Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide an automated glue application device for insulated tempered glass with better glue application effect.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides an automated sealing device for insulating tempered glass: It includes a frame, the bottom of which is a support plate, and a positioning groove is formed on the upper surface of the support plate. A sandwich frame is engaged within the positioning groove, which is adapted to provide positioning and constraint for the sandwich frame, maintaining its vertical position. A lifting assembly is provided at the top of the frame, the lifting assembly including a cylinder fixedly connected to the frame, a mounting beam fixedly connected to the movable end of the cylinder, and clamping components at both ends of the mounting beam. The clamping assembly includes a bidirectional telescopic rod fixedly connected to the configuration beam. Both movable ends of the bidirectional telescopic rod are fixedly connected to clamping plates. Each clamping plate is fixedly connected to an adhesive-coated frame via two connecting columns. Two clamping plates located on the same side of the configuration beam are connected to one adhesive-coated frame. There are a total of two adhesive-coated frames, which are suitable for clamping the interlayer frame in the middle. The configuration beam and the adhesive-coated frame are connected to an adhesive supply assembly. The adhesive supply assembly is suitable for applying adhesive to both ends of the interlayer frame through the adhesive-coated frame for bonding with tempered glass.

[0005] As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive-coated frame and the interlayer frame have the same shape, which is a regular square frame. Each side of the adhesive-coated frame is hollow, and the interiors of the four side frames are interconnected. A flow guide groove is provided on the opposite sides of the two adhesive-coated frames. The adhesive-coated frame has an overflow hole in the flow guide groove that communicates with the interior. The flowing adhesive can enter the flow guide groove through the overflow hole or flow back from the flow guide groove into the hollow cavity of the adhesive-coated frame.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment, there are several overflow holes, which are equidistantly arranged along the extension direction of the guide groove to ensure that the colloid can be quickly and evenly filled into the guide groove.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive supply assembly includes an electrically controlled valve fixedly connected to the upper surface of the configuration beam. The electrically controlled valve has two output terminals, each of which is connected to the adhesive-coating frame via a flow guide hose, thereby enabling controllable supply of adhesive raw materials.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the top and side edges of the adhesive-coated frame have pipe connections on the side facing away from the flow channel, which are suitable for connecting the flow guide hose to the interior of the adhesive-coated frame to form a channel for colloid delivery.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the electronically controlled valve has only one input terminal, which is connected to the colloid storage tank via an external pipeline. A metering pump is also connected to the external pipeline to improve the controllability of the colloid supply.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, both ends of the support plate are fixedly connected to pillars, and the upper ends of the two pillars are fixedly connected to the cylinder barrel of the cylinder through a crossbeam to ensure the installation stability of the lifting assembly.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment, there is a pair of cylinders, and the movable ends of the two cylinders are fixedly connected to the configuration beam and are respectively close to the left and right ends of the configuration beam, which can well maintain the horizontality of the configuration beam.

[0024] The present application will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification and claims of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0027] The terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or device.

[0028] like Figure 1-8 The automated glue-applying device for insulated tempered glass shown includes a rectangular frame 1. The bottom of the frame 1 is a horizontal support plate 101, which is used to position and support the tempered glass. The upper surface of the support plate 101 is provided with a positioning slot 102. The positioning slot 102 has only two opposite side walls, which are located near the left and right ends of the support plate 101 respectively. A sandwich frame 6 is engaged in the positioning slot 102 and located between two pieces of tempered glass. The inner wall of the sandwich frame 6 and the opposite sides of the two pieces of tempered glass form a hollow space. The positioning slot 102 is used to position and constrain the sandwich frame 6 and keep the sandwich frame 6 in a vertical state.

[0029] The top of the frame 1 is equipped with a lifting assembly 2. The lifting assembly 2 actually includes a pair of cylinders 201 fixedly connected to the frame 1. Both ends of the support plate 101 are fixedly connected to vertically upward extending support columns 103. The upper ends of the two support columns 103 are fixedly connected to the cylinder barrel of the cylinder 201 through a horizontal crossbeam 104. The movable end of the cylinder 201 is fixedly connected to a horizontally aligned configuration beam 202. The movable ends of the two cylinders 201 are fixedly connected to the configuration beam 202. The two cylinders 201 can perform synchronous extension and retraction movements. The movable ends of the two cylinders 201 are close to the left and right ends of the configuration beam 202, which can better maintain the stability of the configuration beam 202.

[0030] Both ends of the configuration beam 202 are equipped with clamping components 3 for clamping and releasing the adhesive during application. The clamping components 3 include a bidirectional telescopic rod 301 fixedly connected to the configuration beam 202. Since the clamping components 3 do not require high control precision to achieve clamping and releasing, the bidirectional telescopic rod 301 is usually pneumatically controlled. Both movable ends of the bidirectional telescopic rod 301 are fixedly connected to vertical clamping plates 302. Each clamping plate 302 is fixedly connected to an adhesive-coated frame 4 via two connecting posts 303. The connecting posts 303 are located at the upper and lower corners of the adhesive-coated frame 4. It should be noted that two clamping plates 302 on the same side of the configuration beam 202 are connected to one adhesive-coated frame 4. Since there are two sets of clamping plates 302, a total of four, there are a total of two adhesive-coated frames 4, which are used to clamp the interlayer frame 6 in the middle to maintain the vertical stability of the interlayer frame 6 during the adhesive application process.

[0031] The laminated frame 4 and the interlayer frame 6 have the same shape, both being regular square frames, which conforms to the shape of most insulated glass. Each side of the laminated frame 4 is hollow, and the interiors of the four side frames are interconnected, forming a channel for continuous flow of the adhesive. There are also guide grooves 401 on the opposite sides of the two laminated frames 4, which can also constrain the adhesive into a rectangle. Since the depth of the guide groove 401 in the horizontal direction is not large, the thickness of the adhesive filling the guide groove 401 is not large. The adhesive can fully adhere to the end face of the interlayer frame 6. After the adhesive flows back, the thickness of the adhesive will not decrease significantly, and it is not easy to form strings. The laminated frame 4 has an overflow hole 402 that communicates with the interior in the guide groove 401. The adhesive flows from the interior of the laminated frame 4 into the guide groove 401. There are several overflow holes 402, which are equidistantly arranged along the extension direction of the guide groove 401, so as to fill the interior of the guide groove 401 more efficiently and quickly.

[0032] The configuration beam 202 and the adhesive-coating frame 4 are connected together by an adhesive supply assembly 5, which is used to intermittently supply the raw materials required for adhesive application. The specific structure of the adhesive supply assembly 5 includes an electrically controlled valve 501 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the configuration beam 202. The inner wall structure of the electrically controlled valve 501 is relatively simple, which facilitates the emptying and cleaning of the adhesive. Moreover, the inside of the electrically controlled valve 501 is sealed, so the adhesive does not come into contact with air and can remain in a flowing state for a long time without curing, and it is not easy to clog the valve body structure. The electrically controlled valve 501 has an input end, which is connected to the adhesive storage tank through an external pipeline. A metering pump is also connected to the external pipeline to draw adhesive quantitatively from the adhesive storage tank. The adhesive is injected into the solenoid valve 501, which also has two output ends. Each output end of the solenoid valve 501 is connected to the adhesive frame 4 through a flow guide hose 502. The flow guide hose 502 is made of silicone rubber material, which can bend to a certain extent and has good rigidity. In fact, the top frame and the side frames of the adhesive frame 4 have pipe joints 503 on the side opposite to the flow guide groove 401, which are used to connect the flow guide hose 502 to the inside of the adhesive frame 4. The adhesive supply component 5 will apply the adhesive to the two ends of the sandwich frame 6 through the adhesive frame 4, thereby forming a rectangular continuous adhesive area on the two ends of the sandwich frame 6.

[0033] Working Principle: This glue application device needs to operate in a dust-free workshop. Initially, cylinder 201 retracts, causing the two mutually distant glue-applying frames 4 to reach their upper limit. Then, the robotic arm slides the interlayer frame 6 vertically into the positioning slot 102. After the robotic arm leaves, the interlayer frame 6, with a certain thickness, remains vertical under the constraint of the positioning slot 102, and the two ends of the interlayer frame 6 are unobstructed in the horizontal direction. Subsequently, the two glue-applying frames 4 are lowered in height under the action of cylinder 201 until they bend and align with the interlayer frame 6. At this point, the two glue-applying frames 4 are located in the front-back direction of the interlayer frame 6, and the bottom surfaces of the two glue-applying frames 4 are in contact with the inner bottom surface of the positioning slot 102. The bidirectional telescopic rod 301 retracts, bringing the two glue-applying frames 4 closer together until they clamp the interlayer frame 6 and maintain its vertical stability. The electric control valve 501 opens, and the metering pump pressurizes the fluid adhesive, which enters the closed guide channel 401 through the overflow hole 402 until the guide channel is filled. The metering pump reverses its operation and extracts a portion of the colloid from the guide channel 401 through the overflow hole 402. After extraction, a thin layer of colloid remains on both ends of the interlayer frame 6. Driven by the bidirectional telescopic rod 301, the two coated frames 4 move synchronously away from the interlayer frame 6 until the colloid adhering between the interlayer frame 6 and the coated frames 4 is completely separated. Then, driven by the cylinder 201, the two coated frames 4 return to their upper limit position. Finally, the robotic arm with a suction cup removes the two pieces of tempered glass from... The front and rear sides of the interlayer frame 6 slide into the positioning slots 102 and are pressed against the front and rear end faces of the interlayer frame 6. The thin adhesive layer spreads further under pressure, fully covering the end face of the interlayer frame 6 and the contact surface of the tempered glass, thus completing the adhesion. After the adhesive is applied, the robotic arm can remove the hollow tempered glass from the positioning slots 102 and place it in the next work station. Then, the new interlayer frame 6 is placed vertically into the positioning slots 102 of the tray 101 to start the next round of adhesive application.
