Eine solche Anzeigevorrichtung benötigt eine der Anzahl der anzuzei genden Programmschritte entsprechende Anzahl von Signallampen. Eine solche Viel zahl von Signallampen stellt einen erheblichen Materialaufwand dar und verursacht außerdem entsprechend hohe Montagekosten.Such a program flow display is known from DE-C-31 49 702. At this known display is a program template on the operating side of the device seen on which the names of the individual program steps are printed are. A signal lamp is assigned to each of these names. The signal lamps according to the program status of the device reached by its Ab run control and thus show the current Pro when lit. grams. Such a display device requires one of the number to be displayed number of signal lamps corresponding to the program steps. Such a lot Number of signal lamps represents a considerable amount of material and causes also correspondingly high assembly costs.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer Programmablaufanzeige der ein gangs beschriebenen Art den Material- und Montageaufwand wesentlich zu reduzie ren, ohne daß eine Einbuße hinsichtlich der Vielfalt der Anzeigemöglichkeiten hinge nommen werden muß.The invention is based, with a program flow display the task described way to reduce material and assembly costs significantly ren without sacrificing the variety of display options must be taken.
Die Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe gelingt nach der Erfindung dadurch, daß die Ablauf anzeige eine durch entsprechendes Ansteuern Licht in unterschiedlicher Farbe ab strahlende Lichtquelle enthält, die hinter einer durchscheinenden Blende angeordnet ist, auf die die Programmschablone aufgetragen ist, wobei die einzelnen Programm schritte der Programmschablone entsprechend der bei dem jeweils im Gerät ablaufen den Programmschritt von der Lichtquelle abgestrahlten Lichtfarbe farbig gestaltet sind. Die Lichtquelle wird hinsichtlich der Farbe ihres abgestrahlten Lichtes durch die Ablauf steuerung des Gerätes entsprechend dem jeweils erreichten Programmschritt ange steuert, so daß die Lichtquelle bei verschiedenen Programmschritten Licht unter schiedlicher Farbe abstrahlt. An der Blende leuchten dann die in ihrer Farbe der jeweils abgestrahlten Lichtfarbe entsprechenden Abschnitte auf, so daß der jeweils erreichte Stand des Programmablaufs leicht erkannt werden kann.The solution to the problem is achieved according to the invention in that the process display a light in different colors by controlling it accordingly contains radiant light source, which is arranged behind a translucent diaphragm is on which the program template is applied, the individual program steps of the program template according to the one in the device the program step light color emitted by the light source are colored. The light source is the sequence of the light emitted by the light control of the device according to the program step reached controls so that the light source under various program steps light radiates different colors. The color of the then shine on the bezel radiated light color corresponding sections, so that each reached Status of the program flow can be easily recognized.
Eine gleichmäßige Leuchtstärke für alle anzuzeigenden Programmabschnitte wird auf einfache Weise dadurch erreicht, daß die Programmschablone kreisrund ausgebildet und die Lichtquelle im Zentrum der Programmschablone angeordnet ist. Bei einer sol chen kreisrunden Programmschablone werden die einzelnen Programmabschnitte zweckmäßigerweise als farbige Sektorabschnitte dargestellt.A uniform luminosity for all program sections to be displayed will open easily achieved in that the program template is circular and the light source is arranged in the center of the program template. With a sol The circular program template becomes the individual program sections expediently shown as colored sector sections.
Die Ausleuchtstärke der Anzeigevorrichtung läßt sich dadurch verbessern, daß sich von den Sektorabschnitten aus radial nach innen zum Zentrum hin erstreckende Licht leiter vorgesehen sind.The illuminance of the display device can be improved in that Light extending radially inward toward the center from the sector sections head are provided.
Mittels einer mehrfarbigen LED läßt sich auf besonders einfache Weise eine Anzeige mit unterschiedlichen Lichtfarben erzielen.A display can be made in a particularly simple manner by means of a multicolored LED with different light colors.
Die Anzahl der anzeigbaren Programmabschnitte kann außer durch unterschiedliche Lichtfarben auch noch durch eine Variation der Helligkeit bzw. durch ein Blinken der Lichtquelle vergrößert werden.The number of program sections that can be displayed can be different, except by different ones Light colors also by varying the brightness or by blinking the Light source can be enlarged.
Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles wird die Erfindung nachfolgend näher erläutert.Based on an embodiment shown in the drawing, the invention explained in more detail below.
Mit 1 ist eine auf einer auf der Bedienseite eines nicht dargestellten Haushaltgerätes, wie beispielsweise einer Wasch- oder Geschirrspülmaschine bzw. eines Wäsche trockners, vorgesehenen und aus durchscheinendem Material bestehenden Bedien feldblende aufgetragene Programmschablone bezeichnet. Im Zentrum 2 dieser Pro grammschablone 1 ist eine Lichtquelle 3 angeordnet, die je nach Ansteuerung durch die Ablaufsteuerung des Gerätes Licht unterschiedlicher Farbe, z. B. rot, grün und gelb, abstrahlt. Die Programmschablone 1 ist in mehrere Sektorabschnitte 4 unterteilt, die entsprechend den von der Lichtquelle 3 abgestrahlten Lichtfarben farbig, also rot, grün und gelb gestaltet sind. 1 with a provided on a panel on the operating side of a household appliance, not shown, such as a washing machine or dishwasher or a laundry dryer, provided and made of translucent material control panel applied program template. In the center 2 of this pro gram template 1 , a light source 3 is arranged, depending on the control by the sequence control of the device light of different colors, for. B. red, green and yellow. The program template 1 is divided into a plurality of sector sections 4 , which are colored, that is to say red, green and yellow, in accordance with the light colors emitted by the light source 3 .
Als eine Licht mehrerer Farben abgebende Lichtquelle 3 kann insbesondere eine mehrfarbige Leuchtdiode (LED) verwendet werden. Derartige LEDs leuchten bei entsprechender Ansteuerung rot oder grün. Wird bei solchen LEDs rot und grün gleich zeitig angesteuert, dann strahlen diese LEDs gelbes Licht ab. Somit können mittels ei ner einzigen Lichtquelle 3 mehrere, z. B. drei, Lichtfarben realisiert werden. Es besteht aber auch die Möglichkeit, mehrere jeweils nur Licht einer einzigen Farbe abstrahlende LEDs zu verwenden.A multi-colored light-emitting diode (LED) can in particular be used as the light source 3 emitting light of several colors. Such LEDs light up red or green when activated accordingly. If the red and green LEDs are activated at the same time, these LEDs emit yellow light. Thus, several such means ei ner single light source. 3 B. three, light colors can be realized. However, it is also possible to use a plurality of LEDs which only emit light of a single color.
Eine Erweiterung der Anzeigemöglichkeiten ergibt sich dadurch, daß die Lichtquelle 3 so angesteuert wird, daß sie bei einzelnen Programmschritten mit unterschiedlicher Helligkeit strahlt und/oder blinkt. An der Programmschablone 1 können einzelne Sek torabschnitte 4 streifig ausgebildet sein. Befindet sich das im Gerät ablaufende Arbeits programm bei dem entsprechenden Programmabschnitt, dann blinkt beispielsweise die Lichtquelle 3, so daß der betreffende Programmstand auf diese Weise identifiziert wer den kann. Eine Identifizierung ist auch mittels einer unterschiedlichen Strahlungshellig keit der Lichtquelle 3 möglich.An expansion of the display possibilities results from the fact that the light source 3 is controlled in such a way that it shines and / or flashes with different brightness during individual program steps. On the program template 1 individual sector sections 4 can be formed in stripes. If the work program running in the device is in the corresponding program section, then for example the light source 3 flashes, so that the program status in question can be identified in this way. Identification is also possible by means of a different radiation brightness of the light source 3 .
