Meßeinrichtung für die anteilige Stärke von UV/-B-Strahlung im Sonnenlicht.Measuring device for the proportional strength of UV/-B radiation in sunlight.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Anzeigevorrichtung für die anteilige Stärke von UV/-B-Strahlung im Sonnenlicht. Alternativ dazu kann auch der Absolutwert der UV-B-Strahlung angezeigt werden.The invention relates to a display device for the proportional strength of UV/-B radiation in sunlight. Alternatively, the absolute value of the UV-B radiation can also be displayed.
Meßgeräte für die anteilige bzw. absolute Stärke der UV-B-Strahlung im Sonnenlicht sind seit vielen Jahren bekannt und werden z. B. in der Wetterbeobachtung angewendet.Measuring devices for the proportional or absolute strength of UV-B radiation in sunlight have been known for many years and are used, for example, in weather observation.
Diese Geräte sind sehr aufwendig gebaut und entsprechend teuer. Einfache und billige Meßeinrichtungen, mit deren Hilfe die anteilige bzw. absolute Stärke der UV/-B-Strahlung im Sonnenlicht genügend genau bestimmt werden kann, existieren bisher nicht. Zwei elektronische Geräte, die im Sommer 1990 auf den Markt kamen, messen den UV-A-Bereich, der für den Verwendungszweck der erfindungsgemäßen Meßeinrichtung nicht relevant ist, bzw. den Bräunungsgrad der Haut, dessen Intensität bei Menschen unterschiedlichen Hauttyps auch einen unterschiedlichen Gefährdungsgrad anzeigt. Weiter gibt es von der Firma Lancaster (Sonnenschutzmittel) die passive "Lancaster-Card", die aber nur einmal verwendet werden kann.These devices are very complex and accordingly expensive. Simple and inexpensive measuring devices that can be used to determine the proportionate or absolute strength of UV/B radiation in sunlight with sufficient accuracy do not yet exist. Two electronic devices that came onto the market in the summer of 1990 measure the UV-A range, which is not relevant for the purpose of the measuring device according to the invention, or the degree of tanning of the skin, the intensity of which indicates a different degree of risk for people with different skin types. The company Lancaster (sunscreen) also offers the passive "Lancaster Card", which can only be used once.
Der derzeitige Stand der Technik passiver UV/-Indikatoren ist durch das Gebrauchsmuster G 89 13 728.G gegeben.The current state of the art of passive UV/-indicators is given by the utility model G 89 13 728.G.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Meßeinrichtung zu schaffen, die in Anbetracht des dramatischen Rückganges der uns Menschen vor dem ganzen UV-Bereich schützenden Ozonschicht es jeder sich im Freien aufhaltenden Person ermöglicht, die Menge der aufgenommenen UV-B-Strahlung als dem eigentlich gesundheitsgefährdenden Bereich, abzuschätzen.The invention is based on the task of creating a measuring device which, in view of the dramatic decline in the ozone layer which protects us humans from the entire UV range, enables every person staying outdoors to estimate the amount of UV-B radiation absorbed, which is the range which actually poses a health risk.
Die Stärke der gemessenen aktuellen UV-B-Bestrahlung gibt dann dem Benutzer mit Hilfe einer mitgelieferten ader aufgedruckten Hauttyp-Verg^ichstabelle an, welcher Risikograd für Sonnenbrand (und damit für Spätschäden, z. B. für Schwarzen Hautkrebs) besteht. Diese Angabe ermöglicht es dann dem Benutzer, sein eigenes Risiko zu minimieren, uiobei weitere Einflußfaktoren in die Festlegung der individuellen Sonnenbestrahlungszeit einbezogen werden sollten.The strength of the measured current UV-B radiation then tells the user, with the help of a skin type comparison table supplied or printed on it, what level of risk there is for sunburn (and thus for long-term damage, e.g. melanoma). This information then enables the user to minimize their own risk, while other influencing factors should be taken into account when determining the individual sun exposure time.
Erreicht wird diEses Ziel dadurch, daß eine aus Glas oder Kunststoff bestehende Scheibe oder Fläche (1) mit einem Pigment dotiert ist, welches beim Auftreffen van UV-B-Strahlung sich entweder verdunkelt oder seinen Farbton ändert. Nach einer materialabhängigen Bestrahlungszeit hat die Verdunkelung bzw. Verfärbung einen Endwert (Sättigung) erreicht und kann nun mit einer daneben angebrachten Grautreppe (2) (oder Graukeil) bzw. Farbtreppe (oder Farbverlauf) verglichen werden,wobei der Grad der Veränderung ein Maß für die aktuelle UV-B-Strahlung darstellt. Eine weitere Verbesserung der Anzeigegenauigkeit läßt sich erreichen, wenn die Anzeigefläche ader eine Abdeckung derselben mit einem UV-A-Sperrfilter versehen wird.This goal is achieved by doping a pane or surface (1) made of glass or plastic with a pigment that either darkens or changes its color when it is exposed to UV-B radiation. After a material-dependent irradiation time, the darkening or discoloration has reached a final value (saturation) and can now be compared with a gray scale (2) (or gray wedge) or color scale (or color gradient) attached next to it, with the degree of change representing a measure of the current UV-B radiation. A further improvement in display accuracy can be achieved if the display surface or a cover for it is provided with a UV-A blocking filter.
Eine erfindungsgemäße Meßeinrichtung für die anteilige Stärke von UV-B-Strahlung im Sonnenlicht, die z. B. als Ansteckbutton, Anhänger, Schmuckstück oder im Scheckkartenformat (siehe Zeichnung) ausgeführt werden kann, läßt sich sehr preiswert herstellen. In der Zeichnung einer praktischen Ausführung der erfindungsgemäßen Einrichtung sind auch die Anzahl der kürzlich genommenen Sonnenbäder (3) und der Schutzfaktor des verwendeten Sonnenschutzmittels (it) berücksichtigt.A measuring device according to the invention for the proportional strength of UV-B radiation in sunlight, which can be designed, for example, as a pin, pendant, piece of jewelry or in credit card format (see drawing), can be manufactured very inexpensively. The drawing of a practical version of the device according to the invention also takes into account the number of recent sunbaths (3) and the protection factor of the sunscreen used (it).
Die Beschränkung auf die Anzeige von UV-B-Strahlung unter gleichzeitiger steilflankiger Ausblendung des UV-A-Bereiches bietet sich an, wenn man auf die Anzeige des kosmetisch wirksamen Anteils der Sonnenstrahlung zugunsten der reinen Gesundheitsvarsarge verzichtet. Nach dem heutigen Erkenntnisstand scheint diese Lösung am besten den Anforderungen der Dermatologen zu entsprechen. Limiting the display to UV-B radiation while simultaneously blocking out the UV-A range is a good idea if you forego displaying the cosmetically effective portion of solar radiation in favor of purely health-related radiation. Based on current knowledge, this solution seems to best meet the requirements of dermatologists.
