In the present case, "in one piece" means that the shutter box is formed from only one component and is not composed of several individual components. However, as previously mentioned, the structure of the shutter box is arbitrary.
Unter einem "formschlüssigen Eingriff" ist vorliegend eine Verbindung zu verstehen, die durch das Eingreifen oder Hintergreifen von mindestens zwei Verbindungspartnern, vorliegend dem Eingriffsabschnitt und dem Bedienmodul, erzielt werden kann. Eine formschlüssige Verbindung ist lösbar. Das heißt, das Bedienmodul kann auch wieder von dem Montagezustand in den Demontagezustand zurückverbracht werden. "Außer formschlüssigem Eingriff" bedeutet dementsprechend, dass der Eingriffsabschnitt und das Bedienmodul nicht miteinander in Eingriff sind. Besonders bevorzugt sind zwei Eingriffsabschnitte vorgesehen. Darunter, dass das Dichtelement in dem Montagezustand "verpresst" ist, ist insbesondere zu verstehen, dass das Dichtelement in dem Montagezustand im Vergleich zu dem Demontagezustand elastisch, insbesondere federelastisch, verformt ist.In the present case, a “positive engagement” is to be understood as meaning a connection which can be achieved by engaging or engaging behind at least two connection partners, in this case the engagement section and the operating module. A positive connection can be released. This means that the operating module can also be brought back from the assembled state to the disassembled state. "Out of positive engagement" accordingly means that the engagement section and the operating module are not engaged with one another. Two engagement sections are particularly preferably provided. The fact that the sealing element is “pressed” in the assembled state is to be understood in particular to mean that the sealing element is elastically, in particular resiliently, deformed in the assembled state compared to the disassembled state.
Der Tür der Haushalts-Geschirrspülmaschine ist insbesondere eine x-Richtung oder Tiefenrichtung, eine y-Richtung oder Hochrichtung und eine z-Richtung oder Breitenrichtung zugeordnet. Die Richtungen sind senkrecht zueinander positioniert. Insbesondere ist die vorgenannte Drehachse in der Hochrichtung betrachtet oberhalb des Eingriffsabschnitts oder der Eingriffsabschnitte angeordnet. Die Drehachse verläuft insbesondere in oder parallel zu der Breitenrichtung. Das Bedienmodul ist insbesondere von einer Stirnseite der Tür aus bedienbar. Die Stirnseite wird von der Tiefenrichtung und der Breitenrichtung aufgespannt. Das heißt, eine Bedienung des Bedienmoduls erfolgt bevorzugt entlang der Hochrichtung und nicht entlang der Breitenrichtung oder der Tiefenrichtung. Die Stirnseite kann eine stirnseitige Decke des Blendenkastens sein.In particular, an x-direction or depth direction, a y-direction or vertical direction and a z-direction or width direction are assigned to the door of the domestic dishwasher. The directions are positioned perpendicular to each other. Specifically, the aforesaid axis of rotation is located above the engaging portion or portions when viewed in the vertical direction. The axis of rotation runs in particular in or parallel to the width direction. The operating module can be operated in particular from a front side of the door. The front side is spanned by the depth direction and the width direction. This means that the operating module is preferably operated in the vertical direction and not in the width direction or the depth direction. The front side can be a front cover of the shutter box.
Gemäß einer Ausführungsform weist das Bedienmodul Einhängeelemente auf, die in korrespondierende Aufnahmeabschnitte des Blendenkastens eingehängt sind, um das Bedienmodul um die Drehachse zu verschwenken.According to one embodiment, the operating module has hooking elements that are hooked into corresponding receiving sections of the shutter box in order to pivot the operating module about the axis of rotation.
Die Aufnahmeabschnitte können an dem Blendenkasten vorgesehene Ausnehmungen sein, in denen die Einhängeelemente aufnehmbar sind. Die Einhängeelemente und die Aufnahmeabschnitte ermöglichen die Verschwenkung des Bedienmoduls um die Drehachse. Bevorzugt sind zwei in der Breitenrichtung voneinander beabstandet angeordnete Einhängeelemente vorgesehen. Dementsprechend sind bevorzugt auch zwei in der Breitenrichtung voneinander beabstandet angeordnete Aufnahmeabschnitte vorgesehen. Besonders bevorzugt sind jedoch vier Einhängeelemente vorgesehen. Dementsprechend können auch vier Aufnahmeabschnitte vorgesehen sein.The receiving sections can be recesses provided on the shutter box, in which the suspension elements can be received. The hanging elements and the receiving sections allow the operating module to be pivoted about the axis of rotation. Preferably, two hanging elements are provided which are spaced apart from one another in the width direction. Accordingly, two receiving sections arranged spaced apart from one another in the width direction are preferably also provided. However, four suspension elements are particularly preferred. Accordingly, four receiving sections can also be provided.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weisen die Einhängeelemente jeweils einen Achsenabschnitt auf, um den das Bedienmodul von dem Demontagezustand in den Montagezustand verschwenkbar ist.According to a further embodiment, the suspension elements each have an axis section about which the operating module can be pivoted from the dismantled state into the assembled state.
Der Achsenabschnitt kann beispielsweise zylinderförmig sein. Der Achsenabschnitt kann auch jede andere beliebige Geometrie aufweisen. Der Achsenabschnitt definiert die Drehachse, um die das Bedienmodul an dem Blendenkasten verschwenkbar ist.The axis section can be cylindrical, for example. The axis section can also have any other desired geometry. The axis section defines the axis of rotation about which the operating module can be pivoted on the shutter box.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist der Eingriffsabschnitt des Blendenkastens ein Schnapphaken, der das Bedienmodul in dem Montagezustand zumindest abschnittsweise formschlüssig hintergreift.According to a further embodiment, the engagement section of the cover box is a snap hook, which engages behind the operating module in a form-fitting manner at least in sections in the assembled state.
Vorzugsweise sind mehrere Eingriffsabschnitte vorgesehen. Besonders bevorzugt sind zwei Eingriffsabschnitte vorgesehen, die in der Breitenrichtung voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind. Die beiden Eingriffsabschnitte hintergreifen das Bedienmodul synchron oder hinterschnappen dieses synchron.

More preferably, two engaging portions are provided which are spaced from each other in the width direction. The two engagement sections engage behind the operating module synchronously or snap behind it synchronously. "Synchronously" here means simultaneously.
Erfindungsgemäß weist das Bedienmodul ein Bedienmodulgehäuse und eine in dem Bedienmodulgehäuse aufgenommene Bedien- und Anzeigeelektronik auf.According to the invention, the operating module has an operating module housing and operating and display electronics accommodated in the operating module housing.
Das Bedienmodulgehäuse ist vorzugsweise ein Kunststoffbauteil. Beispielsweise kann das Bedienmodulgehäuse ein Kunststoffspritzgussbauteil sein. Das Bedienmodulgehäuse kann einteilig, insbesondere materialeinstückig, ausgebildet sein. "Materialeinstückig" bedeutet hierbei, dass das Bedienmodulgehäuse durchgehend aus demselben Werkstoff gefertigt ist. Die Bedien- und Anzeigeelektronik kann eine Leiterplatte mit darauf montierten elektronischen Bauelementen umfassen. Die elektronischen Bauelemente können beispielsweise lichtemittierende Dioden, Mikroprozessoren, Schalter oder dergleichen umfassen.The operating module housing is preferably a plastic component. For example, the operating module housing can be a plastic injection molded component. The operating module housing can be designed in one piece, in particular in one piece of material. "One-piece material" here means that the operating module housing is made of the same material throughout. The operating and display electronics can have a printed circuit board mounted on it include electronic components. The electronic components can include, for example, light-emitting diodes, microprocessors, switches or the like.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist das Dichtelement fest mit dem Bedienmodulgehäuse verbunden, insbesondere mit Hilfe eines Kunststoffspritzgussverfahrens an dieses angespritzt.According to a further embodiment, the sealing element is firmly connected to the operating module housing, in particular molded onto it with the aid of a plastic injection molding process.
Besonders bevorzugt ist das Dichtelement stoffschlüssig mit dem Bedienmodulgehäuse verbunden. Bei stoffschlüssigen Verbindungen werden die Verbindungspartner durch atomare oder molekulare Kräfte zusammengehalten. Stoffschlüssige Verbindungen sind nicht lösbare Verbindungen, die sich nur Zerstörung der Verbindungsmittel und/oder der Verbindungspartner trennen lassen. Beispielsweise ist das Dichtelement mit dem Bedienmodulgehäuse verklebt. Alternativ kann das Dichtelement auch mit Hilfe eines Kunststoffspritzgussverfahrens direkt an das Bedienmodulgehäuse angespritzt sein. In diesem Fall kann das Bedienmodulgehäuse beispielsweise mit Hilfe eines Zweikomponenten-Spritzgussverfahrens hergestellt sein. Das Dichtelement kann als Dichtlippe ausgebildet sein. Besonders bevorzugt umfasst das Dichtelement mehrere voneinander beabstandet angeordnete Dichtlippen. Beispielsweise können zwei Dichtlippen vorgesehen sein. Das Dichtelement ist bevorzugt aus einem elastisch verformbaren Kunststoffmaterial gefertigt.The sealing element is particularly preferably bonded to the operating module housing. In the case of material connections, the connection partners are held together by atomic or molecular forces. Cohesive connections are non-detachable connections that can only be separated by destroying the connection means and/or the connection partner. For example, the sealing element is glued to the operating module housing. Alternatively, the sealing element can also be molded directly onto the operating module housing using a plastic injection molding process. In this case, the operating module housing can be produced using a two-component injection molding process, for example. The sealing element can be designed as a sealing lip. The sealing element particularly preferably comprises a plurality of sealing lips arranged at a distance from one another. For example, two sealing lips can be provided. The sealing element is preferably made of an elastically deformable plastic material.
Erfindungsgemäß weist das Bedienmodulgehäuse eine in Richtung des Dichtelementes geneigte Oberseite auf.According to the invention, the operating module housing has an upper side that is inclined in the direction of the sealing element.
Unter der Oberseite ist die vor Feuchtigkeit zu schützende Bedien- und Anzeigeelektronik angeordnet. Insbesondere weist die Oberseite von der Innentür in Richtung der Außentür eine negative Steigung auf. Das heißt, die Oberseite fällt von der Innentür in Richtung der Außentür ab. Die Oberseite leitet in die Tür eingedrungene Flüssigkeit hin zu dem Dichtelement.The operating and display electronics, which are to be protected from moisture, are located under the top. In particular, the top has a negative slope from the inner door towards the outer door. That is, the top slopes down from the inner door toward the outer door. The top directs liquid that has entered the door towards the sealing element.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist das Bedienmodulgehäuse eine sich über die Oberseite hinaus erstreckende Trennwand auf.According to a further embodiment, the operating module housing has a partition wall that extends beyond the top.

The partition wall and the top are formed in one piece, in particular in one piece of material.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Trennwand in dem Montagezustand zwischen zwei voneinander beabstandet angeordneten Dichtwänden des Blendenkastens angeordnet, so dass die Trennwand und die Dichtwände eine Labyrinthdichtung ausbilden.According to a further embodiment, the dividing wall is arranged in the mounted state between two sealing walls of the diaphragm box which are arranged at a distance from one another, so that the dividing wall and the sealing walls form a labyrinth seal.
Zwischen den Dichtwänden ist ein Zwischenraum vorgesehen, in dem die Trennwand in dem Montagezustand angeordnet ist. Bei dem Verbringen des Bedienmoduls von dem Demontagezustand in den Montagezustand schwenkt die Trennwand in diesen Zwischenraum hinein, um die Labyrinthdichtung auszubilden. Die Labyrinthdichtung verhindert ein Eindringen von Flüssigkeit zwischen den Blendenkasten und die Innentür.An intermediate space is provided between the sealing walls, in which the partition wall is arranged in the assembled state. When the operating module is moved from the dismantled state to the assembled state, the partition wall pivots into this intermediate space in order to form the labyrinth seal. The labyrinth seal prevents liquid from penetrating between the shutter box and the inner door.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist eine Betätigungstaste durch einen in der Oberseite vorgesehenen Durchbruch hindurchgeführt.According to a further embodiment, an actuating button is passed through an opening provided in the top.

Ferner kann die Oberseite auch eine oder mehrere Durchbrüche für einen Lichtleiter aufweisen, der geeignet ist, Licht von einer auf der Leiterplatte der Anzeige- und Bedienelektronik vorgesehenen lichtemittierenden Diode durch das Bedienelementgehäuse herauszuleiten.In particular, a large number of actuating buttons and, accordingly, a large number of openings are provided. A switch provided on the printed circuit board of the electronic display and control unit can be actuated, for example, with the aid of the actuating button. Furthermore, the upper side can also have one or more openings for a light guide, which is suitable for guiding light out through the operating element housing from a light-emitting diode provided on the printed circuit board of the display and operating electronics.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist an der Oberseite eine um den Durchbruch umlaufende Trennwand vorgesehen.According to a further embodiment, a partition surrounding the opening is provided on the upper side.
Die Trennwand kann beispielsweise eine rechteckförmige Geometrie oder eine zylinderförmige Geometrie aufweisen. Jedem Durchbruch ist eine derartige Trennwand zugeordnet. Für den zuvor erwähnten Lichtleiter kann eine ebensolche Trennwand vorgesehen sein. Die Trennwand verhindert, dass Flüssigkeit durch den Durchbruch hindurchtreten kann. Die Trennwand leitet die Flüssigkeit um den Durchbruch herum.The partition wall can have a rectangular geometry or a cylindrical geometry, for example. Such a partition wall is assigned to each breakthrough. A partition wall of the same type can be provided for the aforementioned light guide. The partition wall prevents liquid from passing through the opening. The partition directs the liquid around the aperture.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist auf der Oberseite eine Dichtmatte platziert, die ein Eindringen von Flüssigkeit durch den Durchbruch verhindert.According to a further embodiment, a sealing mat is placed on the upper side, which prevents liquid from penetrating through the opening.
Die Dichtmatte verhindert ein Eindringen der Flüssigkeit in der Hochrichtung. Zwischen der Dichtmatte und der Oberseite eingetretene Flüssigkeit wird mit Hilfe der Trennwand des Durchbruchs um den Durchbruch herum geleitet.The sealing mat prevents liquid from penetrating in the vertical direction. Liquid that has entered between the sealing mat and the upper side is guided around the opening with the help of the partition wall of the opening.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist die Betätigungstaste einteilig, insbesondere materialeinstückig, mit der Dichtmatte ausgebildet.According to a further embodiment, the actuating button is formed in one piece, in particular in one piece of material, with the sealing mat.
Die Dichtmatte ist vorzugsweise aus einem elastisch verformbaren Material gefertigt. Beispielsweise kann die Dichtmatte aus Silikon oder aus einem thermoplastischen Elastomer (TPE), insbesondere einem thermoplastischen Polyurethan (TPU), gefertigt sein. Die Betätigungstaste ist stabförmig ausgebildet und durch den Durchbruch hindurchgeführt. Die Betätigungstaste kann beispielsweise einen kreisförmigen oder einen rechteckförmigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Die Dichtmatte weist bevorzugt einen plattenförmigen Basisabschnitt auf, an den die Betätigungstaste einteilig, insbesondere materialeinstückig, angeformt ist.The sealing mat is preferably made of an elastically deformable material. For example, the sealing mat can be made of silicone or of a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), in particular a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The actuating button is rod-shaped and passed through the opening. The actuating button can have a circular or a rectangular cross-section, for example. The sealing mat preferably has a plate-shaped base section on which the actuating button is formed in one piece, in particular in one piece of material.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist der Blendenkasten eine Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnung aus, wobei die Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnung außentürseitig vorgesehen ist.According to a further embodiment, the shutter box has a liquid outlet opening, the liquid outlet opening being provided on the outside of the door.
"Außentürseitig" bedeutet vorliegend, dass die Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnung der Außentür zugewandt ist. Mit Hilfe der geneigten Oberseite des Bedienmodulgehäuses wird die Flüssigkeit der Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnung zugeführt. Die Flüssigkeit kann dann zwischen dem Blendenkasten und der Außentür ablaufen und verdunsten."Outer door side" means here that the liquid outlet opening faces the outer door. The liquid is fed to the liquid outlet opening with the help of the inclined upper side of the operating module housing. The liquid can then drain between the shutter box and the outer door and evaporate.
Gemäß einer weiteren Ausführungsform ist eine Vielzahl an Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnungen vorgesehen, die in einer Reihe nebeneinander platziert sind.According to a further embodiment, a large number of liquid outlet openings are provided, which are placed next to one another in a row.
Die Anzahl der Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnungen ist beliebig. Die Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnungen können einen beliebigen Querschnitt aufweisen. Beispielsweise können die Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnungen kreisförmig sein. Die Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnungen können jedoch auch rechteckförmig sein. "In einer Reihe" bedeutet hierbei insbesondere, dass die Flüssigkeitsaustrittsöffnungen in der Hochrichtung betrachtet alle auf derselben Höhe platziert sind.The number of liquid outlet openings is arbitrary. The liquid outlet openings can have any cross section. For example, the liquid outlet openings can be circular. However, the liquid outlet openings can also be rectangular. “In a row” here means in particular that the liquid outlet openings are all placed at the same height when viewed in the vertical direction.
