Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for applying a viscous material to a workpiece, in particular for applying an adhesive or sealant to a motor vehicle body component, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Applicator devices for viscous materials are already widely used in the application of adhesives and sealants to body parts in motor vehicle production.
  • an application nozzle having a material outlet opening is mounted on a nozzle carrier, which in turn is usually mounted on a robot arm.
  • An application channel extends through the nozzle carrier and the application nozzle to the material outlet opening, into which the material to be applied is introduced by means of one or more feed lines.
  • the connection between the application nozzle and the nozzle carrier is rigid.
  • the connection between the application nozzle and the nozzle carrier is acted upon by forces which can cause increased wear. The same is true when the application nozzle hits an obstacle. If the application nozzle is bent or otherwise damaged, a reliable material application is no longer possible.
  • a device of the type mentioned which has a supply line which is inserted into a nozzle head.
  • the nozzle head can be deflected laterally in a targeted manner with respect to the feed line against the restoring force of a spring.
  • an applicator for application known from adhesive on body parts, which has an elastic connection that enables an evasive movement.
  • the invention is based on the idea that a limited mobility of the application nozzle relative to the nozzle carrier reduces the wear of the components, since when the application nozzle is acted on by external forces, for example when frictional forces occur when moving the nozzle on the workpiece surface or when starting against a Obstacle that the application nozzle can evade the acting force by moving relative to the nozzle carrier. External forces acting on the application nozzle are thereby minimized, so that the wear on the application nozzle and the nozzle carrier is reduced.
  • the robot path can be considerably simplified, since such high precision is no longer required in the nozzle position.
  • the elastically movable application nozzle can also compensate for manufacturing tolerances of the workpieces, so that there is no need to measure them.
  • the connecting parts are releasably attached to one another by means of at least two connecting pins.
  • each connecting pin penetrates both connecting parts at least partially and is arranged to be immovable transversely to its longitudinal extension in one of the connecting parts and to be movable to a limited extent in the other connecting part.
  • the connecting pins are each immovable transversely to their longitudinal extension with respect to the second connection part and are movable to a limited extent with respect to the first connection part.
  • the connecting pins are arranged in pairs parallel to one another.
  • the first connecting part expediently has a cylindrical outer contour, while the second connecting part has a cylindrical inner contour.
  • the limited mobility of the application nozzle with respect to the nozzle carrier is achieved in that the outside diameter of the first connection part is smaller than the inside diameter of the second connection part.
  • An elastic sealing ring arranged between the connecting parts is expediently used as the restoring element. This also seals the connection parts against one another and prevents material from escaping in the area of the connection parts.
  • the connecting pins expediently each extend through a hole in the second connecting part and a recess in the first connecting part which is open at the edge of the outer surface of the first connecting part. It is preferred that the nozzle carrier has the first connection part, while the application nozzle has the second connection part.
  • the application device 10 shown in the drawing is used to apply viscous material such as adhesive or sealant to workpieces, for example to body components in motor vehicle production. It is mounted on a robot arm 12 shown schematically in the drawing, with the aid of which it can be moved relative to the workpiece.
  • the application device 10 has an application nozzle 14 which is detachably mounted on a nozzle carrier 16.
  • An application channel 18 for the viscous material extends through the nozzle carrier 16 and the application nozzle 14 to a material outlet opening 20 at the free end of the application nozzle 14.
  • the viscous material is introduced into the application channel 18 and conveyed under pressure to the material outlet opening 20, where it emerges and is applied to the respective workpiece.
  • the nozzle carrier 16 has a first connecting part 22 which has a cylindrical outer contour.
  • the application nozzle 14, on the other hand, has a second connection part 24 at its end facing the nozzle carrier 16, which has a cylindrical inner contour and in which the first connection part 22 is received, the second connection part 24 surrounding the first connection part 22.
  • the outside diameter of the first connection part 22 is smaller than the inside diameter of the second connection part 24, so that there is enough play between the two connection parts 22, 24 to be able to tilt the application nozzle 14 relative to the nozzle carrier 16 to a limited extent.
  • Two holes 26a, 26b running parallel to one another extend through the second connection part 24 and each communicate with an open-edged recess 28a, 28b in the lateral surface 30 of the first connection part 22.
  • a connecting pin 32a, 32b is inserted into each of the holes, the circular cross section of which corresponds to the cross section of the associated hole 26a, 26b.
  • a first connecting pin 32a has a larger diameter than a second connecting pin 32b.
  • the two connecting pins 32a, 32b are connected to one another in one piece by means of a connecting element 34.
  • Each of the recesses 28a, 28b has a width transverse to the longitudinal extension of the connecting pins 32a, 32b which is greater than the diameter of the associated hole 26a, 26b.
  • the connecting pins 32a, 32b can be tilted to a limited extent relative to the nozzle carrier 16, which also results in a tilting of the application nozzle 14 connected immovably to the connecting pins 32a, 32b transversely to the longitudinal extension thereof.
  • An elastically deformable sealing ring 38 is arranged between the connecting parts 22, 24, resting on an end face 36 of the first connecting part 22, which prevents the application nozzle 14 from tilting relative to the nozzle carrier 16 from the position shown in FIG Fig. 2
  • the basic position shown opposes a restoring force and also seals the connecting parts 22, 24 from one another.
  • the connection between The application nozzle 14 and the nozzle carrier 16 can be easily detached to remove the application nozzle 14 by gripping the connecting pins 32a, 32b on the connecting element 34 and pulling them out.
  • the invention relates to a device 10 for applying a viscous material to a workpiece, in particular for applying an adhesive or sealant to a motor vehicle body component, with an application nozzle 14 having a material outlet opening 20 and with a nozzle carrier carrying the application nozzle 14 16, to which the application nozzle 14 is releasably attached, an application channel 18 extending through the nozzle carrier 16 and the application nozzle 14 to the material outlet opening 20, the nozzle carrier 16 and the application nozzle 14 each having a connection section 22, 24, with a first connection section 22 is inserted into a second connection part 24 and is encompassed by this all around, and the connection parts 22, 24 are movable to a limited extent relative to one another against the restoring force of an elastic restoring element 38 from a basic position.
  • the connecting parts 22, 24 are releasably fastened to one another by means of at least two connecting pins 32a, 32b, each connecting pin 32a, 32b at least partially penetrating both connecting parts 22, 24 and immovable transversely to its longitudinal extension in one of the connecting parts 22, 24 in the other connecting part 22, 24 is arranged to be movable to a limited extent.
