TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of corrugated paper, and in particular to a preheater for preparing corrugated paperboard. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the process of making corrugated paperboard, in the early preparation link, first, corrugated paper or core paper (also known as inner paper) is heated to above 100 DEG C by a preheater: (1) drying part of the water; (2) providing heat for plastic deformation for the next main machine (corrugating machine) so as to avoid extrusion and cracking of the corrugated paper or core paper when being pressed and deformed by corrugating rollers; (3) providing an initial temperature for adhesion of the corrugated paper or core paper (inner paper), because the glue solution for adhesion of the corrugated paper and the core paper has a low temperature and is a semi-mature glue solution, the paper needs to have a temperature to be pasted and then firmly adhered. This is an indispensable process requirement before the corrugated paperboard is formed.
[0003] The mainstream preheater is mostly heated by steam, and the preheater is mostly made into a round roller shape, with an outer diameter of ф300-ф1200mm, a wall thickness of 8-20mm, and a roller surface width of 1400-3500mm. The left and right two end faces of the round roller are welded with outward convex heads or flat steel plate heads, and two shaft heads are inserted and welded on the inner wall of the cylinder. One end of the solid shaft head is fixed on the wall plate on one side of the equipment through a bearing, and the other end of the shaft head is a hollow shaft head which is also fixed on the wall plate on the other side of the equipment through a bearing. The hollow shaft head is connected with the steam pipeline and the rotary joint in the preheater cavity, so that hot steam can be filled in the preheater cavity under the premise of steam pressure, enough heat is provided for the paper, and the condensed water is also pressed into the siphon pipe in the core of the rotary joint in the hollow shaft head, and then the condensed water is discharged from the preheater. In this way, the steam enters from the pipeline and the rotary joint, and the water is discharged from the siphon pipe arranged in the core of the rotary joint, forming a closed heat exchange circulation path. The preheater is a pressure vessel with steam as the medium.
[0004] REFERENCE Figure 1The drawbacks and defects of traditional preheaters: ① The pursuit of large outer diameters, mostly around φ1000mm, results in excessively large container capacity. In paperboard production, the outer circle angle of the preheating roller covering the base paper rarely exceeds 180 degrees, meaning that essentially half of the paper is not covered, causing half of the heat to be wasted through radiation. ② In traditional paperboard production, the cylinder is driven by a small-power reduction motor to rotate slowly, aiming for uniform heating at every angle and part. However, the siphon tubes 8 are approximately one inch stainless steel tubes, installed on the inner core of the rotary joint at the outer end of the shaft. The siphon tube 8, fixed at the shaft end, is on the axis of the roller. Taking a φ1000mm roller as an example: the height difference between the siphon tube 8 and the bottom of the inner cavity is about 500mm, while the inner hole of the shaft end is often around φ60mm and about 500mm long. Moreover, the bent siphon tube 8 not only needs to ensure the bending height difference, but the end of the siphon tube 8 must also be able to align with the bottom of the preheater inner cavity. The siphon tube 8 must be tangentially inside the shaft head to effectively remove condensate. This requires a large bending radius to allow it to pass smoothly through the inner hole of the shaft head and be fixed to the inner core of the rotary joint. Due to the limited diameter of the inner hole of the shaft head, it is often difficult to handle the bending radius at the 500mm end of the shaft head. If the bending is not done properly, there will often be contact between the bend and the inner wall of the shaft head. When the preheater rotates circumferentially, the bend of the siphon tube 8 will constantly rub against the inner wall of the shaft head, which can easily wear out the siphon tube 8. As a result, the siphon tube 8 cannot completely drain the condensate, often resulting in a high condensate level in the preheater, which in turn affects the temperature of the preheater and the preheating effect of the raw paper.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 The two wall plates 1 serve as the support structure of the whole preheater and provide a mounting basis for other components. The preheating cylinder 2 is arranged between the two wall plates 1. The preheating cylinder 2 is closed at both ends, and the shaft head is fixedly connected to the corresponding wall plate 1.

During work, steam enters the pressure container chamber 22 from the steam inlet pipe 23 to provide heat for the raw paper, and the steam becomes condensed water after heat release and is discharged through the water outlet pipe 24. Compared with the traditional preheater, this structure design reduces the volume of the preheater, reduces the steam volume and steam consumption, improves the heat utilization rate, and solves the problem of heat waste caused by the large capacity of the traditional preheater container.

The temperature sensor 4 is used to timely transmit the information that the steam in the pressure container chamber 22 becomes water. When the temperature sensor 4 detects a temperature change, the temperature at the bottom of the pressure container chamber 22 reaches 100 degrees (which can be set to 110 degrees), that is, the information that the steam becomes water, a signal is transmitted to the drain control system (not shown in the figure) of the intelligent temperature control system, the drain control system timely drains the condensed water, so that the pressure container chamber 22 always contains saturated steam, thereby continuously providing sufficient heat to the raw paper and ensuring the preheating effect of the raw paper.
[0033] With reference to Figure 2 And Figure 3 The paper guide roller 3 is rotatably arranged between the two wallboards 1, and the motor 5 cooperates with the gear set 6 to realize the rotation of the paper guide roller 3 relative to the preheating cylinder 2. The gear set 6 is provided with two sets and is correspondingly distributed at the two ends of the preheating cylinder 2, each set of gear set 6 includes a first gear 61 and a second gear 62.

The paper guide roller 3 and the edge of the second gear 62 are provided with a connecting seat 7, and the connecting seat 7 is correspondingly provided with two. The connecting seat 7 is fixed at the edge of the second gear 62, the end of the paper guide roller 3 is rotatably arranged on the connecting seat 7, and the paper guide roller 3 rotates relative to the connecting seat 7.

Since the paper guide roller 3 is connected with the second gear 62 through the connecting seat 7, the rotation of the second gear 62 will drive the paper guide roller 3 to move around the preheating cylinder 2 with the axial distance between the preheating cylinder 2 and the paper guide roller 3 as the rotation radius. This structure design makes the paper guide roller 3 can flexibly adjust the angle of the raw paper covering the preheating cylinder 2, so that the raw paper covers the outer wall of the preheating roller to 0-330 degrees, that is, the raw paper covering angle. The automatic angle control system (not shown in the figure) will automatically adjust the position of the paper guide roller 3 through the operation of the motor 5 according to several variable values such as the water content value of the raw paper, the gram weight value per square meter, the raw paper material type and the production line speed value, and then adjust the angle of the raw paper, realize the accurate control of the water content and preheating temperature of the raw paper, match the appropriate paperboard production speed, and achieve the effect of energy saving and consumption reduction automatic speed cruise production.
