[China Aluminum Network] With the development of China's construction industry, aluminum alloy doors and windows have also been rapidly developed in recent years. In the rapid development of aluminum alloy doors and windows at the same time its quality issues have become increasingly prominent. The main problems are focused on the quality of the profile itself, thermal insulation strips, hardware fittings, and corner strength and sealing of doors and windows. Today, we talk about the corner-reinforcement and sealing problems common to those aluminum alloy doors and windows that use corner connections.
At present, there are many people who mistakenly believe that the production of aluminum alloy doors and windows as long as the cutting equipment cutting precision is high, with a proper corner code, combined with a fixed angle of the unit angle, it can make the aluminum alloy door and window corner strength and sealing performance Claim. In fact, most of the aluminum alloy doors and windows using corner connections are produced using this process. This simple mechanically fixed connection is a rigid connection that is difficult to adapt to the various forces encountered by the doors and windows during production, transportation, installation and long-term use without being damaged.
First of all, we need to understand the physical properties of aluminum alloy profiles.
Aluminum alloy profiles have the same temperature differential stress as any other material. Thermal stress refers to the stress caused by a change in temperature of a material, usually a linear expansion/contraction coefficient.
We can calculate the dimensional change of the aluminum alloy profile in the normal use temperature range, that is, the linear expansion/contraction rate formula is as follows: L = L0 (1 + Α ΔT) where: L: the length after the change L0: the original length Α: the expansion/contraction coefficient For aluminum alloy profiles, in the range of -40°C+50°C, the value is 2.4×10-5/°C. ΔT: Calculate the variation of temperature (in Celsius) Example: The original length of aluminum alloy is 1 m, the temperature change value is +50°C-40°C=90°CL=1M (1+2.4×10-5°C×90°C)=1.00216M
That is to say: 1 meter long aluminum alloy profiles will produce a 2.16 MM length change at 90°C. For aluminum alloy doors and windows with only rigidly connected corner strengths, this amount of change will have a destructive effect, causing the misalignment or deformation of the positions of the parts at the corners of the doors and windows, which is reflected in the corners of the doors and windows is undoubtedly a fatal flaw. . This kind of defect is that there is no way to make up for any rigid connection between a bolt or a cornering machine.
Secondly, during the production and installation of aluminum alloy doors and windows, due to movement errors during handling, transportation, and installation, and after installation of doors and windows, aluminum alloy doors and windows have to withstand their own weight for a long time, and withstand the deformation of window openings and building walls. Stress errors, switching spikes, wind pressure, environmental sound waves, and other peak shocks and vibrations of different frequencies, which sometimes induce resonance in doors and windows, affect the overall strength of doors and windows.
All of these reasons will cause the gaps in the corners of windows and doors to gradually increase and dislocate over time, resulting in airtightness, watertightness, sound insulation, and dust-reducing performance of doors and windows. In severe cases, doors and windows will also be deformed and have undesirable consequences. At present, more and more engineering disputes have arisen, which has seriously affected the overall reputation and image of aluminum alloy high-quality doors and windows.
In fact, the aluminum alloy doors and windows of the corner strength and sealing as long as the use of special aluminum alloy doors and windows can be corner glue, but unfortunately most of the windows and doors and the developers, administrative departments and related building design, supervision and other units do not really understand The special role of glue to improve the overall quality of doors and windows. Some door and window assembly plants did not use adhesives or mistakenly used glass adhesives, structural adhesives, and epoxy adhesives as aluminum alloy door and window adhesives. At present, there are three types of plastics that are often posing as corner glues on the market:
1, glass glue, also known as silicone sealant; poor adhesion to aluminum alloy, poor weatherability, easy aging, low hardness, too much elasticity, the colloid does not swell when cured, can not make the corners and the cavity closely Connected to one.
2. The structural adhesive has poor adhesion to the aluminum alloy, has a long curing time, has a lot of odor in the product, does not swell when cured, and cannot produce high strength.
3. Epoxy adhesive has no elasticity after being cured, it cannot adapt to the form of microseism, easy to be crisped and broken, and the long-term strength is not enough after the corners of the assembly, and cracking and dregsing will occur.
Why do we advocate the need to use a special group of corner glue? Because the special aluminum alloy door and window corner glue has the following characteristics:
1. The colloid is a modified polyurethane-based adhesive that does not contain solvents and meets environmental protection requirements.
2, the initial curing time is short, about 10 minutes, help to improve production efficiency. Divided into single and two-component type, it is more suitable for the requirements of the two processes of “corner-coded plastic plugging and corner integral injectionâ€.
3, the hardness after curing is very high, but not brittle, with low elasticity and excellent waterproof performance, so that the corner and the profile of the cavity wall adhesion for the tough connection, so as to make up for, reduce the window corner of the various deformation, cracking situation Effectively solve the leakage problem at the corners of doors and windows.
4. After the single-component adhesive rubber is fully cured, the shear strength of the effective adhesive part of the corner and profile cavity can reach 10.3N/MM2, and the adhesive strength of the two-component adhesive can reach 18N/MM2. , greatly enhance the window angle strength. That is to say, the shear angle strength of ordinary 60 series profiles in China can exceed.
5. The colloid slightly foams and expands during the curing process to form an elastic pad between the metal and the metal, which effectively weakens the transmission of various forces and functions as a shock absorber and a cushion.
6, strong weather resistance, ability to -40 °C +80 °C temperature changes, colloidal white or translucent, the colloids will not turn yellow in the short term. The two-component adhesive can withstand 30 minutes at a high temperature of 230°C and is suitable for post-processing applications such as powder coating.
7, with the special cleaning agent, a small amount of plastic spill is easy to clean, will not damage the surface of the coating and paint surface, non-toxic environmental protection.
The author believes that a large number of Germany's "Wei Shi" series of adhesives and related accessory products currently used in the market are designed for aluminum alloy door and window corner structure reinforcement and sealing, and are suitable for various assembly angle requirements. The smarter choice of window and door factories and developers.
Foyer Light is a type of lighting fixture used for decorating and illuminating entrance halls. It is typically installed on the ceiling and can be in the form of a chandelier, Semi-flush Mount, Wall Sconce, or ceiling fan light. The design of Foyer Light is often elaborate, and can be made of materials such as crystal, glass, metal, and can feature intricate patterns and decorations. It not only provides ample lighting, but also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to the entrance hall.
The specific choice of Foyer Light also depends on the type of decoration effect suitable for various lamps and lanterns. However, it is generally necessary to meet the effect of the atmosphere and grade, and the current modern and simple Foyer Light is more popular, and the Lighting Fixture material is generally made of metal, stainless steel or acrylic. The installation method can be installed by ceiling or hanging wire, and the selection of lamps and lanterns should also be comprehensively considered from the later maintenance and management methods.
