Embodiment Construction

[0031] The operating device has, for example, a cover plate 10 in the form of an operating panel of, for example, an electronic household appliance. The cover plate 10 has a user side 10a facing the user (in figure 1 upper middle) and the back side 10b facing away from the user (in figure 1 bottom center), the user side corresponds to the outside of the control panel or the device, the rear side corresponds to the inside of the control panel or the device. The cover plate 10 is made, for example, of plastic or metal.

[0032] The cover plate 10 has an operating field 12 , which defines for the user a slide control that can be actuated by it. The operating field 12 comprises a plurality of operating segments 12 a to 12 f which are arranged along a (for example rectilinear, arcuate, circular, etc.) operating line. The actuating sections 12a to 12f are integrated into the cover plate 10 or are formed in one piece with the cover plate or are respectively embedded in the cover p...

Abstract

An operating device designed as a slide controller comprises: a cover plate (10), which has a user side (10a) facing the user, wherein the cover plate (10) has an operating area (12), the operating area There are a plurality of operation sections (12a to 12f) arranged along one operation line; a plurality of optical sensors, wherein each operation section in the plurality of operation sections (12a to 12f) is provided with the at least one transmitter (16a to 16f) of a plurality of optical sensors for emitting electromagnetic radiation and at least one receiver (18a to 18f) of said plurality of optical sensors for detecting electromagnetic radiation; and electronic control means (30 ) for analyzing measurement signals generated by said at least one receiver (18a to 18f) of said plurality of optical sensors. Here, a plurality of control sections (12a to 12f) of the control panel (12) of the cover panel (10) are each designed in such a way that the control sections can pass through the user side (10a) from the cover panel (10). ) at least partially elastically deforms and / or moves and causes the actuating section to at least partially reflect radiation emitted by a transmitter (16a to 16f) associated with the actuating section. The at least one receiver (18a to 18f) is arranged and / or designed in such a way that the at least one receiver can detect radiation reflected by the operating section (12a to 12f) in a spatially resolved manner, which is connected to the operating section The at least one receiver is matched, and the electronic control device (30) detects the manipulation of the operating section (12a to 12f) based on the detected position of the reflected radiation on the at least one receiver (18a to 18f) , the operating section matches the at least one receiver.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an operating device, in particular an operating device for electronic domestic appliances. Background technique [0002] Operating devices with touch- and / or proximity-sensitive operating elements generally have a rigid cover plate that delimits an operating area and is designed to be at least partially permeable for infrared or visible radiation in this operating area. of. The optical sensor contains at least one transmitter for emitting electromagnetic radiation and at least one receiver for detecting electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by the transmitter, propagates through the operating field and is placed on the cover by the operating element, for example the user. finger reflection on the user side of the board. Operating devices of a touch- and / or proximity-sensitive design designed as slide controls or sliders usually have a cover plate with a user side facing the user, wherein the cover plate has a cover plate...
