Abstract
A lubricating device lubricates a circulating clothing of a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web. The device has a body with a feed chamber that has an inlet for supplying a pressurized liquid lubricant to the feed chamber and an outlet for discharging the lubricant therefrom. The body further has a nozzle chamber to which a nozzle for discharging the lubricant is connected. The nozzle has a flow-conducting connection to the feed chamber via the nozzle chamber and the outlet. Within the body, a diffuser is provided for diffusing the lubricant supplied through the outlet along the body, the diffuser being arranged between the outlet and the nozzle.
Claims18
A combination of a suction apparatus having a body with at least one suction opening formed therein, and a lubricating device for lubricating a circulating clothing of a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web, the lubricating device comprising:
- a body including:
- a feed chamber having an inlet for supplying a pressurized liquid lubricant to said feed chamber and an outlet for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant from said feed chamber;
- a nozzle;
- a nozzle chamber to which said nozzle is connected for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant, said nozzle having a flow-conducting connection to said feed chamber via said nozzle chamber and said outlet;
- and
- a diffuser for diffusing the pressurized liquid lubricant supplied via said outlet along said body of the lubricating device, said diffuser disposed between said outlet and said nozzle;
- wherein all of said nozzle is formed in said body of the lubricating device, and wherein all of said body of the lubricating device is separate from the body of the suction apparatus.
A configuration, comprising:
- a suction apparatus having a body with at least one suction opening formed therein;
- a lubricating device of a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web, said lubricating device including a body, said body of the lubricating device having:
- a feed chamber with an inlet for supplying a pressurized liquid lubricant to said feed chamber and an outlet for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant from said feed chamber;
- a nozzle;
- a nozzle chamber to which said nozzle is connected for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant, said nozzle having a flow-conducting connection to said feed chamber via said nozzle chamber and said outlet;
- and
- a diffuser for diffusing the pressurized liquid lubricant supplied via said outlet along said body of the lubricating device, said diffuser disposed between said outlet and said nozzle;
- a clothing;
- and
- said lubricating device lubricating a surface of said clothing, and said clothing sweeping along a direction of travel over said lubricating device;
- wherein all of said nozzle is formed in said body of the lubricating device, and wherein all of said body of the lubricating device is separate from the body of the suction apparatus.
A system of a machine for manufacturing a fibrous web selected from the group consisting of paper, cardboard, and tissue web, the system comprising:
- a lubricating device including a body, said body of the lubricating device having:
- a feed chamber with an inlet for supplying a pressurized liquid lubricant to said feed chamber and an outlet for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant from said feed chamber;
- a nozzle;
- a nozzle chamber to which said nozzle is connected for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant, said nozzle having a flow-conducting connection to said feed chamber via said nozzle chamber and said outlet;
- and
- a diffuser for diffusing the pressurized liquid lubricant supplied via said outlet along said body of the lubricating device, said diffuser disposed between said outlet and said nozzle;
- and
- a suction apparatus having at least one support strip on which a circulating clothing may be guided, one surface of said support strip is movable relative thereto along a direction of travel, wherein said lubricating device is disposed immediately before said at least one support strip in the direction of travel of the clothing and wherein said suction apparatus has a body with at least one suction opening formed therein;
- wherein all of said nozzle is formed in said body of the lubricating device, and wherein all of said body of the lubricating device is separate from the body of the suction apparatus.
A machine for manufacturing a fibrous web selected from the group consisting of paper, cardboard, and a tissue web, the machine comprising:
- a suction apparatus having a body with at least one suction opening formed therein;
- at least one clothing;
- and
- a lubricating device including a body, said body of the lubricating device having:
- a feed chamber with an inlet for supplying a pressurized liquid lubricant to said feed chamber and an outlet for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant from said feed chamber;
- a nozzle;
- a nozzle chamber to which said nozzle is connected for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant, said nozzle having a flow-conducting connection to said feed chamber via said nozzle chamber and said outlet;
- and
- a diffuser for diffusing the pressurized liquid lubricant supplied via said outlet along said body of the lubricating device, said diffuser disposed between said outlet and said nozzle;
- wherein all of said nozzle is formed in said body of the lubricating device, and wherein all of said body of the lubricating device is separate from the body of the suction apparatus.
A machine for manufacturing a fibrous web selected from the group consisting of paper, cardboard, and a tissue web, the machine comprising:
- at least one clothing;
- and
- a system, including:
- a suction apparatus having a body with at least one suction opening formed therein;
- a lubricating device including a body, said body of the lubricating device having:
- a feed chamber with an inlet for supplying a pressurized liquid lubricant to said feed chamber and an outlet for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant from said feed chamber;
- a nozzle;
- a nozzle chamber to which said nozzle is connected for discharging the pressurized liquid lubricant, said nozzle having a flow-conducting connection to said feed chamber via said nozzle chamber and said outlet;
- and
- a diffuser for diffusing the pressurized liquid lubricant supplied via said outlet along said body of the lubricating device, said diffuser disposed between said outlet and said nozzle;
- a suction apparatus having at least one support strip on which a circulating clothing may be guided, one surface of said support strip is movable relative thereto along a direction of travel, wherein said lubricating device is disposed immediately before said at least one support strip in the direction of travel of the clothing;
- wherein all of said nozzle is formed in said body of the lubricating device, and wherein all of said body of the lubricating device is separate from the body of the suction apparatus.
