Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine du cardage, et porte en particulier sur un dispositif de cardage comprenant un dispositif de nettoyage de peigneur.The present invention relates to the field of carding, and relates in particular to a carding device comprising a device for cleaning a doffer.

Alimentées en fibres brutes, les machines de cardage fournissent un voile non-tissé dont les impuretés (telles que les fibres courtes et les poussières) sont éliminées.When fed with raw fibers, carding machines provide a nonwoven web whose impurities (such as short fibers and dusts) are eliminated.

Une machine de cardage classique comporte un tambour principal doté d'un revêtement hérissé de pointes pour l'opération de cardage proprement dite et alimenté en fibres brutes par l'intermédiaire d'un cylindre alimentaire, et un peigneur qui est un cylindre positionné contre le tambour principal et configuré pour récupérer les fibres travaillées sur le tambour principal afin de créer un voile non tissé.A conventional carding machine has a main drum with a spiky coating for the actual carding operation and fed with raw fibers through a food roll, and a doffer which is a cylinder positioned against the main drum and configured to recover the fibers worked on the main drum to create a nonwoven web.

Les fibres délicates telles que les fibres naturelles et les fibres de verre ont tendance à casser et à larguer de la poussière et des impuretés lors du processus de cardage. Cette poussière et ces impuretés se mettent au fond des garnitures des différents cylindres de la machine de cardage, ce qui est particulièrement pénalisant en ce qui concerne la garniture du peigneur. En effet, le peigneur, qui est le cylindre qui permet la création du voile, est l'élément essentiel concernant la qualité du produit. Lorsque la garniture du peigneur s'encrasse, notamment avec la poussière et/ou des impuretés, dans le cadre du cardage de fibres délicates, le voile produit est inhomogène et présente des trous. Il est alors nécessaire d'arrêter la ligne de production pour nettoyer le peigneur.Delicate fibers such as natural fibers and glass fibers tend to break and drop dust and impurities during the carding process. This dust and these impurities are placed at the bottom of the lining of the various cylinders of the carding machine, which is particularly penalizing with regard to the filling of the doffer. Indeed, the doffer, which is the cylinder that allows the creation of the veil, is the essential element concerning the quality of the product. When the lining of the dye gets dirty, especially with dust and / or impurities, as part of the carding of delicate fibers, the haze produced is inhomogeneous and has holes. It is then necessary to stop the production line to clean the doffer.

La présente invention vise à résoudre les inconvénients de l'état antérieur de la technique, en proposant un dispositif de cardage comprenant un dispositif de nettoyage de peigneur, ledit dispositif de nettoyage de peigneur permettant un nettoyage automatique et permanent du peigneur du dispositif de cardage, ce qui permet de créer un voile de qualité supérieure, et ce qui permet une augmentation de la production avec moins d'arrêts de ligne pour cause de nettoyage.The present invention aims at solving the drawbacks of the prior art by proposing a carding device comprising a device for cleaning a comb, said device for cleaning a combing device enabling automatic and permanent cleaning of the combing device of the carding device. which allows to create a veil of higher quality, and which allows an increase of the production with less stops of line for cause of cleaning.

La présente invention a donc pour objet un dispositif de cardage, comprenant un tambour principal et un peigneur d'axe parallèle à celui du tambour principal et positionné contre le tambour principal et en aval du tambour principal dans le sens de circulation des fibres, le sens de rotation du peigneur étant opposé à celui du tambour principal, caractérisé par le fait que le dispositif de cardage comprend en outre un dispositif de nettoyage de peigneur comprenant un cylindre de récupération de poussières d'axe parallèle à celui du tambour principal et positionné contre le peigneur et un cylindre nettoyeur d'axe parallèle à celui du tambour principal et positionné à la fois contre le cylindre de récupération de poussières et contre le tambour principal, le sens de rotation du cylindre de récupération de poussières étant identique à celui du peigneur, et le sens de rotation du cylindre nettoyeur étant identique à celui du cylindre de récupération de poussières.The subject of the present invention is therefore a carding device, comprising a main drum and a doffer with an axis parallel to that of the main drum and positioned against the main drum and downstream of the main drum in the direction of flow of the fibers, the meaning characterized in that the carding device further comprises a device for cleaning a doffer comprising a dust recovery cylinder having an axis parallel to that of the main drum and positioned against the main drum. comb and a cleaning cylinder axis parallel to that of the main drum and positioned both against the dust recovery cylinder and against the main drum, the direction of rotation of the dust recovery cylinder being identical to that of the doffer, and the direction of rotation of the cleaning cylinder being identical to that of the dust recovery cylinder res.

Le transfert de poussières et d'impuretés entre le cylindre de récupération de poussières et le cylindre nettoyeur se fait par un jeu d'angles sur les garnitures de ces cylindres.The transfer of dust and impurities between the dust collection cylinder and the cleaning cylinder is done by a set of angles on the liners of these cylinders.

Ainsi, le dispositif de nettoyage de peigneur permet un nettoyage automatique et permanent du peigneur du dispositif de cardage, ce qui permet de créer un voile de qualité supérieure homogène et sans trou.Thus, the comb cleaning device allows automatic and permanent cleaning of the comb of the carding device, which allows to create a veil of superior quality homogeneous and without hole.

Le cylindre de récupération de poussières est configuré pour récupérer les poussières présentes au fond de la garniture du peigneur, et le cylindre nettoyeur est configuré pour récupérer automatiquement et au fur et à mesure les poussières sur le cylindre de récupération de poussières pour ensuite les renvoyer sur le tambour principal.The dust collection cylinder is configured to recover the dust present at the bottom of the comb lining, and the cleaning cylinder is configured to automatically recover dust as it goes along the dust collection cylinder and then return it to the main drum.

Ainsi, les poussières et les impuretés contenues dans le fond de la garniture du peigneur sont emportées par le cylindre de récupération de poussières puis par le cylindre nettoyeur qui permet un nettoyage constant du cylindre de récupération de poussières, le tambour principal reprenant enfin ces poussières et impuretés.Thus, the dust and impurities contained in the bottom of the lining of the doffer are carried by the dust recovery cylinder and then by the cleaning cylinder which allows a constant cleaning of the dust recovery cylinder, the main drum finally taking up these dusts and impurities.

Il est à noter que le dispositif de cardage pourrait également comprendre un cylindre alimentaire disposé contre le tambour principal en amont de celui-ci dans le sens de circulation des fibres, sans s'écarter du cadre de la présente invention.It should be noted that the carding device could also include a food cylinder disposed against the main drum upstream thereof in the direction of flow of the fibers, without departing from the scope of the present invention.

Les axes des différents cylindres du dispositif de cardage sont entraînés en rotation par tout dispositif approprié, par exemple un ou plusieurs moteurs entraînant un ensemble de courroies.The axes of the various cylinders of the carding device are rotated by any appropriate device, for example one or more motors driving a set of belts.

Les sens de rotation des différents cylindres du dispositif de cardage permettent le passage automatique des poussières du peigneur au tambour principal.The directions of rotation of the various cylinders of the carding device allow the automatic passage of the dust from the dancer to the main drum.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le cylindre de récupération de poussières et le cylindre nettoyeur sont disposés au-dessus du peigneur.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the dust collection cylinder and the cleaning cylinder are arranged above the doffer.

Ainsi, cela permet de faciliter le passage des poussières du peigneur au tambour principal.Thus, it facilitates the passage of dusts from the dancer to the main drum.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le cylindre de récupération de poussières possède une garniture souple ou rigide, de préférence souple.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the dust recovery cylinder has a flexible or rigid lining, preferably flexible.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le tambour principal, le peigneur et le cylindre nettoyeur possèdent chacun une garniture rigide. Le cylindre nettoyeur peut également avoir une garniture souple.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the main drum, the doffer and the cleaning cylinder each have a rigid lining. The cleaning cylinder may also have a soft liner.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, la garniture de chacun du tambour principal et du cylindre nettoyeur possède des dents inclinées dans le sens de rotation de l'élément associé, et la garniture de chacun du cylindre de récupération de poussières et du peigneur possède des dents inclinées dans le sens opposé au sens de rotation de l'élément associé.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the lining of each of the main drum and the cleaning cylinder has teeth inclined in the direction of rotation of the associated element, and the lining of each of the dust collection cylinder and the doffer possesses teeth inclined in the direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the associated element.

Avantageusement, les dents de la garniture du cylindre de récupération de poussières sont plus longues que les dents de la garniture du peigneur, pour au minimum pénétrer le haut des dents de la garniture du peigneur pour nettoyer celles-ci.Advantageously, the teeth of the lining of the dust collection cylinder are longer than the teeth of the lining of the doffer, to at least penetrate the top of the teeth of the lining of the doffer to clean them.

Avantageusement, les dents de la garniture du cylindre nettoyeur sont plus longues que les dents de la garniture du cylindre de récupération de poussières, pour au minimum pénétrer le haut des dents de la garniture du cylindre de récupération de poussières pour nettoyer celles-ci.Advantageously, the teeth of the lining of the cleaning cylinder are longer than the teeth of the liner of the dust collection cylinder, to at least penetrate the top of the teeth of the lining of the dust recovery cylinder to clean them.

Ainsi, les dents des garnitures du tambour principal sont inclinées dans le sens de circulation des fibres.Thus, the teeth of the main drum linings are inclined in the direction of flow of the fibers.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le dispositif de cardage comprend en outre un cylindre détacheur positionné contre le peigneur et en aval du peigneur dans le sens de circulation des fibres.According to one particular characteristic of the invention, the carding device further comprises a detaching cylinder positioned against the doffer and downstream of the doffer in the direction of circulation of the fibers.

Ainsi, le cylindre détacheur est configuré pour détacher le voile de non-tissé à partir du peigneur.Thus, the detaching cylinder is configured to detach the nonwoven web from the doffer.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le diamètre du peigneur est inférieur à celui du tambour principal.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the diameter of the doffer is smaller than that of the main drum.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le diamètre du cylindre de récupération de poussières est inférieur à celui du peigneur.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the diameter of the dust recovery cylinder is smaller than that of the doffer.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le diamètre du cylindre nettoyeur est inférieur à celui du cylindre de récupération de poussières.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the diameter of the cleaning cylinder is smaller than that of the dust recovery cylinder.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, le diamètre du tambour principal peut être compris entre 1200 et 1500 mm, le diamètre du peigneur peut être compris entre 500 et 700 mm, le diamètre du cylindre de récupération de poussières peut être compris entre 200 et 350 mm, et le diamètre du cylindre nettoyeur peut être compris entre 100 et 200 m.By way of non-limiting example, the diameter of the main drum may be between 1200 and 1500 mm, the diameter of the doffer may be between 500 and 700 mm, the diameter of the dust recovery cylinder may be between 200 and 350 mm, and the diameter of the cleaning cylinder can be between 100 and 200 m.

Il est bien entendu que ces dimensions ne sont données qu'à titre d'exemple, l'homme du métier sachant adapter les dimensions des différents éléments en fonction du voile de non-tissé à obtenir.It is understood that these dimensions are given only by way of example, the person skilled in the art knowing how to adapt the dimensions of the different elements as a function of the nonwoven web to be obtained.

Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, la vitesse de rotation du cylindre nettoyeur est supérieure est à celle du cylindre de récupération de poussières et inférieure à celle du tambour principal.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, the rotational speed of the cleaning cylinder is greater than that of the dust recovery cylinder and less than that of the main drum.

Ainsi, la vitesse supérieure du cylindre nettoyeur par rapport au cylindre de récupération de poussières permet de récupérer davantage de poussières sur le cylindre de récupération de poussières. De plus, la vitesse du cylindre nettoyeur n'est jamais supérieure à celle du tambour principal afin de permettre la récupération des poussières par le tambour principal.Thus, the higher speed of the cleaning cylinder with respect to the dust collection cylinder makes it possible to recover more dust on the dust collection cylinder. In addition, the speed of the cleaning cylinder is never greater than that of the main drum to allow the recovery of dust by the main drum.

A titre d'exemple non limitatif, la vitesse de rotation du tambour principal peut être comprise entre 750 et 1100 tour/min, la vitesse de rotation du peigneur peut être comprise entre 20 et 250 tour/min, la vitesse de rotation du cylindre de récupération de poussières peut être comprise entre 50 et 300 tour/min, la vitesse de rotation du cylindre nettoyeur peut être comprise entre 50 et 400 tour/min, et la vitesse de rotation du cylindre détacheur peut être comprise entre 50 et 400 tour/min.By way of non-limiting example, the rotation speed of the main drum can be between 750 and 1100 rev / min, the speed of rotation of the doffer can be between 20 and 250 rev / min, the speed of rotation of the cylinder of dust recovery can be between 50 and 300 rev / min, the rotation speed of the cleaning cylinder can be between 50 and 400 rev / min, and the rotational speed of the stripping cylinder can be between 50 and 400 rev / min .

Il est bien entendu que ces vitesses ne sont données qu'à titre d'exemple, l'homme du métier sachant adapter les vitesses de rotation des différents éléments en fonction du voile de non-tissé à obtenir.It is understood that these speeds are given by way of example, the skilled person knowing adapt the rotational speeds of the various elements according to the nonwoven web to obtain.
