Di domanda di brevetto per Invenzione Industriale avente per titolo: Of patent application for Industrial Invention entitled:
?VETRO TRASPARENTE AD EFFETTO FOTOCROMATICO? ?TRANSPARENT GLASS WITH PHOTOCHROMIC EFFECT?
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
SCOPO PURPOSE
La presente invenzione si riferisce ad un vetro trasparente ad effetto fotocromatico, dove con il termine ?effetto fotocromatico? si intende la variazione di oscurazione del vetro (l'esempio pi? comune ? quello delle lenti degli occhiali); normalmente, il colore varia a seconda dell'incidenza della luce sulla lente, pi? intensa ? la luce maggiore sar? l'oscurazione del vetro. Il motivo risiede nel cambiamento della configurazione elettronica esterna, in seguito a un processo fotochimico, della sostanza posta all'interno del vetro. The present invention refers to a transparent glass with a photochromic effect, where the term ?photochromic effect? refers to the variation in the darkening of the glass (the most common example is that of eyeglass lenses); normally, the color varies depending on the incidence of light on the lens, pi? intense ? the greater light will be the darkening of the glass. The reason lies in the change of the external electronic configuration, following a photochemical process, of the substance placed inside the glass.
DESCRIZIONE DESCRIPTION
A differenza dei sistemi noti e classici, l?oscuramento del vetro fotocromatico della presente invenzione pu? avvenire manualmente. Unlike the known and classic systems, the dimming of the photochromic glass of the present invention can be done manually.
Il vetro fotocromatico costruito nel seguente modo sar? in grado di cambiare/modificare il suo grado di oscuramento (trasparente-scuro-opaco) a seconda dell?energia elettrica ceduta da una batteria ad esso collegata. The photochromic glass built in the following way will be? able to change/modify its degree of darkening (transparent-dark-opaque) according to the electrical energy released by a battery connected to it.
Infatti, alla fine del trattamento, si ottiene un vetro fotocromatico tale per cui la reazione chimica che ne permette l?oscurazione e lo schiarimento viene regolato elettricamente attraverso una batteria ad esso collegabile, e non pi? attraverso la luce solare e alle radiazioni UV. In fact, at the end of the treatment, a photochromic glass is obtained such that the chemical reaction that allows darkening and lightening is electrically regulated through a battery that can be connected to it, and no longer? through sunlight and UV radiation.
In maggior dettaglio, alla miscela base del vetro fotocromatico sono aggiunti due sali: In greater detail, two salts are added to the basic mixture of the photochromic glass:
- Un primo sale a base di argento (nel caso specifico alogenuri) che funge da componente che permette l?oscurazione, - A silver-based first salt (in this specific case halides) which acts as a component that allows darkening,
- Un secondo sale a base di rame che serve a riportare nelle condizioni iniziali l?argento metallico formato a seguito di stimolazione in forma ionica. - A second copper-based salt which serves to restore the initial conditions of the metallic silver formed following stimulation in ionic form.
Per ci? che attiene alle reazioni vetro-batteria ad essa collegata, le reazioni principali sono le seguenti tre: For what? which pertains to the glass-battery reactions connected to it, the main reactions are the following three:
1. AgCl ? Ag Cl 1. AgCl ? AgCl
2. Cu<+ >+ Cl ? Cu<+2 >+ Cl- 2. Cu<+ >+ Cl ? Cu<+2 >+ Cl-
3. Cu<2+ >+ Ag ? Cu<+ >+ Ag<+>3. Cu<2+ >+ Ag ? Cu<+ >+ Ag<+>
La prima reazione (AgCl ? Ag Cl) ? quella che avviene quando il cloruro di argento viene stimolato dalla batteria una volta che ? collegata al vetro oggetto della invenzione; in altri termini, con la prima reazione si ha una ossidoriduzione in cui viene liberato argento metallico nel vetro che causa una diminuzione di trasmittanza (luce passante) nel vetro. The first reaction (AgCl ? AgCl) ? what happens when the silver chloride is stimulated by the battery once it ? connected to the glass object of the invention; in other words, with the first reaction there is an oxidation-reduction in which metallic silver is released in the glass which causes a decrease in transmittance (passing light) in the glass.
La seconda reazione (Cu<+ >+ Cl ? Cu<+2 >+ Cl-) non permette al cloro di riaggregarsi sotto forma di cloro gassoso e quindi risultare sempre in forma ionica, per riformare il sale quando l?argento non pi? esposto a una fonte di energia torna in forma ionica. The second reaction (Cu<+ >+ Cl ? Cu<+2 >+ Cl-) does not allow the chlorine to re-aggregate in the form of gaseous chlorine and therefore always result in the ionic form, to reform the salt when the silver is no longer? exposed to an energy source it reverts to ionic form.
La terza reazione (Cu<2+ >+ Ag ? Cu<+ >+ Ag<+>) va a riformare gli ioni di partenza cio? argento allo stato di ossidazione 1 e rame allo stato di ossidazione 1. The third reaction (Cu<2+ >+ Ag ? Cu<+ >+ Ag<+>) reforms the starting ions, that is? silver in oxidation state 1 and copper in oxidation state 1.
Tutto quanto sopra descritto avviene nel vetro oggetto della invenzione tramite l'aggiunta di sali di argento e rame. All of the above described takes place in the glass object of the invention through the addition of silver and copper salts.
Secondo un ulteriore aspetto vantaggioso dell?invenzione, il vetro fotocromatico pu? comprendere almeno uno strato di protezione dai raggi UV. According to a further advantageous aspect of the invention, the photochromic glass can include at least one layer of UV protection.
Preferibilmente detto strato di protezione dai raggi UV ? in materiale plastico. Preferably said UV protection layer ? in plastic material.
Grazie a detto strato di protezione, si evitano oscurazioni indesiderate. Thanks to said layer of protection, unwanted darkenings are avoided.
Secondo un ulteriore aspetto vantaggioso dell?invenzione, il vetro fotocromatico pu? comprendere ulteriormente almeno uno strato a base di litio con un catodo e un anodo, al fine di trasmettere la corrente con un consumo di circa 6,0 Wfm<2 >(per la massima oscurazione) da una batteria collegata ai due elettrodi e permettere la migrazione dei cationi e degli anioni. According to a further advantageous aspect of the invention, the photochromic glass can further comprise at least one lithium-based layer with a cathode and an anode, in order to transmit the current with a consumption of about 6.0 Wfm<2 >(for maximum darkening) from a battery connected to the two electrodes and allow the migration of cations and anions.
Descrizione di un esempio di realizzazione Description of an example of implementation
Vengono ora descritte le caratteristiche funzionali e strutturali di una forma di realizzazione preferita, secondo l?invenzione, dove la figura 1 , in accordo con tutti gli aspetti sopra indicati, illustra un vetro 1 a pi? strati, preferibilmente con uno spessore massimo di 4,0 cm, in cui all?esterno ci sono due lastre di vetro temprato, indicate con il riferimento 2, e in ordine dalla parte pi? interna un strato fotocromatico 3 a base di sali di argento e rame, seguita verso l?esterno da uno strato elettro-trasmittente 4 per permettere il passaggio di corrente su tutto il vetro, seguito poi da uno strato di protezione ai raggi UV 5 in materiale plastico. The functional and structural characteristics of a preferred embodiment, according to the invention, are now described, wherein figure 1 , in accordance with all the aspects indicated above, illustrates a glass 1 with pi? layers, preferably with a maximum thickness of 4.0 cm, in which on the outside there are two plates of tempered glass, indicated with the reference 2, and in order from the most? inside a photochromic layer 3 based on silver and copper salts, followed towards the outside by an electro-transmitting layer 4 to allow the passage of current over the whole glass, followed by a layer of protection against UV rays 5 in material plastic.
Si precisa che la batteria ? configurata per far iniziare, in condizioni di esercizio, la reazione in cui l?argento passa da stato di ossidazione 1 a stato di ossidazione 0; la batteria rilasciando corrente continua non permette nemmeno l?inizio della reazione di ossidoriduzione del rame, risultando cos? in un?oscurazione continua per quanto desiderato. It is specified that the battery? configured to initiate, under operating conditions, the reaction in which the silver passes from oxidation state 1 to oxidation state 0; the battery releasing direct current does not even allow the?beginning of the redox reaction of the copper, thus resulting? in a continuous darkening as desired.
