[0035] Example

[0036] Please refer to Figs. 1 to 3The embodiment of the present application provides a vacuum glass with a metal mesh sealing structure, comprising:

[0037] a first glass layer 10;

[0038] a second glass layer 20, the second glass layer 20 is arranged side by side with the first glass layer 10 and has a spacing;

[0039] a sealing structure layer, the sealing structure layer comprises a first adhesive layer 31, a second adhesive layer 32 and a solder layer 33, the first adhesive layer 31 is arranged on one side of the first glass layer 10, the second adhesive layer 32 is arranged on the side of the second glass layer 20 opposite to the first glass layer 10, and the solder layer 33 is arranged between the first adhesive layer 31 and the second adhesive layer 32; and

[0040] a metal mesh 40, the metal mesh 40 is arranged in the solder layer 33.

[0041] It should be noted that the first glass layer 10 and the second glass layer 20 are only respectively described for the adjacent two glass layers, and do not limit the product of the present application to only two glass layers. In addition, the support structure between the glass is relatively mature in the prior art, and will not be described here.

[0042] Briefly, by adding the metal mesh 40, the oxide film of the solder layer 33 is broken, the air tightness after sealing is improved, and the purpose of improving the yield is achieved.

[0043] Specifically, the expansion coefficient of the metal mesh 40 of the present application is <20x10 -6 mm / (mm·℃), more preferably <10x10 -6 mm / (mm·℃). Optionally, the metal mesh 40 is a copper mesh, a titanium alloy mesh or a steel mesh. Of course, these are examples and are not limited to only these types. As long as the expansion coefficient meets the requirements, other types of metals or alloys can also be selected as the metal mesh 40 according to the needs.

[0044] This is because the practical man of the present application finds through practical research on the prior art that the reason for the low yield of the prior art is that the solder used for sealing has an oxide film on the surface of tin, which is difficult to break during vacuum sealing, which reduces the yield. And, the expansion coefficient of tin is 23x10 -6 mm / (mm·℃), the expansion coefficient of glass is 9.0x10 -6 mm / (mm·℃), and there is a large difference between the two, which leads to a large stress during sealing. Therefore, the yield after sealing of the prior art has been low.

[0045] It is just this situation that provides a new scheme for improving the yield.

[0046] Further, the width of the metal mesh 40 of the present application is W2, and the width of the sealing structure layer when sealed is sealing width W1, and the relationship between W2 and W1 satisfies: W1 x 0.3 ≤ W2 ≤ W1. The width of the metal mesh 40 cannot be greater than the sealing width, but also cannot be too narrow, otherwise the effect is limited.

[0047] The mesh number of the metal mesh 40 is 8-100 mesh. If the mesh number is too large / the mesh is too small, it will lead to less solder tin, affecting the sealing strength, and if the mesh number is too small / the mesh is too large, the effect of breaking the oxide film is limited, resulting in a higher void rate after sealing.

[0048] Fig. 2 And Fig. 3 In the present application, the mesh of the metal mesh 40 is rhombic or square. It can be understood that this is only an example, and other shapes of the mesh are not limited to use, as long as the tin liquid can flow in the mesh to break the oxide film.

[0049] The thickness of the metal mesh 40 of the present application is ≤0.6mm. The embodiment of the present application uses one layer of metal mesh 40, but if the product is some large size vacuum glass, the number of layers of the metal mesh 40 can be more, that is, the solder layer 33 has at least one layer of metal mesh 40. This can make the tin liquid flow more fully when heated. Of course, the multi-layer described here does not limit that each layer must be independently separated, and can be connected or even staggered, as long as most of the structures are spaced apart, that is, the tin liquid flow requirement is met, thereby ensuring the breaking of the oxide film and improving the yield.

[0050] In the present application, the first adhesive layer 31 and the second adhesive layer 32 are both sintered and / or deposited copper alloy layers;

[0051] Or, a silver layer sintered by silver paste;

[0052] Or, a tin alloy containing Zn or Ti. Among them, Zn or Ti are active elements, and those skilled in the art can use other active elements accordingly, which are not limited to only these two.

[0053] No matter which adhesive layer, the enterprise or manufacturer can choose the appropriate material as the adhesive layer according to the material cost or the existing equipment.

[0054] Further, the solder layer 33 of the present application is a tin alloy or an indium alloy, and the melting point of the solder layer 33 is 110-280℃. The specific composition of the tin alloy or the indium alloy can have many choices, and those skilled in the art can use it as the solder layer 33 as long as the melting point of the selected material meets the range of the present application.

[0055] In addition, in the sealing stage, the metal mesh 40 can be pre-set in the solder layer 33 before sealing, or a layer of tin can be plated on the surface of the metal mesh 40, and then the metal mesh 40 is placed in the solder layer 33, and then sealing is performed.

[0056] For example:

[0057] In this embodiment, a certain mesh copper mesh is placed in the tin layer to realize sealing, which can improve the air tightness and reduce the sealing stress. For example, if the metal mesh 40 is made of copper, the expansion coefficient of copper is 17x10 -6 mm / (mm·℃), which is smaller than that of tin, and can be used as a framework in the solder to reduce the expansion degree of tin under heating, thereby relieving stress. At the same time, when heated in a vacuum, the tin in the holes of the metal mesh 40 flows under the action of pressure, which can break the oxide film of the tin, thereby improving the air tightness and yield of the sealing.

[0058] That is, the scheme of the present application not only improves the yield, but also improves the air tightness of the final product, and the performance of the product is better.

[0059] Compared with the known prior art, such as the 65th line of patent (CN102079619B), which also mentions placing a U-shaped metal sheet in the solder, but in practice, the yield is not high. Through research, it is found that although the metal sheet is added, the flat metal sheet is difficult to break the oxide film, so the yield is affected. It does not find the problem of the oxide film, and does not select the appropriate expansion coefficient, so the prior art does not find the key to break through the yield.

[0060] The vacuum glass with the metal mesh sealing structure of the present application is the result of practical research to find the key to solving the problem, and proposes the scheme of adding a metal mesh 40 to the solder layer 33. In the challenge of using tin solder to realize air tightness sealing in a vacuum and reduce the sealing stress, the problem is successfully solved, and the yield is improved. Through further research, the metal mesh 40 is diversified in material selection, mesh size design, thickness design, expansion coefficient selection, and width design, and the parameter selection that can successfully improve the yield is proposed, which effectively improves the existing problems.

[0061] In summary, the vacuum glass with the metal mesh sealing structure of the present application adds a metal mesh 40 to the solder layer 33 of the sealing structure layer, so that the first glass layer 10 and the second glass layer 20 have better air tightness after being sealed, and the yield is improved, which effectively improves the problem of low yield when using tin solder for air tightness sealing under existing vacuum conditions.

[0062] The above descriptions are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. The present application can have various modifications and changes for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
