Abstract

An emitter system for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths, a glass cutting device for processing laminated glass panels of different widths with such an emitter system, a manufacturing method for such an emitter system, and a use of such an emitter system for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths. The emitter system includes a plurality of elongated emitters. The elongated emitters are arranged one behind the other on a common longitudinal axis. The elongated emitters each have two ends, which are angled in relation to the common longitudinal axis. The emitter system is arranged in a glass cutting device.

Claims (27)

1 . An emitter system for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths, which comprises a plurality of elongated emitters arranged one behind the other on a common longitudinal axis, wherein the elongated emitters each have two ends which are angled in relation to the common longitudinal axis, and wherein the emitter system is configured to be arranged in a glass cutting device.

2 . The emitter system according to claim 1 , wherein the emitters each have a heating coil for heating and/or softening a plastic film inside a laminated glass panel.

3 . The emitter system according to claim 2 , wherein the ends of each emitter angled in relation to the common longitudinal axis have a bending radius with a vertex and the heating coils in the emitters extend along the common longitudinal axis and beyond the vertices of the bending radii.

4 . The emitter system according to claim 1 , wherein the emitter system comprises at least 3 and/or at most 10 elongated emitters.

5 . The emitter system according to claim 1 , wherein the emitters have a length of at least 200 mm and/or at most 1,200 mm.

6 . The emitter system according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of elongated emitters are all of equal length.

7 . The emitter system according to claim 1 , wherein the power density of the emitter system is between 30 and 50 W/cm 2 .

8 . The emitter system according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the emitters comprises a light exit slit and a reflector, wherein the reflector reflects radiation emitted by the emitter in the direction of the reflector back in the direction of the light exit slit.

9 . A glass cutting device for processing laminated glass panels of different widths with an emitter system according to claim 1 , wherein the emitter system is arranged in the glass cutting device comprises at least three emitters.

10 . The glass cutting device according to claim 9 , further comprising a control unit which is configured to switch individual emitters on and off.

11 . The glass cutting device according to claim 10 , further comprising a sensor which is configured to record the width of a laminated glass panel to be processed and to provide this width as input for the control unit.

12 . The glass cutting device according to claim 9 , further comprising a cutting device for cutting laminated glass panels of different widths along a cutting axis parallel to the common longitudinal axis of the elongated emitters of the emitter system.

13 . The glass cutting device according to claim 9 , wherein each individual emitter has a length which is smaller than the width of a laminated glass panel to be irradiated.

14 . A manufacturing method for an emitter system for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths, comprising the following steps:

providing a plurality of elongated emitters, and

arranging the emitters in a glass cutting device one behind the other on a common longitudinal axis,

wherein the elongated emitters each have two ends, which are angled in relation to the common longitudinal axis.

15 . A method of using the emitter system according to claim 1 for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths.

16 . An emitter system for the irradiation of laminated glass panels of different widths, the system comprising:

at least three elongated emitters arranged one behind the other on a common longitudinal axis, wherein the elongated emitters each have two ends which are angled in relation to the common longitudinal axis and which have a bending radius with a vertex;

a heating coil disposed in each of the emitters for heating and/or softening a plastic film inside a laminated glass panel, each of the heating coils extending along the common longitudinal axis and beyond the vertices of the bending radii; and

a light exit slit and a reflector associated with at least one of the emitters, wherein the reflector reflects radiation emitted by the emitter in the direction of the reflector back in the direction of the light exit slit,

wherein the emitter system is configured to be arranged in a glass cutting device.

17 . The emitter system according to claim 16 , wherein the emitter system comprises at most 10 elongated emitters.

18 . The emitter system according to claim 16 , wherein the emitters have a length of at least 200 mm and/or at most 1,200 mm.

19 . The emitter system according to claim 16 , wherein the plurality of elongated emitters are all of equal length.

20 . The emitter system according to claim 16 , wherein the power density of the emitter system is between 30 and 50 W/cm 2 .
