Vorrichtungen zur Herstellung von Isolierglas werden aus räumlichen Gründen oft in zwei einander gegenüberliegende Abschnitte unterteilt. Vorrichtungen der eingangs genannten Gattung werden eingesetzt, um Abstandhalterrahmen von einem Abschnitt einer solchen Vorrichtung zum gegenüberliegenden Abschnitt zu transportieren.Devices for the production of insulating glass are often divided into two opposite sections for spatial reasons. Devices of the type mentioned at the outset are used to transport spacer frames from one section of such a device to the opposite section.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Vorrichtung der eingangs genannten Gattung die Übergabe der Abstandhalterrahmen auf den Hängeförderer und die Abnahme der Abstandhalterrahmen von diesem zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the transfer of the spacer frame to the overhead conveyor and the removal of the spacer frame from a device of the type mentioned.

Gemäß der Erfindung wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß eine Einrichtung zum Übergeben von Abstandhalterrahmen an den Hängeförderer vorgesehen ist, die wenigstens zwei in der seitlichen Abstützung diese nach vorne überragend, nach oben anhebbare Mitnehmer zum Heben der Abstandhalterrahmen entlang der seitlichen Abstützung bis in die Höhe des Hängeförderers und einen quer zur seitlichen Abstützung hin- und herbeweglichen Schieber aufweist, der in einer seiner Endlagen einen an den Mitnehmern hängenden Abstandhalterrahmen erfaßt und in seiner anderen Endlage einem Hakenpaar des Hängeförderers zugeordnet ist, und daß an der Abgabeseite des Hängeförderers in der seitlichen Abstützung des zweiten Linearförderers über die Abstützung vorstehende Mitnehmer zum Absenken eines Abstandhalterrahmens bis zum zweiten Linearförderer verschiebbar sind und daß sich nach jedem Hub des Hängeförderers ein Hakenpaar desselben hinter der seitlichen Abstützung befindet.According to the invention, this is achieved in that a device for transferring spacer frames to the overhead conveyor is provided, the at least two in the lateral support this projecting forward, upwardly liftable driver for lifting the spacer frames along the lateral support up to the height of Hanging conveyor and a transverse to the lateral support slide, which in one of its end positions detects a hanging on the carriers spacer frame and is assigned to a pair of hooks of the overhead conveyor in its other end position, and that on the delivery side of the overhead conveyor in the lateral support of the second linear conveyor over the support protruding driver for lowering a spacer frame to the second linear conveyor and that after each stroke of the overhead conveyor there is a pair of hooks behind the side support.

Eine in Fig. 1 gezeigte Vorrichtung umfaßt einen Linearförderer 17 mit einer Stützwand 11, eine Schweißvorrichtung 8 und eine Einrichtung 1 zum Verschwenken der Abstandhalterrahmen um 90°. Im Anschluß an diese sind zwei Füllstationen 2 und 3 vorgesehen, in welchen die Abstandhalterrahmen mit hygroskopischem Material gefüllt werden, und nach der zweiten Füllstation 3 ist ein Abschnitt 4 des Linearförderers 17 vorgesehen, in dem die Abstandhalterrahmen linear zu einer Einrichtung 5 gefördert werden, in der sie auf einen horizontalen Hängeförderer 6 umgesetzt werden. Der Hängeförderer 6 transportiert die Abstandhalterrahmen zu einer Vorrichtung 7, in der die Abstandhalter vom Hängeförderer 6 abgenommen werden.A device shown in Fig. 1 comprises a linear conveyor 17 with a support wall 11, a welding device 8 and a device 1 for pivoting the spacer frame by 90 ° . Following this, two filling stations 2 and 3 are provided, in which the spacer frames are filled with hygroscopic material, and after the second filling station 3, a section 4 of the linear conveyor 17 is provided, in which the spacer frames are conveyed linearly to a device 5 in which they are implemented on a horizontal overhead conveyor 6. The overhead conveyor 6 transports the spacer frames to a device 7 in which the spacers are removed from the overhead conveyor 6.

Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Schweißvorrichtung 8, in der die freien Enden von beispielsweise in einer aus der DE-C 3 223 881 bekannten Biegevorrichtung zu einem Abstandhalterrahmen gebogenen Hohlprofilleisten miteinander stumpf verschweißt werden, ist beispielsweise aus der EP-A 192 921 bekannt.The welding device 8 shown in FIG. 1, in which the free ends of, for example in a bending device known from DE-C 3 223 881, butt-welded to form a spacer frame, are butt-welded to one another is known, for example, from EP-A 192 921.

Die Wendestation 1 umfaßt einen Wendegreifer, der an zwei zueinander senkrecht stehenden Armen je ein Klemmenpaar 9 und 10 aufweist. Die Klemmenpaare 9 und 10 des Wendegreifers erfassen zwei zueinander senkrecht stehende Schenkel des Abstandhalters, und halten diesen während der Schwenkbewegung des Wendegreifers fest. Die Klemmbacken sind aus einer Bereitschaftslage, in der sie sich parallel zur als seitliche Abstützung dienenden Gleitwand 11 erstrecken und hinter dieser angeordnet sind, in eine Wirklage verschwenkbar, in der sie von beiden Seiten an den zu erfassenden Rahmenschenkeln des Abstandhalters anliegen und durch einen in der Stützwand 11 vorgesehenen kreisbogenförmigen Schlitz 12 nach vorne ragen. Ein derartiger Wendegreifer ist im Prinzip aus der AT-B 356 832 bekannt. Das Wenden der Abstandhalterrahmen um 90° hat den Zweck, die Abstandhalterrahmen, die in der Schweißstation 8 (von der vorgeschalteten Biegevorrichtung) so ausgerichtet sind, daß ihre längeren Schenkel horizontal ausgerichtet sind, so auf den Linearförderer 17 zu stellen, daß die längeren Schenkel vertikal verlaufen.The turning station 1 comprises a turning gripper which has a pair of clamps 9 and 10 on two mutually perpendicular arms. The pairs of clamps 9 and 10 of the reversible gripper grasp two mutually perpendicular legs of the spacer and hold it firmly during the pivoting movement of the reversible gripper. The clamping jaws can be pivoted from a standby position, in which they extend parallel to the sliding wall 11 serving as lateral support and are arranged behind this, into an active position in which they rest on both sides of the frame legs of the spacer to be detected and by one in the Support wall 11 provided circular arc-shaped slot 12 protrude forward. Such a reversible gripper is known in principle from AT-B 356 832. The purpose of turning the spacer frames by 90 ° is to place the spacer frames, which are aligned in the welding station 8 (from the upstream bending device) so that their longer legs are horizontally aligned, on the linear conveyor 17 so that the longer legs are vertical run.

Jede der beiden Füllstationen 2 und 3 umfaßt zwei Füllköpfe 13 und 14, welche die aus der AT-B 383 582 bekannte Bauform haben können.Each of the two filling stations 2 and 3 comprises two filling heads 13 and 14, which can have the design known from AT-B 383 582.

Wie durch Pfeile in Fig. 1 angedeutet, sind die Füllköpfe 13 und 14 der Füllstationen 2 und 3 entlang des oberen Randes der Gleitwand 11 verschiebbar, damit sie den vertikalen Schenkeln der zu füllenden Abstandhalterrahmen gegenüberliegend ausgerichtet werden können.As indicated by arrows in Fig. 1, the filling heads 13 and 14 of the filling stations 2 and 3 are displaceable along the upper edge of the sliding wall 11 so that they can be aligned opposite the vertical legs of the spacer frames to be filled.

An den Füllköpfen 13 der Füllstationen 2 und 3 sind im Abstand vor der Vorderseite der Stützwand 11 nach unten weisende Führungen 15 für den oberen Abschnitt des zu füllenden Abstandhalterrahmens vorgesehen.On the filling heads 13 of the filling stations 2 and 3, guides 15 for the upper section of the spacer frame to be filled are provided at a distance from the front of the support wall 11.

Zum Anheben der Abstandhalterrahmen sind die unterhalb der Füllstationen 2 und 3 vorgesehenen Abschnitte des Linearförderers 17 als anhebbare Förderbahnteile 18 ausgebildet.To raise the spacer frames, the sections of the linear conveyor 17 provided below the filling stations 2 and 3 are designed as liftable conveyor track parts 18.

Die Förderbahnteile 18 sind als Endlosbandförderer ausgebildet, und zusammen mit ihrem Antriebsmotor 19 durch nicht näher gezeigte Mittel anhebbar. Um die Abstandhalterrahmen während des Hebevorganges an den Förderbahnteilen 18 zu halten, sind diesen noch Klemmen 20 zugeordnet, die den unteren horizontalen Schenkel der Abstandhalterrahmen gegen die Förderbahnteile 18 drücken. Die Klemmen 20 sind während des An- und Abtransportes der Abstandhalterrahmen hinter die Gleitwand 11 hochschwenkbar.The conveyor track parts 18 are designed as an endless belt conveyor and, together with their drive motor 19, are raised by means not shown in detail bar. In order to hold the spacer frames on the conveyor track parts 18 during the lifting process, clamps 20 are also assigned to them, which press the lower horizontal leg of the spacer frames against the conveyor track parts 18. The clamps 20 can be swiveled up behind the sliding wall 11 during the transport of the spacer frames.

Die Einrichtung 5 zum Übergeben von gefüllten Abstandhalterrahmen an den Hängeförderer 6 umfaßt zwei Hebenocken 21, die in Schlitzen 22 der Gleitwand 11 anhebbar sind. Dabei sind die Hebenocken 21 so geführt, daß sie in ihrer unteren Bereitschaftsstellung unterhalb und/oder hinter der Stützwand 11 angeordnet sind, so daß sie den Antransport von Abstandhalterrahmen nicht stören.The device 5 for transferring filled spacer frames to the overhead conveyor 6 comprises two lifting cams 21 which can be raised in slots 22 of the sliding wall 11. The lifting cams 21 are guided so that they are arranged in their lower ready position below and / or behind the support wall 11 so that they do not interfere with the transport of spacer frames.

In der Einrichtung 5 ist weiters ein Schieber 23 vorgesehen, der zwischen den Schlitzen 22 angeordnet ist und in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 24 vor-und zurückgeschoben werden kann. Der Schieber 23 ist im wesentlichen hakenförmig ausgebildet und übernimmt mit seiner horizontalen Auflage 25 einen von den Hebenocken 21 angehobenen Abstandhalterrahmen, um diesen auf ein Paar Haken 26 des Hängeförderers 6 zu schieben. Um das Einsetzen der Abstandhalterrahmen in die Haken 26 des Hängeförderers 6 zu vereinfachen, sind diese mit einer Schräge 27 ausgestattet. Nachdem die Abstandhalterrahmen vom Schieber 23 übergeben worden sind, hängen die Abstandhalterrahmen in einer Vertiefung 28 der Haken 26. Sobald ein Abstandhalterrahmen in ein Paar Haken 26 des Hängeförderers 6 eingehängt worden ist, bewegt sich dieser in Richtung des Pfeiles 29 um einen Schritt weiter, und der Schieber 23 bewegt sich zurück, so daß das nächste Paar Haken 26 zur Übernahme des nächsten Abstandhalterrahmens vom Schieber 23 bereit ist.A device 23 is also provided in the device 5, which is arranged between the slots 22 and can be pushed back and forth in the direction of the double arrow 24. The slider 23 is essentially hook-shaped and with its horizontal support 25 takes over a spacer frame raised by the lifting cams 21 in order to push it onto a pair of hooks 26 of the overhead conveyor 6. In order to simplify the insertion of the spacer frames into the hooks 26 of the overhead conveyor 6, they are equipped with a bevel 27. After the spacer frames have been transferred from the slider 23, the spacer frames hang in a recess 28 of the hooks 26. As soon as a spacer frame has been hooked into a pair of hooks 26 of the overhead conveyor 6, it moves one step further in the direction of arrow 29, and the slider 23 moves back so that the next pair of hooks 26 is ready to take the next spacer frame from the slider 23.

Es ist noch anzumerken, daß die Haken 26 in Fig. 2 überproportional groß dargestellt sind, um deren Aufbau besser darzustellen.It should also be noted that the hooks 26 are shown disproportionately large in FIG. 2 in order to better illustrate their structure.

Die Haken 26 sind bevorzugt so ausgebildet, daß sie den oberen, horizontalen, in den Haken 26 angeordneten Schenkel der Abstandhalterrahmen mit einem horizontalen und geraden Abschnitt federnd klemmen (vgl. Fig. 3), so daß Pendelbewegungen der Abstandhalterrahmen gedämpft bzw. unterdrückt werden.The hooks 26 are preferably designed such that they clamp the upper, horizontal leg of the spacer frame arranged in the hook 26 with a horizontal and straight section (see FIG. 3), so that pendulum movements of the spacer frame are damped or suppressed.

An der Abgabeseite des Hängeförderers 6 ist ebenfalls eine Stützwand 30 vorgesehen, an deren unterem Ende ein Linearförderer 31 angeordnet ist. Die Länge eines Schrittes (Hubes) des Hängeförderers 6 ist so bemessen, daß sich jeweils ein Hakenpaar 26 nach Ausführung des Schrittes hinter der Stützwand 30 befindet, so daß ein Abstandhalterrahmen von einem Hakenpaar 26 abgezogen werden und mit seinem oberen horizontalen Schenkel auf einem Paar Hebenocken 32 aufliegt. Nachdem dies geschehen ist, werden die Hebenocken 36 nach unten bewegt, bis sie z.B. wie durch den gebogenen Pfeil, in Fig. 2 angedeutet, unter und/oder hinter die Stützwand 30 bewegt worden sind. Der Abstandhalterrahmen steht nun an der Stützwand 30 lehnend auf dem Linearförderer 31 auf und kann der weiteren Bearbeitung z.B. der Beschichtung mit Dicht- bzw. Klebemittel zugeführt werden.A support wall 30 is also provided on the discharge side of the overhead conveyor 6, at the lower end of which a linear conveyor 31 is arranged. The length of a step (stroke) of the overhead conveyor 6 is such that there is a pair of hooks 26 after the step is carried out behind the support wall 30, so that a spacer frame is pulled off a pair of hooks 26 and with its upper horizontal leg on a pair of lifting cams 32 rests. After this has been done, the lifting cams 36 are moved down until e.g. as indicated by the curved arrow, indicated in FIG. 2, under and / or behind the support wall 30. The spacer frame now leans against the support wall 30 on the linear conveyor 31 and can be further processed e.g. the coating with sealant or adhesive can be supplied.
