Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for filling the edge joints of insulating glass, in which sealing compound is introduced into the edge joint from at least one filling nozzle which is moved along the edge joint.
- the amount of the sealing compound conveyed to the filling nozzle is adapted to the amount of sealing compound required in each case by valves and / or by regulating the conveying means (gear pumps, extruders, conveying cylinders which are acted upon by hydraulic medium).
- the conveying means gear pumps, extruders, conveying cylinders which are acted upon by hydraulic medium.
- This is difficult because of the inertia of the devices, since changes cannot be made in a short time.
- increases in the delivery rate are only effective with a delay and vice versa, with a reduction in the delivery rate, too much sealing compound escapes from the filling nozzle for some time.
- the small changes can also not be adjusted quickly and accurately with the help of proportional valves.
- DE-OS 2 907 210 describes a sealing method in which the supply of sealing compound is always restricted at the same time as the movement of the insulating glass pane is slowed down.
- the flow of the sealing compound through the filling nozzle and the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the insulating glass pane are to be continuously increased proportionally to one another at the beginning of the movement and continuously reduced at the end of the movement.
- problems of this control are mentioned, namely the requirement of "delayed" control of the pump drive.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, in which the amount of sealing compound introduced into the edge joint can be adjusted to the required amount simply, precisely and without time delays.
- the invention solves these problems by adjusting the amount of sealing compound that is introduced into the edge joint from the filling nozzle by changing the speed at which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint to the amount required to fill the edge joint.
- the average amount of sealing compound required is set by appropriate adjustment of the conveying means (e.g. gear pump, cylinder pump) and the valves and is kept essentially constant during the entire sealing process.
- the width and (average) depth of the edge joint are determined for this purpose.
- the filling nozzle is moved by moving the insulating glass and / or the nozzle holder along the sections of the edge joint. Since the width of the edge joint does not change, the depth of the edge joint is determined as a measure of its cross-section and thus of the required amount of sealing compound with the aid of a mechanical or non-contact feeler.
- the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the edge joint and thus the amount of sealing compound introduced per unit length of the edge joint is correspondingly increased or decreased.
- This change in the relative speed ie the speed at which the filling nozzle moves along the Edge joint moves, can be carried out quickly and without delay even on a larger scale. It is preferred according to the invention if the speed at which the filling nozzle and / or the speed at which the insulating glass pane is moved is changed.
- the method according to the invention permits problem-free sealing even in the corner area and the sealing of non-rectangular insulating glass panes.
- the procedure is such that the amount of sealing compound conveyed to the filling nozzle per unit of time is recorded, and that the speed at which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint is reduced with a reduced delivery rate and increased with an increased delivery rate.
- This variant of the method according to the invention makes it possible to compensate for changes in the conveying capacity of the conveying means for the sealing compound, which can arise, for example, from a change in the temperature of the sealing compound to be conveyed to the filling nozzle (warmer sealing compound can be conveyed more easily than colder sealing compound). It is therefore not necessary to keep the delivery rate of sealing compound exactly constant.
- a change in the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the insulating glass pane made according to the method variant of claim 4 is therefore one Change due to changed delivery performance according to claim 1 made changes in the relative speed, which are changes due to different depths of the edge joint are superimposed.
- the case may occur that a reduction in the relative speed made in claim 1 in a region in which the edge joint is deeper is partially or completely canceled by increasing the relative speed in accordance with claim 4 when the conveying capacity of sealing compound increases.
- the actual change in the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the edge joint then corresponds to the sum of the changes in the relative speed made according to claim 1 and the changes made according to claim 4.
- the invention further relates to a method for filling the edge joints of insulating glass panes with an arbitrarily designed outline shape with sealing compound, in which the geometric data of the outline shape or of parts of the outline shape of the insulating glass panes are available in stored form.
- EP-A-252 066 From EP-A-252 066 it is known to control a sealing station on the basis of stored data of the insulating glass panes. Specifically disclosed in EP-A-252 066 is the control of the movements of the filling nozzle (s) and the insulating glass pane, as well as the amount of filling material supplied by data carriers attached to the insulating glass. The capacity of these data carriers is limited, however, so that they only require a limited number of them may contain data. The idea of changing the speed at which filling nozzles are moved along the edge joint of insulating glass panes is not disclosed in EP-A-252 066.
- the present invention is based on the further object of making it possible to automatically fill the edge joints of insulating glass panes with any shape of outline.
- this is achieved in that, based on this geometry data, the movement of the at least one filling nozzle and / or the insulating glass pane is controlled and in that the filling nozzle is pivoted about an axis of rotation normal to the insulating glass pane such that the filling nozzle is always turned towards the contour edge of the insulating glass pane.
- This method can be combined with particular advantage with the method according to one of Claims 1 to 4. It is then not only possible to seal insulating glass panes with any outline shape, but also to ensure that the edge joint is always filled to the brim with sealing compound.
- the procedure according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention is such that the speed of the movement of the insulating glass pane is changed in the horizontal direction and that the speed of the movement of the filling nozzle is normal to the direction of movement the insulating glass pane is changed.
- the filling nozzle is preferably rotated about a rotation axis normal to the insulating glass plane by means of a stepper motor. As a result, the desired angle of attack of the filling nozzle with respect to the contour edge is always maintained when the sealing member moves along the latter.
- the movement of the sealing member and / or the insulating glass pane is controlled by a process computer on the basis of the stored geometry data.
- control takes place on the basis of the geometry data used by the process computer of a glass cutting table, since in this case already existing data can continue to be used.
- a measuring head for example a light probe head, to traverse the outer contour of the insulating glass pane and to pass the measured data, based on an axis cross, to a process computer, where they are stored.
- contours that are not precisely defined mathematically or geometrically can also be recorded and used for the control.
- the procedure can be such that the speed at which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint of the insulating glass pane is higher in the region of straight and / or slightly curved edge joint sections than in the region of corners and / or greater curvatures Edge joint, the amount of sealing compound conveyed to the filling nozzle per unit of time at a higher relative speed between the filling nozzle and the insulation glass pane is larger than at a lower relative speed.
- This variant of the method according to the invention takes advantage of the knowledge that straight and only slightly curved sections of the edge joint with a higher relative speed between the filling nozzle and insulating glass pane can be sealed more quickly than corners or sections of the edge joint with a small radius of curvature.
- This variant of the method according to the invention can also be combined with the method according to one of the claims 1 to 4. The changes according to claims 1 to 4 are then based on higher or smaller absolute delivery rates or relative speeds.
- An insulating glass pane 1 with an arcuate contour 2 in a portion of its circumference is moved in the direction of the double arrow 3 on a horizontal conveyor 21, which can be constructed as described in DE-OS 30 38 425, at variable speed.
- the speed of the insulating glass pane 1 is lower when the filling nozzle 4 is at the point 5 of the contour of the insulating glass pane 1 than when the filling nozzle 4 is at the point 6 of the contour contour 2.
- the speed of the filling nozzle 4 changes in the direction of the double arrow 7, i.e. normal to the direction of movement of the insulating glass pane 1, the speed of the filling nozzle 4 decreasing when moving from point 5 to point 6 of the contour 2.
- the filling nozzle 4 is rotated about an axis 8 which is normal to the plane of the insulating glass pane 1 in the direction of the double arrow 9.
- This rotating movement of the filling nozzle 4, which is brought about by a motor 11, preferably a stepping motor or a hydraulic motor, causes the Always maintain correct alignment of the nozzle opening 10 of the filling nozzle 4 with respect to the contour 2 of the insulating glass pane 1.
- the movements of the insulating glass pane 1 and the sealing element 4 and the amount of sealing compound 12 introduced into the edge joint from the filling nozzle 4 in the time unit are controlled on the basis of the geometric data of the insulating glass pane 1 stored in the process computer 13
- FIG. 3 schematically shows the data flow of the geometric data of the insulating glass pane from the process computer 14, which controls a glass cutting table 15, to the process computer 13 of the sealing system.
- Fig. 4 shows schematically a measuring table 16 with an insulating glass pane 1, the outer contour of which is scanned by a light probe 17, the measurement data obtained being passed on to a process computer 19 and from there to the process computer 13 of the sealing system.
- FIG. 5 shows an embodiment variant in which the geometric data of an insulating glass pane are entered manually into a computer 20 and are transmitted from there to the process computer 13 of the sealing system.
- the design of the system for carrying out the method according to the invention is not limited to a single filling nozzle 4, but two or more filling nozzles 4 can operate simultaneously at different points in the outline shape of the insulating glass pane 1, or a simultaneous filling of the edge joints of multi-pane insulating glass is also possible Filling nozzles arranged next to each other are possible if multiple nozzles are not used.
- insulating glass panes are sealed, which have at least one straight edge.
- insulating glass panes are to be sealed without straight edges, the movement of the insulating glass panes can be prevented by e.g. conveyor devices equipped with suction heads.
- sealing systems with several sealing elements can be used to carry out the method according to the invention
- systems with one sealing element are generally preferred.
- the reason for this is that the relative speed between the lower, horizontal (straight) edge of the insulating glass pane and the filling nozzle changes when the second filling nozzle is moved along the section of the edge joint which projects upwards from the horizontal conveyor.
- outline shapes can occur in which the direction of movement of the movement of the insulating glass pane has to be reversed, which requires considerable control effort would mean for the regulation of the amount of the sealing compound to be applied from the filling nozzle which is assigned to the lower edge of the insulating glass pane.
- sealing system a system for filling the edge joint of an insulating glass pane 1
- conveyor system which is illustrated only by a horizontal conveyor formed by conveyor rollers 21, a filling nozzle 4 and a reservoir 18 for sealing compound
- the sealing compound which is contained in the reservoir 18 and is loaded by a piston 22, is conveyed to the filling nozzle 4 by pumps, not shown, via a flexible line 23.
- a sensor 24 detects the depth of the edge joint of the insulating glass pane 1 to be filled.
- a further sensor 25 detects the movements of the piston 22 and thus the respective delivery rate of sealing compound to the filling nozzle 4. The data detected by the sensors 24 and 25 are sent to the process computer 13 of the sealing installation fed.
- the process computer 13 issues control commands to the horizontal conveyor 21 for the movements of the insulating glass pane 1 in the direction of the double arrow 3 and to the drive for moving the filling nozzle 4 in the direction of the double arrow 7. Furthermore, the process computer 13 controls the delivery rate of sealing compound to the filling nozzle 4 through the line 23.
- the amount of sealing compound introduced into the edge joint per unit length of the same is regulated so that the edge joint with sealing compound is always up to to the desired size - usually filled to the brim.
- the delivery rate of sealing compound from the reservoir 18 to the filling nozzle 4 can be increased in the area of straight edge joints (e.g. section 6 in Fig. 1) and reduced in the area of curved edge joints (e.g. section 5 in Fig. 1). Even when the delivery capacity is changed intentionally, as described, the method according to the invention described above ensures that the edge joints of insulating glass are always correctly filled, even if their depth changes.
- the sealing method according to the invention can be carried out both in the case of horizontally lying and also substantially vertically standing insulating glass panes, the latter variant being preferred.
- the sensor 25 of the arrangement shown in FIG. 6 can also be assigned to the metering cylinder usually assigned to the filling nozzle 4 and not shown in FIG. 6.
- the delivery rate of sealing compound to the filling nozzle 4 is detected by the sensor 25 by detecting the movements of the metering piston in the metering cylinder in the immediate vicinity of the filling nozzle 4.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Füllen der Randfugen von Isolierglas, bei dem Versiegelungsmasse aus wenigstens einer Fülldüse, die entlang der Randfuge bewegt wird, in die Randfuge eingebracht wird.The invention relates to a method for filling the edge joints of insulating glass, in which sealing compound is introduced into the edge joint from at least one filling nozzle which is moved along the edge joint.
Bei den bekannten Versiegelungsvorrichtungen wird die Menge der zur Fülldüse geförderten Versiegelungsmasse der jeweils benötigten Menge an Versiegelungsmasse durch Ventile und/oder durch Regelung der Fördermittel (Zahnradpumpen, Extruder, Förderzylinder, die mit Hydraulikmedium beaufschlagt werden) angepaßt. Dies ist wegen der Trägheit der Vorrichtungen schwierig, da Änderungen nicht in kurzer Zeit ausgeführt werden können. Hinzu kommt, daß wegen der Elastizität der Leitungen zwischen dem Fördermittel (Pumpe) und der Fülldüse Erhöhungen der Fördermenge nur verzögert wirksam werden und umgekehrt, bei einer Verringerung der Fördermenge noch einige Zeit lang zu viel Versiegelungsmasse aus der Fülldüse austritt. Auch lassen sich die geringen Änderungen mit Hilfe von Proportionalventilen nicht genau und rasch einstellen.In the known sealing devices, the amount of the sealing compound conveyed to the filling nozzle is adapted to the amount of sealing compound required in each case by valves and / or by regulating the conveying means (gear pumps, extruders, conveying cylinders which are acted upon by hydraulic medium). This is difficult because of the inertia of the devices, since changes cannot be made in a short time. In addition, because of the elasticity of the lines between the conveying means (pump) and the filling nozzle, increases in the delivery rate are only effective with a delay and vice versa, with a reduction in the delivery rate, too much sealing compound escapes from the filling nozzle for some time. The small changes can also not be adjusted quickly and accurately with the help of proportional valves.
In der DE-OS 2 907 210 ist ein Versiegelungsverfahren beschrieben, bei dem die Drosselung der Zufuhr von Versiegelungsmasse stets gleichzeitig mit einer Verlangsamung der Bewegung der Isolierglasscheibe erfolgt. Bei der DE-OS 2 907 210 sollen der Durchfluß der Versiegelungsmasse durch die Fülldüse und die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen der Fülldüse und der Isolierglasscheibe einander proportional am Anfang der Bewegung kontinuierlich erhöht und am Ende der Bewegung kontinuierlich herabgesetzt werden. In der DE-OS 2 907 210 sind auch Probleme dieser Steuerung, nämlich das Erfordernis der "verzögerten" Ansteuerung des Pumpenantriebes erwähnt.DE-OS 2 907 210 describes a sealing method in which the supply of sealing compound is always restricted at the same time as the movement of the insulating glass pane is slowed down. In DE-OS 2 907 210, the flow of the sealing compound through the filling nozzle and the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the insulating glass pane are to be continuously increased proportionally to one another at the beginning of the movement and continuously reduced at the end of the movement. In DE-OS 2 907 210 problems of this control are mentioned, namely the requirement of "delayed" control of the pump drive.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren der eingangs genannten Gattung anzugeben, bei dem die in die Randfuge eingebrachte Menge an Versiegelungsmasse einfach, genau und ohne zeitliche Verzögerungen auf die jeweils benötigte Menge eingestellt werden kann.The invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned, in which the amount of sealing compound introduced into the edge joint can be adjusted to the required amount simply, precisely and without time delays.
Die Erfindung löst diese Probleme dadurch, daß die Menge an Versiegelungsmasse, die aus der Fülldüse in die Randfuge eingebracht wird, durch Ändern der Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Fülldüse entlang der Randfuge bewegt wird, auf die zum Füllen der Randfuge jeweils benötigte Menge eingestellt wird.The invention solves these problems by adjusting the amount of sealing compound that is introduced into the edge joint from the filling nozzle by changing the speed at which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint to the amount required to fill the edge joint.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird die durchschnittlich benötigte Menge an Versiegelungsmasse durch entsprechende Einstellung des Fördermittels (z.B. Zahnradpumpe, Zylinderpumpe) und der Ventile eingestellt und während des gesamten Versiegelungsvorganges im wesentlichen konstant gehalten. Hiezu wird die Breite und (mittlere) Tiefe der Randfuge bestimmt. Während des Versiegelns wird die Fülldüse durch Bewegen des Isolierglases und/oder der Düsenhalterung entlang der Abschnitte der Randfuge bewegt. Da sich die Breite der Randfuge nicht ändert, wird mit Hilfe einer mechanischen oder berührungslosen Tastvorrichtung (Fühler) die Tiefe der Randfuge als Maß für deren Querschnitt und damit für die benötigte Menge an Versiegelungsmasse bestimmt.In the method according to the invention, the average amount of sealing compound required is set by appropriate adjustment of the conveying means (e.g. gear pump, cylinder pump) and the valves and is kept essentially constant during the entire sealing process. The width and (average) depth of the edge joint are determined for this purpose. During the sealing, the filling nozzle is moved by moving the insulating glass and / or the nozzle holder along the sections of the edge joint. Since the width of the edge joint does not change, the depth of the edge joint is determined as a measure of its cross-section and thus of the required amount of sealing compound with the aid of a mechanical or non-contact feeler.
Wenn mit Hilfe der Tastvorrichtung eine Änderung der Tiefe der Randfuge festgestellt wird, wird die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen Fülldüse und Randfuge und damit die je Längeneinheit der Randfuge in diese eingebrachte Menge an Versiegelungsmasse entsprechend vergrößert bzw. verkleinert.If a change in the depth of the edge joint is determined with the aid of the feeler device, the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the edge joint and thus the amount of sealing compound introduced per unit length of the edge joint is correspondingly increased or decreased.
Diese Änderung der Relativgeschwindigkeit, d.h. die Geschwindigkeit, mit der sich die Fülldüse entlang der Randfuge bewegt, kann rasch und ohne Verzögerungen auch in größerem Ausmaß ausgeführt werden. Dabei ist erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt, wenn die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Fülldüse und/oder die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Isolierglasscheibe bewegt wird, geändert wird.This change in the relative speed, ie the speed at which the filling nozzle moves along the Edge joint moves, can be carried out quickly and without delay even on a larger scale. It is preferred according to the invention if the speed at which the filling nozzle and / or the speed at which the insulating glass pane is moved is changed.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren erlaubt eine problemlose Versiegelung auch im Eckbereich und die Versiegelung von nicht rechteckigen Isolierglasscheiben.The method according to the invention permits problem-free sealing even in the corner area and the sealing of non-rectangular insulating glass panes.
Änderungen der Tiefe der Randfuge (die Breite derselben ist weitgehend konstant), die durch ungenau angesetzte Abstandhalterrahmen entstehen und die insbesondere auch im Eckbereich auftreten, lassen sich beim Versiegeln gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren leicht beherrschen, insbesondere wenn für den Antrieb der Düsenhalterung und den Antrieb der Transportmittel für das Isolierglas sogenannte "Servomotoren" mit hoher Anlaufleistung verwendet werden.Changes in the depth of the edge joint (the width of the edge joint is largely constant), which are caused by imprecise spacer frames and which also occur particularly in the corner area, can be easily mastered when sealing according to the method according to the invention, in particular if the drive for the nozzle holder and the drive for the Means of transport for the insulating glass so-called "servo motors" with high starting power can be used.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens wird so vorgegangen, daß die je Zeiteinheit zur Fülldüse geförderte Menge an Versiegelungsmasse erfaßt wird, und daß die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Fülldüse entlang der Randfuge bewegt wird, bei verringerter Förderleistung verkleinert und bei erhöhter Förderleistungs vergrößert wird. Diese Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens macht es möglich, Änderungen der Förderleistung der Fördermittel für die Versiegelungsmasse, die beispielsweise durch eine Änderung der Temperatur der zur Fülldüse zu fördernden Versiegelungsmasse entstehen können, (wärmere Versiegelungsmasse läßt sich leichter fördern als kältere Versiegelungsmasse) auszugleichen. Daher ist es nicht notwendig, die Förderleistung an Versiegelungsmasse genau konstant zu halten. Es versteht sich, daß eine gemäß der Verfahrensvariante von Patentanspruch 4 vorgenommenen Änderungen der Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen Fülldüse und Isolierglasscheibe also eine Änderung wegen geänderter Förderleistung nach Patentanspruch 1 vorgenommenen Änderungen der Relativgeschwindigkeit, das sind Änderungen wegen verschiedener Tiefen der Randfuge überlagert werden. So kann beispielsweise der Fall eintreten, daß eine gemäß Patentanspruch 1 vorgenommene Verringerung der Relativgeschwindigkeit in einem Bereich, in dem die Randfuge tiefer ist, durch eine Erhöhung der Relativgeschwindigkeit gemäß Patentanspruch 4, wenn die Förderleistung an Versiegelungsmasse zunimmt, teilweise oder ganz aufgehoben wird. Die tatsächliche Änderung der Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen Fülldüse und Randfuge entspricht dann der Summe der gemäß Patentanspruch 1 und der gemäß Patentanspruch 4 vorgenommenen Änderungen der Relativgeschwindigkeit.In an advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the procedure is such that the amount of sealing compound conveyed to the filling nozzle per unit of time is recorded, and that the speed at which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint is reduced with a reduced delivery rate and increased with an increased delivery rate. This variant of the method according to the invention makes it possible to compensate for changes in the conveying capacity of the conveying means for the sealing compound, which can arise, for example, from a change in the temperature of the sealing compound to be conveyed to the filling nozzle (warmer sealing compound can be conveyed more easily than colder sealing compound). It is therefore not necessary to keep the delivery rate of sealing compound exactly constant. It goes without saying that a change in the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the insulating glass pane made according to the method variant of claim 4 is therefore one Change due to changed delivery performance according to
Die Erfindung betrifft weiters ein Verfahren zum Füllen der Randfugen von Isolierglasscheiben mit beliebig ausgebildeter Umrißform mit Versiegelungsmasse, bei dem die Geometriedaten der Umrißform oder von Teilen der Umrißform der Isolierglasscheiben in gespeicherter Form vorliegen.The invention further relates to a method for filling the edge joints of insulating glass panes with an arbitrarily designed outline shape with sealing compound, in which the geometric data of the outline shape or of parts of the outline shape of the insulating glass panes are available in stored form.
Anlagen zum automatischen Füllen von Randfugen von Isolierglasscheiben sind z. B. aus der DE-OS 28 45 475, der DE-PS 28 16 437 und der DE-AS 28 46 785 bekannt.Systems for the automatic filling of edge joints of insulating glass panes are e.g. B. from DE-OS 28 45 475, DE-PS 28 16 437 and DE-AS 28 46 785 known.
Mit solchen Anlagen ist jedoch lediglich das Füllen der Randfugen von Isolierglasscheiben mit geradlinigen Umrißformen möglich.With such systems, however, it is only possible to fill the edge joints of insulating glass panes with straight outline shapes.
Aus der EP-A-252 066 ist es bekannt, eine Versiegelungsstation auf Grund von gespeicherten Daten der Isolierglasscheiben zu steuern. Konkret geoffenbart ist in der EP-A-252 066 die Steuerung der Bewegungen der Fülldüse(n) und der Isolierglasscheibe, sowie der Menge an zugeführter Füllmasse durch am Isolierglas angebrachte Datenträger. Die Kapazität dieser Datenträger ist aber begrenzt, so daß sie nur eine beschränkte Zahl der an sich benötig ten Daten enthalten können. Der Gedanke, die Geschwindigkeit, mit der Fülldüsen entlang der Randfuge von Isolierglasscheiben bewegt werden, zu ändern, ist in der EP-A-252 066 nicht geoffenbart.From EP-A-252 066 it is known to control a sealing station on the basis of stored data of the insulating glass panes. Specifically disclosed in EP-A-252 066 is the control of the movements of the filling nozzle (s) and the insulating glass pane, as well as the amount of filling material supplied by data carriers attached to the insulating glass. The capacity of these data carriers is limited, however, so that they only require a limited number of them may contain data. The idea of changing the speed at which filling nozzles are moved along the edge joint of insulating glass panes is not disclosed in EP-A-252 066.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt die weitere Aufgabe zugrunde, das automatische Füllen der Randfugen von Isolierglasscheiben mit beliebig ausgebildeter Umrißform zu ermöglichen.The present invention is based on the further object of making it possible to automatically fill the edge joints of insulating glass panes with any shape of outline.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dies dadurch gelöst, daß auf Grund dieser Geometriedaten die Steuerung der Bewegung der wenigstens einen Fülldüse und/oder der Isolierglasscheibe erfolgt und daß die Fülldüse um eine zur Isolierglasscheibe normale Drehachse derart verschwenkt wird, daß die Fülldüse stets der Umrißkante der Isolierglasscheibe zugekehrt ist. Mit besonderem Vorteil kann dieses Verfahren mit dem Verfahren nach einem der Patentansprüche 1 bis 4 kombiniert werden. Es ist dann nicht nur möglich, Isolierglasscheiben mit beliebiger Umrißform zu versiegeln, sondern es wird eine stets randvolle Füllung der Randfuge mit Versiegelungsmasse gewährleistet.According to the invention, this is achieved in that, based on this geometry data, the movement of the at least one filling nozzle and / or the insulating glass pane is controlled and in that the filling nozzle is pivoted about an axis of rotation normal to the insulating glass pane such that the filling nozzle is always turned towards the contour edge of the insulating glass pane. This method can be combined with particular advantage with the method according to one of
Um die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen der Fülldüse und der Isolierglasscheibe dem jeweiligen Teilstück der Umrißform anzupassen, kann gemäß einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung so vorgegangen werden, daß die Geschwindigkeit der Bewegung der Isolierglasscheibe in horizontaler Richtung geändert wird und daß die Geschwindigkeit der Bewegung der Fülldüse normal zur Bewegungsrichtung der Isolierglasscheibe geändert wird.In order to adapt the relative speed between the filling nozzle and the insulating glass pane to the respective section of the outline shape, the procedure according to an advantageous embodiment of the invention is such that the speed of the movement of the insulating glass pane is changed in the horizontal direction and that the speed of the movement of the filling nozzle is normal to the direction of movement the insulating glass pane is changed.
Die Drehung der Fülldüse um eine zur Isolierglasebene normale Drehachse erfolgt vorzugsweise durch einen Schrittmotor. Dadurch wird der gewünschte Anstellwinkel der Fülldüse gegenüber der Umrißkante bei der Bewegung des Versiegelungsorganes entlang dieser immer beibehalten.The filling nozzle is preferably rotated about a rotation axis normal to the insulating glass plane by means of a stepper motor. As a result, the desired angle of attack of the filling nozzle with respect to the contour edge is always maintained when the sealing member moves along the latter.
Erfindungsgemäß erfolgt die Steuerung der Bewegung des Versiegelungsorganes und/oder der Isolierglasscheibe von einem Prozeßrechner auf Grund der gespeicherten Geometriedaten.According to the invention, the movement of the sealing member and / or the insulating glass pane is controlled by a process computer on the basis of the stored geometry data.
Von besonderem Vorteil ist es, wenn die Steuerung auf Grund der vom Prozeßrechner eines Glasschneidetisches verwendeten Geometriedaten erfolgt, da in diesem Fall bereits vorhandene Daten weiterverwendet werden können.It is particularly advantageous if the control takes place on the basis of the geometry data used by the process computer of a glass cutting table, since in this case already existing data can continue to be used.
Zur Ermittlung der Geometriedaten ist es auch möglich, daß ein Meßkopf, beispielsweise ein Lichttastkopf, die Außenkontur der Isolierglasscheibe abfährt und die Meßdaten, bezogen auf ein Achsenkreuz, an einen Prozeßrechner weitergibt, wo sie gespeichert werden. So können auch Konturen, die mathematisch oder geometrisch nicht genau definiert sind, erfaßt und für die Steuerung herangezogen werden.To determine the geometry data, it is also possible for a measuring head, for example a light probe head, to traverse the outer contour of the insulating glass pane and to pass the measured data, based on an axis cross, to a process computer, where they are stored. In this way, contours that are not precisely defined mathematically or geometrically can also be recorded and used for the control.
Für mathematisch und geometrisch definierte Umrißformen, die noch nicht gespeichert sind, bietet sich auch an, daß die Geometriedaten von Hand in den Prozeßrechner eingegeben werden.For mathematically and geometrically defined outline shapes that have not yet been saved, it is also advisable to enter the geometry data manually into the process computer.
Beim erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren ist es auch möglich, daß den Geometriedaten unregelmäßig geformter Isolierglasscheiben ein Code zugeordnet wird, unter dem die Daten abgespeichert und wieder abrufbar sind.In the method according to the invention it is also possible for the geometry data of irregularly shaped insulating glass panes to be assigned a code under which the data can be stored and called up again.
In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann so vorgegangen werden, daß die Geschwindigkeit, mit der die Fülldüse entlang der Randfuge der Isolierglasscheibe bewegt wird, im Bereich gerader und/oder wenig gekrümmter Randfugenabschnitte höher ist als im Bereich von Ecken und/oder stärkeren Krümmungen der Randfuge, wobei die Menge an je Zeiteinheit zur Fülldüse geförderter Versiegelungsmasse bei höherer Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen der Fülldüse und der Isolier glasscheibe größer ist als bei kleinerer Relativgeschwindigkeit. Diese Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens nützt die Erkenntnis aus, daß gerade und nur wenig gekrümmte Abschnitte der Randfuge mit höherer Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen Fülldüse und Isolierglasscheibe, also rascher versiegelt werden können, als Ecken oder Abschnitte der Randfuge mit kleinem Krümmungsradius. Auch diese Variante des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens kann mit dem Verfahren nach einem der Patentansprüche 1 bis 4 kombiniert werden. Die Änderungen gemäß den Patentansprüchen 1 bis 4 gehen dann von höheren bzw. kleineren absoluten Förderleistungen bzw. Relativgeschwindigkeiten aus.In an advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention, the procedure can be such that the speed at which the filling nozzle is moved along the edge joint of the insulating glass pane is higher in the region of straight and / or slightly curved edge joint sections than in the region of corners and / or greater curvatures Edge joint, the amount of sealing compound conveyed to the filling nozzle per unit of time at a higher relative speed between the filling nozzle and the insulation glass pane is larger than at a lower relative speed. This variant of the method according to the invention takes advantage of the knowledge that straight and only slightly curved sections of the edge joint with a higher relative speed between the filling nozzle and insulating glass pane can be sealed more quickly than corners or sections of the edge joint with a small radius of curvature. This variant of the method according to the invention can also be combined with the method according to one of the

Eine Isolierglasscheibe 1 mit einer in einem Abschnitt ihres Umfanges bogenförmig ausgebildeten Umrißkontur 2, wird in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 3 auf einem Horizontalförderer 21 , der wie in der DE-OS 30 38 425 beschrieben konstruiert sein kann, mit veränderlicher Geschwindigkeit bewegt. Dabei ist die Geschwindigkeit der Isolierglasscheibe 1 kleiner, wenn sich die Fülldüse 4 an der Stelle 5 der Umrißkontur der Isolierglasscheibe 1 befindet, als wenn sich die Fülldüse 4 an der Stelle 6 der Umrißkontur 2 befindet.An
Ebenso ändert sich die Geschwindigkeit der Fülldüse 4 in Richtung des Doppelpfeils 7, d.h. normal zur Bewegungsrichtung der Isolierglasscheibe 1, wobei hier die Geschwindigkeit der Fülldüse 4 bei Bewegung von der Stelle 5 zur Stelle 6 des Umrißkontur 2 abnimmt.Likewise, the speed of the filling nozzle 4 changes in the direction of the
Während dieser Bewegung erfolgt eine Drehung der Fülldüse 4 um eine normal zur Ebene der Isolierglasscheibe 1 stehende Achse 8 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 9. Durch diese Drehbewegung der Fülldüse 4, die von einem Motor 11, vorzugsweise einem Schrittmotor oder einem Hydraulikmotor bewerkstelligt wird, wird die richtige Ausrichtung der Düsenöffnung 10 der Fülldüse 4 gegenüber der Umrißkontur 2 der Isolierglasscheibe 1 immer beibehalten.During this movement, the filling nozzle 4 is rotated about an
Es ist aber ebenso möglich, während der Bewegung der Fülldüse 4 die Ausrichtung ihrer Düsenöffnung 10 zur Isolierglasscheibe 1 in Abhängigkeit von der Geometrie der Umrißform und der Relativgeschwindigkeit zu ändern, wenn dies in besonderen Fällen erforderlich ist.However, it is also possible to change the orientation of its nozzle opening 10 to the
Die Steuerung der Bewegungen der Isolierglasscheibe 1 und des Versiegelungsorganes 4 sowie der in der Zeiteinheit von der Fülldüse 4 in die Randfuge eingebrachten Menge an Versiegelungsmasse 12 erfolgt auf Grund der im Prozeßrechner 13 gespeicherten Geometriedaten der Isolierglasscheibe 1The movements of the insulating

Die Ausführung der Anlage zur Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens beschränkt sich nicht auf eine einzige Fülldüse 4, sondern es können gleichzeitig zwei oder auch mehrere Fülldüsen 4 an verschiedenen Stellen der Umrißform der Isolierglasscheibe 1 tätig sein bzw. ist auch ein gleichzeitiges Füllen der Randfugen von Mehrscheibenisolierglas mit nebeneinander angeordneten Fülldüsen möglich, wenn nicht Mehrfachdüsen verwendet werden.The design of the system for carrying out the method according to the invention is not limited to a single filling nozzle 4, but two or more filling nozzles 4 can operate simultaneously at different points in the outline shape of the insulating
Mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren können bei Verwendung eines Horizontalförderers, z.B. der aus der DE-PS 30 38 425 bekannten Fördervorrichtung, Isolierglasscheiben versiegelt werden, die wenigstens eine gerade Kante besitzen.With the method according to the invention, when using a horizontal conveyor, e.g. the conveyor device known from DE-PS 30 38 425, insulating glass panes are sealed, which have at least one straight edge.
Sollen Isolierglasscheiben ohne gerade Kanten versiegelt werden, dann kann die Bewegung der Isolierglasscheiben durch an diese seitlich angreifende, z.B. mit Saugköpfen ausgestattete, Fördereinrichtungen bewirkt werden.If insulating glass panes are to be sealed without straight edges, the movement of the insulating glass panes can be prevented by e.g. conveyor devices equipped with suction heads.
Wenngleich zur Ausführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens Versiegelungsanlagen mit mehreren Versiegelungsorganen verwendet werden können, wird in der Regel Anlagen mit einem Versiegelungsorgan (Fülldüse) der Vorzug gegeben. Grund hiefür ist es, daß sich die Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen dem unteren, horizontalen (geraden) Rand der Isolierglasscheibe und der Fülldüse ändert, wenn die zweite Fülldüse den vom Horizontalförderer nach oben ragenden Abschnitt der Randfuge entlang bewegt wird. Weiters können Umrißformen auftreten, bei welchen die Bewegungsrichtung der Bewegung der Isolierglasscheibe umgekehrt werden muß, was einen erheblichen Steuerungsaufwand für die Regelung der Menge der aus der Fülldüse, die dem unteren Rand der Isolierglasscheibe zugeordnet ist, auszubringenden Versiegelungsmasse bedeuten würde.Although sealing systems with several sealing elements can be used to carry out the method according to the invention, systems with one sealing element (filling nozzle) are generally preferred. The reason for this is that the relative speed between the lower, horizontal (straight) edge of the insulating glass pane and the filling nozzle changes when the second filling nozzle is moved along the section of the edge joint which projects upwards from the horizontal conveyor. Furthermore, outline shapes can occur in which the direction of movement of the movement of the insulating glass pane has to be reversed, which requires considerable control effort would mean for the regulation of the amount of the sealing compound to be applied from the filling nozzle which is assigned to the lower edge of the insulating glass pane.
Anhand von Fig. 6 wird die Steuerung einer nur durch einen aus Förderrollen 21 gebildeten Horizontalförderer, eine Fülldüse 4 und einem Vorratsbehälter 18 für Versiegelungsmasse veranschaulichten Anlage zum Füllen der Randfuge einer Isolierglasscheibe 1 ("Versiegelungsanlage") erläutert. In dieser Anlage wird die Versiegelungsmasse, die im Vorratsbehälter 18 enthalten ist und von einem Kolben 22 belastet wird, durch nicht gezeigte Pumpen über eine flexible Leitung 23 zur Fülldüse 4 gefördert.6, the control of a system for filling the edge joint of an insulating glass pane 1 (“sealing system”), which is illustrated only by a horizontal conveyor formed by
Ein Sensor 24 erfaßt die Tiefe der zu füllenden Randfuge der Isolierglasscheibe 1. Ein weiterer Sensor 25 erfaßt die Bewegungen des Kolbens 22 und damit die jeweilige Förderleistung an Versiegelungsmasse zur Fülldüse 4. Die von den Sensoren 24 und 25 erfaßten Daten werden dem Prozeßrechner 13 der Versiegelungsanlage zugeführt.A
Der Prozeßrechner 13 gibt Steuerbefehle an den Horizontalförderer 21 für die Bewegungen der Isolierglasscheibe 1 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 3 und an den Antrieb für das Bewegen der Fülldüse 4 in Richtung des Doppelpfeiles 7 ab. Weiters steuert der Prozeßrechner 13 die Förderleistung an Versiegelungsmasse zur Fülldüse 4 durch die Leitung 23.The
Durch Ändern der Relativgeschwindigkeit zwischen Fülldüse 4 und Isolierglasscheibe 1 in Abhängigkeit von der vom Sensor 24 erfaßten Tiefe der Randfuge und der vom Sensor 25 ermittelten Förderleistung wird die in die Randfuge je Längeneinheit derselben eingebrachte Menge an Versiegelungsmasse so geregelt, daß die Randfuge mit Versiegelungsmasse stets bis zum gewünschten Maß - in der Regel randvoll - gefüllt wird.By changing the relative speed between the filling nozzle 4 and the insulating
Die Förderleistung an Versiegelungsmasse aus dem Vorratsbehälter 18 zur Fülldüse 4 kann im Bereich gerader Randfugen (z.B. Abschnitt 6 in Fig. 1) erhöht und im Bereich gekrümmter Randfugen (z.B. Abschnitt 5 in Fig. 1) verkleinert werden. Auch bei absichtlich, wie beschrieben, geänderter Förderleistung gewährleistet das erfindungsgemäße oben erläuterte Verfahren eine stets richtige Füllung der Randfugen von Isolierglas, auch wenn sich deren Tiefe ändert.The delivery rate of sealing compound from the
Das erfindungsgemäße Versiegelungsverfahren kann sowohl bei horizontal liegend als auch bei im wesentlichen lotrecht stehend bewegten Isolierglasscheiben ausgeführt werden, wobei letztere Variante bevorzugt ist.The sealing method according to the invention can be carried out both in the case of horizontally lying and also substantially vertically standing insulating glass panes, the latter variant being preferred.
Der Sensor 25 der in Fig. 6 gezeigten Anordnung kann auch dem der Fülldüse 4 üblicherweise zugeordneten, in Fig. 6 nicht dargestellten Dosierzylinder zugeordnet sein. Bei dieser Ausführungsvariante wird die Förderleistung an Versiegelungsmasse zur Fülldüse 4 vom Sensor 25 durch Erfassen der Bewegungen des Dosierkolbens im Dosierzylinder in unmittelbarer Nähe der Fülldüse 4 erfaßt. So wird eine weitere Steigerung der Genauigkeit der Steuerung erzielt, da Verluste an Versiegelungsmasse, die beispielsweise während der Förderung derselben vom Vorratsbehälter bis zum Dosierzylinder auftreten können, ohne Einfluß bleiben.The
