Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of papermaking equipment, and in particular to a water needle movement control device and control method for a papermaking machine. Background Art
[0002] The paper threading water needle is an indispensable device in the continuous production of papermaking. It is fixed on the crossbeam structure of the papermaking machine's wire section. Its working principle is to allow extremely fine water jets to spray onto the surface of the fabric and the pulp and paper web, cutting the pulp and paper web on the fabric into narrow small strips suitable for paper threading. The small strips are then widened into a whole paper surface through the wire section of the papermaking machine, thereby realizing continued production.
[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN116240747B discloses a paper feed needle device for a papermaking machine, which includes: a crossbeam frame, a paper feed needle, a first sprocket, a second sprocket, a motor, a handwheel, a first clutch mechanism and a second clutch mechanism, wherein the first sprocket and the second sprocket are installed in the crossbeam frame for rotation at intervals; a chain is installed on the first sprocket and the second sprocket; a paper feed needle is provided on the chain; the output end of the motor is connected to the first sprocket via the first clutch mechanism, and the handwheel is connected to the second sprocket via the second clutch mechanism, and the handwheel can be connected to or disconnected from the first sprocket by moving the first clutch mechanism, and can be connected to or disconnected from the second sprocket by moving the second clutch mechanism.
[0004] Regarding the above-mentioned related technologies, when switching from mechanical drive to manual drive, it is necessary to disconnect the motor through the first clutch mechanism and then connect the hand wheel and the second sprocket through the second clutch mechanism, which is relatively cumbersome.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clutch sleeve is in the automatic position, the third clutch tooth is axially engaged with the first clutch tooth, and the limiting structure keeps the clutch sleeve in the automatic position.

[0036] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Figure 15 This application is described in further detail.
[0037] Example 1: Example 1 discloses a paper machine water needle movement control device, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the paper machine water needle movement control device includes a beam frame 10, a water needle structure 2, a driving sprocket 102, a driven sprocket 103, a chain 101, a motor 31, a hand wheel 32 and a clutch switching mechanism 1. The beam frame 10 is a long shell structure with a long strip notch 100. The beam frame 10 is installed above the paper machine mesh part. The driving sprocket 102 and the driven sprocket 103 are respectively rotatably arranged at the two ends of the length direction inside the beam frame 10. The driving sprocket 102 is coaxially fixed with a transmission cylinder 5. The transmission The cylinder 5 is arranged to rotate relative to the crossbeam frame 10 through the rotating seat 105, and the chain 101 passes around the driving sprocket 102 and the driven sprocket 103; the water needle structure 2 includes a seat body 21 and a water needle head 22 arranged on the seat body 21, and the bottom inner bottom of the crossbeam frame 10 is provided with a slide rail 23 extending along its own length direction. The seat body 21 slides with the slide rail 23, and the seat body 21 is fixedly connected to the chain 101. One side of the seat body 21 extends from the notch 100 of the crossbeam frame 10 to the outside, so that the water needle head 22 is located on the outside of the crossbeam frame 10.
[0038] The rotation of the driving sprocket 102 drives the chain 101 to move, thereby driving the water needle head 22 to move along the length direction of the crossbeam frame 10 to control the movement and stop position of the water needle head 22.
[0039] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the motor 31 and the handwheel 32 are respectively located on both axial sides of the driving sprocket 102. Specifically, the main body of the motor 31 is installed on the outer wall of the crossbeam frame 10, and the output shaft of the motor 31 extends into the interior of the crossbeam frame 10. The output shaft of the motor 31 is coaxial with the transmission cylinder 5 of the driving sprocket 102. The handwheel 32 rotates with the crossbeam frame 10. The handwheel 32 is coaxial with the transmission cylinder 5 of the driving sprocket 102. The output shaft of the motor 31 is fixed with a first clutch tooth 311, and the center of the handwheel 32 is fixed with a second clutch tooth 321. The first clutch tooth 311 and the second clutch tooth 321 are triangular in shape.
[0040] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the clutch switching mechanism 1 includes a clutch sleeve 11, a limiting structure and a push-pull shaft 12. The outer wall of the clutch sleeve 11 and the inner wall of the transmission cylinder 5 are prevented from rotating and axially slidingly matched (preventing rotation means that the clutch sleeve 11 cannot rotate relative to the transmission cylinder 5, and the torque of the clutch sleeve 11 can drive the transmission cylinder 5 to rotate). Specifically, both ends of the inner circumference of the transmission cylinder 5 are fixed with internal splines 51, and both ends of the outer circumference of the clutch sleeve 11 are fixed with external splines 111. The internal splines 51 and the external splines 111 cooperate to allow the clutch sleeve 11 to slide axially relative to the transmission cylinder 5, and at the same time, the torque of the clutch sleeve 11 can be transmitted to the transmission cylinder 5.
[0041] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the third clutch tooth 112 and the fourth clutch tooth 113 are fixed to both ends of the clutch sleeve 11 respectively, wherein the third clutch tooth 112 is arranged toward the first clutch tooth 311, and the fourth clutch tooth 113 is arranged toward the second clutch tooth 321, and the third clutch tooth 112 and the fourth clutch tooth 113 are triangular in shape.
[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, the push-pull shaft 12 is arranged in the clutch sleeve 11, and one end of the push-pull shaft 12 passes through the hole at the center of the handwheel 32 and is located on the outside of the handwheel 32. The end is easy for the operator to hold the push-pull shaft 12. The push-pull shaft 12 and the clutch sleeve 11 rotate coaxially and are axially limited. Specifically, the inner circumferential surface of the clutch sleeve 11 is protruded with a circle of annular protrusions 114, and the annular protrusions 114 are coaxially arranged with the clutch sleeve 11. Two first shaft shoulders 121 are fixed to the outer circumference of the push-pull shaft 12. The two first shaft shoulders 121 are respectively located on both sides of the axial direction of the annular protrusions 114. Between the clutch sleeve 11 and the push-pull shaft 12 Two angular contact ball bearings 122 are arranged back to back. The inner rings of the two angular contact ball bearings 122 are fixed to the two first shaft shoulders 121 respectively, and the outer rings of the angular contact ball bearings 122 are fixed to the inner wall of the clutch sleeve 11. The angular contact ball bearings 122 can withstand axial and radial forces. In this way, the axial movement of the push-pull shaft 12 will drive the clutch sleeve 11 to move axially synchronously. At the same time, the clutch sleeve 11 can rotate relative to the push-pull shaft 12, and the torque of the clutch sleeve 11 will not be transmitted to the push-pull shaft 12, thereby reducing the damage to the operator's hands caused by the rotating push-pull shaft 12.
[0043] The two positions of the axial movement of the clutch sleeve 11 in the transmission cylinder 5 are set as the automatic position and the manual position respectively. Figure 3 The position of the middle clutch sleeve 11 is the automatic position. When the clutch sleeve 11 is in the automatic position, the third clutch tooth 112 is axially engaged with the first clutch tooth 311, and the torque of the motor 31 is transmitted to the driving sprocket 102 in turn through the cooperation between the third clutch tooth 112 and the first clutch tooth 311 and the anti-rotation cooperation between the clutch sleeve 11 and the transmission cylinder 5. The driving sprocket 102 drives the chain 101 and the water needle structure 2 to slide along the length direction of the crossbeam frame 10.
[0044] Figure 6 The position of the middle clutch sleeve 11 is the manual position. When the clutch sleeve 11 is in the manual position, the fourth clutch tooth 113 is axially engaged with the second clutch tooth 321, and the torque of the handwheel 32 is transmitted to the driving sprocket 102 in turn through the cooperation between the fourth clutch tooth 113 and the second clutch tooth 321 and the anti-rotation cooperation between the clutch sleeve 11 and the transmission cylinder 5. The driving sprocket 102 drives the chain 101 and the water needle structure 2 to slide along the length direction of the crossbeam frame 10.
[0045] like Figure 5 、 Figure 7 As shown, the limiting structure is used to keep the clutch sleeve 11 in the automatic position or the manual position. Specifically, the limiting structure includes a limiting convex ring 61, two sets of steel balls 62 and a limiting spring 63. The limiting convex ring 61 is coaxially fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the clutch sleeve 11. The cross-sectional shape of the limiting convex ring 61 is an isosceles triangle. The two conical surfaces of the limiting convex ring 61 are respectively set as a first conical surface 611 and a second conical surface 612. The second conical surface 612 is set away from the motor 31 relative to the first conical surface 611. Two groups of steel balls 62 are arranged axially at intervals along the transmission cylinder 5. One group of steel balls 62 includes multiple steel balls 62 evenly arranged circumferentially along the transmission cylinder 5. The steel balls 62 radially slide with the sliding holes 52 opened in the transmission cylinder 5. The limit spring 63 is located in the sliding hole 52. The elastic force of the limit spring 63 is used to force the steel balls 62 to slide toward the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 5. In addition, the radial distance between the inner wall of the transmission cylinder 5 and the outer wall of the clutch sleeve 11 is smaller than the radius of the steel balls 62, so that the steel balls 62 are not easy to fall out of the sliding hole 52 and the steel balls 62 are not easy to move.
[0046] This embodiment also discloses a control method for a water needle movement control device for a paper machine, which comprises the following steps: when the clutch sleeve 11 is in the automatic position (see Figure 3 and Figure 5 ), the third clutch tooth 112 is axially engaged with the first clutch tooth 311, the steel ball 62 abuts against the second conical surface 612, and the radial elastic force of the limit spring 63 is converted into an axial elastic force through the second conical surface 612 to force the third clutch tooth 112 to tightly engage with the first clutch tooth 311. The torque of the motor 31 is sequentially transmitted to the driving sprocket 102 through the cooperation between the third clutch tooth 112 and the first clutch tooth 311 and the anti-rotation cooperation between the clutch sleeve 11 and the transmission cylinder 5. The driving sprocket 102 drives the chain 101 and the water needle structure 2 to slide along the length direction of the crossbeam frame 10.
[0047] When the mechanical drive is switched to manual drive, the push-pull shaft 12 is moved, and the push-pull shaft 12 drives the clutch sleeve 11 to move axially relative to the transmission cylinder 5 in the direction toward the handwheel 32. The third clutch tooth 112 disengages from the first clutch tooth 311, and the axial force of the push-pull shaft 12 drives the limiting convex ring 61 to move relative to the steel ball 62. The steel ball 62 is pressed into the sliding hole 52 under the guidance of the second conical surface 612, that is, the steel ball 62 avoids the limiting convex ring 61, and the limiting convex ring 61 and the clutch sleeve 11 can continue to move axially to another group of steel balls 62. At this time, the second conical surface 612 of the limiting convex ring 61 first contacts the bottom of the group of steel balls 62 to press the steel ball 62 into the sliding hole 52, so that the first conical surface 611 of the limiting convex ring 61 can axially pass over the steel ball 62, and the push-pull shaft 12 drives the clutch sleeve 11 to continue to move axially until the fourth clutch tooth 113 is axially engaged with the second clutch tooth 321 (see Figure 6 and Figure 7 ), at this time, the steel ball 62 abuts against the first conical surface 611, and the radial elastic force of the limit spring 63 is converted into an axial elastic force through the first conical surface 611, forcing the fourth clutch tooth 113 and the second clutch tooth 321 to fit tightly together. The torque of the handwheel 32 is transmitted to the driving sprocket 102 in turn through the cooperation between the fourth clutch tooth 113 and the second clutch tooth 321 and the anti-rotation cooperation between the clutch sleeve 11 and the transmission cylinder 5.
[0048] Since the limiting effect of the limiting structure mainly comes from the elastic force of the limiting spring 63, the greater the elastic force of the limiting spring 63, the more difficult it is for the first clutch tooth 311 and the third clutch tooth 112 to disengage axially. Therefore, in other embodiments, the elastic coefficient of the limiting spring 63 can be set, and the elastic coefficient of the limiting spring 63 corresponding to the steel ball 62 close to the motor 31 is greater than the elastic coefficient of the limiting spring 63 corresponding to the steel ball 62 close to the handwheel 32, thereby improving the anti-axial disengagement ability under mechanical drive and improving the easy axial push-pull ability under manual drive.
[0049] Secondly, in other embodiments, an in-position sensor can also be set in the crossbeam frame 10. When the clutch sleeve 11 moves axially to a position where it is disconnected from the output shaft of the motor 31, or the clutch sleeve 11 moves axially to a position where it begins to connect with the handwheel 32, the in-position sensor detects that the clutch sleeve 11 is in the above position, and the in-position sensor stops the motor 31 through the controller.
[0050] The implementation principle of Example 1 is: by setting the push-pull shaft 12, the clutch sleeve 11 and the transmission cylinder 5, a single axial movement of the push-pull shaft 12 can disconnect the connection between the motor 31 and the driving sprocket 102, and complete the connection between the handwheel 32 and the driving sprocket 102, that is, quickly switch the mechanical drive and manual drive states, which is more convenient, and because the push-pull shaft 12 and the clutch sleeve 11 rotate relative to each other, the push-pull shaft 12 can be directly operated without stopping the motor 31, and the torque of the clutch sleeve 11 rotated under mechanical drive will not be transmitted to the push-pull shaft 12 and damage the operator's hands, which is safer.
[0051] Example 2: Example 2 makes the following settings based on Example 1, such as Figure 8 As shown, the paper machine water needle movement control device also includes a braking structure, which includes an elastic rod 71. The elastic rod 71 is vertically arranged, and the lower end of the elastic rod 71 is fixed to the inner wall of the crossbeam frame 10. The upper end of the elastic rod 71 is fixed with a rubber head 72, and the rubber head 72 is located on the axial movement path of the external spline 111 toward the handwheel 32.
[0052] When the push-pull shaft 12 is moved axially to disconnect the clutch sleeve 11 from the output shaft of the rotating motor 31, the driving sprocket 102 will continue to rotate due to rotational inertia. At this time, the external spline 111 of the clutch sleeve 11 moves to the rubber head 72. The external spline 111 interferes and collides with the rubber head 72 as the driving sprocket 102 rotates. The collision force forces the elastic rod 71 to elastically avoid the external spline 111, so that the rubber head 72 and the external spline 111 maintain a friction state and will not be directly stuck on the external spline 111. The friction braking force is used to stop the driving sprocket 102 and the clutch sleeve 11 from rotating, so that the stationary clutch sleeve 11 and the handwheel 32 can be connected.
[0053] Example 3: Example 3 is different from Example 1 in that Figure 9 、 Figure 10 As shown, the clutch sleeve 11 includes a first sleeve body 15 and a second sleeve body 16 which are separated along the axial direction, the third clutch tooth 112 is fixed to the end of the first sleeve body 15 away from the second sleeve body 16, and the fourth clutch tooth 113 is fixed to the end of the second sleeve body 16 away from the first sleeve body 15.
[0054] like Figure 11 、 Figure 12 As shown, the inner circumferences of the first sleeve 15 and the second sleeve 16 are respectively fixed with a first annular convex portion 151 and a second annular convex portion 161, the push-pull shaft 12 is provided with a push-pull sleeve 13 when it rotates, and the push-pull shaft 12 can drive the push-pull sleeve 13 to move axially synchronously. The matching structure between the push-pull sleeve 13 and the push-pull shaft 12 can refer to the structure of the combination of the angular contact ball bearing 122, the first shaft shoulder 121 and the annular convex portion 114 in Example 1. The end of the push-pull sleeve 13 facing the motor 31 is sleeved with a second shaft shoulder 131, and the end of the push-pull sleeve 13 facing the hand wheel 32 is fixed with the second annular convex portion 131. 161 are fixed, that is, the push-pull shaft 12 can drive the push-pull sleeve 13 and the second sleeve 16 to move axially synchronously. The push-pull sleeve 13 is provided with a reset spring 132. The two ends of the reset spring 132 respectively abut against the second shaft shoulder 131 and the opposite surfaces of the first annular protrusion 151. The elastic force of the reset spring 132 is used to force the first annular protrusion 151 and the second annular protrusion 161 to abut axially. In this axial abutment state, there is an avoidance gap between the opposite end faces of the first sleeve 15 and the second sleeve 16 to provide an avoidance space for the elastic deflection of the first spring piece 65 and the second spring piece 66.
[0055] like Figure 11 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 As shown, the limiting structure includes multiple groups of springs, two groups of steel balls 62 and limiting springs 63. The two groups of steel balls 62 are arranged axially at intervals along the transmission cylinder 5. One group of steel balls 62 includes multiple steel balls 62 arranged circumferentially at intervals along the transmission cylinder 5. The steel balls 62 are radially slidably fitted with the sliding holes 52 opened on the inner wall of the transmission cylinder 5. The cross-sectional profile of the sliding hole 52 is square. The limiting spring 63 is used to force the steel balls 62 to slide toward the axial direction of the transmission cylinder 5.
[0056] like Figure 12 、 Figure 13As shown, each group of spring pieces is arranged corresponding to each steel ball 62 in the same group. A group of spring pieces includes two first spring pieces 65 and one second spring piece 66. The first spring piece 65 and the second spring piece 66 are both V-shaped. The bending parts of the first spring piece 65 and the second spring piece 66 are both away from the axis of the clutch sleeve 11. One end of the first spring piece 65 is fixed to the end of the first sleeve body 15, and one end of the second spring piece 66 is fixed to the end of the second sleeve body 16. The second spring piece 66 is located in the circumferential gap between the two second spring pieces 66, and the second spring piece 66 is axially offset from the first spring piece 65 along the clutch sleeve 11.
[0057] The two inclined surfaces of the first spring piece 65 are designated as a first inclined surface 651 and a second inclined surface 652, respectively. The two inclined surfaces of the second spring piece 66 are designated as a third inclined surface 661 and a fourth inclined surface 662, respectively. A chamfered surface 521 is provided on the edge of the sliding hole 52 near the motor 31. The angle between the chamfered surface 521 and the edge of the second inclined surface 652 is 2° to 25°.
[0058] When the clutch sleeve 11 is in the automatic position (see Figure 12 ), the third clutch tooth 112 is axially engaged with the first clutch tooth 311, the first annular protrusion 151 is axially abutted against the second annular protrusion 161 under the elastic force of the return spring 132, and the elastic force of the limit spring 63 forces the steel ball 62 to abut against the opposite edges of the second inclined surfaces 652 of the two adjacent first elastic sheets 65 (see Figure 12 and Figure 13 ), the radial elastic force of the limit spring 63 is converted into an axial elastic force through the edge of the second inclined surface 652 to force the third clutch tooth 112 to tightly fit with the first clutch tooth 311, and the elastic force of the limit spring 63 also causes the steel ball 62 to be stuck in the angle area between the chamfered surface 521 and the edge of the second inclined surface 652, so as to increase the difficulty of the clutch sleeve 11 axially disengaging from the motor 31. Therefore, the torque of the motor 31 is transmitted to the driving sprocket 102 in sequence through the cooperation between the third clutch tooth 112 and the first clutch tooth 311 and the anti-rotation cooperation between the clutch sleeve 11 and the transmission cylinder 5.
[0059] When the mechanical drive is switched to manual drive, the push-pull shaft 12 is first moved to drive the push-pull sleeve 13, the second sleeve 16 and the second spring piece 66 to move axially a certain distance toward the handwheel 32. Since the steel ball 62 has a clamping force on the first spring piece 65, the first sleeve 15 remains stationary, and the second annular protrusion 161 and the second sleeve 16 move axially away from the first sleeve 15. At the same time, the reset spring 132 is compressed. At this time, the third inclined surface 661 of the second spring piece 66 abuts against the bottom of the steel ball 62. Under the guidance of the bottom of the steel ball 62, the second spring piece 66 elastically deflects toward the axis of the clutch sleeve 11. The elastic force of the second spring piece 66 and the abutment point position of the third inclined surface 661 relative to the steel ball 62 change with the movement of the second sleeve 16 (the elastic force of the second spring piece 66 gradually increases, and the direction in which the third inclined surface 661 exerts force on the steel ball 62 gradually becomes flat). The second spring piece 66 pushes the steel ball 62 from the angle area between the chamfered surface 521 and the edge of the second inclined surface 652 into the sliding hole 52, that is, the embedded state of the steel ball 62 is released. After the steel ball 62 is separated from the chamfered surface 521, the limiting effect of the steel ball 62 on the first spring piece 65 is weakened, and the push-pull shaft 12 is moved to drive the push-pull sleeve 13, the first sleeve 15 and the second sleeve 16 to move axially a distance toward the hand wheel 32 (the axial movement force of the second sleeve 16 will be transmitted to the first sleeve 15 through the return spring 132 to drive the first sleeve 15 to move axially synchronously), so that the third clutch tooth 112 is separated from the first clutch tooth 311 until the fourth clutch tooth 113 is axially engaged with the second clutch tooth 321. At this time, another group of steel balls 62 abut against the fourth inclined surface 662 of the second spring piece 66 (see Figure 14 ), the radial elastic force of the limit spring 63 is converted into an axial elastic force through the fourth inclined surface 662, which forces the fourth clutch tooth 113 to tightly fit with the second clutch tooth 321. The torque of the handwheel 32 is transmitted to the driving sprocket 102 in sequence through the cooperation between the fourth clutch tooth 113 and the second clutch tooth 321 and the anti-rotation cooperation between the clutch sleeve 11 and the transmission cylinder 5.
[0060] In summary, since the steel ball 62 only abuts against the fourth inclined surface 662 of the second spring piece 66, the steel ball 62 is not in an embedded state. Therefore, when the push-pull shaft 12 subsequently moves to disconnect the handwheel 32, the steel ball 62 can be easily pushed into the sliding hole 52, thereby improving the anti-axial disengagement ability under mechanical drive and improving the easy axial push-pull ability under manual drive.
[0061] Example 4: Example 4 makes the following settings based on Example 3, such as Figure 15 As shown, a rubber block 522 is bonded to the chamfered surface 521 , and one surface of the rubber block 522 is flush with the inner wall of the sliding hole 52 .
[0062] When the steel ball 62 is in the engaged state, the steel ball 62 compresses the rubber block 522 , and the friction of the rubber block 522 is used to further limit the steel ball 62 , thereby improving the anti-axial separation capability of the clutch sleeve 11 under mechanical drive.
[0063] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
