Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transducer for distance measurement, especially between a stator and a rotor in a refiner for paper pulp production, according to the preamble to Patent Claim 1.
- the size of the beating gap between a stator and a rotor changes during operation as a result of wear and tear on the mutually facing beating segments on the stator and rotor.
- Refiners of this type usually have long operating periods, often several months, so that the size of the beating gap should be able to be monitored during operation.
- the object of the invention is to produce an improved transducer offering increased measuring accuracy in connection with wear of the transducer head. Another object is to achieve this with a simple solution.
- Disclosure of the invention The object of the invention is achieved by realizing a transducer having the characteristics as indicated in Patent Claim 1.
- the effect is that only the holder and the actual measuring pole will become worn.
- the holder was fully incorporated in the casing of the transducer, the casing also became worn.
- the solution according to the invention has the effect that the measuring situation for the transducer is changed less than previously in the event of wear and tear, resulting in increased precision.
- the solution according to the invention also makes it reliably easy to obtain very good sealing of the active end of the transducer by means of an external joint.
- Fig. 1 shows a diagrammatic view of a machine provided with a transducer according to the invention
- Fig. 2 shows a detail of a transducer mounting in the stator on a machine according to Fig. 1 ,
- Fig. 3 shows a section through a transducer according to the invention
- Fig. 4 shows an enlarged detail in Fig. 3,
- Fig. 5 shows a variant of the realization in Fig. 4,
- Fig. 6 shows a graph of the relationship between distance and measuring signal in respect of different transducer wear in a transducer according to the invention
- Fig. 7 shows a graph corresponding to Fig. 6, but in respect of a transducer realization according to the prior art.
- Fig. 1 shows in diagrammatic representation those parts of a refiner-type machine 1 intended for paper pulp production which are necessary to an understanding of the invention.
- This machine is provided with a rotor 3 mounted rotatably in a stand 2, which rotor is driven by a motor 4 and can also be axially shifted in the direction to and from a stator 5 so as to adjust the size of a beating gap 6 between the rotor 3 and the stator 5.
- a transducer device 7 having a transducer which is of the magnetic type and which expediently works according to the reluctance principle. This type of transducer is well known to persons skilled in the art.
- Two or more transducer devices 7 can expediently be present, distributed around the stator 5.
- both the rotor 3 and the stator 5 are provided with beating segments 8, 9, which have a surface suitable for beating paper pulp and which, in suitable number, are mounted in a ring on the rotor and stator.
- beating segments 8, 9 are subjected to wear and tear during operation and are therefore expediently mounted so as to be exchangeable.
- the stator 5 is provided with a transducer device 7, in which a transducer 10 is mounted in a housing 11 fixedly mounted in the stator 5, which housing, for example, can be screw-fastened in the stator.
- the transducer 10 is normally fixedly mounted in the housing 11 , with its measuring end on a level with the associated beating segment 9, but it may instead be mounted such that it can be axially displaced by means of, for example, a roll screw with small pitch, in which a specific rotation of a control member 12 produces a specific axial displacement of the transducer 10 in either direction.
- the control member 12 can be constituted by, for example, a knob, but it is also possible to utilize, for example, an electric stepping motor or servo motor to be able to carry out the desired manoeuvring at a distance from the stator 5.
- the gap 6 usually has a size of about 0.3 - 1.50 mm.
- beating segments 8, 9 can be worn down at such a rate that a rotor shift of about 2 mm / 2,000 h is necessary in order to maintain the gap size, it is clear that good measuring accuracy is desirable in order to be able, during operation, to make suitable adjustments with a view to maintaining a specific product quality.
- the more detailed configuration of a transducer 10 according to the invention can be seen from Fig. 3.
- the transducer 10 is elongated and is formed at its one end into a measuring head 14, in which a measuring pole 15 made from magnetic material, expediently ferritic stainless steel, is centrally mounted in a holder 16 made of non-magnetic material, expediently of acid-resistant stainless steel.
- the holder 16 is, in turn, fastened at the end of a tubular casing 17 made of magnetic material, expediently ferritic stainless steel.
- the holder 16 is configured as a plug which fits in the casing 17 and covers the end thereof. It has a first section 22, which is situated axially beyond the end of the casing 17 and whose external diameter is here essentially equal in size to the external diameter of the casing 17, but can also be larger or smaller than the external diameter of the casing 17, and a second section 23, which is situated within the casing 17 and whose external diameter is here essentially equal to the internal diameter of the casing 17, but can also be smaller than the internal diameter of the casing 17.
- the holder 16 is held in place in the casing 17 by means of an external, circumferential joint 24, expediently a weld joint, at the transition between the casing 17 and the first section 22 of the holder 16. A leak-tight seam or transition is thereby also obtained between the holder 16 and the casing 17.
- the contacting surface on each of the two sections 22 and 23 of the holder 16 here has the form of a straight circular cylinder, but other realizations are also possible.
- the form can, for example, be conical on one or both contacting surfaces.
- That region around the joint 24 which is marked by a dashed circle in Fig. 3 is shown on larger scale in Fig. 4.
- the first section 22 of the holder 16 accommodates a groove 25 adjacent to the end of the casing 17 and at the end of the casing 17 the casing 17 accommodates a corresponding groove 26.
- Both these grooves 25, 26 are U-shaped, whereby the joint 24 can easily be made relatively thin, with resultant slight heating of the holder 16 and the casing 17 during welding.
- An alternative realization is shown in Fig. 5, in which the grooves 25, 26 are instead V-shaped. Other realizations are also, of course, possible.
- Figs. 6 and 7 illustrate in the form of graphs the relationship between the size D (the horizontal axis) of the beating gap 6 and the size of an output signal R (the vertical axis) read off on a measuring apparatus, at different degrees of wearing of the measuring head 14.
- Fig. 6 shows the result with a solution according to the invention
- Fig. 7 shows the result with a solution according to the prior art in which the holder 16 is on a level with the end of the casing 17 and in which the casing 17 is therefore worn together with the holder 16.
- the curves A, B and C relate to a wear amounting to zero, 0.5 and 1 mm respectively.
- a plausible explanation for the surprisingly good result with a solution according to the invention is that, in the event of wear and tear on the transducer, the electromagnetic flows are impacted less when the casing 17 remains intact in a solution according to the invention than when it is worn away in length in a previously used solution and that the measurement results, in the event of wear and tear on the transducer, are consequently more stable in a solution according to the invention.
