Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of papermaking vacuum rollers, and in particular to a composite suction zone papermaking vacuum roller core. Background Technology

[0002] In papermaking machinery, the papermaking vacuum roll, located at the wet end, plays a crucial role. This component utilizes vacuum suction technology to tightly adhere the wet paper web to the roll surface, achieving the dewatering process. This process helps simplify the pressing steps, thereby improving paper production efficiency. The papermaking vacuum roll mainly consists of the roll body, vacuum chamber, operating and drive-side bearing housings, water spray pipe, air cushion pipe, rubber rollers, and vacuum regulating valve. The roll body is typically made of stainless steel, and its dimensions, such as diameter, width, wall thickness, aperture ratio, and aperture diameter, must be customized according to specific application requirements.

[0003] The core component of a papermaking vacuum roll is the roll core, whose main function is to support the roll sleeve and achieve composite liquid absorption. In the papermaking process, the vacuum roll core absorbs liquid through the suction nozzle, a mechanism crucial to the entire process. However, in practical applications, the papermaking liquid often contains impurities such as particulate matter, which easily deposit at the suction nozzle, causing clogging.

[0004] Clogged nozzles have a series of negative impacts on the papermaking process. First, clogging hinders the nozzle's normal liquid intake function, directly affecting the stability and efficiency of the papermaking process. Second, clogging can cause pressure fluctuations in the vacuum chamber of the vacuum roll core, thus affecting paper quality and uniformity. Furthermore, long-term clogging and impurity buildup can cause wear and corrosion to the roll core, shortening its service life. Utility Model Content

[0014] In a further alternative, the sidewall of the sponge sleeve has a slit for quick application onto the roller core, and multiple sponge sleeves are equidistantly applied onto the roller core and secured by a spiral connecting strip.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] By using the interlocking blocks and inserts, a quick-connection limit is achieved between the vacuum roller sleeve and the assembly roller. This design not only simplifies the assembly and disassembly process and improves work efficiency, but also ensures the precise alignment of the overall structure, guaranteeing the stability and efficiency of the liquid absorption operation during the papermaking process.

[0017] The design of the spiral connecting strip and flow holes allows the vacuum roller sleeve to be securely connected to the spiral connecting strip while ensuring smooth fluid flow, further improving the liquid suction effect.

[0026] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, a composite suction zone papermaking vacuum roll core includes key components such as a core shaft 1, a connector 2, a core body 3, and vacuum nozzles 4. Specifically, the connector 2 is installed at the outer end of the core shaft 1 to ensure structural stability and reliability. The core body 3 connects two core shafts 1, making the entire core structure more robust and durable. Furthermore, multiple vacuum nozzles 4 are evenly installed on the core body 3 to achieve efficient liquid suction.

[0028] To further improve the performance of the vacuum roller, the outer end of the roller core shaft 1 is connected to the assembly roller 10 via a bearing assembly 11. The bearing assembly 11 includes a bearing housing and a bearing. The bearing housing is fixed to the assembly roller 10 by bolts, ensuring the flexibility and stability of rotation. A vacuum roller sleeve 12 is provided between the two assembly rollers 10. The side wall of the vacuum roller sleeve 12 is provided with multiple inserts 14, while the side wall of the assembly roller 10 is provided with a fitting slot 15 that matches the inserts 14. Through the cooperation of the inserts 14 and the fitting slot 15, the assembly roller 10 and the vacuum roller sleeve 12 are connected in a limiting manner, thereby ensuring the precise alignment of the overall structure.

[0029] A spiral connecting strip 9 is connected between the two assembly rollers 10 via a threaded connecting sleeve 8, and the spiral connecting strip 9 is placed on the inner wall of the vacuum roller sleeve 12. Flow holes 13 are provided on the side wall of the vacuum roller sleeve 12. Bolts are inserted into the flow holes 13 to fix the vacuum roller sleeve 12 and the spiral connecting strip 9, thus achieving rapid assembly. To further improve the convenience and reliability of assembly, multiple sponge sleeves 5 are fitted between the spiral connecting strip 9 and the roller core 3. The side wall of the sponge sleeve 5 has through holes 6 adapted to the vacuum nozzle 4, and the sponge sleeve 5 also has perforations 7 adapted to the roller core 3, ensuring the overall sealing and liquid suction effect of the structure.

[0030] It is worth noting that the roll core body 3 and the roll core shaft 1 are integrated into a single design, resulting in a more compact structure and higher strength. The roll core body 3 has multiple vacuum chambers inside, each of which is fitted with a vacuum nozzle 4. Liquid suction is achieved through the vacuum nozzle 4, thereby improving the efficiency and quality of the papermaking process.

[0031] To ensure a stable connection, the bearing in the bearing assembly 11 is installed in a bearing housing, which is fixed to the assembly roller 10 by bolts. The roller core shaft 1 is connected to the shaft through a limiting annular groove and a limiting annular ring, thereby achieving a limiting connection between the assembly roller 10 and the roller core shaft 1, ensuring the stability and accuracy of rotation.

[0032] In terms of detailed design, multiple inserts 14 are arranged in a ring on the vacuum roller sleeve 12. The inserts 14 and the vacuum roller sleeve 12 are integrated into one piece, and the edges of the inserts 14 are arc-shaped to reduce stress concentration. An anti-slip sleeve is provided at the connection between the inserts 14 and the insert 15 to further improve the stability of the connection. An anti-slip ring is provided at the connection between the vacuum roller sleeve 12 and the assembly roller 10 to prevent slippage during high-speed rotation.

[0033] The threaded connecting sleeve 8 and the spiral connecting bar 9 are integrated into one piece. The spiral connecting bar 9 has multiple slotted holes that face the flow hole 13 to ensure smooth fluid flow. The outer wall of the threaded connecting sleeve 8 is threaded and connects to the assembly rod 10 through the threads, making the connection more secure and reliable.

[0034] Finally, the sidewalls of the sponge sleeve 5 have slits for quick placement onto the roller core 3. Multiple sponge sleeves 5 are equidistantly placed on the roller core 3 and secured by spiral connecting strips 9. This design not only improves assembly efficiency but also ensures the uniform distribution of the sponge sleeves 5, thereby guaranteeing the consistency and reliability of the liquid absorption effect.

[0035] Ensure all other parts of the papermaking equipment are correctly installed and debugged. Then, install the composite suction zone papermaking vacuum roll into its predetermined position within the papermaking equipment. Start the papermaking equipment; the roll core shaft 1 is connected to the assembly roller 10 via the bearing assembly 11, causing the vacuum roll to begin rotating. During the papermaking process, pulp or other liquid materials are conveyed to the vacuum roll. Multiple vacuum nozzles 4 generate suction through the vacuum chamber inside the roll core 3, adsorbing the liquid material onto the roll core 3 for subsequent processing. The limiting connection between the vacuum roll sleeve 12 and the assembly roller 10, as well as the design of the spiral connecting strip 9 and the flow holes 13, ensure the stability and efficiency of the liquid suction operation.

[0036] Shut down the papermaking equipment and disconnect the power supply, ensuring safe operation. Then, disassemble the threaded connecting sleeve 8 of the connecting assembly roller 10 and remove the spiral connecting strip 9 from the vacuum roller sleeve 12. Next, remove the vacuum roller sleeve 12, exposing the roller core 3 and the vacuum nozzle 4. Using appropriate tools, such as a wrench or screwdriver, remove the vacuum nozzle 4 that needs replacement from the roller core 3. Be careful not to damage the roller core 3 or other components during disassembly. Install the new vacuum nozzle 4 onto the roller core 3 in its original position and manner, ensuring a secure and well-sealed installation. Then, reinstall the vacuum roller sleeve 12 and the spiral connecting strip 9, tightening the threaded connecting sleeve 8 to ensure a reliable connection. Finally, restart the papermaking equipment and perform necessary adjustments and checks to ensure the vacuum roller is functioning properly.
