Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine with increased washing performance wherein the washed laundry is prevented from wearing out.
  • Washing machines particularly the front loading washing machines with horizontal axis, comprise a tub situated inside a body and a perforated drum that provides washing of the laundry by rotating in the tub.
  • openings are provided on the front walls of the body, tub and drum that overlap with each other. These openings are covered by a lid located on the body.
  • a bellows disposed at the region where the opening is situated between the tub and the front wall of the body provides the washing liquid and the laundry inside the tub to stay in the drum.
  • the bellows by means of its resilient configuration, provides leak-proofing effectively between the front wall of the body and the tub that moves by the motion of the drum rotating inside during the washing and spin-drying processes.
  • the lid comprises a frustoconically shaped transparent lid that extends from the front wall of the body into the drum.
  • the transparent lid keeps the laundry away from the bellows and prevents them from getting caught inside the bellows and wearing out.
  • washing machines comprising a frustoconical transparent lid that extends into the drum.
  • the transparent lid has a conical edge and an inclined front side.
  • the surface of the front side is produced in a knurled structure in order to improve the washing performance and provide the laundry to mix better.
  • a washing machine comprising a frustoconical transparent cover that extends into the drum and that has a crescent-shaped inclined surface surrounding its outer surface by rotating from the level wherein the diameter of the cover has the greatest value up to the level wherein the diameter of the cover has the smallest value.
  • US 3 276 229 A discloses a front-loading washing machine with a door comprising a window which extends into a corresponding opening of a drum when the door is closed.
  • the window comprises an inclined and curved central portion.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine which comprises a lid that improves the washing performance.
  • the transparent lid extends from the front wall into the drum and the tub when the lid is closed.
  • the side, facing the inside of the drum, of the transparent lid, which extends into the drum when the lid is closed, has an inclined form.
  • This inclined form has a progressive configuration which is provided not by a single inclined plane but by positioning more than one inclined plane one above the other.
  • a ring-shaped skirt which is seated into the frame, is located on the edges of the transparent lid.
  • the conical portion forming the body of the transparent lid extends from the skirt and provides the transparent lid to extend into the tub when the lid is closed.
  • the front side of the transparent lid facing the drum inner volume has a progressive-inclined configuration from the top downwards. In other words, the transparent lid extends into the tub at most at the lower end.
  • the front side comprises inclined surfaces and connection surfaces that are ordered one after another such that an inclined surface extends into the body, a connection surface extends from the lower end of this inclined surface towards the reverse direction and another inclined surface extends from the end of the connection surface into the body again.
  • a progressive-inclined form such as a pine tree consisting of triangles that are added under one another is provided. This progressive-inclined configuration provides the washing effectiveness to be improved by increasing the interaction of the laundry with the transparent lid during washing.
  • the inclined surfaces are equiangular with respect to the horizontal axis and are positioned progressively.
  • the inclination of the inclined surfaces increases at each step from the top downwards. In other words, out of two consecutive inclined surfaces, the angle of the upper one with the horizontal axis is greater than the angle of the lower one with the horizontal axis.
  • the lowermost inclined surface that has the smallest angle with the horizontal axis provides the laundry to be mixed and the washing to be improved in cases a few laundry is loaded in the drum.
  • the inclined surface in the middle step contributes to the mixing of all laundry in case that the washing machine has an average amount of load, and the inclined surface in the uppermost step having the greatest angle with the horizontal axis in case that the washing machine has the highest amount of load.
  • the washing machine (1) comprises a body (2) having a front wall (7), a tub (3) in which the washing process is performed, a drum (4) which is disposed inside the tub (3) and into which the laundry to be washed is placed, a loading port (5) which is located on the front wall (7) and provides access into the tub (3) and the drum (4), and a lid (6) covering the loading port (5).
  • the lid (6) comprises a frame (8) and a transparent lid (9) that is disposed in the center of the frame (8) and that extends from the loading port (5) into the drum (4).
  • the washing machine (1) is of front-loading type with a horizontal axis.
  • the washing machine (1) furthermore, comprises a tub opening (11) that corresponds to the loading port (5) and that is located on the tub (3) surface facing the front wall (7), a drum opening (10) that corresponds to the loading port (5) and the tub opening (11) and that is located on the drum (4) surface facing the front wall (7), and a bellows (12) with one end attached to the side of the tub opening (11) and the other to the side of the front wall (7), that provides the leak-proofing between the front wall (7) and the tub (3), which moves with the motion of the rotating drum (4), by means of its resilient configuration.
  • the loading port (5), the tub opening (11) and the drum opening (10) are all circular.
  • the transparent lid (9) has a frustoconical shape.
  • the frame (8) bears against the front wall (7) and the transparent lid (9) enters into the drum (4) and the tub (3) through the front wall (7).
  • the portion of the transparent lid (9) aligned with the drum opening (10) has a progressive-inclined form.
  • the transparent lid (9) portion which is aligned with the drum opening (10) when the lid (6) is closed, being progressive-inclined, the rubbing effect on the laundry is increased and the washing performance is improved. Furthermore, an effective mixing is provided by contributing to the movement of the laundry inside the drum (4).
  • the transparent lid (9) comprises a skirt (13) which is seated into the frame (8), a conical surface (14) shaped as a truncated cone which enables the transparent lid (9) to enter into the tub (3) when the lid (6) is closed by extending from said skirt (13), and a progressive-inclined front side (15) which covers the truncated side of the transparent lid (9) and remains aligned with the drum opening (10) when the lid (6) is closed.
  • the front side (15) is inclined from the top downwards such that the upper end of the transparent lid (9) extends from the wall (7) into the drum (4) less and the lower end more.
  • the height of the conical surface (14) is more at the bottom and less at the top.
  • the front side (15) comprises more than one inclined surface (16, 116, 216) that are ordered one after another from the top downwards in a truncated manner.
  • the front side (15) comprises connection surfaces (17) that form a stepped configuration by joining the consecutive inclined surfaces (16, 116, 216) so as to form a recess in the horizontal plane in the direction opposite to the inclination direction.
  • angles of the inclined surfaces (16, 116, 216) with the horizontal plane are equal to each other and the inclined surfaces (16, 116, 216) are ordered progressively from the top downwards.
  • the angle of the consecutive inclined surfaces (16, 116, 216) with the horizontal axis decreases from the top downwards.
  • the angle of the upper inclined surface (16) with the horizontal axis ( ⁇ , ⁇ ) is greater than the angle of the lower inclined surface (116) with the horizontal plane ( ⁇ , ⁇ ).
  • the front side (15) comprises three consecutive inclined surfaces (16).
  • the lowermost first inclined surface (16) is the surface that makes the smallest angle ( ⁇ ) with the horizontal axis, and contacts the laundry when a small amount of laundry is loaded into the drum (4) and provides the laundry to be mixed effectively.
  • the second inclined surface (116) that is located in the middle has a greater angle ( ⁇ ) with the horizontal axis. When an average amount of laundry is loaded into the drum (4), the first and the second inclined surface (116) contact the laundry and provide the laundry to be mixed effectively.
  • the uppermost third inclined surface (216) has the greatest angle ( ⁇ ) with the horizontal axis and hence enables the laundry to be mixed effectively even when a high amount of laundry is loaded into the drum (4).
