Abstract

The invention relates to a doctor bed, formed as a profiled strip having a continuous groove in the axial direction to hold a rotatable metering rod, which can be pressed against a moving surface and meters and/or evens out liquid to pasty medium applied to the moving surface, the moving surface in the case of direct application of the medium being one side of a paper, board or other fibrous web and in the case of indirect application being the surface of a transfer element which transfers the medium to the fibrous web.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Rakelbett, ausgebildet als Profilleiste mit einer in axialer Richtung durchlaufenden Nut zur Aufnahme eines drehbaren Rakelstabs, der gegen eine laufende Oberfläche anpressbar ist und auf die laufende Oberfläche aufgebrachtes flüssiges bis pastöses Medium dosiert und/oder egalisiert, wobei die laufende Oberfläche bei direktem Auftrag des Mediums eine Seite einer Papier-, Karton- oder anderen Faserstoffbahn ist und bei indirektem Auftrag die Oberfläche eines Übertragungselementes ist, welches das Medium an die Faserstoffbahn überträgt.The invention relates to a doctor bed, designed as a profiled strip with a continuous groove in the axial direction for receiving a rotary metering rod which can be pressed against a running surface and metered onto the running surface liquid to pasty medium and / or leveled, the current surface at direct order of the medium is one side of a paper, cardboard or other fibrous web and, in the case of indirect application, is the surface of a transfer element which transfers the medium to the fibrous web.

Rakelbetten dienen der Lagerung und Abstützung von kreiszylindrischen Rakelstäben, die zum Dosieren und/oder Egalisieren eines auf einen laufenden Untergrund aufgebrachten flüssigen bis pastösen Mediums innerhalb von sogenannten Streichmaschinen Verwendung finden. Die Rakelstäbe werden üblicherweise aus einem homogenen Werkstoff hergestellt. Dabei sind sehr lange und schlanke zylindrische Rakelstäbe bei geringen bis hohen Drehzahlen zu haltern, während diese das Beschichtungsmaterial möglichst gleichmäßig aufbringen, abstreifen oder nur verteilen. Der Einsatz solcher Rakelstäbe ist verschleißträchtig. Das Auswechseln der sehr teuren Stäbe ist dann mit Arbeitsaufwand und Betriebsausfall verbunden. Auch die Rakelbetten sind aufgrund von Verschleiß regelmäßig zu erneuern. Die Standfestigkeit des Rakelbetts ist somit begrenzt, welches den Stab über seine gesamte Länge hochgenau und gleichmäßig andrücken soll. Dazu benötigt das Rakelbett eine Eigenelastizität und gleichzeitig eine möglichst gute Gleitfähigkeit und Abriebfestigkeit. Üblicherweise wird das Rakelbett über innere Kanäle oder Profilkammern mit Wasser unter entsprechendem Druck beaufschlagt, so dass derDoctor beds are used for the storage and support of circular cylindrical doctor bars, which are used for dosing and / or leveling a liquid applied to a running surface liquid to pasty medium within so-called coating machines. The doctor bars are usually made of a homogeneous material. In this case, very long and slender cylindrical doctor bars are to be supported at low to high speeds, while these apply the coating material as evenly as possible, strip or only distribute. The use of such doctor bars is susceptible to wear. The replacement of the very expensive rods is then associated with labor and operation failure. Also, the squeegee beds are to be renewed regularly due to wear. The stability of the doctor bed is thus limited, which is to press the rod over its entire length with high precision and uniformity. For this, the doctor bed requires an inherent elasticity and at the same time the best possible lubricity and abrasion resistance. Usually, the doctor bed is acted upon by inner channels or profile chambers with water under a corresponding pressure, so that the

Rakelstab eine schwimmende Lagerung im Rakelbett erhält. Insbesondere moderne, mit einer Profilierung versehene Rakelstäbe, die eine bessere Auftragsdosierung schaffen, nutzen die Rakelbetten in Bereichen mit hohem Abstützungsdruck besonders ab.Doctor blade receives a floating storage in the doctor bed. In particular, modern profiled doctoring rods that provide better application dosage utilize the doctor beds particularly in areas of high support pressure.

Aus der DE 101 20 786 A1 ist ein Rakelbett zum Andruck eines rotierenden Rakelstabs gegen eine Walze bekannt, wie etwa eine Auftragswalze oder Beschichtungswalze in Papiermaschinen, wobei das Rakelbett als Profilleiste ausgebildet ist, die den Rakelstab elastisch in Andruckrichtung abstützt. Das Rakelbett besteht aus einem elastomeren Polyurethanmaterial, das mit einem Anteil von zumindest 3 Gewichtsprozenten mit ultrahochmolekularem Polyäthylen gemischt ist. Durch die Beimischung eines ultrahochmolekularen Polyäthylens sollen hinsichtlich der Gleitfähigkeit und Abriebfestigkeit längere Standzeiten erzielt werden.From DE 101 20 786 A1 a doctor bed for pressing a rotating doctor bar against a roll is known, such as an applicator roll or coating roll in paper machines, wherein the doctor bed is designed as a profile strip which supports the doctor bar elastically in the pressing direction. The doctor bed is made of an elastomeric polyurethane material blended with at least 3 percent by weight ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. The addition of an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene should be achieved in terms of lubricity and abrasion resistance longer life.

Des Weiteren ist in der DE 43 34 555 A1 eine Halterung für eine Rakelstange beschrieben, welche ein die Rakelstange haltendes Rakelbett aufweist, das in einem an einer Seite offenen Halter in Richtung der Halteröffnung bewegbar gelagert ist. Zwischen Halter und Rakelbett ist ein elastischer, in Richtung der Halteröffnung drückender Druckschlauch angeordnet. Um einen in seiner Weite präzisen und über die Arbeitsbreite gleichmäßigen Spalt zwischen Rakelstange und einer Walze einstellen zu können, ist ein weiterer, in Gegenrichtung drückender Druckschlauch vorgesehen. Durch die jeweilige Beaufschlagung der Druckschläuche soll sich das Querprofil unabhängig vom Anpressdruck mit einer fein einstellbaren Profiliereinrichtung einstellen lassen.Furthermore, DE 43 34 555 A1 describes a holder for a doctor bar, which has a doctor bed holding the doctor bar which is movably mounted in a holder open on one side in the direction of the holder opening. Between the holder and the doctor bed an elastic, in the direction of the holder opening oppressive pressure hose is arranged. In order to be able to set a gap which is precise in its width and uniform over the working width between the doctor bar and a roller, a further pressure hose which presses in the opposite direction is provided. By the respective admission of the pressure hoses, the cross profile should be adjusted independently of the contact pressure with a finely adjustable profiling.

In der US 6,019,846 A ist ein Rakelbett beschrieben, welches radiale Längsstreifen aus nichtmetallischem Material zwischen Rakelbett und Rakelstab aufweist.US Pat. No. 6,019,846 A describes a doctor bed which has radial longitudinal strips of non-metallic material between the doctor bed and the doctor bar.

Diese Lösung ist sehr aufwändig und kann hinsichtlich der Gleitfähigkeit und Verschleißfestigkeit nicht überzeugen.This solution is very complex and can not convince in terms of lubricity and wear resistance.

Bei den vorgeschlagenen Lösungen treten jedoch über die gesamte Länge einer Rakelvorrichtung zonar unterschiedliche Verschleißerscheinungen auf oder stellen bezüglich des Anpressdrucks zwar steuerbare, technisch jedoch sehr aufwändige Lösungen dar.In the proposed solutions, however, occur over the entire length of a doctor device zonar different signs of wear or make with respect to the contact pressure while controllable, but technically very complex solutions.

Des Weiteren können sich Probleme bei einer ungleichen Belastung dadurch ergeben, dass sich ein erhöhter Verschleiß durch eine partielle Deformation, beispielsweise im Randbereich der Papierbahn, aufgrund ungenügender Schmierung, Faserablagerungen vom Papierbahnrand, ungünstiger Reibungsverhältnisse im Übergang von Beschichtungsmaterial zur Randbefeuchtung oder partiellem Trockenlauf einstellt.Furthermore, problems with unequal loading can thereby result result in increased wear due to partial deformation, for example in the edge region of the paper web, due to insufficient lubrication, fiber deposits from the paper web edge, unfavorable friction conditions in the transition from coating material to edge moistening or partial dry running.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Rakelbett so weiterzubilden, dass es über seine gesamte Länge eine im Verschleißverhalten gleichmäßige Abnutzung aufweist.The invention has the object of developing a doctor bed so that it has a uniform wear behavior over its entire length.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Rakelbett nach Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a doctor bed according to claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist ein Rakelbett vorgesehen, ausgebildet als Profilleiste mit einer in axialer Richtung durchlaufenden Nut zur Abstützung eines Rakelstabs in Andruckrichtung, wobei das Rakelbett abschnittsweise in axialer Richtung durch wenigstens ein Einsatzteil gebildet ist, das in Bezug zum übrigen Werkstoff formbeständiger ist.According to the invention, a doctor bed is provided, formed as a profiled strip with a continuous groove in the axial direction for supporting a metering rod in the pressing direction, wherein the doctor bed is formed in sections in the axial direction by at least one insert part, which is dimensionally stable in relation to the rest of the material.

Die Erfindung schlägt ein relativ kurzes Bauteil vor, das jeweils im kritischen Bereich eingefügt ist und dabei die für einen Betrieb erforderliche Eigenelastizität der gesamten Rakelvorrichtung bewahrt.The invention proposes a relatively short component which is inserted in each case in the critical region and thereby preserves the inherent elasticity of the entire doctor device required for operation.

Durch die entsprechende Eigenelastizität wird ein in der Nut angeordneter Rakelstab in Andruckrichtung, also in Richtung des zu beschichtenden laufenden Untergrundes, beispielsweise einer Auftragswalze einer Streichmaschine, flexibel abgestützt. Ein Einsatzteil ist oder mehrere Einsatzteile sind entlang der axialen Richtung im Rakelbett eingebunden und insbesondere an Stellen angeordnet, an denen bei herkömmlichen Rakelbetten besonders hoher Verschleiß auftritt. Ein besonderer Vorteil ist der durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung erzielte geringe Abrieb oder Verschleiß und ein niedriger Reibungskoeffizient der verwendeten Materialien, die zu einer erhöhten Standzeit des Rakelbetts führen.By means of the corresponding inherent elasticity, a doctor blade arranged in the groove is flexibly supported in the direction of pressure, ie in the direction of the running substrate to be coated, for example an applicator roll of a coating machine. An insert part or several insert parts are integrated along the axial direction in the doctor bed and in particular arranged at locations where particularly high wear occurs in conventional doctor beds. A particular advantage is the low abrasion or wear achieved by the solution according to the invention and a low coefficient of friction of the materials used, which lead to an increased service life of the doctor bed.

Es können dabei mehrere kritische Zonen mit erhöhtem Verschleiß vorhanden sein. Ein besonderer Vorteil der Erfindung ergibt sich durch die Verwendung der im Verschleißverhalten aufeinander abgestimmten Werkstoffe, beispielsweise mit gummielastischen Werkstoffen als Grundmaterial in Verbindung mit entsprechend form- und abriebbeständigen Einsatzteilen. Damit weist das Rakelbett über seine gesamte Länge eine im Verschleißverhalten gleichmäßige Abnutzung auf. Für ein Einsatzteil - auch als Insert bezeichnet - kommen günstig aufeinander abgestimmte hitzebeständige, formbeständige, abriebbeständige und reibungsarme Werkstoffe in Betracht.There may be several critical zones with increased wear. A particular advantage of the invention results from the use of matched in wear behavior materials, such as rubber-elastic materials as base material in conjunction with correspondingly form and abrasion resistant inserts. Thus, the doctor bed over its entire length on wear uniform wear on. For an insert - also known as an insert - are low-matching heat-resistant, dimensionally stable, abrasion-resistant and low-friction materials into consideration.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass sich mehrere Einsatzteile in axialer Richtung im Außenbereich befinden. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass nur ein Einsatzteil bevorzugt in der Mitte angeordnet ist und/oder in der Mitte angeordnet sind. Partiell wird also ein Einsatzteil in einem kritischen Bereich angeordnet, um eine partielle Deformation, beispielsweise im Randbereich einer Papierbahn, aufgrund ungenügender Schmierung, Faserablagerungen oder ungünstige Reibungsverhältnisse auszugleichen. Hierdurch werden die eingangs erwähnten Probleme, die sich aus einer ungleichen Belastung ergeben behoben.An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that several inserts are located in the axial direction in the outdoor area. But it is also possible that only one insert is preferably arranged in the middle and / or arranged in the middle. Partially so an insert is placed in a critical area to compensate for a partial deformation, for example, in the edge region of a paper web, due to insufficient lubrication, fiber deposits or unfavorable friction conditions. As a result, the above-mentioned problems resulting from an uneven load are resolved.

Eine besondere Rolle spielen auch die Übergänge der einzelnen Materialkombinationen, die im Grundmaterial des Rakelbetts und einem Einsatzteil stark unterschiedliche mechanische Eigenschaften aufweisen können. In bevorzugter Ausführungsform wird durch die Bauteilgeometrie des jeweiligen Einsatzteils ein homogener Übergang der für ein Einsatzteil und der übrigen Profilleiste verwendeten Werkstoffe ausgebildet. Hierdurch kann ein homogener und weicher Übergang unterschiedlicher Materialien geschaffen werden.The transitions of the individual material combinations, which can have greatly differing mechanical properties in the base material of the doctor bed and in an insert part, also play a special role. In a preferred embodiment, a homogeneous transition of the materials used for an insert part and the rest of the profile strip is formed by the component geometry of the respective insert part. As a result, a homogeneous and soft transition of different materials can be created.

Vorteilhafterweise sind die gemeinsamen Berührungsflächen des jeweiligen Einsatzteils mit dem umgebenden Werkstoff im Wesentlichen unter einem Winkel von 45°-90°, bevorzugt unter 70°-90°, bezüglich der axialen Richtung angeordnet. Diese Anordnung ergibt einen harmonischeren Übergang der unterschiedlichen Werkstoffe. Im Wesentlichen bedeutet in diesem Zusammenhang, dass aus geometrischen Gründen bei der konstruktiven Auslegung der Einsatzteile natürlich auch andere Flächenorientierungen auftreten können. Diese Orientierungen sollen jedoch einen untergeordneten Einfluss auf die Elastizität des Rakelbetts und insbesondere auf die Art und Weise eines fließenden Übergangs der Krafteinleitung auf einen Rakelstab besitzen.Advantageously, the common contact surfaces of the respective insert part are arranged with the surrounding material substantially at an angle of 45 ° -90 °, preferably below 70 ° -90 °, with respect to the axial direction. This arrangement results in a more harmonious transition of the different ones Materials. Essentially, in this context means that for geometric reasons in the structural design of the inserts, of course, other surface orientations may occur. However, these orientations should have a minor influence on the elasticity of the doctor bed and in particular on the way of a smooth transition of the introduction of force on a metering rod.

Beim Auftragen eines flüssigen oder pastösen Mediums, be ispielsweise auf eine laufende Materialbahn aus Papier oder Karton, können beträchtliche Temperaturen auftreten, die auch Rakelvorrichtungen in ihrer Funktionsweise beeinträchtigen können. In bevorzugter Ausführungsform ist dazu das jeweilige Einsatzteil hitzebeständig.When applying a liquid or pasty medium, be ispielsweise on a moving web of paper or cardboard, considerable temperatures can occur, which can affect the functioning of doctor blades devices. In a preferred embodiment, the respective insert part is heat-resistant for this purpose.

Beispielsweise bei Rollrakeleinrichtungen übernehmen die Rakelbetten die Führungs- und Stützfunktion für die drehbar gelagerten Rakelstäbe. Diese sollten durch möglichst gleitfähiges Material geführt werden, das jedoch noch weitere Anforderungen bezüglich ausreichend langer Standzeiten der Vorrichtung erfüllen soll. In bevorzugter Ausführungsform ist dazu das jeweilige Einsatzteil verschleißbeständig.For example, in roll doctor devices, the doctor beds take over the guiding and supporting function for the rotatably mounted metering rods. These should be guided by material that is as slippery as possible, but which should fulfill further requirements with regard to a sufficiently long service life of the device. In a preferred embodiment, the respective insert part is wear-resistant for this purpose.

Vorteilhafterweise besteht das jeweilige Einsatzteil aus Thermoplast. Insbesondere vorteilhaft ist ein Einsatzteil aus Polyethylen (PE) oder hochfestem Polyetheretherketon (PEEK) durch eine entsprechend hohe Zähigkeit der Materialien. Hierdurch wird zum übrigen Grundmaterial bezüglich der Elastizität des Rakelbetts bereits durch die Werkstoffauswahl ein homogener Übergang über die gesamte Länge des Rakelbetts geschaffen. Der Thermoplast wird jedoch bevorzugt so ausgewählt, dass dieser bei Erwärmung dennoch starrer bleibt, als das Grundmaterial.Advantageously, the respective insert is made of thermoplastic. Particularly advantageous is an insert made of polyethylene (PE) or high-strength polyetheretherketone (PEEK) by a correspondingly high toughness of the materials. As a result, a homogeneous transition over the entire length of the doctor bed is already created by the material selection for the rest of the base material with respect to the elasticity of the doctor bed. However, the thermoplastic is preferably selected so that it remains more rigid when heated than the base material.

Alternativ kann vorteilhafterweise auch das jeweilige Einsatzteil aus Polymeren bestehen, beispielsweise aus Polyurethan (PU) oder Polyamid (PA). Hierzu eignet sich insbesondere das Elastomer wie Polyurethan(PU), da es bezüglich seiner mechanischen Eigenschaften gummielastisch bis hart sein kann und dabei abriebfest ist. Polyamid (PA) ist dagegen außer seiner Abriebfestigkeit vergleichsweise hart.Alternatively, advantageously, the respective insert made of polymers, for example polyurethane (PU) or polyamide (PA). For this purpose, in particular the elastomer such as polyurethane (PU), since it is in terms of its mechanical properties can be rubber-elastic to hard and abrasion resistant. Polyamide (PA), in contrast to its abrasion resistance, is comparatively hard.

Alternativ kann vorteilhafterweise das jeweilige Einsatzteil aus einem Werkstoffverbund bestehen. Insbesondere kann vorteilhafterweise das Einsatzteil aus einem Werkstoffverbund aus Gummi und Graphit aufgebaut sein.Alternatively, advantageously, the respective insert part consist of a composite material. In particular, advantageously, the insert can be constructed of a composite material of rubber and graphite.

Alternativ kann vorteilhafterweise auch das jeweilige Einsatzteil aus Keramik bestehen. Hierdurch wird ein besonders form- und verschleißbeständiges Einsatzteil im Rakelbett geschaffen.Alternatively, advantageously, the respective insert made of ceramic. As a result, a particularly form-and wear-resistant insert is created in the doctor bed.

Alternativ kann vorteilhafterweise auch das jeweilige Einsatzteil aus Metall bestehen. Metalle aus einer Kupferlegierung, beispielsweise aus Bronze, eignen sich hierzu besonders gut. Bronze als Werkstoff zeichnet sich auch als besonders korrosionsbeständig aus.Alternatively, advantageously, the respective insert made of metal. Metals made of a copper alloy, for example bronze, are particularly suitable for this purpose. Bronze as a material is also particularly resistant to corrosion.

In bevorzugter Ausführungsform ist das jeweilige Einsatzteil formschlüssig, geklebt, geschraubt, genietet, eingepresst, eingegossen oder eingeschweißt. Je nach Einsatzbereich kann das jeweils günstige Fügeverfahren im Hinblick auf die mechanische Beanspruchung des Rakelbetts im Betrieb ausgewählt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the respective insert part is positively, glued, screwed, riveted, pressed, cast or welded. Depending on the application, the respectively favorable joining method can be selected with regard to the mechanical stress of the doctor bed during operation.

Weitere Vorteile, Besonderheiten und zweckmäßige Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den weiteren Unteransprüchen oder deren Unterkombinationen.Further advantages, features and expedient developments of the invention will become apparent from the other dependent claims or their sub-combinations.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine Ansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Rakelvorrichtung mit einem Rakelbett 1 und ein Rakelstab 2 mit einem im Randbereich angeordneten Einsatzteil 4. Der Rakelstab 2 wird in der axial verlaufenden Nut 3 im Rakelbett 1 drehbar gelagert. Zur Abstützung eines Rakelstabs 2 in Andruckrichtung ist in der Profilleiste in axialer Richtung gesehen ein relativ kurzes Einsatzteil 4 angeordnet, um die erforderliche Eigenelastizität der gesamten Rakelvorrichtung zu bewahren. Das Bauteil erstreckt sich in diesem Falle über die ganze Breite des Rakelbetts 1. Fig. 1 shows a view of a doctor device according to the invention with a doctor bed 1 and a metering rod 2 with an edge portion arranged in the insert part 4. The metering rod 2 is rotatably mounted in the axially extending groove 3 in the doctor bed 1. To support a metering rod 2 in the pressing direction, a relatively short insertion part 4 is arranged in the profile strip in the axial direction, in order to preserve the required inherent elasticity of the entire doctor device. The component extends in this case over the entire width of the doctor bed 1.

In Fig. 2 ist eine Rakelvorrichtung mit einem Rakelbett 1 mit einem mittig angeordneten Einsatzteil 4 gezeigt. So können ein oder mehrere entlang der axialen Richtung im Rakelbett 1 eingebundene Einsatzteile 4 an Stellen angeordnet sein, an denen bei herkömmlichen Rakelbetten besonders hohe mechanische Belastungen auftreten. Auch hier erstreckt sich das Einsatzteil 4 über die ganze Breite des Rakelbetts 1.In Fig. 2 a squeegee device with a squeegee bed 1 with a centrally located insert 4 is shown. Thus, one or more along the axial direction in the doctor bed 1 integrated insert parts 4 may be arranged at locations where particularly high mechanical loads occur in conventional doctor beds. Again, the insert 4 extends over the entire width of the doctor bed. 1

Fig. 3 zeigt eine Ansicht einer erfindungsgemäßen Rakelvorrichtung mit einem Rakelbett 1 mit einem mittig angeordneten Einsatzteils 4, das durch Formschluss gehaltert ist. Dabei erstreckt sich das Einsatzteil 4 lediglich über einen Teil der Rakelbettbreite und wird allein aufgrund des Formschlusses bereits ausreichend fixiert. Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei die schwalbenschwanzartige Form. Auch andere, beispielsweise Omega-förmige Geometrien sind denkbar. Fig. 3 shows a view of a doctor device according to the invention with a doctor bed 1 with a centrally disposed insert part 4, which is held by positive engagement. In this case, the insert 4 extends only over part of the doctor bed width and is already sufficiently fixed due to the positive locking alone. Particularly advantageous is the dovetail-like shape. Other, for example, omega-shaped geometries are conceivable.
