Description

Beschreibungdescription
Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere Haushalt-Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer steuerbaren BetriebsanzeigeDishwasher, in particular domestic dishwasher with a controllable operating display
[0001] Die Erfindung betrifft eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere eine Haushalt- Geschirrspülmaschine, mit einer steuerbaren Betriebsanzeige, die eine oder mehrere Illuminationselemente zur Abgabe von Lichtstrahlen aufweist.The invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a domestic dishwasher, with a controllable operating display, which has one or more illumination elements for emitting light rays.
[0002] Es sind verschiedene Haushaltgeräte bekannt, deren gesamte Frontfläche mit einer Gerätefrontverkleidung versehen ist, welche an umgebende Möbelfronten angepasst sein kann. Solche Haushaltgeräte sind z. B. Herde, Kältegeräte und Geschirrspülmaschinen. Bei einem vollintegrierbaren Haushaltgerät besteht das Problem, dass eine optische Betriebsanzeige bei einer geschlossenen Vordertür des vollintegrierbaren Haushaltgeräts durch die Gerätefrontverkleidung verborgen ist, so dass der Betriebszustand des vollintegrierbaren Haushaltgerät nicht überprüfbar ist.There are various household appliances are known, the entire front surface is provided with a front panel, which can be adapted to surrounding furniture fronts. Such household appliances are z. As stoves, refrigerators and dishwashers. In a fully integrated household appliance, the problem is that an optical power indicator is hidden in a closed front door of fully integrated household appliance through the front panel, so that the operating state of the fully integrated household appliance is not verifiable.
[0003] In der DE 100 22 206 C2 ist eine einbaufähige Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer schwenkbaren Gerätetür beschrieben, die auf ihrer oberen Stirnfläche eine optische Betriebsanzeige mit einer oder mehreren Lichtquellen aufweist, welche bei geschlossener Gerätetür von einer, oben auf der Geschirrspülmaschine aufliegenden, Arbeitsplatte überdeckt werden. Dort ist ein Lichtleiter mit einem an der Arbeitsplattenunterseite über der Gerätetür lagefixierten Wrasenschutzelement verbunden, welcher das Signallicht der überdeckten optischen Betriebsanzeige zur Gerätefrontseite lenkt. Der Nachteil besteht darin, dass das Signallicht im Lichtleiter für einen Benutzer, der vor dem Einbau-Haushaltgerät bzw. der Geschirrspülmaschine steht, schlecht sichtbar ist, da sich der Lichtleiter in einem Spalt zwischen Arbeitsplattenunterseite und Gerätetürrand befindet und von oben von der Arbeitsplatte abgedeckt wird. Insbesondere wird ein Erkennen des Signallichts bei Verwendung einer Gerätefrontverkleidung großer Stärke erschwert, da auf diese Weise der Lichtleiter zusätzlich von unten durch die Gerätefrontverkleidung abgedeckt wird.In DE 100 22 206 C2 discloses a built-in dishwasher is described with a hinged door, which has on its upper face an optical power indicator with one or more light sources, which covered with the door closed by a, resting on top of the dishwasher, worktop become. There, a light guide is connected to a position fixed to the worktop base over the door fume protection element, which directs the signal light of the overlaid optical operating indicator to the front of the device. The disadvantage is that the signal light in the light guide for a user who is in front of the built-in household appliance or the dishwasher is poorly visible, since the light guide is in a gap between worktop underside and door edge and is covered from above by the worktop , In particular, detection of the signal light when using a device front panel of great strength is made more difficult since in this way the light conductor is additionally covered from below by the front panel of the device.
[0004] Um die Sichtbarkeit des Signallichts wenigstens einer optischen Betriebsanzeige zu verbessern, schlägt die DE 102 59 764 A1 vor, den Lichtleiter derart auszubilden, dass sein Lichtleitweg an die Stärke des Abdeckelements anpassbar ist. Der Lichtleiter kann hierzu relativ zur optischen Betriebsanzeige verschiebbar sein. Nachteilig daran ist, dass das aus dem Lichtleiter ausgekoppelte Licht in Abhängigkeit der Position zu der Lichtquelle unterschiedlich sein kann, so dass unter Umständen die Sichtbarkeit der Betriebsanzeige verschlechtert ist. [0005] Aus der DE 103 03 354 A1 ist eine Leuchte mit in Reihe angeordneten Leuchtdioden bekannt, wobei die Leuchte als Arbeitsplattenkantenstück, insbesondere als Küchen-Arbeitsplattenkantenstück ausgebildet ist, an deren Unterseite die Leuchtdioden angeordnet sind. Die Leuchte kann auch als Profilleiste ausgebildet sein, welche im Sockelrücksprung eines oder mehrerer Schrankmöbel, insbesondere Küchen-Unterschränke, befestigt ist. Bezweckt wird eine gute Ausleuchtung des Fußbodens sowie im Falle des Arbeitsplattenkantenstücks eine Ausleuchtung der Schrankfronten sowie zusätzlich eine Ausleuchtung von Schubladen oder anderen Einbauteilen.In order to improve the visibility of the signal light at least one optical operating indicator, DE 102 59 764 A1 proposes to form the light guide such that its Lichtleitweg is adaptable to the strength of the cover. For this purpose, the light guide can be displaceable relative to the optical operating display. The disadvantage of this is that the coupled out of the light guide light can be different depending on the position of the light source, so that under certain circumstances, the visibility of the power indicator is deteriorated. From DE 103 03 354 A1 a light with arranged in series light-emitting diodes is known, wherein the lamp is designed as a worktop edge piece, in particular as a kitchen worktop edge piece, on the underside of the light-emitting diodes are arranged. The lamp can also be designed as a profile strip, which is fixed in the base recess of one or more cupboard furniture, especially kitchen base cabinets. The aim is to provide a good illumination of the floor and, in the case of the worktop edge piece, an illumination of the cabinet fronts as well as an illumination of drawers or other built-in components.
[0006] Um während des Betriebs des Haushaltgeräts den aktuellen Status eines Programmablaufs ohne großen Aufwand zu erfahren, den Betrieb des Haushaltgeräts zu beeinträchtigen oder zu unterbrechen, schlägt die DE 101 44 668 eine Betriebsablaufanzeige in Form eines Leuchtbandes für eine Waschmaschine vor, das aus einer größeren Anzahl von Leuchtelementen besteht, wobei mit fortschreitendem Ablauf des Waschprogramms oder mit zunehmender Rotationsgeschwindigkeit der Waschtrommel eine wachsende Anzahl von Leuchtelementen des Leuchtbandes aufleuchtet.To experience during operation of the household appliance, the current status of a program flow without much effort to affect the operation of the household appliance or interrupting, proposes the DE 101 44 668 an operational display in the form of a light strip for a washing machine, which consists of a larger number of light-emitting elements, with the progress of the washing program or with increasing rotational speed of the washing drum a growing number of light elements of the light strip illuminates.
[0007] Ferner ist aus der DE 10 2004 019 329.0 der Anmelderin eine steuerbare Betriebsablaufanzeige mit einer Anzahl von Illuminationselementen bekannt, wobei die Leuchtintensität der einzelnen Illuminationselemente in Abhängigkeit vom Betrieb der Geschirrspülmaschine gesteuert wird. Die Illuminationselemente der Betriebsablaufanzeige sind in einer Seitenfläche der Geschirrspülmaschine oder in der Umrandung einer Fronttür der Geschirrspülmaschine angeordnet, wobei die Abstrahlung der von den Illuminationselementen erzeugten Lichtstrahlen zumindest teilweise indirekt erfolgen kann. Die Anordnung der Illuminationselemente im seitlichen Bereich der Geschirrspülmaschine hat zur Folge, dass die Spalten zwischen der Geschirrspülmaschine und den benachbarten Schrankkomponenten oder Haushaltmaschinen bei aufleuchtenden Illuminationselementen ausgeleuchtet werden. Bei aufleuchtenden Illuminationselementen sind die Umrisse der Geschirrspülmaschine demgemäß entsprechend dem Fortschritt des Programmablaufs zu erkennen.Furthermore, DE 10 2004 019 329.0 of the Applicant discloses a controllable operational sequence display with a number of illumination elements, wherein the illumination intensity of the individual illumination elements is controlled as a function of the operation of the dishwasher. The illumination elements of the operational display are arranged in a side surface of the dishwasher or in the border of a front door of the dishwasher, wherein the radiation of the light beams generated by the illumination elements can be at least partially indirect. The arrangement of the Illuminationselemente in the lateral area of the dishwasher has the consequence that the gaps between the dishwasher and the adjacent cabinet components or household appliances are illuminated with illuminating Illuminationselementen. With illuminating Illuminationselementen the outlines of the dishwasher are accordingly recognize according to the progress of the program flow.
[0008] Es ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer Betriebsanzeige zu schaffen, welche die aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Anordnungen weiter fortbildet. Dabei soll insbesondere eine gute Sichtbarkeit der Betriebsanzeige sichergestellt sein. [0009] Diese Aufgabe wird durch die erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine mit den Merkmalen gemäß Patentanspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen.It is an object of the present invention to provide a dishwasher with a power indicator, which further developments known from the prior art arrangements. In particular, good visibility of the operating display should be ensured. This object is achieved by the dishwasher according to the invention with the features according to claim 1. Advantageous developments emerge from the dependent claims.
[0010] Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrspülmaschine ist bei einem Mangel eines für den regulären Betrieb notwendigen Zuschlagmittels ein intermittierender Betrieb einer Anzahl oder sämtlicher Illuminationselemente einer steuerbaren Betriebsanzeige bewirkbar.In a dishwasher according to the invention in the absence of a necessary for regular operation supplement means an intermittent operation of a number or all Illuminationselemente a controllable operation indicator can be effected.
[0011] Auf diese Weise kann dem Nutzer auf einfach erkennbare Weise der Mangel eines Zuschlagmittels für den Betrieb der Geschirrspülmaschine angezeigt werden. Aufgrund des intermittierenden Betriebes der Illuminationselemente wird beim Nutzer eine größere Aufmerksamkeit hervorgerufen, im Vergleich zu einer Betriebsanzeige, welche den Mangel eines Zuschlagmittels unter Verwendung einer im Wesentlichen gleichförmigen Lichtstrahlung signalisiert. Darüber hinaus bringt der intermittierende Betrieb der Illuminationselemente den Vorteil mit sich, dass aufgrund der lediglich kurzzeitigen Lichtabstrahlung eine verringerte Energieaufnahme der Betriebsanzeige notwendig ist.In this way, the user can be displayed in a simple manner the lack of an additive for the operation of the dishwasher. Due to the intermittent operation of the illumination elements, greater attention is given to the user as compared to an operation indication which signals the lack of an additive using substantially uniform light radiation. In addition, the intermittent operation of the illumination elements brings the advantage that due to the only short-term light emission, a reduced power consumption of the operating display is necessary.
[0012] In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der vorliegenden Erfindung dient die Betriebsanzeige auch zur Signalisierung eines Betriebsablaufs oder eines Störfalls der Geschirrspülmaschine, wobei die Leuchtintensität der Illuminationselemente im Falle eines Mangels des Zuschlagmittels von der Leuchtintensität des Betriebsablaufs oder des Störfalls abweicht. Hierdurch wird dem Nutzer zusätzlich zu dem intermittierenden Betrieb eine einfache Unterscheidungsmöglichkeit gegeben, ob ein Mangel eines für den regulären Betrieb notwendigen Zuschlagmittels vorliegt oder ob ein anderer Betriebszustand, z. B. entsprechend dem Fortschritt eines Programmablaufs, angezeigt wird.In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the operation indicator is also used to signal an operation or a malfunction of the dishwasher, wherein the luminous intensity of the Illuminationselemente deviates in the case of a lack of the additive from the luminous intensity of the operation or the accident. In this way, in addition to the intermittent operation, the user is given a simple possibility of distinguishing whether there is a lack of a supplement that is necessary for regular operation or whether another operating state, for B. according to the progress of a program flow is displayed.
[0013] Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform der Erfindung wird die Geschirrspülmaschine im regulären Betrieb mit zumindest zwei Zuschlagmitteln betrieben und die Frequenz des intermittierenden Betriebs der Illuminationselemente ist abhängig von der Art bzw. dem Typ des fehlenden Zuschlagmittels steuerbar. Anhand unterschiedlicher Blinkmuster oder unterschiedlicher Blinkfrequenzen wird für einen Nutzer auf einfache Weise eine Unterscheidung möglich, welches Zuschlagmittel für einen weiteren Betrieb benötigt wird.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the dishwasher is operated in regular operation with at least two additives and the frequency of the intermittent operation of Illuminationselemente is controlled depending on the type or the type of missing additive. On the basis of different flashing patterns or different flashing frequencies a distinction is possible for a user in a simple way, which supplement is needed for further operation.
[0014] Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung ist die Betriebsanzeige durch die Parallelschaltung zumindest zweier, jeweils eine Anzahl an Illuminationselementen aufweisende, Elementzweige gebildet, die zu deren Aktivierung jeweils durch ein steuerbares Schaltelement mit einer Energiequelle verbindbar sind. Hierdurch ist es auf einfache Weise möglich, die Elementzweige und damit die durch die Illuminationselemente gebildete Betriebsanzeige über die Geschirrspülmaschine verteilt zwecks besserer Erkennbarkeit anzuordnen und auf einfache Weise anzusteuern, indem die Schaltelemente, z.B. intermittierend, betätigt werden. Die Illuminationselemente können prinzipiell aus beliebigen Leuchtmitteln bestehen, wobei sich Leuchtdioden (in beliebiger Anzahl und Verschaltung) oder Enden von mit Lichtquellen verbundenen Lichtleitern aufgrund der freien Farbwahl und ihrer einfachen Regelbarkeit besonders gut eignen. Leuchtdioden weisen bekanntlich die Eigenschaft auf, dass die von ihnen abgegebene Lichtstrahlung mit dem durch sie fließenden Strom variiert.According to a further embodiment, the operation indicator is formed by the parallel connection of at least two, each having a number of Illuminationselementen, element branches, which in each case by a controllable switching element can be connected to a power source. As a result, it is possible in a simple manner to arrange the element branches and thus the operating display formed by the illumination elements over the dishwasher for better visibility and to control them in a simple manner, by the switching elements, for example intermittently, being actuated. The Illuminationselemente can in principle consist of any bulbs, with light emitting diodes (in any number and interconnection) or ends of light sources connected to light guides due to the free choice of color and their ease of control are particularly well suited. Light-emitting diodes are known to have the property that the light radiation emitted by them varies with the current flowing through them.
[0015] In Verbindung mit einer Ausgestaltung, in der von der Energiequelle ein festgelegter Strom geliefert wird, unabhängig davon, wie viele der Elementzweige mit der Energiequelle leitend verbunden sind, lässt sich auf einfache Weise die Leuchtintensität der einzelnen Elementzweige in einem intermittierenden Betrieb einstellen. Die Energiequelle kann gemäß dieser Variante als konstante Stromquelle ausgebildet sein. Wird nämlich zumindest einer der Elementzweige von der Energiequelle getrennt, so kann den weiteren, mit der Energiequelle verbundenen Elementzweigen ein größerer Strom zur Verfügung gestellt werden, wodurch in diesen Elementzweigen ein intensiveres Leuchtbild erzeugt ist.In connection with an embodiment in which a fixed current is supplied by the power source, regardless of how many of the element branches are conductively connected to the power source, the luminous intensity of the individual element branches can be set in an intermittent operation in a simple manner. The energy source can be designed according to this variant as a constant current source. Namely, if at least one of the element branches is disconnected from the power source, so the other, connected to the energy source element branches a larger current can be made available, whereby in these element branches a more intense light image is generated.
[0016] Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Betriebsanzeige Illuminationselemente mit unterschiedlicher Farbe auf, wobei vorzugsweise jede Farbe eine andere Anzeigefunktion symbolisiert. So könnte beispielsweise durch eine bestimmte Farbe der Mangel eines bestimmten Zuschlagmittels und durch eine andere Farbe der Mangel eines anderen Zuschlagmittels signalisiert werden. Dabei können gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform die Illuminationselemente zur Abgabe von Lichtstrahlen unterschiedlicher Farben ausgebildet sein.According to a further embodiment, the operation display illumination elements with different color, preferably each color symbolizes a different display function. For example, the lack of a particular additive and a different color could signal the lack of another additive through one particular color. In this case, according to a further embodiment, the illumination elements can be designed to emit light beams of different colors.
[0017] Wird das intermittierende Leuchtbild der Betriebsanzeige, das insbesondere blinkend den Mangel eines Zuschlagmittels signalisiert, gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform durch die Steuerbarkeit der Leuchtintensität der einzelnen Illuminationselemente in Abhängigkeit eines Betriebszustandes des Haushaltsgeräts ergänzt, so kann die Betriebsanzeige auch zur Signalisierung eines Betriebsablaufs oder sonstiger Zustände (z.B. EIN oder AUS) herangezogen werden.If the intermittent light image of the power indicator, which in particular flashing signaled the lack of a supplement, according to another embodiment by the controllability of the luminous intensity of the individual Illuminationselemente depending on an operating state of the domestic appliance, the power indicator can also be used to signal an operation or other States (eg ON or OFF) are used.
[0018] Vorzugsweise erfolgt ein intermittierender Betrieb solcher Illuminationselemente der Betriebsanzeige, die an unterschiedlichen Seiten der Geschirrspülmaschine angeordnet sind. Dies kann durch die Anordnung entsprechender Elementzweige an jeweiligen Seiten der Geschirrspülmaschine realisiert sein. Durch die räumliche Distanz der an unterschiedlichen Seiten der Geschirrspülmaschine angeordneten Illuminationselemente wird der intermittierende Betrieb der Betriebsanzeige auf besonders gute Weise ersichtlich. Insbesondere kann dabei eine intermittierende Ausleuchtung der zwischen der Geschirrspülmaschine und den benachbarten Schrankkomponenten gebildeten Spalte erfolgen.Preferably, there is an intermittent operation of such illumination elements of the operating display, which are arranged on different sides of the dishwasher. This can be achieved by arranging corresponding element branches be realized on respective sides of the dishwasher. Due to the spatial distance of the illumination elements arranged on different sides of the dishwasher, the intermittent operation of the operating display can be seen in a particularly good way. In particular, an intermittent illumination of the gaps formed between the dishwasher and the adjacent cabinet components can take place.
[0019] Die Illuminationselemente der Betriebsanzeige sind vorzugsweise in einer Seitenfläche der Geschirrspülmaschine angeordnet. Diese Anordnung bringt den besonderen optischen Effekt mit sich, dass bei aufleuchtenden Illuminationselementen die Umrisse der Geschirrspülmaschine zumindest teilweise beleuchtet sind. Die Illuminationselemente der Betriebsanzeige können in der Seite einer die Front der Geschirrspülmaschine bildenden Abdeckung angeordnet sein. Zusätzlich oder alternativ können die Illuminationselemente der Betriebsablaufanzeige auch in der Umrandung einer Fronttür der Geschirrspülmaschine angeordnet sein. Insbesondere bei solchen Geschirrspülmaschinen, die beispielsweise in Unterbauweise zwischen weiteren Haushaltmaschinen oder anderen Schrankkomponenten in einer Küchenzeile integriert sind, bietet die Anordnung der Illuminationselemente im seitlichen Bereich der Geschirrspülmaschine den optischen Effekt, dass die Spalten zwischen der Geschirrspülmaschine und den benachbarten Schrankkomponenten oder Haushaltmaschinen bei aufleuchtenden Illuminationselementen gleichmäßiger ausgeleuchtet werden.The illumination elements of the operation indicator are preferably arranged in a side surface of the dishwasher. This arrangement brings with it the special optical effect that, when illuminating illuminating elements, the outlines of the dishwasher are at least partially illuminated. The illumination elements of the operating display can be arranged in the side of a cover forming the front of the dishwasher. Additionally or alternatively, the illumination elements of the operational display can also be arranged in the border of a front door of the dishwasher. In particular, in such dishwashers, which are integrated, for example, in substructure between other household machines or other cabinet components in a kitchenette, the arrangement of Illuminationselemente in the lateral area of the dishwasher has the visual effect that the gaps between the dishwasher and the adjacent cabinet components or household appliances with illuminating Illuminationselementen be illuminated more evenly.

[0024] Fig. 3 ein schematisches Ersatzschaltbild einer Betriebsanzeige zur3 shows a schematic equivalent circuit diagram of an operating display for
Verwendung in einer erfindungsgemäßen Geschirrspülmaschine, anhand der die elektrische Verschaltung hervorgeht. [0025] Fig. 1 zeigt eine teilweise Frontansicht einer Küchenzeile, in der eine erfindungsgemäße Geschirrspülmaschine 1 mit einer Betriebsanzeige integriert ist, und die durch eine Arbeitsplatte 9 abgedeckt ist. Benachbart der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 sind Schrankkomponenten oder Haushaltmaschinen 2 angeordnet, wobei zwischen einer Fronttür 8 der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 und den benachbarten Schrankkomponenten oder der Haushaltmaschinen 2 jeweils ein Spalt 3 und 4 verbleibt.Use in a dishwasher according to the invention, based on the electrical wiring is apparent. Fig. 1 shows a partial front view of a kitchenette, in which a dishwasher 1 according to the invention is integrated with a power indicator, and which is covered by a worktop 9. Adjacent to the dishwasher 1 cabinet components or household machines 2 are arranged, wherein between a front door 8 of the dishwasher 1 and the adjacent cabinet components or household machines 2 each have a gap 3 and 4 remains.
[0026] Die Betriebsanzeige der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 ist gemäß diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durch zwei Illuminationselemente 5 und 6 im oberen Bereich der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 gebildet, die lediglich beispielhaft in einer Seitenfläche der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 und/oder in einer Seite der die Front der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 bildenden Fronttür 8 angeordnet sind. Hinsichtlich einer derart ausgestalteten Anordnung wird auf die DE 10 2004 019 329.0 der Anmelderin verwiesen, deren Inhalt, soweit sinnvoll, in die vorliegende Beschreibung aufgenommen ist.The operation indicator of the dishwasher 1 is formed according to this embodiment by two Illuminationselemente 5 and 6 in the upper region of the dishwasher 1, which only by way of example in a side surface of the dishwasher 1 and / or in one side of the front of the dishwasher 1 forming front door. 8 are arranged. With regard to such an arrangement, reference is made to DE 10 2004 019 329.0 of the Applicant, the contents of which, as far as appropriate, are included in the present description.
[0027] Gemäß einer nicht dargestellten, alternativen Ausgestaltung könnte auch eine Mehrzahl an Illuminationselementen über die gesamte Länge der Spalte 3, 4 verteilt angeordnet sein. Die Illuminationselemente können einzeln durch die Programmsteuerung ansteuerbar sein. Sie können auch (in beliebiger Weise) miteinander elektrisch verschalten sein und zumindest teilweise gemeinsam ansteuerbar sein. Bevorzugt sind zumindest solche Illuminationselemente gemeinsam verschalten, die zur Illumination eines gemeinsamen Spalts angeordnet sind.According to an alternative embodiment not shown, a plurality of illumination elements could be arranged distributed over the entire length of the gaps 3, 4. The illumination elements can be individually controlled by the program control. You can also (in any way) be electrically interconnected and at least partially jointly controllable. Preferably, at least those illumination elements are connected together, which are arranged to illuminate a common gap.
[0028] Gemäß einer weiteren, ebenfalls nicht dargestellten Anordnung können die Illuminationselemente alternativ oder auch zusätzlich im von vorne sichtbaren Bereich der Frontür 8 angeordnet sein.According to a further arrangement, also not shown, the illumination elements may alternatively or additionally be arranged in the area visible from the front of the front door 8.
[0029] Die Betriebsanzeige wird durch eine (nicht dargestellte) elektronische Programmsteuerung der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 angesteuert, wobei die Programmsteuerung den Leuchtmodus regelt. Um den Mangel eines Zuschlagmittels, wie z.B. einer Reinigungssubstanz, Klarspülmittel, Enthärter usw., zu signalisieren, werden die Illuminationselemente 5 und 6 intermittierend, das heißt mit einer vorgegebenen Blinkfrequenz betrieben, so dass abwechselnd das Illuminationselement 5 in dem rechten Spalt 3 und das Illuminationselement 6 in dem linken Spalt 4 aufleuchten. Die Blinkfrequenz kann dabei in Abhängigkeit der Art eines fehlenden Zuschlagmittels unterschiedlich geregelt sein. [0030] Durch entsprechende Anordnung der Illuminationselemente 5, 6 werden gemäß der gezeigten Ausführungsform die Spalten 3, 4 bei aufleuchtenden Illuminationselementen 5, 6 zumindest teilweise ausgeleuchtet. Durch die Anordnung der Illuminationselemente 5, 6 auf den gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Geschirrspülmaschine 1 und deren wechselweisen Ansteuerung, ergibt sich eine für den Benutzer ein besonders gut wahrnehmbare Signalisierung eines Mangels eines Betriebsmittels.The operation indicator is controlled by a (not shown) electronic program control of the dishwasher 1, wherein the program control controls the lighting mode. To signal the lack of an additive, such as a cleaning substance, rinse aid, softener, etc., the illumination elements 5 and 6 are intermittently, that is operated at a predetermined flashing frequency, so that alternately the illumination element 5 in the right gap 3 and the Illuminationselement 6 in the left gap 4 light up. The blink frequency can be regulated differently depending on the nature of a missing aggregate. By appropriate arrangement of Illuminationselemente 5, 6, the columns 3, 4 are lit at least partially illuminating elements Illuminations 5, 6 according to the embodiment shown. The arrangement of the illumination elements 5, 6 on the opposite sides of the dishwasher 1 and their alternating control, results in a particularly perceptible to the user signaling a lack of resources.
[0031] Die in Fig. 1 gezeigte Betriebsanzeige kann beispielsweise durch die Parallelschaltung zumindest zweier, jeweils eine Anzahl an Illuminationselementen aufweisende, Elementzweige 10, 1 1 gebildet sein, die zu deren Aktivierung jeweils durch ein steuerbares Schaltelement 12, 13 mit einer Energiequelle 14, z. B. einer Konstant-Stromquelle zur Abgabe eines Stromes lGes verbindbar sind (Fig. 3). Sind beide Schaltelemente 12, 13 geschlossen, so teilt sich der Gesamtstrom lGes in zwei gleich große Ströme I1 und I2 auf, sofern die Elementzweige 10, 1 1 gleiche Widerstände aufweisen. Wird zwecks Realisierung eines Blinkbetriebes der Betriebsanzeige abwechselnd das eine Schaltelement 12 geschlossen, während das andere Schaltelement 13 geöffnet ist, und umgekehrt, so fließt durch den Elementzweig 10 der Gesamtstrom IGES und bei umgekehrter Schalterstellung der Gesamtstrom lGEs durch den Elementzweig 1 1 . Durch diese einfache Schaltungsanordnung kann einem jeweiligen Elementzweig ein größerer Strom zur Verfügung gestellt werden, wodurch die von dem Elementzweig erzeugte Lichtstrahlung intensiver ist, im Vergleich zu einem Betrieb, in welchem beide Elementzweige Lichtstrahlung abgeben.1 can be formed, for example, by the parallel connection of at least two, each having a number of Illuminationselementen, element branches 10, 1 1, for their activation in each case by a controllable switching element 12, 13 with a power source 14, z. B. a constant current source for delivering a current l Ges are connectable (Fig. 3). If both switching elements 12, 13 are closed, the total current I Ges is divided into two currents I 1 and I 2 of equal magnitude, provided that the element branches 10, 1 have the same resistances. If one switching element 12 is alternately closed for the purpose of realizing a flashing operation of the operating display while the other switching element 13 is open, and vice versa, then the total current I G E S flows through the element branch 10 and the total current I GE s through the element branch 1 when the switch position is reversed 1 . By means of this simple circuit arrangement, a larger current can be made available to a respective element branch, as a result of which the light radiation generated by the element branch is more intense, compared to an operation in which both element branches emit light radiation.
[0032] Fig. 2 zeigt eine teilweise Frontansicht einer Küchenzeile, in der eine als Schubladen-Geschirrspülmaschine ausgebildete Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer Betriebsablaufanzeige der oben beschriebenen Art zwischen benachbarten Schrankkomponenten 2 angeordnet ist. Zusätzlich zu den die Spalte 3, 4 zumindest teilweise ausleuchtenden Illuminationselementen 5, 6 ist ein weiteres Illuminationselement 7 vorgesehen, welches im unteren Bereich der Fronttür 8 angeordnet ist und eine Ausleuchtung des Fußbodens bewirkt.Fig. 2 shows a partial front view of a kitchen unit, in which a dishwasher designed as a drawer dishwasher with an operational display of the type described above between adjacent cabinet components 2 is arranged. In addition to the illuminating elements 5, 6 which illuminate at least partially the gaps 3, 4, a further illumination element 7 is provided, which is arranged in the lower area of the front door 8 and effects an illumination of the floor.
[0033] Die erfindungsgemäße Betriebsanzeige kann zusätzlich dazu verwendet werden, anzuzeigen, ob die Geschirrspülmaschine in Betrieb ist oder nicht. Während des Betriebs können beispielsweise sämtliche Illuminationselemente in Betrieb sein. Ist die Geschirrspülmaschine hingegen nicht in Betrieb, so erfolgt keine Beleuchtung der Spalte und/oder des Fußbodens. [0034] Durch den blinkenden Betrieb der Betriebsanzeige, gegebenenfalls ergänzt durch eine unterschiedliche Farbgestaltung, ergibt sich eine besonders gute Erkennbarkeit eines einen Mangel aufzeigenden Betriebszustands der Geschirrspülmaschine.The operation indicator according to the invention can also be used to indicate whether the dishwasher is in operation or not. During operation, for example, all the illumination elements can be in operation. On the other hand, if the dishwasher is not in operation, there is no illumination of the column and / or the floor. The flashing operation of the operating display, optionally supplemented by a different color design, results in a particularly good visibility of a deficiency indicating operating state of the dishwasher.
[0035] Die Betriebsanzeige kann zusätzlich zu herkömmlichen Betriebsanzeigen, z. B. im Bereich einer Frontblende der Fronttür, oder auch für sich alleine in einer Geschirrspülmaschine verwirklicht sein.The operation indicator can be used in addition to conventional operating displays, z. B. in the area of a front panel of the front door, or be realized on its own in a dishwasher.
