Abstract
Description
- The present invention refers to a front load washing machine with turnable washing tub.
- It is generally known that in modern washing machines with front load a drum containing the laundry to be washed is situated in a central position of the washing machine and it has an opening toward the front of the machine. This drum is turningly mounted in a container, called washing tub, that is destined to contain the washing water and equipped with suspension elements for its anchorage that allow it to remain suspended inside the cabinet of the washing machine.
- The loading of the drum obliges the operator to continuous and sudden bending over in order to take the laundry to be washed from the top plane surface of the washing machine and its positioning inside the drum that is located in a low position.
- In order to facilitate the loading of laundry the washing tub of a washing machine has been provided with an upper opening instead of the frontal one thus building top load washing machines that imply complications in the building of the washing machine.
- In view of the state of the art described, object of the present invention is to realise a front load washing machine that make the loading of the washing tub with the laundry to be washed easier.
- According to the present invention, such object has been attained by means of a front load washing machine comprising a cabinet and a washing tub suspended inside said cabinet by means of suspension means, said washing tub being provided with a front load opening and turningly housing a drum to contain the laundry to be washed that is open frontally and said cabinet comprising a front wall with a central opening in order to introduce said laundry to be washed into said drum, characterized in that said suspension means are slidingly coupled to guides that are longitudinally fixed to the bottom plane surface and to the top plane surface of said cabinet in order to allow an inclination of said washing tub by a given angle as regards a vertical plane parallel to said front wall and said front wall of the cabinet is at least partially displaceable in a central part comprising said opening in order to allow said central part and said opening to follow the inclination of said washing tub.
- Owing to the present invention it is possible realise a front load washing machine that by rotation of the washing tub allows an inclination of the washing tub such as to make the loading of the same with the laundry to be washed easier.
- The characteristics and the advantages of the present invention will be made evident by the following detailed description of some possible embodiment thereof, that are illustrated as non limiting examples in the enclosed drawings, in which:

-
- With reference to the attached figures, by 1 a washing machine is globally indicated comprising a
cabinet 54 and awashing tub 51 that is centrally suspended inside thecabinet 54 by means of suspension means. Thewashing tub 51 contains acylindrical drum 2, with axis perpendicular to theback wall 29 of thecabinet 54, destined to contain the laundry to be washed, which is turningly mounted in the same tub. Thetub 51 has an opening 24 in itsfore part 57 in correspondence of ananalogous opening 56 of thecylindrical drum 2, that is connected with the front of thecabinet 54 by means of around gasket 23. This opening 57 is closed by around door 22 comprising awindow 3. - A first embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 and 2 where the
washing tub 51 is suspended inside thecabinet 54 by means of pairs of bottom and top suspension means 53 and 52. In particular the top suspension means 52 are made up, each one, of ahook 21 to which thetub 51 is anchored and that is connected at its upper end with ahelicoidal spring 20 that is in turn connected with a firstsliding shoe 19 that is frees to slide 18 on a longitudinal guide whose ends, perpendicular to the same guide, are connected with thetop plane surface 28 of thecabinet 54. The bottom suspension means 53 are spring shock absorbers and comprise a U-shapespring 14 that at its lower end is connected with a second slidingshoe 13 that is capable to slide on alongitudinal guide 10 whose ends are connected, one that is perpendicular to the same guide, with thebottom plane 11 of thecabinet 54 and the other one with apart 9 of thefront wall 61 of thecabinet 54. Arubber pad 12 is associated with thesliding shoe 13 between the lower end of thespring 14 and theguide 10. The upper end of thespring 14 has acentral opening 58 to the edge of which twocurved parts 15 are connected in such a way that acylindrical body 16 passing through said opening 58 is free to rotate by a certain angle. Saidcylindrical body 16 is fixed in 17 to thewashing tub 51. - The
front wall 61 of thecabinet 54 comprises a upperrigid flange 9 and a lowerrigid flange 55, and an articulatedpanel 60 that is made up ofparts first part 25 is connected through onearticulation joint 26 with theflange 9 and it contains around gasket 23. Thesecond part 6 is connected with thepart 25 by means of an articulation joint 7 and it has a lower portion 8 that is normally set next to thelower flange 55. - When opening the
door 22 that is fixed in 50 to the articulatedpanel 60, by exerting a pulling force an operator allows the inclination of thewashing tub 51 by a certain angle as regards a vertical plane parallel to thefront wall 61, as shown in Figure 2. The firstsliding shoe 19 slides toward the back end of theguide 18 while the secondsliding shoe 13 slides toward the lower end of theguide 10 thus determining the counter-clockwise rotation of thecylindrical body 16 passing through theopening 58. In addition there is a counter-clockwise rotation of thefirst part 25 of the articulatedpanel 60 on itsarticulation joints 26 and clockwise for thesecond part 6 on the articulation joints 7 and a lifting of thesame part 6 as regards thelower flange 55. This inclined position of thewashing tub 51 and therefore of thedrum 2 allows an easier loading of the same for the quantity of laundry to be washed. It is also possible to provide thewashing tub 51 with a balance piston system with counteracting mechanical load and springs or other elastic means, in order to assist the inclination movement of the tub and therefore to reduce the effort on behalf of the operator. - A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 3-6 where the
washing tub 51 is suspended inside thecabinet 54 by means of two pairs of suspension means 40. Said suspension means 40 consist in telescopic shock absorbers made up of an internalcylindrical part 35 that is capable to slide in thepart 33 and anchored to thetub 51 by means of aconnection 34. Thesliding shoe 32 of an upper pair of the shock absorbers 40 slides on curvedlongitudinal guides 31 having perpendicular ends connected with thetop surface 28 of thecabinet 54 while thesliding shoe 32 of the other lower pair of shock absorbers slide on longitudinalcurved guides 36 having perpendicular ends that are connected with thebottom plane 11 of thecabinet 54. - The
front wall 61 of thecabinet 54 comprises anupper flange 48 that extends toward the interior of the washing machine with acurved portion 38, alower flange 46 ending with a curved upper end, and aturnable panel 47. The latter is made up of apart 37 that contains theround gasket 23 and that has a lowercurved portion 41 and a perpendicularupper portion 39. Thecurved portion 41 is hooked to the slidingshoes 32 by means offorks 90. Thepanel 47 is fixedly mounted with twoside tabs 42 that are turningly hinged in 45 to thesides walls cabinet 54 in such a way so as to make thepanel 47 turnable as regards a cross axis passing through thepins 44, as it is better visible in Figure 6. - With the
washing tub 51 in the rest position illustrated in Figure 3, when opening thedoor 22 that is connected with theturnable panel 47, by exerting a pulling force an operator allows the counter-clockwise rotation of thepanel 47 and as a consequence the inclination of thewashing tub 51 by acertain angle 61 with respect to a vertical plane parallel to the front wall, as shown in Figure 4. Thepart 37 of thepanel 47 rotates in counter-clockwise direction and its lower and upper 39portions 41 respectively slide on the upper end of theflange 46 and on the curved portion of theflange 48. Thesliding shoe 32 of the upper pair ofshock absorbers 40 slide up to the back end of theguides 31 while thesliding shoe 32 of the lower pair ofshock absorbers 40 slide up to the fore end of theguides 36. Theforks 90 allow a better stability of theturnable frame 47 during its rotation. The greater inclination of thewashing tub 51 of this embodiment as compared with the one described above allows an easier loading of thedrum 2 for the quantity of laundry to be washed. - In Figure 7 there is shown a
movement device 100 for theturnable frame 47 as a possible variation to the manual rotation of the same. Saiddevice 100 is made up ofextensions 101 of theside tabs 42 of theturnable frame 47 that are connected with a pair oflevers 102 that can be moved vertically by means of amotor 103 for example an electric type. Position and stop sensors are provided, not visible in figure, that are controlled externally or automatically and an external control for the starting of themotor 103. - In normal washing or centrifugal conditions, in all the embodiments of the above described invention, the
washing tub 51 of the washing machine 1 must be positioned with the axis of thewashing tub 2 in a position perpendicular to theback wall 29 of thecabinet 54, as in Figures 1 and 3.
