In a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, it is proposed that the evaluation unit is provided during a selection of a sequence program the expected consumption of the external resource taking into account at least one variable evaluation parameter evaluate. A "sequence program" is to be understood as meaning, in particular, a program which is stored and automatically runs at a fixed point in time, in particular a cooking program or a washing program A "selection of a sequence program" should in particular be understood to mean an operating procedure by an operator in which the operator selects a sequence program in a first step and selects it in a second step. The sequence program selected in the first step and selected in the second step then starts at a point in time which is determined by the operator and is preferably influenced by the evaluation unit.

FIG. 1 shows a domestic appliance 12 designed as an oven 26 with a domestic appliance device according to the invention. The home appliance device comprises an evaluation unit 10, which is intended to evaluate a power consumption of the domestic appliance 12 in kWh, and an output unit 14 for outputting the evaluated consumption. In addition, the evaluation unit 10 is specifically designed to evaluate the energy consumption taking into account at least one variable evaluation parameter. In the present case, the variable evaluation parameter is the cost in euros per kWh of electrical energy. Thus, the evaluation unit 10 is able to convert the energy consumption of the household appliance 12 in energy costs in euros. The home appliance device comprises an input unit 18, which is provided for inputting the costs in euros per kWh of electrical energy. The evaluation unit 10 comprises a memory unit 16 and is intended to store the costs in euros per kWh of electrical energy in the memory unit 16. Furthermore, the evaluation unit 10 is provided to store a baking time and an accumulated energy consumption in kWh for the baking process in the storage unit 16 at the end of a baking process. The evaluation unit 10 is designed in one piece with a control unit 22 of the domestic appliance 12. The output unit 14 comprises a display unit and is embodied in one piece with an operating state output unit 24 of the domestic appliance 12. Alternatively or in addition to the input unit 18, the home appliance device may include a communication unit 20, which is intended to provide the cost in euros per kWh of electrical Energy, especially at different times of the day to determine electronically, in particular via an Internet connection from a power exchange and / or from an electricity meter. Fig. 2 shows the components of the home appliance device schematically in a block diagram.

3 shows a display of the display unit of the output unit 14. The display is divided into four information areas: an operation display area 38, a time display area 40, a temperature display area 42, and a usage display area 44. The operation display area 38 is intended to provide an operator with an up-to-date information Operating state of the household appliance 12 to inform. The time display area 40 is provided to numerically display a current time, an elapsed cooking time or a baking time of a sequence program. The temperature display area 42 is provided to symbolically display a target temperature numerically and an actual temperature in the form of a bar chart. The consumption display area 44 is intended to display a current power consumption of the domestic appliance 12 in kW, an accumulated or anticipated energy consumption of the domestic appliance 12 in kWh, or accumulated or anticipated energy costs in euros. Fig. 3 shows the display of the display unit of the output unit 14 shortly after entering the cost in euros per kWh of electrical energy. The operation display area 38, the time display area 40, and the temperature display area 42 show zero positions without information content. The consumption display area 44, however, shows the cost in euros per kWh of electrical energy. In the present case, the costs in Euro per kWh of electrical energy are 0, 15 Euro / kWh.

The evaluation unit 10 implements a method for evaluating a consumption of at least one external resource by a domestic appliance 12 having a domestic appliance device according to the invention with an output unit 14 for outputting the evaluated consumption, wherein the consumption of the external resource is evaluated taking into account a variable evaluation parameter. In the present case, the changeable evaluation para- the cost in euros per kWh of electrical energy. Based on the flowchart in Fig. 4, an information content of the display of the display unit of the output unit 14 is determined by the evaluation unit 10. In a step 50, which represents a basic state of the display, is determined by the

Evaluation unit 10 calculates a current power consumption of the oven 26 based on tabular values for the currently operating heating units of the oven 26. The current power consumption of the oven 26 is transmitted to the output unit 14 together with a current time, an operating state of the domestic appliance 12 and a setpoint and actual temperature.

Fig. 5a shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 during a baking process. The operation display area 38 indicates operation with circulating air and top heat. The time display area 40 displays a current time. The temperature display area 42 indicates a target temperature of 180 ° C and a current actual temperature by means of the bar graph. Of the

Consumption display area 44 indicates a current power consumption of 1, 325 kW. Fig. 6a shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 after a baking process. The operation display area 38 indicates that the home appliance 12 is turned off. The time display area 40 displays a current time. The temperature display area 42 shows a setpoint

Temperature of 0 ° C and a current actual temperature using the bar graph on. The consumption display area 44 indicates a current power consumption of 0 kW. As can be seen from the bar graph in the temperature display area 42, the oven 26 still has residual heat from a previous baking process.

Step 52 represents a triggering event in which an operator requests a change of the display by means of the input unit 18. First, it is checked in a step 54 whether heating units of the oven 26 are in operation. If this is the case, then the evaluation unit 10 calculates in a step 56 a baking time of a baking process as well as an accumulated energy consumption in kWh for the baking process from tabular values for the currently operated heating units of the baking process Oven 26. The baking time and the accumulated energy consumption in kWh are communicated to the output unit 14 together with an operating state of the domestic appliance 12 and a setpoint and actual temperature. Fig. 5b shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 for this case. The operation display area 38 indicates operation with circulating air and top heat. Of the

Time display area 40 indicates a baking time of 15 minutes 40 seconds. The temperature display area 42 indicates a target temperature of 180 ° C and a current actual temperature by means of the bar graph. The consumption display area 44 indicates an accumulated energy consumption of 0.475 kWh for the baking process. In a step 58 it is checked whether the operator within a period of 4 s by means of the input unit 18 requests a further change of the display of the display unit of the output unit 14. If this is not the case, the display returns to the initial state of step 50. If the operator requests a change of the display by means of the input unit 18 within the period of 4 s, a check is made in step 60 as to whether the costs in euros per kWh of electrical energy are stored in the memory unit 16 of the evaluation unit 10. If this is not the case, the display returns to the initial state of step 50. If the costs are stored in euros per kWh of electrical energy in the memory unit 16 of the evaluation unit 10, the evaluation unit 10 calculates in a step 62 accumulated energy costs in euros for the baking process from the accumulated energy consumption in kWh. The accumulated energy costs in euros are transmitted to the output unit 14. Fig. 5c shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 for this case. The operation display area 38 indicates operation with circulating air and top heat. The time display area 40 shows a baking time of

15 min 40 s on The temperature display area 42 indicates a setpoint temperature of 180 ° C and a current actual temperature by means of the bar graph. The consumption display area 44 indicates accumulated energy costs of 0.055 euros for the baking process. After a period of 4 seconds, the display returns to the initial state of step 50. If it results in step 54 that no heating units of the oven 26 are in operation, it is checked in step 64 whether a selection of a cooking program is currently taking place. If this is the case, then in a step 66, an estimated energy consumption in kWh stored in the memory unit 16 for the currently selected program is read out by the evaluation unit 10. The stored prospective energy consumption represents an average value of the energy consumption for the currently selected cooking program. If no average energy consumption in kWh has yet been stored for the cooking program in question, the display of the display unit of the output unit 14 returns to the basic state of step 50. Should be for that

If an average energy consumption is available to the cooking program, this value is transmitted to the output unit 14 together with operating parameters of the selected cooking program. Fig. 7a shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 for this case. The operation indicator area 38 indicates that a selection of a cooking program is currently taking place.

The time display area 40 indicates a selected baking time of 1 hour. The temperature display area 42 indicates a target temperature of 150 ° C and a current actual temperature by means of the bar graph. The consumption display area 44 indicates an estimated energy consumption of 0.720 kWh for the selected cooking program. In a step 68 it is checked whether the operator within a period of 4 s by means of the input unit 18 requests a change of display of the display unit of the output unit 14. If this is not the case, the display returns to the initial state of step 50. If the operator requests a change of the display by means of the input unit 18 within the time span of 4 s, then in a step 70 it is checked whether the costs in euros per kWh of electrical energy are stored in the memory unit 16 of the evaluation unit 10. If this is not the case, the display returns to the initial state of step 50. If the costs in euro per kWh of electrical energy are stored in the memory unit 16 of the evaluation unit 10, then in a step 72 estimated energy costs in euros for the selected cooking program are calculated from the estimated energy consumption in kWh. The expected energy costs in euros are transferred to the output unit 14. averages. Fig. 7b shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 for this case. The operation display area 38 indicates that a selection of a cooking program is in progress. The time display area 40 indicates a selected baking time of 1 hour. The temperature display area 42 indicates a target temperature of 150 ° C and a current actual temperature by means of the bar graph. The consumption display area 44 displays estimated energy costs of 0.083 euros for the selected cooking program. After a period of 4 seconds, the display returns to the initial state of step 50.

If it results in step 64 that no selection of a cooking program takes place, the current operating state of the domestic appliance 12 is a stand-by operation with advantageously low energy consumption. In a step 74, a baking time and an accumulated consumption of a last baking process are read out of the memory unit 16 by the evaluation unit 10. The

Baking time and the accumulated consumption of the last baking process are transmitted to the output unit 14 together with an actual temperature. Fig. 6b shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 for this case. The operation display area 38 indicates that the home appliance 12 is turned off. The time display area 40 indicates a baking time of 30 minutes 20 seconds for the last baking operation. The temperature display area 42 indicates a target temperature of 0 ° C and a current actual temperature by means of the bar graph. The consumption display area 44 indicates an accumulated energy consumption of 0.625 kWh for the last baking process. In a step 76 it is checked whether the operator within a period of 4 s by means of

Input unit 18 requests a further different display of the display unit of the output unit 14. If this is not the case, the display returns to the initial state of step 50. If the operator requests a further display by means of the input unit 18 within the period of 4 s, then it is checked in a step 78 whether the costs in euros per kWh of electrical energy in the

Memory unit 16 of the evaluation unit 10 are stored. If this is not the case, the display returns to the initial state of step 50. Are the costs in Euro per kWh electrical energy stored in the memory unit 16 of the evaluation unit 10, the evaluation unit 10 calculates in a step 80 accumulated energy costs in euros for the last baking from the accumulated energy consumption in kWh. The accumulated energy costs in euros are transmitted to the output unit 14. Fig. 6c shows a possible display of the display unit of the output unit 14 for this case. The operation display area 38 indicates that the home appliance 12 is turned off. The time display area 40 indicates a baking time of 30 minutes 20 seconds. The temperature display area 42 indicates a target temperature of 0 ° C and a current actual temperature by means of the bar graph. The consumption display area 44 shows accumulated

Energy costs of 0.071 Euro for the last baking process. After a period of 4 seconds, the display returns to the initial state of step 50.

In an alternative embodiment of the home appliance device, it would also be conceivable that the evaluation unit 10 is intended to calculate an instantaneous power consumption, an accumulated energy consumption and accumulated energy costs of the domestic appliance 12 by means of measured rather than stored values. For this purpose, the evaluation unit 10 may have suitable measuring units, in particular current and / or voltage measuring devices. Alternatively or additionally, the evaluation unit 10 may specify the cost per kWh of electrical energy in any other currency. For this purpose, a correspondingly different symbol in the display unit of the output unit 14 may be provided instead of the euro symbol. Alternatively or additionally, it is conceivable that the evaluation unit 10 is provided to block operation of the domestic appliance 12 depending on the cost in euros per kWh of electrical energy. Thus, an oven 26 could be created, which only starts a cooking program when the cost in euros per kWh of electrical energy falls below a predetermined or predeterminable limit. In this way it can be achieved that the oven 26 then starts a baking program when the energy costs for a baking process are low. This is especially the case at night. Alternatively or additionally, it is also conceivable that the evaluation unit 10 is provided for this purpose. it is seen to store in the memory unit 16 in each case an accumulated consumption as a function of at least two grouping parameters. The grouping parameters can be the names of users. Thus, the evaluation unit 10 can store at least two users each accumulated total consumption. When starting the domestic appliance 12, a user selects his user profile and thus receives information about his last operation of the domestic appliance 12 and / or about a total accumulated consumption in a predetermined period. He also receives information about operating costs caused by him. The predeterminable period can, for example, extend over a month or over a year. As a result, billing of the operating costs of the household appliance 12 when using the household appliance 12 jointly by a plurality of users can be considerably simplified. Advantageously, the output unit 14 then has an output interface, in particular a USB interface, via which downloading of the stored data, in particular in tabular form, is possible.

The domestic appliance device according to the invention can be used apart from an insert in an oven in any other domestic appliance. In particular, in washing machines and dishwashers can be evaluated in addition to energy costs and water costs. In particular, in a gas stove gas costs can be evaluated. Furthermore, use in electric cooktops, in particular induction cooktops, and in tumble driers is conceivable.
