Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and an apparatus for producing insulating glass panes of at least two glass plates, between which an elastoplastisch.es tape is arranged as a spacer.
  • the spacers between a two or more glass panes comprising Isolierglas ⁇ unit of aluminum or .Stahlhohlprofilen.
  • DE-A-30 02 904 already discloses a spacer which is often referred to as a "swiggle strip" in the form of a strip with a rectangular cross-section which, provided with protective films, comes from a supply drum or reel and has a support drum a reversible head etc.
  • This strip-shaped spacer on the basis of butyl rubber is tough-plastic, strongly adhesive (which is desirable for creating a gas-tight connection, first with the first and later the second glass pane of the insulating glass unit), but has a strongly temperature-dependent viscosity.
  • the adhesive applied to the two narrow sides of the strip is not water vapor diffusion-tight. Presumably, it is a rapidly polymerizing adhesive varnish based on methacrylates. Therefore, so far after Caribbean ⁇ construction of the insulating glass, the remaining edge joint filled with a sealant, which ensures the imperatively necessary WasserdampfdiffusionsdDT because an ⁇ otherwise in the course of time water vapor penetrates into the closed interior of the insulating glass and unavoidable to the formation of Condensation and thus Un ⁇ usability of the disc leads.
  • suitable edge joint fillers are expensive and are required in large quantities because of the considerable cross section of the edge joint.
  • an elastoplastic belt does not have a normal rectangular cross-section but rather a (weakly) stepped rectangular cross-section or even a trapezoidal cross-section.
  • Each of the two side faces therefore consists of two strip-shaped partial surfaces, of which the partial surface corresponding to the greater width of the strip is preferably already coated on the manufacturer side with the strongly adhesive adhesive with a layer thickness of normally significantly less than 1/10 mm, while the other, on the other hand reset or deeper strip-shaped partial surface then in the delivery state of the tape is adhesive-free.
  • a second adhesive is applied to the bilateral, deep-lying strip-shaped partial surfaces of the side surfaces, which ensures the necessary water vapor diffusion tightness.
  • the layer thickness of this adhesive is usually in the range of a few tenths of a millimeter.
  • the band is narrower in the region of the two-sided partial surfaces, so that the application of the second adhesive at least approximately equalizes the step between the two partial surfaces.
  • the strongly adhesive, film-like adhesive ensures that the strip adheres exactly and unobtrusively in its predetermined position on the first glass pane and the second adhesive ensures the diffusion-tight connection of the strip or spacer with the glass pane.
  • An ⁇ closing the remaining edge joint is filled as before with a sealant, but which does not have to be water vapor diffusion tight and therefore cheaper than the previously required sealing compounds may be.
  • a butyl adhesive is used as the adhesive (An ⁇ claim 2), as he has already proven to coat the side surfaces of said spacer frame of hollow metal profiles.
  • the band is preferably put on the first glass pane by means of an automatically operating application station and pressed against it (claim 3).
  • the amount of adhesive applied to the belt is appropriately regulated as a function of the belt transport speed (claim 4), uzw. so that the result is a very constant adhesive layer thickness. That can be in that the amount of adhesive consumed per unit of time for the application is kept proportional to the speed of the tape transport, that is to say zero, in particular when the belt is stationary.
  • the thickness of the adhesive coating is kept approximately constant regardless of the transport speed (claim 5).
  • the latter can be achieved, in particular, in such a way that the actual value of the thickness of the coating is measured and the deviation from a predefined setpoint value is used as an error signal for keeping the coating thickness constant (claim 6).
  • Suitable Schichtdickenmessver- methods are known per se.
  • the object underlying the invention is further achieved by a device comprising a supply reel for the tape, a plurality of driven tape guide rollers and a movable relative to a first glass pressure head for the tape, characterized in that between the Vorrats ⁇ reel and the pressure head opposite each other Nozzles for coating the deeper, strip-shaped partial surfaces of the side surfaces of the strip are arranged with a water-vapor-diffusion-proof adhesive (claim 7).
  • the coating nozzles may in particular be associated with means for controlling the flow of adhesive as a function of the belt transport speed (claim 8).
  • a height guide for the band be arranged (claim 10), which may consist only of a simple, horizontal support web, a support role on which rests the tape or from a pair of rollers between which the tape passes, if necessary.
  • roller pairs may also be arranged downstream of the coating nozzles for lateral guidance of the belt, the rollers of which then suitably touch the belt only at the edges of the belt side surfaces ( Claim 11), to avoid contamination of the rollers by the freshly applied adhesive layer and, conversely, the damage last.
  • an adhesive strand can be applied centrally to each of the partial surfaces of the side surfaces of the strip whose cross-section is dimensioned such that when the strip is pressed against the first glass pane or when the second glass pane is pressed against the other side surface of the strip Bandes forms a uniform adhesive layer aus ⁇ without glue over the edges of the Bandrben ⁇ surfaces swells. In general, however, it is easier to form the coating nozzles as slit nozzles (claim 12).
  • the slit width of the coating nozzles can be smaller than the width of the relevant partial surfaces of the side surfaces of the strip (claim 13), so that the respective coating does not quite reach the edges of the strip side surfaces, provided that the adhesive application is not excessive enough.
  • further lateral guide means for example the above-mentioned pairs of rollers with suitable, eg V-shaped profiling, do not come into contact with the adhesive coating and therefore do not become dirty.
  • a device for measuring the thickness of the coating which regulates the adhesive flow through the coating nozzles, can be arranged after the coating nozzles (claim 14).
  • Figure 1 is a greatly simplified side view of a device for applying a Abstand ⁇ halterbandes
  • FIG. 1 shows the spacer tape with protective films
  • FIGS. 2a, 2b show further embodiments of the spacer band in cross section
  • FIG. 3 shows the spacer strip according to FIG. 2 between the coating nozzles on a greatly enlarged scale
  • Figure 4 is a downstream pair of rollers for lateral
  • an elastoplastic belt 1 with the stepped rectangular cross-section shown in FIG. 2 is drawn off from a supply reel 2, which is seated on a driven shaft 3, via a travel measuring device 4 and indicated guide rollers 5.
  • the two side surfaces of the band 1 described in more detail below with reference to Figures 2 to 4 are each covered with a protective film Ia, Ib (cf., Fig. 2), which are withdrawn before or after the displacement measuring device 4 and Disposal can be wound up. This is known and therefore not shown.
  • the belt 1 passes into a coating station 10, which is connected via a line 14 to a pump 15 on a container 13 containing a butyl adhesive.
  • the column 22 is slightly inclined to the vertical and parallel to a conventional support wall 23, for example a Heilkissenstütz- wall resting on a machine frame 24.
  • a glass plate 40 Against the support wall 23 leans a glass plate 40, the lower edge of which rests on the indicated roller conveyor 25.
  • a vacuum conveyor 26 in a known manner, which is displaceable on horizontal bars 27, the glass plate 40 is reversibly transportable.
  • the pressure head 20 is in turn turnable about a right angle to the column 22 axis.
  • the tape 1 is pressed peripherally circumferentially on the glass plate 40, as is well known.
  • the device also comprises a station for applying the highly adhesive, film-like adhesive 50 in Fig. 2 and following. Then the tape is delivered glue-free and without protective foils.
  • the coating station 10 can also be integrated in the pressing head 20, so that the coating with the butyl adhesive takes place only immediately before the band is pressed against the glass plate 40.
  • Figure 2 shows a cross section through the band 1 in the Anlie ⁇ ferMap, so usually rolled up on the reel 2 in Figure 1.
  • the band has a weakly stepped rectangular cross-section.
  • the representation is not to scale.
  • Each of the two side surfaces is subdivided into a strip-shaped partial surface 1.1 and an adjoining partial surface 1.2 which is recessed or lowered by a few tens of millimeters.
  • On each of the subareas 1.1 there is a very thin layer of an adhesive 50, which has a very high adhesion and strongly adheres to glass after the removal of the already mentioned protective films 1a, 1b.
  • the faces 1.1 and 1.2 can, as shown, be about the same width.
  • the strip 1.1 can also be narrower in favor of a larger width of the strip 1.2.
  • the illustrated, stepped rectangular cross section is beispiel ⁇ haft.
  • the strip may also have the double stepped or grooved cross section shown in FIG. 2a, wherein the groove may also be formed as a groove instead of the illustrated rectangular cross section.
  • the slightly trapezoidal cross section shown in FIG. 2b also comes into consideration.
  • FIG. 3 schematically shows that in the coating station
  • Butyl- Adhesive through each of the nozzles 11 and 12 is controlled by means of actuators driven slide 11.1 and 12.1 in the manner or controllable that the side surfaces of the belt 1, each with an adhesive layer 60 substantially constant, that is independent of the instantaneous speed of the belt 1 thickness coated become.
  • the drive motors of the slide 11.1 and 12.1 and, if appropriate, downstream thickness measuring devices are connected to the machine control (not shown).
  • the nozzles are to adjust the distance of their mouths on bands of different width according to the- double arrows movable.
  • At least the roller pairs arranged downstream of the coating station 10, such as 6 and 7 in FIG. 1, are provided with a wedge-shaped profiled running surface for lateral guidance of the belt 1, so that the illustrated rollers 6.1 and 6.2 only strip the belt at the edges of the belt side surfaces touch.
  • the rollers e.g. the rollers 6.1 and 6.2 can be free-running or seated on the shafts of unillustrated drive motors which maintain the peripheral speed of the rollers synchronously and in accordance with the instantaneous or instantaneous tape running speed.
