Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

Le présent exposé concerne un vitrage et en particulier un vitrage isolant (notamment un double ou un triple vitrage) du type comprenant une première vitre et une deuxième vitre parallèles et séparées par un cadre espaceur délimitant un espace intercalaire étanche entre lesdites vitres.The present disclosure relates to a glazing unit and in particular to an insulating glazing unit (in particular a double or triple glazing unit) of the type comprising a first pane and a second pane that are parallel and separated by a spacer frame delimiting a sealed spacer space between said panes.

Le présent exposé concerne, plus spécifiquement, un vitrage de ce type équipé d'un détecteur de casse du vitrage.The present disclosure relates, more specifically, a glazing of this type equipped with a break detector of the glazing.

ARRIERE-PLAN DE L'INVENTIONBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Les vitrages isolants sont couramment utilisés pour améliorer l'isolation thermique des bâtiments et habitations.Insulating glazing is commonly used to improve the thermal insulation of buildings and dwellings.

L'espace intercalaire entre les deux vitres forme une lame isolante d'air ou d'un gaz moins conducteur de la chaleur que l'air, par exemple de l'argon, qui permet de limiter les pertes dues à la conduction ou à la convection.The interspace between the two panes forms an insulating blade of air or a less heat-conducting gas than air, for example argon, which makes it possible to limit the losses due to conduction or convection.

Les vitrages isolants peuvent être cassés en cas de choc dû par exemple aux conditions climatiques ou à des actes de vandalisme.Insulating glazing units can be broken in the event of a shock due, for example, to weather conditions or acts of vandalism.

Plusieurs systèmes d'alarme ont été développés pour détecter la détérioration des vitrages le plus rapidement possible.Several alarm systems have been developed to detect the deterioration of glazing as quickly as possible.

Le système le plus courant consiste à prévoir, sur la surface extérieure des vitrages, un ou plusieurs détecteurs de casse reliés par des câbles à une unité de contrôle et de commande. La présence de câbles rend l'installation inesthétique et compliquée, les câbles de chaque fenêtre devant être reliés à la même unité de contrôle et de commande.The most common system consists in providing, on the outer surface of the windows, one or more case detectors connected by cables to a control and control unit. The presence of cables makes the installation unsightly and complicated, the cables of each window must be connected to the same control unit.

Plus récemment, il a été envisagé d'intégrer, dans l'espace intercalaire, un détecteur de casse ainsi qu'une batterie et un système électronique connecté par une liaison sans fil à une unité de contrôle et de commande située à distance. Un tel vitrage est décrit dans la demande de brevet internationale WO2015/154688 . Mais l'intégration du système électronique et de la batterie dans l'espace intercalaire rend impossible les opérations de maintenance, et notamment le remplacement de la batterie dont la durée de vie excède rarement dix ans ou le remplacement du système électronique en cas de défaillance de l'un de ses composants. Par ailleurs, la présence du système électronique et de la batterie à l'intérieur de l'espace intercalaire entrave le clair de vue du vitrage. Enfin, le système électronique et la batterie peuvent être endommagés du fait de l'échauffement à l'intérieur de l'espace intercalaire en cas d'exposition du vitrage au soleil. D'autres arrangements de détecteurs de casse pour une double vitrage sont connus de CN201963149 , EP2341490 ou encore DE2933371 .More recently, it has been envisaged to integrate in the intermediate space, a case detector as well as a battery and an electronic system connected by a wireless link to a remote control and control unit. Such glazing is described in the international patent application WO2015 / 154688 . However, the integration of the electronic system and the battery in the intercalated space makes maintenance operations impossible, in particular the replacement of the battery, the life of which rarely exceeds ten years, or the replacement of the electronic system in the event of a failure. one of its components. Moreover, the presence of the electronic system and the battery inside the intermediate space hinders the clear view of the glazing. Finally, the electronic system and the battery can be damaged due to heating inside the intermediate space in the event of exposure of the glazing to the sun. Other arrangements of case detectors for double glazing are known from CN201963149 , EP2341490 or DE2933371 .

OBJET ET RESUME DE L'INVENTIONOBJECT AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

L'un des objectifs de la présente invention est de fournir un vitrage permettant de résoudre les problèmes précités.One of the objectives of the present invention is to provide glazing to solve the aforementioned problems.

Cet objectif est atteint avec un vitrage comportant

  • une première vitre et une deuxième vitre parallèles et séparées par un cadre espaceur délimitant un espace intercalaire étanche entre lesdites vitres,
  • au moins un détecteur de casse disposé à l'intérieur de l'espace intercalaire,
  • un système électronique, et
  • une batterie reliée au système électronique,
le vitrage étant caractérisé en ce que la batterie et le système électronique sont situés à l'extérieur de l'espace intercalaire, entre la première et la deuxième vitre, et
en ce que le vitrage comprend en outre des moyens d'extraction hors du vitrage d'au moins un composant électrique à extraire parmi la batterie et le système électronique.This objective is achieved with a glazing comprising
  • a first pane and a second pane parallel and separated by a spacer frame defining a sealed spacer space between said panes,
  • at least one case detector disposed within the interspace,
  • an electronic system, and
  • a battery connected to the electronic system,
the glazing being characterized in that the battery and the electronic system are located outside the intermediate space, between the first and the second pane, and
in that the glazing further comprises extraction means out of the glazing of at least one electrical component to be extracted from the battery and the electronic system.

Le vitrage selon l'invention n'est pas limité à un double vitrage comprenant uniquement deux vitres, mais peut être tout type de vitrage multiple.The glazing according to the invention is not limited to double glazing comprising only two panes, but can be any type of multiple glazing.

Dans le présent exposé, une vitre peut être une feuille transparente, autrement dit une feuille ayant la propriété de laisser passer la lumière (réellement transparente dans le sens où l'on peut distinguer nettement les objets au travers, ou translucide) ou une feuille opaque. Chaque vitre peut être réalisée dans tout matériau ou combinaison de matériaux adapté(e), notamment du verre et/ou du plastique. Au moins une, et notamment chaque, vitre peut en particulier être une feuille de verre.In the present disclosure, a window may be a transparent sheet, in other words a sheet having the property of allowing light to pass (actually transparent in the sense that objects can be clearly distinguished through, or translucent) or an opaque sheet . Each window can be made of any suitable material or combination of materials, especially glass and / or plastic. At least one, and in particular each, pane may in particular be a glass sheet.

Le vitrage selon l'invention permet d'intégrer tous les composants électriques nécessaires à la détection de casse à l'intérieur du vitrage, tout en conservant une bonne esthétique de celui-ci et en assurant une maintenance aisée.The glazing according to the invention makes it possible to integrate all the electrical components necessary for the detection of breakage inside the glazing, while maintaining a good aesthetic of the latter and ensuring easy maintenance.

La batterie et le système électronique étant situés hors de l'espace intercalaire étanche du vitrage, ils n'obstruent pas le clair de vue.The battery and the electronic system being located outside the sealed spacer space of the glazing, they do not obstruct the clarity of view.

Par ailleurs, la batterie et/ou le système électronique peuvent aisément être extraits du vitrage pour être remplacés.Moreover, the battery and / or the electronic system can easily be extracted from the glazing to be replaced.

Par moyens d'extraction d'un composant, on entend ici des moyens permettant l'extraction dudit composant vers l'extérieur du vitrage, sans détérioration dudit vitrage.By extraction means of a component means here means for extracting said component to the outside of the glazing, without deterioration of said glazing.

Les moyens d'extraction du vitrage peuvent comprendre :

  • soit des moyens d'extraction de la batterie seule
  • soit des moyens d'extraction du système électronique seul
  • soit des moyens d'extraction de la batterie et du système électronique, ces moyens pouvant opérer pour l'extraction indépendante de la batterie et du système électronique, ou pour leur extraction conjointe.
The extraction means of the glazing may comprise:
  • either means of extraction of the battery alone
  • either means of extraction of the electronic system alone
  • or means for extracting the battery and the electronic system, these means being able to operate for the independent extraction of the battery and the electronic system, or for their joint extraction.

De façon privilégiée cependant, les moyens d'extraction comprennent au moins des moyens d'extraction de la batterie, la batterie devant généralement être changée au moins tous les dix ans, comme expliqué précédemment.In a preferred manner, however, the extraction means comprise at least battery extraction means, the battery generally to be changed at least every ten years, as explained above.

Selon un exemple, la première et la deuxième vitre s'étendent au-delà du cadre espaceur en éloignement de l'espace intercalaire, formant une première bordure (de vitre) libre et une deuxième bordure (de vitre) libre situées en regard l'une de l'autre et définissant entre elles un espace fonctionnel, et le ou chaque composant électrique à extraire est situé dans l'espace fonctionnel.According to one example, the first and the second pane extend beyond the spacer frame away from the intermediate space, forming a first free (glass) border and a second (glass) free edge located opposite the spacer one of the other and defining between them a functional space, and the or each electrical component to be extracted is located in the functional space.

Une bordure libre peut s'étendre tout le long d'au moins un côté du vitrage, mais elle peut aussi être plus localisée, en fonction de la forme définie par le cadre espaceur.A free edge may extend all along at least one side of the glazing, but it may also be more localized, depending on the shape defined by the spacer frame.

Selon un exemple, le vitrage comprend en outre un boîtier disposé dans l'espace fonctionnel, le ou chaque composant électrique à extraire étant logé dans ledit boîtier.In one example, the glazing further comprises a housing disposed in the functional space, the or each electrical component to be extracted being housed in said housing.

Dans ce cas, le boîtier est avantageusement maintenu en position à l'intérieur de l'espace fonctionnel par des moyens de fixation. Par exemple, l'espace fonctionnel peut être rempli d'un produit de scellement enrobant le boîtier.In this case, the housing is advantageously held in position within the functional space by fixing means. For example, the functional space may be filled with a sealant encasing the housing.

Selon un exemple, la batterie et/ou le système électronique sont situés dans l'espace fonctionnel, de préférence dans un boîtier tel que défini ci-dessus, de préférence dans le même boîtier.In one example, the battery and / or the electronic system are located in the functional space, preferably in a housing as defined above, preferably in the same housing.

Comme variante, la batterie peut être située dans un boîtier, et le système électronique peut être intégré à l'intérieur d'un connecteur de coin ou d'un profilé formant le cadre espaceur, prévu à cet effet.Alternatively, the battery may be located in a housing, and the electronic system may be integrated within a corner connector or a profile forming the spacer frame provided for this purpose.

Les moyens d'extraction comprennent typiquement au moins une ouverture d'extraction permettant l'extraction hors du vitrage du au moins un composant électrique à extraire.The extraction means typically comprise at least one extraction opening allowing extraction from the glazing of the at least one electrical component to be extracted.

Les moyens d'extraction peuvent comprendre des moyens d'extraction latérale, c'est-à-dire par le chant (i.e. la tranche) du vitrage. Dans ce cas, l'ouverture d'extraction latérale est typiquement formée, sur le côté du vitrage, entre la première et la deuxième bordure libre.The extraction means may comprise lateral extraction means, that is to say by the edge (i.e. the slice) of the glazing. In this case, the lateral extraction opening is typically formed on the side of the glazing between the first and the second free edge.

Selon un autre exemple, les moyens d'extraction peuvent comprendre des moyens d'extraction frontale. Dans ce cas, l'ouverture d'extraction frontale est par exemple une entaille réalisée dans la première ou la deuxième bordure libre.According to another example, the extraction means may comprise front extraction means. In this case, the front extraction opening is for example a notch made in the first or the second free edge.

Les moyens d'extraction, qu'il s'agisse de moyens d'extraction latérale ou frontale, comportent avantageusement un système d'expulsion du composant électrique à extraire, notamment un système d'expulsion à ressort ou à levier.The extraction means, whether lateral or front extraction means, advantageously comprise a system for expelling the electrical component to be extracted, in particular a spring or lever expulsion system.

Le détecteur de casse peut être de natures diverses. Le au moins un détecteur de casse peut notamment comprendre un capteur d'humidité, ou un capteur mécanique, notamment un capteur piézoélectrique, ou autre.The case detector can be of various natures. The at least one case detector may in particular comprise a humidity sensor, or a mechanical sensor, in particular a piezoelectric sensor, or the like.

Selon un aspect avantageux de l'invention, le détecteur de casse est relié par un connecteur plat au système électronique. L'utilisation d'un connecteur plat permet d'assurer le transfert des données sans entraver l'étanchéité de l'espace fonctionnel. Son épaisseur est faible, typiquement comprise entre 50 et 500 micromètres, de préférence comprise entre 100 et 200 micromètres. Le connecteur plat comprend typiquement une feuille conductrice (par exemple en un métal tel que le cuivre) intercalée entre deux feuilles polymère, et liée à chacune de ces dernières par une fine couche de colle. Les feuilles polymère sont typiquement en polyimide ou en un polyester tel que le polytéréphtalate d'éthylène (PET) ou le polynaphtalate d'éthylène (PEN). Le connecteur plat peut comprendre à au moins une de ses extrémités une broche de connexion destinée à établir une connexion amovible avec le système auquel il est connecté. De préférence, le connecteur plat comprend une telle broche de connexion à l'extrémité qui est connectée au système électronique, de manière à permettre le remplacement de ce dernier. En revanche il est préférable pour des raisons de simplicité de montage, de prévoir une connexion directe et permanente avec le détecteur de casse, par conséquent sans l'intermédiaire d'une broche de connexion.According to an advantageous aspect of the invention, the case detector is connected by a flat connector to the electronic system. The use of a flat connector ensures the transfer of data without impeding the tightness of the functional space. Its thickness is small, typically between 50 and 500 microns, preferably between 100 and 200 microns. The flat connector typically comprises a conductive sheet (for example of a metal such as copper) sandwiched between two polymer sheets, and bonded to each of these by a thin layer of adhesive. The polymer sheets are typically polyimide or a polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or ethylene polynaphthalate (PEN). The flat connector may comprise at least one of its ends a connection pin for establishing a removable connection with the system to which it is connected. Preferably, the flat connector comprises such an end connection pin which is connected to the electronic system, so as to allow the latter to be replaced. However it is preferable for reasons of simplicity of assembly, to provide a direct and permanent connection with the case detector, therefore without the intermediary of a connection pin.

Selon un exemple de réalisation, au moins un module photovoltaïque est disposé à l'intérieur de l'espace intercalaire. Le module photovoltaïque est généralement connecté à la batterie par l'intermédiaire du système électronique.According to an exemplary embodiment, at least one photovoltaic module is disposed inside the interspace. The photovoltaic module is generally connected to the battery via the electronic system.

Selon un autre exemple, le vitrage comprend des moyens de chargement de la batterie par induction magnétique.In another example, the glazing comprises means for charging the battery by magnetic induction.

Selon encore un autre exemple, le vitrage comprend des moyens de rechargement de la batterie par effet Seebeck ou thermoélectrique, adaptés pour transformer le différentiel de température entre les deux faces du vitrage délimitant l'espace intercalaire (face 2 et face 3 du vitrage) en énergie électrique.According to yet another example, the glazing comprises means for recharging the battery by Seebeck or thermoelectric effect, adapted to transform the temperature differential between the two faces of the glazing defining the interspace (faces 2 and face 3 of the glazing) in electric energy.

Selon un exemple, le vitrage comprend en outre un dissipateur de chaleur, disposé dans l'espace fonctionnel, de préférence dans le boîtier. Le dissipateur de chaleur est généralement en contact avec la face externe de la vitre située à l'intérieur du bâtiment (face 3 du vitrage). Le dissipateur de chaleur peut par exemple se présenter sous la forme d'un élément conducteur de chaleur, notamment en cuivre, présentant une pluralité d'ailettes de refroidissement. Par ce biais, la température à laquelle sont exposés le système électronique et la batterie peut être maintenue proche de la température ambiante dans la pièce.In one example, the glazing further includes a heat sink disposed in the functional space, preferably in the housing. The heat sink is generally in contact with the outer face of the glass located inside the building (face 3 of the glazing). The heat sink may for example be in the form of a heat conducting element, in particular copper, having a plurality of cooling fins. In this way, the temperature at which the electronic system and the battery are exposed can be kept close to the ambient temperature in the room.

Le présent exposé concerne également un élément de fermeture de baie comprenant un cadre de vitrage (par exemple un cadre d'ouvrant) et un vitrage tel que défini ci-dessus monté dans ledit cadre de vitrage.The present disclosure also relates to a bay closure element comprising a glazing frame (for example a sash frame) and a glazing unit as defined above mounted in said glazing frame.

L'élément de fermeture de baie peut par exemple être un ouvrant adapté pour coopérer avec un cadre dormant d'un dispositif de fermeture de baie tel qu'une fenêtre, une porte ou analogue.The bay closure member may for example be an opening adapted to cooperate with a frame of a dormant closing device such as a window, a door or the like.

L'élément de fermeture de baie peut aussi être un élément fixe.The bay closure member may also be a stationary member.

Selon un exemple, le cadre de vitrage ne recouvre pas l'ouverture d'extraction du vitrage.In one example, the glazing frame does not cover the extraction opening of the glazing.

Dans ce cas, et si les moyens d'extraction comprennent des moyens d'extraction frontale, alors le vitrage peut comporter une bande de masquage destinée à cacher le système électronique et/ou la batterie. Une bande de masquage est typiquement imprimée par sérigraphie et réalisée sur la face d'au moins l'une des vitres. De préférence, une bande de masquage est réalisée sur chacune des deux vitres, les deux bandes ainsi réalisées étant situées en regard l'une de l'autre.In this case, and if the extraction means comprise front extraction means, then the glazing may comprise a masking tape intended to hide the electronic system and / or the battery. A masking tape is typically printed by screen printing and made on the face of at least one of the panes. Preferably, a masking band is formed on each of the two panes, the two bands thus produced being located facing one another.

Selon un autre exemple, le cadre de vitrage recouvre l'ouverture d'extraction du vitrage.In another example, the glazing frame covers the extraction opening of the glazing.

Notamment dans ce cas, le cadre de vitrage présente de préférence une ouverture adaptée pour permettre l'accès au au moins un composant électrique à extraire parmi la batterie et le système électronique du vitrage, pouvant être extrait hors du vitrage.In this case, the glazing frame preferably has an aperture adapted to allow access to the at least one component electrical to extract from the battery and the electronic system of the glazing, which can be extracted from the glazing.

L'ouverture d'accès du cadre de vitrage est alors située en regard de l'ouverture d'extraction du vitrage et dimensionnée pour permettre l'extraction du au moins un composant électrique.The access opening of the glazing frame is then located opposite the extraction opening of the glazing and dimensioned to allow the extraction of the at least one electrical component.

Plusieurs modes ou exemples de réalisation sont décrits dans le présent exposé. Toutefois, sauf précision contraire, les caractéristiques décrites en relation avec un mode ou un exemple de réalisation quelconque peuvent être appliquées à un autre mode ou exemple de réalisation.Several modes or examples of embodiments are described in this presentation. However, unless otherwise specified, the features described in connection with any one embodiment or embodiment may be applied to another embodiment or embodiment.

Les figures 1 à 3 illustrent un double vitrage 10 selon un premier mode de réalisation de la présente invention, comportant

  • une vitre ou feuille de verre extérieure 11 (voir figures 2 et 3), typiquement destinée à être tournée vers l'extérieur d'un bâtiment,
  • une vitre ou feuille de verre intérieure 12 (voir figures 2 et 3), typiquement destinée à être tournée vers l'intérieur du bâtiment et parallèle à la vitre extérieure 11,
  • un cadre espaceur 14 s'étendant continument le long du bord de la première et de la deuxième vitre 11, 12, un espace intercalaire étanche 16 étant délimité par le cadre espaceur 14 entre les deux vitres 11, 12,
  • un détecteur de casse 40 disposé à l'intérieur de l'espace intercalaire 16,
  • un système électronique 50 relié au détecteur de casse 40 et adapté pour transmettre un signal (notamment un signal radio) à une unité de contrôle et de commande externe (non représentée) en cas de détection d'une casse par le détecteur de casse 40, et
  • une batterie 60 reliée au système électronique 50 et destinée à alimenter électriquement ce système.
The Figures 1 to 3 illustrate a double glazing 10 according to a first embodiment of the present invention, comprising
  • an outer glass or sheet of glass 11 (see Figures 2 and 3 ), typically intended to be turned towards the outside of a building,
  • a glass or inner sheet of glass 12 (see Figures 2 and 3 ), typically intended to be turned towards the interior of the building and parallel to the outer pane 11,
  • a spacer frame 14 extending continuously along the edge of the first and the second pane 11, 12, a sealed spacer space 16 being delimited by the spacer frame 14 between the two panes 11, 12,
  • a case detector 40 disposed inside the interspace 16,
  • an electronic system 50 connected to the case detector 40 and adapted to transmit a signal (in particular a radio signal) to an external control and control unit (not shown) in case of detection of a breakage by the case detector 40, and
  • a battery 60 connected to the electronic system 50 and intended to power this system electrically.

Il est habituel de nommer les faces principales des vitres d'un double vitrage par des numéros allant de 1 à 4. Ainsi, la face externe de la vitre extérieure 11 tournée vers l'extérieur du bâtiment porte le numéro 1, la face interne de la vitre extérieure 11 tournée vers la feuille intérieure 12 porte le numéro 2, la face externe de la vitre intérieure 12 tournée vers la feuille extérieure 11 porte le numéro 3 et la face interne de la vitre intérieure 12 tournée vers l'intérieur du bâtiment porte le numéro 4, comme représenté sur les figures.It is usual to name the main faces of the windows of a double glazing by numbers ranging from 1 to 4. Thus, the outer face of the outer pane 11 facing the outside of the building bears the number 1, the inner face of the outer pane 11 facing the inner sheet 12 has the number 2, the outer face of the inner pane 12 facing the outer sheet 11 is numbered 3 and the inner face of the inner pane 12 facing the inside of the building door number 4, as shown in the figures.

Une direction principale X du vitrage 1, est perpendiculaire aux faces principales respectivement 1, 2 et 3, 4 des deux vitres 11, 12. Elle correspond généralement à la direction de vision à travers le vitrage,A main direction X of the glazing 1, is perpendicular to the main faces respectively 1, 2 and 3, 4 of the two panes 11, 12. It generally corresponds to the direction of vision through the glazing,

Une direction orthogonale à la direction principale X est une direction dite latérale du vitrage.A direction orthogonal to the main direction X is a so-called lateral direction of the glazing.

Pour chaque vitrage, on peut définir une direction longitudinale Z et une direction transversale Y, orthogonales entre elles, et à la direction principale X.For each window, it is possible to define a longitudinal direction Z and a transverse direction Y, orthogonal to each other, and to the main direction X.

Chaque vitre présente généralement deux côtés longitudinaux, parallèles, s'étendant dans la direction longitudinale Z, et deux côtés transversaux, parallèles, s'étendant dans la direction transversale Y.Each window generally has two longitudinal sides, parallel, extending in the longitudinal direction Z, and two transverse sides, parallel, extending in the transverse direction Y.

Dans le présent exposé, un déplacement ou une extraction frontal(e) doit être entendu(e) comme un déplacement ou une extraction dans la direction principale X du vitrage.In the present discussion, a front displacement or extraction must be understood as a displacement or an extraction in the main direction X of the glazing.

De la même façon, un déplacement ou une extraction latéral(e) est un déplacement ou une extraction dans une direction latérale du vitrage, notamment dans la direction longitudinale Z ou transversale Y.Similarly, a displacement or lateral extraction (e) is a displacement or an extraction in a lateral direction of the glazing, in particular in the longitudinal direction Z or transverse Y.

Le cadre espaceur 14 du vitrage 10 forme un ensemble continu et refermé sur lui-même, de forme quelconque, ici rectangulaire, définissant l'espacement entre les deux vitres et délimitant l'espace intercalaire 16.The spacer frame 14 of the glazing 10 forms a continuous and closed on itself, of any shape, here rectangular, defining the spacing between the two panes and delimiting the interspace 16.

Dans l'exemple, le cadre espaceur 14 est formé de quatre profilés rectilignes 18 typiquement en métal, par exemple en aluminium ou en acier, ou en matériau composite, par exemple une combinaison de plastique et d'un film métallique. Ils peuvent avoir des sections transversales (i.e. sections dans un plan orthogonal à leur direction principale d'extension) en U, V ou C. Ils peuvent aussi présenter une forme générale tubulaire, comme illustré sur la figure 3, et être remplis d'un agent absorbeur d'humidité (représenté en figure 3 sous la forme de petites billes).In the example, the spacer frame 14 is formed of four straight profiles 18 typically made of metal, for example aluminum or steel, or composite material, for example a combination of plastic and a metal film. They may have transverse sections (ie sections in a plane orthogonal to their main direction of extension) in U, V or C. They may also have a generally tubular shape, as illustrated in FIG. figure 3 , and be filled with a moisture-absorbing agent (represented in figure 3 in the form of small balls).

Les profilés 18 peuvent être reliés par des connecteurs de coin.The profiles 18 can be connected by corner connectors.

Selon une variante, le cadre espaceur 14 peut aussi être formé d'un ou plusieurs profilés pliés aux angles. Une ou des pièces de jonction, étanchée(s) à l'aide d'un produit de calfeutrement, permet(tent) dans ce cas d'assurer la continuité de l'étanchéité.Alternatively, the spacer frame 14 may also be formed of one or more bent sections at the corners. One or more junction pieces, sealed (s) with a caulking product, allows (in this case) to ensure the continuity of the seal.

Selon une autre variante, les profilés peuvent aussi être soudés entre eux.According to another variant, the profiles can also be welded together.

De façon classique, un cordon de mastic respectivement 21, 22, généralement du butyle, est prévu entre chaque côté du cadre espaceur 14 et chaque feuille de verre 11, 12. Lors de la fabrication, les cordons de mastic 21, 22 sont pré-déposés sur les côtés du cadre espaceur 14, le cadre couvert de mastic est tout d'abord disposé sur une feuille 11 préalablement lavée, la deuxième feuille de verre 12 est rapportée sur le cadre espaceur, puis l'ensemble est solidarisé dans une presse. Les cordons de mastic 21, 22 permettent à la fois de solidariser le cadre espaceur 14 aux feuilles de verre 11, 12 afin de réaliser le scellement du vitrage isolant 10, et de réaliser une première barrière d'étanchéité au gaz et à la vapeur d'eau.Conventionally, a mastic bead 21, 22, generally butyl, is provided between each side of the spacer frame 14 and each glass sheet 11, 12. During manufacture, mastic cords 21, 22 are preferably deposited on the sides of the spacer frame 14, the frame covered with putty is first placed on a sheet 11 previously washed, the second sheet of glass 12 is attached to the spacer frame, and the assembly is secured in a press. Putty beads 21, 22 allow both to secure the spacer frame 14 to the glass sheets 11, 12 to seal the insulating glass 10, and to achieve a first barrier gas and water vapor.

Un produit de scellement, par exemple du polyuréthane, du polysulfure ou de la silicone, forme par ailleurs un joint 24 entre les feuilles de verre 11, 12 du vitrage isolant 10, à l'extérieur du cadre espaceur 14, ce qui permet de réaliser une deuxième barrière d'étanchéité au gaz et à la vapeur d'eau.A sealant, for example polyurethane, polysulfide or silicone, also forms a seal 24 between the glass sheets 11, 12 of the insulating glazing unit 10, outside the spacer frame 14, which makes it possible to produce a second barrier against gas and water vapor.

Dans l'exemple particulier représenté, la première et la deuxième feuille de verre 11, 12 s'étendent au-delà du cadre espaceur 14 et de la deuxième barrière d'étanchéité formée par le joint 24, en éloignement de l'espace intercalaire 16, formant une première bordure libre 31 et une deuxième bordure libre 32 situées en regard l'une de l'autre et délimitant entre elles et avec le cadre espaceur 14, un espace fonctionnel 34.In the particular example shown, the first and second glass sheets 11, 12 extend beyond the spacer frame 14 and the second sealing barrier formed by the seal 24, away from the spacer space 16 , forming a first free edge 31 and a second free edge 32 facing each other and delimiting between them and with the spacer frame 14, a functional space 34.

La première et la deuxième bordure libre s'étendent ici tout le long du bord transversal supérieur du vitrage. Selon d'autres exemples, notamment des figures 8 et 9 qui seront décrites dans la suite, l'espace fonctionnel 34 peut aussi être plus localisé.The first and second free edges extend here all along the upper transverse edge of the glazing. According to other examples, Figures 8 and 9 which will be described in the following, the functional space 34 can also be more localized.

Dans l'exemple, un boîtier 36 est logé dans l'espace fonctionnel 34. Pour son maintien en position, le boîtier 36 est enrobé d'un produit de scellement 38 du même type que celui réalisant la deuxième barrière d'étanchéité 24, ou d'un type différent, remplissant l'espace fonctionnel 34 entre la première et la deuxième bordure libre 31, 32.In the example, a housing 36 is housed in the functional space 34. To keep it in position, the housing 36 is coated with a sealant 38 of the same type as that forming the second sealing barrier 24, or of a different type, filling the functional space 34 between the first and the second free edge 31, 32.

Le boîtier 36 abrite le système électronique 50 et la batterie 60.The housing 36 houses the electronic system 50 and the battery 60.

Avantageusement, il abrite également un dissipateur de chaleur passif 70 ici sous forme d'un bloc de cuivre à ailettes. En cas de fort ensoleillement, la température à l'intérieur du vitrage isolant 10 peut atteindre 70°C, parfois même 90°C, ce qui peut impacter la durée de vie du système électronique 50. Le dissipateur de chaleur 70, mis en contact avec le système électronique 50 et/ou l'une des feuilles de verre 11, 12, permet de protéger l'électronique et de baisser la température à l'intérieur du vitrage 10.Advantageously, it also houses a passive heat sink 70 here in the form of a finned copper block. In case of strong sunlight, the temperature inside the insulating glass 10 can reach 70 ° C, sometimes even 90 ° C, which can impact the life of the electronic system 50. The heat sink 70, put in contact with the electronic system 50 and / or one of the glass sheets 11, 12, protects the electronics and lower the temperature inside the glazing 10.

Conformément à l'invention, un détecteur de casse 40, ici un capteur d'humidité, est logé à l'intérieur de l'espace intercalaire 16.According to the invention, a case detector 40, here a humidity sensor, is housed inside the interspace 16.

Lorsque le gaz à l'intérieur du vitrage 10 est un gaz par nature plus lourd que l'air, comme c'est le cas pour l'argon qui est utilisé couramment dans les double vitrages, le capteur d'humidité 40 est avantageusement situé dans la partie haute du vitrage 10 en position d'utilisation. L'air qui pénètre dans l'espace intercalaire 16 en cas de casse du vitrage étant plus léger que le gaz présent initialement dans cet espace, il se localise en priorité dans cette partie haute du vitrage, et l'humidité qu'il contient peut ainsi être plus facilement détectée par le capteur d'humidité 40.When the gas inside the glazing 10 is a gas that is inherently heavier than air, as is the case with argon which is commonly used in double glazing, the humidity sensor 40 is advantageously located in the upper part of the glazing 10 in the use position. The air that enters the intermediate space 16 in case of breakage of the glazing being lighter than the gas initially present in this space, it is located primarily in this upper part of the glazing, and the moisture it contains can thus be more easily detected by the humidity sensor 40.

Le capteur d'humidité 40 est relié au système électronique 50, logé dans le boîtier 36, par un connecteur plat 42, en partie noyé dans l'un des cordons de mastic 21, 22 réalisant la première étanchéité. Le système électronique 50, alimenté par la batterie 60, est destiné à transmettre à distance les informations issues du capteur 40, vers une unité de contrôle et de commande, par exemple par une liaison bluetooth (non représentée).The humidity sensor 40 is connected to the electronic system 50, housed in the housing 36, by a flat connector 42, partly embedded in one of the cords of mastic 21, 22 making the first seal. The electronic system 50, powered by the battery 60, is intended to remotely transmit the information from the sensor 40, to a control and control unit, for example by a bluetooth link (not shown).

Dans l'exemple, la batterie 60 est alimentée par un module photovoltaïque 64 disposé à l'intérieur de l'espace intercalaire 16 et connecté au système électronique 50 par un connecteur plat 62, également partiellement noyé dans l'un des cordons de mastic 21, 22 réalisant la première étanchéité.In the example, the battery 60 is powered by a photovoltaic module 64 disposed inside the intermediate space 16 and connected to the electronic system 50 by a flat connector 62, also partially embedded in one of the cords of mastic 21 , 22 realizing the first sealing.

Cet exemple n'est toutefois pas limitatif. Comme variante, le vitrage 10 peut par exemple comporter des moyens de chargement de la batterie 60 par induction magnétique. La batterie 60 est liée à un récepteur adapté pour coopérer avec un support de transmission (chargeur) extérieur au vitrage, transmettant la puissance à distance (standard Qi), situé sur le système électronique.This example is not, however, limiting. Alternatively, the glazing 10 may for example comprise means for charging the battery 60 by magnetic induction. The battery 60 is connected to a receiver adapted to cooperate with a transmission medium (charger) external to the glazing, transmitting power remotely (standard Qi), located on the electronic system.

Selon un autre exemple, le vitrage comprend des moyens de rechargement de la batterie par effet Seebeck ou thermoélectrique, adaptés pour transformer le différentiel de température entre les deux faces du vitrage délimitant l'espace intercalaire (face 2 et face 3 du vitrage) en énergie électrique.According to another example, the glazing comprises means for recharging the battery by Seebeck or thermoelectric effect, adapted to transform the temperature differential between the two faces of the glazing delimiting the interspace (face 2 and face 3 of the glazing) into energy. electric.

Dans l'exemple illustré, le vitrage 10 comporte des moyens d'extraction de la batterie 60. Autrement dit, la batterie 60 est montée dans le vitrage 10 de façon amovible, et peut en être retirée afin d'être changée.In the example shown, the glazing 10 comprises means for extracting the battery 60. In other words, the battery 60 is mounted in the glazing 10 removably, and can be removed to be changed.

Les moyens d'extraction de la batterie 60 sont ici des moyens d'extraction latérale, c'est-à-dire par le chant (i.e. la tranche) du vitrage.The extraction means of the battery 60 are here lateral extraction means, that is to say by the edge (i.e. the slice) of the glazing.

Le boîtier 36 présente ainsi une ouverture 36a orientée vers l'extérieur du vitrage 10, dans une direction latérale (ici transversale), et permettant la sortie de la batterie 60.The housing 36 thus has an opening 36a directed towards the outside of the glazing 10, in a lateral direction (here transversal), and allowing the output of the battery 60.

Comme illustré sur la figure 2, un système d'éjection 26 est par ailleurs prévu à l'intérieur du boîtier 36. Dans l'exemple, le système d'éjection 26 comprend un levier d'éjection 27 pivotant autour d'un axe C. Une première extrémité 27a du levier 27 est solidaire d'un support 28 sur lequel est montée la batterie 60. Une deuxième extrémité 27b du levier 27 est solidaire d'une tige d'éjection 29 accessible depuis l'extérieur du vitrage 10. Lorsqu'une pression est appliquée sur la tige d'éjection 29 (vers l'intérieur du vitrage), le levier 27 est actionné (pivoté autour de son axe C) et le support de batterie 28 est déplacé vers l'extérieur du vitrage 10, déplaçant dans le même temps la batterie 60, qui peut alors être extraite facilement.As illustrated on the figure 2 , an ejection system 26 is also provided inside the housing 36. In the example, the ejection system 26 comprises an ejection lever 27 pivoting about an axis C. A first end 27a of the lever 27 is secured to a support 28 on which is mounted the battery 60. A second end 27b of the lever 27 is integral with an ejection rod 29 accessible from outside the glazing 10. When a pressure is applied on the ejection rod 29 (towards the inside of the glazing) , the lever 27 is actuated (pivoted about its axis C) and the battery holder 28 is moved outwardly of the glazing 10, moving at the same time the battery 60, which can then be extracted easily.

L'exemple décrit ci-dessus et illustré sur les figures 1 à 3 n'est toutefois par limitatif.The example described above and illustrated on the Figures 1 to 3 however, is not limiting.

Le vitrage 10 peut aussi, en complément, comporter des moyens d'extraction du système électronique 50. Le système électronique 50 peut ainsi être retiré et changé ou réparé dans le cas où l'un de ses composants ne fonctionnerait pas. Dans ce cas, les moyens peuvent être identiques ou différents des moyens d'extraction de la batterie 60. Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, ces moyens peuvent être des moyens d'extraction conjointe de la batterie et du système électronique.The glazing unit 10 may also, in addition, include extraction means of the electronic system 50. The electronic system 50 can thus be removed and changed or repaired in the event that one of its components does not work. In this case, the means may be identical or different from the extraction means of the battery 60. According to a preferred embodiment, these means may be means for jointly extracting the battery and the electronic system.

Par ailleurs, les moyens d'éjection ne sont pas limités à un système à levier et peuvent par exemple comprendre un système à ressort ou tout autre système adapté.Furthermore, the ejection means are not limited to a lever system and may for example comprise a spring system or any other suitable system.

Aussi, l'extraction de la batterie peut être frontale, c'est-à-dire réalisée par l'une des faces principales du vitrage, et non plus par le chant.Also, the extraction of the battery can be frontal, that is to say carried out by one of the main faces of the glazing, and no longer by singing.

La figure 4 illustre un vitrage 10 selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, comprenant des moyens d'extraction frontale de la batterie 60.The figure 4 illustrates a glazing unit 10 according to a second embodiment, comprising front extraction means of the battery 60.

Les éléments identiques ou similaires à ceux exposés en liaison avec les figures 1 à 3 ne sont pas décrits une nouvelle fois.Elements identical or similar to those exposed in connection with the Figures 1 to 3 are not described again.

Le boîtier 36 présente ici une ouverture 36b orientée vers l'une des feuilles de verre 11, 12, ici la feuille de verre intérieure 12, et dimensionnée pour permettre l'extraction de la batterie 60.The housing 36 here has an opening 36b oriented towards one of the glass sheets 11, 12, here the inner glass sheet 12, and dimensioned to allow the extraction of the battery 60.

Une ouverture d'extraction 32b est par ailleurs réalisée dans la bordure 32 de la feuille de verre intérieure 12, en regard de l'ouverture 36b du boîtier 36 et de la batterie 60.An extraction aperture 32b is furthermore made in the border 32 of the inner glass sheet 12, facing the opening 36b of the housing 36 and the battery 60.

L'ouverture d'extraction 32b est par exemple une entaille réalisée au bord de la feuille de verre 12. Comme variante, elle pourrait aussi être une ouverture à contour fermé, distante du bord de la feuille.The extraction opening 32b is, for example, a notch made at the edge of the glass sheet 12. As a variant, it could also be a closed contour opening, remote from the edge of the sheet.

Egalement, l'ouverture 32b pourrait être obturée par une trappe amovible.Also, the opening 32b could be closed by a removable hatch.

Aussi, comme illustré sur la figure 5, le vitrage 10 peut comporter des moyens d'extraction du système électronique 50, notamment des moyens d'extraction indépendants de ceux de la batterie, et en particulier des moyens d'éjection 26' du même type que décrit précédemment.Also, as illustrated on the figure 5 , the glazing unit 10 may comprise means for extracting the electronic system 50, in particular means extraction independent of those of the battery, and in particular ejection means 26 'of the same type as previously described.

Comme dans le mode de réalisation précédent, les moyens d'extraction peuvent par exemple inclure un système d'éjection du type à levier ou à ressort.As in the previous embodiment, the extraction means may for example include a lever-type or spring-type ejection system.

Les figures 6, 7, 8 et 9 illustrent des sections d'éléments de fenêtre selon trois exemples de réalisation.The Figures 6, 7 , 8 and 9 illustrate sections of window elements according to three exemplary embodiments.

Selon ces exemples, chaque élément de fenêtre est un ouvrant comprenant un remplissage (le vitrage), et un cadre de vitrage 80, ici un cadre d'ouvrant, maintenant ledit vitrage. Le cadre est typiquement muni d'une paroi primaire 81 et d'une paroi secondaire 82 en regard l'une de l'autre, adaptées pour venir en appui respectivement contre la face externe et la face interne du vitrage, et reliées par une base 83 formant le chant du cadre. Les deux parois primaire et secondaire 81, 82 et la base 83 délimitent le logement de réception du vitrage.According to these examples, each window element is an opening comprising a filling (the glazing), and a glazing frame 80, here an opening frame, maintaining said glazing. The frame is typically provided with a primary wall 81 and a secondary wall 82 facing one another, adapted to bear respectively against the outer face and the inner face of the glazing, and connected by a base 83 forming the frame's song. The two primary and secondary walls 81, 82 and the base 83 define the receiving housing of the glazing.

Sur la figure 6, l'élément de fenêtre comprend un cadre de vitrage et un vitrage tel que défini précédemment en liaison avec les figures 1 à 3.On the figure 6 , the window element comprises a glazing frame and glazing as defined above in connection with the Figures 1 to 3 .

La base 83 du cadre de vitrage est ici pourvue d'une ouverture d'accès 84a, située en regard de l'ouverture d'extraction et dimensionnée pour permettre l'extraction de la batterie 60 (et du système électronique 50, le cas échéant).The base 83 of the glazing frame is here provided with an access opening 84a located opposite the extraction opening and dimensioned to allow the extraction of the battery 60 (and the electronic system 50, if applicable). ).

Avantageusement, pour des raisons esthétiques, l'ouverture d'accès 84 du cadre de vitrage peut, en utilisation normale, être obturée par un obturateur amovible 85a, l'obturateur 85a étant ouvert ou retiré au moment de l'extraction puis refermé ou remis en place une fois la maintenance de la batterie terminée. L'obturateur est par exemple une trappe, tel que représentée en figure 6, ou encore un bouchon.Advantageously, for aesthetic reasons, the access opening 84 of the glazing frame can, in normal use, be closed by a removable shutter 85a, the shutter 85a being open or removed at the time of extraction and then closed or reset in place after battery maintenance is complete. The shutter is for example a hatch, as represented in FIG. figure 6 , or a plug.

Dans le mode de réalisation de la figure 7, le vitrage 10 est un vitrage du type décrit en liaison avec la figure 4, qui comprend des moyens d'extraction frontale de la batterie 60.In the embodiment of the figure 7 , the glazing 10 is a glazing unit of the type described in connection with the figure 4 which comprises front extraction means of the battery 60.

Lorsque le vitrage 10 est monté dans le cadre de vitrage 80, comme illustré sur la figure 7, l'ouverture d'extraction 32b formée dans la vitre intérieure 12 est recouverte par l'une des parois, ici secondaire, 82 du cadre 80.When the glazing 10 is mounted in the glazing frame 80, as shown in FIG. figure 7 , the extraction opening 32b formed in the inner pane 12 is covered by one of the walls, here secondary, 82 of the frame 80.

Pour permettre l'extraction de la batterie, le cadre de vitrage 80 est muni d'une ouverture d'accès 84b localisée sur ladite paroi 82, en regard de l'ouverture d'extraction 32b. Pour des raisons esthétiques, l'ouverture 84b du cadre de vitrage peut là-aussi être obturée par un obturateur amovible 85b.To allow the extraction of the battery, the glazing frame 80 is provided with an access opening 84b located on said wall 82, facing the extraction opening 32b. For aesthetic reasons, the opening 84b of the glazing frame can also be closed by a removable shutter 85b.

Dans le mode de réalisation des figures 8 et 9, le vitrage comprend également des moyens d'extraction frontale de la batterie 60.In the embodiment of Figures 8 and 9 , the glazing also includes front extraction means of the battery 60.

Dans ce cas cependant, à l'inverse du mode de réalisation de la figure 7, l'ouverture d'extraction 32b n'est pas couverte par le cadre de vitrage 80.In this case, however, unlike the embodiment of the figure 7 the extraction opening 32b is not covered by the glazing frame 80.

Le cadre espaceur forme ici un décrochement à un coin du vitrage, définissant une première et une deuxième bordure libre respectivement de la première et de la deuxième vitre 11, 12, et, entre ces deux bordures, un espace fonctionnel 34 abritant un boîtier 36 dans lequel sont logés la batterie et le système électronique.The spacer frame here forms a recess at one corner of the pane, defining a first and a second free edge respectively of the first and second pane 11, 12, and, between these two borders, a functional space 34 housing a housing 36 in which are housed the battery and the electronic system.

Du fait du décrochement, la majeure partie de l'espaceur peut être cachée par le cadre de vitrage, seule la partie « décrochée » étant localisée dans le clair de vitrage.Because of the recess, most of the spacer can be hidden by the glazing frame, only the "unhooked" part being located in the glazing clear.

Pour des raisons esthétiques, l'ouverture d'extraction 32b est ici munie d'un obturateur amovible 33 (voir figure 9).For aesthetic reasons, the extraction opening 32b is here provided with a removable shutter 33 (see figure 9 ).

Selon une variante, l'obturateur 33 pourrait aussi être omis, laissant le système électronique et la batterie visibles et libres d'accès.Alternatively, the shutter 33 could also be omitted, leaving the electronic system and battery visible and free access.

Dans l'exemple, le vitrage comporte par ailleurs deux bandes de masquage 90, 92 réalisées respectivement sur la face interne de la feuille de verre extérieure 11 et sur la face externe de la feuille de verre intérieure 12. Ces bandes 90, 92 sont typiquement imprimées par sérigraphie (voir figure 9).In the example, the glazing also comprises two masking strips 90, 92 made respectively on the inner face of the outer glass sheet 11 and on the outer face of the inner glass sheet 12. These strips 90, 92 are typically printed by screen printing (see figure 9 ).
