METHOD FOR FORMING A VENT PORT IN A GLASS PANEL, AND GLASS PANEL PRODUCT MANUFACTURED USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for forming a vent port in a glass panel and to a glass panel product manufactured using the same. The present invention relates to a method for forming a vent port in a glass panel having no protruding vent pipe, such that the vent port for discharging gas from a sealed space to the outside is formed in either one of a pair of plate glasses which are separated from each other in a thickness direction to form the sealed space therebetween, wherein the method comprises the following steps: forming an exhaust hole in either one of the plate glasses; vertically inserting a vent-pipe-type sealing material into the upper portion of the exhaust hole; discharging gas from a space between the plate glasses to the outside; heating the sealant member such that the sealing material is converted into a fluid and the exhaust hole is closed by the sealing material having collapsed after being heated; and solidifying the sealing material remaining in the exhaust hole, thereby ensuring good sealing properties without using a protruding vent pipe.
