Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insulating glass processing technology, and in particular to a spacer frame upper frame device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are two methods for mounting the spacer strips on insulated glass: manual and automatic. Manual mounting involves an operator placing the spacer strip frame onto a coating machine and applying butyl adhesive to both sides. After the glass passes through a sheeting machine, cleaning machine, and light inspection, it is positioned at the mounting station. The operator then manually places the spacer strip frame onto the glass and presses it firmly to prevent it from falling off. Automatic mounting involves the spacer strip frame being formed by a frame-making and assembly mechanism. A frame positioning mechanism then positions the frame ideally, and the frame is removed by mechanical grippers. After the glass passes through a sheeting machine and cleaning machine, butyl adhesive matching the frame size is applied at the adhesive application station. The glued glass is then positioned at the mounting panel station, and finally, the mechanical grippers place the spacer strip frame onto the glass, ensuring complete overlap with the butyl adhesive on the glass, with an accuracy of approximately ±0.5mm. Due to errors in spacer frame dimensions and adhesive application width, it is more difficult to guarantee the overlap accuracy between the spacer strip frame and the butyl adhesive on the glass within ±0.5mm. If defective spacer frames are found, there will be no real-time alarm notification, causing the spacer frames to be placed on the glass after the sealant has been applied, preventing the process from proceeding to the next station. This necessitates manual cleaning of the spacer frames and butyl sealant, as well as re-washing the glass, resulting in a lot of repetitive work. Utility Model Content

[0034] The technical solution of this utility model has the following significant beneficial effects:
[0035] After the adhesive is applied to the glass according to the shape of the spacer frame, before the spacer frame and the adhesive on the glass adhere, the overlap or matching degree between the adhesive on the glass and the spacer frame can be detected using the upper frame device of the spacer frame. This ensures that after the spacer frame and the adhesive on the glass adhere, they are basically completely overlapped and no rework is required. The crossbeam moves to a suitable position on the first track according to the vertical height of the glass, so that the position of the first image acquisition unit corresponds to the position of the intersection of the first horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass. The glass with the adhesive applied is fed into the support mechanism through the transport mechanism, and the support mechanism supports the side of the glass without adhesive. By moving the first moving component in the second track, the second image acquisition unit can be moved to a suitable position in the horizontal direction to accommodate glass of different lengths in the horizontal direction, so that the position of the second image acquisition unit corresponds to the position of the first horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass. By moving the second moving component within the third track, the third image acquisition unit 5 can be moved horizontally to a suitable position to accommodate glass of varying lengths in the horizontal direction. This ensures that the position of the third image acquisition unit 5 corresponds to the intersection of the second horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass. The automatic frame-mounting device moves the spacer frame to approximately 5mm from the glass. Following this process, the first and second image acquisition units respectively acquire images of the intersection of the first horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass, the intersection of the upper horizontal frame and the second vertical frame of the spacer frame, and the intersection of the upper horizontal frame and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame. The third and fourth image acquisition units respectively acquire images of the lower horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass. Images are generated at the intersections of the two horizontal adhesives and the first vertical adhesive, the intersection of the lower horizontal border of the spacer frame and the first vertical border, and the intersections of the lower horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass, as well as the intersections of the lower horizontal border of the spacer frame and the second vertical border. These images are then used to analyze the overlap difference between the first horizontal adhesive and the upper horizontal border, the first vertical adhesive and the first vertical border, the second horizontal adhesive and the lower horizontal border, and the second vertical adhesive and the second vertical border, and this information is fed back to the automatic frame-feeding device. If the overlap meets the requirements, the automatic frame-feeding device continues to move the spacer frame towards the glass until the spacer frame adheres to the adhesive on the glass. If the overlap does not meet the requirements, the frame-feeding action is not performed. The above process can improve the accuracy of the spacer frame during installation, ensuring the quality of insulated glass products; it can also save labor costs, as the entire overlap detection can be automated, reducing manual intervention, increasing production efficiency, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and reducing labor risks.

[0044] The details of this utility model can be more clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawings and the description of specific embodiments. However, the specific embodiments of this utility model described herein are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the utility model in any way. Under the teachings of this utility model, those skilled in the art can conceive of any possible modifications based on this utility model, and these should all be considered to fall within the scope of this utility model.
[0045] To address the issue of rework caused by incomplete overlap between the spacer frame and the butyl sealant on the glass, this application proposes a spacer frame upper frame device. Figure 1 This is a front view of the upper frame device of the spacer strip in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the upper frame device of the spacer bar may include: a support mechanism 1 for supporting the glass; a transport mechanism 2 disposed at the lower end of the support mechanism 1 for inputting and outputting the glass to and from the support mechanism 1; a crossbeam mechanism 3, including a first track 31 extending vertically; a crossbeam 32 mounted on the first track 31 and movable along the first track 31, the crossbeam 32 cooperating with the support mechanism 1 to support the glass; a first image acquisition unit 33 mounted on the crossbeam 32; and a first horizontal moving mechanism 4 mounted on the crossbeam 32, including a second track 41 extending horizontally; and mounting... A first moving component 42 that can move along the second track 41; a second image acquisition unit 43 mounted on the first moving component 42; a second horizontal moving mechanism including a third track extending in the horizontal direction; a second moving component mounted on the third track that can move along the third track; a third image acquisition unit 5 mounted on the second moving component; and a fourth image acquisition unit 6, which is used to acquire images of the intersection of the second horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass below, and the intersection of the horizontal frame and the second vertical frame of the spacer frame below.
[0046] After the adhesive is applied to the glass according to the shape of the spacer frame, before the spacer frame and the adhesive on the glass adhere, the overlap or matching degree between the adhesive on the glass and the spacer frame can be detected using the upper frame device of the spacer frame. This ensures that after the spacer frame and the adhesive on the glass adhere, they are basically completely overlapped and no rework is required. The crossbeam 32 moves to a suitable position on the first track 31 according to the vertical height of the glass, so that the position of the first image acquisition unit 33 corresponds to the position of the intersection of the first horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass. The glass with the adhesive applied is input into the support mechanism 1 through the transport mechanism 2, and the support mechanism 1 supports the side of the glass without adhesive. By moving the first moving component 42 in the second track 41, the second image acquisition unit 43 can be moved to a suitable position in the horizontal direction to accommodate glass of different lengths in the horizontal direction, so that the position of the second image acquisition unit 43 corresponds to the position of the intersection of the first horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass. By moving the second moving component in the third track, the third image acquisition unit 5 can be moved to a suitable position in the horizontal direction to adapt to glass of different lengths in the horizontal direction, so that the position of the third image acquisition unit 5 corresponds to the position of the intersection of the second horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass.
[0047] The automatic frame-mounting device moves the spacer frame to a position approximately 5mm away from the glass. Following this process, the first image acquisition unit 33 and the second image acquisition unit 43 respectively acquire images of the intersection of the first horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass, the intersection of the upper horizontal frame and the second vertical frame of the spacer frame, and the intersection of the upper horizontal frame and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame. The third image acquisition unit 5 and the fourth image acquisition unit 6 respectively acquire images of the lower... Images are generated at the intersections of the second horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive, the intersection of the lower horizontal border of the spacer frame and the first vertical border, and the intersections of the lower horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass, as well as the intersections of the lower horizontal border of the spacer frame and the second vertical border. These images are used to analyze the overlap differences between the first horizontal adhesive and the upper horizontal border, the first vertical adhesive and the first vertical border, the second horizontal adhesive and the lower horizontal border, and the second vertical adhesive and the second vertical border, and this information is fed back to the automatic framing device. If the overlap meets the requirements, the automatic framing device continues to move the spacer frame towards the glass until the spacer frame adheres to the adhesive on the glass. If the overlap does not meet the requirements, the glass is deemed unqualified, the framing action is not performed, an alarm is triggered, the spacer frame is rejected, and the glass flows to the buffer station. Once the entire batch is completed, the framing action is repeated until the overlap between the spacer frame and the adhesive on this piece of glass meets the requirements. If the alignment of the spacer frame and the adhesive on the glass fails to meet requirements several times, the glass can be cleaned and the adhesive reapplied. Alternatively, the dimensions of the spacer frame can be checked; if there are dimensional issues, the spacer frame should be discarded. This process improves the accuracy of the spacer frame installation, ensuring the quality of the insulated glass product. It also saves labor costs, automating the alignment inspection process, reducing manual intervention, increasing production efficiency, lowering worker workload, and reducing labor risks.
[0048] like Figure 1As shown, the support mechanism 1 includes: a panel 11, on which multiple first rotating wheels 12 for supporting glass are provided, a suction cup assembly 13 for holding the glass, and a blocking assembly 14 that can extend and retract from the panel 11. The support mechanism 1 is provided with a blocking assembly 14 for blocking and positioning the glass moved by the transport mechanism 2. The panel 11 is inclined in the vertical direction to support the sides of the glass. The rolling direction of the first rotating wheels 12 is the same as the moving direction of the glass on the panel 11, i.e., the horizontal direction, which can reduce the resistance when the glass moves on the panel 11. The suction cup assembly 13 can extend and retract. When it is necessary to fix the glass on the panel 11, the suction cup assembly 13 extends and holds the glass, thereby fixing the glass. When the transport mechanism 2 inputs the glass onto the support mechanism 1, the blocking assembly 14 can extend, thereby blocking the glass at a predetermined position, so that the glass stops precisely at the predetermined position in the horizontal direction (along the X-axis direction of the extension direction of the panel 11). For example, transport mechanism 2 can feed glass onto support mechanism 1 from left to right, and the blocking component 14 on the right side can extend. When transport mechanism 2 can move the glass away from support mechanism 1 from left to right, the blocking component 14 can be retracted in advance.
[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the transport mechanism 2 may include a plurality of actively rotatable rollers 21 arranged sequentially in a horizontal direction. The rollers 21 are used to support the lower end surface of the glass. The rollers 21 are installed at the lower end of the panel 11. The transport mechanism 2 may also include a roller 21 drive unit to drive the rollers 21 to rotate, so as to actively control the rotation of the rollers 21, thereby enabling the rollers 21 to move the glass.
[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, panel 11 has a notch 111. The position of the crossbeam mechanism 3 corresponds to the notch 111. Multiple second rollers 321 for supporting the glass are arranged horizontally on the crossbeam 32. First rollers 12 are located on the left, right, and lower ends of panel 11. The lower first roller 12, in conjunction with the second rollers 321 that can move vertically, can support glass of different sizes.
[0051] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the beam mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the first track 31 extends vertically and can be a single track or two parallel tracks. A crossbeam 32 is mounted on the first track 31 and can move along it. The crossbeam mechanism 3 may include a crossbeam 32 drive unit for driving the crossbeam 32 to move along the first track 31. The crossbeam 32 drive unit may include a crossbeam 32 motor. A first image acquisition unit 33 is mounted on the crossbeam 32. Since the crossbeam 32 can move vertically, the first image acquisition unit 33 is used to acquire images of the intersection of the first horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass, and the intersection of the upper horizontal frame and the second vertical frame of the spacer frame, thereby determining the degree of overlap between the first horizontal adhesive and the upper horizontal frame of the spacer frame, and the degree of overlap between the second vertical adhesive and the second vertical frame.
[0052] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the horizontal moving mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, a first horizontal moving mechanism 4 is mounted on a crossbeam 32. The first horizontal moving mechanism 4 includes a second track 41 extending horizontally; a first moving component 42 mounted on the second track 41 and capable of moving along the second track 41; and a second image acquisition unit 43 mounted on the first moving component 42. Due to different glass specifications, after the bottom edge and one side edge of the glass are positioned, the positions of the top edge and the other side edge of the glass vary depending on the glass specifications. Therefore, the position of the second image acquisition unit 43 on the horizontal X-axis can be adjusted by the first moving component 42, allowing the second image acquisition unit 43 to acquire images of the intersection of the first horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass, and the intersection of the upper horizontal frame and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame. This allows for the determination of the overlap between the first vertical adhesive on the glass and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame, and the overlap between the upper horizontal adhesive on the glass and the upper horizontal frame of the spacer frame. The side edge of the glass corresponding to this first vertical adhesive is a non-positioned side edge. Correspondingly, the first horizontal moving mechanism 4 includes a moving component driving unit 45, which drives the first moving component 42 to move on the second track 41.
[0053] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first horizontal moving mechanism 4 includes an illumination unit 44 mounted on the second track 41, located on the side of the second image acquisition unit 43 facing away from the glass. The illumination unit 44 can extend along the horizontal X-axis, ensuring that the light intensity within the acquisition range of the image acquisition unit remains stable, preventing deviations in image recognition when natural light changes.
[0054] Because glass specifications vary, after the bottom edge and one side edge of the glass are positioned, the position of the other side edge varies depending on the glass specifications. Therefore, the upper frame device of the spacer frame includes: a second horizontal moving mechanism, including a third track extending horizontally; a second moving component mounted on the third track that can move along the third track; and a third image acquisition unit mounted on the second moving component. The position of the third image acquisition unit 5 on the horizontal X-axis can be adjusted by the second moving component. The third image acquisition unit is used to acquire images of the intersection of the second horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass, the intersection of the lower horizontal frame and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame, and the lower horizontal adhesive and the lower horizontal frame of the spacer frame, thereby determining the degree of overlap between the first vertical adhesive and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame, and the degree of overlap between the upper horizontal adhesive and the lower horizontal frame of the spacer frame.
[0055] In this embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, since the blocking component 14 is located on the right side of the panel 11, the bottom and right sides of the glass of different specifications are positioned, and the corresponding positions of the second horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive located below are roughly determined. Therefore, the spacer frame upper frame device may include: a fourth image acquisition unit 6, which is used to acquire images of the intersection of the second horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass, and the intersection of the horizontal border and the second vertical border of the spacer frame. The fourth image acquisition unit 6 can be mounted on the support mechanism 1, or on the second horizontal moving mechanism, such as the third track, or on other fixed mechanisms. There may be a gap between the bottom of panel 11 and transport mechanism 2. The third image acquisition unit 5 and the fourth image acquisition unit 6 may be located at this gap, so that images of the intersection of the second horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the glass, the intersection of the horizontal frame and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame, the intersection of the second horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the glass, and the intersection of the horizontal frame and the second vertical frame of the spacer frame can be acquired without obstruction through this gap.
[0056] Furthermore, Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the glass lifting mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 2As shown, the upper frame device of the spacer frame may include: a glass lifting mechanism 7, which can lift the glass supported on the transport mechanism 2 upward. After the glass lifting mechanism 7 lifts the glass upward, the third image acquisition unit 5 can acquire images of the intersection of the lower second horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the lifted glass, and the intersection of the lower horizontal frame and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame, to determine the degree of overlap between the first vertical adhesive on the glass and the first vertical frame of the spacer frame, and the degree of overlap between the upper second horizontal adhesive on the glass and the lower horizontal frame of the spacer frame.
[0057] like Figure 2 As shown, the glass lifting mechanism 7 may include: a lifting beam 71, on which multiple lifting blocks 711 are arranged sequentially in a horizontal direction. When the lifting blocks 711 move upwards, they can pass between adjacent rollers 21 to lift the glass on the rollers 21 and detach it from the rollers 21; and a drive mechanism 72, which can drive the lifting beam 71 to move upwards. Further, the glass lifting mechanism 7 may include: a rotating mechanism 73, which can drive the lifting beam 71 to rotate around the X-axis, thereby allowing the lifting beam 71 and the lifting blocks 711 to move downwards a greater distance, thus providing more space for other devices used to frame the spacer bars. The lifting blocks 711 may be made of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, with a smooth and wear-resistant surface, preventing inaccurate horizontal dimensions due to wear over long-term use. The drive mechanism 72 may be in the form of a power cylinder to ensure sufficient power.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first image acquisition unit 33 is connected to the crossbeam 32 via a first adjustment mechanism 34, which is adjustable in the X-axis and Z-axis directions and in the circumferential direction around the Z-axis. The second image acquisition unit 43 is connected to the first moving component 42 via a second adjustment mechanism, which is adjustable in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions and in the circumferential direction around the Z-axis. The third image acquisition unit 5 is connected to the support mechanism 1 via a third adjustment mechanism, which is adjustable in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions and in the circumferential direction around the Z-axis. The fourth image acquisition unit 6 is connected to the support mechanism 1 via a fourth adjustment mechanism, which is adjustable in the X-axis and Z-axis directions and in the circumferential direction around the Z-axis. These adjustment mechanisms allow for fine-tuning of each image acquisition unit in its corresponding direction, ensuring that the image acquisition unit is aligned with the corresponding frame of the spacer and the corresponding adhesive on the glass. Figure 1The horizontal direction is designated as the X-axis, the vertical direction as the Y-axis, and the direction perpendicular to panel 11 as the Z-axis. Furthermore, the first, second, third, and fourth adjustment mechanisms are all adjustable in the X, Y, and Z-axis directions, as well as in the circumferential direction around the Z-axis. These adjustment mechanisms allow for fine-tuning of the position of each image acquisition unit.
[0059] Among them, as a feasible option, Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the adjusting mechanism in an embodiment of the present invention, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the first adjustment mechanism 34, or the second adjustment mechanism, or the third adjustment mechanism, or the fourth adjustment mechanism includes: a first adjustment member 81, which has a fourth track extending along a first direction among the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis; a second adjustment member 82, which is movably mounted in the fourth track and has a fifth track extending along a second direction among the X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis; and a third adjustment member 83, which is movably mounted in the fifth track and is adjustable relative to the second adjustment member 82 in the circumferential direction around the Z-axis. The image acquisition unit is mounted on the third adjustment member 83. Further, the first image acquisition unit 33 is connected to the crossbeam 32 sequentially via the first adjustment mechanism 34 and the first moving assembly 42.
[0060] As a feasible option, the surfaces of the parts around the spacer frame and the adhesive on the glass within the area captured by the image acquisition unit can be colored, such as with a matte finish, to avoid image recognition errors caused by reflections from ambient light or external factors.
[0061] As a feasible option, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper frame device of the spacer frame may include a buffer component 9, which is used to keep the upper frame device of the spacer frame stable and completely stationary when the automatic upper frame device moves the spacer frame close to the glass, so that there will be no shaking and no recognition deviation in the image acquired by the image acquisition unit. For example, the upper and lower ends of the support mechanism 1 may be provided with buffer components 9.
[0062] The spacer frame mounting device in this application can utilize the first image acquisition unit 33, the second image acquisition unit 43, the third image acquisition unit 5, and the fourth image acquisition unit 6 to acquire images of the intersections of the first horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the upper part of the glass, the intersections of the horizontal and vertical borders of the upper part of the spacer frame, the intersections of the first horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the upper part of the glass, the intersections of the horizontal and vertical borders of the upper part of the spacer frame, the intersections of the second horizontal adhesive and the first vertical adhesive on the lower part of the glass, the intersections of the horizontal and vertical borders of the lower part of the spacer frame, and the intersections of the second horizontal adhesive and the second vertical adhesive on the lower part of the glass, and the intersections of the horizontal and vertical borders of the lower part of the spacer frame, thereby analyzing the overlap between the corresponding adhesives and borders. Through this method, the overlap between all the rectangular adhesive tracks coated on the glass and all the borders of the rectangular spacer frame can be achieved, thus ensuring the accuracy of the spacer frame mounting and guaranteeing the quality of the insulated glass product. Since the vertical position of the first image acquisition unit 33, the horizontal position of the second image acquisition unit 43, and the horizontal position of the third image acquisition unit can be adjusted, this spacer frame device can be used to detect the overlap between the adhesive on glass of different specifications and the corresponding spacer frame.
