Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a discharge unit for a washing machine, in particular for a laundry washing-machine or dishwasher.
  • Traditional washing-machines or dishwashers are commonly provided with a unit for the discharge of the washing water; such unit comprises a tubular duct in flow connection with the tank of the washing-machine or dishwasher, a filter for the filtering of the washing water coming from the tank and a discharge pump provided with a delivery pipe in order to discharge the filtered washing water outside.
  • a certain amount of washing water contained in the discharge pipe falls back inside the tank containing the filter and tends to outflow through the mouth of the filter during the operation of cleaning or substitution of the same thus forcing the user to recuperate it with fortune means.
  • a valve is generally used that is capable to open up during the discharge of the washing water to the outside and to close up when such operation of discharge ends thus preventing the back-flow water from the pipe to invade the tank containing the filter.
  • Such valve called non-return valve, is traditionally positioned inside the container of the discharge pump in proximity of the discharge pipe.
  • AT 247274 B discloses a discharge unit for a washing machine 1 provided with a washing tank 2.
  • the unit comprises a filter container 12 connected with said tank and in which a filter 17 for the filtering of the washing water coming from said tank is housed.
  • the filter container 12 is integral with a discharge pump container 10 provided with an impeller 11 for the conveying of the filtered washing water towards a discharge duct 26; between said filter and said impeller a wall 21 is located that is provided with a opening 22.
  • DE 9406791 U discloses a non-return valve 10 directly positioned at the inlet 6 of the discharge pump 2-5 in order to prevent back-flow from the discharge pipe into the washing machine or dishwasher.
  • scope of the present invention is to present a discharge unit for washing machine in which the non-return valve is positioned in a position that is more easily reachable for the intervention on it or its substitution.
  • FIG. 3 Another discharge unit for a washing machine, which is not within the scope of this invention as claimed, is illustrated in figures 3 and 4 :
  • Such unit comprises a container 1 for a mushroom shaped filter 2 facing a vertical wall 4 mounted inside the container 1 and provided with a central hole 5.
  • Said container 1 is coupled on top, in the part of container antecedent the wall 4, to a tubular duct 6 that is in flow connection with a washing tank not visible in figures.
  • the same container 1 is fixedly mounted to a container 100 of an impeller 9 of a discharge pump that is laterally provided with an opening 7 for the connection with a discharge pipe not visible in the figures.
  • another centrally pierced vertical wall 8 and arranged between the vertical wall 4 and the opening 7 is also provided.
  • a non-return valve 10 generally made of rubber is arranged which comprises a cone 11 connected at its apex to a round plate 12 similar to a wheel with round rim 14 and openings 16 delimited by appropriate spokes.
  • the valve 10 is free to move only horizontally and it is positioned so that the plate 12 gets in abutment with the edge of the hole 5 of the wall 4 in its surface facing the filter 2 and the cone 11 is arranged with its base facing the wall 8.
  • the same washing water flows through the duct 6 inside the container 1 and it is filtered by the filter 2.
  • the flow of the washing water thrusts the plate 12 of the valve 10 in abutment with the wall 4, as visible in Figure 1; in that way the washing water passes through the openings 16 and the passage area delimited by the edge of the hole 5 of the wall 4 and by the side surface of the cone 11 of the valve 10 and after having passed through the hole of the wall 9 is lead toward the opening 7 of the discharge pipe.
  • the back-flow water from the discharge pipe thrusts the cone 11 of the valve 10 toward the wall 4; in such a way the valve 10 is moved towards the left, the plate 12 is not any more in abutment with the wall 4 while the side surface of the cone 11 gets in abutment with the edge of the hole 5 of the wall 4 thus closing the passage for the back-flow water from the discharge pipe, as visible in Figure 2.
  • the conical shape of the part 11 of the non-return valve 10 allows the closing of the hole 5 of the wall 4 with any position of the valve 10 at the moment of the water back flow from the discharge pipe; the shape of the plate 12 allows to leave the passage of the washing water free when the same must be sucked by the impeller 9 of the discharge pump.
  • the vertical wall 4 is provided with projections 3 that allow a simple removal from the container 1 by means of action of holding with pincers after the extraction of the filter 2.
  • the mushroom filter 2 is located at a preestablished distance from the wall 4, for instance comprised between 3ö4mm.
  • the filter 2 can be made of a ring structure or an appropriately pierced tubular structure.
  • FIG. 3 Another discharge unit for a washing machine, which is not within the scope of the claimed invention, provides for the use of a different type of non-return valve 20 shown in Figures 3 and 4.
  • valve 20 made of rubber, is positioned in the part of container 1 comprised between the walls 4 and 8 and it comprises a half sphere shaped plate 21 attached to an upper appendix 30 of the wall 4 of the container 1 as a pendulum by means of a rubber border 22.
  • the plate 21 has the hollow part facing the wall 8 while its spherical surface faces towards the wall 4 so as to be able to close the hole 5.
  • the back-flow water from the discharge pipe thrusts the plate 21 of the valve 20 towards the wall 4; in such a way the plate 21 goes in abutment with the edge of the hole 5 of the wall 4 thus closing the passage for the back-flow water from the discharge pipe, as visible in Figure 4.
