Programmable data processing device

The present invention relates to a programmable data processing device according to the preamble of the main claim.

Such data processing devices are in particular as Heating controllers have already become known, they instruct their front side pointers, instruments and light points as display elements, controls for displaying various functions and setting elements, the the latter are used in particular to adjust the program sequence.

It is also known to have such a heating controller to provide hinged cover, this cover the

The task is to prevent unintentional adjustment of the values set on the setting elements wear and continue to give the controller a pleasing appearance.

The present invention is based on the object, with the cover, the elements of the data processing device to order or against unintentional adjustment of an unwanted program.

The solution to this problem consists in the characterizing features of the independent main claims.

Further refinements and particularly advantageous developments of the invention are the subject matter of the subclaims or are based on the following Description shows an embodiment of the invention explain in more detail with reference to Figures one to four of the drawing.

Show it:

Figure one is a view of the data processing device with the lid open,

- 3 with the cover closed,

Figure three what the ceiling covers on the front Figure four shows a side view of the device.

In the figures, the same reference symbols denote the same details in each case.

From FIG. Four it can be seen that the heating controller consists of a housing 1 which has a front side 2 and which is attached with its back 3 to a wall of the installation room. At the top 4 of the Front 2 is a transparent bottom cover 5 hinged, which can be folded up and locked and the can be folded down for complete installation at the front 2. When folding down, with the cover 5 actuates a switching pin 6 of a switch 7, so that a arranged in the interior of the housing Switch can be operated and switched.

FIG. One shows the front side 2 of the housing 1 with the cover 5 folded down. the The front has two LED number displays 8 and 9, with the times, hours and temperature values.

can be shown. Furthermore, as display elements GaIIiumarseniddioden 10 provided, one of which is a group on the top left in a horizontal line and another group on the top left in a vertical line are. The gallium arsenide diodes in the horizontal row signal the reading or display of, for example, room temperature setpoints and actual values, domestic hot water temperature values and so on, the row of vertically arranged light-emitting diodes indicate the days of the week from Monday to Sunday on. There are also display elements in the form of further GaIlium arsenide diodes in the field at the bottom left and in In the form of two rotary knobs 11 which have arrows 12 which can be aligned with markings 13. as Another setting element is a summer-winter switch 14 is provided to which two markings 15 are assigned so that the position of the switch can be seen. A The standard program switch is arranged in the form of a key 16, furthermore an optimization key 17. In addition to this Control elements 11, 14, 16 and 17 are still operating elements in the form of rocker buttons 18, of which one of each row of GaIlium arsenide diodes and one each further assigned to each LED display. With these controls can move the gallium arsenide diodes to the next adjacent element to the right or can be switched to the left or up or down, a

Using the buttons assigned to the LED elements produces a £

Control elements is that with them another

Value can be displayed while another value is set using the setting elements.

From the figure two it can be seen that when the cover 5 is folded down, some of the operating elements 18 are not are more accessible. This means that when the cover is folded down, it is no longer possible, for example, to view the display to change the individual days of the week or other processes. Recesses are provided in the cover, see above that part of the LED displays and part of the control buttons 18 and all GaI1iumarseniddioden are visible.

There are also the two rotary knobs 11 and the summer-winter switch accessible. The button 16, however, is blocked.

The control elements, all of which are not accessible or covered, emerge from FIG. Three.

When the lids are folded down on the front only the display, operating and setting elements are visible,

which emerge from the figure two. So it is only possible to display those temperatures by operating the control element 18 top right that the various gallium arsenide diodes on the upper horizontal one Row can be assigned. By pressing the control element, the display jumps from a gallium arsenide diode to the other, when you press the right part of the control element to the right, when you press the left part of the control element to the left. It is thus possible, for example, to set the room temperature setpoint, the Set the reduction temperature setpoint, the outside temperature, the domestic hot water temperature and so on and click on the display 8 to display. The temperature is shown in the right area of the LED display (for example 19 °), in the left area of the LED display, the Time displayed. The temperature display in the LED display 8 is immediately below the control element it is possible by selecting the heating curve and the lowering temperature, which are selected with the control element at the top right can change this, the change can be carried out using the button just mentioned below the LED display will. This is the only change that is possible when the lid is closed.

When the cover is opened, however, the individual days of the week can be selected and the program can be changed on them can be changed as well as the beginning and the end of a certain heating phase. In addition, it is possible to display the temperature through the third LED display that then becomes visible and through the one below to change the immediately arranged push button that belongs to the period appearing in the main area of the LED display,

In normal operation, i.e. with the cover folded down, there is essentially only one information option for given to the user, with the lid up, on the other hand, there is a much more extensive information option and, above all, given a possibility of change. The switchover between these two types of functions is carried out by the switch contact on the cover already mentioned causes.
