Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of paper production technology, specifically to a paper trough for facilitating pulp stirring. Background Technology
[0002] In the papermaking industry, the paper trough is the core equipment for pulp forming, and its performance directly affects the uniformity of pulp fiber dispersion and the stability of paper quality. However, traditional paper-retrieving tanks suffer from multiple technical defects in their structural design: lifting and adjustment, as well as stirring drive, rely on mechanical transmission components (such as gears, chains, or hydraulic systems). Long-term operation can easily lead to component wear due to mechanical friction, increasing maintenance costs and potentially causing metal debris or lubricating oil leakage to contaminate the pulp, affecting the whiteness and cleanliness of the finished product; traditional single-shaft or dual-shaft stirring blades have a single stirring direction, making it difficult to generate turbulent shear force, causing pulp fibers to aggregate towards the tank wall under centrifugal force, resulting in a lower fiber concentration in the central area, while the large fluid velocity gradient near the tank wall easily causes fiber agglomeration, resulting in uneven mixing and significant longitudinal / transverse differences in paper strength; pulp fiber density is greater than water, and it is prone to settling under static or low-speed stirring conditions. Traditional equipment lacks an effective anti-settling mechanism, causing pulp concentration to fluctuate over time, resulting in unstable paper basis weight and insufficient fiber fibrillation, affecting the paper-sheet bonding strength and surface smoothness. In view of these issues, in-depth research was conducted, leading to this project. Utility Model Content

[0013] Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0014] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further. Example
[0015] Please see Figure 1-2 In the papermaking industry, the paper trough is a key piece of equipment for pulp formation. Its core function is to achieve uniform dispersion of pulp fibers through stirring and guiding, providing a stable pulp for subsequent papermaking processes. However, traditional paper troughs have significant technical defects in their structural design, which restricts the improvement of papermaking efficiency and product quality. The lifting and adjustment and stirring drive of traditional paper troughs mostly rely on mechanical transmission components (such as gears, chains, or hydraulic systems). During long-term operation, mechanical friction can easily lead to component wear, which not only increases maintenance costs but may also contaminate the pulp with metal debris, affecting the whiteness and cleanliness of the finished product. In addition, the mechanical seal structure is prone to failure in humid environments, causing lubricating oil leakage and further aggravating the risk of contamination.
[0016] Therefore, this application protects a paper-collecting trough for convenient pulp stirring. When the lifting ring electromagnet 9 inside the lifting slide 3 is energized, it magnetically repels the lifting ring magnet 10, causing the lifting ring magnet 10 to drive the lifting slider 7 on it to move stably up and down along the inner side of the lifting slide 3. The paired lifting sliders 7 drive the lifting adjustment blocks 14 on them to move stably up and down, thereby changing the height of the lifting adjustment blocks 14 inside the paper-collecting pool 1. The arc-shaped magnet block inside the drive tube on the lifting adjustment block 14 magnetically drives the metal wire on the T-shaped support block, causing multiple T-shaped support blocks to rotate magnetically, thus making the T-shaped support blocks rotate. The support block drives the drive shaft 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive gear 18 on it. The drive gear 18 drives the drive gear 18 meshing with it, thereby causing multiple drive gears 18 to rotate in a cross manner. The multiple drive gears 18 drive the cylindrical magnets 5 on them to rotate in a cross manner. The multiple cylindrical magnets 5 transmit magnetism to multiple metal rods 16, which in turn transmit magnetism to the cylindrical magnets 5 on multiple stirring rings 15. This causes the multiple stirring rings 15 to rotate in a cross manner, thereby drawing the mixed liquid inside the paper-collecting pool 1 towards the center through the stirring of multiple cross-rotation rings.
[0017] In summary, the process is as follows: First, the energization of the lifting ring electromagnet 9 within the lifting slide 3 generates magnetic repulsion, driving the lifting slider 7 to move stably along the convex lifting groove. This, in turn, causes the lifting adjustment block 14 to adjust its height to accommodate different pulp concentrations. Subsequently, the energization of the arc-shaped magnet block within the drive tube creates a rotating magnetic field, driving the metal wire on the T-shaped support block to rotate. This, in turn, drives the drive shaft 17 and the cross-meshing drive gears 18 through multi-stage transmission. At this time, the cylindrical magnet 5 on the drive gear 18 transmits its magnetism to the metal rod 16, which in turn drives the cylindrical magnet 5 on the stirring ring 15, causing multiple stirring rings 15 to rotate in a cross direction, creating turbulence and guiding the pulp towards the center for uniform mixing. Simultaneously, the ultrasonic vibrator inside the paper collection tank 1 is activated, using the cavitation effect generated by high-frequency sound waves to prevent fiber sedimentation and decompose fibers. The equipment further enhances mixing uniformity by employing non-contact magnetic drive technology. It utilizes the magnetic repulsion and coupling principle of electromagnets to achieve lifting adjustment and power transmission, avoiding mechanical friction loss and pollution risks, and reducing maintenance costs. The cross-rotation stirring mechanism, through multi-stage transmission and an array of stirring rings (15), expands the coverage area and reduces mixing dead zones, significantly improving fiber dispersion efficiency. The ultrasonic synergistic effect not only strengthens the stirring effect but also promotes fiber filamentation to improve paper strength, while simultaneously assisting in cleaning the tank walls. Furthermore, the equipment features high adjustability, energy efficiency (low energy consumption due to magnetic drive, reduced use of chemical additives), and convenient operation (integrated control, modular structure), effectively solving the problems of uneven mixing, easy sedimentation, and high maintenance costs associated with traditional paper-retrieving tanks. It is suitable for the refined production needs of high-end papermaking.
