Description

[0001] The invention relates to a spectacle lens according to the preamble of claim 1. Furthermore, the invention is directed to spectacles with at least one lens. The spectacles are designed, in particular, as safety goggles or winter sports goggles, such as ski goggles, snowboard goggles, or the like.

[0002] Heated lenses are well known from the state of the art. These often consume extremely high energy during operation, requiring frequent recharging or battery replacement. Glasses with such lenses are usually bulky and heavy due to the circuits or printed circuit boards used.

[0003] WO 2015 / 048564 A1 discloses generic anti-fog eye shields that can be used, for example, in eyeglasses or for eye protection. The eye shield comprises a conductive heating element divided into several regions, for example, to enable individual heating of the regions. A plurality of electrically conductive regions made of optically transparent, electrically resistive, conductive heating material is arranged on a substrate. The eye shield also comprises at least two busbars that are connected to the conductive regions and configured to connect the conductive regions to the power source. Fig. 2Three electrically isolated heating element areas are arranged on the eyeshade, each connected to a power source. Segmenting a heating element into multiple areas allows for the option of heating each area separately, such as with separate batteries or PWM channel controls. The heating of these anti-fog eyeshades is not always satisfactory.

[0004] US 2011 / 0126345 A1 discloses an anti-fog device, such as lenses for eye protection. A transparent conductive layer is formed on a surface of the lens. A first linear electrode is arranged on the top surface of the lens, and a second linear electrode is arranged on the bottom surface of the lens. The ends of the electrodes are connected to a power source. Each end of an electrode is designed as a connector. The transparent conductive layer can be divided into at least a left, right, upper, and lower section. The electrodes are then connected to the corresponding areas.

[0005] DE 10 2015 114 507 A1 discloses an electrically heatable laminated body whose first carrier is covered on one or both sides with non-transparent conductor tracks. Highly concentrated conductor tracks, such as contacts and / or connections, are arranged in the edge region. Non-transparent conductor tracks that fulfill a heating function are laid in an optically transparent manner over a central region. When an electrical current is applied, the conductor tracks heat the laminated body, which can be adjusted either uniformly across the entire surface and / or specifically in individual surface areas. For example, the heating power can be set higher opposite the eyes than in the nose area, for example.

[0006] DE 1 951 643 A discloses safety goggles with a transparent lens. Electrical heating elements are formed inside the transparent lens and can be connected via electrical conductors to a power source arranged in / on a frame of the transparent lens or a retaining strap. The heating elements and / or conductors can preferably be achieved by metal vapor deposition, in particular of goggle sections extending into the eye area. They can also be formed in other ways, for example, by resistance wires or printed metal layers. The transparent lens is preferably equipped with contact nipples or the like connected to the heating elements, to which power sources attached to the frame or the retaining strap can be detachably connected via electrical conductors. The vapor deposition layers, metal wires, or the like serving as heating elements can extend from circuit boards formed in or on the transparent lens.The power sources are attached directly or via a receptacle to the frame and / or the transparent lens or the retaining strap. These goggles consume a lot of energy during operation and are also bulky. DE 27 18 679 A1 discloses a heated lens, particularly for ski goggles, which is equipped with a heating element. The heating element is connected to a power source via a humidity sensor. It is expedient if the heating element is formed by an electrically conductive coating applied to a film attached to the inside of the lens. Two surface contacts, to which an electrical voltage can be applied, are attached to the coating. This lens has proven itself in practice.

[0033] Corresponding parts are shown in the Figures 1 to 16 are provided with the same reference numerals. Details of the preferred embodiments explained in more detail below may also constitute an invention in themselves or be part of the subject matter of the invention.

[0034] One in Figures 1 to 3 The glasses shown in their entirety comprise an electrically heatable full-vision spectacle lens 1 and a headband 2 connected to the spectacle lens 1, as well as a power source 3 arranged on the headband 2 for electrically heating the spectacle lens 1.

[0035] A sealing body 4 is arranged on the edge of the lens 1 for contact with the face of a wearer (not shown). The sealing body 4 is elongated and preferably closed in the circumferential direction. It is flexible and made of foam, rubber, or the like, for example. The sealing body 4 spatially defines an interior space with the lens 1.

[0036] The lens 1 has a central region 6 above a central nose recess 5 and, to the side of this, a side region 7, each of which extends to a side edge 8 of the lens 1. Furthermore, the lens 1 has an outer side 9 facing away from the wearer when the glasses are worn, and an inner side 10 facing the wearer. The lens 1 is strongly curved.

[0037] The spectacle lens 1 comprises a spectacle lens base body 11 and a transparent, electrically conductive coating 12 arranged directly thereon, as well as an anti-fog coating 13 arranged directly above the coating. The coating 12 is formed by a plurality of silver nanowires (AgNW). Opposite the coating 12, a hard or scratch-resistant layer 14 is preferably arranged directly on the base body 11. The hard layer 14 forms the outer side 9 and is thus designed as an outer layer. The anti-fog coating 13, on the other hand, forms the inner side 10 and is designed as an inner layer (see Fig. 12 ).

[0038] According to an alternative embodiment, instead of the anti-fog overcoating 13, a further / second hard layer 14 is present ( Fig. 13 ).

[0039] According to an alternative embodiment, a transparent, electrically conductive coating 12 is arranged directly on both sides of the base body 11. A first coating 12 is directly covered by a hard layer 14 forming the outer side 9, while the other, second coating 12 is directly covered by an anti-fog overcoating 13 forming the inner side 10 ( Fig. 14 ).

[0040] Alternatively, both transparent, electrically conductive coatings 12 are each directly covered by a hard layer 14 ( Fig. 15 ). A first hard layer 14 forms the outer side 9, while the other / second hard layer 14 forms the inner side 10.

[0041] Combinations or a different layer structure is / are possible alternatively.

[0042] For example Figure 7As shown, the spectacle lens 1 has a plurality of elongated electrical contact means that extend adjacent to or along a peripheral edge 15 of the spectacle lens 1 in the circumferential direction of the spectacle lens 1. An upper, lateral contact means 16 and a lower, lateral contact means 17 are arranged in each side region 7. An upper, central contact means 18 and a lower, central contact means 19 are arranged in the central region 6. The lower, central contact means 19 follows the nose recess 5 and has two legs 20 that extend obliquely to one another.

[0043] The contact means 16, 17, 18, 19 are arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction. The upper, lateral contact means 16 and the upper, central contact means 18 run (essentially) at a common height, while the lower, lateral contact means 17 run at a common height. The upper, lateral contact means 16 run above the lower, lateral contact means 17, i.e. at a greater height than the lower, lateral contact means 17. They are arranged laterally or in a lateral direction of the spectacle lens 1 (essentially) without offset from one another. The upper, central contact means 18 runs above the lower, central contact means 19, i.e. at a greater height than the lower, central contact means 19. They are arranged laterally or in a lateral direction of the spectacle lens 1 (essentially) without offset from one another. The contact means 16, 17, 18 or19 each form an electrical contact element pair. There are three contact element pairs. The contact elements 16, 17, 18, and 19 are in direct electrical connection with the coating 12 and are preferably covered by or embedded in the anti-fog overcoating 13. They are, in particular, printed onto the coating 12, at least to a certain extent and particularly at the edges.

[0044] Each contact means 16, 17, 18 or 19 is in electrical connection with its own electrical conductor track 21, which extends along the peripheral edge 15 and ends in a side end region 22 of the spectacle lens 1, forming an enlarged, flat, exposed contact point 23 ( Fig. 7 , 8 ). Each conductor track 21 runs inside and outside with respect to the base body 11 or the spectacle lens 1. Figure 6shows corresponding side changes 27 of the conductor tracks 21 between the inside 10 and the outside 9 of the lens 1. At each side change 27, the respective conductor track 21 runs around the outside of the base body 11 or its outer edge ( Figs. 9, 10 ).

[0045] The contact means 16, 17, 18 and 19 are in the embodiment according to Figure 13 again in direct electrical connection with the coating 12 and are covered by the further hard layer 14 forming the inner side 10.

[0046] First contact means 16, 17, 18 and 19 are in the embodiment according to Figure 14 are in direct electrical connection with the first coating 12 and are covered by the hard layer 14. Second contact means 16, 17, 18, and 19, respectively, are in direct electrical connection with the second coating 12 and are covered by the anti-fog overcoating 13.

[0047] First contact means 16, 17, 18 and 19 are in the embodiment according to Figure 15 are in direct electrical connection with a first coating 12 and are covered by the first hard layer 14. Second contact means 16, 17, 18, and 19 are in direct electrical connection with a second coating 12 and are covered by the second hard layer 14.

[0048] The spectacle lens 1 also comprises / carries a sensor / spectacle lens board 24 ( Fig. 4 , 11). The sensor board 24 is arranged on the inside in the side end region 22 and has pin-like spring contacts 25, at least one sensor 34, and preferably its own microcontroller. The spring contacts 25 are identical and their length can be adjusted by springs. Each spring contact 25 projects vertically from a main plane 35 of the sensor board 24 and is electrically connected to a contact point 23 of a respective conductor track 21. Due to the curvature of the spectacle lens 1 in the side end region 22, the spring contacts 25 have different lengths; in particular, the length of the upper spring contacts 25 increases from top to bottom, and the length of the lower spring contacts 25 increases from bottom to top. The sensor board 24 is preferably covered by a cover.

[0049] Each spring contact 25 is in electrical connection with two electrical connecting lines 26 ( Fig. 1 , 2 , 4 , 11), which are electrically connected to the sensor board 24. The connecting lines 26 run from the sensor board 24 via the headband 2 to the power source 3. They are arranged on the inside of a support body 28 of the headband 2 and are arranged next to one another in a transverse or width direction of the headband 2. The connecting lines 26 run parallel to one another. They are arranged in a meandering pattern and are thus capable of following a change in the length of the headband 2, such as an increase or decrease in length.

[0050] The connecting lines 26 are locally secured to the support body 28, in particular by means of preferably transparent retaining threads. The retaining threads are made of nylon, for example. They are preferably sewn to the support body 28 and each encircle the connecting lines 26. The retaining threads securing a connecting line 26 are arranged at a distance from one another along this connecting line 26.

[0051] Each connecting line 26 preferably has a diameter between 0.1 mm and 0.5 mm (without insulation) and between 0.5 mm and 0.8 mm (with insulation). In the unstretched state of the headband 2, the distance between two adjacent extreme points, i.e., a minimum and a maximum, of the connecting lines 26 is advantageously between 5 mm and 15 mm.

[0052] The connecting lines 26 are electrically connected to a main board 29 ( Fig. 2 , 4), which is arranged adjacent to the power source 3. The main board 29 and the power source 3 are arranged together in a housing 30. The housing 30 carries a manually operable on / off switch 31, which in one setting allows a power connection between the power source 3 and the main board 29. In an open position, the on / off switch 31 interrupts the power connection between them. Furthermore, the housing 30 carries a charging socket 32, which is designed, for example, as a USB socket, in particular a USB-C socket. The main board 29, in turn, carries a microcontroller 33 for processing electrical sensor data or signals from the at least one sensor 34 and for applying current to the contact means 16, 17, 18, or 19.

[0053] The use of the glasses is described in more detail below.

[0054] When the glasses are worn, the lens 1 extends in front of the wearer's eyes and partially runs around their face. The wearer's nose engages in the nose recess 5. The housing 30 is located in the back of the wearer's head, opposite the lens 1.

[0055] When the on / off switch 31 is set, the microcontroller 33 is supplied with power from the power source 3. The microcontroller 33 receives corresponding electrical sensor signals from the at least one sensor 34 via the connecting lines 26. If the microcontroller 33 determines that at least partial heating of the spectacle lens 1 is necessary, electrical current is conducted from the power source 3 to the sensor board 24 via the respective connecting line 26, which then supplies current to the associated conductor track 21 and thus to the associated contact means 16, 17, 18 or 19 via the respective spring contact 25. The electrical current thus reaches the coating 12 via the respective contact means 16, 17, 18 or 19. It flows over the coating 12 to the associated opposite contact means 16, 17, 18 or 19, forming a respective electrical heating zone.19, from where it flows via the respective conductor track 21 and the associated spring contact 25 as well as the corresponding connecting line 26 back to the main board 29.

[0056] The heating power of each heating zone is determined in the embodiment according to Figure 12In particular, it is set so that the anti-fog overcoating 13 is heated from the inside at maximum saturation, thus expelling the moisture from it. Saturation of the anti-fog overcoating 13 is thus avoided, which permanently prevents fogging and reduces heating power to a minimum. The microcontroller 33 of the main board 29 adjusts the heating current accordingly to dehumidify the anti-fog overcoating 13. Power is therefore only supplied to the heating zones when needed. It is expedient if the microcontroller 33 of the main board 29 has / uses an evaluation algorithm for evaluating the sensor signals. The humidity or saturation of the anti-fog overcoating 13 or spectacle lens 1 is sensed accordingly by at least one sensor 34. The power source 3 supplies the heating zones and the main board 29 with electrical current during operation.

[0057] In the embodiments according to Figures 13 and 15 During heating, the condensation of moisture on the inner side 10 formed on the hard layer 14 is prevented. The hard layers 14 are each heated from the inside. Otherwise, the heating is preferably carried out according to the embodiment according to Figure 12 , the description of which is referred to.

[0058] In the embodiments according to Figures 14, 15 the base body 11 is heated on both sides. In the embodiment according to Figure 14 Both the anti-fog coating 13 and the hard layer 14 are heated from the inside. In the embodiment according to Figure 15 both hard layers 14 are heated from the inside.

[0059] In the embodiment according to Figure 14The heating power of each heating zone is adjusted in particular so that the anti-fog coating 13 is heated from the inside at maximum saturation, thus expelling the moisture from it. Saturation of the anti-fog coating 13 is thus avoided, which permanently prevents fogging and reduces the heating power to a minimum. Heating is otherwise preferably carried out according to the embodiment according to Figure 12 , the description of which is referred to.

[0060] The following is based on reference to Figure 16 an alternative design of the spectacle lens 1 is described. In comparison with the spectacle lens 1 according to Figures 8 , 11, to the description of which reference is made, the spectacle lens 1 according to this embodiment is directly equipped with at least one sensor 34, which is arranged in an edge region of the spectacle lens 1, such as at the bottom side. Furthermore, the spectacle lens 1 is directly equipped with a microcontroller 36, which is arranged in the side end region 22 of the spectacle lens 1. The microcontroller 36 forms, for example, the microcontroller of the sensor board 24 and / or the microcontroller 33 of the main board 29.

[0061] The at least one sensor 34 and the contact points 23 are electrically connected to the microcontroller 36 via electrical connecting lines 37. Furthermore, two electrical connection points 38 are arranged in the side region 22, which are connected or connectable to the power source 3 via electrical lines 39 and are electrically connected to the microcontroller 36 via electrical lines 40. The connecting lines 37 and lines 40 are also applied directly to the lens 1.

[0062] During operation, the microcontroller 36 is supplied with power from the power source 3. The microcontroller 36 receives corresponding electrical signals from the at least one sensor 34 via the associated connecting line 37. If the microcontroller 36 determines that at least partial heating of the spectacle lens 1 is necessary, electrical current is conducted via the respective connecting line 37 via the associated conductor track 21 to the associated contact means 16, 17, 18 or 19, from where the electrical current reaches the coating 12. It flows via the coating 12, forming a respective electrical heating zone, to the associated opposite contact means 16, 17, 18 or 19, from where it flows via the respective conductor track 21 and the corresponding connecting line 37 back to the microcontroller 36. Heating via the heating zones takes place essentially analogously to the corresponding previous embodiment, to which reference is made.
