Method in winding of a paper web

Abstract: The invention concerns a method in winding of a paper web, in which method the paper web is wound by means of a winder or equivalent and in which method the running speed of the winder is controlled. In the method, the running speed (S) of the winder is controlled based on the frequency of rotation of the roll so that, when the frequency of rotation of the roll approaches a range of oscillation (1,2), i.e. a range of frequency of rotation of the roll in which intensive oscillation occurs, the running speed (S) is lowered quickly so that the speed of rotation of the roll is reduced to a level lower than the lower frequency of the range of oscillation (1,2), and after this the running speed (S) of the winder is increased so that the frequency of rotation (F) of the roll remains invariable until the original running speed (S) of the winder is reached.

Description: The invention concerns a method in winding of a paper web, in which method the paper web is wound by means of a winder or equivalent into a paper roll and in which method the running speed of the winder is controlled in relation to the oscillations of the winder. It is known from the prior art that in winding, for example when a paper web is wound in a slitter-winder, with certain paper grades, for example fine paper or liner papers, intensive oscillation peaks always occur at the same ranges of frequency of rotation of the roll irrespective of the running speed of the slitter. The number of these ranges of oscillation, i.e. ranges of frequency of rotation of the roll, in which intensive oscillation occurs in the slitter-winder, is as a rule 1 to 3, depending on the ultimate diameter of the roll. This intensive oscillation produces winding broke, mechanical wear of the equipment, even detaching of the roll from the winding device, and lowering of the winding capacity, because the running speed must be lowered during winding. With respect to prior art, reference is made Patent Abstracts of Japan vol. 013, No. 065 (M-797), 14 February 1989 -& JP-A-63 267 650 and Patent Abstracts of Japan vol. 018, No. 338 (M-1628), 27 June 1994 -& JP-A-06 080 289. Patent Abstracts of Japan vol. 013, No. 065 (M-797) discloses a method in winding a paper web, in which method the paper web is wound by means of a winder or equivalent and in which method the running speed of the winder is controlled in relation to the oscillations of the winder. Patent Abstracts of Japan vol. 018, No. 338 (M-1628) discloses a similar type of arrangement. The object of the invention is to provide a method in winding of a paper web in which the effects of the ranges of oscillation are eliminated or at least minimized. In view of achieving the objectives stated above and those that will come out later, the method in accordance with the invention is mainly characterized in that, in the method, the running speed of the winder is controlled based on the frequency of rotation of the paper roll that is being formed so that, when the frequency of rotation of the paper roll being formed approaches a known range of oscillation, i.e. a range of frequency of rotation of the paper roll being formed in which intensive oscillation occurs, the running speed is lowered quickly so that the speed of rotation of the paper roll being formed is reduced to a level lower than the lower frequency of the range of oscillation, and that after this the running speed of the winder is increased so that the frequency of rotation of the paper roll being formed remains invariable until the original running speed of the winder is reached. According to the invention, the oscillation is reduced so that the frequency of rotation of the roll is monitored during running, and the speed of running is lowered so that the frequency of rotation of the roll quickly passes through a known range of oscillation. After this the slitter-winder is accelerated back to the running speed by keeping the frequency of rotation of the roll invariable. This procedure is repeated at each point of oscillation, in which connection, with such "evading of oscillation", the running speed of the slitter can be increased because of the reduced oscillation, whereby the effects of the ranges of oscillation can be eliminated almost completely or at least minimized. In the following, the method in accordance with the invention will be described in more detail with reference to the figures in the accompanying drawing, wherein Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of the oscillation in the winder section at an arbitrary invariable running speed, and Figure 2 is a schematic illustration of the frequency of rotation of the roll during a change when the "evading of oscillation" in accordance with the invention is applied. The method in accordance with the invention is based on the idea that, for example, based on measurements of oscillation, those ranges of rotation of the roll are known in which oscillation occurs. In Fig. 1, the horizontal axis represents the frequency F of rotation of the roll, and the vertical axis represents the oscillation V, and the diameter D of the roll increases from right to left. From the figure, two different ranges 1,2 of oscillation come out, i.e. ranges at which intensive oscillation occurs. In Fig. 2 the roll diameter D increases from left to right, and the first 1 and the second 2 ranges of oscillation are represented by the areas shaded with dashed lines. The frequency F of rotation of the roll during a change is represented by the vertical axis. The dashed line illustrates the running speed S of the winder, and the solid curve T illustrates the frequency F of rotation of the roll as a function of the roll diameter D during a change. According to the invention, the control of the running speed S of the winder, for example a slitter-winder, is based on monitoring of the frequency F of rotation of the roll. When the frequency F of rotation of the roll is lowered close to the first range 1 of oscillation, the running speed S is lowered quickly to such an extent that the speed of rotation of the roll becomes lower than the lower frequency of the first oscillation range 1. After this the running speed S of the slitter-winder is raised so that the frequency F of rotation of the roll remains invariable until the original running speed S is again reached. When the frequency F of rotation of the roll is lowered further close to the second oscillation range 2, the procedure described above is repeated. The procedure is similar at all possible ranges of oscillation. Although, the invention has been described above with reference to a preferred exemplifying embodiment, the invention is not restricted to the details of said embodiment.
