Abstract
The invention relates to a control device of a light ring (8) that is located in the front panel (1) of a household appliance having a rotating working element, especially in the front panel (1) of a washing machine having a drum, wherein several light diodes (10) are arranged along the periphery of the light ring (8), all of said diodes being illuminated at the same time and evenly. In order to view the current rotational speed of the working element with the aid of the light ring(8), the control of said light ring is embodied in such a way that the light diodes (10) rotationally flash with a rotational speed that is proportional to the current rotational speed of the working element.
Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to home appliances, it has the operation element of rotation and is used for the controlling organization of Luminous Ring start-up control, Luminous Ring is made up of the conglobate a plurality of light emitting diodes of layout, described a plurality of light emitting diode can be lighted separately and be contained in the front baffle plate of home appliances, especially is contained in the front baffle plate of the clothing maintenance utensil with laundry drum.
Background technology
By the unit equipment of prior art known clothing maintenance utensil such as washing machine, washing and drying and cloth drying, this equipment has a cylinder accommodating laundry, rotation.In order to regulate washing or drying program and wash temperature, use a rotary switch that is contained in the baffle plate of front usually, its knob is furnished with a mark line.Knob is surrounded by a Luminous Ring, on Luminous Ring or the next door wash temperature and washing or drying program are provided.Regulate wash temperature or washing or drying program respectively at this, the mark line of knob points to this temperature or program.Equally distributed and be disposed at this Luminous Ring on the whole circumference of known Luminous Ring with the light emitting diode that the circumference spacing is set mutually.According to a known Luminous Ring controlling organization, the whole light emitting diodes of Luminous Ring simultaneously and light equably.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is, further improve above-mentioned Luminous Ring controlling organization, by means of this Luminous Ring, the present rotary speed of operation element as can be seen.
For this reason, the invention provides a kind of home appliances, it has the operation element of rotation and is used for the controlling organization of Luminous Ring start-up control, described Luminous Ring is made up of the conglobate a plurality of light emitting diodes of layout, described a plurality of light emitting diode can be lighted separately and be accommodated in the front baffle plate of described home appliances, especially be contained in the front baffle plate of clothing maintenance utensil with a laundry drum, described controlling organization constitutes by following mode, be that described a plurality of light emitting diode is glittering in rapid succession with a rotary speed, the present rotary speed of described rotary speed and described operation element is proportional, it is characterized in that, described a plurality of light emitting diode surrounds the knob of a rotary switch, and described knob is installed on the baffle plate of described front.
In above-mentioned home appliances, the rotation direction of the described operation element of the glittering foundation of the rotation of described a plurality of light emitting diodes is carried out in the direction of the clock.
By controlling organization according to light emitting diode of the present invention, as to be used for Luminous Ring, can show the present rotary speed of operation element respectively to the user with simple method, this also can obtain the conclusion of a program of moving about home appliances.Therefore user can a glance just obtain the information about the present rotating speed of operation element, and also obtain information thus, although this user and this home appliances keeps at a certain distance away and only observe its operation outwardly about the present resulting program step of home appliances.Shown in this case information should be readily appreciated that, and is glittering because the operation element of a faster rotation rotates the light emitting diode of Luminous Ring quickly, otherwise also be like this.
According to the present invention, the Luminous Ring controlling organization comprises a controller, and it is according to a light emitting diode of being controlled Luminous Ring by a rotating speed that the operation element that speed probe obtained is present selectively.
According to the present invention, the controlling organization of described Luminous Ring is preferred to be provided with like this, and promptly this Luminous Ring is surrounded the knob of the rotary switch of clothing maintenance utensil, and washing and the drying program that can regulate by knob is provided on Luminous Ring or by it.On the meaning of function combination, make full use of an original Luminous Ring that just exists in clothing maintenance utensil on the unique element thus, additionally be used to represent the rotary speed of laundry drum.Because Luminous Ring is surrounded this knob, so the adjusting position of drum speed is consistent in the favourable mode in human engineering aspect with the position of this regulating effect of expression.When for example the glittering rotary speed of light emitting diode was lower than running status " drying " when " washing " in working order, a glance just can be distinguished this two kinds of duties thus.
According to a kind of improvement project, this light emitting diode is preferably glittering by turning clockwise.
Description of drawings
Below by means of the embodiment of concise and to the point diagrammatic sketch description according to Luminous Ring controlling organization of the present invention.Unique accompanying drawing illustrates the part figure of the front baffle plate of a two-piece appliance that is used to wash and dry clothing with front view, and this utensil has a Luminous Ring controlling organization according to the preferred embodiments of the present invention.
The specific embodiment
Fix a rotary switch 2 rotationally at a front baffle plate 1 of two-piece appliance that is used for washing and dry clothing that is not shown specifically, this rotary switch has one from the outstanding knob 4 of front baffle plate 1, and this knob has mark 6.Described rotary switch 2 is used for regulating washing and drying program and wash temperature, and described program and temperature provide at circumference around the transparent luminescent ring 8 that surrounds knob 4 fully.Regulate wash temperature or washing or drying program in known manner respectively at this, the mark 6 of knob 4 points to this program.On a side of leaving positive side observer of Luminous Ring 8, along its circumference space circumference spacing a plurality of light emitting diodes 10 are set.
Described light emitting diode 10 is connected with a unshowned controlling organization of the reason owing to ratio, and this controlling organization obtains the present rotating speed of two-piece appliance laundry wheel as sensor signal by a speed probe.At this, light emitting diode 10 is controlled so selectively by controlling organization: make this light emitting diode glittering rotatably with a rotary speed, the rotary speed of the laundry wheel of this speed and two-piece appliance is proportional.When for example the glittering rotary speed of the rotation of light emitting diode 10 is lower than in working order " drying " when " washing " in working order.The rotation of light emitting diode 10 is glittering preferably to be realized in a clockwise direction, represented as arrow in the accompanying drawing.
Rotate glittering meaning, from the glittering line time delay of going forward side by side of short time respectively of light emitting diode of single light emitting diode 10 beginnings, this diode is to be connected each adjacent light emitting diode 10 clockwise or counterclockwise respectively.This process feels it is that a luminous point 12 moves with the circumference of a definite rotary speed along Luminous Ring 10 to the observer's.
The present invention is not limited to the Luminous Ring controlling organization of the two-piece appliance that is used to wash and dry clothing, but can be used for the household electrical appliance that those are furnished with the rotary work element, for example also can be used for food mixer.
