Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a feed device for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber tufts onto a transport device, a nonwoven forming plant comprising such a feed device and a method for forming a fibrous web or nonwoven web.
  • fiber tufts are usually delivered from a fiber tuft feeder to a transport device, which transports them in the form of a fiber tuft mat to a pile producer, such as a carding machine, a nonwoven former or a bonding machine, such as a needling machine.
  • a pile producer such as a carding machine, a nonwoven former or a bonding machine, such as a needling machine.
  • a pile producer such as a carding machine, a nonwoven former or a bonding machine, such as a needling machine.
  • a pile producer such as a carding machine, a nonwoven former or a bonding machine, such as a needling machine.
  • a pile producer such as a carding machine, a nonwoven former or a bonding machine, such as a needling machine.
  • the weight of the fiber flock mat can be measured using a belt weigher and the feed speed of the pile generator can be adjusted on this basis.
  • a feed device for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber tufts onto a transport device, which comprises a plurality of feed segments arranged horizontally next to one another and transversely to the transport direction.
  • Each of these feed segments has its own draw-in roller, which interacts with an opening roller of the feed device to open up a starting material, for example a fiber roving or a fiber fleece strip.
  • This makes it possible to adjust and vary the quantity of fibers or fiber tufts delivered by the feed device transversely to the transport direction of the transport device and thereby to compensate for defects or irregularities in the fiber tuft mat or the fleece web or to generate a predetermined transverse profile.
  • Each feed segment is fed with its own fiber roving or its own fiber fleece strip, which is fed to the feed segment in the center with respect to its width in the axial direction of the draw-in roller.
  • the result of this is that the loosened fibers or fiber tufts are sometimes not completely evenly distributed over the width of the respective feed segment, with more in the middle Fibers or fiber flocks are discharged towards the edges of each feed segment.
  • each feed segment has its own feed roller, which is to be mounted in a correspondingly rotatable manner, space for such bearings must be provided between the feed rollers of the feed segments arranged next to one another, so that the feed rollers cannot usually connect directly to one another. All of this has the consequence that a fibrous flock, fibrous web or non-woven web may not be able to be produced transversely to the direction of transport with the desired uniformity.
  • a feeding device in each case, in which two feed rollers interact with an opening roller in a flock chute in order to detach fiber flocks.
  • the two feed rollers are spaced apart from one another along the circumference of the opening roller. In these cases, however, the distribution of the flakes over the width of the rollers cannot be influenced.
  • a feed device for feeding opened fibers or fiber tufts 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 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 feed rollers of the first and second feed segment can be controlled individually.
  • 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 axially aligned with one another, but are distributed along the circumference of the opening roller in such a way that the axes of these feed rollers are parallel to one another at a predetermined distance along the Scope of the opening roller are arranged. 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 and 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 makes it possible to arrange the feed segments closer to one another in the axial direction of the opening roller and the feed roller, so that a gap between adjacent feed segments caused by the bearing does not have a negative effect the uniformity of the material web transverse to the transport direction. Overlapping the feed segments in the axial direction can counteract the uneven distribution of fibers or fiber tufts across the width of a feed segment. It is also possible to mix different fibers or to feed them onto the transport device alternately in the transport direction if the first and the second feed segment are aligned with one another without offset in the axial direction of the opening roller.
  • the feed device can form a new web of material on the transport device by feeding the fibers or fiber tufts onto the transport device, or feed fibers or fiber tufts to an existing material web that is conveyed along under the feed device on the transport device.
  • the material web can be a fibrous mat, a fibrous web or non-woven web.
  • the starting material is preferably a fiber roving or a non-woven fiber strip made of fibers.
  • the feedstock fed by the first feed segment may differ from the feedstock fed by 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 second starting material, in which the fibers differ is preferably selected from: the color of the fibers, the type of fiber, 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 fiber crimping.
  • natural or synthetic fibers form different types of fibers. Different fiber materials can, for example, comprise different natural fibers or different synthetic fibers.
  • chemical treatments of the fibers can be provided, for example.
  • the properties of the fibers have a corresponding effect on the properties of the web of material formed by them. However, the same starting material can also be fed to all feed segments.
  • the draw-in rollers and the opening roller work together in an area facing one another to open up the starting material.
  • the starting material is drawn in between the respective feed roller and the opening roller and broken down into individual, separated components, such as individual fibers or fiber flocks.
  • 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 separate fibers or fiber flocks from the starting material.
  • the interaction of feed rollers and an opening roller and their preferred designs are known to those skilled in the art.
  • the opening roller is driven, eg by a servo motor.
  • the opening roller is preferably formed continuously transversely to the transport direction, but can also be formed by several opening roller sections aligned axially with respect to one another. It is also understood that in addition to the first and the second feed segment further feed segments spaced apart from the first and second feed segments in the circumferential direction of the opening roller.
  • the draw-in rollers of the first and the second feed segment can 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 thus arranged in a row in the circumferential direction.
  • 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 tufts are delivered. Fibers or fiber tufts of the starting material of the first and the second feed segment are thereby discharged onto 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 second feed segment can be set as desired. It is thus possible to introduce fibers with different properties alternately in the transport direction of the transport device and thus in the longitudinal direction of the material web, or to combine fibers with different properties in the desired mixing ratio. The properties of the material web can thus be adjusted as desired.
  • the fibers of the different starting materials can differ in their color, which enables a colored patterning 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 desired in order to influence the mechanical properties of the material web.
  • the first and the second feed segment are preferably offset from one another in the axial direction of the opening roller.
  • the feed segments can be arranged completely offset from one another, ie each feed segment interacts with a section of the lateral surface of the opening roller with which no other feed segment interacts. Due to the distance in the circumferential direction, the feed segments can have a smaller distance in the axial direction, so that across the width of the material web transverse to the transport direction no section of the outer surface of the opening roller remains that does not interact with one of the feed segments.
  • the feed segments can also have a smaller offset from one another, so that the sections of the lateral surface of the opening roller with which the feed segments interact in each case partially overlap. This is particularly advantageous when the delivery of fibers or fiber tufts is uneven across the width of a feed segment and a smaller quantity of fibers is delivered in the edge area of each feed segment. The uneven release of fibers is counteracted by the overlapping of the sections of the outer surface of the opening roller, with which the feed segments interact, in these edge regions.
  • the feeding device comprises at least one further feeding segment which is aligned in the axial direction with the first or the second feeding segment.
  • a plurality of further feed segments can also be provided, of which at least one further feed segment is aligned axially with the first feed segment and at least one further feed segment is aligned axially with the second feed segment.
  • the axial direction refers to the feed rollers.
  • several 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 produce 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 aligned with one another in the axial direction each have their own draw-in roller.
  • the feed segments of a first row arranged next to one another in the axial direction can be arranged at a distance from one another in the axial direction, so that sufficient space remains between them for mounting the feed rollers.
  • a second row of feed segments arranged next to one another in the axial direction is then arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction, with 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 interact . This ensures that fibers or fiber tufts are released over the entire working width. This can be extended to any number of circumferentially spaced rows of axially aligned feed segments.
  • a web formation system for forming a web of material comprises a transport device for conveying the web of material in a transport direction and at least one previously described feed device for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber tufts onto the transport device.
  • a fleece formation system is provided which benefits from the advantages of the feed device according to the invention described above.
  • the web formation system can have a device for forming a material web, e.g. a fiber tuft feeder, arranged upstream of the at least one feed device with respect to the transport direction of the transport device, and the at least one feed device adds further fibers or fiber tufts to the material web.
  • a device for forming a material web e.g. a fiber tuft feeder
  • the at least one feed device adds further fibers or fiber tufts to the material web.
  • a device can also be omitted and the at least one feed device forms the material web on the transport device.
  • the flexibility and variety in the formation of the web of material can be further increased by the fleece formation system comprising two of the feed devices described above for feeding dissolved fibers or fiber tufts onto the transport device.
  • the two feed devices then preferably have feed segments in different arrangements. It is thus possible, for example, for the feed segments of a feed device to be arranged without offset relative to one another in an axial direction and to form a plurality of rows of feed segments which are aligned with one another in the axial direction and which extend in the circumferential direction are distributed along the opening roller.
  • the feed segments of one feed device can then be arranged offset in the axial direction of the opening rollers relative to the feed segments of the other feed device in order to deliver fibers or fiber tufts onto the transport device over the entire working width of the nonwoven formation 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.
  • the at least one property of the fibers of the first and second starting material, in which the fibers differ can be selected from: the color of the fibers, the type of fiber, 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.
  • the fleece forming plant is thereby able to produce a material web which is patterned in the longitudinal direction or to produce areas of different mechanical properties in the longitudinal direction of the material web.
  • the method preferably comprises forming a strip of fibers or fiber flocks on the transport device by changing the mixing ratio between fibers or fiber flocks of the first starting material and the second starting material along the transport direction.

  • This allows z. B. produce colored patterns in the material web 4 .
  • the feeding device 8 comprises at least one further feeding segment, which is aligned in the axial direction A with the first or the second feeding segment 110, 210. This results in a row of feed segments arranged next to one another in the axial direction A.
  • the other feed segments are in Figures 2 to 4 identified by the addition "a" or "b".
  • the further feed segments are optionally provided and each of the first, second and third feed segments 110, 210, 310 can be assigned a further feed segment or a plurality of further feed segments.
  • the further feed segments are preferably designed analogously to the feed segments 10, 110, 210, 310 described above, unless otherwise described.
  • the feed device 8 comprises the further feed segments 110a and 110b, which are axially aligned with the first feed segment 110, the further feed segments 210a and 210b, which are axially aligned with the second feed segment 210, and the further feed segments 310a and 310b, axially aligned with the third feed segment 310 . It is preferred that each of the further feed segments 110a, 110b, 210a, 210b, 310a, 310b can also be controlled individually.
  • each feed segment 110, 110a, b, 210, 210a, b, 310, 310a, b of the feed device 8 preferably has its own feed roller 120, 220, 320, whereby the feed of the starting material 114, 214, 314 of each feed segment can be regulated individually.
  • 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 form a further row of feed segments arranged one behind the other 110a, 210a, 310a or 110b, 210b, 310b.
  • the feeding device 8 consequently comprises a total of nine feeding 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 in three rows in the axial direction A next to one another.
  • 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 transverse to the transport direction T is essentially homogeneous .
  • these feed segments can also be operated independently of one another in order to generate a surface profile transversely 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 arranged next to one another in the axial direction A can each be fed with a starting material 114, 214, 314 which 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 whose fibers 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 and 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 that is required for mounting the axial ends of the respective draw-in rollers in the feed device 8 .
  • This effect is further enhanced by the fact that the source material is generally fed to the respective feed segment in the middle and the fiber distribution therefore decreases across the width of a feed segment towards the edges of the feed segment.
  • FIG. 10 therefore shows an embodiment of the feed device 8 or of the web formation system 2, in which the feed segments are arranged in order to counteract this effect.
  • the preceding explanations apply analogously to the web formation 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 also arranged here in the circumferential direction U of the opening roller 26 at a distance from one another.
  • 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.

  • first and second feed segments 110, 210 are 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 offset in the axial direction A.
  • the other feed segments 110a, 210a, 210b also do not form such rows.
  • the working areas of the first and second feed segments 110, 210 overlap in the circumferential direction U. This means that part of the area of the lateral surface of the opening roller 26 which interacts with the feed roller 120 of the first feed segment 110 also interacts with the feed roller 220 of the second feed segment 210 at the same time.
  • the overlapping work areas of the first and second feed segments 110, 210 cause fibers or fiber tufts of both the first and second feed segments 110, 210 to be scattered on the transport device 6 in the area of this overlap. The smaller amount of fibers in the edge area of each individual feed segment 110, 210 can be compensated for in this way.
  • 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 offset in the axial direction to the feed segments 210, 210a, 210b of the other row. It is preferred that this arrangement means that 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 working area overlaps with the working areas of the second feed segment 210 and the further feed segment 210a.
  • the further feed segment 110a is arranged in the axial direction in such a way that its working area overlaps with the working areas of the further feed segment 210a and the further feed segment 210b. This arrangement can be scaled as desired both in the circumferential direction U and in the axial direction A.
  • the fleece formation system 2 after 4 comprises a first feed device 40 and a second feed device 42 for feeding loosened fibers or fiber tufts 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 one another are arranged.
  • the first feeding device 40 corresponds to the feeding device 8 2 .
  • the corresponding statements also apply here.
  • the second feeding device 42 essentially corresponds to the feeding device 8 2 . 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, with the first and the second row in the circumferential direction U of the opening roller 26 extend.
  • 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, a row of feed segments 110, 210, 310, a further row of feed segments 110a, 210a and 310a and yet another row from the feed segments 110b, 210b, 310b.
  • each row of feed segments arranged one behind the other in the circumferential direction U makes it possible to feed different starting materials within a row, whereby the delivery of the different fibers or fiber flocks is achieved in any mixing ratios.
  • the rows of feed segments arranged one behind the other of the first feed device 40 are offset in the axial direction A of the opening roller 26 relative to the rows successively arranged feed segments of the second feed device 42 are arranged.
  • the first feed device 40 feeds fibers or fiber tufts to areas of the transport device 6 to which the second feed device 42 can feed no or only a few fibers or fiber tufts due to the design.
  • equalization or profile formation can be achieved across 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 in any mixing ratios can be used.
