Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dishwasher with an operating device, which is characterized by ease of use and insensitivity to dirt.
  • the invention further relates to an operating device with a display function for the visible reproduction of information on the inputs made via the operating device and the operating state of the dishwasher.
  • Dishwashers are usually operated via rotary selector switches or buttons, whereby buttons are known in different designs, such as e.g. Short-stroke keys or mechanical switches.
  • buttons are known in different designs, such as e.g. Short-stroke keys or mechanical switches.
  • dishwashers with display devices which serve for the visible reproduction of information, e.g. the selected washing program, the current stalus of the washing program or the fill level of detergent, rinse aid or other means necessary for the operation of the dishwasher.
  • the display devices are separated from the operating elements and generally comprise a plurality of displays, each for displaying certain information, such as e.g. the operation of the dishwasher are provided.
  • the known operating devices have the disadvantage that they include moving parts that are both susceptible to wear and can be impaired in their function by dirt.
  • the display devices according to the prior art have the disadvantage that a plurality of display areas are required to display a plurality of items of information and that different illuminants must also be used to display different colors.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the disadvantages mentioned above and to create a dishwasher with an operating device which is largely insensitive to wear and soiling with a high degree of user-friendliness.
  • an operating device is provided, with an operating device for activation or deactivation 200301776
  • the contact surface of the operating device preferably reacts to the change in the electromagnetic field, e.g. B. capacitively with a capacitor or with an infrared light barrier or with a piezo element due to a touch and then the relevant operational function is activated or deactivated or selected.
  • the contact area with suitable electronic circuits e.g. connected to a flip-flop circuit, which react to a change in the electromagnetic field caused by touching the contact surface by changing their switching state.
  • the operating function on the contact surface can also be capacitive, e.g. B. can be activated or deactivated with a capacitor or with a piezo element.
  • the principle on which the present invention is based is therefore to equip the operating device with touch-sensitive contact surfaces with a switch function, which change their switching state even as a result of a slight touch by an operator. In this way, no or extremely little or effort is required from an operator in order to select or activate, for example, a specific washing program or operating functions on the operating device, which increases the ease of use.
  • the operating device comprises a number of touch-sensitive touch surfaces with a switch function, each of which is assigned at least one operating function.
  • Such operating functions of the dishwasher are, for example, the selection of a washing program to be carried out, the input of a desired operating temperature or the query of the current operating state, the (remaining) running time of the washing program or the fill level of detergent, rinse aid.
  • the contact surface of the operating device has a flat surface and with the surface in which the operating device is arranged on the dishwasher is substantially in one plane and is preferably flush with the surface surrounding it is particularly advantageous. Due to the small overall depth of the operating device, this can largely be easily as desired 200301776
  • the flush termination of the operating device with the surface in which the operating device is integrated has the advantageous effect that the operating device is not susceptible to contamination since there are no protruding parts on which dirt could catch. Since the operating device only has contact surfaces that have no moving parts, a mechanical malfunction is also excluded.
  • the contact surfaces of the operating device can be at least partially covered by a transparent film, for example made of plastic. Because of the transparency of the cover film, the labeling of the contact surfaces under the cover film remains recognizable. Covering the operating device by means of a transparent film also has the advantage that the operating device is protected from direct soiling and any soiling on the transparent film can be easily removed.
  • the cover contact surface of the operating device can at least partially consist of a metal foil which has sufficient flexibility to pass on the pressure exerted on the metal foil to the relevant contact surface of the operating device. This is expedient. Metal foil is also provided with clear labels to identify the operating functions of the contact surface of the operating device underneath.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher with a display device which displays the inputs or settings made on the operating device.
  • This object is achieved by a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, in which the contact surfaces of the operating device are illuminated by one or more lamps.
  • the backlighting of the operating device can be designed in such a way that the operating device is illuminated uniformly. This ensures that the operating functions of the individual contact surfaces of the operating device can be recognized even in unfavorable lighting conditions.
  • the visible surface of the operating device is expediently made at least partially from transparent, preferably matted material, since such a material makes the backlighting and the reproduction of the inscriptions on the contact surfaces particularly good 200301776
  • the backlighting of the touch surfaces of the operating device can be regulated in such a way that the touch surface only lights up when the relevant operating function is activated or selected. As a result, the selection or activation of the relevant operational function is displayed immediately.
  • the luminosity of the individual lamps can be regulated in stages.
  • a contact surface of the operating device can only be backlit weakly if the relevant operating function has not been selected or activated, and can be backlit more strongly if the relevant operating function has been selected or activated. It is also possible to display different levels of operational function by backlighting the contact surface in question with different intensities.
  • Light-emitting diodes are particularly suitable as light sources, since they are distinguished on the one hand by low power consumption and on the other hand by low susceptibility to interference.
  • the backlighting can be designed in such a way that each touching surface of the operating device is backlit by a separate illuminant, at least one illuminant being provided for backlighting each individual touching surface. This gives the opportunity to.
  • Backlighting of a certain touch area to indicate the selection or activation of the relevant operating function of the touch area.
  • Another advantage of the individual backlighting of the contact surfaces by means of separate illuminants is that a selection or activation of the relevant operational function is indicated immediately by the lighting up of the relevant contact surface, i.e.
  • the touch area and display area are identical.
  • the operating device according to the invention also becomes a display device which shows the user information about the inputs made via the operating device and the operating state of the dishwasher.
  • the contact surfaces of the operating device are backlit by lamps of different luminous colors.
  • a failed operating function or an abnormal operating state of the dishwasher was identified, for example, by a red backlighting, while a faultless function can be indicated, for example, by a green backlighting.
  • the transparent film with which the operating device is covered can 6

Abstract

L'objectif de cette invention est de fournir un lave-vaisselle pourvu d'un dispositif de commande permettant d'activer ou de désactiver et de sélectionner des fonctions de commande du lave-vaisselle, lequel dispositif est d'une grande facilité d'emploi et largement insensible à l'usure ainsi qu'à l'encrassement. A cet effet, le dispositif de commande du lave-vaisselle selon l'invention présente au moins une surface à effleurement pourvue d'une fonction à commutation, à laquelle est associée au moins une fonction de commande, la fonction à commutation de la surface à effleurement pouvant être actionnée par un léger effleurement, la fonction de commande associée étant ainsi activée, désactivée ou sélectionnée. La surface à effleurement du dispositif de commande réagit, de préférence, à la variation du champ électromagnétique, laquelle variation résulte d'un effleurement des surfaces à effleurement par lequel la fonction de commande associée est activée, désactivée ou sélectionnée. Le confort d'utilisation est augmenté, du fait que seulement peu d'effort est nécessaire, par exemple, pour sélectionner ou activer un programme de lavage spécifique ou des fonctions de commande sur le dispositif de commande.
