Glass pane having a detector for electromagnetic radiation
A glass pane ( 1 ) has an inner side ( 6 ) and an outer side ( 5 ) and a detector ( 10 ) located on the inner side ( 6 ) for electromagnetic radiation which, coming from the outer side ( 5 ), passes through the glass pane ( 1 ) and can be detected by means of the detector. The glass pane ( 1 ) is a composite pane, in particular a glass pane of composite safety glass of a motor vehicle, with an inner pane ( 3 ) and an outer pane ( 2 ), which are joined to each other with the aid of a film ( 4 ) arranged between the inner pane ( 3 ) and the outer pane ( 2 ). In order also to obtain a sufficient intensity of the electromagnetic radiation passing through the glass pane ( 1 ) and detectable by the detector ( 10 ) in glass panes with a small transmission coefficient, it is proposed that the beam path of the electromagnetic radiation leading to the detector ( 10 ) penetrate only the material of the outer pane ( 2 ) and pass through the plane of the inner pane ( 3 ) in the region of a continuous hole ( 7 ).
1. A glass pane having an inner side and an outer side and a detector located on the inner side for electromagnetic radiation which, coming from the outer side, passes through the glass pane and can be detected by means of the detector, the glass pane being a composite pane with an inner pane and an outer pane, which are joined to each other with the aid of a film arranged between the inner pane and the outer pane, wherein the beam path of the electromagnetic radiation leading to the detector penetrates only the material of the outer pane and passes through the plane of the inner pane in the region of a continuous hole, and wherein the beam path runs encapsulated within a housing, which closely adjoins the inner side of the glass pane or the circumferential surface bounding the hole.
2. The glass pane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hole in the inner pane is produced before a bending-reshaping treatment of the inner pane and the edge region of the hole has edge stresses running peripherally in the form of compressive stresses.
3. The glass pane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the film is removed in the region of the hole or the beam path passing through the latter.
4. The glass pane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the outer pane has a transmission coefficient with respect to the electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the detector which lies in the range between 0.80 and 0.93.
5. The glass pane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a receptor plane of an element of the detector that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation is to be arranged further in the direction of the outer side of the glass pane than a plane defined by the inner side of the glass pane in an edge region of the hole.
6. The glass pane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a receptor plane of an element of the detector that is sensitive to electromagnetic radiation is to be arranged further in the direction of the inner side of the glass pane than a plane defined by the inner side of the glass pane in an edge region of the hole.
7. The glass pane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the hole has the form of an oval, an ellipse or a rounded trapezium in a section plane running parallel to the inner side or the outer side.
8. The glass pane as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the hole has the form of an oval.
9. The glass pane as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the hole has the form of an ellipse.
10. The glass pane as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the hole has the form of a rounded trapezium in a section plane running parallel to the inner side or the outer side.
11. The glass pane as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a transmitter for emitting such electromagnetic radiation that the radiation reflected by objects that are located in front of the glass pane at a distance from the outer side of the glass pane can be detected by a detector, the transmitter and the detector being combined structurally to form a transmission-detector unit or being spaced physically apart from each other, and the respective beam path penetrating the glass pane in one or different holes.
