Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of insulating glass processing equipment, and in particular to a sealant applicator for bending tempered insulating glass. Background Technology

[0002] Insulating glass is a new type of building material that offers excellent heat and sound insulation, is aesthetically pleasing and practical, and can reduce the building's weight. It is made of two (or three) panes of glass bonded together with a high-strength, airtight composite adhesive. A caulking machine is needed during the bonding process. While automated caulking machines are available on the market, they are relatively expensive. Therefore, smaller glass processing plants often still use manual caulking equipment, where workers manually apply the caulking gun along the side of the insulating glass pane.

[0003] However, because the glue gun of the glue applicator is connected to the glue delivery tube, it is relatively heavy and therefore more cumbersome to operate. It requires workers to concentrate fully on the glue application, resulting in a high overall workload. Workers must also keep their hands steady while applying the glue, as any shaking can easily cause the glue to be applied off-center. This is especially true when the glass size is large, as workers need to move while applying the glue, which can easily lead to the glue gun jumping off-center, affecting the glue application quality. Therefore, it is necessary to design a glue application component to ensure that workers do not easily apply the glue off-center when holding the glue gun, thereby ensuring the glue application quality of insulated glass and improving the convenience and labor-saving of workers in the glue application process. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this application is to provide a sealant applicator for bending tempered insulating glass, which can ensure that the sealant gun will not wobble when the worker applies sealant, thereby improving the sealant application quality of insulating glass and improving the convenience and labor-saving of the worker's sealant application work.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A sealant applicator for bending tempered insulating glass includes a frame, a sealant applicator body, a central control box, a support turntable, and a sealant gun.

[0008] The upper movable plate and the lower movable plate are slidably connected to the connecting plate. The upper movable plate and the lower movable plate are symmetrical about the glue gun. A wheel frame is fixedly connected to the side of the upper movable plate near the lower movable plate and the side of the lower movable plate near the upper movable plate.

[0009] A rubber roller is rotatably connected to a wheel frame, and the axis of the rubber roller is perpendicular to the feed direction of the glue gun;

[0010] A drive mechanism, mounted on the connecting plate, is used to control the upper and lower movable plates to move closer or further apart from each other.

[0017] An adjusting gear is rotatably connected to a connecting plate. The adjusting gear is located between a driving rack and a driven rack, and both the driving rack and the driven rack are meshed with the adjusting gear.

[0018] In one embodiment, an ultrasonic ranging device for measuring the distance between the upper movable plate and / or the lower movable plate and the glass is installed on the upper movable plate and / or the lower movable plate.

[0019] In one embodiment, the glue gun is rotatably connected to the connecting plate, and a locking mechanism is installed at the rotatable connection between the glue gun and the connecting plate to lock the rotational movement of the glue gun and the connecting plate.

[0020] In one embodiment, the locking mechanism includes a mounting ring fixed to the side of the connecting plate away from the upper movable plate; the side of the connecting plate away from the upper movable plate is also fixed to a mounting plate; a T-shaped locking pin is slidably connected to the mounting ring; a compression spring is installed between the locking pin and the mounting plate; a locking ring post is coaxially arranged inside the mounting ring; the locking ring post has multiple locking grooves; the locking ring post is coaxially fixed to the glue gun; and the locking pin abuts against one of the locking grooves.

[0021] In one embodiment, there are multiple rubber rollers, which are arranged in multiple rows and columns.

[0022] In one embodiment, an auxiliary roller is installed on one side of the connecting plate.

[0023] In one embodiment, a scraper is installed on the side of the connecting plate away from the auxiliary roller, and the scraper abuts against the side of the insulating glass when applying sealant.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following advantages:

[0025] The upper and lower movable plates are brought closer together by a drive mechanism, and their rubber rollers clamp them onto the central control glass.

[0041] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] Reference Figures 1-4 This application provides a sealant applicator for bending tempered insulating glass 700, comprising a frame 100, on which a sealant applicator body 110 is mounted. The sealant applicator body 110 mainly includes a sealant pump, a lifting mechanism, a pneumatic system, a proportional lever, and a sealant mixing system. The sealant applicator body is connected to a sealant gun 140 via pipe fittings. A central control box 120 is also mounted on the frame 100, which is used to control various actions of the sealant applicator, such as starting and stopping the sealant pump, raising and lowering the lifting mechanism, and adjusting the proportional lever. The sealant applicator also includes a support turntable 130, on which four suction cups are mounted. The insulating glass 700 to be sealed is placed on the support turntable 130 and fixed by suction cups.

[0043] Furthermore, this embodiment of the application also includes an auxiliary glue applicator 200, which is installed at the nozzle of the glue gun 140. The auxiliary glue applicator 200 includes a connecting plate 210, on which the glue gun 140 is mounted. An upper movable plate 220 and a lower movable plate 230 are slidably connected to the side of the connecting plate 210, and the upper movable plate 220 and the lower movable plate 230 are symmetrical about the glue gun 140. A wheel frame 240 is fixedly connected to both the side of the upper movable plate 220 near the lower movable plate 230 and the side of the lower movable plate 230 near the upper movable plate 220. A rubber roller 250 is rotatably connected to the wheel frame 240, and the axis of the rubber roller 250 is perpendicular to the feed direction of the glue gun 140. A drive mechanism 300 is also installed on the connecting plate 210. The drive mechanism 300 is used to control the upper movable plate 220 and the lower movable plate 230 to move closer to or further away from each other. A switch for controlling the operation of the drive mechanism 300 is provided at the grip of the glue gun 140. Furthermore, the connecting plate 210 is U-shaped, and the drive mechanism 300 includes a cylinder 310 installed between the upper movable plate 220 and the connecting plate 210; tension springs 320, and multiple tension springs 320 are fixedly connected between the lower movable plate 230 and the connecting plate 210; a drive rack 330 is fixedly connected to the side of the upper movable plate 220 near the connecting plate 210, and a driven rack 340 is fixedly connected to the side of the lower movable plate 230 near the connecting plate 210; an adjusting gear 350 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 210, and the adjusting gear 350 is located between the drive rack 330 and the driven rack 340, and both the drive rack 330 and the driven rack 340 are meshed with the adjusting gear 350.

[0044] The following is a further explanation based on a specific application scenario: When applying sealant to the insulating glass unit 700, first place the insulating glass unit 700 on the support turntable 130 and use the suction cups of the support turntable 130 to adhere and fix the insulating glass unit 700; then hold the glue gun 140, position the rubber rollers 250 of the upper movable plate 220 and the lower movable plate 230 on the upper and lower sides of the insulating glass unit 700, then place the end of the glue gun 140 against the side of the insulating glass unit 700, and control the upper movable plate 220 to move closer to the upper surface of the insulating glass unit 700 through the cylinder 310. At this time, with the cooperation of the drive rack 330, the adjusting gear 350, and the driven rack 340, the lower movable plate 230 will be driven to rise and move closer to the upper surface of the insulating glass unit 700. The lower surface of the insulating glass 700 is brought into contact with the upper surface of the insulating glass 700 by the rubber roller 250 on the upper movable plate 220, and the lower surface of the insulating glass 700 by the rubber roller 250 on the lower movable plate 230. The extension of the cylinder 310 is immediately stopped, and then the glue gun 140 can be turned on to inject glue between the glass layers of the insulating glass 700. When the worker moves the glue gun 140, the rubber rollers 250 on the upper and lower sides of the insulating glass 700 can also assist the worker in holding the glue gun 140 for feeding, and ensure that the glue gun 140 does not shake in the vertical direction. This can ensure that the worker is less likely to jump the gun during glue injection, thereby ensuring the quality of glue application.

[0045] When the glue application on one side is finished and the glued surface needs to be replaced, the cylinder 310 is depressurized, and under the action of the tension spring 320, the upper movable plate 220 and the lower movable plate 230 can be quickly moved away from each other, which improves the replacement efficiency. Moreover, under the action of the tension spring 320, the positional stability of the lower movable plate 230 and the upper movable plate 220 can also be guaranteed.

[0046] This application uses a drive mechanism 300 to control the upper movable plate 220 and the lower movable plate 230 to move closer together, and utilizes the rubber rollers 250 of the upper and lower movable plates 220 and 230 to clamp them onto the central control glass. This provides some auxiliary support for the glue gun 140 and ensures a straighter glue application path, preventing skipping and improving glue application quality. Overall, it ensures that the glue gun 140 does not wobble during glue application, improving the glue application quality of the insulating glass 700 and enhancing the convenience and labor-saving of the worker.

[0047] To ensure the accuracy of the movement of the upper movable plate 220 and the lower movable plate 230, this embodiment of the application has a ranging component installed on the upper movable plate 220 and / or the lower movable plate 230 for measuring the distance between the upper movable plate 220 and / or the lower movable plate 230 and the glass, and the ranging component is an ultrasonic ranging device.

[0048] Based on specific application scenarios, an ultrasonic ranging device is used to measure the distance between the upper movable plate 220, the lower movable plate 230 and the insulating glass 700, thereby measuring the distance between the rubber roller 250 and the insulating glass 700. This allows the cylinder 310 to stop operating in time when the rubber roller 250 comes into contact with the insulating glass 700, ensuring the height stability of the rubber roller 250. The use of an ultrasonic ranging device can improve the convenience and accuracy of adjusting the position of the rubber roller 250.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As a specific implementation of this application, an auxiliary roller 400 is installed on one side of the connecting plate 210. The auxiliary roller 400 abuts against the side of the insulating glass 700. It should be noted that the auxiliary roller 400 is located in front of the glue gun 140 along the glue application direction.

[0050] Depending on the specific application scenario, when applying glue, the auxiliary roller 400 abuts against the insulating glass 700. This can constrain the depth of the glue gun 140 and allow the auxiliary roller 400 to determine whether the glue gun 140 is in place. In addition, the auxiliary roller 400 can also assist in the movement direction of the glue gun 140, making it easier for workers to control the glue gun 140.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As a specific embodiment of this application, the glue gun 140 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 210, and a locking mechanism 500 for locking the rotational movement of the glue gun 140 and the connecting plate 210 is installed at the rotatable connection between the glue gun 140 and the connecting plate 210. Specifically, the locking mechanism 500 includes a mounting ring 510 fixed to the side of the connecting plate 210 away from the upper movable plate 220; a mounting plate 520 is also fixed to the side of the connecting plate 210 away from the upper movable plate 220; a T-shaped locking pin 530 is slidably connected to the mounting ring 510; a compression spring 540 is installed between the locking pin 530 and the mounting plate 520; a locking ring post 550 is coaxially arranged inside the mounting ring 510 and coaxially fixed to the glue gun 140; and multiple locking grooves 560 are opened on the periphery of the locking ring post 550. When applying glue, the angle between the glue gun 140 and the connecting plate 210 is adjusted, and the locking pin 530 is abutted into one of the locking grooves 560.

[0052] Depending on the specific usage scenario, when a worker feels uncomfortable holding the glue gun 140 horizontally or vertically for an extended period, they can unlock the glue gun 140 from the connecting plate 210 by pulling the locking pin 530. Then, the glue gun 140 can be rotated relative to the connecting plate 210 to adjust the angle at which it is held during glue application. After releasing the locking pin 530, the spring force of the compression spring 540 causes the locking pin 530 to engage in the locking groove 560, thus locking the glue gun 140 and connecting plate 210 again. This allows the worker to change the angle at which they hold the glue gun 140, increasing the convenience and comfort of the glue application process.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 As a specific embodiment of this application, multiple rubber rollers 250 are installed on the upper movable plate 220 and the lower movable plate 230, and the rubber rollers 250 are distributed in multiple rows and columns. In this way, by increasing the number of rubber rollers 250 and the uniform arrangement of the rubber rollers 250, the support strength of the glue gun 140 is improved, ensuring the connection stability between the glue gun 140 and the glass during the glue application process, thereby improving the stability of the glue application process.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 As a specific embodiment of this application, a scraper 600 is installed on the side of the connecting plate 210 away from the auxiliary roller 400. When applying glue, the scraper 600 abuts against the glass.

[0055] Depending on the specific application scenario, after the glue gun 140 applies glue between the 700 layers of the insulated glass, the scraper 600 is used to smooth the glue, making the bond between the glue and the glass layers more uniform. This ensures that the sides of the glass layers are cleaner, improves the bonding effect between the glass layers and the glue, and enhances the overall aesthetics.
