Description
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a composite element, in particular a composite element for an insulating glass pane, an insulating glass pane, a profile element, a window, a door and a method for manufacturing a composite element or an insulating glass pane. State of the art
[0002] Insulating glass panes are already known from the state of the art.
[0003] Multiple-pane insulating glass (MIG), also known as thermal insulation glazing or insulating glass, is a building component composed of at least two panes of glass, used, for example, in windows. Between the panes is a cavity that is airtight and serves as thermal insulation. Its predecessors included double glazing without an air seal, the so-called composite window, and double single glazing in box windows or winter windows.
[0004] Insulating glazing, unlike other types of thermal insulation glazing, is a self-contained system that does not require a surrounding frame – usually a window sash – to function properly. This is achieved by means of an edge seal that holds the individual panes of glass together at a distance and simultaneously hermetically seals the space between the panes. For many years now, this space has not contained air, but rather, for example, the better insulating noble gas argon.
[0005] To minimize heat conduction in an insulating glass unit, the space between the panes can be increased. However, since gases transfer heat not only through conduction but also through convection as their volume increases, the thermal insulation decreases again due to the trapped gas beyond a certain distance between the panes. To prevent this, a third pane of glass is typically installed within the insulating glass unit.
[0006] The edge seal has the task of mechanically holding the glass panes together at a distance and preventing the gas filling from escaping and allowing ambient air and humidity to penetrate instead.
[0007] At the beginning of the technical development of double-glazed insulating glass, a metallic spacer was soldered between the two panes. Another method was to melt and simultaneously bend the edge of the glass to weld the individual panes together.
[0008] For decades, however, a two-stage bonded edge seal has been standard practice. A 10 to 20 mm wide profile made of aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic—the so-called spacer—is coated on both sides with an adhesive layer of butyl rubber. It bonds the panes together after being pressed firmly together and simultaneously forms the first sealing layer. For example, DE 102 11 940 A1 describes a door leaf made of two glass panes, in which the panes are connected by a profile positioned at their edges. A butyl material is used between the profile and each pane as an adhesive and vapor barrier layer, intended to protect the interior of the door leaf from moisture penetrating from the outside.
[0009] After the space between the panes is filled with gas, the gap between the perimeter of the spacer and the protruding glass edges is sealed with a second permanently elastic sealing layer made of polyurethane or special polysulfides. For facade elements exposed to UV light at this point, silicone is used, although it is more gas-permeable. An example of the use of polysulfide or silicone sealants can be found in EP 0 852 280 A1, which deals with spacers for multiple-pane insulating glass units. The spacers described therein are characterized by a metal foil applied to the entire bonding surface facing away from the glazing cavity.
[0010] The edge seal only guarantees the functionality of the insulating glass unit for a limited period, as gas diffusion through a bonded edge seal cannot be completely prevented. This results in a continuous deterioration of the thermal insulation value due to the escaping gas – the target is a maximum gas loss of 1% per year – and allows ambient air and humidity to penetrate. Literature cites a service life of 20 to 30 years. To prevent the penetrating moisture from condensing in the space between the panes, a desiccant from the silica gel or molecular sieve (zeolite) material family is incorporated into the spacer, as described, for example, in EP 0 228 641 A2. Once the desiccant is depleted, the inner surface of the pane fogs up. This is referred to as a "fogged pane."
[0011] The edge seal reduces the thermal insulation of an insulating glass unit. The heat transfer coefficient for insulating glass is given as the Ug value (g = glazing) and does not take the effects of the edge seal into account. A double-glazed insulating glass unit measuring 1 m × 1 m with a conventional aluminum spacer (psi value: 0.068 W / m•K) and a Ug value of 1.2 W / m²K would have a U-value of: 1.2 W / m²K + (4 m × 0.068 W / m•K) = 1.5 W / m²K if the effect of the edge seal were included.
[0012] The reduced thermal insulation value at the edge of the pane leads to the formation of condensation on the inner edge of the pane at low outside temperatures. (Since older window units often have high permeability through the joints, the condensation is dried by penetrating cold air and is then not noticeable.) By using a thermally improved edge seal – the so-called warm edge with Psi values of 0.03 W / m•K to 0.05 W / m•K – condensation only occurs at lower outside temperatures, depending on the Psi value and the room humidity.
[0013] However, the well-known insulating glass units with the aforementioned two-stage bonded edge seal present the problem that these constructions are comparatively complex and robust in terms of the loads that occur, such as the thermal expansion of the glass and the spacer, the weight of the glass itself, and traffic loads like wind pressure, suction, and operating forces. These constructions are complex and expensive to manufacture and, due to the relatively robust edge seals, have an additional weight, which places further demands on the fastening system, especially in large-area insulating glass units. For aesthetic reasons, however, slimmer, more delicate insulating glass constructions with smaller and less conspicuous edge seals would often be desirable.
[0014] To solve this problem, new bonding solutions have been developed. For example, WO 2014 / 184256 A1 discloses a significantly improved composite element for insulating glass units that is particularly shear-resistant, yet lightweight, stable, and cost-effective. This is achieved, among other things, through the use of two-component (meth)acrylate adhesives as structural adhesives for bonding the glass units to the frame elements. SikaFast®<-5211 is recommended as a particularly suitable adhesive of this type. By using such adhesives with a high shear modulus and high strength, a particularly stable composite element can be produced that can be used without additional stiffening elements, such as the frame profiles with large cross-sections that are usually required. This allows for the production of lighter, slimmer, and more aesthetically pleasing composite elements, for example, for large-area glazing in buildings.
[0015] However, it has become apparent that the solution revealed in WO 2014 / 184256 A1, despite the significant improvements, still has certain disadvantages.
[0016] It is therefore the object of the present invention to advantageously further develop a composite element, in particular a composite element for an insulating glass unit, an insulating glass unit, a profile element, a window, a door, and a method for manufacturing a composite element or an insulating glass unit, in particular in such a way that an insulating glass unit can be provided which is particularly shear-resistant, but at the same time light, stable and more cost-effective due to material savings than most conventional insulating glass units, and which additionally has improved gas and moisture tightness compared to the prior art as taught, for example, in WO 2014 / 184256 A1. Description of the invention
[0017] This problem is solved according to the invention by a composite element with the features of claim 1. It is provided that a composite element, in particular a composite element for an insulating glass unit, comprises at least a first pane element, at least a second pane element, and a space formed between the first pane element and the second pane element, as well as at least one profile element, wherein the profile element has an outer surface facing away from the space between the panes and an inner surface facing the space between the panes, and wherein the profile element has at least a first connecting surface and at least a second connecting surface, wherein a first connecting means is provided on the first and on the second connecting surface, and wherein the profile element has a third connecting surface adjacent to the first connecting surface, on which a second connecting means is provided.and adjacent to the second bonding surface, a fourth bonding surface on which a third bonding agent is provided, and wherein the first pane element and the second pane element are connected, in particular in a shear-resistant manner, by means of the profile element and the first bonding agent, the second bonding agent, and the third bonding agent, wherein the first bonding agent is a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive, characterized in that a barrier film is provided which is attached to the profile element and extends between the second bonding agent and the third bonding agent such that a first film edge of the barrier film is received on or in the second bonding agent and a second film edge of the barrier film is received on or in the third bonding agent, and thus the barrier film is formed and arranged to seal the space between the panes against gas loss.
[0018] The composite element can, in particular, be a composite element for an insulating glass unit. The profile element can, for example, be the spacer of an insulating glass unit.
[0019] This results in the particular advantage that a composite element comprising at least one first and at least one second pane element, which can be used, for example, in conjunction with insulating glass panes for windows or doors, can be provided in a particularly shear-resistant, but at the same time lightweight, stable and more cost-effective manner due to the material savings, and is also gas- and moisture-tight.
[0020] The composite element according to the invention, due to its advantageous mechanical properties, can be used without or with significantly reduced additional stiffening measures, such as metal stiffeners in the window frame. This allows for narrower frames and larger glazing units, which increases light transmission through the larger possible glazing area, reduces the known heat loss through metal stiffeners, and expands design freedom in the manufacture of insulating glass units. Furthermore, manufacturing requires fewer steps, conserving resources, saving costs, and simplifying efficient, automated production.
[0021] The first and second pane elements can be, for example, glass panes or plastic panes.
[0022] Since insulating glass units, comprising at least one first pane and at least one second pane, are typically filled with a noble gas, usually argon, it is essential to prevent these noble gases from escaping the space between the panes over the unit's service life. The noble gas improves the insulating effect of the insulating glass unit. Gas loss leads to reduced insulation performance. To reduce gas loss, a barrier film is used, as proposed. This barrier film is attached to the profile element in such a way that it seals the space between the panes as completely as possible, up to the second or third bonding agent, preventing gas loss. Sealing the space between the panes is also necessary with shear-resistant bonding. This is because, due to the shear-resistant bonding, it may be necessary to optimize the geometry of the profile element to increase the rigidity of the insulating glass unit.The arrangement of the barrier film and the second and third bonding agents must be taken into account to ensure gas tightness even with the shear-resistant solution. The gas tightness of insulating glass units is regulated in DIN EN 1279-3.
[0023] In the opposite direction to gas loss from the space between the panes, the sealing system formed by the second and third bonding agents and the barrier film prevents moisture from penetrating the space between the panes. Penetrating moisture would cause the surfaces of the first or second pane facing the space between the panes to become wet with condensation. The penetrating water damages the glass surface and its coating. Besides the visible formation of droplets, this leads to a so-called "clouding" of the pane, whereby the moisture penetrating the space between the panes causes the pane to become milky and cloudy.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment, this process can be delayed by introducing a desiccant located in the space between the panes. However, once the desiccant reaches its saturation point, condensation forms, leading to the aforementioned clouding of the insulating glass unit. In a preferred embodiment, the desiccant can be contained within or by the profile element. The profile element is sealed to the ambient air by the barrier film but open to the space between the panes, allowing moisture in the space between the panes to be absorbed by the desiccant contained within the profile element.
[0025] The second and third bonding agent, which preferably is at least partially polyisobutylene (PIB) and / or comprises, seals the gap between the disc elements and the barrier film or the gap between the disc elements and the profile element against penetrating moisture.
[0026] The moisture tightness of insulating glass units is regulated in DIN EN 1279-2.
[0027] The barrier film can be multilayered. It can comprise at least one polymeric film, for example, with a thickness of 10 µm to 100 µm, at least one polymeric layer, for example, with a thickness of 5 µm to 80 µm, and a metallic layer, for example, with a thickness of 10 nm to 1500 nm, or a ceramic layer, for example, with a thickness of 10 nm to 1500 nm. The polymeric film and the polymeric layer can be made of the same material and / or have the same thickness. The barrier film can have at least two metallic layers and / or ceramic layers arranged alternately with at least one polymeric layer. For example, the barrier film can consist of a polymeric film with a metallic layer on it, a polymeric layer placed on top of that, and a second metallic layer. consist of a layer.
[0028] The barrier film can be multilayered, comprising at least one metal-containing barrier layer, for example with a thickness of 1 µm to 20 µm, a polymer layer, for example with a thickness of 5 µm to 80 µm, and a metal-containing thin film, for example with a thickness of less than 100 nm, in particular a thickness of 5 nm to 30 nm. The individual layers can be bonded together by adhesives. The barrier film can also include at least one second metal-containing thin film.
[0029] The metal-containing thin film can be adjacent to the polymer layer. The metal-containing thin film can be on the outside, so that the layer sequence is, for example: metal-containing barrier layer - polymer layer - metal-containing thin film. Alternatively, the polymer layer can also be on the outside, so that the layer sequence is, for example: metal-containing barrier layer - metal-containing thin film - polymer layer.
[0030] The metal-containing thin film is preferably deposited by a PVD process (physical vapor deposition). The metal-containing thin film preferably contains metals and / or metal oxides. Particularly preferably, the metal-containing thin film consists of aluminum and / or aluminum oxide.
[0031] The metal-containing barrier layer preferably contains aluminium, silver, copper and / or alloys or mixtures thereof.

[0033] The barrier film can exhibit a gas permeation of less than 0.001 g / (m2 h).
[0034] The barrier film can be designed differently.
[0035] The shear-resistant bonding proposed for this composite element, in addition to the additional sealing achieved by the second and third bonding agents, serves to permanently bond the glass panes of the insulating glass units. The connection of the glass panes to the profile element is made via a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive applied to the bonding surfaces of the profile element.
[0036] The first bonding agent is therefore a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive, which in a preferred embodiment may further comprise: a component K1, comprising a) at least one monomer A according to formula (Illa), where R1< represents either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, preferably a methyl group; R2< represents either a linear or branched hydroxyalkyl group with 2 to 6 carbon atoms or a residue with 4 to 8 carbon atoms comprising either a phenyl group or an aliphatic 5- or 6-membered ring with at least one ether oxygen in the ring structure; b) at least one monomer B according to formula (IIIb), where R3< represents either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, preferably a methyl group; R4< represents a linear alkyl group with more than 12 carbon atoms in the chain and preferably at most 20 carbon atoms in the chain; c) preferably between 10 wt.% and 20 wt.%, based on component K1, at least one elastomer C of formula (I), wherein R represents either a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; X represents a polymeric polyol after removal of two OH groups; and Y represents O or NR", wherein R represents a hydrocarbon residue or a hydrogen atom, preferably a hydrogen atom; and d) preferably at least one additive selected from the group consisting of core-shell polymer, radical curing activator, radical curing inhibitor, filler, and adhesion promoter; with the proviso that component K1 between 25 wt.% and 75 wt.%, preferably between 40 wt.% and 60 wt.%, based on component K1, of the mixture of monomer A and monomer B contains, and with the stipulation that the mass ratio of monomer A to monomer B in component K1 between 1:1 and 9:1, preferably between 6:4 and 8:2; and a component K2,comprehensively at least one initiator of radical hardening.

The first component includes K1 in particular those ingredients of the described composition which have radically polymerizable groups. The second component K2This includes, in particular, the radical initiators. Furthermore, in a two-component composition, other components, especially those that impair the storage stability of the composition through reaction with each other, can also be stored separately.

[0110] Polymers, catalysts, adhesion promoters, pigments and fillers and the component K2 the components radical initiators, pigments and fillers. The mixing ratio of K1 to K2 The ratio is particularly in the range of 1:1 to 10:1.
[0111] The two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive described above, used as the first bonding agent, possesses high strength and stiffness, as well as sufficient elasticity, across a very wide temperature range covering the application range of insulating glass units. At room temperature, it exhibits high elasticity while simultaneously maintaining sufficient strength and stiffness to stabilize the composite element against stresses and wind loads, for example, without the need for additional bracing. Furthermore, it remains sufficiently elastic even at very low temperatures, such as down to -20 °C, surpassing conventional (meth)acrylate adhesives in this respect. Additionally, this two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive can be formulated without volatile, strongly unpleasant-smelling monomers such as methyl methacrylate (MMA).The elongations at break of the two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive used according to the invention, measured according to DIN EN 53504, are at least 100%, preferably at least 150%, and particularly at least 200% or higher at room temperature (23°C). At the same time, the two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive used according to the invention exhibits elongations at break of at least 20%, preferably at least 25%, and particularly at least 30% or higher at a temperature of -20°C, which represents a significant improvement compared to typical two-component (meth)acrylate adhesives of the prior art.
[0112] The second and / or third bonding agent is or preferably comprises at least partially polyisobutylene (PIB).
[0113] In some embodiments, the second and / or third fastener may also consist partially or entirely of the same material as the first fastener, i.e., a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive as described above. This may be identical to the adhesive of the first fastener, or it may be a different embodiment of the described two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive of the first fastener.
[0114] In a composite element according to the invention, with a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive designed according to the invention as the first bonding agent, one of the advantages is that a particularly shear-resistant structure can be achieved. By using such an adhesive as the first bonding agent, a significantly higher stiffness of the composite element can be achieved with simultaneously lower material usage compared to conventional adhesives such as silicones. In addition, the bonding agent also exhibits improved low-temperature stability compared to prior art (meth)acrylate adhesives.
[0115] Generally speaking, the stiffer the adhesive, the more shear-resistant the bond, but also the higher the stresses in the glass and the adhesive joint. High stresses can lead to glass and adhesive breakage. These stresses can arise from the difference in thermal expansion between the glass and the spacer, the weight of the glass itself, and from traffic loads such as wind pressure, suction, and operating forces.
[0116] It is therefore particularly important to select the stiffness of the adhesive such that, with optimal bonding, acceptable stresses are still transferred between the glass and the adhesive. The two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive formulated and used according to the invention exhibits particularly advantageous properties in this respect, as it possesses the necessary stiffness even at very low temperatures, as well as sufficient elasticity to absorb and transfer the tensile forces. At the same time, it possesses the other mechanical properties required for use as a primary bonding agent within the scope of this invention.
[0117] Important technical parameters therefore include, for example, the shear modulus of the adhesive, which is also temperature-dependent, as well as tensile strength and adhesion force. Furthermore, the coefficient of thermal expansion between the glass and the spacer, temperature differences between glass manufacturing and use, wind loads depending on the glass surface area, dead loads depending on glass thickness and surface area, and stresses caused by installation and use must also be considered. This type of structural glass bonding can, for example, achieve particularly gentle glazing and reduce the risk of glass breakage.
[0118] In a preferred embodiment, the first edge of the barrier film is arranged in the second bonding element such that a distance a1 remains between the first edge of the barrier film and the first pane element, and / or the second edge of the barrier film is arranged on or in the third bonding element such that a distance a2 remains between the second edge of the barrier film and the second pane element. A particular consideration in this embodiment is to avoid a heat conduction bridge across the barrier film from the first pane element to the second pane element.
[0119] In a preferred embodiment, the profile element can be made of a glass fiber reinforced plastic, e.g., BASF Ultraduf® < GF50. If the profile element, which acts as a spacer between the first and second pane elements, is made of glass fiber reinforced plastic, heat transfer can be further reduced compared to embodiments using metallic spacers.
[0120] There are several possibilities regarding the arrangement of the barrier film on or within the profile element, which are by no means exhaustive. In one possible configuration, the barrier film can be laminated onto the profile element. In another, equally possible configuration, the barrier film is embedded in the matrix of the profile element.
[0121] It is therefore conceivable to incorporate the barrier film into the profile element during its production.
[0122] In a further preferred embodiment, the profile element has a cavity that is in gas exchange with the space between the discs. In a preferred further development, a desiccant can be arranged in the cavity of the profile element or the cavity can be filled with a desiccant.
[0123] In one possible embodiment, the barrier film is arranged on the outer side of the profile element facing away from the cavity. In an alternative embodiment, the barrier film is arranged on the inner side of the profile element facing the cavity.
[0124] Furthermore, it is conceivable that the first and / or the second connecting surface is at least partially designed as a recess, in particular as a recess which is such that it is recessed compared to the third and / or fourth connecting surface, in particular with respect to the bearing surface on the first or second disc element.
[0125] The recess can be, for example, a joint or a stepped depression. The smaller the joint height, the more shear-resistant the bond. However, as the joint height decreases, the stress in the adhesive and glass increases. Therefore, the calculation is not linear. Corner areas can be particularly critical because the highest stresses can occur there. At the same time, the joint width plays a comparatively minor role in the shear-resistant bond. The stress in the adhesive and glass can be controlled by adjusting the joint width. Here, the larger the area (resulting from the joint width and perimeter), the lower the stress in the adhesive joint and between the adhesive and the glass.
[0126] Increased stiffness of the composite element is particularly advantageous when, for example, the composite element is used as an insulating glass unit and deflection due to wind loads may occur. This can happen, for instance, in the division area of two-part windows or in the unsupported area of facades. In such cases, it may be necessary to structurally reinforce the central section, which, according to current best practices, is achieved by using larger frame cross-sections or additional stiffeners within the frame profile. The design basis for the deflection must comply with the condition... <l / 200 genügen, wobei I die Länge der Glaskante ist. Mit schubfest verbundenem Glas gemäß einer erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktion mit einem Verbundelement bzw.In an advantageous embodiment, the previously necessary additional stiffeners can be completely or partially omitted and / or frame cross-sections can be reduced, or, with the same frame cross-sections and stiffeners, larger ones can be manufactured. This leads to sometimes considerable material savings and is also visually appealing.
[0127] It should be noted that the larger the gap between the panes, the stiffer the glass becomes. The calculation is not linear; the distance is cubed in the calculation.
[0128] In one possible embodiment, it is conceivable, for example, that the recess for applying the first bonding agent has a width of at least 5 mm, preferably at least 6 mm and a depth of at least 1.5 mm, preferably at least 2 mm, in order to ensure an extension of the first bonding agent between the first bonding surface and the first disk element and / or the second bonding surface and the second disk element in a width of at least 5 mm, preferably at least 6 mm, and in a thickness of at least 1.5 mm, preferably at least 2 mm.
[0129] In a further preferred embodiment, the profile element is positioned between the first disc element and the second disc element in such a way that its outer surface is flush with the first disc element and the second disc element.
[0130] In another possible embodiment, the profile element is positioned between the first and second pane elements such that the recesses for receiving the first connecting element face away from the space between the panes. In an alternative embodiment, the profile element is positioned between the first and second pane elements such that the recesses for receiving the first connecting element face towards the space between the panes.
[0131] Furthermore, the profile element may be designed to have a box-like base body with respect to its cross-section. This box-like shape can be achieved, for example, by having a substantially rectangular or square cross-section.
[0132] Furthermore, as already mentioned, it is conceivable that the base body is at least partially hollow inside or has and / or forms a cavity, whereby, for example, the cavity is at least partially permeable and / or perforated, and furthermore, for example, the cavity is at least partially filled with a desiccant (a hygroscopic material).
[0133] Furthermore, it is possible that a first web and / or a second web is formed on the base body, wherein at least one side wall of the first web forms at least partially the first connecting surface and / or wherein at least one side wall of the second web forms at least partially the first connecting surface.
[0134] Furthermore, it can be provided that the first pane element and the second pane element are at least partially made of glass, and the profile element, as already mentioned, is at least partially made of glass fiber reinforced material, in particular at least partially of glass fiber composite material, preferably at least partially of glass fiber reinforced plastic. This has the advantage that both the pane elements and the profile element have essentially the same coefficient of thermal expansion. This, in turn, has the advantage that stresses resulting from heat can be minimized.

[0136] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a window with the features of claim 21. According to this claim, a window is designed with a composite element according to one of claims 1 to 19.

Brief description of the drawing
[0140] The following section provides a more detailed explanation of exemplary embodiments of the invention with reference to the drawings.
[0141] They show: Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a portion of an insulating glass unit according to the invention. Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a portion of another insulating glass unit according to the invention. Fig. 3 is a further embodiment of a composite element according to the invention. Fig. 4 is a further modified embodiment of a composite element according to the invention. Fig. 5 is a further modification of an embodiment of a composite element according to the invention.
[0142] Only the elements essential for an immediate understanding of the invention are shown. Method for implementing the invention
[0143] Figure 1 and Figure 2Figure 1 shows two embodiments of an insulating glass pane 100 with at least one composite element 10, which is formed by the pane elements 20 and 22 and the profile element 30.
[0144] The insulating glass pane 100 has in the Figure 1 and Figure 2 The illustrated embodiments include a third disc element 24 and a further profile element 30, which connects the third disc element 24 to the disc element 22. The two profile elements 30 are identical in construction within each embodiment, but differ between the two embodiments. The embodiment in Figure 1 In addition to a box-shaped base body 36, it has a first web 38 and a second web 39, which are described in more detail below. The exemplary embodiment in Figure 2 The embodiment has only a box-shaped base body 36 in cross-section. Figure 1 It can also be designed such that the first bridge 38 and the second bridge 39 are attached above the base body 36.
[0145] In all embodiments, it is conceivable that the space between the disk elements 20, 22, 24 is filled with a gas. Such a gas could, for example, be argon.
[0146] The second and third disc elements 22, 24, together with the further profile element located between them, form another composite element 10', which is essentially identical to the first composite element 10 and which is now described in detail below: The composite element comprises the first disc element 20 and a second disc element 22 as well as the first profile element 30 or spacer 30. The profile element 30 has a first connecting surface 32 and a second connecting surface 33, wherein the first and the second connecting surfaces 32, 33 are provided and designed for the application and reception of a first connecting element 40.
[0147] The first bonding agent 40 is, in all embodiments, a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive as defined in claim 1, for example composition E1 as described further below. Calculations and tests with the components described in the Figure 1 and 2The illustrated embodiments and the embodiments of the two-component adhesive described below have shown that approximately 10 times higher stiffness can be achieved compared to conventional constructions without (meth)acrylate adhesives. At the same time, significantly higher low-temperature elasticity and thus stress fracture resistance of the bond is achieved compared to prior art constructions based on conventional (meth)acrylate adhesives.
[0148] The first and second connecting surfaces 32, 33 are designed as recesses which are such that they are set back from the third and / or fourth connecting surface 34, 35 with respect to the bearing surface on the first or second disk element 20, 22.
[0149] The recess here is a joint or a stepped recess. The smaller the joint height x, the more shear-resistant the bond becomes. However, as the joint height x decreases, the stress in the adhesive and glass increases. Therefore, the calculation is not linear. Corner areas can be particularly critical because the highest stresses can occur there. At the same time, the joint width y plays a comparatively minor role in the shear-resistant bond. The stress in the adhesive and glass can be controlled by adjusting the joint width y. Here, the larger the area (resulting from joint width and perimeter), the lower the stress in the adhesive joint and between the adhesive 40 and the glass of the pane element 20, 22.
[0150] Adjacent to the first bonding surface 32 is a third bonding surface 34 for the application and / or reception of a second bonding agent 50 and adjacent to the second bonding surface 33 is a fourth bonding surface 35 for the application and / or reception of a second bonding agent 50.
[0151] In both illustrated embodiments, the first disk element 20 and the second disk element 22 are connected by means of the profile element 30 and the first connecting agent 40 and the second connecting agent 50, here polyisobutylene (PIB).
[0152] The profile element 30 has in both embodiments in Figure 1 and Figure 2The basic body 36 has a box-like cross-section. The basic body 36 is at least partially hollow inside and has a cavity 37. The cavity 37 is at least partially permeable and perforated and filled with a hygroscopic material. This allows moisture to be absorbed.
[0153] On the base body 36 in the embodiment according to Figure 1 A first web 38 and a second web 39 are integrally formed, wherein a side wall of the first web 38 at least partially forms the first connecting surface 32 and wherein a side wall of the second web 39 at least partially forms the second connecting surface 33. However, embodiments are also possible in which the first web 38 and the second web 39 are attached above the base body 36.
[0154] Furthermore, in embodiments with a first web 38 and a second web 39, the webs are at least partially designed to exhibit a certain degree of flexibility, thereby compensating for stress forces that can occur, for example, due to high pressure differentials between the gas in the space between the disk elements 20, 22, 24 and atmospheric pressure. This provides additional stability. Such flexibility can be achieved, for example, by having a thinner wall thickness at at least one point in the respective web, allowing controlled, reversible bending. It is also possible to manufacture the respective web partially from a softer, more elastic material, thus achieving bending in the area of this material.
[0155] The first disk element 20 and the second disk element 22 (and also the third disk element 24) are in both illustrated embodiments in Figure 1 and Figure 2 each is at least partially made of glass, and the profile element 30 is also made of glass fiber reinforced plastic.
[0156] In Figure 3 Figure 1 shows a further embodiment of a composite element according to the invention. In this embodiment, the profile element 30 is also designed as a hollow profile with a box-like base body 36 for a shear-resistant connection of a first disc element 20 to a second disc element 22, forming a space 26 between the discs. The profile element 30 has an outer surface 43 facing away from the space 26 between the discs and an inner surface 44 facing the space 26 between the discs.
[0157] The first and second bonding surfaces 32, 33 on the profile element 30 form recesses 42 for the introduction of the first bonding agent 40 in the form of a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive, as defined in claim 1.
[0158] The recesses can specifically have a width of 6 mm and a depth of 2 mm. On the third and fourth bonding surfaces 34 and 35, a second bonding agent 50 and a third bonding agent 52, which in both cases is formed as polyisobutylene (PIB), are provided.
[0159] When installed, as seen from Figure 3 It can be seen that a layer thickness of 0.3 mm of the second bonding agent 50 or of the third bonding agent 52 is provided between profile element 30 and first disc element 20 or second disc element 22.
[0160] According to the invention, a barrier film 60 is arranged on the outer surface 43 of the profile element 30, for example laminated, which extends at both ends to the second connecting element 50 and the third connecting element 52 respectively, such that a first film edge 62 of the barrier film 60 is received at or in the second connecting element 50 and a second film edge 64 is received at or in the third connecting element 52.
[0161] Preferably, the barrier film 60 is not in contact with the first pane element 20 or the second pane element 22, but rather a distance a1 of at least 0.2 mm is provided between the first film edge 62 and the first pane element 20, and a similar distance a2 of at least 0.2 mm is provided between the second film edge 64 and the second pane element 22. The profile element 30 forms a cavity 37 which is filled with desiccant. Perforations 45 are provided on the inside 44 of the profile element 30 to allow gas exchange between the space between the panes 26 and the cavity 37.
[0162] As also from Figure 3As can be seen, the profile element can be arranged with its outer surface 43 flush with the outer edges of the first glazing element 20 and the second glazing element 22. This reduces the visible width of the profile element. This arrangement offers several advantages, namely, as already mentioned, improved aesthetics due to the reduced visible width and enhanced thermal insulation. Furthermore, sealant can also be saved.
[0163] Advantageous aspects also arise with regard to the manufacturing and function: First, a closed frame made of profile elements, as is conventionally known, is provided along the edges of the disc elements 20, 22. The profile element 30 is filled with desiccant. The second bonding agent 50 and the third bonding agent 52 are applied to the profile element 30 at the third and fourth bonding surfaces 34, 35. The first disc element 20, profile element 30, and second disc element 22 are pressed together. The second and third bonding agents 50, 52 provide early strength until a first bonding agent 40 is introduced and cured. In the present embodiment, the first bonding agent 40 can be injected into the two chambers created by the recesses 42 on the profile element 30 between the profile element 30 and the first disc element 20, and between the profile element 30 and the second disc element 22, respectively.The insulating glass unit is ready for use once the bonding agent has cured. When using Sika Fast as a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive, this occurs after just a few minutes.
[0164] In Figure 4 A further modified embodiment of a composite element is illustrated. In the embodiment according to Figure 4The profile element 30 is designed as an open profile element with a cavity 37 open to the space between the panes 26. The barrier film 60 is arranged on an inner surface 44 of the profile element such that a first film edge 62 ends at or in the second connecting element 50, which is arranged on a third connecting surface 34 of the profile element between the profile element 30 and the first pane element 20, and a second film edge 64 of the barrier film 60 ends at or in the third connecting element 52, which is arranged on a fourth connecting surface 35 between the profile element 30 and the second pane element 22.
[0165] A desiccant, preferably a paste, can be arranged within the cavity 37 on the inner surface 44 of the profile element 30, which is covered by the barrier film 30. The profile element 30 has recesses 42 for forming the first bonding surface 32 and the second bonding surface 33, into which the first bonding agent 40 can be introduced.
[0166] Therefore, the production of the shear-resistant composite element, which is also resistant in this embodiment, is analogous to the production steps shown in the embodiment according to Figure 3 described. One advantage over the embodiment according to Figure 3 This results from the embodiment according to Figure 4This is because the barrier film 60 is better protected during manufacturing, transport, and installation. Any damage to the barrier film 60 can significantly impair its moisture and gas tightness. Therefore, careful handling and protection of the film are necessary or at least advisable.
[0167] In the based on Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the profile element is arranged within the space between the panes 26 such that its recesses 42 face the space between the panes 26.
[0168] Even in the embodiment according to Figure 5 The profile element 30 is designed as a box-like base body 36, with perforations 45 also provided on the inside 44 of the profile element 30 to allow gas exchange between the desiccant contained in the profile element 30 and the space between the panes 26.
[0169] The barrier film 60 is provided on the outer surface 43 of the profile element 30, preferably laminated onto it, and extends with a first film edge 62 to or into a second bonding element 50, which is arranged between the third bonding surface 34 of the profile element 30 and the first pane element 20. A second film edge 64 of the barrier film 60 extends to or into a third bonding element 52, which is provided between a fourth bonding surface 35 and the second pane element 22. This embodiment, as well as the embodiments according to Figure 3 or Figure 4 , the first foil edge 62 and the second foil edge 64 are not in direct contact with the associated first pane element 20 or second pane element 22, but are spaced apart from it with a distance a 1 or a 2, in order to avoid a direct thermal bridge between barrier foil 60 and first pane element 20 or second pane element 22.
[0170] The first bonding agent 40, which is also a two-component (meth)acrylate adhesive, is introduced between a first bonding surface 32, which is formed in a recess 42 and the first disk element 20 or the second bonding surface 33, which is also formed in a recess 42, and the second disk element 22 to form a shear-resistant connection.
[0171] Regarding the manufacturing process, the embodiment according to Figure 5 The modification is such that the first bonding agent 40 is applied to the first pane element 20 or the second pane element 22 and / or the profile element 30 before the insulating glass unit is pressed together. The adhesive joint for the first bonding agent 40, formed by the recesses 42, is therefore oriented towards the space between the panes 26.
[0172] The bonding process can be integrated even better into the manufacturing process if it is appropriately designed.
[0173] The present invention makes it possible to save on stiffening materials in the manufacture of an insulating glass unit and to further improve thermal insulation, so that heating or cooling energy can also be saved in the temperature control of a building. Reference symbol list
