Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of papermaking technology, specifically to an internal cleaning system for the vacuum rollers of the press section of a papermaking machine. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component at the wet end, the vacuum roller reduces the moisture content of the paper web from 80% to a transferable state through negative pressure suction, while stabilizing the fiber arrangement structure.
[0003] During the production process, the pores of the rollers are in constant contact with pulp fibers and adhesives, which can easily lead to blockages and uneven dewatering. Regular unclogging is necessary to maintain porosity. However, the unclogging and cleaning process requires equipment shutdown, affecting production efficiency. Therefore, we propose a vacuum roller internal cleaning system for the press section of a paper machine. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figures 1-5 The paper machine press section vacuum roller internal cleaning system shown includes a bracket 1. A first drive motor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 1, and the output shaft of the first drive motor 14 passes through the bracket 1 and is rotatably connected to it. An adsorption roller 5 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first drive motor 14. A self-cleaning component is provided inside the adsorption roller 5. The self-cleaning component includes a sleeve 3 rotatably sleeved on the inner edge of the other side of the adsorption roller 5. A fixed shaft 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the sleeve 3 near the first drive motor 14. An extension plate 8 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed shaft 7. Soft silicone plates 9 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the two extension plates 8. The side of the silicone plates 9 away from the extension plates 8 abuts against the inner wall of the adsorption roller 5 through elastic deformation. An air knife tube 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the sleeve 3 near the adsorption roller 5. The outer wall of the air knife tube 12 has a through-hole. The air knife nozzle 13, formed by the airflow, is used when paper passes through the gap between the first guide roller 16 and the adsorption roller 5, and then through the gap between the second guide roller 18 and the adsorption roller 5, so that the paper is laid on the outer wall of the adsorption roller 5 near the adsorption chamber 19. Then, the first drive motor 14, the second drive motor 15, the third drive motor 17 and the vacuum pump 2 are started. The first guide roller 16 and the second guide roller 18 guide the paper so that the paper adheres to the outer wall of the adsorption roller 5. As the vacuum pump 2 runs, a negative pressure is formed inside the adsorption chamber 19, and the moisture in the paper is adsorbed through the adsorption holes 6. The air knife tube 12 is connected to the output end of the vacuum pump 2, so that the airflow passes through the narrow air knife nozzle 13 to form a curtain-shaped air knife, which back-blown the adsorption holes 6 on the adsorption roller 5 that has rotated to the cleaning chamber 20 position, so that the blockage in the adsorption holes 6 is blown away.
[0023] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a fixing post 4 is fixedly connected to the side of the sleeve 3 away from the adsorption roller 5, and the fixing post 4 is fixedly sleeved inside one side of the bracket 1.
[0024] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, an air outlet pipe 10 is fixedly connected to the other side of the sleeve 3, and the air outlet pipe 10 is connected to the inside of the adsorption roller 5. An air inlet pipe 11 is fixedly connected to the side of the sleeve 3 near the air outlet pipe 10, and the air inlet pipe 11 is connected to the inside of the air knife pipe 12. A vacuum pump 2 is fixedly connected to the other end of the air outlet pipe 10, and the output end of the vacuum pump 2 is fixedly connected to the other end of the air inlet pipe 11. The extension plate 8 and the silicone plate 9 in the self-cleaning assembly divide the inside of the adsorption roller 5 into an adsorption chamber 19 and a cleaning chamber 20. The adsorption chamber 19 adsorbs the moisture of the paper through negative pressure, while the cleaning chamber 20 is back-blown through the air knife nozzle 13 on the air knife pipe 12. As the adsorption roller 5 rotates, it adsorbs the moisture of the paper while cleaning it through the air knife, so that the adsorption roller 5 does not need to be stopped for maintenance, improving production efficiency and ensuring production continuity. Through the narrow air knife nozzle 13 on the air knife pipe 12, the airflow is sprayed out through the narrow slit to form a high-intensity air curtain, thereby effectively cleaning the adsorption hole 6 and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall of the adsorption roller 5 is provided with adsorption holes 6, and the interior of the adsorption roller 5 is connected to the outside through the adsorption holes 6.
[0026] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the extension plate 8 and the silicone plate 9 divide the interior of the adsorption roller 5 to form an adsorption chamber 19 and a cleaning chamber 20.

A third drive motor 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the bracket 1 near the second drive motor 15. A second guide roller 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third drive motor 17.
[0028] Working principle: During use, the paper passes through the gap between the first guide roller 16 and the adsorption roller 5, and then through the gap between the second guide roller 18 and the adsorption roller 5, so that the paper is laid on the outer wall of the adsorption roller 5 near the adsorption chamber 19. Then, the first drive motor 14, the second drive motor 15, the third drive motor 17 and the vacuum pump 2 are started. The first guide roller 16 and the second guide roller 18 guide the paper so that the paper adheres to the outer wall of the adsorption roller 5. As the vacuum pump 2 runs, a negative pressure is formed inside the adsorption chamber 19, which adsorbs the moisture in the paper through the adsorption holes 6. The air knife tube 12 is connected to the output end of the vacuum pump 2, so that the airflow passes through the narrow air knife nozzle 13 to form a curtain-shaped air knife, which back-blown the adsorption holes 6 on the adsorption roller 5 that has rotated to the cleaning chamber 20 position, so that the blockage in the adsorption holes 6 is blown away.
