Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine kastenförmige Bedienblende für ein Haushaltgerät, mit einer Frontfläche und mindestens drei Seitenflächen.The invention relates to a box-shaped control panel for a household appliance, with a front surface and at least three side surfaces.

Insbesondere bei Haushaltsgeräten, welche als Einbaugeräte in Küchen verwendet werden (Geschirrspüler, Herde) besteht der Wunsch, diese mit einer Bedienblende aus Metall, vorzugsweise aus Edelstahl auszustatten, um den Geräten ein hochwertiges Aussehen zu verleihen.In particular, in household appliances, which are used as built-in appliances in kitchens (dishwashers, stoves), there is a desire to equip them with a control panel made of metal, preferably stainless steel, to give the devices a high-quality appearance.

Bei einem von der Anmelderin hergestellten und vertriebenen Geschirrspüler G 601 Sci PLUS ist die Bedienblende mit einer ebenen Frontfläche ausgestattet, welche lediglich Öffnungen für die Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente, für einen Türgriff und für einen Gebläseauslass besitzt. Da sich die Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente in der Regel unterhalb des Höhenniveaus einer Arbeitsplatte befinden, sind sie von einem aufrecht stehenden Benutzer nur schwer einzusehen. Vollständig geneigte Bedienblenden können bei Einbaugeräten nicht eingesetzt werden, da dann die seitlichen Außenflächen der Möbel, die das Einbaugerät umgeben, sichtbar sind. Es sind deshalb Bedienblenden bekannt, bei denen derjenige Teil, welcher die Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente beinhaltet, abgeschrägt ist. Solche Blenden sind aus Metall nur schwer einstückig herstellbar, da die hierfür erforderliche Ziehoperation zu großen, optisch nicht akzeptablen Radien im Bedien-/ Anzeigebereich führen würde.In a manufactured and marketed by the Applicant dishwasher G 601 Sci PLUS the control panel is equipped with a flat front surface, which has only openings for the control and display elements, for a door handle and for a blower outlet. Since the operating and display elements are usually below the height level of a worktop, they are difficult to see by an upright user. Completely tilted control panels can not be used on built-in appliances, because then the side outer surfaces of the furniture surrounding the built-in unit are visible. There are therefore control panels are known in which the part which includes the control and display elements, is chamfered. Such diaphragms are difficult to produce in one piece from metal, since the required pulling operation would lead to large, optically unacceptable radii in the control / display area.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, eine Bedienblende der eingangs genannten Art zu offenbaren, bei welcher die sichtbaren Teile aus Metall (vorzugsweise Edelstahl) bestehen und welche trotzdem einfach zu fertigen ist.The invention thus raises the problem to disclose a control panel of the type mentioned, in which the visible parts made of metal (preferably stainless steel) and which is still easy to manufacture.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch eine Bedienblende mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a control panel having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen darin, dass auf einfache Weise eine Bedienblende in Edelstahloptik ohne komplizierte Tiefziehoperationen hergestellt werden kann.The achievable with the invention advantages are that in a simple way, a control panel in stainless steel look without complicated deep drawing operations can be made.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausführungsform verläuft der zurückversetzte Teil ausgehend von seiner Unterkante bis zu seiner Oberkante schräg nach hinten. Hierdurch kann der vor dem Gerät stehende Benutzer die Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente besser sehen.In an advantageous embodiment, the recessed portion extends from its lower edge to its upper edge obliquely backwards. This allows the user standing in front of the device to better see the controls and indicators.

Es ist außerdem vorteilhaft, wenn die Befestigung des Schaltschildes durch eine Klebeverbindung erfolgt, da diese während des Montageprozesses schnell und ohne Hilfsmittel durchgeführt werden kann. Dabei ist es zweckmäßig, zur Herstellung der Klebeverbindung eine Klebefolie zu verwenden.It is also advantageous if the attachment of the circuit board is done by an adhesive bond, as these during the assembly process quickly and without tools can be carried out. It is expedient to use an adhesive film for the preparation of the adhesive bond.

Das Einsatzteil 2 besitzt einen umlaufenden Außenrahmen 3 und eine gegenüber der Frontseite 5 des Rahmens 3 zurückversetzte Halteplatte 4, welche ausgehend von ihrer Unterkante 6 bis zu ihrer Oberkante 7 schräg nach hinten verläuft und damit die Grundlage für eine Bedienblende 1 mit einem geneigten Schalt-und Anzeigebereich bildet. In der Halteplatte 4 sind unterschiedlich geformte Durchbrüche 8 für Schaltstößel und Anzeigeelemente (nicht dargestellt) aus dem dahinterliegenden Elektronikgehäuse vorhanden.The control panel 1 includes a made of plastic insert 2, which serves as a carrier of the aperture parts described below. The insert 2 has a peripheral outer frame 3 and a relation to the front side 5 of the frame 3 set back plate 4, which extends from its lower edge 6 to its upper edge 7 obliquely backwards and thus the basis for a control panel 1 with an inclined switching and Display area forms. In the holding plate 4 differently shaped openings 8 for switching plunger and display elements (not shown) from the underlying electronics housing available.

Am Einsatzteil 2 wird ein aus Edelstahl gefertigter Blendenrahmen 9 befestigt. Dieser besteht aus einem bei geschlossener Tür vertikal ausgerichteten Frontteil 10, welches eine zentrale Öffnung 11 besitzt und hierdurch den Rahmen bildet. Im oberen Bereich ist eine Wölbung 12 vorhanden, hinter der sich ein Griffeinsatz (nicht dargestellt) befindet. Der zur Öffnung gerichtete Rand 13 ist, wie Figur 4 zeigt, nach innen gebogen. Durch eine erste Abkantung werden Seitenflächen 14 bis 17 gebildet. Die rechte 14 und linke 15 Seite ist geschlossen, in der Oberseite 16 ist hinter der Wölbung 12 ein Ausschnitt 18 angeordnet, in den eine nach innen gewölbte Griffmulde 19 eingeklebt ist. In der Unterseite 17 befinden sich rechteckige Öffnungen 20, deren Funktion später erklärt ist. Durch eine zweite Abkantung der Oberseite und der rechten und linken Seite wird unter Ausbildung einer Nut 21 ein Halterand 22 erzeugt, über den die Bedienblende 1 mit dem nicht gezeigten Türinnenblech verschraubt wird. Hierzu sind entsprechende Aussparungen 23 vorgesehen. Zur Befestigung des Einsatzteils 2 im Blendenrahmen 9 wird dieses zunächst in den Blendenrahmen 9 gedrückt, bis Rasthaken 26 an seinem unteren Rand 27 in die Öffnungen 20 greifen (s. Fig. 4). Anschließend werden Klemmstücke 24 mit einem Vorsprung 25 in die Nut 21 gedrückt und zum oberen Rand 28 des Einsatzteil-Außenrahmens 3 hin gekippt. Hierfür sind Aussparungen 34 vorgesehen. Anschließend werden die Klemmstücke seitlich verschoben, so dass ihr Rand 35 in am Einsatzteil vorgesehene Nuten 36 eingreift.On insert 2 a made of stainless steel aperture frame 9 is attached. This consists of a vertically aligned with the door closed front part 10, which has a central opening 11 and thereby forms the frame. In the upper part of a curvature 12 is present, behind which a handle insert (not shown) is located. As shown in FIG. 4, the edge 13 facing the opening is bent inwards. By a first fold side surfaces 14 to 17 are formed. The right 14 and left 15 side is closed, in the top 16 behind the buckle 12, a cutout 18 is arranged, in which an inwardly curved handle recess 19 is glued. In the bottom 17 are rectangular openings 20, whose function is explained later. By a second fold of the top and the right and left sides of a retaining edge 22 is formed to form a groove 21, via which the control panel 1 is screwed to the door inner panel, not shown. For this purpose, corresponding recesses 23 are provided. For attachment of the insert part 2 in the frame 9, this is first pressed into the panel frame 9 until the latch hook 26 at its lower edge 27 engage in the openings 20 (see Fig. 4). Subsequently, clamping pieces 24 are pressed with a projection 25 in the groove 21 and tilted to the upper edge 28 of the insert outer frame 3 out. For this purpose recesses 34 are provided. Subsequently, the clamping pieces are laterally displaced, so that their edge 35 engages in grooves 36 provided on the insert.
