Definitions

  • the invention relates to a rotary switch device for electrical household appliances according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Devices with at least one rotary switch of this type are known from DE-C-33 45 312 known. It shows a rotary switch with a retractable toggle, which is relative to the actual switch part and axially to an axis of rotation between an outer Axial position (working position) in front of an aperture and an inner axial position (Rest position) is slidable in an opening of the diaphragm and in the outer axial position is rotatable about the axis of rotation in front of the aperture.
  • a lighting device for lighting can be arranged behind the diaphragm the circumferential gap between the edge of the diaphragm and the gag and / or for lighting symbols which are provided on the gag for identification its set function.
  • the aperture and / or the gag can be completely or in parts made of translucent
  • a web is arranged on the gag, which interacts with a non-rotatably arranged counterpart an axial adjustment of the Toggle allowed only in a predetermined rotational position of the toggle.
  • the gag can activate a lighting device depending on its axial position. In the inner axial position, the flat outer face of the gag is flush with the outer surface of the bezel.
  • From DE-C-23 64 667 is an actuator for switching or regulating devices of stoves arranged behind a panel known for setting certain temperature ranges with a gag, which against the force of a compression spring can be inserted into the panel and inserted Position is held by a resilient locking element. By pressing the It is gagged by the compression spring from the inner axial position to the outer axial position postponed.
  • the well-known retractable gags are round.
  • the object of the invention is to achieve the switch-on state and the To make the toggle switch-off state more easily recognizable and increase operational safety.
  • the invention is characterized in that the outer circumference of the through the opening movable section of the toggle unequal radial center distances from the Has axis of rotation and that the edge of the opening also matched uneven Has center distances from the axis of rotation, such that the toggle only in a zero rotational position fits through the opening, but in no other rotational position.
  • the gag is in the inner axial position or in the outer axial position whether it is in a zero rotary position in the outer axial position, in which it can be moved into the opening of the diaphragm to the inner axial position or whether it is in a different rotational position in the outer axial position.
  • the knob is only in its zero rotary position from the outer Axial position can be moved into the opening to the inner axial position no additional funds required.
  • the following functions are provided be: With the toggle in the inner axial position, there is a certain one Heating device (cooking zone, hot plate, oven) and lighting of the Knebels or its surroundings turned off. With zero rotary position in the outer Only the lighting is switched on in the axial position. With a non-zero The lighting and heating are switched on, depending on the Rotary position of the toggle a predetermined heating power is turned on.
  • Heating device cooking zone, hot plate, oven
  • the invention also offers a reliable one Child protection "against unauthorized or unintentional actuation of the switch and also protection against touching a hot cooking zone of the cooker by children or adults.
  • a Electric stove 12 described, but can also be used for any other household appliances used, for example for dishwashers, washing machines, Mixers, etc.
  • a front panel 14 of the electric oven 12 is a symbol field 16 deepened, i.e. with respect to the front surface 18 of the panel 14 rear set back.
  • the symbol field 16 contains symbols (not shown), which one operator the various functions of the stove Show.
  • a plurality of rotary switches 20 are arranged behind the diaphragm 14. Any rotary switch is adjustable by a toggle 22, which is relative to the switch 20 and axially to one Axis of rotation 24, which is defined by a shaft 26, between an outer Axial position and an inner axial position through an opening 28 of the aperture axially displaceable and in the outer axial position from 0 ° to 360 ° or vice versa is rotatable about the axis of rotation 24 in different rotational positions.
  • arrows 30 show the directions of rotation and arrows 32 the axial directions in which the Gag 22 is movable.
  • the respective rotational position of the toggle 22 is by a Mark 34 on the symbol field 16 and by markings, for example 0, 1, 2 and 3, recognizable on the gag 22 for an operator.
  • the outer periphery 40 of the portion of the toggle movable through the opening 28 22 has unequal radial center distances from the axis of rotation 24, and the edge of the opening 28 also has matched unequal center distances from the axis of rotation 24, such that the toggle 22 only through the opening 28 in the zero rotational position fits, but in no other rotational position.
  • the axis of rotation 24 is for The center 41 of the oval shape or the ellipse is offset eccentrically and lies accordingly Fig.2 preferably on the long diameter axis of the oval shape or the long central axis of the ellipse.
  • the outer circumference 40 lies in the outer axial position of the toggle 22 outside the opening 28 so that the toggle 22 can be rotated.
  • the outer circumference 40 of the toggle 22 has a small in all axial positions of the toggle 22 Distance from the edge of the opening 28, so that one arranged behind the aperture 14 electric lighting device 42 light through the opening slit on the Front of the panel 14 can reach when the gag 22 from its inner Axial position is moved into its outer axial position and, preferably by this movement, the lighting device 42 is turned on.
  • the front end face 44 of the toggle 22 is aligned with the front surface 18 of the Aperture 14 when the gag is in its inner axial position. This allows the Front of the panel 14 and the gag 22 can be easily cleaned and there will be Accidents, especially of children, are avoided since the recessed gag 22 can neither hit nor get caught.
  • the gag 22 can be made from the part shown with the outer circumference 40 exist or have a further section behind this shown part, which extends through the opening 28 but has such a small diameter that it cannot collide with the opening edge.
  • FIG. 2 shows the toggle 22 in its recessed, inner axial position, and in dashed lines Lines in its outer axial position, each in its zero-degree rotation position.
  • 1 shows the toggle 22 in further rotational positions.
  • Fig. 1 shows the good visibility the various rotational positions of the knob 22 for an operator. At any rotational position of the toggle 22 that deviates from the zero-degree rotational position is this on state of the switch 20 not only at the rotational position of the Knobs 22 recognizable, but also through the exposed part 28a of the opening 28, through which the light of the lighting device 42 then shines and an operator clearly signals that the associated switch electrical part, for example the oven, or a cooking zone or hotplate turned on and hot.
  • the outer circumference 40 of the toggle 22 can also be other than an oval or elliptical To have shape. It is important that the outer circumference 40 of the opening 28 movable section of the toggle 22 unequal radial center distances from the Has axis of rotation 24 and that the edge of the opening 28 adapted uneven Has center distances from the axis of rotation 24, such that the gag only at his Zero rotational position through the opening 28 fits, but in no other of it 360 ° distributed rotary positions.
