Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of single silver coated glass, in particular to a low-radiation and high-transmittance single silver coated glass. Background Art
[0002] Low-emissivity coated glass is currently widely used in architectural glass, with single-silver low-emissivity coated glass being the most widely used. This is due to its reduced number of film layers and low production costs, making it suitable for large-scale adoption. Furthermore, there is a strong market demand for high-transmittance coated glass with even lower emissivity, particularly in cold regions.
[0003] Common single-silver low-emissivity glass on the market has an emissivity higher than 0.06 and a transmittance of less than 86%. While this maximizes visible light penetration, its high emissivity prevents heat from entering the room. Conventional single-silver low-emissivity glass incorporates a silver film layer, which is increased in thickness to reduce emissivity. However, excessively thick silver film reduces the overall transmittance of the coated glass, rendering it incapable of achieving both high transmittance and low emissivity. This requires improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a low-emissivity and high-transmittance single silver-coated glass, which takes into account both high transmittance and low emissivity, allows visible light to enter the room to the greatest extent, and reduces the outward radiation of heat energy.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a low-radiation, high-transmittance single silver-coated glass, comprising a glass substrate and a coating layer; the coating layer comprises a bonding layer, a first high-refractive-index medium layer, a front protective base layer, a silver film layer, a ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer, a second high-refractive-index medium layer and a wear-resistant top layer, which are sequentially stacked from the surface of the glass substrate outward;
[0006] Wherein: the refractive index of the first high refractive index medium layer is n≥2.3, and the thickness is 5nm-30nm.
[0007] As a preferred solution, the second high refractive index medium layer has a film refractive index n≥2.3 and a thickness of 5 nm to 30 nm.
[0008] As a preferred solution, the thickness of the front protective base layer is greater than the ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer.
[0009] As a preferred solution, the thickness of the front protective base layer is 5nm to 15nm, and the thickness of the ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer is 1nm to 5nm.
[0010] As a preferred solution, the film crystal phase of the silver film layer grows in a certain direction.
[0011] As a preferred solution, the thickness of the silver film layer is 9nm to 15nm.
[0012] As a preferred solution, the thickness of the bonding layer and the wear-resistant top layer are both 5nm to 40nm.
[0013] As a preferred solution, the thickness of the bonding layer is 5nm~10nm, the thickness of the first high refractive index medium layer is 20nm~21nm, the thickness of the front protective base layer is 5nm~8nm, the thickness of the silver film layer is 10nm~13nm, the thickness of the ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer is 3nm~4nm, the thickness of the second high refractive index medium layer is 10nm~12nm, and the thickness of the wear-resistant top layer is 5nm~22nm.
[0014] As a preferred solution, the glass substrate is a float glass sheet.
[0015] As a preferred solution, the front protective base layer is ZnAlOx or AZO.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] 1. The first high refractive index medium layer and the second high refractive index medium layer play the role of anti-reflection and anti-transmission.
[0018] 2. The first high-refractive-index dielectric layer formed first can reduce the surface roughness of the pre-protective base layer formed later, which is beneficial for the silver film layer to grow in a certain direction during deposition. That is, the silver film layer forms a continuous and flat thin film during the initial deposition. The continuous functional layer has a certain effect on reducing the emissivity.
[0019] 3. The front protective base layer and the ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer protect the silver film layer;
[0020] The ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer adopts ceramic target to sputter at low power in pure argon atmosphere, which is beneficial to protect the previously formed silver film functional layer from being oxidized, and at the same time avoid the influence of high-energy particles on the silver film functional layer during the deposition of the second high refractive index medium layer formed later.
[0021] 3. This low-emissivity, high-transmittance single silver coated glass takes into account both high transmittance and low emissivity, making the emissivity of the coated glass lower than 0.06 and the transmittance higher than 86%, allowing visible light to enter the room to the greatest extent and reducing the outward radiation of heat energy.

[0027] In order to more clearly describe the specific structure of the low-emissivity high-transmittance single silver coated glass, Figure 1 Describe:
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a low-emissivity, high-transmittance single-silver-coated glass comprises a glass substrate 1 and a coating layer. The coating layer comprises a bonding layer 2, a first high-refractive-index dielectric layer 3, a pre-protective base layer 4, a silver film layer 5, a ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer 6, a second high-refractive-index dielectric layer 7, and a wear-resistant top layer 8, stacked sequentially from the surface of the glass substrate 1. The first high-refractive-index dielectric layer 3 has a refractive index n ≥ 2.3 and a thickness of 5 nm to 30 nm. The first high-refractive-index dielectric layer 3, formed first, reduces the surface roughness of the pre-protective base layer 4, which is formed later. This facilitates the directional growth of the silver film layer 5 during deposition. This results in a continuous, flat film formed during initial deposition. This continuous functional layer contributes to a reduction in emissivity.
[0029] The glass substrate 1 is specifically a float glass original sheet.
[0030] The bonding layer 2 is formed on the surface of the glass substrate 1 and serves to connect the coating layer and the glass substrate 1. The bonding layer 2 can be a metal oxide or a metal nitride, preferably Si3N4, SiZrNx, SiZrOx, ZnSnOx, etc. The thickness of the bonding layer 2 is 5nm to 40nm.
[0031] The first high refractive index medium layer 3 and the second high refractive index medium layer 7 play the role of anti-reflection and anti-transmission, and can be specifically made of high refractive index materials such as Nb2O5 and TiO2. Therefore, the film refractive index n of the second high refractive index medium layer 7 is ≥2.3, and the thickness is 5nm~30nm.
[0032] The pre-protective base layer 4 can specifically be ZnAlOx, AZO, etc., which is used to adhere and form the silver film layer 5, which is conducive to the growth of the film layer crystal phase in a certain direction when the silver film layer 5 is deposited thereon, and provides protection for the silver film layer 5 in the future. The thickness of the pre-protective base layer 4 is 5nm~15nm.
[0033] The silver film layer 5 is a functional layer of Ag or Ag alloy, and its crystal phase grows in a certain direction, which can reduce the emissivity of the functional layer. The thickness of the silver film layer 5 is 9nm to 15nm.
[0034] The ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer 6 adopts ceramic target TiO2 or AZO to be low-power sputtered in a pure argon atmosphere, which is beneficial to protect the previously formed silver film functional layer from being oxidized, and at the same time avoid the influence of high-energy particles on the silver film functional layer during the deposition of the second high refractive index medium layer 7 formed later; in addition to protecting the functional layer, the front protective base layer 4 also serves as a sputtering carrier for the functional layer, so the thickness needs to be sufficient. After the ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer 6 is formed and the functional layer is formed, excessive sputtering may affect the silver film layer. Therefore, during design, the thickness of the ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer 6 can be made smaller than the thickness of the front protective base layer 4. The specific thickness of the ceramic target low-power sputtering protective layer 6 can be 1nm~5nm.
[0035] After the wear-resistant top layer 8 is formed, it becomes the new surface layer of the single silver coated glass, so it needs to ensure a certain wear resistance. Si3N4, SiZrNx, SiZrOx, ZrOx, etc. are preferred. The thickness of the wear-resistant top layer 8 is 5nm to 40nm.
[0036] The thickness of the glass substrate 1 is 6nm, the thickness of the bonding layer 2 is 5nm~10nm, the thickness of the first high refractive index medium layer 3 is 20nm~21nm, the thickness of the front protective base layer 4 is 5nm~8nm, the thickness of the silver film layer 5 is 10nm~13nm, the thickness of the ceramic target low-power sputtering protection layer 6 is 3nm~4nm, the thickness of the second high refractive index medium layer 7 is 10nm~12nm, and the thickness of the wear-resistant top layer 8 is 5nm~22nm.
