摘要

A domestic appliance includes a functional action unit which has at least one movably arranged member, and a generator configured to generate electric energy at the location of the functional action unit. The generator is associated with the movably arranged member, and employs movement of this member in a process of generating electric energy. The generator includes a permanent magnet and an electric coil, where the magnet may be mounted on the movably arranged member. By having the generator at a location inside the functional action unit, it is possible to have one or more electric components at a location inside this unit without the need for external electric connections.
