Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connector for connecting two hollow profile strips, an insulating glass unit, a method for their production and their use.
  • Insulating glazing generally contains at least two panes made of glass or polymeric materials. The disks are separated from one another by a gas or vacuum space defined by the spacer.
  • the thermal insulation capacity of insulating glass is significantly higher than that of single glass and can be further increased and improved in triple glazing or with special coatings. For example, silver-containing coatings enable reduced transmission of infrared radiation and thus reduce the cooling of a building in winter.
  • the other components of double glazing are of great importance.
  • the seal and especially the spacer have a great influence on the quality of the double glazing.
  • the contact points between the spacer and the glass pane are particularly susceptible to temperature and climate fluctuations.
  • the connection between the washer and the spacer is produced via an adhesive connection made of organic polymer, for example polyisobutylene.
  • the glass itself particularly affects the adhesive connection. Due to the temperature changes, for example due to sunlight, the glass expands or contracts again when it cools down. At the same time, this mechanical movement stretches or compresses the adhesive connection, which can only compensate for these movements to a limited extent through its own elasticity.
  • the mechanical stress described can mean a partial or full detachment of the adhesive connection. This detachment of the adhesive connection can then allow moisture to penetrate inside the insulating glazing. These climate loads can lead to fogging in the area of the panes and a decrease in the insulating effect.
  • the spaces between the panes are tightly sealed to reduce the air humidity in the space between the panes to a minimum. This is necessary to prevent the formation of condensed water, since the moisture could lead to the oxidation of vapor-deposited metal-containing coatings on the panes. Due to the tight design of the space between the panes, there is pressure equalization with the surroundings however not possible. When the environmental conditions, such as pressure and temperature, change, the pressure difference between the environment and the inner space between the panes causes the glass panes to bulge in or out. Among other things, this results in an increased load on the edge bond. In addition, built-in moving components, such as blinds, can become jammed due to the recessing of the panes.
  • a passage can be created from the inner space between the panes to the surroundings, which enables pressure equalization.
  • the passage must be designed in such a way that water vapor cannot penetrate into the space between the panes, while at the same time preventing dirt and dust from entering.
  • CH 687 937 A5 discloses insulating glazing with a desiccant-filled hollow profile spacer frame which has perforated and imperforate sections towards the pane interior.
  • a capillary tube is provided for pressure equalization between the interior of the pane and the outside, which opens into an imperforate section of the spacer frame.
  • the actual capillary tube is arranged in the outer space between the panes and surrounded by secondary sealant there. An opening of the capillary tube faces the external environment.
  • a disadvantage of this solution is the complex manufacture of the finished insulating glass unit, since the capillary is very sensitive.
  • DE 10 2005 002 285 A1 discloses a complicated insulating glass pressure compensation system with a capillary and a membrane intended for use in the space between the panes of heat insulating glasses.
  • the pressure compensation system can also be integrated in an enlarged spacer.
  • a disadvantage here is the complex integration of the pressure compensation system, which is fastened in stainless steel clips in recesses of the spacer.
  • WO 2014/131094 A1 discloses a breathing insulating glass unit in which the internal pressure is balanced with the ambient pressure with the aid of one or more openings with a connector according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a connector for connecting two hollow profile strips, which enables simple manufacture of an insulating glass unit with pressure compensation, and also to provide an improved insulating glass unit and an improved method for producing such an insulating glass unit.
  • the connector according to the invention is suitable for connecting two hollow profile strips in insulating glass units. These hollow profile strips are used as spacers in insulating glass units.
  • the connector comprises at least two insertion legs and a connecting area that connects the two insertion legs to one another.
  • the two insertion legs are suitable for being inserted into a respective hollow profile strip and thus establish a connection between two hollow profile strips.
  • the connecting area connects the two insertion legs to one another and is not intended to be inserted into a hollow profile strip.
  • the connection area comprises an outer surface, an inner surface and a disk contact surface.
  • the outer surface faces the surroundings
  • the inner surface in the finished insulating glass unit faces the inner space between the panes
  • the pane contact surfaces are provided so that the outer panes of the insulating glazing can be attached there using a suitable sealant.
  • the connector according to the invention there is a recess which is suitable for producing a passage from the inner space between the panes to the surroundings in an insulating glass unit.
  • the recess has a first opening in the outer surface of the connection area. This opening is closed with a gas-permeable and water vapor-tight membrane. The membrane prevents the ingress of moisture and dust from the environment.
  • the recess which is closed with a membrane, is used in the finished insulating glass unit to produce a pressure equalization between the atmosphere and the inner space between the panes of an insulating glass unit.
  • the connector according to the invention with an integrated possibility for pressure equalization is installed in the course of assembling the spacer frame.
  • the pressure compensation element no longer has to be installed in a separate step.
  • the connector connects two hollow profile strips that are assembled into a spacer frame.
  • the two insertion legs are located in the cavity of the hollow profile strips and are completely hidden.
  • the connector according to the invention thus provides a simple possibility of integrating pressure compensation into an insulating glass unit with hollow profile spacers.
  • a spacer frame can be formed by a hollow profile strip which is bent into a frame and the two ends of which are connected by a connector according to the invention.
  • a spacer frame can also be composed of a hollow profile strip interrupted in several strips, two individual strips of one according to the invention Connectors are connected and the remaining strips are connected using connectors according to the prior art.
  • the gas-permeable and water vapor-tight membrane preferably contains a polypropylene, a polyamide, a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a polyester, a polymer from the group of the perfluoroalkoxy polymers (PFA) and / or copolymers thereof.
  • the membrane particularly preferably contains a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). This gives particularly good values for the moisture diffusion density.
  • the membrane very particularly preferably contains or consists of an expanded microporous PTFE.
  • the MVTR (moisture vapor transmission rate) value of the gas-permeable and water vapor-tight membrane is preferably between 0.001 g / (m 2 d) and 0.005 g / (m 2 d) [grams per square meter and day].
  • the MVTR value is a measurement that indicates the permeability of water vapor through the semipermeable membrane. It describes the amount of water in grams that diffuses through a square meter of material in 24 hours.
  • the thickness of the membrane is preferably in the range from 1 to 100 ⁇ m.
  • the pore size of the semipermeable membrane is preferably in the range from 0.01 ⁇ m to 10 ⁇ m.
  • the semipermeable membrane is preferably arranged on a carrier material, for example laminated on. This can be a woven or a knitted textile.
  • the connector according to the invention is preferably a corner connector or a longitudinal connector.
  • the two insertion legs form an angle ⁇ , where 45 ° ⁇ ⁇ 180 °.
  • the angle is preferably 90 °, and in the case of a longitudinal connector, 180 °.
  • the recess has a second opening in the inner surface of the connection area.
  • the recess thus connects the inner space between the panes and the surroundings.
  • the pressure equalization takes place directly between the environment and the inner space between the panes, which is particularly effective and easy to carry out.
  • the membrane over the first opening of the recess prevents moisture from getting into the inner space between the panes.
  • the recess has a second opening in an end face of one of the two insertion legs.
  • the recess runs from the connection area within one of the two insertion legs to the second opening in the end face of the insertion leg.
  • the recess is thus open to the cavity of the hollow profile strip. Since the hollow profile strip is usually gas-permeable to the inner space between the panes, pressure equalization between the surroundings and the inner space between the panes is made possible in the finished insulating glass unit. The air flowing in through the membrane first reaches the cavity of the hollow profile strip, which can be filled with a desiccant.
  • any moisture present in the incoming air is extracted by the desiccant before it reaches the inner space between the panes. This leads to improved protection against moisture in the inner space between the panes. Since the recess has only a first and a second opening, the air flow in the spacer frame can be directed into a section of the hollow profile strip.
  • the recess is arranged along both insertion legs, and the second opening and a third opening are arranged in the end faces of the two insertion legs.
  • the recess branches in the connection area and then runs within the two insertion legs to two openings in the end faces. Accordingly, the recess in the finished insulating glass unit is open to the cavity of two hollow profile strips. The air flowing in through the first opening can flow in two directions. A particularly effective pressure equalization can be achieved in this way.
  • the end face of a plug-in leg is the surface which faces the cavity when the connector is inserted into a hollow profile strip. The end face is therefore not directly against an inside of the hollow profile strip.
  • the disk contact surfaces of the connection area and the outer surface of the connection area are exposed.
  • the pane contact surfaces are the surfaces which face the outer panes in the finished insulating glass unit and are arranged parallel to the outer panes of the insulating glass unit.
  • the disk contact surfaces can also be connected to the outer disks.
  • the outer surface is the surface that faces the environment in the finished insulating glass unit or is at least partially in contact with the secondary sealant.
  • connection area protrudes with respect to the insertion legs.
  • the supernatant U between The outer surface of the connection area and the outer sides of the insertion legs is 1 mm to 10 mm, preferably 2 mm to 5 mm and particularly preferably 3 mm to 4 mm.
  • the stability of the connector is increased by enlarging the connection area.
  • the material of the secondary sealant In the finished insulating glass unit, it is possible for the material of the secondary sealant to be flush with the outer surface of the connection area. This leads to a very stable arrangement and contamination of the membrane with secondary sealant is prevented.
  • the connection area preferably also protrudes somewhat in relation to the side surfaces of the insertion legs. The size of this overhang depends on the hollow profile strip to be used.
  • the hollow profile strip in the insulating glass unit preferably terminates flush with the pane contact surfaces of the connection area.
  • the membrane is attached in a recess in the connection area in an enlarged connection area (see figures). This protects the membrane from damage that can occur, for example, during assembly of the insulating glass unit.
  • At least the outer surface of the connection area is provided with a water vapor-tight barrier.
  • This barrier is preferably a metal layer which is applied directly to the outer surface of the connection area.
  • This metallization contains aluminum, aluminum oxides and / or silicon oxides and is preferably applied via a PVD process (physical vapor deposition).
  • the coating containing aluminum, aluminum oxides and / or silicon oxides provides particularly good results with regard to tightness.
  • a foil coated with metal can also be used.
  • Such an additional barrier to improve the tightness of the edge bond is advantageous, in particular, in the case of connectors made of polymeric materials which have a high permeability to water vapor.
  • the connector is preferably rigid. This means that after manufacturing the connector with an integrated recess with a membrane, it is no longer bendable in the connection area.
  • the angle ⁇ between the two insertion legs can then no longer be changed significantly, that is to say it can be changed by at most 5 °, preferably by at most 1 °. This design improves the stability of the connector and prevents damage to the fastening of the membrane in the connection area.
  • the connector is produced in an injection molding process.
  • the insert legs and the connection area injection molded.
  • the membrane is preferably integrated directly in the course of the injection molding process, so that a separate step for fixing the membrane is omitted.
  • a possible method for producing a connector according to the invention initially includes the provision of a membrane, which is inserted into an injection molding tool, in which the insertion legs and the connection area are then cast. After the material has hardened, the finished connector can be removed from the injection mold.
  • the membrane is arranged in a sleeve.
  • the sleeve is fastened in the first opening of the recess via a seal.
  • the seal ensures that incoming air can only enter the space between the panes through the membrane.
  • Sleeves with different diaphragms / valves can be used for pressure equalization. The advantage of this design is that the membrane can be easily varied.
  • the seal preferably contains a polyisobutylene.
  • the polyisobutylene can be a crosslinking or non-crosslinking polyisobutylene.
  • the membrane is covered in the first opening of the recess, for example by a rubber cap.
  • the cover serves to protect the membrane against damage and against the ingress of dirt or secondary sealant, which is used when sealing the insulating glass unit.
  • the connector is preferably made of polymers, since these have a low thermal conductivity, which leads to improved heat-insulating properties of the edge composite.
