They are then fixed by suction on the press plates. For this purpose, a plurality of openings is distributed over the press plates, which are connected to a fan. Air can either be sucked or blown through the openings of the press plates.
  • a gas filling bar which rises from below is pressed tightly, by means of which the lower section of the gap is sealed. From below, a heavy gas is introduced ascending between the two glass panels. Has the heavy gas displaced the air from the space between the two glass panels, the press plates are brought closer to each other to a distance which coincides with the thickness of the manufactured insulating glass and thereby the insulating glass is closed and pressed. Thereafter, the gas filling bar is lowered again, the hanging sealing devices are moved back to their original position, the suction process on one of the pressing plates is terminated and both pressing plates are moved back into their V-shaped starting position, wherein one of the pressing plates entrains the insulating glass pane.
  • the two rows of driven rollers are moved back to their original position at the bottom of the press plates.

  • the present invention has for its object to provide a way how the cycle time and thus the performance of a production line for insulating glass panes, which includes a device for assembling and pressing of insulating glass panes, which is preferably also adapted for gas filling, increased without much effort and the production of insulating glass panes can be cheapened without this being achieved with a loss of quality of the insulating glass panes.
  • the glass sheets for two or more than two insulating glass panes are positioned on a section of the horizontal conveyor located in front of the assembly and pressing device opposite each other in pairs in a V-shaped arrangement and in pairs, and then jointly and concurrently conveyed into the assembly and pressing device and there stopped.
  • the converted into the assembly and pressing device glass plates transferred by pivoting one of the two press plates in a mutually parallel position, then further approximated by parallel displacement of the movable pressure plate to a predetermined small distance, in which between the respective Spacer and the glass panel opposite him is still sufficient for the gas filling gap, for example, 2 mm to 6 mm wide.
  • the space between the pairs of glass sheets can be filled from below with a heavy gas, and then by further parallel displacement of the movable press plate Close the insulating glass panes against the fixed pressure plate and press.

It is located, the slider 48 opposite, in a vertically extending slot 62 of the fixed pressure plate, in which it can be pushed back and forth by means of two pressure medium cylinder 63. One of the pressure cylinder 63 is shown in Figure 19 and located at the lower end of the sealing strip 52. In a similar manner, there is a second pressure cylinder at the upper end of the sealing strip, which in FIG. 19 not shown.

  • the device for assembling and pressing insulating glass panes works as follows:
  • Glass panel pairs with which the buffer station has been occupied are conveyed by concurrently driving the horizontal conveyors 30 and 40 into the assembling and pressing apparatus and positioned there so that the front glass panels A1 / A2 lie with their front edge at the front edge of the press plates 1a and 2a.
  • the press plate 2a is then initially in the in FIG. 11 illustrated starting position.
  • the movable pressure plate 2a is now first pivoted into an intermediate position which approximates and is parallel to the first pressure plate 1a.
  • the first glass sheet 24 is lifted off the belt 40a.
  • the movable pressure plate 2a After pivoting in the parallel position is the movable pressure plate 2a parallel to itself further approximates the fixed pressure plate 1a to a second intermediate position in which only a few millimeters wide gap remains between the first glass plate 24 and the spacer 27, for example a gap width of 2 mm up to 6 mm.
  • the two intermediate positions of the first glass panel 24 are in the FIG. 11 shown in dashed lines.
  • FIG. 12 the second intermediate position of the movable press plate 2a is shown. In this second intermediate position, the gas filling can take place.
  • the sealing strip 54 (see Figure 18) is first applied to the front edge of the two press plates 1a and 2a and placed on the belt 40a to complete the device there.
  • the gap between the first glass sheet 24 and the belt 40a is between about 2 mm to about 5 mm wide, depending on the thickness of the insulating glass sheet to be produced, which is a uniform, almost unpressurized Supplying the gas in the space between the glass sheets 24 and 25 sufficient to displace over the entire length of the glass sheet pairs without major swirling the lighter air up and quickly achieve a high Schwerergas circulllgrad with low heavy gas losses.
  • the heavy gas can not rise to the upper edge of the highest glass panel pair A1 / A2, but the supply of heavy gas can be stopped even at a lower level 53, as in FIG.
  • the heavy gas located between the pairs of glass sheets is additionally displaced upward by this closing movement and leads to a complete or almost complete Filling the insulating glass panes with heavy gas.
  • the volume of gas to be displaced when closing the insulating glass panes can be easily calculated and taken into account in the dimensioning of the heavy gas supply.
  • the sealing strip 52 When closing the insulating glass panes, the sealing strip 52 is first pushed back by a corresponding amount in the fixed pressure plate 1a and, after the insulating glass panes are closed and pressed, completely withdrawn into the fixed pressure plate 1a. By closing the insulating glass panes, the level 53 of the heavy gas rises above the upper edge of the highest insulating glass pane A1 / A2, as shown in FIG.
  • the glass sheets in the assembling and pressing apparatus are not perpendicular to the belt 40a, but inclined and press only with one of their lower edges on the belt 40a, they can be conveyed without slip, so that their exact Alignment with each other is not lost. They can also be filled in an advantageous and previously unknown in the prior art manner from below over its full length with heavy gas, without having for a permeable belt, which is pulled away over a gas filling channel, or two spaced parallel running belt in the horizontal conveyor would require between which heavy gas between the glass panels could be initiated.
  • a unitary, absolutely dense belt 40a can be used as the conveying member because the heavy gas can be easily introduced from the side of the movable pressing plate 2a through a gap between the belt 40a and one of the glass sheets 24.
  • This allows a much simpler structure of the gas filling assembly and pressing device than previously known in the art and allowed by the simultaneous filling of two or more than two insulating glass panes with heavy gas short cycle times and a cheaper IG production than before, especially in the manufacture of Insulating glass panes with common standard dimensions.
  • the invention is very versatile, because it can not only rectangular insulating glass panes are made, but also so-called model discs, which have a shape deviating from the rectangular shape outline.
  • FIGS. 7 to 10 and 15 to 17 shown Examples of these are in the FIGS. 7 to 10 and 15 to 17 shown.
  • insulating glass panes large enough to accommodate only one of them in the assembling and pressing apparatus, as in a conventional insulating glass manufacturing line. This can for example be done so that the two glass sheets are successively conveyed against the immovable support means by the mating station and the buffer station into the assembly and pressing device and only there in pairs opposite each other positioned by the movable pressure plate 2a, the first run-in Sucking in glass takes over and thus creates space for moving the second, with a spacer occupied glass panel.
  • the heavy gas can rise between parallel glass plates in a uniform upward flow without major turbulence and displace the lighter air upwards without mixing too much with it.
