Description
- The invention refers to a control panel for a domestic appliance in whose casing are built-in display and control elements which are coupled mechanically and/or electrically and/or are in a linkage line to a printed circuit board in a pick-up casing.
- The control panel of a domestic appliance can be equipped with display and/or control elements depending on the type of use. Only the design of the domestic appliance will be indicated, such as dishwasher, washing machine, tumble dryer, electric oven, microwave oven, refrigerator, freezer and similar. In this, display lamps, program switches, buttons and similar are built into the front panel of the switch panel casing often described as a control panel box, which is coupled in different ways mechanically and/or electrically to a printed circuit board or are in a linkage line. This requires a complicated design and extensive assembly.
- CA-A-2168609 discloses a control panel for domestic appliances in which all the controls are held by a metal mounting plate connected to a metal cover member. US-A-5 430 612 discloses a combination instrument having a circuit board placed between two shell parts which are connected on one side to form one piece by means of film hinges.
- The task of the invention is to reduce the type of outlay required in parts and assembly as mentioned at the start for construction of a control panel of a domestic appliance.
- This task is solved by the invention as the pick-up casing consists of two shell parts which on one side are solidly connected by a tape hinge and on the opposite side are closed using locking elements, the printed circuit board is held in a position in the isolating area of the closed shell parts by means of retaining elements and in addition there is a pick-up for a plug to the printed circuit board in the isolating area.
- To pick up and position the printed circuit board, an additional part is required which is closed after the printed circuit board is brought in. The plug can simply be connected in the isolating area to the printed circuit board and the connection is thus simplified and made easier.
- The pick-up casing in the casing of the control panel is fastened in a known way by there being fixing elements in the casing of the control panel for the pick-up casing with the printed circuit board equipped with reciprocal fixing elements. The pick-up casing thus takes on additional functions which simplify the assembly of the control panel.
- Additional embodiments are used for the same purpose and are identified by the shell part facing the front side of the casing having latch locators for key elements which are adjustably placed in openings in the front side of the casing or by the shell part facing the front side of the casing having shaped guide sleeves for the key plungers of the key elements which are adjustably placed in openings in the front side of the casing and being braced by spring elements in the shell part and working together with momentary contact switches on the printed circuit board, and by the shell part facing the front side of the casing having formed shielding sleeves which protrude into openings in the front side of the casing and hold light emitting diodes which are electrically connected to the printed circuit board.
- The pick-up casing with the two shell parts can be produced economically with a simple tool after being designed if it is planned for both shell parts to be manufactured as a single plastic injection moulded part connected to each other in a stretched open position over a tape hinge and on the free sides of the shell parts facing away from the tape hinges there being formed latch elements designed for each other to close the pick-up casing.
- The invention will be described in closer detail using the embodiments shown in the figures. The figures show the following in section:
- Fig. 1
- a pick-up casing built fitted into a control panel casing with a printed circuit board, where the closing position in particular of both shell parts of the pick-up casing can be seen
- Fig. 2
- the fitting position of the pick-up casing in the control panel casing where the connection and the positioning of the printed circuit board in particular can be seen in the pick-up casing and
- Fig. 3
- the inclusion of additional functions of the pick-up casing of the printed circuit board after fitting the pick-up casing into the control panel casing.
- Only the front cover part of the
casing 10 of the control panel is shown which can have a field forlettering 11 on the visible side and can haveopenings 12 for the necessary display and/orcontrol elements 13. - As shown in figures 1 to 3, the pick-
up casing 30 for a printedcircuit board 20 has twoshell parts tape hinges 33. - The tape hinges 33 allow the manufacture of both
shell parts circuit board 20 is inserted, then theshell parts latching elements up casing 30 can close. - In addition, known fixing and reciprocal fixing elements can be applied to the
casing 10 and the pick-up casing 30 in a known way so that the pick-up casing 30 can be fixed in thecasing 10 of the control panel. The design of these fixing and reciprocal fixing elements have the widest range of forms. Thus screw, latch or resilient corrugated packing strip connections or similar can be used. - As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the printed
circuit board 20 is positioned in the area of the isolating level of bothshell parts elements up casing 30. - When closed, the pick-
up casing 30 has a pick-up 45 in which aplug 36 is inserted and can thus be connected to the printedcircuit board 20. In this position, the printed circuit board has connection contacts. Theplug 36 can be additionally held in the pick-up 45. - As shown in Figure 2, the
shell side 31 facing the front side of thecasing 10 can take on additional functions to simplify the assembly of the control panel. Thus akey element 14 adjustably inserted in anopening 12 of thecasing 10 can be latched into alatch locator 39 in theshell part 31 and thus take over the fixing of this in the control panel. - If there is a
momentary contact switch 40 on the printedcircuit board 20, then this can be activated using thekey plunger 16 of anadditional key element 15. On theshell part 31 there is a formedguide sleeve 41 in which thekey plunger 16 is fed. Thekey element 15 is adjustably guided into an opening 12 in thecasing 10 and aspring element 18 slid onto thekey plunger 16 braces on thekey element 15 and theshell part 31. - If there is a light emitting diode 17 connected electrically to the printed
circuit board 20, then this can be picked up by ashielding sleeve 44 of theshell part 31, which prevents light shining over from adjacent light-emitting diodes or similar optical display elements. Theshield sleeve 44 protrudes at least partly into the allocated opening 12 of thecasing 10 which can also be transparently covered by thelettering field 11. - As can easily be deduced, additional functional parts can be formed on the
shell parts up casing 30, which simplify the assembly of the control panel. This is promoted by bothshell parts
