Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance wherein the key functions are blocked by the key lock being activated while operating the household appliance.
  • key lock function which is also named as the child lock, is used in order that the user interface functions such as program cancellation, program pause or new program start can be deactivated.
  • the key lock function is activated and deactivated automatically or as a result of using a predefined input combination of the push buttons or of the program selector switch, which are situated on the control panel. For example, the user activates the key lock by pressing more than one push button situated on the control panel, and when he/she presses the same push buttons again, the key lock is deactivated. As long as the key lock is activated, intervention of the user to the household appliance to change the operating program is not possible.
  • the operation of the household appliance can be stopped in an emergency situation by disconnecting it from the main supply, for example by unplugging the household appliance or pressing the on/off button, and can be restarted; in other words, the on/off button is made independent of the key lock; however, to deactivate the key lock in a fast manner, there is no method other than the reapplication of the push button input combination, which is defined in the software, by the user.
  • a child lock switch provides the operation switches to change from the unlocking mode to the locking mode or from the locking mode to the unlocking mode, and even when the child lock is activated, this does not affect the main power switch, and on - off functions of the machine are performed.
  • German Patent No DE4031266 when the rotary selector switch situated in a household appliance is brought to the end mode and kept in this mode for a certain period of time, the washing program is terminated independently of the child lock and can be restarted.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance, the key lock function of which is provided to be easily cancelled by the user when required.
  • an on/off switch having on/off function, more than one push button determining the auxiliary functions to be applied, and a start button providing the selected program to be started are located.
  • the push button combination which is defined in the software, for example two push buttons simultaneously, the key lock function is activated by the microcontroller and the functions of the push buttons are blocked.
  • the key lock function in the period of time between the turning on and off of the household appliance, if the key lock function is activated by the user or automatically in any one of the waiting modes exclusive of the run mode, then in the same waiting mode, the key lock function is provided to be cancelled without using the push button combination defined in the software and only by turning the on/off switch off and on once.
  • the household appliance of the present invention is preferably a washing machine, and the on/off switch has the function of selecting the program, such as cotton, synthetic or wool fabric washing program, that will be applied, as well as the on/off option, and when the on/off switch is brought to the on/off position, it provides the energy to be cut off and when it leaves the on/off position and is brought to any position which indicates the washing programs, it provides the household appliance to be energized.
  • the program such as cotton, synthetic or wool fabric washing program
  • the key lock function in the household appliance, in the period of time between the energizing of the household appliance by bringing the switch to the on position and the de-energizing of the household appliance by bringing the switch to the off position, if the key lock function is activated in any one of the waiting modes such as the idle, end, pause and time delay modes, excluding the run mode, then in the same waiting mode, the key lock function is cancelled without using the push button combination defined in the software and only by bringing the switch to the on/off position and then again to the initial program option.
  • the waiting modes such as the idle, end, pause and time delay modes, excluding the run mode
  • an on/off switch that only provides the household appliance to be turned on and off and independently of this switch, a program selector switch that provides the program, which will be applied, to be selected are situated.
  • the key lock function is activated in any one of the waiting modes of the household appliance exclusive of the run mode, the household appliance is turned off and on only by pressing the on/off switch regardless of the position of the program selector switch, and the key lock function is provided to be cancelled.
  • the on/off function also the function of cancelling the key lock is loaded to the on/off switch.
  • the microcontroller distinguishes that the household appliance is turned off either by “cutting off the energy from the main supply / unplugging the household appliance” or by “the on/off switch being brought to the off position by the user", and if the microcontroller detects that the household appliance is turned off by being disconnected from the main supply or by being unplugged, it does not cancel the key lock function.
  • the microcontroller If the microcontroller detects that the household appliance in the waiting mode is turned off without cutting off the energy from the main supply and by the switch being brought to the off position by the user, the microcontroller cancels the key lock function. Thus, cancellation of the key lock function without user request is prevented.
