Definitions

  • This invention relates to a washer/dryer wherein means are provided to prevent the damage that may occur during transportation.
  • the drum where laundry to be washed moves inside a washing tank which is connected to the main body by dampers in order to balance the loads that are created during washing/drying processes.
  • a washing tank which is connected to the main body by dampers in order to balance the loads that are created during washing/drying processes.
  • the washing tank To prevent the washing tank from hitting the interior wall of the body and pushing the dampers while swinging during transportation, it is temporarily fixed to the main body as to be detached after transportation.
  • the forces acting on the item transported are larger than usual in which case the parts that are used to fix the washing tank to the main body may also damage the washer/dryer, as an example the bolts used to fix the washing tank to the body may cause damage in the tank by tearing off the region around the hole of the bolt.
  • connection mechanisms which also oppose and dampen the forces from various directions, are utilized; however, to be able to utilize them, parts such as a carrying beam should be added to the machine and as a result this application may be highly costly considering that it would be used just for transportation.
  • German Patent Document DE19703396 a description is given of a transportation safety system connected to the washing tank of a washing machine which consists of a box-shaped insert wrapped with an elastic strip embedded to the rear wall of the machine and a mounting bolt inside a plastic sleeve fixed to the insert.
  • DE 102 50 494 C1 ans DE 76 27 792 U1 disclose each a washing machine with a transportation safety system.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer/dryer with a low-cost fixing mechanism wherein means are provided to prevent the damage that may occur during transportation.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises a drum (3) where laundry to be washed is placed, a washing tank (4) in which the drum (3) moves, a body (2) where the washing tank (4) is fastened and a fixing mechanism (5) used to fasten the washing tank (4) to the body (2).
  • the fixing mechanism (5) comprises a bolt (6) connecting the body (2) and the washing tank (4) to each other and carrying the loads created as a result the swinging motion of the washing tank (4), a rigid support (7) surrounding the bolt (6) which maintains the necessary distance between the washing tank (4) and the body (2) during fastening, an adapter (8) functioning as a damper which provides the connection between the bolt (6) and the body (2) and which is stretched by the pushing motion of the rigid support (7) as the bolt (6) is tightened and, a bush (9) whereby the rigid support (7) is pushed to rest the washing tank (4).
  • the body (2) comprises a fixing hole (10) where the fixing mechanism (5) fits by means of an adapter (8) by passing therethrough, one or more safety holes (12) where the fixing mechanism (5) fits after disengaging from the fixing hole (10) as a result of the action of the force which pushes the fixing mechanism (5) vertically down and, which is transmitted from the washing tank (4) to the fixing mechanism (5) in order to prevent the bolt (6) from causing damage at the region of the washing tank (4) where it is connected to as a consequence of the effect of the crash when the washer/dryer (1) is rapidly put down or falls down during transportation and, which take over the function of the fixing hole (10) after the crash and, one or more passageways (11) between the fixing hole (10) and the safety hole (12) where the adapter (8) rests on while the fixing mechanism (5) changes position from the fixing hole (10) to the safety hole (12) during the crash and, the said adapter passes therethrough after exceeding a certain limiting crash force.
  • the washing tank (4) is attached to the body (2) by means of the fixing mechanism (5) fitting to the fixing hole (10) and thereby, it is ensured that there will not be a swinging motion of the washing tank (4) that is mounted to the washer/dryer (1).
  • the bolt (6) of the fixing mechanism (5) is forced to tear off the region of the washing tank (4) where it is attached, while the fixing mechanism (5) is pushed downward by the washing tank (4) which is fastened to the body (2) by the said mechanism. If the crash force exceeds a certain limit, the elastic adapter (8) fits to the safety hole (12) by passing through the passageway (11) located under the fixing hole (10), as a result of the increase in the force pushing the fixing mechanism (5) downward and thereby, it is ensured that the bolt (6) will not tear off the region of the washing tank (4) where it is attached to.
  • the width of the passageway (11) is determined with respect to the predicted crashes with different magnitudes which may occur during transportation and the edges that are in contact with the adapter (8) can be manufactured in an elastic texture.
  • the fixing mechanism (5) changes position by disengaging from the fixing hole (10) and thereby, the bolt (6) does not tear off the region of the washing tank (4) where it is attached to.

Claims (2)

  1. Wasch-/Trockenmaschine (1), umfassend:
    - eine Trommel (3), in die zu waschende Wäsche gegeben wird,
    - einen Waschbehälter (4), in dem sich die Trommel (3) bewegt,
    - einen Fixierungsmechanismus (5), mit dem der Waschbehälter (4) befestigt ist,
    - ein Gehäuse (2), das eine Befestigungsöffnung (10) umfasst, die den Waschbehälter (4) befestigt, wobei der Fixierungsmechanismus (5) in die Öffnung mittels eines durch diese hindurch tretenden Adapters (8) eingesetzt ist,
    und dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Gehäuse (2) ferner eine oder mehrere Sicherheitsöffnungen (12) umfasst, in die der Fixierungsmechanismus (5) eintritt, nachdem er sich aus der Fixierungsöffnung (10) aufgrund einer Krafteinwirkung gelöst hat, die den Fixierungsmechanismus (5) vertikal nach unten drückt und vom Waschbehälter (4) auf den Fixierungsmechanismus (5) ausgeübt wird, um zu verhindern, dass die Schraube (6) bei einem Stoß aufgrund eines plötzlichen Abstellens oder Herunterfallens der Wasch-/Trockenmaschine (1) während des Transports den Waschbehälter (4) in dem Bereich beschädigt, in dem er verbunden ist, und die nach dem Herabfallen die Funktion der Fixierungsöffnung (10) übernehmen.
  2. Wasch-/Trockenmaschine (1) nach Anspruch 1, dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Gehäuse (2) einen oder mehrere Durchlässe (11) zwischen der Fixierungsöffnung (10) und der Sicherheitsöffnung (12) umfasst, auf denen der Adapter (8) ruht, während der Fixierungsmechanismus (5) während des Stoßes seine Position aus der Befestigungsöffnung (10) hin zur Sicherheitsöffnung (12) verändert, wobei der Adapter durch sie hindurch tritt, wenn eine bestimmte Grenzstoßkraft überschritten wird.
