Kaarelle taivutettava tukirakenne lasilevyjen taivutus- ja/tai karkaisuosastos-saCurved support structure in the bending and / or tempering section of glass sheets
Keksinnön kohteena on kaarelle taivutettava tukirakenne lasilevyjen taivutus-5 ja/tai karkaisuosastossa, johon tukirakenteeseen kuuluu joukko nivelrunkoja, jotka on kiinnitetty toisiinsa nivelakseleilla, ja nivelrunkojen välillä olevat oh-jausnivelmekanismit, jotka ohjaavat tukirakenteen taipumaan vakiosäteiselle kaarelle.The invention relates to a curved support structure in a bending 5 and / or tempering section of glass sheets, which support structure includes a plurality of articulated bodies fastened to each other by articulated shafts, and steering link mechanisms between the articulated bodies that direct the support structure to bend at a constant radius.
10 Tällainen tukirakenne tunnetaan hakijan patenttijulkaisusta EP-1 385 795. Tämä tukirakenne on osoittautunut erittäin käyttökelpoiseksi. Keksinnön tarkoituksena on edelleenkehittää tätä tukirakennetta siten, että pitkätkin tukirakenteet saadaan taivutetuksi tarkasti vakiosäteiselle kaarelle yksinkertaisilla ja edullisilla toimilaitteilla ilman, että nivelvälykset muodostuvat haittaavaksi 15 tekijäksi tai jopa niin, että nivelvälyksiä voidaan käyttää hyväksi hyvin pienten tarkoituksellisten kaarevuuspoikkeamien aikaansaamiseksi.Such a support structure is known from the applicant's patent publication EP-1 385 795. This support structure has proven to be very useful. It is an object of the invention to further develop this support structure so that even long support structures can be precisely bent to a constant radius arc by simple and inexpensive actuators, without the joints becoming a nuisance or even being used to make very small intentional cuts.
Tämä tarkoitus saavutetaan keksinnöllä oheisessa patenttivaatimuksessa 1 esitettyjen tunnusmerkkien perusteella. Epäitsenäisissä patenttivaatimuksissa 20 on esitetty keksinnön edullisia suoritusmuotoja.This object is achieved by the invention on the basis of the features set forth in claim 1. Preferred embodiments of the invention are disclosed in the dependent claims 20.
Seuraavassa keksintöä havainnollistetaan suoritusesimerkin avulla viittaamalla oheisiin piirustuksiin, joissa 25 Kuvio 1 esittää keksinnön mukaista tukirakennetta ja sen taivutuslaitteis-toa sivulta nähtynä;In the following, the invention will be illustrated by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1 is a side view of the support structure according to the invention and its bending apparatus;
Kuvio 2 esittää lähemmin osaa tukirakenteesta sivulta nähtynä; ja 30 Kuvio 3 esittää kuvion 2 mukaista tukirakennetta suoraksi oikaistuna.Figure 2 is a side elevational view of a portion of the support structure; and FIG. 3 shows the support structure of FIG. 2, straightened.

Kuviossa 1 on esitetty pystylinjan 6 vasemmalla puolella taivutuskuljettimen tukirakenne 4 ja oikealla puolella karkaisukuljettimen tukirakenne 5. Tukirakenteet 4, 5 liittyvät toisiinsa ilman mekaanista kytkentää nivelkohdassa 6a, jolloin tukirakenteet 4 ja 5 voidaan haluttaessa irrottaa toisistaan. Tukiraken-5 teiden 4 ja 5 välinen nivelpiste 6a pysyy paikallaan, jolloin tukirakenteen 4 alkupäätä ja tukirakenteen 5 loppupäätä nostamalla ja laskemalla tukirakenne saadaan halutulle kaarelle ja suoraksi. Tukirakenteiden 4 ja 5 avulla kannatetaan taivutuskuljettimen ja karkaisukuljettimen kuljetinteloja. Tukirakenteisiin 4 ja 5 kuuluu kuljettimien sivuilla, siis telojen molemmissa päissä ole-10 vat nivelrungot 9, joihin kuljetintelojen laakerit on kiinnitetty. Nivelrungot 9 puolestaan liittyvät toisiinsa kuvioissa 2 ja 3 esitetyllä nivelmekanismilla, joka pakottaa nivelrungot kääntymään toisiinsa nähden saman verran kun tukirakennetta 4, 5 kaareutetaan. Kuhunkin nivelrunkoon 9 liittyvään nivelmeka-nismiin kuuluu kolme nivelvartta 1, 2, 3, jotka kytkevät kulloinkin kolme ni-15 velrunkoa 9 keskenään siten, että nivelrungot 9 ovat pakotetut kääntymään keskenään saman verran, jolloin koko tukirakenne taipuu vakiosäteiselle kaarelle. Nivelvarsien 1, 2, 3 nivelpisteiden sijoittelua on selostettu tarkemmin patenttijulkaisussa EP-1 385 795 (Bl), joten sitä ei tässä tarkemmin selosteta.Fig. 1 shows the support structure 4 of the bending conveyor on the left side of the vertical line 6 and the support structure 5 of the hardening conveyor on the right side. The support structures 4, 5 are interconnected without mechanical coupling at the joint 6a, whereupon the support structures 4 and 5 can be detached. The pivot point 6a between the support structures 5 and 4 is held in place so that by raising and lowering the initial end of the support structure 4 and the end of the support structure 5, the support structure is brought to the desired curve and straight. The support structures 4 and 5 support the conveyor rolls of the bending conveyor and the tempering conveyor. The support structures 4 and 5 include articulated bodies 9 on both sides of the conveyors, i.e. at both ends of the rolls, to which the bearings of the conveyor rollers are attached. The articulated bodies 9, in turn, are interconnected by the articulation mechanism shown in Figures 2 and 3, which forces the articulated bodies to pivot relative to one another when the support structure 4, 5 is curved. Each articulation mechanism associated with the articulated body 9 comprises three articulated arms 1, 2, 3, each of which engages three ni-15 articulated bodies 9 so that the articulated bodies 9 are forced to pivot with one another, thereby bending the entire support structure to a constant radius. The arrangement of the pivot points of the articulated arms 1, 2, 3 is described in more detail in EP-A-1 385 795 (B1) and is not further described herein.

Kuviossa 1 on näytetty servomoottori 10, joka kytkimen välityksellä käyttää kuularuuvia 10a, joka puolestaan työntää ja/tai kääntää vipuvarsistoa 11, jonka varassa nivelrunkojen 9 muodostama tukirakenne lepää. Tukirakenteen 4 kaarevuussäde Rl on säädettävissä servomoottorilla 10.Fig. 1 shows a servo motor 10 which, via a coupling, drives a ball screw 10a, which in turn pushes and / or pivots a lever arm 11 on which the support structure formed by the articulated bodies 9 rests. The radius of curvature R1 of the support structure 4 is adjustable by the servomotor 10.

Karkaisukuljettimen tukirakenteen 5 taivutusmekanismiin kuuluu servomoottori SM1 ja sen käyttämä kuularuuvi 12a, joka varsien 12b välityksellä kaa-reuttaa nivelrunkojen 9 muodostamaa siltaa ja samalla koko tukirakenteen 5 kannattamaa kuljetinta. Varret 12b tarttuvat pienen matkan päähän tukira-30 kenteen 5 päistä. Toinen servomoottori SM2 käyttää kulmavaihteella 16 kuu-laruuveja 17, jotka tarttuvat tukirakenteen 5 vastakkaisiin ulkopäihin. Servo-moottoreiden SM1 ja SM2 toiminnat on synkronoitu sähköisellä vaihdelaati- 3 kolia siten, että ne taivuttavat tukirakennetta 5 samalle kaarevuussäteelle. Kun eri servomoottorit SM1 ja SM2 kaareuttavat tukirakenteen 5 eri osapi-tuuksia, saavutetaan se etu, että eliminoidaan nivelten kulumisesta aiheutuvien välysten synnyttämät epätarkkuudet tukirakenteen 5 ja sen kannatta-5 man kuljettimen kaarevuudessa. Erityisesti keskialueen ja päiden kaarevuudet saadaan pysymään samoina.The bending mechanism of the quenching conveyor support structure 5 includes a servo motor SM1 and a ball screw 12a driven by it which, through the arms 12b, curves the bridge formed by the articulated bodies 9 and at the same time the conveyor supported by the support structure 5. The arms 12b engage a short distance from the ends of the field 5 of the support 30. The second servomotor SM2 drives the ball screws 17 at the angular gear 16 which engage the opposite outer ends of the support structure 5. The functions of the SM1 and SM2 servo motors are synchronized with an electric gearbox 3 so that they bend the support structure 5 to the same radius of curvature. When the different servomotors SM1 and SM2 curve at different sections of the support structure 5, the advantage is obtained that the inaccuracies in the curvature of the support structure 5 and its carrier 5 caused by the wear of the joints are eliminated. In particular, the curvature of the middle region and the ends can be maintained.
Esitetyssä edullisessa suoritusmuodossa taivutettavan tukirakenteen 5 ensimmäinen osapituus on tukirakenteen keskialueella ja toinen osapituus tuki-10 rakenteen päätyalueilla. Kyseinen tukirakenne 5 on edullisesti karkaisukuljet-timen tukirakenne, joka on tyypillisesti pitempi kuin taivutuskuljettimen tukirakenne 4. Keksinnön edullisessa suoritusmuodossa karkaisukuljettimen tukirakennetta 5 edeltää taivutuskuljettimen tukirakenne 4, jolla on oma erillinen servokäyttö 10, 10a, 11 tukirakenteen 4 taivuttamiseksi vakiosäteiselle kaa-15 relle Rl. Kun tukirakenteen 4 loppupää pysyy paikallaan ja alkupäätä nostetaan servolla 10, voidaan myös tässä nivelmekanismien välykset hallita niin, että tukirakenne 4 saadaan aina taivutetuksi halutulla kaarevuussäteellä.In the preferred embodiment shown, the first partial length of the support structure 5 to be bent is in the middle region of the support structure and the second part length in the end regions of the support structure 10. Preferably, said support structure 5 is a tempering conveyor support structure which is typically longer than a bending conveyor support structure 4. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the tempering conveyor support structure 5 is preceded by a bending conveyor support structure 4 having its own separate servo drive 10; When the end of the support structure 4 remains stationary and the end end is raised by the servo 10, the play of the articulation mechanisms can also be controlled so that the support structure 4 is always bent with the desired radius of curvature.
