Definitions

  • the invention relates to an operating device for a household appliance, with a removable and sliding movable operating element whose mobility is limited by a limiting contour of a movement range, and which is formed depending on a movement for setting operating conditions of the household appliance. Moreover, the invention also relates to a household appliance with such an operating device, in particular a household appliance for the preparation of food.
  • a hob with a removable sliding movable control known.
  • a cylindrical control element has on its underside a small downwardly projecting guide pin.
  • the guide pin extends into a recess bounded by a boundary contour. Only this guide pin protrudes into the depression.
  • the actual cylindrical operating element is arranged outside the depression and lies with its bottom, on which the guide pin is arranged, on the upper side of the limiting contour.
  • the guide pin is guided in the recess and possibly suggests the boundary contour.
  • the diameter of the operating element is substantially larger than a maximum diameter of the depression, so that the operating element completely covers the depression during normal operation.
  • a corresponding household appliance with an operating device should also be created.
  • the operating element is designed to set operating conditions of the household appliance.
  • the range of motion is formed as a depression, which is bounded by the boundary contour laterally.
  • the operating element is arranged in a provided for operating condition adjustment operating position with its dimensions in length and width completely in the recess.
  • the range of movement is greater than the dimensions of the operating element in the width and the length, that the operating element in the recess is slidably displaced without projecting beyond the boundary contour.
  • the control element itself and not a guide pin, as provided in the prior art on the control element therefore, requires the movement along the boundary contour and is not laterally beyond this boundary contour.
  • the operating element as such is thus always in its operating position within that Surface area defined by the bounding contour. A particularly precise, targeted and traceable movement of the operating element is ensured.
  • the boundary contour is designed corner-free. A particularly jerk-free and smooth continuous motion control is thereby ensured.
  • the peripheral wall of the operating element comes into contact with the limiting contour, also a very low-wear and damage-free sliding along.
  • the boundary contour is symmetrical with respect to at least one axis.
  • the symmetry is formed with respect to two mutually perpendicular axes.
  • the two axes extend in the plane in which the recess is formed, in particular a carrier, in which the recess is incorporated, extends.
  • Such a symmetrical design allows very smooth and identical in certain zones of the well movement.
  • the boundary contour has outwardly curved contour sections.
  • these outwardly curved sections are formed in corner regions of the circumferentially closed boundary contour. It is there where zones can thus be created in which on the one hand a very smooth positioning and turning of the control element can be achieved. On the other hand, this also zones can be created in which the control element can be safely positioned to some extent, then subsequently in this zone in a corner area to perform a rotational movement without the control would move out of this corner undesirable again.
  • magnets are arranged, with which the operating element is held in its operating position in the recess in the corner regions.
  • magnets in particular in the depression, are arranged so that the operating element is drawn in from a position outside a corner area when approaching a corner area in this corner area by the magnetic force.
  • a magnet arrangement is formed at each corner region.
  • the operating element has at least one magnet which, in interaction with the magnets of the depression, permits such a movement of the operating element into a corner area and a holding there.
  • the curvature of an outwardly curved portion has a radius corresponding to the radius of a cylindrical or disc-shaped operating element. Precisely because of this it is possible, for example, for such a shaped operating element to be introduced into a corresponding corner area and for a relatively large peripheral area of the operating element to rest against the curved section of the limiting contour. The advantages mentioned above are thereby further favored.
  • these outwardly curved sections have such an arc length, which corresponds to a maximum of half the circumferential length of the operating element.
  • an inwardly curved section of the limiting contour is formed between two adjacent, outwardly curved sections of the delimiting contour.
  • a kind of cloverleaf structure of the peripheral boundary contour is generated.
  • the operating element is sunk in its operating position over at least two-thirds, in particular at least three quarters, of its height in this recess. An unwanted falling out or an undesirable tipping out of the depression can be avoided.
  • a particularly advantageous motion control is ensured.
  • the control element can be easily touched by a user on its upper side and correspondingly simple, possibly with only one finger, moved and rotated.
  • the operating element is seated in its operating position in the depression with its bottom surface corresponding at least substantially to the size of a corner surface of the operating element on a level and uninterrupted bottom of the depression.
  • a possible large-area edition of the control element can be achieved on the bottom of the recess itself.
  • the guide pin free design of the control element is provided so that no further backdrop in the bottom of the recess must be formed in order to then ensure the motion control of the control element on such a guide pin and a guide slot in the bottom of the recess can.
  • the entire motion concept of the control element in the recess is thereby significantly simplified, on the other hand precisely and intuitively logically perceptible for a user and also accessible to a user.
  • the recess has a bottom, are formed in or below the sensors for detecting the displacement position of the operating element and / or for detecting the rotational position of the operating element. This also allows a very compact arrangement of the components can be achieved.
  • a plurality of sensors are arranged in the region of the bottom surface of the operating element, which in interaction with sensors in or under the bottom of the depression can detect these corresponding positions of the control element and can recognize and carry out the so coupled and associated operating condition setting.
  • the operating device has a control unit, by means of which the detected information can be evaluated.
  • the sensors may be electrical, electromagnetic, magnetic or optical sensors.
  • the operating device has only a single operating element with which all operating condition settings of the household appliance can be carried out.
  • a functional part unit of the household appliance is selectable and / or by turning the control element in its operating position in the recess an operating parameter of a functional unit of the household appliance is adjustable in value and / or a central position the control element is provided in the recess in which a special function of the household appliance is selectable and / or adjustable.
  • the household appliance is such a device for preparing food.
  • it can be designed as a hob.
  • a functional part unit is a cooking zone of the hob.
  • An operating parameter may then be, for example, a cooking level of a cooking zone.
  • a timer function or a standby function or the like may be provided.
  • the specific functions mentioned are only to be understood as examples and not exhaustive. It may also be a basic turn-on and turn-off of the household appliance associated with it.
  • another household appliance such as a Extractor hood, activated or deactivated and / or be set stronger or weaker in their extractor effect.
  • a rotational position achieved by a rotational movement of the operating element in an operating position in the depression and coupled to an operating condition setting can be perceived haptically by a user of the operating element.
  • the user receives a haptic detent feedback and the rotational movement is evaluated by magnetic sensors on the underside of the control.
  • the recess is formed in an upper side of a plate-like carrier part.
  • the carrier part may, for example, be arranged on an upper side of a functional plate of the domestic appliance, for example a hob plate of a hob.
  • the carrier part has at the front a downwardly projecting edge, which serves as a stop.
  • this stop can then be in contact with the front edge of the hob plate.
  • At least one display area is formed laterally of the boundary contour on the upper side of the carrier part, in which information about the settings can be visually and / or acoustically displayed. It can also be provided that, in addition or instead, a display area is formed adjacent to the carrier part on the function plate or in the function plate.
  • the control element is non-destructively reversible solvable and re-usable in the recess or formed from the recess. This allows the well to be cleaned easily and quickly and fully accessible. The control element can then also be cleaned from all sides accessible or be examined in detail for assembly or maintenance purposes.
  • the invention further relates to a household appliance for preparing food, in particular a hob, with an operating device according to the invention or an advantageous embodiment thereof.
  • the operating device may be integrated in the hob plate or placed on the hob plate.
  • a hob 1 which has a hob plate 2, which may be formed for example of glass or glass ceramic.
  • a hob plate 2 which may be formed for example of glass or glass ceramic.
  • cooking zones 4, 5, 6 and 7 are formed in number and position only by way of example.
  • preparation vessels with food can be placed to prepare this food then.
  • heating units are arranged in the region of the cooking zones, via which the cooking zones 4 to 7 are heated.
  • an operating device 9 is arranged, which will be explained in more detail below.
  • the operating device 9 comprises a plate-like carrier part 11, which rests against a front edge 10 of the hob plate 2.
  • the carrier part 11 is formed in one piece and comprises at a front edge a downwardly extending stop 12, which rests against the front edge 10 of the hob plate 2.
  • a movement region 14 for a cylindrical or disc-shaped operating element 15 is formed in an upper side 13 of the carrier part 11.
  • the operating device 9 has only this one single control element 15, with all operating conditions of the hob 1 can be adjusted.
  • the operating element 15 can be rotated about its longitudinal axis A and be slid in a plane (xz-plane) perpendicular to the axis A.
  • the movement region 14 is formed as a recess 16 in the upper side 13 and bounded by a boundary contour 17 circumferentially and thus edge.
  • the operating element 15 can be positioned in an operating position in the depression 16. In the illustration according to Fig. 2 This operating position is taken, this being limited only to the fact that the control element 15 is seated on a bottom 18 of the recess 16. It does not have to be arranged in a corner region to take the operating position in the position shown.
  • a provided for operating condition adjustment operating position of the operating element 15 this is thus arranged with its dimensions in the length l (extent in the x-direction) and the width b (extent in the z-direction) completely in the recess 16.
  • a circumference wall 19 bounding the cylindrical or disc-shaped operating element 15 is thus always within the area bounded by the limiting contour 17 during an operating position of the operating element 15 in the movement area 14.
  • the range of motion 14 with its dimensions in the xz plane is greater than the dimensions of the control element 15 in the xz plane that the control element 15 is slidably displaceable in the recess 16 without projecting beyond the boundary contour 17 away ,
  • the boundary contour 17 is formed fully recirculating corners.
  • the limiting contour 17 forming boundary wall has a height such that the operating element 15 in its operating position in the recess 16 at least two thirds, in particular at least three quarters of its height (extension in the y direction) in the recess 16 arranged and thus sunk.
  • boundary contour 17 will be described below with reference to the plan view in FIG Fig. 3 explained in more detail. It can be seen that the boundary contour 17 is configured symmetrically with respect to two axes B and C that are perpendicular to one another and are located in the plane of the figure.
  • the boundary contour 17 comprises in the exemplary embodiment in four corner regions 20, 21, 22 and 23 convex and thus outwardly curved contour sections 20a, 21a, 22a and 23a.
  • the radii of these sections 20a to 23a are the same.
  • the radii of these sections 20a to 23a are adapted to the radius of the operating element 15 or the radius of the peripheral wall 19. As from the illustration in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 can be seen, then there is an operating element 15, which is located in the corner region 23, over as long a path as possible with its peripheral wall 19 on the boundary wall of the boundary contour 17 in section 23a.
  • the length of such a portion 20a to 23a is at most equal to the length of half the circumference and thus half the length of the peripheral wall 19 of the operating element 15, preferably less than half this length.
  • the sections 20a to 23a are formed with a length which corresponds to approximately one third of the length of the peripheral wall 19.
  • this is merely exemplary and may be otherwise designed.
  • a bottom surface 28 ( Fig. 2 ) of the control element 15 is substantially equal to or equal to a ceiling surface 29 of the control element 15.
  • the control element 15 is in particular with its bottom surface 28 as large as possible on the floor 18 when it has occupied the operating position in the movement area 14.
  • the operating device 9 also includes sensors, not shown, for detecting the displacement position of the operating element 15 and / or for detecting the rotational position of the operating element 15.
  • the sensors can be arranged in or below the bottom 18 of the carrier part 11.
  • the operating device 9 further comprises a control unit, not shown, by means of which the information can be processed and evaluated and by means of which the then with the movement and reached position of the control element 15 coupled operating condition settings are performed and controlled.
  • a location-specific associated cooking zone 4 to 7 can be selected. So is in the presentation according to Fig. 3 provided that the operating element 15 in Corner region 23 is arranged or moved there and thus the cooking zone 5 is selected. If the operating element 15 is displaced into the corner region 21, a selection of the cooking zone 7 is thus connected. The same then applies to a displacement of the control element 15 in the corner regions 20 and 22 and an associated selecting the cooking zones 6 and 8 respectively.
  • the operating element 15 can be positioned in a central position. This is in the exemplary embodiment, the symmetrical position, in which then the axis A at the intersection of the axes of symmetry B and C extends. In this central position, one or more special functions of the cooktop 1 can be selected and / or adjusted. For example, while a timer function can be selected, the timer time can then be set in value by turning the control element 15 about the axis A again.
  • a rotational position of the operating element 15, which is achieved by a rotational movement of the operating element 15 in the operating position in the depression 16 and coupled with an operating condition setting, can be perceived haptically by a user of the operating element 15.
  • a haptic latching feedback is mediated.
  • the control element 15 has on its underside no guide pin, which would extend downwards and then would still engage in a guide slot in the bottom 18 of the recess 16.
