According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the information is transmitted from the program control of the household appliance to the transmitting device in the form of electrical signals via the household power grid.
[010] Die Sendeeinrichtung ist mit dem Hausstromnetz elektrisch verbunden und erhält die auf das Haushaltsgerät bezogenen Informationen durch die elektrischen Signale aus dem Hausstromnetz. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es daher, wenn die Sendeeinrichtung in einem Netzstecker für das Hausstromnetz ausgebildet ist. Die Ausbildung der Sendeeinrichtung als ein an das Hausstromnetz anschließbaren Netzstecker ermöglicht einen nahezu beliebigen Einsatzort für die Sendeeinrichtung, an dem die von dem Haushaltsgerät in das Hausstromnetz eingespeisten Signale von der Sendeeinrichtung noch identifizierbar werden können, und erhöht damit die Reichweite der Übertragung der Informationen vom Haushaltsgerät an die Anzeigevorrichtung.[010] The transmitting device is electrically connected to the house power network and receives the information related to the household appliance by the electrical signals from the house power network. It is therefore particularly advantageous if the transmitting device is formed in a power plug for the house power network. The design of the transmitting device as a connectable to the house power network power plug allows almost any location for the transmitting device to which the fed from the household appliance in the house power network signals from the transmitting device can still be identified, and thus increases the range of transmission of information from the home appliance to the display device.
[011] Bei einer weiteren bevorzugten Ausführangsform der vorliegenden Erfindung ist die Sendeeinrichtung von der Anzeigevorrichtung räumlich trennbar und über eine Kupplung mechanisch miteinander koppelbar. Auf diese Weise kann die Sendeeinrichtung in einer Steckdose des Hausstromnetzes verbleiben, während die Anzeigevorrichtung zusammen mit der Empfängereinrichtung davon lösbar ist, so dass die Empfängereinrichtung und die Anzeigevorrichtung als eine Einheit von einer Bedienperson bequem mitgefühlt werden kann. Die Übertragung der Informationen von der Sendeeinrichtung an die der Anzeigevorrichtung zugeordnete Empfängereinrichtung erfolgt zweckmäßigerweise über eine Funkverbindung mittels elektromagnetischer Wellen. Anhand der mitgeführten Anzeigevorrichtung kann sich die Bedienperson dann jederzeit einen aktuellen Überbück beispielsweise über den Betriebszustand oder die Programmrestlaufzeit der mit der Anzeigevorrichtung verbundenen Haushaltsgeräte verschaffen.In a further preferred Ausführangsform of the present invention, the transmitting device of the display device is spatially separable and mechanically coupled to one another via a coupling. In this way, the transmitting device may remain in a socket of the household power network while the display device together with the receiver device is detachable therefrom, so that the receiver device and the display device can be comfortably felt as one unit by an operator.
