    摘要: A capacitive proximity control device (28) for a domestic washing machine (10) or other domestic electrical appliance is proposed. In some embodiments, the proximity s control device comprises two planar sensor electrodes (34, 36) arranged on a door (20) of the washing machine at a spatial distance from one another. An electronic assembly is connected to the two sensor electrodes, which electronic assembly is adapted to generate, in association with each of the two sensor electrodes, an electrical sensor signal which is representative of a change in a capacitance associated with the sensor electrode in question. By mutual correlation of the two sensor signals, the electronic assembly is able to determine a proximity operation of the control device. A shielding electrode can be arranged in the spatial region between the two sensor electrodes.

    摘要: A domestic cooling device has a cold chamber and a wall light arranged on a delimiting wall of the cold chamber for illuminating the cold chamber. The wall light includes at least one light source and a window region manufactured from a transparent material, through which the light generated by the wall light emerges into the cold chamber. There is a reflection surface, in particular having a diffusely reflecting action, which is arranged in front of the window region in the propagation path of at least a portion of the light radiation coming from the light source. At least a portion of the reflection surface is formed by the delimiting wall, in particular by an inner lining part of the cooling device. The reflection surface can be formed in a hollow in the inner lining part. The window region extends over at least a portion of the hollow.

    摘要: A luminaire for installation in an electrical household appliance, e.g. a washing machine, includes, in one embodiment, two light-emitting diodes mounted on a circuit board, an elongated luminaire housing having a light exit area, which is formed by a light-permeable piece of the housing wall, in an area of a first longitudinal end of the luminaire housing, and also a light-conducting body having a light-conducting tube which extends inside the luminaire housing and which conducts, towards the light exit area, light which is given off by the light-emitting diodes. In one embodiment, a metalizing layer provided on the inner peripheral face of the light-conducting tube rests, in heat-transmitting contact with one or more conductive traces, on the upper side of the circuit board. In addition to its light-conducting function, the light-conducting tube thus fulfils a function for discharging heat from the circuit board.

    摘要: A domestic oven includes a muffle which delimits a cooking chamber, and a lighting device for illuminating the cooking chamber. The muffle has in a muffle side wall a light outlet window into which a window element having a light outlet surface is fitted. The lighting device includes a light source which, when viewed normally to the muffle side wall, is arranged outside the contour of the light outlet window, a reflective surface with a diffuse reflecting property which is arranged behind the light outlet surface within the contour of the light outlet window and is irradiated with light from the light source, and a lens element with a collecting property which is arranged in the light path between the light source and the reflective surface. In some embodiments, the lens element is also arranged outside the contour of the light outlet window.
