Abstract

The method involves coating the moving supporting surface with liquid, particularly photographic emulsion. The solution is guided between side plates (2) above the pouring lip (4) so that its edges do not ride upwards over the plate surfaces under the effect of surface tension. An additional current can be delivered to each side of the curtain of material formed, the width of the latter being greater than that of the coating on the supporting surface. Each side current is fed in the transverse direction of the curtain and parallel to the plate front wall.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Vorhangbeschichtung eines bewegten Trägers mit einem flüssigen Beschichtungsmaterial gemäss Oberbegriff von Patentanspruch 1. Bei dieser Beschichtung, insbesondere bei grosser Breite der Maschinen und grosser Geschwindigkeit, ergeben sich eine grosse Anzahl von Problemen, um den Vorhang zu stabilisieren und möglichst gleichmässig auf die Unterlage zu bringen.The present invention relates to a method and a device for curtain coating a moving Carrier with a liquid coating material according to Preamble of claim 1. With this coating, especially when the machine is wide and large Speed, there are a large number of Problems to stabilize the curtain and if possible to bring evenly on the surface.

Eines dieser Probleme besteht darin, dass durch die vor der Giesserlippe angeordneten Seitenbegrenzungsplatten Störungen entstehen, so beispielsweise Schichtdickenfehler im Randbereich, dadurch, dass die Giesslösung unter der Wirkung der Oberflächenspannung an den Seiten der Seitenbegrenzungsplatten in die Höhe steigt, falls die Seitenbegrenzungsplatten eine rechtwinklige Stirnseite aufweisen.One of these problems is that before Giesserlippe arranged side boundary plates malfunctions arise, such as layer thickness errors in the Edge area, in that the casting solution under the effect the surface tension on the sides of the Side boundary plates rise in height if the Side boundary plates have a right-angled face exhibit.

In dem Patent Abstracts of Japan, Vol. 13 No. 111 (C-577), 16. März 1989, ist eine Giesserlippe mit Seitenbegrenzungs-Platten offenbart, die eine Schneide aufweisen, dessen beide Schenkel einen nicht näher bestimmten Winkel  einschliessen.In the Patent Abstracts of Japan, Vol. 13 No. 111 (C-577), March 16, 1989, is a pouring lip with side boundary plates disclosed which have a cutting edge, both of which Leg an unspecified angle  lock in.

Es ist demgegenüber eine Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung anzugeben, mit dem eine gleichmässige Beschichtung mit verringerten Schichtdickenfehler erzielt werden kann. Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem Verfahren gemäss den unabhängigen Patentansprüchen 1 und 6 gelöst. Weitere Vorteile sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen definiert. In contrast, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method and an apparatus with which a uniform coating with reduced Layer thickness errors can be achieved. This task will with the method according to independent patent claims 1 and 6 solved. Other advantages are in the dependent Defined claims.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand einer Zeichnung eines Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert.

In Figur 1 ist schematisch ein Teil einer Beschichtungs-Vorrichtung als Teil einer Anlage dargestellt. Man erkennt die Giesserplatten 1, siehe auch Figur 4, mit den seitlich angebrachten Seitenbegrenzungsplatten 2, womit die Giesslösung 3 für die jeweilige Giessbreite begrenzt wird. An der Lippe 4 der Giesserfrontplatte 5 beginnt der freie Fall des Vorhanges. Von diesem Punkt an muss der Vorhang 6 durch die Seitenführungen 7 stabilisiert werden. Ohne diese Seitenführungen würde sich der Vorhang unter der Wirkung der Oberflächenspannung gegen die Mitte zusammenziehen.FIG. 1 schematically shows part of a coating device shown as part of a system. One notices the foundry plates 1, see also Figure 4, with the side attached side boundary plates 2, which the Casting solution 3 is limited for the respective casting width. The free begins at the lip 4 of the foundry front plate 5 Fall of the curtain. From this point on, the curtain 6 be stabilized by the side guides 7. Without these The curtains would be under the effect of the side guides Pull the surface tension towards the middle.

Die Beschichtungsvorrichtung weist ferner einen zu beschichtenden Träger 8 auf, der um die Giesswalze 9 und unter der Beschichtungsvorrichtung geführt wird. In Figur 1 ist auch der Drehsinn der Giesswalze eingezeichnet.The coating device also assigns one coating carrier 8 on the casting roll 9 and is guided under the coating device. In Figure 1 the direction of rotation of the casting roll is also shown.

Bei vorliegender Vorrichtung wird der seitenbegrenzende Flüssigkeitsfilm nicht mehr parallel zur Giesslösung, bzw. zum Giessvorhang eingeleitet, sondern quer dazu, das heisst, siehe insbesondere Figur 3, der Flüssigkeitsfilm 10 wird parallel zur strömungsbegrenzenden Vorderwand 7' der Seitenführung 7 eingeleitet, wobei der Flüssigkeitsfilm 10 in einer Nut 14 in der Seitenführung fliesst und einen Teil der Vorderwand der Seitenführung bildet. Wie aus Figur 2 hervorgeht, wird die Flüssigkeit, beispielsweise Wasser oder eine Wasser/Gelatinelösung, durch einen Dosierschlitz 11 eingeführt, wobei das Schlitzende 12 derart geformt ist, dass der Flüssigkeits-Film 10 regelmässig und mit gleichförmiger Dicke die Nut in der Seitenführung hinabströmt.In the present device, the page-limiting Liquid film no longer parallel to the casting solution, or to the curtain, but across it, that is, see in particular Figure 3, the liquid film 10 parallel to the flow-limiting front wall 7 ' Lateral guide 7 initiated, the liquid film 10 flows in a groove 14 in the side guide and part forms the front wall of the side guide. As from Figure 2 emerges, the liquid, for example water or a water / gelatin solution through a metering slot 11 inserted, the slot end 12 being shaped such that the liquid film 10 regularly and with uniform thickness the groove in the side guide flows down.

Dadurch wird erreicht, dass der Flüssigkeitsfilm und damit auch die Berührungslinie 13 zwischen Giessvorhang 6 und Flüssigkeitsfilm 10 ortsstabil ist, womit unkontrollierte wellenförmige Bewegungen im Vorhang vermieden werden. Zum Flüssigkeitsfilm können Zusätze wie Netzmittel und/oder Substanzen zur Erhöhung der elektrischen Leitfähigkeit beigegeben werden.This ensures that the liquid film and thus also the line of contact 13 between curtain 6 and Liquid film 10 is stable, which means uncontrolled wavy movements in the curtain can be avoided. To the Liquid film can be additives such as wetting agents and / or Substances to increase electrical conductivity be added.

Am unteren Ende der Seitenführungen ist je ein Messer 15 angebracht, dessen äussere Geometrie an sich bekannt ist. Insbesondere weist auch dieses Messer, um Strömungs-Ablösungen zu vermeiden, eine Vorderkante 16 auf, die bezüglich der Innenseite der Seitenführung einen spitzen Winkel α von 0 - 30°, beispielsweise 10° bildet.At the bottom of the side guides is a knife 15 attached, the outer geometry is known per se. In particular, this knife also points to flow separations to avoid a leading edge 16 on that a sharp one with respect to the inside of the side guide Forms angle α of 0-30 °, for example 10 °.

An der Oberseite 17 des Messers ist in der Seitenführung ein Absaugschlitz 18 angeordnet, dessen Höhe 0,05 - 0,5 mm beträgt, siehe Fig. 2. Dieser Schlitz 18 ist über einen Absaugkanal 19 mit einem Ventilator oder sonstigen Unterdruckanlage verbunden, um den abgeschnittenen Vorhangrand sowie den Flüssigkeitsfilm 10 abzusaugen. Dabei werden mit dem Messer 15 einige mm des Vorhanges abgeschnitten. Das Absaugen des Flüssigkeitsfilms sowie des Vorhangrandes bewirkt eine wesentliche Stabilisierung des Vorhanges. Durch das gleichzeitige Absaugen des meistens aus Wasser bestehenden Flüssigkeitsfilms mit der Gelatine enthaltenden Vorhangflüssigkeit wird eine Verdünnung der Gelatine erzielt und damit eine Verkrustung der Absaugwege verhindert.On the top 17 of the knife is in the side guide Suction slot 18 arranged, the height of 0.05 - 0.5 mm is, see Fig. 2. This slot 18 is over a Suction channel 19 with a fan or other Vacuum system connected to the cut off Aspirate the edge of the curtain and the liquid film 10. Here with the knife 15 a few mm of the curtain cut off. The suction of the liquid film and the Curtain edge brings about a substantial stabilization of the Curtain. By sucking off most of the time Water existing liquid film with the gelatin containing curtain liquid is a dilution of the Gelatin is achieved and thus a crusting of the suction paths prevented.

Um den durch den komprimierten Vorhangrand an der Kante des Saugmessers gebildeten Wulst zu vermeiden, ist an der unteren Kante des Messers ein Saugschlitz 20 angeordnet, der über einen Kanal 21 mit einer Unterdruckanlage verbunden ist, die dieselbe wie für den Absaugschlitz 18 sein kann. Vorzugsweise enthält auch dieser Kanal eine Wasserspülung. Wie in Figur 2 dargestellt, entsteht dadurch ein Rand der Beschichtung 22, der ohne Verlust verwendet werden kann.To the by the compressed curtain edge on the edge of the Avoiding suction knife formed bead is at the bottom edge of the knife arranged a suction slot 20, the connected to a vacuum system via a channel 21 which can be the same as for the suction slot 18. This channel preferably also contains a water rinse. As shown in Figure 2, this creates an edge of Coating 22 that can be used without loss.

Die Messerhöhe an der Schneide 5 des Messers kann 1 - 15 mm betragen und es ist zweckmässig, den Saugschlitz ab einer Messerhöhe von 3 mm zu verwenden, während bei einer Messerhöhe von 1 - 3 mm auf einen Absaugschlitz verzichtet werden kann.The knife height at the cutting edge 5 of the knife can be 1 - 15 mm amount and it is appropriate to use the suction slot from one Knife height of 3 mm to be used, while at a Knife height of 1 - 3 mm dispenses with a suction slot can be.

Weitere Störungen können durch die vor der Giesserlippe angeordneten Seitenbegrenzungsplatten entstehen, so beispielsweise Schichtdickenfehler im Randbereich, dadurch dass die Giesslösung unter der Wirkung der Oberflächen-Spannung an den Seiten der Seitenbegrenzungsplatten in die Höhe steigt, falls die Seitenbegrenzungsplatten eine rechtwinklige Stirnseite aufweisen. In Abweichung von diesen vorbekannten Ausführungen werden die Seiten-Begrenzungsplatten 2 der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung dicht auf die Giesserplatten 1 montiert, siehe Figuren 4 und 5, so dass sie sämtliche Giesserplatten und auch den Bogen 23 der Giesserfrontplatte 5 bis zur Giesserlippe 4 überdecken. Other disorders can be caused by the front of the lip arranged side boundary plates arise, so for example, layer thickness defects in the edge area that the casting solution under the effect of surface tension on the sides of the side boundary plates in the Height increases if the side boundary plates are one have a right-angled face. In deviation from these previously known designs are the side boundary plates 2 of the device according to the invention tightly mounted on the foundry plates 1, see Figures 4 and 5, so that they all cast plates and also the arch 23 of the foundry front plate 5 to the pouring lip 4 cover up.

Aus Figur 5 geht hervor, dass die begrenzende Kante 25 der Seitenbegrenzungsplatten nicht senkrecht ist, sondern eine Schneide 24 aufweist, wobei diese Schneide einen Winkel von beispielsweise 60° einschliesst, das heisst, dass die beiden Kanten der Schneide mit der zur Beschichtung 22 Senkrechten einen Winkel β und Γ von je 10 - 80°, vorzugsweise 60 °, aufweisen. Dabei beträgt der Abstand H zwischen der Schneide 24 und der Oberfläche der Giesserplatten 0,3 - 2,5 mm, vorzugsweise 0,8 mm. Dadurch wird die Wirkung der Oberflächenspannung auf ein Minimum reduziert, und es werden seitliche Verschiebungen der Giesslösung weitgehendst vermieden.It can be seen from FIG. 5 that the delimiting edge 25 of the Side boundary plates is not vertical, but one Has cutting edge 24, which cutting edge has an angle of for example includes 60 °, which means that the two Edge of the cutting edge with the 22 perpendicular to the coating an angle β and Γ of 10 - 80 °, preferably 60 °, exhibit. The distance H between the cutting edge is 24 and the surface of the foundry plates 0.3 - 2.5 mm, preferably 0.8 mm. This will make the effect of Surface tension is reduced to a minimum, and there will be lateral displacements of the casting solution largely avoided.

Es ist selbstverständlich, dass die erfindungsgemässe Vorrichtung bezüglich der angegebenen Masse variiert werden kann und den verschiedensten Beschichtungsbedingungen und Giesslösungskombinationen angepasst werden kann. Während jede einzelne Massnahme bereits weitgehende Verbesserungen bezüglich der Qualität der Beschichtung führt, ergibt eine Kombination sämtlicher Verbesserungen, wie beispielsweise Absaugen der abgeschnittenen Ränder, Absaugen der beim Messer gestauten Giesslösung sowie Vermeidung der durch die Oberflächenspannung bedingten Schichtdickenunterschiede sowie die Führung eines dünnen Flüssigkeitsfilms entlang der Seitenbegrenzungsplatten eine besonders stabile Beschichtung, deren Ränder keine Materialverluste oder Trocknungsprobleme mehr verursachen.It goes without saying that the inventive Device can be varied with respect to the specified mass can and the most diverse coating conditions and Casting solution combinations can be adjusted. While every single measure already extensive improvements with regard to the quality of the coating results in a Combination of all improvements, such as Vacuuming the cut edges, vacuuming the at Knife jammed pouring solution as well as avoiding the Differences in layer thickness due to surface tension and guiding a thin film of liquid along the Side boundary plates a particularly stable Coating, the edges of which do not lose material or Cause more drying problems.
