Definitions

  • the automatic machine to produce the spacer frame by means of bending
  • the automatic machine to fill the hollow part of the spacer frame with hygroscopic material
  • the automatic or semi-automatic machine for applying the butyl sealant to each side face of the spacer frame, the insulating glass manufacturing line.
  • the transfer of the spacer frame from one machine to the other is so far achieved with totally manual procedures, to the point of even having to handle every single spacer frame in certain cases or in certain phases, or at the most automatically only for the conveying phases from the automatic butyl extruder to the insulating glass manufacturing line.
  • the 'insulated glass' is formed by bonding two or more glass sheets separated by one or more hollow frames presenting micro-holes on the inner face of the frames, the same spacer frames containing hygroscopic material within the hollow part and the chamber (or chambers) which is/are confined by the glass sheets or spacer frame (or frames) which can either contain air or gas or a mixture of gases which confer to the 'insulated glass' particular properties, such as, for example thermal insulating and/or noise insulating.
  • the bonding between glass and spacer (or spacers) is obtained by two levels of sealing, the first being that of creating air-tightness (and also useful for the manufacture of insulated glass), the second having the function of creating the cohesion between the components and mechanical resistance of the bond between the same.
  • the glass sheets used in the forming of insulated glass can present different conformations according to the use of the same, for example the outer glass sheet can be either normal or reflective (in order to limit thermal absorption during the Summer months, or laminated/armoured (for those cases against intrusion or vandalism), or laminated/tempered glass (for safety use) or combined (for example reflective and laminated to obtain a combination of the properties), the internal glass sheet can be either normal or low-emissive (to limit heat dispersion during the Winter months) or laminated/tempered (for safety functions) or combined (for example low-emissive and laminated to obtain a combination of properties).
  • the outer glass sheet can be either normal or reflective (in order to limit thermal absorption during the Summer months, or laminated/armoured (for those cases against intrusion or vandalism), or laminated/tempered glass (for safety use) or combined (for example reflective and laminated to obtain a combination of the properties)
  • the internal glass sheet can be either normal or low-emissive (to limit heat dispersion during the Winter
  • the essential feature of the system of devices is that of having contrived particular mechanisms for supporting and transferring, as well as feeding the station or the machine whose device is interfaced as well as the transfer between one machine and the other, acting on one of the frame's right-angles and taking advantage of the force of gravity to secure it.
  • FIGURE 1 schematically represents the peripheral portion of the insulated glass in a series of non-exhaustive illustrations of possible combinations: 1A normal, 1B triple glass, 1C stepped glass, 1D external laminated glass with internal low-emissive glass, 1E external tempered reflective glass with low-emissive internal laminated glass.
  • the two types of sealant materials used are highlighted: in black the butyl sealant that has airtight proprieties (first sealing), and with the dotted line, the polysulphide, polyurethane or silicone sealant which has the propriety of mechanical resistance (second sealing).
  • the internal/external direction is visibly identified with icons, which represent the sun (external side), and the heating element (internal side).
  • FIGURE 2 represents a semi-automatic version of the group of machines, indicated with double capital letters: [PB] form the English 'Profile-Bender' (automatic profile bending machine); [DF] from the English 'Desiccant Filler', (machine for filling frames with hygroscopic material); [MB] from the English 'Manual Butyliser' (automatic butyl sealant applying machine); [IL] from the English 'Insulating Glass Line' (Insulating glass manufacturing line).
  • the frame is transferred by means of an automatic unloader [au] which feeds a truck conveyor [tc] (which holds the frame in correspondence to one of its right angles), this last one being pushed manually by the operator until it locks into the automatic loader applied to the desiccant filler [DF].
  • the frame is transferred by means of the overhead conveyor [oc] (which supports the frame along one of its right angles) and from which the operator using the manual butyliser withdraws the frame for its subsequent butylising process.
  • the frame is transferred by means of an overhead conveyor [oc] (which supports the frame in correspondence to one of its right angles) onto which the operator of the manual butyliser hangs the frame and from which the operator from the production line for the insulating glass [IL] withdraws the frame for its subsequent manual positioning on the production line by applying it directly onto the glass sheet onto which the spacer frame remains perfectly adhered.
  • an overhead conveyor [oc] which supports the frame in correspondence to one of its right angles
  • FIGURE 3 represents a completely automatic version of the group of machines, indicated with double capital letters: [PB] form the English 'Profile-Bender' (automatic profile bending machine); [DF] from the English 'Desiccant Filler', (machine for filling frames with desiccant material); [MB] from the English 'Manual Butyliser' (automatic butyl applying machine); [IL] from the English 'Insulating Glass Line' (Insulating glass manufacturing line).
  • the frame is transferred by means of an automatic unloader [au] which (eventually) feeds the truck conveyor (which supports the frame in correspondence to one of its right angles) which moves automatically on track guides until it locks with the automatic loader [al] of the desiccant filler [DF].
  • the frame is transferred by means of an overhead conveyor [oc] (which supports the frame in correspondence to one of its right angles) to the automatic loader [al] in correspondence to the automatic butyliser [AB].
  • FIGURE 4 represents the constructive details of the mechanisms which apply to the inventive idea of this invention, (referring to the station [DF]) that is, by holding the spacer frame [1] suspended in correspondence to one of its right angles and secured thanks to the sole action of the force of gravity (with spacer frame, the range of spacer frames [1] is intended) .
  • the base plate [P] is equipped with an arched-form grille which permits the same base plate [P] to rotate without interfering with the fixed pin [4.1] which runs across it. Subsequently, the base plate which supports the pins [P] rotates around its axis [A] sending the pin 4.5 against the extrados of the frame and the pins [4.2], [4.3] and [4.4] against the intrados of the frame; this last frame therefore finds itself in contrast with the series of pins [4.2], [4.3], [4.4] and [4.5] due to its weight and therefore remains solidly fixed (together with all the other frames [1] to form a consecutive range) in all the subsequent operations such as transport, the transfer and the correct coupling (of one frame at a time) to the machine, for example the desiccant filler [DF].
  • the base plate which supports the pins [P] rotates around its axis [A] sending the pin 4.5 against the extrados of the frame and the pins [4.2], [4.3] and [4.4] against the
  • the invention hereby presented is liable to numerous and accomplishable variations (with respect to what can be recovered form the designs) which all come within the inventive idea formed by the supporting aspect of the spacer frames, these variations can concern the means of working which can be either electric, electro-electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic and/or combined, etc., the means of control which can be electronic or fluidic and/or combined, etc.
  • the constructive details can be substituted with other technically equivalent.
  • the materials and the dimensions can be any type according to requirements in particular deriving from the frame types and dimensions.
  • the field of application can include not only the spacer frame field for insulated glass panels but any field where the issue is that of moving or transferring objects having a framed shape.
  • a protective structure be it of the type which safeguards the mechanical parts, be it of the optical barrier type or tread-sensible mats, etc., in that particular attention is paid, other than to the functional and ergonomic aspects, which are part of the contents of this invention, also to health and safety aspects.
