  • two or more adjacent glide shoes always form one zone, which is controlled by means of a zone-specific hydraulic valve.
  • the number of the glide shoes included in different zones can differ from zone to zone in a way required by a purposeful control of the compression force between the zone roll and its backup roll.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a significant improvement over the prior-art methods for regulation of the nip profile by means of a roll adjustable in zones.
  • the method in accordance with the invention is mainly characterized in that, in the method, a regulation model is used in which substantially all the forces applied to the roll mantle are formed as models each of them separately so that these forces are also treated each of them separately in the regulation process.

  • the present invention provides significant advantages, and of these advantages it is possible to state, among other things, that, by means of the method of regulation in accordance with the present invention, in the regulation of rolls adjustable in zones, a considerably better accuracy is achieved, as compared with earlier solutions, because the model of regulation on which the method of regulation in accordance with the invention is based corresponds to the factual conduct of the constructions better. Besides improved accuracy, it is a further advantage that, when the method of regulation in accordance with the invention is used, it is possible to carry out extensive profiling reliably, and, further, the nips can be operated in curved form.
  • Such curved nips are used commonly, for example, in soft calenders and in OptiLoadTM calenders.

In order that the regulation of the profile in the nip N could be carried out reliably over the entire axial length of the nip, it is, however, important that the bearings 14 have been accomplished so that they permit radial movement of the roll mantle 12 also in the areas of said bearings.

  • a measurement equipment 30 On the run of the web W after the nip N, a measurement equipment 30 has been fitted, by whose means the cross-direction profile of the web W is measured con- stantly in order to find out how well the cross-direction profile aimed at is achieved by means of the set values that have been fed into the zones Z j .. ⁇ and backup zones Za j ...Za 4 in the roll 10 adjustable in zones.

  • the target 51 of linear load or the regulation parameter is, however, not transmitted directly to the regulation and setting device 70 that regulates the set pressures in the zones Z 1 ...Z and in the backup zones Za j ...Za , but this target of linear load, i.e. regulation parameter computed in compliance with the differential profile, or a corresponding control signal is fed into an optimizing part 60, which is included in the closed regulation circuit and which contains an optimizing routine.

  • all forces applied to the roll mantle 12 have been formed as separate models in order that they could also be treated separately.
  • certain factors of non-linearity must be taken into account when the distribution of linear load is computed.
  • Such forces operating in a non-linear way are, among other things, bearing forces whose direction is changed. A change in the direction of bearing forces comes out quite well, for example, in supercalenders, in which running takes place with a what is called zero load or very close to this load.
  • the novel optimizing routine which is employed with the novel computing model, is, besides linear limitations, also capable of dealing with non-linear limitations.
  • One such force that operates in a non-linear way is, for example, a bearing force, as was already stated above, whose response is changed in accordance with whether the direction of the force is towards the nip or away from the nip.
  • a bearing force as was already stated above, whose response is changed in accordance with whether the direction of the force is towards the nip or away from the nip.
  • such a force is illustrated so that just one of the forces can be different from the minimum, for example, in the following way:
  • the optimizing part 60 in addition to the information on the target 51 of linear load computed in accordance with the differential profile, the necessary data 52 are fed, among other things, concerning the bearing forces, the pressures in the backup zones Za j ...Za 4 and their effects on the linear load, etc. Based on these data, the optimizing part 60 computes new set values at the same time for all actuators in order to minimize the overall error of cross-direction profile and the differential profile as well as determines the control necessary for the differential profile at each particular time.
  • the optimizing part 60 takes into account the cross-effects of all actuators, among other things of the zones Z j ...Z 4 in the roll 10, the effects of the backup zones Za ⁇ . -Za ⁇ the effects of bearing forces, etc. and the physical limitations of the actuators, besides the linear limitations also the nonlinear limitations.
  • the optimizing part attempts to take maximal advantage of the whole of the profiling potential of the roll 10 adjustable in zones.
  • the new set values of the actuators are transmitted as input data 61, i.e. as regulation parameters, to the regulation and setting device 70 for regulation of the set pressures for the zones and backup zones.
  • the response of a regulation to a regulation parameter is very precisely known, for which reason, depending on the optimizing routine, i.e. on the quality of the model employed by the optimizing, the speed of regulation can be increased considerably in this way.
  • the required movement of the actuators placed at the regulation locations is determined so that the known profile response of each regulation location, i.e.
  • the change in the cross-direction profile caused by a movement of the actuator is compared with the differential profile prevailing at said regulation location and that corresponding regulation impulses are given to the actuators, while taking into account the cross-effects, physical limitations and, in particular, non-linear limitations of the actuators so as to correct the differential profile.
  • this method it is possible, among other things, to predict a need of profiling after a break and, thus, to shorten the time of recovery after the break.
  • measure- ment of the profile and regulation carried out on the basis of the measurement are carried out during running constantly and without interruption.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une méthode de régulation d'un rouleau réglable par zone, lequel (10) forme une ligne de contact (N) avec un rouleau de support (20). Une bande de papier ou de carton (W) est passée dans la ligne de contact (N) de sorte que le profil sens travers de la bande (W) soit modulé, et la ligne de contact (N) est chargée de manière réglable au moyen de patins hydrauliques (13) qui forment les zones du rouleau (10) réglable par zone. Dans ledit procédé, le profil sens travers de la bande (W) est mesuré constamment après la ligne de contact (N) et un profil différentiel entre le profil sens travers mesuré et le profil sens travers cible est calculé, le profil différentiel étant utilisé en tant que paramètre de régulation dans un circuit de régulation fermé de sorte que le profil de la ligne de contact soit modulé selon la forme voulue. Dans la méthode de l'invention, un modèle de régulation est utilisé, dans lequel sensiblement toutes les forces appliquées au surtout (12) du rouleau sont formées chacune séparément comme des modèles de sorte qu'elles soient traitées également séparément dans le processus de régulation.
