Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vacuum magnetron sputtering coating, in particular to a neutral grey heat-reflective coated glass. Background Art
[0002] As an excellent building material, glass is widely used in buildings due to its good permeability and the functions of light transmission and wind and snow protection. With the development of modern science and technology, glass has been given various new connotations. Among them, heat-reflective coated glass, also known as sunlight control film glass, is made by coating one or more layers of metal or compound films on the surface of high-quality float glass using vacuum magnetron sputtering. The main function of the film is to control the reflection, transmission and absorption of direct solar radiation according to the required proportion, and produce the required reflected color. It has the function of limiting the incident amount of solar radiation, with obvious shading effect, good sight shielding function for indoor objects and building components, relatively ideal visible light transmittance and reflectance, and weakening the transmission of ultraviolet light.
[0003] At present, most heat-reflective coated glass on the market is mainly blue-green in color tone and has high reflectivity. When installed on the curtain walls of high-rise buildings, it will bring certain light pollution, causing dizziness and visual fatigue. Some products on the market have neutral gray color data even if the outdoor reflection color is neutral gray. Because the transmitted color is green, the visual effect after the glass is installed on the wall is still green, and the neutral gray effect cannot be seen.
[0004] Based on this, the utility model designs a neutral grey heat-reflective coated glass to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a neutral gray heat-reflective coated glass to solve the problem in the above-mentioned background technology that most heat-reflective coated glasses currently on the market are mainly blue-green deep colors with high reflectivity. When installed on the curtain walls of high-rise buildings, they will cause certain light pollution, dizziness and visual fatigue. Some products on the market will still appear greenish in visual effect after being installed on the wall because the transmitted color is greenish, even if the outdoor reflected color shows neutral gray color data, and the neutral gray effect cannot be seen.
[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a neutral gray heat-reflective coated glass, comprising a glass substrate and a coating layer, wherein the coating layer is compounded with a first film layer, a second film layer and a third film layer in sequence from the glass substrate outward, the first film layer being configured as a silicon nitride layer, the coating thickness of the first film layer being 20nm to 35nm, the second film layer being configured as a nickel-chromium layer, the coating thickness of the second film layer being 4nm to 5nm, the third film layer being configured as a silicon nitride layer, the coating thickness of the third film layer being 20nm to 25nm.
[0007] Preferably, the sum of the thicknesses of the first film layer, the second film layer and the third film layer is not less than 45 nm and not more than 55 nm.
[0008] A method for preparing the neutral grey heat-reflective coated glass comprises the following steps: performing vacuum magnetron sputtering on the surface of a glass substrate using a target material under a vacuum environment, and sequentially sputtering to form a first film layer, a second film layer, and a third film layer;
[0009] 1) Magnetron sputtering coating layer;
[0010] A. Magnetron sputtering first film layer:

[0013] Target quantity: 2 DC planar targets; target material configuration is nickel-chromium (NiCr); process gas ratio: pure argon; sputtering gas pressure is 2 to 4X10-3 mbar;
[0014] C. Magnetron sputtering third film layer:

[0016] Preferably, the transmission speed of the sputtering chamber is controlled at 9m / min.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: in the coated glass, the first film layer is set as a silicon nitride layer, the second film layer is set as a nickel-chromium layer, and the third film layer is set as a silicon nitride layer. Two silicon nitride (SiNx) layers are set on both sides of the second film layer nickel-chromium (NiCr) layer. The nickel-chromium (NiCr) layer has the function of increasing the absorption of sunlight and improving the light trapping effect, which can greatly improve the visible light absorption rate of the coated glass, so that the coated glass has a low visible light reflectivity under the condition of low transmittance. The first film layer (SiNx) is used as the bottom layer. SiNx has a similar structure to glass and can increase the bonding force between the film and the glass. The third film layer 3SiNx is used as the top layer. SiNx has a high hardness and can It plays a very good role in top-layer protection; the product of this invention uses 6mm single-piece parameters: visible light transmittance color T∈[49,51], a*∈[-1,-2], b*∈[-1,-2]; visible light glass surface reflection color Lg∈[32,33], a*∈[0,-1], b*∈[-4,-5]; visible light film surface reflection color Lf∈[48,49], a*∈[0,1], b*∈[0,1]. This coated glass has a low reflectivity and a visible light transmittance of about 50%.

It is becoming more and more popular in the market. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
