Definitions

  • the present invention relates broadly to paper machines and like separating apparatus, and is more particularly concerned with new and improved ⁇ means having especial utility in the lubrication of a moving belt traveling in supporting contact with the forming wire and suc* tion box in the Fourdrinier type paper machine.
  • the conventional Fourdrinier type paper machine comprises a looped traveling forming wire presenting a forming reach extending from a breast roll, at which t-he stock is ilowed onto the Wire, to a suction couch roll located approximately at the station at which the ⁇ formed web is removed from the wire.
  • Various dewatering devices are mounted lbeneath this reach of the fonming wire, and one common dewatering device is known as a suction box and presents a at perforate top to the bottom side of the wire. The interior of the suction box is exhausted to assist in drawing water from the web through the wire and through the perforations in the flat top of the suction box.
  • a perforated moving belt with solid edges is installed between the traveling Fourdrinier wire and the suction -box covers.
  • the suction box covers conventionally take the form of relatively thin plates having a thickness of the order of one-quarter inch and are attached to the suction boxes by welding techniques. This introduces the likelihood of warpage, and since replacement of the covers requires the paper machine to be shut down, a time-consuming welding operation is obviously disadvantageous. Then too, in one highly successful commercial structure the suction box cover is grooved longitudinally to permit the introduction of a lubricating film along the cover to lubricate the under side of the belt in order to reduce belt wear. While the grooves provide highly effective fluid supply passages, necessarily substantial machining time is required.
  • the suction box cover is punched or otherwise provided with a plurality of transversely spaced rows of holes or openings longitudinally spaced and extending in the direction of wire travel.
  • the openings are preferably countersunk and receive therein passaged fastening means threaded into longitudinally extending conduit means suitably connected to the suction box wall structure.
  • the suction box cover is thereby threadably connected to the box and can 'be readily installed ⁇ and removed.
  • the hole or openings can be merely punched in the cover, resulting in marked reductions in costs.
  • conduit means located along the cover under side provide fluid supply means for the introduction of lubricant through the passaged fastening means to the belt under side.
  • the conduits desirably are transversely spaced and longitudinally extending channel members, and iiuid is introduced therein in any one of a number of different ways.
  • Header means can be provided exteriorly of the suction box at the oncoming and olf-running sides thereof, and such header means may be shaped to guide the traveling perforated belt.
  • the header structure may be located interiorly of the suction box.
  • Another object of this invention lies in the provision of a suction box cover having fluid removal openings therein located for alignment with perforations in a belt traveling over the cover and also having uid supply passages for introducing fluid between the under side of the belt and the top surface of the cover to lubricate the belt during travel thereover, means on the under side of the cover dening a plurality of conduits for supplying fluid to the passages in the cover, apertured means attaching the cover through the fluid supply passages to the conduit means, and means for supplying fluid to the conduits.
  • Still another object of this invention is to provide a suc-v tion box having a cover threadably attached thereto, the attaching means being passaged to admit lubricating fluid to the under side of the moving belt and eliminating all heretofore existing problems resulting from securement of the cover to the box by welding techniques.
  • FIGURE 1 is an essentially diagrammatic elevational view of a paper machine embodying one or more suction boxes constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention
  • FIGURE 2 is an enlarged View of the suction box of FIGUREl
  • FIGURE 3 is an enlarged sectional fragmentary detail view taken substantially along the line IlL-III of FIG- URE 2;
  • FIGURE 4 is a fragmentary detail top plan view of a suction box cover provided in .accordance with this invention.
  • FIGURES 5, 6, 7 and 8 are fragmentary elevational views of various forms of suction box constructions and further illustrating particular arrangements of header means for supplying fluid to the conduit means on the suction box cover under side;
  • FIGURE 9 is an enlarged detail sectional view of the suction box cover, belt traveling thereover, conduit means on the cover under side, and passaged attachment means for securing the cover to the conduit means.
  • FIG- URE 1 a paper machine indicated generally by the reference numeral l0, and comprising a looped forming wire 11 trained over a breast lroll 12, table rolls 13, suction box 14, couch roll 15, a turning -roll 16, and return rolls 17.
  • Stock is deposited on the upper wire run 11a from a head box 18 onto a forming board 18a in the region of the breast roll 12, and the stock is dewatered during its travel on the upper wire run 11a to ⁇ form a web W which is Iremoved ⁇ from the wire 1-1 by a pick up ⁇ felt 19 urged against the web W by a suction pick up roll 2i).
  • a rotary ⁇ belt 2l is interposed between the suction box .14 and the wire run lla, and the belt 21 may be trained over rolls 22 and 23?, the latter of which may be driven or the beit 21 may be driven by the moving forming wire 11.
  • the rolls 22 and 23 are not at all 3 times required, and as well, more than a single suction box 14 can be utilized.
  • the present invention is directed to the suction box 14 featuring an easily formed and readily replaceable passaged top or cover removably secured to conduit means xedly attached to the wall structure of the box.
  • the cover or top is threadably connected to the conduit means by passaged screw means, and the conduit means are further effective to r-igidify the cover.
  • Suitable header means are located at the oncoming and off-coming sides of the suction box 14, and the header means supply fluid to the conduit means for lubrication of the under side of the belt 21 during travel over the suction box top.
  • the structural details of lthe traveling belt 21 shown in the drawings form no part of the instant invention, and only such details thereof are illustrated as are required for an understanding of the present invention. Accordingly, it will be appreciated that other moving belts may be substituted in lieu of the structure shown, and other changes made to various portions of the paper machine 10. However, the moving belt 21 illustrated in some detail in FIGURE 3 has particular advantages over the earlier arrangements.
  • the suction box 114 as constructed in accordance with the principles of this invention comprises a generally rectangular trough-like body portion 30 having opposed side walls 31 and 32 integrally connected to a bottom wall 34, and removable end walls 33, one only of which is shown.
  • the open top of the suction box body portion '30 mounts thereon a cover member 35, the features of which will be later specifically described.
  • the side walls 31 and 32 and bottom wall 34 may mount thereon flange means 36 having bolt receiving openings 36a therein.
  • Gasket means (not shown) are located between the flange means 36 and opposed end walls 33, and the end walls are equipped with mating openings ⁇ for receiving bolt means threaded into the openings 36a,
  • each end wall 33 adjacent the upper end thereof has welded or otherwise secured thereto longitudinally extending beam members 37 of a length generally coextensive with the length of the end Walls.
  • beam members 37 Cooperating with the beam members 37 to conveniently support the cover 35 is a second pair of beam members 38, each having longitudinally spaced openings 38a therein threadably receiving screw means '39.
  • the screw means 39 may be of the same character employed to attach the cover member 35 to conduit means in a manner to be later hereinafter described.
  • the plate member '35 has a plurality of mating coun-tersunk openings 40 therein so that the head of the ⁇ screw means 39 is recessed in the cover member 35.
  • opposed side walls 31 and 32 of the suction box body portion 30 are recessed at the upper ends thereof to provide ledge means 31a and 32a to seat opposite sides of the cover member 35.
  • the at plate-like cover member '35 is equipped with a plurality of transversely spaced rows of drainage openings or perforations 42 running and spaced longitudinally in the direction of wire travel indicated by the arrow 43.
  • the perforations 42 open into the interior of the suction box 14, and conveniently the opposed end walls 33 of the box may be passaged at 33a to receive branch conduits 64a and 64b connected as is shown diagrammatically to a main conduit 65 leading to exhaust means in the form of a pump 44.
  • the suction box top or cover 35 has land areas 45 intermediate the perforations 42 and providing a lubricant receiving surface whereby the traveling belt 21 is carried by a fluid film during travel along the suction box cover.
  • the land areas 45 between the rows of perforations 42 are apertured as at 46 in countersunk configuration to receive therein passaged attaching means 47 threadably connecting the cover member 35 to roof portion 50a of conduit means 50, the further features -of which will be later noted.
  • the passages or perforations 46 extend from near the olf-running edge of the suction box cover '35 to near the oncoming edge, and in common with the land areas 45 and perforations 42, extend longitudinally in the direction of wire travel.
  • header structures for supplying water or other suitable lubricant to the passaged attaching means 47 will he shortly described, however, it should be emphasized at the present moment that ⁇ water ows upwardly in and outwardly from axial passages 47a (FIGURE 9) in the attaching means 47 in generally the maner indicated by the arrows 4S in FIGURE 4.
  • the ow as illustrated in FIGURE 4 is very slight and is controlled by the pressure of the belt 21 against the land areas 45, however, the flow is sufficient to lubricate the rubber belt 21 and to prevent dragging Ithereof over the dry land areas 45.
  • the belt is thereby supported during its travel along ⁇ the suction box top 35 by a water film.
  • the belt 21 is provided with perforations or drainage holes 21a, as indicated in FIGURES 3 and 9, and said holes are so located in the traveling belt that they do not align themselves with the passages 47a in the attaching screw means 47 communicating with the conduit means 59. In this way, water is not forced back up through the drainage holes 21a. Instead, the drainage holes 21a periodically align themselves with the perforations 42 in the suction box cover 35.
  • the bottom side of the belt 21 has, of course, a number of openings therein formed by the drainage holes 21a.
  • water is urged into the passages 47a under slight pressure to effect continuous seepage of water between the faces of the land areas 2lb and 45, this seepage being necessary to prevent the rubber belt 21 from wiping the land areas 45 dry, and thereby increasing the frictional drag.
  • the seepage of water is very slight so as not to overload the water removal system for the suction box 14.
  • the top side of the belt 21 is preferably provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced laterally extending grooves or channels 21C, one of which is shown in FIG- URE 3.

  • the guide means 49 may be spaced along the length of the suction box cover 35 or run continuously therealong, but in any event, the guide means 49 are effective to maintain the moving belt 21 in a straight line path during travel along the suction box top 35.
  • each of the hollow or passaged attachment means 47 is provided with a head portion 47b seated in a relatively shallow and larger diameter portion 46a of the countersunk openings 46 in the plate member 35, each attachment member 47 further being shaped with a reduced diameter stem portion 47C threadably engageable with the roof portion Sila of each conduit means 50.
  • the passaged screw means 47 provide an effective attachment of the suction box corver 35 to the conduit means Sti, and as well, are in fluid communication with the conduit means Sti to provide Huid flow paths from the interior of the conduit means to the unde-r side of the -belt 2l.
