Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance, in particular an electric iron, with a housing and a light body provided within the housing, wherein on the housing, a light-transmissive region is arranged, in the vicinity of the light body is provided.
  • the indicator lamp of a household appliance is usually designed such that a light collecting means, such as a light collecting device, is provided at the rear of the indicator lamp area.
  • a convex portion provided with a concave portion provided with a prism serving as a translucent plate which collects and reflects light when irradiated with light, thereby avoiding light scattering so that the task of displaying the light source in a predetermined direction is satisfied.
  • a design requires a complicated construction, a high number of parts, and a not sufficiently simple assembly process.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a household appliance, in particular iron, with an improved translucent display structure.
  • the household appliance according to the invention is based on generic household appliances, in particular iron, characterized in that within the housing a the Light body is at least partially enclosing opaque wall is provided without extending between the light body and the transparent area of the housing; or in other words: which does not extend to between the light body and the translucent area of the housing.
  • the opaque wall is a wall that does not let the light through.
  • the opaque wall it is possible to largely prevent propagation of the light emitted from the light body in the circumferential direction, and instead, the light basically propagates only through the light transmissive area, so that the illuminance increases, and the display lamp of a household appliance is visually significantly improved.
  • the opaque wall is preferably integrally formed with the housing.
  • the manufacturing process is simplified, and additional assembly processes can be omitted.
  • the opaque wall forms the light body enclosing a semi-closed box.
  • the appropriate box design scattering of the light emitted from the light body in the circumferential direction can be better precluded, and instead the light is concentratedly irradiated in one direction, so that the irradiance is increased.
  • the box preferably has a movable lid. With the movable lid of the box for inexpensive installation or removal of the light body can be opened.
  • the lid is preferably formed integrally with the box.
  • the manufacturing process is simplified, and additional assembly processes can be dispensed with.
  • the box preferably has an inlet opening for mounting the light body in the box.
  • the size of the entrance opening is preferably adapted corresponding to the light body, so that after inserting the light body through this input opening into the box, the light body completely blocks the entry opening and no light is emitted through it.
  • a snap-in slot for fastening the light body in the box is provided in the box. With the snap-in slot, the light body can be better secured in the box.
  • the housing is semi- or semitransparent. Since, with the opaque wall, the light emitted from the light body can be effectively collected and emitted through the semi-transparent or semi-transparent housing, there is no need to separately provide a light-transmissive area for irradiating the light from the light body.
  • the domestic appliance is an iron whose housing comprises a main housing and a rear lid.
  • the opaque wall is preferably provided on the rear lid, which preferably forms the light body enclosing a semi-closed box.
  • the box has a movable lid, wherein a bulge is provided on the main housing, which supports the box lid during installation of the rear lid on the main housing, so that the lid closes.
  • the movable lid can be better supported, so that the lid is kept closed, and thus a negative light leak on the light collection is avoided.
  • FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the electric iron 100 according to the invention.
  • the iron 100 is a steam iron with a steam generating device, which comprises a housing 1 and a bottom 2.
  • the housing 1 is usually made of plastic, and includes a handle 11 and a seated in the housing 1 water tank (not shown).
  • the handle 11 has an ergonomically curved inner wall for convenient retention of the iron 100 for a user.
  • the floor 2 has a metal base plate (not shown) disposed on the bottom side of the housing 1 for ironing clothes and an electric heating element (not shown) for heating the metal base plate.
  • the electric heating element may comprise a high-resistance resistance wire whose negative or positive terminals are connected via cables with a 220V or 110V AC power supply.
  • On the base plate a plurality of through holes (not shown) are provided.
  • a steam generating space (not shown) connected to the water tank, whereby the water drips from the water tank into the steam generating space, and can be heated and vaporized by the electric heating element, so that the steam thus generated by the Through holes for wetting the laundry to be ironed is injected.
  • the housing 1 comprises a main housing 12 and a rear cover 13 installed at the rear of the main housing 12.
  • the main housing 12 further has a translucent area 121 for passing the light of an indicator lamp, which may be transparent or semitransparent, and is formed integrally with the main housing 12. Of course, the entire main housing 12 can also be made transparent or semi-transparent or semitransparent.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 shows a schematic illustration of an electric iron with the open rear cover 13.
  • a light body 4 for example a small light bulb or an LED lamp in the vicinity, is in the housing 1 of the transmissive region 121 for irradiating and thus illuminating this transparent region 121.
  • the light body 4 is provided on the rear lid 13, around which the opaque wall 3 is arranged, which reflect and collect most of the light emitted by the light body 4 in the direction of the translucent area 121, and thus increase its illuminance.
  • the light body 4 is connected via a cable 41 to the power supply of the electric iron 100.
  • the light-impermeable wall enclosing the light body 4 preferably forms a half-closed box 6, on which an input opening 63 for installation of the light body 4 is provided.
  • On the box 6 is preferably also a latching slot 62, in which the light body 4th engage after insertion into the box 6, and thus can be securely fixed in it.
  • the box 6 has a movable lid 61 which, when open, allows the light body 4 to be installed favorably in the box 6, and then closes to hold the light box 4 in the box 6.
  • the side of the box 6 facing or facing the translucent area 121 is open and not blocked by the opaque wall 3, so that the light emitted from the light body 4 in the box 6 does not radiate in all directions, but toward the translucent one Area 121 is collected and emitted out, whereby a considerable increase in the illuminance at the light source region 121 is effected.
  • a recess 5 is preferably provided on the main body 12, which, after installing the back cover 13 on the main body 12, supports the case lid 61 so that the lid 61 closes around the light body 4 in the case 6 (see also FIG. 6).
  • the movable lid 61 can be better supported by means of the bulge 5, so that the lid 61 is kept closed, and thus a negative light leak on the light collection is avoided.
