  • the invention is based on a domestic appliance device with at least one light-emitting unit and at least one carrier unit which at least partially counteracts the weight of the light-emitting unit, the carrier unit being at least partially molded onto the light-emitting unit.
  • the fact that the carrier unit is "moulded" onto the light-emitting unit is to be understood in particular to mean that the carrier unit is attached to at least one already manufactured and in particular fully manufactured partial area of the light-emitting unit by an injection molding process and in particular that the carrier unit is at least partially manufactured during the injection molding process .
  • a flexible manufacturability can be achieved with an embodiment according to the invention.
  • the carrier unit and the light-emitting unit can be manufactured at different times and in particular by different manufacturers.
  • the carrier unit is attached to the light-emitting unit by injection molding.
  • the fact that the carrier unit is "attached to the light-emitting unit by injection molding” is to be understood in particular to mean that the carrier unit is attached to at least one already manufactured and in particular fully manufactured sub-area of the light-emitting unit by an injection molding process and in particular that the carrier unit is at least partially attached during the injection molding process will be produced. As a result, simple manufacturability can be achieved.
  • the light emission unit has at least one electroluminescence light emission means.
  • a large-area illumination can be achieved.
  • a large-area light emission area can be achieved.
  • the electroluminescence light emission means is advantageously designed as a film.
  • a compact design can be achieved in this way.
  • a particularly large-area light emission area can be achieved.
  • the carrier unit at least partially forms an actuating means.
  • An “actuating means” is to be understood in particular as meaning a means on which an operator exerts a force during at least one operating process. As a result, components can be saved.
  • the carrier unit is preferably at least partially translucent.
  • the fact that the carrier unit is “at least partially translucent” is to be understood in particular as meaning that the carrier unit has at least a partial area which is permeable to light whose wavelength is in at least one wavelength range that is in a wavelength range that is visible to humans. In this way, a high level of user comfort can be achieved.
  • the carrier unit is formed at least partially from polycarbonate. In this way, a cost-effective construction can be achieved.
  • the light emission unit at least partially forms at least one plug connection means.
  • a structurally simple attachment, in particular of a power connection, can thus be achieved.
  • the light emission unit advantageously forms an illumination unit which illuminates at least one operating symbol in at least one operating process.
  • a high level of operating convenience can be achieved as a result.
  • the carrier unit has at least one fastening means which, in at least one operating state, fastens at least part of the carrier unit in a form-fitting and/or force-fitting manner. In this way, a simple assembly can be achieved.
  • the light emission unit is preferably formed at least partially from polycarbonate. In this way, a cost-effective construction can be achieved.
  • a household appliance device manufacturing method is proposed in which the light emission unit is placed in a plastic injection mold and then the carrier unit is injection molded onto the light emission unit. As a result, simple manufacturability can be achieved.
  • figure 1 shows a three-dimensional view of a domestic appliance device according to the invention, which has a light-emitting unit 10 and a carrier unit 12 .

  • Electrical contact surfaces 28 which are in the form of metal surfaces, are printed onto the electroluminescence light emission means 14 .
  • the electroluminescent light emitting means 14 is partially formed of polycarbonate. In principle, it is also conceivable that the electroluminescence light emission means 14 is formed largely from polycarbonate.
  • the carrier unit 12 is formed from polycarbonate and is therefore permeable to light from a wavelength range that is visible to humans.
  • the carrier unit 12 and the light emission unit 10 together form a plug connection means 20 which is plugged into a socket (not shown) in an operating state.
  • the bushing is a standard component and inexpensive.
  • the plug connection means 20 has the contact surfaces 28 .
  • the carrier unit 12 has a fastening means 26 designed as a latching hook, by means of which the carrier unit 12 is fastened to a further carrier unit (not shown) in an installed state. Furthermore, the carrier unit 12 is formed in one piece.
  • the completely manufactured electroluminescence light-emitting means 14 is inserted into a plastic injection molding tool (not shown) in one work step.
  • a plastic injection molding tool (not shown)
  • loading the electroluminescent light emitting means 14 is sucked by a suction unit, so that a very accurate Positioning of the electroluminescent light emitting means 14 is achieved.
  • a flowable substance is injected into the plastic injection mold.
  • the fabric fills the plastic injection mold. Subsequently, the substance hardens, as a result of which the support unit 12 is cast onto the light-emitting unit 10 .
  • the fabric is polycarbonate.
  • the electroluminescent light emission means 14 has a planar portion 30 which encloses an angle of ninety degrees with a planar portion 32 which is formed by the connector means 20 . In principle, the angle can also be essentially ninety degrees.
  • the partial area 30 has a rectangular contour in a front view. Furthermore, the partial area 30 is attached to a front side 34 of the carrier unit 12 . In an installed state, the partial area 30 is arranged behind a panel made of milky glass, on which an operating symbol is printed (not shown). The operating symbol can be illuminated using the electroluminescence light emission means 14 .
