Definitions

  • the invention relates to glazing with a metallic frame and a glazing unit inserted into the frame, preferably an insulating glazing unit, the frame engaging around the edges of the glazing unit and at the same time covering at least one RFID transponder.
  • the RFID transponder can be used as an identification element.
  • the glazing is intended in particular to form facade glazing, a window, a door or an interior partition with a corresponding structure.
  • RFID transponders are used in a variety of ways to identify objects, for example solid or composite solid material panels, as is known, for example, from EP 2 230 626 A1.
  • IGU insulating glazing units
  • Such insulating glazing units represent mass-produced, dispatched and also independently traded products, which should be clearly identifiable on their way to the end product and, if necessary, also during its maintenance and repair.
  • the identifying marking should be invisible from both the inside and outside of the finished window, door or facade.
  • the marking should be "legible” from a distance of at least 30 cm.
  • the marking should be forgery-proof as far as possible, i.e. it should not be easily overwritten or copied.
  • Known insulating glazing units provided with RFID transponders are therefore not easily used in metallic frame constructions. This reduces the potential area of application of the glazing units marked in this way and thus the acceptance of the corresponding marking solutions by manufacturers and users.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object of providing improved glazing with a glazing unit and with a frame structure, the frame structure at least to a considerable extent being made of a metal, and which ensures that the above-mentioned requirements are met even in such installation situations.
  • this object is achieved by glazing with the features of claim 1.
  • Appropriate further developments of the inventive concept are the subject of the respective dependent claims.
  • the invention comprises glazing, in particular facade glazing, a window, a door or an interior partition, comprising: a frame made of a metallic first frame element, a metallic second frame element and a polymeric third frame element connecting the frame elements at least in sections and preferably completely circumferentially, and a Glazing unit arranged in the frame, in particular an insulating glazing unit, at least one RFID transponder with a dipole antenna or with a slot antenna and an operating frequency f and a corresponding vacuum wavelength lambda, the frame encompassing the end faces of the glazing unit and at the same time the RFID transponder (s) in Direction of view covered by the glazing unit, and a distance D between a center of the dipole antenna or a center of the slot antenna and a nearest corner of the glazing unit of 40% to 100% of the vacuum waves length lambda.
  • the distance D is from 60% to 100% of the vacuum wavelength lambda and in particular from 70% to 90% of the vacuum wavelength lambda.
  • the glazing ie in particular the frame and the glazing unit, are polygonal (ie with three or more corners) and in particular rectangular or square.
  • the glazing unit has two large main surfaces (front and rear) which are connected via narrow, circumferential end surfaces.
  • the corners of the glazing unit are formed by the meeting of two end faces that form an angle. The same applies to the frame comprising the glazing unit.
  • the frame encompasses, preferably in a U-shape, the end face of the glazing unit and at the same time covers the RFID transponder or transponders in the viewing direction through the glass panes.
  • the legs of the first and second frame elements are designed in such a way that, in the case of insulating glazing, they at least completely cover the outer area and the spacer frame in the viewing direction through the glazing unit.
  • the frame frames all end faces of a glazing unit, i.e. the frame is arranged completely around the glazing unit and, in particular, is self-contained.
  • the frame is designed directly around one glazing unit in each case.
  • the distance A between the end faces of the glazing unit and the inside end faces of the frame is from 0 mm to 50 mm, preferably 0.5 mm to 50 mm, particularly preferably from 1 mm to 20 mm and in particular from 3 mm to 8 mm.
  • the inside end face of the frame is the area inside the frame which is directly opposite the end face of the glazing unit.
  • the invention includes the idea of taking into account the fundamentally unfavorable radiation and irradiation conditions for radio waves in a metallic frame of glazing by means of a special coupling-out and coupling-in of the RFID signal. Unexpectedly, particularly good results were achieved when the RFID transponder or transponders were arranged in the vicinity of the corners of the glazing unit and thus in the installed state in the frame in the vicinity of the corners of the frame.
  • Distances D between the center of the dipole antenna were particularly advantageous (in the case of RFID transponders with dipole antennas) Antenna or (in the case of RFID transponders with slot antennas) between the center of the slot antenna and the next adjacent corner of the glazing unit in the range from 40% to 100% of the vacuum wavelength lambda, particularly preferably in the range from 60% to 100% of the vacuum wavelength lambda and in particular in the range from 70% to 90% of the vacuum wavelength lambda.
  • the next adjacent corner here means the closest corner, i.e. the corner with the shortest distance to the center of the dipole antenna or to the center of the slot antenna of the RFID transponder.
  • the optimal distance range depends on the vacuum wavelength lambda of the operating frequency f of the RFID transponder. If the operating frequency f of the RFID transponder is, for example, in the UHF range, for example
  • the invention arose as a result of extensive experimental investigations carried out on glazings with the above-mentioned basic structure.
  • the glazing unit according to the invention consists of or advantageously comprises a single pane, a composite pane or a fire protection glazing unit, in particular with at least one intumescent layer.
  • the glazing unit according to the invention consists or contains at least one and preferably exactly one insulating glazing unit, which comprises: at least one spacer which is circumferentially shaped to form a spacer frame and delimits an interior area, a first glass pane that is on a pane contact surface of the spacer frame and a second glass pane that is on one Second pane contact surface of the spacer frame is arranged, and the glass panes protrude beyond the spacer frame and form an outer area which is at least partially, preferably completely, filled with a sealing element.
  • At least one RFID transponder is advantageously arranged in the interior of the frame on the frame.
  • the RFID transponder is preferably arranged on an inside surface of the frame, particularly preferably on an inside end face of the frame or an inside surface of the first or second frame element, which is arranged parallel to the large surfaces of the glazing unit.
  • the RFID transponder is arranged directly on the inside surface of the frame.
  • the RFID transponder is connected to the frame either directly or only by an adhesive layer, preferably an adhesive film or a double-sided adhesive tape.
  • At least one RFID transponder is arranged on the glazing unit, preferably on an external (main) surface or on one of the end faces of the glazing unit.
  • at least one RFID transponder can be arranged in the outer area of the insulating glazing unit, ie in the area between the glass panes protruding beyond the spacer frame, preferably in the sealing element.
  • the inventors have carried out investigations in particular on glazing units embedded in metallic frames using the example of insulating glazing units in which the frame consists of two metal and therefore electrically conductive frame elements that are connected via a polymeric and electrically insulating frame element.
  • Such frames made of two metallic frame elements connected by a polymer frame element are particularly advantageous since the polymer frame element significantly reduces heat transfer from the first frame element to the second frame element and thus, for example, from an exterior side to an interior side.
  • Elastomer profiles, which seal the glazing and fix the glass panes are arranged between the outside of the glass panes and the inside of the adjacent metallic frame elements.
  • the RFID transponder is designed as a dipole antenna.

  • the dipole antenna contains or consists of at least a first antenna pole and a second antenna pole.
  • the antenna poles are preferably arranged continuously in a line one behind the other and thus parallel to one another.
  • RFID electronics or a connection to RFID electronics are usually arranged in the middle between the antenna poles.
  • the radio wavelengths used in such RFID transponder systems are usually in the UHF range of 865-869 MHz (including European frequencies) or 902-928 MHz (US and other frequency bands), depending on the type.

  • the dipole antennas including electronics per se can be arranged on a dielectric and, for example, polymeric carrier layer, which significantly simplifies assembly and prefabrication.
  • the RFID transponder is designed as a slot antenna.
  • Slot antennas also have an elongated design.
  • the E-field typically runs perpendicular to the direction in which the slot antenna extends. This means that the E-field of the slot antenna runs orthogonally to the E-field of a dipole antenna. The same applies to the H fields.
  • an RFID transponder according to the invention with a slot antenna is arranged in a glazing according to the invention in the usual and, for geometric reasons, the only possible orientation (i.e. with the direction of extent parallel to the adjacent frame or spacer), the emitted E-field in the near field area is orthogonal to the direction of extent of Frame or spacer.
  • the E-field is only slightly absorbed or attenuated. Therefore, the E-field radiated by the slot antenna can exit the cavity (which is formed by the facade frame and spacer) much more easily and the RFID transponder according to the invention can be read from a greater distance.
  • RFID electronics are galvanically connected or electromagnetically coupled to a slot antenna.
  • Electromagnetically coupled means in the context of the present invention that two components are coupled by an electromagnetic field, ie are connected both capacitively and inductively and preferably not galvanically. Consequently, electromagnetically coupled here means that the slot antenna and the RFID transponder are coupled by an electromagnetic field, ie are connected both capacitively and inductively and preferably not galvanically.
