- the panel support and/or the second panel element can also have at least one latching element.
- the panel support has at least one third latching element, which corresponds to the at least one first latching element.
- the second panel element has in particular at least one fourth latching element which corresponds to the at least one second latching element.
- Corresponding pairs of latching elements can each consist of a latching hook and a latching edge, for example.
- the at least one first latching element and the at least one second latching element are arranged on two different surfaces of the first panel element, preferably perpendicular to one another.
- the components can also be braced in different directions, which ultimately increases the stability of the panel assembly.
- the first panel element can, for example, be designed essentially as a cuboid, with three pairs of surfaces each having the same size.
- the at least one second latching element can be arranged, for example, on one of the surfaces with the largest surface area and the at least one first latching element can be arranged, for example, on one of the surfaces with the second largest surface area.
- the at least one first latching element and the at least one second latching element are arranged perpendicular to one another in a top view of the first screen element.
- tensioning in different directions can be achieved and thus the stability of the diaphragm assembly can be increased.
- the top view of the first panel element means, for example, a view perpendicular to a surface with the largest surface area of the first panel element.
- the at least one joint head of the first joint arrangement and/or the second joint arrangement is T-shaped in a plan view of the first screen element and/or the second screen element. This shape makes it possible in a simple manner to limit the respective joint arrangement to a single axis of rotation. The possible movements of the screen elements relative to the screen carrier are severely restricted as a result. This makes the assembly of the panel assembly less error-prone.
- the first screen element and/or the second screen element has at least one retaining element which engages in at least one corresponding recess of the screen carrier.
- the at least one retaining element ensures, in particular, that the composite panel is stabilized in the area of the joint arrangements.
- the retaining element is intended to prevent a joint head and a joint head receptacle of the joint arrangements from being able to be separated from one another after the panel assembly has been installed.
- the retaining element is designed as a web, for example.
- the recess of the panel support can be, for example, an opening in a surface of the panel support, but can also be formed, for example, by a free space behind an edge in a surface of the panel support.
- first screen element and/or the second screen element have a plurality of retaining elements. If the first screen element and/or the second screen element have articulated heads, the retaining elements can be arranged, for example, on the same side of the first screen element and/or the second screen element as the articulated heads.
- the first screen element has stiffening ribs.
- the stiffening ribs increase the stability of the first panel element and thus improve the stability of the panel assembly.
- the stiffening ribs are designed, for example, as flat projections perpendicular to a surface of the first screen element with the largest surface area.
- the stiffening ribs are preferably arranged on a side of the first panel element that faces away from the second panel element.
- the stiffening ribs can, for example, also be designed to protect the first electronics assembly from damage.
- the stiffening ribs of the first screen element form drainage surfaces for water penetrating into the screen assembly.
- the water used to clean the items to be washed in the dishwasher can, under certain circumstances, penetrate the panel assembly and damage the electronic assemblies.
- the stiffening ribs are designed in such a way that penetrating water is directed away from the electronic assemblies.
- a drain for example, can also be provided in the panel assembly, which returns penetrating water centrally into the interior of the dishwasher.
- the stiffening ribs can in particular be designed in such a way that the water is guided to the outlet.
- One or more of the stiffening ribs can be arranged, for example, in the shape of a roof above an electronics assembly.
- the stiffening ribs of the first screen element are triangular and are arranged in a cascade-like manner on several levels. In this way, an even better drainage of any water that may have penetrated into the diaphragm assembly can be achieved.
- the stiffening ribs can, for example, lead the penetrating water over the several levels to the outlet that may be provided in the diaphragm assembly. Due to the triangular design, the water can be guided away from the electronic assemblies, for example.
- the stiffening ribs are preferably designed as open triangles, with a lower side of the triangle preferably remaining open. In particular, the two sides of the open triangle form an obtuse interior angle with respect to one another.
- the respective open triangle is thus in particular designed in the shape of a gabled roof.
- Cascading should mean here that penetrating water is directed from the stiffening ribs of one level to the stiffening ribs of a subsequent level.
- the second panel element is essentially axisymmetric to both sides of the middle of the width extension of the panel assembly, in particular axisymmetric to both sides, in the vertical closed end position of the front door the central axis of a recessed grip provided in the first panel element, in each case has an overlapping web which overlaps or protrudes over a rear section, in particular a wall section on the rear wall, of the first panel element viewed in the height direction.
- the respective overlapping web of the second screen element can bear in contact with the wall section of the first screen element on the rear wall.
- Each overlapping web dips into a receiving gap between two second latching elements of the first screen element, which are arranged spaced apart from one another in the width direction. It has lateral counter-locking elements facing the two second locking elements, which are brought into locking engagement with the second locking elements.
- the second panel element and the first panel element are locked together in the area of two overlaps arranged achsssymmetrically to form an inherently rigid overall composite and secured in position via the first latching elements of the first panel element on, in particular in, the panel support.
- these two overlaps or interlacings or intersections arranged axially symmetrically to the middle of the width extension of the panel assembly ensure sufficient surface stability substantially over the entire front surface of the panel assembly in such a way that when contact pressure is exerted on the front side of the panel assembly in the depth direction, an evasive movement of the Aperture assembly, in particular its first panel element, is largely avoided in the depth direction.
- the front wall of the panel support has a window cutout or an opening, in particular approximately centrally, preferably above a recessed grip, behind and/or in which a display is positioned, which is attached to the front side of the first panel element.
- the composite panel according to the invention can be attached in an advantageous manner to various front doors of household dishwashers such as, for example, free-standing dishwashers, semi-integrated dishwashers and fully integrated dishwashers.
- the invention also relates to a dishwasher, in particular a household dishwasher, with a front door which has a screen assembly designed according to the invention in the upper area.
- a first panel element and a second panel element are connected to a panel support. It is proposed that the panel support and the first panel element are connected by means of a first joint arrangement and the first panel element is pivoted into the panel support and fixed to the panel support. In addition, it is proposed that the panel support and the second panel element are then connected by means of a second joint arrangement and the second panel element is pivoted into the panel support and fixed to the first panel element.
- the pivoting assembly of the first screen element and the second screen element allows for simple and cost-effective assembly of the screen assembly.
- the axes of rotation about which the first screen element and the second screen element are pivoted are, in particular, parallel to one another.
- the directions of rotation of the pivoting of the first screen element and the second screen element are in particular opposite. For example, during assembly, the first screen element is pivoted clockwise in a side view and the second screen element is pivoted counterclockwise, or vice versa.
- the first screen element and/or the second screen element are preferably provided with functional elements before the assembly of the screen assembly, which in particular allow a user to operate the dishwasher.
- the panel assembly can be attached, for example, to an upper end of a door of the dishwasher.
- the first panel element is fixed to the panel support by means of at least one first latching element and/or the second panel element is fixed to the first panel element by means of at least one second latching element.
- a connection by means of latching elements allows a stable connection of the screen elements and the screen carrier and in particular tool-free assembly.
- the screen carrier, the first screen element and the second screen element which are used in this method, are designed in particular in accordance with the preceding description, it being possible for the features described to be implemented individually or in any combination.
