Definitions
- the invention is based on a method with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
- Such a method is known from DE-OS 35 39 879.
- Two horizontally conveying suction conveyors in the form of suction conveyor belts, which are arranged parallel to one another, are used to carry out the known method.
- the glass sheets are fed to the two suction conveyors by means of another horizontal conveyor, which is equipped with a roller conveyor made of driven rollers on which the glass panels stand, while they are supported on a support device (roller array or air cushion wall) which is parallel to the roller conveyor above extends to him.
- the two glass sheets are positioned congruently at a predetermined distance and then a strand of a pasty and then solidifying mass, which adheres to the two glass sheets, is injected into the space between the two glass sheets along their edge by means of a nozzle. This can be done with one or more
- Nozzles are carried out, the vertical strands being sprayed upwards or downwards when the glass sheet is at rest, the horizontal strands, on the other hand, are sprayed through a nozzle which is at rest, while the two glass sheets are conveyed forward or backward in a straight line by the suction conveyor. If the space between the panes is hermetically sealed in this way by a circumferential strand, the two glass panels, which are now connected to form an insulating glass pane, are conveyed further on a removal conveyor belt. If necessary, they can be compressed beforehand between the two suction conveyors to a predetermined nominal size.
- the known device and the method carried out with it are well suited for the assembly of flat insulating glass panes with straight edges, but not for the assembly of curved insulating glass panes.
- the object of the present invention is to further develop the generic method in such a way that curved insulating glass panes can also be assembled with it.
- a device for carrying out the further developed method is to be specified. There is a need in automotive engineering for curved insulating glass panes.
- the glass panels are preferably rotated so that the edge of one of the two glass panels moves along at a fixed point in space. At this point, a nozzle can then be arranged essentially stationary, along which the curved glass sheets are moved with their edges.
- a correspondingly precise movement control of the glass panels is possible with robots, especially when producing insulating glass panes for automobiles, only a few pane formats have to be produced in large numbers, so that the movement coordinates correspond to a read-only memory of the glass panels controlling microcomputer can be entered.
- To program the microcomputers one can proceed by first programming the microcomputer of one of the two robots with the movement coordinates, then the microcomputer of the other
- the robot is programmed with the mathematically mirrored movement coordinates, then any possible synchronization errors are observed in a test run, and the movement coordinates are then corrected to minimize the synchronization errors.
- two robots of the same design are used because this makes it easier to achieve synchronism.
- the outlay in terms of apparatus for carrying out the method is the least if the nozzle is arranged essentially stationary and the edge of the glass plates is moved along it, because then only the movement of the two suction devices has to be controlled, but it does not have to be coordinated on a movement of the nozzle.
- the nozzle on the other hand, it is sufficient if it is movably, in particular adjustable and preferably resiliently mounted at the intended location at the intended location, so that it presses the edge of one or the other glass sheet, possibly also the edge of both, with massive pressure during the spraying process Glass panels are applied.
- insulating glass panes for use as side windows in automobiles are preferably composed of glass panels of different sizes (DE-OS 35 17 581).
- the nozzle will expediently be brought into contact with the edge of the smaller glass sheet.
- the edge of the glass sheets is guided along a stationary nozzle, then at least one edge point of the glass sheet moves on a closed path curve in the course of a full rotation of the glass sheet, and one can pass through Comparison of the coordinates of the start and end point of the positions of the two suction devices at the end of each assembly process make a statement as to whether the prescribed movement path has been observed.
- the development according to claim 4 has the advantage that the device for carrying out the method is simplified, in particular if the axis of rotation passes through the center of gravity of the insulating glass pane, as a result of which the force required for turning and the translatory portion of the rotary movement become particularly small.
- the development according to claim 7 has the advantage that the movements of the robots in the direction of the axis of rotation are minimal.
- the development according to claim 8 has the advantage that the strand injected between the two glass sheets is influenced in almost the same way by gravity at all points on the edge of the pane. If, on the other hand, an axis of rotation parallel to the surface of the earth should be more favorable in terms of equipment, then it is advisable to carry out the rotation in such a way that the edge of the glass sheet is moved down along the nozzle (claim 9), so that the extruded strand section is the freshest and therefore can still support the easiest flowing strand section.
- a major advantage of the invention is that the curved insulating glass panes can be assembled with relatively little outlay on equipment.
- the two robots that are used to carry out the rotary movement of the glass panels can fetch and position the glass panels themselves.
- feed conveyors for the two glass sheets are arranged within the reach of the robot. Since the glass sheets must be washed before assembly, the feeders for the two glass sheets are preferably each passed through a washing machine. They then come freshly washed out of the washing machine into the range of the respective robot and can be gripped, positioned and shortly afterwards by the insulating glass pane can be assembled without any risk of contamination due to longer waiting times, through temporary storage or through special transfer devices.
- the robots position the two glass sheets exactly in a repeatable relative position, they should be able to place their suction device repeatedly on the glass sheet in a predetermined position and orientation.
- fixed stops are provided on the respective feed conveyor, with the aid of which the glass sheet is repetitively positioned in a predetermined position, so that it is sufficient to program the robots in a manner which is conventional in such a way that they repeatedly move to the predetermined position and get her glass plate.
- the insulating glass pane can either be deposited by one or the other robot, for example placed in a magazine, with which the insulating glass panes are brought into a warehouse or are used for further use.
- the fact that the deposit can be done either by one or the other robot means that work can be carried out without interruption: if a magazine within the reach of one robot is full, a second magazine can be filled next within reach of the other robot and in the In the meantime, the filled magazine can be replaced by an empty magazine within the reach of the first robot.
- the design of the suction device according to claim 18 has the Advantages that the glass sheet can lie against the suction device over the entire surface and that despite the elastically yielding surface, sufficient pressure can be exerted with sufficient dimensional accuracy to finally press the insulating glass pane together.
- the development according to claim 19 has the advantage that the plate can be precisely adapted to its contour by heating in contact with a selected glass sheet.
- Claim 20 describes an alternative embodiment of the suction device.
- Your development according to claim 21 has the advantage that the stops between the suction plates facilitate exact positioning for the glass sheet; at the same time, they can be used to press the insulating glass pane together with exact dimensions. For this purpose, they are preferably adjustable.
- the development according to claim 23 has the advantage that the exact position of the glass sheets on the suction devices can be checked.
- the development according to claim 24 has the advantage that the position of the glass sheets, in particular their mutual distance, can be checked above all where compliance with dimensional tolerances is particularly important, namely at the edge of the insulating glass pane.
- the embodiment according to claim 25 has to be that any flutter of the robot, which synchronously the suction • devices are to rotate, offset the advantage, because the suction devices for the duration of the turning process rotationally may be connected together so that Document ⁇ lei relative rotation between them can occur.
- a particularly simple embodiment of the devices with which the two suction devices can be connected to one another in a rotationally fixed manner is the subject of claim 26.
- the pins can be advanced and retracted in any manner by motor; pneumatically actuated piston-cylinder units are preferably used, in which the piston rods are the said pins.
- the receptacles for the pins can be, for example, eyelets on the opposite suction device or holes in a frame part of the opposite suction device.
- At least three such devices are preferably provided distributed around the circumference of the suction devices. Three such devices are sufficient for the assembly of smaller insulating glass panes. For larger insulating glass panes, more than three such devices can also be provided. These devices should be able to be operated independently of one another. This has the advantage that when the nozzle approaches such a device, this device can be opened (if it is a pen, the pen can be withdrawn) so that the nozzle can pass through this device unhindered. In this case, there is still a twist-proof connection of the two suction devices, since the other devices the two suction devices still connecting directions. After the passage of the nozzle on the respective device, the latter is operated again and brought into engagement with the opposite suction device Ge- ".

Abstract
Dans un procédé pour assembler deux plaques de verre (11, 12) afin de former une vitre isolante, lesdites plaques de verre (11, 12) sont agencées mutuellement parallèlement et selon un écartement prédéterminé, au moyen de dispositifs d'aspiration. Tandis que les deux plaques de verre (11, 12) sont maintenues à l'écartement prédéterminé, par l'aspiration appliquée à leurs surfaces opposées, sans aucune espèce d'écarteur entre elles, un cordon sans fin d'un matériau initialement pâteux qui ensuite se solidifie est injecté le long des bords et entre les deux plaques (11, 12) auxquelles il adhère. Pendant ce temps, les plaques de verre sont mises en rotation de manière synchrone, sans aucun mouvement relatif entre elles, autour d'un axe passant par leurs surfaces. L'aspiration sur une plaque de verre (11) cesse alors et la vitre isolante est transportée et déposée par aspiration constante sur l'autre plaque de verre (12).In a method for assembling two glass plates (11, 12) to form an insulating pane, said glass plates (11, 12) are arranged mutually parallel and at a predetermined spacing, by means of suction devices. While the two glass plates (11, 12) are maintained at the predetermined spacing, by the suction applied to their opposite surfaces, without any kind of spacer between them, an endless bead of an initially pasty material which then solidifies is injected along the edges and between the two plates (11, 12) to which it adheres. During this time, the glass plates are rotated synchronously, without any relative movement between them, around an axis passing through their surfaces. The suction on one glass plate (11) then ceases and the insulating pane is transported and deposited by constant suction on the other glass plate (12).
