The built-in dishwasher (1) comprises a washing chamber (2); a door (3) that is opened by the user to access the washing chamber (2); a decorative lid (4) that is mounted to the front surface of the door (3), that moves together with the door (3) and that is produced preferably from wooden material, and a door opening mechanism (5) that enables the door (3) to be opened.
The built-in dishwasher (1) of the present invention comprises
- a capacitive transmitter (7) that has a contact surface (6) arranged on the lid (4), that extends from the lid (4) onto the door (3) and that transmits to the door (3) the electrical charge applied by the user touching the contact surface (6) and
- a control unit that is disposed inside the door (3), that has a capacitive measurement circuit and enables the door opening mechanism (5) to be actuated by detecting the electrical charge transmitted by the capacitive transmitter (7), thus providing the opening of the lid (4) (Figure 1, Figure 2).
In the built-in dishwasher (1) of the present invention, when the user touches the contact surface (6) of the capacitive transmitter (7) arranged on the lid (4), an electrical charge exchange occurs between the capacitive transmitter (7) and the
user. The capacitive transmitter (7) transmits the electrical charge generated by the touch of the user to the control unit (8) disposed in the door (3). The control unit (8) measures the electrical charge by means of the capacitive measurement circuit and according to the measurement, detects the "door (3) opening command". Upon detecting the door (3) opening command, the control unit (8) actuates the door opening mechanism (5) and thus provides the opening of the door (3). The door (3) is opened only by the user's touch on the capacitive transmitter (7) on the lid (4), thus eliminating the need for using a handle.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the capacitive transmitter (7) is L- shaped with one end thereof forming contact surface (6) extending on the front surface of the lid (4) and the other end extending towards the upper edge of the door
(3) . Without making any changes on the door (3) or the lid (4), the capacitive transmitter (7) extending from the lid (4) towards the door (3) is mounted and the contact surface (6) extending towards the front surface of the lid (4) enables the user to give the "door (3) opening command" while the door (3) is closed (Figure 2).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises the door (3), the level of the upper edge of which is lower than the level of the upper edge of the lid (4), and a spring (9) with one end connected to the capacitive transmitter (7) and the other end to the upper edge of the door (3), the spring (9) enabling to conduct the electrical charge carried by the capacitive transmitter (7) to the control unit (8). Since the spring (9) can lengthen/shorten between the capacitive transmitter (7) and the door (3), the spring (9) enables the lid
(4) to be mounted to the door (3) so that their upper edges are situated at different levels (Figure 3). In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises the door (3), the level of the upper edge of which is lower than the level of the upper edge of the lid (4), a channel (10) that opens in a direction perpendicular to the upper edge of the door (3) and an extension (11) with one end connected to the capacitive transmitter (7) and the other end passing through the channel (10) to extend into the door (3), the extension (11) enabling the electrical
charge carried by the capacitive transmitter (7) to be transmitter to the control unit (8). Since the extension (11) can move inside the channel (10), the extension (11) enables the lid (4) to be mounted to the door (4) so that their upper edges are situated at different levels (Figure 4). In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises a hole (12) bored on the lid (4) and the capacitive transmitter (7) that is disposed into the hole (12) to extend towards the door (3) (Figure 5).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises a recess (13) bored on the upper edge of the lid (4) and the capacitive transmitter (7) that is disposed into the recess (13) to extend towards the door (3) (Figure 6).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises the lid (4), the level of the upper edge of which is lower than the level of the upper edge of the door (3), and the bar-shaped capacitive transmitter (7) that is seated onto the lid (4) and the contact surface (6) extending along the upper edge of the lid (4) (Figure 7).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises the telescopic capacitive transmitter (7) that is suitable to be used with the decorative lids (4) in different thicknesses and that is disposed into the hole (12) arranged on the lid (4) or into the recess (13). In this embodiment, the length of the telescopic capacitive transmitter (7) is adjusted by being lengthened/shortened according to the thickness of the lid (4).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises a casing (14) that is produced from plastic material and that is disposed at the upper region of the door (3) between the control unit (8) and the capacitive transmitter (7) (Figure 8). Thanks to its electrical and thermal insulation characteristics, the casing (14) protects electronic components that may be affected from the environment conditions such as moisture, temperature, etc. The casing (14) furthermore enables the transmission of the electrical charge carried by the capacitive transmitter (7) to the control unit (8). Being produced from plastic
material, the casing (14) produces dielectric effect between the capacitive transmitter (7) and the control unit (8) and enables the controlled transmission of the electrical charge.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the capacitive transmitter (7) is produced from metal material.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the capacitive transmitter (7) is produced from plastic material.
In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the capacitive transmitter (7) is produced from a composite material comprising metal and plastic. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, the capacitive transmitter (7) is produced from indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated plastic material improving the electrical charge conductivity.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the capacitive transmitter (7) is produced from plastic sheets that are joined in a sandwiched manner, between which a sheet produced from indium tin oxide (ΓΓΌ) or any other metal material is placed.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the built-in dishwasher (1) comprises a light source (15), for example LED, disposed on the control unit (8) and a capacitive transmitter (7) that is produced from light guiding material, for example transparent plastic and that extends from the front surface of the lid (4) towards the light source (15) (Figure 9). In this embodiment of the present invention, while the door (3) is closed and the dishwasher (1) is being operated, the light source (15) is active and illuminated and the light emitted thereby is carried to the front surface of the lid (4) by the capacitive transmitter (7) and reaches the outer environment from the contact surface (6). Thus, the user can understand that the dishwasher (1) is being operated without opening the door (3). The light source (15) does not emit any light in the passive position. In this case, the user can understand that the washing process in the dishwasher (1) is completed.
By means of the present invention, in the front- loading built-in dishwasher (1), the user is enabled to give the door (3) opening command by touching the capacitive transmitter (7) on the lid (4), thus providing the opening of the door (3) by means of the door opening mechanism (5). The need for the use of a handle on the decorative lid (4) to open the door (3) is eliminated.
