Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Geschirrspülmaschine, insbesondere eine einbaufähige Geschirrspülmaschine, mit einer schwenkbaren Gerätetür, die auf ihrer oberen Stirnfläche eine optische Betriebsanzeige mit einer oder mehreren Lichtquellen aufweist, welche bei geschlossener Gerätetür von einer oben auf der Spülmaschine aufliegenden Arbeitsplatte überdeckt sind, wobei im Spalt über der Gerätetür und der Unterseite der überdeckenden Arbeitsplatte mindestens ein Lichtleiter angeordnet ist, welcher das Signallicht der überdeckten optischen Betriebsanzeige zu einer Gerätefrontseite lenkt.The The present invention relates to a dishwasher, in particular a built-in dishwasher, with a hinged appliance door that opens their upper face a visual indicator with one or more light sources which, with the door closed, from a top of the dishwasher Overlying worktop covered are, being in the gap over the appliance door and the Bottom of the overlapping Worktop at least one light guide is arranged, which the signal light of the covered ones optical power indicator to a front panel controls.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung eine Geschirrspülmaschine zu schaffen, die an der Frontseite eine kompakt aufgebaute optische Betriebsanzeige ermöglicht, die auch einen gewissen Toleranzausgleich hinsichtlich der Einbauposition bereitstellt.It Therefore, an object of the present invention is a dishwasher to create a compact optical on the front Operating indicator allows, which also has a certain tolerance compensation with regard to the installation position provides.
Diese Aufgabe wird mit einer Geschirrspülmaschine mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.These Task is with a dishwasher with the features of claim 1 solved.
Erfindungsgemäß umfasst der Lichtleiter der Geschirrspülmaschine eine Vielzahl von Profilierungen zur Lichtlenkung eintretender Lichtstrahlen zur Gerätefrontseite. Dadurch kann die optische Betriebsanzeige im Bereich der Profilierungen Lichtstrahlen in den Lichtleiter einleiten, die dann zur Gerätefrontseite umgelenkt werden. Es ist nicht erforderlich, dass der Lichtstrahl exakt an einer einzigen Position des Lichtleiters eintrifft, sondern durch die Vielzahl der Profilierungen kann ein gewisser Toleranzausgleich im Hinblick auf die Einbausituation erfolgen. Zudem kann der Lichtleiter kompakt aufgebaut sein, da eine mehrfache Umlenkung eintretender Lichtstrahlen zunächst zur Seite hin und dann zur Frontseite hin nicht mehr notwendig ist.According to the invention the light guide of the dishwasher a variety of profiles for light control entering light beams to the front of the device. As a result, the optical operating display in the field of profiling Introduce light rays in the light guide, which then to the front of the device be redirected. It is not necessary that the light beam exactly arrives at a single position of the light guide, but Due to the large number of profilings, a certain tolerance compensation can be achieved with regard to the installation situation. In addition, the light guide be compact, since a multiple deflection entering Light rays first to the side and then to the front is no longer necessary.
Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Profilierungen durch eine Vielzahl von Zähnen gebildet, die jeweils zumindest eine zur Gerätefrontseite gerichtete schräg verlaufende Seitenwand aufweisen. Diese Seitenwand bildet dann ein Mittel zur Lichtlenkung eintretender Lichtstrahlen zur Gerätefrontseite hin, wobei durch die Vorsehung einer Vielzahl von Zähnen die Lichtstrahlen im Bereich der Zähne zumindest teilweise zur Gerätefrontseite hin umgelenkt werden.According to one preferred embodiment of the invention are the profilings through a variety of teeth formed, each having at least one directed to the front panel oblique side wall exhibit. This side wall then forms a means of directing light incoming light rays towards the front of the device, wherein the providence of a multitude of teeth the light rays in the area the teeth at least partially to the front of the device be redirected towards.
Eine besonders hohe Lichtintensität an der Frontseite des Gerätes ergibt sich, wenn die Zahnhöhe zur Gerätefrontseite hin abnimmt. Denn dann gibt es immer einen Teil an Lichtstrahlen, die durch die Zähne ohne Unterbrechung zur Gerätefrontseite hin umgelenkt werden, da ein nachfolgender Zahngrund den Lichtstrahl nicht mehr bricht. Der Lichtleiter kann dabei streifenförmig und besonders kompakt ausgebildet sein.A particularly high light intensity on the front of the device results when the tooth height to the front of the device decreases. Because then there is always a part of light rays, through the teeth without interruption to the front of the device be redirected because a subsequent tooth base the light beam no longer breaks. The light guide can be strip-shaped and be made very compact.
Vorzugsweise weist der Lichtleiter einen mit Profilierungen versehenen Abschnitt auf, der größer als die Austrittsfläche der Lichtquelle ist. Dadurch kann der mit Profilierungen versehene Abschnitt die Austrittsfläche überdecken, so dass die Austrittsfläche relativ zu dem Lichtleiter an unterschiedlichen Positionen angeordnet sein kann, wobei im gesamten Bereich der Profilierungen dafür gesorgt ist, dass ein Teil des Lichtes an die Gerätefrontseite gelangt. Je nach Größe des Abschnittes mit den Profilierungen kann somit ein Toleranzausgleich beim Einbau erfolgen. Vorzugsweise sind die Profilierungen dabei nur auf der zur Gerätefrontseite abgewandten Seite angeordnet, an der auch die Lichtquelle vorgesehen ist. An einem weiteren Abschnitt kann der Lichtleiter dann streifenförmig ohne Profilierungen ausgebildet sein, damit dort die Lichtstrahlen ungehindert zur Gerätefrontseite gelangen können.Preferably the light guide has a profiled section on that bigger than the exit surface the light source is. This allows the profiled with Cover the exit area, so that the exit surface arranged at different positions relative to the light guide can be, with the entire range of profiling ensured is that part of the light reaches the front of the device. Depending on Size of the section With the profilings can thus be done tolerance compensation during installation. Preferably, the profiles are only on the front of the device arranged on the opposite side, on which the light source is provided. At a further section, the light guide can then strip without Profilings be formed so that there the light rays unhindered to the front of the device can reach.
Für eine einfache Montage des Lichtleiters ist dieser vorzugsweise in eine Aufnahme eines Abdeckbleches der Geschirrspülmaschine einschiebbar. Der Lichtleiter kann dabei bis zu einem Anschlag eingeschoben werden und bei Bedarf mit dem Abdeckblech auch verrastet werden. Auch andere Mechaniken zur Festlegung des Lichtleiters können eingesetzt werden.For a simple Mounting the light guide is this preferably in a receptacle a cover plate of the dishwasher insertable. Of the Optical fiber can be inserted up to a stop and if necessary with the cover plate and locked. Others too Mechanisms for fixing the light guide can be used.
