Definitions
- a method for operating a device for laying a fleece of finite fibers by the air laying method is known, the device consisting of a rotatably mounted laying drum, the jacket of which is permeable to the fibers.
- An air stream flows through the laying drum radially in the direction of an endless belt carrying the fleece to be laid and running along the laying drum, the fibers to be laid into a fleece being fed to the end face of the laying drum in the axial direction.
- the pulp fibers are fed in the area of the outside diameter of the laying drum, that is to say eccentrically.
- a comb drum whose combs only touch the lateral surface of the laying drum along one line, is likewise eccentrically mounted within the laying drum.
- This laying drum is assigned a second drum in parallel, which are connected to one another by pipes which also engage on the end faces.
- a laying device therefore consists of two laying drums, between which fibers flow in the circuit.
- the laying drums extend over the entire working width, which can reach up to 4 or 5 m.
- the drums In order to achieve an even distribution of the fibers on the endless belt, the drums must have an appropriate diameter. However, this is limited by the required dimensions of the ball bearings, which are arranged on their outer diameter for the rotatable mounting of the laying drum. The reason for this are the necessary eccentric openings in the end faces of the laying drums.
- the diameter of the ball bearings cannot be built in any size. At a higher speed - as is necessary here when operating the laying drums - the balls of the ball bearings run too quickly in the bearing shells if the diameters are too large, which means that the lubricating film breaks off.
- the invention has for its object to find a solution to the problem.
- the laying drums should be able to be produced in any desired diameter, which results from the respective width of the fleece to be laid.
- is a Larger diameter of the laying drums is advantageous for the production speed of the fleece to be laid.
- the solution has been found in that the fibers are guided centrally into the laying drum.
- the fibers are advantageously fed centrally to both end faces of the laying drum.
- the device for laying a fleece made of finite fibers as well as pulp fibers according to the air laying method is provided with a permeable laying drum rotatably mounted in a housing with an end opening for feeding the fibers, the laying drum being arranged above an endless belt carrying the fleece to be laid, the below is a suction box for extracting the air supplied to the laying drum radially above.
- the end opening for feeding the fibers into the laying drum is now arranged centrally.
- the axis of the laying drum is thus designed as a fiber feed tube, which only has to have a diameter large enough that the necessary amount of fibers can be introduced. This means that the diameter of the ball bearings required for the rotatable mounting of the laying drum is completely independent of the outside diameter of the laying drum.
- the laying drums can be built to any size, the ball bearings will never run hot even at high peripheral speeds.
- a comb drum is to be stored in the laying drum, the combs of which rub against the inside of the casing of the laying drum and convey the fibers through the openings in the casing.
- This comb drum is also mounted centrally in the laying drum, namely this comb drum forms the fiber insertion opening in the axis and the bearing of the laying drum is then arranged around the corresponding insertion tube.
- Fig. 1 shows a section longitudinally through a laying drum as it is stored in the housing and
- Fig. 2 shows a cross section through two laying drums arranged one behind the other.
- a laying drum 3 is rotatably mounted in a housing 1, which is arranged above a leading endless belt 2, a laying drum 3 is rotatably mounted.
- a further ball bearing 7 is arranged in the tubular axis 6 of the laying drum 3 and supports the tubular axis 8 of a comb drum 9.
- the central opening 10 of this tube axis 8 is so large that the fibers flowing in through this opening 10 can be introduced in time and completely over the length of the drum 3.
- the diameter of the laying drum 3 is independent of this and can take any dimension determined by other parameters.
- Such a fiber insertion opening 10 is provided on both end faces of the laying drum. The fibers are therefore not circulated between two drums, but only one laying drum 3 forms a laying unit.
- the comb drum 9 consists of two circular end plates 11, 12 which have the fiber inflow openings 10 in the center. On the outer circumference are attached around tubular brackets 13 which extend parallel and to the right of the inner shell of the laying drum 3. Radially on the outside, radially directed combs 14 are centered in the tubes 13 and end at the level of the inner surface of the jacket of the laying drum 3. Both the laying drum 3 and the comb drum 9 run in a driven manner, with a relative speed between the drums, this can be directed in the same direction or in the opposite direction.
- a suction box 15 is arranged below the endless belt 2, through which the air 16 fed to the top of the laying drum 3 is sucked off.
- the fibers emerging from the laying drum 3 reach the endless belt 2 with the air stream, are deposited there and form the fleece to be produced.
- the endless belt 2 or the fleece lying thereon is sealed by a sealing roller 17, 18 to the suction box or to the housing 1.
- Any number of single-drum devices can be arranged one behind the other from these constructions of a laying device. So there are no pairs of drums necessary.
- the adjacent laying devices only require a wall 19 for separation.
