Definitions

  • the invention relates to a linear connector with the features specified in the preamble of claim 1.
  • a linear connector is from the DE 20 2004 004 734 U1 known.
  • the known linear connector in the middle of a rib or another projection which abuts the edge of the hollow profile bar and thereby limits the insertion depth.
  • linear connectors It is known to produce such linear connectors as plastic molded parts by injection molding. It is also known, such linear connectors by punching and bending
  • linear connectors are known, which are produced by cutting of an extruded semi-finished product. This has the advantage that differently wide linear connectors for different width spacers can be formed from one and the same semifinished product.
  • an insulating glass pane must be kept dry so that no moisture can be deposited on the inside of the glass panes of the insulating glass pane at low temperatures. Therefore, insulating glass panes are sealed at their edges to prevent the ingress of moisture.
  • a desiccant which is located in the hollow spacer of the insulating glass pane. So that the desiccant can absorb the moisture from the interior of the insulating glass pane, the side of the spacer facing the interior of the insulating glass pane must be perforated.
  • the joint to be joined by a linear connector between the two ends of a hollow profile bar is, as far as the sealing of the insulating glass pane, a critical point, because the otherwise dense outer wall of the metallic spacer profile is interrupted at this point.
  • the joint is typically sealed by sealing the edge joint of the insulating glass pane, which is bounded by the outside of the spacer and by the edge sections of the two glass panes of the insulating glass pane projecting over the outside of the spacer, with a sealing compound.
  • Good sealing compounds are expensive and their price increases with the price of petroleum, which serves as a raw material for the production of the sealant. Insulating glass manufacturers are therefore anxious to get along with as little sealant.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a way as with low effort a good seal of spacer frame for insulating glass panes can be achieved at a joint of the spacer frame.
  • the linear connector according to the invention has for connecting two opposite ends of a hollow profile rod to form a frame-shaped spacer for the production of insulating glass panes a top, a bottom and two side surfaces which connect the top and bottom of the linear connector together.
  • a waist is provided, which extends at least over the entire width of the top or the bottom of the linear connector. This makes it possible to fill the waist over the entire width of the top or bottom of the linear connector with a sealant. By this sealing compound, the joint between the two ends of the hollow profile bar can be sealed over its entire width.
  • the linear connector is expediently inserted into the opposite ends of the hollow profile bar, that the waist is at least the outer wall of the spacer opposite.
  • that wall is designated which limits the insulating glass pane between its two glued with the spacer glass sheets to the outside.
  • the outer wall of the spacer opposite wall is referred to as the inner wall of the spacer, because it faces the interior of the insulating glass pane.
  • the two walls of the spacer facing the glass panes are called flanks. Appropriate designations are used here for the walls of a hollow profile rod, from which the frame-shaped spacer is formed.
  • An internally sealed groove in the outer wall of the spacer is adapted to completely seal the spacer at this point, even if the spacer contains a desiccant in its cavity and therefore the inner wall of the spacer is perforated.
  • the linear connector is made of a solid material at least in the region of its waist. This facilitates the formation of a waist and gives him at this point an advantageous for the sealing of the joint between the ends of the hollow profile bar mechanical stability.
  • the linear connector can be made entirely of a solid material, in particular of a plastic. But it can also be made of a metal. However, manufacture from a plastic is preferred because it is less expensive and results in poorer heat transport across the spacer as compared to a metallic linear connector.
  • the linear connector does not necessarily consist of a solid material, but may also have cavities, holes or lamellae, which preferably extend over the entire width of the linear connector and are directed to the top or bottom of the linear connector, so that they on the inner wall or act on the outer wall of the spacer forming hollow profile bar and oppose a withdrawal of the linear connector from the ends of the hollow profile bar a resistance.
  • the provision of cavities, holes or fins would save material and desirably degrade heat transfer across the spacer.
  • the waist extends completely around the linear connector. This has the advantage that the entire joint between the two opposite ends of the hollow profile rod can be sealed from the inside, ie along all peripheral walls of the spacer profile, along the outer wall, along the inner wall and along the two flanks of the hollow profile bar.
  • the sealing of the joint from the inside can be done so that the waist is provided with a sealing compound before the two ends of the hollow profile bar are pushed together on the linear connector completely to stop.
  • a sealing compound By pressing at least the outer wall of the two ends of the hollow profile bar, an intimate connection of the sealing compound with the inner surface of the hollow profile bar can be achieved at least in the region of the particularly critical outer wall of the spacer.
  • a hole is provided in the waist of the linear connector, which passes from the top to the bottom through the linear connector.
  • the hole passing through the linear connector from the top to the bottom is preferably cylindrical or has a cylindrical portion and may e.g. B. be made by drilling.
  • the hole on the underside of the linear connector is widened, in particular widened conically or wedge-shaped or expanded spherically. This has the advantage that you can press with a nozzle, which has a particular conical or wedge-shaped or crowned front, the outer wall of the spacer on both sides of the joint in the widened portion of the hole, which easily defines a defined opening of the Groove results, through which the sealant can be injected directly into the hole of the linear connector from the nozzle.
  • the waist is expediently formed by a flat recess or channel which extends from the one side surface to the opposite side surface of the linear connector and on the underside in the preferably intended extension of the hole passes or complements it.
  • the injected sealing compound may optionally be distributed over the entire clear width of the spacing stop, both on the upper side and on the underside of the linear connector, and seal the butt joint in the spacer from the inside.
  • the waist is formed on the two side surfaces of the linear connector by a preferably cylinder jacket-shaped limited, in particular semi-cylindrical, recess extending from the top to the bottom of the linear connector.
  • the - imaginary - cylinder axis of the cylinder jacket-shaped limited recess extends transversely to the top and bottom of the linear connector, expediently parallel to the two side surfaces of the linear connector, which are also - at least outside the waist - preferably parallel to each other.
  • the sealant which is injected in the region of the butt joint in the spacer, seal the joint also on the flanks of the spacer from the inside.
  • the sealant When injecting the sealant into the hole in the middle of the waist, the sealant can flow around the linear connector in both directions, also cover the flanks of the hollow profile rod from the inside in the area of the joint and in this way finally reach that side of the linear connector on which the butt joint for Injection has been opened in the sealing compound by pressing the outer wall of the hollow profile bar.
  • the recesses provided on the side surfaces of the linear connector extend as far as the two ends of the flat recesses which form the waist on the underside and preferably also on the upper side of the linear connector. This is the easiest way to ensure that the sealant fills the waist down to the last corner.
  • the separated from the semi-finished linear connector is inserted by means of the same gripper in the hollow profile bar, which holds it already during the separation of the semifinished product.
  • This is the apparatus and movement of the simplest way of working.
  • it is also possible to proceed in such a way that the linear connector is transferred from the gripper, which holds it during the separation of the semifinished product, to a second gripper and is inserted by the latter into the hollow profile rod.
  • shorter cycle times can be achieved because the processes of separating and inserting into a hollow profile rod can take place side by side in terms of time.
  • "second" holes are additionally drilled in the strand-shaped semifinished product, which also pass from the upper side to the lower side of the semifinished product, in such a way that between each two first holes there is a second hole in each case.
  • This second hole is preferably located exactly in the middle between the two adjacent first holes, if they lie in only a single row, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the strand-shaped semifinished product.
  • the "first" holes are drilled in pairs next to one another in such a way that two holes each have drill axes which are at a distance from each other transversely to the longitudinal direction of the semifinished product and lie in a common plane, one of the "second" Holes, preferably in the middle between two such adjacent planes.
  • this "second" hole to seal the sealing compound for sealing the butt joint between the two ends of the hollow profile bar to be injected after insertion of the linear connector in a hollow profile bar or spacer, from which the spacer is formed or will.
  • the second holes are narrower than the first holes or the first holes wider than the second holes. This ensures on the one hand a sufficient mechanical stability and on the other hand recesses in the side surfaces of the linear connector, which are large enough to achieve a reliable sealing of the joint between the ends of the hollow profile bar.
  • a particular advantage of the invention is that the strand-shaped semi-finished product in any order different width linear connector for different width spacers can be separated. It is just as easy to choose the places where the first and second holes need to be drilled.
  • the linear connector 1 is already inserted into the one end of the hollow profile bar 8, after it has been cut to the required length to form a spacer and before the corners of the spacer are bent.
  • the linear connector 1 is first inserted with half its length in one end of the hollow section bar 8.
  • the free end of the linear connector 1 is inserted into the opposite end of the hollow profile bar 8, see FIG. 4 , So that he is not pushed deeper than half his length in that end of the hollow section bar 8, in which he was first plugged, it is temporarily stuck there z. B. by means of a pair of pliers, with which one acts on the outer wall 10 and inner wall 11 of the hollow profile bar 8.
  • the hollow profile bar 8 is typically made of thin-walled aluminum or stainless steel, preferably stainless steel, and has a hollow profile as shown in FIG FIG. 3 is shown, with an outer wall 10, which points after installation of the spacer in an insulating glass pane to the outside, with an outer wall 10 opposite inner wall 11, which faces the interior of the insulating glass pane after installation of the spacer in an insulating glass pane, and with two flanks 12, which connect the outer wall 10 and the inner wall 11 together and are coated with an adhesive and sealant, with which they are glued to the two glass sheets of insulating glass to secure their mechanical cohesion and to seal the interior of the insulating glass against the ingress of moisture ,
  • the interior of the hollow section bar 8 is usually filled with a granular desiccant, which is intended to bind moisture from the interior of the insulating glass pane.
  • the inner wall 11 is perforated. But it is also possible to store the desiccant in an adhesive and / or sealant and to arrange on the inner wall 11 or on the flanks 12 of the hollow profile rod 8. In this case, a perforation of the inner wall 11 of the hollow profile bar 8 can and should be omitted.
  • the sealing compound 16 flows through the hole 7 in the shallow recess 5 on the opposite side of the linear connector 1, distributed there evenly to all sides and flows through the side recesses 6 to the two edges 12 and further to the inside of the outer wall 10 of the hollow profile bar eighth In this way, the joint 14 between the two ends of the hollow profile bar 8 is completely sealed from the inside, without the sealing compound 16 emerging from the joint 14.
  • the joint 14 is not only reliably sealed in this way, but also very inconspicuous, which is advantageous for the appearance of the spacer in the insulating glass pane.
  • the location of the linear connector 1 is in the two Ends of the hollow section bar 8 by the impressions of the outer wall 10 in the extension 9 of the hole 7 and secured by the injected sealant 16.
  • FIG. 5 shows in perspective in a longitudinal section through the hollow section bar 8 and through the linear connector 1, the arrangement of the linear connector 1 in the hollow section bar 8 before the injection of the sealing compound 16 by means of the nozzle 13, which already pressed the outer wall 10 of the hollow profile bar 8 for this purpose conical or wedge-shaped or crowned Has.
  • FIG. 6 shows enlarged in a longitudinal section through the hollow section bar 8 the state after the injection of the sealing compound 16th
  • FIG. 7 shows in an oblique view of the hollow profile bar 8 shown transparent, as the sealing compound 16 has been distributed at the junction between the ends of the hollow profile bar 8 to the linear connector 1 around.
  • the beginning and end of one and the same hollow profile bar 8 can meet.
  • the end of a first hollow profile bar and the beginning of a second hollow profile bar which are processed together to form a spacer for an insulating glass pane.
  • the two other ends of these two hollow profile rods 8 are also connected by closing such a spacer by such a linear connector 1, so that the spacer contains two linear connectors 1.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 serve to explain an advantageous method for producing the in the FIGS. 1 to 7
  • This semi-finished product 18, which may have been produced by extrusion, is preferably supplied horizontally on a guide device 19 processing tools 20-22, namely two drills with a slimmer drill 20 and a thicker drill 21 and with a cutting tool 22, which is a is rotatably driven saw blade, which is mounted in a pivotable holder 23 about a horizontal axis 24 pivotally mounted in a stand 25 which also carries the guide means 19.

  • the semi-finished product 18 is progressively advanced by such lengths that with the thicker drill 21 first holes 26 are drilled whose distance z.
  • B. computer-assisted is chosen so that the distance of the drilling axes of two adjacent first holes 26 corresponds to the width of each linear connector 1 to be produced. If necessary, the length of the steps can be changed from case to case, so that different width linear connector 1 can be produced in any desired sequence.
  • the linear connectors 1 are separated from the strand-shaped semifinished product 18 so that the saw blade 22 places the separating cut exactly through the middle of each first hole 26.
  • the resulting linear connector 1 is held by a pair of pliers 28, with which, as shown in FIG. 8 is shown schematically, the separated from the semifinished product 18 linear connector 1 can be inserted automatically by an exclusively translational movement directly into a next to the arrangement of the processing tools 20, 21, 22 positioned hollow profile bar 8. This allows a very rational way of working. Of course, a manual method of operation is possible, but which is less efficient.
  • FIGS. 1 to 9 illustrated embodiment may be modified to the effect that the strand-shaped semifinished product 18 and with it the linear connector 1 formed therefrom have a shallow recess 5 not only on the top 2, but in a corresponding manner on the bottom 3. This makes it easier for the sealing compound 16 injected into the spacer through the "second" hole 7 to be distributed around the linear connector 1 and to completely fill its waist.
