Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for filling insulating glass with a gas other than air (heavy gas, eg sulfur hexafluoride, a noble gas, or mixtures of air with various gases) having the features of the introductory part of claim 1 and of claim 2 ( EP 0 389 706 A ).
  • a gas other than air hereinavy gas, eg sulfur hexafluoride, a noble gas, or mixtures of air with various gases
  • a problem in the known method for filling insulating glass with a gas other than air is that at least in the area through which the gas is to be filled into the interior of the insulating glass, ie where the exchange is to take place between the spacer and at least one of Glass panes must be a distance. In practice, this is often achieved by holding a glass sheet in the gas filling device at a distance from the surface of the spacer facing it, by sucking it onto and holding it by a plate of the gas filling device subjected to negative pressure.
  • From the EP 0 389 706 A is a method for producing insulating glass panels filled with a gas other than air according to the preamble of claims 1 and 2.
  • this method in at least a portion of the edge of the package of at least two glass sheets and spacers joined therebetween, there is a gap in the form of a slit-shaped opening educated. Through this gap-shaped opening of the gas exchange gas is carried out against air, wherein the free space is formed by effective only during the gas filling, introduced between the glass spacers.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method with which the distance between at least one of the glass panes and the spacer can be achieved more easily without, for example, sucking a glass pane against a plate of a gas filling device and thus keeping it at a distance from the spacer.
  • the spacer means may be arranged distributed over the entire length of the spacer, or only in a region of the spacer, namely in the region in which an opening is to be present, via which the interior of the insulating glass is to be filled with gas.
  • the spacer means may be protrusions in the strand of adhesive used to adhesively bond the glass sheet to the spacer. These surveys may be regions of thickening of the strand of adhesive or patch on the strand of adhesive and in this depressible spacer. If the spacers are made of thermoplastic or elastoplastic material, the spacer means can be pressed into the spacer.
  • the inventive method is suitable not only for two-pane insulating glass, but also for triple and multi-pane insulating glass, wherein the strand of adhesive mounted either on the facing the outer glass panes surfaces of the spacer and / or the inside of the glass sheets becomes.
  • spacer means may be increases in the strand of adhesive, on these spacer blocks (plugs) or in the spacers (made of plastic) which can be pressed in by spacers.
  • the spacers are provided in the region of the strand of adhesive, that is elevations thereof or on this patch plug, it is advantageous if the spacer means have such a dimension that they are pressed in the strand of adhesive during the compression of the insulating glass after the gas filling process, so that it can fulfill its function as a diffusion barrier.
  • gas filling devices known per se gas filling presses
  • gas filling devices disclosed in the abovementioned documents wherein only the lifting of the one glass pane to form an opening for entry between it and the spacer To achieve gas in the interior of the insulating glass, can be omitted.
  • FIG. 1 to 4 Show it Fig. 1 to 4 in schematic oblique views of various embodiments of triple insulating glass, wherein the inventive method for filling the interior of insulating glass with gas is shown schematically, and Fig. 5 to 7
  • Embodiments with spacers on a plastic spacer Embodiments with spacers on a plastic spacer.
  • the in Fig. 1 is present as a "blank" consisting of a package of three glass panes 3, 4 and spacers 5, with a gas other than air (heavy gas), the gas from a double channel 9 in both interior spaces 7 between the outer glass sheets 3 and the middle glass 4 is passed ,
  • two spacers 5 are attached to the middle glass pane 4 and carry on their surfaces facing the outer glass panes a strand 11 of diffusion-tight adhesive, eg butyl adhesive, with projections 13 (spacing of the projections 13 from one another about 50 to 500 mm).
  • the gas supply is interrupted.
  • the outer glass sheets 3 are in a press, which may be the same device for filling with heavy gas (Gashellpresse), moved towards each other, so that they rest against the strands 11 on both spacers 5, thereby deforming the projections 13 and finally flat on the strands 11 abut.
  • the thus pressed insulating glass (blank) is then fed to a device for filling the edge joint with sealant (sealing machine), in which in the two edge joints, which are bounded inwardly by the spacers 5 and laterally of the glass sheets 3 and 4, sealing compound (usually a polysulfide-based compound) is injected.
  • sealant usually a polysulfide-based compound
  • FIG. 2 The embodiment shown differs from that in FIG Fig. 1 shown in that the strands 11 of adhesive (butyl rubber) are not applied to the spacers 5 but on the inner sides of the outer glass sheets 4.
  • the strands 11 of adhesive butyl rubber
  • the spacers 5 facing out surfaces of the strands 11 of adhesive projections 13 are provided, which ensure a distance between the spacers 5 and the outer glass panes 4 during Gas Shellvorganges, so that gas into the interiors 7 between the glass sheets 3 and 4 can flow in.
  • Fig. 3 an embodiment is shown, in principle, the arrangement of Fig. 1 is similar, in which case the spacers 5 are combined to form a spacer 5 and the middle glass pane 4 projects only into the spacer 5.
  • a support bar 19 is provided to support the middle glass sheet 4 and the spacer 5 during the filling process is on the double channel 9, is supplied from the gas, a support bar 19 is provided. Instead of the support bar 19 may be attached to the double channel 9 and individual support projections.
  • FIG. 4 The embodiment shown differs from that in FIG Fig. 3 shown in that the strands of adhesive 11 are not on the outer surfaces, ie the outer glass panes 3 facing surfaces of the spacer 5, but on the inwardly facing surfaces of the outer glass sheets 3 are attached.
  • strands of adhesive 11 are provided on both the outer glass panes 3 and the outwardly facing surfaces of the spacer 5.
  • spacer means in the region of the strand 11 of adhesive on the spacer 5 they are removed before the package is pressed from at least two glass sheets 3, 4 and 5 spacer to a blank of insulating glass.
  • the spacer 5 between the Glass sheets 3, a spacer 5 made of plastic a spacer 5 made of plastic.
  • spacers 5 made of plastic for example, from DE-A 30 02 904 known and are often referred to as "swiggle strip".
  • This spacer 5 has the shape of a strip with a rectangular cross-section, which is provided with protective films withdrawn from a storage drum and is applied by means of an applicator on the glass pane 3.
  • Band-shaped spacers 5 based on butyl rubber are tough as plastic and strongly adhesive, so that a gas-tight connection between the glass sheets 3 of the insulating glass is possible.
  • spacers 5 made of elastoplastic plastic based on polyurethane or the like. These spacers 5 are also of rectangular cross-section and carry on their later outer side a diffusion barrier, e.g. a layer of aluminum foil.
