Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spacer for insulating glass units, an insulating glass unit and a method for producing an insulating glass unit.
  • Insulating glazing usually contains at least two glass or polymeric materials.
  • the disks are separated from each other 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.
  • Silver-containing coatings for example, enable a reduced transmission of infrared radiation and thus reduce the cooling of a building in winter.
  • the other components of a double glazing are of great importance.
  • the seal and above all the spacers have a great influence on the quality of the insulating glazing.
  • the contact points between the spacer and the glass pane are very susceptible to temperature and climatic fluctuations.
  • the connection between the disc and the spacer is produced via an adhesive bond of organic polymer, for example polyisobutylene.
  • organic polymer for example polyisobutylene.
  • the glass expands or contracts again when it cools down. This mechanical movement simultaneously expands or compresses the adhesive bond, which can compensate for these movements only to a limited extent by its own elasticity.
  • the mechanical stress described may mean a partial or full-area detachment of the adhesive bond. This detachment of the adhesive bond can subsequently allow the ingress of atmospheric moisture within the insulating glazing. These climatic loads can cause fogging in the area of the panes and a lessening of the insulating effect.
  • the spaces between the panes are tightly sealed to minimize the humidity in the space between the panes. This is necessary to prevent the formation of condensation, since the moisture in particular to Oxidation of vapor-deposited metal-containing coatings on the discs could result.
  • Due to the dense design of the space between the panes pressure equalization with the environment is not possible. If the ambient conditions, such as pressure and temperature, change, the difference in pressure between the environment and the interior space between the panes causes the glass panes to bulge or bulge. Among other things, this results in increased stress on the edge bond. In addition, it can come to pinching built-in moving components, such as blinds, through the bulge of the discs.
  • a passageway can be made from the inner space between the panes to the environment, which allows pressure equalization.
  • the passage must be designed in such a way as to prevent the ingress of water vapor into the space between the panes and at the same time to prevent the ingress of dirt and dust.
  • CH 687 937 A5 discloses an insulating glazing with a desiccant-filled hollow profile spacer frame which has perforated and unperforated sections towards the interior of the pane.
  • a capillary tube is provided, which opens into an unperforated section of the spacer frame.
  • the actual capillary tube is arranged in the outer space between the panes and is surrounded by secondary sealing means.
  • the capillary tube is open to the outside environment.
  • DE 10 2005 002 285 A1 discloses a complicated insulating glass pressure equalization system with a capillary and a membrane, intended for use in the space between the panes of thermal insulation glasses.
  • the pressure compensation system can also be integrated into an enlarged spacer.
  • Another disadvantage is the complex integration of the pressure compensation system, which is fastened via stainless steel clips in recesses of the spacer.
  • US 4952430 describes a spacer with an applied mesh.
  • For transporting air and water vapor aligned holes are provided which connect the environment with the interior of the insulating glass, in particular, the mesh is provided with a corresponding hole.
  • EP 2006481 A2 describes an arrangement in which a pressure compensation valve passes through an opening of the outer wall of the spacer in the cavity of the
  • the pressure balance valve contains a membrane which is permeable to gas and water vapor.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a spacer for insulating glass units, which allows easy production of an insulating unit with integrated pressure compensation, as well as an insulating glass unit, and to provide a simplified method for their preparation.
  • the spacer according to the invention for insulating glass units comprises at least one hollow profile with a first side wall, a second side wall arranged parallel thereto, a glazing interior wall, an outer wall and a
  • the cavity is enclosed by the side walls, the glazing interior wall and the exterior wall.
  • the glazing interior wall is arranged perpendicular to the side walls and connects the first side wall with the second side wall.
  • the side walls are the walls of the hollow profile to which the outer panes of the insulating glass unit are attached.
  • the glazing interior wall is the wall of the hollow profile, which points to the inner space between the panes after installation in the finished insulating glass unit.
  • the outer wall is arranged substantially parallel to the glazing interior wall and connects the first side wall to the second side wall. The outer wall has after installation in the finished insulating glass unit to the outer space between the panes. In a covered area on the outer wall, a semipermeable membrane is attached.
  • On the outer wall means that the semipermeable membrane is mounted on the side of the outer wall facing away from the cavity of the hollow profile.
  • the membrane therefore points in the finished insulating glass unit in the direction of the outer space between the panes.
  • the membrane is gas-permeable and moisture-proof at the same time.
  • the glazing interior wall and the outer wall are gas-permeable and moisture-permeable at least in the covered area. For the outer wall, this means that it is gas-permeable and permeable to moisture under the membrane.
  • the cavity communicates in an insulating glass unit via the permeable glazing interior wall with the inner space between the panes.
  • a pressure equalization can take place in the covered area through the membrane, at the same time the penetration of moisture into the inner space between the panes through the cover with the semipermeable membrane being prevented.
  • the installation of such a spacer with membrane can be done without special precautions in the course of automated assembly of an insulating glass unit. There is no time-consuming subsequent installation of an additional pressure compensation element required.
  • the spacer according to the invention is a surprisingly simple but at the same time highly effective way to integrate a pressure equalization in an insulating glazing.
  • the membrane has no opening or opening.
  • the membrane is in particular not part of a pressure compensation valve and thus used in no housing of such a valve.
  • the glazing interior wall can be made permeable along the entire hollow profile (in the longitudinal direction). Also, the outer wall may be designed to be permeable over the entire length of the hollow profile, in which case preferably additional measures are taken to prevent the ingress of moisture into the inner space between the panes.
  • the cavity of the spacer according to the invention leads to a weight reduction compared to a solid shaped spacer and is available for receiving other components, such as a desiccant available.
  • the first side wall and the second side wall represent the sides of the spacer at which the mounting of the outer panes of an insulating glass unit takes place during installation of the spacer.
  • the first side wall and the second side wall are parallel to each other.
  • the outer wall of the hollow profile is the wall opposite the glazing inner wall, which extends from the interior of the insulating glass unit (inner pane between raum) away in the direction of the outer space between the panes.
