Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a system for supplying a nozzle with an adhesive or sealant to be processed by hot melting, which is to be applied to a workpiece with the nozzle.
- Adhesives to be processed by hot melting referred to in German as hot melt adhesive, in English as hot melts, must be melted in order to develop their adhesiveness. These are mostly thermoplastic plastics or mixtures of plastics with resins and waxes. In addition, there are similar substances to be processed by hot melting, which are suitable as sealants.
- the object of the present invention is to show a way in which adhesives and sealants to be processed by hot melting can be processed with less effort and yet precisely, in particular in automobile production. This should also apply in particular to those adhesives and sealants which contain an admixture which decomposes when heated, releasing gaseous substances and thereby foams the adhesive or sealant. These substances are used in automobile manufacturing to create the adhesive or - 3 -
- Claim 33 claims protection for the use of a system according to one of Claims 18 to 30 for adhesives or sealants which can be inflated or foamed by heating.
- Claim 34 claims protection for the use of a method according to one of Claims 1 and 17 for adhesives or sealants which can be inflated or foamed by heating.
- Claim 35 claims protection for the use of a heated gear pump for plasticizing granular adhesive or sealant, in particular one which can be inflated or foamed by heating.
- neither strands are prefabricated from the adhesive or sealant, nor is the adhesive or sealant processed from a barrel at the respective work station. Rather, the adhesive or sealant is stored in granulate form in a storage container and is still conveyed in granulate form to the work station at which the nozzle is located, with which the adhesive or sealant is to be applied to a workpiece. Since these are substances that have to be processed by hot melting, they are dry at room temperature and are not or not so sticky that they are conveyed using conveying devices such as those known in the plastics processing industry for conveying plastics granules to let.
- a sack or another container suitable for granules can be suspended as a storage container above the plasticizing device and emptied into it by gravity. Such a sack does not require any floor space, can be completely emptied and folded away to save space. Such a sack or container with granules as content can be changed much more easily and quickly than a barrel from which plasticized adhesive is conveyed out.
- Any number of workplaces can be supplied from a central silo in a space-saving manner using proven pneumatic conveyor systems that can be installed overhead.
- the easiest way to convey the granulate from the storage container to the workplace is at room temperature, but in principle it could also take place at an elevated temperature at which the adhesive or sealant is still granular and suitable for pneumatic conveying.
- the conveying process could be used to preheat the granulate with heated air, thereby facilitating and accelerating plasticizing at the workplace.
- the adhesive or sealant could be temporarily stored in a certain amount at the workplace after plasticizing.
- the advantages of the invention come into play, in particular, when the adhesive or sealant is plasticized at the workplace in the course of a run, whereby it may be advantageous to temporarily store a certain amount of the granules at the workplace before it is plasticized to avoid possible fluctuations in the Delivery capacity to be independent or in order to get by with a lower delivery rate using intermittent application of adhesive. It is particularly expedient to temporarily store the granulate in the pass and to use a pass-through container, in particular a funnel, which has an inlet at the top and an outlet at the bottom and in which level sensors which the suction conveyor unit or slide in a delivery line control, keep the level between a minimum and a maximum level.
- the adhesive or sealant granulate can be plasticized directly in a pump suitable for pumping the plasticized adhesive or sealant, so that this procedure is preferred according to the invention.
- the use of a gear pump has proven to be particularly suitable. It is able to pull in the granulate and plasticize it by a combination of heating and compression.
- the gear pump does not have to be supplied with the granules with pre-pressure. It has even been shown that it is advantageous to dispense with a larger form. However, it is advisable to ensure that the granulate does not migrate back from the inlet of the gear pump.
- a particularly suitable means for this is a screw, which is provided in the conveying path of the granulate before the inlet of the gear pump and has a relatively large pitch, preferably 3 cm to 5 cm, so that the screw has a conveying effect, but does not generate any appreciable conveying pressure.
- gear pump is also particularly advantageous because it can be shut down, switched on and controlled in terms of its speed and thus its delivery rate practically without delay in accordance with the adhesive requirement at the nozzle. It is also advantageous that it has only a small chamber volume, so that there are only a few adhesives or sealants in the pump during interruptions in operation, which makes it easier to restart the pump.
- the adhesive or sealant has intimate contact with a relatively large wall area formed by the housing and the gearwheels, so that an excellent heat transfer is possible when the pump is heated, the poor heat conduction in the adhesive or sealant due to the intimate interlocking does not adversely affect the gear pump.
- the temperature of the pump is preferably regulated to a preselected value. To facilitate this, it is advisable to provide separate heating circuits for different parts of the pump, e.g. one or two heating circuits for the two gearwheels, one or two heating circuits for the central housing, another heating circuit for the housing inlet and another heating circuit for the housing outlet.
- the delivery line from the pump to the nozzle is also preferably heated, in particular by electrical means. Temperature control is the best way of ensuring that, on the one hand, a lower temperature threshold required for workability is not exceeded and, on the other hand, a preselected upper temperature threshold is not exceeded .
- FIG. 1 shows an installation for carrying out the invention
- Figure 2 shows the essential components of the system provided at the workplace in a side view
- Figure 3 shows the components of Figure 2 in a partially vertical sectional view.
- FIG. 1 shows a storage container 1 for a granular adhesive or sealant, e.g. a silo, of which several delivery lines 2, 3 and 4, in which gate valves 5 are located, lead to a corresponding number of workplaces 6, of which only one is shown as an example.
- the conveying line 4 leads into a funnel 7, to which two fill level sensors 8 and 9 are assigned, which ensure that the level of the granules in the funnel 7 lies between a minimum and a maximum fill level.
- an outlet pipe 10 is provided, in which a screw 11 (see FIG. 3), which has a large pitch, is rotatably mounted.
- the screw 11 feeds the granules to a heated gear pump 12, which plasticizes the granules and leads through a heatable pressure hose 13 to a nozzle head 14, which is handled by a robot 15.
- FIG. 2 shows a frame 16 which carries the hopper 7, the gear pump 12 and further devices and units provided for the processing and application of the adhesive or sealant.
- An electric motor 17 is provided for driving the spindle, which drives the screw 11 from above, through the funnel 7, via a shaft 18 (see FIG. 3).
- a coupling part 19 made of rubber is inserted into the shaft 18 to limit the torque. - 10 -
- the gear pump 12 is driven by a hydraulic motor 20, which in turn is supplied with pressure oil by a hydraulic unit 21.
- the worm 11 extends to the inlet of the gear pump 12.
- a ball valve 23 is provided, which is not absolutely necessary.
- a pipe 24 leads from the ball valve 23 via a pipe screw connection 24a to a rotary slide valve 25 which is driven by means of a swivel wing cylinder 26 driven by pressure medium.
- the ball valve 23 is not shown.
- the heatable pressure hose 13 extends from the rotary slide valve 25, which leads to the nozzle head 14, which has a nozzle 27 at the lower end, which is actuated from above by a shut-off valve, e.g. a needle valve that can be closed.
- a drive 28 of the needle valve is located in the upper area of the nozzle head 14.
- the granules are fed by gravity, supported by the screw 11, to the gear pump 12, which is heated and plasticizes the granules by heating in connection with compression and via the pipe 24, the rotary valve 25 and the hose 13
- Nozzle 27 conveys which can be guided over a workpiece by the robot 15 on a predetermined path.
