Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a large household appliance, with at least one antenna.
  • Household appliances with antennas are known, the antennas being attached to an outside of the household appliance as dedicated rod antennas. This creates a disadvantageous visual appearance. It is also known to arrange antennas on control circuit boards built into the household appliance, which, however, prevents effective data transmission, particularly in the case of household appliances with metallic or otherwise electrically conductive outer walls.
  • A1 disclosed relates to a cooking appliance, in particular a commercial combi steamer, in which the insertion of food to be cooked into the cooking chamber and its position are detected.
  • a window is preferably provided in the cooking chamber.
  • the window can have an RFID antenna. This can be applied above all to the window, in particular to the outside of the window, that is to say on the side of the window which faces away from the interior of the cooking chamber. This protects the RFID antenna from mechanical damage or contamination.
  • a particularly favorable manufacturing variant is to print the RFID antenna onto the window.
  • WO 2010/125786 A1 discloses a cooking appliance with a door which is equipped with an operating and display device.
  • a door handle of the door there is a communication device for communication with a control device present in a body of the cooking appliance.
  • DE 10 2008 041 394 A1 discloses that an identification mark that can be read contactlessly is equipped with data about a product stored on it, the data having at least one piece of sales information about a sale of the product and at least one piece of product information about a type and/or treatment of the product.
  • the sales information is stored uncoded and the product information is stored coded.
  • the domestic appliance is set up to display read out sales information undecoded on the display unit and the treatment process on the To control the basis of a read encoded product information.
  • the method has the step of displaying sales information contained in the read data about the sale of the product on a display unit in plain text, as well as the step of controlling a course of treatment on the basis of coded product information contained in the read data.
  • JP 2003227615 A discloses a microwave oven equipped with an antenna for communication with an external unit, the antenna being inserted into a hollow door handle made of synthetic resin.
  • a household appliance having at least one antenna in the form of a rod antenna and a transmitter and receiver coupled to the at least one antenna and designed to establish a mobile radio connection, the at least one rod antenna being fitted into a handle of an elongate handle of the household appliance Is integrated in the form of a door handle or in the form of an additional handle, the household appliance is set up by means of the transmitter, the receiver and the antenna for data networking of the household appliance and the rod antenna is designed as an electrically conductive part of a surface of the handle.
  • This household appliance has the advantage that effective data transmission from and/or to the household appliance can be achieved in a visually unobtrusive manner, specifically also for household appliances with metallic side walls.
  • the rod antenna is integrated into a door handle of the household appliance, the household appliance can be equipped with a transmitter without a change that is noticeable to the user. Since the associated handle also typically from the Household appliance protrudes, a very wide-angle radiation pattern and thus good reception of the signals emitted by the antenna is possible.
  • the auxiliary handle of the household appliance can be a front handle for handling and moving the household appliance.
  • the rod antenna may also be integrated into a handle of a kettle etc. handle.
  • the household appliance is in particular an electrical (electrically operated) household appliance, in particular a large household appliance such as a cooker, an oven, a hob, a refrigerator, a freezer, a chest freezer, a sterilizer, a washing machine, a dishwasher and/or a tumble dryer.
  • the household appliance can also be a small household appliance, such as a kettle, a toaster, etc.
  • the transmitter and receiver coupled to the at least one rod antenna can be embodied as a transceiver.
  • the transmitter can be set up to transmit sensor data from one or more sensors arranged in the household appliance.
  • the transmitter, in particular the transceiver can alternatively or additionally be designed to establish a mobile radio connection, e.g. for remote control of the household appliance or for its data networking.
  • the transmitter can be coupled to a control device of the household appliance.
  • the rod antenna can in particular be a monopole or dipole antenna.
  • the household appliance has metallic outer walls.
  • the invention is particularly useful for such a household appliance, since it is otherwise difficult to transmit electromagnetic signals in an optically inconspicuous manner.
  • household appliances may include, for example, refrigerators, laundry treating appliances, and so on.
  • the household appliance includes an oven, in particular a microwave oven and/or baking oven.
  • Fig.1 shows a section of a household appliance in the form of an oven 1 in an oblique view.
  • the oven 1 has metallic outer walls 10, for example made of sheet steel.
  • the baking oven 1 also has a downward-opening oven door 2 on which a door handle 3 with a cylindrical handle 4 is attached.
  • the oven door 2 may have a viewing window, but does not need it.
  • a rod antenna is integrated in the door handle, more precisely in the handle 4 .
  • the outer wall of the handle 4 is at least partially electrically conductive and consequently represents the antenna. Leads to the handle 4 or the antenna accommodated therein can be routed, for example, through the handle attachments 5 holding the handle 4 .
  • the oven 1 also has two additional handles in the form of vertical handles 7 on its front side 6 .
  • the handles 7 can be used, for example, to facilitate the use of the oven 1 in built-in furniture (o. Fig.).
  • An antenna can also be integrated in each of the handles 7, specifically in that the electrically conductive handles 7 are designed directly as an antenna.
  • the handles 7 are vertical here, they can also have a different position, for example, be aligned horizontally.
  • Handles 7 are designed vertically here, but they can also have a different position, e.g. be aligned horizontally.
  • the baking oven 1 also has a control panel 8 made of stainless steel, which has a number of control elements 9 .
  • Fig.2 shows an oven 11 not according to the invention in a front view from the front.
  • a slit-shaped recess 13 in the control panel 12, which corresponds to an electrically non-conductive outer wall area.
  • the slit-shaped recess 13 allows electromagnetic waves, in particular radio waves, to pass through.
  • the associated antenna 14 can be arranged behind the recess 13 .
  • the recess 13 may represent part of a slot antenna.
  • the baking oven 11 can also have a number of recesses 13 .
  • the recess or recesses 13 can have a suitable position, e.g. horizontally, vertically, etc.
  • Fig.3 shows a front view of another oven 21 not according to the invention.
  • This oven 21 has a control panel 22 with an electrically non-conductive outer wall area in the form of a translucent front panel 23 made of plastic or glass as a panel cover.
  • a control knob 24 protrudes through the front panel 23.
  • Two display areas 25 are visible through the front panel 23.
  • a thin patch antenna 26 is fixed flat behind the front panel 23 and the front panel 23 is permeable to the signals from this antenna.
  • the patch antenna 26 can, for example, be in the form of a panel antenna with a plurality of patch fields.
  • the slit-shaped cutout may be covered by an electrically non-conductive cover, eg a screen cover.
  • an electrically non-conductive cover eg a screen cover.
  • a slot antenna may be present in a metal carrier behind a non-electrically conductive cover.
  • a patch antenna to, in particular behind, an (electrically non-conductive) viewing window in the form of a door window, e.g. of a microwave oven, in particular between a glass or plastic pane and a microwave shield.
  • the antenna can also be attached to a door window of an oven, e.g.
