Detailed Implementation

[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a tissue paper manufacturing equipment for manufacturing thin paper webs 404, more specifically, for manufacturing paper webs with a density of 8-13 g / m². 2thin paper web 404, while the thin paper web 404 is creped, formed by cellulose fibers, generally has a thickness of 60-200 μm, and has a bulk of 6-20 cm 3 / g, MDT is in the range of 40-200 N / m, and CDT is in the range of 20-180 N / m.

[0031] The tissue paper manufacturing apparatus comprises a forming section 10, a press section 20 and a drying section 30.

[0032] The forming section 10 comprises a headbox 11, a forming roll 12, a forming wire 14 and a first felt 15, wherein the headbox 11 is configured to spray the cellulose fiber suspension onto the forming wire 14, the forming roll 12 is at least partially covered by the first felt 15 and is configured to dewater the cellulose fiber suspension, the first felt 15 is in the form of an endless loop, at least a portion of which is wrapped around the forming roll 12 and is configured to support the movement of the wet paper web 401, and the forming wire 14 is at least partially attached to the first felt 15 wrapped around the forming roll 12 to form a nip, and the cellulose fiber suspension is dewatered by the nip to form the wet paper web 401.

[0033] It can be understood that, on one side of the nip, the forming wire 14 and the first felt 15 form a forming zone 120, the headbox 11 comprises a plurality of nozzles configured to spray the cellulose fiber suspension, the nozzles are located in the forming zone 120, and the cellulose fiber suspension is sprayed onto the forming wire 14, generally, the position where the cellulose fiber suspension is sprayed onto the forming wire 14 is referred to as the landing point, and it can be understood that the landing point is spaced apart from the nip.

[0034] It can be understood that the forming wire 14 is wrapped around a plurality of forming rolls 13 and is in the form of an endless loop, so that the forming wire 14 circulates, and the first felt 15 is wrapped around a plurality of first rolls 16 and is in the form of an endless loop.

[0035] The press section 20 is arranged downstream of the forming section 10 and comprises a press assembly 21, the press assembly 21 comprises a first press roll 211, a second press roll 212 and a first press nip 210 between the first press roll 211 and the second press roll 212, and the press assembly 21 is configured to apply a first pressure to the wet paper web 401 passing through the press nip to form a press paper web 402.

[0036] It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the press assembly 21 is a roll press, that is, the first press roll 211 and the second press roll 212 are both rolls with cladding layers, which can be polyurethane cladding layers. In other embodiments, the press assembly 21 is a shoe press, in which the second press roll 212 is a rigid or cladded roll, and the first press roll 211 includes a shoe, a belt wrapped around the shoe, a roll driving the belt, and an application assembly inside the shoe and applying pressure to the shoe.

[0037] The press section 20 further includes a second felt 23 wrapped around the second rolls 22 and the second press roll 212, which passes through the first press zone 210 and transfers the press web 402 formed after passing through the first press zone 210 to the downstream direction.

[0038] It can be understood that the second felt 23 also has a loop shape so as to be circulated.

[0039] It can be understood that the first felt 15 also passes through the first press zone 210, and the first felt 15 and the second felt 23 form a clamping mode to the wet web 401 in the press zone. When the press assembly 21 applies the first pressure in the press zone, the water on the wet web 401 is squeezed to form dewatering, and after passing through the first press zone 210, the wet web 401 is transferred from the first felt 15 to the second felt 23 and moves with the second felt 23. It can be understood that the wet web 401 after passing through the first press zone 210 is called the press web 402. Preferably, the dryness of the wet web 401 is 15-30%, and the dryness of the press web 402 is 45-65%.

[0040] The first felt 15 and the second felt 23 can be elastically deformed in the thickness direction and can be compressed. At the same time, the ratio of the elastic modulus of the second felt 23 to the first felt 15 in the thickness direction is 1.5-3.5, that is, when being squeezed by the first pressure at the same time, the deformation of the first felt 15 in the thickness direction is greater than that of the second felt 23. At the same time, in order to make the press web 402 have sufficient dryness, the first pressure is 550 KN / m-750 KN / m. It can be understood that the first pressure is a linear pressure.

[0041] The research finds that, on the one hand, the linear pressure in the first pressure range of 550KN / m~750KN / m can make the low basis weight household paper reach sufficient dryness, especially for the lower basis weight household paper, such as less than 9g / m2, the first pressure is preferably 580KN / m~650KN / m, so that the dryness is in the appropriate range, such as less than 55% dryness, so that the wet paper web 401 has sufficient surface tension between the second felt 23 and the first felt 15 to smoothly transfer from the first felt 15 to the second felt 23.

[0042] On the other hand, under the above pressure, the elastic deformation of the second felt 23 and the first felt 15 in the thickness direction will be in the appropriate range, and at the same time, due to the first pressure roller as a force applying unit, the first felt 15 and the wet paper web 401 form a slight bending deformation in the direction of the first pressure roller during the force process, so that the low basis weight household paper is not easy to appear crushing phenomenon, especially for the lower basis weight household paper, such as 8.0~9.0g / m2 wet paper web 401, due to its lower paper thickness, the ratio of the elastic modulus of the second felt 23 and the first felt 15 needs to be larger to not easily appear crushing and have appropriate bulkiness. The research finds that, compared with the prior art, for 9.0g / m2 basis weight household paper, the above setting mode makes the crushing phenomenon average decrease by 17%.

[0043] In addition, due to the low basis weight of the low basis weight household paper, the thickness is low, so that the fibers on the corresponding area actually bear more pressure, when the second felt 23 and the first felt 15 with higher elastic modulus ratio are used, the pressure can be reduced, so that the fibers are not easy to appear discrete phenomenon, that is, the damage problem in the pressing process is also reduced.

[0044] In addition, the second felt 23 is relatively delicate compared with the first felt 15, specifically, the surface roughness Rz of the second felt 23 is ≤15μm, and the surface roughness Rz of the first felt 15 is ≥200μm, so that the low basis weight household paper can be smoothly transferred from the first felt 15 to the second felt 23 after passing through the first pressing area 210. It can be understood that the surface roughness refers to the surface roughness of the first felt 15 and the second felt 23 under the condition of not being compressed.

[0045] Further, the forming part 10 is also provided with a plurality of auxiliary dewatering devices, usually, the auxiliary dewatering device can be a vacuum dewatering roller or a vacuum dewatering box, more specifically, the vacuum dewatering box has an adsorption space communicated with a negative pressure device, the adsorption space includes an adsorption port adjacent to and facing the first felt 15, and the water in the first felt 15 and the wet paper web 401 is adsorbed and collected by the adsorption port and discharged, thereby improving the dryness of the wet paper web 401 before entering the first pressing area 210.

[0046] Further, the press section 20 can be provided with a heating device 24 configured to increase the dryness of the press web 402 by passing a hot gas stream through the press web 402, which can be a high temperature steam or hot air stream.

[0047] Further, the heating device 24 comprises a hot gas stream box and an adsorption box opposite to the hot gas stream box, the hot gas stream box and the adsorption box are respectively arranged outside the press web 402 and inside the second felt 23, the hot gas stream box comprises a gas stream opening, the adsorption box comprises an adsorption opening, the hot gas stream flows from the gas stream opening to the adsorption opening after passing through the press web 402 and the second felt 23, in this case, on the one hand, the dryness of the press web 402 can be further increased, and the energy consumption of the subsequent drying section 30 can be reduced, on the other hand, the press web 402 can be kept adhered to the second felt 23 to run.

[0048] The drying section 30 comprises a drying cylinder 31 for drying the press web 402 to form a dried web 403 and a doctor blade 33 for creping the dried web 403 to form a tissue web 404.

[0049] It can be understood that the drying cylinder 31 comprises an outer drying surface for adhering and drying the press web 402, the press section 20 further comprises a transfer roller 25 for adhering the second felt 23 to the outer drying surface, and the transfer roller 25 applies a pressure to the drying cylinder 31 to form a second press zone 250, the press web 402 is adhered and transferred to the outer drying surface after passing through the second press zone 250.

[0050] It can be understood that the transfer roller 25 is located inside the second felt 23 to form an adhesion between the outer side of the second felt 23 and the outer drying surface, so that the press web 402 is transferred to the outer drying surface.

[0051] Further, in order to easily transfer the press web 402 to the outer drying surface, the outer drying surface has a smooth surface, and additionally, a viscous material such as a cylinder paste can be sprayed on the outer drying surface.

[0052] The doctor blade 33 is arranged downstream of the drying cylinder, and at least one part of the doctor blade 33 is adhered to the outer drying surface, so that the dried web 403 formed by the adhesion is impacted on the doctor blade 33 to form creases, and finally the tissue web 404 with creases is formed.

[0053] The doctor blade 33 can be made of steel, hard alloy or hard ceramic material, which is not limited here.

[0054] In addition, the dryer 31 can be provided with or without a gas cover 32. When the dryer 31 is provided with the gas cover 32, the gas cover 32 is in a negative pressure state. In other words, when the dryer 31 is provided with the gas cover 32, no medium, such as high-temperature steam or hot air, is introduced into the gas cover 32 for drying the pressed paper web 402. In this case, the gas cover 32 is used for recovering heat. In detail, the heat radiation of the surface of the dryer 31 heats the air adjacent to the outer drying surface and the water vapor generated by the evaporation of the water in the pressed paper web 402, which is collected by the gas cover 32 and then extracted. It can be understood that the hot air collected by the gas cover 32 can be reused in other areas, such as the heating device 24 or the dryer 31 after being heated again. In this case, the gas cover 32 is connected to a reuse device. The reuse device includes a negative pressure device and a pipeline system connected to the negative pressure device and the gas cover 32. The pipeline system includes a blowing device.

[0055] Further, the pipeline system is connected to the heating device 24 and the dryer 31.

[0056] Further, the negative pressure in the gas cover 32 is less than or equal to -0.1 KPa.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The second felt 23 includes a base body 230 and a plurality of groove portions 231 arranged on the base body 230. The density of the groove portions 231 on the surface of the second felt 23 is 50-100 per cm 2 The density refers to the number of groove portions 231 per unit area. When the second felt 23 is provided with the groove portions 231, the surface roughness Rz of the second felt 23 in the area without the groove portions 231 is less than or equal to 15 μm.

[0058] Preferably, the distribution density of the groove portions 231 on the surface of the second felt 23 is 60-90 per cm 2 .

[0059] Further research shows that when the density of the groove portions 231 is higher, the pressure on the wet paper sheet is reduced, so that the formed paper sheet has a higher surface smoothness. However, the water extrusion effect on the paper sheet is reduced at this time. When the density of the groove portions 231 is lower, the pressure on the wet paper sheet is increased, which may cause the paper sheet to be damaged. Preferably, the density of the groove portions 231 is inversely proportional to the basis weight of the paper sheet. In other words, a lower basis weight requires a higher density of the groove portions 231, and a higher basis weight requires a lower density of the groove portions 231.

[0060] Further, the groove portions 231 have a depth of 0.05-1.2 mm 2The recessed part 231 is circular in a preferred embodiment.

[0061] Further, the recessed part 231 has a depth of 0.025-0.15 mm.

[0062] Further, the total area of the recessed part 231 accounts for 5-45% of the surface area of the second felt 23, and more preferably 6-18%.

[0063] Further, the first felt 15 and the second felt 23 have the same running speed, and the first press roller 211 and the second press roller 212 have the same running speed but in opposite directions.

[0064] Further, the first felt 15 and the second felt 23 are made of polymer material, such as polyurethane, or are formed by laminating a plurality of structure layers. When the first felt 15 and the second felt 23 include a plurality of structure layers, the structure layers include a base layer and a surface layer. The base layer of the second felt 23 is preferably a metal layer or a rubber layer, and the surface layer is a fabric layer.

[0065] In some cases, the base layer is also provided with through holes, so that the second felt 23 has good water permeability, and because the surface layer is a fabric, the surface layer has good smoothness.

[0066] The above description is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process conversion, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, is also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
