Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of papermaking equipment technology, specifically to a limiting-type sealing and cleaning device for vacuum suction rollers. Background Technology

[0002] The main function of the press section of a paper machine is to dewater and solidify the paper sheet, while improving the paper sheet performance and increasing the wet paper web strength to improve the drying capacity of the drying section. The vacuum press roll is a key piece of equipment to realize the main function of the press section. The main feature of the vacuum roll is that there are many small-diameter through holes on the roll shell. The through holes pass through the coating layer and the body layer, and the inner cavity of the roll shell maintains a continuous vacuum during operation.

[0003] Vacuum rolls are widely used in the wire and press sections of paper machines and are core equipment of the machine. They mainly consist of a cylindrical shell, an internal vacuum chamber, and bearing support devices. The shell rotates around the vacuum chamber under the support of the bearing support devices. The shell has densely arranged small-diameter extraction holes. The vacuum chamber inside the shell is sealed to the inner wall of the shell by a sealing strip. The vacuum chamber is connected to the external vacuum system of the vacuum roll, and negative pressure is generated inside the vacuum chamber through the sealing strip. The vacuum chamber uses this negative pressure to extract water or absorb paper from the wire mesh wrapped around the shell through the extraction holes.

[0004] Currently, when the existing vacuum suction roller structure flattens the pulp, the through holes on the suction roller are easily blocked by the pulp, which can affect the performance of the vacuum suction roller structure. In addition, most existing vacuum suction rollers are completely vacuumed, which requires a lot of energy to create a vacuum, thus wasting energy. Summary of the Invention

[0031] Please see Figure 1-11This invention provides a technical solution: a limiting-type sealing cleaning device for a vacuum suction roller, comprising a roller body 1 of a vacuum suction roller, with first suction holes 101 evenly distributed on the roller body 1, and pressure caps 2 respectively provided at both ends of the roller body 1, one end of the pressure cap 2 being connected to a flange 3, and the other end of the pressure cap 2 being connected to a suction pipe 5, the pipe wall of the suction pipe 5 having a second suction hole 501, a rocker arm 4 being provided outside the suction pipe 5, the suction pipe 5 being located at the internal center of the roller body 1, the suction pipe 5 being fixed by a fixing plate 102, a cleaning device being provided on the suction pipe 5, a sealing box 6 being provided outside the suction pipe 5, and connecting devices 7 being provided on both sides of the top of the sealing box 6, the connecting devices 7 being fixed by a fixing device 8.

[0032] In the first embodiment, the cleaning device includes a slider 103 disposed on the outer side of the suction pipe 5. The slider 103 has a groove 104. A fixing ring 105 is welded to the bottom of the slider 103. The size of the fixing ring 105 matches the outer wall of the suction pipe 5. A support base 106 is welded to the bottom of the fixing ring 105. The support base 106 is fixed by screw holes 107. A support frame 108 is connected between the two grooves 104. The top plane of the support frame 108 is provided with multiple unblocking columns 109. The size of the unblocking columns 109 matches the first suction hole 101. The support frame 108 is driven by a motor to move up and down in the groove 104, thereby moving the unblocking columns 109 to clean the first suction hole.

[0033] In the second embodiment, the cleaning device includes a slider 103 disposed on the outer side of the suction pipe 5. The slider 103 has a groove 104, and a fixing ring 105 is welded to the bottom of the slider 103. The size of the fixing ring 105 matches the outer wall of the suction pipe 5. A support base 106 is welded to the bottom of the fixing ring 105, and the support base 106 is fixed by screw holes 107. A support frame 108 connects the two grooves 104, and a plurality of unblocking columns 109 are provided on the top plane of the unblocking column 109. The size of the unblocking column 109 matches the first suction hole. Matching 101, the support frame 108 moves up and down in the slide 104 driven by the motor, which drives the unblocking column 109 to move and clean the first air intake hole. Multiple sets of water spray pipes 110 are installed on one side of the support frame 108. The water spray pipes 110 are connected to high-pressure nozzles 111. When the first air intake hole 101 is not severely blocked, the water sprayed by the high-pressure nozzles 111 can clean it. When the first air intake hole 101 is severely blocked, the unblocking column 109 is used for cleaning. The two work together to better clean the first air intake hole 101.

[0034] The rocker arm 4 includes an upper clamping plate 401 and a lower clamping plate 402. A fixing hole 403 is provided between the upper and lower clamping plates. The size of the fixing hole 403 matches the suction pipe 5. A motion gear 404 is connected to the top of the upper clamping plate 401. The motion gear 404 is connected to a movable rod 405. The other end of the movable rod 405 is connected to a rotating disk 406. A rotating handle 407 is fixedly connected to the edge of the rotating disk 406. When the vacuum suction roller needs to be cleaned, the handle is manually turned to make the motion gear 404 rotate, which in turn drives the roller to rotate, making it convenient to align the unblocking column 109 and the first suction hole 101 for cleaning.

[0035] The sealing device 7 includes an upper fixed seat 701 and a lower fixed seat 702. The two fixed seats are provided with cavities 703. An I-shaped block 704 is installed in the upper part of the cavity 703, and an elastic inflation element 705 is installed in the lower part of the cavity 703. A sealing strip 706 is connected to the top of the I-shaped block 704. The sealing device 7 is located at the top of both ends of the sealing box 6. The upper fixed seat 701 and the lower fixed seat 702 are fixed by a fixing device 8.

[0036] The fixing device 8 includes a first fixing block 801 and a second fixing block 802. The outer sidewalls of the first fixing block 801 and the second fixing block 802 are provided with L-shaped fixing grooves 806. A ball bearing 803 is provided at the top of the L-shaped fixing groove 806. The ball bearing 803 is connected to an L-shaped fixing strip 804. A pull ring 805 is provided on the outer side of the end of the L-shaped fixing strip 804. The size of the L-shaped fixing strip 804 matches the L-shaped fixing groove 806. When opened, the pull ring 805 is pulled, so that the L-shaped fixing strip 804 rotates through the ball bearing 803 and disengages from the L-shaped fixing groove 806.

[0037] Working principle: During operation, the elastic inflatable element is inflated, which lifts the I-shaped block upward, causing the sealing strip and the inner wall of the roller to fit together for sealing. When the first air intake hole becomes blocked, the motor drives the support frame to move upward, causing the unblocking column to move upward and push out the contaminants from the first air intake hole for cleaning. The position of the first air intake hole can be adjusted by manually rotating the rocker arm for precise cleaning. When the elastic inflatable element needs to be replaced, the fixing device is opened to replace the elastic inflatable element. After replacement, the fixing device is closed and fixed.

[0038] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
