Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur schwebenden Führung von bahnförmigem Material, insbesondere von Metallbändern, mittels eines Gases mit mindestens einer Einheit, in der zu beiden Oberflächen des bahnförmigen Materials jeweils ein Schwebedüsenfeld mit Düsenrippen, aus welchen das Gas auf das bahnförmige Material aufströmt, angeordnet ist, und jedes Schwebedüsenfeld von einem ihm zugeordneten Radialventilator, der zum jeweiligen Schwebedüsenfeld in bezug auf das bahnförmige Material seitlich versetzt in einem Spiralgehäuse angeordnet ist, über ein Strömungskanalsystem mit Gas gespeist wird, wobei beide Radialventilatoren in der Einheit auf der in bezug auf das bahnförmige Material gleichen Seite angeordnet sind.The invention relates to a device for the floating guidance of sheet-like material, in particular of metal strips, by means of a gas having at least one unit, in each of which a surface of the float nozzle with nozzle ribs, from which the gas flows onto the sheet-like material, is arranged on both surfaces of the sheet material , and each floating nozzle field is fed by a radial fan associated therewith, which is laterally offset in a volute to the respective floating nozzle field with respect to the sheet material, via a flow channel system with gas, both centrifugal fans in the unit on the with respect to the sheet material same side are arranged.
Vorrichtungen dieser Art sind aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt. In dem Artikel "Gasbeheizte Durchlaufanlagen zur Wärmebehandlung schwebend geführter Metallbänder aus Kupferlegierungen - neue Entwicklungen und Zukunftsperspektiven" (GASWÄRME International (52) Nr. 7/2003) ist eine Vorrichtung zur beidseitigen Beblasung eines Metallbandes beschrieben, bei welcher die in einem Behandlungsraum zu beiden Flächen des Bandes angeordneten, aus einzelnen Düsenrippen bestehenden Schwebedüsenfelder jeweils durch einen Radialventilator mit einem Beblasungsgas gespeist werden. Dabei sind die Radialventilatoren zum Metallband seitlich versetzt auf einer Seite der Vorrichtung in zueinander punktsymmetrisch ausgerichteten Spiralgehäusen angeordnet. Jeder Radialventilator bläst in einen parallel zur Transportrichtung des Metallbandes verlaufenden Strömungskanal aus, welcher nach zweifacher Umlenkung am jeweiligen stirnseitigen Ende der Vorrichtung in einen parallelen Kanalabschnitt mit entgegengesetzter Strömungsrichtung übergeht. Aus diesem Kanalabschnitt strömt das Beblasungsgas nach einer weiteren Umlenkung in die Düsenrippen des jeweiligen Schwebedüsenfeldes auf deren rückwärtiger Seite ein.Devices of this type are known from the prior art. The article "Gas-fired continuous systems for the heat treatment of suspended metal strips of copper alloys - new developments and future prospects" (GASWÄRME International (52) No. 7/2003) describes a device for double-sided blowing of a metal strip, which in a treatment room to both surfaces arranged the belt, consisting of individual nozzle ribs floating nozzle fields are each fed by a centrifugal fan with a Beblasungsgas. The centrifugal fans are laterally offset from the metal strip one side of the device arranged in point symmetry aligned spiral housings. Each centrifugal fan blows in a direction parallel to the transport direction of the metal strip flow channel, which merges after double deflection at the respective end face of the device in a parallel channel section with opposite flow direction. From this channel section, the blow-by gas flows, after a further deflection, into the nozzle ribs of the respective floating nozzle field on its rear side.
Der Vorteil dieser Vorrichtung gegenüber solchen Vorrichtungen mit nur einem, beide Schwebedüsenfelder mit Beblasungsgas versorgenden Radialventilator, wie sie z.B. aus der
Von diesem Stand der Technik ausgehend liegt der Erfindung daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zum schwebenden Führen von bahnförmigem Material zu schaffen, die eine vereinfachte Strömungsführung aufweist und somit u.a. die Integration von Heiz- oder Kühlelementen in das Strömungskanalsystem erlaubt.Based on this prior art, the invention is therefore the object of a device to provide floating guidance of web-shaped material, which has a simplified flow guidance and thus allows, inter alia, the integration of heating or cooling elements in the flow channel system.
Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß mit einer Vorrichtung gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1 gelöst, indem die Strömungskanalsysteme in Transportrichtung des bahnförmigen Materials gesehen jeweils U-förmig gestaltet sind, so dass die von den Radialventilatoren erzeugten Gasströme in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Oberfläche des bahnförmigen Materials aus den Spiralgehäusen austreten und anschließend durch zweifache Umlenkung um jeweils ca. 90° in die Düsenrippen der Schwebedüsenfelder auf deren jeweils rückwärtiger Seite einströmen.The object is achieved with a device according to the preamble of
Durch die sehr einfach gestaltete Strömungsführung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung werden die beiden Gasströme lediglich zweifach um ca. 90° umgelenkt, so dass die Strömungskanalsysteme aus wenigen einfachen, geradlinigen Kanalabschnitten bestehen, in denen sich leicht Heiz-oder Kühlelemente zum Zwecke der Wärmebehandlung oder Kühlung des bahnförmigen Materials installieren lassen. Die erfindungsgemäße Art der Strömungsführung ermöglicht zudem eine optimierte Ausnutzung des in der Vorrichtung zur Verfügung stehenden Raumes, was letztlich eine kompaktere und damit eine gegenüber einem thermisch bedingten Verzug unempfindlichere Anlagenauslegung erlaubt.Due to the very simply designed flow guidance of the device according to the invention, the two gas streams are deflected only twice by about 90 °, so that the flow channel systems consist of a few simple, straight channel sections in which easily heating or cooling elements for the purpose of heat treatment or cooling of the web-like Have the material installed. The type of flow guidance according to the invention also makes possible an optimized utilization of the space available in the device, which ultimately allows a more compact system design, which is less susceptible to thermally induced distortion.
Nach einer ersten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass das bahnförmige Material horizontal durch die Vorrichtung geführt wird, so dass die Schwebedüsenfelder oberhalb und unterhalb des bahnförmigen Materials angeordnet sind. Aufgrund der getrennten Regelbarkeit der Gasströme durch die für das obere und das untere Schwebedüsenfeld einzeln vorgesehenen Radialventilatoren lässt sich dabei die Tragkraft des das Band führenden gesamten Gasstromes sehr präzise einstellen. Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung erlaubt prinzipiell jedoch ebenso eine vertikale oder beliebig schräge oder auch gekrümmte Führung des bahnförmigen Materials.According to a first embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the web-like material is guided horizontally through the device, so that the floating nozzle fields above and below the web-shaped material are arranged. Due to the separate controllability of the gas streams through the separately provided for the upper and lower floating nozzle jet radial fans while the carrying capacity of the band leading total gas flow can be adjusted very precisely. However, the device according to the invention in principle also allows a vertical or any oblique or even curved guidance of the web-shaped material.
Gemäß einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Spiralgehäuse derart geformt, dass die aus den Spiralgehäusen jeweils austretenden Gasströme sich in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Oberfläche des bahnförmigen Materials bis auf die gesamte Länge der Schwebedüsenfelder erweitern. Eine derartig divergente Gasströmung, welche sich lediglich bei der erfindungsgemäßen Strömungsführungen, bei der die Gasströme in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Oberfläche des bahnförmigen Materials aus den Spiralgehäusen austreten, realisieren lässt, ermöglicht eine besonders gleichmäßig Verteilung des Gases auf die einzelnen Düsenrippen, so dass folglich auch die an den Enden des Schwebedüsenfeldes angeordneten Düsenrippen mit dem gleichen Volumenstrom versorgt werden wie die auf Höhe des jeweiligen Radialventilator liegenden.According to a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the spiral housings are shaped in such a way that the gas flows emerging from the spiral housings expand in a plane perpendicular to the surface of the web-like material up to the entire length of the floating nozzle fields. Such a divergent gas flow, which can be realized only in the flow guides according to the invention, in which the gas flows in a plane perpendicular to the surface of the sheet material from the volute, realizes a particularly uniform distribution of the gas to the individual nozzle ribs, and consequently also the arranged at the ends of the floating nozzle field nozzle ribs are supplied with the same volume flow as lying at the level of the respective centrifugal fan.
Die Gleichmäßigkeit der Gasströmung, d.h. ein annähernd identischer und zeitlich konstanter Volumenstrom in jeder Düsenrippe, kann entscheidend weiter verbessert werden, indem die Spiralgehäuse jeweils ein gekrümmtes Strömungsleitblech aufweisen, welches den von dem jeweiligen Radialventilator erzeugten Gasstrom im wesentlichen halbiert. Damit wird der Gasstrom bereits im Spiralgehäuse in zwei Teilströme aufgeteilt, welche jeweils eine Gruppe von Düsenrippen versorgen.The uniformity of the gas flow, ie an approximately identical and temporally constant volume flow in each nozzle rib, can be decisively further improved by the spiral housing each having a curved flow baffle, which substantially halves the gas flow generated by the respective centrifugal fan. Thus, the gas flow is already in Spiral housing divided into two sub-streams, which each supply a group of nozzle ribs.
Eine in Längsrichtung der Vorrichtung, d.h. in Transportrichtung des bahnförmigen Materials, äußerst platzsparende Anordnung der beiden Spiralgehäuse kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass diese punktsymmetrisch in bezug auf den Mittelpunkt der Verbindungslinie der Radialventilatorachsen ausgerichtet sind. Auch senkrecht dazu kann der Platzbedarf beider Spiralgehäuse weiter verringert werden, indem beide Radialventilatorachsen auf einer parallel zur Transportrichtung des bahnförmigen Materials verlaufenden Linie angeordnet sind.A longitudinal direction of the device, i. in the transport direction of the web material, extremely space-saving arrangement of the two spiral housings can be achieved in that they are aligned point-symmetrically with respect to the center of the connecting line of the radial fan axes. Also perpendicular to the space requirement of both spiral housing can be further reduced by both radial fan axes are arranged in a direction parallel to the transport direction of the web material extending line.
Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Vorrichtung zum Zwecke der Wärmebehandlung des bahnförmigen Materials wenigstens ein Heizelement zur Erhitzung des Gases auf. Durch Einbau eines Heizelementes lässt sich die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ohne großen konstruktiven Aufwand zu einem Bandschwebeofen erweitern. Alternativ kann die Vorrichtung auch mit Kühlelementen ausgerüstet sein, die eine kontrollierte Abkühlung des durch die Vorrichtung geführten Bandes ermöglichen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the device for the purpose of heat treatment of the web-shaped material at least one heating element for heating the gas. By installing a heating element, the device according to the invention can be expanded without great constructive effort to a strip float furnace. Alternatively, the device may also be equipped with cooling elements that allow a controlled cooling of the guided through the device band.
Die Wärmeübertragung von dem Heizelement auf das bahnförmige Material erfolgt konvektiv, also durch Abgabe von Wärme an das das Heizelement umströmende Gas, welches seinerseits das bahnförmige Material umströmt und dabei aufheizt. Um die Effektivität dieses Prozesses zu steigern, ist es zweckmäßig, jeweils wenigstens ein Heizelement in beiden Strömungskanalsystemen anzuordnen, da anders als im Saugraum der Vorrichtung in diesen Bereichen das Gas das Heizelement mit besonders großer Geschwindigkeit umströmt.The heat transfer from the heating element to the web-shaped material is convective, ie by the release of heat to the gas flowing around the heating element, which in turn flows around the web-like material and thereby heats up. To increase the effectiveness of this process, it is expedient to arrange in each case at least one heating element in both flow channel systems, since unlike in the suction chamber of the device in these areas, the gas flows around the heating element with particularly high speed.
Das Heizelement kann als ein durch Verbrennungsgase von innen beheiztes Heizrohr oder auch als Elektroheizelement ausgebildet sein, wobei es unter konstruktiven Gesichtspunkten vorteilhaft ist, dieses derart in der Vorrichtung anzuordnen, dass es sich quer zur Transportrichtung des bahnförmigen Materials und parallel zu dessen Oberfläche erstreckt. Zu einer weiteren Verbesserung der Wärmeübertragung an das Gas ist es zudem sinnvoll, die für die Wärmeübertragung wirksame Oberfläche des Heizrohres zu vergrößern, beispielsweise indem das Heizrohr an seinem in die Vorrichtung hineinragenden Ende zusätzlich eine Heizschlaufe aufweist, in einer Draufsicht also beispielsweise p-förmig ausgebildet ist.The heating element can be designed as a heating tube heated by combustion gases from the inside or else as an electric heating element, it being advantageous from a constructional point of view to arrange it in the device in such a way that it extends transversely to the transport direction of the sheet material and parallel to its surface. For a further improvement of the heat transfer to the gas, it is also useful to increase the effective heat transfer surface of the heating tube, for example by the heating tube additionally has a heating loop at its end projecting into the device, in a plan view, for example, p-shaped is.
Eine mehrstufige Führung oder Behandlung des bahnförmigen Materials lässt sich dadurch erreichen, dass die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung aus mehreren in Transportrichtung des bahnförmigen Materials hintereinander angeordneten Einheiten besteht. Ist eine Wärmebehandlung des bahnförmigen Materials in einer solchen Anlage vorgesehen, so ist wenigstens eine der Einheiten mit wenigstens einem Heizelement ausgerüstet, welches in der oben beschriebenen Weise, beispielsweise als Heizrohr, ausgebildet sein kann. Soll das bahnförmige Material nach der Aufheizung wieder abgekühlt werden, so kann entsprechend vorgesehen sein, dass die auf die Heizeinheit folgende Einheit mit Kühlelementen zur kontrollierten Abkühlung des bahnförmigen Materials ausgerüstet ist.A multi-level guidance or treatment of the sheet-like material can be achieved in that the device according to the invention consists of a plurality of units arranged one behind the other in the direction of transport of the sheet material. If a heat treatment of the web-shaped material is provided in such a system, then at least one of the units is equipped with at least one heating element, which may be formed in the manner described above, for example as a heating tube. If the sheet-like material to be cooled again after heating, it may be provided accordingly that the unit following the heating unit is equipped with cooling elements for controlled cooling of the sheet material.

Die in der Figur 1 dargestellte Vorrichtung zur schwebenden Führung und Wärmebehandlung von Metallband umfasst ein quaderförmiges Gehäuse 1 mit einem Einlaufschlitz 1a und einem Auslaufschlitz 1b, durch welche das zu behandelnde Metallband B in die Vorrichtung hineingeführt bzw. aus ihr herausgeführt wird. Beim Durchlauf durch die Vorrichtung wird das Metallband B von einem oberen und einem unteren Düsenfeld 2, 3 mit Gas beaufschlagt und somit schwebend geführt. Dabei umfassen die Düsenfelder 2, 3 jeweils eine Anzahl von Düsenrippen 2a, 3a, aus denen das Gas auf das Band B aufströmt, sowie jeweils zwischen zwei Düsenrippen 2a, 3a angeordnete Abströmkanäle 2b, 3b, über welche die an den Bandoberflächen reflektierten Gasströme in einen Saugraum 4 wieder abströmen. Der quaderförmige Saugraum 4 ist in der Ansicht der Figur 1 hinter den Schwebedüsenfeldern angeordnet und erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge der Vorrichtung. Wie bereits erwähnt, wird das durch die Vorrichtung schwebend geführte Metallband B zugleich wärmebehandelt. Dazu sind vorliegend oberhalb bzw. unterhalb der Schwebedüsenfelder 2, 3 jeweils drei Heizelemente 7, 8 angeordnet, welche die Gasströme vor Eintritt in die Düsenrippen erhitzen, wie im folgenden noch näher beschrieben wird.The device shown in Figure 1 for the floating guidance and heat treatment of metal strip comprises a

Beide Radialventilatoren sind dabei in bezug auf das Metallband B auf der gleichen Seite der Vorrichtung positioniert (siehe Figur 2) und werden jeweils durch einen eigenen nicht dargestellten Motor angetrieben. Die Radialventilatoren 5, 6 sind ferner in Spiralgehäusen 5a, 6a angeordnet, welche derart ausgerichtet sind, dass die von den Radialventilatoren 5, 6 erzeugten Gasströme in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Oberfläche des Metallbandes B aus den Spiralgehäusen 5a, 6a austreten. Weiterhin sind die Spiralgehäuse 5a, 6a derart geformt, dass sich die aus ihnen austretenden Gasströme bis auf die gesamte Länge der Schwebedüsenfelder 2, 3 erweitern. Eine derartig divergente Gasströmung ermöglicht dabei eine besonders gleichmäßige Verteilung des Gases auf die einzelnen Düsenrippen, so dass folglich die an den Enden der Schwebedüsenfelder 2, 3 angeordneten Düsenrippen 2a, 3a mit dem gleichen Volumenstrom versorgt werden, wie die auf Höhe der Radialventilatoren 5, 6 liegenden. Vorzugsweise ist innerhalb der Spiralgehäuse 5a, 6a zudem jeweils ein gekrümmtes Strömungsleitblech 5b, 6b vorgesehen, welches den von dem jeweiligen Radialventilator 5, 6 erzeugten, in Figur 3 mit Pfeilen dargestellten Gasstrom im wesentlichen halbiert. Dies trägt ebenfalls zu einer Vergleichmäßigung der Gasströme bei.As shown in the side sectional view of Figure 3, the upper and the lower floating
Die relativ voluminösen Spiralgehäuse 5a, 6a können gleichwohl platzsparend in bezug auf Länge und Höhe der Vorrichtung an deren einer Längswand angeordnet werden. Dazu sind sie bevorzugt punktsymmetrisch in bezug auf den Mittelpunkt der Verbindungslinie der Radialventilatorachsen ausgerichtet. Zudem sind beide Radialventilatorachsen vorzugsweise auf einer parallel zur Transportrichtung des bahnförmigen Materials verlaufenden Linie angeordnet.The relatively bulky
Wie in der stirnseitigen Schnittansicht der Vorrichtung (Figur 2) gezeigt, sind die Spiralgehäuse 5a, 6a Teil zweier U-förmig gestalteter Strömungskanalsysteme S1, S2, über welche die von den Radialventilatoren 5, 6 erzeugten Gasströme in die Düsenrippen 2a, 3a der Schwebedüsenfelder 2, 3 gelangen. Dabei treten die Gasströme, wie bereits erwähnt, zunächst in einer Ebene senkrecht zur Oberfläche des bahnförmigen Materials aus den Spiralgehäusen 5a, 6a aus und strömen anschließend durch zweifache Umlenkung um jeweils ca. 90° in die Düsenrippen 2a, 3a der Schwebedüsenfelder 2, 3 auf deren jeweils rückwärtiger Seite ein. Dabei werden die U-förmigen Strömungskanalsysteme S1, S2 außenseitig durch die Gehäusewand 1 und innenseitig durch die Wand des Saugraumes 4 begrenzt.As shown in the frontal sectional view of the device (Figure 2), the
Nach der ersten Umlenkung strömen die Gasströme horizontal und quer zur Transportrichtung des Metallbandes B, wobei sie die sowohl oberhalb als auch unterhalb der Schwebedüsenfelder 2, 3 angeordneten Heizelemente 7, 8 umströmen. Die Heizelemente 7, 8 sind vorzugsweise als durch Verbrennungsgase von innen beheizte Heizrohr ausgebildet, welche sich quer zur Transportrichtung des Bandes B und parallel zu seiner Oberfläche erstrecken. Ferner weisen die Heizelemente 7, 8 zur Erhöhung ihrer wirksamen Oberfläche an ihren in die Vorrichtung hineinragenden Enden zusätzlich jeweils eine Heizschlaufe auf, so dass sie, wie in Figur 4 dargestellt, in Draufsicht p-förmig ausgebildet sind. Dadurch, dass sämtliche Heizelemente 7, 8 in den Strömungskanalsystemen S1, S2 und nicht im Saugraum 4 angeordnet sind, werden sie durch die von den Radialventilatoren 5, 6 beschleunigten Gasströme besonders schnell umströmt, was eine effektive Aufheizung des Gases und damit eine effektive konvektive Wärmeübertragung von den Heizelementen 7, 8 auf das Metallband B bewirkt.After the first deflection, the gas streams flow horizontally and transversely to the transport direction of the metal strip B, wherein they flow around the
Die durch die Heizelemente 7, 8 aufgeheizten Gasströme strömen in die Düsenrippen 2a, 3a der Schwebedüsenfelder 2, 3 über deren jeweils rückwärtige Seite ein und schließlich über in den Düsenrippen 2a, 3a vorgesehene (nicht dargestellte) Düsen auf die Bandoberfläche auf. Dort werden die Gasströme in die Abströmkanäle 2b, 3b reflektiert, von wo aus sie über in der Seitenwand des Saugraumes 4 vorgesehene Öffnungen 4b in diesen eintreten. Das im Saugraum gesammelte Gas wird wiederum über die Ansaugstutzen 4a von den Radialventilatoren 5, 6 angesaugt und erneut beschleunigt.The gas streams heated by the
