Problems solved by technology

However, this is difficult to automate because the robotic arm cannot determine the ideal position for the thin glass disc with sufficient accuracy due to the different projection surfaces
Since the side edges of the glass disks do not yet overlap each other in the initial state, optimum precision cannot be achieved with generally customary positioning aids such as mechanical keys

Embodiment Construction

[0051] figure 1A first variant of the first design of the device according to the invention for receiving, deforming and storing thin glass disks is shown. The device comprises a frame 1 with a top side O and a bottom side U. The top side of the frame 1 is connected to a robot arm 10 by means of which the frame 1 can be moved. The underside U of the frame 1 is equipped with receiving pins 2 which are guided through bore holes in the cover of the underside U. Inside the frame there is an associated spring 5 for each receiving pin 2 which is tensioned between the cover of the frame 1 and the flange on the receiving pin and presses the receiving pin upwards into the frame 1 . On the top side O of the machine frame 1 a model mold 4 is fixed. The former mold 4 is, for example, a hollow mold made of steel with a downwardly directed surface, the curvature of which corresponds to the desired curvature of the glass disk 1 which is to be accommodated and strained with the device.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for picking up, deforming and depositing a thin glass pane, comprising a frame (1) with an upper side (O) and a lower side (U), which is suitable to be directed onto a glass pane (I) having a thickness of less than 1 mm, and which is provided with a plurality of picking-up pins (2) which are arranged substantially parallel to one another and are provided with a suction cup (3) at the end directed onto the glass pane (I), wherein the picking-up pins (2) are movable independently of one another along the direction of their extent in order to adapt the arrangement of the suction cups (3) to an intended shape of the glass pane (I).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device and method for receiving, deforming and storing thin glass discs, especially for precise storage on pre-curved thicker glass discs. Background technique [0002] Composite glass disks are frequently used as vehicle installation glazing, especially as windscreens or roof glazing, but increasingly also as side or rear glazing. It consists of two glass disks, which are connected to each other via a thermoplastic interlayer. In conventional composite glass discs, the typical thickness of the glass disc is about 2 mm. Mounting glazing in the vehicle sector is often curved. Here, the relatively thick individual glass disks of conventional composite glass disks are first heated to the softening temperature and bent. After curing, it has a dimensionally stable bend and is then laminated into a composite glass disk. In order to optimally adapt the shapes of the two glass disks to be joined to one another, they can b...
