Preface
With the continuous development and progress of industrial technology, in order to adapt to the continuous changes in the middle layer of the glass, the pursuit of higher energy efficiency, laminated glass production process has also developed, vacuum lamination and rapid fusion of RF laminating manufacturing technology is also emerging come out.
The Development of Laminated Glass
The main composition of the laminated glass is through the autoclave, intermittent or continuous vacuum lamination, and on-site casting and rapid fusion of RF laminating technology to complete. Laminated glass change the traditional glass and crisp and hard features, widely used in the car windshield glass, transparent windows, business hall and other isolation intermittent. Laminated glass to avoid the traditional glass in the case of broken pieces of injury, the occurrence of cuts on the incident. The middle of the glass interlayer, can make the glass in the case of damage to the polymerization of glass fragments, thereby reducing the glass fragments of the human body damage. This laminated glass can also be used as an attack against shocks and penetrants. Which has the characteristics of safety, sound insulation and solar energy control. So there are green product features.
Laminated glass in the early, mainly the use of nitrocellulose and cellulose acetate as a sandwich. Since 1938, the laminated glass was used by DUPONT for automotive windshields, and it was only a large number of applications, but also opened the laminated glass industry prelude. Since the invention, the development of 2009, China's laminated glass production has been as high as 42 million square meters.
Manufacture of laminated glass
PVB in the use of laminated glass wider, which is the first application in the industrial glass interlayer resin. Glass sandwich manufacturing process, autoclave lamination work, is the manufacture of this layer of the process, which is laminated glass manufacturing process in the key parts. The application of this material, until today in the industry which still occupy an important position. Laminated glass manufacturing process are: pvb film selection, preservation, film room environment, glass cleanliness, film mode, preheating pre-pressure, high pressure kettle glass operation technology.
In these production process, the process of laminated glass, the film technology, glass preheating pre-pressure process, the operation of the glass in the autoclave these several production process, is the production process more difficult process, this Several aspects of the analysis and research, is to ensure that the quality of laminated glass key link. So this part of the production process in-depth discussion.
1, with the film operation process
When the glass is operated on the sheet, first select the PVB film suitable for the width of the glass, and keep the film clean, avoid direct contact with the film and glass, the PVB film naturally flat, do not stretch, align the glass inside and outside You can see whether the reserved signs coincide, and then cut off the excess film, in the cutting operation, to keep the blade tilt, in the edge of the film set aside 0.5mm ~ 2mm film, in order to To avoid film shrinkage caused by shrinkage phenomenon. After the film and glass sheet, set the vacuum rubber band, and check the seal, in the glass by the tension to be evenly, and then the cold glass to make the middle of the film to remove the air clean, and cold pumping time should not be low At 5min.
2, glass preheating preloading process
Glass folder good PVB film, after taking the air, the co-glass preheating pre-pressure operation. There are three types of preheating preloading equipment, one is preheating preload box, because of its simple equipment and small investment, low energy consumption, so many manufacturers are favored. However, the shortcomings of preheating the preload box is inefficient and can not adapt to the industrial production. The transmission type vertical and horizontal preheating pre-presses are more efficient in production and are suitable for large-scale production. The difference between the two is to put the glass to complete the preheating pre-pressure work, the glass placed in a way, one is put, one is flat. The vertical preheating pre-press has little effect on the curvature of the glass when the air is evacuated to the glass. The horizontal preheating hot press on the glass for air evacuation operation, because the glass flat, in its own gravity and vacuum pressure under the influence of the glass curvature of the impact. So the horizontal preheating pre-press in the production of large-scale glass is more appropriate.
3, glass in the autoclave operation process
The production process in the autoclave is the last step in the production of laminated glass. After preheating the preheating of the glass, in order to make PVB film and glass sheet better bonded together, but also through the constant temperature and high pressure treatment, can be used. The constant temperature and high pressure treatment is to be carried out in the autoclave. First, the semi-finished products of the laminated glass, which are bonded together, are isolated and placed on the special platform of the autoclave, and then firmly closed, Kettle pressurized inflatable, when the kettle pressure reached about 0.75MPa, stop the kettle inflated. This is due to the fact that the edges of the laminated glass are not bonded firmly, so that the space in the middle of the glass interlayer overflows under pressure without causing air to enter the interlayer from the edge. When the temperature inside the kettle reaches about 130 ° C, the heating is stopped immediately and the temperature is maintained. At this point the laminated glass has been able to bond, the secondary pressure inside the kettle, the glass has reached the bonding temperature, so the pressure will not make air into the sandwich, to be pressure to 1.2MPa, stop pressing And maintain the pressure balance, continued after 1h ~ 1.5h later, to reduce the temperature inside the kettle to 50 ℃, the beginning of the tank exhaust pressure, until the air is completely discharged, open the door to launch glass. Laminated glass production at this point, as well as finishing work, that is, on a glass-by-piece inspection, for qualified products, pruning. Cut off the surrounding film; on the bubble and degumming of the glass were selected to repair, re-into the reactor pressurized heating.
With the continuous improvement of production technology, most of the autoclave has the function of automatic control, in practice, according to the characteristics of laminated glass and the actual situation, processing.
The quality of glass after the film often appear
As the laminated glass is for the glass sheet for multi-layer vacuum hot pressing to complete the production process, so after the glass sheet, there will be the phenomenon of burst, there are poor glass curvature of the situation, there are edges mixed bubbles, crimping or Mixed with inclusions and other phenomena. These phenomena have seriously affected the quality of laminated glass. The reasons for the formation of these bursts are such that there are several:
1, after the glass molding, the middle of the laminated glass layer, due to the role of internal stress, resulting in glass blew;
2, the glass intermediate adhesive layer of the internal stress, mainly due to the outer glass and glass in the film, the curvature of the placement does not match, resulting in two pieces of glass in the process of forming a mezzanine problem caused by blew;
3, glass in the hot bending process, if the cooling rate too fast, will make the glass gradient caused by new stress, resulting in self-exposure;
4, if the autoclave cooling too fast will cause the phenomenon of glass burst;
5, the glass after the hot bending molding, then in order to promote the glass forming and increase the external force, glass stress uneven glass will also produce a burst;
6, in the glass into the autoclave, if the glass directly contact with metal, or the edge of the clip is too large, are easy to make glass burst;
7, after the film burst the phenomenon of glass, in the installation of the external force under the action will occur. For example, the curvature of the glass does not match the curvature of the mounting position, so that the glass is subjected to external force during installation, and bursting may occur after a period of use.
Prevention of Sandwich Glass Exposure Measures and Energy Efficiency Analysis
In order to effectively prevent the phenomenon of self-exposure of laminated glass, and from the energy efficiency point of view, to prevent the phenomenon of sandwich glass self-exposure, and the timely existence of bubbles and air glass recycling, that can save resources and reduce costs Expenditure maximizes energy efficiency. In the prevention of the phenomenon of self-exposure of laminated glass, from the following aspects to improve:
1, radian does not match:
It is recommended that the outer glass be marked with a marker pen in the area corresponding to the outer sheet after the bobbin, so that the markings of the two pieces of glass are different. In the process of the glass sheet to refer to this mark with the film, to avoid the phenomenon of glass caused by blew phenomenon.
2, edge degumming phenomenon:
In the process of packaging and transportation of glass, to use plastic sheeting, the use of special laminated glass edge to prevent the phenomenon of plastic lesions, which prevent the degumming caused by the better effect of exposure.
3, glue bubble phenomenon:
First of all, pay attention to custody film, Kaifeng film for 24 hours to control the temperature and humidity, the temperature is stored at 18 ℃ -25 ℃, the temperature is maintained at about 20% -30% is appropriate.
Conclusion
Laminated glass production process, mainly through the pressure to the PVB film folder to the middle of the glass, play to avoid the glass fragments wounding, reinforcement and prevent attacks and so on. This kind of laminated glass is initially used in the windshield of the automobile. With the continuous progress of the manufacturing process, the use of the laminated glass is becoming more and more extensive, and its production process is also improving. Preloading preheating machine development, so that the preheating of laminated glass pre-pressure process has been further improved, the industrialization of the road continue to develop. This is the application of laminated glass has brought a broad space for development, due to the large consumption of laminated glass energy characteristics, so in the production, in the refinement, in the processing process prone to self-exposure phenomenon, to strictly control, and the generation of bubbles or Quality, but off the product of the implementation of recycling, in order to facilitate resource conservation, so that energy efficiency to maximize.
