Description

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 Anbnngung 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 Housing, in particular for washing machines and tumble dryers, with at least two types of with right-to-left operation handles organized control panels and one intended to be attached behind the control panel Carrier board for at least one that can be actuated by one of the operating handles Switching device.

Ein solches Schaltpult ist durch DE 35 42 503 A1 bekannt. Darin sind mehrere Bedienungshandhaben 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. There are several operating handles in it arranged in the form of rotary switches and buttons, with which different Program inputs for a program-controlled household appliance, for example a washing machine that can be carried out. Such control panels contain behind the control panel visible from the outside is a carrier board, on the corresponding switchgear for the operating handles and display elements.

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 Anzeigeelemente.If there are different sets of household appliances in one manufacturer's program Type, for example of washing machines, with visually distinct control panels to be equipped, then the known design of control panels required 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 invention has for its object for at least two types of control panels For different rows of household appliances, the number of individual parts for each one to be made available Minimize control panel kits, so by standardizing Rationalization effects can be achieved with individual parts through higher 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 spiegelsymmetrisch ist. According to the invention this object is achieved in that for the kit with at least one two types of control panel provided only one type of carrier boards and the organization of the handling of the two types of Control panels are at least approximately mirror-symmetrical to each other.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Losung 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.The solution according to the invention can be used for two control panels that appear different a single type of carrier boards may be provided behind a type of Control panels in one position and behind the other type of control panels in one order for example, 180 ° rotated position (rotationally symmetrical) is arranged. Thereby Both types of control panels result in a different organization of the Sequence of operations provided on the control panel.

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 in the sense of the above task, it is of particular advantage if in one type of control panels the rotary handle to the right of the center and in the other type to the left of the middle. The appearances of these two types of operating handles differ most in that a visually striking operating handle is clearly visible in a different place than the other Type of control 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 eingebauter Trägerplatine beispielsweise von links nach rechts in derselben Reihenfolge organisiert sind.Further variations in the appearance can be advantageous by another Achieve further development of the invention in the case of further switching devices on the carrier board are arranged, their operating handles (buttons, rotary switches) in one Installation position of the carrier board in a sequence from right to left for one type of control panels and for the other type when installed after rotation Carrier board, for example, from left to right in the same order are organized.

Anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels für zwei optisch unterschiedliche Schaltpulte ist die Erfindung nachstehend erläutert.Using an embodiment shown in the drawing for two optically different Control panels, the invention is explained below.

Es zeigen

Fig. 2
die Frontfläche einer Bedienblende für eine andere Reihe von Waschmaschinen desselben Herstellers.
Show it
Fig. 1
the front surface, a control panel for a washing machine series from a manufacturer and
Fig. 2
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 und 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.The control panels contain visible on their front surface in Fig. 1 from right to left a rotary switch 1, three superimposed optical display elements 2, 3 and 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, welche nicht mit der Trägerplatine 14 zusammenwirkt und daher keine Bedienungshandhabe im Sinne der Erfindung darstellt.In the control panel shown in FIG. 2, the same sequence of operating procedures is used organized from left to right. Both also contain control panels each have a handle plate 13 for a detergent drawer arranged behind it, which does not interact with the carrier board 14 and therefore does not constitute an operating handle in the sense of the invention.

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 Trägerplatine 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 is the one behind it with dashed lines Carrier plate 14 indicated. Behind the operating handles 1, 5 to 8 and 12 of the control panel are corresponding switching and display devices on the carrier board 14 mounted. In the same way, the carrier board 14 is behind the control panel of the Type 2 assembled in Fig. 2, with the difference that the carrier board 14 in Fig. 2nd is installed exactly 180 ° with respect to the one rotated in FIG. 1 (rotationally symmetrical). As a result, the display elements 2 to 4 are viewed from top to bottom in FIG reverse order, which may be wanted. But should the original Order are retained or reorganized at all, then the Display elements - incidentally also the operating handles (e.g. the buttons), if desired - to be reorganized by software adaptation.

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 Bedienblende angeordnet sein, so daß gerade diese Handhabe bei beiden Typen von Bedienblenden immer in der Mitte angeordnet ist. Andererseits können aber auch dadurch zusatzlich 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 has for the invention basically no meaning. Neither does the number of different types of Handling and the distances to each other. Deviating from the shown However, exemplary embodiments can also be, for example, one of the rotary switches 1 or 5 exactly in the center of rotation of the board or the corresponding surface of the control panel be arranged so that just this handle in both types of Control panels are always arranged in the middle. On the other hand, it can also in addition, different appearances arise that the carrier boards in one case particularly far to the right behind the control panel and in another case are arranged particularly far to the left. Crucial for fulfillment the object of the invention is a sufficiently clearly different appearance both types of control panels.

Eine im Rahmen der vorliegenden Erfindung mögliche weitere Variation der Anordnung von Bedienungs- und/oder Anzeigeelementen kann dann bestehen, daß zwar auf der Trägerplatine montierte Mikroschalter für Bedienungstasten auch nach der Rotation der 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.Another possible variation of the arrangement within the scope of the present invention of controls and / or display elements can then exist that on the Carrier board mounted microswitch for control buttons even after the rotation of the Circuit board in the other type of control panels on the corresponding opposite Position, but the control buttons in a slightly different position in the control panel are installed and the microswitch by a behind the control panel lying actuating bridge (not shown) can still be reached. As a result, the mirror symmetry is only based on the order of the arrangement of the operating handles to acquire. The at least approximate mirror symmetry can but are retained even if the carrier board is at an angle other than 180 °, e.g. is installed rotated by 90 °. Of course, your original one Transverse dimension must not be greater than the new height dimension.

Weiterhin können - wie in Fig. 2 beispielsweise ebenfalls nur annähernd spiegelsymmetnsch 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 redundanterweise 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 in FIG. 2, for example, also only approximately mirror-symmetric shown - further variants are formed in that light-emitting diodes are assigned to certain keys, such as LEDs 9 to 11 in FIG. 1, after rotating the carrier board not below the corresponding control buttons the varied control panel come to rest, but either through an assembly variant of the carrier board or redundantly from the outset Carrier board equipped with two sets of light-emitting diodes on the corresponding are again arranged above the keys. In the latter Equipment form of the carrier board can possibly double the equipment with LED sets can be cheaper than different equipment variants from that. In principle, too many LEDs are then switched on (at least two, if only one should shine), however, the emission of light-emitting diodes is in the dark harmless behind the control panel.

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 Trägerplatine 14 möglicherweise sogar neben den Tasten angeordneten Leuchtdioden hin gewandt sind.A modification is also possible in that, as in FIG. 2, keys 6 to 8 Light guides 15 to 17 are installed, whose light entry surfaces to those on the carrier board 14 may even face LEDs arranged next to the buttons are.
