The present invention relates to the field of glass manufacturing, in particular to a composite multifunctional glass and a vehicle glass.
A composite multifunctional glass product is a multifunctional laminated glass product formed by adding a composite multifunctional material layer intercalated between layers of a glass product.
Most existing composite multifunctional materials have different thicknesss and are present in the form with flat surfaces. When sandwiched with double-curved glass panes or planar glass panes, the flat surface in particular cannot be completely fitted to the double-curved surface, the sandwiched composite multifunctional material will have a certain degree of wrinkles or wavy lines, and even a problem of cracking at the edge of the glass product due to a stress difference may occur.
An object of the present invention is to provide a composite multifunctional glass and a vehicle glass, so as to solve the problem of wrinkles or wavy lines when a flat composite multifunctional material is sandwiched between double-curved or planar glass panes, as well as the problem of cracking due to a stress difference at the edge of a glass product including a composite multifunctional layer.

In the composite multifunctional glass, the thickness of the composite multifunctional composite layer is greater than that of the second adhesive film layer. During the thermal and high-pressure processing of the composite multifunctional glass product, the first adhesive film layer can be directly pressed against the contacting surface of the composite multifunctional combination layer, so as to smooth out the wrinkles or wavy lines appearing in the composite multifunctional combination layer. Specifically, during the subsequent production, the composite multifunctional combination layer is expanded in all directions through degassing under the negative pressure effect upon vacuuming, and at the same time, the negative pressure enables the first adhesive film layer to be directly pressed against the contacting surface of the composite multifunctional combination layer, such that the wrinkles or wavy lines appearing in the composite multifunctional combination layer are smoothed out. Subsequently, in conjunction with the thermal process, high pressure process and other processes, the flowing characteristics of the first adhesive film layer allow it to fill the gap between the first adhesive film layer and the second adhesive film layer to form a qualified final product.
The composite multifunctional combination layer described in the present invention refers to one or more functional elements or a layered structure including one or more functional elements.

According to the composite multifunctional glass provided in the first aspect of the present invention, preferably, the first glass pane and the second glass pane are used as two surface layers of the composite multifunctional glass product, and may be planar glass panes or double-curved glass panes. More preferably, the double-curved glass panes have a radius of curvature of ≥2,200 mm.

According to the composite multifunctional glass provided in the first aspect of the present invention, in the laminating process, there is a gap between the first adhesive film layer and the second adhesive film layer (with a height H2), such that the first adhesive film layer is not supported by the second adhesive film layer at the edge during the laminating process, and the composite multifunctional material layer can be squeezed, which favors better spreading of the composite multifunctional material layer, so as to avoid the occurrence of wrinkle or wave phenomena on the double-curved glass panes, thereby increasing the yield of finished products. In addition, the laminating process of the composite multifunctional glass is the same as the conventional processes, and is simple and easy to operate.

The height H2 of the gap is equal to the difference between the thickness H of the composite multifunctional combination layer and the thickness H3 of the second adhesive film layer.
In a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the composite multifunctional composite layer is greater than that of the second adhesive film layer. During the thermal and high-pressure processing of the composite multifunctional glass product, the first adhesive film layer can be directly pressed against the contacting surface of the composite multifunctional combination layer, so as to smooth out the wrinkles or wavy lines appearing in the composite multifunctional combination layer.

The height H2′ of the cavity is equal to the difference between the thickness H3 of the second adhesive film layer and the thickness H of the composite multifunctional combination layer.
In this preferred embodiment, the formation of the cavity allows the composite multifunctional layer after lamination to have a space for extension during external vacuuming and external pressurization of the glass product. This reduces the appearance of wrinkles or wavy lines, and also reduces the risk of cracking due to the stress difference at the edge of the composite multifunctional glass product.

More preferably, the double-curved glass panes have a radius of curvature of ≥2,200 mm.
According to the composite multifunctional glass provided in the second aspect of the present invention, preferably, the first adhesive film layer, the second adhesive film layer, and the third adhesive film layer are independently an adhesive film layer formed from PVB (polyvinyl butyral), EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), PU (polyurethane) and the like.
In a third aspect of the present invention, provided is a vehicle glass comprising the composite multifunctional glass provided in the first aspect or the second aspect, for example, a front window glass, a rear window glass, a side window glass, a sunroof glass or the like.
In the composite multifunctional glass provided in the second aspect of the present invention, in the laminating process, the thickness of the second adhesive film layer is determined by the thickness H of the composite multifunctional layer and the proportional relationship between the area S1 of the composite multifunctional layer and the area S2 of the composite multifunctional glass product. By choosing the thickness H3 of the second adhesive film layer, problems can be solved by the following advantages:
(1) When H<0.15 mm and/or S1/S2≤0.5, H3<H, H3=0, in the laminating process, a vacancy with a height that is consistent or substantially consistent with H is formed between the first adhesive film layer and the second adhesive film layer, such that the first adhesive film layer is not supported by the second adhesive film layer at the edge in the laminating process, and the composite multifunctional material layer can be squeezed, which favors better spreading of the composite multifunctional material layer to avoid the occurrence of wrinkle or wave phenomena in the double-curved glass panes.
(2) When 0.5<S1/ S2<0.98 and H>0.15 mm, the thickness H3 of the second adhesive film layer, H, S1 and S2 satisfy the following relationship: 0<H3≤H (S1/S2+0.2). When H3<H, a gap with a height H2 is formed between the first adhesive film layer and the second adhesive film layer. In the thermal process, the first adhesive film layer is in contact with and pressed against the composite multifunctional combination layer, such that the wrinkles or wavy lines of the composite multifunctional combination layer that may occur in a curved product are smoothed out. Also, in the thermal process, high pressure process and other processes, the flowing characteristics of the first adhesive film layer and the third adhesive film layer allow them to fill the gap between the first adhesive film layer and the second adhesive film layer, and a qualified final product is formed.
(3) When 0.5<S1/S2<0.98 and H>0.15 mm, the thickness H3 of the second adhesive film layer, H, S1 and S2 satisfy the following relationship: 0<H3≤H (S1/S2+0.2). When H3=H, there is no gap between the first adhesive film layer and the second adhesive film layer. When the edge of the composite multifunctional combination layer is close to the edge of the glass product, with the influence of the glass stress, the glass product is subjected to external pressure during the processing. This approach solves the problem of highly susceptible cracking at the edge positions along the composite multifunctional layer.
(4) When 0.5<S1/S2<0.98 and H>0.15 mm, the thickness H3 of the second adhesive film layer, H, S1 and S2 satisfy the following relationship: 0<H3≤H(S1/S2+0.2). When H3>H, a cavity with a height H2′ is formed between the composite multifunctional layer and the first adhesive film layer. The formation of the cavity allows the composite multifunctional layer after lamination to have a space for extension during the external vacuuming and external pressurization of the glass product, which reduces the appearance of wrinkle or wave phenomena and also reduces the risk of cracking due to the stress difference at the edge of the composite multifunctional glass product.
The present invention can well solve the wrinkle or wave phenomena currently occurred frequently upon laminating a composite multifunctional layer between double-curved glass panes, improve the total yield of finished products, and solve the problem of edge cracking appearing in glass products having a composite multifunctional layer.
