Vorrichtung zum Auftragen von Klebstoff

摘要

A machine for adheivesly bonding two workpieces while they are moved by feed rolls 12 and 14 past a nozzle 24 through which adhesive is extruded on to at least one of the workpieces comprises a pot 30, a chamber 46 in the pot 30 in communication with the nozzle 24, means for supplying adhesive to the chamber 46, e.g. well 32, a cylinder 50 communicating with the chamber 46, a plunger 52 slidably mounted in the cylinder 50 and motor 56 for reciprocating the plunger 52 in the cylinder, which motor 56 is controlled by means sensitive to the movement of the workpieces. The machine includes a ball valve 40 to control passage of adhesive into the chamber and heaters 62, 63 to keep the adhesive molten. In operation, molten adhesive flows from well 32 to chamber 46 via passages 36, 38. When a workpiece moves into a position so treated the motor 56 is actuated such that plunger 52 moves towards the chamber 46 forcing ball valve 40 to stop the entry of adhesive into the chamber 46 and also forcing molten adhesive out of nozzle 24 via passage 60. When the workpiece moves out of the treatment zone the motor is actuated such that the plunger 52 moves away from the chamber 46 and ball valve 40 falls back to its original position. The operation of the motor 56 is controlled by solenoid valves 72 and 74 which are controlled by switch 68. When no workpiece is passing the nozzle 24 compressed air flows from conduit 26 to conduit 28 distending diaphragm 66, the switch 68 is open, the solenoid valves 72 and 74 are de-energized and the motor is supplied with air via valve 80. When the workpiece moves past the nozzle 24 the compressed air is prevented from passing to conduit 28 and hence the switch 68 is closed, the solenoid valves 72 and 74 are energized and the motor is supplied with air via valve 84. Specification 862,213 is referred to.
