Description

TECHNISCHES GEBIETTECHNICAL AREA

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Befestigen und Einstellen eines Kardierträgers einer vliesbildenden Maschine.The invention relates to a device for fastening and adjusting a card carrier of a web-forming machine.

STAND DER TECHNIKSTATE OF THE ART

Bereits die erste Baumwolldeckelkarde von Arkwright verwendete feststehende Deckel. Aber erst die Arbeiten von John D. Hollingsworth führten auch zu einer weiten Verbreitung von feststehenden Deckeln in der Vliesstoffindustrie. Die feststehenden Deckel sind dabei wie folgt aufgebaut. Entweder sind die Kardierelemente wie Stifte oder Sägezahndraht direkt in einem Halter und der Halter ist an dem Gestell, den Seitenschildern oder Bögen der Karde angebracht oder die Kardierelemente sind zum Auswechseln lösbar in Halterungen angebracht und diese wiederum an dem Halter, der unmittelbar an dem Gestell oder Schildern angebracht ist.Already Arkwright's first cotton cover card used fixed covers. But it was the work of John D. Hollingsworth that led to the widespread adoption of fixed covers in the nonwovens industry. The fixed covers are constructed as follows. Either the carding elements such as pins or sawtooth wire are directly in a holder and the holder is attached to the frame, the side plates or bows of the card or the carding elements are detachably mounted in brackets for replacement and this in turn to the holder, directly to the frame or Signs attached.

Die Figur 2 der DE 33 36 602 A1 , die Figuren 2 und 3 der DE 20 2006 020 884 U1 , die Figur 2 der EP 04 31 482 A1 , die GB 2 467 851 A und die WO 2007/038891 A1 verdeutlichen den Stand der Technik. Die Vorrichtungen bestehen lediglich aus zwei Hauptteilen. Die Kardierspalteinstellung erfolgt nur an den beiden Enden. Auch bei der FR 2 881 440 A1 , welche die Grundlage für die zweiteilige Schreibweise von Anspruch 1 ist, erfolgt eine Einstellung des Kardierspalts lediglich an Stirnelementen eines Kardierelementträgers.The FIG. 2 of the DE 33 36 602 A1 , the Figures 2 and 3 of the DE 20 2006 020 884 U1 , the FIG. 2 of the EP 04 31 482 A1 , the GB 2 467 851 A and the WO 2007/038891 A1 illustrate the state of the art. The devices consist of only two main parts. The Kardierspalteinstellung takes place only at the two ends. Also at the FR 2 881 440 A1 which is the basis for the two-part notation of claim 1, an adjustment of the carding takes place only on end elements of Kardierelementträgers.

DARSTELLUNG DER ERFINDUNGPRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

Die Erfindung ist im unabhängigen Anspruch 1 definiert sowie bevorzugte Ausführungsformen in den abhängigen Ansprüchen.The invention is defined in independent claim 1 and preferred embodiments in the dependent claims.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine einfach zu fertigende Vorrichtung zu schaffen, die es erlaubt, die Kardiersegmente für große Arbeitsbreiten zu verwenden und den Kardierspalt über die Arbeitsbreite einzustellen. Erfindungsgemäß geschieht dies unter anderem durch den Aufbau mit 3 Basiselementen:

  1. 1. einem auswechselbaren Kardierstreifen
  2. 2. einem Zwischenträger und
  3. 3. einem Hauptträger
The object of the invention is to provide an easy-to-manufacture device which allows to use the carding segments for large working widths and to adjust the carding gap over the working width. According to the invention, this is done inter alia by the structure with 3 basic elements:
  1. 1. a removable carding strip
  2. 2. an intermediate carrier and
  3. 3. a main carrier

Die Kardierstreifen sind in dem Zwischenträger befestigt, der Zwischenträger ist einstellbar an dem Hauptträger befestigt und der Hauptträger ist an dem Kardengestell, Bogen oder Schild befestigt. Es gibt über die Arbeitsbreite mehr als zwei Einstellmöglichkeiten des Zwischenträgers zu dem Hauptträger.The carding strips are secured in the intermediate carrier, the intermediate carrier is adjustably secured to the main carrier and the main carrier is attached to the card rack, sheet or shield. There are over the working width more than two settings of the intermediate carrier to the main carrier.

Der Zwischenträger hat eine deutlich geringere Biegefestigkeit als der Hauptträger. Der Hauptträger ist vorzugsweise aus Stahl gefertigt, während der Zwischenträger vorzugsweise aus Aluminium bzw. einer Aluminiumlegierung besteht. Es können aber auch für beide Träger Verbundwerkstoffe eingesetzt werden.The intermediate carrier has a significantly lower bending strength than the main carrier. The main carrier is preferably made of steel, while the intermediate carrier is preferably made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy. But it can also be used for both carriers composites.

Die Einstellfunktion ist am einfachsten durch ein Stellschrauben-/Federsystem zu verwirklichen. Es können auch mehrere Kardierstreifen auf einem Zwischenträger befestigt werden.The adjustment function is easiest to realize by a set screw / spring system. Several carding strips can also be fastened on an intermediate carrier.

Verbinden zwei Reihen von Einstellelementen den Hauptträger mit dem Zwischenträger kann nicht nur der Kardierspalt, sondern auch eine Schrägstellung des Zwischenträgers und der Kardierelemente zur Kardiertrommelumlauftangente eingestellt werden. Mit anderen Worten sind die zwei Reihen von einstellbaren Befestigungselementen bzw. Einstellelementen hintereinander und quer in Bezug zur Kardiertrommelumlauftangente angeordnet. Wird eine Reihe von Stellelementen stärker verstellt als eine neben ihr angeordnete zweite Reihe, kommt es zu einem Kippen bzw. Drehen des Zwischenträgers um seine Längsachse und damit zu einem Kippen der Kardierelemente.Connecting two rows of adjusting elements, the main carrier with the intermediate carrier, not only the carding gap but also an inclination of the intermediate carrier and the carding elements can be adjusted to the carding drum circulating tangent become. In other words, the two rows of adjustable fasteners are arranged one behind the other and transversely with respect to the carded drum circulating tangent. If a number of control elements are adjusted more than a second row arranged next to it, tilting or rotation of the intermediate carrier about its longitudinal axis and thus tilting of the carding elements occurs.

In jedem Fall lässt sich über das Verstellen der Kardierelemente mit Hilfe der Einstellelemente die Dicke des mit den Kardierelementen hergestellten Vlieses einstellen, sodass sowohl ein Vlies mit konstanter als auch mit veränderlicher Dicke hergestellt werden kann.In any case, the adjustment of the carding elements with the aid of the adjusting elements can be used to adjust the thickness of the nonwoven fabric produced with the carding elements, so that it is possible to produce a nonwoven with a constant as well as a variable thickness.

KURZE BESCHREIBUNG DER FIGURENBRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES

Die Figuren 1 und 2 erläutern beispielhaft die Erfindung anhand einer Darstellung einer Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen einstellbaren Kardierträgers.The Figures 1 and 2 exemplify the invention with reference to an illustration of an embodiment of an adjustable Kardierträgers invention.

BESCHREIBUNG BEVORZUGTER AUSFÜHRUNGSFORMEN DER ERFINDUNGDESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION

Ein Kardengestell 1 trägt eine Walze bzw. einen Kardierzylinder 2. Zwischen diesem und den Kardierelementen 8 werden Fasern kardiert. Die Kardierelemente sind an einem Zwischenträger 7 befestigt. Der Zwischenträger ist zu einem Hauptträger 4 einstellbar befestigt. Der Hauptträger ist mittels Befestigungselementen 5 an den Bögen oder Schildern 3 der Karde 1 fixiert.A carding frame 1 carries a roller or a carding cylinder 2. Between this and the carding 8 fibers are carded. The carding elements are attached to an intermediate carrier 7. The intermediate carrier is attached to a main carrier 4 adjustable. The main carrier is fixed by means of fastening elements 5 on the sheets or plates 3 of the card 1.

Zum Einstellen des Kardierspaltes zwischen der Walze bzw. Trommel 2 und dem Kardierstreifen 8 kann z.B. eine Mutter 10, die in das Gewinde einer Gewindestange 6 greift, betätigt werden. Eine Feder 9 erspart die Verwendung einer Gegenmutter und erleichtert die Einstellbarkeit. Es werden mehrere Einstellelemente über die Arbeitsbreite der Walze 2 zum genauen Einstellen verwendet. Eine Durchbiegung des Trägers kann somit kompensiert werden.To set the carding gap between the roller or drum 2 and the carding strip 8, for example, a nut 10, which engages in the thread of a threaded rod 6, are actuated. A spring 9 saves the use of a locknut and facilitates adjustability. There are several adjustment over the working width of the roller 2 for exact setting used. A deflection of the carrier can thus be compensated.
