Abstract

PURPOSE:To carry out the put-ON display during operation and the put-ON display for the process state without waste, with a small number of parts items. CONSTITUTION:As for the display structure of a fully automatic washing machine, an operation part is covered by a washing upper cover, and a plurality of process display lamps are installed in the operation part, and a window part is installed at the position corresponding to one of the process display lamps on the washing upper cover. During the movement operation, if the upper cover is in opened state by an opening/closing interlocking switch S1 on the washing upper cover, the operation process state is put-ON displayed S3 by each process display lamp, while if the upper cover is in closed state, only the process display lamp corresponding to the window part is put ON S2, and the operation display is carried out by the put-ON light in the window part.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a display structure for a fully automatic washing machine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Various displays in a fully-automatic washing machine are displayed on an operating section 10 as shown in FIG. 1 is an operation selection switch, and a lamp 2 for setting display is provided corresponding to each switch 1. A start / pause button 3 is provided with an in-operation indicator lamp 4 at its side position. During operation, the in-operation display lamp 4 lights up, and each of the lamps 2a, 2b, 2c lights up and displays in correspondence with the progress of the operation.

[0003]

As described above, in the related art, since the lighting display during operation and the lighting display of the progress status are separately performed, the number of parts is increased and the wiring configuration is complicated, and each of them is complicated. Since the display is performed on the operation unit,
There is a problem that the display space becomes difficult to understand because the space for arranging the space is narrowed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a fully automatic washing machine with a small number of parts, which enables a lighting display during operation and a lighting display of a progress status without waste. To aim.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in a display structure of a fully automatic washing machine, an operating portion is covered with a washing upper lid, a plurality of progress display lamps are provided on the operating portion, and the progress of the washing upper lid is increased. A window portion is provided at a position facing one of the display lamps, and during operation, when the upper lid is opened by the opening / closing interlock switch of the laundry upper lid, the progress indicator lamps light up to indicate the operation progress state, and the upper lid is closed. Occasionally, only the progress indicator lamp facing the window is turned on, and the running light is displayed on the window by the lighting light.

[0006]

According to the present invention, when the upper lid is opened during the driving operation, the progress display lamps respectively indicate the driving progress state, and when the upper lid is closed, the window display of the upper lid indicates the driving progress.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT FIG. 1 is a top cover 1 of a fully automatic washing machine according to the present invention.
1 is a plan view showing a state in which 1 is closed, and FIG.
It is a top view which shows the state which was opened. The operation unit 20 is shown in FIG.
The start / pause button 3 on the operation unit 10 indicated by
Is deleted, and the operated body 12 operated by the start / pause button 3 near the progress display lamps 2a, 2b, 2c
Is provided, and the button 3 is, as shown in FIG.
It is provided at a position facing the operated body 12 portion of the operating portion 20 of the laundry upper lid 11. A window 15 is provided in a part of the button 3, and a light guide member 16 is attached to the lower portion of the window 15, and the lower end of the light guide member 16 has just one progress indicator lamp. It is designed to face 2c. Reference numeral 17 is a substrate and 40 is an LED.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the circuit configuration of this fully automatic washing machine. The microcomputer 30 includes a power switch 31, a water level switch 32, an upper lid opening / closing interlocking switch 33, and a start / temporary stop switch 34 operated by operating the buttons 3. Is connected to the washing motor 36,
The torque motor 37, the water supply valve 38, and the LED 40 that lights up with each of the above lamps are connected.

The display operation will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In the operating state of the fully automatic washing machine, when the upper lid 11 is not opened and the open / close interlock switch 33 is ON, only the LED 40 of the progress display lamp 2c blinks regardless of the progress state of the operation, and the blinking light is emitted. The window portion 15 of the button 3 is reached through the light guide member 16, and in this manner, a window indicating that the vehicle is operating is displayed (step 1,
2).

On the other hand, when the laundry top lid 11 is opened and the ON signal is not obtained by the open / close interlocking switch 33, an appropriate progress indicator lamp 2a, which corresponds to the progress of driving, is displayed.
2b and 2c are blinked (steps 1 and 3).

[0011]

According to the present invention, during the driving operation, when the upper lid is opened, the progress display lamp is lit up and displayed, and when the upper lid is closed, only the progress display lamp facing the window is turned on. Since the running light is displayed in the window by the lighting light, it can be used both as a lamp for displaying the progress of driving and a lamp for displaying the running status. It is now possible to display the lighting status.

Further, since the operation unit does not integrally display the lighting display during driving and the progress status lighting, the display of the operation unit becomes easy to see.
