  • Valve arrangement for applying flowable media to surfaces Description
  • the present invention relates to a valve arrangement for applying flowable media, in particular glue, on surfaces, with a plurality of individual modules detachably connected to a row, wherein in each case a separating plane is formed between the individual modules adjacent in the row, in which the adjacent individual modules abut each other.
  • DE 40 13 322 A1 From several, connected to a series of individual modules valve assemblies or applicators are known.
  • DE 40 13 322 A1 for example, a multiple application head is shown in which a plurality of individual valve modules are arranged in a frame-like application head.
  • the multiple applicator head is not suitable for the use of hot glue, since the hot glue on its way to the individual valve modules would be cold due to lack of heating elements.
  • Another disadvantage is that the Leimspurabrang the valves arranged in a row is limited by the width of the individual valve modules.
  • a second, parallel row of individual valve modules must be provided, as DE 40 13 322 A1 already suggests, whose individual valve modules are arranged offset in a gap to the individual valves of the first row. With only a single valve module row to create a glue trace distance that is smaller than the valve width, in contrast, is not possible in the context of the teaching of DE 40 13 322 A1.
  • the receptacles delimiting walls of the individual modules interact with the heating element such that the heating element limits or prevents relative movements of the two individual modules in at least one spatial direction.
  • a plurality, particularly preferably each of the aforementioned parting planes of the valve arrangement is assigned in each case such a heating element in this way.
  • the walls delimiting the receptacles are preferably walls which extend transversely or perpendicular to the longitudinal extension or longitudinal direction of the valve arrangement, in particular upright walls.
  • at least one, in particular transversely or perpendicular to the longitudinal extension of the valve assembly in the parting plane extending relative movement is limited or prevented, in particular a relative movement, which also takes place transversely to the longitudinal extent of the heating element.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that such an arrangement of the heating elements leads to a particularly good heat distribution within the entire valve arrangement. If, for example, hot glue is supplied as the flowable medium to the valve arrangement, this can thereby be kept very accurately in all areas of the valve arrangement at the desired temperature or, if appropriate, heated to this temperature.
  • the special arrangement of the heating elements contributes to the fact that the adjacent individual modules can not move in the at least one spatial direction or only to a limited extent relative to one another.
  • a positional fixation which simplifies this assembly particularly.
  • the heating element has a preferably cylindrical lateral surface, which faces the matching, in particular (partially) cylindrical inner surfaces of the opposing receptacles of the adjacent individual modules, in particular bears against these inner surfaces.
  • the inner surfaces are ultimately part of the walls bounding the recordings.
  • the heating element may extend perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the valve assembly, in particular upright, i. from top to bottom.
  • the heating element is preferably an elongate heating cartridge.
  • the lateral surface of the heating element touches the walls of the receptacles in which it sits or the inner surfaces. This in particular over the entire surface to allow a particularly good heat transfer between the heating element and the adjacent walls or the inner surfaces of the individual modules.
  • the individual modules preferably each have a base body with a main medium channel extending in the longitudinal direction of the valve arrangement, which adjoins a corresponding main medium channel of the main body of a single module adjacent in the row.
  • the corresponding main channels of the adjacent individual modules are aligned with each other.
  • a plurality of individual modules of the valve arrangement each have a valve unit detachably attached to a fastening surface of the respective base body (for example via screw connections) with a metering opening for dispensing the medium, in particular a magnetic valve unit.
  • Each basic body of each individual module with such a valve unit also expediently has a medium branch duct leading to the valve unit. This can at an angle, in particular perpendicular, extend to the main medium channel and connect to this.
  • a plurality of the individual modules which are detachably connected to a row in the longitudinal direction or longitudinal extent of the valve arrangement, each have a metering opening arranged on the same side of the valve arrangement for dispensing the medium, in particular the glue.
  • the metering openings of at least two of the individual modules arranged in this row are arranged on an imaginary common, straight, in particular parallel to the longitudinal direction of the valve arrangement extending line.
  • the metering orifice of at least one other individual module of the individual modules arranged in the latter, ie in the same row, is arranged at a distance from the aforementioned line, in particular at a distance relative to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the valve arrangement.
  • the spaced dosing can ultimately be positioned so far "before" the other, arranged on the common line dosing that the dosing of the adjacent single module does not collide with the aforementioned dosing when it is positioned laterally indented in the direction of the dosing of the adjacent single module ,
  • the dosing of this single module can therefore be placed with respect to the longitudinal direction of the valve assembly at a distance from the dosing of the adjacent single module, which is smaller than the width of the individual modules. Accordingly, depending on the positioning of the arranged at a distance from the aforementioned line metering a nearly arbitrarily small track spacing can be realized. This, without - as in the prior art - a second series of individual modules would be necessary.
  • the individual modules with metering opening can each have a particular releasably fastened valve unit with housing into which the respective metering opening is integrated.
  • the individual modules then turn on a corresponding body, each having a mounting surface on which the respective housing of the valve unit is attached.
  • the mounting surface of the main body of that single module whose dosing is not arranged on the imaginary common line is then angled, in particular at right angles, and at a distance from the mounting surfaces of the main body of the other individual modules arranged, the metering openings are positioned on the imaginary common line.
  • the distance is preferably greater than the housing of the respective valve unit is wide.
  • all mounting surfaces of the main body of the individual modules, the metering openings are arranged on the imaginary common line, in a common plane or are aligned with each other.
  • the mounting surface of the body of that single module, whose dosing is arranged at a distance from the line is at an angle, in particular perpendicular, and at a distance from this plane or is arranged accordingly.
  • the housing of the valve unit of that single module, the metering is not arranged on the imaginary common line, relative to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal extent of the valve assembly so laterally offset behind the housing of the valve unit of a series adjacent single module on the Placed imaginary common line lying dosing that the two housings of the two individual modules overlap in the direction of the longitudinal extension of the valve assembly.
  • the width of the main body or the width of the valve unit or of the housing naturally relate to the outer dimensions in the longitudinal direction of the valve arrangement.
  • Fig. 1 is a front view of a valve assembly of a plurality of individual valves, a plan view of the valve assembly of FIG. 1 corresponding to the viewing direction II in Fig. 1, a section through the valve assembly according to the section line

In the present case, these are relative movements with movement components which are at the same time directed transversely to the longitudinal extent of the heating element 17 and transversely to the longitudinal extension of the valve arrangement 10. In order to limit or prevent relative movements of adjacent base body 19 with movement components, which are also directed parallel to the longitudinal extent of the heating element 17 and transversely to the longitudinal extent of the valve arrangement 10, cf. Movement arrow 47c in Fig. 8, the dividing planes 13 is additionally assigned a corresponding key 48 in each case.
  • This key 48 is seated respectively in matching, opposite recesses 49 of the opposite (outer) sides of the adjacent base body 19.
  • these recesses 49 are introduced into the corresponding flange 33 or likewise milled.
  • the above-mentioned position fixings are particularly helpful in the assembly of the individual modules 1 1.1 -1 1 .1 1 before the described connection is made via the screws 45.
  • Another special feature is the individual module 1 1 .10. Like the other individual modules 1 1.2, 1 1 .4, 1 1.6, 1 1 .7, 1 1.9 and although it has a valve unit 14 on. However, this valve unit 14 is arranged offset relative to the other valve units 14 of the other modules 1 1 .2, 1 1.4, 1 1 .6, 1 1.7, 1 1.9 in the (horizontal) direction transverse to the longitudinal extent of the valve assembly 10 to the front.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un ensemble de vannes de dépôt de milieux fluides, en particulier de colle, sur des surfaces, comprenant plusieurs modules individuels (11.1-11.11) reliés de manière démontable pour former une rangée. Selon l'invention, entre les modules individuels adjacents dans une rangée (11.1-11.11), il est formé un plan de séparation (13) respectif dans lequel les modules individuels (11.1-11.11) adjacents sont juxtaposés. L'invention est caractérisée en ce qu'un organe de chauffage (17) est associé à au moins un plan de séparation (13) afin de réchauffer l'ensemble de vannes (10), de préférence un organe de chauffage (17) est associé à chaque fois à plusieurs ou à l'ensemble des plans de séparation (13). Cet organe de chauffage (17) est monté dans des logements (46) des deux modules individuels adjacents (11.1-11.11) qui sont adaptés, opposés et disposés de chaque côté des plans de séparation (13) et il coopère avec des parois (46a) des modules individuels (11.1-11.11) qui délimitent les logements (46) de manière à empêcher tous les déplacements relatifs des deux modules individuels (11.1-11.11) dans au moins une direction spatiale.
