Die Erfindung geht aus von einer Vorrichtung zum Detektieren eines Belags auf einer äußeren Oberfläche einer Scheibe, insbesondere einer Benetzung mit Feuchtigkeit, nach der Gattung des Hauptanspruchs.The invention is based on a device for detecting aCoverings on an outer surface of a pane, in particulara wetting with moisture, after the kind of the main onesaying.
Aus der DE-AS 23 54 100 ist ein Scheibenverschmutzungsmelder bekannt, dem ein optisches Meßverfahren zugrundeliegt. Das von einer Lichtquelle durch eine Scheibe ausgesandte Licht trifft auf eine zu prüfende Scheibenoberfläche. Das an der Scheibenoberfläche durch die Scheibe hindurch zurückgeworfene Licht wird von einem optischen Sensor erfaßt, an dem ein Signalgeber angeschlossen ist, der beispielsweise einen Wischvorgang eines Scheibenwischers auslösen kann. Es werden nur diejenigen von der Lichtquelle ausgesandten und an der Scheibenoberfläche zurückgeworfenen Lichtteile vom Sensor erfaßt, die von der Scheibenoberfläche unter dem Winkel der Totalreflexion abgehen, wobei sie beim Verlassen der Scheibe durch eine prismatische Vorrichtung hindurchgeleitet werden. Eine Benetzung der äußeren Scheibenoberfläche durch Regen, Feuchtigkeit etc. ändert den Winkelbereich innerhalb dem die Totalreflexion auftritt und führt daher zu einer Reduzierung des auf den Sensor fallenden Lichtes.From DE-AS 23 54 100 is a window contaminationknown detector, which is based on an optical measurement method. Thelight emitted by a light source through a paneon a pane surface to be tested. That on the top of the windowLight reflected back through the pane is emitted byan optical sensor to which a signal generator is connectedis, for example, a wiping process of a wipercan trigger. Only those from the light source are emittedsent and parts of light reflected on the surface of the panedetected by the sensor from the disc surface at the angletotal reflection going off when leaving the windowbe passed through a prismatic device. AWetting of the outer pane surface by rain, moistureetc. changes the angular range within which the total reflectionoccurs and therefore leads to a reduction in the sensorfalling light.
Aus der DE-PS 33 14 770 ist eine Einrichtung zum Steuern eines Scheibenwischermotors bekannt, die einen Regensensor enthält, der ebenfalls auf dem optischen Meßverfahren mit Totalreflexion beruht. Die von dem Regensensor überwachte Oberfläche der zu reinigenden Scheibe wird begrenzt durch die Forderung nach einem hohen Nutzsignal/Störsignal-Verhältnis, das durch die Mehrfachreflexionen kritische Werte annehmen kann. Zur Erhöhung der sensitiven Fläche ist in der DE-PS 33 14 770 vorgeschlagen worden, anstelle einer Leuchtdiode als Strahlungsquelle mehrere Dioden vorzusehen, die gegebenenfalls mit mehreren lichtempfindlichen Elementen zusammenwirken.From DE-PS 33 14 770 is a device for controlling aWiper motor known that includes a rain sensor thatalso based on the optical measurement method with total reflection.The surface of the surface to be cleaned, monitored by the rain sensorDisk is limited by the demand for high utilitysignal / interference signal ratio caused by the multiple reflectionscan assume critical values. To increase the sensitive areahas been proposed in DE-PS 33 14 770, instead of oneLight-emitting diode to provide several diodes as the radiation sourceoptionally together with several photosensitive elementsAct.

Die Aufgabe wird durch die im Hauptanspruch angegebenen Merkmale gelöst.The task is characterized by the features specified in the main claimsolved.
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung weist den Vorteil auf, daß ein gutes Nutzsignal/Störsignal-Verhältnis bei kompakten Abmessungen des Regensensors erreicht wird, wobei nur eine optische Strahlungsquelle sowie ein Strahlungssensor erforderlich sind. Eine Erhöhung der sensitiven Fläche auf der zu überwachenden Scheibenoberfläche durch die erfindungsgemäße Festlegung des optischen Strahlengangs reduziert die Anzahl der für eine hohe Detektionssicherheit erforderliche Anzahl von Reflexionen. Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung wird bereits mit einer Reflexion an der äußeren Scheibenoberfläche ein gutes Detektionsergebnis erzielt.The device according to the invention has the advantage that agood useful signal / interference signal ratio with compact dimensions of theRain sensor is reached, with only one optical radiation sourceand a radiation sensor are required. An increase insensitive area on the surface to be monitoredthe inventive determination of the optical beam path reduadorns the number required for high detection reliabilitynumber of reflections. In the device according to the inventionis already with a reflection on the outer surface of the paneachieved a good detection result.

Eine einfache Ausgestaltung des Strahlungsreflektors, der die von der optischen Strahlungsquelle emittierte Strahlung in vorgegebene Raumwinkelbereiche reflektiert, ist durch einen Polyeder mit wenigstens drei ebenen reflektierenden Flächen gegeben. Besonders vorteilhaft ist die Ausgestaltung des Strahlungsreflektors als Kegel, wobei eine rotationssymmetrische Anordnung entsteht, die besonders einfach herstellbar ist.A simple design of the radiation reflector that the ofthe optical radiation source emitted radiation in predeterminedSolid angle ranges are reflected by a polyhedron with littlegiven at least three flat reflective surfaces. Especially beforethe configuration of the radiation reflector as a cone is partial,whereby a rotationally symmetrical arrangement arises, which is particularlyis easy to manufacture.
Der zur Ein- und Auskopplung der optischen Strahlung in die Scheibe vorgesehene Strahlungsleitkörper, der aus Gründen der Materialersparnis aus separaten Teilen besteht, ist vorzugsweise auf seinem Außenumfang verspiegelt, um eine möglichst verlustarme Reflexion der im Strahlungsleitkörper geführten optischen Strahlung sicherzustellen.The one for coupling and decoupling the optical radiation into the paneprovided radiation guide, which for reasons of the materialsaving consists of separate parts, is preferably on hisMirrored outer circumference to reflect the loss as little as possibleoptical radiation guided in the radiation guide bodyput.

Mit dieser Maßnahme ist eine einfache und preisgünstige Reduzierung der Fremdlichtstrahlung erreichbar.An advantageous development of the device according to the inventionsees a cover on the inside of the pane with opticaldense material. This measure is simple andaffordable reduction of extraneous light radiation achievable.

Fig. 1 zeigt einen Querschnitt durch eine Vorrichtung bzw. einen Regensensor10, der eine Strahlungsquelle11 enthält, deren Strahlung12 auf einen Strahlungsreflektor13 gerichtet wird. Die vom Reflektor13 reflektierte Strahlung14 gelangt unter einem rechtwinkligen Einfallswinkel15 in einen Strahlungsleitkörper16, an dessen äußeren Begrenzung17 die Strahlung14 erneut reflektiert wird. Im Bereich der zu erwartenden Strahlungsreflexion enthält die äußere Begrenzung17 des Strahlungsleitkörpers16 eine Verspiegelung18. Die an der äußeren Begrenzung17 reflektierte Strahlung19 gelangt unter einem bestimmten Einfallswinkel20 in eine Scheibe21. Zwischen dem Strahlungsleitkörper16 und der Scheibe21 ist ein Klebstoff22 mit optischen Eigenschaften vorgesehen. Die Strahlung19 wird an einer äußeren Scheibenoberfläche23 teilweise reflektiert und gelangt als reflektierte Strahlung24 nach einem erneuten Durchgang durch den Strahlungsleitkörper16 auf einen optischen Strahlungsempfänger bzw. Strahlungssensor25. An der Reflexionsstelle an der äußeren Scheibenoberfläche23 ein Wassertropfen26 eingetragen, durch den ein bestimmter Teil27 der ankommenden Strahlung19 aus der Scheibe21 ausgekoppelt wird.Fig. 1 shows a cross section through a device or a rain sensor10 , which contains a radiation source11 , the radiation12 is directed onto a radiation reflector13 . The reflected by the reflector13 radiation14 arrives at a right angle incidence15 in a radiation guide body16 , at the outer limit17 Be the radiation14 is reflected again. In the area of the radiation reflection to be expected, the outer boundary17 of the radiation guide body16 contains a mirror coating18 . The radiation19 reflected at the outer boundary17 reaches a pane21 at a certain angle of incidence20 . An adhesive22 with optical properties is provided between the radiation guide body16 and the disk21 . The radiation19 is partially reflected on an outer pane surface23 and passes as reflected radiation24 after passing through the radiation guide16 again onto an optical radiation receiver or radiation sensor25 . A water drop26 is entered at the reflection point on the outer pane surface23 , through which a certain part27 of the incoming radiation19 is coupled out of the pane21 .
Zwischen dem Strahlungsleitkörper16 und der Scheibe21 sind außerhalb der optischen Strahlengänge Abdeckungen28,29 aus optisch dichtem Material vorgesehen. Der Abstand zwischen Strahlungsleitkörper16 und Scheibe21, der einerseits von den Abdeckungen28,29 und andererseits von dem Klebstoff22 ausgefüllt wird, ist inFig. 1 übertrieben groß gezeigt.Between the radiation guide body16 and the disk21 , covers28 ,29 made of optically dense material are provided in addition to half of the optical beam paths. The distance between the radiation guide body16 and the disk21 , which is filled on the one hand by the covers28 ,29 and on the other hand by the adhesive22 , is shown exaggeratedly large inFIG. 1.
Die Strahlungsquelle11 und der Sensor25 sind auf einer Halterung30 angeordnet, die an einem Gehäuse31 des Regensensors10 abgestützt ist. Die Angrenzung des Gehäuses31 an die Scheibe21 trägt die Bezugszahl33.The radiation source11 and the sensor25 are arranged on a holder30 which is supported on a housing31 of the rain sensor10 . The abutment of the housing31 on the disk21 has the reference number33 .
Fig. 2 zeigt eine perspektivische Draufsicht auf die Scheibe21 im Bereich des optischen Regensensors10, der inFig. 2 hinter der Scheibe21 angeordnet ist. Diejenigen Teile, die den inFig. 1 gezeigten Teilen entsprechen, tragen inFig. 2 dieselben Bezugszahlen wie inFig. 1.Fig. 2 verdeutlicht eine sensitive Fläche32 auf der äußeren Oberfläche23 der Scheibe21. Die Fläche32 ist der die von der Strahlung19 erfaßte Sensorfläche. Strichliniert sind eingetragen die Angrenzung33 des Gehäuses31 an die Scheibe21 sowie die Abdeckungen28,29. Die sensitive Fläche32, die durch zwei konzentrische Kreise begrenzt ist, entsteht, wenn der Strahlungsreflektor13 als Kegel realisiert ist, wobei zusammen mit dem Strahlungsleitkörper16 ein rotationssymmetrischer Aufbau des Regensensors10 entsteht.FIG. 2 shows a perspective top view of the pane21 in the region of the optical rain sensor10 , which is arranged behind the pane21 inFIG. 2. Those parts which correspond to the parts shown inFIG. 1 have the same reference numbers inFIG. 2 as inFIG. 1.FIG. 2 illustrates a sensitive surface32 on the outer surface23 of the pane21 . The area32 is that of the sensor area detected by the radiation19 . The border33 of the housing31 on the pane21 and the covers28 ,29 are shown in dashed lines. The sensitive surface32 , which is delimited by two concentric circles, arises when the radiation reflector13 is implemented as a cone, a rotation-symmetrical structure of the rain sensor10 being formed together with the radiation guide body16 .
Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung wird anhand der beiden Figuren näher erläutert:The device according to the invention is based on the two figuresexplained in more detail:
Die von der Strahlungsquelle11 emittierte Strahlung12 gelangt auf den Strahlungsreflektor13, dessen Oberfläche zum Erzielen eines hohen Reflexionsgrades verspiegelt sein kann. Der Strahlungsreflektor13 ist beispielsweise als Kegel realisiert, mit dem die inFig. 2 gezeigte kreisringförmige sensitive Fläche32 erzielt wird. In einer anderen Ausgestaltung kann der Strahlungsreflektor13 als polyeder mit wenigstens drei ebenen Reflexionsflächen ausgebildet sein. Anstelle der kreisförmigen sensitiven Fläche32 entstehen dann mehreckförmige Flächen32 und anstelle des kreisförmigen Gehäuses31 wird dann vorzugsweise ein mehreckiges Gehäuse vorgesehen, dessen Eckenanzahl der Anzahl der vom Strahlungsreflektor13 in unterschiedliche Richtungen reflektierten Strahlungsanteile entspricht.The radiation12 emitted by the radiation source11 reaches the radiation reflector13 , the surface of which can be mirrored in order to achieve a high degree of reflection. The radiation reflector13 is implemented, for example, as a cone, with which the annular sensitive surface32 shown inFIG. 2 is achieved. In another embodiment, the radiation reflector13 can be designed as a polyhedron with at least three flat reflection surfaces. Instead of the circular sensitive area32 then mehreckförmige surfaces arise32 and a polygonal housing, instead of the circular housing31 is then provided preferably corresponds to the number of corners of the number of radiation from the reflector13 in the reflected radiation components under schiedliche directions.
Die von dem Strahlungsreflektor13 reflektierte Strahlung14 gelangt in den Strahlungsleitkörper16. Der Einfallswinkel beträgt hierbei etwa 90 Grad an jedem Ort der Oberfläche. Die Oberfläche des Strahlungsleitkörpers16 ist daher vorzugsweise an die Oberfläche des Strahlungsreflektors13 anzupassen, so daß die Bedingung des wenigstens näherungsweise rechtwinkligen Strahlungseinfalls an allen Orten erfüllt ist. Der rechtwinklige Strahlungseinfall führt zu geringsten Strahlungsverlusten.The radiation14 reflected by the radiation reflector13 reaches the radiation guide body16 . The angle of incidence is about 90 degrees at any location on the surface. The surface of the radiation guide body16 is therefore preferably to be adapted to the surface of the radiation reflector13 , so that the condition of the at least approximately rectangular radiation incidence is met at all locations. The right-angled radiation incidence leads to minimal radiation losses.
Der Reflektor13 weist vorzugsweise eine gekrümmte, konvexe Oberfläche auf, so daß eine fokussierende Wirkung entsteht. Die von der Strahlungsquelle11 emittierte, im allgemeinen divergente Strahlung wird zu einem Parallelstrahlenbündel zusammegeführt. Der im Strahlungsleitkörper16 geführte Teil der Strahlung14 wird an der äußeren Begrenzung17 des Strahlungsleitkörpers16 reflektiert. Der Strahlungsleitkörper16 kann beispielsweise an dieser Stelle poliert sein, um einen hohen Reflexionsgrad zu erzielen. In einer weiteren oder anderen Ausgestaltung kann die inFig. 1 eingetragene Verspiegelung18 auf der äußeren Begrenzung17 aufgebracht sein. Die erneut reflektierte Strahlung19 gelangt unter dem bestimmten Einfallswinkel20 in die Scheibe21. Hierbei ist es zweckmäßig, daß der Strahlungsleitkörper16 zum einen dicht an die Scheibe21 angrenzt und zum anderen denselben Brechungsindex wie die Scheibe21 aufweist. Mit diesen Maßnahmen werden die Reflexionsverluste an der Übergangsstelle minimiert. Der gegebenenfalls vorgesehene Klebstoff22, mit dem der Strahlungsleitkörper16 mit der Scheibe21 verklebt werden kann, weist deshalb zweckmäßigerweise ebenfalls dieselben optischen Eigenschaften, insbesondere den gleichen Brechungsindex auf.The reflector13 preferably has a curved, convex upper surface, so that a focusing effect is created. The generally divergent radiation emitted by the radiation source11 is brought together to form a parallel beam. The guided in Strahlungsleitkörper16 part of the radiation14 is reflected at the outer boundary17 of the Strahlungsleitkörperssixteenth The radiation guide body16 can, for example, be polished at this point in order to achieve a high degree of reflection. In a further or another embodiment, the reflection18 entered inFIG. 1 can be applied to the outer boundary17 . The re-reflected radiation19 passes under the determined angle of incidence20 into the pane21 . It is expedient that the Strahlungsleitkörper16 for a sealing adjacent to the disk21 and has on the other hand the same refractive index as the disc21st With these measures, the reflection losses at the transition point are minimized. The optionally provided adhesive22 , with which the radiation guide body16 can be glued to the pane21 , therefore expediently also has the same optical properties, in particular the same refractive index.
Die in die Scheibe21 eingekoppelte Strahlung19 wird an deren äußeren Oberfläche23 reflektiert. Angestrebt wird an dieser Stelle eine Totalreflexion. Der Einfallswinkel20 bezüglich einer Flächennormalen auf der Scheibenoberfläche23 muß deshalb einen bestimmten Wert überschreiten, der vom Material der Scheibe21 und von dem die Scheibe21 umgebenden Medium abhängt. Der minimale Wert des Einfallswinkels20 liegt bei einer Glasscheibe, die von Luft umgeben ist, bei etwa 42 Grad. Die von der sauberen äußeren Scheibenoberfläche total reflektierte Strahlung24 gelangt auf den Sensor25, der ein Signal an eine in den Figuren nicht dargestellte und nicht näher beschriebene Schaltungsanordnung abgibt, die beispielsweise Steuersignale für eine ebenfalls nicht gezeigte Scheibenwischwaschanlage abgeben kann. Eine Benetzung der äußeren Oberfläche23 im Bereich der Reflexionsstelle, die innerhalb der inFig. 2 gezeigten sensitiven Fläche32 liegt, beispielsweise mit dem inFig. 1 gezeigten Wassertropfen26, führt zu einer Auskopplung27 eines Teils der einfallenden Strahlung19. Die ausgekoppelte Strahlung27 entspricht einer Verluststrahlung in die Umgebung. Diese Strahlungsauskopplung findet deshalb statt, weil die Brechzahl von Wasser höher ist als die von Luft, wobei der Einfallswinkel17 für eine Totalreflexion erhöht wird. Eine Totalreflexion würde jetzt erst bei einem Einfallswinkel20 auftreten, der mehr als etwa 63 Grad beträgt. Eine Verschmutzung im Bereich der Reflexionsstellen führt zu einer Absorption eines Teils der einfallenden Strahlung19 und reduziert den Anteil totalreflektierter Strahlung24. Der Sensor spricht deshalb auch auf feuchten Schmutz oder beispielsweise Insektenrückstände auf der Oberfläche23 an.The radiation19 coupled into the pane21 is reflected on its outer surface23 . At this point, total reflection is sought. The angle of incidence20 with respect to a surface normal on the pane surface23 must therefore exceed a certain value which depends on the material of the pane21 and on the medium surrounding the pane21 . The minimum value of the drop angle20 is about 42 degrees for a glass pane surrounded by air. The radiation24 totally reflected from the clean outer surface of the pane reaches the sensor25 , which emits a signal to a circuit arrangement, not shown in the figures and not described in detail, which, for example, can emit control signals for a windshield washer system, also not shown. Wetting the outer surface23 in the region of the reflection point, which lies within the sensitive area32 shown inFIG. 2, for example with the water drop26 shown inFIG. 1, leads to a coupling-out27 of part of the incident radiation19 . The outcoupled radiation27 corresponds to a loss of radiation in the environment. This radiation coupling takes place because the refractive index of water is higher than that of air, the angle of incidence17 being increased for a total reflection. A total reflection would now only occur at an angle of incidence20 that is more than about 63 degrees. Contamination in the area of the reflection points leads to absorption of part of the incident radiation19 and reduces the proportion of totally reflected radiation24 . The sensor therefore also responds to moist dirt or, for example, insect residues on the surface23 .
In der inFig. 1 gezeigten Anordnung des Regensensors10 ist der optische Sensor25 von einem durch die äußere Scheibenoberfläche23 eindringenden Fremdlichtstrahlungsanteil beaufschlagt. Eine Reduzierung der Fremdstrahlung ist durch die Abdeckungen28,29 möglich, die beispielsweise zwischen dem Strahlungsleitkörper16 und der Scheibe21 gegebenenfalls in Verbindung mit dem Kleber22 vorgesehen sind. Die Abmessungen der Abdeckungen28,29 sind an den zu erwartenden Strahlengang anzupassen. Bei der inFig. 2 gezeigten rotationssymmetrischen Ausgestaltung des Regensensors10, bei dem der Strahlungsreflektor13 als Kegel ausgebildet ist, wobei die kreisförmige sensitive Fläche32 entsteht, sind die Abdeckungen28,29 ebenfalls zweckmäßigerweise kreisförmig ausgebildet. Bei eckigen Gehäusen31, die zu einer eckigen Angrenzung33 des Gehäuses31 an die Scheibe21 führen, ist eine entsprechende Ausgestaltung der Abdeckungen28,29 vorgesehen.In the arrangement of the rain sensor10 shown inFIG. 1, the optical sensor25 is acted upon by an external light radiation component penetrating through the outer pane surface23 . A reduction of the external radiation is possible through the covers28 ,29 , which are provided, for example, between the radiation guide body16 and the disk21, optionally in conjunction with the adhesive22 . The dimensions of the covers28 ,29 are to be adapted to the beam path to be expected. In the rotationally symmetrical embodiment of the rain sensor10 shown inFIG. 2, in which the radiation reflector13 is designed as a cone, the circular sensitive surface32 being formed, the covers28 ,29 are also expediently circular. In the case of angular housings31 , which lead to an angular abutment33 of the housing31 on the pane21 , a corresponding design of the covers28 ,29 is provided.
Sowohl die Strahlungsquelle11 als auch der Sensor25 können an der Halterung30 montiert sein, die gegen das Gehäuse31 abgestützt ist. Die erforderlichen Abstützungen der Halterung30 sind im Vergleich zu den Abmessungen der Strahlengänge gering und beeinträchtigen deshalb die optische Strahlung nur geringfügig.Both the radiation source11 and the sensor25 can be mounted on the holder30 , which is supported against the housing31 . The required supports of the holder30 are small compared to the dimensions of the beam paths and therefore only slightly impair the optical radiation.
Aus Gründen der Materialersparnis kann der Strahlungsleitkörper16 aufgeteilt sein in zwei separate Teile. In einem Teil wird die einfallende Strahlung14 sowie die an der äußeren Begrenzung17 reflektierte Strahlung19 und im anderen Teil die an der äußeren Scheibenoberfläche23 totalreflektierte Strahlung24 geführt. Die Ausbildung des Strahlungsleitkörpers16 als ein einziges Stück, das beispielsweise bei rotationssymmetrischem Aufbau des Regensensors10 als Drehteil herstellbar ist, kann kostengünstiger als eine zweiteilige Realisierung sein.To save material, the radiation guide body16 can be divided into two separate parts. In one part of which a decreasing radiation14 and are reflected on the outer boundary17 oriented radiation19 and in the other part, the surface of the outer discs23 totally reflected radiation24 is guided. The formation of the radiation guide body16 as a single piece, which can be produced, for example, with a rotationally symmetrical structure of the rain sensor10 as a turned part, can be less expensive than a two-part implementation.
