Abstract

An oscillating nozzle, in particular for a cleaning device, includes a fluid oscillator having an oscillation chamber. The oscillating nozzle is configured in an angled manner, so that the plane of the fluid jet is deflected in the interior of the nozzle. The deflection occurs downstream of the oscillation chamber. A cleaning device and a suction roller are also provided.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An oscillating nozzle for ejecting a fluid jet or an oscillating nozzle for ejecting a fluid jet in a cleaning device, the oscillating nozzle comprising:
a fluid oscillator having an oscillation chamber;
a nozzle interior being angled for deflecting the fluid jet along a jet plane in said nozzle interior downstream of said oscillation chamber; and
an overrun region disposed downstream of said oscillation chamber, said overrun region being defined by defined by two ducts for guiding a fluid stream and an island separating said two ducts, said island defining a portion of duct walls of said two ducts, said jet plane being deflected in said overrun region.

2. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein said jet plane is deflected by an angle of between 1° and 90°.

3. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein said jet plane is deflected by an angle of between 5° and 45°.

4. An oscillating nozzle for ejecting a fluid jet or an oscillating nozzle for ejecting a fluid jet in a cleaning device, the oscillating nozzle comprising:
a fluid oscillator having an oscillation chamber; and a nozzle interior being angled for deflecting the fluid jet along a jet plane in said nozzle interior downstream of said oscillation chamber;
an exit of the oscillating nozzle, and at least one lip disposed at said exit for preventing the fluid jet from widening perpendicularly to said jet plane.

5. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein said fluid jet oscillates and sweeps an oscillation angle in a range of between 90° and 170°.

6. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein said fluid jet oscillates and sweeps an oscillation angle of about 120°.

7. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is completely or partially composed of a metal or a plastics material.

8. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the nozzle is constructed to be integral or in one piece.

9. A cleaning device able to clean a suction roller for a plant for producing or processing a fibrous web, the cleaning device comprising:
a distribution line; and
a plurality of cleaning nozzles configured to be supplied with a cleaning fluid by said distribution line and to eject a fluid jet;
at least one or each of said plurality of cleaning nozzles being an oscillating nozzle according to claim 1 .

10. The cleaning device according to claim 7 , wherein said plurality of cleaning nozzles includes a first quantity and a second quantity of oscillating nozzles each having a jet plane exit angle, and said jet plane exit angles of said first quantity of cleaning nozzles and of said second quantity of cleaning nozzles are different.

11. The cleaning device according to claim 10 , wherein one oscillating nozzle of said first quantity of cleaning nozzles and one oscillating nozzle of said second quantity of cleaning nozzles are disposed in an alternating manner.

12. The cleaning device according to claim 10 , wherein said jet plane exit angle of said first quantity of cleaning nozzles and said jet plane exit angle of said second quantity of cleaning nozzles differ by more than 2°.

13. The cleaning device according to claim 10 , wherein said jet plane exit angle of said first quantity of cleaning nozzles and said jet plane exit angle of said second quantity of cleaning nozzles differ by between 5° and 25°.

14. The cleaning device according to claim 9 , which further comprises a releasable connection, a screw connection or a plug connection connecting said plurality of cleaning nozzles to said distribution line.

15. The cleaning device according to claim 9 , wherein said plurality of cleaning nozzles are disposed at a mutual spacing of less than 500 mm.

16. The cleaning device according to claim 9 , wherein said plurality of cleaning nozzles are disposed at a mutual spacing of between 150 mm and 350 mm.

17. A suction roller for a plant for producing or processing a fibrous web, the suction roller comprising at least one cleaning device according to claim 9 .

18. The suction roller according to claim 17 , wherein the cleaning device is disposed in an interior of the suction roller.

19. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 4 further comprising an inlet have a width, said lip having a length that is at least three times said width of said inlet.

20. The oscillating nozzle according to claim 4 wherein said lip has a length that is at least 6 mm.
