Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for applying a viscous material, in particular a sealant such as silicone, along an applica- 10 tion path.
- a viscous material in particular a sealant such as silicone
- Apparatus for dispensing a viscous material such as sealant, putty or mastic materials, e.g. in glaz- 15 ing, caulking, jointing or general sealing, are well- known in the prior art within a wide range of designs.
- a viscous material such as sealant, putty or mastic materials, e.g. in glaz- 15 ing, caulking, jointing or general sealing
- the container may be separated from the gun itself, and the viscous material is supplied to the gun via a hose or similar
- Apparatus for automatic application of a sealant on e.g. a glazing assembly are known as well.
- such apparatus comprise a moving device for moving the glazing assembly with respect to the noz- zle, or vice versa, which moving device is motor- driven and controlled by any suitable means, such as a program control according to a predefined and preprogrammed geometry of the glazing assembly.
- GB 2 016 960 discloses such an apparatus, by means of which edge joints of insulating glazing assemblies are sealed automatically.
- this object is met by a method for applying a viscous material, in particular a sealant such as silicone, along an application path in relation to individual elements, in which at least said nozzle is moved along said application path, the viscous material is transferred from a container accommodating the material to a nozzle and the viscous material is discharged from said nozzle in a longitudinally extending joint along the application path by means of a pressure acting on said viscous material, said pressure being relieved in order to reduce the discharge of viscous material from the nozzle, said pressure being applied by and said transfer between the container and the nozzle performed by a pumping means having an inlet side and an outlet side, the inlet side being connected with said container, the viscous material being supplied directly from the outlet side of the pumping means to said nozzle, said pumping means being driven by a motor which is controlled by control means, said method being characterized in that the movement along the application path is performed manually, and that said control means activate and deactivate said motor in response to signals from at
- the application process may be controlled in a simple manner by an operating person.
- detecting means are provided for detecting the thickness and/or width of the applied joint, and the discharged amount may be decreased or increased in response to signals from the detecting means. In this manner, e.g. manufacturing tolerances or local variations along the application path may be compensated for automatically.
- the container may be subjected to a slight pressure.
- the object is met by an arrangement for applying a viscous material, in particular a sealant such as silicone, along an application path, comprising a container for ac- commodating said viscous material, a nozzle through which the viscous material is discharged to provide a longitudinally extending joint along the application path, pressure providing means acting on said material, means for reducing the pressure on said mate- rial, a pump having an inlet side connected with said container and an outlet side which is directly connected with said nozzle, said pump being connected with a motor which is controlled by control means, said arrangement being characterized in that said ar- rangement comprises an assembly that may be moved manually, and that said control means are connected with at least one encoder for activating and deactivating said motor in response to signals from said at least one encoder.
- the pump is preferably a displacement pump, such as e.g. a gear pump, a screw pump or an impeller or vane pump. This kind of pump provides a substantially linear flow with only insignificant puls
- the nozzle may be manufactured of a substantially non-yielding material. This results in a particularly stiff nozzle portion, which, in turn, en- tails that the residual stress in this portion is reduced in comparison to prior art devices, and the nozzle does not contribute to the outflow of material when the pump has been stopped.
- the at least one encoder may be rotationally connected with an arm mounted on said movable assembly.
- the nozzle and the container are mounted on a respective side of the housing of the pump to form a portable assembly.
- At least the movable assembly may be suspended on a supporting structure.
- FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a window
- Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the window of Fig. 1 along the line II -II, showing a schematic view of a prior art arrangement for providing a sealing joint;
- Fig. 3 is a view corresponding to Fig. 2 of an em- bodiment of an arrangement according to the invention.
- Fig. 4 is a side view of a further embodiment of an arrangement according to the invention.
- the window shown in Fig. 1 comprises a frame 1 which carries a glazing element 2, e.g. in the form of a glass unit, preferably an insulating glass unit.
- the glazing element 2 is received in the frame in any suitable manner, eg. as shown in a recess formed in the frame between a projection la and a frame portion lb.
- the gap between the glazing element 2 and the frame portion lb is filled by an appropriate sealant, such as silicone, along an application path extending along the sides of the window.
- an appropriate sealant such as silicone
- a dispensing cartridge comprising a container 3 having a nozzle 4 and an internal plunger (not shown) is loaded into an extrusion device such as an applicator gun symbolized by the compressed-air hose 5.
- an extrusion device such as an applicator gun symbolized by the compressed-air hose 5.
- the plunger is urged from one end of the cartridge whereby the sealant contained in the container 3 is discharged from the nozzle 4 to provide a joint 6 when the applicator arrangement is moved along the sides of the window.
- a string 6a of excess material is generated, which may be due to overfilling of the gap in order to secure adequate sealing or which is the result of stopping and subsequent starting of the movement of the applicator along the application path. The excess material is subsequently removed.
- FIG. 3 an embodiment of the arrangement according to the invention is shown, in which elements having the same or analogous function as in the prior art arrangement carry the same reference numerals.
- a pump 7 is inserted between the container 3 and the nozzle 4 of the applicator arrangement.
- the term "container” should be interpreted to comprising any containing means, such as a cartridge and hose means for conducting the viscous material from a supply source to the pump.
- the pump 7 is preferably a gear pump but any other suitable type of displacement pump may be utilized.
- the pump provides a substantially linear flow, examples of such a pump being e.g. a screw pump or an impeller or vane pump.
- a pump 7 is connected with a motor 8 which is controlled by control means com- prising a driver 10 and an electronic gear 10.
- the motor 8 is connected with a position feed-back device and is thus in the embodiment shown activated and deactivated in response to signals from an encoder 11 detecting the movement of the arrangement along the application path.
- the encoder 11 is rotatably mounted on an arm 12 connected .with e.g. the housing of the pump 7.
- the arrangement In order to apply the joint 6 of the sealant material in the gap between the frame portion lb and the glazing element 2, the arrangement is advanced along the sides of the window.
- the encoder 11 transmits a signal to the control means 9, 10 which activates the motor 8 which in turn drives the gear pump 7.
- the pump 7 draws sealant from the container 3 on its inlet side.
- a slight pressure such as 5 bars or lower may be applied to the container.
- the nozzle 4 is made from a stiff material in order to prevent the material collected in the nozzle to flow out as a result of any relaxation of the nozzle material. It is furthermore possible to avoid such outflow of material by compensating for the relaxation and for the compressibility of the sealant material itself by suitable programmable control means.
- the apparatus is provided with means for detecting the position of the surface of the applied joint and thus the width and/or thickness of the joint.
- these means comprise a laser 13 for detecting the width of the joint 6, which is connected with the control means 9, 10 which in turn provides for an increase or a reduction of the flow of sealant discharged via the pump 7 in response to the signals from the position detecting means.
- the arrangement may be formed as a manually portable device.
- the nozzle and the container may be mounted on a respective side of the housing of the pump.
- Such a device may e.g. be designed for do-it-yourself purposes.
- an assembly comprising the pump 107, the motor 108, nozzles 104a and 104b, and the control means illustrated by the encoder generally designated 111 is suspended on a supporting structure 120, such that the movable assembly may be moved along the application path by e.g. pulling and pushing the supporting structure in a manner that will be described in further detail in the following.
- the encoder 111 incorporating a rotatable encoder wheel Ilia, which during application is in contact with the frame 101, is connected with an intermediate element 114 by means of an arm 112.
- the arm 112 is connected with the intermediate element 114 in a pivot joint 112a, which allows the arm 112 and consequently the encoder 111 to be rotated around the pivot joint 112a, partly in order to allow movement of the movable assembly without activating the motor and thus the pump, partly in order to be able to allow the arrangement to be used in connection with elements having differing dimensions, in particular in the height direction.
- a rotatable disc 115 is provided at the under side of the intermediate element 114.
- the disc 115 carries two nozzles 104a and 104b.
- the nozzles 104a, 104b may e.g. have different lengths and opening areas in order to provide a possibility of adjusting the flow of sealant without having to adjust e.g. the rotational speed of the motor 108.
- the supporting structure 120 comprises a linkage mechanism including a number of arms 122, 123 and 124 that are connected with each other in joints 122a and 122b.
- the upper arm 124 is connected with a supporting element 125 by means of a joint 122c.
- the joints 122a, 122b, 122c allow mutual movement of the arms 122, 123 and 124 in three dimensions such that the entire movable assembly may be lifted and lowered, and moved along an arbitrary application path.
- the supporting element 125 may e.g. be connected with a wall or the ceiling (not shown) , or form part of a transportable unit that may be wheeled or other- wise transported from one place to another.
- the lower arm 122 is connected with an element 121 which in turn is connected with e.g. the housing of the motor 108, or with any other part of the movable assembly by means of fixation member 126.
- the sealant container in the form of a hose 103 is connected with a connecting element 121a on the element 121 and is in a not-shown manner guided in or along the arms to a supply source (not shown) .
- the hose 103 is con- nected with the inlet side of the pump 107.
- the movable assembly may be moved into the appropriate position and along the desired application path by means of a handle 127.
- the arrangement described in connection with Fig. 4 may as is the case in the above embodiment be provided with means for detecting the position of the surface of the applied joint and thus the width and/or thickness of the joint, e.g. comprising a la- ser for detecting the width and/or thickness of the applied joint 6.
