Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a device for at least one electronic component on a textile, such as a functional textile designed to have sensors or protective workwear, like gloves. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the device according to the invention. Background Technology

[0002] From the unpublished DE patent application with document number 10 2020 201 360.8, an apparatus for at least one electronic component on a textile is known, wherein a receiving space for arranging at least one electronic component is constructed in the lower part of the button, and in the case where a textile layer with at least one electronic component is inserted in the middle, the lower part of the button is connected to a preferably annular connecting element. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Against this backdrop, a novel device for at least one electronic component on a textile is introduced. The device includes a push-button first element, wherein a receiving space for housing at least one electronic component is constructed within the first element. Alternatively or additionally, the first element has the electronic component, or the electronic component is at least partially arranged within, on, or contained therein in the first element. The first element is designed to connect with, or be connectable to, a preferably annular connecting element when inserted into a textile layer of the textile. Alternatively or additionally, at least one electronic component may be arranged on the textile layer of the textile. The device is characterized in that the first element, the textile, and / or the connecting element are designed to be at least partially material-fittingly connected to or interconnectable with each other. In another embodiment, the connecting element may have a particularly circular, continuous bottom surface.

[0004] In embodiments where the first element has a receiving space for arranging at least one electronic component, the electronic component can already be arranged on or integrated into the textile. For example, the electronic component can be designed as a functional element or functional application, particularly a functional sequin, and can be mechanically connected and electrically contacted with the textile by means of conductive threads or yarns.

[0005] In embodiments where the first element already includes an electronic component, the electronic component can be cast into the first element using resin or the like, such that only its electrical contact points or contact sites are exposed. In both embodiments, the electronic component, in addition to having a preferably flexible circuit board or printed circuit board, may also have electrical, electronic, optical, or mechanical devices or combinations thereof disposed thereon. Optical devices may be, for example, LEDs. Furthermore, these devices can be designed as sensors, actuators, and / or acoustic, tactile, and / or optical signal generators.

[0006] The textile can be at least a part of clothing. In a preferred design variation, the button-type first element is designed as a receiving portion or a button lower portion, and has the function of a button lower portion. In one variation, the receiving portion is only designed as a button-type lower portion, without the function of a button lower portion. The embodiments described below as button-type first elements also apply accordingly to button lower portions or receiving portions.

[0007] Advantages of the present invention The advantage of this device is that it can be manufactured particularly simply and therefore economically, and in particular, it can provide excellent mechanical protection for at least one electronic component, as well as ensure particularly secure electrical contact with at least one electronic component. Furthermore, depending on the design of the first element, at least one electronic component can also be better protected from harmful media such as moisture and gases.

[0008] The present invention is based on the concept of connecting a button-type first element with at least one electronic component and a connecting element to a single unit with at least partial material fit, wherein the electronic component is fully arranged in or integrated into the receiving space of the first element. This allows for simultaneous arrangement of at least one electronic component in the receiving space and / or simultaneous electrical contact when the first element is connected to the textile layer, thereby enabling the connection of the first element and the arrangement and / or electrical contact of the at least one electronic component to occur simultaneously and in the same working process.

[0009] Advantageous improvements to the device according to the invention for at least one electronic component on textiles are given in the dependent claims.

[0010] On the one hand, in order to enable the connection between the first element and the textile layer to arrange at least one electronic component in the receiving space as simply or without problems as possible, and on the other hand, in order to maximize the size of the receiving space by taking into account the structural dimensions of at least one electronic component, it is specified that: the receiving space, preferably constructed in a bowl shape, has an opening on the side facing at least one electronic component for inserting at least one electronic component into the receiving space, and the connecting element radially surrounds the receiving space.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, the material fit connection between the first element, the textile, and / or the connecting element is formed along a path surrounding the first element. In this case, the material fit connection along this path can be designed circumferentially and / or continuously. This ensures a particularly robust connection between the first element, the textile, and / or the connecting element.

[0012] Additionally or alternatively, it is specified that the material fit between the textile and the connecting elements is designed in a planar manner, which makes the device particularly stable in this area and resistant to external influences.

[0013] In another preferred embodiment, the material fit connection between the first element and the textile is formed at at least two locations. Particularly preferably, the material fit connection between the electronic component and the textile is formed at at least two locations. These at least two locations are locally arranged at and / or near the contact area or contact point of the electronic component. The contact area or contact point is here accessible or contacted by conductive threads. The material fit connections formed at at least two locations are electrically isolated from each other, thus preventing short circuits. Particularly preferably, the material fit connections are here designed to be conductive.

[0014] In another embodiment, at least one adhesive-containing reservoir may be provided on the first element and / or beneath the textile, such that when the first element and the connecting element are engaged, the adhesive is released to form a material-fit connection. This allows for a particularly simple material-fit connection between the first element, especially an electronic component, the textile, and / or the connecting element. Depending on the adhesive chosen, the material-fit connection can be designed to be elastic or inelastic, transparent or opaque, breathable or impermeable, and / or conductive or insulating.

[0015] Particularly advantageously, the first element has a preferably annular receiving portion designed to at least partially accommodate the connecting element, and at least one storage portion is arranged or may be arranged within or at the receiving portion. Here, at least one storage portion may be arranged continuously or partially at one or more locations within the receiving portion. Alternatively, preferably, a plurality of storage portions with gaps between them may be arranged side by side within the receiving portion.

[0016] In another preferred embodiment, at least one or more storage portions are designed as a capsule, and are designed such that when the first element and the connecting element are engaged, the capsule ruptures, and the adhesive is released at least partially. Depending on the size, shape, number, and / or distribution of the capsule, the adhesive can be released in a point-like manner, preferably in multiple separate areas or locations, or over a large area. Particularly preferably, the adhesive can be released in a locally defined manner.

[0017] In a particularly preferred embodiment, at least one or more storage portions contain a conductive adhesive. This allows, on the one hand, a robust, material-fitting connection to be formed easily between the first element, the textile, and / or the connecting element; and on the other hand, by strategically placing this or these storage portions, the contact points or contact sites of the electronic components can be material-fittedly connected to conductive threads or yarns disposed in the textile for their electrical contact.

[0018] In one embodiment, the adhesive cures without any additional auxiliary operations.

[0019] Furthermore, it is advantageous that the adhesive can be cured by the input of heat, light, and / or chemical energy, particularly by adding water or by applying high humidity to the adhesive. This allows for the targeted initiation and / or control of the formation of bonds between the materials.

[0020] In another embodiment, at least two shells may be specified to contain different adhesive-components that mix to form a two-component adhesive upon shell rupture and thus harden. It is advantageous that the at least two shells are arranged directly adjacent to each other such that the two shells rupture substantially simultaneously when the first element and the connecting element engage, and thus the two different adhesive-components can be mixed.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the textile is designed to be waterproof and / or has a waterproof coating or film. This ensures in a simple way that no water or moisture can penetrate the textile into the containment space and / or reach the electronic components.

[0022] In a structurally preferred design of the first element and the connecting element, the first element has a longitudinal axis, and the connecting element is designed as a serrated ring. The serrated ring has protruding serrations in the direction of the first element that can be inserted into an annular receiving portion of the first element in the direction of the longitudinal axis for connection with the first element, and is designed to be plastically deformable within the receiving portion.

[0023] To form the first element and its connection to the connecting element as cheaply and technically simplely as possible, it is specified that both the first element and the connecting element are designed as sheet metal pieces, and the connecting element preferably has a lower hardness than the first element. Through the last-mentioned feature, it is possible to plastically deform the serrations of the connecting element while the first element remains undeformed.

[0024] Typically, at least one electronic component contacts an electrical conductor or connection disposed within the textile layer, for example, to power at least one electronic component, or for connection to another electronic device, such as a sensor. The electrical conductor may be designed as conductive thread or yarn. To prevent damage to the electrical conductor in the textile layer when the first element is inserted into the middle of the textile layer and connected to the connecting element, it is specified that at least one electronic component contacts the electrical conductor disposed within the textile layer, and the conductor is arranged between the teeth of the connecting element within the textile layer.

[0025] The device described herein is suitable for accommodating different types of electronic components within the housing space of a first element. To ensure particularly good functionality of at least one electronic component according to its design, another preferred design of the device specifies that the first element is at least partially perforated, or designed flexibly or transparently for cooperation with at least one electronic component, and that at least one electronic component specifically includes a gas sensor, a pressure sensor, or an LED element. Thus, when using a gas sensor as an electronic component, it is feasible to allow gas to enter the gas sensor through at least one opening or perforation. The at least partially transparent design of the first element allows for external identification of activation when the LED lighting element is activated. The at least partially flexible design of the first element, for example, enables the mechanical actuation of a pressure sensor designed as a switch. This also allows for the measurement of atmospheric pressure or ambient pressure. Perforations, etc., are also suitable for microphones and / or speakers to create an encapsulation that transmits or allows sound to pass through.

[0026] The first element described herein can serve as a component of the button, preferably integrated with the upper part of the button, and has an additional function, for example, by closing a pocket (Tasche). In this modification, it is therefore specified that, in addition to the first element for forming a latching connection, the button also includes an upper part of the button that cooperates with the first element.

[0027] The aforementioned advantages are also applicable in a corresponding manner to a method for manufacturing an apparatus, particularly according to one of the above embodiments, for at least one electronic component on a textile. The method comprises at least the following steps: First, at least one adhesive-containing storage portion is arranged on a button-type first element and / or beneath a textile layer of the textile, wherein a receiving space for arranging at least one electronic component is constructed in the first element, and / or the first element includes the electronic component. Then, in a further step, the textile layer of the textile is arranged between the first element and a connecting element. Optionally, the electronic component is arranged on the textile layer beforehand or during this process. Finally, the first element and the connecting element are connected such that the adhesive is at least partially released from the storage portion, and thus the first element, the textile, and / or the connecting element are at least partially materially connected to each other. This step may optionally occur when at least one electronic component is housed within the receiving space of the first element.

[0028] This allows for the manufacture of a device in a particularly simple and therefore economically advantageous manner, capable of providing exceptionally good mechanical protection for at least one electronic component, as well as ensuring exceptionally secure electrical contact with it. Furthermore, depending on the design of the first element, at least one electronic component can also be better protected from harmful media, such as moisture, gases, etc. Particularly advantageously, this can be accomplished in one and the same working process.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, in the step of arranging at least one storage portion, the storage portion is arranged such that the adhesive is released during the connection step, thereby forming a material fit connection between the first element, the textile, and / or the connecting element along a path around the first element, particularly annular and / or continuous, and / or planar between the textile and the connecting element. This results in a particularly robust encapsulation of the electronic assembly.

[0030] In another preferred embodiment, in the step of arranging at least one storage portion, the storage portion is arranged such that, in the connection step, a preferably conductive adhesive is released, thereby forming a material fit connection between the first element, preferably an electronic component, and the textile at at least two locations. These locations are locally arranged at and / or near contact areas or contact points of the electronic component that are accessible or contacted by conductive threads, and wherein the material fit connections formed at the at least two locations are electrically isolated from each other. Preferably, the material fit connection between the electronic component and the textile can be formed in the connection step. This is particularly advantageous in the case of conductive adhesives, because it allows for and / or improves the electrical contact with the electronic component or the connection between the conductive threads or yarns and the electronic component.

[0031] Furthermore, it is advantageous that, during the joining step, the connecting element disrupts at least one or more reservoirs designed as shells, and releases the adhesive at least locally, particularly locally defined. Optionally, the connecting element can be designed as a serrated ring. The connecting element is preferably specifically designed to locally and specifically disrupt one or more shells correspondingly arranged or positioned on the first element and / or textile. This allows for very precise determination of one or more locations where a material fit is formed. Particularly in the case of conductive adhesives, this can be achieved by correspondingly pre-positioning the shells to ensure that the formed material fit is electrically decoupled from each other.

[0032] A particularly preferred design of the method optionally specifies that the connection between the first element and the connecting element is achieved, for example, by forming a force-fitted connection through local plastic deformation of the connecting element. Attached Figure Description

[0033] Embodiments of the present invention are schematically illustrated in the accompanying drawings and explained in more detail in the following description. Elements shown in different drawings and functioning similarly are referred to by the same reference numerals, wherein repeated descriptions of elements are omitted.

Figure 4 A schematic top view of a connecting element connected to a textile layer prior to connection with a button-type first element, according to one embodiment, is shown. Figure 5 It shows according to Figure 2 A schematic top view of the device; and Figure 6 A flowchart of a method for manufacturing an electronic component with a dielectric-sealed package according to another embodiment is shown. Detailed Implementation

[0035] In these figures, the same elements or elements with the same function are labeled with the same reference numerals.

[0036] Figure 1The image shows a device 100 for at least one electronic component 1 on a textile T. The device 100 includes a button 10 having a button upper portion 12 and a button-type first element 14, which form a locking connection (not shown) by axial engagement in the direction of the longitudinal axis 15 in a manner known per se.

[0037] The upper part 12 of the button consists of an annular locking ring 16, which directly engages with the button-type first element 14, which is designed as the lower part 14 of the button, and is connected to the cap 18, for example, in the case of a textile layer into which textile T is inserted. For this purpose, the cap 18 has nail-like or serrated protrusions 20 that pierce the textile layer 5 and are connected to the locking ring 16 by plastic deformation.

[0038] The lower part 14 of the button cooperates with the connecting element 22. The connecting element is preferably designed in the form of a serrated ring 24. Here, a textile layer 6 is arranged or sandwiched between the connecting element 22 and the lower part 14 of the button. Whether it is the lower part 14 of the button, the connecting element 22, or the serrated ring 24, they are all designed as sheet pieces, wherein the material of the serrated ring 24 preferably has a lower hardness or strength than the material of the lower part 14 of the button.

[0039] Exemplary, and not limiting, at least one electronic component 1 includes electronic circuitry, a pressure sensor, a gas sensor, an LED light-emitting element, or a similar device. Furthermore, at least one electronic component 1 is connected to the textile layer 6 in a manner not shown in detail, for example, via conductive threads or yarns.

[0040] At least one electronic component 1 is further characterized in that it makes contact via electrical wires 8, for example, with a power source (not shown), with other electronic components or sensors or similar elements, which can only be contacted via electrical wires 8. Figure 4 As seen in the image, the filaments 8, which are preferably designed to be conductive, are disposed in the textile layer 6.

[0041] The serrated ring 24 has, for example, four serrations 25 extending parallel to the longitudinal axis 15, each serration being staggered from the other by 90° about the longitudinal axis 15. In the state of engagement with the textile layer 6, the serrations 25 of the serrated ring 24 are arranged according to… Figure 3 The arrangement is such that the serrations 25 are positioned outside the conductor 8.

[0042] The lower part 14 of the button has a bowl-shaped receiving space 26 with an approximately rectangular cross-section. This receiving space has an opening 28 on the side facing at least one electronic component 1, which preferably at least approximately corresponds to the cross-section of the receiving space 26. The receiving space 26 is radially surrounded, or on its outer periphery, by an annular retaining section 30. This retaining section has an annular receiving portion 32 on the side facing the serrations 25 of the serrated ring 24, the receiving portion having an insertion opening 34 oriented in relation to the serrations 25. In the receiving portion 32, at least one or more storage portions 40 are provided on the lower side surface 33 of the lower part 14 and / or on the lower side surface 6a of the textile T. The storage portion 40 contains a preferably conductive adhesive 42. The storage portion 40 is designed as a breakable or fractureable receiving portion, particularly a shell 44. Depending on the size, number, and / or spatial arrangement of the shells 44 within or above the device 100, after the button lower portion 14, textile T, and connecting element 22 are engaged, a material-fitting connection can be formed either pointwise, particularly at points or locations where they are electrically separated, in a strip around the device 100, or over a large area between the button lower portion 14, textile T, and / or connecting element 22. This is because, upon engagement of the button lower portion 14, textile T, and connecting element 22, the shells 44 or multiple shells 44 are compressed and thereby rupture, releasing the adhesive 42 contained therein. The adhesive 42 can harden without further auxiliary operation. Alternatively, the adhesive 42 can be designed to cure by thermal energy input, light energy input, and / or chemical energy input, particularly by adding water or exposing the adhesive 42 to atmospheric moisture. Alternatively, preferably adjacent shells 44 can contain two different adhesive-components, which are mixed after the shells 44 rupture and thus can cure into a two-component adhesive.

[0043] The wall of the lower part 14 of the button may have perforations 36 and be elastically deformable, at least in the area of ​​the receiving space 26, but may also be made of a transparent material to ensure the desired function of the electronic component 1, depending on the design of at least one electronic component 1. Furthermore, for example, it may be specified that the upper part 12 of the button is at least indirectly electrically contacted with at least one electronic component 1 to enable, for example, programming of the IC, charging of the battery, etc. In the latter case, it is additionally necessary to make the lower part 14 of the button electrically connected to the corresponding electronic component.

[0044] Figure 2 The diagram shows the area of ​​the button-type first element or the lower part 14 of the button in the engaged state. Figure 1A schematic longitudinal cross-section of a portion of the device. The hardened adhesive 42 at least partially or even completely encapsulates the electronic component 1 within the device 100 formed by the lower button 14, the textile T, and the connecting element 22. Here, the textile T may be designed to be waterproof and / or have a waterproof coating or film. Alternatively or additionally, the connecting element 22 may have a particularly circular, continuous bottom surface 22a, which is materially bonded to the lower side surface 6a of the textile T substantially below the electronic component 1 by the adhesive 42, thereby further improving the encapsulation of the device 100.

[0045] exist Figure 3 The left figure shows a schematic longitudinal cross-section of a device 100 with a button-type first element 14 on a textile T in an unattached state according to one embodiment, the first element including at least one electronic component 1. The device 100 substantially corresponds to... Figure 1 The device 100 in the middle. The device 100 and Figure 1 The difference in the device 100 is that, prior to engagement of the button lower portion 14 and the connecting element 22 designed as a serrated ring 24 (indicated by arrow 41), the electronic component 1 is already included in the button lower portion 14 with the textile T inserted in the middle. This is preferably achieved by integrating the electronic component 1 into the receiving space 26 of the button lower portion 14, and in particular by casting or encapsulating it with a casting material 27. As a result, the electronic component 1 is protected from external influences, especially from moisture, dust, or humidity. Only contact points or contact positions, designed as contact pins 29, necessary for signal or energy-related contact of the electronic component 1, protrude from the casting material 27. When the button lower portion 14 and the connecting element 22 are engaged with the textile T inserted in the middle, these contact pins 29 are electrically connected to the conductive threads 8 integrated in the textile T. To make the formed electrical connection particularly secure, at least two reservoirs 40 with conductive adhesive 42 are provided in the receiving portion 32 and / or on the lower side 33 of the button lower portion 14. The storage section 40 is designed as a breakable or fractureable containment, particularly the casing 44. The contact pin 29 is electrically and mechanically connected to the conductive threads 8 in the textile T, particularly securely, through the conductive adhesive 42 released upon engagement. Depending on the length of the contact pin 29 and the size of the area of ​​the formed material fit and conductive connection, it may be advantageous for the lower part 14 of the button to be constructed of a non-conductive material.

[0046] exist Figure 3 The right figure schematically shows the plan view of the left figure. It can be clearly seen here that the two storage sections 40 in the receiving section 32 and / or the two storage sections 40 below the lower side 33 of the button lower section 14 are electrically isolated from each other, so that no electrical short circuit can occur between them.

[0047] Figure 5 A flowchart of a method 200 for manufacturing an apparatus 100 for at least one electronic component 1, particularly according to one of the embodiments described above, on a textile T is shown. In a first step 201, method 200 includes arranging at least one storage portion 40 containing an adhesive 42 on a button-type first element 14 and / or under a textile layer 6 of the textile T, wherein a receiving space 26 for arranging at least one electronic component 1 is constructed in the first element 14, and / or the first element 14 already includes the electronic component 1. Furthermore, in the first step 201, an electrical connection is formed between the at least one electronic component 1 and the electrical wires 8 in the textile layer 6. In a second step 202, the textile layer 6 of the textile T—preferably with the electronic component 1 disposed thereon—is arranged between the first element 14 and the connecting element 22. In a further step 203, preferably with at least one electronic component 1 housed in the receiving space 26 of the first element 14, the first element 14 and the connecting element 22 are connected such that the adhesive 42 is at least partially released from the storage portion 40, and the first element 14, the textile T and / or the connecting element 22 are at least partially materially connected to each other.
