- FIG. 1 to 4 Embodiments of the invention will be described by referring to Figs. 1 to 4 . While the arrangement of Figs. 3 and 4 is slightly different with regard to the shape of a pedestal 1, an eccentric member and a roll head 7, regarding the indexing means, their function is the same. Also it is noted that, for the same and similar elements, the same reference signs will be assigned.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a shoe roll end module comprising a pedestal and a roll head in a same assembly.
- a pedestal 1 has an axle hole 11, which serves to accommodate an axle stub 3 of a shoe roll.
- axle hole serves to accommodate an axle stub 3 of a shoe roll.

- the highest surface 11b is finished with a degree of accuracy exceeding the finishing degree of the remaining seven surfaces.
- This highest surface 11b serves as a torque surface, and is manufactured with

- a corresponding surface of an axle stub 3 is manufactured with the same degree of accuracy.

- the ferrule 5 is connected with the pedestal by means of bolts 55.

- an outwards movement of the indexing head 91 is effected hydraulically. That is, when supplying a corresponding fluid such as hydraulic oil into the annular gap 53 formed between the static part of the roll head 7 and the ferrule 5, a distance between the flange 51 of the ferrule 5 and the flange 73 of the roll head increases (see Fig. 3 ).
- the indexing nut 95 is rotated such that the stopper collar 97 again approaches the pedestal 1. This rotation is performed until the scale on the indexing nut 95 shows the desired distance. In this state, if the position of the roll head 7 is slightly beyond the desired position (the distance between the inner side of the pedestal 1 and the roll head is too short), there is still a small gap between the stopper collar 97 and the pedestal 1.
- This small gap is removed by releasing the hydraulic pressure from the annular gap 53. That is, by releasing the hydraulic pressure, the spring forces of the extending springs 92 and 93 effect a movement of the roll head 7 towards the machine center. Accordingly, the distance between the roll head 7 and the pedestal 1 is again increased until the stopper collar (ring part) 97 of the indexing nut 95 gets into abutment with the pedestal 1. Then, the desired position of the roll head 7 is set. Axial movements of the indexing rod 9 into both directions are facilitated by means of a slide bushing 96 provided in the bore 15.

Abstract
Description
- The invention pertains to a shoe roll end module and in particular, to a shoe roll end module having indexing means to facilitate adjustment of a roll head's position.
- In prior art eccentric shoe press rolls, there is an eccentricity between the belt's rotating center and the center of the roll's axle. The eccentricity becomes the larger, the larger the diameter of the roll becomes. This eccentricity enables a longer water removal time than a geometry having concentric roll/belt structure (when the shoe length in machine running direction is longer than with concentric roll/belt).
- Nowadays, the eccentricity and the need for rotating the roll head to adjust belt elongation or belt reduction while keeping the belt tension as required causes roll end pieces that are rather complex and expensive to manufacture. Moreover, the assembly of such a roll head structure is slow and requires lot of fitting work especially in the whole roll end assembly.
- Examples of such separate roll head and pedestal structures can be found e.g. in document
US 5 733 415 A and in documentEP 01 619 299 B1 - Thus, there is a need to improve the pending structures and to provide a shoe roll end module with a roll head capable of improving adjustment of a belt's tension in a shoe press.
- According to the invention, a shoe roll end module comprises a pedestal, having an axle hole configured to accommodate an axle of a shoe roll and a roll head configured to hold a belt. A ferrule is supported on the pedestal and directed to an inner side of the pedestal (towards the center of a paper or board machine comprising the shoe roll). The roll head is supported on the ferrule in an axially movable manner.
- Preferably, an inner diameter of the ferrule can be configured to exceed an axle diameter of the axle so that the whole end module can be fitted to the axle by only one lifting.
- Moreover, at least two rod like indexing means are guided through respective bores in the pedestal and arranged with a predetermined distance around the axle hole in an equal angular distance, and being configured to control the movement of the roll head in relation to the pedestal in the said end module.
- Preferably, the indexing means can be arranged radially outside of the ferrule.
- Provision of the rod like indexing means in the above-described manner enables a smooth and accurate control of the movement of the roll head towards the pedestal in a case where an adjustment of the belt's tension or a position change of the belt in order to reduce wear of the belt is required. Moreover, problems occurring due to jamming of the indexing means can be avoided, since there are at least two indexing means provided. In some cases a heavy outer indexing rod can control the movement of the head when placed close to ferrule's outer surface.
- In particular,
- the indexing means can comprise control means and movement means;
- the control means can comprise rod-, nut-, head-, and scale-means;
- the movement means comprise cylinder means and spring means (but also or alternatively screw means);
- an annular cylinder can initiate every movement by relieving the indexing nuts so that those are easy to be turned to a selected position (This advantage is also explained in the description of
Fig. 1 ). - Advantageously, each of the indexing means can be formed as a single action annular cylinder configured to urge the roll head towards the pedestal.
- Alternatively, each of the indexing means can be formed as a screw, the screw being in thread engagement with a thread bore provided in an indexing nut in connection to the pedestal and having an indexing head being in engagement with an outer side of the pedestal.
- Advantageously, the bores through the pedestal can have an accommodation pocket on their side directed to the roll head, and at least one compression spring is accommodated in each accommodation pocket for indexing return movement means.
- Moreover, a plurality of coaxially arranged springs having a different spring rate can be provided. Thereby, a spring constant of the biasing spring can be determined such, that, despite thread engagement of the screws with the thread bore in the roll head, relative positions of the indexing heads are maintained.
- Biasing springs make the return movement when the indexing nuts are turned and the annular cylinder is depressurized (which is the end status of every movement so that hydraulic oil leakage is eliminated). No constant pressure is needed and indexing nuts and springs keep the roll head on its indexed position.
- Advantageously, each of the indexing means can be formed a as a working cylinder, having one of its ends attached with the roll head and having the other of its ends attached at the pedestal.
- Advantageously, each of the indexing means can be formed as a rod having one end attached to the roll head, and the other end accommodated in a hollow indexing nut, the indexing nut being in thread engagement with the rod.
- Preferably, the rod can be guided through a slide bearing bush arranged at the outer side or inner side of the pedestal, and the screw is in thread engagement with an indexing nut being arranged outside of the pedestal.
- Moreover, advantageously, a working cylinder can be provided at the inner side of the pedestal, the working cylinder being configured to change the roll head position.
- The shoe roll head can comprise a controller configured to engage the indexing means simultaneously.
- It is to be noted, that simultaneous operation of the indexing means can be done manually as well as automatically.
- In the shoe roll head, advantageously, the axle hole can have a polygonal section and one or two surfaces of the axle hole serve as a torque surface.
- Here, a torque surface is defined as a surface of the axle hole, which is configured to absorb a torque of the axle occurring during operation of the shoe roll.
- Moreover, the shoe roll end module with support from the pedestal moves the support of the roll head further away from the stressed part of the axle where its profile changes from an axle stub to a support beam for a press shoe.
- Further advantages of the invention will be understood from the following description of presently preferred embodiments in context with the attached drawings in which:
-
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a shoe roll head according to an embodiment of the invention. -
Fig. 2 is a plan view of a shoe roll head pedestal from an inner side of a paper or board machine. -
Fig. 3 is a section view of a shoe roll head structure according to an embodiment of the invention. -
Fig. 4 is a section view of a shoe roll head structure according to the embodiment of the invention and shows elements pertaining to the indexing in greater detail. - Embodiments of the invention will be described by referring to
Figs. 1 to 4 . While the arrangement ofFigs. 3 and4 is slightly different with regard to the shape of apedestal 1, an eccentric member and aroll head 7, regarding the indexing means, their function is the same. Also it is noted that, for the same and similar elements, the same reference signs will be assigned. -
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a shoe roll end module comprising a pedestal and a roll head in a same assembly. Apedestal 1 has anaxle hole 11, which serves to accommodate anaxle stub 3 of a shoe roll. In this regard, it is to be noted that the terms "axle" and related terms such as "axle hole" and "axle stub" are used throughout the application rather for sake of brevity. In fact a "pressure beam" and related terms such as an "accommodating hole for (such) a pressure beam" and a "stub of (such) a pressure beam", respectively, are meant instead. - The
axle hole 11 in section has an octagonal shape. Thus, there are eight surfaces forming theaxle hole 11. Among the eight surfaces, thehighest surface 11b is finished with a degree of accuracy exceeding the finishing degree of the remaining seven surfaces. Thishighest surface 11b serves as a torque surface, and is manufactured with - an increased roughness (Ra) level in comparison to a reference surface;
- an increased planar evenness of the surface in comparison to the reference surface;
- an increased degree of parallelism of the surface compared to the reference surface.
- The shoe roll can be assembled above or below the counter roll, so the direction of the nip is in the 'flat' joint side of the pedestal and the torque surface is on the opposite side to that.
- A corresponding surface of an
axle stub 3 is manufactured with the same degree of accuracy. Thus, when bringing thetorque surface 11b of theaxle hole 11 and a corresponding surface of an axle stub in abutment, due to the high degree of accuracy of manufacturing of these surfaces it is possible to position the shoe roll with a degree of accuracy not possible with prior art solutions having a rocker bearing in the pedestal. - At an inner side of the
pedestal 1, that is, a side, which is directed towards the center of the paper or board machine, aferrule 5 as an axially elongated annular structure, is connected with the pedestal. According to the embodiment, theferrule 5 is connected with the pedestal by means ofbolts 55. - The
ferrule 5 is an annular member. It is connected with thepedestal 1 in a manner that its center axis OF deviates from the center axis OP of the pedestal. Thus, due to shifting of theferrule 5, it is possible to achieve a required degree of eccentricity. - In a shoe roll end module 2, the
ferrule 5 is inserted into an inner bore of theroll head 7. Theroll head 7 has an inner static structure and an outer dynamic (rotating) structure. Abearing 75 and aseal 77 connect these two structures of the roll head and prevent leakage of fluid, e.g. lubrication fluid. The roll head supports thebelt 71. A bellows 74 connects theroll head 7 with the pedestal and prevents contamination of the inner portions of theroll head 7. So the roll end module 2 is compact and easy to assemble together without a need to fit each piece to the axle separately. There is only one fitting for the whole end module so that a prefabricated end module can be assembled to the axle with one lifting. - Moreover, the
ferrule 5 has aflange 51 at its distal end, i.e. theflange 51 is provided at the side distanced from thepedestal 1. Theflange 51 extends radially outwards and has two functions, which will be described later. Furthermore, there is a distance between an inner surface of theferrule 5 and theaxle 3 of the shoe roll. - In its bore, the
roll head 7 has a radially inwards extendingflange 73, which cooperates with aflange 51 at the distal end of theferrule 5. Theflange 51 extends radially outwards. - Thus, the
flange 51 serves to secure theroll head 7 by getting into abutment with aflange 73 of the roll head. That is, theflange 73 is provided radially inwards and is arranged in an axial position between thepedestal 1 and theflange 51 of theferrule 5. - Secondly, since the
flange 51 forms anannular gap 53 with theflange 73 provided at theroll head 7, by sealing the respective circumferential surfaces of theflanges Fig. 3 , the gap can be used as a hydraulic or pneumatic chamber. Then, by introducing a fluid into the annular gap, movement of the roll head towards the pedestal can be performed. This is done for instance to adjust the belt's 71 tension or position. - Accordingly, the
roll head 7 can be moved towards the pedestal (infig. 3 towards the left side, inFig. 4 to the right side) by supplying a fluid under pressure into theannular gap 53. That is, the annular gap serves as a pressure fluid chamber. - The
roll head 7 is connected with thepedestal 1 by means of indexing means having a rod shape. In the embodiment ofFig. 3 , theseindexing rods 9 are formed by a single action cylinder extending through abore 15 provided in thepedestal 1 and being in thread engagement with a thread bore 72 in theroll head 7. - According to the embodiment, three
such indexing rods 9 are provided. However, the number of indexing rods can be arbitrarily chosen, as long as there is more than one indexing rod. Moreover, it is important that the indexing rods are arranged in such a manner that axial forces are evenly distributed in order to prevent buckling and jamming of the indexing rods. - The indexing rod will be now described mainly by focusing on
Fig. 4 . It is to be noted that the same indexing means is applied with the embodiment ofFig. 3 , but several components of the indexing means are shown inFig. 4 only. On the other side,Fig. 3 shows some other elements required for the indexing such as theannular gap 53, which is used as a hydraulic chamber in the embodiment. - Each
indexing rod 9 is provided with a fixedindexing head 91 on its outer end, that is, an end on the outer side of thepedestal 1. Moreover, anindexing nut 95 is arranged coaxially with theindexing rod 9 and theindexing head 91 such that it is arranged radially outside of theindexing rod 9, but radially inside of theindexing head 91. Moreover, theindexing nut 95 is in thread engagement with theindexing rod 9 by means of athread 98. On its end directed to thepedestal 1, theindexing nut 95 has astopper collar 97 having a tapered section and scale means 94. - Thus, it can be said that the
indexing nut 95 is movable together with theindexing head 91 when the indexing head is moved by means of theindexing rod 9 to an outer side of the pedestal, that is, towards the left side inFig. 3 and to the right side inFig. 4 , respectively. Moreover, by engagingrecesses 97a (seeFig. 1 ) provided in thestopper collar 97 by means of a tool and rotating thestopper collar 97, a distance between the indexingnut 95 and theindexing head 91 can be appropriately set as is required. In particular, for accurately setting the distance, a scale means is provided on theindexing nut 95. Since the roll head is moving together with theindexing rod 9, thereby the roll head's 7 distance towards the inner side of thepedestal 1 can be appropriately set as desired. - With regard to
Fig. 3 , a distance between theindexing head 91 and thestopper collar 97 is rather small. That is, theindexing head 91 is almost fully covering theindexing nut 95. In contrast,Fig. 4 depicts a situation where theindexing nut 95 has been rotated to such an extent that the distance between theindexing head 91 and thestopper collar 97 is almost extended to the greatest possible distance. Thus, theroll head 7 inFig. 4 is moved much closer to thepedestal 1 than inFig. 3 . - Thus, by increasing a distance between the
stopper collar 97 and theindexing head 91 by means of rotating the indexing nut 95 a distance between theroll head 7 and thepedestal 1 is reduced. On the other side, by decreasing the distance between thestopper collar 97 and theindexing head 91, the distance between theroll head 7 and thepedestal 1 can be increased. - According to the embodiment, such a movement of the
roll head 7 in the direction away from thepedestal 1 is effected by means of compression springs 92 and 93. Thesesprings indexing rod 9, and are accommodated in aspring pocket 17 provided on the inner side of the pedestal 1 (the side directed to the machine center and theroll head 7, respectively). - In the above, merely a thread engagement between the
indexing head 91 and theindexing nut 95 was mentioned, since such an actuation could be sufficient for indexing. However, according to the embodiment, an outwards movement of theindexing head 91 is effected hydraulically. That is, when supplying a corresponding fluid such as hydraulic oil into theannular gap 53 formed between the static part of theroll head 7 and theferrule 5, a distance between theflange 51 of theferrule 5 and theflange 73 of the roll head increases (seeFig. 3 ). - Thereby, movement of the
whole roll head 7 towards thepedestal 1 is effected against the spring forces of thesprings roll head 7, theindexing head 91 being in thread engagement with theindexing nut 95 is moved into an axial direction of theindexing rod 9, i.e. towards an outer side of the pedestal. Thereby, an abutment between thestopper collar 97 and thepedestal 1 is released, and the distance between thestopper collar 97 and the pedestal is increased as long as theroll head 7 is moved towards the pedestal. - When the
roll head 7 achieves a desired position, or preferably a position slightly beyond the desired position towards thepedestal 1, theindexing nut 95 is rotated such that thestopper collar 97 again approaches thepedestal 1. This rotation is performed until the scale on theindexing nut 95 shows the desired distance. In this state, if the position of theroll head 7 is slightly beyond the desired position (the distance between the inner side of thepedestal 1 and the roll head is too short), there is still a small gap between thestopper collar 97 and thepedestal 1. - This small gap is removed by releasing the hydraulic pressure from the
annular gap 53. That is, by releasing the hydraulic pressure, the spring forces of the extendingsprings roll head 7 towards the machine center. Accordingly, the distance between theroll head 7 and thepedestal 1 is again increased until the stopper collar (ring part) 97 of theindexing nut 95 gets into abutment with thepedestal 1. Then, the desired position of theroll head 7 is set. Axial movements of theindexing rod 9 into both directions are facilitated by means of aslide bushing 96 provided in thebore 15. - The invention has been described by means of a presently preferred embodiment, but its scope is merely defined by the attached claims. In particular, a combination of hydraulically actuated indexing rods and rods operating by thread engagement can be applied.
