Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine and to a method for angle joining of intermediate components for the assembly of profiled elements for doors and windows and the like, according to the preambles of claims 1 and 17 respectively (see for example BE-A-798 373).
  • the frames of metallic doors and windows are manufactured by assembling intermediate components, such as profiled elements obtained by extrusion, machined at their ends to obtain angled bevels, and provided internally with tubular chambers.
  • Angle brackets for mutually connecting each profiled element that constitutes the frame and the adjacent profiled element are inserted in the chambers so as to preassemble the corners of the frames.
  • Two different working methods are known for performing the doweling: one consists in inserting manually, with the aid of percussion hammers or the like, the dowels in holes formed beforehand in the profiled elements; the other one uses doweling machines.
  • These machines are substantially constituted by a workbench on which there are two doweling heads arranged at right angles to each other, each head cooperating with a respective profiled element, and there is a sort of clamp for blocking the profiled elements being machined.
  • Each head generally has a magazine provided with a plurality of seats in which the dowels are accommodated and a pusher for expelling the individual dowels.
  • cylindrical dowels are used to join the comers mechanically, and adhesive material is injected manually into the chambers of the profiled elements through additional holes formed generally in the profiled elements prior to assembly, so as to embed the bracket and the dowels inserted therein, obtaining, after a suitable setting time, a permanent connection of the profiled elements.
  • the adhesive material protects the bracket against corrosion and increases the mechanical strength of the joint obtained between the profiled elements.
  • the aim of the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks noted above of known machines by providing a machine and a method for angle joining intermediate components for the assembly of profiled elements for doors and windows and the like that allows to achieve higher flexibility in use and a reduction in treatment times and associated costs.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a machine that is simple, relatively easy to provide in practice, safe in use, effective in operation, and has a relatively low cost.
  • the reference numeral 1 generally designates a machine for angle joining intermediate components for the assembly of profiled elements for doors and windows and the like.
  • the machine 1 comprises a supporting frame 2, which forms a workbench 3 on which two intermediate components P are positioned by way of reference means 4.
  • the intermediate components P are constituted by respective extruded profiled elements, which are machined at their ends to obtain an angular bevel and are provided with respective tubular chambers C, an upper chamber C 1 and a lower chamber C 2 , and are preassembled at right angles by inserting at least one and preferably two angular elements E, such as L-shaped brackets or the like, one in the upper chambers C 1 and the other one in the lower chambers C 2 .
  • the reference means 4 comprise a sort of clamp that is constituted by a fork-like element 5 that protrudes from the workbench 3 and on which there abuts the outer corner formed by the two intermediate components P and by a wedge, not shown, which can slide within a seat 6 formed in the workbench and is suitable to abut against the inner corner formed by the intermediate components.
  • Such wedge is associated with means for actuating movement toward and away from the intermediate components P and with means for adjusting contact pressure, both of which are not shown because they are of a conventional type.
  • the reference means 4 further comprise a plurality of supports 7 of adjustable height, which are distributed on the workbench 3, and a plurality of supporting wings 8, which protrude laterally from the workbench.
  • the machine 1 further comprises at least one and preferably two units 9 for fixing the two intermediate components P and angular elements E inserted therein, which are associated in an upper region with respect to the workbench 3.
  • Each unit 9 comprises at least one and preferably two working heads 10, which are provided with respective means 11 for inserting a dowel S, which is provided with a longitudinal through hole, not shown in the figures, for the connection of the corresponding intermediate component P and of one of the angular elements E and of respective means 12 for injecting a preset amount of filler material into the corresponding chamber C through the hole of the previously inserted dowel S.
  • the amount of filler material injected through each hole varies according to the useful volume inside the corresponding chamber C and is suitable to occupy at least one portion of the chamber, which is arranged at the angular element E inserted therein.
  • the filler material is suitable to protect the angular elements E accommodated within the chambers C and/or to increase the mechanical strength of the joint provided between intermediate components P.
  • the filler material can be constituted, for example, by an adhesive or the like.
  • the working heads 10 of each unit 9 are arranged at different heights with respect to the workbench 3, the upper working head 10a and the lower working head 10b being arranged respectively at the upper chamber C 1 and lower chamber C 2 of the corresponding intermediate component P.
  • the working heads 10 of the units 9 can move in a reciprocating manner in a direction that is parallel to the corresponding intermediate component P between a first active configuration for the insertion of a dowel S in the intermediate component and a second active configuration for injecting the preset amount of filler material through the hole of the previously inserted dowel S.
  • the insertion means 11 comprise a duct 13 for the exit of the dowels S, which is fed by a magazine 14, and pusher means 15 for expelling individual dowels S through said duct.
  • the exit duct 13 is formed in a protruding portion 16 of the corresponding working head 10, which is designed to be arranged in abutment against the corresponding intermediate component P.
  • the pusher means 15 of each working head 10 comprise a pusher 17, which is made to move in a reciprocating fashion substantially transversely to the corresponding intermediate component P by corresponding actuation means, which are not shown because they are of a conventional type, between an inactive configuration and a pushing configuration.
  • the pusher 17 is constituted by a sort of associable stem that can slide along the exit duct 13 of the dowels S.
  • the actuation means can be, for example, of the mechanical or pneumatic or hydraulic type, i.e., operated by way of a fluid medium.
  • the magazine 14 is of the linear type and is arranged parallel to the corresponding intermediate component P.
  • the magazine 14 comprises an elongated element 18, which is provided with a longitudinal seat 19 for accommodating a plurality of dowels S, which are arranged mutually side by side and lie transversely to the elongated element, with an opening 20 for the insertion of the dowels that is connected to the seat 19, and with a through slot 21 for the exit of the individual dowels S, which is aligned with the exit duct 13 and faces it and is interposed between the exit duct and the pusher 17.
  • the magazine 14 further comprises pusher means 22 for the translational motion of the dowels S arranged inside it along the seat 19 up to the vicinity of the through slot 21.
  • the pusher means 22 comprise a slider 23, which is associated so that it can slide along the seat 19, and elastic means 24, such as a conventional pack spring or the like, which are arranged inside said seat and have a first end that is rigidly coupled to the elongated element 18 and a second end that is rigidly coupled to the slider 23.
  • the elastic means 24 act parallel to the seat 19, pushing the dowels S contained therein toward the through slot 21, so that at each pass of the pusher 17 a new dowel S is arranged along its path in order to be expelled at the next pass.
  • each working head 10 comprise a channel 25 for the exit of the filler material, which is formed in the protruding portion 16 and is associated with a duct 26 for feeding said material, which is provided with an injector 27.
  • the feed duct 26 is served by feeder means 28, which are constituted, for example, by a tank 29 that is preferably accommodated within the machine 1.
  • the tank 29 is provided with dosage means 30, such as a conventional volumetric regulator or the like, which are set to allow the release of the preset quantity of filler material.
  • dosage means 30 such as a conventional volumetric regulator or the like, which are set to allow the release of the preset quantity of filler material.
  • the tank 29 that feeds the filler material toward the upper working heads 10a (or lower working heads 10b) of the two units 9 is in common, since generally the shape of the upper chambers C 1 (or lower cams C 2 ) of the two intermediate components is the same, and therefore amount of filler material that is injected is the same.
  • Each unit 9 comprises first, second and third means, respectively designated by the reference numerals 31, 32 and 33, for adjusting the relative position of the upper head 10a with respect to the position of the lower head 10b, respectively in a vertical direction, in a transverse direction and in a parallel direction with respect to the corresponding intermediate component P.
  • Each unit 9 further comprises means 34 for positioning the working heads 10 on the workbench 3 in a direction that is parallel to the corresponding intermediate component P.
  • the adjustment means 31, 32 and 33 and the positioning means 34 are of a type that can be adjusted manually by way of threaded elements or the like, which are associated with mechanical counters of a known type or other devices, not shown in detail.
  • the adjustment means 31, 32 and 33 and the positioning means 34 can be of the electronic type and be controlled by a control and management unit, such as a conventional programmable controller.
  • the machine 1 comprises actuation means, such as conventional levers or control switches, which actuate the translational motion of the working heads 10 between the first and second active configurations, the insertion means 11 and the injection means 12.
  • actuation means such as conventional levers or control switches, which actuate the translational motion of the working heads 10 between the first and second active configurations, the insertion means 11 and the injection means 12.
  • the operation of the invention is as follows: the operator must fix beforehand the intermediate components P on the workbench 3, adjusting the supports 7 and placing the wedge so as to lock said intermediate components between the edge and the fork-like element 5.
  • the intermediate components P are arranged on the supports 7 at a suitable distance from the workbench 3, so that the lower chambers C 2 are at a level that is close to the level of the lower heads 10b.
  • the operator must further act manually to adjust the adjustment means 31, 32 and 33 and the positioning means 34, so that the working heads 10 are arranged at the angular elements E inserted in the chambers C of the respective intermediate components P.
  • Such adjustment depends on the dimensions and shape of the intermediate components P and of the angular elements E.
  • adjustment means 31, 32 and 33 and the positioning means 34 are of the electronic type, it is sufficient to make the controller identify the type of intermediate component P being treated, for example by entering codes or the like, so that it correctly positions said means.
  • the means 11 for inserting the lower heads 10b and then the means for inserting the upper heads 10a are activated simultaneously.
  • the working heads 10 are made to perform a translational motion parallel to the respective intermediate components P by an extent that corresponds to the center distance between the exit ducts 13 and the exit channels 25 of the heads, so as to arrange each exit channel 25 of the filler material at the hole of the corresponding dowel S inserted previously.
  • injection means 12 are actuated by way of the actuation means and inject the preset quantity of filler material through the hole of each dowel S.
