Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clothing wire for a roller of a carding machine.
  • a fiber web can be produced from a fiber material by the carding process.
  • the fiber pile consists of a loose composite of ordered individual fibers.
  • a fleece for example, can be produced from such a fiber web.
  • the fiber web is created during carding by removing the fibers from a large clothing roller, also known as a tambour, with the help of a removal device and gathering them together.
  • the carding machine can have different clothing rollers. Each clothing roller is covered with teeth, prongs or points that project approximately radially outward. The number and / or the size / or the density of the teeth, serrations or points, their shape and shape can vary.
  • the clothing rollers are usually provided with all-steel clothing. These consist of a profiled clothing wire that is wound onto the relevant clothing roller under tension.
  • the trim wire has a foot section and a blade section.
  • the foot section can, for example, be rectangular or square in cross section.
  • the blade section protrudes from the foot section, in the position of use approximately transversely to the jacket surface of the clothing roller.
  • a sawtooth profile is provided on the blade section to form the teeth or prongs.
  • the clothing wire is wound around the outer surface of the clothing roller under longitudinal tension and the two ends are attached to the clothing roller.
  • Set wires are known in many different designs.
  • special Proposed groups of clothing wires each with specific geometric features.
  • the EP2489766A2 discloses an all-steel clothing which is formed from two clothing wires with different tooth geometries which are drawn next to one another on a clothing roller.
  • the first clothing wire has a negative working angle and a tip surface, while the second clothing wire has a positive working angle.
  • This combination is intended to create an all-steel clothing which, on the one hand, has the necessary aggressiveness and, on the other hand, prevents the fibers from penetrating into the clothing and ultimately preventing the clothing from clogging. Every single one of the two clothing wires cannot meet the requirements of the all-steel clothing.
  • the WO00 / 26450A1 , the WO2011 / 138322A1 and the WO2013 / 037711A1 show clothing wires that are particularly suitable for so-called worker rolls, doffer rolls or transfer rolls.
  • the teeth of these clothing wires are typically punched in relatively deep compared to the total height of the clothing wire and their tooth face is inclined relatively sharply forwards in the direction of the foot section.
  • the tooth face is the side of the tooth that comes into direct contact with the fibers during carding.
  • the specified publications show areas of the tooth face which are inclined even further towards the foot of the clothing in order to increase the carding effect of the clothing.
  • a region of the tooth face that is more inclined towards the foot of the set can be referred to as an undercut.
  • the WO2013 / 037711A1 therefore proposes to further the WO00 / 26450A1 a special geometry in the course of the tooth face, especially in the undercut.
  • the object is achieved by a clothing wire according to claim 1.
  • the clothing wire according to the invention is particularly suitable for a consumer clothing, a workers clothing or a transmission clothing.
  • the clothing wire In its longitudinal direction, the clothing wire has successive teeth which are arranged spaced apart in the longitudinal direction.
  • the spacing of the division can advantageously be measured from tooth tip to tooth tip.
  • the teeth are delimited in the longitudinal direction on a first side by a tooth face and on a second side by a tooth back.
  • the tooth face and the tooth back of successive teeth viewed downwards in the vertical direction of the clothing wire, merge into one another in a tooth base. Viewed upwards in the vertical direction of the clothing wire, the tooth face and the tooth back form the tooth tip at their intersection.
  • the tooth depth is determined by the greatest distance in the vertical direction of the clothing wire from the tooth tip to the tooth base.
  • the clothing wire according to the invention is characterized in that a distance, measured perpendicular to a tangent to a point of inflection between the back of the tooth and the base of the tooth, from this point of inflection to the opposite tooth face is greater than a quarter of the pitch. It is also advantageous if the distance is greater than the quotient of the division and 3.5 or greater than the quotient of the division and 3.
  • the turning point in the transition from the tooth back to the tooth bottom can be clearly determined as follows. Apart from local shaped elements such as elevations or depressions, the tooth back has a tangent essentially at every point, which includes an acute angle to the longitudinal direction. In the tooth base there is at least one point at which the tangent to the clothing wire runs in the longitudinal direction. Starting from this point with a tangent in the longitudinal direction to the back of the tooth, the turning point is at the first point at which the angle of the tangent at this point assumes a smaller or equal angle to the longitudinal direction compared to the closest previous point.
  • the clothing wire according to the invention preferably has a pitch smaller than 3.2 mm. A division of less than 2.6 mm is particularly advantageous.
  • the set wire can have an angle to the longitudinal direction of between 45 ° and 65 ° in the tooth face.
  • the set wire can have an angle to the longitudinal direction of between 50 ° and 60 ° in the tooth face.
  • This angular range can particularly advantageously be present on the tooth face below any steeper tip section that may be present and below any undercut that may be present.
  • the tooth face can run straight and have a single angular value from this range. However, it is also possible that the tooth face is curved and assumes different angles from this angular range in the course of the tooth face.
  • the tooth base of the clothing wire can be designed in the shape of a circular arc.
  • a rounded tooth base is particularly advantageous because then there are no edges or corners where fibers can easily get stuck.
  • the rounded tooth base advantageously merges tangentially and without kinking into the adjacent tooth back and the adjacent tooth face.
  • the radius in the tooth base of the clothing wire can be greater than one eighth of the pitch.
  • a radius greater than 0.4 mm can be particularly advantageous.
  • a radius larger than a seventh or a sixth of the division is also advantageous.
  • the clothing wire can have a tooth back with two or more straight sections.
  • a straight section that adjoins the tooth base can have a greater angle to the longitudinal direction of the clothing wire than another straight section of the tooth back.
  • the straight section adjoining the tooth base preferably merges tangentially into the tooth base.
  • the straight section of the The back of the tooth of the clothing wire preferably extends up to a maximum of 50% of the tooth depth in the direction of the tip. On the one hand, this ensures that the teeth can have the required spacing in the tooth base.
  • the teeth can still be designed with the required small pitch and yet with a small angle to the longitudinal direction in the tooth face or with an undercut.
  • the clothing wire can have an undercut in the tooth face.
  • the undercut is more inclined to the longitudinal direction than the part of the tooth face adjoining at the bottom. In other words, the undercut has a smaller angle to the longitudinal direction than the adjoining part of the tooth face.
  • the angle of the undercut is preferably between 0 ° and 40 ° to the longitudinal direction.
  • the angle of the undercut can be between 5 ° and 35 ° to the longitudinal direction.
  • FIG. 1 shows a clothing wire (1) according to the prior art.
  • a section of clothing wire is shown which comprises 4 teeth (2).

  • the arrow to represent the tooth depth (7) is shown between the deepest point of a tooth base (6) and on an auxiliary line, which in turn is applied to a tooth tip (8).
  • the illustrated clothing wire (1) has an undercut (11).
  • the tooth back (5) and the tooth face (4) run straight below the undercut (11). Above the undercut (11) in the direction of the tip, the tooth back (5) and the tooth face (4) have a deviating area.
  • the trim wire according to the invention in Figure 2 corresponds to a large extent to the clothing wire Figure 1 .
  • the clothing wire (1) has a spacing (9) which is greater than a quarter of the pitch (3).
  • the distance (9) is measured from a turning point (10) at the transition from the tooth base (6) to the tooth back (5) to the opposite tooth face (4).

  • Figure 3 shows two teeth (2) of a clothing wire (1) according to the invention.
  • the foot section is no longer shown in full, but at the bottom of the Figure 3 cut off.
  • the distance (9) starting from the point of inflection (10) is measured at an angle of 90 ° to the tangent at the point of inflection (10).
