Description

Bausatz für ein Schaltpult für Haushaltgeräte mit schrankförmigem GehäuseKit for a control panel for household appliances with a cabinet-shaped housing
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Bausatz für ein Schaltpult für Haushaltgeräte mit schrankförmigem Gehäuse, insbesondere für Waschmaschinen und Wäschetrockner, mit mindestens zwei Typen von mit Bedienungshandhaben von rechts nach links unterschiedlich organisierten Bedienblenden und mit einer zur Anbringung hinter der Bedienblende vorgesehenen Trägerplatine für mindestens ein durch eine der Bedienungshandhaben betätigbares Schaltgerät.The invention relates to a kit for a control panel for household appliances with a cabinet-shaped housing, in particular for washing machines and tumble dryers, with at least two types of control panels organized differently with operating handles from right to left and with a support plate provided for attachment behind the control panel for at least one of the Operator-operated switchgear.
Ein solches Schaltpult ist durch DE 35 42 503 A1 bekannt. Darin sind mehrere Bedie- nungshandhaben in Form von Drehschaltern und Tasten angeordnet, mit denen unterschiedliche Programmeingaben für ein programmgesteuertes Haushaltgerät, beispielsweise eine Waschmaschine, vollzogen werden können. Solche Schaltpulte enthalten hinter der außen sichtbaren Bedienblende eine Trägerplatine, auf der entsprechende Schaltgeräte für die Bedienungshandhaben und Anzeigeelemente angebracht sind.Such a control panel is known from DE 35 42 503 A1. A number of operating handles in the form of rotary switches and keys are arranged therein, with which different program inputs for a program-controlled household appliance, for example a washing machine, can be carried out. Such control desks contain a carrier board behind the control panel, which is visible from the outside, on which corresponding switching devices for the operating handles and display elements are attached.
Wenn im Programm eines Herstellers unterschiedliche Reihen von Haushaltgeräten eines Typs, zum Beispiel von Waschmaschinen, mit sich optisch deutlich unterscheidenden Bedienblenden ausgestattet werden sollen, dann erfordert die bekannte Bauart von Schaltpulten entsprechend unterschiedliche Trägerplatinen für die Schaltgeräte und Anzeige- elemente.If, in the program of a manufacturer, different rows of household appliances of one type, for example washing machines, are to be equipped with visually distinct control panels, then the known design of control desks requires correspondingly different carrier boards for the switching devices and display elements.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, für mindestens zwei Typen von Schaltpulten für unterschiedliche Haushaltgeräte-Reihen die Anzahl der Einzelteile für die jeweils bereitzustellenden Schaltpult-Bausätze zu minimieren, damit durch Standardisierung von Einzelteilen über höhere Stückzahlen Rationalisierungseffekte erzielbar sind.The object of the invention is to minimize the number of individual parts for the respective control panel kits to be provided for at least two types of control desks for different rows of household appliances, so that rationalization effects can be achieved by standardizing individual parts over larger quantities.
Erfindungsgemäß wird diese Aufgabe dadurch gelöst, daß für den Bausatz mit einer mindestens zwei Typen umfassenden Bedienblende nur ein Typ von Trägerplatinen vorgesehen ist, und die Organsiation der Bedienungshandhaben bei den beiden Typen von Bedienblenden zueinander zumindest annähernd spiegeisymmetrisch ist. Durch die erfindungsgemäße Lösung kann für zwei unterschiedlich erscheinende Bedienblenden ein einziger Typ von Trägerplatinen vorgesehen sein, der hinter einem Typ von Bedienblenden in einer Lage und hinter dem anderen Typ von Bedienblenden in einer um beispielsweise 180° gedrehten Lage (rotationssymmetrisch) angeordnet ist. Dadurch ergibt sich bei beiden Typen von Bedienblenden eine unterschiedliche Organisation der Reihenfolge von auf der Bedienblende vorgesehenen Bedienungshandhaben.According to the invention, this object is achieved in that only one type of carrier board is provided for the kit with an operating panel comprising at least two types, and the organization of the operating handles in the two types of operating panels is at least approximately mirror-symmetrical to one another. By means of the solution according to the invention, a single type of carrier board can be provided for two operating panels which appear different, which is arranged behind one type of operating panel in one position and behind the other type of operating panel in a position rotated by, for example, 180 ° (rotationally symmetrical). This results in a different organization of the sequence of operating handles provided on the control panel for both types of control panels.
Bei einem Bausatz mit einer außermittig in der Bedienblende angeordneten Drehhandhabe ist es im Sinne der obenstehenden Aufgabenstellung von besonderem Vorteil, wenn im einen Typ der Bedienblenden die Drehhandhabe rechts der Mitte und im anderen Typ links der Mitte angeordnet ist. Die Erscheinungsbilder dieser zwei Typen von Bedienungshandhaben unterscheiden sich am stärksten dadurch, daß eine optisch auffällige Bedienungshandhabe an deutlich sichtbar anderer Stelle angeordnet ist als bei dem anderen Typ von Bedienblenden.In the case of a kit with a rotary handle arranged off-center in the control panel, it is particularly advantageous in the sense of the above task if the rotary handle is arranged to the right of the center in one type of control panel and to the left in the other type. The appearance of these two types of operating handles differ most in that an optically conspicuous operating handle is arranged in a clearly visibly different place than in the other type of operating panels.
Weitere Variationen in dem Erscheinungsbild lassen sich vorteilhaft durch eine weitere Weiterbildung der Erfindung erzielen, bei der auf der Trägerplatine noch weitere Schaltgeräte angeordnet sind, deren Bedienungshandhaben (Tasten, Drehschalter) in der einen Einbaulage der Trägerplatine in einer von rechts nach links organisierten Reihenfolge für den einen Typ von Bedienblenden und für den anderen Typ bei nach Rotation eingebau- ter Trägerplatine beispielsweise von links nach rechts in derselben Reihenfolge organisiert sind.Further variations in the appearance can advantageously be achieved by a further development of the invention, in which further switching devices are arranged on the carrier board, the operating handles (buttons, rotary switches) in the one installation position of the carrier board in a sequence from right to left for the one type of control panels and for the other type are organized in the same order, for example from left to right, when the carrier board is installed after rotation.
Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels für zwei optisch unterschiedliche Schaltpulte ist die Erfindung nachstehend erläutert.The invention is explained below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing for two optically different control panels.
Es zeigenShow it
Fig. 1 die Frontfläche einer Bedienblende für eine Waschmaschinenreihe eines Herstellers undFig. 1 shows the front surface of a control panel for a washing machine series from a manufacturer and
Fig. 2 die Frontfläche einer Bedienblende für eine andere Reihe von Waschmaschinen desselben Herstellers.Fig. 2 shows the front surface of a control panel for another series of washing machines from the same manufacturer.
Die Bedienblenden enthalten auf ihrer Frontfläche sichtbar in Fig. 1 von rechts nach links einen Drehschalter 1 , drei übereinander angeordnete optische Anzeigeelemente 2, 3 undThe control panels contain on their front surface visible in Fig. 1 from right to left a rotary switch 1, three superimposed optical display elements 2, 3 and
4, einen weiteren Drehschalter 5, drei nebeneinander angeordnete Tasten 6, 7 und 8 mit zugeordneten optischen Anzeigeelementen 9, 10 und 11 sowie einen Drucktastenschalter 12 zum Schalten der Netzspannung.4, another rotary switch 5, three buttons 6, 7 and 8 arranged next to each other with assigned optical display elements 9, 10 and 11 and a push button switch 12 for switching the mains voltage.
Bei der in Fig. 2 dargestellten Bedienblende ist dieselbe Reihenfolge von Bedienungshandhaben von links nach rechts organisiert. Außerdem enthalten beide Bedienblenden jeweils noch eine Griffplatte 13 für eine dahinter angeordnete Waschmittelschublade.In the control panel shown in FIG. 2, the same sequence of operating procedures is organized from left to right. In addition, both control panels each contain a handle plate 13 for a detergent drawer arranged behind it.
Hinter der Bedienblende des Typs 1 in Fig. 1 ist mit gestrichelten Linien die dahinter angeordnete Trägerplatte 14 angedeutet. Hinter den Bedienungshandhaben 1, 5 bis 8 und 12 der Bedienblende sind entsprechende Schalt- und Anzeigegeräte auf der Trägerplati- ne 14 montiert. In gleicher Weise ist die Trägerplatine 14 hinter der Bedienblende des Typs 2 in Fig. 2 montiert, nur mit dem Unterschied, daß die Trägerplatine 14 in Fig. 2 genau um 180° gegenüber der in Fig. 1 gedreht (rotationssymmetrisch) eingebaut ist. Dadurch sind zwar die Anzeigeelemente 2 bis 4 von oben nach unten betrachtet in die umgekehrte Reihenfolge geraten, was gewollt sein kann. Soll aber die ursprüngliche Reihenfolge erhalten bleiben oder überhaupt neu geordnet werden, dann können die Anzeigelemente - übrigens auch die Bedienungshandhaben (z.B. die Tasten), wenn gewünscht - durch Software-Anpassung neu organisiert werden.Behind the control panel of type 1 in Fig. 1, the carrier plate 14 arranged behind it is indicated by dashed lines. Corresponding switching and display devices are mounted on the carrier board 14 behind the operating handles 1, 5 to 8 and 12 of the operating panel. In the same way, the carrier board 14 is mounted behind the control panel of type 2 in FIG. 2, with the only difference that the carrier board 14 in FIG. 2 is installed exactly 180 ° with respect to that in FIG. 1 (rotationally symmetrical). As a result, the display elements 2 to 4, viewed from top to bottom, have gotten into the reverse order, which can be desired. However, if the original order is to be retained or even rearranged, the display elements - incidentally also the operating handles (e.g. the buttons), can be reorganized by software adaptation if desired.
Die Reihenfolge der auf den Trägerplatinen angeordneten Schalt- und Anzeigegeräte bzw. auf den Bedienblenden angeordneten Bedienungshandhaben hat für die Erfindung grundsätzlich keine Bedeutung. Ebenso nicht die Anzahl der unterschiedlichen Typen von Bedienungshandhaben und die Abstände zueinander. Abweichend von den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen kann aber auch beispielsweise einer der Drehschalter 1 oder 5 genau im Umschlag-Drehmittelpunkt der Platine bzw. der entsprechenden Fläche der Be- dienblende angeordnet sein, so daß gerade diese Handhabe bei beiden Typen von Bedienblenden immer in der Mitte angeordnet ist. Andererseits können aber auch dadurch zusätzlich unterschiedliche Erscheinungsbilder entstehen, daß die Trägerplatinen im einen Falle besonders weit nach rechts hinter der Bedienblende und im anderen Fall besonders weit nach links angeordnet sind. Entscheidend für die Erfüllung der erfindungsgemäßen Aufgabe ist ein ausreichend deutlich unterschiedliches Erscheinungsbild beider Typen von Bedienblenden.The sequence of the switching and display devices arranged on the carrier boards or operating handles arranged on the control panels is of no importance for the invention. Neither does the number of different types of operating handles and the distances from one another. Deviating from the exemplary embodiments shown, one of the rotary switches 1 or 5 can also be arranged, for example, exactly in the center of rotation of the circuit board or the corresponding surface of the control panel, so that precisely this handle is always arranged in the middle in both types of control panels . On the other hand, different appearances can also result from the fact that in one case the carrier boards are arranged particularly far to the right behind the control panel and in the other case particularly far to the left. A sufficiently clearly different appearance of both types of control panels is decisive for the achievement of the task according to the invention.
Eine im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung mögliche weitere Variation der Anordnung von Bedienungs- und/oder Anzeigeelementen kann darin bestehen, daß zwar auf der Trägerplatine montierte Mikroschalter für Bedienungstasten auch nach der Rotation derA possible further variation of the arrangement of operating and / or display elements within the scope of the present invention can consist in the fact that microswitches for operating buttons mounted on the carrier board also after the rotation of the
Platine im anderen Typ von Bedienblenden an der entsprechend gegenüberliegenden Stelle vorliegen, die Bedienungstasten aber an einer davon leicht abweichenden Stelle in der Bedienblende eingebaut sind und die Mikroschalter durch eine hinter der Bedienblende liegende Betätigungsbrücke (nicht dargestellt) trotzdem noch erreicht werden. Dadurch ist die Spiegelsymmetrie nur noch auf die Reihenfolge der Anordnung der Bedienungshandhaben zu beziehen. Die wenigstens annähernde Spiegelsymmetrie kann aber auch dann erhalten bleiben, wenn die Trägerplatine um einen anderen Winkel als 180°, z.B. um 90°, gedreht eingebaut wird. Selbstverständlich darf dann ihre ursprüngliche Querabmessung nicht größer sein als die neue Höhenabmessung.Circuit board in the other type of control panels on the corresponding opposite Position, but the control buttons are installed in a slightly different position in the control panel and the microswitches can still be reached by an operating bridge (not shown) behind the control panel. As a result, the mirror symmetry can only be related to the order of the arrangement of the operating handles. However, the at least approximate mirror symmetry can also be maintained if the carrier board is installed rotated by an angle other than 180 °, for example by 90 °. Of course, your original transverse dimension must not be larger than the new height dimension.
Weiterhin können - wie in Fig. 2 beispielsweise ebenfalls nur annähernd spiegelsymme- trisch dargestellt - weitere Varianten dadurch gebildet werden, daß Leuchtdioden, die bestimmten Tasten zugeordnet sind, wie beispielweise die Leuchtdioden 9 bis 11 in Fig. 1 , nach der Rotation der Trägerplatine nicht unterhalb der entsprechenden Bedienungstasten der variierten Bedienblende zu liegen kommen, sondern entweder durch eine Bestückungsvariante der Trägerplatine oder durch eine von vornherein redundan- terweise mit zwei Sätzen von Leuchtdioden ausgestattete Trägerplatine an der entsprechend versetzten Stelle wieder oberhalb der Tasten angeordnet sind. In der letztgenannten Ausstattungsform der Trägerplatine kann möglicherweise die doppelte Ausstattung mit Leuchtdioden-Sätzen billiger sein als unterschiedliche Ausstattungsvarianten davon. Zwar sind dann im Prinzip zu viele Leuchtdioden eingeschaltet (mindestens zwei, wenn nur eine leuchten soll), jedoch ist die Abstrahlung von Leuchtdioden ins Dunkel hinter der Bedienblende unschädlich.Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 2, for example, also only approximately mirror-symmetrically, further variants can be formed in that light-emitting diodes that are assigned to specific keys, such as light-emitting diodes 9 to 11 in FIG. 1, do not after the carrier board has rotated come to rest below the corresponding control buttons of the varied control panel, but are arranged again either above by an assembly variant of the support board or by a support board redundantly equipped with two sets of light-emitting diodes from the outset at the correspondingly offset position above the buttons. In the latter configuration of the carrier board, the double configuration with light-emitting diode sets can possibly be cheaper than different configuration variants thereof. In principle, too many LEDs are switched on (at least two if only one is to light up), but the emission of LEDs into the dark behind the control panel is harmless.
Eine Abwandlung ist aber auch dadurch möglich, daß wie in Fig. 2 in die Tasten 6 bis 8 Lichtleiter 15 bis 17 eingebaut sind, deren Lichteintrittsflächen zu den auf der Trägerpla- tine 14 möglicherweise sogar neben den Tasten angeordneten Leuchtdioden hin gewandt sind. However, a modification is also possible in that, as in FIG. 2, light guides 15 to 17 are installed in the buttons 6 to 8, the light entry surfaces of which face the light-emitting diodes possibly arranged on the carrier board 14 next to the buttons.
