  • Publication number: 20110123734
    Abstract: A vacuum glass structure comprising two glass substrates maintained at an substantially constant interval by a glass frit paste sealingly adhering to the peripheries thereof, forming a hermetically sealed vacuum room. A receiving gap is formed at the periphery of the glass substrate. The internal surface of the glass structure further includes an air chamber and a glass tube groove for receiving a pumping tube. The pumping tube can be placed inside the receiving gap with the internal end of the pumping tube extending from the receiving gap through the glass tube groove into the air chamber. The external end of the pumping tube constitutes a hermetic seal retained within the geometric boundary of the receiving gap. The air chamber structure may improve air transferring efficiency and prevents problems such as blockage in the pumping tube, thus enabling an increase in production yield.
