Abstract
The invention proceeds from a converter cutting device for a converter which is provided for converting at least one endless fiber into cut fibers, having at least one cutting unit which can be driven rotationally about a rotational axis and comprises at least one cutting means with at least one blade. It is proposed that the cutting means encloses a cutting angle which does not equal 0 degrees with a plane which is oriented perpendicularly with respect to the rotational axis.
Claims17
A converter cutting device for a converter which is provided for converting at least one continuous fiber into cut fibers, comprising:
- at least one cutting unit rotatably driven in rotation about an axis of rotation,
- at least one drive for the cutting unit, comprising at least one shaft to which the cutting unit is connected to form a cutting head which can be driven in rotation about the axis of rotation;
- and
- at least one fixed countercutting unit, wherein
- the cutting unit has at least one cutting means having at least one cutting edge, wherein the cutting means is moved along a direction of movement during a cutting operation, wherein the direction of movement is oriented in a circumferential direction with respect to the axis of rotation,
- the fixed countercutting unit has at least one countercutting edge,
- a cutting angle is provided at least at the cutting edge of the cutting means, and the cutting angle is unequal to 0 degrees with a plane which is oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation,
- the cutting means comprises an inner point and an outer point between which the cutting edge extends, wherein the inner point is at a shortest distance from the axis of rotation and the outer point is at a longest distance from the axis of rotation,
- the entire cutting means is tilted about a tilting axis to set the cutting angle, and the tilting axis runs in the plane which is oriented perpendicularly to the axis of rotation,
- the tilting axis extends along a radial direction with respect to the axis of rotation, and
- with respect to the tilting axis,
- the inner point is offset to the outer point along a direction running perpendicular to the rotation axis,
- the inner point is offset to the outer point along a direction running parallel to the axis of rotation and
- the inner point is offset to the outer point along the direction of movement.
