Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a display element for a household appliance according to the preamble of patent claim 1, and a method for producing a display element.
  • a residual heat indicator for a cooking hob comprises a display housing and a light source for illuminating an inner part of the display housing. A surface of the residual heat indicator is printed with an alarm symbol.
  • An electric household appliance with a display device is known.
  • An aperture of the household electrical appliance has a display device for optical operator information.
  • a region provided for the display device at least one transillumination region is created, in which the material thickness of the diaphragm material is reduced compared to the remaining material thickness.
  • a light distribution element between the lighting element and the display symbol mask.
  • the lighting element is completely enclosed by the light distribution element in the form of a cuboid, milky injection molding compound.
  • the display symbol mask is then arranged on the resulting illuminated field.
  • the injection molding compound is injected into a white frame, which serves as a boundary for the light distribution element and at the same time as a reflector.
  • An object of the present invention is to reduce the manufacturing cost of a household appliance with such a display element.
  • the complete gap between the luminous element and the display symbol mask does not have to be filled with a light distribution element. Rather, it is sufficient if the light distribution element is immediately adjacent to the display symbol mask. It is therefore provided according to the invention that the display symbol mask and the light distribution element form a cover element which is arranged at a distance from the luminous element. In other words, the light distribution element does not directly adjoin the luminous element, as is customary in the prior art. Rather, there is a gap between these two components, which does not have to be filled by the light distribution element. Due to this gap positioning of the cover is variable and independent of the position of the light element possible. As a result, the assembly of the cover is very easy to carry out.
  • the present invention leads to a significant material savings in the light distribution element, so that a cost reduction in the production of such display elements is achieved. At the same time, the total production costs of household appliances are thus reduced, in which such a display element is used.
  • Display icon mask and light distribution element may communicate with each other in various ways to form the cover element.
  • the light distribution element it is possible for the light distribution element to be present in the form of a foil or plate or the like and to be adhesively bonded, welded, riveted or otherwise connected in a positive and / or non-positive manner to the display symbol mask.
  • the carrier body of the cover is formed by the light distribution element.
  • the display symbol mask is applied in the form of a coating on the outside facing away from the light-emitting element.
  • an opaque, laser-processable lacquer for coating is used to form the display symbol mask used.
  • a subsequent laser processing of the paint takes place in the manufacture of the display element, a removal of the desired display symbol in the paint.
  • the light emanating from the luminous element during operation is then distributed uniformly through the transparent carrier body and emerges as diffused light through the display symbol mask.
  • carrier body and coating remain the same. Only the symbol shape to be introduced into the paint by laser processing changes. Therefore, only a single display element basic shape is required. Manufacturing and storage costs are significantly reduced. In addition, all symbol shapes can be represented in a paint layer during the production of the display symbol mask. A consideration of the possibly in the prior art to be observed holding or intermediate webs in the formation of individual display symbols by punching or the like is not necessary. Finally, the production of such display elements can be changed to a different display symbol within a very short time. For this purpose, only a modified control of the laser processing system is required. If appropriate Control display elements can be manufactured with a variety of display symbols in any order.
  • the additional light distribution element in addition to the light distribution element provided in the cover element.
  • the additional light distribution element is preferably arranged directly on the luminous element.
  • the luminous element is - as known from the prior art - embedded in this additional light distribution element.
  • the generation of a diffused light can already be effected by the additional light distribution element, while the first light distribution element merely serves to uniformly distribute the light.
  • the first light distribution element can then be designed, for example, as a substantially thinner layer and / or produced from a different material.
  • the insides of the cover member are completely covered with the light distribution member.
  • the light distribution element thus acts in conjunction with the underlying opaque display symbol mask as a kind of reflector for that of the Light emitting element light. Additional reflectors, as known from the prior art, are not required, so that the number of required components is reduced.
  • the cover element has a substantially closed cover element interior.
  • the cover itself is designed as a closed component.
  • the attachment of the cover on a circuit board or the like is preferably made light-tight. This ensures that a particularly high proportion of the light emitted by the luminous element is available on the display symbol mask.
  • the cover is fastened with its carrier body on a printed circuit board or the like.
  • the carrier body is designed for attachment to the printed circuit board or the like.
  • the carrier body has a number of connector pins for forming a plug connection with the printed circuit board or the like.
  • the basic structure of a hob 1 shows FIG. 1 in a highly simplified schematic representation.
  • the cooktop 1 has operating elements 2 with an operating symbol imprint 3 on the surface of a glass-ceramic cooking plate 4 and a contactless switching device 5 arranged underneath the cooking plate 4 below the operating symbol imprint 3.
  • the desired operation is detected by the switching device 5 and a corresponding action of the hob 1 is carried out.
  • the switching device 5 is contacted on a arranged below the cooking plate 4 circuit board 6.
  • a non-inventive display element 11 is arranged on the circuit board 6, a non-inventive display element 11 is arranged. This has a display symbol mask 12 and a light distribution element 13 arranged between luminous element 8 and display symbol mask 12. Display symbol mask 12 and light distribution element 13 form a cover element 14 spaced from the light-emitting element 8. When the light-emitting element 8 is in operation, a display symbol corresponding to the display symbol mask 10 is visible from above through the cooking plate 4. Thus, for example, in a triggered by touching the Whywerksymbolbedruckung 3 action of the hob 1, a corresponding control icon is displayed.
  • a luminous element 8 for the display element 11 is a light emitting diode (SMD LED) is used, which is mounted on a circuit board 6, namely plugged.
  • the cap-shaped cover member 14 limits the distance 15 between the luminous element 8 and the display symbol mask 12 and between the luminous element 8 and the side walls 16.
  • the closed side walls 16 of the light distribution element 13 extend to the circuit board 6.
  • the cover element interior 18 is substantially light-tight.
  • the side walls 16 and the rest of the Abdeckelementinnenraum 18 bounding surfaces have a white surface 17 and reflect the light of the light-emitting element 8 in the Abdeckelementinnenraum 18.
  • the display symbol mask 12 serves as a carrier body of the cover 14 and has material breakthroughs 19, through which the emitted light from the light emitting element 8 from the display element 11 to the outside.
  • the extending to the circuit board 6 wall portions of the display symbol mask 12 have at their support ends connecting pins 29 which eino in corresponding communication holes 30 in the circuit board 6 to form a press fit.
  • the display symbol mask 12 is coated on its inner side 20 facing the luminous element 8 with light distribution element 13.
  • the light distribution element 13 ensures a uniform distribution of light on the display symbol mask 12.
  • the coating material used is a transparent, milky plastic. The coating is applied to the display symbol mask 12 by painting.
  • FIG. 2 1 shows an embodiment with the display element 21 according to the invention.
  • This display element 21 also has a display symbol mask 22 and a light distribution element 23 arranged between the luminous element 8 and the display symbol mask 22.
  • Display symbol mask 22 and light distribution element 23 form a cover element 24 spaced from the light-emitting element 8.
  • the support body of the cover element 24 is now formed by the light distribution element 23, while the display symbol mask 22 is applied on the outside 28 of the support body facing away from the light-emitting element 8 in the form of a lacquer.
  • the paint is removed by a laser (not shown), so that the desired display symbol is present as a defect 25 in the paint.
  • the closed side walls 26 of the light distribution element 23 in turn reach up to the printed circuit board 6 and have, like the rest of the Abdeckelementinnenraum 18 bounding surfaces on a white surface 27, so that they reflect the light of the luminous element 8 in the Abdeckelementinnenraum 18.
  • the extending to the circuit board 6 wall portions of the light distribution element 23 have at their support ends connecting pins 29 which eino in corresponding communication holes 30 in the circuit board 6 to form a press fit.
  • FIG. 3 represents a further embodiment with a further, not according to the invention display element 31.
  • the display element 31 has a display symbol mask 12 and an intermediate Luminous element 8 and display symbol 12 arranged light distribution element 13.
  • Display symbol mask 12 and light distribution element 13 form a spaced from the light emitting element 8 cover 14 in the manner of in FIG. 2
  • a second light distribution member 32 is mounted above the light emitting element 8. The second light distribution element 32, since it no longer fulfills any further functions, for example as a carrier of an indicator symbol mask or the like, does not have to have a geometrically exact shape.
  • the second light distribution element 32 can also be applied to the luminous element 8 as an irregular drop or dab, resulting in a very low production outlay.
  • the distance 15 in the cover element interior 18 is reduced by the second light distribution element 32.
  • the light distribution element 13 is still at a distance from the luminous element 8.
