Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for coating spacer frames for insulating glass with adhesive or sealing compound with two nozzles arranged on both sides of a conveyor track for the frame.
  • Devices for coating spacer frames for insulating glass with adhesive or sealant are known.
  • devices in which the spacer frames have to be held with hands while they are being moved by conveyor belts between the coating nozzles (AT-PS 315 404 and 365 550)
  • devices equipped with turning devices for the spacer frames are also known (AT-PS 356 832 and DE-PS 28 03 132).
  • spacer frames which are composed of profile strips and corner angles, can be coated.
  • AT-PS 356 832 it is known to adjust the nozzles with the purpose of adapting the position of the nozzle openings to different spacer profiles (different spacing of the nozzle openings from the horizontal conveyor belt on which the spacer frames are guided lying during the coating process).
  • the turning direction is also moved in each case so that its axis is always "essentially” in the connecting line between the two nozzle openings.
  • the relative position of the connecting line between the openings of the nozzles to the axis, about which the turning device can be pivoted remains constant.
  • Spacer frames with integrally bent frame corners are also known (DE-PS 32 23 881).
  • the invention has for its object to provide a device of the type mentioned, with which spacer frames with curved corners can be coated.
  • the nozzles can also follow the profile strip from which the spacer frame is made, in the bending area, i.e. follow in the corners of the spacer frame and this also during the turning process itself. It is therefore possible to coat the spacer frame continuously in the corner area with adhesive or sealing compound (e.g. butyl rubber).
  • adhesive or sealing compound e.g. butyl rubber
  • the turning device is adjustable in height together with the nozzles. The vertical relative distance between the pivot axis of the turning device and the nozzles cannot be changed.
  • the device shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 has a frame 1 which is substantially L-shaped in a side view and which is supported at the top by means of height-adjustable feet 2 slightly inclined to the rear (cf. FIG. 2).
  • a frame 7 is attached to the carrier 4, in which a plurality of support rollers 8, the axes of which in the basic position shown in FIG. 2 are parallel to the long section of the base frame 1, i.e. are slightly inclined (approx. 5 °) backwards, run, are stored.
  • the support rollers 8 are driven via drive chains by a drive, not shown, at an adjustable speed.
  • the housing 3 there is a storage cylinder for adhesive or sealing compound, with which the spacer frames for insulating glass are coated, and the hydraulic and / or pneumatic presses for conveying the sealing compound to nozzles 10 provided on the upper side of the housing 3.
  • a heater in the housing with which the sealant can be heated to the necessary processing temperature.
  • the nozzles 10 are arranged on both sides of a conveyor track for the spacer frames formed by an endless conveyor belt 11.
  • the drive motor for that Conveyor belt 11 is also housed within the housing 3.
  • the housing 3 carries two or more pivotable pressure rollers 12 which press the section of the spacer frame passed between the nozzles 10 against the conveyor belt 11.
  • the housing 3 there is also a stop which can be pushed back and forth transversely to the conveyor track (not shown in the drawing) and which in its first advanced position stops the spacer frames transported by the device when the conveyor belt 11 continues when a corner of a spacer frame is located is just between the nozzles 10.
  • a two-armed gripper 13 of a turning device is also provided, which can be pivoted about an axis which passes through the outlet openings of the nozzles 10.
  • this gripper 13 is equipped with a height adjustment which also serves to adapt to different spacer profile sizes.
  • the gripper 13 has arms 14 and 15, each carrying at least one clamp 16.
  • the clamps 16 In the basic position of the gripper 13 shown in FIG. 1, the clamps 16 have an upwardly projecting arm 14. This is intended for gripping an upwardly projecting frame section, whereas the clamp 16 on the arm 15 can grasp the frame section resting on the conveyor belt 11 .
  • the conveyor belt 11 is deflected downward on both sides of the nozzles 10 in order to create space for the clamps 16 of the gripper which can be pivoted through 90 ° in the direction of arrow 27 in FIG. 1.
  • the conveyor belt 11 can also consist of several sections consist.
  • the gripper 13 can be pivoted, for example, with the aid of a pneumatically operated pressure medium motor, the pivoting speed being able to be selected to be of different sizes. This makes it possible to pivot larger spacer frames more slowly than smaller ones, so that damage to larger spacer frames is avoided.
  • the clamps each consist of two clamping jaws 17 which carry rubber pads 18.
  • the clamping jaws 17 can be pivoted about axes 19 arranged at a distance from one another.
  • a stop 24 is provided between the legs 20, which defines the open position of the clamp 16.
  • the clamping jaws 17 are pivoted towards one another and come into contact with a section of a spacer frame lying between them and hold them in place. The spacer frame can then be rotated by 90 ° by pivoting the gripper 13.
  • a spacer frame is placed by hand or by a suitable feed device on the section of the conveyor belt 11 on the left in FIG. 1 and is placed against the support rollers 8.
  • the conveyor belt 11 and the support rollers 8 driven at the same peripheral speed convey the spacer frame to the right until its front end, viewed in the direction of movement, reaches between the nozzles 10, where it is initially held by the stop 28 which can be pushed back and forth (Fig. 4).
  • the stop is withdrawn and the spacer frame pressed by the pressure rollers 12 against the conveyor belt 11 is moved, whereby its section resting on the conveyor belt 11 is coated.
  • the gripper 13 and with it the spacer frame is pivoted by 90 ° in the direction of arrow 27 in Fig. 1, so that the next section of the spacer frame to be coated rests on the conveyor belt 11 and after loosening the clamps 16 and tipping the support rollers 8 can be coated (Fig. 6 and 7). During this coating process, the gripper 13 is pivoted back into its starting position shown in FIG. 1.
  • a rigid support wall in which a conveyor belt is provided at a distance above the conveyor belt 11, can also be used for lateral support.
  • This conveyor belt is moved in front of the supporting wall during coating and during the transport of the spacer frames and is driven at the same speed as the conveyor belt 11.
  • either the storage of the turning device (gripper 13) is arranged laterally (parallel to the conveying direction) and the nozzle block carrying the nozzles 10 in the machine frame, or the storage of the turning device is adjustable both laterally and vertically .
  • Servo motors and / or pressure medium cylinders can be used for side and height adjustment. This adjustability of the reversible gripper and / or the nozzles allows the position of the pivot axis of the gripper 13 to be changed relative to the position of the connecting line of the nozzle openings.
  • This relative adjustability allows the nozzles 10 and / or the spacer frames to be moved in such a way that the nozzle openings are always opposite, that is to say also in the region of the bent corners and also during the turning process, to the side surfaces of the spacer frame to be coated. This is in the schematic FIGS. 4 to 7 shown. This means that the spacer frame can also be coated with adhesive or sealing compound in the corner area.
  • either two coaxial rollers are provided, which are assigned to the coatings applied on both sides of the spacer frame, or the roller is profiled according to the outer side of the profile strip forming the spacer frame.
  • a sensor preferably an optical fiber sensor, is provided, which is operatively connected to the control of the drives for the lateral or height adjustment of the turning device and / or the nozzles, so that this (r) is controlled so that the nozzles follow the side surfaces of the spacer frame in the corner area even during the turning process.
  • the abovementioned stop 28 for stopping the spacer frame can be advanced into a second position in which it stops the spacer frame when it is the end of the straight section (the front or the rear end) of one leg of the spacer frame is located between the nozzles 10.
