Definitions

  • the invention relates to a safety switching device for power-operated equipment, such as rolling shutters, rolling grilles, lifting, working platforms, work tables and the like, for power-operated machines, such as robots and automated guided vehicle systems and power-operated windows, doors, sliding systems, etc., especially of motor vehicles according to the Features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • power-operated equipment such as rolling shutters, rolling grilles, lifting, working platforms, work tables and the like
  • power-operated machines such as robots and automated guided vehicle systems and power-operated windows, doors, sliding systems, etc.
  • Optical fibers are well known. They are already as an element of a safety switching device in the Magazine "f + h - promote and lift” 36 (1986) No. 2, from page 106 been described.
  • the optical fiber described in this paper in connection with driverless transport systems and robots has a core made of glass and having a high refractive index. Arranged around the glass fiber is an outer layer with a low refractive index, which in turn is surrounded by a protective coating.
  • the light passes through the conductor directly and through reflections at the boundary layer. With a sharp curvature of the conductor, the light loses the ability to follow the sharp radii of the core. Part of the light leaves the core and enters the outer layer.
  • Such an optical waveguide is therefore suitable for the low-loss conduction of light, but less as a switching element of a safety switching device. He can not meet the requirements of today's power plants, machines, etc., because even with low forces on the optical fiber a clear switching signal is to be generated, which can also be registered very quickly.
  • a generic optical waveguide is known, Patent Abstracts of Japan Vol. 007, No. 104 (M.212), May 6, 1983 JP 58 026621 A (Nissan Jidosha KK), February 17, 1983 , which is intended for installation in the sealing rubber of a vehicle window.
  • the outer wall of the optical waveguide is made of a thermosetting resin, wherein the Lichtleitkern consists of a transparent liquid.
  • JP-07151615 discloses a safety switching device disclosing all features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a safety switching device for various applications available that meets all safety requirements, reacts to low pressure forces, and already low pressure forces lead to a clear switching pulse.
  • the object of the invention is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1 and the method claim 7.
  • the optical waveguide according to the invention passes directly through the crystal-clear material and reflections at the boundary layer between the Lichtleitkern and the outer wall, the light along the conductor, with a high refractive index or refractive index is provided for the Lichtleitkern, so that a low-loss line takes place and the outer wall with a low or a lower refractive index or refractive index is configured.
  • the change in the light pipe along the optical waveguide or the change in the light intensity arriving at the light sensor is caused by the fact that the optical fiber core and the outer wall are elastically deformable and elastically deform when pressure is applied.
  • the light guide core gel in particular silicone gel or other plastics.
  • These materials have a high refractive index or refractive index, but are still deformable.
  • the base material of the silicone gel is fluid and flowable, so that the material can be processed well and can also be well introduced into the outer wall, followed by hardening or solidification, without causing bubbles to form, so that subsequently Material is present, which is elastically yielding.
  • the light source and the light sensor are proposed to have plug-like extensions which are sealingly inserted into the outer wall. It should be expressly understood that other plastics can be used in the context of the invention as a material for the Lichtleitkern.
  • the outer wall is designed as a hose body, which is preferably made of a thermoplastic material.
  • a thermoplastic hose body meets the demand for lower refractive index or refractive index than the materials for the Lichtleitkern and can be manufactured and used in any length and size.
  • this thermoplastic tubular body is elastically deformable, so that occurs by squeezing this optical waveguide according to the invention a very strong change in the light pipe along the conductor.
  • the outer wall may also be made according to the invention of an elastomeric or thermoplastic elastomeric material, of rubber, of a thermoplastic material, of a polymeric material or other plastic. It should be expressly understood that the invention is not limited to the materials described for the optical fiber core and the outer wall. It can be used all materials that meet the requirements described for elasticity, processability and the corresponding refractive index, also called refractive index or refractive index. Furthermore, it is important that the materials for the light guide core and the outer wall are crystal clear.
  • the hose body may be surrounded by a protective layer, which ensures both protection against mechanical damage and protection against loss of light or intrusion of extraneous light.
  • This protective layer must also be elastic and must not hinder the elasticity of the optical fiber core and / or the outer wall.
  • the outer wall formed as a hose body and the protective layer and a protective layer or a protective body may be used, which has on its inside a material order, which forms the outer wall and takes over their function.
  • Such an optical waveguide can also be extruded together as a unit, for example in a triplex extrusion.
  • the optical waveguide has a rectangular cross-section, so that it can easily be assigned to any closing edges.
  • the optical waveguide can also be strip-like or strip-like and adhesively attached to closing edges. It can either flat ribbon-like Tube body are used or films that are sealed laterally before or after filling the material for the Lichtleitkern. It should be noted, however, that it is not absolutely necessary to laterally close the films or tapes after applying the material for the Lichtleitkern, since the light at the light source can also be bundled so that lateral light losses are of subordinate importance.
  • the optical waveguide can be produced by possibly filling in a tube with silicone gel or another plastic in a flowable state by means of pressure, the silicone gel or the plastic subsequently solidifying to form an elastically deformable mass or cures. Such solidification or hardening is possible without formation of bubbles, which could disturb the light pipe. There is also an adhesive-like attachment of the silicone gel on the inner wall of the tube, so that such an optical waveguide can also be portioned arbitrarily.
  • films are used, the light-conducting material being applied on one side of a film, the further film being applied over it and strip or ribbon-like optical waveguides being severed or cut off after hardening or solidification of the light-conducting material.
  • One of the films can also be provided with an adhesive strip, so that a simple and cost-effective attachment of such an optical waveguide to a closing edge is possible.
  • 1 generally designates an optical waveguide having a Lichtleitkern 2 and an outer wall 3 designed as a tubular body.
  • the light guide core 2 comprises gel, in particular silicone gel or other plastics, these materials being introduced in the liquid state into the outer wall 3 designed as a hose body.
  • a corresponding optical waveguide can be produced.
  • a protective layer 4 is attached to the outer wall 3, which may also be designed as an elastic tube or as a coating or coating.
  • the optical waveguide is shown with a circular cross-section.
