Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laser cut pattern for thin film heaters.
- Transparent thin-film heaters are already being used in a wide variety of applications, for example as a windshield in motor vehicles, as heatable mirrors or as radiators in living spaces.
- thin-film heaters in the form of heated windscreens or rear windows can be used to keep the vehicle windows ice-free and fogging-free.
- energy costs increase, homes are getting better and better insulated.
- Especially low-energy and passive houses need only low heat outputs due to their good insulation, but they should always be available flexibly.
- Radiators with low heat dissipation, such as glass thin-film radiators are also well suited in this area of responsibility.
- Such electrically operated thin-film heaters have only a short heating phase and are able to deliver their radiant heat quickly, which makes them particularly interesting for use in passive houses.
- Thin-film heaters can be installed without much effort and require only one power supply, which eliminates the costly installation of a complete heating system and associated piping systems. Furthermore, thin-film heaters are not only suitable for wall mounting, but can also be installed freely in the room. Transparent thin-film heaters can also be used as decorative elements by their visually appealing shape. In this case, a diverse design of the glass surface is possible, for example by screen printing. However, the design freedom of the design of thin-film heaters is limited since the required power is not high enough for all radiator formats. The previously known thin-film heaters are available only in standard formats, long narrow radiators are not yet feasible.
- DE 36 44 297 A1 discloses a windshield having a conductive transparent coating having a plurality of slots in this coating. In the area of the slots, the coating is removed, whereby no current flows in these areas. This structuring results in current paths in the coating. Upon application of a voltage, the coating heats up, wherein the current density in the individual regions can be controlled in a controlled manner by the choice of the slot pattern. Thus, certain areas of the disc can be primarily freed from ice.
- EP 0 250 386 discloses a transparent glass radiation heating, which is preferably used as heatable window glazing.
- the radiator consists of several parallel mounted glass plates of which at least one glass plate contains a metal coating on its surface.
- the metal coating is extremely thin and thus has no undesirable effects on the transparency of the glass heater. Due to its small thickness, this metal coating acts as a resistor when it is connected to a circuit and heats up due to the so-called Joule effect. Between the heated metal coating and the adjacent arrangement, a further metal layer is introduced, which reflects the radiant heat. Thus, the entire generated radiant heat is emitted in one direction.
- the two metal layers are separated by an electrically insulating air chamber.
- the plate member includes a glass sheet provided with an electrically conductive coating. This coating is divided into rungs via dividing lines. On the coating two closely adjacent electrodes are applied. By applying a voltage, the current flows through the current paths from one electrode to the other. The coating acts as a resistor and is thereby heated. The current paths are arranged parallel to each other and interlaced, whereby the Electricity should be distributed as evenly as possible over the entire surface of the coating. Between these active regions of the coating connected to the electrodes there are passive regions in which no current flows. These passive areas are located between the active areas of the coating and serve for homogeneous temperature distribution. By delivering heat to the unheated passive areas of the coating, the heated active areas can intercept and smooth peak temperature distribution. The passive areas act as heat sinks.
- Thin-film radiators generally comprise two glass plates laminated together, between which an electrically conductive layer is applied to one of the two glass surfaces.
- the electrically conductive layer is patterned by means of a laser, so that in the electrically conductive layer, a cutting pattern of a plurality of Schustrompfaden is formed along which the current flows.
- the resulting heating field should allow the most homogeneous possible heating of the electrically conductive coating.
- all Schustrompfade have a similar resistance and thus have a similar length. Especially with large narrow radiators, the outside heating path is too long according to the previously known patterns.
- radiators are limited with the previously known patterns in their geometry, since such patterns are not suitable for large narrow radiator. Furthermore, only radiators with comparatively low power can be produced with the previously known patterns. The previously known radiators are expensive to manufacture because the patterns used extend over the entire surface of the conductive coating. For this reason, the time required and thus the costs for the laser process are enormously high.
- the object of the invention is to provide a thin-film heater which is inexpensive to produce and delivers high and homogeneous heating even with long narrow heater geometries.
- the object of the present invention is fiction, by a thin-film heater with pyramidal laser pattern and its use according to the independent claims 1, 15 and 16 solved. Preferred embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.
- the thin-film heating element comprises at least one pane composite consisting of two panes and a laminating film, wherein at least one of the panes on the inside has an electrically conductive coating and at least two connection electrodes for contacting the conductive coating.
- the thin-film heater has two long sides and two short sides, and preferably has a narrow, tall shape where the long side is at least twice as long as the short side. On the short side of the thin-film heater are at least two terminal electrodes that contact the conductive coating. At least one cutting pattern is introduced into the conductive coating, the conductive coating being removed in the region of the cutting pattern.
- connection electrodes As a result, in the conductive coating, heating current paths, which connect the connection electrodes and are traversed by current when a voltage is applied to the connection electrodes, are generated.
- the conductive coating has an exceptional pyramidal pattern, in which large parts of the coating need not be patterned.
- the pattern is composed of long cut lines that run parallel to the long side of the thin-film heater, and short cut lines that are parallel to the short side of the thin-film heater together.
- the long cut lines are not necessarily longer than the short cut lines, but only defined as such due to their parallelism to the long side edge. The same applies to the short cutting lines.
- a heating field which is divided by the short cutting lines into several sections n, where n is an integer> 1.
- the number of sections is not fixed and can be variably adjusted to the desired radiator geometry. Preferably, patterns with five to six sections are used.
- a section n comprises a short cutting line and the long cutting lines between this and the subsequent vertical cutting line and ends before the subsequent perpendicular cutting line.
- the following vertical section line is generally the short section line of the following section n + 1.
- the last section the following vertical cut line corresponds however, the final cut line.
- the number of long cut lines per section n + 1 increases as compared to the previous section n, while its length decreases.
- a heater panel contains at least two sections, a first section and a last section. Between these two sections are optionally further sections, which are referred to as the middle sections.
- the first and the last section of the heating field in contrast to the middle sections a slightly modified structure.
- the middle sections are the same in their general construction.
- the first section differs from the subsequent sections in that it does not begin with a short cut line.
- a first outer long cutting line and a second outer long cutting line each begin at the inner edges of the terminal electrodes and terminate before the first short cutting line of the subsequent section. Between the two outer long cut lines originate one or more inner long cut lines. These inner long cutting lines meet the first short cutting line of the following section.
- the pattern ends with a short cut line, on which the inner long cut lines of this section hit. However, no further long cut lines go beyond the final cut line.
- the thin-film heater according to the invention in the production is much cheaper than the known in the prior art radiators, since the laser time can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the thin-film heater according to the invention enables higher heat outputs and new radiator geometries.
- the number of long cut lines per section n in section n + 1 increases in comparison to the previous section n and the length of the long cut lines decreases in section n + 1.
- the number of long cut lines per section n in the section n + 1 increases by two long cut lines compared to the previous section n, and the length of the long cut lines is halved in the section n + 1.
- the conductive coating is preferably mounted on the inside of one of the two panes, but may also be applied to the insides of both panes, resulting in two opposing heating fields.
- An edge region of the conductive coating is separated from the heating field by a peripheral parting line.
- the circumferential parting line is located at a small distance from the edge of the pane, so that a narrow edge area results, which preferably has a width of 0.5 cm to 2 cm.
- this edge region is electrically insulated. In this way, corrosion of the conductive coating is prevented in the heating field, as a beginning of the outer edge corrosion can not continue beyond the circumferential parting line.
- the pattern of the thin-film heater is preferably mirror-symmetrical over its longer centerline. As a longer center line while the center line is referred to, which is parallel to the long side of the thin-film heater. This symmetry ensures that the heating current paths have a constant area. This achieves a constant current density along the entire coating. At the same time, the number of laser cuts needed to create the pattern is minimized. However, pyramidal patterns are also conceivable which have no mirror symmetry along the center line.
- a plurality of cutting patterns can be introduced in the conductive coating.
- two patterns are used whose long cutting lines are parallel to each other and to the long side of the thin-film heater. This results in two mirror-symmetric small heating fields on the thin-film heater whose outer Schwarzstrompfade each have an adequate length, so that a good heating performance is guaranteed.
- adjacent patterns have a common terminal electrode of the same polarity located between the patterns on the short side of the thin-film heater.
- the terminal electrodes of the opposite polarity are also located above and below the cutting pattern also on the short side of the thin-film heating element.
- the final cutting line in the last section of the heating field can also optionally coincide with the circulating dividing line.
- Such a pattern is chosen especially for large heaters with multiple patterns. This is how the outside is going Heating path lengthened, whereby a uniform heating is possible even with multiple patterns per thin-film heater.
- the Schumpfade between the terminal electrodes with opposite polarity have the same path length and thus also the same resistance in all sections of the thin-film heater according to the invention.
- the outside heating current paths are flowed through by electricity to the same extent as the internal heating current paths. In this way, a uniform heating of all coating areas and thus a higher performance of the thin-film heater can be ensured.
- the first and the second pane of the thin-film heating element contain soda-lime glass, quartz glass and / or borosilicate glass. Float glass is preferably used.
- the glass sheets are preferably thermally biased.
- the first and the second disc of the thin-film heater have a thickness of from 1 mm to 20 mm. Preferably, slices of thickness 2 mm to 8 mm are used.
- the laminating film comprises polyvinyl butyral, ethylene vinyl acetate, polyurethane and / or mixtures and / or copolymers thereof.
- polyvinyl butyral is used.
- the laminating film has a thickness of from 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm, preferably from 0.3 mm to 0.5 mm.
- the conductive coating of the thin-film heating element can be both silver, gold, copper, indium, tin, zinc and / or mixtures and / or oxides and / or alloys thereof, as well as TCO (transparent conductive oxide) layers such as indium tin oxide ( ITO).
- TCO transparent conductive oxide
- ITO indium tin oxide
- Silver coatings of several individual layers of silver are preferably used.
- an antireflection coating of the silver layer can be effected by means of silicon nitride.
- the conductive coating is thermally highly resilient and can thus be applied to the surface before tempering the glass sheets.
- the conductive coating is preferably applied by vapor deposition techniques, for example chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or physical vapor deposition (PVD). Particular preference is given to using sputtering processes, for example magnetron sputtering. By means of these methods, the metal layer can be applied very evenly to the surface of the glass sheet.
- the conductive coating has a thickness of from Im to 500 nm, preferably from 50 nm to 250 nm.
- the conductive coating has a sheet resistance of 0.5 ⁇ to 15 ⁇ per square, preferably 1 ⁇ to 10 ⁇ per square, more preferably 2 ⁇ to 7 ⁇ per square.
- the surface resistance of the coating must be adjusted so that the thin-film heater reaches a maximum temperature of 80 ° C to 90 ° C during operation, as required by DIN EN 60335. This temperature limitation prevents persons from getting burned when they touch the thin-film radiator.
- the greater the thickness or the conductor cross-section of the conductive coating the lower the sheet resistance. With low surface resistances higher current intensities occur at the same voltage, whereby larger powers are achieved. Higher currents, however, also cause a higher temperature of the thin-film heater.
- the maximum possible outputs are therefore limited by the temperature limitation of 80 ° C to 90 ° C. Since the current levels depend on both the resistance and the applied voltage, thin-film heaters with different surface resistances, which are adapted to the local grid voltages, are provided worldwide. For the American market with mains voltages of 110 V, thin-film heaters with lower surface resistances are therefore produced than for the European market with mains voltages of usually 230 V.
- the pattern in the conductive coating is produced by means of lasers, etching and / or ablation. Preference is given to using laser processes for removing the coating.
- the lasing takes place with a wavelength of 300 nm to 1300 nm. The wavelength used depends on the type of coating. Pulsed solid-state lasers are preferably used as the laser source. In the area of the cut lines, at least 80 percent by weight, preferably at least 90 percent by weight of the metal coating is removed from the glass surface.
- the thin-layer heating element according to the invention has two or more connection electrodes with an elongate shape. These are located on the short side of the thin-film heater and are aligned parallel to this short side.
- connection electrodes can be applied to the pane either before or after the deposition of the conductive coating.
- the connection electrodes are preferably applied after deposition of the conductive coating.
- an electrically conductive metal paste is applied to the inner side of the disk and then baked.
- the terminal electrodes are located on the same side of the disc as the electrically conductive coating, whereby a permanent electrical contact between terminal electrode and conductive coating is ensured by burning the metal paste.
- the metal paste preferably contains silver, gold, platinum, palladium, copper, nickel, manganese, iron and / or mixtures or alloys thereof, particularly preferably silver.
- the connection electrodes are connected to the power source via an electrical conductor.
- the invention comprises a method for producing a thin-film heating element with a pyramidal laser pattern.

- two or more terminal electrodes are applied by baking an electrically conductive metal paste. The terminal electrodes are applied as elongated strips parallel to the short side of the first disc and contact the conductive coating.
- first pane On the inside of the first pane, which carries the conductive coating and the connection electrodes, a laminating film is placed in the next step and a second pane is placed on the laminating film.
- This arrangement of first disc with conductive coating and terminal electrodes, laminating film and second disc is first pre-evacuated and finally in the autoclave for 2.5 hours at 80 ° C to 135 ° C and 7 bar to 13 bar laminated.
- the invention comprises the use of a thin-film heating element as a functional and / or decorative single piece and / or as a built-in part in furniture, appliances, buildings and vehicles.
- the thin-film radiator according to the invention is preferably used as a freestanding or wall-mounted radiator in living spaces, as heatable facade glazing or as a heatable vehicle window, ship window or aircraft windscreen.

As a long side of the thin-film heater, to which the long cutting lines are parallel, thereby defining the voltage applied to the long side radiator tangent is defined.
- Other embodiments of the thin film heater according to the invention with a pyramidal laser pattern include a breakage sensor in the edge strip of the thin film heater. The edge strip is divided into different areas. In one of these areas a weak voltage is applied. Damage to the radiator can thus be detected by a drop in the voltage in this area.
- Other embodiments of the thin film heater with pyramidal laser pattern include thin film heater with Messstrompfaden for temperature measurement at different points of the radiator.

- II medium temperature
- III colder area

- the thin-film heater according to the prior art has especially in the lower area (Length section / s , Table 2) over a very high edge portion of about 34%, which decreases towards the top, but does not fall below 20%.
- the problem of lack of homogeneity occurs especially in long narrow radiators, since the outboard Schustrompfad has thin film heaters according to the prior art, too high a resistance.
- this particularly narrow high shape of the thin film heater according to the invention surprisingly, an extraordinarily high homogeneity can be achieved.
