Embodiment
Hereinafter will be with reference to the accompanying drawings 2 to 5 preferred embodiments of describing the functional module of operations according to the instant invention equipment in further detail.At this, accompanying drawing 2 and 5 each all represent the skeleton view of whole functional module, and accompanying drawing 3 and 4 various piece of presentation function module in further detail.
Especially, allomeric function module 22 has the support 18 that is made of hard part.As shown in accompanying drawing 4A and 4B, support 18 has a plurality of opening 27 and a plurality of openings 28 that are used for optical display element 17 that are used for mechanical executive component 16.Mechanical executive component 16 that be made of at least a soft parts, corresponding and optical display element 17 are set in those openings 27,28.
In the present embodiment, functional module 22 comprises the optical display element 17 of mechanical executive component 16, the seven joint display forms of six pushbutton switch forms altogether, five operations are display format and the optical display element 17 of optical display element 17 that be associated with each pushbutton switch 16 respectively and three functions or symbol display format.Yet, will recognize that the present invention is not only limited to specific embodiment as an example.Especially, according to the present invention, in the operating equipment 10 of household electrical appliance, can use following functional module 22: have the mechanical executive component 16 of varying number and/or layout functional module, have the functional module of the optical display element 17 of varying number and/or layout, only have the functional module of mechanical executive component 16, only have optical display element 17 functional module, have the mechanical executive component 16 of variety classes and/or size functional module, have the functional module etc. of the optical display element 17 of variety classes and/or size.
Preferably, only soft parts both had been used to the mechanical executive component 16 of functional module 22, also were used to the optical display element 17 of functional module 22, because simplify and reduced manufacturing cost like that.For this reason, between the light conductive property of soft parts and mechanical attributes, must make compromise.But, according to the present invention, can use the soft parts of a plurality of differences and a plurality of different hardness parts equally, this has improved production cost undeniablely, but this allows the optimal-adaptive of more than 22 functional area of functional module on the other hand.
Can be in simple mode, in the injection molding operation, realize having the different variants of the functional module 22 of different optical display element 17 and mechanical executive component 16 by means of the interchangeable embolus in the Variable Area.
As long as only soft parts are used to the difference in functionality parts of functional module 22 in each case, preferably only one separately the insertion point can be used to three optical display element 17 of upper right portion in the accompanying drawing 2 and be used for five be mutually related pushbutton switch 16 and light conduction 17 (seeing accompanying drawing 3).
The hard part that is used for support 18 is preferably the casing plastic material, for example ABS, PA, PA66, PBT, PCABS or the like.The soft parts that are used for mechanical executive component 16 and optical display element 17 are for example based on the thermoplastic elastomer or the thermosetting ameripol such as the self-adhesion liquid silicone resin with the platinum catalyst (platinumcatalyst) that is used for complete cure (full vulcanisation) (self-adhering liquid silicone) of tygon (polyethylene), polyurethane (polyurethane), polypropylene (polypropylene) etc.
For the ease of assembling function module 22, for example on the side of functional module, have many locking hook (latching hook) 24 away from the user, as shown in Figure 5, these lockings hook can with the respective openings interlock on the casing (not shown) of the electronic unit of operating equipment 10.Locking hook 24 is preferably made by hard part and is whole with 18 one-tenth on the support of functional module 22.
For the support 18 of functional module 22, can expect that also construct first housing part, it is connected to second housing part that comprises hard part by thin slice folding (film hinge) (preferably including soft parts).After the circuit board 12 with electric operation, switch and/or display element 14 was installed in second housing part, functional module 22 can be used as lid and is installed on second housing part, so the electronic unit of operating equipment 10 is integrated in the casing.Circuit board 12 is for example by being connected to the control module of household electrical appliance with the suitable connector ways of connecting of second housing part.Two housing parts and thin slice folding are preferably by unitary, injection-molded.
Also as shown in accompanying drawing 5, functional module 22 also can be used for the electric parts of seal operation equipment 10, especially with respect to fluid at its place, side configuration packoff 30 away from the user.By the configuration of functional module 22 according to the present invention, packoff 30 also can be made by soft parts, also provides with functional module 22 integral body.
Although not expression, but the allomeric function module 22 of operations according to the instant invention equipment 10 can further comprise at least one damping or buffer element, be used for providing especially the adjacent component of functional module 22 with respect to operating equipment 10, such as decoration panel 20 or electronic unit casing, mechanical shock absorption.This damper element preferably also is made of soft parts, also with functional module 22 integral production.
Packoff 30 and damper element also can be by making than mechanical executive component 16 and optical display element 17 more soft soft parts.
The mechanical executive component 16 of functional module 22 also can be equipped with decoction cap in the side towards the user.Those decoction caps preferably are made of hard part, and therefore if desired, they advantageously also can be made with functional module 22 integral body.
In addition, operating equipment 10 is equipped with decoration panel 20 facing usually on user's the side, and decoration panel 20 comprises the mechanical executive component 16 that is used for operating equipment 10 and the suitable opening of optical display element 17.Under the situation of operations according to the instant invention equipment 10, Art Design may be equipped with for the side of allomeric function module 22, towards the user, make decoration panel in this zone, to be omitted and only must have the framework that has a big opening.For operating equipment 10, such structure is especially possible, because by means of the suitable selection of material components, functional module 22 also can have fabulous insulation (insulating) performance.This structure that is used for operating equipment 10 has been disclosed at DE 102 58563 B3 that authorize the applicant in a similar manner.
In sum, the characteristics of operating equipment 10 of the present invention are allomeric function module 22, the allomeric function module can be come a plurality of component parts and the function of combination operation equipment by support, such as for example optical display element, mechanical executive component, packoff, damper element etc.Because global facility, linkage editor is compared with the traditional operation equipment with a plurality of independent component elements and has fully been simplified.
