Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a front load washing machine with turnable washing tub.
  • washing tub a container 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.
  • 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.
  • DE-A-2 037 351 discloses a front-load washing machine wherein the loading opening is swivelly mounted.
  • FR-A-2 736 942 discloses a front-load washing machine with an inclined front wall and loading opening.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • a washing machine comprising a cabinet 54 and a washing tub 51 that is centrally suspended inside the cabinet 54 by means of suspension means.
  • the washing tub 51 contains a cylindrical drum 2, with axis perpendicular to the back wall 29 of the cabinet 54, destined to contain the laundry to be washed, which is turningly mounted in the same tub.
  • the tub 51 has an opening 57 in its fore part 24 in correspondence of an analogous opening 56 of the cylindrical drum 2, that is connected with the front of the cabinet 54 by means of a round gasket 23. This opening 57 is closed by a round door 22 comprising a window 3.
  • FIG. 1 and 2 A first embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 1 and 2 where the washing tub 51 is suspended inside the cabinet 54 by means of pairs of bottom and top suspension means 53 and 52.
  • the top suspension means 52 are made up, each one, of a hook 21 to which the tub 51 is anchored and that is connected at its upper end with a helicoidal spring 20 that is in turn connected with a first sliding shoe 19 that is free to slide 18 on a longitudinal guide whose ends, perpendicular to the same guide, are connected with the top plane surface 28 of the cabinet 54.
  • the bottom suspension means 53 are spring shock absorbers and comprise a U-shape spring 14 that at its lower end is connected with a second sliding shoe 13 that is capable to slide on a longitudinal guide 10 whose ends are connected, one that is perpendicular to the same guide, with the bottom plane 11 of the cabinet 54 and the other one with a part 55 of the front wall 61 of the cabinet 54.
  • a rubber pad 12 is associated with the sliding shoe 13 between the lower end of the spring 14 and the guide 10.
  • the upper end of the spring 14 has a central opening 58 to the edge of which two curved parts 15 are connected in such a way that a cylindrical body 16 passing through said opening 58 is free to rotate by a certain angle. Said cylindrical body 16 is fixed in 17 to the washing tub 51.
  • the front wall 61 of the cabinet 54 comprises a upper rigid flange 9 and a lower rigid flange 55, and an articulated panel 60 that is made up of parts 6, 25.
  • the first part 25 is connected through one articulation joint 26 with the flange 9 and it contains a round gasket 23.
  • the second part 6 is connected with the part 25 by means of an articulation joint 7 and it has a lower portion 8 that is normally set next to the lower flange 55.
  • This inclined position of the washing tub 51 and therefore of the drum 2 allows an easier loading of the same for the quantity of laundry to be washed. It is also possible to provide the washing 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.
  • FIG. 3-6 A second embodiment of the present invention is shown in Figures 3-6 where the washing tub 51 is suspended inside the cabinet 54 by means of two pairs of suspension means 40.
  • Said suspension means 40 consist in telescopic shock absorbers made up of an internal cylindrical part 35 that is capable to slide in the part 33 and anchored to the tub 51 by means of a connection 34.
  • the sliding shoe 32 of an upper pair of the shock absorbers 40 slides on curved longitudinal guides 31 having perpendicular ends connected with the top surface 28 of the cabinet 54 while the sliding shoe 32 of the other lower pair of shock absorbers slide on longitudinal curved guides 36 having perpendicular ends that are connected with the bottom plane 11 of the cabinet 54.
  • the front wall 61 of the cabinet 54 comprises an upper flange 48 that extends toward the interior of the washing machine with a curved portion 38, a lower flange 46 ending with a curved upper end, and a turnable panel 47.
  • the latter is made up of a part 37 that contains the round gasket 23 and that has a lower curved portion 41 and a perpendicular upper portion 39.
  • the curved portion 41 is hooked to the sliding shoes 32 by means of forks 90.
  • the panel 47 is fixedly mounted with two side tabs 42 that are turningly hinged in 45 to the sides walls 49 and 59 of the cabinet 54 in such a way so as to make the panel 47 turnable as regards a cross axis passing through the pins 44, as it is better visible in Figure 6.
  • FIG. 7 there is shown a movement device 100 for the turnable panel 47 as a possible variation to the manual rotation of the same.
  • Said device 100 is made up of extensions 101 of the side tabs 42 of the turnable panel 47 that are connected with a pair of levers 102 that can be moved vertically by means of a motor 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 the motor 103.
  • the washing tub 51 of the washing machine 1 must be positioned with the axis of the washing tub 2 in a position perpendicular to the back wall 29 of the cabinet 54, as in Figures 1 and 3.
