Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine versenkbare Drehknebeleinheit nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a retractable rotary knob unit according to the preamble of claim 1.

Zum Einstellen von Haushaltsgeräten ist es bekannt, Drehwahlschalter für das Einstellen von Arbeitsprogrammen und/oder Programmparametern vorzusehen. Diese Drehwahlschalter sind üblicherweise in einer Bedienblendeneinheit hinter einer Schalterblende angeordnet und lassen sich über einen Drehknebel, welcher vor der Schalterblende angeordnet ist, einstellen. Das Anordnen vor der Schalterblende ist für ein Bedienen mit der Hand wesentlich.For adjusting household appliances, it is known to provide rotary switch for setting work programs and / or program parameters. These rotary selector switches are usually arranged in a control panel unit behind a switch panel and can be adjusted via a rotary knob, which is arranged in front of the switch panel. Arranging in front of the switch panel is essential for manual operation.

Solche herausstehenden Drehknebel sind jedoch bei besonderen Designvorgaben schon seit längerem als störend empfunden worden. Aus diesem Grund ist es bereits vorgeschlagen worden (z.B. DE 84 28 301.7 U ) den Drehknebel versenkbar auszugestalten, das heißt, seine Stirnseite in seiner Parkposition mit der Schalterblende bündig auszugestalten und ihn durch Heraustretenlassen aus der Schalterblende für eine Bedienung zugänglich zu machen. Dieses Versenken und Ausfahren des Drehknebels in bzw. aus seiner Parkposition erfolgt üblicherweise nach dem Vorbild der Überhubfunktion eines Kugelschreibers.Such protruding knobs, however, have long been bothersome for special design specifications. For this reason, it has already been proposed (eg DE 84 28 301.7 U ) To design the rotary knob retractable, that is, to design its front page in its parking position with the switch panel flush and to make it accessible by stepping out of the switch panel for operation. This sinking and extending the rotary knob in or out of its parking position is usually based on the model of the overstroke function of a ballpoint pen.

Bei den voranstehend genannten Haushaltsgeräten wird dieses Einstellen der Arbeitsprogramme bzw. der Programmparameter vor oder nach dem Einschalten eines Hauptschalters des Gerätes vorgenommen. Ein solcher Hauptschalter besteht vielfach aus einem Druckschalter, der neben dem Drehknebel an der Schalterblende angeordnet ist.In the household appliances mentioned above, this setting of the work programs or the program parameters is made before or after switching on a main switch of the device. Such a main switch often consists of a pressure switch, which is arranged next to the rotary knob on the switch panel.

Es ist Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine versenkbare Drehknebeleinheit entsprechend dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 anzugeben, mit deren Hilfe eine besonders benutzerfreundliche Bedienung mit wenigen Handgriffen ermöglicht ist.It is an object of the invention to provide a retractable rotary knob unit according to the preamble of claim 1, with the help of a particularly user-friendly operation is possible with a few simple steps.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer solchen versenkbaren Drehknebeleinheit dadurch gelöst, dass eine das Haushaltsgerät beeinflussende Hauptschalterfunktion in der Versenkfunktion der Drehknebeleinheit umfasst ist. Dies bedeutet, dass ein Ein- und/oder ein Ausschalten des Haushaltsgerätes bereits durch das Versenken und/oder das Hervorholen des Drehknebels ausgeführt wird. Ein zusätzliches Betätigen einer Ein- / Ausschalttaste entfällt bei dieser Anordnung.This object is achieved in such a retractable rotary knob unit in that a household appliance influencing the main switch function is included in the countersinking function of the rotary knob unit. This means that a switching on and / or off of the household appliance is already carried out by sinking and / or bringing out the rotary knob. An additional pressing an on / off button is omitted in this arrangement.

Vorzugsweise ist die versenkbare Drehknebeleinheit derart gestaltet, dass das Haushaltsgerät in der versenkten Position ausgeschaltet ist. Alternativ kann jedoch vorgesehen sein, dass das Haushaltsgerät nicht grundsätzlich bereits mit der Überführung der Drehknebeleinheit in ihre versenkte Position in den ausgeschalteten Zustand versetzt wird, sondern dass zunächst ein ablaufendes Arbeitsprogramm programmgemäß beendet wird, bevor das Gerät ausgeschaltet wird.Preferably, the retractable rotary knob unit is designed such that the household appliance is switched off in the retracted position. Alternatively, however, it may be provided that the household appliance is not already set to the transfer of the rotary knob in its sunken position in the off state, but that initially a running work program is terminated according to the program before the device is turned off.

Es ist bevorzugt, dass das Haushaltsgerät nach der Überführung der Drehknebeleinheit aus ihrer versenkten Position in ihre hervorstehende Position einschaltbar oder in diesem Zustand bereits eingeschaltet ist. Die Einschaltbarkeit kann dadurch gewährleistet sein, dass das Haushaltsgerät im Sinne eines Standby-Modus noch auf eine Programmeingabe wartet, bevor das eingegebene Arbeitsprogramm gestartet wird. Es kann jedoch auch vorgesehen sein, dass ein definiertes oder von dem Benutzer des Haushaltsgerätes definierbares Standard-Arbeitsprogramm oder ein Programmteil nach dem Einschalten des Haushaltsgerätes durch Hervorholen des Versenkknebels vorzugsweise unmittelbar in Gang gesetzt ist. Viele Benutzer variieren nämlich in ihrer Wahl des Arbeitsprogrammes nur sehr wenig, so dass in der überwiegenden Zahl der Programmabläufe nur ein einziges Arbeitsprogramm standardmäßig zum Einsatz kommt. Ein solches Standardprogramm ist besonders dafür geeignet, unmittelbar nach dem Einschalten des Gerätes, gegebenenfalls nach einer Wartezeit für ein mögliches Umwählen, unmittelbar oder durch Betätigen einer separaten oder durch eine in der Drehknebeleinheit umfassten Startfunktion in Gang gesetzt zu werden.It is preferred that the household appliance after the transfer of the rotary knob unit from its retracted position in its protruding position is switched on or already switched on in this state. The switchability can be ensured be that the household appliance in the form of a standby mode is still waiting for a program input before the entered work program is started. However, it can also be provided that a defined or definable by the user of the household appliance standard work program or a program part is preferably set immediately after switching on the household appliance by highlighting the countersink. In fact, many users vary very little in their choice of work program, so that in the vast majority of programs, only a single work program is used by default. Such a standard program is particularly suitable to be set immediately after switching on the device, optionally after a waiting time for a possible redirecting, directly or by pressing a separate or included in the rotary knob unit start function in motion.

Vorzugsweise ist an der Drehknebeleinheit wenigstens ein Schalter angekoppelt, der von einer an einem Schaft der Drehknebeleinheit angeordneten Betätigungseinrichtung geschaltet wird. Diese Betätigungseinrichtung vollzieht insbesondere den gleichen axialen Hub, den auch der Drehknebel beim Versenken bzw. Hervorholen macht.Preferably, at least one switch is coupled to the rotary toggle unit, which is switched by an actuator arranged on a shaft of the rotary toggle unit. This actuator performs in particular the same axial stroke, which also makes the rotary knob when sinking or Hervourholen.

In einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist der wenigstens eine Schalter ein Mikroschalter, der von einer vorzugsweise rampenförmig ausgestalteten Betätigungseinrichtung schaltbar ist.In a particular embodiment of the invention, the at least one switch is a microswitch, which can be switched by a preferably ramp-shaped actuator.

Die Erfindung wird im folgenden anhand der Zeichnungen eines Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert.The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawings of an embodiment.

Eines dieser Bedienelemente ist ein Drehwählschalter 5, der für das Einstellen von Waschprogrammen und auch einzelnen Programmparametern vorgesehen ist. Dieser Drehwahlschalter 5 weist einen Drehknebel 7 auf, der zu einer Betätigung des Drehwahlschalters 5 mit der Hand dient. Dieser Drehknebel 7 lässt sich von einer in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellten versenkten Position in eine hervorstehende Position überführen, welches mittels einer Überhubfunktion, vergleichbar mit einer Kugelschreibermechanik, gewährleistet ist. Ausschließlich in der hervorgeholten Position gemäß Figur 3 ist ein Betätigen des Drehwahlschalters möglich, da in der versenkten Position (siehe Figur 1) die vordere Drehknebelfläche in einer bündigen Lage mit der Schalterblende ist.A domestic washing machine, not shown, has a control panel unit 1 with a switch panel 3, which comprises operating and display elements. One of these controls is a rotary selector switch 5, which is provided for the setting of washing programs and also individual program parameters. This rotary selector switch 5 has a rotary knob 7, which serves to actuate the rotary selector switch 5 by hand. This rotary knob 7 can be from a in the FIGS. 1 and 2 transferred recessed position in a protruding position, which is ensured by means of an overstroke function, comparable to a ballpoint pen mechanism. Exclusively in the highlighted position according to FIG. 3 Actuation of the rotary selector switch is possible because in the retracted position (see FIG. 1 ) is the front rotary knob surface in a flush position with the switch panel.

Die Versenkfunktion der Drehknebeleinheit hat neben der Aufgabe, ein ansprechendes Design vorzusehen, noch eine Hauptschalterfunktion, mit der die Waschmaschine ein- und ausgeschaltet wird. Zu diesem Zweck sind am feststehenden Korpus 9 der versenkbaren Drehknebeleinheit 7 zwei Mikroschalter 11, 11' angeordnet. Jeder dieser Mikroschalter 11, 11' weist einen zweipoligen Anschlusskontakt 13, 13' auf, wobei jeder Mikroschalter einen Pol L bzw. N der Stromversorgung schaltet, so dass ein allpoliges Ein- und Ausschalten ermöglicht ist.The countersink function of the rotary toggle unit, in addition to the task of providing an attractive design, nor a main switch function with which the washing machine is switched on and off. For this purpose, two microswitches 11, 11 'are arranged on the fixed body 9 of the retractable rotary toggle unit 7. Each of these micro-switches 11, 11 'has a two-pole terminal contact 13, 13', each microswitch a pole L or N of the power supply switches, so that an all-pole switching on and off is possible.

Beide Schaltstößel 15, 15'der Mikroschalter 11, 11' zeigen zum Schaft 17 des versenkbaren Drehknebels, welcher zusammen mit dem Drehknebel 7 axial bewegbar ist. An diesem Schaft 17 sind zwei Schaltrampen 19, 19' starr angekoppelt und werden mit diesem axial geführt. Im versenkten Zustand des Drehknebels 7 befinden sich die Schaltrampen 19, 19' entfernt von den Schaltstößeln 15, 15', so dass Letztere entspannt und die Mikroschalter 11, 11' ausgeschaltet sind. Wird der Drehknebel 7 in seine herausgestellte Position überführt, so betätigen die Schaltrampen 19, 19' die jeweiligen Schaltstößel 15, 15' der Mikroschalter 11, 11'. Die Haushalt-Waschmaschine ist somit allpolig an die Stromversorgung angeschlossen. Umgekehrt wird das Gerät beim erneuten Versenken des Drehknebels 7 wieder von der Stromversorgung getrennt. Nach dem Einschalten der Waschmaschine kann der Benutzer in gewohnter Weise eine Programmwahl treffen.Both switch plunger 15, 15 'of the microswitch 11, 11' point to the shaft 17 of the retractable rotary knob, which is axially movable together with the rotary knob 7. On this shaft 17 are two switching ramps 19, 19 'rigidly coupled and are guided axially with this. In the retracted state of the rotary knob 7 are the switching ramps 19, 19 'away from the switching plungers 15, 15', so that the latter relaxed and the micro-switches 11, 11 'are turned off. If the rotary knob 7 is transferred to its exposed position, then actuate the switching ramps 19, 19 'the respective switching plunger 15, 15' of the microswitch 11, 11 '. The household washing machine is thus connected to the power supply all-pole. Conversely, the device is again disconnected from the power supply when re sinking the rotary knob 7. After switching on the washing machine, the user can make a program selection in the usual way.
