Description

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zum Streuen von pulverförmigen Produkten gemäss Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a device for spreading powdery products according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Auf bahnförmig hergestellten Warenbahnen, wie zum Beispiel textilen Warenbahnen, müssen für bestimmte Verwendungen der Warenbahnen oder die Veränderung von Eigenschaften derselben Pulver aufgetragen werden. Der Auftrag der Pulver muss dabei möglichst gleichmässig erfolgen. Aus dem Dokument DE 29617544U ist eine Pulverstreumaschine zum Auftrag eines Pulvers auf eine Warenbahn bekannt. Das Pulver wird mit einer rotierbaren Nadelwalze auf der Warenbahn dosiert verteilt. Eine Schwingbürste zur Abstreifung des Pulvers von der Warenbahn ist in einem Bürstengehäuse aufgenommen und kann mittels einer von einem Antriebsmotor betriebenen Antriebsstange relativ zum ruhenden Bürstengehäuse bewegt werden. Die JP H11 291227A offenbart ein Gerät sowie ein Verfahren zum Verteilen von Pulver oder Granulat P wie Sand, Metallpulver und dergleichen auf einer Zementplatte eines Gebäudes, auf einer Sperrholzplatte, MDF-Platte, und dergleichen. Um eine gleichmäßige Verteilung des Pulvers beziehungsweise Granulats zu erreichen, wird das Pulver/Granulat in einem oberen Tank gespeichert, von wo dieses durch die Schwerkraft bedingt auf natürliche Weise in einen sich an den oberen Tank anschließenden unteren Tank fällt, in welchem so die Menge des Pulvers oder Granulats konstant gehalten wird. Von dem unteren Tank fällt das Pulver oder Granulat sodann durch die Schwerkraft bedingt auf natürliche Weise auf die Verteilrolle. Zur Unterstützung des natürlichen Fallens des Pulvers oder Granulats ist dabei ein Rührwerk mit einer Stange und daran angebrachten Armen angebracht. Insbesondere aus Kosten- und/oder Qualitätsgründen muss exakt die vorbestimmte Menge aufgebracht werden. Diese Voraussetzungen zu erfüllen, ist nicht sehr einfach, da auf ein und derselben Vorrichtung Pulver mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften, Quantitäten und Qualitäten verarbeitet werden müssen. Insbesondere muss gewährleistet werden, dass Pulver, die zu Knollenbildung neigen, vor der Ausgabe homogenisiert sind und dass keine Pulverklumpen auf das Werkstück gelangen können. Bekannte Vorrichtungen sind oft nicht in der Lage, die gewünschte Gleichmässigkeit der Pulververteilung zu gewährleisten. Ein weiterer Nachteil der bekannten Vorrichtungen bestehtOn web-shaped webs, such as textile webs, for certain uses of the webs or the change of properties of the same powder must be applied. The order of the powder must be as uniform as possible. From the document DE 29617544U is a powder spreading machine for applying a powder on a web known. The powder is dispensed with a rotatable needle roller dosed on the web. A vibrating brush for stripping the powder from the web is received in a brush housing and can be moved relative to the stationary brush housing by means of a drive rod driven by a drive motor. The JP H11 291227A discloses an apparatus and a method for distributing powder or granules P such as sand, metal powder and the like on a cement board of a building, on a plywood board, MDF board, and the like. Around To achieve a uniform distribution of the powder or granules, the powder / granules is stored in an upper tank, from which this naturally falls by gravity into a subsequent to the upper tank lower tank, in which so the amount of the powder or granules is kept constant. From the lower tank, the powder or granules then fall naturally due to gravity on the Verteilrolle. In order to support the natural falling of the powder or granules while a stirrer with a rod and attached arms is attached. In particular, for cost and / or quality reasons exactly the predetermined amount must be applied. Fulfilling these requirements is not very easy, since powders with different properties, quantities and qualities have to be processed on one and the same device. In particular, it must be ensured that powders that tend to form tubers are homogenized before dispensing and that no lumps of powder can reach the workpiece. Known devices are often unable to provide the desired uniformity of powder distribution. Another disadvantage of the known devices consists

Anlagen innerhalb der Tanks unterschiedlich starken Drücken ausgesetzt. Dies bedeutet, dass das Pulver vor der Übertragung auf die Dosierwalze nicht gleichmässig homogenisiert ist.Installations within the tanks are subjected to different levels of pressure. This means that the powder is not evenly homogenized prior to transfer to the metering roll.

Eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit welcher Pulver mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften und unterschiedlichen Qualitäten derart aufbereitet werden kann, dass eine homogene Verteilung des Pulvers auf Warenbahnen erfolgt und dass weiter Pulver mit unterschiedlichen Eigenschaften in der gewünschten Menge auftragbar sind.An object of the present invention is to provide a device with which powders with different properties and different qualities can be processed in such a way that a homogeneous distribution of the powder takes place on webs and that further powders with different properties in the desired amount can be applied.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung gemäss den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Vorrichtung sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen umschrieben.This object is achieved by a device according to the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments of the device are described in the dependent claims.

Durch eine Homogenisierung des aus einem Speise- und Vorratstank ausfliessenden Pulvers unmittelbar vor dessen Übertragung auf eine Dosierwalze, weisen die zur Dosierwalze gelangenden Pulverteilchen eine homogene Siebkurve auf und allenfalls vorhandene Pulverklumpen ausgeschieden werden können. Das Pulverniveau ist in allen Zonen der Dosiertanks immer gleich, unabhängig vom Pulverniveau in Speise- und Vorratstank. Mit anderen Worten, die Pulverhomogenisierung unmittelbar vor Dosierung auf die Dosierwalzen gewährleistet Homogenität und Dichte und folglich eine wesentliche Erhöhung der Sicherheit eines optimalen Pulverübertrags.
Durch das Aufteilen des aus dem Speise- und Vorratstank austretenden Pulvers auf zwei oder mehrere parallel angeordnete Dosierwalzen wird einerseits erreicht, dass, statistisch gesehen, eine höhere Gleichmässigkeit der Siebkurve und beim Auftrag auf das Werkstück erfolgt. Ausserdem kann eine Aufteilung des Pulvers auf zwei oder mehrere Dosierwalzen, die in der Horizontalen versetzt zur Ausgabeöffnung am Speisetank liegen, erfolgen und ermöglicht eine gute Zugänglichkeit der Dosierwalzen sowie der Dosiertanks. An den Dosiertanks können Deckel angelenkt sein, die den direkten Zugriff auf deren Inneres ermöglichen und insbesondere auf den Bereich, in welchem das Pulver aus den Dosiertanks auf die Dosierwalzen übertragen wird. Diese Anordnung der einzelnen Elemente der Vorrichtung ermöglicht durch eine optimale Zugänglichkeit eine einfache Wartung und Reinigung sowie einen schnellen Austausch bei Bedarf. Die Beladung und Nachfüllung des Vorratstanks ist einfach und von oben möglich. Öffnungen für die Speise- und Vorratstank-Nachfüllung sind in der Horizontalen versetzt zur Ausgabeöffnung am Speisetank liegend, und hat eine minimale Auswirkung auf die Gleichmässigkeit der Pulverzuführung an der Ausgabeöffnung. Durch eine Vibration der Wände des Vorratstanks gleitet das Pulver einwandfrei nach unten zur Ausgabeöffnung. Gleiches trifft auch zu durch das Einleiten von feinst verteilter Luft in die Dosiertanks. Das Definieren des optimalen Arbeitsbereichs erfolgt durch die Position von Schiebern zwischen der Ausgabeöffnung und dem Homogenisierer. Das Einstellen ist einfach und effizient im Vergleich zu den im Speise- und Vorratstank von bekannten Vorrichtungen.By homogenizing the powder flowing out of a feed and storage tank immediately before it is transferred to a metering roll, the powder particles reaching the metering roll have a homogeneous sieve curve and possibly any powder lumps present can be eliminated. The powder level is always the same in all zones of the dosing tanks, regardless of the powder level in the feed and storage tank. In other words, the powder homogenization immediately before Dosing on the metering rollers ensures homogeneity and density and consequently a substantial increase in the safety of an optimal powder transfer.
By dividing the emerging from the feed and storage tank powder on two or more parallel metering rollers on the one hand ensures that, statistically speaking, a higher uniformity of the screen curve and the job is carried out on the workpiece. In addition, a division of the powder on two or more metering rollers, which are offset in the horizontal to the discharge opening on the feed tank, take place, and allows good accessibility of the metering rollers and the metering tanks. Lids can be hinged to the dosing tanks, which allow direct access to their interior, and in particular to the area in which the powder is transferred from the dosing tanks to the dosing rollers. This arrangement of the individual elements of the device allows optimal accessibility easy maintenance and cleaning and a quick replacement if necessary. The loading and refilling of the storage tank is simple and possible from the top. Feed and storage tank refill openings are offset horizontally from the dispensing opening on the feed tank and have a minimal effect on the uniformity of the powder feed at the dispensing opening. By a vibration of the walls of the storage tank, the powder slides perfectly down to the discharge opening. The same applies to the introduction of finely divided air in the metering tanks. The definition of the optimum working range is made by the position of sliders between the discharge opening and the homogenizer. Adjustment is simple and efficient compared to those in the feed and storage tank of known devices.

Mit Bezugszeichen 1 ist eine Vorrichtung zum Streuen von pulverförmigen Produkten auf beispielsweise eine textile Warenbahn (Werkstück 39) bezeichnet. Diese Vorrichtung 1 ist in einem Gehäuse 3 eingesetzt, welches durch beispielsweise vier Profilrohre 5 und Wände 4 begrenzt wird. Die Profilrohre 5 tragen einen im Querschnitt V-förmigen Speise- und Vorratstank 7 für die Aufnahme von pulverförmigen Produkten, wie zum Beispiel Klebstoffgranulat, medizinischer Puder oder saugfähiges Granulat, Zement, Bentonit oder andere pulverförmige Produkte. Am unteren Ende des Speise- und Vorratstanks 7 ist eine Ausgabeöffnung 9 ausgebildet, durch welche das im Speise- und Vorratstank 7 befindliche Pulver 11 unter der Wirkung der Schwerkraft austreten kann. Vorzugsweise ist mindestens an einer der beiden Seitenwände 13 zusätzlich ein Vibrator 15 befestigt, um die mindestens eine Seitenwand 13 in Schwingung zu versetzen, damit das im Speise- und Vorratstank 7 befindliche Pulver 11 beim Nach-unten-Gleiten begünstigt wird.Reference numeral 1 designates an apparatus for spreading pulverulent products onto, for example, a textile material web (workpiece 39). This device 1 is inserted in a housing 3, which is bounded by, for example, four profile tubes 5 and walls 4. The profile tubes 5 carry a cross-sectionally V-shaped feed and storage tank 7 for receiving powdered products, such as adhesive granules, medical powder or absorbent Granules, cement, bentonite or other powdered products. At the lower end of the supply and storage tank 7, a discharge opening 9 is formed, through which the powder 11 located in the supply and storage tank 7 can escape under the action of gravity. Preferably, a vibrator 15 is additionally attached to at least one of the two side walls 13 in order to vibrate the at least one side wall 13, so that the powder 11 located in the supply and storage tank 7 is promoted during the downward sliding.

Unterhalb der Ausgabeöffnung 9 ist ein Homogenisierer 17 angeordnet, zum Beispiel ein Sieb oder ein Lochblech, das durch geeignete Mittel in Schwingung versetzt das austretende Pulver nach unten austreten lässt und mit welchem allfällig verklumptes Pulver oder zu grosse Pulverteile zurückgehalten und ausgeschieden werden können.Below the dispensing opening 9, a homogenizer 17 is arranged, for example, a sieve or a perforated plate, which causes by appropriate means in vibration exiting the exiting powder down and with which any clumped powder or too large powder parts can be retained and excreted.

Zwischen Ausgabeöffnung 9 und dem Homogenisierer 17 können Schiebebleche 45 angeordnet sein. Diese erlauben es, auf einfache Weise in unterschiedlichen Positionen die Weite (Breite) oder Grösse der Ausgabeöffnung 9 und damit den Arbeitsbereich der Vorrichtung zu bestimmen.Between the discharge opening 9 and the homogenizer 17 sliding plates 45 may be arranged. These allow the width (width) or size of the discharge opening 9 and thus the working range of the device to be determined in a simple manner in different positions.

Unterhalb des Homogenisierers 17 liegt in der Ausgestaltung der Erfindung mit zwei oder mehreren Dosierwalzen 19 ein Keil 21 oder mehrere Keile 21, welche den Pulverstrom auf zwei oder mehrere Dosierwalzen 19 umlenken. Die beiden Schenkelflächen 23 des Keils oder der Keile 21 bilden den Boden von darüber angeordneten Dosiertanks 25.Below the homogenizer 17 is in the embodiment of the invention with two or more metering rollers 19, a wedge 21 or more wedges 21, which deflect the powder flow to two or more metering rollers 19. The two leg surfaces 23 of the wedge or the Wedges 21 form the bottom of metering tanks 25 disposed above.

In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der Keil 21 oder sind die Keile 21 aus einem porösen Material, z.B. einem gesintertes Material hergestellt, durch welches Pressluft in das Pulver 11 in den Dosiertank 25 eingeleitet werden kann. Durch die eingeleitete Luft (air) wird durch die Fluidisierung des Pulvers 11 das Gleiten das Gleiten desselben auf den Schenkelflächen 23 des Keils 21 wesentlich begünstigt. Die unteren Kanten der Schenkelflächen 23 liegen in geringem Abstand zu den Oberflächen der beiden Dosierwalzen 19.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the wedge 21 or wedges 21 are made of a porous material, e.g. a sintered material prepared by which compressed air can be introduced into the powder 11 in the dosing tank 25. By the introduction of air (air), the fluidization of the powder 11, the sliding of the same sliding substantially on the leg surfaces 23 of the wedge 21. The lower edges of the leg surfaces 23 are located at a small distance from the surfaces of the two metering rollers 19th

Die Dosierwalzen 19 sind horizontal relativ zur Ausgabeöffnung 9 verschiebbar. Dies ermöglicht ein stabiles Pulverniveau über den Dosierwalzen 19 im Dosiertank 25 und dadurch eine hohe Homogenität der Pulververteilung.The metering rollers 19 are horizontally displaceable relative to the discharge opening 9. This allows a stable level of powder over the metering rollers 19 in the metering tank 25 and thus a high homogeneity of the powder distribution.

Im Wesentlichen spiegelbildlich zu den Schenkelflächen 23 des Keils 21 sind Seitenwände 27 der Dosiertanks 25 ausgebildet. Die Seitenwände 27 sind an den unten liegenden Profilrohren 5 befestigt. Ebenfalls an den unten liegenden Profilrohren 5 sind sogenannt schwimmende Rakel 29 befestigt, mit welchen in bekannter Weise das von oben aus den beiden Dosiertanks 25 zufliessende Pulver 11 auf die Oberflächen der Dosierwalzen 19 übertragen wird. Die Rakel 29, die am Rahmen der Vorrichtung 1, das heisst den Rohren 5 befestigt sind, werden von einer Mehrzahl von elastischen Elementen 44 gehalten (Fig. 2). Diese flexible Befestigung der Rakel 29 ermöglicht einen konstanten gleichmässigen Kontakt bzw. eine gleichmässige Anpresskraft in axialer Richtung mit der Dosierwalze 19. Dies ist wichtig, denn die Länge der Dosierwalzen 19 kann 3000 bis 8000 mm betragen und folglich ist mit einem beträchtlichen Durchhang bzw. einer beträchtlichen Deformation der Dosierwalzen 19 zu rechnen. Die Rakel 29 können, falls nötig, beispielsweise zusätzlich mit pneumatisch betriebenen Mitteln, z.B. einem Schlauch, mehr oder weniger stark an die Oberflächen der Dosierwalzen 19 angepresst werden.Essentially mirror images of the leg surfaces 23 of the wedge 21 side walls 27 of the metering tanks 25 are formed. The side walls 27 are attached to the underlying profile tubes 5. Also on the underlying profile tubes 5 so-called floating doctor blade 29 are fixed, with which in a known manner the flowing from above from the two metering tanks 25 powder 11 is transferred to the surfaces of the metering rollers 19. The squeegee 29, which are attached to the frame of the device 1, that is, the tubes 5 are of a plurality of elastic elements 44 held ( Fig. 2 ). This flexible attachment of the doctor blade 29 allows a constant uniform contact or a uniform contact force in the axial direction with the metering roller 19. This is important, because the length of the metering rollers 19 may be 3000 to 8000 mm and thus is with a considerable sag or a considerable deformation of the metering rollers 19 to be expected. The doctor blade 29 can, if necessary, for example, in addition to pneumatically operated means, such as a hose, more or less strongly pressed against the surfaces of the metering rollers 19.

Zur gelegentlichen Reinigung der Oberflächen der Dosierwalzen 19 sind weiter an den Profilrohren 5 Ausputzvorrichtungen 31 angeordnet. Deren Aufbau wird nicht näher erläutert.For occasional cleaning of the surfaces of the metering rollers 19 5 Ausputzvorrichtungen 31 are further arranged on the profile tubes. Their structure will not be explained.

Die beiden Dosiertanks 25 sind oben durch Deckel 33 verschliessbar. Die Deckel 33 sind an Profilrohren 35 befestigt, welche die Seitenwände 13 des Speise- und Vorratstanks 7 tragen.The two metering tanks 25 are closed at the top by cover 33. The lid 33 are attached to profile tubes 35, which carry the side walls 13 of the supply and storage tank 7.

Nachfolgend wird die Funktionsweise der Vorrichtung 1 näher erläutert. Durch eine Öffnung 37 an der Oberseite des Speise- und Vorratstanks 7 wird das benötigte und auf die Applikation angepasste Pulver 11 in den Speise- und Vorratstank 7 eingefüllt. Diese Öffnungen 37 sind seitlich des Speise- und Vorratstanks 7 angeordnet. Dadurch hat das Nachfüllen des Speise- und Vorratstanks 7 bei laufendem Betrieb nur einen minimalen Einfluss auf die Pulverbewegung durch die Ausgabeöffnung 9. Auf gleiche Weise erfolgt das Nachfüllen während des Betriebs der Vorrichtung 1. Das Nachfüllen kann manuell oder über ein Rohrsystem 43 automatisch erfolgen. Begünstigt durch die Vibrationen, erzeugt durch den mindestens einen Vibrator 15, gleitet das Pulver 11 entlang den Seitenwänden 13 zur Ausgabeöffnung 9 im Vorratstank 7 und von dort in den Homogenisierer 17 beziehungsweise auf das Sieb des Homogenisierers 17. Die effektive Arbeitsbreite des Pulverauslassens kann durch die Position des oder der Schiebebleche 45 eingestellt werden. Das Verschieben der Schiebebleche 45 ist einfach und folglich auch das Einstellen der Arbeitsbreite bzw. der Breite des Pulveraustrags. Der Keil 21 der direkt unterhalb des Homogenisierers 17 angeordnet ist, teilt den Pulverstrom in zwei oder mehrere Richtungen. Diese Pulverströme füllen nun die Dosiertanks 25. Um auch hier den Abfluss des Pulvers 11 zu begünstigen, kann Luft zur Fluidisierung durch den Keil 21 beziehungsweise durch dessen Schenkelflächen 23 in das Pulver 11 eingeblasen werden. Das durch die Schwerkraft nach unten fliessende Pulver in den Dosiertanks 25 gelangt auf die Oberflächen der beiden Dosierwalzen 19 und wird durch die Rakeln 29 gleichmässig verteilt. In bekannter Weise führen die beiden Dosierwalzen 19 nun das Pulver 11 vom Scheitel der Dosierwalzen 19, wo das Pulver 11 zugeführt wird, in deren seitlich des Scheitels liegenden Bereich, von wo das Pulver 11 in freiem Fall auf ein Werkstück 39, z.B. auf eine textile Warenbahn fällt. Das Werkstück 39 wird durch geeignete Transportmittel, z.B. ein Transportband (nicht dargestellt) in Richtung des Pfeils P unter den beiden Dosierwalzen 19 vorbeigeführt.The mode of operation of the device 1 will be explained in more detail below. Through an opening 37 at the top of the feed and storage tank 7, the required and adapted to the application powder 11 is introduced into the feed and storage tank 7. These openings 37 are arranged laterally of the feed and storage tank 7. This has it Refilling the feed and storage tank 7 during operation only a minimal effect on the powder movement through the discharge opening 9. In the same way refilling occurs during operation of the device 1. The refilling can be done manually or via a pipe system 43 automatically. Favored by the vibrations generated by the at least one vibrator 15, the powder 11 slides along the side walls 13 to the discharge opening 9 in the storage tank 7 and from there into the homogenizer 17 and on the sieve of the homogenizer 17. The effective working width of the powder outlet can through the Position of the sliding plate 45 or be adjusted. The displacement of the sliding plate 45 is simple and consequently also the setting of the working width and the width of the Pulveraustrags. The wedge 21, which is located directly below the homogenizer 17, divides the powder flow in two or more directions. These powder streams now fill the metering tanks 25. In order to favor the outflow of the powder 11 here as well, air can be injected into the powder 11 for fluidization through the wedge 21 or through its leg surfaces 23. The gravitationally flowing down powder in the dosing tank 25 reaches the surfaces of the two metering rollers 19 and is evenly distributed by the doctor blades 29. In a known manner, the two metering rollers 19 now lead the powder 11 from the vertex of Dosing rollers 19, where the powder 11 is supplied, in the side of the apex lying region from where the powder 11 falls in a free fall on a workpiece 39, for example on a textile web. The workpiece 39 is guided by suitable means of transport, for example a conveyor belt (not shown) in the direction of the arrow P under the two metering rollers 19.

Die aufzutragende Menge von Pulver 11 pro Flächeneinheit des Werkstücks 39 kann einerseits durch die Drehzahl der Dosierwalzen 19 und/oder die Spaltbreite der Rakel 29 und/oder die Fördergeschwindigkeit des Werkstücks 39 eingestellt und verstellt werden.The amount of powder 11 to be applied per unit area of the workpiece 39 can be adjusted and adjusted on the one hand by the rotational speed of the metering rollers 19 and / or the gap width of the doctor blade 29 and / or the conveying speed of the workpiece 39.

Aus der Figur 1 ist gut ersichtlich, dass der Speise- und Vorratstank 7 während des Betriebs von oben nachfüllbar ist und andererseits auch eine Kontrolle und falls notwendig eine Störungsbehebung des Pulverflusses in den Dosiertanks 25 durch die Deckel 33 ohne weiteres möglich ist, ohne dass Teile der Vorrichtung 1 entfernt werden müssen. Zusätzlich sind die Rakel 29 sowie die Ausputzvorrichtungen 31 gut zugänglich, da sie einzig von z.B. magnetisch befestigten Falschluftplanen 41 abgedeckt sind. Die Vorrichtung 1 ist als eine in sich geschlossene Einheit ausgebildet und kann als solche an geeigneter Stelle einer Produktionsanlage eingesetzt werden.From the FIG. 1 As can be readily seen, the feed and storage tank 7 is refillable from above during operation and, on the other hand, control and, if necessary, troubleshooting of powder flow in the dosing tanks 25 through the covers 33 is readily possible without removing parts of the apparatus 1 Need to become. In addition, the squeegee 29 and the Ausputzvorrichtungen 31 are easily accessible, as they are covered only by, for example, magnetically attached false air covers 41. The device 1 is designed as a self-contained unit and can be used as such at a suitable location of a production plant.
