Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance with at least one functional element for operating the same and a cover for an optional covering of the functional element.
  • Household appliances usually have functional elements to support the operation. Widely used are, for example, displays, in particular displays, and operating elements such as pushbuttons, rotary knobs, in particular the gags of a baking oven, or touchscreens.
  • a cooking area with a toggle switch panel As a safety device, a flap is mounted above the switch panel via a hinge, which projects in the unfolded state over the height of the cooking surface upwards. When folded down, the switch panel can be covered by the flap.
  • a disadvantage of this teaching is that the flap in the unfolded state of an operator may interfere with the way, such as in the handling of cookware on the hob. Furthermore, this optically conspicuous supernatant can also be perceived as aesthetically disadvantageous.
  • the DE 26 02 835 C3 shows a household appliance with a control panel having control panel.
  • a protective plate is mounted above the switch panel and can be pivoted relative to the switch panel. If the switch panel to be made accessible, the protective plate is pivoted about the storage upwards, in a depth direction of the Domestic appliance inserted above the switch panel extending space and there releasably latched.
  • a disadvantage of this teaching is that the pivoting, insertion, latching and tripping again requires a rather complex mechanism. Next, the required opening of the room for inserting the protective plate can make the front of the appliance visually restless.
  • the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a household appliance with a cover which, in a simple structure, a covering of a functional element allows, in which the cover does not interfere with movements of an operator and which allows alternative optical designs.
  • the invention is based on the finding that this object can be achieved by a cover is mounted so that it can be offset along the surface of the household appliance.
  • the object is achieved by a household appliance with at least one functional element for operating the household appliance and a cover for an optional covering at least one of the functional elements.
  • the household appliance is characterized in that the cover along a surface of the household appliance at least between a rest position in which the cover at least partially covers the at least one functional element, and an operating position in which the at least one functional element is exposed and another part of the surface of the Household appliance is covered by the cover is displaceable.
  • functional elements are in particular indicators and operating elements.
  • the functional elements may be, for example, buttons, knobs or displays.
  • the cover completely covers the functional element in one position. If the domestic appliance has a plurality of functional elements located close to one another in comparison to the extent of the domestic appliance, for example in the case of a switch panel or control bar with gags and a display, it is preferred if the cover completely covers all of these functional elements in the rest position. For reasons of linguistic simplicity, reference is here made to a plurality of functional elements.
  • an element is referred to, which is preferably flat, for example as a plate, designed and preferably made of opaque material.
  • the cover may for example consist of metal, in particular stainless steel.
  • In the rest position is or are the functional elements partially or completely hidden by the cover. In this position, access and thus actuation of the functional elements are not possible.
  • the functional elements are in the rest position of the cover thus protected against accidental operation, for example, in the cleaning of the surface of the household appliance, where the cover is provided. Also, fouling of the functional elements in the rest position of the cover can be prevented by this.
  • the view of the functional elements is not possible and the visual appearance of the surface of the household appliance and thus the entire household appliance receives a quieter visual appearance.
  • the surface on which the cover is provided is preferably the front of the household appliance, that is, the user of the household appliance side facing.
  • the cover In the operating position, the cover is offset from the rest position. In the operating position, the one or more functional elements are free and can be operated by the user of the household appliance. the other part of the cover conceals in this position another part of the surface of the household appliance. As a result, a protrusion or rising of the cover is prevented for example on the upper edge of the front of the household appliance and the user of the household appliance thus not disturbed by the cover.
  • the cover according to the invention between the rest position and the operating position along the surface of the household appliance is displaceable, changes on the one hand the visual impression of the household appliance between the two positions only by the visible in the operating position functional elements.
  • the cover does not change their visual appearance.
  • veneers which are folded upwards relative to the household appliance and in which the inside of the veneer thus becomes visible in the operating state
  • the appearance of the displaceable cover used according to the invention in the rest position and the operating position is the same.
  • the storage of the cover can be easily configured.
  • the holder of the cover is referred to in the context of this invention, which holds the cover in the two positions and the movement between these two positions.
  • a further advantage of the invention is that the surface of the household appliance can be made visually very quiet, since the cover itself can be optically quiet and possibly existing optically conspicuous structures on the body of the household appliance can be covered.
  • the cover and the storage by means of which the cover is connected to the household appliance, cover are
  • the storage of the cover allows only translational movements of the cover.
  • a translational movement is a movement in which each point of the cover is moved in the same direction by the same amount.
  • a plurality of translatory movements for displacing the cover be performed.
  • the cover can be first removed by a certain amount from the surface of the household appliance, then be offset parallel to the surface and moved again to the surface.
  • a translational movement can be realized with simpler mechanisms. As a result, the structure of the household appliance is simplified.
  • the cover is displaceable along the surface of the household appliance between the rest position and the operating position.
  • the displacement of the cover is advantageous because the required support or storage of the cover can be made particularly simple and in particular may consist of simple rails.
  • the cover is mounted on the surface of the household appliance.
  • the storage of the cover can be glued, for example, on the surface of the household appliance, welded or otherwise secured to the surface.
  • the mechanism for displacing the cover for example the rails, is received in the cover.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the surface of the household appliance does not have to be changed. In particular, no recesses or cavities for receiving the storage of the cover or for the cover itself are required.
  • the surface is, for example, a surface made of glass or other sensitive materials, it is advantageous to apply the bearing of the cover to the latter, since processing the Surface is difficult.
  • the storage of the cover may be designed so that the cover rests directly on the surface during both the displacement and in the rest and the operating position; but it can also be provided a distance between the cover and the surface, in particular during the displacement. Since the storage itself is optionally covered by the cover, the impression can be conveyed that the cover floating in a displacement in front of the surface of the household appliance.
  • the cover is mounted on the surface of the household appliance on a part of the surface which is separated from the part of the surface which has the at least one functional element.
  • the cover may be mounted on the door and the functional elements may be provided on the part defining the frame of the door.
  • This arrangement has the advantage that the cover in the rest position, in which it covers the functional elements, also obscures the transition from one part of the surface to the other part of the surface.
  • a gap provided between the door and a switch panel can be concealed by the cover.
  • the visual appearance of the household appliance is further improved and created in particular a quieter appearance.
  • the cover is part of a multi-part covering device.
  • the cover is offset relative to a further part of the cover, in particular moved.
  • This embodiment is particularly suitable for cases in which the covering covers a large area.
  • the cover is a frame or forms part of a frame-shaped covering device.
  • the cover or the covering device can cover the largest possible area with relatively little weight.
  • the frame for example, cover the gap formed between the door and the door frame. If the covering device constitutes a frame, then, for example, the lower web of the frame and the lateral webs of the frame can be fixedly connected to the surface, in particular the door, and the upper web can be moved, in particular displaced, relative to these fixed webs.
  • the household appliance is an oven.
  • the control and display elements are usually above the opening of the oven muffle, which is closed by a door.
  • the functional elements can be blinded together with the gap between the control bar and the door.
  • controls for other household appliances such as located above the oven hotplate that can be integrated in the control bar on the front of the oven can be covered with the cover of the invention.
  • an oven can be created with a quiet front view in the unused state.
  • a provision of the controls, for example on the top of the door, as is possible with other household appliances, such as a dishwasher, is not possible due to the temperatures in the oven and thus on the oven door.
  • the cover is preferably a frame or is part of a frame-shaped covering.
  • the cover should be possible to check the condition of the food in the oven, the insight into the oven muffle without having to open the oven door. This can be easily accomplished using a frame.
  • a sight glass may be provided in the opening of the frame.
  • the storage of the cover, which is located behind the cover be additionally protected against contamination.
  • the household appliance according to the invention preferably has functional elements which lie at least in a rest position in the plane of the strip or panel in which they are provided. For example, so-called touchscreens are used. But the use of retractable rotary knob is possible. By not protruding the functional elements out of the plane of the bar when not in use, the cover can easily be brought to the rest position in this position. In this embodiment, the cover can be easily brought by moving from the operating position to the rest position.
  • the cover is mounted so that it by pivoting or lifting from the surface on which the cover is mounted, such a distance from the surface that it can be passed over the functional elements, without damaging them.
  • the cover in the region in which it covers the functional elements preferably designed hollow, that is, has a functional elements facing the cavity.
  • the cover can also be configured for other functions on the household appliance.
  • a contact may be provided on the cover, which when connected to a surface provided further contact, leads to the interruption of the power supply.
  • the display in the rest position of the cover is no longer visible through the cover and leading to the display power can be turned off to further reduce the energy consumption of the household appliance.
  • the cover in particular, when it is attached to a door of a household appliance, at the same time serve to open the door.
  • the cover itself can be configured as a handle, or have a handle.
  • the handle can also facilitate the manual movement of the cover.
  • a locking of the cover in the operating position or in the rest position by the user it is advantageous if a locking of the cover in the operating position or in the rest position by the user must be solved before the cover can be moved to the rest position. As a result, accidental movement or slippage of the cover when opening the door can be avoided.
  • the cover can also serve, for example, for the additional closing or holding of a door of the domestic appliance on which it is provided, in the closed position.
  • the cover preferably has a closure element.
  • the cover may have a flange on its rear side, which engages in a corresponding groove on the surface of the household appliance.
