Definitions
- the present invention is based on a sluice device for material bands in vacuum chambers for treating the material strips in a vacuum.
- the inflow and outfeed of material bands is labor-intensive, time-consuming and energy-intensive.
- the vacuum at the vacuum chamber must be broken and then the vacuum chamber evacuated again.
- EP 2 13 23 54 discloses a conventional lock concept. They are therefore all leaks, which must be permanently compensated by a variety of energy and maintenance-intensive vacuum pumps. Both in the case of bandwidth changes and changes in the thickness of the material through which the material passes, the locks must be elaborately adjusted or leaks must be compensated for by additional pumping power. In addition, the multiple, partially pressurized roller contact in a lock means problems for product quality.
- a device for continuous introduction and / or removal of material bands in vacuum systems wherein the device has a lock stage, wherein the lock stage has a siphon, wherein the siphon in the plane defined by the vertical and the horizontal plane a turn wherein the turn is placed so that the material band before moving through the turn has a downward movement component and that after passing through the turn the material strap has a movement component upwards, the turn being filled with a liquid, wherein the siphon has a connection region, the siphon connecting a first region of the device to a second region of the device.
- the siphon has a, preferably U-shaped, turn and a connection area.
- the connecting region joins the turn on one side of the turn and is preferably oriented vertically upwards.
- the turn is filled with a liquid, preferably water.
- Conceivable here would be another liquid such as an acid, preferably hydrochloric acid, or an oil.
- the siphon connects a first area to a second area. Because the turn is filled with the liquid, the first region is separated from the second region by the siphon in a gastight manner. A band of material can be guided by the siphon from the first area into the second area.
- the siphon is the only permeable connection between the first region and the second region. This ensures in an advantageous manner that no gas exchange can take place between the first region and the second region, and thus the pumping capacity can be at least significantly reduced after the evacuation of the second region.
- the second region has a vacuum pump. This can be lowered in the second area of the pressure. Conceivable here are pressure drops to the range of rough vacuum, ie about 300 mbar to 1 mbar.
- the air pressure in the first region presses onto the surface of the liquid in the siphon so that it sinks on the side of the first region and rises on the side of the second region in the connection region.
- a liquid column is formed, which is formed so high that its hydrostatic pressure equalizes the pressure on the surface of the liquid on the side of the first area. If an operating vacuum in the second range is reached, this state remains.
- the vacuum pump can be switched off and the siphon can be used to continuously feed a band of material from the first area to the second area.
- the rise height of the liquid column depends on the density of the liquid used and on the pressure difference between the first and second regions.
- the height of rise of the liquid column would be about 10 m, with a pressure difference of 1 bar and the use of mercury as liquid, the height of rise of the liquid column would be 733 mm.
- the achievable with the device end pressure in the second region corresponds to the partial vapor pressure of the liquid used. If this is achieved, the liquid begins to boil in the second area and in a further evacuation, only the steam of the boiling liquid would be pumped out. If water is used as the liquid at room temperature, the partial vapor pressure is 33 mbar.
- the siphon has a deflection device for deflecting the material band in the turn.
- the material band can be deflected at the reversal point of the turn of the siphon in its direction.
- Conceivable here is the use of a pulley.
- the deflection roller is driven and thus prevents abrasion of the material strip.
- the deflecting roller is provided with a profile through which liquid can advantageously be removed between the material band and the roller. It is preferably provided that the deflection roller is only partially immersed in the liquid and thus forms the inner part of the turn.
- the upper part of the deflection roller would thus form an intermediate wall between the first region and the connection region or the second region. It is conceivable to seal an emerging passage between the first area and the connection area or the second area at the upper part of the deflection roller and from the vacuum side the suspension by one or more scraper bars. Slight leaks in this preferred embodiment could be compensated for by vacuum pumps in the second area.
- the deflection device is a semicircular surface, wherein the semicircular surface has bores. It is conceivable that within the semicircular surface, a pump for pumping the liquid is installed. This pump is connected to the holes in the semicircular surface so that it presses the liquid through the holes with slight overpressure in the turn against the material band and so creates a liquid cushion between the semicircular surface and the material band. Thus, it is possible to reverse the material band in its direction without contact with a solid surface. Damage or abrasion on the material band can thus be avoided.
- the siphon has a reservoir filled with the liquid. If a pressure which is lower than the pressure in the first region prevails in the second region, a liquid column forms in the connection region. Due to the increase in the liquid level on the side of the second area, liquid is withdrawn from the side of the first area, which leads to a drop in the liquid level on this side.
- a surge tank is attached to the siphon on the side of the first area. cher is a liquid reservoir. If the second area is vented, this expansion tank can also accommodate the volume of the liquid column of the connection area. Thus, fluctuations of the liquid level on the side of the first region are advantageously minimized.
- the siphon has a device for regulating the temperature of the liquid.
- the possible final vacuum in the second range depends on the partial vapor pressure of the liquid, which in turn depends on the temperature of the liquid. If, for example, water at room temperature has a partial vapor pressure of 33 mbar, then it is still at 10 mbar at 0 ° C. With a cooling of the liquid, the possible end vacuum in the second region can be improved in an advantageous manner. However, it would also be conceivable to heat the liquid in order, for example, to control chemical processes between the material band and the liquid during passage.
- the second region has an element for heating the material strip. This advantageously makes it possible to vaporize microscopic adherences of the liquid to the material strip and thus to remove it before processing the material strip.
- the second region has an element for heating walls of the second region. Liquid introduced from the web of material into the second region could condense on the walls of the second region. If this happens, it is difficult to prevent the liquid from dripping back onto the material band and thus causing problems when processing the material strip.
- Heating the walls of the second region above the dew point of the liquid used at a given partial pressure in the second region advantageously prevents condensation of the liquid on the walls.
- the second region has a capacitor.
- This capacitor could be designed as a component whose temperature is controlled so that it is always the lowest temperature in the second range. If liquid is introduced into the second area and evaporated, the point at which the liquid vapor condenses can advantageously be controlled by the placement of the condenser. It would be conceivable to choose a location for the condenser in the interior of the second area, where dripping liquid causes no damage but can be collected and removed. Alternatively, this is carried out in the form of an exhaust pump analogous to an evacuation device, in which the gas is supplied to the condenser via a piping system.
- the device has a series arrangement of a plurality of lock stages.
- the liquid of a first lock stage can absorb a large part of the heat of the material band and heat to, for example, 60 ° C. Conceivable here would be the dissipation of heat by means of a cooling tower.
- the evacuated area of the first lock stage in this case again has a residual gas pressure below the partial vapor pressure of the liquid of the first lock stage and therefore only has to be pumped off permanently if gases are introduced by the material band or occur in a reaction with the liquid.
- the liquid of a second lock stage thus only needs to absorb significantly less heat. It would also be conceivable to cool down a strip of material to below room temperature.
- first lock stage for cleaning the material strip.
- liquid of a first lock stage for example, an acid for pickling the material strip, preferably hydrochloric acid
- a second lock stage could be warm water for rinsing the web of material and the liquid of a third lock stage could be cold water for pressure reduction.
- squeeze rollers between the lock stages.
- first sluice stage for discharging a material band heated in the vacuum chamber, in which the liquid is cold water and to use a second sluice stage in which the liquid is warm water. Due to the Leidenfrost effect, the fluid of the first lock stage hardly absorbs any heat. The heat release by the wetting of the surface of the strip material, which leads to the massive formation of steam, takes place only in the second lock stage. It is conceivable that the second lock stage is provided with strong vacuum pumps for maintaining the vacuum and / or with a condenser.
- a further subject matter of the present invention for achieving the object stated at the outset is a method for the continuous introduction and / or discharge of material strips in vacuum systems with a device according to one of the preceding claims, wherein the material strip is guided through a lock step is passed, wherein the strip of material is passed through a filled with a liquid siphon, the material band is passed before passing through the siphon down and is passed after passing through the siphon upwards, the material band through the siphon of a first area is led into a second area.
- the method makes it possible to continuously feed in and out of material strips in vacuum chambers, with little or no further vacuum pumping being necessary after evacuation of the vacuum chamber.
- the method is independent of strip thicknesses and / or bandwidths of the material strip and makes it possible to manage with only a few one-sided roller contacts of the material strip.
- the material strip is guided from the first region through a liquid-filled siphon, the turn of which is preferably U-shaped, into a second region.
- the fact that the material band is guided through a liquid-filled compound prevents gas from being exchanged between the first region and the second region.
- the second area is evacuated. By evacuating the second area, a treatment of the material band in the second area is made possible under vacuum.
- the gas-tight closure in the siphon makes it possible to pump the second area to an operating vacuum, preferably in the area of the rough vacuum, and then to shut off the vacuum pumps, without the vacuum breaking in the second area.
- the material band in the siphon is deflected by a deflecting device.
- the running direction of the material strip is guided along the shape of the siphon.
- the siphon preferably has a U-shaped turn at the lowest point, through which the material band must be guided, that is, it is deflected by a downward movement in an upward movement.
- the material strip is deflected on a semicircular deflection device with bores, wherein the liquid is pressed out of the bores with slight overpressure. It is conceivable that liquid is pressed through the bores outwards into the turn by a pump in the interior of the deflection device. If the material strip is guided along the deflection device, a liquid cushion is formed between the deflection device and the material strip. This advantageously makes it possible to deflect the material strip without contact with a solid surface.
- the material strip is dried in the second area outside the liquid of squeezing rollers. This makes it possible to free the material band of macroscopic liquid adhesions, which can accumulate on the material band as the material band passes through the liquid-filled part of the siphon.
- the temperature of the liquid is regulated. This allows the partial vapor pressure of the liquid to be reduced. The quality of the vacuum in the second range depends on the partial vapor pressure of the liquid. If this is cooled, the partial vapor pressure drops and thus it is possible to set a better vacuum in the second range.
- the liquid is heated in order to control possible chemical processes between the liquid and the material strip.
- the liquid used is a warm acid for simultaneous cleaning of the material band during insertion.
- the material strip is heated in the second region.
- microscopic liquid adhesions can advantageously be vaporized from the material strip.
- the material band is guided over heated rollers or that the material band is illuminated by an infrared lamp or a laser. If the material band is conductive, it is advisable to use preferably an adapted inductive heating. To prevent flashovers due to the vacuum, this preferably works at a low voltage ⁇ 200 V.
- the temperature is controlled by walls of the second region. This makes it possible to prevent the condensation of liquid vapors on the walls of the second region and thus the uncontrolled dripping of the condensed liquid. Thus, an impairment of the processing of the strip of material can be avoided by dripping the liquid condensed on the walls of the second region onto the strip of material.
- the material band is guided by a series arrangement of a plurality of lock stages.
- the liquid of a first lock stage a large part absorb the heat of the material band and heat to, for example, 60 ° C. Conceivable here would be the dissipation of heat by means of a cooling tower.
- the evacuated area of the first lock stage in this case again has a residual gas pressure below the partial vapor pressure of the liquid of the first lock stage and therefore only has to be pumped off permanently if gases are introduced through the material band or occur in a reaction with the liquid.
- the liquid of a second lock stage thus only has to absorb significantly less heat. It would also be conceivable to cool down a strip of material below room temperature.
- first lock stage for cleaning the material strip.
- an acid for pickling the material strip preferably hydrochloric acid
- liquid for a second lock stage could use warm water for rinsing the strip of material
- cold water for lowering the pressure could be used as the liquid of a third lock stage
- first lock stage for discharging a material band heated in the vacuum chamber, in which cold water is used as liquid and to use a second lock stage in which warm water is used as the liquid. Due to the Leidenfrost effect, the fluid of the first lock stage hardly absorbs any heat. The release of heat by the wetting of the surface of the material strip, which leads to the massive formation of steam, takes place only in the second lock stage. It is conceivable that the second lock stage is provided with strong vacuum pumps for maintaining the vacuum and / or with a condenser.

- the liquid in the fourth siphon 23 is 4 ° C cold water.
- the highly heated in the process chamber 17 mate- rialband is guided in the 4 ° C cold water. Due to the large temperature difference between the material band 7 and water of the fourth siphon 23, there is a Leidenfrost effect between the material band 7 and the liquid of the fourth siphon 23.
- a thin layer of vapor prevents the material band 7 wets and larger amounts of heat to the liquid of the fourth siphon 23 and so large amounts of vapor in the fourth siphon 23 arise, which could get into the fourth region 42 and could not be dominated by the capacitor, not shown.
- a fifth siphon 24 By a fifth siphon 24, the material strip 7 is guided by the fifth region 43 in a sixth region 44.
- the pressure of the sixth region 44 is 1 bar.
- the liquid in the fifth siphon 24 is a passivation liquid, which passivates the material strip 7 during the discharge.
- the steams formed by the liquid during wetting and cooling of the metal strip 7 pass into the fifth region 43, where they are fed to a capacitor, not shown.
- the significantly higher vapor pressure possible there enables its control by the capacitor, not shown. Since the liquid in Siphon 24 can clearly heat up without exceeding the permitted partial pressure in the fifth region 43, a simple recooling of the liquid is over Cooling medium possible.
- a heat exchanger is interposed.
- FIG. 3 shows a schematic representation of a deflection device 6 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the material band 7 is deflected by a reversing roller 12.
- the reversing roller 12 simultaneously forms a trunk 2 of a siphon 20.
- On the left side of the reversing roller 12 is a compensating tank 9 of the siphon 20 and on the right side of the reversing roller 12 is a connecting region 40 of the siphon 20.
- the reversing roller 12 is placed so that the suspension 13 of the reverse roller 12 does not come into contact with the liquid 3.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic sectional view of a deflection device 6 according to a further preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the deflecting device 6 is designed as a semicircular surface 10.
- the semicircular surface 10 has a plurality of bores which connect an inner volume 100, which is enclosed by the semicircular surface 10 and a wall 15, and an outer volume 1000.
- the semicircular surface 10 forms a turn 2 of a siphon 20 and is immersed in a liquid 3 of the siphon 20.
- a pump 11 pumps the liquid 3 through the bores of the semicircular surface 10 so that a liquid cushion between a strip of material 7, which is passed by the outer volume 1000 on the semicircular surface 10, arises whose pressure the strip tension of the material band 7 at least kom- compensated.
