Definitions

  • the invention relates to an arrangement of an electrical device with a panel, in particular a dishwasher or a refrigerator, which in a kitchen is provided with a panel to be attached over a surface to a door of the electrical device.
  • the invention also relates to a method for producing such an arrangement.
  • Such electrical appliances are also known as built-in or fully integrated household appliances. They do not have their own front or front cladding that should be visible when installed. Rather, a panel is mounted on the front of the door, and this panel can be held in a design that otherwise forms the fronts in the kitchen.
  • a panel is usually a board made of wood or a fiber board with a coating, for example a lacquer or a real wood veneer.
  • a household appliance is known as an electrical appliance with a concealed control panel which has a display device in an opening on the panel in front of a door of the electrical appliance. This is obviously always visible.
  • the invention is based on the object of providing an arrangement of an electrical device with a panel and a method for producing such an arrangement, with which problems of the prior art can be solved and in particular it is possible to provide a display or an illuminated display for a To provide such an electrical device with a panel attached in front of it in a practical and cost-effective manner.
  • the electrical appliance which is advantageously a dishwasher or a refrigerator and which is to be installed in a kitchen, has a door that can be opened, with a flat or large panel being applied to this door, as can be done with integrated electrical appliances.
  • This door can advantageously be completely covered by the panel.
  • the door can particularly advantageously be hingedly openable, but alternatively it can also be intended for a so-called pull-out refrigerator.
  • a display device which has or forms an illuminated display, is arranged on the door.
  • the structure of this display device is explained in more detail below, but it can be arranged at the front of the door of the electrical device, in the door or even behind the door. Advantageous it is arranged at least partially or a part of it on the front or outward facing front of the door. A part of the display device protrudes beyond the front or front surface of the door, in particular an optical part of the display device or possibly provided light guide bodies or light guides, as will be explained in more detail below.
  • the protrusion of the display device or at least a part of the display device has the meaning that it can reach into a recess to be made in the panel for the production of said arrangement or to be made thereon in order to be closer to its front surface or to be closer to it the facing covering or covering the front surface. It is advantageously on the back of the lamination.
  • this covering is designed to be translucent in such a way that the illuminated display in an activated state, that is, when it is lit, shines through the covering and is thus recognizable to an operator. The closer the display device is to this lamination or a rear side of the lamination, the better, brighter and sharper the illuminated display can be perceived.
  • an electrical device designed as a fully integrated electrical device it is possible for an electrical device designed as a fully integrated electrical device to be provided, as is customary, with a said panel for installation in a kitchen.
  • simply arranging a display device in any arbitrary manner in this diaphragm results in a visual impression that is usually not particularly advantageous, which is precisely to be avoided by the provision of such a diaphragm.
  • the electrical device is not in operation, nothing should be visible, in particular no deactivated or inactive display device, which usually does not look very appealing.
  • the prior art mentioned at the beginning avoids this by projecting downwards onto the floor area, with nothing being visible in the non-active state either, neither an illuminated display nor a display device.
  • the illuminated display can occupy a single closed area on the door. This means that the illuminated display is not provided at a number of separate or distant locations, so that only a single recess has to be made in the said panel. In addition, a spatially combined illuminated display is visually more appealing, and the manufacturing outlay for the display device is also significantly reduced.
  • the display device or the illuminated display can have a plurality of luminous elements that can be illuminated independently of one another. These can, for example, form at least two seven-segment displays and have LEDs for this purpose. Their arrangement or the construction of an illuminated display can take place in accordance with the prior art, as is also shown, for example, in FIG DE 10352714 A is known. Such seven-segment displays can display numerical values as well as simple letters or symbols. The light elements can also form or illuminate and represent any other symbols.
  • Electronics for the display device in particular on a printed circuit board or a component carrier, can be attached to or in front of the door of the electrical device. It is protected and covered at the front by the panel to be attached. A connection to this electronics can or the like by means of cables, foil conductors. take place through the door, since the operating device and the control are often also located in the door in such electrical devices, in particular dishwashers.
  • electronics can also be arranged behind or in the door and only one type of separate display module of the illuminated display with luminous elements and the aforementioned light guide bodies or light guides can be arranged on or at the front of the door, in particular protruding from the door. This means that in A smaller recess can be provided for the panel, since there is no space for all of the electronics in it, but only for the aforementioned display module or lighting elements and light guide body or light guide.
  • the display device has at least one aforementioned light-permeable light guide body or light guide for the illuminated display.
  • a light guide body or light guide is preferably arranged between the aforementioned lighting elements and a front surface of the screen.
  • a similar material can therefore be used. This also serves to ensure that the aforementioned luminous elements do not themselves have to be arranged as close as possible to the lamination in order to be easily recognizable through it or to form a clearly recognizable luminous display.
  • an aforementioned light guide body or light guide can have a covering masking.
  • a mask can be a type of lacquer or printing.
  • At least one cutout is provided per light guide body or light guide, which forms a type of translucent symbol.
  • a symbol can also be displayed in a certain form as an illuminated display in a very simply designed light guide body or light guide.
  • the display device can have a cover or a cover plate. This can form the front of the display device.
  • a cover or cover plate should be at least partially translucent. It serves as a closure of the display device, in particular as a mechanically stable closure and possibly also to achieve a stable and surface-flush closure in the aforementioned recess in the panel.
  • Such a cover or cover plate can advantageously consist of glass or completely translucent plastic. Possibly it can also at least partially have the aforementioned properties of light guide body or light guide, that is to say made of translucent or opaque material exist and ensure that the indicator light is evened out. It can possibly also have an aforementioned masking on the front and / or rear to represent a symbol that can be transilluminated.
  • An aforementioned cover or cover plate can advantageously be designed in a very simple geometric basic shape in order to facilitate the production of a recess in the panel and the fitting.
  • a rectangular shape or, even better, a circular shape is ideal here.
  • a precisely defined and exact recess can be produced very easily with a circular hole saw.
  • an aforementioned display device with electronics or its component carrier or, if this is arranged elsewhere, at least one cable connection, the lighting elements, possibly a light guide body or light guide and possibly a cover or cover plate is designed as an independently manageable unit. This can then easily be attached to the door of the electrical device or attached when the electrical device is installed. Especially when the display device can be moved in connection with a cable, flexible conductor or the like. an exact adaptation to a recess produced in the diaphragm can thus be achieved in order to be able to compensate for errors or tolerances that arise in the process.
  • Such mobility of the display device relative to the door or a front side of the door can advantageously be at least in a direction perpendicular to the front side of the door, advantageously generally. In this way, it is easy to adapt to different thicknesses of a panel to be attached.
  • the cables, flexible conductors or the like. can compensate for this by dimensioning the length accordingly.
  • the electronics are arranged behind the front surface of the door of the electrical device or in the door, but also the lighting elements themselves.
  • the display device to be arranged on the door can then advantageously be formed by light guides, as it were, which exit from said unit and run into the door and emerge at the front of the door. They can then be connected to the aforementioned further light guide bodies or light guides, which in turn turn the luminosity of the light guides, so to speak, into an illuminated display that shows symbols.
  • An arrangement according to the invention has an electrical device as described above and a cover for it, the cover being attached to the door of the electrical device. In this case, it largely covers the door, advantageously at an upper edge and on the sides, particularly advantageously at least essentially downwards as well.
  • a recess is provided in the panel or is made therein during manufacture of the arrangement in order to arrange the display device therein or at least the areas that protrude beyond the front of the door.
  • Such a recess can be continuous, advantageously with a constant cross section, in particular in order to be able to produce it more easily, as has been described above, for example with a circular hole saw.
  • a front side of the display device is advantageously in direct contact with a rear side of the lamination. In this way, fluoroscopy is easily possible when the illuminated display is activated, while only the lamination with its optics can be seen when the illuminated display is deactivated.
  • This lamination covers the panel at least in the area of the display device, so that it is not visible, in particular also not in its function as a display device.
  • a lamination as the above-described film or a film-like lamination can have a thickness less than or equal to 1 mm, advantageously 0.01 mm to 0.5 mm thick.
  • the transparency of the lamination should be such that it can be illuminated by the illuminated display or the light of the illuminated elements of the display device and the illuminated display can thus be recognized.
  • the smallest possible distance between the front side of the display device or light exit from the display device and the lamination itself or its rear side must be observed.
  • Said lamination can on the one hand have a plastic carrier film on which a decorative layer is applied, which forms the front or front surface.
  • a decorative layer can be a colored layer or a thin metallization, as is known from the field of film technology. If such a metallization is thin enough, it can also be well illuminated by a luminous display which, for example, has a conventional SMD LED with medium luminosity as a luminous element.
  • the display device can have at least one touch switch or a proximity switch for operating functions of the electrical device on a front side or at the front. It is therefore possible to create a type of operating device with an operating element and an illuminated display. This is particularly advantageous with a touch switch or proximity switch Capacitive sensor element, but also optical touch switches or proximity switches are possible with shining through the covering, which is actually translucent. Other functional principles of touch switches or proximity switches are also conceivable.
  • the touch switch or proximity switch is arranged close to the illuminated display or within the illuminated display, that is to say within its luminous appearance.
  • the display device, the touch switch (s) or proximity switch and the capacitive sensor elements provided for this can preferably be designed as a structural unit. This means that assembly and, above all, electrical connection are easy to carry out.
  • the aforementioned component carriers or printed circuit boards for the illuminated display or its electronics can also carry the touch switch or proximity switch with the sensor elements.
  • the display device and touch switch can particularly advantageously be integrated or designed as a structural unit according to the prior art, see, for example, FIG DE 10352714 A1 for an optical touch switch or the EP 1030536 A2 or the WO 2011/012501 A1 for a capacitive touch switch.
  • optical or capacitive sensor elements simultaneously serve as touch switches and also as proximity switches with respect to the front side or the surface of the lamination. So you can first recognize an approach of a finger and that a touch with the finger and distinguish them from each other. It is thus possible that when the finger approaches the lamination in the area of the display device or operating device, for example to less than 10 cm or 5 cm, the illuminated display is first activated in the function of a proximity switch. In this way, the possible functions as an operating device can be displayed to an operator by the illuminated display. Concrete operation can then take place in the function of a touch switch. For the exact realization, the DE 102007057076 A1 referenced.
  • a touch switch or capacitive sensor elements should advantageously rest on the rear side of the lamination for good functioning or reliable detection of an operation or touch or approach. In this way, a flush design of the front of the door is achieved or maintained.
  • the sensor element can either surround a luminous element, as in the DE 10352714 A1 or the EP 1030536 A2 demonstrate.
  • a sensor element can be transparent, as is the case with the WO 2011/012501 A1 shows, and extend over a large area above or above the lighting elements. Electrical contact can be made to capacitive sensor elements on top of a display device or a light guide body, as described there, advantageously via laterally extending contacts.
  • a recess must be made in the panel for mounting the electrical device in the kitchen, which recess is at least large enough to accommodate the display device. In particular, it must be able to accommodate the part of the display device standing over the front of the door.
  • the panel is then attached to the door, with this projecting part being adjusted in the recess depending on the type of connection between the protruding part of the display device and the electrical device or its door.
  • a lamination fastened or arranged on the front side of the panel then ultimately covers the display device.
  • the covering can be attached to the panel before the panel is attached to the door of the electrical device. Then the application of the lining may be simplified, but the arrangement of the panel on the door is somewhat more difficult. Furthermore, during this assembly process, care must be taken not to damage or adversely affect the lamination.
  • the lining can be attached to the panel after the panel has already been attached to the door. This is a bit more complex. But then the last assembly step is attaching the lamination and it can be better protected against damage. Furthermore, the arrangement of the display device in the recess and a possible adjustment or precise setting are simpler.

  • the dishwasher 11 has a door 13 which is hinged on a lower edge in an articulated manner, as is customary for such fully integrated dishwashers.
  • An operating device with operating elements in the form of pushbuttons or touch sensors is arranged on an upper edge of the door 13 (not shown here). An essential part of the control of the dishwasher 11 is therefore contained in the door 13.
  • the front or front surface of the dishwasher 11 in FIG Fig. 1 is formed by a film 40 as a lamination according to the invention, which covers the entire front of the door 13.
  • a handle 16 of the dishwasher which can be seen here, is placed at the front on this film 40 and fastened, for example screwed.
  • a luminous display 18 can be seen in the upper area, which here is a type of seven-segment display Fig. 2 to be seen display device is formed. It represents the number “87”, which can be easily recognized as an illuminated display 18. This number shows an operator the remaining running time of a currently running program of the operation of the dishwasher 11. In principle, however, very different symbols or information can be displayed.
  • the illuminated display 18 and also the film 40 are designed in such a way that nothing can be seen in the deactivated state of the illuminated display 18, that is to say when it is switched off. An operator then only perceives the front side of the film 40 or the film 40 itself. At the same time, the film 40, at least in the area of the illuminated display 18, is so translucent, usually due to a correspondingly small thickness, that when the illuminated display 18 is activated, it is possible to shine through the film 40. The illuminated display 18 can then be clearly seen.

It can serve to equalize the luminous display of the LED 22a for a uniform and beautiful-looking luminous display 18a. Furthermore, it can serve as a protection and front cover for the display device 17a. For this purpose, it can be inserted precisely into a recess 32a in a panel 30a.

  • an exactly full-area and uninterrupted flat front side is to be provided, which can then be provided or glued with the film 40c as a lamination.
  • Such a large or full-area disk 35c can, however, be provided regardless of whether LED as in the Figs. 2 and 3 are provided at the front of the display device or a few millimeters below the film 40 or whether, as here in FIG Fig. 4 the case, light guides are provided.
  • the light guides 26c can have a certain amount of freedom of movement for the light guide body 24c, so that it can be easily inserted into a recess 32c in the panel 30c and certain assembly tolerances can be compensated for. A joint running in between would not be so bad in the present case, since the full-surface pane 35c is still mounted in front of it.
  • an electrical supply line 20d is provided in a channel 15d of the door 13d.
  • a display device 17d according to the invention is arranged in a recess 14d on the front side of the door 13d.
  • a component carrier 19d of the display device 17d is not inserted firmly or flush into the recess 14d, but has a distance therefrom.
  • the component carrier 19d is held in that it forms a structural unit with the light guide body 24d or is glued to it or is otherwise mechanically connected to it.
  • the light guide body 24d is connected with its front side to a disk 35d and at the rear side thereof, so that a structural unit is formed overall.
  • This disk 35d is fixed in a recess 32d in the panel 30d, for example glued. This takes place without a joint and flush with the surface of the panel 30d, so that a film 40d can once again be glued on as a lamination very easily.
  • a capacitive sensor element 28d is also attached here on the front side of the light guide body 24d, as has been explained above as an advantageous possibility.
  • the capacitive sensor element 28d is advantageously arranged over a large area or particularly advantageously over the entire area on the front side of the light guide body 24d, preferably in accordance with the aforementioned WO 2011/012501 A1 as a coating.
  • a large sensor element is thus provided. It is electrically contacted and connected to the component carrier 19d by an electrically conductive connection guided along the side of the light guide body 24d, for example also by a side coating, in particular also to a control and evaluation, as is known from the cited prior art and here is easy to implement. For this reason, a more detailed representation can be dispensed with.
  • the lamination 40d By placing a finger on the lamination 40d in front of the capacitive sensor element 28d, operation takes place through this and through the disk 35d in the usual way.
  • the lamination should therefore be designed in such a way that this is possible.
  • the position of the capacitive sensor element 28d or a touch switch formed thereby can be conveyed by the illuminated display.
  • the above-described function of a proximity switch can also be implemented in this way, namely it can recognize whether a finger is approaching less than 10 cm or 5 cm, for example.
  • the illuminated display 18d which was previously completely or partially deactivated, can first be activated via a corresponding control.
  • the capacitive sensor element 28d turns the display device 17d into an operating device with an illuminated display and at least one operating element for an operator, that is to say with input and output.
  • a dishwasher could as an electrical device by placing the finger on a flashing light display 18d, which indicates the end of a washing process, can be switched off without having to open the door 13.
  • a disk 35d is also provided for the display device 17d, which, however, corresponds to the light guide body 24 in the embodiments of FIG Figs. 2 and 3 is let into the panel 30 flush with the surface.
  • the disk 35d can be quite thick and mechanically stable. Furthermore, it has the advantage that by forming a structural unit together with the light guide body 24d and the component carrier 19d, a certain flexibility in the arrangement or placement is possible, since no fastening is provided directly in the door 13d and the aforementioned recess 14d also allows sufficient leeway.
  • Fig. 5 it can also be seen that the usual LEDs 22d are again provided on a front side of the component carrier 19d, but also other electrical components, for example for controlling this LED 22d and / or the capacitive sensor element 28d. Sufficient space is provided here due to the somewhat larger recess 14d.
  • a disk 35d can also consist of plastic, for example acrylic glass, and have a thickness of 2 mm to 5 mm or even more. It is stable enough not to be depressed in the area of the display device 17d.
