Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device for a domestic appliance, with a control element which is tiltable for setting operating conditions of the domestic appliance from a basic position. Furthermore, the invention relates to a domestic appliance with a corresponding operating device.
  • the operating element is mushroom-shaped and comprises a control cap and a control pin.
  • the control pin is connected to the control cap.
  • the control element cap is partially slipped over a support element and the control element pin extends into a recess on the support element.
  • the operating device comprises only a single control element.
  • the number of operating elements is minimized and a user can perform all settings by means of an element.
  • the support element and the control element pin extends through an opening in a mounting plate of the domestic appliance.
  • the mounting plate may be in particular for the preparation of preparation containers in a household appliance for preparing food.
  • a glass ceramic plate can be provided here.
  • a function and / or a subunit of the domestic appliance can be selected by the tilting movement of the control element cap, and a parameter of the function and / or the subunit can be selected and / or changed by rotating the control cap about its longitudinal axis.
  • control cap In particular, the turning of the control cap about the longitudinal axis for selecting and / or changing a parameter of the function and / or the subunit in the tilted selection position of the control cap is feasible.
  • control element in the basic position can also be provided that the control element can be pressed along its longitudinal axis to perform a setting of the domestic appliance. For example, a switching on and off of the domestic appliance can be carried out.
  • a timer function can be provided as the operating setting, which can be set by actuating the operating element.
  • control element cap is formed arched and at its outer edge a circumferential web is formed on the underside.
  • the cap is corner-free when viewed from above, in particular round.

  • At least one elevation is formed on the upper side of the support element facing the operating-element cap, and the operating-element cap rests on this elevation.
  • This survey serves as a complementary stop element for formed on the underside of the control element cap web guide and at the same time forms a reliable element to prevent the entry of contaminants into the interior of the support element. As a result, the wear can be kept low and the functionality remain durable, very high and precise.
  • the operating element is movable relative to the support element.
  • the support element is stationary on the household appliance, in particular a mounting plate arranged.
  • control element pin is arranged in a holding element which is movable relative to the support element and which is electronically coupled to a detection unit, in particular for sensory detection of the movement and / or the position of the operating element.

  • a sealing and movement guide element is arranged between the support element and the control element pin.
  • the Free space in the support element, in which the control element pin hineinerstreckt, reliably sealed and beyond this, the movement of the control element can be supported. Unwanted movement tolerances or a mechanically unstable mobility can be avoided.
  • the motion guidance can also be damped in a certain way, so that a particularly low-wear and high-quality design is made possible.
  • haptic feedback with regard to the movement guidance to the user can be passed on in this regard and a corresponding configuration of this seal and motion guide element can be provided.
  • this sealing and movement guide element is arranged in the recess of the support element. Again, thus a particularly compact and space-minimized design is possible. In addition, this position is also particularly low-wear for this seal and motion guide element itself. Wear due to it rubbing elements of the operating device during the movement can be avoided in such a configuration.
  • the seal and motion guide member is disposed with one end in a movable holding member for holding the operating member pin and arranged on the control pin. This allows for a particularly stable attachment of this seal and motion guide element. In addition, the area between the control pin and the retaining element can be sealed accordingly.

In particular, it is thus provided that by a simple Plugging the operating element, in particular of the control element pin in or on the holding element, a corresponding fastening and mounting of the operating element is sufficiently effected. As a result, a particularly fast assembly can be ensured.
  • the support element has a vault cap, which rests on an upper side of the mounting plate of the domestic appliance.
  • a sufficient fastening of the support element in the opening and on the installation plate is virtually guaranteed. Slipping through the opening can be avoided because the vault cap quasi also extends at the edge with a larger flange to the outside and rests with this on the mounting plate outside the opening.
