- the two conductors are electrically insulated from each other, whereby the conductor pair of at least one first conductor and at least one second conductor together forms further yarn components, for example with the thread core, a capacitive component.
- the further yarn components or the thread core represents the dielectric of the capacitive component.
- This capacitive component is characterized in that its capacitance per unit length changes in the extension direction of the thread core and thus in the extension direction of the sensor yarn.
- the change in the capacitance per unit length of the capacitive component can be provided continuously and / or in stages or sections.
- the capacitive component in the extension direction may have successive yarn sections which have different capacities.
- the capacity per unit length in a yarn section can be constant. It is also possible, at least in sections, the capacity per unit length of the capacitive component continuously to change, for example, first to increase steadily from a minimum value to a maximum value of the capacity per unit length and / or to reduce from the maximum value to the minimum value of the capacity per unit length.

- the pitch of the two conductors in a common yarn section is different in size in terms of magnitude and / or value.
- An additional or alternative measure for changing the capacitance per unit length of the capacitive component can be achieved by increasing the dielectric constant of the thread core changes in the extension direction. This can be done, for example, by using different materials or combinations of materials with a different dielectric constant for the thread core.
- a plastic used for producing the thread core can be combined or doped in sections with at least one further material in order to change the relative permittivity.

- the sensor yarn 10 has a thread core 11 extending in an extension direction E.
- the thread core 11 may be monofilament or formed by a plurality of fibers or filaments. It can consist of one single material or a combination of several materials.
- the thread core 11 comprises a polymeric material.
- the thread core 11 is preferably elastically stretchable in the extension direction E and can be elastically stretched in the direction of extension E.
- the thread core 11 in the extension direction E different materials and / or different material combinations and / or different proportions of the materials have a combination of materials, which will be discussed later in more detail.
- At least one first conductor 12 and at least one second conductor 13 are wound around the thread core 11.
- first conductor 12 and a single second conductor 13 are illustrated in each case.
- a plurality of first conductor 12 and second conductor 13 may be present.
- the conductors 12, 13 comprise an electrically conductive material, in particular metal, or are produced from such a material.
- the conductors 12, 13 are made of a metallic wire, preferably a copper wire.
- the conductors 12, 13 have on their outer surface an electrically insulating coating or an electrically insulating lacquer.
- the conductors have a diameter of up to 0.1 mm or 0.2 mm.
- the first conductor 12 and the second conductor 13 form a conductor pair 14.
- the conductor pair 14 is part of a capacitive component 15.
- the capacitive component 15 of a sensor yarn of a specific length has a total capacitance CG.
- FIG. 1b the electrical circuit diagram for the sensor yarn 10 with the capacitive component 15 is illustrated.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 1 illustrates a first embodiment of the sensor yarn 10, which is referred to as the first sensor yarn 10a.
- the capacitive component 15 has a capacitance C1 changing in the extension direction E per unit length l of the sensor yarn.
- the capacitance C1 per unit length l indicates the capacitance of the capacitive component 15 at the viewing point of the sensor yarn 10, wherein this capacitance C1 per unit length l changes in the extension direction E.
- the total capacity CG is therefore not only dependent on the length of a sensor yarn 10 in the direction of extent E, but additionally varies spatially in the direction of extent E. Two equal-length sections of a sensor yarn 10 can thus have a different total capacity CG.
- the capacitance Cl changes per unit length l in sections.
- a first yarn section 21, a second yarn section 22 and a third yarn section 23 are illustrated.
- the sensor yarn 10 or its capacitive component 15 has a different capacitance C 1 per unit length l.
- the capacitance C1 per unit length l in a respective yarn section 21, 22, 23 is substantially constant.
- the sensor yarn 10 in the first yarn section 21 has a first capacity Cl 1 per unit length l, in the second yarn section 22 a second capacity Cl 2 per unit length l and in the third yarn section 23 a third capacity Cl 3 per unit length l.
- the capacity Cl per unit length l can be at least partially continuously increased or decreased.
- the capacitance C L per unit length L may be steadily increased from a minimum value of, for example, 10 pF to a maximum value of 250 pF or more, and / or conversely continuously reduced from the maximum value to the minimum value.
- Such continuously changing sections may also be provided sequentially in the sensor yarn 10.
- the value of the capacitance Cl per unit length l, which changes in the extension direction E, is determined at the in FIG. 2 illustrated embodiment of the first sensor yarn 10a achieved in that the slope S of a helix of the helically wound first conductor 12 and / or the second conductor 13 with respect to the extension direction E, ie the longitudinal central axis of the sensor yarn 10 varies.
- the pitch S of a helical turn of the two conductors 12, 13 has a first slope amount S 1 .
- the slope S has the Helical turns of the first and second conductors 12, 13 in the second yarn section 22 has a second pitch amount S 2 and in the third yarn section 23 has a third pitch amount S 3 .
- the slope amounts are substantially constant in the respective yarn section 21, 22, 23. Since the pitch between two adjacent in the extension direction yarn sections 21 and 22 or 22 and 23 for manufacturing reasons often can not be changed suddenly, between two adjacent yarn sections 21 and 22 and 22 and 23 each have a transition section 24 is present. In this transition section 24, the pitch of the first conductor 12 and / or the second conductor 13 is continuously increased or decreased to provide a transition between the respective slope amounts S 1 and S 2 or S 2 and S 3 . These transitional sections 24 could optionally also be dispensed with if a transition point with an abruptly changing pitch between two yarn sections 21, 22 with different pitch amounts can be produced by the manufacturing process of the sensor yarn 10.
- the slope amounts for the two conductors 12, 13 are the same size, but have different signs. As a result, intersection points in the windings of the two conductors 12, 13 are formed. It is not absolutely necessary that the pitch amounts for the two conductors 12, 13 in a yarn section 21 are equal, but the pitch amounts of the two conductors 12, 13 may also be different from each other. In addition, between two adjacent yarn sections with different capacity Cl per unit length l, only the slope of the first conductor 12th or the second conductor 13 are changed.
- FIG. 3 Another possibility for changing the capacitance C1 per unit length l for the capacitive component 15 is illustrated.
- the pitch of the winding of the two conductors 12, 13 in the different yarn sections 21, 22, 23 can remain essentially unchanged.
- the dielectric constant or permittivity ⁇ is changed according to the example.
- the dielectric which is formed, for example, by the thread core 11, changed in sections.
- the thread core 11 has, for example, in the first yarn section 21 a first dielectric constant ⁇ 1 , in the second yarn section 22 a second dielectric constant ⁇ 2 and in the third yarn section 23 a third dielectric constant ⁇ 3 .
- the different dielectric constants are achieved by different materials or material compositions in the yarn sections 21, 22, 23.
- the thread core 11 may have an at least partially doped base material. It is expedient here if the dielectric constant of the base material differs sufficiently from the added doping material, for example by at least 10 to 30%. To change the dielectric constant ⁇ , for example, the proportion of the doping material relative to the base material can be increased. Additionally or alternatively, different doping materials or different combinations of doping materials in the different yarn sections 21, 22, 23 may be used.
- the dielectric constant changing material is used as a doping material in the base material of the thread core 11 introduced. Furthermore, it would also be possible to provide a coating enveloping the thread core 11 and the conductors 12, 13, which coating contains or consists of the material varying the dielectric constant.
- a sensory textile material part 16 can be produced, as shown schematically in FIGS FIGS. 5 and 6 is illustrated.
- effects such as a force, for example, a compressive force and / or a tensile force, influences by liquid media, such as water, approaches by objects, etc. can be detected.
- location information is already provided by the sensor yarn 10 via which it is possible to determine the position of the action.
- the effect when several of the sensor yarns 10 in a textile material part 16 are arranged parallel to one another, the effect usually has an effect not only on the total capacity CG of a single sensor yarn 10 but on the total capacity CG of several sensor yarns 10.
- a very precise location determination of the action on the textile material part 16 can take place without a matrix-like arrangement of sensor yarns 10 with intersection points being necessary.
- This has the advantage that the textile material part 16 only must be electrically contacted on one side for connection to the evaluation unit 17. This considerably simplifies the construction of a sensory textile material part 16.
- the textile material part 16 may be in the textile material part 16 to knitwear, such as a knitted fabric or a knitted fabric ( FIG. 5 ) or a tissue ( FIG. 6 ) act.
- the sensor yarns 10 are inserted as Steherfäden in the fabric and do not participate in the stitch formation itself.
- the sensor yarns 10 are incorporated as weft threads in a fabric.
- one or more conventional, non-sensory textile threads 25 can be woven in between two sensor yarns 10 in each case.
- the number and density of the sensor yarns in a textile material part 16 depend on the specific application.
- the textile material 16 has, in addition to the sensor yarns 10 arranged in parallel, one or more conventional textile threads 25.
- the non-sensory textile thread 25 can be used for stitch formation ( FIG. 5 ) or as a weft thread and warp thread ( FIG. 6 ) be used.
- the representations in the FIGS. 5 and 6 are not to scale and only schematic.

- the photosensitive material 30 is introduced as doping material into the base material of the thread core 11.
- the thread core 11 could also consist of photosensitive material.
- FIGS. 4a and 4b Based on FIGS. 4a and 4b is schematically seen that takes place by the irradiation of the second sensor yarn 10b with light L, a change in length of the thread core 11 by photostriction.
- the length of a longitudinal section A changes by a difference d when the second sensor yarn 10b is irradiated with the light L.
- This causes a change in the total capacity CG of the sensor yarn 10 irradiated with light L.
- the intensity of the incident light L changes, so does the total capacity CG.
- the photorefractive material 30 for example, a polymer material, a semiconductor material, a feroelectric material, a magnetic material, or a magnetoelectric material may be used.
- a polymer material for example, a polymer material, a semiconductor material, a feroelectric material, a magnetic material, or a magnetoelectric material may be used.
- bismuth ferrite can be used as a photostrictive material.
- a photosensitive second sensor yarn 10b takes place no change in length (photostriction). Rather, the photosensitive material is selected there in such a way that the intensity of the light causes a change in the dielectric constant.
- a doped semiconductor material such as copper-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS: Cu) may be used.
- ZnS copper-doped zinc sulfide
- dipoles form in the electric field and change the dielectric constant, which in turn alters the detectable total capacitance of the second sensor path 10b.
- the photosensitive second sensor yarn 10b can thus be used to detect the presence of incident light L or a change in intensity.
- a lighting sensor or even a brightness sensor could thereby be realized.
- Such a sensor could be integrated by means of the sensor yarn 10b into a shading textile, for example a roller blind or the like, which is moved into its extended or retracted position as a function of the solar radiation.
- the sensors could therefore be an integral part of a sun blinds and could be dispensed with a separate sensor.
- one of the two conductors for example the second conductor 13 can also be formed by the thread core 11 ( FIG. 7 ).
- the sensor yarn 10a, 10b can also be embodied as a thread without a thread core 11 (FIG. FIG. 8 ). If no thread core 11 is present, the two conductors 12, 13 with other filaments (hatching in FIG. 8 ) combined to form the twine.
- At least one of the two conductors is helically wound in the direction of extent E.
- the first sensor yarn 10a and the second sensor yarn 10b can also be used together in a textile material part 16 if both the action of light L, and an approach of an article to the textile material part 16 and / or a force on the textile material part 16 and / or a Influence by a liquid or vaporous medium and / or another influence affecting the total capacity CG of a sensor yarn 10 is to be detected.

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Sensorgarn zur Verwendung in einem Textilmaterialteil. Das Sensorgarn weist einen Fadenkern auf, dessen Längsmittelachse sich in einer Erstreckungsrichtung erstreckt. Der Fadenkern kann monofil oder aus mehreren Fasern bzw. Filamenten gebildet sein. Der Fadenkern ist vorzugsweise in Erstreckungsrichtung elastisch dehnbar. Die Dehnbarkeit des Sensorgarns kann an das Material angepasst werden, in das das Sensorgarn integriert wird und kann daher in einem weiten Bereich variieren.The present invention relates to a sensor yarn for use in a textile material part. The sensor yarn has a thread core whose longitudinal central axis extends in an extension direction. The thread core may be monofilament or formed of several fibers or filaments. The thread core is preferably elastically extensible in the direction of extension. The extensibility of the sensor yarn can be adapted to the material in which the sensor yarn is integrated and can therefore vary within a wide range.
Zur Ausbildung eines kapazitiven Bauteils sind ein erster Leiter und ein zweiter Leiter jeweils schraubenförmig bzw. helixförmig gegenüber der Erstreckungsrichtung gewickelt. Das Sensorgarn kann als Zwirn oder als Umwindegarn ausgeführt sein. Die beiden Leiter können daher in dem und/oder um den Fadenkern gewickelt sein. Die beiden Leiter sind einander gegenüber elektrisch isoliert. Beispielsweise kann zumindest einer der beiden Leiter durch einen Lack oder eine Beschichtung um den elektrisch leitfähigen Kern isoliert sein.To form a capacitive component, a first conductor and a second conductor are each helically or helically wound with respect to the direction of extent. The sensor yarn can be designed as a thread or as Umwindegarn. The two conductors can therefore be wound in and / or around the thread core. The two conductors are electrically isolated from each other. For example, at least one of the two conductors can be insulated by a lacquer or a coating around the electrically conductive core.

Heutzutage werden in verschiedensten Anwendungsbereichen sensorische Textilmaterialien eingesetzt. Beispielsweise können derartige sensorische Textilmaterialen Druckkräfte, Zugkräfte oder dergleichen erfassen. Bei vielen Anwendungen ist auch eine Lokalisierung der einwirkenden Kraft vorteilhaft oder erforderlich. Häufig werden dann sensorische Garne in einem dichten matrixförmigen Muster in das Textilmaterial eingearbeitet, so dass ein zweidimensionales Muster von sich kreuzenden sensorischen Garnen entsteht. Wirkt an einer bestimmten Stelle eine Kraft auf diese Fläche ein oder nähert sich ein Gegenstand an diese Fläche an, so kann abhängig von der Dichte der sensorischen Garne eine Ortsbestimmung der Kraft bzw. der Annäherung eines Gegenstands durch die sensorische Matrix erfolgen.Nowadays, sensory textile materials are used in a wide variety of applications. For example, such sensory textile materials can detect compressive forces, tensile forces or the like. In many applications, a localization of the applied force is advantageous or necessary. Often, sensory yarns are then incorporated into the fabric in a dense matrix pattern to form a two-dimensional pattern of intersecting sensory yarns. If a force acts on this surface at a certain point or approaches an object to this surface, depending on the density of the sensory yarns, a localization of the force or the approach of an object by the sensory matrix can take place.
Der Aufwand für derartige sensorische Textilmaterialien ist groß, wodurch das Textilmaterial entsprechend teuer wird. Als Folge hiervon ist die Verbreitung von sensorischen Textilmaterialien nach wie vor gering.The cost of such sensory textile materials is large, whereby the textile material is correspondingly expensive. As a result, the distribution of sensory textile materials is still low.
Es kann daher als Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung angesehen werden, ein Sensorgarn zu verbessern.It can therefore be regarded as an object of the present invention to improve a sensor yarn.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch ein Sensorgarn mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruche 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by a sensor yarn having the features of patent claims 1.
Das Sensorgarn weist ein photosensitives Material auf. Das photosensitive Material kann beispielsweise Bestandteil eines Fadenkerns sein oder am Fadenkern angeordnet sein. Das photosensitive Material kann durch einen oder beide nachfolgend beschriebene Effekte die Gesamtkapazität des kapazitiven Bauteils des Sensorgarns ändern:
- a) Das photosensitive Material ist photostriktiv und bewirkt eine Längenänderung des Sensorgarns in Erstreckungsrichtung und/oder schräg oder quer hierzu, wenn sich die Intenstität des auf das sensorgarn einfallenden Lichts ändert.
- b) Das photosensitive Material ändert seine Dielektrizitätszahl, wenn sich die Intenstität des auf das sensorgarn einfallenden Lichts ändert.
- a) The photosensitive material is photostrictive and causes a change in length of the sensor yarn in the direction of extent and / or obliquely or transversely thereto, when the intensity of the light incident on the sensor yarn changes.
- b) The photosensitive material changes its dielectric constant as the intensity of the incident light on the sensor yarn changes.
Dadurch verändert sich die Gesamtkapazität des kapazitiven Bauteils des Sensorgarns. Somit lässt sich auf das Sensorgarn einfallendes Licht detektieren.This changes the total capacity of the capacitive component of the sensor yarn. Thus can on the Sensor yarn detect incident light.
Für den unter b) beschriebenen Effekt kann beispielsweise mit Kupfer dotiertes Zinksulfid (ZnS:Cu) oder ein dotiertes Halbleitermaterial verwendet werden. Die eingeschränkt beweglichen freien Ladungen in dem Material bilden abhängig von der Intensität der Lichteinstrahlung Dipole im elektrischen Feld, wodurch sich die Dielektrizitätszahl und somit die messbare Gesamtkapazität ändert.For example, copper-doped zinc sulfide (ZnS: Cu) or a doped semiconductor material can be used for the effect described under b). The limited mobile free charges in the material form dipoles in the electric field depending on the intensity of the light irradiation, whereby the dielectric constant and thus the measurable total capacitance changes.
Bei dem photostriktiven Material kann es sich um ein Polymermaterial und/oder ein Halbleitermaterial und/oder ein ferroelektrisches Material und/oder ein magnetisches Material und/oder ein magnetoelektrisches Material handeln. Beispielsweise kann der Fadenkern aus einem Polymermaterial hergestellt sein, das mit einem Halbleitermaterial dotiert ist. Das Polymermaterial kann zusätzlich oder alternativ zur Dotierung mit einem Halbleitermaterial auch mit einem anderen geeigneten Material dotiert sein, beispielsweise mit Bismutferrit.The photostrictive material may be a polymer material and / or a semiconductor material and / or a ferroelectric material and / or a magnetic material and / or a magnetoelectric material. For example, the thread core may be made of a polymer material doped with a semiconductor material. The polymer material may additionally or alternatively be doped with a semiconductor material also doped with another suitable material, for example with bismuth ferrite.
Ein sensorisches Textilmaterialteil kann wenigstens ein vorstehend beschriebenes erfindungsgemäßes Sensorgarn und optional wenigstens ein Sensorgarn gemäß einer anderen, nachfolgend erläuterten Ausgestaltung aufweisen. Das Textilmaterialteil kann als Maschenware oder als Gewebe ausgeführt sein. Die Sensorgarne können beispielsweise als Schussfaden oder als Kettfaden in ein Gewebe eingebracht werden. Die Sensorgarne können auch in ein Gewebe oder eine Maschenware eingelegt werden und durch nicht-sensorische Garne oder Fäden im Textilmaterial gehalten werden. Bevorzugt sind die Sensorgarne dabei kreuzungsfrei in einer Richtung des Textilmaterials angeordnet, vorzugsweise in Richtung der Schussfäden. Bei einer Maschenware kann das wenigstens eine Sensorgarn beispielsweise als Steherfaden eingearbeitet werden.A sensory textile material part may have at least one above-described sensor yarn according to the invention and optionally at least one sensor yarn according to another embodiment explained below. The textile material part can be designed as a knit fabric or as a fabric. The sensor yarns can be introduced into a fabric, for example, as a weft thread or as a warp thread. The sensor yarns can also be placed in a fabric or knitwear and held by non-sensory yarns or threads in the fabric. Preferably, the sensor yarns are arranged without crossing in a direction of the textile material, preferably in the direction of the weft threads. In a knitted fabric, the at least one sensor yarn, for example, as standing thread be incorporated.
Die Sensorgarn gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung kann als Umwindegarn mit einem Fadenkern oder als Zwirn ausgeführt sein. Das Sensorgarn hat wenigstens einen ersten und wenigstens einen zweiten Leiter, wobei zumindest einer der beiden Leiter gegenüber der Erstreckungsrichtung des Sensorgarns schraubenförmig gewickelt ist. Die beiden Leiter können dabei kreuzend und/oder mit jeweils derselben Windungssteigung nebeneinander kreuzungsfrei auf den Fadenkern gewickelt sein oder der Fadenkern kann einen der beiden Leiter aufweisen oder bilden (Umwindegarn). Bei einem Zwirn kann einer oder beide Leiter schraubenförmig gewickelt sein.The sensor yarn according to a further embodiment may be designed as Umwindegarn with a thread core or as a twist. The sensor yarn has at least one first and at least one second conductor, wherein at least one of the two conductors is helically wound with respect to the extension direction of the sensor yarn. The two conductors can be crossing and / or each with the same Windungssteigung next to each other without crossing wound on the thread core or the thread core can have or form one of the two conductors (Umwindegarn). In a twisted yarn, one or both conductors may be helically wound.
Die beiden Leiter sind einander gegenüber elektrisch isoliert, wodurch das Leiterpaar aus wenigstens einem ersten Leiter und wenigstens einem zweiten Leiter gemeinsam weiteren Garnbestandteilen, beispielsweise mit dem Fadenkern, ein kapazitives Bauteil bildet. Die weiteren Garnbestandteile bzw. der Fadenkern stellt das Dielektrikum des kapazitiven Bauteils dar.The two conductors are electrically insulated from each other, whereby the conductor pair of at least one first conductor and at least one second conductor together forms further yarn components, for example with the thread core, a capacitive component. The further yarn components or the thread core represents the dielectric of the capacitive component.
Dieses kapazitive Bauteil ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sich seine Kapazität pro Längeneinheit in Erstreckungsrichtung des Fadenkerns und somit in Erstreckungsrichtung des Sensorgarns ändert. Die Änderung der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit des kapazitiven Bauteils kann kontinuierlich und/oder stufen- oder abschnittsweise vorgesehen sein. Beispielsweise kann das kapazitive Bauteil in Erstreckungsrichtung aufeinanderfolgende Garnabschnitte aufweisen, die unterschiedliche Kapazitäten aufweisen. Dabei kann die Kapazität pro Längeneinheit in einem Garnabschnitt konstant sein. Es ist auch möglich, zumindest abschnittsweise die Kapazität pro Längeneinheit des kapazitiven Bauteils kontinuierlich zu ändern, beispielsweise zunächst stetig von einem Minimalwert bis zu einem Maximalwert der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit zu erhöhen und/oder vom Maximalwert bis zum Minimalwert der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit zu verringern. Das Muster der sich kontinuierlich oder abschnittsweise ändernden Kapazität pro Längeneinheit kann sich ab einer bestimmten Garnlänge des Sensorgarns wiederholen.This capacitive component is characterized in that its capacitance per unit length changes in the extension direction of the thread core and thus in the extension direction of the sensor yarn. The change in the capacitance per unit length of the capacitive component can be provided continuously and / or in stages or sections. For example, the capacitive component in the extension direction may have successive yarn sections which have different capacities. In this case, the capacity per unit length in a yarn section can be constant. It is also possible, at least in sections, the capacity per unit length of the capacitive component continuously to change, for example, first to increase steadily from a minimum value to a maximum value of the capacity per unit length and / or to reduce from the maximum value to the minimum value of the capacity per unit length. The pattern of the continuously or sectionally changing capacity per unit length can be repeated from a certain yarn length of the sensor yarn.
Zwei beliebige Abschnitte des Sensorgarns haben eine voneinander verschiedene Kapazität pro Längeneinheit, wenn sie bei gleicher Länge voneinander verschiedene Gesamtkapazitäten aufweisen.Any two parts of the sensor yarn have a different capacity per unit length if they have different total capacities for the same length.
Mit dem Sensorgarn kann eine auf das Sensorgarn einwirkende Kraft, beispielsweise Druckkraft und/oder Zugkraft, eine Kraftänderung, eine Medienbeaufschlagung mit einem flüssigen oder dampfförmigen Medium oder eine Annäherung eines Objekt, eine Temperaturänderung (aufgrund der Längenänderung des Sensorgarns) oder dergleichen ermittelt werden.The sensor yarn can be used to determine a force acting on the sensor yarn, for example compressive force and / or tensile force, a change in force, media exposure to a liquid or vapor medium or an approach of an object, a temperature change (due to the change in length of the sensor yarn) or the like.
Durch die sich in Erstreckungsrichtung gezielt ändernde Kapazität pro Längeneinheit kann eine Ortsauflösung in Erstreckungsrichtung erreicht werden. Denn eine zu sensierende Einwirkung auf das Sensorgarn hängt nunmehr nicht nur von der Art und dem Betrag der Einwirkung, sondern auch von der Stelle ab, an der auf das Sensorgarn eingewirkt wird. Beispielsweise ändert sich die Gesamtkapazität des Sensorgarns einer bestimmten Länge abhängig davon, welche Kapazität pro Längeneinheit das kapazitive Bauteil an der Stelle der Einwirkung aufweist. Somit ist es durch das Sensorgarn der ersten erfindungsgemäßen Lösung möglich, ein sensorisches Textilmaterialteil zu schaffen, bei dem die Sensorgarne nicht mehr gekreuzt in einer Matrix, sondern lediglich parallel zueinander in einer Richtung angeordnet werden können. Bei einer zu sensierenden Einwirkung ändert sich die Gesamtkapazität eines in das Textilmaterialteil eingearbeiteten Sensorgarns. In der Regel werden beispielsweise bei einer Berührung des Textilmaterialteils oder einer Annäherung an das Textilmaterialteil die Gesamtkapazitäten mehrerer Sensorgarne beeinträchtigt. Dadurch, dass sich die Kapazität jedes kapazitiven Sensors eines Sensorgarns in Erstreckungsrichtung ändert, lässt sich daraus eine Positionsbestimmung durchführen. Die Herstellung eines sensorischen Textilmaterialteils wird durch das erfindungsgemäße Sensorgarn deutlich vereinfacht. Insbesondere genügt die elektrische Kontaktierung eines sensorischen Textilmaterialteils an einer einzigen Seite, da die Sensorgarne nicht mehr wie bisher gekreuzt in zwei Richtungen übereinander gelegt werden müssen. Dadurch wird das Herstellen eines sensorischen Textilmaterials deutlich vereinfacht.As a result of the capacitance per unit of length that selectively changes in the extension direction, a spatial resolution in the direction of extent can be achieved. For a sensory impact on the sensor yarn now depends not only on the type and amount of impact, but also on the place where the sensor yarn is acted upon. For example, the total capacity of the sensor yarn of a certain length varies depending on what capacity per unit length the capacitive component has at the location of the impact. Thus, it is possible by the sensor yarn of the first solution according to the invention to provide a sensory textile material part in which the sensor yarns are no longer crossed in a matrix, but only arranged parallel to one another in one direction can. In the case of an action to be sensed, the total capacity of a sensor yarn incorporated in the textile material part changes. As a rule, the total capacities of several sensor yarns are impaired, for example, upon contact of the textile material part or approach to the textile material part. The fact that the capacitance of each capacitive sensor of a sensor yarn changes in the direction of extent allows a position determination to be carried out therefrom. The production of a sensory textile material part is significantly simplified by the sensor yarn according to the invention. In particular, the electrical contacting of a sensory textile material part on a single side is sufficient since the sensor yarns no longer need to be laid over one another in two directions as previously crossed. As a result, the production of a sensory textile material is significantly simplified.
Bevorzugt ist die Kapazität pro Längeneinheit des kapazitiven Bauteils in einem ersten Garnabschnitt verschieden von der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit in einem anderen zweiten Garnabschnitt des Sensorgarns. Insbesondere können zumindest zwei Garnabschnitte vorhanden sein, denen jeweils eine im Wesentlichen konstante Kapazität pro Längeneinheit zugeordnet ist. Beispielsweise kann der erste Garnabschnitt eine erste Kapazität pro Längeneinheit, der zweite Garnabschnitt eine zweite Kapazität pro Längeneinheit, ein dritter Garnabschnitt eine dritte Kapazität pro Längeneinheit, usw. aufweisen. Zwischen solchen Garnabschnitten mit unterschiedlicher Kapazität pro Längeneinheit kann jeweils ein Übergangsabschnitt vorhanden sein, in dem sich die Kapazität stetig ändert. Abhängig davon, durch welche Maßnahme die Kapazität pro Längeneinheit geändert wird, kann es aus herstellungstechnischen Gründen notwendig sein, einen solchen Übergangsabschnitt vorzusehen. Denn es ist nicht immer möglich, die Kapazität pro Längeneinheit an einer Stelle des Sensorgarns sozusagen sprungähnlich zu vergrößern oder verringern.Preferably, the capacitance per unit length of the capacitive component in a first yarn section is different from the capacitance per unit length in another second yarn section of the sensor yarn. In particular, at least two yarn sections may be present, to each of which a substantially constant capacitance per unit length is assigned. For example, the first yarn section may have a first capacity per unit length, the second yarn section may have a second capacity per unit length, a third yarn section may have a third capacity per unit length, and so on. Between such yarn sections with different capacitance per unit length, a transition section may be present in each case in which the capacitance changes continuously. Depending on which measure the capacity per unit length is changed, it may be necessary for manufacturing reasons, to provide such a transition section. Because it is not always possible, the capacity per unit length in one place of the sensor yarn, so to speak, to increase or decrease in a jump-like manner.
Die Änderung der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit in Erstreckungsrichtung beträgt bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel mindestens 0,03 pF und/oder maximal 250 pF. Zum Beispiel können zwei oder mehr Garnabschnitte vorhanden sein, wobei sich die Kapazität zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Garnabschnitten - mit gegebenenfalls dazwischen liegendem Übergangsabschnitt - um jeweils mindestens 0,03 pF ändert. Die Differenz zwischen einem Garnabschnitt mit minimaler Kapazität pro Längeneinheit und einem Garnabschnitt mit maximaler Kapazität pro Längeneinheit kann bis zu 250 pF oder mehr betragen.The change in the capacitance per unit length in the direction of extent in one embodiment is at least 0.03 pF and / or at most 250 pF. For example, there may be two or more yarn sections, with the capacity between successive yarn sections, with any transition section therebetween, varying by at least 0.03 pF each. The difference between a minimum capacity yarn section per unit length and a maximum capacity yarn section per unit length may be up to 250 pF or more.
Zur Änderung der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit des kapazitiven Bauteils in Erstreckungsrichtung können eine oder mehrere Maßnahmen vorgesehen werden. Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel kann die Änderung der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit dadurch bewirkt werden, dass eine Änderung der Anzahl von Windungen pro Längeneinheit des Fadenkerns vorgesehen ist. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch eine Änderung der Steigung der schraubenförmigen Wicklung des wenigstens einen ersten Leiters und/oder des wenigstens einen zweiten Leiters vorgesehen sein. Die Steigungen der schraubenförmigen Wicklung der beiden Leiter können in einem gemeinsamen Garnabschnitt denselben Betrag und/oder denselben Wert aufweisen. Es ist allerdings auch möglich, dass die Steigung der beiden Leiter in einem gemeinsamen Garnabschnitt im Hinblick auf den Betrag und/oder den Wert verschieden groß ist.To change the capacitance per unit length of the capacitive component in the direction of extension, one or more measures can be provided. In one embodiment, the change in capacitance per unit length may be effected by providing a change in the number of turns per unit length of the thread core. Alternatively or additionally, a change in the pitch of the helical winding of the at least one first conductor and / or the at least one second conductor may be provided. The slopes of the helical winding of the two conductors can have the same amount and / or the same value in a common yarn section. However, it is also possible that the pitch of the two conductors in a common yarn section is different in size in terms of magnitude and / or value.
Eine zusätzliche oder alternative Maßnahme zur Änderung der Kapazität pro Längeneinheit des kapazitiven Bauteils kann dadurch erreicht werden, dass sich die Dielektrizitätszahl des Fadenkerns in Erstreckungsrichtung ändert. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erfolgen, dass unterschiedliche Materialien bzw. Materialkombination mit einer jeweils anderen Dielektrizitätszahl für den Fadenkern verwendet werden. Beispielsweise kann ein zur Herstellung des Fadenkerns verwendeter Kunststoff abschnittsweise mit wenigstens einem weiteren Material kombiniert bzw. dotiert werden, um die Dielektrizitätszahl zu ändern. Durch das Material und/oder den Anteil der Dotierung gegenüber dem Grundwerkstoff des Fadenkerns lässt sich eine Veränderung der Dielektrizitätszahl erreichen.An additional or alternative measure for changing the capacitance per unit length of the capacitive component can be achieved by increasing the dielectric constant of the thread core changes in the extension direction. This can be done, for example, by using different materials or combinations of materials with a different dielectric constant for the thread core. By way of example, a plastic used for producing the thread core can be combined or doped in sections with at least one further material in order to change the relative permittivity. By the material and / or the proportion of doping relative to the base material of the thread core, a change in the dielectric constant can be achieved.
Bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel kann der Fadenkern ein Polymermaterial enthalten bzw. aus einem Polymermaterial herstellt sein. Beispielsweise kann der Fadenkern Polyurethan aufweisen und bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel aus Elasthan hergestellt sein. Der wenigstens eine erste Leiter und/oder der wenigstens eine zweite Leiter können Metall enthalten und beispielsweise aus Drähten, insbesondere Kupferdrähten hergestellt sein. Die Drähte können zur elektrischen Isolation mit einem Lack oder einer Beschichtung versehen werden. Die Leiter haben vorzugsweise einen Durchmesser von maximal 0,1 mm.In one embodiment, the thread core may contain or be made of a polymeric material. For example, the thread core may comprise polyurethane and be made in one embodiment of spandex. The at least one first conductor and / or the at least one second conductor may contain metal and be made, for example, from wires, in particular copper wires. The wires can be provided with a paint or a coating for electrical insulation. The conductors preferably have a diameter of not more than 0.1 mm.
Der wenigstens eine erste Leiter und/oder der wenigstens eine zweite Leiter können bei einem Ausführungsbeispiel jeweils in einer mehrgängigen Schraubenlinie um den Fadenkern herum verlaufen.In one embodiment, the at least one first conductor and / or the at least one second conductor can each run around the thread core in a multi-start helix.
Alternativ zu den bisher beschriebenen Ausführungsformen können die beiden Leiter auch durch jeweils eine Leitungsschicht gebildet sein, die auf den Fadenkern aufgebracht ist, wobei die Leitungsschichten gegeneinander elektrisch isoliert sind. Durch das Dielektrikum des Fadenkerns und/oder einer zusätzlichen Schicht kann die Kapazität pro Längeneinheit verändert werden. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann auch die Gestalt und insbesondere die Schichtdicke zumindest einer der Leitungsschichten variiert werden, um die Kapazität pro Längeneinheit zu verändern.As an alternative to the previously described embodiments, the two conductors can also be formed by a respective conductor layer which is applied to the thread core, wherein the conductor layers are electrically insulated from one another. Through the dielectric of the thread core and / or an additional layer, the capacity be changed per unit length. Alternatively or additionally, the shape and in particular the layer thickness of at least one of the conductor layers can be varied in order to change the capacitance per unit length.

Um den Fadenkern 11 ist wenigstens ein erster Leiter 12 und wenigstens ein zweiter Leiter 13 gewickelt. Bei den hier veranschaulichten Ausführungsbeispielen ist jeweils lediglich ein einziger erster Leiter 12 und ein einziger zweiter Leiter 13 veranschaulicht. In Abwandlung hierzu könnten jeweils auch mehrere erste Leiter 12 bzw. zweite Leiter 13 vorhanden sein.At least one
Die Leiter 12, 13 weisen ein elektrisch leitfähiges Material, insbesondere Metall, auf bzw. sind aus einem solchen Material hergestellt. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel werden die Leiter 12, 13 aus einem metallischen Draht, vorzugsweise einem Kupferdraht, hergestellt. Um eine elektrische Verbindung zwischen den beiden Leitern 12, 13 und zwischen den Leitern 12, 13 und dem Fadenkern 11 zu vermeiden, weisen die Leiter 12, 13 an ihrer Außenfläche eine elektrisch isolierende Beschichtung oder einen elektrisch isolierenden Lack auf. Die Leiter haben beispielsgemäß einen Durchmesser von bis zu 0,1 mm oder 0,2 mm.The
Der erste Leiter 12 und der zweite Leiter 13 bilden beispielsgemäß ein Leiterpaar 14. Das Leiterpaar 14 ist Bestandteil eines kapazitiven Bauteils 15. Das kapazitive Bauteil 15 eines Sensorgarns einer bestimmten Länge hat eine Gesamtkapazität CG. In
Die Kapazität des kapazitiven Bauteils 15 hängt von dem konstruktiven Aufbau des Sensorgarns 10 ab. Das Sensorgarn 10 kann in nahezu beliebiger Länge hergestellt und auf eine Spule aufgewickelt werden. Bei der Einarbeitung des Sensorgarns 10 in ein Textilmaterialteil 16 hat ein Sensorgarn 10 einer bestimmten Länge die Gesamtkapazität CG. Diese Gesamtkapazität CG ändert sich, wenn das Sensorgarn 10 beaufschlagt wird, beispielsweise durch eine Kraft, wie etwa eine Druckkraft oder eine Zugkraft. Durch eine Längenänderung des Fadenkerns 11, der als Dielektrikum für das kapazitive Bauelement 15 dient und/oder eine Relativverschiebung des wenigstens einen ersten Leiters 12 relativ zum wenigstens einen zweiten Leiter 13, kann sich die Gesamtkapazität CG ändern. Dadurch stellt das Sensorgarn somit einen kapazitiven Sensor dar. Über eine Auswerteeinheit 17, die von einem Ende des Sensorgarns 10 an die beiden Leiter 12, 13 elektrisch angeschlossen ist, kann die aktuelle Gesamtkapazität CG ermittelt werden. Daraus lässt sich eine Einwirkung auf das Sensorgarn 10 ermitteln. Als sensierbare Einwirkung auf das Sensorgarn 10 lassen sich eine oder mehrere der folgenden Einwirkungen ermitteln:
- eine Kraft, wie beispielsweise Druckkraft oder/oder Zugkraft, oder eine Kraftänderung,
- eine Medienbeaufschlagung mit einem flüssigen oder dampfförmigen Medium,
- eine Annäherung eines Objekt,
- eine Temperaturänderung,
- und bei einer Ausführung des Sensorgarns auch eine Bestrahlung mit elektromagnetischen Wellen, insbesondere mit Licht.
- a force, such as compressive force and / or tensile force, or a force change,
- a medium with a liquid or vapor medium,
- an approach of an object,
- a temperature change,
- and in an embodiment of the sensor yarn also irradiation with electromagnetic waves, in particular with light.

In Abwandlung zu abschnittsweise konstanten Kapazitäten Cl pro Längeneinheit l kann die Kapazität Cl pro Längeneinheit l auch zumindest abschnittsweise kontinuierlich vergrößert oder verringert werden. Beispielsweise kann die Kapazität Cl pro Längeneinheit L von einem Minimalwert von beispielsweise 10 pF bis zu einem Maximalwert von 250 pF oder mehr stetig vergrößert und/oder umgekehrt vom Maximalwert bis zu dem Minimalwert stetig verringert werden. Solche sich kontinuierlich ändernden Abschnitte können auch aufeinanderfolgend im Sensorgarn 10 vorgesehen sein.In a modification to sections constant capacities Cl per unit length l, the capacity Cl per unit length l can be at least partially continuously increased or decreased. For example, the capacitance C L per unit length L may be steadily increased from a minimum value of, for example, 10 pF to a maximum value of 250 pF or more, and / or conversely continuously reduced from the maximum value to the minimum value. Such continuously changing sections may also be provided sequentially in the

Weiterhin könnte auch eine den Fadenkern 11 und die Leiter 12, 13 umhüllende Beschichtung vorgesehen sein, die den die Dielektrizitätszahl verändernden Werkstoff enthält oder aus solchem besteht.In the preferred embodiment described here, the dielectric constant changing material is used as a doping material in the base material of the

Das zweite Sensorgarn 10b enthält ein photosensitives Material 30. Dieses photosensitive Material 30 kann an einer beliebigen Stelle an dem Sensorgarn 10 angebracht bzw. in das Sensorgarn 10 eingebracht werden. Bei dem hier beschriebenen bevorzugten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das photosensitive Material 30 als Dotierungsmaterial in den Grundwerkstoff des Fadenkerns 11 eingebracht. Alternativ hierzu könnte der Fadenkern 11 auch aus photosensitivem Material bestehen. Weiterhin könnte auch eine den Fadenkern 11 und die Leiter 12, 13 umhüllende Beschichtung vorgesehen sein, die photosensitives Material 30 enthält oder aus solchem besteht.The

Das photosensitive zweite Sensorgarn 10b kann somit dazu verwendet werden, das Vorhandensein von einfallendem Licht L bzw. eine Intensitätsänderung zu detektieren. Beispielsweise könnte dadurch ein Beleuchtungssensor oder auch ein Helligkeitssensor realisiert werden. Ein solcher Sensor ließe sich mit Hilfe des Sensorgarns 10b in ein Beschattungstextil, beispielsweise ein Sonnenrollo oder dergleichen integrieren, das abhängig von der Sonneinstrahlung in seine ausgefahrene oder eingefahrene Position bewegt wird. Die Sensorik könnte daher integraler Bestandteil eines Sonnenschutzrollos sein und auf einen separaten Sensor könnte verzichtet werden.The photosensitive

Das erste Sensorgarn 10a und das zweite Sensorgarn 10b können auch gemeinsam in einem Textilmaterialteil 16 eingesetzt werden, wenn sowohl die Einwirkung von Licht L, als auch eine Annäherung eines Gegenstands an das Textilmaterialteil 16 und/oder eine Krafteinwirkung auf das Textilmaterialteil 16 und/oder eine Einwirkung durch ein flüssiges oder dampfförmiges Medium und/oder eine andere die Gesamtkapazität CG eines Sensorgarns 10 beeinflussende Einwirkung erfasst werden soll.The
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Sensorgarn 10. Das Sensorgarn 10b weist photosensitives Material 30 auf, so dass durch einfallendes Licht L eine Längenänderung bewirkt werden kann. Eine Längenänderung bzw. eine andere Verformung des Sensorgarns 10b führt dazu, dass sich die Gesamtkapazität CG des betreffenden Sensorgarns 10b ändert, was durch eine Auswerteeinheit 17 ermittelt werden kann.The invention relates to a
