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.
- the sash with integrated insulating glass is completed.
- the known sashlite method is largely performed manually.
- the disadvantage is that the personnel costs are high and quality defects are inevitable.
- the device according to the invention is the subject of claim 1.
- Advantageous developments of the device are the subject of the dependent claims.
- 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.
- 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.

- the movement of the slides can be coupled with the movement of the movable trusses.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- a heavy gas 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.
- 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.

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
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.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung ist Gegenstand des Patentanspruchs 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Vorrichtung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.The device according to the invention is the subject of

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 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.

Die Fertigungslinie hat einen ersten Waagerechtförderer 1 und einen schräg dazu verlaufenden zweiten Waagerechtförderer 2, welche in eine waagerecht fördernde Weiche 4 münden, an welche an dritter Waagerechtförderer 3 anschließt, welcher in der Flucht des ersten Waagerechtförderers 1 angeordnet ist. 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
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
Im Abschnitt 11 des zweiten Waagerechtförderers 2 werden die aus den Kunststoff-Hohlprofilen 21 gebildeten Rahmen auf den Waagerechtförderer 2 aufgegeben.In
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
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
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

Die Vorbereitungsstation 36 ist in den
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
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
Die Zusammenbaustation 54 ist in den
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.
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
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
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 denFensterflügel benötigte Rahmen 51, welcher aus Kunststoff-Hohlprofilen vorgefertigt ist, wird aufden 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 aufden Abschnitt 8 des ersten Waagerechtförderers 1, auf welchem sie erforderlichenfalls gestaut werden können, wenn dieWeiche 4 oder die ihr nachfolgende Vorbereitungsstation 36 noch nicht aufnahmebereit sein sollten.Die Weiche 4 ist für dieGlastafeln 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 dieWeiche 4 gefördert.Wenn die Vorbereitungsstation 36 aufnahmebereit ist, wird sie durch Querverschieben so positioniert, dass entweder die hinterdem hinteren Förderriemen 49 angeordneten Stützrollen 50 oder die zwischendem vorderen Förderriemen 47 unddem mittleren Förderriemen 48 angeordneten Stützrollen 50mit den Stützrollen 18der Weiche 4 fluchten. Im zuletzt genannten Fall wird dann die erste Glastafel 52 aufden vorderen Förderriemen 47 gefördert, von diesem bis kurz vor dasAuslaufende der Vorbereitungsstation 36 gefördert und dort angehalten. Dann wird durch Querverschieben des Gestells 39 die für die zweite Glastafel 53 bestimmte Förderbahn mitdem hinteren Förderriemen 49 in die Flucht derWeiche 4 verschoben und diezweite Glastafel 53von der Weiche 4 aufden 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 mitdem breiteren Förderriemen 48 mit dem ersten Waagerechtförderer 1 fluchtet.
- The two
52 and 53 required for a window sash are placed on theglass panels section 5 of the firsthorizontal conveyor 1. Theframe 51 required for the window sash, which is prefabricated from hollow plastic profiles, is fed onto thesection 11 of the second horizontal conveyor 2. The 52 and 53 are successively conveyed through the washing and drying machine 6, can be checked for purity inglass panels section 7 of the firsthorizontal conveyor 1, reach thesection 8 of the firsthorizontal conveyor 1, on which they can be stowed if necessary, when theswitch 4 or thesubsequent preparation station 36 should not yet be ready for recording. Theswitch 4 is receptive to the 52 and 53 when it is aligned with the firstglass panels horizontal conveyor 1 and is empty. In this case, the two 52 and 53 are successively conveyed to theglass sheets switch 4. When thepreparation station 36 is ready to receive, it is positioned by moving it in a transverse position so that either thesupport rollers 50 located behind therear conveyor belt 49 or thesupport rollers 50 located between thefront conveyor belt 47 and thecenter conveyor belt 48 are aligned with thesupport rollers 18 of theswitch 4. In the latter case, thefirst glass panel 52 is then conveyed to thefront conveyor belt 47, promoted from this until shortly before the outlet end of thepreparation station 36 and stopped there. Then, by moving theframe 39 transversely, the conveyor belt intended for thesecond glass panel 53 is displaced with therear conveyor belt 49 into alignment with theswitch 4 and thesecond glass panel 53 is conveyed by theswitch 4 onto therear conveyor belt 49, which feeds it to the outlet end of thepreparation station 36 and stops them there. Subsequently, the three-lanehorizontal conveyor 62 is positioned so that its middle Conveyor track with thewider conveyor belt 48 with the firsthorizontal 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
