Definitions

  • the invention relates to a blade arrangement in the cutting roll of the sheet cutter of a pulp drying machine, which cutting roll includes a roll shell recess comprising a counter surface for the blade arrangement and first fasteners for fastening the blade arrangement to the counter surface of the cutting roll, which blade arrangement includes:
  • the invention also relates to a cross-cutting device of the sheet cutter of a pulp drying machine.
  • the fibre web is cut using a sheet cutter both in the longitudinal direction and in the cross direction of the fibre web to form pulp sheets.
  • a cross-cutting device can be used for the cross-directional cutting of the fibre web, where the cutting roll of the cross-cutting device, while the cutting roll is rotating, cuts the fibre web when the cutting blade included in the cutting roll coincides with the fibre web that is against the counter piece of the cross-cutting device.
  • the cutting blade penetrates in the radial direction of the cutting roll directly into the recess so that it can be adjusted irrespective of the guide strip.
  • the cutting blade either remains at a distance from the counter piece or touches it to cut a pulp sheet from the fibre web.
  • the cutting blade wears gradually and must be replaced to maintain a sufficient operating reliability of the cross-cutting device.
  • WO 93/23215 describes a cutting roll in a paper web cutting device, wherein two knifes are superimposed on a roll shell.
  • US 6 263 775 B1 describes a blade arrangement in a cutting roll of a cross cutter for cutting running webs of paper, cardboard, metallic foil, plastic foil or the like.
  • the blade arrangement includes an elongated cutting blade adapted to be fastened in the recess of the cutting roll.
  • An elongated guide strip supports the cutting blade against a counter surface, with the guide strip having openings for fasteners.
  • the fasteners have a head for fastening the guide strip in the recess by means of the fasteners passing through openings in the guide strip. Adjustment elements allow positioning the guide strip in the recess.
  • the guide strip is adapted to lock the cutting blade between the guide strip and the counter surface by means of form-locking frictional and/or mechanical engagement.
  • Prior art further includes a blade arrangement of a cutting roll, known by the name Valmet Cross CutterTM, which includes a guide strip, a cutting blade, adjustment elements for the guide strip and the cutting blade, and fasteners for fastening the guide strip and the cutting blade in the recess of the roll shell of the cutting roll.
  • Valmet Cross CutterTM which includes a guide strip, a cutting blade, adjustment elements for the guide strip and the cutting blade, and fasteners for fastening the guide strip and the cutting blade in the recess of the roll shell of the cutting roll.
  • Valmet Cross CutterTM which includes a guide strip, a cutting blade, adjustment elements for the guide strip and the cutting blade, and fasteners for fastening the guide strip and the cutting blade in the recess of the roll shell of the cutting roll.
  • the replacement of the cutting blade requires the removal of the fasteners, because each fastener penetrates both the guide strip and the cutting blade, with the cutting blade being between the guide strip and the recess.
  • the guide strip and the cutting blade
  • Another problem of the blade arrangement according to the above-mentioned prior art is that it is difficult to make the cutting blade, which has been made from a hard material to improve wear resistance, to stay in place for a length of time despite a great tightening torque of the fasteners. So that the cutting blade can be adjusted relative to the guide strip, the cutting blade must have openings that are larger than the diameter of the fasteners. Such openings enable the movement of the cutting blade relative to the fasteners, at least in the radial direction of the cutting roll. Even though the fasteners are tightened to a great torque, the tightening of the fasteners becomes gradually loose as a result of the vibration of the cutting roll. In this case, the cutting blade is able to move relative to the guide strip, and the functioning of the cutting roll is deteriorated.
  • the object of the present invention is to accomplish a blade arrangement that is more reliable and easier, in terms of the replacement of the cutting blade, than prior art blade arrangements.
  • the characteristic features of the present invention will be more fully understood from claim 1.
  • Another object of the present invention is to accomplish a cross-cutting device that is more reliable and easier, in terms of the replacement of the cutting blade, than prior art cross-cutting devices of the sheet cutter of a pulp drying machine.
  • the characteristic features of the present invention will be more fully understood from claim 5.
  • the object of the invention can be attained by means of a blade arrangement in the cutting roll of the sheet cutter of a pulp drying machine, which cutting roll includes a roll shell recess comprising a counter surface for the blade arrangement and first fasteners for fastening the blade arrangement to the counter surface of the cutting roll.
  • the blade arrangement includes an elongated cutting blade for cutting a pulp sheet, adapted to be fastened in the recess of the cutting roll, an elongated guide strip adapted to support the cutting blade against the counter surface, with the guide strip comprising openings for fasteners, fasteners comprising a head for fastening the guide strip to the counter surface by means of the fasteners through the openings in the guide strip, and adjustment elements for positioning the guide strip in the radial direction of the cutting roll.
  • the invention is characterised by the fact that the guide strip includes a longitudinal blade recess of the cutting blade, formed on the side opposite to the guide strip relative to the head of each fastener, adapted to lock the cutting blade between the guide strip and the counter surface by means of friction locking.
  • the cutting blade Due to the blade recess, the cutting blade can be locked with friction locking by pressing with the guide strip against the counter surface, without the use of fasteners that penetrate the cutting blade.
  • the guide strip can be supported directly to the counter surface.
  • the fasteners are only opened so much that the compression between the guide strip and the cutting blade can be removed, in which case the cutting blade can be pulled off from between the guide strip and the counter surface.
  • the blade arrangement according to the invention also has a simpler structure than the prior art blade arrangement, which reduces the manufacturing costs.
  • prior art it has been necessary to make openings in the hard cutting blade for fasteners, and this has been a laborious work stage. Now this work stage is omitted.
  • the cutting blade is advantageously an unperforated piece. Such piece is easier to manufacture from a hard material than a prior art cutting blade comprising holes.
  • the blade recess includes a friction surface in the direction of the plane of the guide strip, adapted to support the cutting blade against the counter surface, and a bottom surface that is at an angle relative to the friction surface, adapted to support the cutting blade in the direction of the plane of the guide strip.
  • each opening is advantageously 120 - 300% of the diameter of the fastener to position the guide strip in the radial direction of the cutting roll. This enables a movement of the guide strip in the radial direction of the cutting roll while the fasteners remain in place, locked to the first fasteners of the counter surface, advantageously to counter threads.
  • each opening in the guide strip is a slot, the longitudinal direction of which is in the radial direction of the cutting roll to position the guide strip in the radial direction of the roll. Slots also enable a movement of the guide strip in the radial direction of the cutting roll while the fasteners remain in place, locked to the first fasteners of the counter surface.
  • the cutting blade includes two support surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the cutting blade, adapted to be set against the guide strip and the counter surface, and two edge surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the cutting blade, each edge surface of which has one blade edge, with the edge surfaces being parallel, enabling the turning of the cutting blade 180° around its longitudinal axis to replace the cutting blade edge.
  • the cutting blade advantageously includes two support surfaces in the longitudinal direction of the cutting blade, adapted to be set against the guide strip and the counter surface, and two edge surfaces of the cutting blade, which support surfaces and edge surfaces are uniform and continuous planar surfaces.
  • the cutting blade does not include openings or recesses for fastening.
  • the cutting blade can be manufactured easily, and particularly hard materials can be used in manufacture.
  • the cutting blade extends radially 1 - 5 mm farther from the centre point of the cutting roll than what the guide strip does.
  • the cutting blade detaches the cut pulp sheet from the blade arrangement of the cutting roll, and the pulp sheet cannot adhere to the guide strip.
  • a so-called "kick plate” is formed in the blade arrangement.
  • the adjustment elements are advantageously adjustment bolts and adjustment nuts movable over them, which nuts are adapted to be tightened against the recess to accomplish a support of the guide strip in the radial direction of the cutting roll.
  • the roughness of the friction surface of the guide strip can be 1.6 - 10 Ra, advantageously 3.2 - 7 Ra.
  • the surface roughness of the cutting blade in a surface that sets against the friction surface of the guide strip is 5 - 7 Ra.
  • the surface roughness of both the guide strip and the cutting blade matters so that the friction locking can be made reliable by a reasonable tightening torque of the fasteners.
  • the tightening torque of the fasteners can be 250 Nm - 330 Nm, advantageously 270 - 300 Nm.
  • the maximum tightening torque is determined by the yield limit of the fasteners.
  • each edge surface in the cutting blade includes a bevel that forms a blade edge
  • the guide strip includes a second counter surface that corresponds to the bevel to support the cutting blade in the radial direction of the roll. Due to the second bevel surface, a sufficiently large support surface is obtained between the guide strip and the cutting blade so that the cutting blade can be supported firmly against the guide strip in the radial direction of the cutting roll.
  • the depth of the blade recess of the guide strip in the longitudinal direction of the adjustment elements can be 2 - 4 mm smaller, advantageously 3 mm smaller than the depth of the cutting blade in the longitudinal direction of the adjustment elements.
  • the cutting blade protrudes 2 - 4 mm farther in the radial direction of the cutting roll than what the guide strip does, preventing the adhering of the fibre web to the guide strip when the fibre web is being cut.
  • the object of the cross-cutting device according to the invention can be achieved by the cross-cutting device of the sheet cutter of a pulp drying machine, which cross-cutting device includes a stationary counter piece and a rotating cutting roll.
  • the cutting roll includes a body comprising two ends, adjustable bearing housings adapted at each end for adjusting the distance between the cutting roll and the counter piece, a roll shell adapted around the body, with the roll shell comprising at least one recess for the blade arrangement and first fasteners for fastening the blade arrangement to the counter surface included in the recess of the roll shell, and a blade arrangement for cutting the fibre web into pulp sheets.
  • the blade arrangement includes an elongated cutting blade for cutting a pulp sheet, adapted to be fastened in the recess of the cutting roll, an elongated guide strip adapted to support the cutting blade against the counter surface, with the guide strip comprising openings for fasteners, fasteners comprising a head for fastening the guide strip to the counter surface through an opening in each guide strip, and adjustment elements for positioning the guide strip in the radial direction of the cutting roll.
  • the guide strip includes a blade recess in the longitudinal direction of the cutting blade, formed on the side opposite to the guide strip relative to the head of the fastener, adapted to lock the cutting blade between the guide strip and the counter surface by means of friction locking.
  • the cutting device according to the invention also achieves the advantage that the position of the cutting blade relative to the guide strip does not need to be adjusted so as to compensate for the wear of the cutting blade.
  • the wear of the cutting blade is compensated for by transferring the entire cutting roll relative to the counter piece by means of transferrable bearing housings.
  • Each cutting blade advantageously includes two blade arrangements adapted on opposite sides of the cutting roll. This keeps the speed of rotation of the cutting roll moderate.
  • the cutting roll advantageously includes second counter threads in the radial direction of the cutting roll for fastening the adjustment elements to the recess of the cutting roll.
  • the adjustment elements can be fastened to the body of the roll by means of threaded holes.
  • the guide strip can be pushed out by means of the smooth head of the bolt of the adjustment element. If it is necessary to make the guide strip move inwards, the fastening bolts are loosened and the guide strip is pushed inwards.
  • the blade arrangement according to the invention is suitable for use either in new pulp drying machines as a cross-cutting device according to the invention or as retrofitted in existing pulp drying machined as a blade arrangement according to the invention.
  • the blade arrangement according to the invention replaces a prior art blade arrangement without a need to modify the other surrounding structures, or at the most with minimum changes.
  • the cutting blade does not require separate adjustment of its own; instead, the adjustment of the guide strip alone is sufficient, when the location between the guide strip and the cutting blade remains constant. In this case, the optimum location of the cutting blade can be adjusted mainly by adjusting the guide strip, while the remainder of the adjustment comes from the adjustable bearing housings of the cutting roll.
  • a cross-cutting device 11 and a blade arrangement 10 according to the invention are part of a pulp drying machine 100.
  • Figure 1 only shows part of a pulp drying machine 100, more specifically the press section 110, cutting section 112 and sheet layer section 114 of the dryer.

  • the blade arrangements 10 coincide with the counter piece 104 on every rotation, in which case, when the blade arrangement 10 and the counter piece 104 coincide with each other, the fibre web that remains between them is cut in the cross direction of the web.
  • the cutting can take place when the blade arrangement 10 is in contact with the counter piece 104, or more advantageously when the blade arrangement 10 is sufficiently close to the counter piece 104 without a contact between these.
  • the correct distance depends on the properties, such as grammage, raw material and running speed, of the fibre web to be cut.
  • each bearing housing 48 of the cutting roll 12 can be, for example, bolted to the frame to lock the cutting roll 12 into place.
  • each bearing housing 48 includes adjustment means 62, by means of which the distance of the blade arrangement 10 from the counter piece can be fine-adjusted.
  • the adjustment means 62 can be, for example, a trapezoidal screw, with which an adjustment of 1/60 mm is achieved.
  • the adjustment means can be fully similar to those used in prior art cutting rolls. The adjustment typically needed is only 5 - 10 hundredths of a millimetre, which is caused by the wear of the cutting blade.
  • Each bearing housing can further include a measuring plate to indicate the adjustment, with an eccentric indicating the transfer of the bearing.
  • FIG 3 shows the cutting roll 12 of the cross-cutting device according to the invention in more detail, separately without the bearing housings.
  • the cutting roll 12 includes a body 44 and two ends 46, from which the cutting roll 12 is supported to the frame of the pulp drying machine by means of bearing housings.

  • the protrusion of the guide strip 24 in the radial direction of the cutting roll 12 can be adjusted, and at the same time also the location of the cutting blade 22 in the radial direction of the cutting roll 12 can be adjusted.
  • the positioning of the cutting blade 22 in the radial direction of the cutting roll 12 is only done by moving the guide strip while the positioning between the guide strip and the cutting blade is stationary.
  • the positioning of the guide strip 24 by means of the adjustment bolts 70 that serve as adjustment elements 32 and by means of the adjustment nuts 72 that are adapted on threads over them takes place by turning the adjustment nuts 72, in which case the guide strip, which is supported against them in the radial direction of the cutting roll 12, moves radially either outwards or inwards.
  • the adjustment elements 32 can be fastened to the body of the cutting roll 12 by threaded holes.
  • the recess that is formed in the cutting roll, and the counter surface, cutting blade and guide strip have a slightly spiral shape in the longitudinal direction between the ends of the cutting roll. In other words, they have a twist, and there is a pitch between the ends.
  • the plane of the guide strip points to a slightly different direction perpendicularly from the surface of the roll shell of the cutting roll at one end of the cutting roll as compared to the other end. Due to the spirality, when the blade arrangement of the cutting roll coincides with the counter piece while the cutting roll is rotating, the cutting of the fibre web takes place at a slightly different time at the different ends of the cutting roll, like scissors cutting.
  • the spirality is also disclosed by the cross sections of Figures 5 and 6 .
  • the friction surface of the guide strip and the counter surface are advantageously machined to a suitable smoothness for accomplishing a sufficient friction force in the radial direction of the cutting roll by tightening the fasteners.
  • the roughness of the friction surface of the guide strip and of the counter surface can be 1.6 - 10 Ra, advantageously 3.2 - 7 Ra.
  • the surface roughness of the cutting blade in a surface that settles against the friction surface of the guide strip is 5 - 7 Ra. Due to the machined surfaces, no separate shoulders or grooves are needed in the friction surface and in the cutting blade to achieve sufficient friction.
  • the sides of the cutting blade which sides are in the direction of the plane of the friction surface of the guide strip and of the counter surface, are straight.
  • the material used in the cutting blade is advantageously of powder steel, but can also be of high-chromium steel. Powder steel is more expensive than high-chromium steel, but also more durable.
  • the manufacturing cost of the cutting blade is considerably smaller than the costs arising in the replacement of the cutting blade while the pulp drying machine is at a standstill, which is why a more durable material is preferred in the cutting blade so as to extend the interval between service shutdowns.
  • the guide strip and the counter surface can be of, for example, unhardened tool steel or similar.
  • the installation and replacement of the blade arrangement and the cross-cutting device according to the invention take place in the following stages.
  • the guide strip is fastened first against the counter surface by installing the fasteners through the openings in the guide strip and by tightening the fasteners to the fastening elements only so as to keep the guide strip in the recess.
  • the bearing housings of the cutting roll are adjusted to the zero position.
  • the cutting blade is installed between the guide strip and the counter surface, and the fasteners are tightened to a torque of 50 Nm.
  • the cutting roll is rotated so that the blade arrangement settles against the counter piece, in which case the need for blade adjustment can be seen.
  • the adjustment elements are used for adjusting the position of the guide strip and the cutting blade relative to the counter piece to be suitable, by turning the adjustment nuts that serve as adjustment elements. Finally, the fasteners are tightened to their final tightening torque to lock the cutting blade.
  • the tightening torque can be 250 - 330 Nm.
