Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a knob.
  • retractable and rotary knobs enabling the household appliance to be operated or the programs to be adjusted are widely used.
  • retractable and rotary knobs the user not perceiving the transitions between different program parameters haptically makes the utilization difficult.
  • WO 2010/049336 A1 discloses a retractable rotating knob of a switch device of a household appliance.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a knob that provides ease of utilization.
  • 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 housing placed into an opening on a body and a knob mounted into the housing.
  • the household appliance comprises a push-release mechanism having a first element with a heart-shaped channel, a second element with a pin suitable for moving in the channel and a spring providing the connection of the first element and the second element.
  • the knob is enabled to enter the housing when pushed and stay inside the housing and to protrude from the housing when pushed again.
  • the household appliance of the present invention comprises a gear that moves together with the knob when the knob is rotated and that has teeth arranged on the lateral surface thereof, and at least one L shaped claw that extends towards the gear, that limits the movement of the gear by meshing with the teeth and that creates vibrations on the knob. Thanks to the vibrations and noise generated, the user is enabled to understand that the knob is brought to a position that changes the program parameter of the household appliance.
  • the household appliance comprises at least two claws that are positioned around the gear and in a staggered manner so as to almost face each other and that limit the movement of the gear.
  • the claws that stretch in the opposite direction with the contact of the gear cause the formation of tension on the knob.
  • the user is informed haptically and audibly about the movement of the knob.
  • the claw is arc- and recess-shaped so as to allow the teeth of the gear to go therein and exit therefrom.
  • the household appliance comprises a elliptic supporter that extends along the line where the front surface and the later surface of knob coincide.
  • the household appliance comprises a circuit board that is connected to the knob and enables the household appliance to be operated according to the selected program parameters, and a shaft that is situated below the push-release mechanism and transmits the movement of the knob to the circuit board.
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a body (2), an opening (3) arranged on the body (2), a housing (4) placed into the opening (3) and extending towards the inner part of the body (2) from the opening (3), and a cylindrical knob (5) that is placed into the housing (4) and moved by being rotated and pushed.
  • the knob (5) is moved in the housing (4) by being rotated and pushed.
  • the user enables the knob (5) to protrude from the housing (4) by pressing on the knob (5)
  • the user rotates the knob (5) in order to bring the knob (5) to the desired program parameter.
  • the user hides the knob (5) in the housing (4) by pressing on the knob (5) again after adjusting the desired program parameter by means of the knob (5).
  • the program parameters can be viewed and selected when the knob (5) is in the housing (4) and also when the knob (5) is used outside the housing (4) by being rotated.
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a push-release mechanism (11) having a first element (7) with a channel (6) placed into the housing (4), a second element (9) disposed behind the knob (5) with a pin (8) suitable for moving inside the channel (6), and a spring (10) that enables the second element (9) to move tautly while the pin (8) moves in the channel (6).
  • the knob (5) is a push-release type so that the knob (5) is outside the housing (4) when in use and is hidden inside the housing (4) by being pushed when not in use. During the back and forth movement of the pin (8) in the channel (6), the knob (5) leaves and goes into the housing (4) a little.
  • the household appliance (1) of the present invention comprises a gear (12) that is disposed on the push-release mechanism (11), that moves together with the knob (5) when the knob (5) is rotated and that has more than one tooth (17) all around, and at least one claw (13) that is positioned on the housing (4) so as to contact the gear (12) and that stretches in the rotational direction of the gear (12) by meshing with the teeth (17) during the rotational movement of the gear (12).
  • the gear (12) is enabled to rotate intermittently by means of the claw (13).
  • the claws (13) contact the teeth (17) around the gear (12) and stretch sequentially over the teeth (17) during the rotational movement of the gear (12).
  • the claws (13) touch each bottom land between each two teeth (17), the gear (12) rotates intermittently, thus the user perceives that the following program parameter is selected.
  • the household appliance (1) comprises at least two claws (13) that are disposed reverse symmetrically and that enable the gear (12) to rotate in steps by contacting the gear (12).
  • one of the claws (13) arranged at certain intervals in a circular path on the housing (4) stretches forward while the other stretches backward.
  • the haptic feedback can be sensed at equal density in any situation independently from the rotational direction of the knob (5). That one of the claws (13) is pushed backward creates a high tension on the gear (12) while the forward movement of the other generates a low tension that facilitates the release of the gear (12) from the claw (13).
  • reverse forces acting on the gear (12) are balanced and the haptic feedback relayed to the user becomes stable.
  • the claw (13) is L-shaped.
  • the gear (12) When the gear (12) is rotated, the teeth (17) of the gear (12) pushes and moves the claws (13) in the direction of the curves of the latter. Since the gear (12) rotates by rubbing against the claws (13), the user easily perceives the rotation of the gear (12).
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a ring-shaped supporter (14) that extends along the line where the front surface and the later surface of knob (5) coincide. Thanks to the supporter (14), the knob (5) can be more easily grasped and rotated. Moreover, devices such as light source, etc. that facilitates the utilization of the knob (5) are placed to into the housing (4) by means of the supporter (14).
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a circuit board (15) that is disposed behind the housing (4) and controls the operation of the selected program parameters, and a shaft (16) that is situated under the first element (7) at the base of the housing (4) and that transmits the movement of the knob (5) to the circuit board (15).
  • the household appliance (1) is a cooling device, a laundry dryer, a cooking device, a washing machine or a dishwasher.
  • the present invention thanks to the intermittent rotation of the gear (12) owing to the claws (13), the user can perceive by touch or hearing that the knob (5) is being rotated and the program parameters are being changed.
  • the mechanical feedback related to the rotation of the knob (5) via a simple system composed of the gear (12) and the claws (13), ease of assembly during the production of the knob (5) is provided and the production costs are decreased.
