Definitions

  • This utility model relates to a tub for a laundry washing machine with a drum of horizontal axis, the tub being entirely or partly of engineering polymer (filled or non-filled) and provided with a hub in which the drum shaft is rotatably supported.
  • the rotational movement of the drum which holds the laundry and is disposed in the tub which is designed to contain the wash liquid but does not participate in the drum rotation, is effected by providing in the rear part of the tub a hub which is generally welded to it and is machined to form seats for bearings supporting a shaft which at one end is connected to the drum and at the other, external to the tub, is connected to an electric motor by way of a pulley and a transmission belt.
  • the hub can be of steel when the tub is of enamelled sheet steel or stainless steel.
  • the tub is entirely or partly constructed of a filled or non-filled engineering polymer.
  • the hub is of die-cast aluminium which is machined at its ends to form the seats and abutments for the bearings which support the drum shaft. This hub is inserted into a mould in which it is covered by the engineering polymer which, in the same mould, forms either the rear wall of the tub or the entire tub.
  • the main object of the present invention is to provide a tub entirely or partly of engineering polymer (filled or non-filled) which allows a more economical construction and in which the hub is reliably and securely bonded to the engineering polymer so as to exclude any relative movement.
  • a tub entirely or partly of engineering polymer characterised essentially in that its hub comprises a tubular member peripherally containing through holes occupied by the engineering polymer which, on the inside of the tubular member, forms abutments for the rolling bearings inserted into said member.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates a laundry washing machine tub in which there is disposed a conventional laundry drum, not shown, connected to the end of a shaft, also not shown, which is supported in bearings 2, 3 mounted in a hub 4.
  • the hub is provided in the rear wall 5 of the tub. Either the entire tub or only the rear wall 5 is of thermoplastic engineering polymer, which can be filled for example with glass fibre, or unfilled.
  • the hub 4 comprises a metal tubular member 6 provided with a series of radial through holes 7 preferably distributed equidistantly along the perimeter of said tubular member 6.
  • the tubular member is covered externally by a sleeve 9 of the same engineering polymer which forms the rear wall 5.
  • the through holes 7 are occupied by the engineering polymer, which also extends on to the inner side of the tubular member 6 to form a ring 8 adhering to said inner side.
  • the ends 8a, 8b of the inner ring constitute a correct abutment for the bearings 2, 3 without the need for any machining subsequent to the injection moulding of the rear wall 5 or tub 1.
  • the metal member 6 can be formed from an extruded aluminium tube by cutting it to the required length and providing it with the holes 7 (for example four in number).
  • the member in question is inserted into a suitable mould associated with an injection machine for the engineering polymer.
  • the engineering polymer injected into the mould forms the rear wall 5 or the entire tub 1, and also the sleeve 9, and occupies the holes 7 to form either the ring 8 or the circular sectors 8c comprising the abutment surfaces 8a, 8b.
