Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of handling, in particular spreading or cutting, adhesive, curable masses by means of a tool.
  • the invention also relates to the use of an apparatus known per se for the purpose according to the method.
  • this invention relates to the handling of adhesive masses.
  • the adhesive masses are in particular intended to mean masses handled while they are soft and typically curing after that. Such masses may be used for example for gluing purposes or as sealants.
  • One such mass is commercially available under product name Sikasil WT-480.
  • the same adhering problem relates to spreading of the mass, as it is difficult to remove the spreading tool from the mass without the removal damaging the end result.
  • the object of this invention to provide a novel method of handling adhesive masses so that the problems of the prior art are avoided.
  • the method according to the invention is characterized in that an ultrasound apparatus is used as the tool, the ultrasonic apparatus having a sonotrode by means of which the handling is performed.
  • One preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the adhesive, curable mass is allowed to run from a dispensing nozzle of the mass and once the dispensing has been completed, the sonotrode of the ultrasonic apparatus is moved from the point of the end of the dispensing nozzle in a back-and-forth motion so that the sonotrode cuts the running mass that falls down, for example into a waste container.
  • Another preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the dispensing nozzle is mounted in a vertical position, and that the sonotrode is moved in a back-and-forth motion in a horizontal direction from below the lower end of the dispensing nozzle.
  • Yet another preferred embodiment of the invention is characterized in that the mass extruded on a substrate is spread by the sonotrode of the ultrasonic apparatus into a substantially even layer.
  • the invention also relates to the use of a sonotrode of an ultrasonic apparatus for working, such as cutting or spreading, adhesive, curable masses.
  • the invention is thus based on the utilization of an ultrasonic cutter, which is known per se, in the handling of adhesive, curable masses.
  • Ultrasound is sound at a frequency above the hearing range of the human ear, i.e. above 20 kHz. Ultrasound is mechanical wave motion of atoms, and therefore it needs a medium for propagation.
  • the most common devices producing ultrasounds are piezoelectric crystals as thin plates. When an alternating voltage is introduced to electrodes at the surface of the plate, the plate expands and compresses in phase with the alternating voltage, producing sound waves.
  • ultrasound is used for welding plastic materials together or cutting materials containing plastic.
  • the technique is extensively used, e.g., in the electronics, automobile, clothing and food industry. Additionally, the ultrasound technique is utilized, e.g., in the manufacture of protective masks and equipment.
  • both of the cutting and spreading of the mass may be done very efficiently with the ultrasonic tool without the tool becoming soiled in any way.
  • Ultrasound works for this purpose so well that the mass does not adhere at all to the tool.
  • the end result will be of uniform quality. This is particularly advantageous if it is often necessary to, so to speak, "cup" the mass, i.e. allow it to run into a cup to prevent sticking of the mass.
  • the sonotrode of an ultrasonic apparatus it is also possible to work, for example clean, already cured mass off an object.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a vertically mounted dispensing nozzle 1 from which an adhesive, curable mass 2 is dispensed.
  • the adhesive, curable mass 2 may be used for example as sealant material or glue.
  • the adhesive, curable mass 2 is typically 1- or 2-component material, for example Sikasil WT-480.
  • Reference number 3 indicates a movable sonotrode of an ultrasonic apparatus (cutter) shaped to be narrower at the end than in the other parts and to be sharp at the tip to make cutting more efficient.
  • the shape of the sonotrode 3 may also be of another type, depending on the need in a given case.
  • Fig. 2 illustrates a situation in which the sonotrode 3 has moved from left to right and cut the excess run of the adhesive mass 2, which thus falls down, for example into a waste container.
  • the drawings do not illustrate the apparatus by which the sonotrode 3 is moved in a horizontal direction, but building one is considered obvious to a person skilled in the art.
  • Fig. 3 and 4 illustrate a substrate 4 on which beads of the adhesive, curable mass 2 have been extruded.
  • the left-hand bead is unworked.
  • the right bead on the other hand, has been levelled or spread by a sonotrode 3 of an ultrasonic apparatus.
  • the sonotrode may be as illustrated in the example of Fig. 1 and 2 , i.e. shaped to be narrower at the end than in the other parts and to be sharp at the tip.
  • the sonotrode moves from left to right while spreading the adhesive, curable mass 2.
  • the apparatus by which the sonotrode 3 is moved has not been illustrated in this example either, but building one is considered obvious to a person skilled in the art.
  • Vibration of the sonotrode 3 of the ultrasonic apparatus gives the effect that the mass 2, normally adhering to all handling tools, does not at all adhere to the sonotrode 3 vibrating at the ultrasound frequency.
  • adhesion of the mass 2 to the sonotrode 3 is prevented by means of the vibration of the sonotrode 3. This consequently improves the uniform quality of the end result and reduces the need to clean the tools.
