Laundry Appliance Provided with a Control-Panel Assembly

摘要

A laundry appliance (1) comprises a control-panel assembly (3, 30) having:—An outer shell (5) which is coupled to a casing of the laundry appliance and provides a user interface;—an internal printed circuit board (6) provided with one or more sensors; and—a protecting box (7) firmly attached to the printed circuit board (6) and at least partially interposed between the outer shell and the printed circuit board;—one or more spring detectors (18) which transmit to the one or more sensors a signal related to the capacitive variation that is generated when the user interface is touched, wherein the protecting box (7) has one or more head zones (11) compressing the one or more spring detectors (18) when the protecting box (7) is attached to the printed circuit board (6), the capacitive variation being sensed by the one or more spring detectors (18) through the one or more head zones (11).
