Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of curtain wall adhesive application technology, and specifically relates to an adhesive application machine for curtain walls of high-rise buildings. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of urbanization, land use conflicts have become increasingly prominent. In order to ensure that more people can live and work in cities and towns, high-rise and super high-rise buildings have developed rapidly.
[0003] Glass curtain walls are extremely common in the design of high-rise and super high-rise buildings. They increase indoor lighting and improve the building's transparency, while also providing possibilities for various architectural shapes, enriching the building's aesthetics. However, if the curtain wall's sealing performance does not meet design requirements, it often negatively impacts the building's energy conservation, emission reduction, and functionality. Therefore, applying sealant to glass curtain walls is particularly important in addressing this issue.
[0004] Existing methods for applying sealant to curtain wall glass in high-rise buildings typically involve suspending a scaffold from the roof, with workers standing inside the scaffold to apply sealant to the gaps between adjacent glass curtain wall panels on the exterior facade. This method poses significant safety hazards, has low construction efficiency, and is difficult to implement. Therefore, we propose a sealant application machine for high-rise building curtain walls to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a glue applicator for high-rise building curtain walls, which solves the issues of difficulty and low efficiency associated with manual glue application.
[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following solution: a glue applicator for curtain walls of high-rise buildings, comprising:
[0007] Glue application components;
[0008] A drone is used to move a glue dispensing assembly to the glue dispensing area. The glue dispensing assembly includes a glue bucket, a connecting tube, and a glue gun. The glue bucket is fixed to the drone. The first end of the connecting tube is movably connected to the glue bucket, and the glue gun is connected to the second end of the connecting tube.
[0009] Support components, used to secure the curtain wall, to provide support for the drone to hover over the sealant-applied area; and
[0010] The first adjusting component is used to apply force to the connecting tube so that the first end of the connecting tube moves relative to the glue tank, thereby causing the second end of the connecting tube to move the glue gun, so as to change the glue dispensing position of the glue gun.
[0011] A further improvement of this utility model for a glue applicator for high-rise building curtain walls is that the support assembly includes multiple struts and multiple suction cups. The multiple struts are all fixed to the outside of the glue tank, and the multiple suction cups are respectively fixed to the ends of the multiple struts away from the glue tank, for adsorption onto the curtain wall to achieve fixation.
[0012] A further improvement of this utility model for a caulking machine for high-rise building curtain walls is that multiple support rods are arranged around a connecting pipe, and the first adjusting member includes multiple first telescopic rods, with one end of each first telescopic rod movably connected to multiple support rods and the other end movably connected to the connecting pipe. This is used to push and pull the connecting pipe so that the first end of the connecting pipe moves relative to the glue bucket, thereby causing the second end of the connecting pipe to drive the caulking gun to move along the extension direction of the gap between adjacent curtain wall panels, so as to realize that the caulking gun moves along the gap to apply caulking.
[0013] A further improvement of this utility model for a caulking machine for high-rise building curtain walls is that the connecting pipe includes a caulking tube and a branch pipe. One end of the branch pipe is movably connected to the caulking tank and the other end is connected to the caulking gun. One end of the caulking tube is connected to the caulking gun and the other end passes through the branch pipe and is connected to the caulking tank. The caulking tube is a flexible hose.
[0014] A further improvement of this utility model for a caulking machine for high-rise building curtain walls is that the caulking gun is U-shaped, and both ends of the caulking gun are provided with nozzles for spraying caulking glue. The curtain wall is square, and the distance between the two nozzles is adapted to the side length of the curtain wall panel.
[0015] A further improvement of this utility model for a caulking machine for high-rise building curtain walls is that the branch pipe and the caulking gun are connected by a splicing pipe, and one end of the splicing pipe is fixedly connected to the branch pipe and the other end is rotatably connected to the caulking gun. One end of the caulking tube passes through the splicing pipe and communicates with the caulking gun.
[0016] The glue applicator also includes a second adjusting component for driving the glue gun to deflect, thereby changing the glue application direction of the two gun heads.
[0017] A further improvement of this utility model for a glue applicator for high-rise building curtain walls is that the second adjusting component includes a motor and a bracket. The motor is fixed inside the splicing pipe by the bracket, and the driving end of the motor is fixedly connected to the glue gun, so that the rotation axis of the driving end of the motor is consistent with the rotation axis of the glue gun. The motor is a forward and reverse reversible motor.
[0018] A further improvement of this utility model for a glue applicator for high-rise building curtain walls is that the glue applicator also includes a control device, which is connected to the drone, glue gun, support assembly and first adjustment component.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0020] This invention allows workers to operate a control device to maneuver a drone that carries a glue-applying component to the construction area. The drone is then attached to the curtain wall using suction cups and supported by struts. A glue gun is then used to apply glue to the gaps between adjacent curtain walls. During the application process, multiple telescopic rods drive the connecting tube away from the glue container to move along the direction of the gap. The two nozzles allow for simultaneous application to two gaps in the same direction during each application. After applying glue to one gap, a motor drives the glue gun to deflect at a certain angle, changing the application direction of the two nozzles to facilitate application to gaps in other directions. This method offers high construction efficiency, low operational difficulty, and reduced worker safety hazards. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To address the problems of difficulty and low efficiency in manual sealant application, this invention provides a sealant application machine for high-rise building curtain walls. The following detailed description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings, further illustrates this sealant application machine for high-rise building curtain walls.
[0026] See Figures 1-3 As shown, a sealant applicator for high-rise building curtain walls includes:
[0027] Glue application components;
[0028] Drone 1 is used to move the glue dispensing assembly to the glue dispensing area. The glue dispensing assembly includes a glue bucket 3, a connecting pipe 4, and a glue gun 10. The glue bucket 3 is fixed on the drone 1. The first end of the connecting pipe 4 is movably connected to the glue bucket 3, and the glue gun 10 is connected to the second end of the connecting pipe 4.
[0029] Support components, used for fixing to the curtain wall to provide support for the drone 1 to hover over the sealant application area; and
[0030] The first adjusting component is used to apply force to the connecting tube 4 so that the first end of the connecting tube 4 moves relative to the glue tank 3, thereby causing the second end of the connecting tube 4 to move the glue gun 10, so as to change the glue dispensing position of the glue gun 10.
[0031] The drone 1 is used to fly and move the glue application component to the glue application area. Then, it is fixed to the curtain wall by the support component to stabilize the drone 1. Then, the glue gun 10 is driven to move by the first adjustment component, thereby changing the position of the glue gun 10 so that the glue gun 10 can perform glue application operations in different positions.
[0032] Among them, see Figure 1 As shown, the support assembly includes multiple struts 5 and multiple suction cups 6. The multiple struts 5 are all fixed to the outside of the glue bucket 3, and the multiple suction cups 6 are respectively fixed to the end of the multiple struts 5 away from the glue bucket 3, for adsorption onto the curtain wall to achieve fixation.
[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the suction cup 6 includes a cup body and a vacuum generator (not shown in the figure), the cup body is fixed to the end of the support rod 5, and the vacuum generator is fixed to the support rod 5;
[0034] By adopting the above design, the vacuum generator can be used to control the disk to adhere to the curtain wall or to release the disk from the curtain wall, which is convenient for control.
[0035] Among them, see Figure 1 As shown, multiple support rods 5 are arranged around the connecting pipe 4. The first adjusting member includes multiple first telescopic rods 7, and one end of each of the multiple first telescopic rods 7 is movably connected to the multiple support rods 5, and the other end is movably connected to the connecting pipe 4. It is used to push and pull the connecting pipe 4 so that the first end of the connecting pipe 4 moves relative to the glue bucket 3, and then the second end of the connecting pipe 4 drives the glue gun 10 to move along the extension direction of the gap between adjacent curtain wall panels, so as to realize that the glue gun 10 moves along the gap to apply glue.
[0036] For details, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, there are four first telescopic rods 7 and four support rods 5, and the four support rods 5 are located in the four directions of the connecting pipe 4: top, bottom, left, and right. The other ends of the four telescopic rods are movably connected to the top, bottom, left, and right positions of the end of the connecting pipe 4 away from the glue bucket 3, and are used to push and pull the second end of the connecting pipe 4 to move horizontally / vertically, so as to accommodate the horizontal gap formed between the curtain wall panel and the two adjacent curtain wall panels above and below, and the vertical gap formed between the curtain wall panel and the two adjacent curtain walls on the left and right.
[0037] Furthermore, the first telescopic pole 7 can be an electrically operated telescopic pole;
[0038] By adopting the above design, the first telescopic rod 7 can be extended and retracted, and the connecting tube 4 can be pushed and pulled, so that the connecting tube 4 can move, which is beneficial to control the glue gun 10 to apply glue along the extension direction of the gap.
[0039] Among them, the connecting pipe 4 includes a rubber hose 13 and a branch pipe 14. One end of the branch pipe 14 is movably connected to the glue tank 3 and the other end is connected to the glue gun 10. One end of the rubber hose 13 is connected to the glue gun 10 and the other end passes through the branch pipe 14 and is connected to the glue tank 3. The rubber hose 13 is a flexible hose.
[0040] For details, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the branch pipe 14 is formed by three sleeves that are movably connected, and has a telescopic function. The inner diameter of the sleeve closest to the glue tank 3 is the largest, the inner diameter of the middle sleeve is the second largest, and the inner diameter of the sleeve closest to the glue gun 10 is the smallest. A second telescopic rod (not shown in the figure) is fixed to the outside of the sleeve closest to the glue tank 3. The second telescopic rod can be an electric telescopic rod. The extension and retraction of the branch pipe 14 is controlled by the extension and retraction of the second telescopic rod, so that the overall length of the branch pipe 14 can be finely adjusted, which can adapt to different types of gap glue application.
[0041] Among them, see Figure 2-3 As shown, the glue gun 10 is U-shaped, and both ends of the glue gun 10 are equipped with nozzles for spraying glue. The curtain wall is square, and the distance between the two nozzles is adapted to the side length of the curtain wall panel.
[0042] The branch pipe 14 is connected to the glue gun 10 through the splicing pipe 8. One end of the splicing pipe 8 is fixedly connected to the branch pipe 14, and the other end is rotatably connected to the glue gun 10. One end of the glue tube 13 passes through the splicing pipe 8 and communicates with the glue gun 10.
[0043] The glue applicator also includes a second adjusting component for driving the glue gun 10 to deflect in order to change the glue application direction of the two gun heads;
[0044] The second adjusting component includes a motor 12 and a bracket 11. The motor 12 is fixed inside the splicing pipe 8 by the bracket 11, and the drive end of the motor 12 is fixedly connected to the glue gun 10, so that the rotation axis of the drive end of the motor 12 is consistent with the rotation axis of the glue gun 10. The motor 12 is a forward and reverse motor 12.
[0045] By adopting the above design, when it is necessary to apply glue to two vertical gaps, the glue gun 10 can be driven by the motor 12 to be in a horizontal state, so that the two gun heads correspond to the two gaps respectively. Then, the first telescopic rod 7 drives the glue gun 10 to move and apply glue. When it is necessary to apply glue to two horizontal gaps, the glue gun 10 can be driven by the motor 12 to deflect 90 degrees. When it is necessary to adjust back to a horizontal state, it can be rotated 90 degrees in the opposite direction (the rotation of the glue gun 10 does not turn one revolution).
[0046] Further, see Figure 3As shown, a protective pad 9 is fixed to the horizontal part of the glue gun 10 facing the curtain wall to prevent the glue gun 10 from colliding with the curtain wall when the two ends of the gun head are applying glue along the gap, thereby preventing marks or damage to the curtain wall.
[0047] The glue applicator also includes a control device (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the drone 1, glue gun 10, support assembly and first adjustment component. In this embodiment, the control device is connected to the drone 1, glue gun 10, suction cup 6, first telescopic rod 7, second telescopic rod and motor 12, etc.
[0048] Further, see Figure 1 As shown, a camera 2 is fixedly connected to the drone 1 for real-time monitoring of the drone 1's position and glue application status; a display screen is provided on the control device for real-time display of the images transmitted by the camera 2. The operator can observe and perform a series of control operations through the display screen to carry out precise glue application.
