Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method in a reeler of a fibre web according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a device in a reeler of a fibre web according to the preamble of claim 5.
  • the present invention relates to a method and a device in reeling a fibre web, such as a paper or board web, into a machine reel i.e. a reel corresponding to the full-width of the web.
  • a machine reel i.e. a reel corresponding to the full-width of the web.
  • the width of machine reels is usually 2.0-10:0 m and the diameter 2.0-4.5 m naturally depending on the dimensioning of the paper or board machine.
  • the machine reelers of a paper or board web are usually located at the end of the manufacturing line of the paper or board web and with them the completed fibre web is reeled into a machine roll around a reeling shaft i.e. a so-called spool.
  • a reeling shaft i.e. a so-called spool.
  • on-line or off-line finishing apparatuses by means of which customer rolls according to customer requirements are manufactured of the paper or board web.
  • a reeling drum arranged in a nip contact with the reeling shaft and the web roll forming around it is usually utilised.
  • a problem in connection with the machine reelers of a fibre web is that, when reeling fibre-web types having poor air permeability at high speeds, air is carried along inside the machine roll from a nip between the forming web roll and the reeling drum. Air inside the roll, again, decreases the friction between the web layers in the roll, which can cause different reeling problems, such as reel falling, telescoping, edge displacement, flagging, wrinkles etc.
  • a contact roll is e.g. a roll used in reeling, which is partly covered by the web and which is in pressure contact with the forming web roll and which prevents air from penetrating into the forming web roll especially during high reeling speeds. It is possible to us higher pressure in the middle of the contact roll compared to the pressure used at the ends in order to press the air travelling with the web to the sides.
  • US patent 6,604,703 shows a reeling cylinder using a reeling cylinder adjustable on its bow.
  • a separate pressure roll can be used, which is pressed against the forming web roll before the reeling nip is opened.
  • the separate press roll forms a roll nip after the reeling nip with the forming web roll and the aim of the roll nip is to prevent air from penetrating into the web roll when the reeling nip is opened.
  • EP patent publication 369 977 shows a reeler using a deflection compensated reeling shaft and a deflection compensated reeling cylinder.
  • the idea of the deflection compensated reeling cylinder is to keep the nip pressure as even as possible in the reeling nip.
  • a roll adjustable in its bow is described in FI patent applications 20031384 and 20041287 which describe a roll for paper, board or finishing machines in which the outer shell of the roll is supported from its ends to the frame structures of the machine by means of an adjustable bearing so that both the direction and amount of the deflection of the outer shell can be controlled i.e. the bow of the outer shell of the roll can be adjusted for compensating the tightness differences between the edge and middle areas of the web.
  • the roll consists of two parts supported to each other in the middle area of the roll, an inner tube and an outer shell.
  • the nominal stiffness of the production material of the inner tube of the roll can be substantially greater than the nominal stiffness of the production material of the outer shell of the roll.
  • T roll A roll of this type with two shells, supported from the middle, adjustable of its bow, of equal diameter, a so-called T roll has been used e.g. in calenders as a fly roll.
  • Document EP 1 167 256 A is considered to represent the closest prior art.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device in reeling a fibre web in which the above-described disadvantages and problems of arrangements known from prior art have been eliminated or at least minimised.
  • a special object of the invention is thus to create a novel type of an arrangement by means of which the structure of the web roll can be affected.
  • a device according to the invention is mainly characterised by what is presented in the characterising part of claim 5.
  • a separate roll adjustable of its bow which is used substantially for the whole time of reeling and by means of which a roll nip is provided at the forming web roll.
  • the bow of the roll is advantageously adjusted so that the pressure in the roll nip between the roll and the forming web roll does not increase, advantageously decreases towards the ends of the reel, whereby e.g. it is easier to remove air from the structure of the web roll towards lower pressure.
  • the nip pressure profile of the roll nip between the separate roll adjustable on its bow and the forming web roll is substantially even or lowers towards the edge areas (a sad profile).
  • the roll nip between the separate roll adjustable of its bow and the forming web roll is advantageously located after the reeling nip advantageously as close as possible before the start of the next web layer.
  • the reeling drum can be a roll adjustable of its bow.
  • the direction of the bow is advantageously adjustable, whereby against the rotation direction of the forming web roll is provided a plough effect which facilitates the removal of air from the reel, because air exits the reel in its natural travel direction.
  • the bow and the direction of the bow of the roll adjustable of its bow are adjustable during run, whereby also the tightness profile of the forthcoming web can be affected.
  • equal-diameter roll adjustable of its bow which thus advantageously substantially corresponds the type of a roll described in FI specifications 20031384 and 20041287 of its structure, is achieved as an advantage compared with crowned rolls according to prior art that, when using a roll according to the invention, no speed and thus tightness differences of the cross direction of the web caused by diameter difference, e.g. further loosening of loose edges, will be created.
  • the roll adjustable of its bow utilised in connection with the method and the device according to the invention is advantageously covered with a suitable soft cover, such as polyurethane or rubber, whereby the roll adapts to irregularities possibly on the surface of the machine reel, the air permeance of the web being reeled being low.
  • a suitable soft cover such as polyurethane or rubber
  • onto the surface of the roll is made a low groove rising towards the edges for further enhancement of air removal.
  • the spline of the groove can be multiplex.
  • the roll is provided with an electric drive for adapting the speed to the machine reel speed.
  • the invention is applicable in connection with reelers utilised in reeling different machine reels, particularly advantageously the invention is applicable to be utilised in connection with reelers marketed by the applicant with product names OptiReel and OptiReelPlus and equivalent types.
  • the advantages achieved with the invention become particularly evident when reeling fibre-web types having low air permeability.
  • the nip force of the roll nip is adjusted by measuring the nip force from the ends of the roll with power sensors or by implementing to the roll the measuring of nip pressure profile based on an electro-magnetic foil or other pressure- or power-sensitive sensor or sensor strip directly from the nip. Furthermore, the nip profile can be measured and the deflection and bow radius of the roll can be adjusted.
  • Fig. 1 schematically shows an embodiment of a roll 40 adjustable of its bow to be utilised in connection with the invention, in which an outer shell 42 of the roll is supported from its ends to the frame structure of the machine by means of an adjustable bearing 45 so that the direction and amount of the deflection of the outer shell can be controlled i.e. the bow of the outer shell of the roll can be adjusted for levelling the tightness differences between the edge and middle areas of the web.
  • the roll 40 consists of two parts supported to each other in the middle area of the roll, an inner tube 41 and the outer shell 42.
  • the roll 40 illustrated in the figure is coated with a suitable soft cover 43, such as polyurethane or rubber.
  • the roll 40 is provided with an electric drive (not shown).
  • the roll 40 adjustable of its bow utilised in connection with the invention is advantageously of the type described in FI specifications 20031384 and 20041287 , but also other corresponding types of rolls adjustable of their bow are applicable to be used in connection with the invention.
  • Fig. 2 schematically shows the reeling stage just before transferring the reeling from the secondary position to the primary position i.e. the change stage
  • Fig. 3 schematically shows the reeling stage in which there is a completed reel in the secondary position and the reeling transfers to the primary position
  • Fig. 4 schematically shows the reeling stage in which a completed reel is delivered from the secondary position and the reeling from the primary position is transferred to the secondary position
  • Fig. 5 schematically shows the reeling stage in which reeling carriages are transferred to receive the next reeling shaft, the reeling continuing in the secondary position.
  • the same designations are used of parts corresponding each other. In the embodiment shown in Figs.
  • the structure of a web roll 20 is affected with a roll nip provided with a roll adjustable of its bow.
  • the roll adjustable of its bow is a separate roll 40 arranged in a nip contact with the web roll by means of which is provided a roll nip with the web roll in addition to a reeling nip.
  • into connection with the web roll is arranged in addition to the separate roll adjustable of its bow a reeling drum which is adjustable of its bow.
  • the web W is reeled into the web roll 20 in the stationary secondary reeling position.
  • a secondary drive 25 is connected to a reeling shaft 24.
  • the reeling drum 10 is in a nip contact with the forming web roll 20.
  • the drive of the reeling drum 10 has been referred to with reference number 11, and the direction of movement of the reeling drum 10 with reference number S10.
  • the reeling is about to be changed around a next reeling shaft 21 which is provided with a primary drive 26 and positioned in reeling carriages (not shown in the figure).
  • the reeling shaft 21 has been brought to a nip contact with the reeling drum 10 and the change is performed by means of a water-changing device 16 by cutting the web W and e.g. by means of an air-blowing device 17 by guiding the web W around the reeling shaft 21.
  • the roll 40 adjustable of its bow forms during the change the roll nip assisting the change and the bow of the roll 40 is adjusted during reeling so that the nip pressure profile of the nip between the roll 40 and the forming web roll 22 is substantially even or lowering towards the edge areas, whereby the removal of air towards the lower pressure is easier.
  • the spreader roll of the web W is designated with reference number 18.
  • the reeling carriages move on reeling rails 15. Dashed lines in the figure also show the reeling shafts of forthcoming reels with reference number 21' and their direction of movement in the transfer stage with reference arrows S21'.
  • the reeling has transferred around the new reeling shaft 21 and the forming web roll has been designated with reference number 22.
  • the roll 40 adjustable of its bow forms a roll nip with the forming web roll 22 which nip removes air from the web roll.
  • the direction of the bow of the roll 40 is advantageously adjustable, whereby against the rotation direction of the forming web roll 22 is provided a plough effect which facilitates the removal of air from the reel, because air exits the reel in its natural travel direction.
  • the roll nip N between the roll 40 adjustable of its bow and the forming web roll 22 is located after the reeling nip RN advantageously as close as possible before the start of the next web layer, still typically in the area of the upper part of the bow of the circle of the web roll 22.
  • the surface of the completed web roll 20 situated in the secondary position is bound with the surface binding device 30 for preventing the loosening of reeling.
  • the surface binding device 30 has been transferred by a manner shown with arrow S30 from a stand-by position to a surface binding position ( Fig. 2 ).
  • the reeling drum 10 and the forming new web roll 22 are transferred by a manner shown by arrows S21 and S 10 apart from the web roll 20 in the secondary position.
  • the completed web roll 20' is transferred away from the secondary position.
  • This transfer is shown with arrows S20.
  • the surface binding device 30 has been detached from the web reel 30 and, in this stage, the forming web roll 22 is started to be transferred together with the reeling drum 10 from the primary position in a manner shown by arrows S21 and S10 towards the secondary reeling position and, simultaneously, the roll 40 adjustable of its bow moves along the web roll 22 further forming the roll nip.
  • the forthcoming position of the forming web roll 22 and the reeling drum 10 in the secondary position is shown with dashed lines.
  • the web roll being reeled is designated again with reference number 20.
  • the reeling carriages are returned, as shown with arrow SV, towards the next reeling shaft 21 which is transferred on the reeling rails towards the carriages for starting the reeling of the next web reel around the new reeling shaft 21, when the reel in the secondary position has grown to a desired diameter.
  • the roll 40 adjustable of its bow is in the stand-by position and transfers into connection with the new reeling shaft 21 as the reeling changes onto the new reeling shaft for reeling the next web reel.
