Patent EP-0645569-A2 (EP)
Inventor: REINICKE ROBERT H
IPC: F16K31/04
Filed: 1994-08-22
Abstract: A valve construction wherein the rotor shaft (32) of a reversible electric motor is axially displaceable between axially spaced elements (35,40) of a differential-screw system for driven displacement of a valve member (14). Each of these spaced elements is preferably a ball screw, independently cooperative with upper and lower regions of the rotor shaft, i.e., at the respective upper and lower sides of the rotor (31) carried by the shaft. The valve of the invention and its control and drive system are contained within a housing (10) which fixedly mounts (a) the ball-screw nut of the upper element of the differential-screw system and (b) the stator of the motor (30) , so that motor-driven rotation results in axial displacement of the rotor and its shaft, pursuant to the helical advance lead or pitch of the upper ball-screw nut. The ball-screw nut of the lower element of the differential-screw system is (a) engaged to the shaft and (b) axially displaceable yet effectively keyed against rotation with respect to the housing; and this lower ball-screw nut (40) is adapted to provide axial displacement control of a poppet-valve member (14) with respect to its coacting seat (13), in a valve-body passage between inlet and outlet ports (11,12) of the valve. Great mechanical advantage is achieved for relatively low motor-torque delivery, when the helical leads (or pitches) of the respective ball screws are in the same direction but are slightly different.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for fitting a tubular roll mantle of a roll intended for a paper machine or equivalent with glide bearings. In the method the roll mantle (12) is supported on a stationary roll axle (11) by means of hydraulic glide bearing elements (14,14a,15,16,16a) acting upon the roll mantle (12) or upon the roll ends (13,13a), said bearing elements being loaded hydraulically by means of the pressure of a pressure medium. In the invention, the roll mantle (12) is supported on the roll axle (11) by means of glide bearing elements (15,16,16a) acting radially and/or axially in opposite directions, so that, when a outside force that shifts or attempts to shift the roll mantle (12) in the direction transverse to the radial principal loading direction and in the axial direction is applied to the roll mantle (12), the pressure in the glide bearing element (15;16,16a) placed at the side of the higher loading is adjusted to a level higher than the pressure in the glide bearing element acting in the opposite direction so that the outside forces are neutralized. In the principal loading direction, the roll mantle (12) is allowed to be shifted over a certain distance, in which case, when the roll mantle (12) approaches its preset extreme position in this direction, the movement of the roll mantle (12) is braked down, and finally the movement is stopped in its extreme position by means of the glide bearing elements (14,14a). The invention also concerns a roll that makes use of the method.

Abstract: In printing a pseudo half tone image, the pulse width of an image data pulse is reduced, so that when isolated dots in the image are prinred, the isolated dot part become whitish and repeatability may be lowered. A region division section judges whether the data are binary data of characters or the pseudo half tone image data. For the pseudo half tone image data, a dot pattern identification section discriminates consecutive dots from isolated dots. An image data pulse control section controlls the pulse width of the image data pulse in accordance with the result of the identification. A printer engine performs print as output with each dot of which dimention is dependent on the controlled pulse width. Therefore when the image with characters and pictures mixed togather is output, the printing as output can be performed in accordance with the character region and the pseudo half tone image region.

Abstract: A trash removal system for a multi-position open end spinning machine has a trash conveyor band (46,47) running in a duct (45). Trash ports (51) lead from the fibre opening housing (41) into the duct (45). Apart from the trash ports (51), the duct (45) has a closed profile. The trash ports (51) are situated in the wall (61) facing the fibre opening section (10) of the spinning units. Preferably in the fibre opening section (10)the opening roller (40) produces a stream of fibres to the rotor (23). Trash is thrown into the trash exit (44) from where it is continuously removed by a conveyor belt (46,47) in the duct (45). The duct (45) is made up of U-shaped sheet metal parts (49) and has a hinged flap (62) so that it can be opened and both parts of the band (46,47) become accessible for cleaning. The continuous movement of the trash belt (46) induces an air flow in the upper half of the duct. Near the trash ports (51) the top of the duct has inclined guide vanes (54) which, together with the induced air flow, produce a slight suction at the trash ports (51) and prevent accumulations of deposits.
