Definitions
- This invention relates to a cutting device, which is intended for cutting a web produced with a forming machine essentially in the cross direction of the web at the full width, and which cutting device comprises
- the above mentioned forming machines comprise especially .paper and board machines, in which the web needs to be cut in the various stages of web forming and web processing. These stages include for example web coating and calendering. In particular at the final stage of web forming the web has gained such strength that some kind of blade is normally required for cutting. For using and positioning the blade in the forming machine, specific cutting devices have been developed, which allow cutting the web in one go essentially over the full width.
- One known cutting device comprises an open C-beam assembled from a thick steel plate by welding, the beam forming the load bearing frame of the cutting device.
- the beam In the holes arranged in one of the flanges of the C-beam there are additionally fastened several compressed-air boxes functioning as actuators, with a blade fastened thereto. Both the frame and the blade essentially extend over the full web width.
- the C-beam In another embodiment of this cutting device the C-beam is replaced with a robust tubular beam.
- the blade and the piston rod of the compressed-air box are located outside the frame.
- the cutting device also include protective sheets, which collect impurities and are sensitive to damaging.
- the piston rods of the compressed-air boxes are subjected to a high moment of deflection as the web to be cut pushes the blade during the cutting operation. This pushing is caused by the fact that the blade abrades the web gradually cutting it failing to cut it immediately. At the worst the piston rods bend and may even break, in which case the blade movement is prevented or the blade may even completely detach.
- the known cutting devices are laborious to manufacture.
- the weight of the frame for one length unit becomes high, the torsional stiffness remaining, however, insufficient. In these conditions the supporting of the cutting device is demanding, and the frame bends disadvantageously during the web cutting.
- the object of the invention is to provide a novel cutting device, which is lighter in weight, yet more rigid, than heretofore, and more advantageous as regards the blade supporting.
- the novel frame construction provides unequalled lightness and rigidity. In spite of this, the manufacture is simple and economical.
- the actuators and the blade are better protected than heretofore, and yet the total height of the cutting device can be kept lower than before. This is possible for example due to the unexpected positioning of the actuators, enabled by the novel frame construction.
- the solution according to the invention is light in weight, which allows its easy positioning in the forming machine.
- a low weight for one length unit allows manufacturing cutting devices that are longer than heretofore, without producing bending and supporting problems. Furthermore, the blade is well supported in the cutting device, which prevents the harmful conveyance of the moment of deflection to the actuators. Also the blade itself is of a new type.
- Figure 1 shows a cutting device according to the invention adapted in connection with the web
- Figure 2a shows a machine directional view of a part of the cutting device according to the invention in the home position
- Figure 2b shows the part of Figure 2a in the operating position
- Figure 2c shows a part of the blade of the cutting device according to the invention.
- Figure 1 shows the cutting device according to the invention adapted in the vicinity of the web 10.
- the cutting device is designed for cutting the web produced with a forming machine.
- the most common forming machines are paper or board machines.
- the cutting device cuts the web essentially in the cross direction of the web at the full web width.
- web cutting is required in connection with coating and calendering.
- the lengths of the cutting devices naturally depend on the web width.
- the web cutting related to the web forming can be carried out by for example compressed-air blows.
- the cutting device according to the invention can be used in positions where web cutting is required.
- the main components of the cutting device comprise a load bearing frame 11 arranged in the vicinity of the web 10 to be supported to the forming machine.
- the frame construction is described below in greater detail.
- the cutting device includes a blade 12 arranged movable in relation to the frame 11.
- the blade length essentially corresponds with the width of the web to be cut.
- the web is thus cut with a blade, for which the cutting device also comprises actuators 13 for moving the blade 12 and thus for providing the blade's operating movement.
- the actuators 13 are connected to both the blade 12 and the frame 11.
- the frame is unexpectedly composed of a box-type structure made of sheet metal material, which makes the total cutting device light in weight, yet extremely rigid.
- the sheet metal thickness varies from 0.5 to 5 mm, more advantageously from 1 to 3 mm.
- Part of the sheet metal components are removed from the cutting device shown in Figure 1.
- the box-type structure contains two cross-directional and curved sheet metal sections 14 for forming a hollow frame construction 11.
- Each sheet metal section 14 can be made of one piece or formed of several pieces connected to each other. In Figure 1 only a part of the other sheet metal section 14 is seen. The curvature of the sheet metal sections reduces the likelihood of buckling.
- the sheet metal sections 14 of the frame 11 are adapted against each other, and laminar intermediate supports 15 are arranged between them at an interval from each other.
- the intermediate supports are additionally profiled to a curved shape, and in practice, it is these supports that determine the frame profile.
- the sheet metal is easy to machine and profile, which facilitates producing more complicated shapes in the cutting device.
- An example of this is the relief 17 made for the tail threading rope 16 that forms a structural component of the forming machine.
- the sheet metal section and the intermediate supports are preferably laser-cut components. Laser cutting provides a good machining result and excellent dimensional and profile accuracy.
- the sheet metal sections and the intermediate supports are additionally connected to each other by laser welding for forming a box-type structure. This structure is extremely rigid also against torsion. Furthermore, deformations caused by laser welding are non-existent, which allows maintaining the dimensional and profile accuracy achieved by laser welding.
- the actuator has two end positions: the operating position producing the cutting, and the home position opposite thereto.
- the actuator 13 In Figures 1 and 2a the actuator 13 is in its home position, in which case the blade 12 is essentially completely inside the frame 11. This allows positioning the cutting device safely also very close to the web.
- the actuator 13 In Figure 2b the actuator 13 is in its operating position, in which case the blade 12 clearly extends outside the frame 11.
- the web In Figures 2a and 2b the web is illustrated with a dot-and-dash line.
- the space required for inserting the actuators 13 and the blade 12 allows using a lower frame structure 11 than heretofore by attaching the actuators 13 to the intermediate supports 15 described above. That is, the actuators are placed in the center part of the frame instead of the bottom part.
- the actuator 13 is fastened to the intermediate support 15 either directly or by means of a bracket 18 according to the embodiment presented.
- the actuator is easy to fasten to the bracket and can be installed to the intermediate support only after that.
- the intermediate support preferably also comprises holes for inserting the protruding parts arranged in the bracket. This helps avoiding installation errors, and installing the actual mounting screws 19 is easy.
- the brackets are preferably also made of sheet metal, in which case they are ready for installation after cutting and bending.
- the actuator 13 is fastened to each intermediate support 15. If required, the number of the intermediate supports can be higher than that of actuators.
- the supporting of the blade is implemented in a new way.
- the sheet metal sections 14 compri se s one or more pl ate component s 20 de f ining the supporting surface .
- the plate components 20 extend inside the frame structure 11 essentially in the direction of the blade 12 for supporting the blade 12 in the movement direction of the web 10.
- the plate component 20 is preferably bent from the sheet metal section 14 , and this is shown especially in the detail of Figure 1, in which the blade 12 is partly cut across .
- the plate components of the sheet metal plates When placed against each other, the plate components of the sheet metal plates form a slot-like channel for the blade .
- the moment of deflection is subj ected to the frame instead o f the actuato r .
- Thi s helps avoiding deflection and other damage of the actuator piston rod .
- the blade 12 can be supported to the frame 11 also in the operating position of the actuator 13.
- the extension 21 is adapted in such a manner that it extends in the direction of the blade 12 from the fastening point of the actuator 13 towards the frame 11. In this case at least the extension rests against the channel arranged in the frame for the bla de . I n the b l ade 12 , s t epped ext ens ions 21 are preferably used, which allows maintaining the weight of the blade 12 appropriately low .
- the above mentioned plate components 20 are connected to each other at their top edges by means of the intermediate support 22 . This allows keeping the channel always at a correct width without interfering with the blade movement .
- Compres sed air for the actuators 13 which are preferably compressed-air boxes, is supplied via the distribution channel
- the distribution channel 23 is additionally connected to the compressed-air line 24, extending between the two ends of the cutting device, by means of an intermediate pipe 25. This ensures that compressed air is uniformly distributed to the actuators and it can be supplied from either end of the cutting device.
- the distribution channel 23, compressed-air line 24, and the connections 26 are supported to recesses arranged in the intermediate supports 15. In this case separate fasteners are not needed. In practice, the connections are supplied with steam, or heating cables are passed through them.
- the blade is also a component made of sheet metal material by laser cutting.
- the blade 12 has a laser cut indentation 27 at the web 10 side edge. Regardless of the thin sheet metal material, laser cutting allows keeping the blade straight and the indentation sharp. Therefore, after laser cutting the blade is ready to be installed in the cutting device without grinding or other type of machining.
- holes 28 serving as fastening points are also made in the blade 12 for fastening it to the actuators 13 ( Figure 2c) .
- the cutting device is fastened to the forming machine simply at the ends. For this the end parts of the frame 11 are provided with fastening detents, which here are formed of a profiled opening 29 and threaded holes 30.
- a support arm 31, to be attached to the forming machine, is adapted to the fastening detents.
- the frame is arranged longer than the web. This is possible due to the light weight and rigidity of the cutting device as well as the above mentioned reliefs.
- the intermediate supports are arranged at an interval of 800 mm, and the height of the cutting device is approximately 450 mm.
- the weight of the cutting device is 35 kg/m.
- the height of a similar cutting device manufactured according to the prior art technique is approximately 600 mm and the weight is 150 kg/m.
- the cutting device according to the invention is notably smaller and lighter than heretofore.
- the blade thickness is 2 mm and the width is 200 mm, for which the extensions make more than the half.
- the blade is lighter than heretofore.
- the sheet metal material used in the cutting device is either stainless steel or acid-resistant steel.
- the frame 11 additionally includes an installation and service port 32, covered with a suitable cover 33.
- the cutting device according to the invention is easy to adapt to a forming machine. Regardless of the use of the sheet metal material the cutting device is extremely rigid. In addition, the actuators and the blade are protected inside the frame. Due to the channel formed in the frame and the unique blade, the stress subjected to the actuators is slight. This increases the reliability of the cutting device and reduces the risk of damage .
