Abstract

A papermaking machine has a wet felt press with inner (3) and outer (4) woven layers formed of longitudinal and transverse threads (5-8). The threads (5-8) are not interwoven over the width of the matrix, but are linked at the outer margin (9, 10) by transverse binding threads (15-20) in the vicinity of seam loops (11, 12). The binding transverse binding stitches (15-20) do not increase the density of the transverse threads (5, 6). Binding transverse threads (15-18) are incorporated in addition to the transverse threads present in the inner (3) and outer (4) layers. The transverse threads (15-18) are interwoven with alternating longitudinal threads (7) and the inner layer (3), and one or more alternating transposed threads (7, 8), forming part of the outer layer (4).

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Papiermaschinenbespannung mit einem Träger aus wenigstens zwei Trägerlagen, welche jeweils aus Längs- und Querfäden bestehen, jedoch untereinander über ihre Fläche grundsätzlich nicht mittels Fäden verbunden sind, wobei an den stirnseitigen Enden der Papiermaschinenbespannung aus Längsfäden bestehende Nahtschlaufen vorstehen, die einer Verbindung der Enden zur Naht mittels eines durch die Nahtschlaufen geschobenen Steckdrahts dienen.The invention relates to a paper machine clothing a carrier from at least two carrier layers, each of which consist of longitudinal and transverse threads, but with each other over their area basically not by means of threads are connected, being at the front ends of the paper machine clothing seam loops consisting of longitudinal threads protrude, which connect the ends to the Seam is pushed through the seam loops Serve wire.

Im Stand der Technik ist eine Gattung von Papiermaschinenbespannungen für den Einsatz in einer Papiermaschine bekannt, bei der ein Trägergewebe vorhanden ist, das aus zwei gewebten Trägerlagen besteht, wobei die Trägerlagen jedoch über ihre Fläche nicht über Fäden miteinander verbunden sind. An den stirnseitigen Enden der Papiermaschinenbespannung sind die Trägerlagen über ihre Längsfäden unter Ausbildung von Nahtschlaufen verbunden. Über diese Nahtschlaufen können die Enden dadurch gekuppelt werden, daß die Nahtschlaufen beider Enden in Überlappung gebracht und durch die Nahtschlaufen im Überlappungsbereich ein sogenannter Steckdraht geschoben wird. Solche Papiermaschinenbespannungen sind beispielsweise der WO 00/09802 und der JP 112 00 275 zu entnehmen.The state of the art is a type of paper machine clothing for use in a paper machine known in which a carrier fabric is present, which consists of there are two woven carrier layers, the carrier layers however, not connected by threads over their surface are. At the front ends of the paper machine clothing are the carrier layers over their longitudinal threads connected with formation of seam loops. About these Seam loops can be used to couple the ends that the seam loops overlapped both ends and through the seam loops in the overlap area a so-called plug wire is pushed. Such paper machine clothing are for example WO 00/09802 and JP 112 00 275.

Ein zur Herstellung derartiger Papiermaschinenbespannungen geeignetes Verfahren ist in der US 5,015,220 beschrieben. Bei diesem Verfahren wird ein einlagiges Trägergewebe rundgewebt, und zwar mit einem Umfang, der doppelt so groß ist wie die vorgesehene Länge der Papiermaschinenbespannung, und dann mit einem aufgenadelten Faservlies versehen. Dann wird das so gewonnene schlauchförmige Gebilde zusammengedrückt, so daß zwei aufeinanderliegende Lagen entstehen. Durch Ausfransen an den stirnseitigen Enden werden aus den dort vorhandenen Längsfäden Nahtschlaufen freigelegt, die zum Verbinden der Enden in Überlappung gebracht werden können.One for the production of such paper machine clothing A suitable method is described in US 5,015,220. In this procedure, a single-layer carrier fabric is used woven round, with a circumference that is double is as long as the intended length of the paper machine clothing, and then with a needled nonwoven Mistake. Then the tube-shaped thus obtained Forms compressed so that two lying on top of each other Layers arise. By fraying the front ends are made from those present there Longitudinal threads of seam loops are exposed, which are used to connect the ends can be overlapped.

Aufgrund der besonderen Trägerkonstruktion bieten solche Papiermaschinenbespannungen eine hohe Festigkeit insbesondere auch im Nahtbereich, da die Nahtschlaufen von sich endlos über die Trägerlagen erstreckenden Längsfäden gebildet werden. Außerdem zeichnet sich diese Trägerkonstruktion gegenüber doppellagigen Trägern durch geringe Kompressibilität aus mit der Folge, daß die Entwässerungseigenschaften über die Laufzeit der Papiermaschinenbespannungen weitgehend konstant bleiben. Nachteilig ist jedoch die nicht befriedigende Stabilität im Nahtbereich. Außerdem ist die Faservliesverankerung in diesem Bereich nicht optimal. Due to the special support construction, such offer Paper machine clothing in particular high strength also in the seam area because the seam loops from longitudinal threads extending endlessly over the carrier layers be formed. This support structure also stands out compared to double-layer girders due to low Compressibility with the consequence that the drainage properties over the duration of the paper machine clothing remain largely constant. The disadvantage is however, the unsatisfactory stability in the seam area. In addition, the fleece anchoring is in this area not optimal.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Papiermaschinenbespannung der eingangs genannten Art so zu gestalten, daß die Nahtstabilität erhöht und eine verbesserte Verankerung des Faservlieses erreichbar ist.The invention has for its object a paper machine clothing of the type mentioned at the outset, that the seam stability increases and an improved Anchoring of the nonwoven fabric is achievable.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Trägerlagen über Bindequerfäden miteinander verbunden sind, deren Anordnung auf den Bereich beider Enden der Papiermaschinenbespannung benachbart zu den Nahtschlaufen beschränkt ist. Dabei können Bindequerfäden vorhanden sein, die die Fadendichte der Querfäden nicht erhöhen, also in den Trägerlagen ohnehin als Querfäden vorhanden sind, jedoch im Unterschied zu den übrigen Querfäden so geführt werden, daß sie auch in jeweils benachbarte Trägerlagen einbinden. Alternativ oder in Kombination dazu können jedoch auch Bindequerfäden vorgesehen werden, die zusätzlich zu den in den Trägerlagen verlaufenden Querfäden eingewebt sind und damit die Fadendichte in den der Nahtschlaufen benachbarten Bereichen erhöhen.This object is achieved in that the carrier layers are connected to one another via binding transverse threads are, their arrangement on the area of both ends of the Paper machine clothing adjacent to the seam loops is limited. Cross threads can be present that do not increase the thread density of the cross threads, so already present in the carrier layers as cross threads are, however, in contrast to the other transverse threads be performed that they also in adjacent carrier layers integrated. Alternatively or in combination However, transverse binding threads can also be provided in addition to the transverse threads running in the carrier layers are woven and thus the thread density in the Increase seam loops in adjacent areas.

Eine solche Papiermaschinenbespannung zeichnet sich durch hohe Stabilität im Nahtbereich aus. Dies beruht darauf, daß die Nahtschlaufen durch die Bindefäden trägerseitig geschlossen werden und ein Verschieben der Trägerlagen blockiert wird. Davon abgesehen wird die Verankerung des Faservlieses in diesem Bereich erheblich verbessert. Beides wird erreicht, ohne daß ansonsten in die Struktur des Trägers nachteilig eingegriffen wird, d.h. die Vorteile dieser Trägerkonstruktion bleiben vollständig erhalten. Such a paper machine clothing is characterized by high stability in the seam area. This is because that the seam loops on the carrier side through the binding threads be closed and a shift of the carrier layers is blocked. That being said, the anchorage of the Nonwoven fabric improved significantly in this area. Both is achieved without otherwise being in the structure of the Carrier is adversely affected, i.e. the advantages this support structure remains intact.

Die Art der Verbindung, also die Fadenführung der Bindequerfäden, kann an die jeweiligen Anforderungen in weiten Grenzen angepaßt werden. So können Bindequerfäden vorhanden sein, die abwechselnd einen Längsfaden in der einen Trägerlage und einen um einen Längsfaden versetzten Längsfaden in der benachbarten Trägerlage einbinden. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine sehr feste Verbindung der Trägerlagen. Es können jedoch auch Bindequerfäden vorhanden sein, die in den Trägerlagen über mehrere Längsfäden gehen - sei es langflottierend oder die Längsfäden einbindend -, bevor sie von einer Trägerlage zu einer benachbarten Trägerlage wechseln. Es können auch Bindequerfäden miteinander kombiniert werden, die unterschiedlich einbinden. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, daß zwei benachbarte Bindequerfäden spiegelbildlichen Verlauf haben.The type of connection, i.e. the thread guidance of the binding cross threads, can be tailored to the respective requirements Limits are adjusted. Cross binding threads can thus be present be alternating a longitudinal thread in one Carrier layer and one offset by a longitudinal thread Tie in the longitudinal thread in the adjacent carrier layer. This results in a very firm connection of the carrier layers. However, transverse binding threads can also be present be in the carrier layers over several longitudinal threads - be it long float or tie in the longitudinal threads - before moving from one carrier layer to an adjacent one Change carrier layer. Cross thread can also be used be combined with each other, which integrate differently. It is useful that two neighboring Binding cross threads have a mirror image course.

Auch was die Anzahl der Bindequerfäden betrifft, ist eine Anpassung an die jeweiligen Anforderungen zweckmäßig und möglich. Es sollten an jedem Ende der Papiermaschinenbespannung wenigstens ein Bindequerfaden vorhanden sein, vorzugsweise zwei bis vier Bindequerfäden. Es können jedoch auch bis zu zehn Bindequerfäden sein, wenn besonders hohe Anforderungen an die Festigkeit der Nahtverbindung gestellt werden.The number of binding cross threads is also one Appropriate to the respective requirements and possible. There should be paper machine clothing at each end there is at least one binding cross thread, preferably two to four binding cross threads. However, it can can also be up to ten binding cross threads, if special high demands on the strength of the seam connection be put.

Als Material für die Bindequerfäden kommen in erster Linie thermoplastische Polymere in Frage, beispielsweise Polypropylen, Polyamid 4.6, Polyamid 6, Polyamid 6.6, Polyamid 6.10, Polyamid 6.12, Polyamid 11, Polyamid 12, PET, PTT, PBT, PPS, PEK, PEEK oder Polyester. Dabei kann entsprechend den Anforderungen an die Bindequerfäden ein Material verwendet werden, das sich von dem Material der übrigen Querfäden unterscheidet. Es versteht sich, daß die Bindequerfäden als Monofile oder Multifilamente ausgebildet sein können.Primarily come as the material for the binding cross threads thermoplastic polymers in question, for example Polypropylene, polyamide 4.6, polyamide 6, polyamide 6.6, polyamide 6.10, polyamide 6.12, polyamide 11, polyamide 12, PET, PTT, PBT, PPS, PEK, PEEK or polyester. It can according to the requirements for the binding cross threads Material used that differs from the material of the other cross threads. It is understood that the binding cross threads are designed as monofilaments or multifilaments could be.

Die Anzahl der Nahtschlaufen wird entsprechend den jeweiligen Anforderungen festgelegt. Es besteht durchaus die Möglichkeit, daß alle Längsfäden Nahtschlaufen ausbilden. Eine zweckmäßige Variante besteht jedoch darin, daß sich wenigstens ein eine Nahtschlaufe ausbildender Längsfaden mit wenigstens einem Längsfaden abwechselt, der keine Nahtschlaufe ausbildet, und daß die Nahtschlaufen der Enden der Papiermaschinenbespannung in Querrichtung zueinander versetzt sind, damit die Nahtschlaufen problemlos kammartig ineinander greifen können.The number of seam loops is according to the respective Requirements. There is definitely Possibility that all longitudinal threads form seam loops. However, an expedient variant is that at least one longitudinal thread forming a seam loop alternates with at least one longitudinal thread that does not Seam loop forms, and that the seam loops of the ends the paper machine clothing in the transverse direction to each other are offset so that the seam loops are easy can interlock like a comb.

Der in Figur 1 schematisch dargestellte Naßpreßfilz 1 ist für den Einsatz in der Pressenpartie einer Papiermaschine bestimmt. Aus Übersichtlichkeitsgründen ist von dem Naßpreßfilz 1 lediglich der Träger 2 zu sehen. Die den Träger 2 einbettenden Faserlagen sind weggelassen. Der Träger 2 ist hier nur teilweise dargestellt. Er setzt sich nach links in Form eines liegenden U - hier gestrichelt angedeutet - fort, so daß der Träger 2 insgesamt ein liegendes U darstellt. Die Erstreckung des U ist den jeweiligen Einbauverhältnissen in der Papiermaschine angepaßt.The wet press felt 1 shown schematically in FIG. 1 is for use in the press section of a paper machine certainly. For reasons of clarity is from the wet press felt 1 only the carrier 2 can be seen. The the carrier 2 embedding fiber layers are omitted. The carrier 2 is only partially shown here. He sits down to the left in the form of a lying U - dashed here hinted - continued, so that the carrier 2 a total lying U represents. The extension of the U is the respective one Installation conditions adapted in the paper machine.

Der Träger 2 besteht aus einer innenseitigen Trägerlage 3 und einer außenseitigen Trägerlage 4. Beide Trägerlagen 3, 4 sind als Gewebe ausgebildet, die in einem kontinuierlichen Webprozeß durch Rundweben hergestellt sind. Die Gewebe haben Querfäden - beispielhaft mit 5 bzw. 6 bezeichnet -, die beim Webprozeß die Kettfäden gebildet haben, sowie Längsfäden 7, 8 als Schußfäden. Die Längsfäden 7, 8 sind aufgrund ihrer Eigenschaft als Schußfäden Teile eines einzigen durchgehenden Fadens. Die Querfäden 5, 6 binden mit den Längsfäden 7, 8 so ein, daß die beiden Trägerlagen 3, 4 über die Fläche keine Verbindung über Fäden miteinander haben, d.h. die Querfäden 5 binden nicht in die Trägerlage 4 und die Querfäden 6 nicht in die Trägerlage 3 ein und die Längsfäden 7, 8 verbleiben über die gesamte Länge des Trägers 2 in der jeweiligen Trägerlage 3 bzw. 4. The carrier 2 consists of an inner carrier layer 3 and an outside carrier layer 4. Both carrier layers 3, 4 are designed as a fabric that is in a continuous Weaving process are made by circular weaving. The Fabrics have transverse threads - designated 5 and 6, for example - which have formed the warp threads in the weaving process, and longitudinal threads 7, 8 as weft threads. The longitudinal threads 7, 8 are parts due to their property as weft threads of a single continuous thread. The transverse threads 5, 6 tie with the longitudinal threads 7, 8 so that the two Carrier layers 3, 4 over the area no connection Threads together, i.e. tie the cross threads 5 not in the carrier layer 4 and the transverse threads 6 not in the carrier layer 3 and the longitudinal threads 7, 8 remain over the entire length of the carrier 2 in the respective Carrier layer 3 or 4.

An den stirnseitigen Enden 9, 10 des Trägers 2 bildet jeder zweite Längsfaden 7, 8 Nahtschlaufen 11, 12 aus, die über die Enden 9, 10 vorstehen. Senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene entstehen hierdurch eine Vielzahl von Nahtschlaufen 11, 12 (vgl. insoweit die Bezugsziffern 17 und 19 in Figur 2 der WO 00/09802 und die Bezugsziffern 20 bzw. 22 in den Figuren 2 bis 5 der US 5,015,220). Die Längsfäden 7, 8, die jeweils zwischen zwei Nahtschlaufen 11, 12 bildenden Längsfäden 7, 8 verlaufen, werden ohne Ausbildung von Nahtschlaufen auf kurzem Weg zurückgeführt.At the front ends 9, 10 of the carrier 2 everyone forms second longitudinal thread 7, 8 seam loops 11, 12 from protrude over the ends 9, 10. Perpendicular to the drawing plane this creates a variety of seam loops 11, 12 (cf. reference numbers 17 and 19 in FIG. 2 of WO 00/09802 and the reference numbers 20 or 22 in Figures 2 to 5 of US 5,015,220). The Longitudinal threads 7, 8, each between two seam loops 11, 12 forming longitudinal threads 7, 8 are without The formation of seam loops is reduced to a short distance.

Die eine Reihe von Nahtschlaufen 11 ist mit der anderen Reihe von Nahtschlaufen 12 - wie dargestellt - in kammartige Überlappung gebracht worden, so daß sich senkrecht zur Zeichnungsebene ein Durchsteckkanal 13 bildet. Mittels Durchschieben eines Steckdrahtes 14 durch den Durchsteckkanal 13 werden die Nahtschlaufen 11, 12 und damit die Enden 9, 10 des Trägers 2 miteinander gekuppelt, so daß ein endloser Träger 2 und damit auch ein endloser Naßpreßfilz 1 geschaffen wird. Das Kuppeln geschieht nach dem Einzug des Naßpreßfilzes 1 in die Pressenpartie der Papiermaschine.One row of seam loops 11 is with the other Row of seam loops 12 - as shown - in comb-like Overlap has been made so that it is vertical forms a push-through channel 13 to the plane of the drawing. through Pushing a plug wire 14 through the push-through channel 13 the seam loops 11, 12 and thus the ends 9, 10 of the carrier 2 coupled together, so that an endless carrier 2 and thus an endless Wet press felt 1 is created. The coupling happens after the intake of the wet press felt 1 in the press section of the Paper machine.

In Abweichung zum vorzitierten Stand der Technik sind die jeweils ersten beiden Querfäden an den Enden 9, 10 benachbart zu den Nahtschlaufen 11, 12 als Bindequerfäden 15, 16, 17, 18 ausgebildet. Der im Vergleich zu den Querfäden 5, 6 andersartige Verlauf ist in Figur 1 nicht zu erkennen, ergibt sich jedoch aus dem in Figur 2 dargestellten Querschnitt. Dort sind die Bindequerfäden 15, 16, 17, 18 verstärkt dargestellt, um ihren Verlauf gegenüber dem Verlauf der übrigen Querfäden 5, 6 deutlich zu machen. Während die übrigen Querfäden 5, 6 mit den Längsfäden 7, 8 in einer Leinwandbindung jeweils ausschließlich in der Trägerlage 3 oder der Trägerlage 4 einbinden, verlaufen die Bindequerfäden 15, 16, 17, 18 so, daß sie abwechselnd in beide Trägerlagen 3, 4 einbinden, und zwar jeweils um einen Längsfaden in der einen Trägerlage 3 und - um zwei Längsfäden 7, 8 versetzt - um einen Längsfaden 8 in der anderen Trägerlage 4. Durch diesen Verlauf der Bindequerfäden 15, 16, 17, 18 werden die Nahtschlaufen 11, 12 trägerseitig geschlossen.In deviation from the cited prior art, the first two transverse threads at the ends 9, 10 adjacent to the seam loops 11, 12 as binding cross threads 15, 16, 17, 18 are formed. The compared to the cross threads 5, 6 different course is not too in Figure 1 recognize, however, results from that shown in Figure 2 Cross-section. There are the binding cross threads 15, 16, 17, 18 shown reinforced to their course opposite the course of the other transverse threads 5, 6 clearly do. While the other transverse threads 5, 6 with the longitudinal threads 7, 8 exclusively in a plain weave bind in the carrier layer 3 or the carrier layer 4, the binding cross threads 15, 16, 17, 18 run such that they incorporate alternately in both support layers 3, 4, namely each around a longitudinal thread in the one carrier layer 3 and - offset by two longitudinal threads 7, 8 - by one longitudinal thread 8 in the other carrier layer 4 Cross binding threads 15, 16, 17, 18 become the seam loops 11, 12 closed on the carrier side.

Figur 3 zeigt eine Variante des Trägers 2 gemäß den Figuren 1 und 2, wobei nur die Hälfte des in Figur 2 dargestellten Querschnitts gezeigt ist. Hier sind Bindequerfäden 19, 20 vorhanden, die ebenfalls spiegelbildlich verlaufen, jedoch im Unterschied zu der Version gemäß Figur 2 in wesentlich größeren Abständen zwischen den Trägerlagen 3, 4 wechseln. Dazwischen verlaufen sie über die Längsfäden 7, 8 und binden sie nach Art einer Leinwandbindung ein. Es versteht sich, daß hierdurch die Verbindung der beiden Trägerlagen 4, 5 weniger eng ist als in der Version gemäß Figur 2.Figure 3 shows a variant of the carrier 2 according to the figures 1 and 2, only half of that shown in Figure 2 Cross section is shown. Here are binding cross threads 19, 20 are present, which are also mirror images, however, in contrast to the version according to the figure 2 at much greater distances between the carrier layers 3, 4 change. In between they run over the Longitudinal threads 7, 8 and tie them in the manner of a plain weave on.
