Definitions

  • the invention relates to an optical switching stage display for household appliances equipped with rotary selector switches, in particular stoves, in which the rotary selector switches are coupled to an illuminable indicator disk arranged behind the switch panel and the indicator disk is visible through a translucent area of the switch panel.
  • the disadvantage of the above-described embodiment is that the accommodation of the reflector on the switching axis of the rotary selector switch is very complex and that the users can not see the switching level display particularly well due to the relatively small field of view of the display area.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an optical switching stage display for cookers in which the set switching stage is easy and clear for the operator and in which this can be achieved by relatively simple construction measures in the switch area.
  • the advantage of the embodiment of the invention is that the user en Vietnamese and compact device technology in the area of the rotary selector switch.
  • Rotary selection switches 2 are arranged in the switch panel 1 in the usual manner for setting the hotplates or the oven, which are not shown in detail.
  • a circular, transparent display field 3 is formed in the area around the rotary selector switch 2.
  • a fixed reflection shell 5 is mounted behind the switch panel 1 within a switch box 4. In the upper area of this reflection shell 5, a light receiving space 6 for accommodating an electrical light 7 is formed.
  • a pot-shaped unit 8 is arranged within the reflection shell 5 and is coupled to the rotary selector switch 2.
  • the cup-shaped unit 8 essentially consists of the display disc 9 and the cylindrical light change or light attenuation element 10.
  • the cup-shaped unit 8 is made of a translucent material. On the cylindrical outer surface of this cup-shaped unit 8 there is a likewise transparent color film layer 11 printed or glued on.
  • the color film layer 11 extends on the circumference of the light change element 10 in an increasing manner, ie an area with a low color film cover is continuously increased up to an area with a large color film cover of the light change element 10.
  • the above-described embodiment has the effect that when the rotary selector switch 2 is turned on, the lamp 7 is switched on and below the lamp 7 there is initially the area with the small color film width.
  • a red film e.g. the display panel 3 shows only a light red colored illumination of the display panel 9.
  • the rotary selector switch 2 is now set to higher switching levels, a larger color film area also gets under the lamp 7 and the light reflected from the reflection shell 5 towards the front of the display panel 9 is given now an increasingly intense and powerful red color drawing.
  • the user can also obtain information about the switching level currently set due to the different color intensity of the lighting.
  • the different lighting intensity in the display field 3 can be achieved by graduated material clouding of the light changing element 10.
  • the Light changing element 10 can be formed an increasing translucent opening.
  • the reflection shell 5 itself can be lined with a silver or colored reflection layer and sprayed as a plastic part in a reflected material.
