Definitions

  • the invention relates, on the one hand, to an ironing roll for an ironing device which is provided with a heatable chest, the ironing roll being provided with a casing, and the ironing roll comprising one or more reinforcement elements which are provided to be connected to the casing and which extend, once connected to this casing, within the casing, the aforementioned reinforcement elements being provided to be initially releasably connected to the casing and the aforementioned reinforcement elements being provided on their outer circumference with teeth and the aforementioned casing being provided with slots into which these teeth can be introduced.
  • the invention relates to an ironing device provided with an ironing roll with a casing and a heatable chest.
  • the existing ironing rolls which are used in an ironing device with a heatable chest have a cylindrical casing.
  • a first method for manufacturing an ironing roll of this type is in this case the round-centring of one flat plate with or without perforations having a maximum width of 2 metres, the side edges, which in this manner face one another, being completely welded to one another and a cylindrical tube being in this manner obtained. Since a complete working width of an ironing roll is normally between 3.3 and 4 metres (this is the usual working width of an ironing roll used in an ironing device with a heatable chest), two completely round-centred and welded plates of this type should be welded to each other, next to each other. If the plates have not yet been provided with perforations, the plates are perforated once they have been welded to each other. Reinforcements, which are welded to the plates, are present within the casing.
  • a method of this type has the further drawback that the welding-together of the side edges, which are located opposite one another after the round-centring of the plate, causes the ironing roll to warp and, as a consequence, it is possible to use only thick plates which are less sensitive to warping. If the plates are not provided with perforations, the perforations should be formed, after the tubes have been welded up and welded to one another, by means of machines which are specially designed for this purpose.
  • a second method consists in taking a round tube in accordance with standard dimensions, and in then providing the tube with perforations.
  • DE 11 56 755 B describes a method for manufacturing an ironing roll which, after manufacture, can be opened up in order to be able to access machine components located in the ironing roll for maintenance.
  • the ironing roll is in this case constructed from two segments of a circle which can be fastened to one another in four different ways.
  • an ironing roll obtained thereby is insufficiently rigid, in a relatively large design, in order to be able to be employed in contemporary industrial ironing devices.
  • DE 33 10 019 A1 describes a method for manufacturing an ironing roll wherein a multiplicity of resilient elements are fastened to support rings which together form the casing of the ironing roll.
  • Making the surface of the ironing roll flexible, in conjunction with the necessary rigidity of the roll, is very important for creating a uniform pressure on the items to be ironed and for maintaining this pressure even when the roll winding starts to wear.
  • an ironing roll as described in DE 33 10 019 A1 it is extremely difficult to obtain a good balance of rigidity versus flexibility of the ironing roll. Furthermore, this balance is, as a consequence of normal wear, less stable over time, so that the resilient elements frequently have to be replaced in order to ensure, again, a good balance.
  • the (dis)mounting of an ironing roll of this type is, in addition, also very laborious, since each of the resilient elements has to be separately attached to the support rings and secured thereto. An ironing roll of this type is therefore also very expensive.
  • US 1,715,053 A describes how an ironing roll can be manufactured by attaching separate bent wooden strips next to one another to support rings, the bent wooden strips together forming the casing of the ironing roll.
  • An ironing roll of this type with wooden strips is certainly not suitable to be employed in ironing devices provided with an ironing roll with a casing and a heatable chest. The wooden strips would warp and eventually rot. If the strips were made of metal, this ironing roll would become too heavy and thus much too expensive.
  • EP 0 711 861 A1 describes an ironing roll which can already be manufactured much less expensively than the above-described ironing rolls from the prior art.
  • the ironing roll is constructed from a multiplicity of circular strips which are attached to disc-shaped reinforcement elements, these reinforcement elements being securely welded to a central shaft. Resilient combs are attached between each of the strips.
  • the central carrying shaft in order to design the ironing roll from EP 0 711 861 A1 so as to be sufficiently rigid, the central carrying shaft must be designed so as to be heavy and is thus expensive. Furthermore, the attaching of the large number of circular strips with the resilient combs therebetween is also very time-consuming.
  • the object of the invention is, on the one hand, to provide a cylindrical ironing roll for an ironing device which is provided with a heatable chest, wherein the ironing roll can be manufactured in a less laborious, less time-consuming and less expensive manner, the rigidity of the ironing roll also being ensured in relatively large embodiments having a diameter of 0.3 m or more and a length of 1 m or more.
  • an ironing roll for an ironing device which is provided with a heatable chest
  • the ironing roll being provided with a casing
  • the ironing roll comprising one or more reinforcement elements which are provided to be connected to the casing and which extend, once connected to this casing, within the casing, the aforementioned reinforcement elements being provided to be initially releasably connected to the casing, the aforementioned reinforcement elements being provided on their outer circumference with teeth and the aforementioned casing being provided with slots into which these teeth can be introduced and the aforementioned reinforcement elements being provided on their outer circumference with first and second teeth, the second teeth having a height which is less than the height of the first teeth, and the second teeth being welded on in the corresponding slots of the aforementioned casing.
  • An ironing roll according to the invention no longer requires a heavy and thus expensive central shaft as in the ironing roll from EP 0 711 861 A1 .
  • the reinforcement elements such as is the case in the ironing roll from EP 0 711 861 A1 , either the ironing roll cannot be mounted simply and rapidly or the ironing roll cannot be designed so as to be sufficiently rigid without the heavy and expensive central shaft.
  • the teeth are designed so as to be sufficiently high to position the casing (which may be constructed from strips or partial casings) neatly with respect to the reinforcement elements in order to mount the reinforcement elements simply and rapidly, then, when welding these teeth on in the corresponding slots of the casing, the weld is, after wearing-away of the casing at the level of this weld, insufficiently strong in order to design the ironing roll so as to be sufficiently rigid without the central shaft. If, however, the teeth are designed so as to be lower in order to obtain sufficiently sturdy welds in order to design the ironing roll so as to be sufficiently rigid without the central shaft, then the casing cannot be positioned sufficiently neatly with respect to the reinforcement elements in order to be able to ensure simple and rapid mounting.
  • first and second teeth the first teeth being designed so as to be higher in order to position the casing neatly with respect to the reinforcement elements in order to be able to ensure simple and rapid mounting and the second teeth being designed so as to be lower in order to be able to ensure sturdy welds, the above-mentioned problems from the prior art are remedied.
  • an ironing roll is obtained for an ironing device with a heatable chest that can be manufactured from a thinner material, without that requiring a heavy central shaft, and that is less time-consuming to manufacture, as a result of which an ironing roll of this type can be manufactured in an economically more advantageous manner.
  • the casing of the ironing roll consists of two or more partial casings which are provided to be initially releasably connected to the aforementioned reinforcement elements.
  • the ironing roll comprises at least two reinforcement elements which are provided to be initially releasably connected at the two ends of the ironing roll to the aforementioned casing or the aforementioned partial casings.
  • the aforementioned first and/or second reinforcement element is provided for attaching a bearing arrangement in such a way that the ironing roll can be rotatably arranged in the ironing device.
  • the ironing roll comprises one or more intermediate reinforcement elements which are provided to be initially releasably connected between the ends of the ironing roll to the aforementioned casing or the aforementioned partial casings.
  • the aforementioned reinforcement elements are initially releasably connected to the aforementioned casing or the aforementioned partial casings by means of a releasable snap connection.
  • the aforementioned releasable snap connection between the aforementioned casing or the aforementioned partial casings and a reinforcement element is produced by providing the two ends of the casing or of the aforementioned partial casings, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the ironing roll, with a down folded edge in which a recess is formed that is designed in such a way that the respective reinforcement element can be at least partially introduced into this recess.
  • the aforementioned releasable snap connection between the aforementioned casing or the aforementioned partial casings and a reinforcement element is produced by providing the two ends of the casing or of each of the aforementioned partial casings, which extend in the longitudinal direction of the ironing roll, with a down folded edge and by providing the respective reinforcement element with one or more recesses into which the aforementioned down folded edge can be at least partially introduced.
  • the aforementioned reinforcement elements are designed as annular discs which, after mounting, are in contact over substantially their entire outer circumference with the aforementioned casing or the aforementioned partial casings.
  • the aforementioned casing or the aforementioned partial casings are designed as perforated and plate-shaped elements which are curved in such a way that they surround the aforementioned annular discs.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide an ironing device which is provided with a heatable chest and a cylindrical ironing roll and can be manufactured in a less laborious, less time-consuming and less expensive manner.
  • This object of the invention is achieved by providing an ironing device, comprising a heatable chest, and an ironing roll according to the invention as described above.
  • a preferred embodiment of a cylindrical ironing roll (1) according to the invention consists of a casing which in this preferred embodiment is constructed from two partial casings (2a, 2b).
  • These partial casings (2a, 2b) consist in this case of curved plates, the curvature of these plates being designed in such a way that the ends (20a, 20b) of these plates, which extend in the longitudinal direction (A) of the ironing roll (1), substantially adjoin each other and thus form the complete casing of the cylindrical ironing roll (1).
  • These plates are in this case provided with perforations (21).
  • the ironing roll (1) is provided at the two ends (10) thereof, which are positioned transversely to the longitudinal direction (A) of the ironing roll (1), with reinforcement elements (3a, 3c) which are provided to be initially releasably connected to the partial casings (2a, 2b).
  • the aforementioned first and/or second reinforcement element (3a or 3c) is preferably provided for attaching a bearing arrangement in such a way that the ironing roll (1) can be rotatably arranged in the ironing device.
  • intermediate reinforcement elements (3b) which are positioned transversely to the longitudinal direction of the ironing roll (1), are provided between these two ends (10). These intermediate reinforcement elements (3b) are also provided to releasably connect the partial casings (2a, 2b) to these intermediate reinforcement elements (3b). The number of intermediate reinforcement elements (3b) is in this case dependent on the length of the ironing roll (1).
  • the casing/the partial casings preferably have a thickness of between 2 and 5 mm.
  • the initially releasable connection between the casing or the partial casings (2a, 2b) and the reinforcement elements (3a, 3b, 3c) is preferably an initially releasable snap connection.
