Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a feed device for feeding loosened fibers or fiber flocks onto a transport device, a web-forming system comprising such a feed device, and a method for forming a fiber pile or non-woven web.
  • fiber flocks are usually delivered from a fiber flock feeder to a transport device, which takes them in the form of a fiber flock mat to a pile producer, e.g. a carding machine, a web former or a bonding machine, e.g. a needle loom, transported on.
  • a pile producer e.g. a carding machine, a web former or a bonding machine, e.g. a needle loom
  • Corresponding intervention options exist at various points in the system.
  • the weight of the fiber flock mat can be measured by means of a belt scale and the feed speed of the pile generator can be adjusted on this basis.
  • a feeding device for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber flocks onto a transport device which comprises a plurality of feed segments arranged transversely to the transport direction and horizontally next to one another.
  • Each of these feed segments has its own draw-in roller, which interacts with an opening roller of the feed device for breaking up a starting material, for example a fiber sliver or a fiber fleece strip.
  • Each feed segment is fed with its own fiber sliver or its own fiber fleece strip, which is fed to the feed segment centrally with respect to its width in the axial direction of the draw-in roller.
  • each feed segment has its own draw-in roller, which must be rotatably mounted accordingly, space for such bearings must be provided between the draw-in rollers of the feed segments arranged next to one another, so that the draw-in rollers cannot usually connect directly to one another. All of this has the consequence that a fiber flock, fiber pile or nonwoven web may not be able to be produced with the desired uniformity transversely to the transport direction.
  • a feed device for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber flocks onto a transport device comprises at least a first feed segment and a second feed segment for feeding a starting material, the first and the second feed segment each comprising a feed roller, and an opening roller, which is connected to the feed rollers of the first and of the second feed segment cooperates to dissolve the starting material.
  • the at least one first and second feed segment are arranged at a distance from one another in a circumferential direction of the opening roller.
  • the fact that two feed segments are arranged at a distance from one another in a circumferential direction of the opening roller means that the feed rollers of the two feed segments are not are axially aligned with one another, but are distributed along the circumference of the opening roller in such a way that the axes of these intake rollers are arranged parallel to one another at a predetermined distance along the circumference of the opening roller. It is preferred that the axes of these feed rollers are also aligned parallel to the axis of the opening roller. The distance between the axes of these feed rollers from the axis of the opening roller in the radial direction of the opening roller is preferably the same, but can vary if feed rollers of different dimensions are used.
  • first and the second feed segment are arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction of the opening roller, it is possible to arrange the feed segments closer to one another in the axial direction of the opening roller and the feed roller, so that the storage space between adjacent feed segments does not negatively affect uniformity affects the material web transversely to the transport direction.
  • the uneven fiber or fiber flock distribution over the width of a feed segment can be counteracted. It is also possible to mix different fibers or feed them alternately in the transport direction to the transport device if the first and the second feed segment are aligned with one another without an offset in the axial direction of the opening roller.
  • the feed device can form a new material web on the transport device by feeding the fibers or fiber flocks onto the transport device or feed fibers or fiber flocks to an existing material web that is conveyed on the transport device under the feed device.
  • the material web which can be a fiber flock mat, a fiber pile or nonwoven web.
  • the starting material is preferably a fiber sliver or a fiber fleece strip made of fibers.
  • the starting material that is fed from the first feed segment can differ from the starting material that is fed from the second feed segment.
  • the fibers of the starting materials can differ in at least one property.
  • the at least one property of the fibers of the first and the second starting material in which the fibers differ is preferably selected from: the color of the fibers, the fiber type, the fiber material, the fiber diameter, the fiber length, the fiber treatment, the cross-sectional shape of the fibers, the roughness of the fibers or the fiber crimp.
  • Natural or synthetic fibers for example, form different types of fiber. Different fiber materials can include different natural fibers or different synthetic fibers, for example. With regard to the fiber treatment, chemical treatments of the fibers can be provided, for example.
  • the properties of the fibers have a corresponding effect on the properties of the material web formed by them. However, the same starting material can also be fed to all feed segments.
  • the feed rollers and the opening roller work together in an area facing each other to dissolve the starting material.
  • the starting material is drawn in between the respective feed roller and the opening roller and separated into individual components, such as e.g. individual fibers or fiber flakes, dissolved.
  • the feed rollers and the opening roller usually have sets of teeth which engage in the starting material and pull it apart in order to detach fibers or fiber flocks from the starting material.
  • the interaction of feed rollers and an opening roller and their preferred designs are known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the opening roller is driven, e.g. from a servo motor.
  • the opening roller is preferably formed continuously transversely to the transport direction, but can also be formed by a plurality of opening roller sections axially aligned with one another. It is also understood that, in addition to the first and the second feed segment, further feed segments can be provided in the circumferential direction of the opening roller at a distance from the first and second feed segments.
  • the feed rollers of the first and second feed segments can preferably be controlled individually.
  • the first and the second feed segment are aligned with one another in the circumferential direction without offset in an axial direction of the opening roller.
  • the first and the second feed segment are so in the circumferential direction in one Arranged row.
  • the opening roller of the feed device is arranged in such a way that its axis extends transversely to a transport direction of the transport device onto which the fibers or fiber flocks are discharged. Fibers or fiber flocks of the starting material of the first and the second feed segment are thereby delivered to the transport device transversely to the transport direction in the same area, since the first and the second feed segment interact with the same section of the opening roller.
  • a mixing ratio between the starting materials of the first and the second feed segment can be set as desired. It is thus possible to alternately introduce fibers of different properties in the transport direction of the transport device and thus in the longitudinal direction of the material web or to combine fibers of different properties in the desired mixing ratio.
  • the properties of the material web can thus be adapted as required.
  • the fibers of the different starting materials can differ in their color, which enables a color pattern of the material web.
  • fibers of different fiber types, fiber materials and / or fiber dimensions can also be used, the mixing ratio of which can be regulated as required in order to influence the mechanical properties of the material web.
  • the first and the second feed segment are preferably arranged offset from one another in the axial direction of the opening roller.
  • the feed segments can be arranged completely offset to one another, i.e. each feed segment interacts with a section of the outer surface of the opening roller with which no other feed segment interacts. Due to the distance in the circumferential direction, however, the feed segments can have a smaller distance in the axial direction, so that no section of the outer surface of the opening roller remains across the width of the material web transversely to the transport direction that does not interact with one of the feed segments.
  • the feed segments can, however, also have a smaller offset with respect to one another, so that the sections of the lateral surface of the opening roller with which the feed segments each interact partially overlap. This is particularly advantageous when the delivery of fibers or fiber flocks over the width of a feed segment is uneven and so a smaller amount of fibers is delivered in the edge area of each feed segment. By overlapping the sections of the outer surface of the opening roller, with which the feed segments interact in these edge areas, the uneven delivery of fibers is counteracted.
  • the feed device comprises at least one further feed segment which is aligned in the axial direction with the first or the second feed segment.
  • a plurality of further feed segments can also be provided, of which at least one further feed segment is axially aligned with the first feed segment and at least one further feed segment is axially aligned with the second feed segment.
  • the axial direction refers to the feed rollers.
  • a plurality of feed segments are arranged horizontally next to one another in the axial direction. The feed segments arranged next to one another in the axial direction can generate or compensate for a profile in the transverse direction of the material web if this is undesirable.
  • the advantages of the arrangement of feed segments in the axial direction and in the circumferential direction can be combined and the flexibility in the production of the material web is further increased.
  • the feed segments aligned with one another in the axial direction can be controlled individually. This is preferably achieved in that the feed segments, which are aligned with one another in the axial direction, each comprise their own draw-in roller.
  • the feed segments of a first row which are arranged next to one another in the axial direction, can be arranged at a distance from one another in the axial direction, so that there is sufficient installation space between them to support the feed rollers.
  • a second row of feed segments arranged next to one another in the axial direction is then arranged spaced apart in the circumferential direction, the feed segments of the two rows being offset from one another in such a way that the feed segments of the second row interact with the sections of the surface of the opening roller with which the first row does not cooperate . This ensures that fibers or fiber flocks are released over the entire working width. This can be done on any Expand the number of rows spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of axially aligned feed segments.
  • a web-forming system for forming a material web comprises a transport device for conveying the material web in a transport direction and at least one feed device described above for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber flocks onto the transport device.
  • a web-forming system is provided which benefits from the advantages of the feed device according to the invention described above.

  • the feed segments of one feed device can then be arranged offset in the axial direction of the opening rollers to the feed segments of the other feed device in order to deliver fibers or fiber flocks onto the transport device over the entire working width of the web-forming system.
  • the two feed devices are preferably arranged one behind the other in the transport direction, so that the axes of the opening rollers of the two feed devices are arranged parallel to one another.

It is preferred that each of the further feed segments 110a, 110b, 210a, 210b, 310a, 310b can also be activated individually.
  • each feed segment 110, 110a, b, 210, 210a, b, 310, 310a, b of the feed device 8 preferably has its own draw-in roller 120, 220, 320, whereby the feed of the starting material 114, 214, 314 of each feed segment can be individually regulated.
  • the further feed segments 110a, 210a, 310a are also aligned with one another in the circumferential direction U of the opening roller 26 without offset in the axial direction A and the further feed segments 110b, 210b, 310b are correspondingly aligned with one another in the circumferential direction U, so that they each have a further row of consecutive feed segments 110a, 210a, 310a and 110b, 210b, 310b, respectively.
  • the feed device 8 consequently comprises a total of nine feed segments 110, 110a, 110b, 210, 210a, 210b, 310, 310a, 310b, which are arranged one behind the other in three rows in the circumferential direction U and next to one another in three rows in the axial direction A.
  • the feed segments 110, 110a, 110b or 210, 210a, 210b or 310, 310a, 310b arranged next to one another in a row in the axial direction A can be operated synchronously so that a newly formed material web 4 is essentially transverse to the transport direction T is formed homogeneously.
  • These feed segments can, however, also be operated independently of one another in order to generate a surface profile transverse to the transport direction T of the material web 4, or to compensate for an undesired surface profile in a material web already on the transport device 6.
  • the feed segments 110, 110a, 110b or 210, 210a, 210b or 310, 310a, 310b, which are arranged next to one another in the axial direction A, can each be fed with a starting material 114, 214, 314 that corresponds to the starting material 114, 214, 314 of the respective corresponds to other feed segments of the axial row.
  • each of these feed segments can also be fed with a starting material 114, 214, 314, the fibers of which differ in at least one property from the corresponding property of the fibers of the other starting materials 114, 214, 314, as described above.
  • the three rows of feed segments arranged one behind the other, aligned in the circumferential direction U, are arranged at a distance from one another in the axial direction A.
  • a minimum distance between feed segments that are adjacent in the axial direction A is determined by the installation space required for mounting the axial ends of the respective feed rollers in the feed device 8.
  • the fiber distribution transversely to the transport direction T on the transport device 6 is non-uniform even if the feed segments arranged next to one another in the axial direction A are operated synchronously.
  • This effect is further enhanced by the fact that the starting material is usually fed centrally to the respective feed segment and the fiber distribution therefore decreases over the width of a feed segment towards the edges of the feed segment.
  • Fig. 3 therefore shows an embodiment of the feed device 8 or the web-forming system 2, in which the feed segments are arranged in order to counteract this effect.
  • the preceding statements apply analogously to the web-forming system 2, the feed device 8 and their feed segments 110, 110a, 210, 210a, 210b, with the difference that the feed segments have a different arrangement relative to one another.
  • first and the second feed segment 110, 210 are here also arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction U of the opening roller 26.
  • a further feed segment 110a is aligned with the first feed segment 110 and two further feed segments 210a and 210b are aligned with the second feed segment 210.
  • More or fewer further feed segments can also be provided, as well as analogously to Fig. 2 a third feed segment 310 with or without associated further feed segments.
  • first and second feed segments 110, 210 are after Fig. 3 arranged offset to one another in the axial direction A of the opening roller 26.
  • the first and second feed segments 110, 210 therefore do not form a row of feed segments arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction U without an offset in the axial direction A.
  • the further feed segments 110a, 210a, 210b also do not form such rows.
  • the working areas of the first and the second feed segment 110, 210 overlap in the circumferential direction U. This means that a part of the area of the lateral surface of the opening roller 26 which interacts with the draw-in roller 120 of the first feed segment 110 also interacts with the draw-in roller 220 of the second feed segment 210.
  • the working areas of the first and second feed segments 110, 210 that overlap in this way cause fibers or fiber flocks of both the first and second feed segments 110, 210 to be scattered on the transport device 6 in the region of this overlap. The smaller amount of fibers in the edge area of each individual feed segment 110, 210 can thereby be compensated for.
  • the feed segments 110, 110a, 210, 210a, 210b are arranged in two rows of feed segments 110, 110a or 210, 210a, 210b arranged axially next to one another.
  • the feed segments 110, 110a of one row are arranged offset in the axial direction relative to the feed segments 210, 210a, 210b of the other row. In this case, it is preferred that, as a result of this arrangement, there are no areas in the axial direction of the opening roller 26 in which the opening roller does not interact with at least one draw-in roller of the feed segments.
  • the first feed segment 110 is arranged in the axial direction in such a way that its work area overlaps with the work areas of the second feed segment 210 and the further feed segment 210a.
  • the further feed segment 110a is arranged in the axial direction such that its working area coincides with the Working areas of the further feed segment 210a and the further feed segment 210b overlap. This arrangement can be scaled as desired both in the circumferential direction U and in the axial direction A.
  • Fig. 4 therefore shows an embodiment of a web-forming system 2 according to the invention, which shows the advantages of the embodiments described above Fig. 2 and 3 united.
  • the web forming plant 2 after Fig. 4 comprises a first feed device 40 and a second feed device 42 for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber flocks onto the transport device 6.
  • the two feed devices 8, 40 are arranged one behind the other in the transport direction T so that the axes of the opening rollers 26 of the two feed devices 8, 40 are parallel to each other are arranged.
  • the first feed device 40 corresponds to the feed device 8 according to FIG Fig. 2 .
  • the corresponding statements also apply here.
  • the second feed device 42 corresponds essentially to the feed device 8 according to FIG Fig. 2 ., wherein it has only two rows of feed segments 110, 210, 310 and 110a, 210a, 310a arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction U. More precisely, the first, the second and the third feed segment 110, 210, 310 of the second feed device 42 form a first row of feed segments arranged one behind the other and the further feed segments 110a, 210a, 310a of the second feed device 42 form a second row of feed segments arranged one behind the other, the first and second rows extend in the circumferential direction U of the opening roller 26.
  • the feed device 8 has three rows of feed segments arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction U of the opening roller 26, one row of the feed segments 110, 210, 310, another row of the feed segments 110a, 210a and 310a and another row from the feed segments 110b, 210b, 310b.
  • each row of feed segments arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction U enables different starting materials to be fed within a row, whereby the different fibers or fiber flocks can be dispensed in any mixing ratio.
  • the rows of feed segments of the first feed device 40 arranged one behind the other are offset from the rows in the axial direction A of the opening roller 26 one behind the other arranged feed segments of the second feed device 42.
  • fibers or fiber flocks are fed by the first feed device 40 to areas of the transport device 6 to which the second feed device 42 can feed no or only a few fibers or fiber flocks due to the design.
  • an equalization or a profile formation can be achieved over the entire width of a material web 4 transversely to the transport direction T, while at the same time the variety of different starting materials and their supply can be used in any mixing ratio.
