Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance with child lock function.
  • key lock function which is also named as the child lock
  • the child lock function is used in order that the user interface functions such as program cancellation, program pause or new program start can be deactivated.
  • the child lock function is activated or deactivated by touching the screen. This situation increases the risk of accidentally deactivating the child lock function.
  • the household appliances with touch screens attract the attention of the children more than other household appliances due to their appearances, the possibility of the child lock function being deactivated by the children increases.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance wherein the child lock is used in a safer manner.
  • 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 control panel, a touch screen that is disposed on the control panel and that enables the program parameters to be determined and displayed, a key combination formed by selecting touch geometries to be formed on the touch screen and the number of forming touch geometries, and a control unit that does not allow any changes to be made on the running program as long as this key combination is not triggered while a program is running.
  • the control unit deactivates the child lock function if the touch geometry is formed in the predetermined number of generating touch geometry. Thus, it becomes more difficult for the children to decipher the key combination.
  • the control unit allows the user to determine the touch geometries defining the key combination and/or the number of generating touch geometry.
  • the control unit comprises at least one memory wherein the key combinations determined by the user are saved and stored.
  • the key combination stored in the memory is required to be formed by the user.
  • the new key combination determined by the user is saved in the memory by overwriting the old key combination in the memory.
  • the key combination is stored in the memory until a new key combination is determined.
  • the control unit enables the user to determine and change the key combination.
  • the control unit ensures that the amount of time to pass between two successive formations of the geometries determining the key combination is determined by the user. While determining the key combination, the time that passes between two touch geometries is saved in the memory and thus, the said time is introduced to the control unit. In order to activate or deactivate the child lock function, the time that passes between two consecutive touch geometries is required to match the time saved in the memory while determining the key combination. Thus, it becomes difficult for the children to decipher the key combination and for the child lock function to be involuntarily activated or deactivated.
  • the touch screen displays the predetermined number of forming touch geometry and/or the number of forming touch geometry remaining in order to deactivate the child lock.
  • the household appliance is a dishwasher.
  • the household appliance is a washing machine.
  • the household appliance is a dryer.
  • the household appliance is an oven.
  • Figure 1 – is the perspective view of a household appliance.
  • the household appliance (1) comprises a control panel (2), a touch screen (3) that is disposed on the control panel (2) and that enables the program parameters to be determined and displayed, and a control unit (4) that enables the child lock function to be activated or deactivated by means of a key combination formed by selecting at least one touch geometry to be formed on the touch screen (3) and the number of forming touch geometries.
  • the child lock function is activated, the operational components are deactivated and thus, the corresponding function is not performed thanks to the child lock function even if the touch screen (3) is accidentally touched.
  • the control unit (4) of the present invention deactivates the child lock function if the touch geometry predetermined for the deactivation of the child lock is repeated in the predetermined number of forming touch geometry. Thus, it becomes difficult to deactivate the child lock, enabling the household appliance to be used in a safe manner.
  • the control unit (4) allows the user to determine the touch geometries defining the key combination and/or the number of forming touch geometry.
  • the control unit (4) has at least one memory wherein the key combination is saved.
  • the control unit (4) ensures that the new key combination entered by the user is saved by means of the memory and the child lock function is activated or deactivated as per the preference of the user.
  • the control unit (4) allows the user to determine a new key combination by changing the existing key combination.
  • the user determines the key combination by himself/herself and can change it whenever desired.
  • control unit (4) ensures that the amount of time to pass between two successive formations of the geometries determining the key combination is determined by the user.
  • the time passing between the formations of touch geometries while the user determines the key combination is saved in the memory.
  • the saved time is required to match the time passing between touch geometries formed while deactivating the child lock function. Thus, it becomes more difficult for the key combination to be accidentally deactivated.
  • the touch screen (3) displays the predetermined number of forming touch geometry and/or the number of forming touch geometry remaining in order to deactivate the child lock.
  • the user can learn from the touch screen how many times he/she must form the touch geometry in order to deactivate the child lock.
  • the household appliance (1) is a dishwasher.
  • the household appliance (1) is a washing machine.
  • the household appliance (1) is a dryer.
  • the household appliance (1) is an oven.
  • a household appliance (1) operating in a safe manner is realized. Since the child lock is deactivated only if the selected touch geometry is repeated in the predetermined number, it becomes more difficult to accidentally enter the key combination.
