Disclosure of Invention
The object of the present invention is to provide a laundry care appliance having an illumination element which illuminates the flushing-in housing.
According to one aspect, the object is achieved according to the invention by a laundry care appliance having an immersion housing for receiving a washing agent and an illumination element for illuminating the immersion housing, wherein the illumination element comprises a light receiving region and a light output region, wherein the light receiving region and the light output region are connected in a light-conducting manner, wherein the light receiving region is designed for receiving light from an outer region of the laundry care appliance, wherein the light output region is designed for outputting the received light to the immersion housing.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the illumination element ensures an effective illumination of the punch-through housing, wherein the illumination element does not comprise an internal light source and an electrical energy supply for driving the illumination device. The light for illumination is received only from the outer region of the laundry care appliance via the illumination element.
Laundry care appliances are mostly arranged inside buildings, for example in washing rooms. In order to enable the user to also insert detergent into the rinsing housing with reduced external illumination, conventional laundry care appliances may comprise an illumination device for illuminating the rinsing housing. Conventional lighting devices generate light by electrical energy and thus rely on electrical energy supply means to ensure efficient lighting of the punch-in housing. The electrical energy supply means, such as an electrical cable or an electrically driven light source, is prone to damage, such as short circuits or corrosion, due to the presence of water flushed into the housing.
The illumination element according to the invention is designed as a light-conducting element and is furthermore designed to receive light from an outer region of the laundry care appliance via a light-receiving region. Thus, when the light reaches the location of the laundry care appliance through an opening, such as a window, the light-receiving region can receive natural light or diffuse light, for example, incident from the sun. The light receiving region may also receive light output by the indoor lighting device, for example, when a user enters the installation room and turns on the external light source. The lighting element can thus receive light independently of the laundry care appliance, in particular independently of the light source or the electrical power connection of the lighting device of the laundry care appliance. The reception of light by the light receiving area is ensured by illuminating the light transmissive material of the element.
The light receiving region is connected in a light-conducting manner to the light output region in order to conduct the received light from the light receiving region to the light output region in the illumination element. The light output region is configured to output the received light in turn. For this purpose, the light output region is arranged spatially close to the punch-in housing in order to output light to the punch-in housing and thereby illuminate the punch-in housing.
It is thereby achieved that the impingement shell is effectively illuminated by light from the outer region of the laundry care appliance, and the illumination element thus does not require an electrically driven light source and an electrical energy supply for driving the illumination.
By laundry care appliance is understood an appliance for laundry care, for example a washing machine or a washer-dryer. The laundry care appliance is to be understood as meaning in particular a household laundry care appliance. That is to say a laundry care appliance which is used in the household sector and by means of which laundry of the amount normally used in the household is treated.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illumination element comprises a light-collecting element made of light-collecting plastic.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the light-collecting element, which is made of light-collecting plastic, makes it possible to effectively illuminate the immersion housing by means of light from the outer region of the laundry care appliance.
Light-collecting plastics are described, for example, in DE 3723073. The light collecting element may comprise any geometric body having an outer face, wherein the light collecting plastic comprises a light-transmitting polymer having specific light guiding properties. The light impinges on the light collecting element from the outside and passes outside the light collecting element into the inside of the light collecting element. However, the incident light cannot pass through the same outer surface and is again output from the light collector element, since it is reflected in the light collector element by total reflection. The light reflected in the light collector element can only be output again from the interior of the light collector element on a defined outer surface of the light collector element, which is not totally reflected, for example on an edge of the light collector element. The light output from the light-collecting element can be used to illuminate the wash-in housing of the laundry care appliance.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illuminating element comprises a plastic, in particular polycarbonate, polyethylene, polyamide, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyl chloride and mixtures thereof, and a fluorescent dye, wherein the fluorescent dye is selected in particular from the group consisting of coumarin, perylene, benzanthrone, anthrapyrimidine, anthrapyridone and mixtures thereof.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that an efficient illumination element, in particular an efficient light collection element, is achieved by the selected plastic and fluorescent dye.
By using so-called plastic, a light, dimensionally stable, easily workable and cost-effective illumination element can be provided. Polypropylene has proven to be a particularly advantageous plastic, since polypropylene has advantageous stiffness, hardness and strength. The addition of a small amount of fluorescent dye does not hinder the properties of the plastic, but nevertheless has a favorable effect on the properties of the light guide, light collection and light output of the illuminating element and thus an effective illumination of the punch-in housing is achieved.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illumination element has a coating on the outer side of the illumination element, wherein the illumination element is designed to reflect light in said illumination element.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the illumination intensity of the light output from the light output region can be increased by illuminating the coating on the outside of the element. The coating on the outside of the lighting element is designed such that it passes the light entering the lighting element, but the light can no longer exit the lighting element through the same outer face, since the coating achieves an effective total reflection of the light received in the lighting element. Thereby, the non-directional output of the received light may be reduced and the illumination intensity of the light output area of the illumination element may be increased.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illumination element comprises a lens, wherein the lens is arranged on the light output region, wherein the lens is designed to focus or scatter the light output from the light output region.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the lens can either focus the light emerging from the light output region onto a defined region of the housing in order to illuminate said region particularly intensively, or can scatter the emerging light in order to illuminate as large an area of the housing as possible. The lens can be realized in particular by a plastic attachment piece which is arranged on the light output region and has a light refraction characteristic which is different from that of the light output region of the illumination element.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illuminating element is configured as a cuboid and has a cuboid top face, a cuboid bottom face and four cuboid side faces, wherein the cuboid top face comprises the light receiving region and wherein the cuboid side faces comprise the light output region.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that light can be output particularly efficiently by the cuboid-shaped configuration of the illumination element via the light output region. The configuration of the lighting element as a cuboid makes the production of the lighting element easy. When the illuminating element is arranged, for example, on the wash-in housing, a large part of the light from the outer region of the laundry care appliance strikes the cuboid top face, which comprises the light receiving region. Thereby, light is efficiently received through the top surface of the rectangular parallelepiped. However, the received light cannot exit through either the top or bottom of the cuboid due to total reflection, but only through the side of the cuboid that includes the light exit region, to ensure effective illumination of the impingement shell.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the cuboid top face is larger than the total area of the four cuboid sides.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that a particularly advantageous illumination of the punch-in housing is achieved by the difference between the total surface area of the cuboid top face and the four cuboid side faces. Since the amount of light received by the light receiving region and the amount of light output by the light output region are substantially the same, the light output by the side faces of the rectangular parallelepiped is intensified in the case where the extension of the top face of the rectangular parallelepiped is much larger than the side faces of the rectangular parallelepiped.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illuminating element is configured as a curved plate and has a plate top face, a plate bottom face and four plate side faces, wherein the plate top face comprises a light receiving region, wherein the four plate side faces comprise a light output region.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the illuminating element is realized by bending the plate, wherein the light receiving area and the light output area do not enclose an angle of 90 °, but are realized in various geometrical arrangements. The geometric shape of the laundry care appliance or the size of the plunge-into shell can thus be taken into account by means of the specific geometric configuration of the curved plate.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the light-receiving region is arranged in an inner region of the wash-in housing.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that by arranging the light-receiving region in the interior region of the punch-in housing, it is achieved that the punch-in housing is not illuminated when the punch-in housing is closed. When the flush-in housing is closed, the light receiving region is arranged in the inner region of the flush-in housing, and therefore light can neither reach the light receiving region of the illuminating element from the outside nor be output through the light output region. Thereby, the illumination of the punch-in housing is provided only when the user opens the punch-in housing and the light receiving area in the inner area of the punch-in housing is illuminated by light.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the light-receiving region is arranged on the outside of the laundry care appliance, in particular on the upper side of the laundry care appliance.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that by arranging the light-receiving region on the outside of the laundry care appliance it is ensured that the flushing housing is also illuminated effectively when the flushing housing is closed. The outer side of the laundry care appliance, in particular the upper side of the laundry care appliance, is illuminated by external light, so that the light receiving region can receive light which can in turn be output via the light output region to the flushing housing.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illuminating element is arranged on the front side of the wash-in housing, wherein in particular the light receiving region is arranged on the front side of the wash-in housing.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that by arranging the light-receiving region on the front side of the insertion housing it is ensured that the insertion housing is also illuminated when it is closed. The front side of the flush-in housing is illuminated by external light, so that the light receiving region can receive light which can be output to the flush-in housing via the light output region.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the light output region is arranged on the front side or on the upper side of the wash-in housing.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that, by positioning the light output region on the front side or on the upper side of the punch-in housing, different regions of the punch-in housing can be illuminated effectively by the light output region depending on the configuration of the punch-in housing.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the front side of the rinsing housing comprises a handle opening for interference into the rinsing housing, on which handle opening the light output region is arranged.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the effective illumination of the handle opening of the punch-in housing is achieved by positioning the light output region on the handle opening on the front side of the punch-in housing. In this way, the user can also see the handle opening with weak illumination in order to effectively grip into the handle opening and open the punch-in housing.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the illuminating element is connected to the push-in housing in a form-fitting, material-fitting or force-fitting manner.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the lighting element is effectively secured to the punch-in housing by means of a positive, material-fit or force-fit connection.
In an advantageous embodiment of the laundry care appliance, the immersion housing comprises a printed (typographisches) or graphic display element, wherein the light output region is designed to output light to the printed or graphic display element.
The technical advantage achieved thereby is that the illumination element can effectively illuminate a graphic display element, for example a company icon or a letterpress display element, for example a company name, which graphic display element and printed display element are arranged, for example, on the front side of the punch-in housing.

Detailed Description
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a conventional laundry care appliance 100, for example a washing machine. The laundry care appliance 100 comprises a rinsing housing 101 into which a detergent or other liquid substance can be injected. The laundry care appliance 100 comprises a door 103 for loading the laundry care appliance 100 with laundry. The outer region 104 of the laundry care appliance 100 is shown in fig. 1.
Fig. 2 shows a schematic view of a lighting element according to the invention. The illumination element 105 is cuboid-shaped and comprises a cuboid top face 107, a cuboid bottom face 109 and four cuboid side faces 111, wherein the cuboid bottom face 109 and two of the four cuboid side faces 111 are not shown in fig. 2.
The light receiving region 113 of the illuminating element 105 corresponds to the rectangular parallelepiped top face 107. The light output area 115 of the illuminating element 105 corresponds to the four rectangular parallelepiped sides 111.
When light is incident into the light receiving region 113 of the illuminating element 105, then the incident light 116 is received through the light receiving region 113 of the illuminating element 105 and conducted to the light output region 115 through the illuminating element 105. The received light is output again to the surroundings of the lighting element 105 via the light output regions 115 corresponding to the four cuboid sides 111. The output light 118 may be used for illumination purposes.
The light receiving action of the light receiving region 113 of the illuminating element 105 is based on total reflection of the rectangular parallelepiped top face 107 and the rectangular parallelepiped bottom face 109. The illumination element 105 prevents light entering the illumination element 105 from leaving through the cuboid top face 107 or the cuboid bottom face 109, since the light is almost completely reflected back. Since no total reflection can take place at the cuboid side 111, the collected light is output again at the cuboid side 111 from the illumination element 105 via the light output region 115. The conduction of the received light from the light receiving area 113 to the light output area 115 is achieved by the light guiding properties of the illuminating element 105, which is made of a light guiding material.
Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a punch-in housing with an illuminating element. Fig. 3(a) shows the closed wash-in housing 101 of the laundry care appliance 100. The flush-in housing 101 comprises a front side 117 with a handle opening 119, which can be grasped by a user in order to pull the flush-in housing 101 out of the laundry care appliance 100 and, if necessary, fill the flush-in housing 101 with detergent.
The illumination element 105 is arranged on the punch-in housing 101, wherein in the closed state only a light output region 115 of the illumination element 105 is visible, which is arranged on a front side 117 of the punch-in housing 101 and is shown in fig. 3 (a). Since the light receiving region 113 of the illuminating element 105 is arranged in the inner region of the flush-in housing 101 in the closed state of the flush-in housing 101, no light can reach the light receiving region 113 from outside the flush-in housing 101 and thus no light can be output to the surroundings of the flush-in housing 101 via the light output region 115 of the illuminating element 105. The light receiving region 113 is not shown in fig. 3 (a).
Fig. 3(b) shows the open insertion housing 101 of the laundry care appliance 100, which has a handle opening 119 on the front side 117 of the pulled-out insertion housing 101. The punch-through housing 101 comprises three sections 121, which are separated from each other by partition walls 123.
The flush-through housing 101 is opened in fig. 3(b), and the interior area 125 of the flush-through housing 101 is accessible to a user in order to inject detergent into the interior area 125 of the flush-through housing 101, if necessary.
In the open state of the punch-in housing 101, the lighting element 105 is arranged on the front side 117 of the punch-in housing 101. The light receiving region 113 of the illuminating element 105 is arranged in the inner region 125 of the punch-in housing 101. The light receiving region 113 may receive light from the surroundings of the flush-in housing 101 when the flush-in housing 101 is opened. The light output region 115 is arranged on a front side 117 of the punch-in housing 101. The light received by the light receiving area 113 may be output through a light output area 115 on a front side 117 of the flush-in housing 101 to illuminate the flush-in housing 101.
Fig. 4 shows a schematic view of a punch-in housing with an illuminating element in a sectional view. Fig. 4(a) shows the closed wash-in housing 101 of the laundry care appliance 100. The flush-in housing 101 comprises a handle opening 119 on the front side 117, into which a user can grip in order to pull the flush-in housing 101 out of the laundry care appliance 100 and, if necessary, to inject detergent into the flush-in housing 101.
The inner area 125 of the flush-through housing 101 is closed and cannot be refilled with detergent by the user. The illumination element 105 is arranged on the punch-in housing 101, wherein the light receiving region 113 is arranged in an interior region 125 of the punch-in housing 101, wherein the light output region 115 is arranged on a front side 117 of the punch-in housing 101.
Since the light receiving region 113 is arranged in the inner region 125 of the flush-in housing 101 in the closed state of the flush-in housing 101, no light can reach the light receiving region 113 from outside the flush-in housing 101 and thus also no light can be output to the surroundings of the flush-in housing 101 via the light output region 115 of the illumination element 105.
Fig. 4(b) shows the open insertion housing 101 of the laundry care appliance 100 with the handle opening 119 on the front side 117 of the insertion housing 101 pulled open. The flush-through housing 101 is opened in fig. 4(b), and the interior area 125 of the flush-through housing 101 is accessible to the user in order to inject detergent into the interior area 125 of the flush-through housing 101, if necessary.
The lighting element 105 is arranged on the front side 117 of the punch-in housing 101. The light receiving region 113 of the illuminating element 105 is arranged in the inner region 125 of the punch-in housing 101. The light receiving region 113 may receive light from the surroundings of the flush-in housing 101 when the flush-in housing 101 is opened. The light output region 115 is arranged on a front side 117 of the punch-in housing 101. The incident light 116 is received by the light receiving region 113. The injected light 118 is output through the light output region 115 on the front side 117 of the punch-in housing 101 in order to illuminate the punch-in housing 101.
This ensures that the punch-through housing 101 is effectively illuminated by the illumination element 105. In particular, a logo, symbol or icon on the flush-in shell 101 can be illuminated by a simple geometric adaptation. The great advantage of the illumination element 105 is that the illumination of the illumination element 105 is sufficient without an electrically driven light source or an electrical connection to the laundry care appliance 100 and can be achieved solely by ambient light. This enables energy-saving illumination of the flush-in housing 101.
All features described and illustrated in connection with the individual embodiments of the invention can be provided in different combinations in the subject matter according to the invention in order to achieve their advantageous effects at the same time.
The scope of protection of the invention is given by the claims and is not limited by the features described in the description or shown in the drawings.
