Definitions

  • the classic card is a tambour from which the batt is removed at one or more points.
  • Each layer of batt is separately compressed and subsequently relined or only loosely placed on top of one another on a removal device, for example a conveyor belt.
  • EP 0661394 B1 describes a carding machine in which the doubling and compression of the fibrous webs takes place on the first or second upsetting roll.
  • the carding has the disadvantage that after the spool for each layer of batt, at least one random roller, a doffer and two edging rollers are arranged one behind the other, which increases the dimensions of the carding.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a short-build card with a high carding performance and a good connection of the batt layers with each other.
  • the carding for the production of nonwoven fabric from fibrous material comprises at least one drum with at least two downstream in the working direction arranged pickup rollers.
  • the carding machine further comprises an upsetting roller which is in operative connection with all the payroll rollers arranged downstream of the drum, the carding machine being designed to transfer at least two layers of fiber webs to the upsetting roller by means of the at least two pickup rollers, each of the at least two layers of web being fed by the upsetting roller compressed separately and combined on the compression roll to form a single layer of batt and this layer is pulled on batt by means of a transfer roller for further processing at an outlet side of the carding.
  • the invention is characterized in that the compression roll has a diameter of at least 600 mm. Due to the fact that the circumferential speed of the compression roll is smaller than the peripheral speed of the lower and upper doffer rolls, there is a compression and doubling of the at least two layers of batt before the removal device within the carding. Normally, enlarging the roll diameter would increase the overall length of the clutter. Surprisingly, it has been found that several advantages are associated with the enlargement of the roll diameter. On the one hand, space was created for transferring several layers of batt onto the squeegee roll with several and larger pickup rollers. Subsequently, therefore, could be dispensed with at least one roller and one or two other acceptance devices, which shortens the length of the carding. This also eliminates bearings, drives and the associated synchronization, which simplifies the operation of the carding in particular with regard to the control.
  • Another advantage is that due to the increased diameter of the compression roll to at least 600 mm their peripheral speed and thus the centrifugal forces decrease, so that the fiber fly can be reduced.
  • a further reduction of the fiber fly can advantageously be achieved with an increase in diameter of the compression roll to a diameter of at least 800 mm.
  • This size is also advantageous in view of the geometric arrangement of the upstream doffer rollers, as these can be increased thereby.
  • the enlargement of the compression roll to at least 800 mm diameter creates the possibility that up to six doffer rollers each compress or stretch one ply or layer of fluff separately with the compression roll, and these separate plies or layers of fluff are brought together and doubled on the compression roll.
  • the specified diameters relate to the roll diameter without the mounted set.
  • the working direction of the transport path of the fibers from the inlet side over the spool to the outlet side is considered.
  • the stripper rollers have a diameter of at least 350 mm, preferably at least 380 mm, more preferably at least 400 mm.
  • the enlargement of the doffer rolls in diameter reduces the peripheral speed with which the batt is transported. Reducing the peripheral speed reduces the centrifugal force acting on the fibers. The fiber fly is thereby reduced, so that the productivity increases with a high carding quality.
  • the doffer rollers are designed to operate at the same peripheral speed.
  • each layer or layer of batt is equally compressed or stretched by the subsequent squeegee roller.
  • the batt is guided by the drum by means of a transfer roller on the doffer rollers.
  • a transfer roller By the transfer roller, an additional stretching or compression of the batt can be done, whereby the mixing of the batt can be improved.
  • the upper doffer roll has a larger diameter than the lower doffer roll.
  • the doffer rollers Due to the fact that the doffer rollers have a lower circumferential speed than the transfer roller, the bobbin is compressed, which contributes to good mixing.
  • the carding machine can have up to six pickup rollers which are simultaneously in operative connection with an upsetting roller.
  • a high productivity can be realized at the same time short length of the card.
  • the compression roll may be formed as a clothing roll or pin roller.
  • An internal suction of the compression roll can improve the merging and doubling of the individual layers of batt, in particular if the layers or layers of batt have a very low weight.
  • Figure 1 a card according to the invention with an outlet side
  • Figure 2 another embodiment of a carding invention with an outlet side
  • Figure 3 another embodiment of a carding invention with an outlet side.
  • the fiber flakes are fed to the inlet side of the system and fed via rollers, not shown here, a pre-drum or directly to the drum 2, in which the fiber flakes are dissolved and aligned in a first stage to single fiber.
  • a pre-drum or directly to the drum 2 in which the fiber flakes are dissolved and aligned in a first stage to single fiber.
  • the batt can be removed from a transfer roller 5 from the spool 2.
  • the drum 2 rotates clockwise and its clothing or teeth are also inclined clockwise or in the direction of rotation.
  • the transfer roller 5 rotates counterclockwise, with the clothing or the teeth of the transfer roller 5 are tilted in the counterclockwise direction.
  • a lower doffer roll 7 takes over a first layer of the batt 20 and thereby rotates clockwise.
  • the remaining second layer of the batt 20 is taken from an upper doffer roller 6 of the transfer roller 5, which also rotates clockwise.
  • the trimmings or teeth of both doffer rollers 6, 7 are inclined counterclockwise and counter to the direction of rotation of the doffer rollers 6, 7.
  • a subsequently arranged compression roller 8 takes over both layers of fiber web 20 from the lower and from the upper doffer roller 6, 7.
  • the compression roller 8 in turn rotates counterclockwise, with their clothing or teeth are inclined in a clockwise direction.
  • a subsequently arranged transfer roller 9 passes the batt 20 from the compression roller 8 onto the conveyor belt 10.
  • the compression roll 8 has a diameter of at least 600 mm, wherein the peripheral speed is smaller than the peripheral speed of the lower and upper doffer rolls 7, 6. This results in a compression and doubling of the at least two layers of batt 20
  • the compression roller 8 can be dispensed with at least one roller and one or two further acceptance devices, which shortens the length of the carding.
  • Another advantage is that due to the increased diameter of the compression roller 8 to at least 600 mm their peripheral speed and thus the centrifugal forces decrease, so that the fiber fly can be reduced.
  • a further reduction of the fiber fly can be achieved with an increase in diameter of the compression roller 8 to at least 800 mm. This size is also advantageous in view of the geometric arrangement of the upstream doffer rollers 6, 7, since these too can be increased thereby.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the pickup rollers 6, 7 arranged between the transfer roller 5 and the upsetting roller 8 have also been increased in comparison with the prior art. Due to the increase in diameter of the pickup rollers 6, 7 to at least 350 mm, the peripheral speed and thus the centrifugal forces on the fibers decreases, whereby the fiber fly is reduced.
  • the take-off rollers 6, 7 have a diameter of at least 380 mm, more preferably at least 400 mm.
  • the upper doffer roller 6 preferably has a larger diameter than the lower doffer roller 7. Operating both doffer rollers 6, 7 at the same circumferential speed ensures the same delay when transferring the batt 20 to the compression roller 8.
  • the pickup rollers 6, 7 can also be operated at a different peripheral speed, so that each layer of fiber web is compressed differently and thus has a different density. This is advantageous for products in which the density over the cross section should be variable.
  • the transfer roller 5 can also be designed as a random roller in order to influence the alignment of the fibers (MD / CD).
  • the following embodiment relates to the configuration of an exemplary carding machine with a working width of 2.5 m.
  • the diameters of the rollers are given without the height of the clothing.
  • FIG. 2 shows a further exemplary embodiment of the carding machine 1 according to the invention, which has an inlet side (not shown) for fiber flakes and an outlet side 1b for a fiber web 20.
  • the trimmings or teeth of both doffer rollers 6, 7 are inclined in a clockwise direction and counter to the direction of rotation of the doffer rollers 6, 7.
  • a subsequently arranged compression roller 8 takes over both layers of fiber web 20 from the lower and from the upper doffer roller 6, 7.
  • the compression roller 8 in turn rotates clockwise, with their clothing or teeth are inclined counterclockwise and counter to the direction of rotation.
  • a subsequently arranged transfer roller 9 passes the batt 20 from the compression roller 8 onto the conveyor belt 10.
  • the diameter of the compression roller 8 is at least 600 mm, wherein the peripheral speed is smaller than the peripheral speed of the lower and upper Abauerwalzen 7, 6. It thus takes a compression and doubling of at least two layers Fibor 20 before the acceptance device within the Carding 1.
  • the compression roller 8 can be dispensed with at least one roller and one or two further acceptance devices, which shortens the length of the carding.
  • Another advantage is that due to the increased diameter of the compression roller 8 to at least 600 mm their peripheral speed and thus the centrifugal forces decrease, so that the fiber fly can be reduced.
  • a further reduction of the fiber fly can be achieved with an increase in diameter of the compression roller 8 to at least 800 mm. This size is also advantageous in view of the geometric arrangement of the upstream doffer rollers 6, 7, since these too can be increased thereby.
  • the pickup rollers 6, 7 can also be operated at a different peripheral speed, so that each layer of fiber web is compressed differently and thus has a different density. This is advantageous for products in which the density over the cross section should be variable.
  • the increase in the roll diameter of the doffer rollers 6, 7 and the compression roll 8 allows operation at a lower peripheral speed, whereby the applied centrifugal forces on the batt 20 are lower than in the prior art.
  • the card can be operated with a higher productivity with a high carding quality.
  • By increasing the diameter of a modified transmission can be achieved on 20 Faserflor, which in turn can be dispensed with at least one, depending on the type of carding on two rolls, whereby despite an increase in diameter of the picking and compression rolls 6, 7, 8, the length of the Clutter sinks.
  • the embodiment of Figure 3 differs from the embodiment of Figure 2 only by the third pickup roller 11, which is arranged between the pickup rollers 6 and 7 and with a third layer or layer of fiber web 20 can be transferred from the spool 2 to the compression roller 8. It can be seen that, depending on the roll diameter, four to six layers or layers of fiber web 20 can be transferred from a spool 2 according to this embodiment or from a transfer roller according to the embodiment of FIG. 1 to the edging roll 8. Also in this embodiment, all the pickup rollers 6, 7, 11 may have the same peripheral speed, so that each layer or layer of batt undergoes an equal compression by the compression roller 8.
  • the pickup rollers 6, 7, 11 can also be operated at a different peripheral speed, so that each layer of fiber web is compressed differently and thus has a different density. This is advantageous for products in which the density over the cross section should be variable.
  • the compression roller 8 may be formed depending on the fiber quality as a clothing roller or pin roller. A further improvement in the acquisition of the layers or layers Fibrous and their doubling can be achieved by the upsetting roller 8 is sucked from the inside.
  • the doffer rollers 6, 7, 11 are formed with the compression roller 8 for active pile removal. This means that the doffer rollers 6, 7, 11 to the compression roller 8 have an opposite direction of rotation. At the same time the tooth inclination of the clothing is directed against the direction of rotation of the rollers 6, 7, 8, 11.
  • the peripheral speed of the compression roller 8 is smaller than the peripheral speed of the doffer rollers 6, 7, 11, so that the batt 20 is compressed.
