Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for assembling sashes with integrated insulating glass, which has a frame formed of plastic hollow sections with an inner side, an inner side facing away from the inside and two flanks, which connect the inside and the outside together, the frame on its inside has two mutually parallel webs, which form an all-round boundary of the window opening of the window sash and are glued to two glass panels, which are held by the two webs at a distance.
  • the US 6,286,288 B1 and the US 7,097,724 B2 disclose such casements for sash windows and methods of manufacture known as "sashlite".
  • a rectangular or square frame is first formed from an extruded plastic hollow profile by the four legs of the frame are cut from the plastic hollow profile and welded at their ends to form the corners of the frame in pairs with each other by ultrasound.
  • the frame has on its inside two parallel webs.
  • a pasty adhesive is injected, in which a moisture-binding material, in particular molecular sieves in powder form, is stored.
  • a strand of a sealant and adhesive On the outside of the two webs is circumferentially applied to all four legs of the frame, a strand of a sealant and adhesive, with which two glass sheets are glued to the two webs, which serve as a spacer for the two glass sheets.
  • sealant Such a sealant and adhesive is hereinafter referred to as sealant. It has the task of establishing a firm bond between the inwardly directed webs of the frame and the glass sheets and the gap between the webs and the glass sheets against the ingress of moisture and against a loss of a heavy gas, which optionally filled in the space between the glass sheets is to seal.
  • the prefabricated frame is placed on a horizontal conveyor track and conveyed to a processing station, in which first the adhesive, which contains the moisture-binding material is injected at all four legs of the frame in the space between the two webs, which to the opposite leg of the Frame is open. Thereafter, a strand of the sealant is applied to the top of the two webs and glued a first glass sheet on it. Then the frame on the horizontal conveyor track is turned over, so that the web with the first glass panel adhering thereto is at the bottom and the second of the two parallel webs is at the top. Then, one strand of the sealing compound is applied to the now uppermost web and the second glass sheet is glued to this strand.
  • One of the two webs outside the area, which is covered by the glass panels a hole which leads into the space between the glass panels. Through this hole, the gap between the two glass sheets can be vented when the two glass sheets are pressed against the webs, whereby the gap between the glass sheets is reduced.
  • the pressing of the glass panels is z. B. in that in the region of the two webs with rollers is acted upon on the glass sheets and thereby the glass sheets are pressed against the webs, whereby the sealing compound pressed flat and the gap between the two glass sheets is sealed.
  • cover strips are inserted into the frame, which cover the edge of the glass panels to the outside.

This makes it possible to independently move the two glass sheets and the frame, although this should be avoided as far as possible for reasons of short cycle time of the apparatus. For the purpose of adjustment, however, the possibility of moving the glass panels and the frame independently is welcome.
  • the three-lane horizontal conveyor three juxtaposed conveyor belt, the upper run are in a common plane. This makes it easier to connect the device to upstream sections of a production line on which the glass sheets and the frames are prepared for assembly and most easily conveyed at the same level. The required different orientation of the glass sheets on the one hand and the frame on the other hand in their height relative to each other is then finally carried out in the device according to the invention.
  • the supporting elements which are to support and guide the glass sheets and the frame at some distance from the horizontal conveyor, preferably near its upper edge, are preferably free-running rollers whose axes are arranged perpendicularly or a few degrees to the vertical inclined backwards .
  • the slight inclination to the rear has the advantage that the glass panels and the frame with appropriate inclination can be applied to the free-running rollers, which - especially during conveying - secures against tipping forward.
  • the upper runners of the conveyor belts should be tilted backwards so that the axles of the free-running rollers are perpendicular to the common plane of the upper runners.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Zusammenbauen von Fensterflügeln mit integrierter Isolierglasscheibe, welcher einen aus Kunststoff-Hohlprofilen gebildeten Rahmen mit einer Innenseite, einer der Innenseite abgewandten Außenseite und zwei Flanken hat, welche die Innenseite und die Außenseite miteinander verbinden, wobei der Rahmen auf seiner Innenseite zwei zueinander parallele Stege hat, welche eine allseitige Begrenzung der Fensteröffnung des Fensterflügels bilden und mit zwei Glastafeln verklebt sind, welche durch die beiden Stege auf Abstand gehalten sind. Die US 6,286,288 B1 und die US 7,097,724 B2 offenbaren solche Fensterflügel für Schiebefenster und Verfahren zu ihrer Herstellung, die unter der Bezeichnung "sashlite" bekannt sind.The invention relates to a device for assembling sashes with integrated insulating glass, which has a frame formed of plastic hollow sections with an inner side, an inner side facing away from the inside and two flanks, which connect the inside and the outside together, the frame on its inside has two mutually parallel webs, which form an all-round boundary of the window opening of the window sash and are glued to two glass panels, which are held by the two webs at a distance. The US 6,286,288 B1 and the US 7,097,724 B2 disclose such casements for sash windows and methods of manufacture known as "sashlite".

Beim sashlite-Verfahren wird aus einem extrudierten Kunststoff-Hohlprofil zunächst ein rechteckiger oder quadratischer Rahmen gebildet, indem aus dem Kunststoff-Hohlprofil die vier Schenkel des Rahmens zugeschnitten und an ihren Enden zur Bildung der Ecken des Rahmens paarweise miteinander durch Ultraschall verschweißt werden. Der Rahmen hat auf seiner Innenseite zwei zueinander parallele Stege. In den Zwischenraum zwischen diesen beiden Stegen wird eine pastöse Klebemasse gespritzt, in welche ein Feuchtigkeit bindendes Material, insbesondere Molekularsiebe in Pulverform, eingelagert ist. Auf die Außenseite der beiden Stege wird umlaufend, an allen vier Schenkeln des Rahmens, ein Strang aus einer Dicht- und Klebemasse aufgetragen, mit welcher zwei Glastafeln auf die beiden Stege geklebt werden, welche als Abstandhalter für die beiden Glastafeln dienen. Eine solche Dicht- und Klebemasse wird nachfolgend als Versiegelungsmasse bezeichnet. Sie hat die Aufgabe, einen festen Verbund zwischen den nach innen gerichteten Stegen des Rahmens und den Glastafeln herzustellen und den Spalt zwischen den Stegen und den Glastafeln gegen das Eindringen von Feuchtigkeit und gegen einen Verlust eines Schwergases, das gegebenenfalls in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Glastafeln eingefüllt ist, abzudichten.In the sashlite method, a rectangular or square frame is first formed from an extruded plastic hollow profile by the four legs of the frame are cut from the plastic hollow profile and welded at their ends to form the corners of the frame in pairs with each other by ultrasound. The frame has on its inside two parallel webs. In the space between these two webs, a pasty adhesive is injected, in which a moisture-binding material, in particular molecular sieves in powder form, is stored. On the outside of the two webs is circumferentially applied to all four legs of the frame, a strand of a sealant and adhesive, with which two glass sheets are glued to the two webs, which serve as a spacer for the two glass sheets. Such a sealant and adhesive is hereinafter referred to as sealant. It has the task of establishing a firm bond between the inwardly directed webs of the frame and the glass sheets and the gap between the webs and the glass sheets against the ingress of moisture and against a loss of a heavy gas, which optionally filled in the space between the glass sheets is to seal.

Der vorgefertigte Rahmen wird auf eine waagerechte Förderbahn gelegt und zu einer Bearbeitungsstation gefördert, in welcher zunächst die Klebemasse, welche das Feuchtigkeit bindende Material enthält, an allen vier Schenkeln des Rahmens in den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Stegen gespritzt wird, welcher zum jeweils gegenüberliegenden Schenkel des Rahmens offen ist. Danach wird ein Strang aus der Versiegelungsmasse auf den oben liegenden der beiden Stege aufgetragen und eine erste Glastafel darauf geklebt. Dann wird der Rahmen auf der waagerechten Förderbahn umgedreht, so dass der Steg mit der daran klebenden ersten Glastafel unten liegt und der zweite der beiden parallelen Stege oben liegt. Dann wird auf den nun oben liegenden Steg umlaufend ein Strang aus der Versiegelungsmasse aufgetragen und die zweite Glastafel auf diesen Strang geklebt.The prefabricated frame is placed on a horizontal conveyor track and conveyed to a processing station, in which first the adhesive, which contains the moisture-binding material is injected at all four legs of the frame in the space between the two webs, which to the opposite leg of the Frame is open. Thereafter, a strand of the sealant is applied to the top of the two webs and glued a first glass sheet on it. Then the frame on the horizontal conveyor track is turned over, so that the web with the first glass panel adhering thereto is at the bottom and the second of the two parallel webs is at the top. Then, one strand of the sealing compound is applied to the now uppermost web and the second glass sheet is glued to this strand.

Einer der beiden Stege hat außerhalb des Bereiches, der von den Glastafeln überdeckt ist, eine Bohrung, welche in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Glastafeln führt. Durch diese Bohrung kann der Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Glastafeln entlüftet werden, wenn die beiden Glastafeln gegen die Stege gedrückt werden, wodurch der Zwischenraum zwischen den Glastafeln verkleinert wird. Das Andrücken der Glastafeln erfolgt z. B. dadurch, dass im Bereich der beiden Stege mit Rollen auf die Glastafeln eingewirkt wird und dadurch die Glastafeln gegen die Stege gedrückt werden, wodurch die Versiegelungsmasse platt gedrückt und der Spalt zwischen den beiden Glastafeln abgedichtet wird. Als andere Möglichkeit, die beiden Glastafeln eines sashlite-Fensters an die beiden Stege des Fensterrahmens zu drücken, ist es bekannt, durch die Bohrung, die in einem der Stege vorgesehen ist, Luft aus dem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Glastafeln zu saugen, so dass in dem Zwischenraum ein Unterdruck entsteht, welcher die Glastafeln gegen die Stege zieht und dadurch die Versiegelungsmasse platt drückt.One of the two webs outside the area, which is covered by the glass panels, a hole which leads into the space between the glass panels. Through this hole, the gap between the two glass sheets can be vented when the two glass sheets are pressed against the webs, whereby the gap between the glass sheets is reduced. The pressing of the glass panels is z. B. in that in the region of the two webs with rollers is acted upon on the glass sheets and thereby the glass sheets are pressed against the webs, whereby the sealing compound pressed flat and the gap between the two glass sheets is sealed. As another way to press the two glass panels of a sashlite window to the two webs of the window frame, it is known through the bore, which is provided in one of the webs, air from the To suck space between the two glass panels, so that in the space creates a negative pressure, which pulls the glass panels against the webs, thereby pressing the sealant flat.

Beim sashlite-Verfahren ist es weiterhin bekannt, in die Bohrung in einem der beiden Stege des Fensterrahmens zwei Röhrchen zu stecken. Durch eines der Röhrchen wird ein Schwergas, z.B. Argon, in den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Glastafeln geblasen, durch das andere Röhrchen wird Luft oder ein Gemisch aus Luft und dem Schwergas aus dem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Glastafeln abgesaugt. Dadurch wird die Luft im Zwischenraum zwischen den Glastafeln teilweise durch das Schwergas zu ersetzt, wodurch der Wärmeübergang zwischen den beiden Glastafeln erschwert wird. Nach einem solchen Gasaustausch wird die Bohrung in dem Steg des Rahmens versiegelt.When sashlite method, it is also known to put two tubes in the hole in one of the two webs of the window frame. Through one of the tubes, a heavy gas, e.g. Argon, blown into the gap between the two sheets of glass, air or a mixture of air and the heavy gas is sucked out of the space between the two glass panels by the other tube. As a result, the air in the space between the glass panels is partially replaced by the heavy gas, whereby the heat transfer between the two glass panels is difficult. After such gas exchange, the bore is sealed in the web of the frame.

Als letztes werden noch Abdeckleisten in den Rahmen eingefügt, welche den Rand der Glastafeln nach außen hin abdecken. Der Fensterflügel mit integrierter Isolierglasscheibe ist damit fertig gestellt.Finally, cover strips are inserted into the frame, which cover the edge of the glass panels to the outside. The sash with integrated insulating glass is completed.

Das bekannte sashlite-Verfahren wird weitgehend manuell durchgeführt. Nachteilig ist, dass die Personalkosten hoch und Qualitätsmängel unvermeidlich sind.The known sashlite method is largely performed manually. The disadvantage is that the personnel costs are high and quality defects are inevitable.

  • and with suckers which are provided on both the front frame and the rear frame, and of which the suckers attached to the front frame face the rear frame, while the suckers provided on the rear frame face the front frame.

Die Erfindung hat wesentliche Vorteile:

  • Das Aufstellen des Rahmens und der Glastafeln in senkrechter Lage oder in einer wenige Grade gegen die Senkrechte geneigten Lage und das Durchführen der zu einem zusammengebauten Fensterflügel führende Arbeitsschritte in einer solchen Vorrichtung, in welcher die Rahmen und Glastafeln senkrecht oder annährend senkrecht aufgestellt zusammengebaut werden, ist eine Grundlage für eine wesentliche Rationalisierung des Zusammenbauvorgangs.
  • Es werden Personalkosten eingespart.
  • Die maschinell erfolgenden Arbeitsschritte im Zusammenbauvorgang sind von individuellen Schwächen und Fehlern des Bedienungspersonals unabhängig.
  • Die Qualität der Fensterflügel, die in der neuen Vorrichtung zusammengebaut werden, wird wesentlich gesteigert und die Lebensdauer der integrierten Isolierglasscheibe wird erheblich verlängert.
  • In der neuen Vorrichtung können die Rahmen und Glastafeln unabhängig voneinander maschinell bewegt und vor dem Zusammenbauen justiert werden. Justierfehler können auf diese Weise weitgehend ausgeschlossen werden.
  • Durch die vorgesehenen verschiebbaren Traversen sowohl am vorderen Gestell als auch am hinteren Gestell kann die Vorrichtung leicht an wechselnde Formate der Rahmen und Glastafeln angepasst werden.
  • Dadurch, dass zwei unabhängig voneinander bewegbare Gestelle vorgesehen sind, von denen eines vor dem Waagerechtförderer und eines hinter dem Waagerechtförderer liegt, kann die Vorrichtung auch leicht auf wechselnde Dicken der Rahmen, auf wechselnde Dicken der Glastafeln und auf wechselnde Abstände der Glastafeln im Fensterflügel eingestellt werden.
  • Mit den vorgesehenen Stempeln können die Glastafeln gezielt dort, wo es nötig ist, nämlich im Randbereich der Glastafeln, mit gleichmäßigem Andruck mit dem Rahmen verklebt werden, wodurch eine wiederholbar gute und gleichmäßige Verklebung ermöglicht wird, die für die Abdichtung der integrierten Isolierglasscheibe wichtig ist.
  • Mit den Saugern können die Glastafeln in der Vorrichtung fixiert werden, nachdem sie in Förderrichtung genau positioniert wurden. Nach dem Fixieren der Glastafeln kann der Rahmen in der gewünschten Höhe relativ zu den Glastafeln ausgerichtet werden, in welcher ein exakter Zusammenbau mit wiederholbarer Genauigkeit möglich wird.
The invention has significant advantages:
  • The erection of the frame and the glass panels in a vertical position or in a position slightly inclined from the vertical and performing the operations leading to an assembled window sash in such an apparatus in which the frames and glass panels are assembled vertically or nearly perpendicularly is a basis for a significant rationalization of the assembly process.
  • Personnel costs are saved.
  • The automated operations in the assembly process are independent of individual weaknesses and operator errors.
  • The quality of the sashes, which are assembled in the new device is significantly increased and the life of the integrated insulating glass pane is considerably extended.
  • In the new apparatus, the frames and glass panels can be independently moved and adjusted prior to assembly. Alignment errors can be largely excluded in this way.
  • The provided movable trusses on both the front frame and the rear frame, the device can be easily adapted to changing formats of the frame and glass panels.
  • The fact that two independently movable racks are provided, one of which is located in front of the horizontal conveyor and one behind the horizontal conveyor, the device can also be easily adjusted to changing thicknesses of the frame, changing thicknesses of the glass panels and changing distances of the glass panels in the sash ,
  • With the provided stamps, the glass panels can be selectively bonded where necessary, namely in the edge region of the glass panels, with even pressure to the frame, whereby a repeatable good and uniform bonding is possible, which is important for the sealing of the integrated insulating glass.
  • With the suckers, the glass sheets can be fixed in the device after they have been accurately positioned in the conveying direction. After fixing the glass sheets, the frame can be aligned at the desired height relative to the glass sheets in which accurate assembly with repeatable accuracy becomes possible.

Der Waagerechtförderer ist vorzugsweise ein dreibahniger Waagerechtförderer. Das macht es möglich, die beiden Glastafeln und den Rahmen unabhängig voneinander zu bewegen, obwohl das aus Gründen einer kurzen Taktzeit der Vorrichtung nach Möglichkeit vermieden werden sollte. Zum Zwecke der Justierung ist die Möglichkeit, die Glastafeln und den Rahmen unabhängig voneinander zu bewegen, jedoch willkommen.The horizontal conveyor is preferably a three-track horizontal conveyor. This makes it possible to independently move the two glass sheets and the frame, although this should be avoided as far as possible for reasons of short cycle time of the apparatus. For the purpose of adjustment, however, the possibility of moving the glass panels and the frame independently is welcome.

Vorzugsweise hat der dreibahnige Waagerechtförderer drei nebeneinander liegende Förderriemen, deren Obertrums in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen. Das erleichtert es, die Vorrichtung an vorgeschaltete Abschnitte einer Fertigungslinie anzuschließen, auf welchen die Glastafeln und die Rahmen für den Zusammenbau vorbereitet und am einfachsten auf gleichem Niveau gefördert werden. Die erforderliche unterschiedliche Ausrichtung der Glastafeln einerseits und der Rahmen andererseits in ihrer Höhe relativ zueinander wird dann abschließend in der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung durchgeführt.Preferably, the three-lane horizontal conveyor three juxtaposed conveyor belt, the upper run are in a common plane. This makes it easier to connect the device to upstream sections of a production line on which the glass sheets and the frames are prepared for assembly and most easily conveyed at the same level. The required different orientation of the glass sheets on the one hand and the frame on the other hand in their height relative to each other is then finally carried out in the device according to the invention.

Die Stützelemente, die die Glastafeln und den Rahmen in einigem Abstand vom Waagerechtförderer, vorzugsweise in der Nähe ihres oberen Randes, stützen und führen sollen, sind vorzugsweise frei laufende Rollen, deren Achsen senkrecht bzw. um einige Grade gegen die Senkrechte nach hinten geneigt angeordnet sind. Die leichte Neigung nach hinten hat den Vorteil, dass die Glastafeln und die Rahmen mit entsprechender Neigung an die frei laufenden Rollen angelegt werden können, was sie - insbesondere beim Fördern - gegen ein Abkippen nach vorne sichert. Die Obertrums der Förderriemen sollten entsprechend nach hinten geneigt sein, damit die Achsen der frei laufenden Rollen senkrecht auf der gemeinsamen Ebene der Obertrums liegen.The supporting elements, which are to support and guide the glass sheets and the frame at some distance from the horizontal conveyor, preferably near its upper edge, are preferably free-running rollers whose axes are arranged perpendicularly or a few degrees to the vertical inclined backwards , The slight inclination to the rear has the advantage that the glass panels and the frame with appropriate inclination can be applied to the free-running rollers, which - especially during conveying - secures against tipping forward. The upper runners of the conveyor belts should be tilted backwards so that the axles of the free-running rollers are perpendicular to the common plane of the upper runners.

Sowohl beim vorderen Gestell als auch beim hinteren Gestell der Vorrichtung ist ein Teil der Stempel vorzugsweise auf Schiebern montiert, von denen jeweils einer auf der feststehenden unteren Traverse, einer auf der beweglichen waagerechten Traverse, einer an der beweglichen aufragenden Traverse und einer an dem ihr gegenüberliegenden aufragenden Pfosten des Gestells längs verschiebbar ist und ein Scherengitter schleppt, das durch die Verschiebebewegung seine Ausdehnung ändert und an welchem weitere Stempel angebracht sind, deren gegenseitiger Abstand und deren Abstand von den auf dem jeweiligen Schieber montierten Stempeln sich durch die Bewegung des Schiebers ändert. Die Bewegung der Schieber kann mit der Bewegung der beweglichen Traversen gekoppelt sein. Sie hat den Vorteil, dass durch die Änderung des Ausdehnung des Scherengitters erreicht werden kann, dass die Stempel, welche die Glastafeln gegen die Stege des Rahmens pressen sollen, in hinreichend gleichmäßigen Abständen auf den Randbereich der Glastafeln einwirken und somit eine gleichmäßige Verpressung der Versieglungsmasse zwischen den Glastafeln und den Stegen des Rahmens gewährleisten.In both the front frame and the rear frame of the device, a part of the punches is preferably mounted on slides, one each on the stationary lower cross member, one on the movable horizontal cross member, one on the movable upright cross member and one on the opposite one protruding post of the frame is longitudinally displaceable and dragging a scissor lattice, which changes its extension by the sliding movement and to which further punches are attached, whose mutual distance and their distance from the punches mounted on the respective slide changes by the movement of the slider. The movement of the slides can be coupled with the movement of the movable trusses. It has the advantage that can be achieved by changing the extension of the scissor lattice, that the punch, which should press the glass sheets against the webs of the frame, acting at sufficiently uniform intervals on the edge region of the glass sheets and thus a uniform compression of the sealing compound between ensure the glass panels and the bars of the frame.

Vorzugsweise sind an der beweglichen waagerechten Traverse sowohl des vorderen Gestells als auch des hinteren Gestells Justiereinrichtungen vorgesehen sind, welche Arme, insbesondere in Gestalt von Leisten, haben, welche von der verschiebbaren waagerechten Traverse des vorderen Gestells quer zur Förderrichtung des Waagerechtförderers in Richtung zum gegenüberliegenden hinteren Gestell vorgeschoben werden können, wohingegen die an der waagerechten verschiebbaren Traverse des hinteren Gestells vorgesehenen Justiereinrichtungen ihre Arme quer zur Förderrichtung des Waagerechtförderers in Richtung zum gegenüberliegenden vorderen Gestell vorschieben können. Dadurch kann der obere Schenkel des Rahmens in seiner für den Zusammenbau gewünschten Lage justiert und insbesondere ein Durchhang, den er haben könnte, ausgeglichen werden, indem die Arme der Justiereinrichtungen unter den oberen Schenkel des Rahmens bewegt werden, so dass dieser beim Absenken des Rahmens auf den Armen anschlägt, welche die Sollposition des oberen Rahmenschenkels festlegen.Preferably, adjusting means are provided on the movable horizontal traverse of both the front frame and the rear frame, which arms, in particular in the form of strips, which transverse to the conveying direction of the horizontal conveyor towards the opposite rear from the displaceable horizontal traverse of the front frame Frame can be advanced, whereas the provided on the horizontally displaceable traverse of the rear frame adjustment means can advance their arms transversely to the conveying direction of the horizontal conveyor towards the opposite front frame. Thereby, the upper leg of the frame adjusted in its desired position for assembly and in particular a slack, which he could have, be compensated by the arms of the adjusting means are moved under the upper leg of the frame, so that this when lowering the frame strikes the arms which define the desired position of the upper frame leg.

Die Justiereinrichtungen, die Stempel und die Sauger sind vorzugsweise einzeln betätigbar, insbesondere durch Pneumatikzylinder. Das erleichtert die Anpassung der Vorrichtung an unterschiedliche Formate der Glastafeln und Rahmen.The adjusting devices, the punches and the suckers are preferably individually operable, in particular by pneumatic cylinders. This facilitates the adaptation of the device to different formats of the glass panels and frames.

Der Wärmedurchgang durch Isolierglasscheiben kann verringert werden, wenn die Luft im Innenraum der Isolierglasscheibe ganz oder teilweise durch ein Schwergas ersetzt wird. Um das auch bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Fensterflügel zu ermöglichen, ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass entweder am vorderen Gestell oder am hinteren Gestell gegen das gegenüberliegende Gestell gerichtete Sauger vorgesehen sind, mit welchen eine benachbarte, auf dem Waagerechtförderer stehende Glastafel angesaugt und an zwei einander diagonal gegenüberliegenden Ecken nach hinten, d. h. von der gegenüberliegenden Glastafel weg, gebogen werden kann. In diesem Fall bleiben beim Zusammenbauen des Fensterflügels zunächst zwei Zugänge zum Innenraum offen, wobei durch einen Zugang, vorzugsweise durch den unteren Zugang, das Schwergas eingeleitet wird, welches dann im Zwischenraum zwischen den zwei Glastafeln hochsteigt und die Luft aus dem oberen Zugang verdrängt. Eine solche Ausgestaltung ist bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung besonders einfach möglich.The heat transmission through insulating glass panes can be reduced if the air in the interior of the insulating glass pane is completely or partially replaced by a heavy gas. In order to enable this even with a window sash according to the invention, it is preferably provided that provided either on the front frame or on the rear frame against the opposite frame directed suction are, with which an adjacent, sucked on the horizontal conveyor glass plate sucked and at two diagonally opposite corners to the rear, ie away from the opposite glass panel, can be bent. In this case, initially two accesses to the interior remain open when assembling the sash, wherein through an access, preferably through the lower access, the heavy gas is introduced, which then rises in the space between the two glass panels and displaces the air from the upper access. Such a configuration is particularly simple in the device according to the invention.

Aus Gründen der Vereinfachung ist in der vorliegenden Patentanmeldung von einem Fensterflügel die Rede. Der Begriff "Fensterflügel" soll sowohl schiebbare Flügel als auch schwenkbare Flügel ebenso wie Türflügel mit integrierter Isolierglasscheibe einschließen.For reasons of simplification in the present patent application of a casement is mentioned. The term "window sash" is intended to include both sliding sashes as well as hinged sashes as well as door sashes with integrated insulating glass.

Der erste Waagerechtförderer 1 besteht aus mehreren Abschnitten, beginnend mit einem Abschnitt 5, auf welchen die einzelnen Glastafeln 52, 53 nacheinander aufgegeben werden, aus einem Abschnitt, der durch eine Maschine 6 zum Waschen und Trocknen der Glastafeln hindurchführt, und aus zwei Abschnitten 7 und 8, die dem Zwischentransport und erforderlichenfalls auch einem Stauen der Glastafeln 52, 53 dient. Im Abschnitt 7 besteht darüber hinaus die Möglichkeit, zu überprüfen, ob die gewaschenen Glastafeln tatsächlich sauber sind. In den Abschnitten 5 bis 8 hat der erste Waagerechtförderer 1 eine waagerechte Zeile von synchron angetriebenen Rollen 9, welche sich in den Abschnitten 5, 7 und 8 am unteren Rand einer Stützwand 10 befinden, welche um wenige Grade, z. B. um 6°, gegen die Vertikale nach hinten geneigt ist und vorzugsweise als Luftkissenwand ausgebildet ist. Die Glastafeln werden auf den Rollen 9 stehend und gegen die Stützwand 10 gelehnt gefördert. In der Wasch- und Trockenmaschine 6 werden die Glastafeln in an sich bekannter Weise durch eine Anordnung von Waschbürsten und Rollen gestützt.The production line has a first horizontal conveyor 1 and an obliquely extending second horizontal conveyor 2, which open into a horizontally conveying switch 4, which connects to the third horizontal conveyor 3, which is arranged in alignment with the first horizontal conveyor 1. The first horizontal conveyor 1 consists of several sections, starting with a section 5, on which the individual glass panels 52, 53 are successively abandoned, from a section passing through a machine 6 for washing and drying the glass panels, and two sections 7 and 8, which serves for the intermediate transport and, if necessary, also a jamming of the glass panels 52, 53. In addition, in section 7 it is possible to check whether the washed glass panels are actually clean. In Sections 5 to 8, the first horizontal conveyor 1 has a horizontal row of synchronously driven rollers 9, which are located in the sections 5, 7 and 8 at the bottom of a support wall 10 which by a few degrees, z. B. is inclined at 6 ° to the vertical to the rear and is preferably designed as an air cushion wall. The glass panels are supported on the rollers 9 standing and leaned against the support wall 10. In the washing and drying machine 6, the glass sheets are supported in a conventional manner by an arrangement of washing brushes and rollers.

Der zweite Waagerechtförderer 2 hat ebenfalls mehrere Abschnitte 11, 12, 13, 14 und 15, in welchen jeweils ein endloser Förderriemen 16 mit waagerecht verlaufendem Obertrum am unteren Rand einer Stützwand 17 vorgesehen ist, welche um denselben Winkel aus der Senkrechten heraus nach hinten geneigt wie die Stützwand 10. Zweckmäßigerweise ist das Obertrum rechtwinklig zur Stützwand 10 angeordnet und somit ebenfalls um wenige Grad nach hinten geneigt. Der zweite Waagerechtförderer 2 dient dem Fördern von rechteckigen oder quadratischen Rahmen 51 (siehe Figur 1), welche aus Kunststoff-Hohlprofilen gebildet sind. Sie werden mit einem ihrer Schenkel auf den Förderriemen 16 gestellt und gegen die Stützwand 17 gelehnt, in welche zur Reibungsminderung vorzugsweise mit Borsten, insbesondere mit weichen Borsten, versehene Streifen eingelegt oder aufgeklebt sind. Dicht oberhalb des Förderriemens 16 befindet sich eine Zeile von freilaufenden Führungsrollen 18, die teilweise unter der Stützwand 17 liegen, über diese vorstehen und jeweils eine senkrecht zum Obertrum des Förderriemens 16 verlaufende Achse haben. In einem Abstand zur Stützwand 17 ist vor dieser vorzugsweise noch eine weitere Reihe von Stützrollen 19 vorgesehen, deren Höhe verstellbar sein kann und die bei Bedarf dazu dienen, ein Umkippen des auf dem Förderriemen 16 stehenden Rahmen zu verhindern.The second horizontal conveyor 2 also has a plurality of sections 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15, in each of which an endless conveyor belt 16 is provided with horizontally extending upper strand at the bottom of a support wall 17, which inclined at the same angle from the vertical out backwards The support wall 10. Conveniently, the upper strand is arranged at right angles to the support wall 10 and thus also inclined by a few degrees to the rear. The second horizontal conveyor 2 is used for conveying rectangular or square frames 51 (see FIG. 1 ), which are formed of plastic hollow sections. They are placed with one of their legs on the conveyor belt 16 and leaned against the support wall 17, in which for the reduction of friction, preferably with bristles, in particular with soft bristles, provided strips are inserted or glued. Just above the conveyor belt 16 is a row of free-running guide rollers 18, which are partially under the support wall 17, projecting beyond this and each have a perpendicular to the upper run of the conveyor belt 16 extending axis. At a distance from the support wall 17, a further row of support rollers 19 is preferably provided in front of this, the height of which can be adjustable and which, if necessary, serve to prevent the frame standing on the conveyor belt 16 from tipping over.

Im Abschnitt 11 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 werden die aus den Kunststoff-Hohlprofilen 21 gebildeten Rahmen auf den Waagerechtförderer 2 aufgegeben.In section 11 of the second horizontal conveyor 2, the frames formed from the hollow plastic profiles 21 are applied to the horizontal conveyor 2.

Dem Abschnitt 12 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 ist eine Anlage 20 zugeordnet, welche dazu dient, in den Zwischenraum zwischen zwei Stegen des KunststoffHohlprofils, aus welchem der Rahmen 51 für den Fensterflügel gebildet ist, eine Klebemasse zu spritzen, in welche ein Trockenmittel eingelagert ist. Ein Beispiel eines solchen Kunststoff-Hohlprofils ist in den Figuren 16 bis 19 im Querschnitt dargestellt. Das dargestellte Kunststoff-Hohlprofil 21 hat eine ebene Außenseite 22, eine strukturierte Innenseite 23, zwei Flanken 24 und 25 und einige hohle Kammern. Auf der Innenseite 23 befinden sich zwei zu den Flanken 24 und 25 und zueinander parallele Stege 26 und 27, deren Zwischenraum zur Innenseite des Rahmens 51 hin offen ist. Die Stege 26, 27 sind an ihrem freien Ende abgewinkelt und bilden dadurch einen Vorsprung 28, an welchem die Glastafeln 52, 53 anschlagen können, für welche die Stege 26 und 27 als Abstandhalter dienen, siehe Figur 18. In den Zwischenraum zwischen den Stegen 26 und 27 wird durch die Anlage 20 eine Klebemasse 29 gespritzt, in welche ein Trockenmittel eingelagert ist. Als Klebemasse 29 eignet sich insbesondere ein Polyisobutylen und als Trockenmittel Molekularsiebe. Die Klebemasse 29 wird zweckmäßigerweise mittels einer Düse 30 eingespritzt, welche parallel zur Stützwand 17 auf und ab verfahrbar ist und um eine zur Stützwand 17 senkrechte Achse drehbar ist. Zum Einspritzen der Klebemasse 29 in den Zwischenraum zwischen den senkrecht verlaufenden Stegen 28 wird die Düse 30 aufwärts bzw. abwärts bewegt, während der aus dem Hohlprofil 21 gebildete Rahmen 51 ruht. In den Zwischenraum zwischen den waagerechten Stegen 26 und 27 wird die Klebemasse 29 gespritzt, während der aus dem Hohlprofil 21 gebildete Rahmen 51 waagerecht vor bzw. zurück gefördert wird und die Düse 30 ruht.The section 12 of the second horizontal conveyor 2 is associated with a system 20, which serves to inject into the space between two webs of the plastic hollow profile, from which the frame 51 is formed for the window sash, an adhesive in which a desiccant is incorporated. An example of such a plastic hollow profile is in the FIGS. 16 to 19 shown in cross section. The illustrated plastic hollow profile 21 has a flat outer side 22, a structured inner side 23, two flanks 24 and 25 and some hollow chambers. On the inside 23 are two to the flanks 24 and 25 and mutually parallel webs 26 and 27, the gap to the inside of the frame 51 is open. The webs 26, 27 are angled at their free end and thereby form a projection 28, to which the glass plates 52, 53 can strike, for which the webs 26 and 27 serve as spacers, see FIG. 18 , In the space between the webs 26 and 27, an adhesive 29 is injected through the system 20, in which a desiccant is incorporated. As the adhesive 29 is particularly suitable a polyisobutylene and as a desiccant molecular sieves. The adhesive 29 is expediently injected by means of a nozzle 30, which can be moved up and down parallel to the support wall 17 and is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the support wall 17. For injecting the adhesive 29 into the space between the vertically extending webs 28, the nozzle 30 is moved upwards or downwards, while the frame 51 formed from the hollow profile 21 rests. In the space between the horizontal webs 26 and 27, the adhesive is 29, while the frame 51 formed from the hollow profile 21 is conveyed horizontally forward or backward and the nozzle 30 rests.

Dem Abschnitt 14 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 ist eine Anlage 31 zum Auftragen eines Strangs 35 aus einer Versiegelungsmasse auf die einander abgewandten Seiten der Stege 26 und 27 zugeordnet. Zu diesem Zweck befindet sich eine erste Düse 32 vor der Stützwand 17 und eine zweite Düse 33 hinter der Stützwand 17, von wo sie durch einen von unten nach oben verlaufenden Schlitz 34 in der Stützwand 17 durch diese hindurchgreifen kann. Die Düsen 32 und 33 sind in gleicher Weise bewegbar wie die Düse 30 und sie werden synchron bewegt und betätigt, so dass sie die Versiegelungsmasse gleichzeitig auf die Außenseite der beiden Stege 26 und 27 auftragen. In den Figuren 16 bis 18 ist der Strang 35 aus der Versiegelungsmasse dargestellt.The section 14 of the second horizontal conveyor 2 is a system 31 for applying a strand 35 of a sealing compound on the opposite sides of the webs 26 and 27 assigned. For this purpose, there is a first nozzle 32 in front of the support wall 17 and a second nozzle 33 behind the support wall 17, from where it can reach through a downwardly extending slot 34 in the support wall 17 through this. The nozzles 32 and 33 are movable in the same way as the nozzle 30 and they are synchronously moved and actuated so that they simultaneously apply the sealing compound to the outside of the two webs 26 and 27. In the FIGS. 16 to 18 the strand 35 is shown from the sealant.

Die Abschnitte 13 und 15 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 dienen dem Zwischentransport der Rahmen. Im Abschnitt 13 könnten in den Rahmen 51 bei Bedarf Sprossen eingesetzt werden.The sections 13 and 15 of the second horizontal conveyor 2 serve for the intermediate transport of the frame. In section 13, if necessary, rungs could be used in the frames 51.

Der in Figur 1 dargestellte Abschnitt der Fertigungslinie beginnt mit der Weiche 4, welche zwischen den in Figur 1 dargestellten beiden Stellungen hin und her schwenkbar ist. Die Weiche 4 hat einen Waagerechtförderer mit einem Aufbau, der dem eines der Abschnitte des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 gleicht oder ähnelt und deshalb als eine schwenkbare Fortsetzung des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 angesehen werden kann. In der Stellung, in welcher die Weiche 4 mit dem ersten Waagerechtförderer 1 fluchtet, kann sie die dort herangeförderten Glastafeln 52, 53 übernehmen und in eine Vorbereitungsstation 36 übergeben. In der Stellung, in welcher die Weiche 4 mit dem zweiten Waagerechtförderer 2 fluchtet, kann sie von diesem einen Rahmen 51 für den Fensterflügel übernehmen. Um den Rahmen 51 in die Vorbereitungsstation 36 übergeben zu können, muss die Weiche 4 aber zunächst in jene Stellung verschwenkt werden, in welcher sie mit der Vorbereitungsstation 36 und dem ersten Waagerechtförderer 1 fluchtet.The in FIG. 1 illustrated section of the production line starts with the switch 4, which between the in FIG. 1 shown two positions back and forth is pivotally. The switch 4 has a horizontal conveyor with a structure that is similar to or similar to one of the sections of the second horizontal conveyor 2 and therefore can be regarded as a pivotable continuation of the second horizontal conveyor 2. In the position in which the switch 4 is aligned with the first horizontal conveyor 1, it can take over the glass plates 52, 53 conveyed there and transfer them to a preparation station 36. In the position in which the switch 4 is aligned with the second horizontal conveyor 2, they can take over this a frame 51 for the window sash. In order to be able to transfer the frame 51 into the preparation station 36, however, the switch 4 must first be pivoted into that position in which it aligns with the preparation station 36 and the first horizontal conveyor 1.

Die Vorbereitungsstation 36 ist in den Figuren 3 bis 6 dargestellt. Sie hat auf einem Untergestell 37, welches zwei nach hinten geneigte Schienen 38 hat, einen rahmenförmiges Gestell 39, welches auf seiner Vorderseite zwei nach hinten geneigte Pfosten 40 hat, welche im rechten Winkel zu den Schienen 38 nach oben ragen. Die Schienen 38 verlaufen in einem rechten Winkel zur Förderrichtung des ersten und dritten Waagerechtförderers 1 bzw. 3. Die Pfosten 40 sind um den gleichen Winkel nach hinten geneigt wie die Stützwände 10. An den Pfosten 40 ist eine Anordnung von drei waagerechten Balken 41, 42 und 43 auf und ab verschiebbar gelagert, so dass die Balken 41, 42 und 43 in der Höhe verstellt werden können. Die drei Balken 41, 42, und 43 tragen jeweils eine waagerechte Zeile von freilaufenden Stützrollen 44, welche um Achsen drehbar sind, welche parallel zu den Pfosten 40 verlaufen. Im unteren Bereich des Gestells 39 ist an diesem ein dreibahniger Waagerechtförderer 45 angebracht, welcher einen waagerechten Träger 46 für drei endlose Förderriemen 47, 48 und 49 aufweist, deren Obertrums mit Abstand parallel zueinander angeordnet und um den gleichen Winkel nach hinten geneigt wie die Pfosten 40. Die beiden äußeren Förderriemen 47 und 49 dienen zum Fördern von Glastafeln 52, 53, wohingegen der mittlere Förderriemen 48, welcher breiter ist als die äußeren Förderriemen 47 und 49, für das Fördern eines Rahmens 51 für einen Fensterflügel bestimmt ist. Die Förderriemen 47 bis 49 sind getrennt antreibbar. Zu beiden Seiten der Förderriemen 47 und 49 sind auf dem Träger freilaufende Stützrollen 50 angeordnet. Sie dienen dazu, den unteren Rand der Glastafeln und des Rahmens für den Fensterflügel zu führen. Ihre Achsen verlaufen parallel zu den Achsen der an den Balken 41, 42 und 43 angebrachten Rollen 44.The preparation station 36 is in the FIGS. 3 to 6 shown. It has on a base frame 37, which has two rearwardly inclined rails 38, a frame-shaped Frame 39, which has on its front side two rearwardly inclined posts 40 which project at right angles to the rails 38 upwards. The rails 38 extend at a right angle to the conveying direction of the first and third horizontal conveyor 1 and 3. The posts 40 are inclined at the same angle to the rear as the support walls 10. At the post 40 is an arrangement of three horizontal bars 41, 42nd and 43 slidably mounted up and down, so that the beams 41, 42 and 43 can be adjusted in height. The three beams 41, 42, and 43 each carry a horizontal row of free-running support rollers 44 which are rotatable about axes which are parallel to the posts 40. In the lower region of the frame 39, a three-lane horizontal conveyor 45 is attached to this, which has a horizontal support 46 for three endless conveyor belts 47, 48 and 49, whose upper run arranged at a distance parallel to each other and inclined at the same angle to the rear as the post 40th The two outer conveyor belts 47 and 49 serve to convey glass panels 52, 53, whereas the central conveyor belt 48, which is wider than the outer conveyor belts 47 and 49, is intended to convey a frame 51 for a casement. The conveyor belts 47 to 49 are driven separately. On both sides of the conveyor belt 47 and 49 freewheeling support rollers 50 are arranged on the support. They serve to guide the lower edge of the glass panels and the frame for the window sash. Their axes are parallel to the axes of the rollers 44 attached to the beams 41, 42 and 43.

Durch Querverschieben des Gestells 39 auf den Schienen 38 des Untergestells 37 kann jeder der drei Förderriemen 47, 48 und 49 in die Flucht des Waagerechtförderers der Weiche 4 gebracht werden. In der in Figur 1 dargestellten Stellung kann von der Weiche 4 ein Rahmen 51 für einen Fensterflügel auf den mittleren Förderriemen 48 übergeben werden; die Stützrollen 18 der Weiche 4 fluchten mit den Stützrollen 50, welche zwischen dem hinteren Förderriemen 49 und dem mittleren Förderriemen 48 angeordnet und um den gleichen Winkel nach hinten geneigt sidn wie die Pfosten 40 sind. Um eine Glastafel 53 auf den hinteren Förderriemen 49 zu übergeben, wird dieser durch Querverschieben des Trägers 46 so positioniert, dass die hinter dem Förderriemen 49 angeordneten Stützrollen 50 mit den Stützrollen 18 in der Weiche 4 fluchten. Um eine Glastafel 52 auf den vorderen Förderriemen 47 übergeben zu können, wird dieser durch Querverschieben des Trägers 46 so positioniert, dass die zwischen dem vorderen Förderriemen 47 und dem mittleren Förderriemen 48 angeordneten Stützrollen 50 mit den Stützrollen 18 in der Weiche 4 fluchten.By transversely displacing the frame 39 on the rails 38 of the undercarriage 37, each of the three conveyor belts 47, 48 and 49 can be brought into alignment with the horizontal conveyor of the switch 4. In the in FIG. 1 shown position can be passed from the switch 4, a frame 51 for a window sash on the middle conveyor belt 48; the support rollers 18 of the switch 4 are aligned with the support rollers 50, which are arranged between the rear conveyor belt 49 and the central conveyor belt 48 and inclined at the same angle to the rear as the posts 40 are. To transfer a glass panel 53 to the rear conveyor belt 49, this is positioned by transverse displacement of the carrier 46 so that the arranged behind the conveyor belt 49 support rollers 50 are aligned with the support rollers 18 in the switch 4. In order to pass a glass panel 52 on the front conveyor belt 47, this is positioned by transversely displacing the carrier 46 so that the between the front conveyor belt 47 and the middle conveyor belt 48 arranged support rollers 50 are aligned with the support rollers 18 in the switch 4.

In der Vorbereitungsstation 36 werden der Rahmen 51 und die beiden Glastafeln 52 und 53 vorzugsweise so positioniert, dass ihre vorderen aufragenden Ränder ungefähr nebeneinander liegen und der anschließenden Zusammenbaustation 54 benachbart sind.In the preparation station 36, the frame 51 and the two glass panels 52 and 53 are preferably positioned so that their front upstanding edges are approximately adjacent to one another and adjacent to the subsequent assembly station 54.

Die Zusammenbaustation 54 ist in den Figuren 7 bis 15 dargestellt. Sie hat ein Untergestell 55 mit Schienen 56, deren Neigung mit der Neigung der Schienen 38 in der Vorbereitungsstation 36 übereinstimmt. Auf dem Untergestell 55 ist ein Gestell 57 befestigt, welches dem Gestell 39 der Vorbereitungsstation 36 ähnelt und wie jenes eine Anordnung aus drei Balken 58, 59 und 60 hat. An denen jeweils eine waagerechte Reihe von Stützrollen 61 angebracht sind, deren Achsen annährend senkrecht, nämlich rechtwinklig zu den Schienen 56, verlaufen. Die Anordnung der Balken 58 bis 60 ist wie die Anordnung der Balken 41 bis 43 in der Vorbereitungsstation 36 in der Höhe verstellbar an Pfosten des Gestells 57 angebracht. Im Gegensatz zu dem verschiebbaren Gestell 39 in der Vorbereitungsstation 36 ist das Gestell 57 jedoch auf dem Untergestell 55 unverschiebbar befestigt. Ein dreibahniger Waagerechtförderer 62, welcher im Aufbau dem dreibahnigen Waagerechtförderer 45 in der Vorbereitungsstation 36 gleicht, ist höhenverstellbar am Untergestell 55 angebracht.The assembly station 54 is in the FIGS. 7 to 15 shown. It has a base 55 with rails 56, the inclination of which coincides with the inclination of the rails 38 in the preparation station 36. On the base 55, a frame 57 is fixed, which is similar to the frame 39 of the preparation station 36 and how that has an arrangement of three bars 58, 59 and 60. To each of which a horizontal row of support rollers 61 are mounted, whose axes are approximately perpendicular, namely perpendicular to the rails 56 extend. The arrangement of the bars 58 to 60 is like the arrangement of the bars 41 to 43 in the preparation station 36 in height adjustably attached to posts of the frame 57. In contrast to the displaceable frame 39 in the preparation station 36, however, the frame 57 is fixed immovably to the base 55. A three-lane horizontal conveyor 62, which is similar in structure to the three-lane horizontal conveyor 45 in the preparation station 36, is height-adjustable on the undercarriage 55.

Vor dem feststehenden Gestell 57 ist ein vorderes Gestell 63 angeordnet, welches auf einem Paar Schienen 56 verschiebbar ist. Hinter dem feststehenden Gestell 57 ist ein hinteres Gestell 64 angeordnet, welches ebenfalls auf einem Paar Schienen 56 verschiebbar ist. Figur 2 zeigt eine Ansicht des hinteren Gestells 64. Zwei seitliche Pfosten 65 des hinteren Gestells 64 haben an ihren unteren Enden hinterschnittene Führungsteile 66, welche die Schienen 56 umgreifen. An den Pfosten 65 ist eine waagerechte Traverse 67 angebracht, welche mittels Zahnriemen 68, die von einem Motor 69 angetrieben werden, an dem Pfosten 65 auf und ab verschiebbar ist. An der Traverse 67 sind Stempel 70 angebracht, welche durch Druckmittelzylinder 71 betätigt werden können, insbesondere durch pneumatische Zylinder, welche in den Figuren 7 und 8 dargestellt sind, in Figur 9 aber nicht sichtbar sind, weil sie hinter der Traverse 67 liegen. Oberhalb eines jeden Stempels 70 ist eine Justiereinrichtung 72 vorgesehen, siehe Figur 16, bestehend aus einem Pneumatikzylinder 73, dessen Kolbenstange 74 einen Kopf 75 hat, an welchem eine parallel zur Kolbenstange 74 geführte, ausziehbare Leiste 76 befestigt ist. Die Justiereinrichtung 72 dient dazu, den oberen Schenkel des Rahmens 51 zu positionieren und einen eventuellen Durchhang des oberen Schenkels des Rahmens 51 zu beseitigen, siehe Figuren 16 bis 18.In front of the fixed frame 57, a front frame 63 is arranged, which is displaceable on a pair of rails 56. Behind the fixed frame 57, a rear frame 64 is arranged, which is also displaceable on a pair of rails 56. FIG. 2 shows a view of the rear frame 64. Two lateral posts 65 of the rear frame 64 have at their lower ends undercut guide members 66 which engage around the rails 56. At the post 65 a horizontal cross member 67 is attached, which by means of toothed belt 68, which are driven by a motor 69, on the post 65 up and down is displaceable. On the Traverse 67 stamp 70 are attached, which can be actuated by pressure cylinder 71, in particular by pneumatic cylinder, which in the FIGS. 7 and 8th are shown in FIG. 9 but are not visible because they are behind the Traverse 67. Above each punch 70 is an adjusting device 72nd provided, see FIG. 16 consisting of a pneumatic cylinder 73, whose piston rod 74 has a head 75 to which a parallel to the piston rod 74 guided, extendable strip 76 is attached. The adjusting device 72 serves to position the upper leg of the frame 51 and to eliminate any slack in the upper leg of the frame 51, see FIGS. 16 to 18 ,

An einer unteren Traverse 77 des hinteren Gestells 64 sind ebenfalls durch Druckmittelzylinder einzeln betätigte Stempel 70 und zusätzlich eine Reihe von Saugern 78 angebracht. Ein weiterer Sauger 78 ist an der waagerechten Traverse 68 angebracht. Die Sauger 78 sind ebenso wie die Stempel 70 einzeln durch Druckmittelzylinder 89, insbesondere durch Pneumatikzylinder, verschiebbar. An der unteren Traverse 77 und an einer oberen Traverse 79 des hinteren Gestells 64 ist eine zu den Pfosten 65 parallele aufrechte Traverse 80 waagerecht verschiebbar angebracht. Die aufrechte Traverse 80 kreuzt die waagerechte Traverse 67 und ist hinter dieser angeordnet. Das Verschieben der aufrechten Traverse 80 erfolgt wie bei der waagerechten Traverse 67 mittels zweier Zahnriemen 81, welche durch einen Motor 82 angetrieben sind. An der aufrechten Traverse 80 und an dem zu ihr parallelen Pfosten 65 sind weitere Stempel 70 und 70a angebracht, welche ebenfalls durch Druckmittelzylinder einzeln betätigbar sind. Die meisten Stempel 70 sind an den Traversen 67, 77 und 80 sowie am Pfosten 65 jeweils auf einem Schieber 83 angebracht, welcher an einem Scherengitter 84 angebrachte kleinere Stempel 70a mit sich schleppt, wodurch sich der Abstand der mit dem Scherengitter 84 verbundenen Stempel 70, 70a voneinander ändert. Der durch das Scherengitter 84 bewirkte Längenausgleich erlaubt es, die Lage der Stempel 70 und 70a optimal an die Höhe und Breite der Rahmen 51 anzupassen. Der Anpassung an Höhe und Breite der Rahmen 51 für die Fensterflügel dient auch die Verschiebbarkeit der Traversen 67 und 80.At a lower cross member 77 of the rear frame 64 also individually actuated plunger 70 and in addition a number of suckers 78 are attached by pressure medium cylinder. Another sucker 78 is attached to the horizontal cross member 68. The suckers 78, like the dies 70, can be displaced individually by pressure medium cylinders 89, in particular by pneumatic cylinders. At the lower cross member 77 and at an upper cross member 79 of the rear frame 64, a parallel to the post 65 upright cross member 80 is mounted horizontally displaceable. The upright cross member 80 crosses the horizontal cross member 67 and is arranged behind this. The displacement of the upright cross member 80 takes place as in the horizontal cross member 67 by means of two toothed belts 81, which are driven by a motor 82. At the upright cross member 80 and at its parallel to the post 65 further punch 70 and 70 a are mounted, which are also actuated individually by pressure medium cylinder. Most stamps 70 are attached to the trusses 67, 77 and 80 and the post 65 each on a slider 83, which carries on a scissor lattice 84 mounted smaller punch 70 a, whereby the distance of the associated with the pawl 84 punch 70, 70a changes from each other. The length compensation effected by the louver 84 makes it possible to adapt the position of the punches 70 and 70a optimally to the height and width of the frames 51. The adaptation to the height and width of the frame 51 for the sash also serves the displacement of the trusses 67 and 80th

Figur 9 zeigt des weiteren zwei Sauger 85 und 86, welche größer sind als die Sauger 78. Der untere Sauger 85 befindet sich in der Ansicht der Figur 9 in der linken unteren Ecke des von den Traversen 67, 77, 68 und vom Pfosten 65 begrenzten Feldes und ist an der unteren Traverse 77 angebracht. Der obere Sauger 86 befindet sich in der diagonal gegenüberliegenden Ecke dieses Feldes. Während der untere Sauger 85 lediglich vor und zurück bewegt werden kann und im Übrigen seine Position an der unteren Traverse 77 beibehält, kann der obere Sauger 86 zusätzlich den Bewegungen der Traversen 67 und 80 folgen, so dass er seine Position in der von der Lage der Traversen 67 und 80 bestimmten Ecke des Feldes beibehält. Mit diesen Saugern 85 und 86 kann eine Glastafel 53, welche von den Saugern 78 in dem von den Traversen 76, 70, 68 und von dem Pfosten 65 aufgespannten Feld gehalten wird, an zwei einander diagonal gegenüberliegenden Ecken nach hinten abgebogen werden. Außerdem tragen die größeren Sauger 85, 86 zur Fixierung der Glastafeln 52, 53 bei, die zu erfolgen hat, ehe der dreibahnige Waagerechtförderer 62 abgesenkt werden kann. Die größeren Sauger 85 und 86 sind wie die kleineren Sauger 78 durch Druckmittelzylinder, insbesondere durch Pneumatikzylinder 89, verschiebbar. FIG. 9 further shows two suckers 85 and 86, which are larger than the suckers 78. The lower sucker 85 is in the view of FIG. 9 in the lower left corner of the bounded by the trusses 67, 77, 68 and the post 65 field and is attached to the lower beam 77. The upper sucker 86 is located in the diagonally opposite corner of this field. While the lower nipple 85 can only be moved back and forth and the rest of his position the upper cross member 77 retains, the upper nipple 86 may additionally follow the movements of the cross members 67 and 80 so as to maintain its position in the corner of the panel defined by the position of the cross members 67 and 80. With these suckers 85 and 86, a glass sheet 53, which is held by the suckers 78 in the field defined by the trusses 76, 70, 68 and the post 65, can be bent back at two diagonally opposite corners. In addition, the larger suction cups 85, 86 contribute to the fixation of the glass panels 52, 53, which has to be done before the three-track horizontal conveyor 62 can be lowered. The larger suckers 85 and 86, like the smaller suckers 78, are displaceable by pressure medium cylinders, in particular by pneumatic cylinders 89.

Mit Hilfe der größeren Sauger 85 und 86 kann beim Zusammenbau eines Fensterflügels ein Zugang zum Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Glastafeln 52, 53 des Fensterflügels für Zwecke eines Gasaustausches vorübergehend offengehalten werden. Beim Gasaustausch wird Luft im Zwischenraum der Glastafeln 52 und 53 durch Schwergas ersetzt. Das Schwergas wird zweckmäßigerweise im Bereich der unteren Ecke in der Nachbarschaft des unteren Saugers 85 zugeführt und verdrängt die Luft durch die Öffnung im Bereich des diagonal gegenüberliegenden oberen Saugers 86. Damit das Schwergas durch den vom unteren Sauger 85 offen gehaltenen Zugang nicht wieder abfließt, ist dort eine zweischenklige Dichtung 87 vorgesehen, welche in der unteren Ecke des Rahmens 51 den Spalt zwischen dem Rahmen 51 und der hinteren Glastafel 53 abgedeckt und dadurch den Zugang zum Zwischenraum zwischen den Glastafeln 52, 53 abdichtet. Die Dichtung 87 kann z. B. ein Formteil aus einem Moosgummi oder dergleichen sein. Durch die Dichtung 87 hindurch erstreckt sich eine Zuleitung 88 für das zuzuführende Schwergas. Der durch die Dichtung 87 hindurchgeführte Endabschnitt der Zuleitung 88 ist vorzugsweise ein am Ende geschlossenes, poröses Rohrstück, welches z. B. aus einem gesinterten Kunststoff bestehen kann, aus welchem das Schwergas diffus austritt, in den Zwischenraum zwischen den Glastafeln 52, 53 strömt und die Luft dort nach oben verdrängt, so dass die Luft den Zwischenraum über die vom oberen Sauger 86 bewirkte Öffnung verlässt.With the help of the larger suckers 85 and 86, access to the space between the two sheets of glass 52, 53 of the sash for the purpose of gas exchange can be temporarily kept open during assembly of a sash. During the gas exchange, air in the intermediate space of the glass panels 52 and 53 is replaced by heavy gas. The heavy gas is expediently supplied in the area of the lower corner in the vicinity of the lower teat 85 and displaces the air through the opening in the region of the diagonally opposite upper teat 86. So that the heavy gas is not discharged again through the access open from the lower teat 85 there a two-legged seal 87 is provided, which covers the gap between the frame 51 and the rear glass panel 53 in the lower corner of the frame 51 and thereby seals the access to the gap between the glass panels 52, 53. The seal 87 may, for. B. be a molded part of a sponge rubber or the like. Through the seal 87 extends a supply line 88 for the supplied heavy gas. The guided through the seal 87 end portion of the supply line 88 is preferably a closed at the end, porous pipe piece, which z. B. may consist of a sintered plastic, from which the heavy gas emerges diffusely, flows into the space between the glass plates 52, 53 and the air displaced upwards there, so that the air leaves the gap on the opening caused by the upper sucker 86.

Figur 10 zeigt eine der Figur 9 entsprechende Ansicht des vorderen Gestells 63, welches in der Zusammenbaustation vor dem dreibahnigen Waagerechtförderer 62 angeordnet ist. Dieses vordere Gestell 63 stimmt im Wesentlichen spiegelbildlich mit dem hinteren Gestell 64 überein, so dass wegen der Einzelheiten auf die Beschreibung des hinteren Gestells 64 zurückgegriffen werden kann. Das vordere Gestell 63 hat jedoch nicht den größeren Sauger 85, nicht die Dichtung 87 und auch keine Zuleitung 88 für ein Schwergas. FIG. 10 shows one of the FIG. 9 corresponding view of the front frame 63, which is arranged in the assembly station in front of the three-lane horizontal conveyor 62 is. This front frame 63 is substantially mirror-inverted with the rear frame 64, so that recourse may be had to the description of the rear frame 64 for the details. However, the front frame 63 does not have the larger sucker 85, not the seal 87 and also no supply line 88 for a heavy gas.

In der beschriebenen Fertigungslinie werden die Fensterflügel nach dem folgenden Verfahren zusammengebaut:

  • Die für einen Fensterflügel benötigten beiden Glastafeln 52 und 53 werden auf den Abschnitt 5 des ersten Waagerechtförderers 1 aufgegeben. Der für den Fensterflügel benötigte Rahmen 51, welcher aus Kunststoff-Hohlprofilen vorgefertigt ist, wird auf den Abschnitt 11 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 aufgegeben. Die Glastafeln 52 und 53 werden aufeinanderfolgend durch die Wasch- und Trockenmaschine 6 hindurchgefördert, können im Abschnitt 7 des ersten Waagerechtförderers 1 auf Reinheit überprüft werden, gelangen auf den Abschnitt 8 des ersten Waagerechtförderers 1, auf welchem sie erforderlichenfalls gestaut werden können, wenn die Weiche 4 oder die ihr nachfolgende Vorbereitungsstation 36 noch nicht aufnahmebereit sein sollten. Die Weiche 4 ist für die Glastafeln 52 und 53 aufnahmebereit, wenn sie mit dem ersten Waagerechtförderer 1 fluchtet und leer ist. In diesem Fall werden die beiden Glastafeln 52 und 53 aufeinanderfolgend auf die Weiche 4 gefördert. Wenn die Vorbereitungsstation 36 aufnahmebereit ist, wird sie durch Querverschieben so positioniert, dass entweder die hinter dem hinteren Förderriemen 49 angeordneten Stützrollen 50 oder die zwischen dem vorderen Förderriemen 47 und dem mittleren Förderriemen 48 angeordneten Stützrollen 50 mit den Stützrollen 18 der Weiche 4 fluchten. Im zuletzt genannten Fall wird dann die erste Glastafel 52 auf den vorderen Förderriemen 47 gefördert, von diesem bis kurz vor das Auslaufende der Vorbereitungsstation 36 gefördert und dort angehalten. Dann wird durch Querverschieben des Gestells 39 die für die zweite Glastafel 53 bestimmte Förderbahn mit dem hinteren Förderriemen 49 in die Flucht der Weiche 4 verschoben und die zweite Glastafel 53 von der Weiche 4 auf den hinteren Förderriemen 49 gefördert, welcher sie bis zum Auslaufende der Vorbereitungsstation 36 fördert und sie dort anhält. Anschließend wird der dreibahnige Waagerechtförderer 62 so positioniert, dass seine mittlere Förderbahn mit dem breiteren Förderriemen 48 mit dem ersten Waagerechtförderer 1 fluchtet.
In the described production line the sashes are assembled according to the following procedure:
  • The two glass panels 52 and 53 required for a window sash are placed on the section 5 of the first horizontal conveyor 1. The frame 51 required for the window sash, which is prefabricated from hollow plastic profiles, is fed onto the section 11 of the second horizontal conveyor 2. The glass panels 52 and 53 are successively conveyed through the washing and drying machine 6, can be checked for purity in section 7 of the first horizontal conveyor 1, reach the section 8 of the first horizontal conveyor 1, on which they can be stowed if necessary, when the switch 4 or the subsequent preparation station 36 should not yet be ready for recording. The switch 4 is receptive to the glass panels 52 and 53 when it is aligned with the first horizontal conveyor 1 and is empty. In this case, the two glass sheets 52 and 53 are successively conveyed to the switch 4. When the preparation station 36 is ready to receive, it is positioned by moving it in a transverse position so that either the support rollers 50 located behind the rear conveyor belt 49 or the support rollers 50 located between the front conveyor belt 47 and the center conveyor belt 48 are aligned with the support rollers 18 of the switch 4. In the latter case, the first glass panel 52 is then conveyed to the front conveyor belt 47, promoted from this until shortly before the outlet end of the preparation station 36 and stopped there. Then, by moving the frame 39 transversely, the conveyor belt intended for the second glass panel 53 is displaced with the rear conveyor belt 49 into alignment with the switch 4 and the second glass panel 53 is conveyed by the switch 4 onto the rear conveyor belt 49, which feeds it to the outlet end of the preparation station 36 and stops them there. Subsequently, the three-lane horizontal conveyor 62 is positioned so that its middle Conveyor track with the wider conveyor belt 48 with the first horizontal conveyor 1 is aligned.

Zeitlich überlappend mit dem Durchlauf der beiden Glastafeln 52 und 53 durch den ersten Waagerechtförderer 1 wird auf dem zweiten Waagerechtförderer 2 in dessen Abschnitt 12 die klebende Masse, in welche ein Trockenmittel eingelagert ist, in den Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Stegen 26 und 27 des Rahmens 51 gespritzt. Im Abschnitt 13 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 besteht die Gelegenheit, falls gewünscht, Sprossen in den Rahmen 51 einzusetzen. Im anschließenden Abschnitt 14 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 wird auf die Außenseite der beiden Stege 26 und 27 unterbrechungslos ein endloser Strang 35 aus einer Versiegelungsmasse aufgetragen. In dem daran anschließenden Abschnitt 15 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 kann der so vorbereitete und beschichte Rahmen 51 gestaut werden, bis die Weiche 4 frei und in ihre mit dem zweiten Waagerechtförderer 2 fluchtende Stellung geschwenkt ist. Anschließend wird der Rahmen 51 auf die Weiche 4 gefördert. Sobald das geschehen ist, schwenkt die Weiche 4 zurück in die Flucht des ersten Waagerechtförderers 1. Wenn das bis dahin noch nicht geschehen sein sollte, wird als nächstes das Gestell 39 der Vorbereitungsstation 36 durch Querverschieben auf dem Untergestell 37 mit der zwischen dem mittleren Förderriemen 48 und dem hinteren Förderriemen 49 angeordneten Zeile von Stützrollen 50 in die Flucht der Stützrollen 18 in der Weiche 4 gebracht. Sobald das geschehen ist, wird der Rahmen 51 auf den mittleren Förderriemen 48 gefördert und von diesem weitergefördert bis zum Auslaufende der Vorbereitungsstation 36. Ist die anschließende Zusammenbaustation 54 aufnahmebereit, kann der Rahmen 51 ohne anzuhalten in die Zusammenbaustation 54 einlaufen und gleichzeitig werden die beiden Glastafeln 52 und 53 aus der Vorbereitungsstation 36 in die Zusammenbaustation 54 gefördert. Sollte die Zusammenbaustation 54 jedoch noch nicht aufnahmebereit sein, wird der Rahmen 51 in der Vorbereitungsstation 36 angehalten. Der Rahmen 51 und die Glastafeln 52 und 53 haben dann die in Figur 1 dargestellte Position eingenommen. Sobald die Zusammenbaustation 54 aufnahmebereit ist, werden der Rahmen 51 und die beiden Glastafeln 52 und 53 gleichzeitig in die Zusammenbaustation 54 gefördert und bis in die Nähe von deren Auslaufende bewegt, wo sie - z. B. durch Lagesensoren gesteuertso angehalten werden, dass die aufrechten Ränder der beiden Glastafeln 52, 53 in Förderrichtung auf die aufrechten Ränder der beiden Stege 26 und 27 des Rahmens 51 zentriert sind. Da die Obertrums der Förderriemen 47, 48 und 49 in einer gemeinsamen Ebene liegen, sind die Glastafeln 52 und 53 in der Höhe noch nicht korrekt auf die Höhe ausgerichtet, die sie im Rahmen 51 einnehmen müssen, siehe Figur 11.Over time, with the passage of the two glass panels 52 and 53 through the first horizontal conveyor 1 is on the second horizontal conveyor 2 in the section 12, the adhesive mass, in which a desiccant is incorporated, in the space between the two webs 26 and 27 of the frame 51st injected. In section 13 of the second horizontal conveyor 2 there is the opportunity, if desired, to insert rungs into the frame 51. In the subsequent section 14 of the second horizontal conveyor 2, an endless strand 35 of a sealing compound is applied to the outside of the two webs 26 and 27 without interruption. In the adjoining section 15 of the second horizontal conveyor 2 of the thus prepared and coated frame 51 can be stowed until the switch 4 is free and pivoted into its aligned with the second horizontal conveyor 2 position. Subsequently, the frame 51 is conveyed to the switch 4. As soon as this has happened, the switch 4 pivots back into alignment with the first horizontal conveyor 1. If this has not been done by then, the frame 39 of the preparation station 36 is next moved transversely on the underframe 37 with the intermediate conveyor belt 48 and the rear conveyor belt 49 arranged row of support rollers 50 in the alignment of the support rollers 18 in the switch 4 brought. Once this is done, the frame 51 is conveyed to the center conveyor belt 48 and conveyed from this to the outlet end of the preparation station 36. If the subsequent assembly station 54 is receptive, the frame 51 can arrive without stopping in the assembly station 54 and simultaneously the two glass panels 52 and 53 conveyed from the preparation station 36 in the assembly station 54. If, however, the assembly station 54 is not yet ready to pick up, the frame 51 is stopped in the preparation station 36. The frame 51 and the glass panels 52 and 53 then have the in FIG. 1 taken position shown. Once the assembly station 54 is ready to receive, the frame 51 and the two glass panels 52 and 53 are simultaneously conveyed into the assembly station 54 and moved to the vicinity of the outlet end, where they -. B. gesteuertso be stopped by position sensors that the upright edges of the two glass panels 52, 53 in the conveying direction on the upright edges of the two webs 26 and 27 of the frame 51 are centered. Since the upper runners of the conveyor belts 47, 48 and 49 lie in a common plane, the glass panels 52 and 53 are not yet correctly aligned in height to the height they must occupy in the frame 51, see FIG. 11 ,

Um das zu erreichen, werden die in den beiden Gestellen 63 und 64 der Zusammenbaustation 54 vorgesehenen Sauger 78, durch Betätigen von Pneumatikzylindern 89, an deren Kolbenstange jeweils ein Sauger 78 angebracht ist, bis zu der benachbarten Glastafel 52 bzw. 53 vorgeschoben und aktiviert, so dass die beiden Glastafeln angesaugt werden und in ihrer Lage fixiert sind. Dabei werden nur jene Sauger 78 vorgeschoben und aktiviert, welche für die Länge und Höhe der jeweiligen Glastafeln 52 und 53 benötigt werden. Die Abmessungen der Glastafeln 52, 53 können aus der Fertigungsplanung bekannt und der Steuerung der Zusammenbaustation 54 vorgegeben werden, oder sie können durch Lagesensoren, welche in der Zusammenbauvorrichtung 54 vorgesehen sind, bestimmt werden. Die Traversen 67 und 80 können auf diese Weise automatisch auf das aktuelle Maß der Glastafeln 52, 53 bzw. des zugehörigen Rahmens 51 eingestellt werden. Das Einstellen der Traversen 67 und 80 auf die Abmessungen des aktuellen Rahmens 51 schließt das Ausrichten der Stempel 70, 70a ein, wozu die Schieber 83 in eine solche Position verschoben werden, in welcher die Stempel 70, 70a dem Rand der Glastafeln 52 und 53 in möglichst gleichmäßigen Abständen gegenüberliegen. Nur Sauger 78, welche im Sinne der Figur 9 in dem links unten gelegenen, von den Traversen 67, 77 und 80 sowie von dem Pfosten 65 begrenzten Feld liegen, werden aktiviert. Ergänzend werden die größeren Sauger 85 und 86 gegen die Glastafeln 52 und 53 vorgeschoben und aktiviert.In order to achieve this, the suckers 78 provided in the two racks 63 and 64 of the assembly station 54 are advanced and activated as far as the adjacent glass panel 52 or 53 by actuation of pneumatic cylinders 89, to the piston rod of which a respective suction device 78 is attached. so that the two glass sheets are sucked in and fixed in their position. In this case, only those suckers 78 are advanced and activated, which are required for the length and height of the respective glass panels 52 and 53. The dimensions of the glass panels 52, 53 may be known from manufacturing planning and may be dictated to the control of the assembly station 54, or may be determined by position sensors provided in the assembly apparatus 54. The trusses 67 and 80 can be adjusted in this way automatically to the current dimension of the glass panels 52, 53 and the associated frame 51. The adjustment of the trusses 67 and 80 to the dimensions of the current frame 51 includes the alignment of the punches 70, 70a, for which purpose the slides 83 are displaced to a position in which the punches 70, 70a reach the edge of the glass panels 52, 53 opposite possible uniform distances. Only suckers 78, which in the sense of FIG. 9 in the lower left, by the trusses 67, 77 and 80 and by the post 65 limited field are activated. In addition, the larger suckers 85 and 86 are advanced and activated against the glass sheets 52 and 53.

Gleichzeitig mit den Saugern 78 werden auch die Stempel 70, 70a von ihren Pneumatikzylindern 71 ausgefahren und legen sich an die Glastafeln 52, 53 an, siehe Figur 16. Außerdem wird jetzt die Justiereinrichtung 72 aktiviert. Zu diesem Zweck werden durch Betätigen der Pneumatikzylinder 73 die Leisten 76 ausgefahren, so dass sie unter die Flanken 24 und 25 des oberen Schenkels des Rahmens 51 gelangen, siehe Figur 16.Simultaneously with the suckers 78 and the punch 70, 70a are extended from their pneumatic cylinders 71 and lie against the glass panels 52, 53, see Figure 16. In addition, the adjusting device 72 is now activated. For this purpose, the strips 76 are extended by operating the pneumatic cylinder 73, so that they pass under the flanks 24 and 25 of the upper leg of the frame 51, see FIG. 16 ,

Nun kann der dreibahnige Waageförderer 62 in der Zusammenbaustation 54 abgesenkt werden. Dadurch wird der obere Schenkel des Rahmens 51 auf die Leisten 76 abgesetzt, siehe Figur 17, und ein etwaiger Durchhang des oberen Schenkels des Rahmens 51 wird beseitigt. Der dreibahnige Waagerechtförderer 62 wird soweit abgesenkt, bis die waagerechten Ränder der Glastafeln 52 und 53 auf die waagerechten Ränder der Stege 26 und 27 zentriert sind. Die Stränge 35 aus der Versiegelungsmasse liegen nun den Glastafeln 52, 53 nahe bei ihrem Rand gegenüber.Now the three-lane balance conveyor 62 can be lowered in the assembly station 54. As a result, the upper leg of the frame 51 on the strips 76th deposed, see FIG. 17 , And any slack of the upper leg of the frame 51 is eliminated. The three-lane horizontal conveyor 62 is lowered until the horizontal edges of the glass panels 52 and 53 are centered on the horizontal edges of the webs 26 and 27. The strands 35 of the sealant now lie opposite the glass sheets 52, 53 near their edge.

Als nächstes werden die Balken 58, 59 und 60 angehoben, so dass sich die Stützrollen 61 von den Glastafeln 52, 53 lösen. Dann werden das vordere Gestell 63 und das hintere Gestell 64 beide aufeinander zu bewegt, wodurch sie die Glastafeln 52 und 53 gegen den Strang 35 aus Versiegelungsmasse drücken, welcher sich auf den Stegen 26 und 27 befindet. Die Bewegung der Gestelle 63 und 64 wird dabei durch die Pneumatikzylinder 71 der Stempel 70, 70a abgefedert, welche für ein Anpressen der Glastafeln 52, 53 an die Stege 26 und 27 des Rahmens 51 mit vorgegebenem Druck sorgen, siehe Figur 18.Next, the beams 58, 59 and 60 are raised so that the support rollers 61 disengage from the glass panels 52, 53. Then, the front frame 63 and the rear frame 64 are both moved towards each other, thereby pressing the glass sheets 52 and 53 against the string 35 of sealant which is on the lands 26 and 27. The movement of the frames 63 and 64 is thereby cushioned by the pneumatic cylinder 71 of the punches 70, 70a, which provide for a pressing of the glass sheets 52, 53 to the webs 26 and 27 of the frame 51 with a predetermined pressure, see FIG. 18 ,

Damit ist der Fensterflügel zusammengebaut. Die Pneumatikzylinder der Stempel 70, 70a und der Justiereinrichtung 72 ziehen ihre Kolbenstangen wieder ein, die Sauger 78, 85 und 86 werden deaktiviert und zurückgezogen, der dreibahnige Waagerechtförderer 62 wird wieder auf das ursprüngliche Niveau, welches mit dem Niveau des Waagerechtförderers in der Vorbereitungsstation 36 übereinstimmt, angehoben und der Fensterflügel wird aus der Zusammenbaustation 54 heraus auf einen Auslaufförderer 90 gefördert. Hier können, falls erforderlich, in den Rahmen 51 in an sich bekannter Weise noch Abdeckleisten eingesetzt werden, welche den Rand der Glastafeln 52 und 53 abdecken.This is the window sash assembled. The pneumatic cylinders of the punches 70, 70a and the adjusting device 72 retract their piston rods, the suckers 78, 85 and 86 are deactivated and withdrawn, the three-track horizontal conveyor 62 is restored to the original level, which coincides with the level of the horizontal conveyor in the preparation station 36 coincides, raised and the sash is conveyed out of the assembly station 54 on a discharge conveyor 90. Here, if necessary, in the frame 51 in a conventional manner nor cover strips are used, which cover the edge of the glass panels 52 and 53.

Falls die in den Fensterflügel integrierte Isolierglasscheibe mit einem Schwergas gefüllt werden soll, geschieht das dadurch, dass vor dem Andrücken der einen Glastafel 53 an den Rahmen 51 die hintere Glastafel 53 durch die Sauger 85 und 86 an diagonal gegenüberliegenden Ecken nach außen abgebogen wird - siehe Figur 19 -, wobei durch den Zugang, der durch den Sauger 85 hergestellt wurde, das Schwergas eingeleitet und durch die Öffnung, die durch den Sauger 86 hergestellt wurde, Luft aus dem Zwischenraum zwischen den beiden Glastafeln 52 und 53 verdrängt wird. Ist ein ausreichend hoher Füllgrad des Schwergases erreicht, werden die Sauger 85 und 86 deaktiviert, wodurch sich die Öffnungen infolge des elastischen Rückstellvermögens der Glastafeln 52 und 53 ohne Weiteres schließen und durch Einwirken der pneumatisch betätigen Stempel 70, 70a geschlossen werden. Figur 19 zeigt als Detail den Zugang 91 an einer unteren Ecke des Fensterflügels mit der angesetzten Dichtung 87 und einem Abschnitt der porösen Zuleitung 88, durch welche das Schwergas zugeführt wird, und zwischen der Dichtung 87 und der Glastafel 53 einen Teil des elastomeren Saugtellers des Saugers 85.If the insulating glass pane integrated into the window sash is to be filled with a heavy gas, this is done by bending the rear glass plate 53 outwards against the frame 51 by pressing the glass plate 53 against diagonally opposite corners - see FIG. 19 -, Wherein, by the access, which was produced by the suction 85, the heavy gas introduced and from the opening, which was produced by the sucker 86, air is displaced from the space between the two glass sheets 52 and 53. If a sufficiently high degree of filling of the heavy gas is achieved, the suckers 85 and 86 are deactivated, whereby the openings due to the elastic resilience Close the glass panels 52 and 53 readily and be closed by the action of the pneumatically operated punch 70, 70 a. FIG. 19 shows in detail the access 91 at a lower corner of the sash with the attached seal 87 and a portion of the porous feed line 88 through which the heavy gas is supplied, and between the seal 87 and the glass sheet 53 a portion of the elastomeric suction cup of the suction 85th
