Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tempered glass technology, specifically to a tempered glass with fireproof and heat-insulating properties. Background Technology

[0002] Tempered glass is a type of safety glass. It's actually a prestressed glass, created by applying compressive stress to the glass surface using chemical or physical methods to increase its strength. When subjected to external forces, this surface stress is first neutralized, thus improving its load-bearing capacity and enhancing its resistance to wind pressure, temperature changes, and impacts. To improve the heat and sound insulation of tempered glass, it's often used in insulated glass units (IGUs) consisting of two or more panes separated by spacers to form a sealed space. The spacers are typically made of aluminum and serve to support the glass and maintain a uniform thickness within the space. Sealant is used between the glass and the spacers to ensure a tight seal. Commonly used sealants include butyl rubber and polysulfide sealant (or silicone sealant). Butyl rubber is primarily used for the first seal, offering excellent moisture barrier properties; polysulfide sealant or silicone sealant is used for the second seal, offering better strength and weather resistance.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN217380269U discloses a fire-resistant and heat-insulating tempered glass, comprising a tempered glass body, a protective frame surrounding the tempered glass body, foam adhesive between the protective frame and the end faces of the tempered glass body, several springs between the foam adhesive and the inner wall of the protective frame, and a contact switch electrically connected to an alarm on the inner wall of the protective frame. The tempered glass body includes a grid layer at its center, with PVB adhesive layers symmetrically arranged above and below the grid layer, and a tempered glass layer symmetrically arranged outside the PVB adhesive layer. A hollow cavity is formed inside the tempered glass layer. A fire-retardant adhesive layer and a heat-insulating layer are respectively arranged on the outer layer of the tempered glass layer, and a metal mesh is arranged outside the heat-insulating layer. This fire-resistant and heat-insulating tempered glass exhibits good fire resistance and heat insulation, high safety, and an alarm function.

[0004] However, this device still has the following drawbacks;

[0005] During the manufacturing process of insulated tempered glass, although every effort is made to ensure that the hollow part is dry, it is still difficult to completely avoid the residue of moisture. Moreover, during the use of insulated tempered glass, external moisture may also enter the hollow part through tiny gaps in the sealant. Desiccants can absorb this moisture and keep the hollow part dry, but the adsorption capacity of desiccants gradually decreases with time and environmental factors. After long-term use, water vapor will form on the inner wall of the insulated tempered glass due to the desiccant's failure. This device does not solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fireproof and heat-insulating tempered glass. By setting mounting grooves and mounting holes on the aluminum spacer, the drying component can be removed and replaced separately without affecting the structural form of the insulated tempered glass. This prevents water mist from forming on the inner wall of the tempered glass body due to desiccant failure, ensures the adsorption capacity of the drying component, reduces the impact of time and environmental factors on the insulated tempered glass, and greatly improves the performance and service life of the insulated tempered glass, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A tempered glass with fire resistance and heat insulation includes two sets of tempered glass bodies, the outer surface of which is coated with a low-emissivity coating.

[0009] It also includes an aluminum spacer, which includes a spacer body. The top of the spacer body is integrally formed with a mounting groove, and a plurality of mounting holes are equally spaced in the mounting groove.

[0010] It also includes a drying component, which includes a mounting strip. Several drying cylinders are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting strip. Each drying cylinder corresponds to a mounting hole and is sealed and snapped into place with the mounting hole. The drying cylinder has a hollow structure and multiple sets of through holes are opened at the bottom of the drying cylinder. A desiccant is placed inside the drying cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the two sets of tempered glass bodies and aluminum spacers form a hollow structure.

[0012] Preferably, the hollow structure between the tempered glass bodies is filled with an inert gas layer.

[0013] Preferably, the aluminum spacer is disposed between the two sets of tempered glass bodies and located around the tempered glass bodies, and the two sides of the aluminum spacer are sealed and bonded to the tempered glass bodies with butyl adhesive.

[0014] Preferably, the bottom of the mounting strip is sealed and snapped into the mounting groove, and the top of the mounting strip is sealed and bonded to the tempered glass body with silicone adhesive.

[0015] Preferably, a fixing groove is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting strip, and a fixing rod is fixedly installed in the fixing groove.

[0016] Preferably, the bottom of the drying cylinder has multiple sets of through holes, which face the interior of the hollow structure.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model features a simple and convenient structure with mounting grooves and holes on the aluminum spacer. Without affecting the structural form of the insulated tempered glass, the drying component can be removed and replaced separately.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A tempered glass with fire resistance and heat insulation includes two sets of tempered glass bodies 1. The two sets of tempered glass bodies 1 and aluminum spacers 4 form a hollow structure. The outer surface of the tempered glass body 1 is coated with a low-emissivity coating 2. The two sides of the aluminum spacers 4 are sealed and bonded to the tempered glass body 1 with butyl adhesive 5. The hollow structure between the tempered glass bodies 1 is filled with an inert gas layer 6.

[0027] By setting aluminum spacers 4, the tempered glass body 1 can be supported and the thickness of the hollow structure can be kept uniform. A sealed hollow space can be formed between the two sets of tempered glass bodies 1. In summer, it can block hot outdoor air from entering the room and reduce the frequency of air conditioning use. In winter, it can prevent indoor heat loss and reduce heating costs. At the same time, the hollow structure can buffer and weaken sound. Moreover, the multi-layer glass structure also increases the obstruction of sound transmission, which greatly reduces the intensity of sound. Butyl rubber 5 has a relatively high melting point. When the temperature continues to rise and exceeds its softening point, butyl rubber 5 will gradually soften. Even at high temperatures, it will not flow like a liquid. In the short period of time during a fire, it can still provide a certain sealing and buffering function, providing valuable time for personnel evacuation.

[0028] It also includes an aluminum spacer 4, which is disposed between two sets of tempered glass bodies 1 and located around the tempered glass bodies 1. The aluminum spacer 4 includes a spacer body 401, and the top of the spacer body 401 is integrally formed with an installation groove 402. A plurality of installation holes 403 are equally spaced in the installation groove 402.

[0029] By setting mounting grooves 402 and mounting holes 403 on the aluminum spacer 4, the drying component 7 can be removed and replaced separately without affecting the structural form of the insulated tempered glass. This prevents water mist from forming on the inner wall of the tempered glass body 1 due to desiccant failure, ensures the adsorption capacity of the drying component 7, reduces the impact of time and environmental factors on the insulated tempered glass, and greatly improves the performance and service life of the insulated tempered glass.

[0030] It also includes a drying component 7, which includes a mounting strip 701. Several drying cylinders 702 are fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting strip 701. The drying cylinders 702 correspond one-to-one with the mounting holes 403 and are sealed and snapped into the mounting holes 403. The drying cylinders 702 are hollow structures. Multiple sets of through holes 703 are opened at the bottom of the drying cylinders 702. A desiccant is placed inside the drying cylinders 702. The bottom of the mounting strip 701 is sealed and snapped into the mounting groove 402. The top of the mounting strip 701 is sealed and bonded to the tempered glass body 1 with silicone sealant 3. A fixing groove 704 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting strip 701. A fixing rod 705 is fixedly mounted in the fixing groove 704. Multiple sets of through holes 703 are opened at the bottom of the drying cylinders 702, and the through holes 703 face the interior of the hollow structure.

[0031] By setting up the drying cylinder 702, the desiccant inside the drying cylinder 702 can adsorb water vapor in the hollow structure, thereby preventing water mist from forming on the inner wall of the tempered glass body 1. When used in conjunction with the mounting hole 403, it improves the sealing performance and reduces the entry of external water vapor into the hollow structure. The installation strip 701, in conjunction with the installation groove 402, further improves the sealing performance. Moreover, by removing the installation strip 701, multiple drying cylinders 702 can be removed at the same time, thereby improving the replacement efficiency. The fixing groove 704 and fixing rod 705 facilitate the fixing of external tools, thereby further facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the drying component 7. The silicone sealant 3, with its good strength and weather resistance, can resist the influence of external environmental factors and further improve the sealing performance. Moreover, when replacing the drying component 7, the silicone sealant 3 can be scraped off separately to replace the drying component 7, thereby preventing any impact on the stability of the connection between the aluminum spacer 4 and the tempered glass body 1.

[0032] In practical use, when the desiccant needs to be replaced, use an external knife to scrape off the outermost layer of silicone sealant 3, then use an external tool to hook the fixing rod 705 in the fixing groove 704, remove the mounting strip 701 and the drying cylinder 702 together, then align the new mounting strip 701 and the drying cylinder 702 with the mounting groove 402 and the mounting hole 403 respectively and insert them, and finally use silicone sealant 3 to seal and fix the mounting strip 701 to the tempered glass body 1.
