Description

Method and device for producing a triple insulating glazing

The present invention relates to a method for producing a triple insulating glazing, a device for the method according to the invention, a triple insulating glazing produced by the method according to the invention and their use.

The thermal conductivity of glass is about a factor of 2 to 3 lower than that of concrete or similar building materials. However, since slices are in most cases much thinner than comparable elements made of stone or concrete, buildings often lose the largest proportion of heat through the exterior glazing. The additional costs for heating and air conditioning systems make up a not inconsiderable part of the maintenance costs of a building. In addition, lower carbon dioxide emissions are required as part of stricter construction regulations. An important solution for this is triple-glazing, which is indispensable in building construction, especially in the context of ever faster rising raw material prices and stricter environmental protection regulations. Triple insulating glazings therefore make up an increasing part of the outwardly facing glazings.

Triple insulating glazings typically contain three panes of glass or polymeric materials separated by two individual spacers. It is placed on a double glazing by means of an additional spacer another disc. When mounting such a triple glazing very low tolerance requirements apply because the two spacers must be mounted in exactly the same height. Thus, the installation of triple glazing compared to double glazing is much more complex because either additional system components for the installation of another disc must be provided or a time-consuming multiple pass of a classic system is necessary.

EP 0 852 280 A1 discloses a spacer for double insulating glazings. The spacer comprises a metal foil on the bonding surface and a glass fiber content in the plastic of the base body. Such spacers are also commonly used in triple insulating glazings, with a first spacer mounted between a first outer disk and the inner disk and a second spacer mounted between a second outer disk and the inner disk. The two spacers must be mounted congruent to ensure a visually appealing appearance. WO 2010/1 15456 A1 discloses a hollow profile spacer with a plurality of hollow chambers for multiple glass panes comprising two outer panes and one or more central panes mounted in a groove-shaped receiving profile. The spacer can be made both of polymeric materials as well as rigid metals, such as stainless steel or aluminum exist. The center glass of the multiple glass panes is preferably fixed in the groove with a primary seal, in particular an adhesive based on butyl, acrylate or hotmelt. Fixing with the primary seal prevents air exchange between the spaces between the multiple glass panes.

DE 10 2009 057 156 A1 describes a triple insulating glazing which comprises a shear-resistant spacer, which is rigidly connected to both outer panes with a high-strength adhesive. The spacer has a groove in which the middle pane of the triple glazing is fixed. The fixation is ensured, for example, by a butyl seal in the groove. The two disc spaces are hermetically sealed off from each other.

The spacers described in WO 2010/1 15456 A1 and DE 10 2009 057 156 A1, which can receive a third disc in a groove, have the advantage that only a single spacer has to be mounted and thus the step of adjusting two individual spacers in the conventional triple glazing deleted. Both documents describe the fixation of the center pane using a gasket to prevent air exchange between the internal panes and to hermetically seal the two panes. This has the disadvantage that between the individual disc spaces no pressure compensation can take place. Temperature differences between the inside of the building facing the space between the panes and the space between the panes and the outside of the building lead to pressure differences between the two panes. If the interpane spaces are hermetically sealed, no compensation can take place, resulting in a high load on the middle pane. In order to increase the stability of the middle disc, thicker and / or tempered discs must be used. This leads to increased material and manufacturing costs.

WO 2014/198429 A1 and WO 2014/198431 disclose insulating glazings and methods for producing triple-insulating glazings. According to the known method for producing a triple insulating glazing, the inner or third disc in the Inserted groove of the spacer, then the first disc on the first disc contact surface and the second disc is mounted on the second disc contact surface of the spacer and then the disc assembly of the discs and the spacer is pressed together.

In the manufacture of triple insulating glazings there is a need to increase productivity. It is already possible with the conventional methods today to produce triple insulating glazings with a stress-free fixation of the middle pane. The disadvantage of the conventional method is the time-consuming connection of the three individual slices.

FIG. 6 shows a flow chart of a possible embodiment of the method according to the invention.

FIG. 7 shows a cross-section of the insulating glazing according to the invention with a spacer (I). The first disc (13) of the triple insulating glazing is connected via a seal (10) to the first disc contact surface (2.1) of the spacer (I), while the second disc (14) via a seal (10) with the second disc contact surface (2.2) connected is. The seal (10) is made of butyl rubber. In the groove (6) of the spacer, a third disc (15) via a liner (9) is inserted. The insert (9) surrounds the edge of the third disc (15) and fits flush into the groove (6). The insert (9) consists of ethylene-propylene-diene rubber. The insert (9) fixes the third disc (15) stress-free and compensates for thermal expansion of the disc. Furthermore, the insert (9) prevents noise by slipping of the third disc (15). The space between the first disk (13) and the third disk (15) is defined as the first disk space (17.1) and the space between the third disk (15) and second disk (14) as the second disk space (17.2). The first glazing interior surface (3.1) of the spacer (I) lies in the first space between the panes (17.1), while the second glazed interior space (3.2) is arranged in the second pane space (17.2). About the openings (8) in the glazing interior surfaces (3.1, 3.2), the disc spaces (17.1, 17.2) with the respective underlying hollow chamber (5.1, 5.2) are connected. In the hollow chambers is a desiccant (1 1), which consists of molecular sieve. Through the openings (8) there is a gas exchange between the hollow chambers (5.1, 5.2) and the disc spaces (17.1, 17.2) instead, wherein the desiccant (1 1) the Humidity from the space between the panes (17.1, 17.2) is removed. On the outer surface (4) of the spacer (I), an insulating film (12) is applied, which reduces the heat transfer through the polymeric base body (1) in the disc spaces (17). The insulating film (12) can be fixed, for example with a polyurethane hot melt adhesive on the polymeric body (1). The insulating film (12) comprises four polymeric layers of polyethylene terephthalate having a thickness of 12 μηι and three metallic layers of aluminum with a thickness of 50 nm. The metallic layers and the polymer layers are each mounted alternately, wherein the two outer layers of polymeric Layers are formed. The first disc (13) and the second disc (14) protrude beyond the spacer (I), so that a peripheral edge region is created, which is filled with an outer insulation (16). This outer insulation (16) is formed by an organic polysulfide. The first disc (13) and the second disc (14) are made of soda-lime glass having a thickness of 3 mm, while the third disc (15) is made of soda-lime glass having a thickness of 2 mm.

FIG. 8 shows a cross-section of an insulating glazing according to the invention with a spacer I according to the invention. The space between the first pane 13 and the third pane 15 bounded by the first glazing interior area 3.1 is defined as the first inner pane space 17.1 and the space between the third pane 15 and the second pane 14 bounded by the second glazing interior space 3.2 defined as the second inner pane space 17.2. About the openings 8 in the glazing interior surfaces 3.1 and 3.2, the inner pane spaces 17.1 and 17.2 are connected to the respective underlying hollow chamber 5.1 and 5.2. In the hollow chambers 5.1 and 5.2 is a desiccant 1 1, which consists of molecular sieve. Through the openings 8 there is a gas exchange between the hollow chambers 5.1, 5.2 and the space between the panes 17.1, 17.2, wherein the desiccant 1 1 removes the humidity from the space between the panes 17.1 and 17.2. The first plate 13 of the triple insulating glazing is connected via a seal 10 with the first disc contact surface 2.1 of the spacer I, while the second disc 14 is connected via a seal 10 with the second disc contact surface 2.2. The seal 10 is made of a crosslinking polyisobutylene. In the groove 6 of the spacer, a third disc 15 is inserted via an insert 9. The insert 9 encloses the edge of the third disc 15 and fits flush into the groove 6 a. The insert 9 is made of butyl rubber. The insert 9 fixes the third disc 15 stress-free and compensates for thermal expansion of the disc. Furthermore, the insert 9 prevents noise by slipping the third disc 15. Thus between the two inner disc spaces 17.1, 17.2, a gas exchange and thus a pressure compensation can take place, several deposits 9 are mounted with gaps in the groove 6. The side edges 7 of the groove 6 extend in this case parallel to the disk contact surfaces 2.1 and 2.2. The insert 9 extends over the entire width of the bottom surface but covers the side edges 7 of the groove 6 only to a part, whereby material is saved. The polymeric base body 1 consists of styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN) with about 35% glass fiber. On the outer surface 4 and a part of the disc contact surfaces 2.1, 2.2, a barrier 12 is applied, which reduces the heat transfer through the polymeric base body 1 in the disc spaces 17. The barrier 12 is designed as a barrier film 12 and can be attached to the polymeric base body 1, for example with a polyurethane hot melt adhesive. The barrier film 12 comprises four polymeric layers of polyethylene terephthalate having a thickness of 12 μηι and three metallic layers of aluminum with a thickness of 50 nm. The metallic layers and the polymer layers are each mounted alternately, wherein the two outer layers of polymeric layers become. The first disc 13 and the second disc 14 protrude beyond the disc contact surfaces 2.1 and 2.2, so that an outer disc space 24 is formed, which is filled with an outer seal 16. The first disc 13 and the second disc 14 are made of soda-lime glass having a thickness of 3 mm, while the third disc 15 is made of soda-lime glass having a thickness of 2 mm.

Figure 9 shows a cross section of a further insulating glazing according to the invention with a spacer according to the invention I. The insulating glazing corresponds in the basic features of the insulating glazing shown in Figure 8. The side edges 7 of the groove 6 are inclined inwards in the direction of the third disc 15. Below the groove 6, a web 20 is attached. The web 20 is used inter alia during the production of insulating glass to stabilize the spacer with an integrated third disc. The height b of the bridge is 4.5 mm and the width a of the bridge is 3 mm. The polymeric base body 1 and the web 20 are made in one piece. This results in a particularly stable connection between web 20 and polymeric body 1. The web 20 divides the outer pane clearance into a first outer pane clearance 24.1 and a second outer pane clearance 24.2. The transverse surface of the first disc 21, the transverse surface of the second disc 22 and the edge of the web 23 are arranged at a height. The outer pane interspaces 24.1 and 24.2 are filled with an organic polysulfide 16. The web 20 divides the outer seal 16 into two parts. Since the thermal conductivity of the outer seal 16 is higher than that of the web 20, a thermal decoupling takes place, which leads to an improvement of the thermal Insulation properties of the edge bond leads. On the outer surface 4, which also includes the side surfaces 25 and the edge 23 of the web in this integral embodiment of the base body 1 and web 20, a gas and vapor-tight barrier 12 is applied.

FIG. 10 shows a cross-section of an insulating glazing according to the invention with a spacer I according to the invention. In the basic features, the insulating glazing corresponds to the insulating glazing shown in FIG. The web 20 and the polymeric base body 1 are designed in two pieces. The web 20 is designed as a T-shaped profile. The two side arms 26 of the web 20 increase the stability of the spacer I, since the bond area with the gas- and vapor-tight barrier 12 is increased. The thickness of the side arms is about 1 mm. The side arms cover only part of the outer surface.

Figure 1 1 shows a cross section of an insulating glazing according to the invention. The first disc 13 of the triple insulating glazing is connected via a seal 10 with the first disc contact surface 2.1 of the spacer I, while the second disc 14 is connected via a seal 10 with the second disc contact surface 2.2. The seal 10 is made of a polyisobutylene. The insert 9 encloses the edge of the third disc 15 and fits flush into the groove 6 a. The insert 9 is made of butyl rubber and covers the bottom surface 26 and part of the side flanks 7. The insert 9 fixes the third disk 15 stress-free and compensates for thermal expansion of the disk. Furthermore, the insert 9 prevents noise by slipping the third disc 15. The insert 9 is mounted so that between the two inner disc spaces 17.1, 17.2, a gas exchange is possible. For this purpose, the insert 9 is not mounted continuously along the entire spacer profile, but divided into several parts. Where no insert 9 is mounted, then a gas exchange and thus a pressure equalization between the inner pane intermediate spaces 17.1 and 17.2 take place. The inner pane interspaces 17.1 and 17.2 are connected via the openings 8 in the glazing interior surfaces 3.1 and 3.2 to the respectively underlying hollow chamber 5.1 or 5.2. In the hollow chambers 5.1 and 5.2 is a desiccant 1 1, which consists of molecular sieve. Through the openings 8 there is a gas exchange between the hollow chambers 5.1, 5.2 and the inner pane interstices 17.1 and 17.2, wherein the desiccant 1 1 removes the humidity from the inner pane intermediate spaces 17.1 and 17.2. The first disc 13 and the second disc 14 protrude beyond the disc contact surfaces 2.1 and 2.2. The transverse surface of the first disc 21, the transverse surface of the second disc 22 and the support edge 23 are arranged at a height. In the outer pane intermediate 24.1, 24.2, an outer seal 16 is attached. This outer seal 16 is formed by an organic polysulfide. Since the outer seal 16 is adjacent to the seal 10, the edge seal is additionally sealed. The barrier 12 seals the spacer I sufficiently even in the areas without external seal 16. The thermal conductivity of the outer seal 16 is higher than that of the polymeric base body 1. The outer pane interspaces 24.1, 24.2 are completely filled with the outer seal 16. As a result, an optimal mechanical stabilization of the edge bond is achieved. Compared to a prior art spacer, outer seal 16 is saved. The insulating glazing according to the invention has due to the separate disc spaces 24.1, 24.2 improved insulation properties compared to a double glazing according to the prior art, as a thermal decoupling takes place by the separation.

The geometry of the spacer I in the insulating glazing invention also leads to an improvement in the stabilization of the third disc 15 in the groove 6. The distance between glazing interior surfaces 3.1., 3.2 to the edges of the outer panes 13, 14 is determined by the later window frame, because the seal 10 and the seal 16 are to be covered by the window frame of the finished insulating glass window. In the insulating glazing invention, this area is optimally utilized for the stabilization of the third disc 15 in the groove 6, since the depth of the groove is maximized. In the insulating glazing according to the prior art, a much smaller depth of the groove is achieved and thus a poorer stabilization of the third disc 15th

Due to the geometry of the spacer I of the insulating glazing according to the invention, moreover, the volume of the hollow chambers 5.1, 5.2 is increased in comparison to a double glazing. In the enlarged hollow chambers 5.1, 5.2 more desiccant 1 1 can be added, whereby the life of the double glazing is increased. The first disk 13 and the second disk 14 are made of soda-lime glass having a thickness of 3 mm, while the third disk 15 is made of soda-lime glass having a thickness of 2 mm.

The outer pane interspaces 24.1, 24.2 are completely filled with the outer seal 16. As a result, an optimal mechanical stabilization of the edge bond is achieved. Compared to a prior art spacer, outer seal 16 is saved. example

Ten triple insulation glazings of dimensions 1000 mm x 1000 mm were produced. For this purpose, in each case a module of a spacer I and an inner disk 15 was produced. The disk 15 had a thickness of 2 mm and dimensions of 990 mm × 990 mm. The spacer Γ corresponded to the spacer shown in Fig. 1 I. The disc 15 was inserted into the groove 6 and the spacer I was formed around the disc 15 to a spacer frame Γ. The ends of the spacer frame Γ were welded together. The module was placed vertically in a rack which at the same time was a double press machine. At the contact surfaces 2.1 and 2.2 of the spacer I, the outer discs 13 and 14 were set with a thickness of 3 mm and dimensions of 1000 mm x 1000 mm. The disks 13 and 14 were pressed with the upper edge 28 'and the side edges 28 "against the contact surfaces 2.1 and 2.2 At the same time, the lower edge 28 of the disks 13 and 14 was pulled outwardly by 5 mm each with two suction cups 29 Time was blown through the formed gap from below argon into the spaces 17.1 and 17.2 After filling, the lower edge of the discs 13 and 14 was also pressed against the contact surfaces 2.1 and 2.2 of the spacer frame. The triple insulating glazing was then out of the frame and thus The manufacturing process took an average of 20 seconds.

Comparative example

Ten triple insulation glazings were made to the same dimensions as in the example, with the following differences. Two separate spacers (prior art) were used. For this purpose, first the disc 13 and the disc 15 and the first spacer were retracted into the press, filled with argon and then disc 14 was retracted with the second spacer to the existing package in the press and filled the second disc space with argon. Subsequently, the entire glass package was pressed. The triple insulation glazing was then lifted out of the frame and thus out of the double press device. The manufacturing process took an average of 30 seconds

The result was unexpected and surprising. With the method according to the invention, the cycle time could be increased by 33.3%. Reference Signs List
