Definitions

  • the invention relates to a packaging unit for a rolled on a winding core glass and the use of such a packaging unit.
  • Thin glass is being used increasingly for a wide variety of applications, such as in consumer electronics such as cover glasses for semiconductor modules, for organic LED light sources or even thinner display devices or in areas of regenerative energy or energy technology, such as solar cells. Examples include touch panels, capacitors, thin-film batteries, flexible printed circuit boards, flexible OLEDs, flexible photovoltaic modules or even e-papers. Thin glass is becoming more and more of a focus for many applications due to its excellent properties such as chemical resistance, thermal shock resistance, gas tightness, high electrical insulation capacity, coefficient of expansion, flexibility, high optical quality and light transmission or high surface quality with very low roughness due to a fire polished finish Surface.
  • Thin glass is understood to mean glass plates, glass webs, glass substrates or glass foils with thicknesses of less than about 1.2 mm up to thicknesses of 15 ⁇ m and smaller. Due to its flexibility, thin glass is increasingly being rolled up after production and stored as a glass roll or transported for packaging or further processing. The rolling of the glass involves the advantage over a storage and the transport of flat spreading material the advantage of a more cost-effective compact storage, transport and handling in further processing.
  • glass as a brittle material has a rather low breaking strength because it is less resistant to tensile stresses.
  • first of all the quality and integrity of the edges is important in order to avoid the occurrence of a crack or break in the rolled up glass ribbon.
  • Even damage such as tiny cracks, e.g. Microcracks can be the cause of larger cracks or breaks in the glass ribbon.
  • the top of the glass ribbon is under tension, and further, integrity of the surface of scratches, ridges, or other surface defects is important to avoid cracking or cracking in the rolled up glass ribbon.
  • a plate-shaped flange is described with an attached tubular part, which engages in the cavity of a winding core to protect against shocks for both sides of the roll.
  • the two parts should each integrally formed from a polyolefin bead foam, which is to absorb the impact energy.
  • a gap is provided between the upper edge of the rolled-up material and each flange as edge protection.
  • JP 2009-173307 for the storage and transport of a sensitive rolled onto a winding core pressure measuring a form of packaging in which at both ends of the winding core, on which the pressure measuring arc is wound, a flange is formed, the greater than the outer diameter of the wound pressure measuring arc.
  • the pressure measuring arc is brought to a distance from the shelf.
  • a glass film is a material that is easily broken.
  • WO 2010/038760 a further development for a glass roll.
  • various arrangements for buffering with introduced buffer materials between the lateral regions of the glass roll and the flanges will be described. This is to contact the edges of the glass ribbon with the flanges, which could lead to fractures on the edges to be avoided.
  • laterally projecting intermediate layers curled between the glass tape layers are proposed, which fill only a part of the intermediate space and are not in contact with the flanges or which are in contact with the flanges in another proposed embodiment.
  • cracks or breaks in the glass ribbon or at the edges may occur during winding or unwinding of the glass roll if the protruding areas of the intermediate layer become caught or caught. It can also come through shocks or vibrations during transport to a lateral displacement of the glass ribbon layers on the roll, which also leads to fractures of the glass ribbon or edge damage.
  • a lateral shifting of the glass ribbon can be done as a whole along the axis direction of the winding core or by the outer diameter side of the glass ribbon on the roll with respect to the inner diameter side moves laterally and the edges of the glass ribbon then stepwise over each other (lateral "telescoping").
  • a separate buffer material is placed between the glass roll and the flange.
  • a package with vertically directed glass roll is described.
  • several glass rolls to be placed with their winding cores on perpendicular columnar elements, which are attached to the bottom of a box body.
  • the disadvantage here however, on the one hand, a wobbling of the glass rolls during transport.
  • a sufficient spacing of the glass rolls or the filling of a buffer material between the glass rolls is proposed to prevent thereby caused fractures of the glass sheet, the edges, which are located on the footprint of the glass roll, not only by the autogenous pressure of the glass roll but in particular stressed by the shaking of the role in an inappropriate manner, which leads to cracks and breaks in the glass ribbon and edge damage.
  • shocks and vibration-like loads are also transmitted undamped to the glass roller or introduced into the glass roller, which represents a high risk of breakage and cracking of the glass.
  • the object of the invention is thus to avoid the disadvantages described above and to provide a packaging unit for receiving a rolled-up on a winding core glass, which reduces the risk of breakage and cracking of the glass during storage or transport.

  • the vibration damping plate is designed according to a fall protection mat made of rubber granulate. In this way it can be effectively prevented that shocks or vibrations, which act from below on the packaging unit, are inadmissibly transferred to the packaging unit and are transmitted via the latter into a glass roll to be transported.
  • Fig. 6 indicates a corresponding packaging unit Fig. 4 with damping elements, which are respectively arranged in the head-side wall parts and enclose the anchoring of the holding elements.
  • the damping elements are rectangular in the shape of the interior of the anchorage.
  • the anchor 125 is designed without cross braces and includes damping elements 201, 202 which enclose the extension of the support mandrel 181.
  • vibration damping plates may also be provided between the anchor 125 and one or more wall portions 13, 15, 121, 141, 142.
  • an annular damping element is arranged in the anchoring plate 125, which surrounds the holding element 182, here in the form of a pin.
  • the damping element can also be rectangular.
  • the damping element consists of a rubber-metal compound or alternatively also of a pure rubber compound.
  • a vibration decoupling of the retaining element and a glass roller can be made wholly or at least partially and effectively prevented that bumps or vibrations, especially perpendicular or obliquely, but also those which act parallel to the axis of a holding element on the packaging unit, are transmitted via the holding element in a glass roll to be transported.
  • Fig. 7 indicates a corresponding packaging unit Fig. 4 with damping elements which respectively enclose the holding elements or the holding element.
  • the holding element is a continuous carrying mandrel 183. During loading, it is mounted on one side in the anchoring 122.
  • the carrying mandrel 183 is mounted on two sides and is additionally held and supported by the holding element 184, a pin which engages in the end of the carrying mandrel 183.
  • the holding element 184 is held in the anchoring 126, which with the head part 123 is part of the head-side wall element.
  • the support mandrel 183 each with a damping element, such as the damping rings 204, 205 enclosed, which then act as a shock and / or vibration damper between the support mandrel and the winding core.
  • a damping material is a rubber-metal compound or alternatively also a pure rubber compound. In this way it can be effectively prevented that shocks or vibrations are transmitted via the holding element in a glass roll to be transported.
  • each head side of the packaging unit can be arranged on each head side of the packaging unit as a holding element in each case also a pin-shaped support mandrel which engages in the cavity of the winding core and this supports. The support pins are then completely or partially enclosed by a damping ring.
  • Fig. 8 indicates a corresponding packaging unit Fig. 4 with an air cushion 21 around a wrapped glass roll 30 in the lower region
  • Fig. 9 shows a corresponding packaging unit Fig. 4 with an air cushion 22 as a pneumatic tire around the entire circumference of a wrapped glass roll 30.
  • the air cushions are each individually inflatable from the outside via a valve, not shown.
  • the air cushions are filled with air and it is set a defined pressure, which is optionally adjustable and monitored.
  • the air cushion acts as a damping element and the compressibility prevents shocks and vibrations, which act on the glass roller, can damage them.
  • the air is drained or sucked off via the valve.
  • Fig. 10 indicates a corresponding packaging unit Fig. 5 as a clean room for a wrapped glass roll.
  • the packaging unit is made gas-tight in this embodiment and sealed. After loading and closing the packaging unit, a negative pressure or a vacuum is sucked into the interior via a valve, not shown, and then the space is filled with a clean gas such as nitrogen or carbon dioxide, so that a clean room 23 is created.
  • the relative humidity is set within a range of 5 - 15%.
  • the pressure inside the packaging unit is adjustable and adjusted to be slightly above ambient pressure. As a result, in particular contaminated or moist ambient air is prevented from penetrating, as is especially necessary for problematic transport or storage conditions or corresponding risks or for sensitive, usually coated glasses.
