Abstract
The invention relates to a transparent plastic part (1, 11) of an electrically nonconductive material on or in which electrically conductive structures (2) are integrated for use in a motor vehicle, where according to the invention the electrically conductive structures (2) are printed on an outside surface.
Description
- The invention relates to the integration of functional layers, in particular electrically conductive structures such as antennas, heating elements, and photovoltaic elements, in or on transparent plastic parts used in automobile manufacture.
- The use of transparent plastic parts is becoming more widespread in automobile manufacture. Compared to glass, transparent plastic parts have a number of advantages. The savings in weight is directly reflected in reduced fuel consumption. In addition, more favorable aerodynamic characteristics may be obtained due to the greater freedom in design resulting from diverse and virtually unlimited shapes in the injection-molding and injection-stamping processes, which also reduces energy consumption. Use of these plastics as side and rear windows or as roofs in automobiles, for example, lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, thereby positively influencing the stability of the vehicle.
- An object of the invention is to provide a transparent plastic part made of an electrically nonconductive material, on or in which electrically conductive structures are integrated, and that is designed for use in a vehicle, by means of which the above-described disadvantages are avoided and/or by which the above-described advantages may be retained, and by means of which conductor structures for current conduction or signal transmission, as antennas, or for photovoltaic elements may be mounted.
- This object is achieved by the features of
claim 1. - Polycarbonate (PC) and polymethlymethacrylate (PMMA) are preferably used in window panes. Their characteristics are essentially comparable to glass. Polycarbonate does not shatter, and is impact-resistant, tintable, and dimensionally stable. When these materials are not scratch-resistant, this characteristic can be imparted by additionally applying-an anti-scratch coating (for example, using ceramic nanoparticles in a silicon layer). The possibility for working the plastic by drilling, sawing, milling, welding, and gluing, for example, represents further advantages compared to the conventional use of glass. The integration of additional functions such as antennas, antenna systems, heating elements, and photovoltaic elements, for example, desired by automobile manufacturers or customers promotes the use of transparent plastic as an alternative to glass, and is the object of the present invention.
- According to the invention, the electrically conductive structures applied by means of a printing process are located on the exterior of the transparent plastic part. This has the advantage that the transparent plastic part can be manufactured and, if needed, finish-machined according to its intended use, so that by means of a printing process, in particular a screen-printing process, the electrically conductive structures can be subsequently mounted on the exterior of the transparent plastic part. In this manner the greatest possible freedom of design is maintained for manufacturing and shaping of both the transparent plastic part and the electrically conductive structures in order to achieve the desired function in the plastic part by means of the electrically conductive structures.
- Illustrated embodiments of the invention, which do not limit the invention, are described in the dependent claims and are also illustrated in the figures and described below.
- In the figures:
-
FIG. 1 shows the transparent plastic component directly imprinted;. -
FIG. 2 shows the transparent plastic component directly imprinted. A protective film is then laminated thereon. This protective film may also be an applied silicon layer (anti-scratch coating); -
FIG. 3 shows a transparent film imprinted and subsequently joined to the transparent component. The conductive structures may be imbedded. Two shapes are shown. -
FIG. 4 shows a transparent film imprinted and then insert-molded with the transparent plastic. As illustrated, an additional protective layer may be applied. -
FIG. 5 shows a transparent film imprinted and used for the insert molding process as a transfer medium that transfers the conductive structures into the transparent target component. A protective layer is possible as inFIG. 4 . -
FIG. 1 shows a detailed illustration of a transparentplastic part 1 having electricallyconductive structures 2 printed thereon. The transparentplastic part 1 preferably is made of polycarbonate (PC) or polymethlymethacrylate (PMMA), the electrically conductive structures being applied by means of a printing process, preferably a screen-printing process. For printing, electrically conductive pastes are preferably used which may be formed into any desired shape for the electricallyconductive structures 2. As equivalent alternatives to the printing process, other methods including but not limited to spraying, painting, ink jet, airbrush, or spattering are also possible. -
FIG. 2 shows an illustrated embodiment in which aprotective layer 3 is applied over the transparentplastic part 1 and theconductive structures 2, so that the electricallyconductive structures 2 are imbedded. Thisprotective layer 3 may be a protective film which is laminated, for example. Alternatively, the protective film could also be an applied silicon layer for protecting theconductive structures 2 from damage (in particular interruptions) and protecting the transparentplastic part 1 from scratches (anti-scratch layer). -
FIG. 3 shows that atransparent film 4 is imprinted with the electricallyconductive structures 2, and thisfilm 4 is applied to the plastic part, in particular glued or laminated thereon. The upper part ofFIG. 3 shows that theplastic film 4 is applied to theplastic part 1 at the surface opposite from the electricallyconductive structures 2. The lower part ofFIG. 3 shows the reverse situation in which theplastic film 4 is applied to the surface of theplastic part 1 at the side on which theconductive structures 2 have been printed. Thus, as a result of the additionally applied layer in the form of thefilm 4 the electricallyconductive structures 2 are imbedded. Thefilm 4 may be attached to theplastic part 1 over a part or most of its surface, in particular over the entire surface. -
FIG. 4 shows that a transparentplastic part 7 is imprinted and is then oversprayed with atransparent plastic 6. The upper illustration ofFIG. 4 shows that the electrically conductive structures are printed on the transparent plastic film 7 (alternatively, on the rigid transparent plastic part 1), and by use of an appropriate method (insert molding, for example), a transparent plastic is injection-molded or insert-molded to the plastic film 7 (or to the plastic part 1). According to the upper illustration ofFIG. 4 , it is particularly advantageous for the surface of the moldedplastic 6 to be level with the surface of the electrically conductive structures in order to produce a flat surface. Alternatively or additionally, of course, the injection-molded plastic may be molded over the surfaces of the electrically conductive structures that project from theplastic film 7. - The lower illustration of
FIG. 4 shows that both the injection-molded or insert-moldedtransparent plastic 6 and the electricallyconductive structures 2 are enclosed by an additionalprotective layer 8, in particular an anti-scratch layer. -
FIG. 5 shows that atransfer medium 9 has been provided before actually carrying out an injection molding process with theconductive structures 2, thispremanufactured transfer medium 9 being attached to the transparentplastic part 1, or alternatively, to thetransparent plastic film 7. During the injection molding process (insert molding process) the electricallyconductive structures 2 are then transferred via atransfer film 10 to the target component, namely, a transparentplastic part 11 having conductive structures. The finished transparentplastic part 11 may also be provided with an additional coating, in particular theanti-scratch coating 3. - The
plastic parts FIGS. 1 through 5 are used according to the invention for vehicular panes in applications such as window panes (windshield, rear or side windows) or in the vehicle roof (transparent and therefore light-permeable sliding roof). - The geometric dimensions of the electrically
conductive structures 2, in particular their length, width, height, cross section, and longitudinal extension, are designed according to their function. Thus, the electricallyconductive structures 2 may be antenna structures, for example, for receiving or transmitting high-frequency signals. For this purpose, in a diversity system, for example, multiple linear electricallyconductive structures 2 are configured in parallel or at right angles on a vehicle window pane, but are separated by a minimum distance to prevent mutual interference of the reception and transmission characteristics. If the electricallyconductive structures 2 are used for rear window heating, for example, it is possible for two electricallyconductive structures 2 to be aligned perpendicular to the sides of the rear window, and for numerous additional, closely spaced electricallyconductive structures 2 of extremely thin cross section to be provided therebetween, to prevent the optical characteristics of the transparentplastic part 1 in the form of a rear window from being adversely affected. The electricallyconductive structures 2 may also be designed for signal transmission, current conduction, or the like, or also preferably as solar cells. The latter embodiment offers the advantage that solar cells in the form of electricallyconductive structures 2 may be printed on transparent plastic parts such as vehicular panes, for example, and the energy from the solar cells is supplied via additional electricallyconductive structures 2 to a plug-in connection or an electronic device, so that, for example, a fan is driven by the solar energy for ventilating or cooling the interior of the vehicle at high temperatures. In addition to this ventilating function, solar cells in the form of electricallyconductive structures 2 may also be printed on the transparentplastic part 1 to provide energy for other equipment. - The embodiments are only examples. A combination of these approaches, or also thermal pre- and post-treatment of the components, impossible as well. Therefore, the design is versatile.
