Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household appliance, in particular laundry treatment machine such as washing machine, washer-dryer or dryer, with a control panel, which serves as a carrier for controls and / or control components.
  • Such a household appliance is known from patent DE 196 51 821 C2.
  • the household appliance disclosed in this document contains a control panel with buttons, which are each in mechanical operative connection via a plunger with a microswitch disposed in the interior of the housing.
  • the key engages with its side circumference arranged latching hook against the rear edge of the passage opening for the key and is thus held on the upper part of the control panel.
  • On the plunger an elastic dome is arranged, which causes a springback of the plunger and thus keeps the button in the front rest position under bias.
  • the elastic dome serves as a seal, whereby in the gap between the button and the opening wall penetrating spray water can not get further into the interior of the housing.
  • German patent application DE 41 11 680 A1 discloses a keypad or a keyboard housing, which has a high impermeability to contamination.
  • a so-called cover mat is used, which contains a passage opening with integrally formed dome or dome for each key or a key plunger.
  • the sealing mat rests on the outside of the housing, the interior of which is to be sealed.
  • the structure of the keypad is designed so that the keys are guided in the passage openings of the housing wall.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a household appliance with a control panel, which ensures a good seal against splashing with simple and quick installation.
  • control components contained in the control panel are very well protected against spray, the structure is very simple, compact and inexpensive.
  • keys are arranged in openings in the front wall of the control panel, which are in mechanical operative connection in each case via a plunger with a switch associated with the button, in particular micro-switch or Kurzhubschalter.
  • the keys are used, for example, for setting programs or additional functions.
  • elastic domes are arranged, on the one hand seal the movable plunger to the fixed rear wall, on the other hand provide by their elasticity a restoring force for the depressed button, causing it to be moved back to its original position after releasing.
  • a sealing mat is arranged in the interior of the control panel, which rests flat against the inside of the front wall. Passages are respectively provided for the plungers which sealingly surround the plunger with their inner edge.
  • the passage opening has a smaller cross section than the radial cross section of the plunger.
  • the sealing mat contains at the edges of the passage openings a cylindrical shape, which serves as a coating for a portion of the plunger and this very tightly surrounding in a partial area. This achieves a good seal against sprayed water.
  • the sealing mat in the areas between two adjacent through openings each having a wave-shaped formation, which provides a mechanical decoupling of the key movement between adjacent keys.
  • the shape has a directed to the interior of the control panel vertex so that the surface conditioning of the sealing mat is still guaranteed.
  • the domes are integrally formed on the sealing mat in the region of the passage openings, wherein they enclose the passage opening.
  • a rear wall with through-holes for the plunger is arranged between the front wall of the control panel and the receiving housing for the control components.
  • the arranged on the ram dome each have a support which rests tightly under prestress against the rear wall. In this way, a further seal is provided, which ensures a particularly reliable seal to the inside of the receiving housing for the control components.
  • the receptacle housing in the front wall contains bores which are aligned with the through bores in the rear wall of the control panel in order to provide the mechanical operative connection between the plunger and the respectively assigned switch located on the circuit board.
  • the front wall is approximately simulated the shape of the envelope surface of a spherical section with a radius of for example 3 m.
  • the plunger and the operator facing surfaces of the buttons are different in their geometric dimensions.
  • the button with its associated plunger are made in one piece.
  • a web in the lower area between the front wall of the control panel and the rear wall, a web is placed with at least one bore, which reliably dissipates penetrated water away from the receiving housing and thus away from the control components.
  • the bore is expediently arranged near the inside of the front wall of the control panel.
  • the control panel 1 are arranged as controls 8 keys in the front wall.
  • the keys protrude through the keyhole shaped openings 4 and are thus accessible to the operator.
  • a plunger 9 when the button 8 is pressed, the mechanical operative connection to the microswitch 13 associated with the button is made available.
  • the microswitches 13 are arranged, for example, directly on a printed circuit board 12 with further control components 20.
  • the printed circuit board is arranged and fixed in a receiving housing 5, for example latching screw or rivet connections.
  • the receiving housing 5 is inserted and attached to the assembled printed circuit board 12 in the control panel 1.
  • a arranged between the front wall of the receiving housing 5 and the front wall 2 of the control panel rear wall 6 with through holes 7 serves to guide the plunger.
  • an elastic sealing mat 14 with openings 15 for the plunger 9, which rests flat against the inner surface 3 of the front wall.
  • the passage openings 15 are dimensioned such that the plungers 9 are sealed by the inner edge of the passage openings 15.
  • a cylindrical shape 17 is formed, which covers the plunger 9 in a partial region of its length sealing.
  • the sealing mat reduced by the remaining joints between the inner edge of the opening 4 and the outer periphery of the key 8 penetrating water, especially water spray.
  • an elastic dome 18 is integrally formed on the open ends of the forms, wherein the molding can be made in one piece with the already described sealing mat 14.
  • the supports 19 of the dome 18 are arranged on the rear wall 6 and can be under a bias. Thus, it is prevented that in the front space 23 of the control panel penetrated water further enters the receiving housing 5 for the control components or in the interior of the household appliance and causes damage.
  • a web 21 is arranged below the plunger 9 with a drain hole. This is in this case angled in one piece from the rear wall and ensures its near the inner surface 3 of the front wall drain hole 22 ensures that in the front space 23 penetrated water defined by the receiving housing 5 and thus can run away from the control components 20 destructive.
  • the receiving housing 5 includes a front wall which rests against the rear wall 6 of the control panel.
  • the receiving housing 5 has bores 10 with an integrally formed overhang.
  • the sealing mat 14 in each case contains at least one wave-shaped formation 16, the apex of which has a distance from the inner surface 3 of the front wall 2.
  • This molding 16 is used for mechanical decoupling of the plunger 9, so that when pressing a button 8 to the interior of the control panel moving plunger 9 does not move the adjacent key 8a and the adjacent plunger 9a.
  • the keys 8 shown in Fig. 1 are made in one piece with the respective plungers 9 and consist of a hard material. Alternatively, however, multi-part embodiments are conceivable.
  • the front wall of the control panel is inclined or rounded.
  • the protruding from the outer surface buttons follow the course of this form.
  • an advantageous acting rounded shape which corresponds approximately to the course of a section of a spherical shell with, for example, about 3 m radius, results for each key a different shape and for each plunger a different length.
  • the viewing direction is directed to the inner surface 3 of the front wall of the control panel 1.
  • the voltage applied to the inner surface 3 sealing mat 14 with the molded domes 18 can be seen.
  • the plunger 9 protrude in their length in sections from the support 19 of the dome out.
  • the cylindrical shape 17 comprises or covers the plunger 9 in a partial region of its length such that it can not be pushed out or moved in the axial position when it is actuated in accordance with the expression 17 acting as a surround.
  • the additionally arranged rear wall 6 can be seen with the through holes 7 for the plunger.
  • the rear wall may contain further holes or components.
