Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for controlling an electrical appliance with a plurality of electrical consumers, for example, a Kochfel ⁇ of, and a corresponding device thereto.
  • a switch arrangement for controlling a cooktop is known.
  • a selection switch is provided, with which a hotplate or an associated consumer is selected for a subsequent power setting. After selecting a particular consumer, its power can be increased or reduced via the switches.
  • the switch with which the consumer has been selected has a further function. In fact, it is designed to subsequently change, for example increase, the power in one direction, for example by further actuation. In this case, however, still another switch is needed, which is Dublinbil ⁇ det for all Ver ⁇ consumers to adjust the power in the other direction.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an aforementioned Ver ⁇ drive and to provide such a device with which the Prob ⁇ lems of the prior art can be avoided and in particular the performing functionality of individual controls ver ⁇ can be improved and their number can be advantageously reduced.
  • the control of the electrical appliance via a control device, which has a plurality of control elements.
  • the control elements or the control device have different functional levels or functional modes, in which the control elements have different functionalities or can trigger functions. This can be assigned to them by the control method when an operator operates various controls.
  • a first operating level which in particular corresponds to a basic state in which, for example, the electrical appliance is located after switching on
  • the electrical consumers are assigned the operating elements for their selection or selection for a subsequent power setting of the selected consumer.
  • the control device changes to a second operating level.
  • most controls change their functionality.
  • an operating element has the functionality for setting a lower power on the selected consumer.
  • Another operating element at the same time has the functionality with which an increased power can be set on a selected consumer.
  • an operator is presented with the method of the control in such a way that, via actuation of a control element, a selected desired consumer is selected.
  • the stator device jumps, as it were, into the second operating level and some operating elements change their functionality.
  • the selected consumer can then be set or changed with regard to its performance or, under certain circumstances, also other properties, such as a multi-circuit function or timer function.
  • the advantage of these different operating levels with changing functionalities of the operating elements is that the number of operating elements can be greatly reduced, which reduces the production costs and also the space required for the control device. Furthermore, the number of possible operating elements to be operated can be reduced. This simplifies the operation or control for an operator since it can be done intuitively if the choice of possibilities is less. In the above example, therefore, there is no question at all for an operator as to whether an increase in performance or a reduction should be made immediately, since these functions are not offered at all, but only after a selection. Thus, a control method with a kind user guidance can be created.
  • the consumer is divided functionally and electrically into separately switchable subunits, which, if they are to be activated, respectively activated together or in the same way.
  • they can be designed as a basic heating element with additional heating zones in the case of a hob with several cooking zones.
  • the operating elements basically serve the entire consumer or all of his subunits together.
  • a selection of which of these subunits should actually be activated or not can take place by means of further operating or selection processes, especially in another operating level. This has, for example, in the aforementioned case of a hotplate with several switchable zones of a hob on the advantage that for an operator er ⁇ clearly only once the hotplate is selected and then selected, in exactly what kind it should be activated.
  • each user is assigned exactly one operating element by means of which it is selected. This makes a direct selection possible.
  • the second operating level in addition to the two above-mentioned operating elements for setting the power, further functionalities may be provided, such as a selection function and triggering for a timer or the activation or deactivation of a sub-unit of one of the consumers mentioned above.
  • the latter can also be provided in a further operating level.
  • a timer it can be provided that, after the corresponding operating element has been actuated, it is changed to a further or a third operating level.
  • some controls change their functionality, in turn most or all.
  • a change in functionality can also serve to clearly indicate to a user that another operating level has been reached and certain functionalities are not available. Thus, will an operator is not asked the question of what to do next.
  • the third Cons ⁇ level completely disable some of the controls so that they have no functionality here.
  • the control device after switching on the electrical device, automatically changes to the first operating level, which thus represents a ground state. Furthermore, the ground state can also be present in the normal operation of the electrical appliance. With regard to the other operating levels, it may be provided that after a certain time the control device changes to the basic state without modification or actuation. Such a period of time can be in the range of a few seconds. This will be explained by an example.
  • an optical display can be provided, in particular a light-emitting display.
  • Each control element is advantageously associated with a display, this being a display unit with several different functions or representations.
  • it can be displayed in the first operating level to which consumer this operating element is assigned.
  • the second operating level as well as in further operating levels, it can be shown which further functionality is now assigned to the operating element.
  • these can be plus and minus symbols, for further functionalities letters or symbols, for example.
  • At least one further display can be provided, in which consumer-specific information is displayed. For example, this can be to the selection status of a consumer, his set output or his operation.
  • touch switches can be provided. These can work on a capacitive or optical basis. For example, when used in a hob, they may be mounted under a cooktop panel, in many cases a glass ceramic panel.
  • an operating element is provided for each consumer to be controlled. About another control element, the electrical appliance can be switched on or off altogether.
  • Operating elements and these functionally assigned displays can advantageously be arranged relatively close to one another or in close spatial proximity.
  • the displays may have a single, dedicated LED or other means for each icon or display state to be displayed.
  • FIG. 2 shows the representation of the control device from FIG. 1 in a second operating level with two possible procedures
  • FIG. 3 shows the control device according to FIG. 1 in a third operating level
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment of an operating element
