Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household appliance for washing articles.
- the present invention relates to a laundry washing machine or dishwasher having an electric water drain pump, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
- laundry washing machines and dishwashers are normally equipped with an electric water pumps for drainage.
- These type of pump has an impeller connected to the end of an electric motor shaft, which rotates about a central rotation axis inside a pumping chamber having an intake duct and a duct.
- the impeller is connected mechanically to the electric motor shaft by an articulated joint or clutch, which allows a certain amount of free relative rotation (e.g. 120°) between the shaft and impeller, so that, when the electric motor is started, the electric motor shaft initially rotates substantially idly to greatly reduce the starting torque and electric current peaks.
- the high hydraulic inertia of the stationary water in the pumping chamber in fact, initially generates a high resisting torque on the impeller, and hence on the electric motor shaft.
- a household appliance for washing articles having at least one electric pump, according to the preamble of claim 1, is also known from US 4651040
- a household appliance for washing articles as claimed in Claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, in any one of the dependent Claims.
- number 1 indicates as a whole a household appliance for washing having an hydraulic circuit for circulating the washing liquid in the appliance and/or draining the washing liquid from the appliance at the end of the washing cycle.
- household appliance 1 is a home laundry washing machine 1, which comprises a casing 2 resting on the floor; a preferably, though not necessarily, cylindrical washing tub 3 suspended in floating manner inside casing 2 by means of a number of coil springs 4 (only one shown in Figure 1 ) preferably, though not necessarily, combined with one or more shock-absorbers (not shown); a rotary drum 6 housed inside washing tub 3 to rotate about its longitudinal axis; and an hydraulic circuit 7 for feeding or draining water to or from washing tub 3 on command.
- a home laundry washing machine 1 which comprises a casing 2 resting on the floor; a preferably, though not necessarily, cylindrical washing tub 3 suspended in floating manner inside casing 2 by means of a number of coil springs 4 (only one shown in Figure 1 ) preferably, though not necessarily, combined with one or more shock-absorbers (not shown); a rotary drum 6 housed inside washing tub 3 to rotate about its longitudinal axis; and an hydraulic circuit 7 for feeding or draining water to or from washing tub 3 on command.
- hydraulic circuit 7 has an electric pump 8 for circulating or draining water, and which comprises an outer volute 9 having an inner pumping chamber 9a, which communicates with the outside, i.e. with the water pipes of hydraulic circuit 7, via two openings defining the inlet 8a and outlet 8b of the pump respectively; an impeller 10 housed in axially rotating manner inside pumping chamber 9a to rotate about a barycentric axis A of rotation preferably, though not necessarily, coincident with the longitudinal axis of outer volute 9; and a rotary electric motor 11 (e.g.
- a synchronous permanent-magnet electric motor or an asynchronous permanent-magnet, synchronous or asynchronous motor
- a synchronous permanent-magnet electric motor or an asynchronous permanent-magnet, synchronous or asynchronous motor
- outer volute 9 consists of a substantially disk-shaped body 12 formed in one piece with the outer casing of electric motor 11 so that the end portion of rotary shaft 11a projects from the center of disk-shaped body 12; and of a substantially cup-shaped body 13 fitted removably to disk-shaped body 12 in fluidtight manner to internally define pumping chamber 9a of impeller 10.
- disk-shaped body 12 is coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the outer casing or volute 9, i.e. with barycentric axis A, and rotary shaft 11a is inserted inside disk-shaped body 12 in rotary and fluidtight manner.
- Cup-shaped body 13 is screwed to disk-shaped body 12, and has an axial intake duct 14 extending coaxially with the longitudinal axis of outer volute 9, i.e. with barycentric axis A; and a radial drain duct 15 extending laterally with respect to cup-shaped body 13 (i.e. perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of outer volute 9).
- a flexible annular washer 16 is preferably, though not necessarily, fitted between cup-shaped body 13 and disk-shaped body 12 to prevent water leakage.
- impeller 10 of electric pump 8 is housed inside cup-shaped body 13, i.e. inside pumping chamber 9a, rotates about barycentric axis A, and comprises a preferably, though not necessarily, ogival-shaped central hub 17 extending coaxially with barycentric axis A and fitted rigidly to the end of rotary shaft 11a; and one or more (four in the example shown) projecting blades 18 fitted to central hub 17 and preferably, though not necessarily, equally spaced angularly about central hub 17.
- each blade 18 of electric pump 8 is fixed to central hub 17 so as to be movable between a fully retracted position, in which blade 18 is almost totally withdrawn inside central hub 17 (see Figure 3 ), and a fully extracted position, in which blade 18 projects from central hub 17 by almost its whole length measured perpendicular to rotation axis A (see Figure 4 ), so that the outer lateral edge 18a of the blade is further from rotation axis A than when blade 18 is in the fully retracted position.
- impeller 10 also comprises means for controlling the position of the movable projecting blades 18 on central hub 17 according to the instantaneous angular speed of impeller 10.
- impeller 10 comprises means for counteracting centrifugal force and moving each movable projecting blade 18 into the fully retracted position when the angular speed of central hub 17 falls below a given value.
- each movable projecting blade 18 consists of a substantially trapezoidal plate-like fin 18, which lies in a radial plane intersecting rotation axis A of central hub 17, and is inserted in sliding manner inside a respective radial slot 17a formed in the body of central hub 17; and the means for controlling the position of the movable projecting blades 18 comprise a number of coil springs 19, each of which is housed in a respective radial slot 17a in central hub 17, and has a first end fixed to the bottom of the radial slot 17a, and a second end fixed to the fin body, so as to pull the whole fin 18 onto the bottom of respective radial slot 17a.
- each coil spring 19 is designed to counteract the centrifugal force and elastically keep the respective movable projecting blade 18 in the fully retracted position whenever the angular speed of central hub 17 is below a given value.
- coil springs 19 counteract the centrifugal force and keep the movable projecting blades 18 in the fully retracted position inside central hub 17, to prevent impeller 10 generating a high resisting torque when rotating in the stationary water inside pumping chamber 9a.
- electric pump 8 has numerous advantages. By virtue of the design of impeller 10, electric pump 8 does not need an articulated joint or clutch between impeller 10 and shaft 11a of electric motor 11 to reduce the starting torque requested of electric motor 11.
- impeller 10 of electric pump 8 may comprise one or more movable projecting blades 18, and one or more fixed projecting blades 18 connected rigidly to central hub 17 with no radial displacement.
- household appliance 1 may be a dishwasher.
- electric pump 8 is used to circulate or drain dishwashing water.
