Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Elektriker-Gesichtsschutz zum Schutz vor Störlichtbogen mit einer Sichtscheibe für das Arbeiten an- bzw. in der Nähe von elektrischen Anlagen und Betriebsmitteln. Der Elektriker- Gesichtsschutz ist eine persönliche Schutzausrüstung, die meist in Kombination mit einer Kopfbedeckung, vor dem Gesicht getragen wird. Er besteht aus einer durchsichtigen Schutzscheibe die entweder mit einem Tragkörper verbunden oder in Textilmaterialien eingefasst ist.The invention relates to an electrician face shield for protection against arc fault with a lens for working on or near electrical equipment and resources. The electrician's face shield is a personal protective equipment that is worn in front of the face, usually in combination with a headgear. It consists of a transparent protective screen which is either connected to a support body or edged in textile materials.

Der Elektriker-Gesichtsschutz dient dem Schutz vor Verletzungen des Gesichts und der Halspartie des Tragenden beim Auftreten eines Störlichtbogens, der beispielsweise durch Anlagenschäden oder Fehlhandlungen in elektrischen Anlagen ausgelöst werden kann. Er soll vor glühenden Metallspritzern, der heißen Plasmawolke und der Strahlungswärme schützen.The electrician's face shield serves to protect against injuries to the face and neck of the wearer when an arc occurs, which can be triggered, for example, by damage to the equipment or incorrect operation of electrical systems. He should protect against glowing metal splashes, the hot plasma cloud and the radiant heat.

Handelsübliche transparente Visiere aus einem durchsichtigen Kunststoff erfüllen in der Regel den Schutz vor glühenden Metallspritzern und der heißen Plasmawolke.Commercially available transparent visors made of a transparent plastic usually meet the protection against glowing metal splashes and the hot plasma cloud.

Weiterhin sind Visiere bekannt, die durch eine verlängerte Scheibe oder einen flammhemmenden Latz den Halsbereich des Tragenden mit abdecken und somit vor den Metallspritzern und der heißen Plasmawolke, die unter das Visier schlagen kann und somit Hals und Kinn verletzt, schützen. Letztere ist beispielsweise in DE 20 2005 009 226 U1 beschrieben.Furthermore, visors are known, which cover by an elongated disc or a flame-retardant bib the neck of the wearer with and thus in front of the metal splashes and the hot plasma cloud that can strike under the visor and thus injured neck and chin protect. The latter is for example in DE 20 2005 009 226 U1 described.

Im Falle des Auftretens eines Störlichtbogens an elektrischen Anlagen entsteht ebenfalls Strahlungswärme ähnlich des Sonnenspektrums im sichtbaren und nichtsichtbaren Bereich. Der Elektriker ist somit hoher ultravioletter (UV) und infraroter (IR) Strahlung ausgesetzt, die zu Verletzungen bzw. zu Verbrennungen der Haut führen können.In the case of the occurrence of an arc fault in electrical installations also produces radiant heat similar to the solar spectrum in the visible and non-visible area. The electrician is thus exposed to high ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, which can lead to injury or burns of the skin.

Bei Prüfungen der Visiere, die in Deutschland durch die Berufsgenossenschaft Energie Textil Elektro nach dem Prüfgrundsatz GS-ET-29 "Elektriker-Gesichtsschutz" durchgeführt werden, wird an einem Prüfkopf eine kalorimetrische Wärmemessung während der Einwirkung eines Störlichtbogens durchgeführt. Die darin beschriebenen Zusatzanforderungen gelten für einen Elektriker-Gesichtsschutz, der bei Arbeiten, bei denen das Risiko eines Störlichtbogens besteht, getragen wird.In tests of the visors, which are carried out in Germany by the professional association of energy textile electrical according to the test principle GS-ET-29 "electrician's face protection", a calorimetric heat measurement is carried out on a probe during the action of an arc fault. The additional requirements described therein apply to an electrician's face shield worn during work involving the risk of an arc fault.

Einen großen Einfluss auf den Verletzungsgrad des Elektrikers hat die UV- und IR- Strahlung, die bei transparenten Scheiben mit einem Transmissionsgrad nahe 100%, nahezu ungehindert transmittieren kann.A major influence on the degree of injury of the electrician has the UV and IR radiation, which can transmit almost unimpeded in transparent discs with a transmittance near 100%.

Gegenwärtig sind Scheiben für Elektrikerschutzvisiere bekannt, bei denen die Kunststoffscheiben zum Beispiel grün, rot oder gelb durchgefärbt sind. Diese Scheiben haben eine verringerte Lichttransmission von etwa 50 bis 75 % und erfüllen auch den Schutz vor der UV- bzw. IR- Strahlung. Sie lassen aber nur den Teil des Lichtsprektrums durch, in dem sie durchgefärbt sind. Das hat für den Tragenden zur Folge, dass er andere Farben nicht mehr richtig oder verfälscht wahrnimmt. Das beeinträchtigt die Arbeitsergonomie und kann im elektrotechnischen Bereich sogar zu Verwechslung der Farben von Drähten, Adern, Kabeln oder Leitungen und somit zu einem höheren Unfallrisiko führen.Currently discs for electrician protection visors are known in which the plastic discs are dyed through, for example, green, red or yellow. These discs have a reduced light transmission of about 50 to 75% and also meet the protection against UV or IR radiation. But they only pass through the part of the light spectrum in which they are colored. This has the consequence for the wearer that he no longer perceives other colors correctly or falsified. This impairs working ergonomics and can even lead to confusion in the electrical engineering of the colors of wires, wires, cables or lines and thus to a higher accident risk.

Weiterhin sind Schutzbrillen und Schutzschilder aus transparenten, schwer entflammbaren und elektrisch isolierenden thermoplastischen Folien- und Plattenmaterialien bekannt, auf deren Vorderseiten eine dünne Goldschicht aufgedampft ist, die als Filter dient, beispielsweise in DE 1862 554 U . Allerdings ist diese Metallschicht elektrisch leitend.Furthermore, goggles and protective shields made of transparent, flame-retardant and electrically insulating thermoplastic film and plate materials are known, on whose front sides a thin gold layer is deposited, which serves as a filter, for example in DE 1862 554 U , However, this metal layer is electrically conductive.

Auch in der DE 17 47 138 U wird ein Wärmereflektierender Gesichtsschutz mit einer auf einer Folie aufgedampften Spiegelschicht beschrieben. Derartige Metallschichten sind für Elektrikervisiere nicht geeignet, da Metallschichten leitend sind. Die Visiere werden mit elektrischen Spannungen geprüft und dürfen nicht leitend sein. Weiterhin ist eine aufgetragene Metallschicht, bedingt durch die Dicke im Mikrobereich, sehr anfällig. Außerdem werden durch die Metallschichten die Lichttransmission und der Farbwiedergabeindex entscheidend gemindert.Also in the DE 17 47 138 U is a heat-reflecting face shield described with a vapor-deposited on a mirror mirror layer. Such metal layers are not suitable for electric sirens, as metal layers are conductive. The visors are checked with electrical voltages and must not be conductive. Furthermore, an applied metal layer, due to the thickness in the micro range, very vulnerable. In addition, the light transmission and the color rendering index are significantly reduced by the metal layers.

Das in GB 2 447 613 A beschriebene Material weist ebenfalls eine Metallschicht mit den genannten Nachteilen auf.This in GB 2 447 613 A described material also has a metal layer with the disadvantages mentioned.

Weiterhin gibt es in der Schweißtechnik Glasscheiben die speziell beschichtet und relativ farbecht sind. Visiere mit diesen Scheiben sind aber sehr schwer und reduzieren das Sichtfeld. Außerdem befinden sich an diesen Visieren leitende Teile, die für Tätigkeiten im Bereich der Elektrotechnik nicht zugelassen sind. Sie sind somit nicht nutzbar. Das Gleiche gilt für die Schweißervisiere aus Glas, die sich im Falle eines auftretenden Lichtbogens verdunkeln.Furthermore, there are in the welding glass panes that are specially coated and relatively colorfast. Visors with these discs are very heavy and reduce the field of vision. In addition, these visors contain conductive parts which are not approved for activities in the field of electrical engineering. They are therefore not usable. The same applies to the glass sighting points, which darken in the event of an arc occurring.

EP 0698 225 B1 beschreibt eine Schutzvorrichtung, deren Sichtscheibe in wenigstens zwei Lichtdurchlässigkeitszustände versetzt werden kann, indem Flüssigkristallzellen elektrisch angeregt werden. Diese Lösung erfordert einen hohen Aufwand bei der Herstellung sowie bei der Wartung. EP 0698 225 B1 describes a protective device whose viewing window can be put into at least two light transmission states by electrically exciting liquid crystal cells. This solution requires a lot of effort during production and maintenance.

Bekannt sind auch mit einem UV-Schutz versehene Ski- oder Sonnenbrillen, deren Gläser mit speziellen Schutzschichten bedampft sind. Meist sind diese sehr stark eingefärbt und als Gesichtsschutz ungeeignet.Are also provided with a UV protection provided ski or sunglasses whose glasses are coated with special protective layers. Most of these are very strong colored and unsuitable as a face mask.

Eine Sonnenschutzfolie für transparente oder transluzente Verscheibungen mit mindestens einer metallisierten und/oder unmetallisierten Trägerfolie wird EP 1 666 927 A1 beschrieben.A sunscreen for transparent or translucent glazings with at least one metallized and / or unmetallized carrier film is EP 1 666 927 A1 described.

Die in EP 2 110 237 A1 beschriebene photoluminiszierende Zwischenschichtfolie wird in Verbundverglasungen oder Photovoltaikmodulen eingesetzt. Das verwendete Glas ist sehr schwer und ungeeignet, da der Gesichtsschutz für Elektriker einen großen Sichtbereich haben muss. Fensterglas mit Folie kann nicht geformt werden. Die Geometrie eines Schutzvisiers gegen thermische Gefahren setzt aber eine umlaufende Form um das Gesicht des Tragenden voraus, damit durch Wärmeströmung bzw. Wärmeleitung der Kopf bzw. das Gesicht des Tragenden geschützt ist.In the EP 2 110 237 A1 described photoluminescent interlayer film is used in composite glazings or photovoltaic modules. The glass used is very heavy and unsuitable because the face shield for electricians must have a large field of view. Window glass with foil can not be formed. However, the geometry of a protective visor against thermal hazards requires a circumferential shape around the face of the wearer, so that the head or the face of the wearer is protected by heat flow or heat conduction.

Einen Schutzhelm mit einem Visier mit einem Antibeschlagschutz beschreibt die JP 07-0 03 515 A . Derartige Visiere sind für Elektrikervisiere ebenfalls ungeeignet.A hard hat with a visor with anti-fog protection describes the JP 07-0 03 515 A , Such visors are also unsuitable for electric visitors.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht in der Entwicklung eines wirksamen Gesichtsschutzes für Elektriker, bei dem die Sicht durch die Gesichtsschutzscheibe wenig beeinträchtigt oder verfälscht wird. Der Temperaturanstieg hinter der Schutzscheibe im Falle eines Störlichtbogens soll gering gehalten werden. Der Gesichtsschutz soll einfach aufgebaut und kostengünstig herstellbar sein.The object of the invention is the development of an effective face protection for electricians, in which the view through the face shield is little affected or falsified. The temperature increase behind the protective screen in the event of an arc fault should be kept low. The face shield should be simple and inexpensive to produce.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch die Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Ausgestaltende Merkmale sind in den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 9 beschrieben.According to the invention the object is achieved by the features of claim 1. Ausgestaltende features are described in the subclaims 2 to 9.

Grundgedanke der Erfindung ist es, dass durch eine Beschichtung einer transparenten Scheibe mit einer speziellen Folie, die das normale, sichtbare Lichtspektrum nicht verfälscht, die UV- und IR- Strahlung des Störlichtbogens reflektiert und absorbiert wird und dadurch Verletzungen des Trägers des Gesichtsschutzes vermieden werden.The basic idea of the invention is that by coating a transparent pane with a special foil which does not distort the normal, visible light spectrum, the UV and IR radiation of the arc is reflected and absorbed, thereby avoiding injuries to the wearer of the faceguard.

Der erfindungsgemäße Gesichtsschutz für Elektriker besteht aus einem an einem Tragkörper oder in Textilmaterialien eingefassten Schutzschild.The face mask according to the invention for electricians consists of a shield attached to a supporting body or in textile materials.

Das Schutzschild besteht aus einer transparenten Kunststoffplatte einer Dicke zwischen 1 - 10 mm, deren Farbwiedergabeindex nach EN 410 größer als 90, vorzugsweise nahe 100 sein sollte. Dicke und Beschaffenheit der Kunststoffplatte werden so gewählt, dass bei einem Störlichtbogen kein Durchschlag erfolgen kann. Die Kunststoffe sind schwer entflammbar und wirken elektrisch isolierend. Vorzugsweise werden Kunststoffe aus Polykarbonat und/oder Acetat eingesetzt.The protective shield consists of a transparent plastic plate of a thickness between 1 and 10 mm, whose color rendering index according to EN 410 should be greater than 90, preferably close to 100. Thickness and nature of the plastic plate are chosen so that in a fault arc no breakdown can occur. The plastics are flame retardant and have an electrically insulating effect. Preferably, plastics of polycarbonate and / or acetate are used.

Auf der Kunststoffplatte ist eine dünne, flexible Kunststofffolie aufgebracht, deren Dicke zwischen 0,01 mm und 0,5 mm gewählt wird. Diese Kunststofffolie besitzt eine visuelle Transmission nach EN 410 von mindestens 40%, besser noch von über 65%, damit eine gute Sicht durch das Visier gewährleistet ist. Weiterhin besitzt sie einen Farbwiedergabeindex nach EN 410 von größer als 90. Dadurch wird gewährleistet, dass keine Farbverfälschungen auftreten können, was gerade bei Elektrikern zu folgenschweren Verwechslungen führen könnte. Die solare Reflexion der Folie nach ISO 13837 ist größer als 23% und die solare Transmission nach ISO 13837 ist weniger als 55%. Diese spezielle Auswahl einer solaren Mindestreflexion und einer solaren Höchsttransmission gewährleistet, dass im Falle des Auftretens eines Störlichtbogens nicht so viel Wärme durch das Visier an das Gesicht gelangt.On the plastic plate, a thin, flexible plastic film is applied, whose thickness is selected between 0.01 mm and 0.5 mm. This plastic film has a visual transmission according to EN 410 of at least 40%, better still more than 65%, in order to ensure a good view through the visor. Furthermore, it has a color rendering index according to EN 410 of greater than 90. This ensures that no color distortions can occur, which could lead to serious confusion, especially with electricians. The solar reflectance of the film according to ISO 13837 is greater than 23% and the solar transmission according to ISO 13837 is less than 55%. This special selection of a minimum solar reflection and a maximum solar transmission ensures that in the event of a fault arc, not so much heat gets through the visor to the face.

Vorzugsweise ist die Kunststofffolie eine Selbstklebefolie, die aus handelsüblichen Window-Film-Folien ausgewählt wird und auf der Außenseite der Kunststoffplatte, also der dem Lichtbogen zugewanden Seite, aufgebracht ist.Preferably, the plastic film is a self-adhesive film, which is selected from commercially available window film films and on the outside of the plastic plate, so the arc-facing side, is applied.

Die Kunststofffolie kann auf der Kunststoffplatte auch auflaminiert sein oder sie ist zwischen zwei Teil-Kunststoffplatten eingebracht, entweder wieder selbstklebend oder laminiert.The plastic film can also be laminated on the plastic plate or it is inserted between two partial plastic plates, either self-adhesive or laminated.

In einer Ausführungsform ist das Schutzschild an der Schildhalterung schwenkbar befestigt, so dass der Elektriker das Schutzschild bei Nichtgebrauch nach oben klappen kann.In one embodiment, the shield is pivotally attached to the shield bracket so that the electrician can flip the shield upward when not in use.

Das Schutzschild sollte den Gesichts- und Halsbereich vollständig abdecken.The shield should completely cover the face and neck area.

Die Erfindung hat den Vorteil, dass leichte Kunststoffe, wie bei bereits genutzten Visieren verwendet werden können und das Sichtfeld des Tragenden wenig beeinträchtigt oder verfälscht wird. Die Temperatur- und Strahlenbelastung hinter der Schutzscheibe im Falle eines Störlichtbogens ist durch die hohe Reflexion und Absorption der UV- und IR-Strahlung stark verringert.The invention has the advantage that light plastics, as can be used with already used visors and the field of view of the wearer is little affected or distorted. The temperature and radiation exposure behind the protective screen in the event of an arc fault is greatly reduced by the high reflection and absorption of UV and IR radiation.

Der Gesichtsschutz ist einfach aufgebaut und kostengünstig herstellbar.The face shield is simple and inexpensive to produce.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung an einem Ausführungsbeispiel näher beschrieben. Es zeigen:

Die Fig. 1 zeigt einen Gesichtsschutz für Elektriker mit einem an einem Tragkörper 1 eingefassten Schutzschild 2. Der Tragkörper 1 dient der Befestigung an einem Arbeitsschutzhelm 4.The Fig. 1 shows a face shield for electricians with a shield attached to a support body 1 2. The support body 1 is used for attachment to a safety helmet. 4

Der Gesichtsschutz besteht aus einer transparenten Kunststoffplatte aus Polykarbonat mit einer Dicke von 1,5 mm, dessen Farbwiedergabeindex 99 ist (nach EN 410), also keine Einfärbungen oder Beschichtungen besitzt. Der Elektriker-Gesichtsschutz deckt den Gesichts- und Halsbereich vollständig ab.The face protection consists of a transparent plastic plate made of polycarbonate with a thickness of 1.5 mm, whose color rendering index is 99 (according to EN 410), so no colorings or coatings possesses. The electrician's face shield completely covers the face and neck area.

Auf der Kunststoffplatte ist eine flexible Kunststofffolie aufgebracht. Für das Produkt wird der Folienverbund V-KOOL 70 der Fa. Southwall Technologies Inc. ausgewählt. Auch das Produkt V-KOOL 75 wäre für die Anwendung möglich gewesen. Daneben sind auch andere Windows-Film-Folien, die die genannten Eigenschaften aufweisen, auswählbar, beispielsweise Hilite 70, Produkte aus der Neutral Serie der Fa. LLumar. Die Folien sind ursprünglich als Sonnenschutzfolien für Glasfassaden und Autoscheiben entwickelt worden.On the plastic plate, a flexible plastic film is applied. For the product, the film composite V-KOOL 70 from Southwall Technologies Inc. is selected. The product V-KOOL 75 would have been possible for the application. In addition, other Windows film films that have the properties mentioned, selectable, for example, Hilite 70, products from the Neutral series of the company LLumar. The foils were originally developed as sun protection foils for glass facades and car windows.

Die verwendete Window-Film-Folie V-KOOL 70 besitzt eine visuelle Transmission nach EN 410 von etwa 70%. Die solare Transmission liegt mit etwas weniger als 40% weit unter dem notwendigen Wert von 55%. Die solare Reflexion ist mit etwa 32% ebenfalls wie gefordert höher als 23%. Der Farbwiedergabeindex von 97 erfüllt das gesetzte Kriterium ebenfalls. Die Kunststofffolie ist eine Selbstklebefolie. Sie wird auf der dem Gesicht abgewandten Außenseite der Kunststoffplatte einschlussfrei aufgeklebt.The used window film foil V-KOOL 70 has a visual transmission according to EN 410 of about 70%. The solar transmission is a little less than 40%, well below the required value of 55%. The solar reflection of about 32% is also higher than 23% as required. The color rendering index of 97 also meets the set criterion. The plastic film is a self-adhesive film. It is glued on the outside facing away from the face of the plastic plate without inclusion.

Das Schutzschild 2 besitzt drei durchgehende Aussparungen 5, in die es mittels nicht dargestellter arretierbarer Drehverschlüsse am Tragkörper 1 austauschbar befestigt wird.The shield 2 has three continuous recesses 5, in which it is exchangeably secured by means not shown lockable screw caps on the support body 1.

Der Tragkörper 1 besitzt ein Scharnier 3, so dass das Schutzschild 2 bei Nichtgebrauch nach oben geklappt werden kann.The support body 1 has a hinge 3, so that the shield 2 can be folded up when not in use.

Die selektive Beschichtung des aufgebrachten Folienverbundes besteht den Test der in Deutschland zuständigen Berufsgenossenschaft nicht nur durch die Absorption der Strahlung des Lichtbogens, sondern auch durch einen signifikanten Anteil an Reflexion.The selective coating of the applied film composite passes the test of the BG in Germany not only by the absorption of the radiation of the arc, but also by a significant amount of reflection.
