Description
Verfahren und Vorrichtung zum Verschweissen der Ränder vonMethod and device for welding the edges of
Kunststoffbahnen Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Verschweissen der Ränder von Bahnen aus Thermoplasten, insbesondere PVC, also von Polyvinylchlorid, und Mischpolymerisaten, wobei die zu verschweissenden Ränder bis zum Erweichen erwärmt und gleichzeitig zusammengepresst werden.Plastic Sheets The present invention relates to a method and a device for welding the edges of thermoplastic sheets, in particular PVC, ie of polyvinyl chloride, and copolymers, with the to Welding edges heated until they soften and pressed together at the same time will.
Derartige Verfahren sind bereits bekannt und werden-beispielsweise derart durchgeführt, dass die zu verschweissenden Ränder der Kunststoffbahnen in einem Hochfrequenzfeld erwärmt, an ihren innen gelegenen Flächen erweicht und dann von Aussen her zusammengepresst werden. Diese Verfahren der Hochfrequenzschweissung liefern zwar haltbare verschweisste Ränder, benötigen aber eine erhebliche Hochfrequenzenergie und sind dementsprechend teuer. Ausserdem ist die maximal zulässige Hochfrequenzenergie in vielen Ländern durch behördliche Bestimmungen begrenzt, um Störungen anderer auf den betr#effenden Frequenzen arbeitender Einrichtungen zu vermeiden.Such methods are already known and are, for example carried out in such a way that the edges of the plastic webs to be welded in heated by a high frequency field, softened on their inner surfaces and then are pressed together from the outside. These methods of high frequency welding deliver durable welded edges, but require a considerable amount of high-frequency energy and are accordingly expensive. In addition, the maximum allowable high frequency energy is in many countries limited by government regulations to avoid interference with others to avoid facilities working on the frequencies concerned.
Natürlich ist auch die sogenannte Quellschweissung bekannt, wobei die sich überlappenden und miteinander zu verschweissenden Ränder der Kunststoffbahnen mit einem flüssigen Quellschweissmittel versehen und dadurch an ihrer Oberfläche plastifiziert werden, so dass dann beim Zusammenpressen dieser Ränder eine Verschweissung der Ränder stattfindet. Unter Verwendung geeigneter Quellschweissmittel kann erreicht werden, dass das Lösungsmittel praktisch vollständig verdampft, was haltbare verschweisste Ränder ergibt.So-called source welding is of course also known, whereby the overlapping edges of the plastic sheets to be welded together provided with a liquid solvent welding agent and thus on their surface are plasticized, so that when these edges are pressed together, a weld occurs the edges takes place. Using suitable solvent welding agents can be achieved that the solvent practically completely evaporates, which is durable welded Margins results.
Auch die sogenannte Thermoschweissung (z. B. Warmgas, Heizkeil) der Ränder von Kunststoffbahnen ist bereits vorgeschlagen worden, jedoch hat sich herausgestellt, dass sowohl PVC-Bahnen als auch Kunststoffbahnen aus Mischpolymerisaten die Neigung besitzen, an den die Thermoschweissung bewirkenden geheizten Bauteilen anzukleben. Deshalb musste bisher bei diesem Verfahren ein Kompromiss zwischen Temperatur und Anpressdruck angestrebt werden, damit einerseits eine genügende Erweichung der einander zugekehrten Flächen der zu verschweissenden Ränder gewährleistet ist, andererseits aber ein Festkleben der Aussenflächen der erhitzten Randbereiche an den geheizten Bauteilen vermieden wird. Ausserdem besteht bei diesen Schweissmethoden die Gefahr von zunächst nicht feststellbaren Temperaturabweichungen infolge Spannungsschwankungen im Stromnetz. Verursacht durch diesen Kompromiss ist die Festigkeit und Dauerhaftigkeit der mit dem Thermoschweissen dieser Art verschweissten Ränder von Kunststoffbahnen häufig zu beanstanden, besonders bei Kunststoffbahnen, die an der Aussenseite von Bauwerken verwendet werden und aggressiven Wetterbedingungen ausgesetzt sind.Also the so-called thermal welding (e.g. hot gas, heating wedge) of the Edges of plastic sheets has already been proposed, but it has been found that both PVC sheets and plastic sheets made of copolymers have the tendency own, on the heated components causing the thermal welding to stick. For this reason, a compromise between temperature had to be made in this process up to now and contact pressure are sought, so that on the one hand a sufficient softening of the facing surfaces of the edges to be welded is guaranteed, on the other hand but sticking of the outer surfaces of the heated edge areas to the heated ones Components is avoided. There is also a danger with these welding methods of initially undetectable temperature deviations due to voltage fluctuations in the power grid. This compromise is caused by strength and durability the edges of plastic sheets welded with this type of thermal welding often objectionable, especially with plastic sheeting on the outside of Structures are used and are exposed to aggressive weather conditions.
Die vorliegende Erfindung hat sich die Aufgabe gestellt, die bisherigen Nachteile des Thermoschweissens zu vermeiden. Das ~erfind,ungsgemässe Verfahren ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass vor dem Zusammenpressen die zu verschweissenden Ränder auf beiden freien Aussenflächen mit je einer Trennlage abgedeckt werden, und dann die Ränder über ihre ganze Länge zwischen geheizten Schienen während einer einstellbaren Schweisszeit und durch einstellbaren Schweissdruck zusammengepresst werden, woraufhin von den an ihren Rändern zusammengeschweissten Bahnen die an den Randbereichen leicht haftenden Trennlagen abgezogen werden. The present invention has set itself the task of the previous Avoid the disadvantages of thermal welding.

Die Erfindung betrifft ausserdem eine Vorrichtung zum Verschweissen der Ränder von Bahnen aus PVC und anderen Kunststoffen mittels Thermoschweissung. The invention also relates to a device for welding the edges of sheets made of PVC and other plastics by means of thermal welding.
Die Erfindung ist nachstehend in einigen Ausführungsbeispielen anhand der Fig. 1 bis 4 näher erläutert. Hiervon zeigen: Fig. 1 eine schematische, in senkrechter Richtung auseinandergezogene Darstellung für das Verschweissen der sich überlappenden Ränder von zwei Kunststoffbahnen; Fig. 2 ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel für das Verschweissen von doppelwandigen Kunststoffbahnen; teig. 3 und 4 einen Aufriss bzw. einen Grundriss der erfindungsgemässen Vorrichtung in schematischer Darstellung; In der Beschreibung wird nachstehend die#Bezeichnung PTFE verwendet, die in Fachkreisen üblich ist für ein Material aus Polytetrafluorethylen.The invention is based on a few exemplary embodiments below 1 to 4 explained in more detail. 1 shows a schematic, vertical view Direction exploded view for the welding of the overlapping Edges of two sheets of plastic; Fig. 2 shows a further embodiment for the Welding of double-walled plastic sheets; dough. 3 and 4 an elevation or a plan view of the device according to the invention in a schematic representation; In the description below, the # designation PTFE is used, which is used in specialist circles is common for a material made of polytetrafluoroethylene.
Das vorliegende Verfahren sei zunächst anhand der Fig. 1 für das erschweissen der Ränder von zwei Kunststoffbahnen 10 bzw. 11 beschrieben, deren sich überlappende Ränder 12 bzw. 13 miteinander verschweisst werden sollen. Wie beim Thermoschweissen üblich, erfolgt die Verschweissung mittels je einer unteren und oberen geheizten Schiene 14 bzw. 15, jedoch werden hier vor dem Zusammenpressen dieser geheizten Schienen 14-und 15 die zu verschweissenden Ränder 12 bzw. 13 auf beiden freien Aussenflächen mit je einer Trennlage 16 bzw. 17 abgedeckt. Dann werden die Ränder 12 und 13 über ihre ganze Länge zwischen den geheizten Schienen 14 und 15 während einer einstellbaren Schweisszeit und einstellbarem Schweissdruck zusammengepresst. Da nunmehr die Aussenflächen der zu verschweissenden Ränder 12 und 13 die erhitzten Schienen 14 bzw. 15 nicht berühren können, besteht kei-ne Gefahr, dass ein Ankleben an den heissen Schienen 14 bzw.15 stattfindet. Die Erhitzung der zu verschweissenden Ränder 12, 13 erfolgt durch die beiden Trennlagen 16 bzw. 17 hindurch, was aber bei geeigneter Wahl des Materials dieser Trennlagen 16, 17 praktisch ohne Wärme- oder Zeitverluste möglich ist.The present method is initially based on FIG. 1 for welding the edges of two plastic webs 10 and 11 described, the overlapping Edges 12 and 13 are to be welded together. As with thermal welding Usually, the welding takes place by means of a lower and an upper heated one Rail 14 or 15, however, these are heated here before they are pressed together Rails 14 and 15, the edges 12 and 13 to be welded on both free outer surfaces each covered with a separating layer 16 or 17. Then the edges 12 and 13 are over their entire length between the heated rails 14 and 15 during an adjustable Welding time and adjustable welding pressure compressed. Since now the outside areas of the edges 12 and 13 to be welded, the heated rails 14 and 15, respectively, do not can touch no risk of sticking to the hot rails 14 or 15 takes place. The heating of the edges to be welded 12, 13 takes place through the two separating layers 16 and 17, respectively, but this is the case with a suitable one Choice of the material of these separating layers 16, 17 with practically no loss of heat or time is possible.
Das Vorhandensein der beiden Trennlagen 16, 17 ermöglicht es aber, die Temperatur der geheizten Schienen 14 bzw. 15 wesentlich höher zu wählen als beim bisher üblichen Thermoschweissen mi.t"nackten" geheizten Presswerkzeugen, da auf die Gefahr des Anklebens des Materials der Kunststoffbahnen 10 bzw. 11 keine Rücksicht mehr genommen werden muss. Die'zulässige höhere Temperatur der geheizten Schienen 14, 15 ermöglicht auch eine Verkürzung der Schweisszeit.However, the presence of the two separating layers 16, 17 makes it possible to choose the temperature of the heated rails 14 and 15 significantly higher than in the previously common thermal welding with "bare" heated press tools, there at the risk of the material of the plastic webs 10 and 11 sticking to it Consideration must be taken more. The 'permissible higher temperature of the heated Rails 14, 15 also enable the welding time to be shortened.
Bei dem vorliegenden Verfahren werden dementsprechend die zu verschweissenden Ränder der beiden Kunststoffbahnen 10 bzw. 11 über ihre ganze Länge zwischen den geheizten Schienen 14 bzw.In the present method, the to be welded are accordingly Edges of the two plastic sheets 10 and 11 over their entire length between the heated rails 14 resp.
15 während der geeignet gewählten Schweisszeit und mit dem geeignet gewählten Schweissdruck zusammengepresst, bis eine innige Verbindung der erweichten Innenseiten der Ränder 12 und 13 stattfindet. Dann wird der Pressvorgang der Ränder 12, 13 beendet, geheizten Schienen 14 bzw. 15 werden voneinander entfernt und anschliessend-werden von den zusammengeschweissten Rändern 12, 13'die leicht haftenden Trennlagen 16 und 17 aboezogen. Bei geeigneter Wahl dieser Trennlagen 16,17 besteht keine Gefahr, dass dieselben mit den Aussenflächen der Ränder 12,13 verschweisst werden, so dass das Abziehen dieser Trennlagen 16,17 ohne Schwierigkeiten möglich ist. Beispielsweise wird je ein flaches Lineal zwischen den Trennlagen 16 bzw.-l7 und den zusammengeschweissten Kunststoffbahnen über die ganze Länge der Trennlagen 16, 17 hindurchgeschoben, womit bereits die Haftung der Trennlagen 16,17 an den Randbereichen 12,13 beseitigt wird.15 during the appropriately selected welding time and with the appropriate selected welding pressure pressed together until an intimate connection of the softened Inside of the edges 12 and 13 takes place. Then the pressing process of the edges 12, 13 finished, heated rails 14 and 15 are removed from one another and then -be the slightly adhering separating layers 16 from the edges 12, 13 ′ that are welded together and 17 subscriptions. With a suitable choice of these separating layers 16, 17 there is no risk of that the same are welded to the outer surfaces of the edges 12, 13, so that the removal of these separating layers 16, 17 is possible without difficulty. For example a flat ruler is placed between the separating layers 16 or -17 and the ones that are welded together Plastic sheets pushed through over the entire length of the separating layers 16, 17, with which the adhesion of the separating layers 16, 17 to the edge regions 12, 13 is already eliminated.
Bei dem vorliegenden Verfahren der Thermoschweissung von PVC-und Mischpolymerisat-Kunststoffbahnen haben sich beispielsweise Trennlagen 16, 17 bewährt, die aus einem Glasfasergewebe bestehen, das mindestens einseitig mit PTFE beschichtet ist. Ebenso können unarmierte Trennlagen Verwendung finden.In the present process of thermal welding of PVC and mixed polymer plastic sheets For example, separating layers 16, 17 made of a glass fiber fabric have proven successful that is coated with PTFE on at least one side. Likewise, unarmored Separating layers are used.
Derartige Trennlagen besitzen beispielsweise eine Dicke von 0,5 mm und sind leicht biegsam und aufrollbar. Falls eine nur einseitig mit PTFE beschichtete Trennlage dieser Art verwendet wird, muss natürlich die beschichtete Seite den Aussenflächen der zu verschweissenden Ränder 12, 13 zugekehrt sein. Da einerseits der Schmelzpunkt von PTFE wesentlich höher liegt als die an den Rändern miteinander zu verschweissenden Kunststoffbahnen, und andererseits erfahrungsgemäss eine PTFE-Schicht nur ein-sehr geringes Bestreben zum Festhaften an erhitzten Flächen aufweist, gewährleistet eine derartige Trennlage beim vorliegenden Verfahren, dass ein Festkleben weder an den zusammengeschweissten Rändern 12, 13, noch an den erhitzten Aussenflächen der Schienen 14 bzw. 15 stattfinden kann. Anstelle des beschichteten Glasfasergewebes können natürlich auch andere hitzebeständige Materialien verwendet werden, wenn gewährleistet ist, dass die Ausdehnung der Trennlage bei den verwendeten Temperaturen vernachlässigbar klein ist.Such separating layers have a thickness of 0.5 mm, for example and are easily flexible and rollable. If one only coated with PTFE on one side Separation layer of this type is used, of course, the coated side must match the outer surfaces facing the edges 12, 13 to be welded. On the one hand, the melting point of PTFE is significantly higher than that to be welded together at the edges Plastic sheeting, and on the other hand, according to experience, a PTFE layer only one-very-a-time has little tendency to adhere to heated surfaces, ensures a such a separating layer in the present method that sticking neither to the welded together edges 12, 13, still on the heated outer surfaces of the rails 14 or 15 can take place. Instead of the coated fiberglass fabric you can Of course, other heat-resistant materials can be used if guaranteed is that the expansion of the separating layer at the temperatures used is negligible is small.
Mit dem vorliegenden Thermoschweissverfahren ist es auch möglich, zwei Kunststoffbahnen längs ihrer Ränder miteinander zu verschweissen, wenn sich dieselben nicht gegenseitig überlappen, sondern mit ihren Stirnkanten stumpf aneinanderstossen.With this thermal welding process, it is also possible to to weld two plastic sheets together along their edges, if they do not overlap one another, but butt against one another with their front edges.
Es wird dann ein oder je ein Kunststoffstreifen auf die Aussenflächen der Randbereiche aufgelegt zwecks Verschweissung mit den Aussenflächen der Ränder der beiden Kunststoffbahnen. Vor der Durchführung der Thermoschweissung werden aber, entsprechend dem vorliegenden Verfahren, mit je einer Trennlage die freien Aussenflächen der ein oder zwei Kunststoffstreifen abgedeckt, so dass dieselben die Oberflächen der erhitzten Schienen nicht berühren.One or one plastic strip is then applied to the outer surfaces of the edge areas placed for the purpose of welding to the outer surfaces of the edges of the two plastic sheets. Before the thermal welding is carried out, however, according to the present process, each with a separating layer, the free outer surfaces the one or two plastic strips covered, making the same the surfaces Do not touch the heated rails.
Die Verwendung des vorliegenden Verfahrens für die Verschweissung der Ränder von Kunststoffbahnen, die mit ihren Stirnkanten stumpf aneinanderstossen, ermöglicht auch beispielsweise die dauerhafte Verbindung von grossflächigen doppelwandigen Kunststoffbahnen. Beispielsweise ist in Fig. 2 die Verschweissung solcher doppelwandiger Kunststoffbahnen dargestellt, wobei es sich um Kunststoffbahnen handelt, die jeweils aus einer unteren und oberen Kunststoffschicht 20, 21 bzw. 24, 25 bestehen und einer andersartigen Zwischenschicht 23 bzw. 26, die beispielsweise ein sogenanntes Abstandsgewebe sein kann, um flüssige oder gasförmige Medien durch die doppelwandige Kunststoffbahn hindurchzuleiten. Um die stumpf aneinanderstossenden Stirnkanten dieser doppelwandigen Kunststoffbahnen 20, -21 bzw. 24, 25 miteinander zu. verbinden, aber dabei den Durchfluss des Mediums durch die Mittelschicht 23 bzw. 26 über die Stirnkanten hinweg nicht zu beeinträchtigen, wird auf die zu verbindenen Randbereiche der beiden doppelwandigen Kunststoffbahnen je ein Kunststoffstreifen 27 bzw. 28 aufgelegt mit der Absicht, den Kunststoffstreifen 27 mit den beiden Kunststoffschichten 20 und 24 zu verschweissen, bzw. den Kunststoffstreifen 28 mit den Kunststoffschichten 21 und 25 unlöslich zu verbinden. Entsprechend deni vorliegenden Verfahren werden die Aussenseiten der Kunststoffstreifen 27 und 28 mit'je einer Trennlage 29 bzw. 30 abge#-deckt und dann der Schweissvorgang durch Anpressen der geheizten Schienen 14 bzw. 15 durchgeführt. Auch hier können nach Abschluss des Schweissvorgangs die Trennlagen 29 und 30 leicht von den Aussenseiten der an den beiden doppelwandigen Kunststoffbahnen angeschweissten Kunststoffstreifen .27 bzw. 28 abgezogen werden.The use of the present method for welding the edges of plastic sheets that butt against each other with their front edges, also enables, for example, the permanent connection of large double-walled Plastic sheeting. For example, in Fig. 2 the welding of such double-walled Plastic webs shown, which are plastic webs, each consist of a lower and an upper plastic layer 20, 21 and 24, 25 and one different types of intermediate layer 23 or 26, for example a so-called spacer fabric can be to liquid or gaseous media through the double-walled plastic sheet pass through. Around the butt abutting front edges of this double-walled Plastic webs 20, -21 or 24, 25 to one another. connect, but with the flow of the medium through the middle layer 23 or 26 over the front edges to affect, is to be connected to the edge areas of the two double-walled Plastic sheets each with a plastic strip 27 or 28 placed with the intention of to weld the plastic strip 27 to the two plastic layers 20 and 24, or the plastic strip 28 with the plastic layers 21 and 25 insoluble associate. According to the present method, the outside of the Plastic strips 27 and 28 are covered with a separating layer 29 and 30, respectively, and then the welding process is carried out by pressing the heated rails 14 and 15 against them. Here too, after the welding process has been completed, the separating layers 29 and 30 can easily from the outside of the welded to the two double-walled plastic sheets Plastic strips .27 or 28 can be pulled off.
Beim vorliegenden thermischen Schweissverfahren unter Verwendung-der beschriebenen Trennlagen kann, wie bereits erwähnt, eine höhere Temperatur verwendet werden als beim bisherigen Thermoschweissen. Es ist dann zweckmässig, beim Zusammenpressen der geheizten Schienen 14 und 15 durch geeignete Massnahmen zu gewährleisten, dass dieselben einen vorbestimmten und einstellbaren Abstand nicht unterschreiten können. Auf diese Weise kann erreicht werden, dass bei der Verschweissung sich gegenseitig überlappender Ränder wie beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 1 ein Breitquetschen der Randbereiche vermieden wird. Eine solche -Begrenzung des kleinsten Abstandes beim Zusammenpressen der geheizten Schienen ist insbesondere bei der Anwendung des vorliegenden Verfahrens für dickere Kunststoffbahnen, etwa die im Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 angedeuteten doppelwandigen Kunststoffbahnen, wichtig.In the present thermal welding process using the As already mentioned, a higher temperature can be used than with previous thermal welding. It is then useful when pressing together the heated rails 14 and 15 by suitable measures guarantee, that the same do not fall below a predetermined and adjustable distance can. In this way it can be achieved that each other during the welding overlapping edges as in the embodiment of FIG. 1, a wide squeeze the edge areas is avoided. Such a limitation of the smallest distance when pressing the heated rails together is particularly important when using the present method for thicker plastic sheets, such as those in the exemplary embodiment according to Fig. 2 indicated double-walled plastic sheets, important.
Das vorliegende Verfahren nach der obenstehenden Beschreibung hat sich in der Praxis bewährt und ermöglicht die Verschweissung der Ränder nicht nur einfacher ebener Kunststoffbahnen, sondern auch insbesondere die Herstellung grossflächiger, aus vielen einzelnen zusammengeschweissten Bahnabschnitten bestehenden Kunststoffabdeckungen, wie sie beispielsweise für Dächer. von Gebäuden bestimmt sind. Hierbei tritt häufig die Notwendigkeit ein, zwei derartige Bahnsegmentelbngs gebogener Randbereiche miteinander zu verschweissen, was eine entsprechend flexible auf solche Bedürfnisse einstellbare Einrichtung erforderlich macht. Das nachstehend beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel einer derartigen Einrichtung zur Durchführung des vorliegenden Verfahrens besteht dementsprechend aus Baugruppen, die entsprechend gegeneinander verstellbar sind und die Anwendung gebogener Heizschienen ermöglichen.The present method, as described above, has has proven itself in practice and not only enables the edges to be welded simple flat plastic sheets, but also especially the production of large, plastic covers consisting of many individual welded-together track sections, as they are for roofs, for example. are determined by buildings. This often occurs the need for one, two such path segments along curved edge regions with one another to weld what a correspondingly flexible adjustable to such needs Establishment required. The embodiment described below such a device for performing the present method exists accordingly from assemblies that are mutually adjustable and enable the use of curved heating rails.
Die in den Fig. 3 und 4 schematisch dargestellte Einrichtung besteht aus einem rahmenartigen Aufbau, der mehrere vertikale Ständer 35 besitzt, deren jeder eine Bodenschiene 36, eine doppelte Säule 37 und einen oberen Querbalken 38 aufweist. Wie in Fig.4 angedeutet, sind im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel drei derartige Ständer 35 vorgesehen, die mit den Längsbalken 39 und 40 am unteren bzw. oberen Ende der doppelten Säulen 37 miteinander verbunden sind. Auch die vorderen Enden der drei Bodenschienen -36 sind miteinander über einen Längsbalken 41 verbunden und ebenso weisen die vorderen Enden der oberen Querbalken 38 eine entsprechende Verbindung mit dem Längsbalken 42 auf. Somit bilden die drei Ständer 35 zusammen mit den Längsbalken 39, 40, 41 und 42-einen starren rahmenartigen Aufbau, der einerseits genügend stabil ist und die beim vorliegenden Verfahren auftreten-Drücke aufnehmen kann, und andererseits sowohl in einer Werkhal1# #ls ~auch auf einer Baustelle beispielsweise zur Herstellung einer Dachabdeckung mittels Kunststoffbahnen einsetzbar ist. In der Praxis hat sich als zweckmässig herausgestellt, dass die einzelnen Ständer 35 einer solchen Einrichtung etwa einen gegenseitigen Abstand von einem Meter aufweisen sollen und die in Fig.4 dargestellte Einrichtung mit drei derartigen Ständern 35 nebeneinander für die. Verschweissung von Kunststoffbahnen bis zu einer Breite von etwa zwei Metern geeignet ist. Durch die Anordnung von mehr als drei derartigen Ständern 35 nebeneinander können natürlich auch die Ränder von Kunststoffbahnen mit grösserer Breite entsprechend dem vorliegenden Verfahren miteinander verschweisst werden.The device shown schematically in FIGS. 3 and 4 consists from a frame-like structure which has a plurality of vertical uprights 35, the each has a bottom rail 36, a double column 37 and an upper cross beam 38 having. As indicated in FIG. 4, there are three in the present exemplary embodiment such stand 35 is provided, which with the longitudinal beams 39 and 40 on the lower or upper end of the double pillars 37 together are connected. The front ends of the three floor rails -36 are also connected to one another via a longitudinal beam 41 connected and likewise the front ends of the upper crossbeams 38 have a corresponding connection with the longitudinal beam 42. Thus, the three uprights form 35 together with the longitudinal beams 39, 40, 41 and 42 - a rigid frame-like structure, which on the one hand is sufficiently stable and the pressures occurring in the present process can record, and on the other hand both in a Werkhal1 # #ls ~ on a construction site can be used, for example, to produce a roof covering by means of plastic sheets is. In practice it has been found to be useful that the individual stands 35 such a device have about a mutual distance of one meter and the device shown in FIG side by side for the. Welding of plastic sheets up to a width of about two meters is suitable. By arranging more than three such Columns 35 next to one another can of course also be the edges of plastic sheets welded together with a larger width according to the present method will.
Die vorderen Enden der Bodenschienen 36 der drei Ständer 35 tragen über je eine Stütze 43 einen Auflagetisch 44, der hier beispielsweise aus geeigneten Hohlprofilen 45 zusammengesetzt ist und sich über die ganze Länge der drei Ständer 35 erstreckt, wie aus Fig.4 ersichtlich ist. Auf diesem Auflagetisch 44 fest.ge--schråubt ist der untere Teil des Schweisswerkzeuges, das aus einem Hohlbalken 46 mit einer thermisch isolierenden Halterung 47 für die Heizschiene 48 mit den hierin eingebetteten elektrischen Heizstäben 49 besteht. Der Hohlbalken-46 kann beidseits mit Oeffnungen 50 versehen sein, deren Zweck weiter unten noch erläutert wird.The front ends of the bottom rails 36 of the three uprights 35 support over a support 43 a support table 44, which here for example from suitable Hollow profiles 45 is composed and extends over the entire length of the three uprights 35 extends, as can be seen from FIG. Screwed firmly to this support table 44 is the lower part of the welding tool, which consists of a hollow beam 46 with a thermally insulating holder 47 for the heating rail 48 with the embedded therein electric heating rods 49 consists. The hollow bar 46 can have openings on both sides 50, the purpose of which will be explained below.
Der obere Teil des Schweisswerkzeuges ist spiegelbildlich angeordnet und besteht aus dem Hohlbalken 51 mit der thermisch isolierenden#Halterung 52 für die Heizschiene 53 mit den darin eingebetteten elektrischen Heizstäben 54. Auch dieser Hohlbalken 51 kann zweckmässigerweise mit seitlichen Oeffnungen 55 versehen sein.The upper part of the welding tool is arranged in a mirror image and consists of the hollow beam 51 with the thermally insulating # bracket 52 for the heating bar 53 with the electrical heating rods 54 embedded therein. Also this hollow beam 51 can conveniently with side openings 55 be provided.
Der obere Teil 51 bis 54 des Schweisswerkzeuges ist an der Kolbenstange 56 eines Druckzylinders 57 befestigt und kann durch entsprechende Steuerung dieses Zylinders 57 nach Bedarf hochgezogen oder nach abwärts geschoben werden. Der Druckzylinder 57 ist an dem senkrechten Balken 58 angebracht . Dieser Balken 58 ist am oberen Querbalken 38 justierbar befestigt und lässt-sich' sowohlnach vorn- und rückwärts als auch seitwärts an dem Querbalken 38 verschieben. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, wie in Fig.4 angedeutet, die Druckzylinder 57- der drei Ständer 35 so gegeneinander verschoben anzuordnen, dass die Anbringung eines gebogenen oberen Schweisswerkzeuges 51 bis 54 möglich ist, in welchem Falle natürlich auch der untere Teil des Schweisswerkzeuges 46 bis 49 auf dem Auflagetisch 44 entsprechend versetzt zur Mittellinie dieses Auflagetisches 44 angeordnet werden müsse Jedenfalls ermöglicht diese Bauweise der Querbalken 38 der Ständer 35 die Anbringung sowohl von geradlinigen als auch von gebogenen Heizschienen 53, wie dies beispielsweise zur Verschweissung von nicht geradlinig verlaufenden Randbereichen von Kunststoffbahnen erwünscht ist.The upper part 51 to 54 of the welding tool is on the piston rod 56 of a pressure cylinder 57 attached and can this by appropriate control Cylinder 57 can be pulled up or pushed down as required. The printing cylinder 57 is attached to the vertical beam 58. This bar 58 is at the top Crossbar 38 adjustably attached and can-be 'both forwards and backwards as well as move sideways on the crossbar 38. In this way it is possible as indicated in FIG. 4, the pressure cylinders 57 of the three uprights 35 so against one another shifted to arrange that the attachment of a curved upper welding tool 51 to 54 is possible, in which case of course also the lower part of the welding tool 46 to 49 on the support table 44 correspondingly offset to the center line of this support table 44 must be arranged. In any case, this construction enables the crossbeam 38 the stand 35 allows the attachment of both straight and curved heating rails 53, as is the case, for example, for the welding of non-rectilinear Edge areas of plastic sheets is desirable.
Beim Betrieb der Einrichtung gemäss Fig.3 und 4 zum Verschweis= sen der Ränder grossflächiger Kunststoffbähnen nach dem vorliegenden Verfahren ist es notwendig, die einander zugekehrten Oberflächen der Heizschienen 48 bzw.53 mit je einer Trennlage abzudecken. Zu diesem Zwecke ist beispielsweise, wie in Fig.4 angedeutet, die untere Trennlage 60 auf einer am Auflagetisch 44 angebrachten drehbaren Walze 61 aufgewickelt und wird vor Beginn des Schweissprozesses in Richtung des Pfeiles 62 über di#e untere Heizschiene 48 hinweggezogen und auf der drehbaren Walze 63 am anderen Ende des Auflagetisches 44 aufgewickelt.When operating the device according to FIGS. 3 and 4 for welding = sen it is the edges of large-area plastic strips according to the present method necessary, the facing surfaces of the heating rails 48 and 53 with each to cover with a separating layer. For this purpose, for example, as indicated in Figure 4, the lower separating layer 60 on a rotatable roller attached to the support table 44 61 and is wound in the direction of the arrow before the start of the welding process 62 pulled over the lower heating rail 48 and on the rotatable roller 63 wound at the other end of the support table 44.
Dann wird von einer Vorratsrolle 64 die Kunststoffbahn in Pfeilrichtung 65 abgezogen, in den Spalt zwischen der bereits abgedeckten unteren Heizschiene 48 und der noch nicht abgedeckten oberen Heizschiene 53 hineingesteckt und dort in geeigneter Weise festgehalten. Von Aussen her wird dann die zweite Kunststoffbahn so auf den Randbereich der erstgenannten Kunststoffbahn aufgelegt, dass sich die beidseitigen Randbereiche überlappen, etwa in der in Fig.1 dargestellten Weise. Nunmehr wird die obere Trennlage auf den sich überlappenden Randbereich aufgelegt, wozu in ähnlicher Weise wie für die untere Trennlage &0 bereits beschriebenXan beiden Enden des Auflagetisches 44 je eine-weitere drehbare Rolle'vorgesehen sein kann, Erst dann wird die Heizschiene 53 des oberen Schweisswerkzeuges durch Betätigung der Druckzyllnder 57 abgesenkt und mit dem vorgesehenen'Druck auf den zu verschweissenden überlappten Rand aufgesetzt. Durch entsprechende Einstellung des Drucks in den Druckzylindern 57 kann der Anpressdruck der beiden Heizschienen 48, 53 auf die zu verschweissenden überlappten Randbereiche der beiden Kunststoffbahnen bestimmt werden.Then the plastic web is from a supply roll 64 in the direction of the arrow 65 withdrawn, into the gap between the already covered lower heating rail 48 and the one not yet covered upper heating rail 53 inserted and recorded there in a suitable manner. The second plastic sheet is then from the outside so placed on the edge area of the first-mentioned plastic sheet that the overlap edge areas on both sides, for example in the manner shown in FIG. Now the upper separating layer is placed on the overlapping edge area, for which in a manner similar to that already described for the lower separating layer & 0 Xan two ends of the support table 44 each have an additional rotatable roller Only then is the heating bar 53 of the upper welding tool activated the pressure cylinder 57 is lowered and with the intended pressure on the to be welded placed on the overlapped edge. By setting the pressure in the pressure cylinders accordingly 57, the contact pressure of the two heating rails 48, 53 on the one to be welded overlapped edge areas of the two plastic sheets are determined.
Bei der beschriebenen Einrichtung sind die elektrisch# beheizten Schienen 48 bzw. 53 über geeignete, thermisch isolierenden. Halterungen 47 bzw. 52 an den Hohlbalken 46 bzw. 51 befestigt.In the setup described, the rails are electrically heated 48 or 53 via suitable, thermally insulating. Brackets 47 and 52 to the Hollow beams 46 and 51 attached.
Diese Hohlbalken 46, 51 sind beidseits mit Oeffnungen 50, bzw. 55 versehen, sodass durch die Hohlbalken 46, 51 etwa beim Schweissvorgang entstehende Dämpfe oder Gase abgesaugt werden können.These hollow beams 46, 51 have openings 50 and 55, respectively, on both sides provided, so that resulting from the hollow beams 46, 51 during the welding process Vapors or gases can be extracted.
Durch diesen Absaugvorgang erfolgt gleichzeitig eine Kühlung der Hohlbalken 46, 51,was zu-r Vermeidung von unerwünschten thermisuchen Verwerfungen vorteilhaft ist. Wie oben bereits ausgeführ#t#, ist beim vorliegenden Verfahren durch die Anwendung der sogenannten Trennlagen die Verwendung höherer Temperaturen für die Thermoschweissung von Kunststoffbahnen zulässig, wobei jedoch gewährleistet werden muss, dass keine durch Materialausdehnungen bewirkte Verbiegungen der Heizschienen 48 und 53 entstehen.This suction process also cools the hollow beams 46, 51, which is advantageous in avoiding undesirable thermal distortions is. As already stated above, in the present method through the application the so-called separating layers the use of higher temperatures for thermal welding permissible for plastic sheeting, but it must be ensured that none Bending of the heating rails 48 and 53 caused by material expansion occurs.
Um dies zu erreichen, können die Heizschienen 48 bzw. 53 auch aus Schichten von Metallen mit unterschiedlichem Ausdehnungskoeffizienten bestehen derart, dass bei der vorgesehenen Betriebstemperatur sich die thermisch verursachten Ausdehnungen weitgehend kompensieren. Natürlich besteht auch die Möglichkeit, wie in Fig.4 angedeutet, durch zusätzliche Druckzylinder 57', die am Längsbalken 42 zwischen den drei Ständern 35 angeordnet sind, ein eventuelles Verbiegen der Heizschienen bzw. des ganzen Schweisswerkzeuges zu verhindern.In order to achieve this, the heating rails 48 and 53 can also be made from Layers of metals with different expansion coefficients exist in such a way that that at the intended operating temperature, the thermally caused expansions largely compensate. Of course there is also the possibility how indicated in FIG. 4 by additional pressure cylinders 57 'which are attached to the longitudinal beam 42 are arranged between the three uprights 35, a possible bending of the heating rails or the entire welding tool.
Es sei noch darauf hingewiesen, dass der Auflagetisch 44 nicht nur zur Befestigung des unteren Teils des Schweisswerkzeuges dient. Er. ist auch vorteilhaft um zusätzliche Vorrichtungen anzubringen, beispielsweise Abstandsstücke zur Begrenzung des maximalen Vorschubs der Kolbenstangen 56 und damit des oberen Teils des Schweisswerkzeuges relativ zu dessen unterem Teil, was bei der Verschweissung von doppelwandigen Kunststoffbahnen nach dem anhand von Fig.2 beschriebenen Verfahren erforderlich ist. Auch eventuell erwünschte Klemmvorrichtungen für die zu verschweissenden Kunststoffbahnen können auf dem Auflagetisch 44 angeordnet sein.It should be noted that the support table 44 is not only is used to attach the lower part of the welding tool. He. is also beneficial to attach additional devices, such as spacers to limit the maximum advance of the piston rods 56 and thus of the upper part of the welding tool relative to its lower part, which occurs when welding double-walled plastic sheets according to the method described with reference to Figure 2 is required. Also possibly desired clamping devices for the plastic webs to be welded can be arranged on the support table 44.
