Abstract

A method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass including an outer and inner glass plate and an interlayer sandwiched between the outer and the inner glass plate, the method including providing the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate; forming a solar-control coating on a surface of at least one of the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate; heating the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate; hot-bending the heated outer glass plate and the heated inner glass plate respectively to obtain a glass-plate shape suitable for a subsequent pairing; pairing the hot-bent outer glass plate and the hot-bent inner glass plate, and inserting the interlayer between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate to form an assembly; and heating and pressurizing the assembly to laminate the outer glass plate, the interlayer, and the inner glass plate together to form a laminated glass.

Claims (26)

1 . A method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass comprising an outer glass plate, an inner glass plate and an interlayer sandwiched between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate, the method comprising:

providing the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate;

forming a solar-control coating on a surface of at least one of the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate;

heating the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate;

hot-bending the heated outer glass plate and the heated inner glass plate respectively to obtain a glass-plate shape suitable for a subsequent pairing;

pairing the hot-bent outer glass plate and the hot-bent inner glass plate, and inserting the interlayer between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate to form an assembly; and

heating and pressurizing the assembly to laminate the outer glass plate, the interlayer, and the inner glass plate together to form a laminated glass.

2 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein forming solar-control coatings with different emissivities on a surface of the outer glass plate and a surface of the inner glass plate, respectively.

3 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein forming the solar-control coating comprises: forming a laminated structure of at least one metal layer and at least one dielectric layer.

4 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein forming the solar-control coating comprises forming an infrared reflective coating or a low-emissivity coating.

5 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 4 , wherein the low-emissivity coating is formed by a magnetron sputtering method.

6 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate are respectively hot-bent under different hot-bending parameters.

7 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate are respectively hot-bent against a bending mold, and wherein a high-temperature resistant polymer mixture is provided on a surface of the bending mold in contact with the glass plates.

8 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 7 , wherein the high-temperature resistant polymer mixture is a mixture of a high-temperature resistant polymer and a metal yarn, and wherein the high-temperature resistant polymer is selected from poly-p-phenylene benzobisoxazole fiber or poly-p-phenylene terephthalamide fiber.

9 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein, before heating the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate, the method further comprises:

forming an ink layer containing solar-radiation reflective particles on an edge area of at least one surface of the outer glass plate and/or the inner glass plate.

10 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 9 , wherein the solar-radiation reflective particles are near-infrared reflective particles.

11 . The method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 , wherein, before heating the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate, the method further comprises:

forming a coating comprising carbon black, graphite, or a mixture of carbon black and graphite on the solar-control coating.

12 . A solar-control laminated glass manufactured according to the method for manufacturing a solar-control laminated glass according to claim 1 .

13 . The solar-control laminated glass according to claim 12 , wherein the solar-control laminated glass comprises the outer glass plate, the inner glass plate, and the interlayer sandwiched between the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate, and wherein a surface of at least one of the outer glass plate and the inner glass plate is provided with a solar-control coating.

14 . The solar-control laminated glass according to claim 13 , wherein both of a surface of the outer glass plate and a surface of the inner glass plate are provided with a solar-control coating, and wherein the solar-control coating on the surface of the outer glass plate has a different emissivity from that of the solar-control coating on the surface of the inner glass plate.

15 . The solar-control laminated glass according to claim 13 , wherein the solar-control coating is an infrared reflective coating or a low-emissivity coating.

16 . The solar-control laminated glass according to claim 15 , wherein a surface of the outer glass plate or the inner glass plate facing the interlayer is provided with the infrared reflective coating.

17 . The solar-control laminated glass according to claim 15 , wherein a surface of the inner glass plate away from the interlayer is provided with the low-emissivity coating.

18 . The solar-control laminated glass according to claim 15 , wherein a surface of the outer glass plate facing the interlayer is provided with the infrared reflective coating, and a surface of the inner glass plate away from the interlayer is provided with the low-emissivity coating.
