Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum beruhrungsfreien FUhren von Warenbahnen, insbesondere Metallbändern, mittels eines Gasmediums mit oberhalb und unterhalb in Abstand von der Warenbahn angeordneten, jeweils eine Düsenaustrittsebene aufweisenden Düsenkästen, zwischen denen oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn Gasabzugskanäle vorgesehen sind.The invention relates to a device for the contact-free guiding of material webs, in particular metal strips, by means of a gas medium with nozzle boxes arranged above and below and at a distance from the material web, each having a nozzle outlet plane, between which gas extraction channels are provided above and below the material web.
Derartige Vorrichtungen dienen insbesondere zum Erwärmen oder Kühlen von band- oder bahnförmigem Material. Als Gasmedium wird dabei überwiegend Luft oder Schutzgas eingesetzt, die gegen die Warenbahn geblasen wird.Devices of this type are used, in particular, for heating or cooling strip or sheet material. Air or inert gas is mainly used as the gas medium, which is blown against the material web.
Es ist bereits bekannt (DE-AS 25 21 017), Warenbahnen, insbesondere Metallbänder, mit einer Dicke von 0,1 mm und mehr gleichmäßig und ebenflächig durch einen Spalt zwischen entgegengerichteten DUsenkästen hindurchzuführen. Dabei verlaufen die Düsenkästen quer zur Transportrichtung der Warenbahn, und die längs- oder quergerichteten DUsen sind versetzt zueinander angeordnet. Die nahe einer Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen sind durch Gasabzugskanäle zum Ableiten des über die Düsen auf die Warenbahn geblasenen Gasmediums voneinander getrennt. In diese Gasabzugskanäle sind Drosselklappen zur Regelung des Gasabzugs eingesetzt.It is already known (DE-AS 25 21 017) to pass webs of goods, in particular metal strips, with a thickness of 0.1 mm and more evenly and evenly through a gap between opposing nozzle boxes. Get lost the nozzle boxes transversely to the direction of transport of the material web, and the longitudinal or transverse nozzles are offset from one another. The nozzle boxes arranged near a product web are separated from one another by gas extraction channels for discharging the gas medium blown onto the product web via the nozzles. Throttle valves for regulating the gas discharge are inserted into these gas discharge ducts.
Mit dieser bekannten Vorrichtung ist das Führen von Metallbändern mit einr Stärke von 0,3 mm und mehr nicht mehr in einer zufriedenstellenden Weise durchzuführen. Bei Bändern aus speziellen Metallegierungen, z.B. einigen Kupferlegierungen, kann die kritische Bandstärke noch unter 0,3 mm liegen.With this known device, the guiding of metal strips with a thickness of 0.3 mm and more can no longer be carried out in a satisfactory manner. For strips made of special metal alloys, e.g. some copper alloys, the critical strip thickness can still be less than 0.3 mm.
Eine vorteilhafte sinusförmige Matallbandführung durch die Vorrichtung läßt sich dabei nicht erreichen. Das aus der Vorrichtung austretende Metallband entsprechender Dicke bzw. Steifheit weist vielmehr einen unzulässig hohen Anteil an Längsfalten und anderen Unebenheiten auf, so daß mit einem hohen Anteil an Ausschuß gerechnet werden muß.An advantageous sinusoidal metal ribbon guide through the device cannot be achieved. The metal strip of the corresponding thickness or stiffness emerging from the device rather has an impermissibly high proportion of longitudinal folds and other unevenness, so that a high proportion of rejects must be expected.
Es ist ferner eine Vorrichtung bekannt (DE-PS 33 18 861), durch die Warenbahnen, insbesondere Aluminiumbänder, zum Zweck einer Glühbehandlung schwebend hindurchgeführt werden können. Dabei werden quer zur Transportrichtung der Warenbahnen sich erstreckende Düsenkästen verwendet, die zur Bildung von Luftkissen je zwei Längsschlitze oder Lochreihen aufweisen, deren Blasrichtungen aufeinanderzu geneigt sind. Diese DUsenkästen sind oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn paarweise angeordnet. Einem solchen Paar von oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten DUsenkästen folgt dann in Transportrichtung unterhalb der Warenbahn ein weiteres Paar von Düsenkästen. An dieses Paar schließt sich in Transportrichtung dann oberhalb der Warenbahn ein weiteres Paar von Düsenkästen an. Dies bedeutet, daß zwischen denjenigen Düsenpaaren, die oberhalb oder unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordnet sind, große Zwischenräume vorhanden sind. Folglich kann die Erwärmung bzw. Abkühlung der Warenbahn bezogen auf die Behandlungsstrecke nur relativ gering sein. Zur Erreichung einer hohen Anlagenleistung ist deshalb eine relativ lange Behandlungsstrecke mit entsprechendem technischen Aufwand erforderlich.A device is also known (DE-PS 33 18 861) through which webs of material, in particular aluminum strips, can be guided in a floating manner for the purpose of an annealing treatment. In this case, nozzle boxes extending transversely to the transport direction of the material webs are used, each of which has two longitudinal slots or rows of holes to form air cushions, the blowing directions of which are inclined towards one another. These shower boxes are arranged in pairs above and below the web. Such a pair of nozzle boxes arranged above the product line is then followed by a further pair of nozzle boxes in the transport direction below the product line. This pair is then connected to a further pair of nozzle boxes in the transport direction above the web. This means that there is a large gap between those pairs of nozzles that are arranged above or below the web rooms are available. As a result, the heating or cooling of the web in relation to the treatment section can be only relatively slight. To achieve a high system output, a relatively long treatment route with the corresponding technical effort is therefore necessary.
Bei der bekannten Vorrichtung ist zudem die Tragkraft der aus den Düsenkästen austretenden, aufeinanderzu geneigten Gasstrahlen sehr gering, so daß diese Vorrichtung für relativ dicke und schwere Metallbänder nicht in Betracht kommen kann. Obgleich die DUsenkästen bei dieser Vorrichtung recht aufwendig gestaltet sein müssen, kann mit dieser bekannten Vorrichtung nicht der für den Trage- und Führungseffekt optimale sinusförmige Verlauf herbeigeführt werden.In the known device, the load capacity of the gas jets emerging from the nozzle boxes and inclined towards one another is very low, so that this device cannot be considered for relatively thick and heavy metal strips. Although the nozzle boxes in this device must be designed to be quite complex, this known device cannot be used to produce the optimal sinusoidal shape for the carrying and guiding effect.
Der Erfindung liegt nun die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten£Art so auszubilden, daß mit ihr sowohl relativ dünnes als auch relativ dickes und/oder steifes Bandmaterial, insbesondere Metallband, berührungsfrei in sinusförmiger Wellenlinie geführt werden kann, wobei für Erwärmung oder Kühlung eine hohe Leistungsdichte erreichbar sein soll.The invention is based on the object of designing a device of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that it can be used to run both relatively thin and relatively thick and / or rigid strip material, in particular metal strip, in a contact-free manner in a sinusoidal wavy line, for heating or cooling a high power density should be achievable.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs erwähnten Art erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß die Düsenaustrittsebenen der oberhalb sowie der unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen in Bezug auf eine der Transportrichtung der Warenbahn entsprechende im wesentlichen waagerechte Ebene in Transportrichtung einzeln oder gruppenweise abweichende Abstände haben.This object is achieved according to the invention in a device of the type mentioned at the outset in that the nozzle outlet planes of the nozzle boxes arranged above and below the web have spacings which differ individually or in groups in relation to a substantially horizontal plane corresponding to the transport direction of the web.
Der Abstand der oberen und der unteren Düsenkästen von der Warenbahn kann entsprechend der zu tragenden Last gewählt werden. Die Düsenkästen können eine oder mehrere Düsenreihen aufweisen, wobei Schlitzdüsen sowie Düsen mit runder, ovaler oder anders geformter Düsenöffnung verwendet werden können.The distance between the upper and lower nozzle boxes from the web can be selected according to the load to be carried. The nozzle boxes can have one or more rows of nozzles, it being possible to use slot nozzles and nozzles with a round, oval or other shaped nozzle opening.
Als Gasmedium kommt insbesondere Luft in Betracht.Air is particularly suitable as the gas medium.
Die einzelnen Düsenkästen, die oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordnet sind, sind entsprechend dem gewünschten, möglicherweise sinusförmigen, Verlauf der Bahn in der Vorrichtung plaziert.The individual nozzle boxes, which are arranged above and below the web, are placed in the device in accordance with the desired, possibly sinusoidal, course of the web.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die DUsenkästen oberhalb und unterhalb der Warenbahn im wesentlichen über die gleiche Bandbreite verteilt sind.The device according to the invention can also be designed so that the nozzle boxes above and below the web are distributed over essentially the same bandwidth.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen gegenüber den unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen in Transportrichtung versetzt angeordnet sind. Es ist dabei möglich, daß ein Düsenkasten auf der Oberseite der Warenbahn mittig zu zwei auf der Unterseite der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen ausgerichtet ist und umgekehrt. Auch andere Versatzrelationen sind möglich.The device according to the invention can also be designed such that the nozzle boxes arranged above the web are offset from the nozzle boxes below the web in the direction of transport. It is possible for a nozzle box on the top of the web to be aligned centrally with two nozzle boxes arranged on the bottom of the web and vice versa. Other offset relations are also possible.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß die oberhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten DUsenkästen gegenüber den unterhalb der Warenbahn angeordneten Düsenkästen quer zur Transportrichtung versetzt angeordnet sind.The device according to the invention can also be designed such that the nozzle boxes arranged above the web are offset from the nozzle boxes arranged below the web transversely to the direction of transport.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung kann ferner so ausgebildet sein, daß zumindest ein Teil der DUsenkästen senkrecht in Bezug auf eine der Transportrichtung entsprechende im wesentlichen waagerechte Ebene einstellbar ist. Durch eine solche Einstellbarkeit kann der Verlauf der Warenbahn in der Vorrichtung verändert werden. Insbesondere ist dabei eine Anpassung an wechselnde Warenbahnen und Matrialbeschaffenheiten möglich.The device according to the invention can also be designed such that at least some of the nozzle boxes can be adjusted vertically with respect to a substantially horizontal plane corresponding to the direction of transport. With such an adjustability, the course of the web in the device can be changed. In particular, adaptation to changing material webs and material properties is possible.
Schließlich kann die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung so ausgebildet sein, daß zumindest ein Teil der einstellbaren Düsenkisten gemeinsam einstellbar ist. Auf diese Weise kann die Einstellbarkeit der Düsenkästen in Bezug auf die Warenbahn vereinfacht und damit beschleunigt werden.Finally, the device according to the invention can be so forms that at least some of the adjustable nozzle boxes can be adjusted together. In this way, the adjustability of the nozzle boxes with respect to the web can be simplified and thus accelerated.
