METHOD OF AN D APPARATU Application filed September 7, 1923. Serial No. 661,418.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ANTON J. HAUG, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Nashua, in the county of Hillsborough 6 and State of New Hamphire, have invented an Improvement in Methods of and Apparatus for Working Paper Stock, of which the following description, in connection with the accompanying drawings, is
a specification, like characters on the drawings representing like parts.
This invention relates to methods of and apparatus for working paper stock, and has for its object the provision of improved methods and appliances which may be employed in preparing crude pulp from raw material, in working the crude pulp into a more refined state, in working over and rendering usable tailings or residue from screened stock, or for other purposes.
For illustrative purposes the invention is herein shown embodied in a machine of the general type illustrated in my former Patent No. 1,443,410, dated January 30, 1923, and my co-pending application Serial No. 459,057, filed April 6, 1921.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the following description when taken in connection with the accompanying illustration of one specific embodiment thereof, while its scope will be more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawings,
Fig. 1 is an elevation, principally in longitudinal section, showing a machine embodying one form of the invention;
Fig. 2 is a transverse, sectional elevation on line 22 in Fig. 1, the variable transmission and stand therefor being shown in elevation; and V Fig. 3 is a similar section on the line 33 in Fig. 1.
Referring to the drawings and to the embodimentof the invention therein illustrated, I have shown the same exemplified in a. machine of'the type described in my aforesaid application and patent, the same having a body or casing 3 and provided with an internakcylindrical shell 5 carried by suitable supports 7 which rest on the bedplate 9.
The casing is herein fixed, but thesame might have a motion of rotation either with or without bodilyfmovement of the rolls hereinafter referred to. A housing ll secured at one end of the casing contains within it an inlet chamber 13 into which the stock may be introduced through a. suitable inlet passage from an overhead hopper 15, the latter containing a feeding device 17. The stock is progressively advanced from the inlet chamber through the .casing to a discharge chamber 19 formed within the casing 21 secured to the opposite end of the casing 3, there being provided at the bottom of the discharge chamber an outlet passage 23 through which the workedover stock is discharged. p
In its travel through the casing, the stock is subjected to a succession of reducing actions by some crushing agency, preferably by means of heavy rolls 25. Any desired number of rolls may be provided, but herein the machine is equipped with four. The rolls extend lengthwise the cylinder and are adapted to bear against the stock distributed over the inner face thereof, the rolls being carried around the inside of the cylinder by suitable supports, so that they are caused to move bodily In a closed orbital path while also undergoing a suitable rotation, and in their movement to roll over and crush the stock. c
The rolls and their supports are substantially similar to those shown in my aforesaid prior application, being provided with shafts 27 journaled at both ends in bearing boxes 29, which latter are adapted to move radially inwardly or' outwardly and also to permit the rolls to tip or rock more orless. For this purpose the bearing boxes 29 are trunnioned at opposite sides each in a yoke 30, and the latter are mounted to slide radially in pairs of guides provided in spiders 31. The two opposite spiders are keyed to amain driving shaft 33 to rotate therewith, so that when the shaft is rotated it carries with it the spiders, the bearings and the rolls, forcing the latter out against theinner surface of the shell by centrifugal force, while at the same time the rolls are carried bodily through an orbital path within the shell.
A casing 35 at the inlet end of the machine and a casing 37 at the outlet provide respective chambers for the journal supports for the rolls at opposite ends of the machine, these chambers being separated from the pulp-receiving inlet and outlet chambers of the machine by partitions and packing devices. similar to those described in my aforesaid co-pen'ding application.
The illustrated form of machine is also shown equipped with conveying devices 39 for progressively advancing the stock through the machine at a predetermined rate and subjecting it to, a succession of predetermined crushing actions, and with scraping devices 41 for preventing the stock from building up on the rolls, substantially sifnilar to those described in detail in m aforesaid co-pending application.
In a machine of this type, it has been found desirable to impart by extraneous means a rotary movement to the crushing rolls each about its own axis, as well as the described bodily movement through an orbital path. It is often desirable to have this rotary movement of the rolls take place at a speed whichcorresponds to a rolling contact of the roll on the surface of the stock. It may, however, desirable at times to have provision for altering the speed of rotation of the rolls to impart a slight slip thereto either backward or forward with reference to the stock over which the roll is traveling. Where the rolls have been driven, as has sometimes been done,
through .means of a fixed internal gear meshing with pinions carried by the roll shafts, it is impossible to obtain a gearing ratio which will drive the rolls positively at all times with true rolling contact over the stock. .Any slight wear in the surface of the roll reduces the diameter thereof but leaves the gearing ratio unchanged, and thereby provides a speed of rotation different from that of true rolling contact and imparts a backward slip or -draw to the action of the roll. On the other hand, if pulp clings to the roll, the latter may temporarily become greater in diameter and produce a forward slip or. draw with relation to the stock. Theaction of the rollsflwill vary in'respect to this action with different classes of stock. In practice,
it has been found the rolls work most efliciently and with the least consumption of power with any given class of stock at a definite speed of rotation, this speed often closely approximating that which corresponds to rolling contact.
In the illustrated form of the invention, I have provided driving mechanism whereby the rolls may be positively turned while .in contact with the stock but at a speed i which may be varied or adjusted from time to timeiand, when desired, may be made equivalent to the speed of rolling contact.
For this purpose each roll shaft 27 carries at the delivery end of the machine within the casing 37 a pinion 43 meshing with the teeth of an internalgear 45. The
internal gear 45 is carried by a shell 47 which is rotatably mounted within the easlatter is provided, with a worm gear 49 'meshing with the worm 51, the latter carsiredspeed of rotation may be imparted to the rolls. This may be varied from time to time to meet different conditionsof stock, or to allow for wear of the rolls, or to secure exact rolling contact, or any other. desired speed may be provided havj ing for 'its'object either a forward or backward slip of the rolls relative to the stock.
To adjustably drive the internal gear shell, the worm gear shaft carries at its end a beveled pinion meshing with a beveled gear 57, the latter driven by means of friction cone pulleys 59 and 61 and the adjustable belt drive 63, the latter mounted in a suitable frame and constituting a speed varying device for varying at will the speed of rotation of the internal gear shell. The friction cone drive pulley 61 is herein driven from the main driving shaft by means of the belt 65 and driven pulley 67. v
Various-other devices may be employed, all within the scope of this invention, for varying the rotary movement of the rolls, either individually or together. Where a planetary gearingdrive is'utilized, as here? in, movement may be imparted to the internal gear or other gearing member employed by any suitable means. In the il-' lustrated form of the invention, however, the driving movement imparted to the internal'gear or regulating member of the system is not only positive, but may be in either direction so that, within any reasonable limits, any desired speed of the rolls may be had accompanied either by a backward or a forward slip or draw.
While I have herein shown and described for the purposes of illustration one specific embodiment of the invention, it is to be understood that extensive deviations may be made from the form or arrangement of parts herein shown, and that wide departures may be had from the illustrated embodiment and the application herein made of the invention, all without departing from the spirit thereof.
