Definitions

  • the invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, with a washing container located in a body of the dishwasher for cleaning dishes, glasses, cutlery or similar items to be cleaned, the washing container on its front being movable from an upright position in a closed position to its opening Door can be locked and wherein the door is assigned a control panel in its upper area in the closed position, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • dishwashers which include a control panel in the upper area of the door and can therefore either be set up alone or built under a worktop and are then referred to as so-called partially integrated devices, are provided with an outer panel in the form of a stainless steel hood in order to to provide a high quality appearance and easy cleaning.
  • the DE 10 2007 041 059 B3 specifies a fixed control panel that is not assigned to a door for a washing machine, washer-dryer, tumble dryer or dishwasher, among other things.
  • the front of the control panel includes a box-shaped , one-piece hood, for example made of sheet metal such as stainless steel or aluminum, with a front wall and, starting from this, an upper fold, two opposite side walls and a lower fold.
  • the EP 1 639 935 A2 shows only a box-shaped control panel, which has a front side made of metal, also hood-shaped, one-piece panel frame with side surfaces and an adjoining frame-shaped area of the front surface, which has a central opening at the front.
  • the EP 2 465 403 A2 deals with a dishwasher whose appliance door has an operating unit with an inner component carrier that carries electronic components as well as operating and display elements and is framed from the front by a one-piece sheet metal part that is also hood-shaped.
  • the EP 2 380 479 A1 is a control device for household appliances, which is designed as a handle and can be arranged on the front of the door. It comprises a housing and a hood-shaped, one-piece housing cap made of stainless steel, which covers the touch-sensitive operating elements provided by the housing on the operator side.
  • the invention is based on the problem of creating new design options for a metal paneling of a control panel.
  • the invention is in training according to claim 2 characterized in that a display window extends at least almost over the entire width of the control panel and below the display window over the width of the control panel a metallic strip is arranged as a cladding, a new one that emphasizes the width and horizontal orientation Design created that no longer requires an overarching hood due to the separate metallic strip, which can be glued and pressed, for example.
  • At least one further metal covering can advantageously be provided in addition to the metal strip on the front side on surfaces pointing to the transverse sides and on a surface pointing upwards in the closed position of the door, for example a frame, for example C-shaped frame straddling the top-facing surface and the two sides-facing surfaces.
  • the keys and/or sensor areas to be actuated by the user are provided solely on the upper side, the front side can be designed in a particularly uniform, continuous manner. This also contributes if the display window initially appears uniform and only from behind is backlit, so that only when information lights up does a deviation from the uniform, continuous surface appear.
  • the door has a metallic panel on its front side in the closed position and further metallic panels on the surfaces of the control panel pointing to the transverse sides, the metallic panels of the front side and the surfaces pointing to the transverse sides having a bridging contact body are electrically connected to each other, a continuous hood is no longer required for the functionality.
  • a continuous metallic hood individual metallic elements are provided here, so that the design options are considerably expanded. Nevertheless, the at least one contact body ensures that the electronics are protected and that no electrostatic potentials can build up and be discharged in an uncontrolled manner.
  • each transverse side of the control panel is assigned a contact body, which ensures that reliable electrical contacts are formed.
  • the or each contact body produces an electrically conductive connection between the front side, the side pointing transversely outwards and the rear side of the control panel, in order to electrically connect all the parts cladding the panel base body to one another.
  • the bridging contact body forms a spring clip, which can be optimized in terms of its shape and internal stress for the respective geometric conditions.
  • the contact body is essentially C-shaped in plan view and has a first limb on the front side and a middle limb on the transverse side facing surface and rests with a rear leg on the back of a base body of the control panel, the front and back and also the transversely outer side can be electrically connected to each other at the same time, the effort for this is minimal.
  • the contact body has at the same time mechanically holding contact with the base body of the control panel and electrically conductive contact with the metallic coverings attached to it on the outside.
  • the contact body can be made of spring steel and can be held securely by being mounted under prestress. Further connecting means are then not required.
  • the contact body advantageously has a buckling point on the middle leg that secures the pretension.
  • the contact body can each have formations which reach outwards from the contact surface on the base body of the control panel and which ensure contact to the outside.
  • the mechanically secure hold is further supported if the base body of the control panel has receding receiving areas for the contact body. Then it also does not protrude in an obstructive manner beyond the outer surface of the base body.
  • the contact body can be easily clipped into the receiving areas in terms of assembly technology. In particular, it is secured in its position solely by internal stress.
  • Dishwasher 1 shown schematically is a domestic dishwasher and, as part of a body 5, has a washing container 2 for receiving items to be washed, such as crockery, pots, cutlery, glasses, cooking utensils and the like.
  • the washing compartment 2 can have an at least substantially rectangular outline with a front side V facing a user in the operating position.
  • the front side V can form part of a kitchen front made of kitchen furniture standing next to one another or, in the case of a stand-alone appliance, can also be unrelated to other furniture.
  • the washing compartment 2 can be closed by a door 3 in particular on this front side V.
  • This door 3 is in figure 1 shown in a partially open position and then at an angle to the vertical. In its closed position, however, it stands upright and can be pivoted forward and downward in the direction of arrow 4 to open it, for example about a lower horizontal axis, so that it is at least almost horizontal in the fully open position.
  • the door 3 On its outer side, which is vertical in the closed position and faces the user, the door 3 can be provided with a decorative panel 6 in order to experience a visual and/or haptic enhancement and/or an adaptation to the surrounding kitchen furniture.
  • the dishwasher 1 is designed here as a stand-alone device or as a so-called partially integrated device.
  • the movable door 3 is assigned a control panel 8 in its upper area, which includes an access opening 7 accessible from the front for manually opening and/or closing the door 3 .
  • this access opening 7 is in particular part of a panel base body 9, which can be designed, for example, as a one-piece plastic injection molded part and which is to be provided with display and operating electronics and external panels for its completion, among other things.
  • the front V of the door 3 is assigned a display window for washing program data, time, date, temperature, energy requirement, remaining time and the like.
  • This display window 10 extends at least almost over the entire width of the control panel 8 in the transverse direction Q. Here it extends completely across the width of the front V of the door 3, such as in figure 1 is indicated.
  • the display window 10 may be uniformly tinted such that displays are only visible when illuminated behind them. Otherwise, only a uniform dark-toned area is visible.
  • a metallic strip 11 for example with a brushed or polished front surface, is also arranged over the width of the control panel 8 as a covering.
  • This metallic strip 11 forming a fairing is here referred to in figure 2 illustrated panel base body 9 - for example, a plastic injection molded part - glued and in particular pressed with this, so that a stable and non-detachable unit is formed.
  • metal panels 15, 16 are provided on the transverse sides facing surfaces 12 and on a surface 13 pointing upwards in the closed position of the door figure 2 are not yet mounted.
  • a substantially C-shaped metallic frame as the outer covering 15, 16 can overlap the surfaces 12 and 13 at the same time and leave a window 14 free in its central leg 15 for reaching through to control buttons, sensor surfaces and the like. The front V can then remain completely free of such controls.
  • the metallic cladding 11 located on its front side in the closed position and the surfaces 12 pointing to the transverse sides are arranged Metallic panels 16 connected to one another in an electrically conductive manner via at least one bridging contact body 17 .
  • each transverse side 12 of the control panel 8 is assigned such a contact body 17 here.
  • the contact body 17 creates an electrically conductive connection between the front side V, the side 12 pointing transversely outwards and the rear side 18 of the control panel 8 .
  • the rear side 18 as a whole is covered by a structured sheet metal paneling the door 3 on the inside, the so-called inner door 19 , which is firmly connected to the panel base body 9 via screw connections 20 , among other things.
  • This inner door 19 is electrically connected via the contact body 17 with the side panels 16 and the front panel 11, wherein the contact body 17 itself is held in a continuous or multi-part recess 22 of the panel base body 9 under these metallic panels 11, 16, 19 in such a way that it makes contact with them itself, but is not visible from the outside.
  • These recess(es) 22 form or form a receding area approximately in the thickness of the spring clip 17, ie approximately 1 to 4 millimeters.
  • the contact body 17 is clipped or snapped into the receiving areas 22 of the non-conductive base body 9, which can be done both manually and in automated assembly.
  • the spring clip 17 is axisymmetric, so that incorrect assembly is excluded.
  • the bridging contact body 17 is formed here by a spring clip made of spring steel and is attached to the panel base body 9 under prestress and is held there solely by its own stress. A gluing, pressing or other additional holding measure for the contact body 17 is not required. This holds with its own tension on the base body 9.
  • This spring clip forming the contact body 17 is seen from above ( 8 or. 9 ) is essentially C-shaped and rests with a first leg on the front side V, with a middle leg on the surface 12 pointing to the transverse side and with a rear leg on the rear side 18 of the base body 9 of the control panel 8 .
  • the contact body 17 is designed in such a way that it not only has mechanical contact with the base body 9 of the control panel 8, but also with the metal coverings 11, 16 and 19 attached to it on the outside. These overlap the contact body 17 on the outside in the mounted position, so that it is then no longer visible from the outside.
  • the parts mentioned rest on the contact body 17 in an electrically conductive manner.
  • the contact body 17 can have a buckling point 21 on the middle leg that secures the preload, as shown in the broken top view of the base body 9 figure 9 is shown. Additionally or alternatively, as in figure 8 is drawn, the contact body 17 each have from the contact surface on the base body 9 of the control panel 8 outwardly reaching formations 23 and above the electrically conductive contact to the outer panels 11, 16, 19 manufacture. A combination of formations 23 and a kink 21 is also possible.
  • a bias is generated in the spring clip 17 so that all components are contacted.
  • the equipotential bonding spring 17 forms an electrically conductive connection between the stainless steel front support 11, the lateral and upper frames 15, 16 and the rear inner door 18.
