  • the shows WO 2008 / 105005A1 a steel-made drying roll of similar construction in which lids are welded to the ends of a cylinder jacket by means of a circumferential weld formed between opposed surfaces of each of the lids and the cylinder jacket.
  • the weld consists of a recess of U-shaped cross-section open towards the outer surface of the cylinder jacket, which is formed by respective recesses between a respective end of the cylinder jacket and one of the lids and filled by welding material, on the inner surface of the cylinder jacket at the level of the recess a counter-bead is provided.
  • the invention is based on the common inventive basic idea to ensure the quality of the weld between the cylinder jacket and cover by a suitable design of the cylinder jacket and the lid in the vicinity of the weld.
  • a drying roller at least consist of a cylindrical cylinder jacket, two attached on both sides of the cylinder jacket covers and two indirectly via a hollow shaft connected to the lids or directly attached to the lids pin, wherein the cylinder jacket and the lid are welded together by an annular weld , and wherein the weld seam has a joint with at least two mutually opposite and spaced parallel flank regions.
  • the weld has a joint with at least two parallel and oppositely disposed parallel flank regions, or in other words a joint with a land and a land pitch, beads forming a root pass of the weld can reliably also be from the outside be welded. In this way, the quality of the weld formed can be improved and their overall reliability can be increased. Thus, it is thereby possible to provide dry rollers with reliable welds and to provide methods for their production.
  • Such a drying roller can be set up for various uses during papermaking or for drying various types of paper.
  • the drying roller may in particular be a so-called Yankee roller, which is provided for drying so-called tissue papers or tissue papers or soft papers.
  • so-called MG-rolls machine glazed
  • the drying roller can be used in the production of cardboard papers or graphic papers.
  • Yankee rolls and MG rolls have two spigots attached indirectly via a hollow shaft connected to the covers, while dry rolls for producing cardboard papers or graphic papers often have spigots directly attached to the covers.
  • the material to be dried such as paper or paperboard
  • the material to be dried usually has direct contact with the outer surface of the cylinder jacket, which may at least partially have a smooth surface on the inner side or at least in sections may be provided with one or more grooves may also be provided in bead-like thickening to counteract stresses that may act on the drying roller of outer pressure rollers or cylinders.
  • the cover of the drying roller may be disc-shaped.
  • at least one of the lids may be a flat disk.
  • at least one of the lids may also have a curved shape, for example similar to a dished bottom or basket bottom, or be formed with a semi-elliptical cross section.
  • the hollow shaft may be provided for mounting the drying roller, wherein it reduces a force acting on the cylinder jacket or the cover voltage.
  • the hollow shaft is of cylindrical shape with flat or conical end portions. It may be integral or multi-piece with two or more interconnected, for example, welded, soldered, bolted, locked or formed by bolt segments formed.
  • the hollow shaft is formed integrally with the pins.
  • the pins are usually used in corresponding bearings or bearing housings, which support the entire arrangement of the drying roller and allow a rotational movement of the drying roller.
  • components of the drying roller of different materials and in particular of metals such as steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, cast steel or cast iron can be made.
  • the weld is welded without counter-bead, whereby the process reliability in the production of the weld improves because the weld is made particularly simple.
  • a drying roller may consist of at least one cylindrical cylinder jacket, two lids attached on both sides of the cylinder jacket, and two indirectly via a hollow shaft connected to the lids or pins secured directly to the lids, wherein the cylinder jacket and the lids are welded together by an annular weld , wherein the radially inner workpiece surfaces of both the lid and the cylinder jacket are cylindrical on both sides of the weld and wherein in at least one cover a closable or closed inspection opening is provided.
  • the inspection opening may be identical to a hole for the hollow shaft or the pins.
  • a further opening for the hollow shaft or the pins may be provided in addition to the inspection opening.
  • the inspection opening can be designed as a manhole.
  • the drying roller can consist of at least one cylindrical cylinder jacket, two lids attached to both sides of the cylinder jacket, and two indirectly via a hollow shaft connected to the lids or pins secured directly to the lids, wherein the cylinder jacket and the lids are welded together by an annular weld , wherein the radially inner workpiece surface of the cylinder jacket between a condenser and the weld seam is cylindrical.
  • the weld of such a trained drying roller can be tested by means of X-rays, ultrasound, penetration tests in the form of dye penetration and / or, but not limited thereto, by magnetic particles.
  • the capacitor has one, preferably a plurality, circumferential grooves.
  • a machined transition radius and / or a transitional groove preferably with at least one machined transition radius between groove flank of the transition groove and groove base of the transition groove, is provided between the cylindrical inner workpiece surface of the cylinder jacket and the condenser.
  • the transition radius and / or the transition groove can be made in particular by means of milling or turning.
  • a distance between the respective lid to be welded and the cylinder jacket via at least one spacer can be defined before welding the lid with the cylinder jacket to this Way to provide a reliable weld.
  • this method makes it possible to produce a drying roller with a circumferential weld seam between the cylinder jacket and the cover, which has a joint with at least two parallel flank regions lying opposite one another and being spaced apart from one another.
  • the lid to be welded in each case and the cylinder jacket are first tacked to one another via a tack weld and subsequently welded to one another only via weld beads.
  • the tack weld allows pre-fixing of the cover to the cylinder jacket, before it comes to the final connection by welding over weld beads. Inaccuracies in the positioning of the lid can be corrected in this way before the final welding.
  • the spacer can be a spacer ring, which ensures a constant equal distance between the cover and the cylinder jacket along the circumference of the drying roller.
  • ring segments or separate spacers with a defined width can alternatively be used.
  • a drying roller at least consisting of a cylindrical cylinder jacket, two on both sides of the cylinder jacket attached lids and two indirectly via a hollow shaft connected to the lids or directly attached to the lids pin, wherein the cylinder jacket and the lid by a annular weld welded together, after welding the cover with the cylinder jacket, the weld through an inspection opening are checked from the inside.
