Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of insulated glass technology, and more particularly to a flexible spacer for insulated glass. Background Technology

[0002] Insulating glass is basically a whole consisting of two or three single panes of glass joined together. The spacer in the middle serves to separate and support the adjacent panes of glass, and at the same time, it seals the space between the adjacent panes of glass to overcome the problems of moisture entering the insulating layer or short service life. If the spacer between the double panes of glass is made of aluminum, this metal material is called aluminum spacer. It does not insulate or heat, and conducts heat relatively quickly.

[0003] Warm edge strips are designed to create a thermal break between the glass layers. They have low thermal conductivity and excellent heat insulation. Available in rigid and flexible versions, warm edge strips reduce heat loss between the two glass surfaces, minimizing the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor surfaces and reducing condensation. This contributes to energy savings for households. The low thermal conductivity of the warm edge strips gives double-glazed windows better insulation performance, effectively preventing heat transfer between indoor and outdoor areas and reducing indoor energy loss. For example, in winter, it prevents indoor heat from spreading outwards, and in summer, it prevents outdoor heat from spreading inwards, reducing the frequency of using heating or air conditioning, thus saving energy. Warm edge strips also have excellent fire resistance. The inert gas in the double-glazed layer does not easily diffuse, enhancing insulation and energy-saving effects, primarily by reducing condensation on the glass surface. When there is a large temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, especially in the cold autumn and winter seasons, the glass surface will become foggy, which is condensation. This phenomenon causes the glass surface to lose transparency, meaning the surface is no longer smooth, greatly reducing the reflection of indoor and outdoor heat radiation, and consequently significantly reducing the overall heat insulation effect of the glass.

[0004] Furthermore, since the location of water mist is not fixed, the overall internal humidity needs to be reduced during the defogging process using desiccant. However, since the range of water mist appearing in different locations is different, the placement of the desiccant also has different effects on the defogging efficiency. At the same time, since a large amount of inert gas is left in the gap between the two layers of glass, a sealing strip is needed that can improve the defogging efficiency without affecting the internal inert gas. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this application is to provide a flexible spacer for insulating glass that can affect the efficiency of removing water mist at different locations by adjusting the position of the desiccant.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A flexible spacer for insulating glass includes a spacer body, a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate mounted on the spacer body. The spacer body has a connecting hole for connecting the hollow portion of the glass. A desiccant tank is provided inside the spacer body. A movable block and a connecting rod fixedly connected to the movable block are slidably connected to the second clamping plate. A positive magnet is fixedly connected to the free end of the connecting rod. A negative magnet that attracts the positive magnet is slidably connected inside the desiccant tank. A desiccant pack is mounted on the negative magnet.

[0008] In one embodiment, the second clamping plate is provided with a first sliding groove that penetrates the second clamping plate, the connecting rod is slidably connected in the first sliding groove, the desiccant tank is provided with a second sliding groove that does not penetrate the inner wall of the desiccant tank, and the negative pole magnet is slidably connected in the second sliding groove.

[0009] In one embodiment, the spacer body is provided with a reinforcing rib, the spacer body is provided with a mounting groove for holding the glass, and the reinforcing rib is provided with a connecting port that communicates with the connecting hole.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first clamping plate is fixedly connected to the spacer body by a spring telescopic rod.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second clamping plate is provided with a retrieval slot communicating with the desiccant tank, and a locking block for sealing is installed in the retrieval slot.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the flexible spacer for insulating glass provided in this application has the following advantages:

[0013] This application can prioritize demisting the areas most affected by water mist by adjusting the position of the desiccant. Furthermore, the desiccant is moved by a magnet, eliminating the need to manually open the spacers to adjust its position and preventing the leakage of inert gas due to frequent opening of the spacers.

[0025] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0026] Reference Figures 1-5A flexible spacer for insulating glass provided in this application includes a spacer body 11, a first clamping plate 12 and a second clamping plate 14 mounted on the spacer body 11. A connecting hole 13 for connecting the hollow part of the glass is provided on the spacer body 11. A desiccant tank 18 is provided inside the spacer body 11. A moving block 21 and a connecting rod 23 fixedly connected to the moving block 21 are slidably connected to the second clamping plate 14. A positive pole magnet 28 is fixedly connected to the free end of the connecting rod 23. A negative pole magnet 27 that attracts the positive pole magnet 28 is slidably connected inside the desiccant tank 18. A desiccant pack is mounted on the negative pole magnet 27.

[0027] By moving the connecting rod 23 and the moving block 21 on the second clamping plate 14, the positive pole magnet 28 is moved. The positive pole magnet attracts the negative pole magnet 27, allowing the negative pole magnet 27 to move in the same direction within the desiccant tank 18. This is used to adjust the position of the negative pole magnet 27 and the desiccant pack, making it easier to remove water mist in different ranges more efficiently.

[0028] The first clamping plate 12 and the second clamping plate 14 can also facilitate the positioning of the glass and spacer body during installation. The airtightness after installation can be ensured by applying glue or installing pads on the first clamping plate 12 and the second clamping plate 14.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 As a specific embodiment provided in this application, a first sliding groove 15 is provided on the second clamping plate 14, which penetrates the second clamping plate 14. The connecting rod 23 is slidably connected in the first sliding groove 15. A second sliding groove 24 is provided in the desiccant tank 18, which does not penetrate the inner wall of the desiccant tank 18. The negative pole magnet 27 is slidably connected in the second sliding groove 24.

[0030] The first slide groove 15 and the second slide groove 24 can fix the sliding positions of the positive pole magnet 28 and the negative pole magnet 27 within a certain range, ensuring that the friction caused by sliding is reduced while maintaining attractive force, and making it easier to move the desiccant pack.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 A reinforcing rib 19 is provided inside the spacer body 11, and an installation groove 20 for holding the glass is provided on the spacer body 11. A connecting port 25 communicating with the connecting hole 13 is provided on the reinforcing rib 19.

[0032] Through the connecting port 25, the desiccant tank 18 where the desiccant pack is located can come into contact with the interlayer of glass, allowing the desiccant pack to perform dehumidification within its range. Through the connecting hole 13, the water mist between the two layers of glass can be absorbed and treated by the desiccant pack.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The first clamping plate 12 is fixedly connected to the spacer body 11 by a spring telescopic rod 26. The second clamping plate 14 is provided with a retrieval groove 17 that communicates with the desiccant tank 18. A sealing block 22 is installed in the retrieval groove 17.

[0034] If the dehumidification effect is not ideal, it means that the desiccant pack is saturated. In this case, the card block 22 needs to be removed and the positive magnet 28 needs to be moved to move the negative magnet 27 to the retrieval slot 17. However, it should be noted that if the desiccant pack is replaced, the inert gas inside also needs to be refilled.

[0035] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to rearrange, add, or delete steps. For example, the steps described in this application can be executed in parallel, sequentially, or in different orders, as long as the desired result of the technical solution of this application can be achieved, and this is not limited herein.

[0036] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0037] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
