Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of spacer bar hole plugging technology, specifically relating to a spacer bar hole plugging device. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, during the production of insulated glass, an aluminum spacer frame is typically used to separate the two panes of glass. Simultaneously, to improve the thermal insulation and sound insulation properties of the insulated glass, air inlets are drilled into the aluminum spacer, and inert gas is injected between the two panes of glass. After the inert gas injection is completed, the air inlets need to be sealed.
[0003] The prior art (authorization announcement number: CN210457972U) discloses a special rapid hole-plugging machine for argon-filled insulating glass, including a handheld hole-plugging gun and an electrical control box. The handheld hole-plugging gun includes a shell, a glue-applying cylinder, a glue tube, a hollow metal heating plate, a heating tube, a thermocouple, and a hole-plugging nozzle. The glue-applying cylinder is installed inside the shell on the right end by screws, and the hollow metal heating plate is welded to the left end of the shell. The glue tube is clamped and fixed to the glue-applying cylinder by the hollow metal heating plate. The pushing end of the glue-applying cylinder is fixedly connected to the piston inside the glue tube. The hole-plugging machine is more effective at plugging air-filled holes because it has a temperature control system, which allows the butyl rubber to be used within a temperature range with good performance, resulting in better sealing quality. The hole-plugging machine plugs a hole in about 1 to 2 seconds, which is much faster than manual hole plugging. When using the hole-plugging machine, the pressure from the cylinder pushes the butyl rubber to the bottom and top of the hole, which is another factor contributing to better hole sealing.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The following are specific implementation cases and appendices. Figures 1 to 4 The present invention will be further described below, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0027] A spacer bar plugging device, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the spacer bar plugging device includes: a support frame 10, support rollers 11, a moving mechanism 12, a moving plate 13, an adjusting mechanism 14, an adjusting plate 15, a connecting frame 16, a receiving tank 17, a conveying box 18, a conveying channel 19, and a plugging cylinder 20; multiple support rollers 11 are rotatably connected to the front wall of the support frame 10; the moving mechanism 12 is mounted on the side wall of the support frame 10; the moving plate 13 is connected to the moving mechanism 12; the adjusting mechanism 14 is mounted on the moving plate 13; the adjusting plate 15 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 14; the connecting frame 16 is mounted on the end of the adjusting plate 15 near the support rollers 11; the ...4; the conveying box 17, a conveying channel 18, a conveying channel 19, and a plugging cylinder 20; the moving mechanism 12 is mounted on the side wall of the support frame 10; Tank 17 is a hollow cavity with an opening at the top, containing multiple balls. Tank 17 is mounted on connecting frame 16. Conveying box 18 is mounted inside connecting frame 16, located below conveying tank 17. Conveying channel 19 is a hollow cavity with openings at both ends, located inside conveying box 18, and its middle part is connected to the bottom of conveying tank 17. Plugging cylinder 20 is equipped with a push rod, mounted inside connecting frame 16, located on one side of conveying box 18, and its push rod is opposite to conveying channel 19.
[0028] By rotatably connecting multiple support rollers 11 to the front wall of the support frame 10, the support frame 10 can support the multiple support rollers 11, thereby allowing the spacer strip to be blocked to be placed on the support rollers 11, and thus enabling the multiple support rollers 11 to cooperate in supporting the spacer strip; by installing the moving mechanism 12 on the side wall of the support frame 10 and connecting the moving plate 13 to the moving mechanism 12, the moving mechanism 12 can drive the moving plate 13, thereby adjusting the position of the moving plate 13; by installing the adjusting mechanism 14 on the moving plate 13 and connecting the adjusting plate 15 to the adjusting mechanism 14, the adjusting mechanism 14 can drive the adjusting plate 15 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the adjusting plate 15. By mounting the connecting frame 16 on the adjusting plate 15, mounting the receiving tank 17 on the connecting frame 16, and storing multiple ball bearings inside the receiving tank 17, the adjusting plate 15 supports the connecting frame 16, thereby enabling the connecting frame 16 to support the receiving tank 17 and improving the stability of the receiving tank 17. Furthermore, by installing the conveying box 18 inside the connecting frame 16, setting the conveying channel 19 inside the conveying box 18, and connecting the middle of the conveying channel 19 to the bottom of the receiving tank 17, the connecting frame... 16 supports the conveying box 18, thereby allowing the balls in the receiving tank 17 to flow into the conveying channel 19; by installing the plugging cylinder 20 in the connecting frame 16, the plugging cylinder 20 is located on one side of the conveying box 18, and the push rod of the plugging cylinder 20 is opposite to the conveying channel 19, so that the connecting frame 16 supports the plugging cylinder 20, thereby enabling the plugging cylinder 20 to drive the push rod to move, and then the push rod enters the conveying channel 19, so that the push rod pushes out the balls in the conveying channel 19.
[0029] In actual use of the product, firstly, multiple balls are poured into the receiving tank 17. At this time, one ball will flow into the conveying channel 19 due to gravity. Then, the spacer strip with plugging hole is placed on multiple support rollers 11. Next, the moving mechanism 12 is activated, which drives the moving plate 13 to move, thereby moving the moving plate 13 to the position of the spacer strip to be plugged. Then, the adjusting mechanism 14 is activated, which drives the adjusting plate 15 to move, thereby moving the adjusting plate 15 through the connecting frame 16 to the conveying box 18 and the conveying channel 19, so that the conveying channel 19 is aligned with the position of the hole to be plugged. Then, the plugging cylinder 20 is activated, which drives the push rod to move, thereby moving the push rod into the conveying channel 19 and pushing out the ball, thereby embedding the ball into the spacer strip to plug the hole.

By installing the adjusting mechanism 14 on the moving plate 13 and connecting the adjusting plate 15 to the adjusting mechanism 14, the moving plate 13 and the adjusting mechanism 14 can move synchronously, thereby enabling the adjusting mechanism 14 to drive the adjusting plate 15 to move, ensuring that the material conveying channel 19 is opposite to the air inlet, thus facilitating the subsequent plugging cylinder 20 to push the ball into the air inlet to seal the air inlet. At the same time, there is no need to hold the product, thus improving the user experience.
