Abstract

The glass plate cleaning device has a horizontal conveyor (1, 1a, 4) which, for the purpose of supporting the glass plates (5) by means of one of their two large surfaces when passing through the cleaning device, has support elements (2, 2a) which define a glass plate running surface (6). Arranged on both sides of the glass plate running plane (6) are pairs of driveable brush rollers (8, 8a, 9, 9a, 10, 10a, 11, 11a) whose axes run transversely to the running direction (7) of the horizontal conveyor. In each case at least one brush roller of the brush rollers (8 to 11 and 8a to 11a, respectively) arranged on one and the same side of the glass plate running plane (7) can be driven in the opposite direction to the other brush rollers arranged on the same side. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Glastafelwaschmaschine mit den im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Eine solche Glastafelwaschmaschine benötigt man am Beginn einer Isolierglas-Zusammenbaulinie. Die Glastafeln werden in einer solchen Waschmaschine im Durchlauf gewaschen und anschließend getrocknet. Glastafelwaschmaschinen sind zu diesem Zweck mit zwei Reihen von Bürstwalzen ausgerüstet, von denen die eine Reihe auf die eine Großfläche und die andere Reihe auf die andere Großfläche der Glastafeln einwirkt. Ein weiterer notwendiger Bestandteil der Glastafelwaschmaschine ist ein Waagerechtförderer, welcher die Glastafeln liegend oder stehend in waagerechter Richtung durch die Maschine fördert. Dabei werden die Glastafeln über eine ihrer beiden Großflächen abgestützt; bei den dazu verwendeten Stützelementen handelt es sich im allgemeinen um Rollen mit quer zur Laufrichtung des Waagerechtförderers angeordneten Achsen. Diese Rollen definieren mit ihrer Lauffläche gemeinsam eine Ebene, die nachfolgend als Glastafellaufebene bezeichnet wird; es ist jene Ebene, in welcher die Glastafeln mit ihrer Großfläche, an welcher die Rollen angreifen, liegen. Die Glastafellaufebene ist eine durch die Stützrollen fest vorgegebene Ebene in der Glastafelwaschmaschine.The invention relates to a glass panel washing machine with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1. Such a glass panel washing machine is required at the start of an insulating glass assembly line. The glass sheets are washed in such a washing machine in a pass and then dried. For this purpose, glass sheet washing machines are equipped with two rows of brush rollers, one of which acts on one large area and the other row on the other large area of the glass sheets. Another necessary component of the glass sheet washing machine is a horizontal conveyor which conveys the glass sheets horizontally or horizontally through the machine. The glass panels are supported over one of their two large areas; the supporting elements used for this purpose are generally rollers with axes arranged transversely to the running direction of the horizontal conveyor. Together with their running surface, these rollers define a level, which is referred to below as the glass panel running level; it is the level in which the large-area glass panels on which the rollers engage lie. The glass panel running level is a level predetermined by the support rollers in the glass panel washing machine.

Moderne Isolierglas-Zusammenbaulinien sind so aufgebaut, dass sie die Glastafeln in annähernd senkrechter Lage stehend be- und verarbeiten. Demgemäß haben auch die Glastafelwaschmaschinen, die in solchen modernen Zusammenbaulinien verwendet werden, eine annähernd lotrecht verlaufende Glastafellaufebene.Modern insulating glass assembly lines are constructed in such a way that they work and process the glass panels in an almost vertical position. Accordingly, the glass sheet washing machines used in such modern assembly lines also have an almost perpendicular glass sheet running level.

Die Bürstwalzen sind in den Glastafelwaschmaschinen üblicherweise paarweise angeordnet, d.h., jeder Bürstwalze auf der einen Seite der Glastafellaufebene liegt eine Bürstwalze auf der anderen Seite der Glastafellaufebene gegenüber. Der Antrieb der Bürstwalzen erfolgt bei den bekannten Glastafelwaschmaschinen getrennt vom Antrieb des Waagerechtförderers, und zwar in der Weise, daß die auf ein- und -derselben Seite der Glastafellaufebene angeordneten Bürstwalzen gleichsinnig, die auf verschiedenen Seiten liegenden Bürstwalzen jedoch gegensinnig antreibbar sind. Dabei werden alle Bürstwalzen durch einen gemeinsamen Motor angetrieben und sind zu diesem Zweck durch Getriebeelemente miteinander verbunden.The brushing rollers are usually arranged in pairs in the glass sheet washing machines, i.e. each brushing roller on one side of the glass panel running level is opposite a brushing roller on the other side of the glass panel running level. In the known glass sheet washing machines, the brush rollers are driven separately from the drive of the horizontal conveyor, in such a way that the brush rollers arranged on one and the same side of the glass plate running plane are driven in the same direction, but the brush rollers lying on different sides can be driven in opposite directions. All brush rollers are driven by a common motor and are connected to each other by gear elements for this purpose.

Die Reinigungskraft bekannter Waschmaschinen kann noch nicht voll befriedigen. Der Waschvorgang dauert meist so lange, daß die Waschmaschinen in modernen Zusammenbaulinien für randverklebtes Isolierglas die langsamste Station sind, d.h., daß sie letztenendes die Taktzeit und mit ihr den maximal möglichen Ausstoß einer Zusammenbaulinie bestimmen.The cleaning power of known washing machines cannot yet be fully satisfactory. The washing process usually lasts so long that the washing machines in modern assembly lines for edge-sealed insulating glass are the slowest station, i.e. that they ultimately determine the cycle time and with it the maximum possible output of an assembly line.

Der Erfindung liegt deshalb die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Glastafelwaschmaschine der eingangs genannten Art mit verbesserter Reinigungs-kraft und kürzerer Taktzeit zu schaffen. Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Glastafelwaschmaschine mit denThe invention is therefore based on the object of providing a glass panel washing machine of the type mentioned at the outset with improved cleaning power and a shorter cycle time. This task is solved by a glass sheet washing machine with the

im Anspruch 1 angegebenen Merkmalen. Vorteilhafte Weiterbil- dungen der Erfindung sind Gegenstand der Unteransprüche.features specified in claim 1. Advantageous developments dun g s of the invention are subject of the subclaims.

Dadurch, daß von den auf ein- und -derselben Seite der Glastafellaufebene angeordneten Bürstwalzen jeweils mindestens eine gegensinnig zu den übrigen auf derselben Seite angeordneten Bürstwalzen antreibbar ist, ist ihre Reinigungswirkung erheblich verbessert. Die verbesserte Reinigungswirkung ermöglicht es, die Glastafeln schneller als bislang durch die Waschmaschine hindurchzuführen.The fact that at least one of the brush rollers arranged on one and the same side of the glass sheet running level can be driven in the opposite direction to the other brush rollers arranged on the same side improves their cleaning effect considerably. The improved cleaning effect enables the glass panels to pass through the washing machine faster than before.

Vorzugsweise sind von den auf ein- und -derselben Seite der Glastafellaufebene angeordneten Bürstwalzen benachbarte Bürstwalzen jeweils gegensinnig antriebbar. Das hat zur Folge, daß auf den Glastafeln haftende Verunreinigungen durch die Bürstwalzen abwechseln in der einen Richtung und in der Gegenrichtung überstrichen werden. Dadurch wird die Reinigungswirkung der Bürstwalzen optimal.Preferably, adjacent brush rollers can be driven in opposite directions from the brush rollers arranged on one and the same side of the glass sheet running level. As a result, impurities adhering to the glass sheets are alternately swept by the brush rollers in one direction and in the opposite direction. This makes the cleaning effect of the brush rollers optimal.

Die Anzahl der Bürstwalzen beträgt auf jeder Seite der Glastafellaufebene mindesten zwei, vorzugsweise vier.The number of brushing rollers is at least two, preferably four, on each side of the glass sheet running level.

In den aus beidseits der Glastafellaufebene angeordneten, einander gegenüberliegenden Bürstwalzen gebildeten Paaren können die beiden Bürstwalzen im Rahmen der Erfindung sowohl gleichsinnig als auch gegensinnig antreibbar ausgebildet sein. Vorzugsweise sind sie jedoch gleichsinnig antreibbar. Das hat den Vorteil, daß in jedem einzelnen Bürstwalzenpaar sich die verzögernde und die beschleunigende Einwirkung der beiden Bürstwalzen auf die durchlaufende Glastafel aufheben, wodurch der Lauf der Glastafel gleichmäßiger und der Kraftaufwand zur Erzielung eines schlupffreien Laufes geringer wird. Ein gleichmäßiger Lauf der Glastafel begünstigt andererseits eine gleichmäßige Reinigung der Glastafel.Within the scope of the invention, the two brushing rollers can be designed to be driven in the same direction as well as in opposite directions in the pairs formed from opposing brush rollers arranged on both sides of the glass sheet running plane. However, they can preferably be driven in the same direction. This has the advantage that the decelerating and accelerating action of the two brushing rollers on the continuous glass sheet is canceled in each individual pair of brushing rollers, whereby the running of the glass sheet is more uniform and the effort required to achieve a slip-free run is reduced. On the other hand, even running of the glass sheet favors even cleaning of the glass sheet.

Grundsätzlich ist es möglich, alle Bürstwalzen der Glastafelwaschmaschine durch Getriebelemente miteinander zu verbinden und durch einen gemeinsamen Motor anzutreiben; so ist es auch bei den bekannten Glastafelwaschmaschinen. Vorzugsweise sind jedoch alle Bürstwalzen alle getrennt voneinander antreibbar, denn das ermöglicht es, auf einfache Weise den Drehsinn und die Drehgeschwindigkeit für jede Bürstwalze individuell zu wählen und mit dem Ziel eines besonders guten Waschergebnisses zu optimieren.Basically, it is possible to connect all the brush rollers of the glass sheet washing machine to one another by means of gear elements and to drive them by a common motor; it is the same with the well-known glass panel washing machines. Are preferred However, all brush rollers can all be driven separately from each other, because this makes it easy to select the direction of rotation and the speed of rotation for each brush roller individually and to optimize them with the aim of achieving a particularly good washing result.

Die Erfindung ist anwendbar auf Waschmaschinen, durch welche Glastafeln stehend hindurchgeführt werden, und auf solche, durch welche die Glastafeln liegend hindurchgeführt werden. Bevorzugt ist jedoch die Anwendung auf die erstgenannten Waschmaschinen.The invention is applicable to washing machines through which glass sheets are passed standing up and to those through which the glass sheets are passed lying down. However, application to the first-mentioned washing machines is preferred.

Als bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in den beigefügten Zeichnungen eine Glastafelwaschmaschine mit annähernd lotrechter Glastafellaufebene schematisch dargestellt und wird nachstehend beschrieben.

  • F i g. 1 zeigt die Anordnung der Bürstwalzen und Antriebswellen in der Waschmaschine von der Vorderseite aus gesehen,
  • F i g. 2 zeigt den Querschnitt II-II durch die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Anordnung, und
  • F i g. 3 zeigt den Querschnitt II-II durch die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Anordnung, jedoch mit abgewandelter Drehrichtung der Bürstwalzen.
As a preferred embodiment of the invention, a glass sheet washing machine with an approximately vertical glass sheet running plane is shown schematically in the accompanying drawings and is described below.
  • F i g. 1 shows the arrangement of the brush rollers and drive shafts in the washing machine as seen from the front,
  • F i g. 2 shows the cross section II-II through the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, and
  • F i g. 3 shows the cross section II-II through the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, but with a modified direction of rotation of the brush rollers.

Die Figuren 1,2 und 3 zeigen in einer Waschmaschine die Anordnung von zwei Reihen von Wellen 1 und 1a parallel zueinander und mit annähernd lotrechten, ein wenig nach hinten geneigten Achsen. Die Wellen 1 und 1a tragen über ihre Länge verteilt einige Rollen 2 bzw. 2a, welche drehfest auf oen Wellen 1 bzw. 1a angebracht sind. Im dargestellten Beispiel trägt jede Welle 1, 1a vier solcher Rollen 2 bzw. 2a. Die Laufflächen der Rollen 2a der hinteren Wellen sind so angeordnet, daß sie auf ihrer Vorderseite eine gemeinsame Tangentialebene 6 haben, welche hier als Glastafellaufebene bezeichnet wird. Glastafeln 5, welche durch die Waschmaschine geführt werden, lehnen sich mit ihrer hinteren Großfläche, welche mit der Glastafellaufebene 6 zusammenfällt, gegen die hinteren Rollen 2a an. Mit ihrem unteren Rand stehen die Glastafeln 5 auf einer waagerechten Zeile von Rollen 4, deren Drehachsen senkrecht zur Glastafellaufebene 6 verlaufen. Von den vor der Glastafellaufebene 6 angeordneten Rollen 2 liegt eine jede einer entsprechenden Rolle 2a aus der hinter der Glastafellaufebene liegenden Gruppe von Rollen gegenüber, d.h., die Wellen 1 und 1a sowie dieRollen 2 und 2a bilden jeweils Paare aus vor und hinter der Glastafellaufebene 6 liegenden Elementen.FIGS. 1, 2 and 3 show in a washing machine the arrangement of two rows of shafts 1 and 1a parallel to one another and with approximately vertical, a little after axles inclined at the rear. The shafts 1 and 1a carry a number of rollers 2 and 2a distributed over their length, which are attached to the shafts 1 and 1a in a rotationally fixed manner. In the example shown, each shaft 1, 1a carries four such rollers 2 and 2a. The running surfaces of the rollers 2a of the rear shafts are arranged so that they have a common tangential plane 6 on their front side, which is referred to here as the glass plate running plane. Glass panels 5, which are passed through the washing machine, lean against the rear rollers 2a with their large rear surface, which coincides with the glass panel running level 6. With its lower edge, the glass sheets 5 stand on a horizontal row of rollers 4, the axes of rotation of which run perpendicular to the glass sheet running plane 6. Of the rollers 2 arranged in front of the glass panel running level 6, each is opposite a corresponding roller 2a from the group of rollers lying behind the glass panel running level, ie the shafts 1 and 1a as well as the rollers 2 and 2a each form pairs of lying in front of and behind the glass panel running level 6 Elements.

Die Wellen 1 und 1a sowie die Rollen 4 sind untereinander synchron anzreibbar; sie bilden gemeinsam einen Waagerechtförderer, durch welchen die Glastafeln 5 durch die Waschmaschine gefördert werden.The shafts 1 and 1a and the rollers 4 can be driven synchronously with one another; together they form a horizontal conveyor through which the glass sheets 5 are conveyed through the washing machine.

Zum Reinigen der Glastafeln 5 ist die Waschmaschine mit vier Paaren 8 und 8a, 9 und 9a,10 und 10a,11 und 11a von Bürstwalzen ausgerüstet, deren Achsen zu den Wellen 1 und 1a parallel verlaufen. Vier Bürstwalzen 8a, 9a, 10a und 11a sind hinter der Glastafellaufebene 6 angeorndet und die übrigen vier Bürstwalzen 8 bis 11 davor. Die Bürstwalzenpaare und die Wellenpaare 1, 1a sind in Laufrichtung 7 abwechselnd aufeinanderfolgend angeordnet. Man könnte aber auch jeder Bürstwalze zwei solche Wellen zuordnen und sie beidseits der jeweiligen Bürstwalze anordnen. Die Zahl von vier Bürstwalzenpaaren ist eine bevorzugte Wahl, grundsätzlich kann die Waschmaschine auch mehr oder weniger Bürstwalzenpaare aufweisen.To clean the glass panels 5, the washing machine is equipped with four pairs 8 and 8a, 9 and 9a, 10 and 10a, 11 and 11a of brush rollers, the axes of which run parallel to the shafts 1 and 1a. Four brush rollers 8a, 9a, 10a and 11a are arranged behind the glass panel running level 6 and the remaining four brush rollers 8 to 11 in front. The brush roller pairs and the Shaft pairs 1, 1a are arranged alternately in succession in the running direction 7. However, one could also assign two such shafts to each brush roller and arrange them on both sides of the respective brush roller. The number of four brush roller pairs is a preferred choice; in principle, the washing machine can also have more or fewer brush roller pairs.

Die Bürstwalzen 8 bis 11 und 8a bis 11a sind getrennt von den Wellen 1 und 1a und getrennt von den Rollen 4 einzeln durch Motoren 19 antreibbar, welche gestellfest oberhalb der Bürstwalzen angeordnet sind. Das Gestell der Waschmaschine ist, da es nicht Teil der Erfindung und für das Verständnis der Erfindung nicht wesentlich ist, nicht im Detail dargestellt. Zumindestens die vor der Glastafellaufebene 6 angeordneten Bürstwalzen 8 bis 11 sind durch Kardanwellen 20 mit den angetriebenen Wellen 21 des ihnen zugehörigen Motors 19 verbunden, um den Abstand dieser Bürstwalzen 8 bis 11 von der Glastafellaufebene 6 ändern zu können. Die hinteren Bürstwalzen 8a bis 11a müssen nicht verstellbar gelagert sein, da die Glastafelaufebene 6 bei wechselnden Glastafeldicken ihre Lage nicht ändert.The brush rollers 8 to 11 and 8a to 11a can be driven separately from the shafts 1 and 1a and separately from the rollers 4 by motors 19 which are arranged fixed to the frame above the brush rollers. The frame of the washing machine, since it is not part of the invention and is not essential for understanding the invention, is not shown in detail. Z at least the brush rollers 8 to 11 arranged in front of the glass plate running level 6 are connected by cardan shafts 20 to the driven shafts 21 of their associated motor 19 in order to be able to change the distance of these brushing rollers 8 to 11 from the glass plate running level 6. The rear brush rollers 8a to 11a do not have to be adjustable, since the glass plate level 6 does not change its position with changing glass plate thicknesses.

Die Wellen 1 und 1a sind oben und unten in Lagern 3, die oberen und unteren Walzenzapfen 12 der Bürstwalzen in Lagern 13 gelagert. Die Lager der hinter der Glastafellaufebene 6 angeordnete Wellen 1a und Bürstwalzen 8a bis 11a können gemeinsam in einem oberen und einem unteren gestellfesten Lagerblock angeordnet sein, wohingegen die vor der Glastafellaufebene angeordneten Bürstwalzen 8 bis 11 zweckmäßigerweise einzeln in getrennten,Lagerblöcken 15, 16, 17 und 18 angeordnet werden, welche quer zur Glastafellaufebene 6 verschiebbar sind.The shafts 1 and 1a are supported at the top and bottom in bearings 3, the upper and lower roller journals 12 of the brushing rollers in bearings 13. The bearings of the shafts 1a and brushing rollers 8a to 11a arranged behind the glass panel running level 6 can be arranged together in an upper and a lower bearing block fixed to the frame, whereas the brushing rollers 8 to 11 arranged in front of the glass panel running level expediently individually in separate bearing blocks 15, 16, 17 and 18 are arranged, which are displaceable transversely to the glass panel running level 6.

Dadurch, da3 bei der erfindungsgemäßen Waschmaschine die Bürstwalzen einzeln antreibbar sind, hat man die vorteilhafte Möglichkeit, den Drehsinn und die Drehgeschwindigkeit der Bürstwalzen 8 bis 11 und 8a bis 11a unabhängig voneinander zu wählen. Die Drehgeschwindigkeit der verschiedenen Bürstwalzen wählt man am einfachsten untereinander gleich, nicht jedoch ihren Drehsinn. Fig. 2 zeigt die Wahl eines Drehsinnes, bei welcher die beiden Bürstenwalzen 8, 8a bzw. 9, 9a bzw. 10, 10a bzw. 11, 11a in einem jeden Bürstenwalzpaar gegensinnig angetrieben sind und in welchem auch in Laufrichtung 7 benachbarte Bürstwalzen gegensinnig angetrieben sind. Letzteres ist bei bekannten Glastafelwaschmaschinen nicht der Fall und hat den Vorteil, daß eine intensivere Reinigung der Glastafeln erreicht wird. Eine andere Möglichkeit des Antriebes zeigt die Fig. 3: Dort sind die in Laufrichtung 7 benachbarten Bürstwalzen jeweils wieder gegensinnig angetrieben, was den Vorteil der gründlichen Reinigung der Glastafeln hat. Innerhalb eines Bürstwalzenpaares 8, 8a bzw. 9, 9a bzw. 10, 10a bzw 11, 11a sind die Bürstwalzen jedoch nicht gegensinnig, sondern gleichsinnig angetrieben; letzteres ist bei bekannten Glasplattenwaschmaschinen nicht der Fall und hat den Vorteil, daß die verzögernde und die beschleunigende Einwirkung der Bürstwalzen auf die Glastafel 5 sich innerhalb eines jeden Bürstwalzpaares aufheben.As a result of the fact that the brush rollers can be driven individually in the washing machine according to the invention, one has the advantageous possibility of choosing the direction of rotation and the rotational speed of the brush rollers 8 to 11 and 8a to 11a independently of one another. The easiest way to choose the rotation speed of the various brush rollers is the same, but not their direction of rotation. Fig. 2 shows the choice of a direction of rotation, in which the two brush rollers 8, 8a or 9, 9a or 10, 10a or 11, 11a are driven in opposite directions in each pair of brush rollers and in which 7 adjacent brush rollers are also driven in opposite directions in the running direction are. The latter is not the case with known glass sheet washing machines and has the advantage that more intensive cleaning of the glass sheets is achieved. Another possibility of the drive is shown in FIG. 3: there the brush rollers adjacent in the running direction 7 are each driven in opposite directions, which has the advantage of thorough cleaning of the glass sheets. However, within a pair of brush rollers 8, 8a or 9, 9a or 10, 10a or 11, 11a, the brush rollers are not driven in opposite directions, but in the same direction; the latter is not the case with known glass plate washing machines and has the advantage that the retarding and accelerating action of the brushing rollers on the glass sheet 5 are canceled out within each pair of brushing rollers.
