Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for cutting laminated glass used for automobiles, houses, various glazing applications and the like. Laminated glass made by joining a plurality of glass plates with resin sheets, films or adhesives reinforces the weak points of a single glass plate, and is also new to conventional glass plates. It is known as a composite material having various functions and is suitably used as various glazing materials for automobiles such as windshields and houses. To cut an ordinary glass veneer, it is common to use a diamond glass cutter or an oil cutter described in "Diamond Tool" (Nikkei Technical Book, 1987, p. 612), but this method is the only method. Then, it is not possible to cut the laminated glass sandwiching the intermediate layer. Therefore, when cutting these laminated glasses into a size suitable for use, it is general to use a device having a rotary blade using a diamond grindstone and a sample feed base to cut. Further, JP-A-60-180942 discloses a method of using a high-pressure water jet for cutting a sheet of plastic material for laminated glazing. [0004] However, cutting with a device using a diamond grindstone often causes chipping or cracking in the glass plate at the cut portion, so that a glass plate having a good appearance should be used. The cutting out is not only labor-intensive, but also extremely difficult and has been a factor that greatly reduces the product yield. In addition, JP-A-60-180942
In the method using a water jet as described in Japanese Patent Publication, contact between the intermediate resin layer and the water between the glass plates is unavoidable, which may reduce the adhesive strength between the intermediate resin layer and the glass plate. However, there is a problem that the intermediate resin layer is whitened due to the infiltration of water. Therefore, a cutting method is provided in which the cut surface is beautiful and peeling of the glass from the intermediate resin layer at the cut portion or deterioration of the intermediate resin layer does not occur. That is, the present invention is a method for cutting a laminated glass in which both surface glass plates are cut, and then the intermediate resin layer is cut. In the present invention, the laminated glass to be cut refers to one in which two glass plates are laminated with an intermediate resin layer interposed therebetween, and the type and thickness of the glass plates, the composition and thickness composition of the intermediate layer. Is a well-known commercially available product according to the application and is not particularly limited. First, as a method for cutting both surface glass plates, a method generally used for cutting a normal glass single plate can be applied. In other words, this is a method in which a general glass cutting machine having a tip made of a material harder than glass such as diamond is used to make cutting lines on both surface glass plates, and then stress is applied to the cutting. As a method of inserting a cutting line, the glass cutting may be manually moved along a cutting line, but an appropriate jig or device may be used to perform the cutting efficiently and accurately, or these devices may be used. The operation of can also be computer controlled. Subsequently, as a method of applying stress to the cut line portion, for example, a method of applying bending stress or tensile stress, a method of applying thermal stress by rapid cooling or rapid heating, and the like can be mentioned. The magnitude of stress may be appropriately selected depending on the type and thickness of the glass plate, the thickness and properties of the intermediate resin layer, and the like. The order of cutting the front and back glass plates is as follows:
The same operation may be performed on the other surface after making a cut on one surface and then applying stress to it, or making a cut on both surfaces and then applying stress to both surfaces to make glass plates on both sides. May be cut. The cutting of the intermediate resin layer is carried out by bringing a cutting blade into contact with the intermediate resin layer through the gap of the cut glass and then moving the blade along the gap of the glass. For that purpose, in order that the cutting blade can reach the intermediate resin layer in advance,
Widen the gap between the cut lines on the surface glass plate. In order to widen the gap between the cutting lines of the surface glass plate, bending stress or tensile stress is applied to both sides of the cutting line. When applying bending stress, the load is applied so that the cutting line of the other glass serves as a fulcrum. It is general to use a weight as the load or to suppress it by using human power or power, but the weight of the laminated glass to be cut may be used. When using a tensile stress, any method may be used as long as both ends of the laminated glass plate are sandwiched and pulled, and it is preferable to apply the tensile stress uniformly. In both cases of bending stress and tensile stress,
It suffices to open a gap into which the cutting blade can be inserted in the gap between the glass cutting lines, and it is not necessary to widen it too much. If it is spread too much, the intermediate resin layer is elongated, and the glass plate and the intermediate resin layer are misaligned at the cut portion and peel off, which is not preferable. When the hardness of the intermediate resin layer is high, a large stress is required to form a gap in the cutting line portion, and the laminated glass itself may be damaged. Therefore, it is desirable to heat and soften the intermediate resin layer in the cutting line portion. As the temperature for heating the intermediate resin layer, if it is too high, the intermediate resin layer is thermally deteriorated or the adhesiveness between the intermediate resin layer and the glass plate is deteriorated. It is sufficient if it is possible, and it may be appropriately selected from the materials of the intermediate resin layer. The standard is 10 ° C. or higher, which is the glass transition temperature of the intermediate resin layer. This heating is also effective for cutting the intermediate resin layer described later. As an example of a method for heating the intermediate resin layer,
A method using a nichrome wire or a ribbon heater, a method of heating with a gas burner, a method of using a high frequency, a method of using an ultrasonic wave, a method of using a laser beam and the like can be mentioned, but the method is not limited to this and is known. Any of the above heating methods can be used. The cutting of the intermediate resin layer includes a method of bringing a cutting blade into contact with the intermediate resin layer and a non-contact method using laser light. When a cutting blade is used, it is moved by moving the cutting blade in contact with the intermediate resin layer along the cut line of the glass, that is, the gap. As a blade for cutting the intermediate resin layer, it is convenient and common to use a sharp metal blade, but there are various known tools, methods, and devices capable of cutting general resin films and sheets. Can be used. For example, a method using a straight blade, a rotary blade, a vibrating blade, or the like can be mentioned. According to the present invention, it becomes possible to cut a laminated glass, which has been thought to be difficult in the past, easily and with good appearance at a high yield. EXAMPLES The present invention will be described below with reference to examples.
The present invention is not limited to this. Example 1 As a sample for cutting, a Lami Safe Guard having a size of 30 cm × 30 cm (made by Asahi Glass Co., Ltd., laminated glass having a structure in which glass 3 mm, intermediate resin layer 0.58 mm and glass 3 mm are sequentially laminated) is used. I was there. The glass transition temperature of the intermediate resin layer of the laminated glass used is −30 ° C. In the same manner as in the case of cutting a normal glass veneer, the surface glass was manually scored using a diamond glass cutter. Then, the laminated glass was placed so that the score line of the laminated glass coincided with the end of the experimental table. Then, the glass plate on the surface was cut by manually pressing both sides of the cut line from above. Next, the laminated glass was turned upside down, and the same portion corresponding to the glass on the back surface was similarly cut. The upper and lower parts of the cut part of the glass plate were wrapped with a ribbon heater of 100 V, and the ribbon heater was energized and heated. After heating for 2 minutes, the temperature of the intermediate resin layer was 40 ° C.
And had sufficient flexibility. The ribbon heater was removed, and the cut portion of the laminated glass was moved so as to coincide with the end of the laboratory table. Both sides of the cut portion of the glass were gently pressed by hand to form a gap having a width of about 1 mm on the surface side of the glass plate at the cut portion. A cutter knife was inserted into the gap at the front end of the glass and moved to the front to cut the intermediate resin layer, whereby the laminated glass could be cut. The laminated glass after cutting had no peeling or whitening around the cut portion, and the end face was also very beautiful. Example 2 As a sample for cutting, a laminated glass having a size of 30 cm × 30 cm and having a structure in which 2 mm of glass, 2 mm of intermediate resin layer and 2 mm of glass were sequentially laminated was used. The glass transition temperature of the intermediate resin layer of the laminated glass used is −10 ° C. The laminated glass was cut in the same procedure as in Example 1 except that the above laminated glass was used and the heating temperature was 60 ° C. The laminated glass after cutting did not show any peeling or whitening around the cut portion and had a very beautiful end face. Comparative Example 1 A diamond cutter (Malteau Co., Ltd.) was used to cut the laminated glass described in Example 1 as a sample. The laminated glass after cutting had a large number of cracks around the cut portion and had a poor appearance.
