Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere eine Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine, wenigstens aufweisend eine Betriebsanzeige mit wenigstens einem optischen und/oder akustischen Anzeigemittel, das wenigstens zum Anzeigen und/oder Signalisieren eines abgeschlossenen Behandlungsvorgangs ausgebildet ist.The invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a domestic dishwasher, at least comprising an operating display with at least one optical and / or acoustic display means, which is designed at least for displaying and / or signaling a completed treatment process.

Bei der Bewertung von Haushaltsgeräten durch Verbraucherorganisationen spielt der Energieverbrauch des Haushaltsgerätes, insbesondere auch dessen Jahresenergiebilanz, eine bedeutende Rolle. Haushaltsgeräte weisen eine Betriebsanzeige mit wenigstens optischen Anzeigemitteln, zum Beispiel LEDs, auf, mit denen während des Betriebs des Haushaltsgeräts Betriebsparameter, etc., und nach Abschluss eines Behandlungsvorgangs gemäß eines Programms angezeigt werden kann, dass der Behandlungsvorgang abgeschlossen wurde. Jedoch bleibt das Haushaltsgerät nach dem Programmende so lange am Stromversorgungsnetz, bis der Kunde aktiv eingreift und das Haushaltsgerät durch Betätigung des Hauptschalters ausschaltet.In the evaluation of household appliances by consumer organizations, the energy consumption of the household appliance, in particular its annual energy balance, plays an important role. Domestic appliances have an operation display with at least optical display means, for example LEDs, with which during operation of the household appliance operating parameters, etc., and after completion of a treatment process according to a program can be displayed that the treatment process has been completed. However, the household appliance remains at the end of the program on the power grid until the customer actively intervenes and turns off the household appliance by pressing the main switch.

Z.B. beim Haushaltsgerät der DE 196 24 890 A1 ist ein Hauptschalter zum manuellen Ein- und Ausschalten vorgesehen. Im Betrieb dieses Haushaltsgeräts sind Leuchtmittel zur Anzeige des Programmablaufs und/oder von Gerätezuständen bis zu einem manuellen Abschalten des Haushaltsgeräts gesondert schaltbar.For example, the household appliance of DE 196 24 890 A1 a main switch is provided for manual switching on and off. During operation of this household appliance, lighting means for displaying the program sequence and / or device states can be switched separately up to a manual shutdown of the household appliance.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Haushaltsgerät, insbesondere Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine, bereitzustellen, bei dem der Energieverbrauch weiter gesenkt ist.The object of the invention is to provide a household appliance, in particular household dishwasher, in which the energy consumption is further reduced.

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Haushaltsgerät mittels eines ansteuerbaren Schaltmittels ein- und ausschaltbar ist, und dass mittels eines Einschalters ein das Schaltmittel ansteuerndes Einschaltsignal erzeugbar ist, um das Haushaltsgerät einzuschalten, und dass das Haushaltsgerät eine Steuereinrichtung aufweist, mit der ein das Schaltmittel ansteuerndes Ausschaltsignal auf einen abgeschlossenen Behandlungsvorgang hin erzeugbar ist, um wenigstens die Anzeigemittel zu deaktivieren. Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, dass in einer Jahresenergiebilanz der aufgrund des elektrischen Betriebs der optischen Anzeigemittel verursachte Energieverbrauch des Haushaltsgerätes merklich einfließt. Mittels der Erfindung können die optischen Anzeigemittel unabhängig von zum Beispiel einer Betätigung eines Hauptschalters selbsttätig ausgeschaltet werden. Eine solche Deaktivierung der Anzeigemittel kann erfolgen, wenn deren Betrieb etwa von einer Steuereinrichtung als nicht erforderlich eingestuft wird. Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass die Zeitdauer zwischen dem Abschluss des eigentlichen Behandlungsvorgangs und einem darauffolgenden Behandlungsvorgang im Bereich von Stunden oder Tagen liegen kann. Für den Fall, dass nach dem Ende des Behandlungsvorgangs der Hauptschalter nicht ausgeschaltet wird, bleiben daher insbesondere die optischen Anzeigemittel, die das Programmende anzeigen, bis zum folgenden Behandlungsvorgang aktiviert. Dadurch kann in der Jahresenergiebilanz der Energieverbrauch des Haushaltsgeräts merklich erhöht sein. Vor diesem Hintergrund kann der Energieverbrauch des Geräts nach erfolgtem Behandlungsvorgang weitgehend reduziert werden, so dass der Gesamtenergieverbrauch des Haushaltsgerätes entsprechend reduziert ist. Dabei kann es sich bei dem ansteuerbaren Schaltmittel z.B. um ein Relais, ein Schütz, ein bistabile Relais oder ein Halbleiterrelais handeln,According to the invention, it is provided that the domestic appliance can be switched on and off by means of a controllable switching means, and that a switch-on signal activating the switching means can be generated by means of a switch in order to switch on the domestic appliance, and that the domestic appliance has a control device with which the switch means activating the switch-off signal can be generated on a completed treatment process to disable at least the display means. The invention is based on the finding that in an annual energy balance caused by the electrical operation of the optical display means Energy consumption of the household appliance noticeably flows. By means of the invention, the optical display means can be switched off independently of, for example, an operation of a main switch. Such deactivation of the display means may be done when their operation is deemed by a controller to be not required. Studies have shown that the time between the completion of the actual treatment process and a subsequent treatment process can be in the range of hours or days. In the event that after the end of the treatment process, the main switch is not turned off, therefore, in particular the optical display means indicating the end of the program remain activated until the following treatment process. As a result, the energy consumption of the household appliance can be markedly increased in the annual energy balance. Against this background, the energy consumption of the device after the treatment process can be largely reduced, so that the total energy consumption of the household appliance is reduced accordingly. In this case, the controllable switching means may be, for example, a relay, a contactor, a bistable relay or a semiconductor relay,

Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass das Schaltmittel wenigstens eine Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung aufweist, die wenigstens mit dem Einschalter und der Steuereinrichtung signalübertragend verbunden ist. Dabei erlaubt die Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung nach Ablauf eines Spülprogramms wenigsten das Anzeigemittel oder das Haushaltsgerät an sich von einem hausseitigen Stromversorgungsnetz zu trennen, um so den Energieverbrauch zureduzieren.According to the invention, it is provided that the switching means has at least one self-holding contact circuit which is connected in a signal-transmitting manner at least to the power switch and the control device. In this case, the self-hold contact circuit allows after the expiration of a wash program least the display means or the household appliance to separate from a home-side power supply network, so as to reduce the energy consumption.

Vorzugsweise kann die Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung wenigstens einen Einschalter aufweisen. Dieser kann als Drucktaster ausgeführt sein, der im unbetätigten Zustand geöffnet ist und bei Betätigung elektrische Kontaktstellen schließt. Der Einschalter kann als Mikroschalter in der Bedienblende des Haushaltsgerätes von einer Bedienperson betätigt werden und kann zum oben genannten Schaltglied parallel geschaltet sein. Jedoch können auch andere Schalter Verwendung finden, wie z.B. Infrarottaster, Näherungsschalter, kapazitive Taster oder Piezotaster. Dabei ist vorzugsweise der Einschalter von einer Bedienperson bedienbar ausgebildet ist, sodass von einer Bedienperson das Haushaltsgerät eingeschaltet werden kann.Preferably, the self-holding contact circuit may comprise at least one power switch. This can be designed as a pushbutton, which is open in the unactuated state and closes electrical contact points when actuated. The power switch can be operated as a microswitch in the control panel of the household appliance by an operator and can be connected in parallel to the above-mentioned switching element. However, other switches can be used, such as infrared sensors, proximity switches, capacitive buttons or piezo buttons. In this case, preferably, the power switch is designed to be operated by an operator, so that the household appliance can be switched on by an operator.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass die Betriebsanzeige von der Steuereinrichtung deaktivierbar ist. SO kann der Energieverbrauch weiter reduziert werden, da nicht nur die optischen und/oder akustischen Anzeigen, sondern die ganze Betriebsanzeige von der Energieversorgung getrennt werden. Das Ausschaltsignal zur Deaktivierung der optischen Anzeigemittel usw. kann unmittelbar in Anschluss auf einen abgeschlossenen Behandlungsvorgang des Haushaltsgerätes erzeugt werden. Bevorzugt wird das Ausschaltsignal automatisch durch eine Steuereinrichtung erzeugt, mit der während eines Behandlungsvorganges Gerätekomponenten, wie etwa die Anzeigemittel oder Umwälz-/Laugenpumpen, angesteuert werden können. Alternativ dazu kann das Ausschaltsignal durch eine Sensoreinrichtung erzeugt werden, die zum Beispiel das Öffnen der Gerätetür nach erfolgtem Behandlungsvorgang erfasst und daraufhin das Ausschaltsignal erzeugt.It is preferably provided that the operating display can be deactivated by the control device. Thus, the power consumption can be further reduced, since not only the visual and / or acoustic displays, but the whole operation display are disconnected from the power supply. The switch-off signal for deactivating the optical display means, etc. can be generated directly in connection to a completed treatment process of the household appliance. This is preferred Off signal generated automatically by a control device with which during a treatment process device components, such as the display means or circulating / alkaline pumps, can be controlled. Alternatively, the switch-off signal can be generated by a sensor device which, for example, detects the opening of the appliance door after the treatment process has been completed and then generates the switch-off signal.

Ferner ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass das Haushaltsgerät von der Steuereinrichtung deaktivierbar ist. Dies reduziert nochmals den Energiebedarf, da so weitere Gerätekomponenten von der Energieversorgung getrennt sind.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the household appliance can be deactivated by the control device. This reduces the energy requirement once more, as further device components are disconnected from the power supply.

Vorzugsweise kann zusätzlich zur automatischen Erzeugung des Ausschaltsignals unmittelbar nach dem Ende des Behandlungsvorgangs auch für eine zum Beispiel benutzerseitig gewünschte Unterbrechung eines laufenden Behandlungsvorgangs das Ausschaltsignal erzeugt werden.Preferably, in addition to the automatic generation of the switch-off signal immediately after the end of the treatment process, the switch-off signal can also be generated for an interruption of a running treatment process which is desired, for example, by the user.

Ferner ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass durch Schaltbetätigung des Einschalters bei vom Stromversorgungsnetz getrenntem Haushaltsgerät in der Steuereinrichtung ein Einschaltsignal zum Verbinden des Haushaltsgeräts mit einem Stromversorgungsnetz erzeugbar ist. Dies ermöglicht ein Einschalten eines vollständig stromlosen Haushaltsgerät. So können die Stand-by Verluste weiter reduziert werden.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that a switch-on signal for connecting the household appliance to a power supply network can be generated by switching operation of the power switch in the household appliance separated from the power supply in the control device. This allows switching on a completely de-energized home appliance. Thus, the stand-by losses can be further reduced.

Vorzugsweise ist vorgesehen, dass durch eine folgende Schaltbetätigung des Einschalters ein Ausschaltsignal erzeugbar ist. Eine solche benutzerseitig gewünschte Unterbrechung kann von der Steuereinrichtung erfasst werden. Erfasst beispielsweise die Steuereinrichtung nach bereits erfolgter Einschaltbetätigung des oben erwähnten Einschalters eine nochmalige benutzerseitige Betätigung des Einschalters, so wird dies von der Steuereinrichtung als benutzerseitiger Wunsch eingestuft, den laufenden Behandlungsvorgang zu unterbrechen, so dass die Steuereinrichtung ein Ausschaltsignal erzeugt.Preferably, it is provided that a switch-off signal can be generated by a subsequent switching operation of the switch. Such a user-desired interruption can be detected by the control device. If, for example, the control device detects a repeated user-side actuation of the switch after the switch-on operation of the switch mentioned above has already occurred, this is classified by the control device as a user-side request to interrupt the ongoing treatment process so that the control device generates a switch-off signal.

Ferner ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass der Einschalter und ein Ausschalter parallel geschaltet angeordnet sind. Das Stromversorgungsnetz kann z.B. an einem Mikroschalter ausgebildeten Einschalter und am parallel dazu geschalteten Schaltglied anliegen. Bei außer Betrieb gesetztem Haushaltsgerät sind sowohl der Einschalter als auch das Schaltglied geöffnet. Durch Druckbetätigung des Mikroschalters kann das deaktivierte, das heißt geöffnete Schaltglied der Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung überbrückt werden, wodurch die Steuereinrichtung mit einem Spannungsimpuls beaufschlagt wird. Der Spannungsimpuls wird über die Steuereinrichtung zur Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung geleitet, wodurch die Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung das Schaltglied schließt. Auf diese Weise fließt Strom vom Netz über das nunmehr geschlossene Schaltglied zur Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung, so dass das Schaltglied stabil geschlossen bleibt, während der Einschalter wieder geöffnet ist. Sobald die Steuereinrichtung das Ausschaltsignal zur Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung leitet, öffnet diese das Schaltglied, wodurch die Stromversorgung in das Haushaltsgerät unterbrochen ist.Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the power switch and a circuit breaker are arranged in parallel. The power supply network can be applied, for example, to a switch formed on a microswitch and to the switching element connected in parallel therewith. When put home appliance are both the power switch and the Open switching element. By pressing the microswitch, the deactivated, that is open switching element of the self-holding contact circuit can be bypassed, whereby the control device is acted upon by a voltage pulse. The voltage pulse is passed via the control device to the self-holding contact circuit, whereby the self-holding contact circuit closes the switching element. In this way, current flows from the network via the now closed switching element to the self-holding contact circuit, so that the switching element remains stable while the power switch is open again. As soon as the control device conducts the switch-off signal to the self-hold contact circuit, this opens the switching element, whereby the power supply to the household appliance is interrupted.

Dabei ist vorzugweise vorgesehen, dass an dem Einschalter und dem Ausschalter eine gleich hohe elektrische Spannung anliegt. Dies erlaubt einen besonders einfachen Aufbau.It is preferably provided that an equally high electrical voltage is applied to the power switch and the off switch. This allows a particularly simple structure.

Dabei ist vorzugweise vorgesehen, dass der Einschalter und der Ausschalter einen Ein- und/oder Ausschaltimpuls übertragend mit der Steuereinrichtung verbunden sind. Es ist ferner vorzugweise vorgesehen, dass Netzteil mit dem Einschalter und dem Ausschalter eine Reihenschaltung bildend angeordnet ist. Außerdem ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Steuereinrichtung mit dem Netzteil mit elektrischer Energie versorgbar verbunden ist. Es ist ferner vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Betriebsanzeige mit dem Netzteil mit elektrischer Energie versorgbar verbunden ist. Schließlich ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung einer von der Steuereinrichtung ansteuerbaren Steuerung zugeordnet ist.It is preferably provided that the power switch and the off switch an input and / or off-pulse are transmitted to the control device. It is further preferably provided that the power supply with the power switch and the circuit breaker is arranged forming a series circuit. In addition, it is preferably provided that the control device is connected to the power supply with electrical energy supplied. It is further preferably provided that the operating display is connected to the power supply with electrical energy supplied. Finally, it is preferably provided that the self-holding contact circuit is assigned to a controllable by the controller control.

Die Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung kann bevorzugt ein bistabiles Relais aufweisen, mit dem ein als Schaltglied wirkender Relaiskontakt schaltbar ist. Ein solches bistabiles Relais ist vor allem durch die Eigenschaft gekennzeichnet, dass es im stromlosen Zustand zwei verschiedene stabile Schaltzustände einnehmen kann. Ein Relaiskontakt des bistabilen Relais kann als das Schaltglied in der Hauptversorgungsleitung des Haushaltsgerätes geschaltet sein. Sofern das bistabile Relais mit dem Ausschaltsignal beaufschlagt wird, schaltet es den Relaiskontakt von einem stabilen stromlosen Offen-Zustand in einen stabilen stromlosen Geschlossen-Zustand oder umgekehrt, wodurch das Haushaltsgerät vollständig vom Netz entkoppelt oder damit verbunden ist. Anstelle eines Relais kann auch ein Flipflop, insbesondere ein RS-Flipflop, Verwendung finden.The self-holding contact circuit may preferably have a bistable relay with which a relay contact acting as a switching element can be switched. Such a bistable relay is characterized above all by the property that it can assume two different stable switching states when de-energized. A relay contact of the bistable relay may be connected as the switching element in the main supply line of the household appliance. Provided the bistable relay is energized with the turn-off signal, it switches the relay contact from a stable de-energized open state to a stable de-energized closed state, or vice versa, whereby the household appliance completely decoupled from or connected to the grid. Instead of a relay, a flip-flop, in particular an RS flip-flop, can also be used.

Schließlich ist vorzugsweise vorgesehen, dass die Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung derart mit dem Ausschalter verbunden ist, dass der Ausschalter in einen geöffneten Zustand bringbar ist, so dass auf einfachem Wege eine Trennung von der Versorgungsspannung möglich ist.Finally, it is preferably provided that the self-holding contact circuit is connected to the circuit breaker such that the circuit breaker can be brought into an open state, so that a separation of the supply voltage is possible in a simple way.

Nachfolgend ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der beigefügten Figuren beschrieben.Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention with reference to the accompanying figures will be described.

Es zeigen:

Show it:
Fig. 1
in a schematic perspective view of a household dishwasher; and
Fig. 2
a circuit arrangement of the household dishwasher.

In der Fig. 1 ist als Ausführungsbeispiel für eine Haushaltsgerät eine Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine mit einer frontseitigen Gerätetür GT gezeigt, die in bekannter Weise um eine bodenseitige horizontale Schwenkachse schwenkbar ist und mit der eine Beschickungsöffnung des Spülraumes BR zum Be- und/oder Entladen geöffnet oder geschlossen werden kann. Die Beschickungsöffnung ist oben durch eine Bedienblende B begrenzt, die einen Mikrotaster ES sowie lediglich angedeutete optische Anzeigemittel AZ einer Betriebsanzeige BA trägt. Zusätzlich sind Eingabemittel E vorgesehen, mit denen Betriebsparameter für einen Spülgang der Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine eingebbar sind.In the Fig. 1 is shown as an exemplary embodiment of a household appliance, a household dishwasher with a front door GT, which is pivotable about a bottom-side horizontal pivot axis in a known manner and with a feed opening of the washing compartment BR can be opened or closed for loading and unloading. The feed opening is bounded above by a control panel B, which carries a micro-switch ES and only indicated optical display means AZ a power indicator BA. In addition, input means E are provided with which operating parameters for a rinse cycle of the domestic dishwasher can be entered.

Der in der Fig. 1 im linken Bereich der Bedienblende B vorgesehene Mikroschalter ES ist hier beispielhaft als Tastschalter ausgebildet. Bei einer Druckbetätigung des Mikroschalters ES kann die Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine in Betriebsbereitschaft geschaltet werden, während bei einer darauffolgenden Druckbetätigung die Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine vom Stromversorgungsnetz entkoppelt wird.The Indian Fig. 1 provided in the left area of the control panel B micro switch ES is exemplified here as a key switch. In a press of the microswitch ES, the household dishwasher can be switched to standby, while in a subsequent printing operation, the household dishwasher is decoupled from the power grid.

In der Fig. 2 ist eine Schaltungsanordnung dargestellt, in der unter anderem der Mikroschalter ES sowie die Betriebsanzeige BA integriert sind. In der gezeigten Schaltungsanordnung ist die Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine über eine Hauptversorgungsleitung H am Stromversorgungsnetz angeschlossen. In der Hauptversorgungsleitung H ist ein später beschriebenes Schaltglied AS sowie ein Netzteil NT in Reihe geschaltet.In the Fig. 2 a circuit arrangement is shown, in which inter alia, the micro switch ES and the operation indicator BA are integrated. In the circuit arrangement shown, the domestic dishwasher is connected to the power supply network via a main supply line H. In the main supply line H, a later-described switching element AS and a power supply NT are connected in series.

Das Netzteil NT wandelt die Netzspannung von bspw. 230 V in eine Niederspannung von 12 V um. Die Niederspannung 12V wird mittels eines in Reihe nach dem Netzteil NT geschalteten Reglers RG in eine Niederspannung von 5 V umgewandelt, mit der eine Steuereinrichtung SE versorgt wird. Das Netzteil NT versorgt außerdem über zusätzliche Ausgänge weitere Gerätekomponenten und auch die Betriebsanzeige BA der Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine mit Niederspannung.The power supply unit NT converts the mains voltage of, for example, 230 V into a low voltage of 12 V. The low voltage 12V is converted into a low voltage of 5 V by means of a regulator RG connected in series with the power supply NT, with which a control device SE is supplied. The power supply unit NT also supplies additional device components via additional outputs and also the operating indicator BA of the household dishwasher with low voltage.

Die Steuereinrichtung SE ist in einem nicht näher dargestellten Steuermodul integriert und steuert während der Ausführung eines Spülprogramms über eine erste Signalleitung SL1 die optischen Anzeigemittel AZ der Betriebsanzeige BA sowie weitere Gerätekomponente, etwa die Laugenpumpe oder die Umwälzpumpe, mittels Steuersignalen SE an.The control device SE is integrated in a control module not shown in detail and controls during the execution of a wash program via a first signal line SL1 the optical display means AZ of the operating display BA and other device component, such as the drain pump or the circulation pump, by means of control signals S E.

Wie aus der Fig. 2 weiter hervorgeht, ist die Steuereinrichtung SE über eine zweite Signalleitung SL2 mit einem bistabilen Relais RE einer Selbsthaltekontaktschaltung SKS verbunden. Dem bistabilen Relais RE ist als Relaiskontakt das bereits erwähnte Schaltglied AS zugeordnet, das anstelle eines mechanischen Hauptschalters in der Hauptversorgungsleitung H geschaltet ist und als solches eine Hauptschalterfunktion übernimmt, mit der die Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine vom Stromversorgungsnetz entkoppelt oder damit verbunden werden kann.Like from the Fig. 2 Furthermore, the control device SE is connected via a second signal line SL2 to a bistable relay RE of a self-holding contact circuit SKS. The bistable relay RE is assigned as a relay contact the aforementioned switching element AS, which is connected instead of a mechanical main switch in the main supply line H and as such assumes a main switch function with which the domestic dishwasher can be decoupled from the power supply network or connected.

Bei außer Betrieb gesetzter Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine ist sowohl der Mikroschalter ES als auch das Schaltglied AS geöffnet. Die Inbetriebnahme der ausgeschalteten Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine erfolgt mittels einer Druckbetätigung des Mikroschalters ES, bei der das anfänglich noch geöffnete Schaltglied AS überbrückt wird. Durch die Druckbetätigung des Mikroschalters ES wird ein Spannungsimpuls bereitgestellt, der über das Netzteil NT und über den Regler RG zur Steuereinrichtung SE geleitet wird.When put out of service domestic dishwasher both the micro switch ES and the switching element AS is open. The commissioning of the household dishwasher switched off by means of a pressure actuation of the microswitch ES, in which the initially open switching element AS is bridged. By the pressure actuation of the microswitch ES, a voltage pulse is provided which is conducted via the power supply unit NT and via the controller RG to the control device SE.

Die Steuereinrichtung SE leitet daraufhin ein Einschaltsignal Sein weiter an das bistabile Relais RE, worauf dessen Relaisspule anzieht und das Schaltglied AS vom stromlos stabilen Offen-Zustand in einen ebenfalls stromlos stabilen Geschlossen-Zustand verbracht wird. Auf diese Weise ist der nach der Druckbetätigung wieder offene Mikroschalter ES vom nunmehr geschlossenen Schaltglied AS überbrückt, wodurch am Netzteil NT die Netzspannung anliegt.The control device SE then forwards a power-S one on to the bistable relay RE, whereupon the relay coil is energized and the switching element AS is spent from the normally stable open state into a normally stable also closed state. In this way, after the pressure actuation again open microswitch ES is bridged by the now closed switching element AS, whereby the mains voltage is applied to the power supply NT.

Die Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine ist somit betriebsbereit geschaltet, so dass nachfolgend mittels der Eingabemittel E ein Spülprogramm gestartet werden kann. Nach dem Ende des Spülgangs schaltet die Steuereinrichtung SE die Gerätekomponenten, etwa Laugen- oder Umwälzpumpe, aus.The household dishwasher is thus switched ready for operation, so that subsequently by means of the input means E, a washing program can be started. After the end of the rinse, the control device SE switches off the device components, such as a lye or circulation pump.

Unmittelbar nach Ablauf des Spülprogramms erzeugt die Steuereinrichtung SE außerdem einen weiteren Spannungsimpuls, der als Ausschaltsignal Saus über die zweite Signalleitung SL2 das bistabile Relais RE ansteuert. Daraufhin schaltet das Relais RE das Schaltglied AS von der Geschlossen-Stellung in die Offen-Stellung, wodurch die Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine vollständig vom Stromversorgungsnetz getrennt ist.Immediately after the end of the wash program, the control device SE also generates a further voltage pulse, which activates the bistable relay RE as the switch-off signal S off via the second signal line SL2. Subsequently, the relay RE switches the switching element AS from the closed position to the open position, whereby the household dishwasher is completely disconnected from the power supply network.

Das Schaltglied AS des Relais RE wirkt somit als ein Hauptschalter, der selbsttätig nach Beendigung des Spülprogramms das Netzteil NT der Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine vom Stromversorgungsnetz trennt. Auf diese Weise ist erreicht, dass nach dem Programmende insbesondere auch eine Stromversorgung über das Netzteil NT zu dem optischen Anzeigemittel AZ der Betriebsanzeige BA unterbrochen wird. Es findet daher nach dem Ablauf des Spülprogramms keine energieverbrauchende optische Anzeige in der Betriebsanzeige BA des Programmendes statt.The switching element AS of the relay RE thus acts as a main switch, which automatically disconnects the power supply NT of the domestic dishwasher from the power supply network after completion of the wash program. In this way it is achieved that, in particular, a power supply via the power supply NT to the optical display means AZ of the operating display BA is interrupted after the end of the program. Therefore, there is no energy-consuming optical display in the operating display BA of the end of the program after the end of the washing program.

Wie aus der Fig. 2 weiter hervorgeht, ist der Mikroschalter ES über eine Eingangsleitung EL direkt mit der Steuereinrichtung SE in Signalverbindung. Der bei einer manuellen Druckbetätigung des Mikroschalters ES bereitgestellte Spannungsimpuls wird daher unmittelbar bis zur Steuereinrichtung SE geleitet, die den Impuls erfasst und auswertet.Like from the Fig. 2 Furthermore, the microswitch ES is in signal connection via an input line EL directly to the control device SE. The voltage pulse provided by a manual pressure actuation of the microswitch ES is therefore passed directly to the control device SE, which detects and evaluates the pulse.

Bei Erfassung eines solchen Spannungsimpulses prüft die Steuereinrichtung SE, ob bei der Druckbetätigung des Mikroschalters ES das Netzteil NT bereits aktiviert ist. Bei noch nicht aktiviertem Netzteil NT erkennt die Steuereinrichtung SE eine Einschaltbetätigung des Benutzers und steuert, wie oben beschrieben, mit dem Einschaltsignal Sein das Relais RE an. Bei bereits aktiviertem Netzteil NT erkennt die Steuereinrichtung SE in der Mikroschalter-Druckbetätigung eine Ausschaltbetätigung des Benutzers, so dass die Steuereinrichtung SE ein entsprechendes Ausschaltsignal Saus zum Relais RE leitet. In diesem Fall wird die Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine außer Betrieb gesetzt. Ein gegebenenfalls gerade laufendes Spülprogramm wird somit unterbrochen.Upon detection of such a voltage pulse, the control device SE checks whether the power supply NT is already activated during the pressure actuation of the microswitch ES. When not yet activated power supply NT detects the controller SE a power-on of the user and controls, as described above, with the switch-S on the relay RE to. When already activated power supply NT recognizes the controller SE in the microswitch pressure actuation a shutdown of the user, so that the controller SE a corresponding switch-off signal S out to the relay RE. In this case, the household dishwasher is put out of action. An optionally currently running wash program is thus interrupted.
