Abstract

The invention relates to a process display of family equipment, such as a laundry machine or a dish-washing machine, each program procedure is displayed on a program mode (1) of the equipment through the display and each passed program procedure is marked by a optical signal which is started up by sequential control of the equipment. The reduction of materials and installing cost will not lose the heterogeneity of the display possibility and the display comprises a light source (3) which emits light with different colors through drive. Each program procedure of the program mode (1) is designed to be provided with colors corresponding to a light color which is emitted by the light source (3) of each passed program procedure in the device.

Description

Progress indicator on the housed device
The present invention relates to a progress indicator that is used on the housed device, for example washing machine or dish-washing machine, wherein each program step of display has shown the program schema that is located on this equipment, and the light letterization that the program step of each process can start by the sequential control of this equipment is indicated.
This progress indicator is known by DE-C-3149702.In this known display, the sign of each program step all is imprinted on this program schema, and this program schema then is located at user's one side of this equipment.Each sign all is furnished with a signal lamp.This signal lamp drive by the sequential control of this equipment according to the program state that has arrived of each this equipment that reaches and by their illumination shown should reality program state.This display equipment is wanted many signal lamps corresponding to the number needs of the program step that will show.A large amount of like this signal lamps have improved Master Cost, have also caused the corresponding high cost of installing in addition.
Task of the present invention is, reduces material and erected cost in the progress indicator in the described type of beginning widely, and needn't accept the diversity of this display possibility and the loss that brings.
Above-mentioned task solves in the following way according to the present invention, this progress indicator contains a light source, it can send different colors by corresponding driving and be located at after the translucent display, this program schema is applied on this screen, wherein, in this equipment, each program step of this program schema each be designed to have color according to the light color that this light source sent in the program step of process.Sequential control by this equipment is activated corresponding to the program step that each reached this light source according to the color of its light that sends, so that this light source sends the light of different colours with different program steps.On this screen, each several part sends light color corresponding to their color and is lighted then to each, so that this each program state that reaches can be discerned like a cork.
If this program schema is located at the centre of program schema for circular and this light source, then simply mode reaches the illumination intensity of the unanimity of all program steps that will show.Under the situation of the program schema of this annular, this each program step can advantageously be represented as coloured fanned partition.
If have from the radially inside optical conductor to the center of this fanned partition, then the illumination intensity of this display equipment can be enhanced.
Can realize having the display of different colours in simple especially mode by the light emitting diode of many colors.
The quantity of displayable program sector can be passed through different glow colors in addition, also can increase by the variation of brightness or the flicker of light source.
Explain the present invention in detail by means of the embodiment in the accompanying drawing below.
Indicate a program schema with 1, it is located on the control panel screen of being made up of trnaslucent materials and is provided at the housed device that is provided with out, as user's one side on washing machine or dish-washing machine or the drier.Light source 3 is located at the center 2 of this program schema 1, and according to the driving respectively of the sequential control of this equipment, this light source 3 sends the light of different colours, and is for example red, green and yellow.This program schema 1 is divided into several fanned partitions 4, and its light color that sends according to light source 3 is designed to redness, green and yellow.
Particularly, can use a multi-color illumination diode (LED) to be used as light source 3 to transmit varicolored light.Such light emitting diode illuminates redness or green according to driving.If drive redness and green simultaneously with this light emitting diode, then these light emitting diodes send yellow.Therefore just can realize by single source 3 several, for example three kinds photochromic.Yet, also can use several light emitting diodes and each only luminous a kind of monochromatic light.
Also can expand display possibility as follows, driving light source 3 makes it send different brightness and/or glimmers in each program step.Each fanned partition 4 can form with band shape in program schema 1.If the working routine that experiences in this equipment is located at corresponding program part, then, for example light source 3 flickers are to indicate corresponding program state by this mode.Different radiances by light source 3 also can identify.

Claims (6)

1. the progress indicator of housed device, for example washing machine or dish-washing machine, show each program step on the program schema that is positioned on this equipment by display, and the program step of each process is by being indicated by the light signal that sequential control started of this equipment, it is characterized in that, this progress indicator contains a light source (3), this light source sends the light of different colours by corresponding driving and is located at the back of translucent screen, on this screen, contain program schema (1), wherein, each program step of this program schema (1) is designed to have color according to the light color that the light source (3) in the program step that difference experienced in this equipment is sent.
2. according to the progress indicator of claim 1, it is characterized in that this program schema (1) is formed annular, and this light source (3) is located at the center (2) of this program schema (1).
3. according to the progress indicator of claim 2, it is characterized in that this each program step is illustrated on this screen as coloured fanned partition (4).
4. according to the progress indicator of claim 3, it is characterized in that, have each optical conductor that extends radially inwardly to center (2) from fanned partition (4).
5. according to the progress indicator of one of aforesaid right requirement, it is characterized in that, have the multiple colour light emitting diode of light source (3) as color changeable.
6. the progress indicator that one of requires according to aforesaid right is characterized in that, this light source (3) in each program step with different brightness radiation and/or flicker.
