Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of priming glazing and in particular to the field of priming glazing for vehicles.
- the invention relates more particularly to a method of mass production of vehicle glazing, that is to say of large bend (at least 0.2 m 2 ), for which it is desired to operate a partial priming , that is to say not covering the entire surface of the glazing.
- a priming layer is deposited either on a surface of the glazing, or on a surface of the seal portion or accessory.
- the priming layer will thus promote this adhesion. It is therefore an adhesion primer; It is therefore an adhesion primer; it is not a layer having optical properties, and a fortiori not an optical layer over the entire surface, since an adhesion primer is applied only where there will be a portion of joint and / or a accessory to adhere to and is intended to be hidden in the final glazing, since it is applied in direct contact with the seal portion and / or the accessory.
- the priming operation thus consists in depositing a layer of priming fluid either on the surface of the glazing which will accommodate the seal portion or the accessory or either on the surface of the seal portion or of the accessory that will be disposed against the adjacent surface of the glazing.
- An activator or an accelerator or even a heat supply is also sometimes used to activate or accelerate this adhesion or a layer of adhesive is interposed between the priming layer deposited on a surface of the joint portion or of the accessory and the adjacent glazing surface.
- a known method of the prior art consists in applying the priming fluid using a felt soaked in priming fluid by impregnation either manually by a human operator using a manual felt holder, or automatically by using a robot fitted with a support receiving the felt soaked in priming fluid.
- a priming method by pad printing comprising a preparation operation comprising a priming step consisting in applying a priming fluid to a glazing surface to form a priming layer intended for be in direct contact with the joint portion.
- the priming step is carried out by pad printing by placing the priming fluid on a pad. This pad is then applied to the glazing surface.
- the priming method by pad printing makes it possible to obtain a priming layer having a constant average thickness. It also improves the adhesion obtained by obtaining a priming layer in relief, thus increasing the contact surface with the joint portion and ultimately makes it possible to increase the precision of removal.
- the priming fluid uses a priming fluid containing a solvent presenting risks for the health of the operators intervening on the production means implementing the process.
- the priming fluid may contain an alcohol-based solvent, which is flammable and irritant, a solvent of the methyl ethyl ketone type, commonly called MEK, or a solvent of the toluene type, the latter two solvents being known for EHS risks (Environment, Health and Safety) that they present.
- MEK methyl ethyl ketone
- the latter two solvents being known for EHS risks (Environment, Health and Safety) that they present.
- the priming fluid is contained in a closed tank, also called an inkwell, so that the solvent does not evaporate into the ambient air of the environment surrounding the means of production.
- the closed tank has a seal, also called a ring, made of ceramic in order to ensure that it is sealed from the outside and thus does not contaminate the ambient air with the solvent contained in the fluid. priming.
- the ceramic seal by nature, has relatively large dimensions very short, and its overall length can hardly be more than 25 cm. Consequently, the closed tank also has small dimensions since it is dependent on the dimensions of the ceramic seal.
- the priming process by pad printing does not make it possible to treat a large area of glazing in a single cycle. This process can at most treat a surface having a length of 250 mm. In this case, it is necessary to perform several cycles, thus lengthening the production time.
- the present invention intends to remedy this drawback of the prior art by proposing a priming process by pad printing making it possible to treat large areas of glazing, to reduce production time and to limit EHS risks.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a method of manufacturing a glazing unit according to claim 1.
- said application face is applied indirectly to said surface of the glazing or to said surface of the seal portion and / or of the accessory, with the interposition of a woven element, that is to say with a pattern repeated on the surface and which is perforated over the entire thickness of the woven element, between said application face and a surface concerned by the application.
- a single woven element for a single pad and for a series of glazing and to provide that one (or more) part (s) of this woven element is full (s), i.e. - say not perforated over its thickness, so as not to allow the deposition of primer in this (these) part (s) when the pad is applied to the glazing.
- Said priming fluid preferably does not contain an organic-based solvent, in particular no alcohol-based or aromatic-based solvent; this solvent thus has a very low harmfulness for the surrounding medium.
- the pad comprising the priming fluid on the surface which must be provided with this fluid (surface to be primed)
- all the priming fluid provided by the pad is deposited on this surface and after this application, it there is no more priming fluid on the tampon (so to speak because it is not excluded to be able to note the presence of microdroplets) and the immediate environment is preserved.
- a priming fluid containing a solvent with very low harmfulness to the surrounding environment allows, in particular, the use of production means comprising an open tank in order to treat glazing having large dimensions. Means of production of this nature also have the capacity to process glazing of small dimensions.
- Such a priming fluid can also be used in production means comprising a closed tank. It is thus possible to use various means of production during the treatment of glazing.

- a glazing 1 such as the curved windshield of a motor vehicle illustrated in FIG. 1, is provided with a seal portion 2 formed of a plastic material during a formation or application operation of the seal portion on the glazing which will be detailed later.
- the glazing 1 is also provided with a glazing accessory 2 ′ here consisting of a plastic base to allow the fixing by clipping of an interior mirror, but this base could also be a base forming part of the mirror.
- This base could also be made of a material other than a plastic and in particular could be made of metal or a metal alloy.
- This glazing is thus intended to allow to close a bay formed in a vehicle body 7.
- Both the seal portion and the accessory must adhere respectively to at least one surface 10, 10 ′ of said glazing 1 which is not a complete face of the glazing, but a portion of the face.
- the surface 10 is located on one or on the two main faces of the glazing, that is to say on the inner face 11 and / or on the outer face 12 of the glazing, as well as possibly on the edge 13 of the glazing.
- This surface is generally, for vehicle glazing, near the peripheral edge of the glazing and often occupies the entire peripheral edge of the glazing.
- the surface 10 is located only on the edge of the internal face 11.
- the surface 10 ’ is also located on the inner face 11 of the glazing.
- the edge of the glazing is provided with an opaque layer 14 which makes it possible to mask the internal part of the joint portion from the outside view and to protect this joint portion from solar radiation and in particular from the action of ultraviolet rays. .
- this opaque layer When this opaque layer is present, it can be considered that the glazing surface to which the joint portion and / or the accessory must adhere integrates this opaque surface.
- the glazing 1 can be a monolithic glazing or a laminated glazing.
- the seal portion 2 illustrated here is a peripheral portion, formed by extrusion over the entire peripheral edge of the inner face 11 of the glazing, on the surface 10 which is itself present all along this peripheral edge.
- This portion of seal 2 has, as can be seen in more detail in Figure 9, a base 21 disposed on the inner face of the glazing, two wings 22, 23 extending towards the interior of the vehicle, these wings being intended to allow to contain a bead of glue 24 which will stick the seal against the adjacent body portion 7.
- the joint portion also has a lip 25 extending beyond the edge 13 of the glazing and coming into contact with the bodywork by turning towards the outside of the vehicle.
- the seal portion also has a wire 26 making it easier to cut the seal portion to allow the glazing to be removed from the body, in particular to change it if it is broken.
- the method of manufacturing the glazing comprises an operation of preparing the glazing before bringing said plastic material into contact with the seal portion or the accessory with said surface 10, 10 'to which this material must adhere.
- This preparation operation comprises a priming step consisting in applying a priming fluid 4 to said surface 10, 10 ’in the form of a priming layer 40, 40’.
- the priming fluid comprises a solvent with very low harmfulness to the surrounding environment.
- very low harmfulness is meant a solvent which does not present a major risk for safety, such as for example a non-flammable solvent, or for the health of the operator implementing the process.
- a water-based solvent is an example of a solvent with very low harmfulness.
- the priming fluid used has the characteristics of a surface tension of around 23 mN / m ⁇ 2 mN / m and a viscosity of around 23 mPa.s ⁇ 2 mPa.s (Brookfield viscosity at 20 ° C). The viscosity varies from 23 mPa.s to 15 mPa.s for a temperature varying from + 10 ° C to + 40 ° C.
- the layer 40 is deposited directly on the opaque layer 14.
- the priming step is carried out by pad printing, using a pad printing device 3 of the type of that illustrated in FIG. 2.
- the priming fluid 4 is temporarily placed on the application face 55 of a tampon 5 then this application face 55 of the tampon 5 is applied to said surface 10, 10 ′ which must be covered priming fluid. This allows the transfer of the priming fluid and this makes it possible to form a priming layer 40, 40 ’having a pattern.
- the device 3 is automatic, that is to say is managed by an automaton and a touch screen 30 for management and control makes it possible to program the automaton and to control its correct operation.
- This automaton optimizes the movements and the time required for each movement in order to allow the priming fluid to be deposited as quickly as possible after impregnating the buffer.
- It includes means for operating the priming and making it possible to apply a priming fluid 4 to said surface 10, 10 'to form the priming layer 40, 40' which is then in direct contact with said portion of seal 2 and / or with said accessory 2 ').
- These means consist of a pad 5 having an application face 55 and movable between an application position in which this application face 55 is in contact with said surface 10, 10 'and a recharging position in which this application face 55 is in contact with a reserve 34 of priming fluid 4.
- the contact between the buffer 5 and the priming fluid reserve 4 is an indirect contact, operated by means of a plate 6.
- the movements of the buffer 5 are carried out thanks to a set of pneumatic cylinders, or preferably thanks to a set of electric motors and transmission means in order to increase the precision of the displacements and the time necessary for these displacements, this assembly being managed and controlled by the automaton.
- the pad 5 has a lower application face 55 which has a configuration very close in two, and preferably here in three, dimensions of that of the surface 10.
- the shape of the pad and that of the glazing have been exaggerated here in order to better illustrate their resemblance.
- Either pad 5 is made entirely of antistatic silicone, or it is only its lower application surface 55 which is made of antistatic silicone.
- an antistatic silicone makes it possible to favor the temporary adhesion of the priming fluid and to avoid the formation of primary wires by a phenomenon of static electricity.
- the technique works because the priming fluid is not only water but is water based; the presence of elements other than water in the priming fluid is sufficient to allow temporary loading of the application face 55 and to allow its unloading on the surface to be primed.
- the silicone of the application face 55 is preferably a saturated silicone, that is to say a silicone without non-crosslinked particles, so that this face retains its cohesion as it is used.
- the device 3 thus comprises, in addition to the buffer 5 and mechanisms making it possible to move it between its two positions, a support 31 for accommodating the glazing 1 and a base 32 on which a strip 60 is disposed on the surface of which the plate is produced. 6.
- the strip also rests on a plate fixed to the device 3 in a removable manner, in order to be able to change the strip when the configuration of the glazing changes.
- the glazing 1 thus rests by its outer face 12 on the support 31 so that the inner face 11, exposed upwards, is free.
- the glazing 1 in this case rests by its inner face 11 on a support so that the outer face 12, exposed upwards, is free.
- the device 3 further comprises a system for cleaning the underside of the pad 5 by means of a cleaning veil 50. Regularly, the pad 5 is applied against a veil stretched between a distributor roller 51 and a receiving roller 51 'and against a bearing surface 52, in order to deposit on this veil the surplus of priming fluid 4 which is on its surface .
- Plate 6 is a relief pattern produced in a thick metallic sheet, called strip 60, this sheet being engraved by chemical etching, or laser engraving, in order to form a background and a pattern in relief relative to this background.
- the engraving can be likened to a grid, as explained below.
- the etching is carried out in hollow relative to the surface (here the upper surface) of the strip 60.
- FIGS. 4 to 8 schematically illustrate an example of different phases making it possible to carry out the priming step using the device 3.
- priming fluid 4 is placed in a reservoir 34, illustrated in FIG. 3.
- This reservoir 34 consists of a tube with circular section having a bottom bottom open in the direction of the strip 60 which receives the plate. 6 and an upper opening closed with the aid of a cover 36, in order to prevent the priming fluid from evaporating or at least that its solvent does not evaporate.
- the lower part of the reservoir 34 is provided with a circular seal 35, of the same diameter as the circular tube of the reservoir, this seal being here a ceramic seal.
- the reservoir 34 thus rests on the strip 60 by means of this seal 35.
- This seal 35 makes it possible to move the tank 34 on the surface of the strip 60, without lifting the tank and ensures a tight contact between the wall of the tank and the surface of the strip 60 during this movement.
- This movement is effected by means of a sliding system 37 which supports the reservoir 34 and which slides on horizontal rails parallel to the surface of the strip 60.
- the width of plate 6 is preferably less than the diameter of reservoir 34, but the length of plate 6 can be greater than the diameter of reservoir 34.
- the operating cycle of the device 3 can be broken down into essentially five successive phases:
- the buffer 5 is above the plate 6 soaked or coated with priming fluid 4.
- the pad 5 is lowered to the plate 6 and is pressed against the plate so that all of the priming fluid is transferred against the face of application of the pad, by capillarity, respecting the shape of the pattern of the photograph.
- the buffer 5 is raised above the plate 6 and the buffer of the application face carries all the priming fluid 4 that was present on the plate; There is no longer, or almost no more, priming fluid 4 on plate 6; during this time, the glazing 1 is deposited on the support 31.
- the buffer 5 is pressed onto the glazing 1 and 4 causes deposition priming fluid contained previously on the surface of application on the surface 10, 10 'to form the layer of priming 40, 40 '; meanwhile, the reservoir 34 is passed over the plate 6 so that the priming fluid is deposited in the etching.
- the buffer 5 is disengaged from the surface of the glazing 1 and a priming layer 40, 40 'having a pattern is present on the surface 10, 10'; There is no longer, or almost no more, priming fluid 4 on the application surface of the pad 5; the glazing 1 can be removed from the support 31.
- the glazing still has at least one other surface primer independent or the surface 10, 10 is too large relative to the size of the buffer 5, it is possible not to remove the glazing during the 5th phase repeating the cycle at least once by pressing the buffer 5 in a different place on the window 1 in the 4th stage of the next cycle.
- the first phase may be initiated, provided to remove the reservoir 34 of the plate 6.
- FIG. 7 clearly shows that, in order to carry out the cycle more quickly, the cliché 6 of priming fluid 4 is coated during the application of the pad 5 on the surface 10, 10 ′ of the glazing.
- the priming fluid thus undergoes three transfers during the priming cycle:
- the priming fluid starting to dry (in particular by evaporation of solvent) after the first transfer, when it is on plate 6, it will take the three-dimensional configuration of this plate and keep this configuration during the following two transfers.
- the layer 40, 40 ′ has a configuration substantially identical between three dimensions to that of the photograph 6 when one considers on the one hand the configuration in relief relative to the background of the photograph 6 and on the other hand the configuration in relief of the layer 40, 40 ′ with respect to the surface 10, 10 ′ of the glazing unit before said plastic material of the seal portion and the base are brought into contact with said surface 10, 10 ′ to which they must adhere.
- the cleaning of the underside of the pad 5 by means of the veil 50 is carried out for example between the 5 th phase and the 1 st phase, every five or ten cycles, in order to remove on this occasion any residue of priming fluid on the lower surface of the pad 5 before reapplying priming fluid.
- the priming fluid 4 is contained in an open reservoir 34 ’. More precisely, the open reservoir 34 ’is hollowed out and the priming fluid 4 is then directly in contact with the ambient air.
- the tank 34 ’ is not closed unlike the tank 34 of the previous embodiment.
- the open tank 34 ' replaces the closed tank 34 shown in Figures 3 to 8.
- the priming fluid 4 is brought to the plate 6 by means of a blade 39 translating from the open tank 34 'to plate 6, then returning to the open tank 34'. The blade also makes it possible to scrape off the excess priming fluid 4 when it returns to the open tank 34 ’.
- the excess priming fluid 4 is then returned to the open tank 34 ’.
- the photograph 6 is then ready for the application of the buffer 5, as visible in FIG. 19.
- a secondary blade is used, the function of which is to scrape off the excess priming fluid 4 when returning to the reservoir 34 ’.
- This secondary blade is adjustable in height in order to more precisely scrape off the excess priming fluid 4.
- the priming fluid 4 used comprises a solvent with very low harmfulness to the surrounding medium, and in particular for operators. It is a water-based solvent.
- the priming step is carried out by pad printing by applying the application face 55 of the pad 5 to:
- FIGS 20 to 23 illustrate an example of implementation of this indirect application.
- Figure 20 is equivalent to Figure 4 except that a woven element 56 is located under the application face 55 of the pad 5 while being attached to the pad 5.
- the rest of the steps illustrated in Figures 5 to 8 are not since they are identical, except that a woven element 56 is located under the application face 55 of the pad 5 while being attached to the pad 5.
- Figure 21 shows the pad 5 upside down and Figure 22 is an exploded view of the same pad.
- the woven element 56 is a fabric made for example of PTFE, polypropylene, or even copper fiber. It has a thickness of the order of 0.2 to 2.0 mm.
- the woven element 56 has a mesh (geometric shape reproduced on the surface of the woven element) which can for example be a square with a side of 2.0 mm, or a hexagon, or an octagon, or any stable geometric shape.
- the woven element 56 participates in the transfer of the priming fluid from the plate 6 towards the application face 55 of the tampon, by capillary action, then in the transfer of the priming fluid from the application face 55 to the surface 10 to be coated with primer. .
- FIG. 23 illustrates such a surface 10 of glazing 1, which is coated with a primer;
- the pad 5 is in a position to be raised after having been applied against the glazing and after having deposited therein the priming fluid.
- the joint portion 2 is formed by extruding the plastic material forming the joint on said surface 10
- said joint portion 2 is formed by encapsulation of the plastic material forming the seal on said surface 10 and that in a third variant, not shown, said seal portion 2 is applied, preformed, on said surface 10 to be bonded thereto by means of the priming layer.
- Figure 9 shows an extrusion head 80 which is moved over or above the inner face 11 of the glazing 1 according to the double arrow F.
- the plastic material passes through the conduit 81 and is extruded on the surface 10 via the slot 82.
- the bead of adhesive 24 is illustrated here because it can be co-extruded together with the plastic material of the joint portion , but in general, it is applied after extrusion, just before positioning the glazing in the bay of the bodywork 7, as illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the lip 25 does not adhere to the edge 13 of the glazing and the layer 40 is thus deposited only on the inner face 11 of the glazing 1 and more precisely on the opaque layer 14, and the extrusion is operated so that the base 21 of the joint portion is placed directly on the layer 40.
- FIG. 10 illustrates two parts of molds 91, 92 hermetically closed using a seal system 93 on the glazing 1 so as to form a mold cavity which is filled with the plastic material constituting the seal portion 2 during encapsulation.
- the layer 40 has been previously applied not only to the inner face 11, but also to the edge 13 and to the outer face 12 since the area to be primer defined by the surface 10 extends over these three faces.
- the priming step is carried out by pad printing by placing said priming fluid on a pad and then applying said pad not on the glazing but on the surface of the seal portion and / or accessory.
- This variant is compatible with the previous one because it is possible to provide for example that a first pad is applied to a surface of the glazing to prime the glazing where the glazing will be provided with a portion of seal and that a second pad is applied to a surface of an accessory in order to then provide the glazing with this accessory.
- FIG. 11 illustrates a perspective view of a pattern of a plate 6.
- This plate has the form of an openwork grid produced on the upper surface of the strip 60 and having a bottom recessed with respect to this surface.
- This grid consists of a plurality of studs 61 arranged on the bottom (not shown) set back down relative to the upper surface of the strip 60, so that the studs each have a vertical axis oriented along the axis. z from verticality and perpendicular to the horizontal background.
- These studs 61 are cylindrical and closed at their end opposite the bottom, but they could also be also tubular, open at their end opposite the bottom.
- these studs aligned for example along two perpendicular horizontal axes x and y are all of the same outside diameter and are arranged at equal distance from each other along the x axis and at equal distance b from each other along l y axis (perpendicular to the x axis and the vertical z axis), a and b here being identical numbers.
- the distance a from a plot axis to the next along the x axis is, for example, of the order of 8 mm
- the distance b from a plot axis to the next along the y axis is, for example, of the order of 8mm for studs having a constant external diameter, for example of the order of 5 mm.
- the studs do not all have the same general external dimensions and that they are not all placed at the same distance from each other.
- the studs here all have the same height h, which is of the order of 80 ⁇ m from the bottom, but it is possible to produce a grid with studs of different heights.
- the pattern of the grid illustrated in FIG. 11 can be defined as being, in top view, a circle with a diameter equal to the outside diameter of a stud, this pattern being reproduced over the entire background of the photograph at a distance a according to Tax x and at distance b according to Tax y.
- this pattern when this pattern is inscribed in a circle with a diameter of 10 mm or a square with a side equal to 10 mm, the pattern does not occupy the entire surface of this circle or respectively of this square.
- FIGS. 12 The reproduction of the pattern of the grid illustrated in FIG. 11 by means of the buffer 5 to form a priming layer 40 is illustrated in FIGS. 12 in top view and 13 in perspective view.
- This pattern consists of a stud 41 of the same diameter as the stud 61, reproduced at the same distance a according to Tax x and at the same distance b according to Tax y as the stud 61.
- the height h 'of the stud 41 is approximately half the height h of the stud 61.
- the reference 42 designates the center of the studs 41.
- the pattern of the priming layer 40 illustrated in FIGS. 12 and 13 can thus also be defined as being, when viewed from above, a circle with a diameter equal to the outside diameter of a stud, this pattern being reproduced throughout the layer 40, that is to say over the entire surface 10 of the glazing, at a distance a according to Tax x and at a distance b according to Tax y.
- this pattern when this pattern is inscribed in a circle C, visible in FIG. 12, of diameter equal to 10 mm or a square of side equal to 10 mm, the pattern does not occupy the entire surface of this circle or respectively of this square.
- there is no priming fluid either it is the layer opaque 14 if the seal portion 2 must be formed on such an opaque layer or if the seal portion 2 is applied, preformed on such an opaque layer, either it is the surface of the glazing, or the surface of the seal portion or accessory.
- FIG. 14 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the pattern of the layer 40 in which the studs are also of constant circular section over their entire height, but in which small studs 43 about 5 to 20 times finer than the studs 41 are inserted in the space available between these studs 41, the center of these small studs 43 is arranged at approximately half the distance a from the center 42 of the studs 41 along the x axis and at approximately half of the distance b from the center 42 of the studs 41 along the y axis.
- FIG. 15 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the pattern of the layer 40 of FIG. 14 in which the studs 41 are connected by bridges 44 oriented here along the x axis.
- FIG. 16 illustrates the layer 40 of FIG. 15 as can be seen with the naked eye when the joint portion 2 and the bead of glue 24 have been removed from the glazing 1 illustrated in FIG. 1 made according to the method according to the invention.
- Both the studs 41, the small studs 43 and the bridges 44 are visible. They make it possible to increase the surface of the priming layer 40, and thus the adhesion force provided by this layer. The pattern of the priming layer is therefore perfectly identifiable.
- a person skilled in the art is in particular able to vary the size and / or the number and / or the situation both of the portion (s) of seal and of the accessory (s).
