Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminated glass. The present invention also relates to a vehicle using the laminated glass. [Background technology]

[0002] Laminated glass is excellent in safety because it scatters only a small amount of glass fragments even when broken by external impact. For this reason, laminated glass is widely used in automobiles, railway vehicles, aircraft, ships, buildings, etc. Laminated glass is manufactured by sandwiching an interlayer film between a pair of glass sheets (laminated glass components).

In self-driving vehicles, remote sensing devices such as LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) are used to detect the surroundings of the vehicle. It is also expected that remote sensing devices will be installed inside the vehicle.

[0004] The following Patent Document 1 describes: (a) a 5m wavelength band in the wavelength range of 1051 nm to 1650 nm; -1 The present disclosure discloses an automobile glazing comprising at least one glass sheet having an absorption coefficient of less than 1051 nm and having an exterior surface and an interior surface, and (b) an infrared filter, wherein an infrared-based remote sensing device in the wavelength range of 1051 nm to 1650 nm is disposed on the interior surface of the glass sheet in a zone free of the infrared filter layer.

[0025] The present invention will be described in detail below.

[0026] In this specification, the use of "to" in a numerical range means that the numerical values ​​on both sides of the "to" range are included as upper and lower limits. For example, "380 nm to 2500 nm" means "380 nm or more and 2500 nm or less."

[0027] The laminated glass according to the present invention is a laminated glass comprising a first laminated glass member, a second laminated glass member, and an interlayer film (interlayer film for laminated glass), with the interlayer film disposed between the first laminated glass member and the second laminated glass member. In the laminated glass according to the present invention, the first laminated glass member has a light transmittance of 85% or more at all wavelengths within a range of 380 nm to 2500 nm. The laminated glass according to the present invention has a first region and a second region, and the light transmittance of the second region is 5% or more higher than the light transmittance of the first region at at least one wavelength within a range of 380 nm to 2500 nm.

[0028] In recent years, the development of autonomous vehicles equipped with remote sensing devices has progressed. When a remote sensing device is installed inside a vehicle, the light emitted from the remote sensing device must be able to pass through laminated glass.

[0029] In order to allow the light emitted from the remote sensing device to pass through well, it is conceivable to use a laminated glass member with a higher light transmittance than conventional laminated glass members. However, when a laminated glass member with a high light transmittance is used, the heat-shielding properties of the laminated glass are reduced. In particular, when infrared light is used as the light emitted from the remote sensing device, the higher the infrared transmittance, the lower the heat-shielding properties of the laminated glass.

[0030] In contrast, the laminated glass of the present invention uses, as the first laminated glass element, a laminated glass having a light transmittance of 85% or more at all wavelengths in the range of 380 nm to 2500 nm, and is therefore able to transmit light emitted from a remote sensing device well. Furthermore, the laminated glass of the present invention uses a specific first laminated glass element, and the laminated glass has a first region and a second region having different light transmittances. Therefore, the laminated glass of the present invention can transmit light emitted from a remote sensing device well in the second region, and can enhance heat-shielding properties in the first region. The laminated glass of the present invention can enhance heat-shielding properties despite using a first laminated glass element having a light transmittance of 85% or more.

[0031] The laminated glass member having a light transmittance of 85% or more has a higher light transmittance than laminated glass members such as clear glass and green glass that are commonly used in laminated glass.

[0032] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0044] The laminated glass 31A can effectively transmit the light L emitted from the remote sensing device 51 in the second region R2 and can enhance the heat-shielding properties in the first region R1. As a result, the laminated glass 31A can effectively transmit the light L emitted from the remote sensing device 51 and can enhance the heat-shielding properties.

[0052] FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a third modified interlayer film that can be used in laminated glass. FIG. 4 shows a cross section of an interlayer film 11C in the thickness direction. The interlayer film 11C shown in FIG. 4 and interlayer films 11D, 11E, 11F, 11G, and 11H shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 (described later) are used together with a first laminated glass member and a second laminated glass member to obtain laminated glass. The sizes and dimensions of the interlayer films 11C, 11D, 11E, 11F, 11G, and 11H shown in FIGS. 4 to 9 have been modified from their actual sizes and shapes for ease of illustration. The first region R1 and the second region R2 are not shown in FIGS. 4 to 9. The interlayer films 11C, 11D, 11E, 11F, 11G, and 11H each have a first region R1 and a second region R2 (not shown).

[0053] The interlayer film 11C includes a first layer 1C (interlayer), a second layer 2C (surface layer), and a third layer 3C (surface layer). The second layer 2C is disposed on a first surface side of the first layer 1C and stacked thereon. The third layer 3C is disposed on a second surface side opposite the first surface of the first layer 1C and stacked thereon. The first layer 1C is disposed between the second layer 2C and the third layer 3C and sandwiched therebetween. The interlayer film 11C is a multilayer interlayer film.

[0054] The intermediate film 11C has one end 11a (one end) and the other end 11b (the other end) opposite the one end 11a. The one end 11a and the other end 11b are opposite ends. The cross-sectional shape in the thickness direction of the second layer 2C and the third layer 3C is wedge-shaped. The cross-sectional shape in the thickness direction of the first layer 1C is rectangular. The second layer 2C and the third layer 3C are thicker on the other end 11b side than on the one end 11a side. Therefore, the thickness of the other end 11b of the intermediate film 11C is thicker than the thickness of the one end 11a. Therefore, the intermediate film 11C has a thin region and a thick region.

[0055] Intermediate film 11C has a region where the thickness increases from one end 11a to the other end 11b. In intermediate film 11C, in the region where the thickness increases, the amount of increase in thickness is uniform from one end 11a to the other end 11b.

The thickness of the other end 11b of the intermediate film 11D is greater than the thickness of the one end 11a. Therefore, the intermediate film 11D and the first layer 1D have thin and thick regions.

[0061] Intermediate film 11D has a region where the thickness increases from one end 11a to the other end 11b. In intermediate film 11D, in the region where the thickness increases, the increase in thickness is uniform from one end 11a to the other end 11b.

[0079] In the laminated glass according to the present invention, the second region has a light transmittance that is 5% or more higher than the light transmittance of the first region at at least one wavelength in the range of 380 nm to 2500 nm. The second region has a light transmittance that is 5% or more higher than the first region at at least one wavelength in the range of 380 nm to 2500 nm.

[0080] At at least one wavelength in the range of 380 nm to 2500 nm, the light transmittance of the second region is preferably 10% or more higher than the light transmittance of the first region, more preferably 15% or more higher, even more preferably 20% or more higher, and particularly preferably 25% or more higher, thereby enabling even better transmission of light emitted from a remote sensing device.

[0300] Preparation of interlayer: The material for the region corresponding to the obtained first region was extruded using an extruder to obtain a 760 μm thick layer A. The material for the region corresponding to the obtained second region was extruded using an extruder to obtain a 760 μm thick layer B. A portion of the obtained layer A was removed by cutting with a laser, and the obtained layer B was embedded in the removed portion to obtain a single-layer interlayer film having only the first layer and a thickness of 760 μm.

[0301] (2) Fabrication of laminated glass The obtained interlayer film was cut to a size of 100 cm long x 100 cm wide. Two laminated glass members A (100 cm long x 100 cm wide) were also prepared. The obtained interlayer film was sandwiched between the two laminated glass members A and pre-pressed using a vacuum bag method. The pre-pressed laminate was held in an autoclave at a temperature of 140°C and a pressure of 1.3 MPa for 10 minutes, and then the temperature was lowered to 50°C and the pressure was returned to atmospheric pressure to complete the permanent pressure bonding, thereby obtaining laminated glass. From one end of the laminated glass to the other end, a first region R1 (the first first region R1), a second region R2, and a first region R1 (the second first region R1) were formed in this order.

[0302] Examples 2 to 7 An interlayer film for laminated glass and laminated glass were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the configuration of the interlayer film (thickness, type and content of pigment or heat-shielding substance) and the type of laminated glass component were changed as shown in Tables 1 and 2. Note that ultraviolet shielding agents and antioxidants not shown in the tables were used in the same amounts as in Example 1.

[0305] The obtained interlayer film material was extruded using an extruder to obtain a single-layer interlayer film having only the first layer and a thickness of 760 μm.

[0307] (Comparative Example 2) (1) Preparation of interlayer film The following components were blended and thoroughly kneaded in a mixing roll to prepare a material for an interlayer film.

[0308] PVB: 100 parts by weight 3GO: 40 parts by weight CWO particles: 0.04% by weight in 100% by weight of the resulting interlayer film Tinuvin 326: 0.2% by weight based on 100% by weight of the interlayer film obtained BHT: 0.2% by weight based on 100% by weight of the interlayer film obtained

[0309] The obtained interlayer film material was extruded using an extruder to obtain a single-layer interlayer film having only the first layer and a thickness of 760 μm.

[0310] (2) Fabrication of laminated glass A laminated glass was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the obtained interlayer film was used.

[0311] (Comparative Example 3) Except for using ITO particles in an amount that would result in 0.5 wt % of the resulting interlayer film (100 wt %) instead of CWO particles, an interlayer film for laminated glass and laminated glass were obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 2. Note that ultraviolet screening agents and antioxidants not listed in the table were used in the same amounts as in Comparative Example 2.

[0312] (Comparative Examples 4 to 7) Interlayer films for laminated glass and laminated glass were obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that the types of laminated glass components were changed as shown in Tables 3 and 4. Note that ultraviolet screening agents and antioxidants not shown in the tables were used in the same amounts as in Comparative Example 1.

[0313] (Examples 8 to 14 and Comparative Examples 8 to 15) Interlayer films for laminated glass and laminated glass were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the configuration of the interlayer film (thickness, type and content of pigment or heat-shielding material, type of heat reflective film) and the type of laminated glass component were changed as shown in Tables 5 to 10. Note that ultraviolet shielding agents and antioxidants not shown in the tables were used in the same amounts as in Example 1.

[0314] A heat ray reflective film was used in Examples 8 and 9 and Comparative Examples 8 to 10. For interlayer films containing a heat ray reflective film in at least one of the first and second regions, the heat ray reflective film was disposed as an intermediate layer between two surface layers (containing the components in the table).

[0315] In Examples 10 to 12 and Comparative Examples 11 to 15, multiple types of pigments or heat-shielding materials were used.

[0316] In Examples 13 and 14, an interlayer film was produced in which the thickness at one end was greater than the thickness at the other end (an interlayer film having a wedge-shaped cross section in the thickness direction).

[0317] (evaluation) (1) Light transmittance at wavelengths of 850 nm and 950 nm (T850 and T950) The light transmittance of the obtained laminated glass at wavelengths of 850 nm and 950 nm was measured using a spectrophotometer ("U-4100" manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation).

[0318] In the laminated glasses obtained in Examples 1 to 14, the light transmittance at wavelengths of 850 nm and 950 nm differed by 5% or more between the region where the pigment or heat-shielding material was present and the region where it was not present, and therefore the laminated glasses obtained in Examples 1 to 14 had a first region and a second region.

[0319] On the other hand, the laminated glasses obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 8 and 11 to 13 did not have regions in which the light transmittance differed by 5% or more at any wavelength within the range of 380 nm to 2500 nm. Therefore, the laminated glasses obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 8 and 11 to 13 did not have a first region and a second region. In the tables described below, to make it easier to compare Examples and Comparative Examples, the comparative examples are also shown as having a first region and a second region.

[0320] The difference between the light transmittance at a wavelength of 850 nm in the second region and the light transmittance at a wavelength of 850 nm in the first region (difference in light transmittance between the first and second regions: ΔT850) was also calculated.The difference between the light transmittance at a wavelength of 950 nm in the second region and the light transmittance at a wavelength of 950 nm in the first region (difference in light transmittance between the first and second regions: ΔT950) was also calculated.

[0321] (2)Visible light transmittance The visible light transmittance of the obtained laminated glass in the wavelength range of 380 nm to 780 nm was measured using a spectrophotometer (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation's "U-4100") in accordance with JIS R3106: 1998. The visible light transmittance was measured in each of the first and second regions of the laminated glass.

[0322] (3) Solar transmittance The solar direct transmittance (Tds) of the obtained laminated glass at wavelengths of 300 nm to 2500 nm was measured using a spectrophotometer (Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation's "U-4100") in accordance with JIS R3106: 1998. The solar transmittance was measured for each of the first and second regions of the laminated glass.

[0323] (4) Hue The L of the obtained laminated glass * a * b * a in color system * , b * was measured in accordance with JIS Z8781-4:2013. * and b * was measured in each of the first and second regions of the laminated glass.

[0324] The configurations of the laminated glass and the results are shown in Tables 1 to 10 below.

[0325] [Table 1]

[0326] [Table 2]

[0327] [Table 3]

[0328] [Table 4]

[0333] [Table 9]

[0334] [Table 10]

[0335] The laminated glasses obtained in Examples 1 to 14 have high infrared transmittance (T850 and T950) in the second region, and therefore, when a remote sensing device capable of irradiating infrared rays is used, the second region can effectively transmit the infrared rays irradiated from the remote sensing device. Furthermore, the laminated glasses obtained in Examples 1 to 14 have low solar transmittance in the first region, and therefore, can enhance the heat-shielding properties in the first region. As a result, the laminated glasses obtained in Examples 1 to 14 can effectively transmit the infrared rays irradiated from the remote sensing device and can enhance the heat-shielding properties.

[0336] In contrast, the laminated glass obtained in Comparative Example 1 was able to increase infrared transmittance (T850 and T950), but its high solar transmittance made it difficult to improve its heat-shielding properties. The laminated glasses obtained in Comparative Examples 2 to 3 and 5 to 15 had low infrared transmittance (T850 and T950), making it difficult to effectively transmit infrared rays emitted from remote sensing devices. Furthermore, the laminated glasses obtained in Comparative Examples 4 and 5 also had high solar transmittance, making it difficult to improve their heat-shielding properties.
