Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spacer for insulating glazings, a glazing, a process for their preparation 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.
  • 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.
  • lower carbon dioxide emissions are required as part of stricter construction regulations.
  • 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.
  • WO 2014198431 and WO 2014198429 disclose a hollow profile spacer made of polymers, which has a groove-shaped receiving profile for a central disc. It is advantageous in this spacer that only a single spacer must be mounted, and thus eliminates the step of adjusting two individual spacers in the conventional triple glazing.
  • a disadvantage of this polymeric hollow profile spacer is that on the outside of a gas and vapor-tight barrier must be applied, since the tightness of the polymeric Basic body alone is not sufficient to seal the inner space between the panes against ingress of water and the loss of inert gas contained.
  • the preparation of the spacer must be carried out separately from the production of the insulating glass unit, since after an extrusion of the polymeric base body must first cure in order to be provided in a second step with a film or a coating, which must also cure depending on the preparation.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved spacer for insulating glazings, to provide an insulating glazing as well as an economical method of assembling an insulating glazing with a spacer according to the invention.
  • the spacer for insulating glazings comprises at least one main body, which has a first wafer contact surface and a second disk contact surface extending parallel thereto, a first glazing interior surface, a second glazing interior surface and an outer surface.
  • the main body has a wall thickness d.
  • a first hollow chamber and a second hollow chamber and a groove are introduced in the main body.
  • the groove extends parallel to the first disc contact surface and second disc contact surface and serves to receive a disc.
  • the first hollow chamber is adjacent to the first glazing interior surface while the second hollow chamber is adjacent to the second glazing interior surface, the glazing interior surfaces being above the hollow chambers and the outer surface being below the hollow chambers.
  • the disk interior of a double glazing with inventive spacer facing and below facing away from the disk interior As the groove extends between the first glazing interior surface and the second glazing interior surface, it laterally delimits them and separates the first and second hollow chambers from one another.
  • the side edges of the groove are formed by the walls of the first hollow chamber and the second hollow chamber.
  • the groove forms a recess which is suitable for the middle disc (third disc) Insulating glazing record. Thereby, the position of the third disc on two side edges of the groove and the bottom surface of the groove is fixed.
  • the main body consists essentially of metal. Essentially in the context of the invention means that the main body consists of at least 90% of metal, preferably at least 95%, particularly preferably at least 99%. Since the base body is made of metal, the spacer has a very good gas and vapor tightness even without a barrier film or barrier coating. As a result, material costs and production costs can be saved.
  • the base body is produced by a roll forming process, particularly preferably in a cold rolling process. A thin metal sheet is bent into the right shape.
  • These processes can be integrated directly into the insulating glass production so that the basic body is produced directly before the assembly of the insulating glass on the same production line. This saves storage and transport costs compared to a separate production of the spacer.
  • the base body can also be produced, for example, in an extrusion process.
  • the bottom surface of the groove directly adjoins the outer surface of the base body, without extending one or both hollow chambers below the groove. This achieves the greatest possible depth of the groove, maximizing the area of the side flanks to stabilize the pane.
  • the wall thickness d B is increased in the area of the bottom surface of the groove in comparison to the wall thickness d of the base body.
  • the stability is increased in the area of the bottom surface, so that the burden of the third disc can be better absorbed.
  • the wall thickness d B in the region of the bottom surface is at least twice the wall thickness d of the main body, namely 2 d, and at most four times the wall thickness d of the main body, namely 4 d. This achieves a particularly good stabilization of the floor area.
  • the wall thickness d B in the area of the bottom surface is exactly 2 d. This embodiment is easy to realize, in particular in the case of base bodies produced by roll forming, since in this case the thin metal sheet can be laid twice in the area of the bottom surface.
  • a web is mounted on the opposite side of the groove of the spacer according to the invention.
  • the web is preferably located directly below the groove and is mounted on the outer surface of the body.
  • the bridge serves to support the spacer frame with integrated third pane during the production of insulating glass after the gluing of the first and second pane to the pane contact surfaces.
  • slippage of the spacer frame is prevented before and after the pressing or during the curing of the outer seal.
  • the spacer bar thus divides the outer pane space into two outer pane spaces, a first outer pane space, and a second outer pane space.
  • the outer space between the panes is defined as the space bounded by the first pane, the second pane and the outer surface of the standoff. Since the entire outer pane space between the outer panes is divided by the gutter of the spacer into two narrower panes, the filling with the material of the outer seal can be performed on a standard triple glazing unit.
  • These systems usually use two nozzles, which are each guided between an outer disc and adjacent middle disc, the two disc edges serve as a guide.
  • the web of the spacer takes over the function of the middle disc and serves as a guide for the nozzle for filling the outer pane spaces with the material of the outer seal.
  • the edge of the web refers to the lower surface of the web, which faces away from the disc interior and facing the outside environment after installation in an insulating glazing.
  • the side surfaces of the web are the surfaces of the web, which point after installation of the spacer in an insulating glazing to the first disc and the second disc and parallel to these.
  • the side surfaces are in the finished glazing in contact with the outer seal.
  • the side surfaces of the web can both run parallel to the first disc and the second disc and be inclined in one or the other direction.
  • the height b of the web gives the dimensions of the outer space between the panes of the finished insulating glazing, since its edge is at the same height as the edges of the outer panes.
  • the height b is preferably between 2 mm and 8 mm.
  • the width a of the web preferably coincides with the width of the groove on the bottom surface, since a particularly good stabilization of the spacer frame is achieved.
  • the width a of the web is preferably between 1 mm and 10 mm, particularly preferably between 2 mm and 5 mm.
  • the web is formed as a T-profile.
  • the web comprises in this case two side arms, which are mounted on the outer wall of the spacer.
  • the two side arms contribute to an improvement in the stability of the spacer, since the contact area between the web and outer wall is increased.
  • they increase the stability of the spacer in the region of the groove, in particular if the bottom surface of the groove adjacent to the outer wall of the spacer.
  • the side arms may extend over the entire outer surface of the polymeric body or cover only a portion of the outer surface. Preferably, they cover about 40% to 60% of the outer surface.
  • the thickness of the side arms is between 1 mm and 3 mm. With these dimensions, a particularly good stability of the web is achieved.
  • the web preferably contains polyethylene (PE), polycarbonates (PC), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene, polybutadiene, polynitriles, polyesters, polyurethanes, polymethylmethacrylates, polyacrylates, polyamides, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), preferably acrylonitrile-butadiene- Styrene (ABS), acrylic ester-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene / polycarbonate (ABS / PC), styrene-acrylonitrile (SAN), PET / PC, PBT / PC and / or copolymers or mixtures thereof.
  • the web can also be glass fiber reinforced.
  • the material of the web has the same coefficient of linear expansion as the main body. This contributes to an improved stability of the spacer.
  • the base body preferably contains aluminum and / or stainless steel or consists essentially of aluminum and / or stainless steel. These materials are particularly stable and durable body can be produced.
  • the base body contains or essentially consists of an aluminum alloy or stainless steel alloy. Particularly good results can be achieved with these alloys.
  • the main body consists essentially of an aluminum alloy with a thermal conductivity of at most 160 W / (m K) [watts per meter and Kelvin].
  • the use of such aluminum alloys improves the heat-insulating properties of the edge seal of the insulating glazing.
  • the base body contains or essentially consists of a stainless steel alloy, particularly preferably a stainless steel alloy with a thermal conductivity of at most 80 W / (m K) [watts per meter and Kelvin].
  • a stainless steel alloy particularly preferably a stainless steel alloy with a thermal conductivity of at most 80 W / (m K) [watts per meter and Kelvin].
  • the use of such stainless steel alloys further improves the heat-insulating properties of the edge seal of the insulating glazing.
  • Essentially in the sense of the invention means that the main body consists of at least 90% of the corresponding metal, preferably at least 95%, particularly preferably at least 99%.
  • a gas-permeable insert is provided in the groove or at least two inserts are attached at a distance of at least 1 mm.
  • the insert also extends over the bottom surface of the groove, whereby a rattle noise of the disc can be particularly effectively prevented.
  • the insert also compensates for the thermal expansion of the third disc when heated, so that regardless of the climatic conditions, a tension-free fixation is guaranteed.
  • the use of an insert advantageous in terms of minimizing the variety of variants of the spacer. In order to keep the variety as low as possible and still allow a variable thickness of the middle disc, a spacer with different deposits can be used. The variation of the insert is in terms of production costs cheaper than the variation of the spacer.
  • a gas-permeable embodiment of the insert according to the invention means that in a finished insulating glazing the first inner space between the first disc and the third disc is connected to the second inner space between the third disc and the second disc so that an air or gas exchange is possible.
  • This allows a pressure equalization between the inner panes, which leads to a significant reduction of the load on the middle pane compared to a version with hermetically sealed inner panes.
  • thinner wafers and in particular non-tempered wafers can be used.
  • This gas-permeable design can be realized by the use of porous materials such as polymer foams, or in the use of gas-tight materials by the introduction of compounds such as one or more channels into the liner.
  • the insert is not continuously disposed along the entire spacer profile in the groove, but only in individual sections deposits are placed in which the disc is fixed in order to prevent rattling of the disc in the groove.
  • the distances between the inserts are at least 1 mm. In the unobstructed areas without an insert, an exchange of air and thus a pressure equalization between adjacent inner pane interstices can take place. Since the inserts are attached in sections, material costs can be saved as compared to attachment along the entire spacer profile.
  • the insert is inserted or inserted in the groove.
  • the base body is first manufactured, and before the Isolierglaszusammenbau the prefabricated insert is inserted or inserted into the groove.
  • suitable profiles can be made separately by extrusion.
  • sealing tapes or sealing profiles can also be purchased as rolled goods.
  • the insert is injected into the groove of the previously manufactured base body. This process is particularly easy to automate. Particularly advantageous is the injection in connection with the interrupted execution of the insert, since it is very easy to inject the insert only in individual sections.
  • the insert contains a butyl sealant.
  • Butyl sealants are widely used in insulating glass production to ensure the bonding of spacers and discs. These sealants are therefore tried and tested for use in insulating glazing and particularly well suited. Butyl can be used in the form of finished cords or, after heating, injected into the designated places in the groove.
  • the insert contains a thermoplastic elastomer, preferably a thermoplastic urethane-based elastomer (TPU).
  • TPU thermoplastic urethane-based elastomer
  • Thermoplastic elastomers are particularly advantageous due to the good processability.
  • the elastomers used must not contain any substances which escape during the service life into the interior of the pane and cause precipitation there. With urethane-based thermoplastic elastomers, particularly good results are achieved.
  • the insert contains a silicone sealant.
  • the silicone sealant can be injected or used as a prefabricated profile. With silicone sealants good results are achieved.

  • 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. Further, the insert 9 prevents noise by slipping the third disc 15. So between the two inner disc spaces 17.1, 17.2 gas exchange and thus pressure equalization can take place along the spacer profile in the longitudinal direction in the groove 6 more deposits 9 are mounted with gaps. The distance between the individual inserts 9 is about 2 cm. In the exposed sections, after installation of a third disc 15 to be used, it is possible to equalize the pressure between adjacent inner pane interspaces 17.1 and 17.2.
  • the first disk 13 and the second disk 14 protrude beyond the disk contact surfaces 2.1 and 2.2 to form an outer disk space 24 which is filled with an outer seal 16, for example a polysulfide.
  • 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.
  • FIG. 7 shows a cross section of another insulating glazing according to the invention with a spacer according to the invention I.
  • the insulating glass corresponds in the basic features of in FIG. 6 shown insulating glazing.
  • the side edges 7 of the groove 6 are curved inward in the direction of the third disc 15.
  • the side edges 7 have a spring action and stabilize the third disc 15 stress-free in the groove.
  • Below the groove 6, a web 20 is attached 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 integrated third disc.
  • the height b of the bridge is 4.5 mm and the width a of the bridge is 3 mm.
  • 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 bonding surface with the outer surface 4 is increased.
  • the web 20 is made of styrene acrylonitrile (SAN) with 30% glass fiber content.
  • 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 edge of the first disc 21, the edge 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.
