Abstract

In order to apply viscous material, for example adhesives or sealants, in an optimum manner, the invention proposes combining the proportional metering device and the outlet valve to form a structural unit, integrating a static mixer tube in the filler opening, and partially tempering the feed line so as to maintain the viscous material located in the feed line at a constant temperature.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren nach dem Oberbegriff des 1. Anspruchs und auf eine Vorrichtung nach dem Oberbegriff des 6. Anspruchs.The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 and on a device according to the preamble of claim 6.

Auf vielen Gebieten der Technik, insbesondere bei der automatisierten Fertigung von Kraftfahrzeugkarosserien, ist es erforderlich, Dickstoffe, insbesondere Dicht- und Klebmittel, auf irgendwelche Flächen aufzubringen. Beispielsweise werden bei Kraftfahrzeugen entlang Kanten, Falzen oder Nähten von Karosserieteilen Dicht- und Klebstoff-Fäden bzw. dünne Streifen aufgebracht.In many areas of technology, especially in automated manufacturing of motor vehicle bodies, it is necessary to use thick materials, especially sealing and adhesive to apply to any surface. For example, at Motor vehicles along the edges, folds or seams of body parts and adhesive threads or thin strips applied.

Dieses Aufbringen kann sowohl von Hand als auch von programmgesteuerten Handhabungsautomaten, wie es beispielsweise in der DE-C 32 36 647 beschrieben ist, erfolgen.This application can be done by hand as well as by program-controlled Handling machines, as described for example in DE-C 32 36 647 is done.

In der Praxis sind derartige Auftragsvorgänge mit erheblichen Schwierigkeiten verbunden, weil einmal eine schnelle Fertigung gewünscht und zum anderen eine genügend und möglichst gleichmäßige Auftragung des Dickstoffes verlangt wird. Hierbei ist zu berücksichtigen, daß gleiche Dickstoffe immer wieder unterschiedliche Fließeigenschaften infolge unterschiedlicher Viskosität haben und zwar auch dann, wenn es sich um Dickstoffe derselben Herstellungscharge handelt, die in kürzester Zeit verarbeitet werden. Dadurch wird die gleichmäßige oder dosiert veränderbare Ausgabe der Dickstoffe erheblich beeinträchtigt.In practice, such order processes are associated with considerable difficulties, because on the one hand a quick production is wanted and on the other hand a sufficient and as even as possible application of the thick material is required. It must be taken into account here that the same thick matter is always different Have flow properties due to different viscosity and indeed when it concerns thick matter of the same production batch, which in processed in the shortest possible time. This will make the dosage even or even changeable output of the thick matter considerably impaired.

Die bereits bekanntgewordenen Vorrichtungen mit sehr feinfühligen Regelkreisen führen trotz großem Aufwand aufgrund ihrer großen Anfälligkeit zu dem dauerhaft gewünschten Ergebnis.The already known devices with very sensitive control loops lead to this in the long term despite great effort due to their great vulnerability desired result.

Aus dem KUKA Sonderdruck der Deutschen Fachzeitschrift Maschinenmarkt 1988, Heft 49, "Raupen legen" ist es bekannt, mit Hilfe von Robotern Klebstoffe aufzutragen. Hierbei wird ein sogenannter Volumendosierer verwendet, der direkt an der Roboterhand montiert sein kann. Das Auslaßventil ist direkt mit dem Volumendosierer verbunden, so daß die bisher übliche Schlauchleitung entfallen kann.From the KUKA reprint by the German trade magazine Maschinenmarkt 1988, Booklet 49, "Laying caterpillars", it is known with the help of robots adhesives to apply. Here, a so-called volume dispenser is used, which is directly on the robot hand can be mounted. The outlet valve is directly with the Volume metering connected so that the hoses that have been customary up to now are eliminated can.

Mit dieser Anordnung können Klebstoffraupen im Sichtbereich hergestellt werden, die höhere Anforderungen an die Gleichmäßigkeit der Klebstoffraupe stellen als Klebstoffraupen, die im nichtsichtbaren Bereich angeordnet werden. Die Probleme, die aufgrund unterschiedlicher Viskositätsunterschiede entstehen, können damit allerdings nicht zufriedenstellend gelöst werden.With this arrangement, adhesive beads can be produced in the visible area, who place higher demands on the uniformity of the adhesive bead than Adhesive beads which are arranged in the invisible area. The problems, that arise due to different viscosity differences, can however, cannot be solved satisfactorily.

Ausgehend von dem obengenannten Verfahren zum dosieren von Dickstoffen liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung hierfür bereitzustellen, durch welche in einfacher Weise das Fließverhalten von Dickstoffen so beeinflußt werden kann, daß bei gleich großen Düsenöffnungen immer gleiche Menge pro Zeiteinheit ausgegeben werden.Based on the above method for dosing thick matter the invention has for its object a method and an apparatus therefor To provide through which the flow behavior of thick matter in a simple manner can be influenced in such a way that the nozzle openings are always the same Quantity to be output per unit of time.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß eine Temperierung sowohl für die Proportionierung als für das Auslaßventil vorgesehen ist. Damit werden die Viskositätsunterschiede, die durch Temperaturänderungen hervorgerufen werden, vermieden. Somit können immer gleichmäßig starke Dickstoffraupen erzeugt werden.This problem is solved in that a tempering for both Proportionation than is provided for the outlet valve. With that, the Differences in viscosity caused by temperature changes, avoided. This means that thick caterpillars of uniform thickness can always be produced become.

Zwar ist aus der EP 0316315 B ein Temperiergerät für fließfähige Massen bekannt, dieses Temperiergerät dient jedoch dazu, in die Förderleitung für die fließfähigen Massen eingebaut zu werden, die von einem Vorratsbehälter zu einem Proportionalbehälter führt. Das Einbinden das Proportionaldosierers und das Auslaßventils in diesen Temperierkreislauf ist daraus jedoch nicht bekannt.A temperature control device for flowable masses is known from EP 0316315 B, However, this temperature control unit is used in the delivery line for the flowable Bulks to be built in from one reservoir to one Proportional container leads. Integrating the proportional dispenser and that Exhaust valve in this temperature control circuit is not known from this.

Unter Temperieren im Sinne der Erfindung wird das Erzielen einer konstanten Temperatur verstanden, d.h. je nach Umgebungseinflüssen ein Heizen oder Kühlen.Achieving a constant temperature control in the sense of the invention Understood temperature, i.e. Depending on the environmental influences, heating or cooling.

Eine Verstärkung des Durchwalkens bzw. Scherens der Dickstoffe wird durch das Vorsehen einer Mischstrecke, bspw. durch Einbau eines statischen Mischrohres im Einlauf des Proportionieres, erreicht, wie Anspruch 2 vorschlägt.A strengthening of the walking through or shearing of the thick materials is achieved by the Providing a mixing section, for example by installing a static mixing tube in the Enema of the proportioner, achieved as proposed in claim 2.

Als besonders vorteilhaft hat sich die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 3 herausgestellt. Dadurch wird der Regelaufwand minimiert und trotzdem werden ausgezeichnete Ergebnisse erzielt.The further development according to claim 3 has proven to be particularly advantageous. This minimizes the control effort and still makes it excellent Results achieved.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 4 werden Viskositätsunterschiede, hervorgerufen durch Temperaturänderungen, vermieden.Through the development according to claim 4, viscosity differences, caused by temperature changes, avoided.

Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 7 hat den Vorteil, daß das sonst bisher bekannte Schaltventil am Auslaß des Proportionieres entfallen kann und das Auslaßventil dirkekt an der Druckkammer des Proportionaldosierers angeschlossen werden kann. Dadurch wird der Steuerungsaufwand weiter minimiert.The development according to claim 7 has the advantage that the previously known Switching valve at the outlet of the proportioner can be omitted and the outlet valve be connected directly to the pressure chamber of the proportional metering device can. This further minimizes the control effort.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 8 wird der Vorteil erzielt, daß die Dickstoffe diskontinuierlich in den Proportionaldosierer gefördert werden, so daß dort nicht Dickstoffe bevorratet werden müssen über längere Wartezeiten, die wiederum zu Viskositätsunterschieden führen. Damit ist sichergestellt, daß unmittelbar vor dem Auftrag die Dickstoffe ausreichend gewalkt bzw. geschert werden.Through the development according to claim 8, the advantage is achieved that the thick materials be promoted discontinuously in the proportional meter, so that not there Thick matter must be stored over longer waiting times, which in turn increases Lead to differences in viscosity. This ensures that immediately before Order the thick materials to be sufficiently tumbled or sheared.

Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 9 werden Viskositätsunterschiede aufgrund von Temperaturunterschieden in der Förderleitung vermieden. Hierbei ist es allerdings nicht erforderlich, die gesamte Förderleitung zwischen dem Vorratsbehälter und dem Proportionaldosierer zu temperieren. Ausreichend ist, das 30fache Auftragsvolumen zu temperieren.The further development according to claim 9 causes viscosity differences of temperature differences in the delivery line avoided. Here it is however, the entire delivery line between the To temper the storage container and the proportional dispenser. It is sufficient that Temperature control 30 times the order volume.

Die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 10 beschreibt eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung zum Temperieren.The development according to claim 10 describes a preferred embodiment for Tempering.

Anspruch 11 zeichnet eine einfache Möglichkeit auf, eine volumetrische Regelung vorzusehen.Claim 11 records a simple possibility of a volumetric control to provide.

Durch die Druckentlastung der Förderleitung bei Produktionsstillständen kann die Thixotropie konstant gehalten werden.By relieving the pressure on the delivery line during production downtimes, the Thixotropy can be kept constant.

Die Weiterbildung der Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 13 erhöht die Durchmischung bzw. Durchwalkung des zu dosierenden Dickstoffes.The development of the invention according to claim 13 increases the mixing or walking through the thick matter to be dosed.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert. In the following the invention is based on a preferred embodiment explained in more detail.

It shows:

Erläutert wird die Erfindung anhand der Auftragung eines Klebstoffes auf ein Bauteil 1, das ein Teil eines Kraftfahrzeuges sein kann, aber nicht sein muß.The invention is explained on the basis of the application of an adhesive to a component 1, which can be part of a motor vehicle, but need not be.

Der Klebstoff wird in zwei Fässern 2 und 3 bereitgestellt. Jedes Faß ist mit einer Förderpumpe 4, 5 versehen. Ihre beiden Druckleitungen vereinigen sich in dem Knotenpunkt 6, von dem auch zu jedem Faß 2, 3 eine Rücklaufleitung 7, 8 abzweigt. In jeder Rücklaufleitung ist ein Druckentlastungsventil 9, 10 eingebaut. Beide Förderpumpen werden hintereinander betrieben, so daß immer nur aus einem Faß geliefert wird.The adhesive is provided in two drums 2 and 3. Every barrel is with one Feed pump 4, 5 provided. Your two pressure lines unite in the Node 6, from which a return line 7, 8 branches off for each barrel 2, 3. A pressure relief valve 9, 10 is installed in each return line. Both feed pumps are operated one after the other, so that only ever a barrel is delivered.

Vom Knotenpunkt 6 aus verläuft eine Förderleitung 11 zu einem Proportionaldosierer 12.A delivery line 11 runs from the node 6 to a proportional metering device 12th

Die Förderleitung 11 kann durch die Druckentlastungsventile 9, 10 während der Stillstandszeit/Bereitschaftszeit der Anlage druckentlastet werden, so daß eine konstante Thixotropie erreicht wird.The delivery line 11 can through the pressure relief valves 9, 10 during the Downtime / standby time of the system can be relieved of pressure, so that a constant thixotropy is achieved.

Der Proportionaldosierer 12 ist mit einem Auslaßventil 13 unmittelbar verbunden. Beide, Proportionaldosierer 12 und Auslaßventil 13, werden von einem Handhabungsautomaten 14 getragen und entsprechend eines vorprogrammierten Weges entlang den Auftragsflächen des Werkstückes 1 geführt. Die Steuerung des Proportionaldosierers und des Auslaßventils geschieht über die Steuerung des Handhabungsautomaten, so daß keine separate Steuerung notwendig ist.The proportional metering device 12 is connected directly to an outlet valve 13. Both proportional dosing device 12 and outlet valve 13 are operated by an automatic handling machine 14 worn and according to a pre-programmed path guided along the application surfaces of the workpiece 1. The control of the proportional dispenser and the outlet valve is controlled by the handling machine, so that no separate control is necessary.

Ein Teil der Länge der Förderleitung 11 sowie des Proportionaldosierers 12 und des Auslaßventils 13 sind Bestandteil eines Wärmeträgerkreislaufes 15. Dieser Wärmeträgerkreislauf 15 beinhaltet eine Heizeinrichtung 16 sowie eine Rückkühleinrichtung 17 und eine nicht näher dargestellte Förderpumpe. Damit ist es möglich, den Klebstoff immer auf konstante Temperatur zu halten.Part of the length of the conveyor line 11 and the proportional meter 12 and of the outlet valve 13 are part of a heat transfer circuit 15. This Heat transfer circuit 15 includes a heating device 16 and a recooling device 17 and a feed pump, not shown. So that's it possible to keep the adhesive at a constant temperature.

Wie in Figur 1 deutlich sichtbar ist, ist nicht die gesamte Förderleitung 11 temperiert, sondern nur ein Teil von ihr. Es hat sich herausgestellt, daß es ausreichend ist, etwa das 30fache des Auftragsvolumens zu temperieren, was in der Praxis in etwa 6 m Förderleitung entspricht.As can be clearly seen in FIG. 1, the entire delivery line 11 is not tempered, but only part of it. It turned out to be sufficient is to temper about 30 times the volume of the order, which in practice in corresponds to about 6 m delivery line.

In Figur 2 ist der Proportionaldosierer mit angeflanschtem Auslaßventil näher dargestellt.FIG. 2 shows the proportional metering device with a flanged outlet valve.

Der Proportionaldosierer 12 wird pneumatisch angetrieben. Er weist hierzu einen Kolben 18 auf, der in einem Druckraum 19 beweglich angeordnet ist und über ein Proportionalventil 36 gesteuert mit Druckluft versorgt wird.The proportional metering device 12 is driven pneumatically. He has one Piston 18, which is movably arranged in a pressure chamber 19 and via a Proportional valve 36 is supplied with compressed air in a controlled manner.

Der Kolben ist mit einer Kolbenstange 20 verbunden und über den Druckraum 19 hinaus verlängert ist bis in eine Dosierkammer 22.The piston is connected to a piston rod 20 and via the pressure chamber 19 is also extended into a metering chamber 22.

Die Förderleitung 11 ist unter Zwischenschaltung eines Absperrventiles 23 und eines statischen Mischrohres 35 an die Dosierkammer 22 angeschlossen.The delivery line 11 is interposed with a shut-off valve 23 and a static mixing tube 35 connected to the metering chamber 22.

Ein Auslaß 24 aus der Dosierkammer 22 mündet direkt in das Auslaßventil 13 oberhalb einer Ventilnadel 25. Durch eine Düse 26 wird bei geöffnetem Auslaßventil 13 der Klebstoff ausgetragen.An outlet 24 from the metering chamber 22 opens directly into the outlet valve 13 above a valve needle 25. A nozzle 26 is with the outlet valve open 13 the adhesive is discharged.

Das Auslaßventil 13 wird ebenfalls pneumatisch angesteuert. Hierzu ist die Düsennadel 25 mit einem Steuerkolben 27 verbunden, der gegen die Kraft einer Feder 28 öffnet. Gesteuert wird das Auslaßventil 13 über ein 2/2-Wegeventil 29.The outlet valve 13 is also controlled pneumatically. For this is the nozzle needle 25 connected to a control piston 27 which acts against the force of a spring 28 opens. The outlet valve 13 is controlled via a 2/2-way valve 29.

Zur Volumensteuerung weist der Proportionaldosierer 12 drei Näherungsschalter 30, 31 und 32 auf, die den Kolbenweg erfassen. Hierbei erfaßt der Näherungsschalter 30 die Ruhelage des Kolbens 18. In dieser Stellung kann das Absperrventil 23 geöffnet werden und die Dosierkammer 22 gefüllt werden. The proportional metering device 12 has three proximity switches for volume control 30, 31 and 32 on which detect the piston travel. Here the proximity switch detects 30 the rest position of the piston 18. In this position the shut-off valve 23 are opened and the metering chamber 22 are filled.

Der Näherungsschalter 31 erfaßt die minimale Auftragsmenge, d.h. erreicht der Kolben 18 diese Stellung, hat die Kolbenstange 20 den in der Dosierkammer 22 eingebrachten Klebstoff durchgewalkt aber nur eine geringe Klebstoffmenge über das geöffnete Auslaßventil 13 ausgeschoben.The proximity switch 31 detects the minimum order quantity, i.e. reaches the Piston 18 in this position, the piston rod 20 has the in the metering chamber 22nd introduced adhesive but only rolled over a small amount of adhesive the opened outlet valve 13 pushed out.

Der Näherungsschalter 32 kennzeichnet die maximale Austragsmenge, d.h. erreicht der Kolben 18 diesen Näherungsschalter, befindet sich die Kolbenstange 20 nahe dem unteren Ende der Dosierkammer 22. Somit ist die größtmöglichste Menge an Klebstoffen durch das geöffnete Auslaßventil 13 ausgeschoben worden.The proximity switch 32 indicates the maximum discharge amount, i.e. reached the piston 18 of this proximity switch, the piston rod 20 is located near the lower end of the metering chamber 22. This is the largest possible Amount of adhesives have been pushed out through the opened outlet valve 13.

Dementsprechend kann auch mit diesen drei Näherungsschaltern die Klebstoffauftragsmenge überwacht und geregelt werden. Dazu werden die Näherungsschalter 30 bis 32 entsprechend der gewünschten Auftragsmenge zueinander angeordnet. Erreicht bei einem Auftrag der Kolben eine Stellung zwischen dem Näherungsschalter 31 und 32, d.h. er überfährt den Näherungsschalter 31 gelangt aber nicht bis zum Näherungsschalter 32, so ist die Auftragsmenge in Ordnung.Accordingly, with these three proximity switches, the amount of adhesive can be applied be monitored and regulated. To do this, the proximity switches 30 to 32 arranged according to the desired order quantity to each other. When the pistons are applied, they reach a position between the proximity switch 31 and 32, i.e. it runs over the proximity switch 31 but does not get there up to the proximity switch 32, the order quantity is in order.

Erreicht der Kolben 18 nur den Näherungsschalter 31, so ist nur die Minimalmenge ausgetragen worden, der Dosierdruck kann für den nachfolgenden Auftrag über das Proportionalventil 36 erhöht werden.If the piston 18 only reaches the proximity switch 31, then only the minimum quantity has been carried out, the dosing pressure can be set for the subsequent order the proportional valve 36 can be increased.

Erreicht der Kolben nach dem Klebstoffauftrag den Max.-Schalter, so ist die etwas mehr als die notwendige Menge ausgeschoben worden. Für den nächsten Auftragsvorgang wird dann der Dosierdruck im Druckraum 19 erniedrigt. Werden bei einem Auftragsvorgang der Näherungsschalter 31 nicht erreicht bzw. fährt der Kolben über den Näherungsschalter 32 hinaus weiter nach unten, so ist die Austragsmenge in beiden Fällen nicht in Ordnung und die Anlage meldet einen Störfall.If the piston reaches the max. Switch after applying the adhesive, it is something more than the necessary amount has been pushed out. For the next order process the metering pressure in the pressure chamber 19 is then reduced. Become at an application process the proximity switch 31 does not reach or the piston moves beyond the proximity switch 32 further down, so is the discharge amount in both cases not OK and the system reports a malfunction.

In Figur 2 ist weiterhin noch bei der Förderleitung 11 eine Möglichkeit der Temperierung dargestellt, indem nämlich die Förderleitung 11 doppelwandig ausgebildet ist. Hierbei kann dann zwischen ihrer inneren Wandung 33 und ihrer äußeren Wandung 34 ein Wärmeträger zirkulieren und so diesen Förderleitungsabschnitt auf konstante Temperatur halten. Selbstverständlich kann auch das Schaltventil 23 in den Wärmeträgerkreislauf eingebunden sein, ebenso wie die Dosierkammer 22 des Proportionaldosierers und der Bereich um die Düsennadel 25 des Auslaßventiles 13.In Figure 2 there is still a possibility of temperature control in the delivery line 11 shown, namely that the delivery line 11 is double-walled is. This can then between its inner wall 33 and its outer Wall 34 circulate a heat transfer medium and so this conveyor line section keep at constant temperature. The switching valve 23 can of course also be used be integrated into the heat transfer circuit, as well as the metering chamber 22 of the proportional metering device and the area around the nozzle needle 25 of the outlet valve 13.
