Definitions
- fibers in particular of mineral fibers such as glass fibers, results from a fiber drawing process consisting of the drawing of the material, such as glass, by centrifugation and by the action of gaseous streams at high temperature. .
- Bucket device such as that described in patent application FR 2 544 754, which is constituted by a guide duct disposed on the path of the gas stream below the centrifuge and above the binder spraying device. This duct makes it possible to channel the fibers; it is animated by an oscillation movement to alternately direct the flow of fibers from one edge to the other of the fiber receiving mat.
- Patent FR 1 244 530 thus describes two nozzles which are arranged beyond the binder spraying device and diametrically opposed to the gas flow, and whose air jets are actuated in turn to print the fiber web a movement back and forth when it lands on the reception mat.
- the third portion of the duct may be in the form of a flexible skirt made of an extensible membrane.
- the modification of the dimensions of the skirt may for example result from inflation or any other mechanical stress.
- the skirt may for example take the form of a torus or more generally of any volume generated by the rotation of any shape around an axis located in its plane. The introduction of air into the torus makes it possible to inflate the structure, thus modifying the outlet section of the guide duct.
- Each flange preferably has two opposite lateral edges, one of which overlaps the lateral edge of the adjacent flange, and the mobility of the flanges consists of a pivoting of the flanges towards or away from the X axis, the overlap of the flanges allowing the sliding of a flange against another to ensure their joint inclination.
- the movement operated by the flanges to increase or decrease the outlet section of the duct can be likened respectively to the opening or closing of the petals of a flower corolla.
- the flanges can be disjoint, that is to say do not overlap.
- the flanges are inclined at most 10 °, and preferably at most 7 °, with respect to the axis (X) and in a direction divergent with respect to the axis (X).
- the ring can also contribute to a modification of the position of the third part of the duct with respect to the longitudinal axis: by a movement of the ring in its plane, it is possible to print the flanges an overall movement , which can contribute to optimizing the distribution of fibers in the mattress.
- the hinge means may also consist of a ring surrounding the wall formed by the flanges by exerting a stress on the latter, the diameter of the ring being variable.
- the ring of variable diameter is preferably integral with the flanges. A contraction of the diameter of the ring is thus able to force an inclination of the flanges in the direction of the longitudinal axis X, thus an increase of the convergence of the outlet of the duct with respect to the same axis, whereas a widening of said diameter leads instead to a increasing the divergence of the duct outlet relative to this axis.
- any device making it possible to obtain a ring of variable diameter can be used, such as for example devices of the diaphragm type, noose, or inflatable torus.
- a torus or more generally a volume generated by the rotation of a shape about an axis located in its plane
- a flexible membrane capable of being inflated can by inflation see its internal diameter is reduce, thus creating a constraint on the flanges able to incline them in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
- the hinge means consist of a ring able to be rotatable and which is connected to the flanges to act simultaneously on them, the rotation of the ring being intended to generate a constraint which is exerted on a portion of flanges, the angle of rotation being related to the desired angle of inclination of the flanges relative to the axis (X).
- the device comprises mechanical actuation means acting on the rotation of the mobile ring, these actuating means being manually controlled or controlled by electronically controlled means.
- the first part of the duct comprises its wall which has at its free end preferably a concavity profile facing the inside of the device.
- the curvature of the wall may have a fixed or variable radius of curvature, of a geometric shape, respectively, circular or elliptical, parabolic. This profile ensures that the ambient air enters the duct better by sliding along the inside of the duct wall, providing a guiding channel for the fibers and providing a protective barrier against the fibers which thus avoids stick to the wall.
- the flanges of the third portion have on the inner side of the duct a concave shape to help form the cylindrical shape of the inside of the duct.
- the installation generally comprises an inductor which is arranged under the centrifugation device, the guide duct device being placed near and under the inductor.
- the guide duct preferably has its longitudinal axis (X) fixed relative to the axis (A) of fall of the fiber web. But the guide duct may rather have its longitudinal axis (X) parallel or inclined relative to the axis (A) of fall of the fiber web.
- the articulation means of the guide duct are operable during operation of the fiberizing installation so as to correct the dynamic distribution of the fibers.
- the guide duct which comprises flanges extending substantially parallel to the axis of the duct and arranged in a circular manner and tilting in convergence or divergence with respect to the central axis of the duct and which have their lateral edges such that the edge of a flange overlaps from the outside the edge of an adjacent flange, is disposed in the installation so that the direction of overlap is directed in the opposite direction of rotation of the centrifuge, and therefore in the opposite direction of rotation of the web inside the conduit.
- the fibers can not stick to the level of the gap of overlap of the flanges, because the rotating veil thus runs along the inside of the flanges without risk of getting in precisely at the interstice.
- the installation may comprise a binder supply device which is arranged downstream of the device for improving the distribution of the fibers.
- upstream and downstream in the following description must be understood as the higher and respectively lower parts of an element facing a part of the installation which, set up for its operation receives the flow of the fiber material from top to bottom.
- horizontal and vertical for elements of the guide duct are understood with respect to the arrangement of the guide duct which extends substantially vertically.

- the plant 1 comprises in known manner from upstream to downstream, or from top to bottom in the direction of flow of the melt stretch material, an internal centrifuge device 10 which delivers filaments of a stretchable material. , a drawing device 20 delivering a gaseous stream which transforms the filaments into fibers, an annular inductor located under the centrifuge device 10, a binder supply device 40, a fiber receiving mat 50 on which accumulate the fibers by suction to form the mattress.
- the installation further comprises a device for improving the distribution of fibers 6 on the conveyor belt 50.
- This device is located between the inductor 30 and the binder supply device 40.
- the centrifugation device 10 comprises a centrifuge, also called a fiberizing plate, rotating at high speed and pierced at its peripheral wall by a very large number of orifices through which the melt is projected in the form of filaments under the effect centrifugal force.
- the drawing device 20 comprises an annular burner which delivers a gaseous stream at high temperature and speed along the wall 12 of the centrifuge.
- This burner serves to maintain the high temperature of the wall of the centrifuge and contributes to the thinning of the filaments to transform them into fibers which fall in the form of a substantially tubular web 2 of axis A.
- the stretching gas stream is generally channeled by means of an enveloping cold gas layer.
- This gaseous layer is produced by a blowing ring 21 surrounding the annular burner. It also makes it possible to aid the cooling of fibers whose mechanical strength is thus improved by a thermal quenching effect.
- Annular inductor 30 heats the bottom of the centrifuge device to help maintain the thermal balance of the plate.
- the device for improving the distribution of the fibers 6 comprises a guide duct 60 extending along a longitudinal axis X, which makes it possible to channel the tubular web passing through the duct, and articulation means 7 able to modify the section of the duct. output of the guide duct 60 to promote and regulate the expansion of the fiber web at the outlet of the duct to ultimately manage the distribution of the fibers.
- the device will be described in more detail later.
- the improvement device 6 is fixed relative to the other devices of the fiberizing installation.
- the binder supply device 40 consists of a sizing ring through which the tubular web of fibers flows.
- the crown comprises a multiplicity of nozzles basting the veil of fibers.
- the device of the invention 6 may optionally be associated with a known compressed air blowing system 41, in dashed lines in FIG. 1, such as blow guns, which will be positioned below the sizing ring 40.
- a known compressed air blowing system 41 in dashed lines in FIG. 1, such as blow guns, which will be positioned below the sizing ring 40.
- the fiber web is then deposited on the conveyor belt 50.
- FIG. 2 shows in more detail the device of the invention.
- the solid-walled guide duct 60 has a first upstream portion 61 intended to constitute the entry of the duct for the fiber web, a second central portion 62 and a third downstream portion 63 intended to constitute the outlet of the duct for the web of the web. fibers.
- the upstream portion 61 has a flared shape in the direction of the drawing device to facilitate entry and channeling of the fiber web in the conduit. More particularly, the wall 61a advantageously has a curved profile towards the inside of the device in the direction of the axis X, whose concavity may have a fixed or variable radius of curvature such as that of a circle or an ellipse ( Figure 4).
- the central portion 62 is of cylindrical shape with a longitudinal axis X, it extends in the continuity of the first portion 61 and is preferably a single piece with said first portion.
- the downstream portion 63 is attached to the central portion 62 to provide continuity of the conduit.
- the downstream portion 63 has a circular section capable of varying. This section may be varied during the operation of the fiberizing installation.
- the duct 60 has a generally tubular shape with a neck flared at one of the free ends and an opposite free end which is either flared or narrowed, respectively according to the diameter imposed on the downstream part 63 with respect to the diameter of the central part 62.
- variation of the diameter of this downstream part 63 is obtained by the particular configuration of the constituent elements and by articulation means 7 adapted to act on the mobility of the constituent elements.
- the lower part 63 consists of a plurality of flanges 64 which extend parallel to the axis X and are arranged in a circular manner, and preferably with a concavity turned inwardly of the conduit to easily provide a cylindrical shape within the conduit.
- the flanges 64 have an upper portion 64a, a lower portion 64b and opposite side edges 64c and 64d.
- the portion 64a of the flanges partially covers the central portion 62 of the duct to ensure closure continuity over the entire periphery of the duct to prevent any induced air penetration.
- the lower portion 64b corresponds to the outlet of the conduit 60.
- the flanges are laterally superimposed on each other so that the lateral edge 64c of a flange overlaps the outside edge of the duct with the lateral edge 64d of the adjacent flange, as can be seen in FIG. 3, which shows a sectional view and a bottom view of the flange. leads to the level of the lower part 63.
- the device is disposed in the fiberizing installation so that the direction of overlap is in the opposite direction of rotation of the centrifugation device, and therefore in the opposite direction of rotation of the web inside the conduit (symbolized by the arrow inside the conduit).
- the fibers of the rotating web which thus skirt the inside of the flanges are not likely to be introduced at the gap 65 of overlapping flanges.
- the flanges 64 are associated with the articulation means 7 which simultaneously act by stress on the upper portion 64a of the flanges to generate their inclination.
- the inclination with respect to the axis X is variable, according to an angle ⁇ which varies from -10 ° with a divergent direction relative to the axis X, to + 10 ° with a convergent direction towards the X axis, the reference 0 ° corresponding to the parallelism of the flanges with the axis X and the central part 62.
- the articulation means 7 are adjusted so that when no force is exerted on the upper portion 64a, the inclination of the flanges is divergent with respect to the axis X and maximum angle.
- the articulation means 7, as illustrated in FIG. 2, comprise holding tabs 70, a ring 71 able to be rotatable which is connected to the holding tabs via mechanical links 72, a fixed ring 73 supporting the movable ring 71, and an actuating system 74 adapted to slide in rotation the movable ring 71 relative to the fixed ring.
- the holding tabs 70 are fixed relative to the flanges 64 and are integral with them being for example screwed or welded.
- the tabs 70 serve to hold the flanges in position, the tabs being supported via the mechanical links 72 by the movable ring 71 which is itself supported by the fixed ring 73.
- Each leg is made movable by its inclination relative to the central portion 62 of the duct, to precisely tilt each flange relative to the central portion 62.
- Each lug 70 thus comprises a seat 70a welded to the central portion 62 and a pivot 70b Y axis perpendicular to the axis X and around which the tab is intended to articulate.
- the fixed ring 73 which supports the movable ring allows the rotational sliding of the movable ring 71 by a fastening screw adapted to sliding.
- the fixed ring 73 serves to maintain in place around the guide duct 60 the movable ring 71 because it is secured by surrounding, the upstream portion 61 of the duct.
- each tab 70 to the movable ring 71 is formed by a rod extending in a vertical plane and inclined in this plane ( Figure 2). One of its ends is connected to the ring 71 while its opposite end is connected to the pivot 70b of the tab.
- the connecting rod responds to the difference in height between the retaining tab disposed at the portion 64a of the duct and the ring arranged at the portion 61. It is intended to move in a vertical plane and allows to transform, the horizontal movement of rotation sliding of the ring, in a pivoting movement of the holding tabs around each axis Y.
- the rotation of the ring 71 in one direction or the other leads necessarily to modify the inclination of the rod which will be either more vertical, or will incline more towards the horizontal one.
- the more the inclination is vertical the greater the stress exerted on the retaining tab will be important, the pivoting of the tab will then be in the counterclockwise direction leading to the inclination of the flange in the direction of the X axis.
- more the inclination of the connecting rod will approach the horizontal, the more the stress exerted on the tab will relax causing the pivoting of the tab in the clockwise direction and leading to the inclination of the flange opposite the X axis.
- the actuating system 74 acting on the mobility of the ring 71 has two fixing points which are respectively positioned on the fixed ring 73 and on the movable ring 71, a nut 73a and respectively a nut 71a in which is engaged a threaded rod 74a. Clamping or loosening of the rod causes the sliding nut 73a of the movable ring to slide in rotation relative to the other nut 71a which remains fixed, causing the mobile ring to slide in one direction or the other in rotation.
- Actuation of the rod can be done manually by an operator or can be provided by electronically controlled means in response to an order communicated by a controller.
- the articulation means 7, as illustrated in FIG. 5 consist of a ring of fixed diameter 75, shown in section, whose main plane is perpendicular to the axis. longitudinal X.
- the ring 75 is movable in translation, parallel to said longitudinal axis X (according to the arrow), thanks to a shaft 76 integral with the ring 75.
- the ring 75 surrounds the wall formed by the flanges by exerting a constraint compression on these.
- the height adjustment of the ring 75 makes it possible to adjust the degree of inclination of the flanges.
- Figure 5 shows schematically two positions of the ring 75: a first "high" position, shown in solid lines, and a second "low” position shown in dashed lines.
- the flanges 64 are represented, also in solid lines in the case where the ring 75 is in the high position, and in dashed lines when the ring 75 is in the low position.
- Figure 5 clearly shows that the lowering of the ring 75 makes it possible to incline the flange towards the axis X, and thus to reduce the divergence of the flange with respect to this axis. It is also possible to move the ring 75 in its plane, so in a plane perpendicular to the X axis to print the flanges, and therefore the entire third part of the duct, a movement.
- the device of the invention has its axis X generally parallel to the axis of delivery of the fiber web.
- turbulence of the ambient air can affect the orientation of the web entering the device.
- the device of the invention with respect to the axis A, as schematically illustrated in Figure 4, to correct the orientation of the fiber veil due to the right-left suction inhomogeneity of the carpet 50.
- Figure 6 illustrates three curves as to the variation (in%) of the mass per unit area of a fiber mat compared to a nominal reference density (here of 848 g / m 2 ), depending on the width of the carpet of receiving (from 0 cm for the left edge of the carpet to 240 cm for the right edge of the carpet), the curves respectively corresponding to a reference configuration of a guide duct and two configuration variants of the device of the invention .
- a nominal reference density here of 848 g / m 2
- the pilot plant used to test the device of the invention delivers a fiber mat of 2400 mm wide.
- a gauge of grammage scans the width of the mattress over a given length of said mattress, to deduce an average weight.
- Several average weight estimates are made and are converted to weight values (weight per unit area). We deduce the illustrated curves.
- the angle of inclination of the flanges is 0 ° with respect to the axis X, that is to say that the diameter of the outlet 63 of the guide duct corresponds to the diameter of the flange. central portion 62, and the blowing system 41 was used.
- the coefficient of variation of the calculated surface density CV is equal to 25%.
- the angle of inclination of the flanges is 5 ° divergent with respect to the X axis and the blowing system 41 was used under the same conditions as for the curve C1.
- the coefficient of variation of the calculated surface density CV is equal to 23%.
- the angle of inclination of the flanges is divergent by 5 ° with respect to the axis X just as for the curve C2, on the other hand, the blowing system 41 has been modified with respect to the conditions of the curve C1 or C2, in particular by lowering the air pressure breath.
- the coefficient of variation of the calculated surface density CV is equal to 7%.
- the fibers are fewer (hollow with a variation up to 80%);
- the fiber web expands at the flared exit of the guide duct (divergence of 5 ° according to a variant of the invention). It can be seen that it was possible to compensate for the lack of fibers at the ends of the carpet, the coefficient being well above 100% with respect to the mentioned depressions of the curve C1, while nevertheless losing fibers in the middle of the carpet (coefficient one slightly lower than for C1). This configuration of the device of the invention nevertheless makes it possible to smooth the distribution of the fibers relative to the reference device relating to the curve C1. In addition, the coefficient of variation of surface mass increases in points from 25 to 23%.
- the decrease of the air pressure blown by the blowing system 41 according to the last configuration relating to the curve C3 makes it possible to further homogenize the distribution with respect to the curve C2, the curve C3 being substantially stable around 100%.
- the coefficient of variation of surface mass is even reduced to 7%.
- the device of the invention thus leads to a better distribution of the fibers.
- a blowing system of the prior art such as 41, it generates a lower consumption of compressed air.
