There, via the light distribution element, a forwarding of the light to the display areas, which are provided on the surface of the operating element. In this respect, no active lighting is necessary in the control itself.
  • An example provided below the control panel bulbs can in Depending on an operating state of the household appliance produce different colors or luminous intensities. As a result, an operating state of the household appliance can be derived flexibly on the operating element even for the user. In this respect, slightly changing light conditions can be provided in the display areas of the operating element.
  • the diffuser element comprises a sleeve-shaped section for enclosing the axle and a plate section for collecting the light.
  • the plate portion may be made flat in the manner of a disc from which the sleeve-shaped portion projects.

  • the flat plate section collects light that is generated below the control panel.
  • the diffuser element comprises a hole for the axis.
  • the light distribution element has a flat coupling portion and light guide portions projecting from the coupling portion.
  • the coupling section is used, for example, for receiving and transmitting the light, which is guided over the sleeve-shaped section of the diffuser element upwards along the axis or the shaft.
  • the coupling portion can couple directly to the sleeve-shaped portion, but it can also be provided a distance.
  • the operating element further comprises, in embodiments, a handling element for non-rotatably coupling to the axle.
  • a handling element for non-rotatably coupling to the axle.

  • By changing, for example, the light color as a function of a rotational position it is possible to dispense with printing or markings on the upper side of the control panel.
  • the Fig. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a first embodiment of an operating element for an operating device.
  • the operating element 1 is designed, for example, in the manner of a control or rotary knob or knob and serves to actuate or rotate an axle or a shaft 2.
  • the Fig. 1 It shows an operating panel or a control panel 13 is provided, which is for example part of a cooktop panel made of metal, toughened glass or glass ceramic. Below the control panel 13, for example, valves, such as valves or the like, are provided below the control panel 13, for example.
  • valves such as valves or the like
  • a valve means 3 is provided below the control panel 13, and a valve axis 2 extends through an opening 14 in the control panel to above the operator.
  • the control element 1 now includes a for visible light transparent diffuser element 4, which comprises a plate-shaped portion 5 below the control panel 13, and a sleeve-shaped portion 6, which surrounds the valve axis 2 and extends to above the control panel 13.
  • the disk portion 5 is configured to collect light L radiated from below onto the disk portion 5, to converge along the sleeve portion 6, and to guide upward.
  • a light source 12 is provided on a circuit board 11 which is fixed, for example, on the axis 2.
  • the luminous means 12 radiates light L in the direction of the plate section 5 or the diffuser element 4.
  • the light irradiation is set as a function of an operating state of the appliance controlled by means of the valve 3 and the operating element 1.
  • the valve serves to supply gas in a gas stove. Then, for example, red light is emitted at a particularly high heat output of the gas burner to be operated, and blue light when the gas burner is switched off.
  • valve axis 2 Attached to the valve axis 2, on the one hand, is a handling element 8, which is ergonomically shaped and can be easily gripped by the operator.
  • the valve axis 2 is arranged against rotation in a corresponding receptacle 9 of the handling element 8.
  • the operating element 1 further comprises a light distribution element 7, which rests against the sleeve portion 6 of the diffuser element 4 and is also made of transparent material.
  • the light distribution element 7 distributes the light L received from below, which has been conducted via the diffuser element 4 in the direction of the interior of the handling element 8, to predetermined display areas 15, which an operator can perceive from outside. For example, individual points on the control element 1 may be provided to illuminate. Both the diffuser element 4 and the light distribution element serve as light guides.
  • control element An advantage of the embodiment of the control element is that, in particular, no active lighting means must be provided in the control knob or knob. Also, no flexible optical fibers, such as fibers or cables, necessary. Rather, the entire control knob can be made of a rigid material, such as plastic. It is however, a metal version conceivable.
  • the handling element 8 may be made of a non-transparent metal, such as aluminum, stainless steel or the like, while the light-conducting elements, namely the diffuser element 3 and the light distribution element 7, are made of transparent plastics.
  • the sleeve section 6 and the light distribution element 7 are spaced apart from one another so that light is transmitted via a gap.
  • FIG. 2 shows a plan view of the operating element 10, the Fig. 3 a perspective view and the Fig. 4 a view of the individual elements of the operating element 10 in a disassembled state, for example, prior to assembly.
  • the handling element 8 which forms the actual control knob 10 has a ring portion 21, a handling portion 20 and a lid portion 19, which rests on the ring portion 21.
  • the handling portion 20 forms a sword, which can be gripped, for example, by thumb and forefinger, one can also speak of a gripping portion.
  • a point-shaped display area 17 results on the handling element 8 and a plurality of line-shaped display areas 23 on the ring section 21.
  • the handling sections 19, 20 can be rotated, for example, with respect to the ring section 21.
  • the ring portion 21 further includes a reference display area 24 which is punctiform. If the control knob or the handle portion 20 and the lid portion 19 is rotated relative to the ring portion 21, this can be easily recognized by the operator, since the line-shaped display areas 23 and the reference display area 24 as well as the dot-shaped display area 24 light up. It is also possible that both the ring portion 21, the lid portion 19 and the handle portion 20 are fixed to each other.
  • the display areas 17, 23, 24 are formed by light-conducting elements from the interior of the control knob 10, which openings 18, 22, 26 in the handling element 8 fill.
  • the disassembled state as in the Fig. 4 is shown, one recognizes, for example, on the handling element 8, an upper opening 18 on the gripping element or portion 20.
  • the annular portion 21 has slot-shaped openings 22 and a point or circular opening 26th
  • the light distribution element 7 in this case comprises a coupling portion 25, which is formed flat, projecting from the rod or cylindrical Lichtleitabroughe 24.
  • the coupling portion 25 is illuminated by leaking light from the sleeve portion 6 of the diffuser element 4.
  • the diffuser element 4 in this case has a plate-shaped or plate-shaped plate section 5 which collects the light from, for example, an LED or other lighting means and leads upwards in the direction of the coupling section 25.
  • flat light-guiding elements 23 are provided, which can be used accordingly. Overall, for example, results in a positive connection between the handling element 8 and the Lichtvermaschinelement 7 and the Lichtverteilettin 23.
  • the coupling portion 25 which can be referred to as a light-collecting plate, the light received from the sleeve portion 6 to the display areas, which are visible to the outside ( see. Fig. 2 and 3 , Reference numerals 23, 17, 24) and can be perceived by the operator of the corresponding household appliance.
  • the lighting can be controlled as a function of an operating state of the operated household appliance or an angular position of the operating element. Due to the passive lighting, the control knob is particularly fail-safe. A twisting of, for example, optical fibers, which must be additionally guided along the axis, can not be done. Due to the lighting by arbitrarily graphically executable display areas, for example, to a printing or labeling of the control knob itself and a potentially present cooktop panel or control panel or control panel are omitted. In particular, in household appliances that already provide an electronic detection of the angular position of an axis below the control panel, additional bulbs can be easily provided, which are controlled accordingly.
  • the proposed control knob with integrated light-weight elements is particularly well suited for use in appropriate household appliances as a control knob.
