Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a household appliance column assembly.
  • the present invention relates to a household appliance column assembly formed by a laundry dryer stacked on a washing machine.
  • a vibration damper which is fixed to the machine casing to reduce casing vibrations at resonance speeds, and which normally comprises an oscillating mass and a number of coil springs connecting the oscillating mass to the washing machine casing.
  • the oscillating mass and the coil spring system are properly dimensioned to vibrate, during rotation of the drum, out of phase with respect to vibrations transmitted to the casing by the floating suspension system of the drum, thus reducing the amplitude of the casing vibrations.
  • washing machine total weight is one of the main parameters to be taken into consideration in the dimensioning of the above cited vibration damper (traditionally known as "Frahm damper”).
  • the drum floating suspension system and the vibration damper of the washing machine fail to sufficiently reduce machine vibrations reaching the casing, so that the washing machine becomes noisy.
  • washing machine vibration damper does not provide for optimum dumping performances and the vibrations generated by the revolving drum during the spin cycle may be resonance-amplified to an unacceptable noise level. This phenomenon becomes much more evident when the household appliance column assembly rests on a flexible floor, such as a wooden floor, a soft floor, or a floor resting on a thin slab.
  • a household appliance column assembly as claimed in Claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, any one of the Claims depending directly or indirectly on Claim 1.
  • Number 1 in the accompanying drawings indicates as a whole a household appliance column assembly formed by two household appliances stacked one above the other on the floor, wherein each of two household appliances comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, parallelepiped-shaped cabinet or casing and a series of supporting feet extending from the bottom of the cabinet to rest on the floor or on the top of the cabinet of the lower household appliance.
  • household appliance column assembly 1 is formed by a washing machine 2 resting on the floor, and by a laundry dryer 3 resting on the top of washing machine 2.
  • Washing machine 2 comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, parallelepiped-shaped cabinet 4, a series of supporting feet 5 extending from the bottom of cabinet 4 to rest on the floor, and a cylindrical washing tub 6 which is positioned inside cabinet 4 and is provided with a front opening selectively closable by a door 7 hinged to cabinet 4.
  • Washing machine 2 also comprises a revolving drum 8 fitted in rotary manner about a horizontal rotation axis inside washing tub 6, and an electric motor (not shown) connected to drum 8 by a transmission system so as to rotate, on command, drum 8 about its longitudinal rotation axis inside washing tub 6.
  • laundry dryer 3 in turn comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, parallelepiped-shaped cabinet 9, a series of supporting feet 10 extending from the bottom of cabinet 9 to rest on the top of washing machine cabinet 4, and a drying chamber (not shown) which is located inside cabinet 9 and is provided with a front opening selectively closable by a door 11 hinged to cabinet 9.
  • laundry dryer 3 also comprises a revolving drum 12 fitted in rotary manner about a horizontal rotation axis inside the drying chamber, and an electric motor (not shown) connected to drum 12 by a transmission system so as to rotate, on command, drum 12 about its longitudinal rotation axis inside the above cited drying chamber.
  • laundry dryer 3 i.e. the upper household appliance of household appliance column assembly 1
  • washing machine 2 i.e. the lower household appliance of household appliance column assembly 1
  • each supporting foot 10 of laundry dryer 3 i.e. of the upper household appliance
  • each supporting foot 10 of laundry dryer 3 comprises a rigid element 13 projecting from the bottom of cabinet 9, and at least one elastic pad 14 of viscoelastic polymeric gel covering the distal end 13a of rigid element 13 so as to be interposed between rigid element 13 and the top surface 4a of cabinet 4 of washing machine 2.
  • rigid element 13 is formed by a plastic or metal stem 15 projecting from the bottom of cabinet 9 coaxially to a vertical reference axis A, and by a disk-shaped washer 16 fixed to the end of stem 16 so as to lie on a reference plane perpendicular to reference axis A, whereas pad 14 is defined by a monolithic disk-shaped piece 14 of viscoelastic polymeric gel covering the lower flat surface of washer 16, i.e. the distal end 13a of rigid element 13.
  • elastic pads 14 are made of viscoelastic Polyurethane or Silicone gel having a dynamic elastic modulus G' lower than 300.000 pascals within a frequency range between 5 Hertz and 15 Hertz, and a dynamic loss factor ⁇ greater than 0,1 within a frequency range between 5 Hertz and 15 Hertz.
  • elastic modulus G' of the viscoelastic polymeric gel should be lower than 300.000 pascals within a frequency range between 3 Hertz and 30 Hertz, and loss factor ⁇ should be greater than 0,1 within a frequency range between 3 Hertz and 30 Hertz.
  • elastic modulus G' of the viscoelastic polymeric gel is comprised between 10.000 pascals and 100.000 pascals within a frequency range between 5 Hertz and 15 Hertz, and preferably, though not necessarily, within a frequency range between 3 Hertz and 30 Hertz; and loss factor ⁇ of the viscoelastic polymeric gel is comprised between 0,1 and 0,5 within a frequency range between 5 Hertz and 15 Hertz, and preferably, though not necessarily, within a frequency range between 3 Hertz and 30 Hertz.
  • ⁇ MK ⁇ wherein M is the value of the sinusoidal stress torque transmitted to the support, and K ⁇ is the geometrical stress constant of the tested material sample.
  • ⁇ ⁇ K ⁇
  • ⁇ the value of the angular displacement of the end of material sample (i.e. the viscoelastic polymeric gel) subjected to the sinusoidal strain
  • K ⁇ the geometrical strain constant of the tested material sample
  • ⁇ tan ⁇ wherein ⁇ is the phase angle between strain and stress trends (i.e. phase shift between strain and stress vectors).
  • Household appliance column assembly 1 has numerous advantages: the use of laundry dryer 3 as a vibration damper takes away the need to replace the internal "Frahm damper" of the washing machine 2 when the latter becomes part of a household appliance column assembly. Moreover assembling of laundry dryer 3 on the top of washing machine 2 is earlier and faster than in today's household appliance column assemblies.
  • damping performance of the floating laundry dryer 3 remains high over a extremely wide operative range of frequencies, thus strongly improving stability and silenceness of the household appliance column assembly 1.
  • supporting feet 10 of laundry dryer 3 may be replaced by a single large supporting foot comprising a rigid bedplate fixed to the bottom of cabinet 9, and at least one elastic pad of viscoelastic polymeric gel covering the lower surface of the bedplate so as to be interposed between the bedplate and the top surface 4a of washing machine cabinet 4.
