Description
본 발명은, 세탁기 또는 접시 닦는 기계 등과 같은 가정용 기구(domestic appliance)에서의 프로그램 진도 지시기(program progress indicator)에 관한 것으로써, 프로그램 진도 지시기(program progress indicator)에 의해서 각각의 프로그램 단계는 기구에 설치된 프로그램 패턴(program pattern)에서 대표되며, 각각의 경과되는 프로그램 단계는 기구의 일련의 제어에 의해서 초기화되는 광 신호(light signal)에 의해서 특징 지워진다.The present invention relates to a program progress indicator in a domestic appliance such as a washing machine or dishwasher, whereby each program step is installed in the appliance by a program progress indicator. Represented in a program pattern, each elapsed program step is characterized by a light signal initiated by a series of control of the instrument.
상기 프로그램 진도 지시기(program progress indicator)는 독일 특허 명세서(DE-C-) 31 49 702 를 통해서 공지되었다. 상기의 공지된 지시기에 있어서, 프로그램 패턴(program pattern)은 기구의 조작자 측에서 공급되며, 프로그램 패턴(program pattern)에서 각각 프로그램 단계의 명칭(designation)을 프린트하게 된다. 신호 램프는 상기 명칭(designation)의 각각과 관계 있다. 기구의 일련의 제어에 의해서 기구의 각각의 도달하는 프로그램 상태에 따라서 신호 램프는 구동되며, 그러므로, 조명에 의해서 실질적인 프로그램 상태를 지적한다. 상기의 지시기 장치는, 지적되는 프로그램 단계의 수에 일치하는 다수의 신호 램프를 필요로 한다. 상기 다수의 신호 램프는 물질의 실질적인 소비량을 대표하며, 추가로 상응하는 높은 조립 비용을 일으킨다.The program progress indicator is known from the German patent specification DE-C- 31 49 702. In the above known indicator, a program pattern is supplied from the operator's side of the instrument, and the designation of each program step is printed in the program pattern. Signal lamps are associated with each of the above designations. The signal lamp is driven in accordance with each reaching program state of the instrument by a series of control of the instrument, and therefore illuminating to indicate the actual program state. The above indicator device requires a number of signal lamps that correspond to the number of program steps indicated. The plurality of signal lamps represent a substantial consumption of the material and further incur a correspondingly high assembly cost.
본 발명은, 다수의 지시 가능성에 관하여 손실을 받아들임 없이, 도입부에서 기술된 종류의 프로그램 진도 지시기에서 물질과 조립 비용 등을 실질적으로 줄이는 목적에 근거를 두고 있다.The present invention is based on the object of substantially reducing material and assembly costs, etc. in the program progress indicator of the kind described in the introduction, without accepting losses with respect to a large number of indication possibilities.
본 발명에 따라서, 일치하는 구동에 의해서 다른 색깔의 광을 방출하는, 그리고 프로그램 패턴(program pattern)을 적용시키는 반투명 스크린의 뒤쪽에 설치된 광원을, 프로그램 지시기가 포함한다는 점에서, 그리고 기구에서 각각 경과되는 프로그램 단계에서 광원에 의해서 방출되는 광 색깔과 일치하는 빛을 띠도록, 프로그램 패턴의 각각의 프로그램 단계를 설계한다는 점에서 목적 전체를 충족시킨다. 방출되는 빛의 색깔에 관하여, 각각 도달되는 프로그램 단계와 일치하는 기구의 일련의 제어에 의하여 광원을 구동함으로써, 광원이 다른 프로그램 단계에서 다른 색깔의 빛을 방출한다. 그 다음에 스크린에서 각각 방출되는 광 색깔에 일치하는 섹션은 밝아짐으로써, 프로그램 과정의 각각 도달되는 단계는 쉽게 인식된다.According to the invention, the light source is installed at the back of a translucent screen which emits light of a different color by means of a coincidence drive and which applies a program pattern, in that it comprises a program indicator and in the instrument respectively. The program satisfies the entire purpose in that each program step of the program pattern is designed to have a light that matches the color of light emitted by the light source in the program step. Regarding the color of the light emitted, the light source emits light of a different color in different program steps by driving the light source by a series of controls of the mechanism, each corresponding to the program step reached. The sections corresponding to the color of light each emitted from the screen are then brightened so that each reached step of the program process is easily recognized.
프로그램 패턴이 원형으로 형성된다면, 그리고 광원이 프로그램 패턴의 중앙에 설치된다면, 지적되는 모든 프로그램 단계에 대하여 일정하게 조명되는 강도는 단순한 방식에 의하여 이루어진다. 상기 원형 프로그램 패턴의 경우에 있어서, 각각의 프로그램 단계는 빛을 띠는 섹터 섹션으로써 편리하게 대표된다.If the program pattern is formed in a circle, and if the light source is installed in the center of the program pattern, the intensity of constant illumination for all the program steps indicated is achieved in a simple manner. In the case of the circular program pattern, each program step is conveniently represented by a glowing sector section.
중앙에서 안쪽으로 방사상으로 섹터 섹션에서 뻗어 있는 광학 도체를 공급한다면, 지시기 장치의 조명되는 강도는 개선될 수 있다.By supplying optical conductors extending in the sector section radially from the center inward, the illuminated intensity of the indicator device can be improved.
다중-색깔 빛 방출 다이오드라는 수단에 의해서, 특별하게 단순한 방식으로 다른 광 색깔을 가지는 지시기를 얻을 수 있다.By means of multi-colored light emitting diodes, indicators with different light colors can be obtained in a particularly simple manner.
다른 광 색깔에 의해서, 또한 밝음에 있어 다양함에 의하여, 또는 광원의 명멸에 의하여, 지적될 수 있는 프로그램 섹터의 수를 증가시킬 수 있다.It is possible to increase the number of program sectors that can be pointed out by different light colors, also by varying in brightness, or by the flashing of the light source.
그림에서 설명되는 실시예에 의해서 다음에서 본 발명은 좀 더 자세하게 설명된다.The invention is explained in more detail in the following by the embodiments described in the drawings.
도 1 은, 반투명 물질로 이루어지는 제어 패널 스크린(control panel screen)에 적용되는, 가정용 기구의 조작자 측에 공급되는 프로그램 패턴(program pattern)을 보여준다.1 shows a program pattern supplied to an operator side of a household appliance, applied to a control panel screen made of translucent material.

반투명 물질로 이루어지는 제어 패널 스크린(control panel screen)에 적용되는, 그리고 예를 들면, 세탁기 또는 접시 닦는 기계 또는 세탁물 건조기 등과 같은 그림이 없는 가정용 기구의 조작자 측에 공급되는 프로그램 패턴(program pattern)은, 도 1 에 의하여 나타내진다. 기구의 일련의 제어에 의한 각각의 구동에 따라서, 빨강(red), 푸른색(green), 노랑(yellow) 등과 같은 다른 색깔의 빛을 방출하는 광원(3)은, 상기 프로그램 패턴(1)의 중앙(2)에 설치된다. 프로그램 패턴(1)은 몇몇의 섹터 섹션(4) 등으로 나뉘어지며, 몇몇의 섹터 섹션(4)은 광원(3)에 의해서 방출되는 광 색깔에 일치하는, 그러므로 빨강(red), 푸른색(green), 노랑(yellow) 등의 빛을 띠도록 설계된다.The program pattern applied to a control panel screen made of translucent material and supplied to the operator side of an unmarked household appliance, for example a washing machine or dishwasher or laundry dryer, It is represented by FIG. In response to each drive by a series of control of the mechanism, a light source 3 emitting light of different colors, such as red, green, yellow, etc. It is installed in the center (2). The program pattern 1 is divided into several sector sections 4 and the like, which several sector sections 4 correspond to the color of light emitted by the light source 3 and are therefore red and green. ), It is designed to have yellow light.
상세하게, 다중-색깔 조명 다이오드(빛-방출 다이오드)는 몇몇 색깔의 광을 전달하는 광원(3)으로써 이용된다. 그런 종류의 빛-방출 다이오드는 구동에 일치하는 빨강이나 푸른색을 밝게 한다. 상기 빛-방출 다이오드에서 빨강과 푸른색이 동시에 구동되면, 그 다음에 상기 빛-방출 다이오드는 노랑 광을 방출한다. 그러므로, 몇몇의 예를 들면 세 개의 광 색깔은 단 하나의 광원(3)에 의해서 실현될 수 있다. 하지만, 또한 단 하나의 색깔에 단지 단 하나의 빛을 방출하는 몇몇의 빛-방출 다이오드를 이용하는 가능성이 존재한다.In particular, multi-color illumination diodes (light-emitting diodes) are used as the light source 3 which transmits light of several colors. That kind of light-emitting diode brightens red or blue to match the drive. If red and blue are driven simultaneously in the light-emitting diode, the light-emitting diode then emits yellow light. Therefore, for example, three light colors can be realized by only one light source 3. However, there is also the possibility of using several light-emitting diodes that emit only one light in one color.
광원(3)이 각각의 프로그램 단계에서 다른 밝음 및 깜박임으로써 방사되도록 구동된다면, 지적하는 가능성의 확대를 가져온다. 각각 섹터 섹션(4)은 길쭉하게 동강난 프로그램 패턴(1)에서 형성될 수 있다. 기구에서 경과되는 작동 프로그램은 일치하는 프로그램 섹션에 설치된다면, 그 다음에 예를 들면 상기 방식으로 관련되는 프로그램 상태를 식별하도록 광원(3)은 깜박거린다. 또한, 광원(3)의 다른 방사 밝음에 의해서 식별이 가능하다.If the light source 3 is driven to radiate with different brightness and blinking at each program step, this leads to an expansion of the possibility of pointing out. Each sector section 4 may be formed in an elongated program pattern 1. If the operating program which has elapsed in the instrument is installed in the corresponding program section, then the light source 3 will flash, for example to identify the relevant program state in this way. In addition, it is possible to identify by the different emission brightness of the light source (3).
