Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an actuating and display panel according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the actuating plate is a glass plate or a plate made of a non-conductive material. Behind the plate sensor buttons are arranged capacitively operating sensors that detect the approach of a user's hand contactless. The sensors of the capacitive sensor keys are glued to the back of the actuator plate.
  • a combined actuation and display plate from the EP 1 867 613 which also has a rear opaque coating which leaves a window open.
  • This window is also provided with a backside precious metal coating, which should have a transmission in the range of 1 to 21% and a dispersion of 0 to 1% in the visible light for the range of wavelengths from 400 nanometers to 750 nanometers.
  • a light source is provided in this viewing window area behind the glass ceramic plate in order to be able to give feedback to the user about the activation of the capacitive sensor also arranged behind the glass ceramic plate.
  • an actuation and display panel of a flush valve with the features of the preamble of claim 1 which has a viewing window, behind which viewing window a working on light reflection base proximity sensor is provided, with which the valve is triggered.
  • the infrared sensor should on the one hand be able to detect the approach of a user to the valve and on the other hand the sensor is able to distinguish when the valve should be triggered. For this, the triggering is achieved via an infrared distance measurement.
  • an optical illuminant is provided behind the viewing window, with the user of the valve, the operating status or the triggered function is displayed.
  • the viewing window is transparent and provided for the display symbols and signal fields, which are possibly printed or glued to the actuating and display panel are also transparent.
  • the present invention seeks to provide a combined actuation and display panel, which ensures an improved visual display while ensuring the functionality of the non-contact triggering.
  • the glass plate itself provides the basis for the hygienic, because non-contact triggering and is in its size the basis of a variety of options for the display and the different tripping operations.
  • a homogeneous display can be realized, which ensures the opacity of the hidden behind the glass plate sensors and simultaneously ensures the display by an arranged behind the glass plate indicator light.
  • a transmission of this coating in the range between 1 percent and 15 percent for the range of visible light allows a highly visible display for a user Even under unfavorable lighting conditions, without too high a transmission as in a continuous transparent glass plate without coating details of the sensor shows.
  • the glass plates provided are kept very small in their surface, which, for example, an arrangement of multiple sensors for triggering or display of two different amounts of flushing water spatially not allowed. Due to the small area, the amount of light entering through the plate is automatically limited and viewing is difficult for the user.
  • the state of the art EP 1 867 613 then also uses an opaque area to limit the incident stray light.
  • the transmission of the coating in the near infrared wavelength range is at least 60%, so that the permeability of the coating provided plate for infrared light for an infrared distance measurement in both directions is sufficiently large. The transmission takes place once for the emitted rays of the infrared light source in one direction and then for the user-reflected rays in the other direction through the plate.
  • the transmission behavior of the actuator plate is crucial for the correct display of the light elements as well as for the infrared sensor technology.
  • a maximum transparency in the IR range is realized, on the other hand, the transmission in the visible range must not exceed predetermined values in order to avoid that components behind the actuator plate to the user are visible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a transmission spectrum of a coating for an actuation and display panel 100 according to the invention, shown in the Fig. 2 ,
  • the abscissa axis is divided into five areas 21, 22, 23, 24 and 25.
  • two wavelength ranges are essential in the coating, in which the transmission behavior must be within a certain range.
  • this area may also be limited to subregions, for example, between 400 and 550 nanometers, from 500 to 700 nanometers, to use more blue or red displays, or with a restricted range of 500 to 600 nanometers.
  • the second essential wavelength range is the infrared range 24 of one
  • the ultraviolet region is designated by the reference numeral 21, while the more distant infrared region is designated by the reference numeral 25.
  • the transition region between the region 22 of the visible light and the infrared region 24 is provided with the reference numeral 23.
  • the lower limit of this area 23 may be changed depending on the definition of the upper end of the visible light area 22.
  • the region 21 relates to the value of the transmission with a wavelength of less than 400 nanometers, or less than 500 nanometers according to the above embodiments.
  • region 25 relates to the value of the transmission with a wavelength of greater than 2000 nanometers, or greater than 920 nanometers, according to the above exemplary embodiments.
  • transition region 23 relates to the value of the transmission having a wavelength of greater than 700 nanometers, or greater than 550 or 600 nanometers, and less than 800 nanometers, or less than 850 nanometers according to the above embodiments.
  • the combinations are fluid and dependent on the coating chosen.
  • a transmission between 1 and 15% is to be provided for the region 22 of the visible light during the coating.
  • This transmission is represented by the limited by the lower boundary curve 31 and the upper limit curve 32 transmission band and hatched.
  • a transmission between 2 and 10% can be provided.
  • transmissions of more than 5% are present only in small subregions of the austschtreden wavelength range 22.
  • a corresponding partial wavelength range 38 with a higher transmission is found in the illustrated embodiment in the region of the wavelength near the ultraviolet.
  • Such a subarea 38 is a wavelength range over at most 150 nanometers, advantageously over at most 100 nanometers, in which the transmission curve has between 5 and 15 percent.
  • the transmission in the region 22 it is ensured that the user of the device according to the invention has sufficient perception of the light source arranged behind the actuating plate as display means;
  • the transmission is not so high that, in addition to the light source, it can detect other elements in the mounting frame of the display and actuating plate.
  • the background of the mounting frame is at least not white, especially gray or black designed or colored. If there is no mounting frame, which forms the background, but this is a building wall part, this is preferably to keep dark.
  • the hatching between 0 percent and 100 percent indicates that the transmission behavior of the coating in these areas can be arbitrary; in particular, it may be similar to the transmission behavior of the adjacent areas.
  • the transition region 23 between the visible light region 22 and the infrared region 24 a continuous transition of the transmission behavior is advantageously provided, although here as well this transmission may in principle be arbitrary; in particular, it can be zero; Also, this area can be relatively small and only a few nanometers. Such a steep transition flank is preferred.
  • the region 23 extends between 700 and 850 nanometers and increases continuously from about 10% transmission to 65% transmission. In this case, there then exists an area 38 of increased transmission at the upper wavelength range end 22.
  • the transmission behavior in the infrared region 24 is characterized by its lower limit of 60%. It is essential for correct detection of the operation that the infrared light emitted from the sensor light source and the user-reflected infrared light is transmitted no less than 60%, in order to provide a sufficient response receive.
  • the upward transmission in this region 23 is open and can be up to 100% of the light entering the coating.
  • the Fig. 2 very schematically illustrates an actuator plate 100, behind which a coating is shown here as a separate surface 101, wherein the thickness of the coating relative to the thickness of the supporting actuator plate 100 is negligible.
  • the coating 101 may comprise a display window 102 and a sensor window 103; which windows may be separated by a mask 104.
  • the masking means an opaque coating, which in particular transmits neither visible light nor IR light.
  • Such a coating 104 also has the advantage that it gives it as a very well-adhering coating, which can simultaneously provide a primer for the attachment of the actuator plate to a mounting frame.
  • edge regions can be provided, which are arranged on the edge of the plate.
  • the opaque coating is not arranged on a continuous coating 101 but directly on the glass plate 100.
  • display windows 102 and sensor windows 103 it is possible to provide different arrangements of display windows 102 and sensor windows 103, as long as a light source in the visible range of the light is provided as the indicator light and a pair of sensor light source and sensor detector, which is designed for transmission and detection of infrared light.
  • the advantageously existing closed rear space of the actuator with the actuator plate according to the invention may simply be the back space of a wall in which the display and actuator plate is installed, or it may be provided a separate mounting frame, the surface color is then preferably dark.
  • the actuating and display plate has a coating that has a specular effect for the viewer.
  • This may be the said coating with the transmission behavior of the Fig. 1 act.
  • the feature that the further or the same coating shows a reflection is, of course, to be realized only for the wavelength range 22 which is important for the observer; provided this reflection only for incoming light in subregions of the Wavelength range 22 occurs, so there is a color effect.
  • the reflection can be in the visible range, in particular in the range of 30 to 50 percent, with additional application to the inventive coating results in a reduced total transmission.
  • the values of the coating 101 can then be seen in total.
  • Such a combined coating can be an interference filter coating on borofloat glass which, with high reflection, produces attenuation of 5% in the visible range up to 700 nm and permits transmission of more than 60% from 800 nm.
  • the actuator plate can still be provided with an anti-shatter foil, which has no effect on the transmission and reflection behavior.
