Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung für den Gasaustausch bei Mehrscheiben-Isolierglaseinheiten und deren Benutzung.The invention relates to a device for gas exchange in multi-pane insulating glass units and their use.

Aus den Dokumenten DE-C-25 55 383 und DE-C-25 55 384 sind Isolierglasscheiben bekannt, deren Abstandhalter aus einem Dichtstoffgemisch bestehen. Aufgrund der Konsistenz des Abstandhaltermaterials konnte bei solchen Isolierglasscheiben bisher nur in speziellen Pressen, wie sie z.B. aus dem Dokument DE-A-41 00 697 bekannt sind, ein Austausch der zwischen den Isolierglasscheiben eingeschlossenen Gase vorgenommen werden. Dabei ist zum einen mit Verlusten an den teuren oder umweltschädigenden Füllgasen zu rechnen, zum anderen ist der erreichte Austauschgrad der Gase verbesserungsfähig. Weiterhin können solche Isolierglasscheiben bisher nicht an andere Druckverhältnisse angepaßt werden und unterliegen einer konvexen oder konkaven Verformung der Scheiben je nach Änderung des Außendrucks gegenüber den Druckverhältnissen bei der Herstellung.From the documents DE-C-25 55 383 and DE-C-25 55 384 insulating glass panes are known, the spacers of which consist of a sealant mixture. Due to the consistency of the spacer material, such insulating glass panes could previously only be used in special presses, e.g. are known from document DE-A-41 00 697, an exchange of the gases enclosed between the insulating glass panes can be carried out. On the one hand, losses in the expensive or environmentally harmful filling gases are to be expected, on the other hand, the degree of exchange of the gases can be improved. Furthermore, insulating glass panes of this type have hitherto not been able to be adapted to other pressure conditions and are subject to convex or concave deformation of the panes, depending on the change in the external pressure in relation to the pressure conditions during manufacture.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, mit der die geschilderten Nachteile vermieden werden können.The invention has for its object to provide a device with which the disadvantages described can be avoided.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch eine Vorrichtung für den Gasaustausch bei Mehrscheiben-Isolierglaseinheiten mit Dichtstoffabstandhaltern gelöst, die aus einem rohrförmigen Werkzeug besteht, das an einem Ende wie ein Stopfenbohrer angeschärft und am anderen Ende mit einem Griffbereich versehen ist, an dem sich ein Anschlußstück für eine Vorrichtung zum Gasaustausch befindet, wobei Öffnungen in der Wandung des rohrförmigen Werkzeugs in dem zwischen dem angeschärften Ende und dem Griffbereich liegenden Teil angeordnet sind.According to the invention the object is achieved by a device for gas exchange in multi-pane insulating glass units with sealant spacers, which consists of a tubular tool that is sharpened at one end like a plug drill and provided at the other end with a grip area on which there is a connector for a device for gas exchange, openings being arranged in the wall of the tubular tool in the part lying between the sharpened end and the grip area.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist folgende Vorteile auf:

  • 1. Der Scheibenzwischenraum wird beim Anbohren nicht verschmutzt.
  • 2. Der Abstandhalter wird nicht bleibend verformt, da die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung das ausgebohrte Material aufnimmt.
  • 3. Die Vorrichtung dient gleichzeitig als Füll- bzw Absaugdüse, wodurch eine rationelle Gasbefüllung ohne Werkzeugwechsel durchführbar ist.
  • 4. Beim Herausziehen der Vorrichtung erfolgt ein schneller und sicherer Verschluß der Öffnung durch das Einsetzen des ausgebohrten Stopfens in den Bohrkanal.
  • 5. Gasverluste werden minimiert und es kann auf einen nachträglichen Verschluß des Bohrkanals durch Mieten oder Stopfen verzichtet werden.
  • 6. Die Anwendungsstelle genügt ästhetischen Anforderungen, da nach dem Gasaustausch auch bei schneller Arbeitsweise das ausgebohrte Material wieder sauber in den Bohrkanal eingesetzt wird.
  • 7. Die Vorrichtung reinigt sich beim Herausziehen selbsttätig, so daß sofort mit der Befüllung der nächsten Einheit begonnen werden kann.
  • 8. Der Gasaustausch kann sowohl vor Aufbringung der Sekundärversiegelung als auch danach mit der gleichen Vorrichtung erfolgen. Im letztgenannten Fall sind keine Aussparungen an der Füllstelle nötig, da die Vorrichtung das Elastomer ausschneidet. Nach Entfernen der Vorrichtung verbleibt der aus Sekundärversiegelung und Dichtstoff bestehende Stopfen in der Tiefe versetzt im Bohrkanal, so daß wie üblich nachversiegelt werden kann.
  • 9. Die Vorrichtung gestattet deshalb auch die nachträgliche Anpassung des Scheibeninnendrucks an gegenüber den Herstellungsbedingungen geänderte Druckverhältnisse.
The device according to the invention has the following advantages:
  • 1. The space between the panes is not contaminated when tapping.
  • 2. The spacer is not permanently deformed, since the device according to the invention picks up the drilled out material.
  • 3. The device also serves as a filling or suction nozzle, as a result of which an efficient gas filling can be carried out without changing tools.
  • 4. When the device is pulled out, the opening is closed quickly and securely by inserting the drilled plug into the drilling channel.
  • 5. Gas losses are minimized and there is no need to subsequently close the drill channel by renting or plugging.
  • 6. The application site satisfies aesthetic requirements, since after the gas exchange, even in the case of a fast method of working, the drilled material is reinserted cleanly into the drill channel.
  • 7. The device cleans itself automatically when pulled out, so that the next unit can be filled immediately.
  • 8. The gas exchange can take place both before the secondary seal is applied and afterwards with the same device. In the latter case, no recesses are required at the filling point, since the device cuts out the elastomer. After removing the device, the stopper consisting of secondary sealing and sealant remains offset in depth in the drilling channel, so that it can be resealed as usual.
  • 9. The device therefore also permits the subsequent adaptation of the internal pressure of the pane to pressure conditions which have changed compared to the production conditions.

Die Vorrichtung wird vorteilhafterweise in einem Bereich, der etwa der Dicke des Dichtstoffes entspricht, am angeschärften Ende und vor dem Griffbereich nicht mit Öffnungen in der Wandung des rohrförmigen Werkzeugs versehen. Dadurch wird ein Aufnahmebereich für den ausgebohrten Dichtstoffstopfen geschaffen, und es wird beim Gasaustausch ein Verlust von Austauschgas durch das enge Anliegen des Dichtstoffes an die Vorrichtung vermieden.The device is advantageously not provided with openings in the wall of the tubular tool in an area which corresponds approximately to the thickness of the sealant, at the sharpened end and in front of the handle area. This creates a receiving area for the drilled out sealant plug, and a loss of exchange gas is avoided during gas exchange due to the close contact of the sealant with the device.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung besteht darin, daß die Öffnungen in der Wandung des rohrförmigen Werkzeugs bezüglich der Rohrachse senkrechte Bohrungen sind, die jeweils um 90° versetzt zueinander angeordnet sind. Diese Anordnung der Öffnungen erlaubt im Zusammenhang mit dem Verschluß des angeschärften Endes durch den ausgebohrten Dichtstoffstopfen einen sehr günstigen Gasaustausch, wobei eine hohe Stabilität des rohrförmigen Werkzeugs erhalten bleibt.A further advantageous embodiment of the device is that the openings in the wall of the tubular tool are bores perpendicular to the tube axis, which are each offset by 90 ° to one another. This arrangement of the openings in connection with the closure of the sharpened end by the drilled out sealant plug allows a very favorable gas exchange, while maintaining a high stability of the tubular tool.

Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Vorrichtung besteht weiterhin darin, daß am Griffbereich zwei einander gegenüberliegende Stutzen angeordnet sind. Damit kann zum einen eine getrennte Gaszufuhr bzw. Gasableitung erfolgen, zum anderen gestatten die gegenüberliegenden Stutzen auch eine bessere Kraftübertragung zum Einführen bzw. Herausziehen der Vorrichtung durch den Dichtstoff in den Scheibenzwischenraum.An advantageous embodiment of the device also consists in the fact that two opposing nozzles are arranged on the grip area. On the one hand, this allows a separate gas supply or gas discharge, on the other hand, the opposite connecting pieces also allow better power transmission for inserting or withdrawing the device through the sealant into the space between the panes.

Bei der Vorrichtung sollte in vorteilhafter Weise der äußere Rohrdurchmesser des rohrförmigen Werkzeugs etwa dem halben Scheibenabstand entsprechen. Dadurch kann gewährleistet werden, daß bei Benutzung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung die Vorrichtung so durch den Abstandhalter geführt wird, daß es zu keinem Kontakt mit den anliegenden Scheiben kommt. Verschmutzungen der Scheiben mit dem Dichtstoffmaterial des Abstandhalters und Dichtheitsprobleme, die auftreten, wenn der Bohrkanal unmittelbar an einer oder beiden Scheiben anliegt, werden so vermieden. Weiterhin ist durch diese Bemessung der Vorrichtung ein ästhetisch ansprechendes Ergebnis der Anwendungsstelle gesichert.In the device, the outer tube diameter of the tubular tool should advantageously correspond to approximately half the disk spacing. This can ensure that when using the device according to the invention the device is guided through the spacer so that there is no contact with the adjacent panes. Contamination of the disks with the sealing material of the spacer and tightness problems that occur when the drilling channel is in direct contact with one or both disks are thus avoided. Furthermore, this dimensioning of the device ensures an aesthetically pleasing result of the application site.

Die Benutzung der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung erfolgt in der Weise, daß mindestens eine Vorrichtung an mindestens eine Stelle durch den Dichtstoff in den Scheibenzwischenraum eingeführt, anschließend der Gasaustausch vorgenommen und danach der Scheibenzwischenraum durch Herausziehen der Vorrichtung und gleichzeitiges Einsetzen des Bohrstopfens in den Bohrkanal wieder verschlossen wird.The device according to the invention is used in such a way that at least one device is introduced at least one point through the sealant into the space between the panes, then the gas is exchanged and then the space between the panes is closed again by pulling out the device and simultaneously inserting the drill plug into the drill channel.
