Description

A HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCE COMPRISING A KNOB PROVIDING EASE OF UTILIZATION
The present invention relates to a household appliance comprising a knob disposed on the panel and which provides ease of utilization.
In the state of the art, in household appliances, rotary knobs are widely used which provide the operation of the household appliances or the setting of the programs. The information like the program parameters or operation settings selected by moving the knob is shown on a screen. The screen and the knob disposed at different sections of the panel occupy separate spaces on the panel. This situation prevents effective utilization of the area on the panel. Furthermore, utilization becomes difficult since the user has to move the knob while monitoring the screen.
In the state of the art Patent Application No. WO2006019220, LED (light emitting diodes) displays are disclosed, disposed around the program knob which facilitate the selection and display of the desired program in the washing machine.
The aim of the present invention is the realization of a household appliance comprising a knob which enables the user to easily monitor the information like operation settings or program parameters by using the area on the panel effectively.
The household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises a knob disposed on the panel, enabling the user to select various programs and operation settings and a circuit board that detects the selected information. The knob comprises a screen thereon which shows the program or the operation information. The LED or LCD screen displays photographic images and/or information like the television, cellular phone or computer monitor. With the movement of the knob, any kind of information relating to the desired program option or the state of the operation can be viewed and selected from the screen on the knob. Thus, the user can view and select the program or operation settings that change with the movement of the knob without looking at a different place on the panel while rotating the knob. By means of the screen being disposed on the knob, the panel area is used effectively and an esthetic appearance is maintained.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the knob comprises a cylindrical body whereon the screen is disposed and a ring-shaped outer sheath that surrounds the body. The outer sheath is moved by the user, thus the program parameters or operation settings can be changed and selected. Since the body is situated almost at the center of the outer sheath, reading the screen is easy.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the parameters shown on the screen change as the outer sheath is moved. When the desired parameter is displayed on the screen, this parameter is selected by stopping the movement of the outer sheath.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the knob comprises a body that remains stationary during the movement of the outer sheath. The information on the screen disposed on the body can be easily read by means of the body remaining stationary while the outer sheath moves.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the knob comprises an inner sheath that is mounted on the body, whereon the outer sheath is disposed, which transmits the changed and selected program parameters by the movement of the outer sheath to the circuit board. During this process, the inner sheath provides data transfer between the outer sheath and the circuit board.
In a derivative of this embodiment, the knob comprises more than one step arranged on the inner sheath, each one corresponding to a program parameter and a spring disposed on the outer sheath and providing the selection of the program parameters by passing over the steps with the movement of the outer sheath. The steps are arranged circularly on the inner sheath at certain intervals. Each step corresponds to a program parameter predetermined by the producer. When the outer sheath is rotated by the user, the program or operation information corresponding to the respective step is displayed on the screen.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the knob comprises the screen that is embedded into the body. Thus, dust, dirt, foreign substances etc. are not accumulated around the screen and the esthetic perception of the user is improved.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the knob rotates. As the knob is rotated, the program information changes thus the user can select the desired program.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the screen comprises at least two grids wherein the program parameter of at least one grid changes with the movement of the knob while the parameters shown by the other grids do not change. Thus, various information can be shown on the screen simultaneously.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the knob comprises a transmitter disposed on the screen and providing the contact between the screen and the circuit board. The transmitter transfers the program or operation information and the detected user selection transmitted by the circuit board to the screen.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the knob comprises a protector disposed in front of the screen and protecting the screen. The protector isolates the screen from external factors.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the body comprises at least one pin on the portion thereof facing the panel and the panel comprises at least one fixing hole whereby the body is fastened to the panel by inserting the pin therein. By means of inserting the pin into the fixing hole, the body is fixed to the panel. Consequently, the information on the screen situated on the body can be displayed properly.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the outer sheath comprises at least one claw on the portion thereof facing the body and the body comprises at least one housing thereon wherein the claw is movably inserted. Thus, the outer sheath enables the program, operation settings, etc. to be changed and selected by moving on the body.
In different embodiments of the present invention, the household appliance is a dishwasher, a washing machine or an oven.
By means of the present invention, a household appliance is realized which comprises an esthetic knob, providing ease of utilization, occupying less space and whereby the information relating to the selected program or the operation state can be viewed from the screen thereon.
The household appliance realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:
