In the ordinary mode, as each operating portion and display part 50 and each display part 60 of display part with the first brightness or Second brightness two states are shown.That is, to each operating portion and display part 50 and each display part 60, control device 20 is bright with first The current not selected and selectable setting content of degree display, the currently selected setting content selected is shown with the second brightness.Thus, To each operating portion and display part 50 and each display part 60, control device 20 distinctly display for represent it is current not selected and can First display of the setting content of selection, and for representing the second display of the currently selected setting content selected.

Specifically, when user setting operation content when, control device 20 guide user according to the first grading group 51, Second grading group 52, the order of the 3rd grading group 53 are operated.The guiding in each operating procedure suitably to show necessary The mode of operating portion and display part 50 and display part 60 is carried out.In addition, when the power is turned on, control device 20 is aobvious according to preparing Show, the order of common display switches display operating panel 30.

I.e., first, as shown in figure 11, can only on the surface of decoration panel 31 when washing machine 10 is not switched on power supply Power on button 311 and power-off button 312 are seen, and switching does not have any display in viewing area 40.Work as user During operation power push button 311, washing machine 10 switches on power.So, control device 20 lights all light with the second brightness Source 36 temporarily shows all operating portions and display part 50 and display in switching viewing area 40 to be shown as preparation Portion 60.Now, humidity environment in order to accord with surrounding etc., carries out the amendment of the detected value of each test section 341, that is, calibrates.And And, now, without the detection of the touch operation by test section 341.

Control device 20 with the second brightness show all operating portion and display part 50 and display part 60 1 to the several seconds with Afterwards, unwanted light source 36, and the operation content carried out as common display, display last time are extinguished.For example, when last time is carried out Operation content when being " washing drying " operation " standard " process, be shown as the state shown in Figure 16.That is, in decorative panel 31 On, make " washing drying " button 512 of the first grading group 51 of the currently selected setting content selected, the second grading group 52 each Button 521~525, " standard " button 551 of the 3rd grading group 53 are shown with the second brightness of high brightness, with aobvious in second Show.Also, now, due to the button beyond " washing drying " button 512 in the first grading group 51, i.e. " drying " button 511, " washing " button 513, " degerming deodorization " button 514 are current not selected and selectable buttons, therefore with the of low-light level One brightness is shown, with the first display.

Thus, the dispaly state of the display part 50,60 after power on of the user by observing washing machine 10, Neng Gourong Change places and find that the failure of guidance panel 30 or the electric light of light source 36 burn out state etc..

In addition, control device 20 can also be formed as, when energized, according to preparation display, display at initial stage, commonly show The order switching display operating panel 30 shown.For example, now, when user's operation power push button 311, washing machine 10 Power on.So, as shown in figure 12, as preparing to show, control device 20 is shown with the first brightness belongs to upper classification The first grading group 51 button 511~514 in classification display portion corresponding with the currently selected setting content selected, meanwhile, use First brightness shows the display part 571 and " startup/pause " button 58 of driver plate 57.In present embodiment, due to power on Operation is dried in selection washing afterwards, and therefore, " washing drying " button 512, the display part 571 of driver plate 57 and " startup/pause " are pressed Button 58 is shown with the first brightness.Now, humidity environment in order to accord with surrounding etc., carries out the detected value of each test section 341 Amendment, that is, calibrate.Also, now, without the detection of the touch operation by test section 341.

Control device 20 is proceeded by by owning that test section 341 is carried out after display prepares display, calibrated Touch operation detection.In display is prepared, when meeting defined condition, control device 20 improves the brightness for preparing display To show that initial stage shows.Now, for example, when after power on by the defined time, or as shown in figure 13, user is worked as Finger touching operation operating portion and display part 50 certain when, control device 20 is judged as meeting the bar of display display at initial stage Part, and then enter dispaly state at initial stage.In addition, control device 20 can also be shown without exception not after power on as preparation It has been shown that, and display part is calibrated with non-display state, afterwards, when meeting above-mentioned rated condition, display shows initial stage Show.

The content of display at initial stage is based on the operation content set in advance in the production stage of product.Now, show in the early stage In showing, control device 20 at least shows corresponding with the currently selected setting content selected in the classification display portion for belonging to upper classification Classification display portion and " startup/pause " button 58, the classification display portion correspondence exists.Now, as shown in figure 14, control unit 20 Show in the classification display portion for belonging to the first grading group 51 being classified as upper that correspondence is currently selected with the second brightness to select Button 512, the display part 571 of driver plate 57 and " startup/temporary transient " button 58 are dried in the washing of setting content.

Also, control unit 20 shows the table in the 3rd classification B groups 55 beyond the classification as upper with the second brightness Show that " standard " button 551 of operation process content is dried in the currently selected relevant washing selected.In addition, control device 20 is with less than washing The first brightness for washing the dry brightness of button 512 shows the classification display portion for the first grading group 51 for belonging to the classification as upper In current not selected and exercisable classification display portion, i.e. drying button 511, wash button 513 in this and degerming Deodorization button 514.

In this way, being distinctly displayed on decorative panel for representing that the first of current not selected and selectable setting content shows Show and for representing that the second of the currently selected setting content selected shows.That is, currently selected select is distinctly displayed on decorative panel 31 Setting and selection candidate.Now, in showing in the early stage, control device 20 does not show first point for belonging to and being classified as upper Display part beyond the level button 511~514 of group 51, the display part 517 of driver plate 57 and " startup/pause " button 58.

When showing that the initial stage shown in Figure 14 shows, control device 20 has completed the required preparation that brings into operation.It is first at this In phase display, after display display at initial stage, when being initially detected " startup/pause " button 58 by touch operation, control dress The 20 operation contents for directly starting currently to show are put, i.e., operation is dried in the washing in this.On the other hand, as shown in figure 15, show Show after display at initial stage, when the button being initially detected beyond " startup/pause " button 58 is by touch operation, set to change Determine content, show common display as shown in figure 16.In common display, control device 20 shows the first grading group 51 or current Selected process display part, the display part beyond " standard " button 551 i.e. in this about running, and show currently The display part of detailed, the current selectable operation content of selected operation content.Thus, user is able to confirm that currently quilt The setting content of selection it is detailed, and setting content can be changed.

When showing common display, in the operation of the second grading group 52, as shown in figure 17, when the finger of user touches behaviour When making " process change/individual menu " button 525, as shown in figure 18, control device 20 will belong to selected second grading group It is currently selected in selectable button, i.e. this example in the 3rd classification B groups 55 of 52 " process change/individual menu " button 525 " standard " button 551 selected shows as the second display with the second brightness, and by other the Save and Load buttons 552, " strong water Stream " button 553 and other buttons 554~558 are shown as the first display with the first brightness.Afterwards, as shown in figure 19, When user's touch operation selects " strong current " button 553, control device 20 determines " strong current " process, and such as Figure 20 institutes Show, in order that " strong current " button 553 enters the second dispaly state, changed and shown with the second brightness, meanwhile, in order that " standard " The others candidate such as button 551, the Save and Load button 552 shows access into the first dispaly state, is shown with the first brightness.

Afterwards, user to " strong current " process of selection in order to carry out more detailed setting, as shown in figure 21, touch Operate " drying " button 524 in the second grading group 52.So, as shown in figure 22, control device is shown in setting display part 61 " drying " of " strong current " process run selectable display part, i.e., " drying automatically " display part 612 in this, " flatiron " Display part 614, " degerming drying " display part 615, " high-quality drying " display part 616.Wherein, control device 20 first will be in behaviour Make " drying automatic " display part 612 selected during " drying " button 524, as the second display, to be shown with the second brightness.It is another Aspect, control device 20 will show in nonoptional " flatiron " display part 614, " degerming drying " when operating " drying " button 524 Show that portion 615, " high-quality drying " display part 616, as the first display, are shown with the first brightness.

Afterwards, when touch operation " drying " button 524 is repeated several times in user, as shown in Figure 23, Figure 24, Figure 25, according to It is secondary to switch the detailed of the currently selected operation content selected, and with the switching, to as the second display and aobvious with the second brightness The display part 614,615,615 shown is also switched over.Afterwards, as shown in figure 26, " high-quality drying " display part 616 is used as second Display is shown with the second brightness, other to show the states shown with the first brightness as first without selected display part Under, when user's touch operation " startup/pause " button 58, control device determines whole operation contents.Moreover, such as Figure 27 It is shown, on whole operation panel 30, the display part shown with the second brightness is left behind, and extinguish other displays, and open Operation is dried in the washing for beginning to set.

In the operation of washing machine 10, as shown in figure 27, because " process change/individual menu " button 525 is in non-show Show state, therefore can not carry out running the setting change of content.On the other hand, in the operation of washing machine 10, when user touches When touching operation " startup/pause " button 58, operation pause.In addition, as shown in figure 26, " process change/individual menu " button 525 Shown as the second display with the second brightness, thus can set change operation content.

After operation starts, when the state that the person of being not used operates continues specified time limit, control device 20 makes operation Panel 30 is in holding state.In the holding state, control device 20 extinguish light source 36, make operating portion and display part 50 and Display part 60 is in non-display state.Thus, the possibility operated due to user is relatively low, therefore, it is possible to reduce operating surface The stand-by electric of plate 30.

To should holding state, control device 20 detects that user's is close with test section 341.Also, when standby Detected in state user it is close when, control device 20 makes detection/display circuit 321 act to put bright light source 36 again, And necessary display is carried out by this action, guidance panel 30 is in exercisable state.

That is, when guidance panel 30 is not holding state, but during commonly used state, control device 20 is detected to multiple Each touch operation that test section 341 is carried out.On the other hand, when guidance panel 30 is in holding state, control device 20 will Multiple test sections 341 are overall to regard a sensor as, and the change of the electrostatic capacitance of multiple test sections 341 is averaged Detected after change processing.Thereby, it is possible to improve the detection sensitivity of test section 341, also, control device 20 being capable of detecting distance behaviour Make the presence of the user of the certain position of panel 30.Now, by user close to or cover with hand the dynamic of guidance panel 30 Make, control device 20 detects the presence of user.Moreover, when detect user it is close when, control device 20 release operating surface The holding state of plate 30, so that guidance panel 30, which is in, can carry out the state of general operation.

In addition, washing machine 10 can also be configured to, with other families such as internet or PC, refrigerator, air-conditioning, TV It is communicatively coupled with equipment, so as to construct home network.At this time it is also possible to the display part 571 of driver plate 57 is used as aobvious Show the structure of the connection status of the network.For example, when washing machine 10 is not attached to network, display part 571 is in non-display shape State.In addition, when washing machine 10 is attempted with network connection, as described above, the bright light display portion of display part 571 is with towards periphery side Shown to mode in rotary moving.In addition, when establishing the connection of washing machine 10 and network, display display part 571 is overall.

Further, can also be by the change or flicker of the tone for combining display part 571, the network of display washing machine 10 connects Connect state.For example, when washing machine 10 is not attached to network, with red display display part 571, when attempting with network connection, Display part 571 is shown with the mode of green flicker, when the connection with establishing network, display part 571 is shown with green.

Secondly, pattern model is illustrated.In the pattern model, as each operating portion and display part 50 of display with And display part 60 is shown with the second brightness or the 3rd brightness two states.That is, to each operating portion and display part 50 and display part 60, control device 20 shows current not selected and selectable setting content with the second brightness, is shown currently with the 3rd brightness Selected setting content.Therefore, compared with general mode, each operating portion and display part 50 and display part of pattern model 60 is brighter.

Thus, in the display at initial stage that can be brought into operation, belong in the display part to showing the currently selected operation content selected In upper display part and be the currently selected display part selected, and " startup/pause " button 58 is shown.Now, Because the display for entering user's sight is few, therefore numerous and diverse sensation will not be brought to user, thus, it is possible to improve operating surface The design of the display at initial stage of plate 30.In addition, in showing in the early stage, because the information content for entering user's sight is few, therefore making User can interpolate that currently selected operation content at a glance.Further, since the quantity of the exercisable button of display is few, therefore make User can recognize " startup/pause " button 58 at a glance.As a result, intuitive operation can be carried out to guidance panel 30, so as to carry High operability.

In showing in the early stage, control unit 20 is shown, for showing multiple process display parts about operation process content The process display part about the currently selected operation content selected is represented in 551~561.That is, in the early stage under dispaly state, when washing Wash when drying selection standard process in operation, control device 20 is shown, belong to the multiple buttons 551 of the 3rd classification B groups 55~ " standard " button 551 of the currently selected process content selected is represented in 561.Thus, user will not be by numerous and diverse impression, energy Enough contents for grasping operation process at a glance.So, show that operation starts the content of required minimum limit on guidance panel 30, from And design can be not only improved, it can also realize and intuitively operate, and can further improve operability.

In addition, in the display at initial stage of operable guidance panel 30 or common display, it is simultaneous to the operating portion of guidance panel 30 Display part 50 and display part 60, control device 20, which distinguishes display, to be used to represent current not selected and selectable setting content First display and for represent the currently selected setting content selected second display.Then, because user is in operating surface Current exercisable button is can interpolate that on plate 30 at a glance, therefore can intuitively be operated.

Now, control device 20 shows the second display with the brightness higher than the first display.Therefore, user is in operating surface It can more clearly be distinguished on plate 30 and judge which kind of setting and which kind of current operable button currently carried out.

In addition, to be mainly used in each operating portion and display part 50 as operating portion change operation setting by Button, is divided into multiple classifications according to its setting content, now, is divided into the first grading group 51, the second grading group 52 and the 3rd classification Group 53.Also, belong to each button of each grading group 51~53, form is shown according to unified its of each grading group 51~53.And And, the button for belonging to each grading group 51~53 is configured to, according to the first grading group 51, the second grading group for forming operation order 52nd, the order of the 3rd grading group 53, its shape is tapered into.Therefore, when carrying out the setting about running, as long as user presses Order according to big button to small button is operated successively, so as to more intuitively be operated.

Typically, the humidity environment of the test section 341 of electrostatic capacitive in order to accord with surrounding etc., whenever connection washing machine 10 During power supply, the calibration of each test section 341 is carried out.When carrying out the calibration, with power on state independently, control device 20 The touch operation to guidance panel 30 can not be detected.Therefore, after the power supply of washing machine 10 is connected, control device 20 is to guidance panel 30, be used as preparing display the first brightness show as defined in after display part, make to be in can detected portion 341 detect and use The state of the touch operation of person.Also, control device 20 carries out the calibration of test section 341 during display prepares display.

So, due to being clearly distinguishable from common use state as the state for preparing to show and shown with the first brightness, Although therefore power on will not be brought to user but the incongruity of guidance panel 30 can not be operated, and test section can be carried out 341 calibration.

When the touch operation to operating portion and the progress of display part 50 is detected when display is shown initial stage, control device 20 On the operating portion and display part 50 of the currently selected setting content selected of correspondence, point of the classification belonged to beyond upper is displayed that Level display part 52,53 is to be used as common display.So, can be easy when user wants content that confirmation is currently set etc. Ground confirms the details of current setting content.

Control device 20 as show after power on to the preparation before display at display initial stage, by display part and " startup/ Pause " button 58 is shown with non-display state or with the brightness shown less than initial stage.So, user can appreciate that at a glance The operation of guidance panel can not be carried out during display prepares display.Thereby, it is possible to improve the operability of guidance panel 30.

In addition, when the state that the person of being not used operates continues specified time limit, control device 20, which extinguishes light source 36, makes behaviour Make panel 30 and be in holding state.Also, when control panel 20 detects the proximity state of user in holding state, make inspection Survey/display circuit 321 works, to put bright light source 36 again, so as to perform necessary display, is in guidance panel 30 operable State.Thereby, it is possible to reduce the consumption electric power of guidance panel 30.

Also, control device 20 for detecting the test section 341 of the operation to guidance panel 30 by detecting user Proximity state.Thus, other sensors of proximity state without being separately provided for detecting user etc..

In addition, washing machine 10 is on guidance panel 30, not only possesses the washing machine 10 set general in actual use Logical pattern, and it is also equipped with the washing machine 10 pattern model set when StoreFront of store etc. is shown.Due in sale Shop, in order that commodity are more aobvious more attractive in appearance than the general family of actual use, and makes the illumination of surrounding become clear, therefore in pattern model In, display part 50,60 is shown with the brightness higher than general mode.So, such as washing machine 10 is when StoreFront is demonstrated, even if Surrounding is bright environment, can also clearly display the display part 50,60 of guidance panel 30.

In addition, each operating portion and display part 50, setting display part 61 and state display part 63 with the color of white color system come It has been shown that, and note display part 64 and then shown with the color of the warm colour such as red or orange.Thus, the energy of display part 64 is noted It is enough more to highlight its display content, as a result, can more efficiently cause the attention of user.

Second embodiment

Hereinafter, reference picture 30 illustrates the washing machine of second embodiment.And for the structure of washing machine, with first Embodiment is almost identical, therefore, 1~Figure 29 of reference picture, omits detail explanation.

In present embodiment, the guidance panel 30 of the washing machine 10 shown in Fig. 1 has decorative panel 31.Decorative panel 31 is arranged on The face side of guidance panel 30.Such as the explanation in first embodiment, decorative panel 31 is overall to have light-proofness, and another aspect is right Should the part such as word of setting there is translucency.Decorative panel 31, its surface is the surface quilt and washing machine body of decorative panel 31 11 with colour system white color system coating coat.In addition, the surface of guidance panel 30 does not have concavo-convex and almost smooth, and be formed as meeting The curve form of the shaped upper part of washing machine 10.

As shown in figure 4, guidance panel 30 has the light source 36 equivalent to white light source.Light source 36 is arranged on decoration panel 31 Dorsal part.Light source 36 is made up of White LED, and irradiates the light of white color system.That is, as shown in fig. 6, the washing machine of present embodiment 10 have operating portion and display part 50, and the operating portion and display part show setting on guidance panel 30 with the word of white color system Project etc..Now, operating portion and display part 50 are equivalent to white displays portion.In addition, decorative panel 31 can also be entered on its surface The state of the designs such as row hairline processing.

Due to possessing this structure, the surrounding of the guidance panel 30 of the washing machine 10 of present embodiment is configured to flat Face, and can present in setting word seemingly on float over the effect on its surface.So, the operating portion of the word of white color system is simultaneous Display part 50 seemingly magical ground float over white color system background guidance panel 30 surface, so as to further improve design Property.

Because operating portion and display part 50 are used to notify operation content to user, therefore it is required that easily depending on recognizing in its operation Hold.But, when showing the word or mark of white color system on the guidance panel 30 in white color system, background and the contrast of word etc. Reduction, and in order to easily depending on recognizing word etc., then need the brightness of raising light source 36.On the other hand, if improving the bright of light source 36 Degree, causes power consumption to increase.Particularly, such as the washing machine 10 of embodiment, speech is changed in the setting enriched to related operation It, when the quantity of light source 36 is more, the electric power consumed is also more.

Therefore, the washing machine 10 of present embodiment attempts power reducing is accomplished by the following way.

As shown in figure 30, display part bright light (S2) is made when (S1) when washing machine 10 switches on power.More specifically, lighting Startup/pause button 58, driver plate 57 and display part 571 in respective operations portion and display part 50 are classified as upper The light source 36 of first grading group 51 (reference picture 7).Also, identically with first embodiment, can by selected operation, The washing of setting content when corresponding to last time operation dries button 512 and lights up the brightness that brightness is higher than other buttons, or, The second grading group 52 (reference picture 7) or the 3rd grading group 53 (reference picture 7) etc. can also together be lighted.In addition it is also possible to light Operating button of the correspondence included in selection.

Then, judgement is the startup/pause button 58 (S3) for operating washing machine 10, still operates some to set button, i.e., Button (S6) beyond startup/pause button 58.Also, step S6 is comprising touch operation as shown in Figure 15 of first embodiment Switching viewing area 40 process.

(the S6 when operating some setting button：It is), washing machine 10 updates corresponding setting.And when operation start/temporarily Stop (the S3 of button 58：It is) when, washing machine 10 extinguishes display part (S4), and starts to perform selected operation (S5).

In this way, washing machine 10 extinguishes light source 36 after the operation of setting starts operation.This is because, operation is once opened Begin, user will leave washing machine 10, therefore the necessity reduction shown always.So, in setting word etc. can be made clear Show clearly, and enter the light modulation of horizontal blanking light source 36 after operation starts, so as to reduce power consumption.Washed thereby, it is possible to realize The power reducing of clothing machine 10.

The washing machine 10 of present embodiment described above, related setting content white light source will be run due to possessing Light be shown as white multiple white displays portions, and to should white displays portion face side be white color system operating surface Plate, therefore seemingly magical ground floats over the background of white color system to the word of white color system, so as to further improve design.

Further, since extinguishing light source 36 in the stipulated time after operation starts, therefore, it is possible to realize power reducing.In addition, In present embodiment, the stipulated time is set as 0 second.

Further, since the surface of guidance panel 30 does not have such as conventional almost concavo-convex structure, therefore for being stained with water Or for the high washing machine 10 of possibility of detergent, can easily be cleaned.

Alternatively, it is also possible to not extinguish light source 36, but by its brightness settings into state during less than setting operation.So, The power consumption of White LED can be reduced, so as to realize power reducing.

Further, it can also be turned off the light or reduced after operation startup/pause button 58 after the defined time Brightness etc. is dimmed.Specified time limit can be set as, and such as operation starts the time that rear user is able to confirm that setting content, for example For tens of seconds.Also, can also be in operation startup/pause button 58, weight is determined etc. after detergent amount show and terminate, in confession Water simultaneously or thereafter, i.e. Actual laundering operation start after extinguish or reduction brightness.

At this point it is possible to consider to dim at least a portion light source 36.For example, it is also possible to only light the bag of corresponding selection It is contained in the light source 36 of operating project, and it is (corresponding for example, when selection " washing drying " operation to extinguish other light sources 36 " drying " button 512, " washing " button 513, the light source 36 of " degerming deodorization " grade of button 514), so as to realize power reducing.

In addition it is also possible to set light source 36 of the time display included in stroke (for example, " washing " as shown in figure 16 is pressed Button 521, " rinsing " button 522, " dehydration " button 523, " drying " button 524), used after operation starts higher than other buttons Brightness (brightness when still, less than setting) display " washing " button 521, and it is aobvious according to process to carry out change of circumstance high brightness Show button, or the light source 36 of button that extinguishing process terminates.In such manner, it is possible to power reducing is realized, and also can be to user Report.

The structures such as the button shown in present embodiment are only an example, and the present invention is not limited to this.For example or set The power knob constituted with mechanical switch is put, after the power knob is operated, each described button of display, i.e. light Light source 36.So, can be zero without using stand-by electric during washing machine 10, so as to further save electric power.

The processing of brightness adjustment control as shown in figure 30, can also be applied to the washing machine 10 of first embodiment.For example may be used To consider, the 3rd brightness of the first brightness and the second brightness when being set lower than setting uses the such as the 3rd after operation starts Brightness is shown, in the stroke carried out before end of run, and current stroke is shown with the 3rd brightness, and with the of more low-light level Four brightness show other strokes etc..In addition, when change is set in the step s 7, relatively improving bright by the button to selection Degree, and brightness (or turning off the light) etc. is relatively reduced to non-selected button, so as to reduce power consumption.

Other embodiment

In the above-described embodiment, when preparing display, control device 20 shows the display part of driver plate 57 with the first brightness 571 and " startup/pause " button 58, but it is not limited to this.For example, Figure 28 (a)~(c) shown in, can also by according to The lighting lamp state of the light source 36 of the display part 571 of secondary switching correspondence driver plate 57, is shown as the display part 571 of driver plate 57 and seemingly exists Rotation.

In the above-described embodiment, the content of display at initial stage is based in the operation set in advance of the production phase of product Hold, but be not limited to this.For example, " rest " process of " washing drying " operation is performed in being run in last time, and it is additional Being set as of water level in setting " in ", if using being set as of water for bathing " when rinsing 1 " and " washing ", as shown in figure 29, Control device 20 can be made to store the operation content set in the operation of last time and the content of additional setting, and shown with initial stage Display.So, because user need not carry out adding setting etc., therefore the trouble for the person of eliminating the need in each run, it is tied Really, it is possible to increase the operability of guidance panel 30.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, to the dispaly state of each display part 56,60, passing through the different bright of light source 36 Degree shows to distinguish the display of display first and second, but is not limited to this.For example, display can be distinguished by different tones First display and the second display.Now, for example, when with first display to show when, can make light source 36 with white color light emitting with As the first tone, when with the second display to show, make light source 36 with the color beyond white, lighted such as green, with It is used as the second tone.I.e., it is possible to which the first brightness in above-mentioned embodiment is replaced with into the first tone, the second brightness is replaced with Second tone.

In addition, washing machine 10 can not possess functions/drying, and it can be upright type washing machine.In addition, test section 341 is simultaneously Non-limiting for example can also be piezoelectric type in electrostatic capacitive, further or infrared mode or ultrasonic wave mode Deng.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment, using the 3rd grading group 53 as operating portion and the button of display part, and user By each button of the grading group 53 of touch operation the 3rd, to directly select operation process, but this is not limited to.For example, not The 3rd grading group 53 can only be directly selected in the above described manner, can also be by the grading group 53 of user's touch operation the 3rd beyond Button, a display part for selecting content will be indicated in each display part of the 3rd grading group 53 as the second display, with the Two brightness are shown.Thus, in the operation process of each display part of the 3rd grading group 53 expression can also be selected to exist from expression Arbitrary operation process on one display part.

Now, for example, by the rotation touch operation to driver plate 57, moving the second brightness in the display part 571 of driver plate 57 Partial display, and each aobvious of the 3rd grading group 53 is switched in linkage, successively with the movement of the display of second luminance part Show the display part shown in portion as the second display with the second brightness.Thus, user is by rotating touch operation driver plate 57, desired operation process can be selected from the 3rd grading group 53.Similarly, when touch operation " process change/indivedual dishes During list " button 525, one shown in each display part of the 3rd grading group 53 as the second display with the second brightness is switched in successively Individual display part.Thus, user can also be by being repeated several times touch operation " process change/individual menu " button 525, from Desired operation process is selected in three grading groups 53.Due to this mode, for user, increase in operation process The change of operation is changed, operation process can be selected with the operating method of oneself is met, so as to be easier to use.Certainly, The change of the operation can be separately formed or be made up of multiple combinations.

In addition, guidance panel 30 is laid equal stress on by the proximity state of the detection user in the holding state that light source 36 extinguishes New point bright light source 36, to release holding state, but is not limited to this.For example, it is also possible to set be exclusively used in lighting again " to return Position button ", and should " home button ", the holding state of releasing guidance panel 30, so as to put bright light source again by touch operation 36.Now, such as " home button " lights display when standby in guidance panel 30, or is shown when being printed on decorative panel 31 often Deng.

Further, when time for being shown in state display part 63 calibrate etc. usually without special operation When, can be by pressing specific button while connecting washing machine if possessing the conventional structure of mechanicalness button The mode of 10 power supply, goes to the special patterns such as time calibration to complete operation.But, in the above-described embodiment, operating surface Plate 30 does not have the button that can be operated before the power on of washing machine 10.Therefore, in the above-described embodiment, by using Exercisable multiple buttons before defined order operation power is connected, such as the first grading group 51, the second grading group 52, the 3rd point Specific button in each button of level group 53, or pressing specific button, or combination operation these steps for a long time, so that Above-mentioned AD HOC can be gone to complete operation.

More than, the control unit of the washing machine of embodiment, distinguished in display part display represent it is current not selected and First display of selectable setting content and the second display for representing the currently selected setting content selected.So, due to making User can judge the current setting state and current exercisable button of washing machine at a glance, therefore can intuitively be grasped Make.
