Znano stanje tehnikeThe prior art

Pri snovanju upravljalnih sistemov aparatov, še posebej tistih, ki se uporabljajo v gospodinjstvu, je zelo pomembna za uporabnika enostavno in hitro razumljivo upravljanje, hkrati pa mora biti zunanji izgled aparata dovolj privlačen. Nadalje naj kupec razume napravo, često na podzavestnem nivoju, kot tehnično dovršeno in uporabniku prijazno. Še posebej to velja gospodinjske aparate.When designing the control systems of the appliances, especially those used in the home, it is very important for the user to operate easily and quickly and easily and at the same time to make the appearance of the appliance attractive enough. Furthermore, the customer should understand the device, often at a subconscious level, as technically sophisticated and user friendly. This is especially true of home appliances.

Tako se že dolgo uporabljajo svetlobnimi znaki za prikaz izbrane nastavitve programa in/ali trenutnega stanja delovanja aparata.Thus, light signs have long been used to indicate the selected program setting and / or the current state of operation of the appliance.

Pri doslej znanih rešitvah se za svetlobni prikaz izbrane nastavitve programa in/ali trenutnega stanja delovanja aparata uporablja za vsako nastavitev posebej in sicer na različnih mestih upravljalne plošče svoje svetlobno telo ali pa je več pozicij osvetljenih naenkrat s skupnim svetlobnim telesom.With the solutions known so far, the light of the selected program setting and / or the current state of operation of the apparatus is used for each setting individually, at different places of the control panel, its light body, or several positions are illuminated simultaneously with a common light body.

Pomanjkljivost teh znanih rešitev je v tem, da veliko število sestavnih delov podaljšuje čas sestavljanja, povečuje možnost okvare in tudi cenovno ni ugodno.The disadvantage of these known solutions is that a large number of components prolong the assembly time, increase the possibility of failure and is also not cost effective.

Zato obstaja potreba po taki rešitvi nove konstrukcije, pri kateri bo za uporabnika ohranjen približno enak način označevanja s svetlobnimi znaki in ki bo sestavljena iz manjšega števila delov in z enostavno elektroniko, da bo izdelovalno in tudi cenovno primerna za velikoserijsko proizvodnjoTherefore, there is a need for such a solution of a new construction, in which the user will retain approximately the same way of marking with light signs and consisting of a smaller number of parts and with simple electronics, to be productive and also affordable for large-scale production.

Rešitev tehničnega problemaThe solution to a technical problem

Opisni tehnično problem je rešen sklopom gumba izbimika programa po izumu, katerega bistvena značilnost je v tem, da je za označevanje več programskih mest uporabljeno samo eno svetlobno telo, prednostno dioda, pri čemer je svetlobno telo togo povezano z izbirnim gumbom da se z njim tudi vrti izza maske s prosojnimi okni ob oznaki za posamezen program. Hkrati pa tečeta električna kontakta svetlobnega telesa po paru koncentričnih električno prevodnih obročev, ki sta pod napetostjo, kadar je stroj vklopljen, s čimer sveti tudi svetlobno telo.The descriptive technical problem is solved by means of a set of program selector knobs according to the invention, the essential feature of which is that only one light body, preferably a diode, is used for marking several program positions, the light body being rigidly connected to the selection button and rotates behind the mask with translucent windows next to the label for each program. At the same time, the electrical contacts of the light body flow through a pair of concentric electrically conductive rings, which are energized when the machine is switched on, thus illuminating the light body.

Podrobneje bo bistvo izuma pojasnjeno v nadaljevanju z opisom izvedbenega primera in priložene risbe, na katerih kaže sl. 1 naris dela upravljalne plošče z gumbom po izumu; in.The essence of the invention will be explained in more detail below with a description of an embodiment and the accompanying drawings, in which FIG. 1 is an outline of a portion of a control panel with a button according to the invention; and.

sl. 2 prečni prerez po črti II-II s sl. 1.FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along line II-II of FIG. 1.

Na upravljalni plošči 1 je nameščen vrtljiv gumb 2 na slikah neprikazanega izbimika programa. Z vrtenjem gumba 2 se vrti tudi os 3 izbimika programa. Na gumbu 2 je na zadnji strani plošče 1 nameščen nosilec 4 svetlobnega telesa 5, prednostno diode. V nosilcu 4 je nameščeno svetlobno telo 5 tako, da sta njegova električna kontakta 6 prosta. Hkrati je svetlobno telo 5 nameščeno na nosilcu 4 v taki oddaljenosti od osi vrtenja gumba 2, kot znaša polmer krožnice, na kateri so na plošči 1 razporejena prosojna okna 7, ki označujejo označuje izbrani program delovanja oziroma trenutno nastavitev oziroma stanje tega programa. Električna kontakta 6 svetlobnega telesa 5 sta fiksno galvansko povezana z dvema elastičnima in električno prevodnima drsnikoma 8, ki se dotikata in z vrtenjem gumba 2 drsita po dveh koncentričnih kontaktnih obročih 9, ki sta pri električnoControl panel 1 has a rotary knob 2 in the images of a non-displayed program burst. Turning the button 2 also rotates the axis 3 of the program burst. On the button 2, a support 4 of the light body 5, preferably a diode, is mounted on the back of the panel 1. In the carrier 4, the light body 5 is mounted so that its electrical contacts 6 are free. At the same time, the light body 5 is mounted on a support 4 at a distance from the axis of rotation of the button 2, such that the radius of the circle on which the translucent windows 7 are arranged on panel 1, which indicates the selected program of operation or the current setting or status of this program. The electrical contacts 6 of the light body 5 are fixed galvanically connected to two elastic and electrically conductive sliders 8 that touch and rotate the knob 2 to slide through two concentric contact rings 9 which are electrically

Ob prosojnih oknih 7 na plošči 1 so izvedene označbe 11 programov. Kotna razvrstitev označb 11 ustreza vsakokratni izbiri ali stanju programa glede na kot zavrtitve osi izbimika programov.Along the translucent windows 7 in panel 1, the markings of 11 programs are executed. The angular classification of the markings 11 corresponds to the respective choice or condition of the program according to the angle of rotation of the axis of the program break.

Ob vključitvi oz. med delovanjem aparata, sta kontaktna obroča 9 pod električno napetostjo. Zaradi električnega stika preko elastičnih drsnikov 8 je pod napetostjo tudi svetlobno telo 5, ki zato sveti ne glede na kot zavrtitve gumba. Ko uporabnik nastavi gumb 2 na določen program , pride svetlobno telo 5 izza prosojno okna 7, ki se nahaja ob označbi izbranega programa. Svetloba telesa 5 se prenese na površino prosojnega okna 7, kar uporabnik zazna kot prižgano luč ob izbranem programu.At inclusion or. while the appliance is operating, the contact rings 9 are electrically powered. Due to the electrical contact through the elastic sliders 8, the light body 5 is also energized, which therefore illuminates regardless of the angle of rotation of the knob. When the user adjusts button 2 to a specific program, the light body 5 comes from behind the transparent window 7, which is located next to the mark of the selected program. The light of the body 5 is transmitted to the surface of the translucent window 7, which the user detects as a light on the selected program.

Opisana izvedba vključuje po eno svetlobno telo 5, ki svetlobno označuje posamezno označbo 11 skozi pripadajoče prosojno okno 7.The described embodiment includes one light body 5, which lightly marks the individual mark 11 through the corresponding transparent window 7.

Razumljivo je, da je možno izvesti tudi več svetlobnih teles 5 in več svetlobnih oken 7, ki pripadajo posamezni označbi 11, pri čemer se posamezno svetlobno telo prižiga preko dodatnih stikal za vklop podprogramov ali drugih funkcij stroja.It is understood that several light bodies 5 and several light windows 7 belonging to a particular mark 11 may also be made, with the individual light body being lit via additional switches for switching on subroutines or other functions of the machine.

Razume se, da lahko strokovnjak s tega področja na osnovi poznavanja opisanega izuma in izvedbenega primera zasnuje tudi drugačne izvedbene primere tako glede notranje konstrukcije kot tudi zunanjega, uporabniku dostopnega dela v smislu industrijskega oblikovanja, ne da bi obšel značilnosti izuma, ki so opredeljene v sledečih patentnih zahtevkih.It is understood that one of skill in the art may, based on the knowledge of the described invention and embodiment, also design other embodiments, both in terms of internal construction and external, accessible to the user in terms of industrial design without circumventing the features of the invention defined in the following patent claims.
