Abstract

The invention relates to an antiglare device containing an active filter element (11) with an influenceable light transmission, for example, a liquid crystal cell. The inventive device also contains an electronic circuit (3) for evaluating the output signal of a light sensor (5) and for controlling the filter element (11). Said circuit (3) is mounted on the inner surface (22) of a printed circuit board (2). A shielding element (4) comprised of an electrically conductive material for shielding a part (31) of the electronic circuit (3) against electromagnetic radiation is fastened to the same inner surface (22). Thanks to the shielding element (4), the evaluating circuit (31) can be configured so that it is extremely sensitive without the risk of it being excessively disturbed by electromagnetic influences. The shielding element (4) keeps both interfering electromagnetic influences, which come from the surroundings (91) of the antiglare device, as well as interfering electromagnetic influences, which arise in the antiglare device itself, away from the evaluating circuit (31).

BLENDSCHUTZVORRICHTUNG ANTI-GLARE DEVICE
Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der Blendschutzvorrichtungen, welche bspw. als Sichtfenster für Schweisserschutzmasken, -helme oder -brillen verwendet werden. Sie betrifft eine Blendschutzvorrichtung gemäss Oberbegriff des ersten Patentanspruchs. Ausserdem liegt die Erfindung auf dem Gebiet der elektromagnetischen Verträglichkeit (EMV) und betrifft ein EMV- Abschirmelement zur Verwendung in einer Blendschutzvorrichtung, gemäss Oberbegriff des weiteren unabhängigen Patentanspruchs.The invention is in the field of anti-glare devices which are used, for example, as viewing windows for welding protective masks, helmets or goggles.

Moderne Blendschutzvorrichtungen, welche bspw. als Sichtfenster für Schweisserschutzmasken, -helme und -brillen verwendet werden, enthalten als aktives Filterelement typischerweise mindestens eine Flüssigkristallzelle (Liquid- crystal-Zelle, LC-Zelle), welche den Lichtdurchgang mehr oder weniger sperrt, sobald die Aussenlichtintensität eine vorgegebene Schwelle übersteigt. Zur Detektion der Lichtintensität wird ein Lichtsensor eingesetzt. Eine elektronische Schaltung in der Blendschutzvorrichtung umfasst eine Auswerteschaltung für das Sensorausgangssignal und eine Ansteuerschaltung für die Flüssigkristallzelle.Modern anti-glare devices, which are used, for example, as viewing windows for welding protection masks, helmets and glasses, typically contain at least one liquid crystal cell (liquid crystal cell, LC cell) as an active filter element, which more or less blocks the passage of light as soon as the outside light intensity exceeds a predetermined threshold. A light sensor is used to detect the light intensity. An electronic circuit in the anti-glare device comprises an evaluation circuit for the sensor output signal and a control circuit for the liquid crystal cell.
Der Lichtsensor und die Auswerteschaltung detektieren aus dem Schweisslichtbogen sogenanntes Flackerlicht. Da insbesondere moderne Schweissverfahren mit sehr niedrigen Stromstärken arbeiten, weist das zu detektierende Signal ein extrem niedriges Signal-Rausch- Verhältnis auf. Deshalb ist es schwierig, den Flackerlichtanteil von anderen vorhandenen Lichtanteilen zu unterscheiden und das zu detektierende Signal aus dem Sensorausgangssigna] zu extrahieren Damit die Auswerteschaltung dazu fähig ist, muss sie sehr empfindlich, d h mit hoher Verstärkung, ausgelegt und gebaut werden Solche empfindlichen Auswerteschaltungen haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass sie auch empfindlich gegenüber elektromagnetischen Storsignalen sind Störende elektromagnetische Einflüsse können bspw durch Abstrahlungen von elektrischen Motoren, von Leistungsinvertern (z. B von Schweissanlagen), von Funktelefonen etc entstehenThe light sensor and the evaluation circuit detect so-called flickering light from the welding arc. Since modern welding processes in particular work with very low currents, the signal to be detected has an extremely low signal-to-noise ratio. It is therefore difficult to distinguish the flickering light component from other existing light components and that Extract the signal to be detected from the sensor output signal] In order for the evaluation circuit to be able to do so, it must be designed and built very sensitively, ie with high amplification. However, such sensitive evaluation circuits have the disadvantage that they are also sensitive to electromagnetic interference signals. Interfering electromagnetic influences can occur e.g. caused by radiation from electric motors, from power inverters (e.g. from welding systems), from radio telephones etc.
Bisherige Bemühungen um eine Losung dieses Problems setzten einerseits an der Auswerteschaltung selbst an. Es wurde versucht, diese so auszulegen, dass sie möglichst wenige Stόrsignale aufnimmt, indem bspw kritische Leiterbahnen möglichst kurz gestaltet werden.Previous efforts to solve this problem have started with the evaluation circuit itself. An attempt was made to design it in such a way that it receives as few interference signals as possible, for example by making critical conductor tracks as short as possible.
Andererseits hat man erkannt, dass die Auswerteschaltung auch gegen aussen elektromagnetisch abgeschirmt werden sollte. Dabei konzentrierte man sich bisher auf die „Aussenseite" oder „Vorderseite" der Blendschutzvorrichtung, d h. auf diejenige Seite, welche der Tragerperson abgewandt und der Umgebung, von welcher elektromagnetische Storsignale hauptsachlich erwartet werden, zugewandt ist. Eine übliche Massnahme gegen solche Storsignale besteht darin, nur die nach innen gewandte Flache der Leiterplatte mit elektronischen Komponenten zu bestucken und die nach aussen gewandte Fläche unbestuckt zu lassen, gleichzeitig wird die unbestuckte Aussenflache der Leiterplatte mit elektromagnetischen Abschirmmitteln versehen Solche Abschirmmittel sind typischerweise ein feinmaschiges Gitter aus metallischen Leiterbahnen Diese Massnahmen bringen zwar gewisse Verbesserungen mit sich. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, dass die dadurch erreichte EMV- Abschirmung für besonders empfindliche Schaltungen immer noch unbefriedigend ist. Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, die Auswerteschaltung oder Teile davon besser als durch die bisher üblichen Massnahmen vor elektromagnetischen Storeinflussen oder Storabstrahlungen abzuschirmen Die Aufgabe wird gelost durch die erfindungsgemasse Blendschutzvorrichtung und das erfindungsgemasse Abschirmelement, wie sie in den unabhängigen Patentanspr chen definiert sindOn the other hand, it has been recognized that the evaluation circuit should also be electromagnetically shielded from the outside. So far, one has concentrated on the “outside” or “front” of the anti-glare device, ie. to the side facing away from the wearer and towards the environment from which electromagnetic interference signals are mainly expected. A common measure against such interference signals is to only populate the inward-facing surface of the printed circuit board with electronic components and to leave the outward-facing surface unoccupied; at the same time, the unoccupied outer surface of the printed circuit board is provided with electromagnetic shielding means.

The object is achieved by the anti-glare device according to the invention and the screening element according to the invention as defined in the independent claims
Die Erfindungsidee beruht darauf, die elektronischen Komponenten der Auswerteschaltung nicht nur auf der Seite der unbestuckten Leiterplattenflache („von aussen"), sondern auch auf der Seite der bestuckten Leiterplattenflache („von innen") elektromagnetisch abzuschirmen. Es wird also ein zusatzlicher „Schutz hinter der Front" vorgesehen. Diese erfindungsgemasse Massnahme bringt wesentliche Verbesserungen gegenüber dem bisher üblichen „Schutz an der Front".The idea of the invention is based on electromagnetically shielding the electronic components of the evaluation circuit not only on the side of the bare printed circuit board surface (“from the outside”), but also on the side of the printed circuit board surface (“from the inside”). An additional “protection behind the front” is therefore provided. This measure according to the invention brings about significant improvements compared to the “protection on the front” that has been customary up to now.

On the one hand, as described above, disturbing electromagnetic influences come from the surroundings of the anti-glare device (“external interaction”). On the other hand, it has been shown that disturbing electromagnetic Influences can also arise in the anti-glare device itself, for example in the control circuit for the LC cell.

In manchen Fallen ermöglicht die Erfindung sogar eine Vereinfachung der Auswerteschaltung, weil dank der EMV- Ab schirmung auf bestimmte elektronische Filterelemente verzichtet werden kann Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die Abschirmung die Schaltung nicht nur gegen elektromagnetische Strahlung, sondern auch gegen andere physikalische und/oder chemische Storeinflusse schützt, bspw gegen Schweissausdunstungen der TragerpersonIn some cases, the invention even simplifies the evaluation circuit because, thanks to the EMC shielding, certain electronic filter elements can be dispensed with. Another advantage of the invention is that the shielding protects the circuit not only against electromagnetic radiation, but also against other physical ones and / or protects chemical influences from storages, e.g. against perspiration of the wearer
