household appliance

Abstract

The invention relates to a household appliance comprising a housing with a receiving space which can be closed by means of a closing device, wherein the closing device is held in a closed position by a holding force, wherein at least one opening device is provided by means of which the closing device can be moved from the closed position to a first open position, wherein the opening device generates at least a second and / or third magnetic field, wherein, due to the second and / or third magnetic field, a movement of the closing device from the closed position to the first open position takes place.

Claims

[1] Household appliance (1) comprising a housing (2) with a receiving space (3) which can be closed by means of a closure device (4), wherein the closure device (4) is held in a closed position (5) by a holding force, characterized by that at least one opening device (6) is provided, by means of which the closure device (4) can be displaced from the closed position (5) into a first opening position (7), wherein the opening device (6) generates at least one second magnetic field and / or at least one third magnetic field, wherein due to the at least one second magnetic field and / or the at least one third magnetic field, a displacement of the closure device (4) from the closed position (5) into the first opening position (7) takes place. [2] Household appliance (1) according to claim 1 characterized bythat at least one holding device (8) is provided, wherein the holding device (8) comprises at least one first device (9) for generating at least one first magnetic field, wherein the at least one first magnetic field generates at least one first magnetic force, wherein the holding force comprises at least the at least one first magnetic force. [3] Household appliance (1) according to claim 1 or 2 characterized by that at least one hinge device (10) is provided, by means of which the closure device (4) is pivotably arranged on the housing (2), wherein the holding force comprises at least one mechanical force generated by the at least one hinge device (10). [4] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized bythat the at least one holding device (8) is arranged in or on the closure device (4) and the at least one opening device (6) is arranged in or on the housing (2) or the at least one holding device (8) is arranged in or on the housing (2) and the at least one opening device (6) is arranged in or on the closure device (4). [5] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized byin that the at least one opening device (6) comprises at least one second device (11) for generating the at least one second magnetic field, wherein the at least one second magnetic field and the at least one first magnetic field have an opposite polarity, wherein the repulsive force resulting from the opposite polarity causes the displacement of the closure device (4) into the first opening position (7), wherein the at least one second device (11) for generating the at least one second magnetic field comprises at least one magnetic coil. [6] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized by that the at least one first device (9) for generating the at least one first magnetic field comprises at least one permanent magnet which at least partially generates the at least one first magnetic field. [7] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized bythat the at least one first device (9) for generating the at least one first magnetic field comprises at least one magnetic coil which at least partially generates the at least one first magnetic field. [8] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized by that at least one ferromagnetic region (12) is provided, wherein the ferromagnetic region (12) is substantially opposite the holding device (8) in the closed position (5). [9] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized by in that the opening device (6) comprises a first magnetic actuator (13), wherein the first magnetic actuator generates the at least one third magnetic field when energized, whereby a first mechanical force is exerted on the closure device (4), so that the closure device (4) is displaced into the first opening position (7). [10] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized by that a second magnetic actuator (14) is provided which exerts a mechanical force on the closure device (4), said magnetic force being exerted upon reaching the first opening position (7), so that the closure device (4) is displaced from the first opening position (7) into the second opening position (15). [11] Household appliance (1) according to one of the preceding claims characterized bythat at least one sensor device (16) is provided, by means of which a user input of a user can be detected, wherein the sensor device (16) comprises at least one sensor selected from: a force sensor, a touch sensor, a capacitive sensor, an optical sensor, an air flow sensor, a temperature sensor, an ultrasonic distance sensor, an electromagnetic sensor such as lidar or radar, wherein the at least one sensor device (16) defines an active area in which a detection takes place. [12] Household appliance (1) according to claim 10 characterized by that a control device (17) is provided which controls the opening device (6) according to the sensor data of the at least one sensor device (16).
