Abstract

Abstract The invention concerns a roll (1) adjustable in zones. The roll comprises a stationary roll axle (3), around which the roll mantle (2) is arranged revolving. The deflection of the roll mantle is regulated by means of glide shoes (5) supported on the roll axle (3) and acting upon the inner face (4) of the roll mantle (2) in the direction of pressing of the roll (1), said glide shoes being loaded by means of a loading produced by pressure fluid by means of pistons (8) placed in cylinder bores in the central axle (3) underneath the glide shoes (5). Adjoining glide shoes (5) in the roll are, at least in pairs, sealed (6) relative each other, being displaceable in the radial direction of the roll (1), so that flow of fluid between the glide shoes (5) and the inner face (4) of the roll mantle (2) is substantially prevented over the lateral ridges on the glide shoes (5) sealed (6) relative each other. Hereby, the power requirement of the rotation of the roll can be made lower.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 159 words
Roll (1) adjustable in zones, comprising a stationary roll axle (3), around which the roll mantle (2) is arranged revolving, the deflection of said roll mantle being regulated by means of glide shoes (5) supported on the roll axle (3) and acting upon the inner face (4) of the roll mantle (2) in the direction of pressing of the roll (1), said glide shoes being loaded by means of a loading produced by pressure fluid by means of pistons (8) placed in cylinder bores in the central axle (3) underneath the glide shoes (5), char­acterized in that adjoining glide shoes (5) are, at least in pairs, sealed (6) relative each other, being displaceable in the radial direction of the roll (1), so that flow of fluid between the glide shoes (5) and the inner face (4) of the roll mantle (2) is substantially prevented over the lateral ridges (9) on the glide shoes (5) sealed (6) relative each other.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 159 words
Roll (1) adjustable in zones, comprising a stationary roll axle (3), around which the roll mantle (2) is arranged revolving, the deflection of said roll mantle being regulated by means of glide shoes (5) supported on the roll axle (3) and acting upon the inner face (4) of the roll mantle (2) in the direction of pressing of the roll (1), said glide shoes being loaded by means of a loading produced by pressure fluid by means of pistons (8) placed in cylinder bores in the central axle (3) underneath the glide shoes (5), char­acterized in that adjoining glide shoes (5) are, at least in pairs, sealed (6) relative each other, being displaceable in the radial direction of the roll (1), so that flow of fluid between the glide shoes (5) and the inner face (4) of the roll mantle (2) is substantially prevented over the lateral ridges (9) on the glide shoes (5) sealed (6) relative each other.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 24 words
Roll as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that adjoining glide shoes (5) are sealed (6) over the entire length of the roll (1).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 66 words
Roll as claimed in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that adjoining glide shoes (5), which are sealed relative one another, are provided with articulated joints relative one another so that movements of the glide shoes (5) relative one another in the radial direction of the roll (1) are permitted, but opening of the seal (6) in the axial direction of the roll (1) is prevented.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 48 words
Roll as claimed in any of the claims 1 to 3, charac­terized in that the seal (6) is attached to one of the adjoin­ing glide shoes (5) only, whereas the other edge of the seal (6) glides along the lateral edge (17) of the other glide shoe (5).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
Roll as claimed in any of the claims 1 to 3, charac­terized in that a seal (6) is attached to each of the adjoin­ing glide shoes (5), which said seals (6) glide against each other.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 31 words
Roll as claimed in any of the claims,1 to 5, charac­terized in that the seal (6) is loaded by means of a resilient base (11) attached to the glide shoe (5).
