Definitions
- the invention relates to a transparent pane with more than one heatable coating, a method for its production and its use.
- Vehicles are increasingly equipped with various sensors or camera systems. Examples are camera systems such as video cameras, night vision cameras, residual light intensifiers, laser range finders or passive infrared detectors. Vehicle identification systems are also increasingly being used, for example, for collecting tolls.
- Camera systems can use light in the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and infrared (IR) wavelength ranges. This means that objects, vehicles and people can be precisely identified even in poor weather conditions, such as darkness and fog. These camera systems can be placed in motor vehicles behind the windshield in the passenger compartment. They also offer the opportunity to recognize dangerous situations and obstacles in good time on the road.
- UV ultraviolet
- VIS visible
- IR infrared
- Panes can therefore have an electrical heating function.
- laminated panes which have a transparent, electrically conductive coating on an inside surface of one of the individual panes.
- An electric current can be conducted through the electrically conductive coating by an external voltage source, which current heats up the coating and thus the pane.
- WO2012/052315 A1 discloses such a heatable, electrically conductive metal-based coating.
- the electrical contacting of the electrical heating layer typically takes place via busbars, as is known from US2007/0020465 A1.
- the bus bars consist, for example, of a silver paste that is printed on and burned in.
- the busbars typically run along the top and bottom edges of the pane.
- the bus bars collect the current flowing through the electrically conductive coating and direct it to external leads that are connected to a voltage source.
- the busbars running along the upper and lower edges can also be used to heat several segments of a heating layer in order to provide a more even heating power distribution.
- Such an arrangement is known, for example, from US20150334779A1, US20170036646A1 and US2878357A1.
- the segments are formed, for example, by decoated separating lines with a width of 30 to 200 micrometers.
- the busbars have a typical strip-like shape.
- the area around the heating layer is free of electrically conductive coatings.
- US20120103961 A1 discloses a coated and heatable pane, which is partially decoated in a locally defined area.
- the partially stripped area can be used as a sensor window, for example.
- the locally delimited area has two collector conductors, which are arranged essentially parallel to the upper edge of the pane and are connected to one another via an ohmic resistor. This can improve the homogeneity of the electric field across the disk, minimizing hot and cold spots on the disk.
- US20030019860A1 discloses a heating layer over a windshield which is divided into multiple regions and which can be electrically heated by means of a multi-zone busbar arrangement.
- a general problem with heatable coatings is their still relatively high surface resistance, which requires a high operating voltage, which is higher than the normal on-board voltages of vehicles, in any case if the pane to be heated is large or if the current paths are long.
- Another problem in this context is the resulting power consumption, which is also increased, due to the high voltage required. If one wanted to lower the surface resistance, this would be possible with the previously known layer systems with a reduction in the transmission visible light, since the conductive layers would have to be thicker. This problem becomes particularly relevant when the sensor area is particularly large in terms of its surface area, as may be necessary when using more than one sensor, for example.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an improved pane with an electrically heatable sensor area, which can be heated quickly with the lowest possible voltage and power consumption.
- the pane according to the invention with an electrically heatable sensor area comprises at least the following features: a first pane with a surface, a first and a second electrically heatable coating and at least a first and a second busbar provided for connection to a voltage source.
- the first and second electrically heatable coatings are each applied to part of the surface and are not in physical contact with one another.
- the at least first and the at least second bus bar are connected to the first and the second electrically heatable coating in such a way that a first current path is formed via the first electrically heatable coating and a second current path is formed via the second electrically heatable coating for a heating current.
- the first bus bar is electrically connected both to the first electrically heatable coating and to the second electrically heatable coating.
- the electrical opposite pole to the first busbar so that a heating current can be formed via the first heatable coating and the second heatable coating, can be either only the second busbar or the second and a third busbar. If only the second busbar is the electrical opposite pole to the first busbar, then this is electrically connected both to the first electrically heatable coating and to the second electrically heatable coating.
- the second busbar is only with the first electrically heatable coating and the third bus bar is electrically connected to the second electrically heatable coating.
- the first busbar comprises at least one connection area and a first and a second contact area.
- the connection area is intended to be connected to the voltage source with a connection line, and the first and second contact areas are electrically conductively connected to the connection area.
- the first contact area is also materially and electrically connected to the first electrically heatable coating and the second contact area is connected to the second electrically heatable coating.
- the first contact area and the second contact area are preferably in the form of strips.
- the current path runs in particular over or through the first and second electrically heatable coating on the surface of the pane.
- the at least first and the at least second bus bar and the at least first and the at least second heatable coating are arranged in a sensor area.
- the sensor area can comprise a first and a second sensor window, which are arranged completely within the respective first or second heatable coating.
- the first sensor window being associated with the first heatable coating and the second sensor window being associated with the second heatable coating.
- the sensor window means the area on the pane according to the invention which is provided for an optical sensor to see through, so that optical beams which pass through the sensor window can be detected by the sensor.
- electrically connected or “electrically conductive” means within the meaning of the invention that the objects described are connected to one another in such a way that an electric current can flow through them when an electric voltage is applied.
- the objects described can be in physical contact with one another or can be connected to one another via one or more electrical connections (for example a cable).
- Panes with an electrically heatable sensor area which is suitable for viewing more than one sensor and in which the sensors are adjacent to one another, usually have a larger-area heatable coating than is provided for individual sensors. The heatable coating must also allow the highest possible transmission so that optical sensors can function properly.
- Ps is the power per unit area [Wnr 2 ]
- Rs is the sheet resistance [W sq 1 ]
- L is the distance between the busbars [m].
- the distance between the busbars refers to the length of the current path that forms between the busbars. So the distance between the contact points of the different busbars, which are connected to the first and second heatable coating. As can be seen from the formula, the electrical voltage can be reduced for the same power if the distance between the busbars is reduced.
- the invention is based on the finding that the arrangement of the at least first and second busbars can reduce the distance through which a heating current must flow.
- the distance from the first busbar at the point of contact with the second electrically heatable coating to the second busbar at the point of contact with the second electrically heatable coating is measured. This becomes analogous for the first electrically heatable coating and the contact points of the first and second bus bar measured.
- electrical work can be saved or the voltage required for heating the sensor area can be reduced. This benefit is particularly effective in modern electric vehicles, where increased electric power consumption is associated with reduced driving range.
- a voltage that is as standardized as possible and does not exceed 14 V is desired, since otherwise additional material costs could arise, for example for the use of a DC voltage converter.
- the first contact area and the second contact area of the first busbar are offset perpendicular to their direction of extension.
- the first contact area and the second contact area are also preferably in the form of strips and are arranged parallel to one another.
- the first busbar is connected to a voltage source, for example via an upper edge of the pane according to the invention.
- the first busbar and the first and second contact areas preferably extend perpendicularly to the upper edge of the pane.
- the first contact area and the second contact area can be connected by means of a connection area, which is arranged essentially perpendicularly to the direction in which the first and second contact areas extend. This results, for example, in a type of J-shape in a plan view of the pane.
- the first and the second contact area are each electrically connected directly to the connection area. This preferably results in a fork-like shape (symmetrical or asymmetrical Y-shape) in a plan view of the disc.
- the vertical displacement of the first and the second contact area is particularly preferred when the pane according to the invention is installed as a windscreen in a vehicle.
- the electrical contacting of busbars is usually done here via the upper or lower edge of the windshield.
- the sensor windows are preferably arranged next to one another along the upper or lower edge and not along the side edges connecting the upper and lower edge. In such a constellation, the advantageous use of the busbar according to the invention with the two contact areas in comparison to two busbars, each with only one contact area, becomes particularly clear.
- the first contact area and the second contact area of the first busbar are not in spatial contact with one another (ie they do not touch).

- the first contact area and the second contact area of the first bus bar are preferably arranged between the first heatable coating and the second heatable coating. Due to the distance between the contact areas, it is possible to selectively heat many different areas with as little material as possible. The distance plays a role in particular in the heating of sensor windows, since these are usually not arranged directly adjacent to one another, but rather at a distance from one another. The additional heating of this area between two sensor windows requires additional material (electrically heatable coating) and energy. For cost reasons, this should therefore be avoided.
- connection area of the first busbar is spatially directly connected to the first and second contact area of the first busbar.
- This configuration of the first busbar preferably resembles the shape of a two-pronged fork or a “Y” shape in the top view of the sensor area.
- the first busbar resembles a "J" shape in plan view.
- the first contact area and the second contact area of the first busbar are preferably arranged at a distance from one another of 10 mm to 10 cm, preferably 50 mm to 5 cm. This configuration requires particularly low material costs, since no additional components are required to connect the contact areas.
- connection area is spatially connected only to the first or second contact area.
- a connection area connects the first and second contact areas spatially directly and electrically conductively.
- the connection area is preferably located exclusively between the first and second contact area, so that as little material as possible has to be used. This refinement reduces the space required, since the connection area can be connected without widening the contact area. Since collecting conductors usually are masked on the pane for optical reasons, it makes sense to reduce the space required.
- the second busbar comprises at least one connection area, which is intended to be connected to the voltage source with a connection line, and a first and a second contact area, which are electrically conductively connected to the connection area.
- the first contact area is connected to the first electrically heatable coating and the second contact area is connected to the second electrically heatable coating.

- the second and third busbars are connected to the electrically heatable coatings in such a way that the first current path between the first busbar and the second busbar via the first electrically heatable coating and between the first busbar and the third busbar the second current path via the second heatable coating is shaped for a heating current.

- the senor which detects optical rays when looking through the first electrically heatable coating, cannot have a restricted view.
- the sensor which is transparent through the second electrically heatable coating optical beams detected, be subject to reduced visibility in the form of icing of the sensor window. In this case, only the heating current for the second heatable coating can be adjusted individually, whereas no current flows over the first heatable coating. Electrical work can thereby be saved.

- the first pane has an electrically conductive heating layer surrounding the first and the second heatable coating.
- the first and the second electrically heatable coating are surrounded by an electrically conductive coating, it is important to keep the amount and number of busbars small. Busbars must be routed over the surrounding electrically conductive heating layer in an electrically insulated manner in order to be able to be connected to the first and the second electrically heatable coating.

- the sensor area 3 is surrounded by a coating-free dividing line 11, which materially and galvanically (i.e for direct currents) separates from the surrounding heating layer 6.
- the dividing line 11 has a width of 100 ⁇ m, for example, in which the heating layer 6 has been completely removed.
- the dividing line 11 is produced, for example, by laser structuring (laser ablation).
- the dividing line 11 can have a greater width between the first and second heatable coating 10.1, 10.2.
- the first and second heatable coating 10.1, 10.2 are arranged within the sensor area 3 and each consist, for example, of a PET film that is coated with one or more indium tin oxide coatings.
- the layer thickness of all layers is, for example, in a range from 15 nm to 50 nm.
- the first and second heatable coating 10.1, 10.2 are not in physical contact with one another, but are separated by an uncoated area. They are arranged side by side in plan view of the pane 100 from the left side edge of the pane 100 to the right side edge of the pane 100 . As shown in FIG. 4, an arrangement from the top edge of pane 100 to the bottom edge of pane 100, ie from top to bottom, is also possible.
- the silver layer has a thickness of 300 nm, for example, and the PET film has a thickness of 0.1 mm, for example.
- the heatable coatings 10.1, 10.2 are arranged on the first disc 1.
- the first and second heatable coating 10.1, 10.2 are suitable for ensuring that an optical sensor 12 can see through.
- two sensor windows 2.1, 2.2, ie the areas of pane 100 through which an optical sensor 12 can detect an optical beam path are arranged completely inside the heatable coatings 10.1, 10.2.
- One sensor window 2.1 is arranged within the first heatable coating 10.1 and the other sensor window 2.2 is arranged within the second heatable coating 10.2. This arrangement makes it possible, for example, to attach two optical sensors 12, each with a heatable sensor window 2.1, 2.2, to the window pane 100 according to the invention.
- One of the sensors 12 is shown schematically in cross section in FIG. 1D.
- a left second bus bar 9.2 is arranged on the left edge area of the first heatable coating 10.1 and a right third bus bar 9.3 on the right edge area of the second heatable coating 10.2 on the heatable coatings 10.1, 10.2.
- These outer bus bars 9.2, 9.3 are separated from one another by a total distance M in the area of the heatable coatings 10.1, 10.2.
- a central first busbar 9.1 is arranged between the second and third busbars 9.2, 9.3.
- the middle first busbar 9.1 can be divided into three areas: a connection area 7.1, a first contact area 8.1 and a second contact area 8.2.
- the connection area 7.1 is electrically connected to a voltage source 5 and materially and electrically connected to the two contact areas 8.1, 8.2.
- the middle first bus bar 9.1 is “Y”-shaped in the plan view of the sensor area 3.
- the middle first bus bar 9.1 is arranged with the first contact area 8.1 on the right edge area of the first heatable coating 10.1 and with the second contact area 8.2 on the left edge area of the second heatable coating 10.2.
- the left second busbar 9.2 is at a distance L.1 from the first contact area 8.1 of the middle first busbar 9.1.
- the right third busbar 9.3 is at a distance L.2 from the second contact area 8.2 of the middle first busbar 9.1. Due to the arrangement of the busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, the total distance M is greater than the total individual distances L.1, L.2.
- the busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 contain silver particles, for example, and were applied using the screen printing process and then burned in.
- the first, second and third busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 shown in FIG. 1C can have physical contact with the heating layer 6 surrounding the sensor region 3. In this case, however, the busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 in the material contact with the heating layer 6 with a Surrounded electrical insulating layer, so that the bus bars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 are not electrically connected to the heating layer 6.
- the insulating layer is, for example, a polyimide-based polymeric coating.
- the second and third busbars 9.2, 9.3 have a different electrical potential than the central first busbar 9.1. This is necessary so that an electric current can flow between the left-hand second busbar 9.2 and the middle first busbar 9.1 and also between the right-hand third busbar 9.3 and the middle first busbar 9.1.
- the electrical voltage that can be applied across the first and second heatable coating 10.1, 10.2 can be set individually for each coating 10.1, 10.2 via the outer second and third bus bar 9.2, 9.3.
- the electric current flowing through the heatable coatings 10.1, 10.2 can cause the sensor area 3 and in particular the sensor windows 2.1, 2.2. be heated.
- Such an arrangement of heatable coatings 10.1, 10.2 and busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 enables the voltage of the first and second heatable coating 10.1, 10.2 to be set individually.
- the sensor windows 2.1, 2.2 can be heated independently of one another and as required by a heating current.
- the electrical resistance across the sensor area 3 can be reduced due to the arrangement of the central first busbar 9.1. This is related to the smaller distances L.1, L.2 between the left second bus bar 9.2 and the first contact area 8.1 and the right third bus bar 9.3 and the second contact area 8.2 compared to the total distance M.
- the lower resistance requires a lower voltage and associated lower power consumption than would be required in a generic example in which a heating current has to flow over a heatable coating with the total distance M.
- Each busbar 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 is led to a connection area, each with a connecting line 4.1. 4.2, 4.3, which connects the bus bars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 to a voltage source 5.
- the connecting lines 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 can be designed as foil conductors known per se, which are electrically conductively connected via a contact surface to the first, second and third busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, for example by means of a soldering compound, an electrically conductive adhesive or by simple Resting and pressing within the pane 100.
- the foil conductor contains, for example, a tinned copper foil with a width of 10 mm and a thickness of 0.3 mm. The foil conductors can go into connection cables that are connected to the voltage source 5.
- the voltage source 5 provides, for example, an on-board voltage that is customary for motor vehicles, preferably from 12 V to 15 V and, for example, about 14 V.
- the 14 V voltage source can also have higher voltages, for example from 35 V to 45 V and in particular 42 V.
- the first, second and third busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 have a constant thickness of, for example, approximately 10 ⁇ m and a constant specific resistance of, for example, 2.3 pOhmvcm.

- first, second and third busbars 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 and the connections and the connecting lines 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 can be covered by opaque layers of paint known per se as a cover print (not shown here).
- the pane 100 comprises a first pane 1 and a second pane 13, which are connected to one another via a thermoplastic intermediate layer 14.
- the pane 100 is, for example, a vehicle pane and in particular the windshield of a passenger car, which has an upper edge and an opposite lower edge as well as two shorter side edges.

- the first pane 1 and the second pane 13 are made of soda-lime glass.
- the thickness of the first pane 1 is 1.6 mm, for example, and the thickness of the second pane 13 is 2.1 mm.
