Description

Elektrische Maschine Electric machine
Die Erfindung betrifft eine elektrische Maschine, insbesondere Haushaltsgerät, vorzugsweise The invention relates to an electrical machine, in particular household appliance, preferably
Kaffeemaschine mit einer Schalteinrichtung, mittels derer die Maschine an eine Coffee machine with a switching device, by means of which the machine to a
Stromversorgungsquelle anschaltbar ist, sowie mit elektrischen Bedien- und/oder Anzeigeelementen, die bei angeschalteter Maschine angeschaltet sind, ferner mit einer elektrischen  Power source is connectable, and with electrical control and / or display elements, which are switched on with the machine switched on, also with an electrical
Steuereinrichtung, mittels derer die Maschine bzw. Bestandteile der Maschine automatisch bei längerem Nichtgebrauch in einen Stromsparmodus (Stand-by) schaltbar ist. Bei derartigen elektrischen Maschinen, Control device by means of which the machine or components of the machine can automatically be switched to a power-saving mode (stand-by) when not in use for a long time. In such electrical machines,
insbesondere auch Kaffeemaschinen, ist es üblich, in die elektrische oder elektronische Steuerung der Maschine einen Schalter zu integrieren, mittels dessen die an sich in In particular, coffee machines, it is customary to integrate in the electrical or electronic control of the machine, a switch by means of which in itself
Betriebsbereitschaft befindliche Maschine nach einer längeren Zeit des Nichtgebrauchs in einen Stromsparmodus geschaltet wird. Derartige Stand- by-Schaltungen sind im Stand der Technik vielfach bekannt . Ready to operate machine is switched to a power-saving mode after a long period of non-use. Such standby circuits are widely known in the art.
Um die Maschine wieder in Betriebsbereitschaft zu versetzen, ist es dazu erforderlich, dass ein entsprechender Schalter der Maschine betätigt wird, um diese aus dem Stromsparmodus in den Betriebsmodus zu schalten. Dies bedarf einer gewissen Manipulation. Ausgehend von diesem Stand der Technik liegt der Erfindung die Aufgabe zugrunde, den In order to put the machine back into operation, it is necessary that a corresponding switch of the machine is operated to switch them from the power-saving mode to the operating mode. This requires some manipulation. Based on this prior art, the invention has the object, the
Bedienungskomfort einer derartigen Maschine zu verbessern. Improve ease of use of such a machine.
Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung vor, dass die Maschine mit einem To solve this problem, the invention proposes that the machine with a
Näherungsschalter ausgestattet ist, mittels dessen bei Annäherung eines Gegenstandes oderProximity switch is equipped, by means of which when approaching an object or
Körperteils die im Stromsparmodus befindliche Maschine bzw. deren Bestandteile in den Body part in the power saving mode located machine or its components in the
Betriebsmodus schaltbar ist. Durch diese Ausbildung wird erreicht, dass derOperating mode is switchable. Through this training is achieved that the
Benutzer anstelle der bisher üblichen Users instead of the usual ones
Vorgehensweise einer zusätzlichen Procedure of an additional
Schalterbetätigung sich lediglich der Maschine annähern muss und ein Gegenstand oder ein Switch operation must only approach the machine and an object or a
Körperteil in die Nähe des beispielsweise an einer Blende der Maschine angeordneten Body part in the vicinity of, for example, arranged on a diaphragm of the machine
Näherungsschalters zu bringen. Allein hierdurch wird der entsprechende Schaltvorgang ausgelöst, so dass die Maschine vom Stromsparmodus wieder in den normalen Betriebsmodus geschaltet ist. Proximity switch to bring. This alone triggers the corresponding switching operation, so that the machine is switched from the power-saving mode back to the normal operating mode.
Bevorzugt ist dabei vorgesehen, dass die It is preferably provided that the
elektrischen Bedien- oder Anzeigeelemente bei in Stromsparmodus geschalteter Maschine oder electrical operating or display elements in machine switched to power-saving mode or
Bestandteilen derselben abgeschaltet oder gedimmt sind, und mittels Schaltung des Components thereof are switched off or dimmed, and by means of switching the
Näherungsschalters in Betriebsmodus schaltbar sind. Diese Maßnahme dient dazu, Strom einzusparen, indem nämlich bei in Stromsparmodus befindlicher Maschine sämtliche stromversorgten Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente abgeschaltet werden, also deren Beleuchtung oder dergleichen abgeschaltet wird.Proximity switch can be switched in operating mode. This measure is used to save electricity by namely all power-supplied control and display elements are switched off when the machine is in power-saving mode, so their lighting or the like is turned off.
Erst durch Annäherung an den Näherungsschalter wird die Maschine wieder in den Betriebsmodus eingeschaltet, wodurch auch die elektrischen Bedien- und Anzeigeelemente wieder mit Strom versorgt werden und deren Beleuchtung oder dergleichen eingeschaltet ist. Auch bei Displays oder sonstigen elektronischen Only by approaching the proximity switch, the machine is switched back to the operating mode, whereby the electrical control and display elements are supplied with power and their lighting or the like is turned on. Also with displays or other electronic
Anzeigeeinrichtungen wird somit ein Display devices is thus a
Stromspareffekt erreicht. Energy saving effect achieved.
Des Weiteren ist bevorzugt vorgesehen, dass der Näherungsschalter als kapazitiver Sensorschalter ausgebildet ist. Solche kapazitiven Sensorschalter sind an sich imFurthermore, it is preferably provided that the proximity switch is designed as a capacitive sensor switch. Such capacitive sensor switches are intrinsically in
