Abstract
A drum of a washing machine comprising a cylindrical band, at least two rows of openings defined on the cylindrical band, arranged along a central line between both of them, and at least a blade with a blade base from which at least two corresponding rows of couplings extend, which are fittable into said openings to fasten the blade to the cylindrical band in an interior of said drum.
Description
- The present invention relates to a drum of a washing machine for a washing machine, dryer or the like, of the drum type, comprising a cylindrical band, at least two rows of openings defined on the cylindrical band, arranged along a central line between both of them, and at least a blade with a blade base from which at least two corresponding rows of couplings extend, which are fittable into said openings to fasten the blade to the cylindrical band in an interior of said drum.
- The use of a washing machine of the rotating-drum type is generally known. In these machines it is usual to utilize a number of, for example three or four, agitating blades projected inwards in the interior of the drum so as to make articles being washed spin during the washing and rinsing operations. Patent GB1161219 illustrates a plastic blade with a substantially triangular cross section with closed ends in order to have a U-form fixed to the drum interior by means of projections, which extend from the blade edge and are held in two rows of cooperating L-slots on the drum wall. The projections are inserted into a wider zone of the L-slot and slide over a narrower zone. In order to interlock them, the blade is screwed on the drum band. A problem of this arrangement of projections consists in the fact that it does not have an immediate interlock between the blade and the drum available and requires an additional joint to fix it. When securing the blade to the cylindrical wall of the drum by means of the projections arranged at the tub edges which fit into the cooperating L-slots on the wall, another fastening element such as a screw will obviously be necessary, as it is described in the prior art, to keep the blade in position after fitting it onto the wall since the projections could just get out of the slots.
- Patent application ES—2276627_A1 shows a drum of a washing machine comprising a cylindrical band, and at least a blade fastened to the cylindrical band in the interior of said drum by means of two corresponding rows of elastic couplings, which extend from the blade and are held in receptacles at the cylindrical band of the drum. The receptacles have a protuberance extending into said receptacle so as to slide said elastic couplings by flexing them, and a fastening part to secure said couplings. This type of blade coupling continues needing an additional fastening means, since the couplings still have clearance and may vibrate producing noise if they are not additionally fastened to the band when the receptacle flexes the couplings and a second zone of the receptacle is entered.
- As a consequence of this, it is the object of the present invention to offer an improved drum of a washing machine in which the openings may secure and retain the blade couplings in position respectively, even without the aid of the fastening elements such as fixing screws, rivets, etc.
- Another object of the present invention is to offer a drum of a washing machine with blades with no potential relative movement between them and the drum to reduce the noise made by this movement.
- According to the present invention, the above-mentioned objects are achieved with an improved drum of a washing machine comprising a cylindrical band, at least two rows of openings defined on the cylindrical band, arranged along a central line between both of them, and at least a blade with a blade base from which at least two corresponding rows of couplings extend, which are fittable into said openings to fasten the blade to the cylindrical band in an interior of said drum, wherein at least one opening has a cut-out extending outwards from the opening, and at least one coupling has a rigid element joint to the blade base at a first end and an elastic retaining element at the rigid element fittable into the cut-out in the position of blade mounted on the drum.
- According to other characteristics of the present invention, at least one coupling has at least one flap at a second end of the rigid element contactable with a surface of an exterior of the cylindrical band in a position of blade mounted on the drum.
- The central line between both rows is substantially parallel to the drum rotation axis.
- The opening has a bigger area which is big enough to be crossable by the coupling in a position of dismounted blade, and a smaller area where the cut-out is located, which is big enough to surround the first end of the rigid element contacting it in the position of blade mounted on the drum.
- The cut-out includes a cross section substantially of a triangle and a rectangle.
- The blade also comprises a hollow body opened towards the band at the blade base and a plurality of inner ribs located inside the body.
- At least one screw hole is defined at one end of one of said ribs, wherein a screw is housable in a corresponding opening defined on said cylindrical band in case any coupling breaks and the blade needs to be secured.
- Additionally, a tab is provided extending inwards from said cylindrical band and is fittable with one of the ribs, additionally securing thereby the blade to the drum in its longitudinal movement.
- Furthermore, a plurality of outlets is defined on a top side of the blade to obtain a rain effect in the washing process.
- The total length of the blade is smaller than a distance between two circular end walls of the drum so that it may be mounted by displacing it in the central line direction from the non-mounted position to the mounted position.
- The blade is made of plastic, what simplifies and makes its manufacture cheaper.
- When the blade is mounted on the drum, the blade couplings are inserted through the openings' bigger area in a non-mounted position and are slid towards the opening's smaller area by flexing the elastic retaining element until this fits into the cut-out without the need for the coupling to flex. The coupling's connection body may be rigid and strong from its base up to its end, so that it does not break and has no clearance in the opening's smaller area to prevent the blade from vibrating and so that they are fastened firmly at the openings' fastening part respectively. With this configuration of blade couplings, it is avoided that the blade moves backwards or dismounts. The additional flap may be arranged at a coupling with o without an elastic retaining element.

FIG. 1 , awashing machine drum 1 for a washing machine, dryer or the like, of the drum type comprises acylindrical band 2 and at least ablade 3 fixed in an interior of thedrum 1. At least two rows ofopenings 4 are defined on saidband 2 to receive correspondingly two rows ofcouplings 5 which extend from theblade 3. If the blade is of a small size in the form of a tooth, it may have even only acoupling 5 that fits into an opening. In the present embodiment,blade 3 is long with two rows of couplings, one on each side of acentral line 6 parallel to the rotation axis ofdrum 1, the same number of openings being defined on both sides of thecentral line 6, although this is not necessary. Alternatively, thecentral line 6 may not be parallel to the drum rotation axis, whereby a different number of openings may be defined on both sides of thecentral line 6 provided that theopenings 4 defined on theband 2 comply with the requisites regarding mechanical property to fasten theblade 3 to theband 2 reliably. -
FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a part of the blade where the coupling is located. On theblade base 12 which is closest to the drum in mounting position I (FIG. 4 ), thecouplings 5, which have arigid axis 52, project from the one end up to their other end, the latter ending in aflap 53 which contacts the outer face of the drum band in the blade's mounted position II (FIG. 4 ). Anelastic retaining element 51, which may be bent by applying a force, projects from the coupling'srigid part 52. -
FIG. 3 shows a side view of a coupling, wherein you may observe the slot between thecoupling flap 53 and theblade base 12 where the drum band is introduced. - With reference to
FIG. 4 , each one of theopenings 4 also comprises a cut-out 7 projecting outwards at each one of theopenings 4, dividing each one of theopenings 4 into abigger area 41 which is big enough to be crossable by thecoupling 5 in a position of dismounted blade II, and asmaller area 42 where the cut-out 7 is located, which is big enough to surround the first end of therigid element 52 ofcoupling 5 contacting it in the position of blade mounted on the drum I. The opening edge forms at its bigger area a slope ending in the cut-out 7 to facilitate that theelastic retaining element 51 bends until it is inserted in the cut-out. Said cut-out 7 includes a cross section of a triangle and a rectangle which follows the form of theelastic retaining element 51 and where, in a mounted position II, theelastic retaining element 51 of thecoupling 5 fits in. - As it is shown in
FIG. 1 ,blade 3 also comprises ahollow body 10 opened towards thecylindrical band 2 at the zone where theblade 3 is fastened, a plurality of parallelinner ribs 11 located in thehollow body 10 to increase the rigidity ofblade 3 and an end of eachinner rib 11 having ablade base 12 which extends from an interior ofblade 3. When theblade 3 is mounted on thedrum 1, theopenings 4 will be covered with theblade base 12 respectively. Preferably, at least onescrew hole 13 is arranged at one end opposed to theblade base 12 of theinner ribs 11 to house a fixing element, such as a screw, in acorresponding opening 16 of thecylindrical band 2 with the aim of obtaining a better fixation ofblade 3 on thecylindrical band 2 in case any coupling breaks due to its use. Furthermore, at least onetab 14 extends inwards along one of both rows ofopenings 4 to fit with one of theinner ribs 11 and preventblade 3 from moving backwards once mounted so as to reinforce the joint, should this be necessary. - Furthermore, in order to obtain the so-called “rain effect”, meaning that, after having been led upwards by the
blade 3, the water falls in a shower manner in an improved way so as to wet the washed articles, a plurality ofoutlets 15 is arranged on atop side 17 ofblade 3, as it is shown inFIG. 5 . - Furthermore, as it is shown in
