Laminated Glass Interlayer Film Recess Pattern for Deaeration and Ghosting
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Laminated glass with interlayer films containing multiple resin layers experiences ghosting due to projections and recesses on the film's surface, which interfere with the interface during the production process, leading to light interference phenomena and deaeration issues.
Innovation Solution
The interlayer film features a large number of recesses and projections on at least one surface, with recesses having a groove shape and being regularly arranged in parallel, enhancing deaeration properties while preventing ghosting by optimizing the pattern and depth of these features.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If projections and recesses are formed on the surface of the interlayer film to improve deaeration properties, then deaeration efficiency is improved, but ghosting occurs due to light interference at the resin layer interface
Solution Approach 1:
The recesses are designed with specific local characteristics: groove shape with continuous bottom, regular parallel arrangement, controlled depth (10-40 μm), and specific interval (1000-1500 μm). These localized quality specifications ensure effective deaeration channels while controlling light interference to prevent ghosting.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention optimizes multiple parameters of the recesses simultaneously: depth (10-40 μm), interval (1000-1500 μm), shape (groove with continuous bottom), and arrangement (regular parallel). By carefully controlling these parameters, the design achieves both excellent deaeration properties and prevention of ghosting effects.
2Productivity
If recesses with groove shape and continuous bottom are regularly arranged in parallel to enhance deaeration, then deaeration properties are significantly improved, but the complexity of surface pattern design increases
Solution Approach 1:
The surface is segmented into multiple identical recess units arranged in a regular parallel pattern. This segmentation approach simplifies the embossing tool design while achieving complex deaeration functionality across the entire interlayer film surface.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of creating complex three-dimensional structures, the invention uses simple groove-shaped recesses with continuous bottoms. This inverted approach—using simpler geometric forms—achieves the desired deaeration effect without requiring complex surface patterns.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
This design ensures excellent deaeration properties during the production of laminated glass and effectively suppresses ghosting, maintaining the glass's appearance and functionality.
Implementation Method 1
a laminate at least including an interlayer film for laminated glass interposed between two glass plates are passed through nip rolls for deaeration (squeeze deaeration) or put in a rubber bag and vacuum suctioned (vacuum deaeration) to be pressure-bonded while the air remaining between the glass plate and the interlayer film is removed
Implementation Method 2
ghosting is caused by projections and recesses formed on the surface of the interlayer film for laminated glass
