Abstract
Description
La présente concerne le domaine de l'industrie textile, en particulier du traitement de fils au moyen de machines de traitement thermique couramment appelées machines de thermofixation, et a pour objet une telle machine comportant un dispositif de positionnement du tapis transporteur en défilement muni d'un moyen de maintien de ce dernier en écartement en hauteur par rapport au moyen de contrôle de position.The present relates to the field of the textile industry, in particular the treatment of yarns by means of heat treatment machines commonly called heat-setting machines, and relates to such a machine comprising a device for positioning the conveyor conveyor belt provided with means for maintaining the latter spaced apart in height relative to the position control means.
Les machines de traitement thermique sont essentiellement constituées par une enceinte pressurisée de traitement thermique de fils textiles déposés sur un tapis transporteur traversant ladite enceinte, qui est fermée à ses deux extrémités par des têtes d'étanchéité comportant chacune un bâti ou porte mobile fixé à l'enceinte pressurisée, une paire de rouleaux horizontaux superposés qui sont pressés contre les faces opposées du tapis transporteur et des moyens d'étanchéité pour former une fermeture étanche entre les rouleaux et le bâti.The heat treatment machines essentially consist of a pressurized heat treatment chamber for textile threads deposited on a conveyor belt passing through said chamber, which is closed at its two ends by sealing heads, each comprising a frame or mobile door attached to the housing. pressurized vessel, a pair of superposed horizontal rollers which are pressed against opposite faces of the conveyor belt and sealing means to form a seal between the rollers and the frame.
Les rouleaux horizontaux sont actionnés par des moyens de serrage permettant un déplacement d'au moins un des rouleaux en direction de l'autre, en vue de leur serrage contre le tapis transporteur. En outre, les têtes d'étanchéité sont montées, chacune par l'intermédiaire de son bâti ou porte mobile, de manière pivotante par rapport à un axe médian vertical et sont reliées à l'enceinte de traitement par l'intermédiaire d'un soufflet s'étendant entre l'axe de pivotement vertical et le bâti ou porte mobile desdites têtes d'étanchéité.The horizontal rollers are actuated by clamping means allowing at least one of the rollers to move towards the other, in order to clamp them against the conveyor belt. In addition, the sealing heads are mounted, each via its frame or movable door, pivotally relative to a vertical central axis and are connected to the treatment chamber via a bellows extending between the vertical pivot axis and the frame or movable door of said sealing heads.
En cours de fonctionnement, le tapis transporteur peut subir une dérive entre l'entrée et la sortie de la machine de traitement thermique, dérive risquant de provoquer, en cas de dépassement d'une limite prédéterminée, un risque d'accrochage à l'intérieur de la machine, ce qui peut entraîner pour le moins des arrêts de la machine en vue de remédier au problème, voire des détériorations.During operation, the conveyor belt may undergo a drift between the inlet and outlet of the heat treatment machine, drift may cause, in case of exceeding a predetermined limit, a risk of snagging inside of the machine, which can cause at least stops of the machine to remedy the problem, or even damage.
Il a été proposé de solutionner ce problème par prévision d'un positionnement du tapis transporteur entre les têtes d'entrée et de sortie par l'intermédiaire de cellules de détection de la positon de ladite bande aux extrémités de la machine, c'est-à-dire près des têtes d'étanchéité, ces cellules de détection délivrant un signal de commande de modification de la position des têtes au moyen d'actionneurs agissant sur le bâti ou porte mobile de ces dernières pour provoquer leur pivotement. Un tel pivotement des têtes d'étanchéité a pour effet de modifier la position de l'axe des rouleaux d'étanchéité, de telle sorte que le tapis transporteur est redressé en direction opposée de la déviation constatée, ce du fait du pincement du tapis transporteur entre les rouleaux horizontaux superposés. En effet, lors du pivotement de la tête d'étanchéité le tapis transporteur est entraîné en pivotement, du fait de son pincement entre les rouleaux longitudinaux, suivant une génératrice transversale, ce qui induit un redressement correspondant de celui-ci, afin de corriger sa dérive et de le ramener dans sa position de service normale.It has been proposed to solve this problem by predicting a positioning of the conveyor belt between the input and output heads via positron detection cells of said strip at the ends of the machine, that is, that is to say near the sealing heads, these detection cells delivering a control signal for modifying the position of the heads by means of actuators acting on the frame or door mobile of the latter to provoke their pivoting. Such pivoting of the sealing heads has the effect of modifying the position of the axis of the sealing rollers, so that the conveyor belt is straightened in the opposite direction of the deflection observed, because of the nipping of the conveyor belt between the horizontal rollers superimposed. Indeed, during the pivoting of the sealing head the conveyor belt is pivotally driven, due to its nip between the longitudinal rollers, along a transverse generatrix, which induces a corresponding rectification thereof, to correct its drift and bring it back to its normal service position.
Généralement, les moyens de détection et de correction de position du tapis transporteur de telles machines conviennent parfaitement pour assurer un bon positionnement dudit tapis transporteur. Cependant, il se pose un problème de détection et donc de correction de la déviation lorsque le tapis transporteur, suite à son vieillissement, s'incurve. En effet, les capteurs de position du tapis transporteur à l'entrée et à la sortie de la machine sont sensibles à la déformation de ce tapis transporteur.Generally, the means for detecting and correcting the position of the conveyor belt of such machines are perfectly suitable for ensuring a good positioning of said conveyor belt. However, there is a problem of detection and thus correction of the deflection when the conveyor belt, following aging, is curved. Indeed, the position sensors of the conveyor belt at the entrance and exit of the machine are sensitive to the deformation of the conveyor belt.
Par ailleurs, du fait du montage des bâtis ou portes mobiles des têtes d'étanchéité, chacun sur un axe de pivotement vertical prévu à distance desdits bâtis ou portes mobiles des têtes d'étanchéité, il est nécessaire de tenir compte de manière anticipée du pivotement desdites têtes d'étanchéité, qui est augmenté par un effet de bras de levier dû à la distance entre l'axe de pivotement et le plan des rouleaux horizontaux superposés et de la distance entre les capteurs et les têtes, entraînant une amplification du redressement de la dérive constatée.Moreover, because of the mounting of the frames or mobile doors of the sealing heads, each on a vertical pivot axis provided at a distance from said frames or movable doors of the sealing heads, it is necessary to take account in advance of the pivoting. of said sealing heads, which is increased by a lever effect due to the distance between the pivot axis and the plane of the superposed horizontal rollers and the distance between the sensors and the heads, resulting in an amplification of the rectification of the the drift found.
De plus, le montage des têtes d'étanchéité de la manière décrite ci-dessus induit un porte-à-faux important des têtes et donc des contraintes correspondantes sur l'axe de pivotement, nécessitant un dimensionnement correspondant de l'ensemble des éléments de montage desdites têtes.In addition, the mounting of the sealing heads in the manner described above induces a significant overhang of the heads and therefore the corresponding stresses on the pivot axis, requiring a corresponding dimensioning of all the elements of the mounting said heads.
Par
A cet effet, le moyen de positionnement consiste en un axe de pivotement du bâti ou porte mobile solidarisé directement avec ledit bâti ou porte mobile et en un actionneur de pivotement du bâti ou porte mobile par l'intermédiaire d'une tringlerie reliée à l'actionneur du type vérin à vis. Le moyen de contrôle de position est constitué par un capteur de position analogique proportionnel disposé près d'au moins un bord du tapis transporteur, à proximité des rouleaux horizontaux superposés de la tête d'étanchéité, ce capteur étant relié à un moyen de calcul délivrant un signal de correction à un servo-variateur de commande de l'actionneur du moyen de positionnement du bâti ou porte mobile. Le capteur formant le moyen de contrôle de position est un capteur optique, un capteur pneumatique, un capteur à courant de Foucauld ou un capteur à palpeur.For this purpose, the positioning means consists of a pivot axis of the frame or movable door directly attached to said frame or movable door and to a pivot actuator of the frame or movable door via a linkage connected to the actuator of the screw jack type. The position control means is constituted by a proportional analog position sensor disposed near at least one edge of the conveyor belt, close to the superposed horizontal rollers of the sealing head, this sensor being connected to a calculating means delivering a correction signal to a servo drive controller of the actuator of the positioning means of the frame or movable door. The sensor forming the position control means is an optical sensor, a pneumatic sensor, a Foucauld current sensor or a probe sensor.
Le dispositif selon ce dernier document permet d'assurer une bonne maîtrise de la dérive d'un tapis transporteur, par une correction en continue, quelle que soit la vitesse de défilement du tapis, et donc un positionnement correct dudit tapis. Cependant, sa mise en oeuvre nécessite encore des moyens relativement complexes.The device according to the latter document makes it possible to ensure good control of the drift of a conveyor belt, by a continuous correction, regardless of the running speed of the belt, and therefore a correct positioning of said belt. However, its implementation still requires relatively complex means.

Conformément à une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, il est également possible de prévoir que le moyen de maintien du tapis transporteur 2 en écartement en hauteur par rapport au moyen de contrôle de position 9 soit sous forme d'une paire de roulettes de guidage (non représentée), prévues à proximité immédiate du capteur formant le moyen de contrôle de position 9, sur chaque lisière du tapis transporteur 2 et maintenant la ou les lisières à un écartement constant en hauteur dudit capteur.According to another embodiment of the invention, it is also possible to provide that the means for holding the
Suivant une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représentée aux dessins annexés, le moyen de maintien du tapis transporteur 2 en écartement en hauteur par rapport au moyen de contrôle de position 9 peut également être sous forme d'un patin transversal d'appui déviant ledit tapis transporteur 2 vers le haut.According to another alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the means for holding the
Conformément à une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen de contrôle de position 9, sous forme d'au moins un capteur de position analogique proportionnel, est choisi dans le groupe formé par les capteurs inductifs et les capteurs de pression.According to another characteristic of the invention, the position control means 9, in the form of at least one proportional analog position sensor, is chosen from the group formed by the inductive sensors and the pressure sensors.
De préférence et comme le montre plus particulièrement la
Ainsi, il est possible d'effectuer, avec un temps de réaction très faible, des pivotements d'amplitude parfaitement contrôlée du bâti ou porte mobile 3, de sorte que la tête d'étanchéité constituée par les rouleaux 5 et 6 est pivotée autour de son axe de pivotement 10 et induit un déplacement du tapis transporteur 2 en sens contraire de la dérive constatée.Thus, it is possible to perform, with a very short reaction time, perfectly controlled amplitude swiveling of the frame or
Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représentée aux dessins annexés, l'actionneur 11 peut se présenter sous forme d'un vérin simple effet agissant sur un côté de l'extrémité libre de la tringlerie 12 d'entraînement en pivotement du bâti ou porte mobile 3 et rappelé en position par l'intermédiaire d'un ressort de rappel. Dans un tel cas, la chambre du vérin est alimentée en continu sous une pression variable en fonction du déplacement souhaité de la tringlerie. Ainsi, une augmentation de la pression aura pour conséquence de déplacer la tringlerie contre l'action du ressort de rappel et une diminution de cette pression aura pour conséquence un déplacement en sens inverse, proportionnel à cette diminution de pression. Bien entendu, le déplacement de la tringlerie, sous l'action de la pression exercée sur le piston du vérin ou de la pression exercée en sens contraire par le ressort, pourra être contrôlé par un capteur de position angulaire ou analogue.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the
Selon une autre variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représenté aux dessins annexés, il est également possible de réaliser l'actionneur 11 sous forme d'un vérin double effet agissant sur l'extrémité libre de la tringlerie 12 et dont les chambres sont alternativement alimentées en pression. Dans un tel mode de réalisation, il suffira d'alimenter l'une ou l'autre chambre du vérin double effet pour réaliser le déplacement de la tringlerie 12 et donc un pivotement du bâti ou de la porte mobile 3 dans un sens ou dans l'autre. Dans un tel cas, les deux chambres opposées du vérin double effet sont reliées chacune à la bâche avec interposition d'un moyen d'étranglement permettant un contrôle parfait du déplacement de la tige de piston, en particulier sans heurt.According to another embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, it is also possible to produce the
Enfin, il est également possible de réaliser l'actionneur 11 sous forme d'un vérin double (non représenté), dont le corps est relié à l'extrémité libre de la tringlerie 12 et dont chaque tige de piston est reliée à un support fixe prévu du côté correspondant du bâti de la machine de traitement. Dans un tel cas de figure, la chambre de pression de chaque vérin est également avantageusement reliée à la bâche par l'intermédiaire d'un moyen d'étranglement.Finally, it is also possible to realize the
Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le moyen de contrôle de position 9, sous forme d'au moins un capteur de position analogique proportionnel, est un capteur inductif (
Conformément à une caractéristique de l'invention, le capteur inductif formant le moyen de contrôle de position 9 est relié à un distributeur proportionnel analogique 13 de commande de l'actionneur 11. Un tel distributeur permet, par exemple, d'alimenter les deux vérins souples ou à membranes 11' agissant chacun d'un côté de l'extrémité libre de la tringlerie 12 d'entraînement en pivotement du bâti ou porte mobile 3 par ses sorties 12' et 12". Du fait qu'un tel distributeur présente un temps de réponse très court, à savoir de quelques millisecondes, et a un débit très important, il est capable d'équilibrer la pression dans les vérins 11' et 11" quasi instantanément. Bien entendu, un tel distributeur proportionnel est également adapté à la commande des autres types de vérins cités plus haut.According to a characteristic of the invention, the inductive sensor forming the position control means 9 is connected to an analog
Il est également possible, selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, de disposer le capteur inductif formant le moyen de contrôle de position 9 entre le rouleau de support transversal 14 et les rouleaux horizontaux superposés 5, 6 constituant chaque tête d'étanchéité.It is also possible, according to an alternative embodiment of the invention, to have the inductive sensor forming the position control means 9 between the
Selon une variante de réalisation de l'invention, non représentée aux dessins annexés, le capteur inductif formant le moyen de contrôle de position 9 et l'actionneur 11 peuvent être uniques pour l'ensemble de la machine, la tringlerie 12 d'entraînement en pivotement du bâti ou porte mobile 3 reliée à l'actionneur 11 étant alors connectée à la tringlerie 12 du bâti ou porte mobile 3 opposé, ou directement connectée au bâti ou à la porte mobile 3 opposé, au moyen d'une commande inversée. Une telle commande inversée peut consister, par exemple, en une bielle liée par une extrémité à un côté du bâti ou porte mobile 3 d'une extrémité de la machine et par son autre extrémité au côté opposé du bâti ou porte mobile 3 de l'extrémité opposée de la machine.According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, not shown in the accompanying drawings, the inductive sensor forming the position control means 9 and the
La
Dans ce mode de réalisation, les éléments d'actionnement en pivotement du bâti ou porte mobile 3, de même que le distributeur proportionnel analogique 13, ne sont pas représentés sur la
Le fonctionnement du dispositif selon la présente invention, en particulier en ce qui concerne le redressement du tapis est comparable à celui décrit à propos du dispositif selon le document
Grâce à l'invention, il est possible de maîtriser parfaitement la dérive d'un tapis transporteur, que ce dernier soit parfaitement neuf et redressé ou usé et présentant des déformations telles qu'une flèche ou des ondulations par une correction en continue de ladite dérive. L'invention permet donc de positionner parfaitement, sur une portion déterminée de sa longueur, un tapis transporteur 2 de grande longueur, en défilement continu dans un plan.Thanks to the invention, it is possible to perfectly control the drift of a conveyor belt, that it is perfectly new and straightened or worn and having deformations such as an arrow or corrugations by a continuous correction of said drift . The invention therefore makes it possible to position perfectly, over a given portion of its length, a
En outre, la mise en oeuvre de deux ensembles de moyen de contrôle de position 9 et actionneur 11 permet, par réglage préalable individuel de ces ensembles, de maîtriser parfaitement les actions effectuées à l'arrière et à l'avant de la machine, voire d'obtenir un actionnement légèrement différent entre les deux extrémités, par exemple un redressage du tapis en défilement plus important en sortie de machine qu'en entrée de machine, ou inversement.In addition, the use of two sets of position control means 9 and
De plus, l'utilisation de capteurs inductifs ou de capteur de pression rend possible un positionnement préalable de la tête d'étanchéité correspondante avec une régulation de la position du tapis transporteur 2 dès le début du fonctionnement de la machine.In addition, the use of inductive sensors or pressure sensor makes it possible to pre-position the corresponding sealing head with regulation of the position of the
Enfin, par ajustement de la pression dans le ou les vérins formant l'actionneur 11, la raideur du système peut être modifiée, c'est-à-dire que les mouvements de pivotement du bâti ou porte mobile 3 peuvent être plus ou moins brusques.Finally, by adjusting the pressure in the jack or cylinders forming the
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée aux modes de réalisation décrits et représentés aux dessins annexés. Des modifications restent possibles, notamment du point de vue de la constitution des divers éléments ou par substitution d'équivalents techniques, sans sortir pour autant du domaine de protection de l'invention.Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described and shown in the accompanying drawings. Modifications are possible, particularly from the point of view of the constitution of the various elements or by substitution of technical equivalents, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
