DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

(11) A corrugated board facility, as shown partially schematically in FIG. 1, comprises a first arrangement 1 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side and a second arrangement 2 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side.

(12) A first splice mechanism 3 and a second splice mechanism 4 are associated with the first arrangement 1 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side, while a third splice mechanism 5 and a fourth splice mechanism 6 are associated with the second arrangement 2 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side.

(13) The first splice mechanism 3 comprises a first unrolling unit 8 to unroll a finite first material web from a first material web roll 7 and a second unrolling unit 10 to unroll a finite second material web from a second material web roll 9. The finite first and second material web are connected to one another by means of a connecting and cutting unit, not shown, of the first splice mechanism 3 to provide a continuous first material web 11. With each connection of the finite first and second continuous webs to one another, a first connection seam is produced in the continuous first material web 11.

(14) The second splice mechanism 4 is configured in accordance with the first splice mechanism 3. This has a third unrolling unit 13 to unroll a finite third material web from a third material web roll 12 and a fourth unrolling unit 15 to unroll a finite fourth material web from a fourth material web roll 14. The finite third and fourth material webs are connected to one another by means of a connecting and cutting unit, not shown, of the second splice mechanism 4 to provide a continuous second material web 16. With each connection of the third and fourth material webs to one another, a second connection seam is produced in the continuous second material web 16.

(15) The continuous first material web 11 is fed by means of first deflection rollers 17 and the continuous second material web 16 is fed by means of at least one second deflection roller 18 of the first arrangement 1 to produce a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side.

(16) The third splice mechanism 5 is configured in accordance with the first splice mechanism 3. To unroll a finite fifth material web from a fifth material web roll 19 this comprises a fifth unrolling unit 20 and to unroll a finite sixth material web from a sixth material web roll 21 comprises a sixth unrolling unit 22. The finite fifth and sixth material webs are connected to one another to provide a continuous third material web 23 by means of a connecting and cutting unit, not shown, of the third splice mechanism 5. During each connection of the fifth and sixth material webs to one another, a third connection seam is produced in the continuous third material web 23.

(17) The fourth splice mechanism 6 is configured substantially corresponding to the second splice mechanism 4. This comprises a seventh unrolling unit 25 to unroll a finite seventh material web from a seventh material web roll 24 and an eighth unrolling unit 27 to unroll a finite eighth material web from an eighth material web roll 26. The finite seventh and eighth material webs are connected to one another by means of a connecting and cutting unit, not shown, of the fourth splice mechanism 6 to provide a continuous fourth material web 28. During each connection of the seventh and eighth material webs to one another, a fourth connection seam is produced in the continuous fourth material web 28.

(18) The continuous third material web 23 is fed by means of third deflection rollers 29 and the continuous fourth material web 28 is fed by means of at least one fourth deflection roller 30 of the second arrangement 2 to produce a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side.

(19) The first arrangement 1 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side comprises a first corrugating roller 33 rotatably mounted about a first rotational axis 32 and a second corrugating roller 35 rotatably mounted about a second rotational axis 34 to produce a continuous first corrugated web 31 having a corrugation from the continuous second material web 16. The corrugating rollers 33, 35, to guide through and corrugate the continuous second material web 16, form a roller gap, the rotational axes 32, 34 running parallel to one another. The corrugating rollers 33, 35 form a corrugating mechanism.

(20) To connect the continuous first corrugated web 31 to the continuous first material web 11 to form a first corrugated board web 36 laminated on one side, the first arrangement 1 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side has a first glue application mechanism 37, which comprises a first glue metering roller 38, a first glue container (not shown) and a first glue application roller 39. To guide through and glue the continuous first corrugated web 31, the first glue application roller 39 with the first corrugating roller 33 forms a gap, the first glue application roller 39 being partially arranged within the first glue container. The glue is applied to tips of the corrugation. The first glue metering roller 38 rests against the first glue application roller 39 and is used to form a uniform glue layer on the first glue application roller 39.

(21) The first material web 11 is then joined to the first corrugated web 31 provided with glue from the glue container in the first arrangement 1 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side.

(22) To press the first material web 11 against the first corrugated web 31 provided with glue, said corrugated web in turn resting in regions on the first corrugating roller 33, the first arrangement 1 for producing a continuous corrugated board web laminated on one side has a pressure belt module 40.

(23) The pressure belt module 40 is arranged above the first corrugating roller 33. It has a deflection roller 42 rotatably mounted about a third rotational axis 41 and a rotatably mounted belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 arranged downstream from the deflection roller 42 as well as a continuous pressure belt 44, which is guided around the deflection roller 42 and the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 in a running direction or peripheral direction LR. The third rotational axis 41 is fixed. The deflection roller 42 has two bearing journals 45 on the end face, which are rotatably mounted in deflection roller bearings (not shown).

(24) The first corrugating roller 33 engages, in regions, in a space present between the deflection roller 42 and the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43. The pressure belt 44 is deflected here by the first corrugating roller 33. The pressure belt 44 presses against the first material web 11, which is in turn pressed against the first corrugated web 31 provided with glue and resting on the first corrugating roller 33. In its mutually opposing outer edge regions 82, it has running lengths or wrap lengths L1 and L3 and, substantially centrally in between, a running length or wrap length L2. Ideally, the running lengths L1, L2, L3 are identical. During operation, these may, differ from one another without regulation.

(25) The belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 can be uniformly varied with respect to its spacing in relation to the deflection roller 42 and can also be tilted about a tilting point K in relation to said deflection roller.

(26) The belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 has two bearing journals 46 on the end face opposing one another, which have the form of a circle or circular ring in cross section. The belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 has a longitudinal centre axis 81. Each bearing journal 46 is rotatably mounted in a bearing body 47 with a bearing opening 48 adapted to the respective bearing journal 46 about the longitudinal centre axis 81, which therefore also forms a rotational axis or bearing axis. Each bearing body 47 is articulated to a lever part 51 by means of an articulation body 49, which predetermines a pivot axis 50. The bearing bodies 47 are identical. The lever parts 51 are also identical.

(27) Furthermore, a belt tensioning adjusting means 52 that can be adjusted with respect to length is functionally arranged between each bearing body 47 and the associated lever part 51. The belt tensioning adjusting means 52 are preferably telescopic. Each belt tensioning adjusting means 52 is connected in an articulated manner by means of a coupling body 54 predetermining a pivot axis 53 to the respective bearing body 47. In each bearing body 47, the articulation bodies 49 and the coupling bodies 54 are arranged spaced apart from the bearing opening 48 and spaced apart from one another. Moreover, each belt tensioning adjusting means 52 is connected in an articulated manner to the respective lever part 51 by means of a coupling body 56 predetermining a pivot axis 55. Moreover, in each lever part 51, the articulation bodies 49 are arranged spaced apart from the coupling bodies 56. The pivot axes 50, 53, 55 run parallel to one another.

(28) Upon a uniform actuation of the two belt tensioning adjusting means 52, the bearing bodies 47 and the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 mounted therein are pivoted relative to the lever parts 51 about the pivot axis/axes 50. The tensioning movement of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 is therefore in the form of a circular arc. This leads to a change in the tension in the pressure belt 44. If the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 is further removed from the deflection roller 42, the tension in the pressure belt 44 is increased. Conversely, the tension in the pressure belt 44 is reduced when the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 approaches the deflection roller 42.

(29) The two lever parts 51 are substantially coupled to one another by means of coupling members 57 and a synchronous shaft 58. One of the coupling members 57 is articulated to each lever part 51 by means of a coupling part 60 predetermining a pivot axis 59. In each lever part 51, the pivot axes 59 are arranged spaced apart from the pivot axes 55. A connection means 61, which is rigidly connected to the synchronous shaft 58 at the end and runs eccentrically to the synchronous shaft longitudinal centre axis 62 thereof, engages in each coupling member 57. The connection means 61 are configured in the manner of a journal and are arranged on opposing ends of the synchronous shaft 58. The connection means 61 are arranged in a common plane of symmetry, which also goes through the synchronous shaft longitudinal centre axis 62. They have an identical spacing from the synchronous shaft longitudinal centre axis 62 and have connection means axes 63 running spaced apart or offset with respect to one another. The pivot axes 59, the synchronous shaft longitudinal centre axis 62 and the connection means axes 63 run parallel to one another and parallel to the pivot axes 50, 53, 55, when no regulation takes place.

(30) A bearing opening 64 is arranged in each lever part 51 between the pivot axes 55, 59. A bearing body (not shown) engages in each bearing opening 64 and thus predetermines a pivot axis 65 for the respective lever part 51. The pivot axes 65 are fixed and run parallel to the pivot axes 50 when no regulation takes place. The bearing body is arranged on the adjacent bearing means, which rotatably mounts the deflection roller 42.

(31) The synchronous shaft 58 is pivotable about its synchronous shaft longitudinal centre axis 62 by means of a pivot drive 66, which is directly or indirectly coupled to the synchronous shaft 58. A pivoting of the synchronous shaft 58 about it synchronous shaft longitudinal centre axis 62 in turn results in a displacement of the two connected connection means 61 about the synchronous shaft longitudinal centre axis 62. Owing to the coupling between the connection means 61 with the coupling members 57, these are then also pivoted about the coupling parts 60 or the pivot axis 59 thereof. The coupling parts 60 then in turn have an articulated connection to the two lever parts 51. Owing to the coupling of the two lever parts 51 by means of the synchronous shaft 58, the two lever parts 51 are pivoted in the opposite direction in relation to one another, which therefore results in a tilting of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 53 about the tilting point K. The connection means 61 or lever parts 51 are pivoted by the same amount. If the one lever part 51 is thus moved upwardly, the other lever part 15 is lowered correspondingly by the same amount because of the coupling. The belt running regulating movement of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 is therefore in the form of a circulating arc. The running lengths L1, L2, L3 of the pressure belt 44 preferably only marginally change during the tilting of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43. It is advantageous if substantially no adjusting moment is required to adjust the synchronous shaft 58.

(32) When the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 is tilted relative to the deflection roller longitudinal centre axis 41 in order to change the direction of the pressure belt 44, the tension in the pressure belt 44 substantially remains unchanged across the width thereof. Adjustment of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 by means of the belt running regulating adjustment mechanism 84 thus takes place in such a way that the tension in the pressure belt 44 substantially remains unchanged or is only slightly changed across the width thereof. In contrast thereto, pressure belt modules are known from prior art in which the tension in the pressure belt changes across its width when a regulating roller is tilted in order to change the direction of a pressure belt. Furthermore, pressure belt modules comprising belt tensioning rollers and belt running regulating rollers are known from prior art in which the tension of the pressure belt substantially remains unchanged when performing a simultaneous adjustment of a belt tensioning roller and a belt running regulating roller. The last-mentioned pressure belt modules however have a complex design.

(33) The pivot drive 66 has a signal connection to a regulating mechanism 68 by means of a signal line 67. Furthermore, two detection sensors 69 have a signal connection to the regulating mechanism 68. The detection sensors 69 are oriented in such a way that they detect the edge regions 82 of the pressure belt 44 and a central region of the pressure belt 44 between the deflection roller 42 and the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 substantially opposing the first corrugating roller 33. The running lengths L1, L2, L3 are then determined. The belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 is then optionally adjusted in such a way that the running lengths L1, L2 and L3 are substantially identical. The belt tension is optionally adjusted accordingly. The tilting point K is located substantially on a resulting linear load LL of the pressure belt 44. The linear load LL runs substantially perpendicularly to the belt running regulating movements of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43.

(34) In FIG. 10, lever arm lengths 11, 12, 13 and 14, which all emanate from the pivot axis 65, are drawn in. The first lever arm 11 in this case goes up to the longitudinal centre axis 81 of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43 if this is in a first belt running regulating end position. The lever arm 13 goes to the longitudinal centre axis 81 of the belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller 43, if this is in the other, second belt running regulating end position. The lever arms 12 and 14 in each case go to the pivot axis 59 in their respective end position. It is advantageous if the ratios 11 to 12 and 13 to 14 are substantially identical.

(35) A belt tensioning adjustment mechanism 83 is substantially formed by the bearing bodies 47 and the articulation bodies 49.

(36) A belt running regulating adjustment mechanism 84 is substantially formed by the lever parts 51, the coupling members 57, the coupling parts 60, the connection means 61 and the synchronous shaft 58.

(37) The belt tensioning adjustment mechanism 83 and the belt running regulating adjustment mechanism 84 form a belt tensioning and belt running regulating roller adjustment device 83, 84.

(38) The pivot drive 66 forms an adjusting actuator. The pivot drive 66 and the belt tensioning adjusting means 52 form an adjusting device. They can be actuated together or separately.

(39) To temporarily store and buffer the first corrugated board web 36 laminated on one side, the latter is fed to a first storage mechanism 70, where the latter has loops.

(40) The second arrangement 2 is identical to the first arrangement 1. Reference is made to the previous description. The fourth material web 28 is corrugated by the corrugating rollers 33, 35, so a second corrugated web is then present. The second corrugated web is connected to the third material web 23, so a second corrugated board web 71 laminated on one side is produced. The second corrugated board web 71 is stored and buffered in a second storage mechanism 72.

(41) Located downstream of the storage mechanisms 70, 72 is a preheating mechanism 73, which comprises three heating rollers 74 arranged one above the other. The first corrugated board web 36 laminated on one side and the second corrugated board web 71 laminated on one side and a cover web 75 are fed from a fifth splice mechanism 76 to the preheating mechanism 73 and partly encircle the respective heating roller 74.

(42) Arranged behind the preheating mechanism 73 is a gluing device 77 with two gluing rollers 78 arranged one above the other, which are partly immersed in a glue bath 79. The corrugated board webs 36, 71 laminated on one side are in contact with the respective gluing roller 78.

(43) Arranged behind the gluing device 77 is a heating device 80. The corrugated board webs 36, 71 laminated on one side and the cover web 75 are pressed onto one another and glued to one another in the heating device 80.
