Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of glass, in particular to a bird-friendly glass. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the transparent and reflective properties of glass, birds often cannot identify the existence of glass, thus mis-hitting the glass, resulting in injury or even death. In the prior art, in order to reduce the occurrence of this situation, a pattern is mainly processed on the surface of the glass by using some reflective materials to play a warning role for birds. However, the use of some reflective materials to process patterns for warning has the following defects, that is, the reflective materials often have low transparency, and are visible to the human eye, thus not only reducing the transmittance of the glass, but also directly affecting the aesthetic level of the building. In order to solve this problem, the present application aims to provide a glass with high light transmittance and high ultraviolet reflectance, which can effectively protect birds without affecting the transmittance. SUMMARY

[0003] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a bird-friendly glass.

[0004] The technical scheme adopted by the present application to solve the technical problems is: a bird-friendly glass, comprising a glass substrate, a high-transparency protective film layer is arranged on the upper end face of the glass substrate, the high-transparency protective film layer comprises a bidirectional composite structure film and a titanium oxide layer, the bidirectional composite structure film comprises a first stable protective layer and a second stable protective layer, the titanium oxide layer is compounded between the first stable protective layer and the second stable protective layer, the first stable protective layer is plated on the outdoor surface of the glass substrate, the second stable protective layer is plated on the outdoor surface of the titanium oxide layer, and the hierarchical structure of the bird-friendly glass is sequentially from bottom to top as the glass substrate, the first stable protective layer, the titanium oxide layer, and the second stable protective layer.

[0005] The first stable protective layer and the second stable protective layer are used to reduce the reflectivity of the titanium oxide layer in the visible light band, the first stable protective layer and the second stable protective layer both contain silicon nitride and aluminum-doped silicon nitride, the hierarchical thickness of the first stable protective layer is 0 nm to 200 nm, and the hierarchical thickness of the second stable protective layer is 40 nm to 200 nm.

[0006] Preferably, the hierarchical thickness of the glass substrate is 0.4 mm to 20 mm.

[0007] Preferably, the hierarchical thickness of the titanium oxide layer is 10 nm to 100 nm.

[0008] Preferably, the first stable protective layer, the titanium oxide layer, and the second stable protective layer are sequentially plated into films by a magnetron sputtering method.

[0009] Compared to existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: by setting a titanium oxide layer to reflect or scatter ultraviolet light, the ultraviolet reflection effect of the glass substrate is increased. The first stable protective layer is set on the outer layer of the titanium oxide layer, which can reduce the reflectivity of the titanium oxide layer in the visible light band and increase the visible light transmittance of the glass substrate. The second stable protective layer is set on the titanium oxide layer close to the glass substrate, which can reduce the reflectivity of titanium oxide in the visible light band and increase the visible light transmittance of the glass. After the first and second stable protective layers cover both sides of the titanium oxide layer, their high wear resistance can effectively protect the titanium oxide, so that the glass can have both high ultraviolet reflectivity and high visible light transmittance, thereby achieving the purpose of protecting birds.

A high-transparency protective film layer is disposed on the upper surface of the glass substrate 1. The high-transparency protective film layer includes a bidirectional composite structure film 2 and a titanium oxide layer 3. The bidirectional composite structure film 2 includes a first stable protective layer 21 and a second stable protective layer 22. The titanium oxide layer 3 is composited between the first stable protective layer 21 and the second stable protective layer 22. The first stable protective layer 21 is coated on the outer surface of the glass substrate 1, and the second stable protective layer 22 is coated on the outer surface of the titanium oxide layer 3. The layer structure of the bird-friendly glass, from bottom to top, is glass substrate 1, first stable protective layer 21, titanium oxide layer 3, and second stable protective layer 22.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the bird-friendly glass provided by the application comprises a glass substrate 1, and a high-transmittance protective film layer is arranged on the upper end surface of the glass substrate 1. The high-transmittance protective film layer comprises a bidirectional composite structure film 2 and a titanium oxide layer 3.

[0034] In the embodiment, the glass substrate 1 is quartz glass, and the thickness is 4 mm.

[0035] The first stable protective layer 21 and the second stable protective layer 22 are used to reduce the reflectivity of the titanium oxide layer 3 in the visible light band, and both of the first stable protective layer 21 and the second stable protective layer 22 contain silicon nitride and aluminum-doped silicon nitride, the layer thickness of the first stable protective layer 21 is 93 nm, and the layer thickness of the second stable protective layer 22 is 86 nm.
