Definitions
- the present invention relates to a drum adapted to be rotatably mounted in a washing machine or washer-dryer, said drum having a cylindrical wall provided with perforations and with a plurality of bulges.
- a drum of this kind is shown in EP-A-1028189 in which the bulges or raised sections are oriented towards the interior of the drum.
- the perforations or openings are provided in indentations between the bulges.
- DE-A-4437986 discloses a method to form a cylindrical structure with bulges in form of different polygons. Bulges having a square pattern are disclosed, but no detail is given as far as the perforations and bulge shape are concerned.
- EP-A-935687 discloses a drum for washing machines in which bulges are still oriented towards the interior of the drum, and in which perforations are provided on the edge contours of the bulges.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a drum of the type mentioned above which increases the gentleness of laundry treatment in high spin speed drums and in which the stiffness of the drum basket is increased.
- One of the main features of the present invention is to provide bulges which are oriented towards the exterior of the drum and in which the perforations are centred within the bulges.
- each bulge is punched like a frustum of pyramid from the inside of the drum, and each perforation or hole is in the centre of each punch.
- the pyramid-shape bulges are arranged in a rows/columns matrix, in which the position of a column of bulges to the next column of adjacent bulges is offset of 1/3 of the distance between two adjacent rows, which is also the pitch between bulges.
- a particular advantage of the drum according to the invention is the possibility to change the distance of one row of pyramid-shaped bulges to the next one without reducing distance of punched areas. Flat space between bulges will not increase by changing offset. Moerover, changing the offset will not change the shape of the bulges.
- the bulges are shaped in order to avoid substantially flat area between bulges so that water drops will be immediately on an inclined/deformed surface and then driven towards perforations due to the centrifugal force and funnel-shaped bulges.
- Another important advantage of the present invention is the increase of drum stiffness in bending, which is around 25% if compared to known drums of washing machines.
- a drum 10 of a washing machine comprises a cylindrical metal wall 12 closed at one end by a substantially flat rear wall (not shown) and presenting, on its other end, an opening 14 for loading/unloading laundry (the opening 14 being aligned with a door - not shown - of the washing machine).
- the drum shown in figure 1 is for the mounting thereof in the tub of a front loading washing machine, nevertheless the drum can have two opposite end walls and it can be used in a top loading washer as well (in this latter a closable opening for loading/unloading laundry being provided in the cylindrical wall of the drum).
- the wall 12 of the drum 10 is provided with a plurality of bulges 16 arranged in a sort of row-column matrix as shown in figures 1 and 2.
- the columns of the matrix, indicated with reference Y, are all parallel among them and to the rotational axis of the drum 10 as well, indicated with reference R.
- each column Y is offset 1/3 of the pitch P between each bulge 16.
- Such offset is indicated with reference K in figure 2. Due to this offset K of adjacent columns of the matrix, it is not possible to identify parallel rows of the matrix, rather “irregular" rows of the matrix of bulges.
- the applicant has tested this arrangement with others and it has been considered as the preferred one in term either of drum stiffness or gentle treatment of laundry during washing. Nevertheless also a regular matrix pattern of the bulges, or an offset K of different value (for instance a 1 ⁇ 2 offset) offers many technical advantages compared to the prior art and has to be considered within the scope of the present invention.
- Each bulge has a square base and has a centred perforation or hole 18 for the passage of water during the washing/drying process.
- the distance between adjacent bulges is chosen in order to reduce or avoid any flat surface of the drum therebetween.
- the holes 18 are obtained by punching the metal sheet of the wall 12 and the direction of punching is from the inside of the drum 10 to the outside thereof, in order to avoid burrs.
- each bulge 16 is shown in figures 3 and 4. Since the shape is substantially a frustum of pyramid, at least two different regions can be identified: a first region defined by inclined flat walls 16a radiused by corner zones 16b and a second region defined by a bottom flat wall 16c (top of the frustum of pyramid) in which the corresponding hole 18 is centrally located.
- the above described shape of the bulges 16, together with the hole design, has given a surprising increase of the drum stiffness, particularly with reference to shear and bending.
- the new design is particularly advantageous in term of its bending stiffness, which is the most important mechanical features when the drum rotates at high speeds, as in the modern high spin speed washers.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a drum adapted to be rotatably mounted in a washing machine or washer-dryer, said drum having a cylindrical wall provided with perforations and with a plurality of bulges.
- A drum of this kind is shown in
EP-A-1028189 in which the bulges or raised sections are oriented towards the interior of the drum. In this known solution the perforations or openings are provided in indentations between the bulges. -
DE-A-4437986 discloses a method to form a cylindrical structure with bulges in form of different polygons. Bulges having a square pattern are disclosed, but no detail is given as far as the perforations and bulge shape are concerned. -
EP-A-935687 - The above known solutions do not offer a good combination of a stiff drum and gentle treatment of laundry.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a drum of the type mentioned above which increases the gentleness of laundry treatment in high spin speed drums and in which the stiffness of the drum basket is increased.
- The above object is obtained by a drum claimed in the appended claims.
- One of the main features of the present invention is to provide bulges which are oriented towards the exterior of the drum and in which the perforations are centred within the bulges.
- According to a preferred feature of the invention, each bulge is punched like a frustum of pyramid from the inside of the drum, and each perforation or hole is in the centre of each punch.
- According to another preferred feature of the invention, the pyramid-shape bulges are arranged in a rows/columns matrix, in which the position of a column of bulges to the next column of adjacent bulges is offset of 1/3 of the distance between two adjacent rows, which is also the pitch between bulges.
- A particular advantage of the drum according to the invention is the possibility to change the distance of one row of pyramid-shaped bulges to the next one without reducing distance of punched areas. Flat space between bulges will not increase by changing offset. Moerover, changing the offset will not change the shape of the bulges.
- Preferably the bulges are shaped in order to avoid substantially flat area between bulges so that water drops will be immediately on an inclined/deformed surface and then driven towards perforations due to the centrifugal force and funnel-shaped bulges.
- Another important advantage of the present invention is the increase of drum stiffness in bending, which is around 25% if compared to known drums of washing machines.
- Other advantages and features of the present invention will be clear from the following detailed description, provided purely as an example of the invention, with reference to the attached drawings in which:
- Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a drum according to the invention adapted to be used in a washing machine;
- Figure 2 is an enlarged view of a detail of the drum shown in figure 1;
- Figure 3 is a detail of figure 2, showing a plan view of a single bulge of the drum; and
- Figure 4 is a cross section along line IV-IV of figure 3.
- With reference to the drawings, a
drum 10 of a washing machine comprises acylindrical metal wall 12 closed at one end by a substantially flat rear wall (not shown) and presenting, on its other end, anopening 14 for loading/unloading laundry (theopening 14 being aligned with a door - not shown - of the washing machine). Even if the drum shown in figure 1 is for the mounting thereof in the tub of a front loading washing machine, nevertheless the drum can have two opposite end walls and it can be used in a top loading washer as well (in this latter a closable opening for loading/unloading laundry being provided in the cylindrical wall of the drum). - The
wall 12 of thedrum 10 is provided with a plurality ofbulges 16 arranged in a sort of row-column matrix as shown in figures 1 and 2. The columns of the matrix, indicated with reference Y, are all parallel among them and to the rotational axis of thedrum 10 as well, indicated with reference R. In the shown example, each column Y is offset 1/3 of the pitch P between eachbulge 16. Such offset is indicated with reference K in figure 2. Due to this offset K of adjacent columns of the matrix, it is not possible to identify parallel rows of the matrix, rather "irregular" rows of the matrix of bulges. The applicant has tested this arrangement with others and it has been considered as the preferred one in term either of drum stiffness or gentle treatment of laundry during washing. Nevertheless also a regular matrix pattern of the bulges, or an offset K of different value (for instance a ½ offset) offers many technical advantages compared to the prior art and has to be considered within the scope of the present invention. - Each bulge has a square base and has a centred perforation or
hole 18 for the passage of water during the washing/drying process. The distance between adjacent bulges is chosen in order to reduce or avoid any flat surface of the drum therebetween. Theholes 18 are obtained by punching the metal sheet of thewall 12 and the direction of punching is from the inside of thedrum 10 to the outside thereof, in order to avoid burrs. - The peculiar shape of each
bulge 16 is shown in figures 3 and 4. Since the shape is substantially a frustum of pyramid, at least two different regions can be identified: a first region defined by inclined flat walls 16a radiused by corner zones 16b and a second region defined by a bottom flat wall 16c (top of the frustum of pyramid) in which thecorresponding hole 18 is centrally located. - The above described shape of the
bulges 16, together with the hole design, has given a surprising increase of the drum stiffness, particularly with reference to shear and bending. The new design is particularly advantageous in term of its bending stiffness, which is the most important mechanical features when the drum rotates at high speeds, as in the modern high spin speed washers.
