Description

  • The present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a knob which is located on the panel.
  • In some of the household appliances used today, on the panel there are knobs that provide the household appliance to be controlled and carriers having a display that shows the working parameters and data such as time, calendar, recipe, etc. In the state of the art, the carrier and the panel are joined by means of the claw disposed on the panel. As a result of the long-time usage of the knobs placed onto the carriers or the excessive force applied by the user onto the knobs, the connection between the carrier and the panel loosens, even the carrier may detach from the panel. Consequently, the user cannot control the household appliance in the desired manner.
  • In the state of the European Patent No. EP2031112 , a washing machine having a control panel is described. On the control panel, the display and the panel are joined by means of the claws.
  • US 2008/289940 A1 discloses a household appliance according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • In the state of the art Chinese Patent Document No. CN201246784 , a cooking device comprising an electronic clock, a carrier and a panel is described. The carrier is mounted to the panel by means of the connection elements fitted into the openings on the electronic clock.
  • The aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a panel providing the user with long-lasting lifespan.
  • The household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof comprises a panel having at least one opening and a housing, and a knob on the panel, that provides the desired working function to be selected by being actuated. Behind the panel, there is a hole that is aligned with the opening so that their centers coincide in the horizontal plane, a carrier having a display placed at the back of the housing so as to be seen from the front of the panel, and a circuit board that detects the selected program parameter. The household appliance furthermore comprises a cylindrical sleeve that connects the carrier and the panel by being passed through the opening and the hole, a nut that is fitted over the said sleeve and that prevents the sleeve from dislodging, and a shaft that is passed through the hole and that transmits the movement of the knob to the circuit board.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, at the end of the sleeve there is a skirt larger than the diameter of the opening, that facilitates the placement of the sleeve to the panel. By means of the skirt bearing against the surface of the panel, the sleeve is prevented from advancing in the opening more than desired.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the widths of the sleeve, the opening and the hole are almost the same. Thus, the sleeve passes through the opening and the hole and connects the panel and the carrier.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, matching screw threads that provide the nut to advance on the sleeve are bored at the inner side of the nut and at the outer side of the sleeve. Thus, the nut is mounted onto the sleeve in an easy and secure manner.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, the claws at the back of the panel are fitted to the gaps on the carrier. Thus, the strength of the assembly is improved.
  • In an embodiment of the present invention, there are ribs that extend from the carrier towards the panel in the horizontal plane. Thus, the panel does not directly contact the carrier, but it is supported by the ribs.
  • In a derivative of this embodiment, the rib extends so as to completely surround the display and the holes.
  • In a derivative of this embodiment, the rib extends all around the hole.
  • Some deformations occur on the panel due to the long time usage of the knobs on the panel, that are actuated by being pushed. Mounting the carrier to the panel by means of the sleeve and the nut minimizes the deformations occurring on the carrier and the panel.
  • The model embodiments relating to a household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention are illustrated in the attached figures, where:
    • Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a household appliance.
    • Figure 2 - is the exploded view of a panel, a carrier, sleeves and nuts in an embodiment of the present invention.
    • Figure 3 - is the rear perspective view of a carrier in an embodiment of the present invention.
    • Figure 4 - is the sideways crosssection view of a panel, a carrier, a circuit board, a sleeve and a nut in an embodiment of the present invention.
