Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dryer that comprises a drum, the front bearing of which is performed by means of rollers.
  • the shafts used for the roller to be connected to the bearing member are fixed to the bearing member by various methods. Nailing of the shafts to the bearing member, which is one of these methods, is a preferred method regarding the production time and costs.
  • the shafts fixed to the bearing member by this method loosen in the course of time by the effect of the load exerted on the rollers during the operation of the dryer and as a result of this loosening, axial escape and noise, sound and abrasion problems occur.
  • the European Patent Application No EP0802273 a washing dryer comprising a hollow axle which is C-shaped in cross-section and two securing members which are secured to the hollow axle such that one of them will remain in front of the roller and the other one behind it, and thus, which provide the roller to be held in the desired position on the hollow axle, is explained.
  • the hollow axle has a cylindrical cross-section and is inserted into the bearing bush on the bearing flange.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dryer wherein its rollers that provide the drum to be borne from its front side are easy to assemble and have high strength.
  • the drum rotates on the rollers, against which the front lid bears.
  • the rollers are borne by means of a shaft that is inserted into the housing situated on the bearing member.
  • the shaft comprises an entry section, a fitting section, an axle section and a threaded section.
  • the entry section has a cylindrical cross-section and is the portion of the shaft that enters the housing first.
  • the fitting section has a polygonal cross-section and a diameter wider than the diameter of the entry section.
  • the shaft is nailed to the housing during the production while the bearing member is warm. Then, as the bearing member gets cool, the housing becomes narrow and thus, the walls of the housing tightly surround the fitting section. Hence, the fixing of the shaft to the bearing member is performed.
  • the shaft is inserted into the mould during the production of the bearing member and comes out of the mould together with the bearing member.
  • the shaft is provided to be fixed such that it will be one piece with the bearing member.
  • the axle section remaining outside the housing has a cylindrical cross-section and the roller is mounted thereon.
  • the threaded section located in front of the axle section enables a fixing means such as nut to be mounted thereon.
  • the roller is rotatably mounted to the shaft such that the roller will remain between the fixing means and the fitting section.
  • the dryer furthermore, comprises a lid covering the front face of the bearing member.
  • the bearing member and the lid comprise opposite locking means such as feder-boss that enable them to be fixed to each other by shape-locking.
  • locking means such as feder-boss that enable them to be fixed to each other by shape-locking.
  • the shaft comprises a bore that is formed as threaded suitable for mounting a screw therein.
  • the bearing member and the lid comprise screw holes. The bore and the screw holes overlap when the shaft, the bearing member and the lid are brought together.
  • the dryer furthermore, comprises at least one screw in order to fix the shaft at its end whereto the roller is not mounted. The screw is mounted in the bore by passing through the screw holes on the bearing member and on the lid.
  • the bearing member furthermore, comprises stoppers that are located at the edges of the screw hole and that prevent the shaft from proceeding too much during its nailing into the housing.
  • Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a dryer.
  • Figure 2 - is the rear perspective view of the bearing member and the rollers.
  • Figure 3 - is the detailed front view of the bearing member, the roller and the lid.
  • Figure 4 - is the detailed rear view of the bearing member, the roller and the lid.
  • Figure 5 - is another detailed rear view of the bearing member, the roller and the lid.
  • Figure 6 - is the cross-sectional view of the bearing member, the roller and the lid.
  • Figure 7 - is the exploded view of the bearing member, the roller and the lid.
  • Figure 8 - is the front perspective view of the shaft.
  • Figure 9 - is the rear perspective view of the shaft.
  • Figure 10 - is the sideways view of the shaft.
  • the dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a drum (2) that is rotated around its own horizontal axis ( Figure 1).
  • the dryer (1) of the present invention is a horizontal axis dryer (1).
  • the drum (2) comprises a cylindrical body (3), and a ring-shaped front wall
  • the dryer (1) furthermore, comprises
  • the shaft (7) comprises
  • a fitting section (11) which has a polygonal cross-section and a diameter wider than the diameter of the entry section (10), which is located behind the entry section (10) and which provides the shaft (7) to be fixed to the housing (8),
  • the shafts (7) are produced by a rod, which entirely has a polygonal cross-section, being processed such that an entry section (10), an axle section (12) and a threaded section (13) will be formed.
  • the fitting section (11) has preferably a hexagonal cross-section ( Figures 8 to 10).
  • the shaft (7) is nailed to the housing (8) in a short time after the production of the bearing member (6), while the bearing member (6) is still warm.
  • the nailing process is provided to be easily performed.
  • the housing (8) becomes narrow and thus, bears against the fitting section (11) and even against the entry section (10) of the shaft (7) inserted therein.
  • the snap-fit fixing of the shaft (7) onto the bearing member (6) is performed.
  • the bearing member (6) is produced by being shaped by means of a mould, and the shaft (7) is inserted into the mould during the production of the bearing member (6) and thus, comes out of the mould together with the bearing member (6).
  • the shaft (7) is provided to be strongly fixed onto the bearing member (6).
  • the roller (5) is mounted to the axle section (12) of the shaft (7) and by the fixing means (9) being mounted onto the threaded section (13) that remains in front of the roller (5), the assembly of the roller (5) onto the shaft (7) is performed.
  • the fixing means (9) is preferably a nut ( Figure 7).
  • the shaft (7) is provided to be centered inside the housing (8) and rotation of the shaft (7) inside the housing (8) caused by the loosening of the connection by the effect of the loads that act on the shaft (7) during the rotation of the drum (2) is prevented.
  • the dryer (1) furthermore, comprises a lid (14) covering the bearing member (6) face that does not face the drum (2).
  • the bearing member (6) and the lid (14) comprise opposite locking means (15) that enable them to be fixed to each other by shape-locking ( Figure 6).
  • the shaft (7) comprises a bore (16) wherein a thread is cut and which is located at the shaft (7) end wherein the entry section (10) is situated.
  • the bearing member (6) and the lid (14) comprise screw holes which are aligned with the bore (16) when the bearing member (6), the shaft (7) and the lid (14) are brought together.
  • the dryer (1) furthermore, comprises a screw (17) which is mounted in the bore (16) by passing through the screw holes on the bearing member (6) and on the lid (14) ( Figure 6 and Figure 7).
  • the screw (17) also causes the shaft (7) to be drawn towards itself by locking to the threaded form inside the bore (16).
  • the shaft (7) is provided to be tightly fixed and to be held in the desired position, and is prevented from loosening in the course of time.
  • the bearing member (6) comprises stoppers (18) that are located at the edges of the screw hole, at the base of the housing (8) and that prevent the shaft (7) from proceeding more than desired during its nailing into the housing (8) ( Figure 7).
  • the roller (5), the bearing member (6) and the lid (14) are assembled by the assembly method that is explained below.
  • the housing (8) becomes narrow and thus, bears against the fitting section (11) and the entry section (10) of the shaft (7) inserted therein (102),
  • the fixing means (9) is mounted (104),
  • the screw (17) passes through the screw holes on the bearing member (6) and on the lid (14) and locks to the threaded form inside the bore (16), and causes the shaft (7) to be drawn towards itself (106).
