Definitions
- the present invention relates to an operating device, in particular an operating device for an electronic household appliance.
- Operating devices with touch-sensitive and / or proximity-sensitive operating elements generally have a rigid cover plate, which defines a control panel and which is at least partially permeable in this control panel for infrared or visible radiation.
- An optical sensor includes at least one transmitter for emitting electromagnetic radiation and at least one receiver for detecting the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the transmitter, passed through the control panel and reflected by a control element such as a user's finger placed on the user side of the cover plate.
- Touch-sensitive and / or proximity-sensitive type operating devices configured as sliders or sliders conventionally have a cover plate with a user-facing user side, the cover plate having a control panel with a plurality of control panel sections arranged along a control line.
- a plurality of optical sensors are arranged on a rear side of the cover plate remote from a user, wherein each of the plurality of control panel sections is assigned at least one transmitter of the plurality of optical sensors and at least one receiver of the plurality of optical sensors.
- Control electronics evaluate the measurement signals generated by the at least one receiver of the plurality of optical sensors.
- these conventional optical sliders only work with optically transparent cover plates.
- an operating device with one or more, actuated by force individual pushbuttons whose operation can be detected by means of optical sensors.
- This known operating device can also be used in optically impermeable cover plates despite their optical operation.
- the invention has for its object to provide an improved operating device in the manner of a slider, in which also cover plates can be used, which have little or no permeability to the radiation emitted by the optical sensors radiation.
- the operating device of the invention comprises: a cover plate having a user-facing user side, the cover plate having a control panel with a plurality of control panel sections arranged along a control line; a plurality of optical sensors, wherein each of the plurality of panel sections is associated with at least one transmitter of the plurality of optical sensors for emitting electromagnetic radiation and at least one receiver of the plurality of optical sensors for detecting electromagnetic radiation; and control electronics for evaluating measurement signals generated by the at least one receiver of the plurality of optical sensors.
- the plurality of control panel sections of the control panel of the cover plate are each configured such that they are at least partially elastically deformable and / or movable by a pressure force from the user side of the cover plate; the plurality of control panel sections of the control panel of the cover plate are each configured such that they at least partially reflect a radiation emitted by the associated transmitter; at least one receiver is arranged and / or configured such that it enables spatially resolved detection of the radiation reflected by the control panel section, to which the at least one receiver is assigned; and the control electronics detects, as a function of a detection location of the reflected radiation at the at least one receiver, an actuation of the control panel section to which the at least one receiver is assigned.

- control panel sections In the operating device according to the invention, minimal deformations or movement strokes of the control panel sections are sufficient in order to be able to detect an actuation by the user, since very different deflections of the electromagnetic radiation are already effected at very small changes in the reflection location on the control panel section.
- the operation of the control panel sections can therefore be detected very reliably by the control electronics.
- the tolerances in the production and assembly of the components can be greater in comparison with conventional push-pull actuatable pushbuttons with capacitive, inductive or piezoelectric function. This is achieved by the very different detection location at the receivers already effected with minimal changes in the reflection location on the control panel section. This too can reduce the susceptibility to errors and thus increase the reliability of the operating device. Since it is sufficient for detecting an actuation of the control panel sections to detect a relative change in the detection location of the reflected radiation at the respective receiver (in contrast to detecting an absolute value), a calibration process can also be dispensed with in the control device according to the invention.

- the optical sensors work in particular as follows.
- the radiation emitted by a transmitter 16a..f strikes a control panel section 12a..f or its rear side and is reflected there.
- the radiation reflected at the control panel section 12a..f then impinges on the associated receiver 18a..f and is detected by the latter, which generates corresponding measurement signals which are evaluated by the control electronics 30.

- the spatially resolving receiver 18a..f so that the control electronics 30 can detect an actuation of the respective control panel section 12a..f.
- the acquisition of only the relative change also reduces the requirements on the dimensional and position accuracies of the individual components or increases the permitted tolerance ranges in the production and in the assembly of these components.
- the actuation of the slide control by the user thus requires not only a movement 26 along the operating line predetermined by the control panel 12 but also a pressure actuation 28 on the cover plate 10, so that individual control panel sections 12a..f of the control panel are actuated one after the other.
- a pressure actuation 28 on the cover plate 10 so that individual control panel sections 12a..f of the control panel are actuated one after the other.
