Use this button to select the change of the 7 colors of the LCD, the order is: the initial color is red, red-orange-yellow-green-cyan-blue-purple, continue to press the "Rainbow" button, the LCD backlight color will show one of the 7 colors Alternately appearing between the scenes, press the button again, the color will return to the initial color red, and so on. The control panel has added a color selection button; although this invention makes the display screen have different colors to a certain extent, it cannot solve some problems. Obstacles that users cannot operate because they cannot recognize the text on the display screen

Embodiment approach 1

[0025] In order to meet the requirements of different users for the individualization of the display screen of the washing machine and improve the recognition of the function keys of the display screen, the present invention provides a method for setting the control panel of the washing machine that distinguishes the functional areas and states by color. The specific setting method is as follows: The control panel of the washing machine is divided into multiple functional areas according to the functional areas of the washing machine, and different colors are used as the basic display colors corresponding to different functional areas; in order to facilitate users to check the working stage of the washing machine, the functional areas in the running stage are highlighted or flashing display, the user can know which washing process the washing machine is running without going near the washing machine.

[0026] The functional area includes at least a program setting area and a pr...

Embodiment approach 2

[0033] In order to conveniently identify different functions of the washing machine, the present application also provides another solution. like figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a control panel, which is divided into multiple functional areas 201, and the functional areas at least include a program setting area 202 and a process display area 203. In order to distinguish different functional areas, different geometric shapes are used to The different functional areas of the washing machine are distinguished, such as washing-circular, rinsing-rectangle, dehydration-triangular, program and display-rhombic, and the identification of different functional areas of the washing machine through geometric shapes can be used alone or with the first embodiment The color distinction is used in conjunction, thereby avoiding the problem that color-blind users cannot operate the washing machine correctly.

Abstract

The invention discloses a control panel setting method for distinguishing functional areas and states through colors and a washing machine. A control panel of the washing machine is divided into a plurality of functional areas according to clothes washing functions, and different colors are adopted corresponding to the different functional areas and used as basis display colors. The different functions correspond to the different colors, so the recognizable degree of the functions of the washing machine is improved, a display screen of the washing machine can be colorful, the individuality of the washing machine is reflected, and users with different cultural levels and ages can conveniently operate the washing machine with the functional areas and the states distinguished through the colors. Meanwhile, in the program running process, which stage the program runs at can be displayed through brightness or flickering of the corresponding areas, so the users do not need to stand in front of the washing machine and can know which stage the clothes washing program runs at by observing which color is bright or flickers in the distance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of washing, in particular to a control panel setting method and a washing machine for distinguishing functional areas and states by color. Background technique [0002] Along with the raising of people's material level, washing machine makes people save a lot of time in daily laundry process as a kind of convenient and quick laundry tool. At the same time, people's aesthetic concepts are gradually increasing. The requirements for washing machines are not limited to functions, but also have high requirements for the appearance of washing machines and the visual effects brought by the display screen. Consumers also have high requirements for the operation of washing machines. Convenience and operational recognition put forward higher requirements. [0003] Ordinary washing machines are equipped with a panel, while high-end washing machines use a combination of a panel and a display screen or a separate display screen t...
