Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dashboard for electrical appliances and an electrical appliance having such dashboard, as defined in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the electrical appliance is a laundry washing machine, a dishwasher, a laundry drying machine, a washer-drier combo, a refrigerator or the like
  • the dashboard is of the type having a wall defining a surface that faces the interior and an exposed front surface that can be viewed from the outside by a user, and has thereon the on-off control for powering the electrical appliance on/off as well as the controls for actuating the operating functions of the electrical appliance after power-up.
  • the on-off controls and the function selecting controls upon power-up are arranged on the front surface of the dashboard of an electrical appliance, i.e. on the outer or exposed surface that can be viewed from the outside by a user during typical operation of the electrical appliance.
  • the on-off controls of the electrical appliances as mentioned hereinabove typically consist of pushbutton- or toggle-operated mechanical devices.
  • the controls for selecting the functions upon power-up, such as temperature selection, washing program selection, etc. are actuated by mechanical pushbuttons or by rotating knobs, or by means providing physical displacement of a mechanical member.
  • the controls for selecting the functions upon power-up can be actuated by pressing icons on a liquid crystal display (LCD).
  • LCD liquid crystal display
  • the object of the present invention is to obviate the aforementioned drawbacks by providing a technical solution for the provision of the controls on the dashboard of the electrical appliances as mentioned hereinabove, without requiring slots or openings to be formed through the front wall of the control panel.
  • the present invention avoids the need of providing control panels with slots or opening extending through its front wall.
  • the present invention eventually avoids the need of providing all the molds required for forming the pushbuttons, the toggles and the knobs.
  • numeral 1 generally designates an electrical appliance, such as a laundry washing machine, of the type of electrical appliances that fall in the field of application of the present invention.
  • Other electrical appliances that can fall in the field of application of the present invention may be, for instance, a dishwasher, a laundry drying machine, a washer-drier combo, a refrigerator or similar appliances.
  • Numeral 2 designates the laundry-loading door, that can be opened and closed by means of a handle, generally referenced 3.
  • the door of a housing for a conventional filter is generally referenced 4 in Figure 1 .
  • Numerals 5 and 6 designate the bottom and the top of the electrical appliance 1 respectively.
  • the electrical appliance 1 comprises a dashboard for the operating controls, generally referenced 7, which is located directly above the front door 2 and below the top 6 in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the dashboard 7 comprises a wall 8 which, with a top wall 9 and the sides 10 and 11, forms a compartment 12 behind it.
  • the dashboard 7 is embodied with a substantially box-like shape.
  • the wall 8 of the dashboard 7 has a surface 13 that faces the interior of the compartment 12 and a front surface 14.
  • the wall 8 defines a surface 13 that faces the interior, e.g. the interior of the electrical appliance 1 when the dashboard 7 is associated with the electrical appliance 1, and the front surface 14 can be viewed by a user from the outside, e.g. from outside the electrical appliance 1, during normal operation of the electrical appliance.
  • on-off control 24, 29 for powering the electrical appliance 1 on/off as well as the controls 25, 26, 27 and 28 for actuating the various functions of the electrical appliance 1 are formed or obtained by generating respective illuminated icons, as described in greater detail hereinafter.
  • the front surface 14 of the wall 8 of the dashboard 7 and the wall 8 itself are seamlessly formed, that is the wall 8 does not require openings or slots to be formed therein for accommodating the aforementioned pushbutton - or toggle-operated mechanical devices or the displays and cutouts or the like to be formed in said wall 8.
  • the dashboard 7, or at least the front wall 8 thereof is obtained by injection molding of a thermoplastic material having an appropriate light transmittance degree (T ⁇ ).
  • thermoplastic material in use is known with the trade name "STYROLUX” ®.
  • the general thickness S of the wall 8 of the dashboard is preferably 2.5 mm.
  • the wall 8, proximate to the side 11 of the dashboard 7, has a recess 15 formed therein by reducing the thickness of the wall 8 to a value S1 ranging from 25 to 50% of the general thickness S of the wall 8, preferably to a thickness S1 that ranges from 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm.
  • numeral 16 designates a support plate for electronic light-emitting devices, such as LED diodes, referenced 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 respectively, which are conventionally designed to form illuminated icons corresponding to respective controls for the electrical appliance 1, or to particular operating functions thereof.
  • electronic light-emitting devices such as LED diodes, referenced 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 respectively, which are conventionally designed to form illuminated icons corresponding to respective controls for the electrical appliance 1, or to particular operating functions thereof.
  • the plate 16 with the electronic light-emitting devices 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 arranged thereon, for instance, in a row, is attached to the smaller-thickness portion S1 of the wall 8 at the recess 15, e.g. by means of a frame 22.
  • the wall 8 of the dashboard 7 has optical qualities involving a permeability to light that allows the passage of visible light emitted by LED devices without significant degradation of such visible LED light.
  • This film 23 is made of a material that is known per se and will not be further described.
  • the film 23 is configured to be in signal communication with a control and processing unit CPU forming part of the electrical appliance 1.
  • a touch on the area of the illuminated icon causes the film 23 to electrically interact with the CPU of the electrical appliance 1, thereby actuating the corresponding control or function of the electrical appliance.
  • the electronic light-emitting devices 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 that form respective illuminated icons are only actuated by first actuating the on-off control 24, 29 of the electrical appliance 1 whereby, when the electrical appliance is in the off state, no icon is visible on the dashboard 7 through its wall 8.
  • Access to the on-off function of the machine and to the creation of icons for the operating functions is provided by forming the outer surface 14 of the wall with a sign, a protrusion or a silk-screen print 24 in the relevant point of such surface.
  • this sign 24 is placed on the surface 14 at the same location as the electronic device 17 for creating the on-off control icon and as the portion 23a of the film 23.
  • Figure 7 shows the machine in the off state, with the sign 24 being only visible on the front surface 14. This sign 24 is indicative of the position in which the touch by the operator causes the electrical appliance to be powered on.
  • Figure 8 shows the state in which, once the machine has been powered on through the front surface 14 of the wall 8, in its reduced-thickness portion S1, all the illuminated icons 25, 26, 27, 28 and 29 formed of the electronic devices 21, 20, 19, 18, and 17 and representing corresponding controls, appear and are visible from the outside by the user.
  • the icon 29 representative of special functions of the electrical appliance 1 may coincide with the icon 24, which is representative of the on-off control of the electrical appliance 1.
  • the invention is susceptible of a number of variant embodiments, concerning, for example, the type of electronic devices that form the illuminated icons, the touch actuation of the controls through the film 23, which may be of capacitive or resistive type, as well as the form of the sign that indicates the position in which the on-off control icon will appear, possibly with the same image as the corresponding icon.
