Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washer/dryer comprising shock absorbers that damps the vibrational movements of the tub.
  • the tub wherein the drum rotates with the laundry loaded therein, makes oscillatory and vibrational movements depending on the load conditions and the number of revolutions per minute during operation.
  • the tub is generally attached to the casing with the shock absorbers from the lower part and while the shock absorbers function to damp the vibrations of the tub, thereby decreasing the transfer to the body also behave like an energy transmission pathway that transfer the vibrations to the body and this causes generation of noise.
  • the shock absorbers prevent the tub from bumping to the body by damping the high amplitude vibrations when the washing machine passes from the washing step to the spin drying step.
  • the amplitude of vibration decreases and if single effect shock absorber is being used, the shock absorber, that is adjusted for frictional forces with respect to high amplitude vibrations, generally transfer the low amplitude vibrations to the body without damping.
  • the utilization of shock absorbers that damps more energy is required.
  • dual effect, electronic or hydraulic shock absorbers are used however the cost of these is high.
  • Various types of elastic elements are used in the tub and/or body connections of shock absorbers in order to achieve a dual effect shock absorber by increasing the damping effect of simple structured, for example, single effect dry friction shock absorbers.
  • a washer/dryer with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from DE 10 2005 008239A1 .
  • the damper that attenuates the movements of the tub in a washing machine is connected to the body with an elastic member.
  • the vibrational amplitude of the elastic member is controlled by upper and lower limiters.
  • the damper is connected to both the washing machine body and the tub by elastic elements and the oscillation movements that force the damper to bend are damped by these elastic elements.
  • the damper is connected to the washing machine body and the tub with an elastic and locking structure.
  • the bearing bolt of the damper is fitted into U or V shaped channels disposed in the bearings located on the main casing and the tub of the washing machine and the bearing shaft is prevented dislodging from the channels by providing a flexible connection with an elastic safety lock.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer/dryer comprising shock absorbers that damps both low and high amplitude vibrational movements of the tub by improving the connection method to the body.
  • the tub which makes vibrational movements during operation with the effect of the drum wherein the laundry is placed, is connected to the body with the shock absorbers for damping the vibrations.
  • More than one bracket is disposed on the body and the tub that provide the connection of the shock absorber.
  • At least one hole is disposed on each of the bracket and the shock absorber, aligned with one another during assembly.
  • the shock absorber is provided to be secured to the bracket by inserting the pin through the holes.
  • the pin comprises a hollow sleeve and a shaft disposed in this sleeve.
  • the shaft is placed into the sleeve thus providing securing.
  • Aligning the shaft to be mounted easily to the sleeve is provided by a channel that is formed longitudinally on the shaft and a protrusion situated on the inner surface of the sleeve which is seated into the channel.
  • a stopper is situated at the section of the channel close to the end in the shaft placement direction. While the shaft is placed into the sleeve, the protrusion passes over this stopper, passing to the portion of the channel following the stopper and can no longer move in the opposite direction. Thus, the shaft is provided to be locked into the sleeve.
  • a ramp is situated in the channel, prior to the protrusion, extending from the base of the channel towards the stopper in order to facilitate passing of the protrusion over the stopper.
  • the protrusion reaches the stopper by moving forward on the ramp and is again seated in the channel after passing over the stopper. Thereafter, the shaft cannot be dislodged from the sleeve without being damaged even if a force is exerted thereon in the opposite direction. Because, the protrusion will prevent movement in the opposite direction by bearing against the stopper.
  • the protrusion is preferably configured in the shape of a detent means in order to easily provide the said movement.
  • the pin comprises a skirt disposed peripherally at the end of the sleeve wherefrom the shaft is inserted and extending outwards from the sleeve.
  • a flange is located on the shaft, again peripherally, that rests on the skirt when the shaft is placed into the sleeve.
  • At least one slit is situated on the sleeve so as to enable the sleeve to partially expand when the shaft is pushed thereinto.
  • the sleeve expands when the shaft is placed thereinto providing the shock absorber to be tightly secured to the brackets.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises
  • the pin (8) furthermore, comprises
  • the shaft (9) is provided to be easily placed into the sleeve (10) and to be locked in its final position.
  • the sleeve (10) is inserted through the holes (7, 107) by aligning the holes (7, 107) on the shock absorber (5) and the bracket (6). Afterwards, the shaft (9) is placed into the sleeve (10) thus providing securing.
  • the protrusion (12) is aligned with the channel (11).
  • the protrusion (12) moves forwards inside the channel (11).
  • the shaft (9) is continued to be pushed and the protrusion (12) passes over the stopper (13).
  • the protrusion (12) is again seated in the channel (11) after passing over the stopper (13).
  • the protrusion (12) is locked with the stopper (13) and the shaft (9) cannot be dislodged from the sleeve (10) anymore even if it is pulled back.
  • the pin (8) furthermore comprises a ramp (14) disposed in front of the stopper (13) in the placement direction of the shaft (9) into the sleeve (10).
  • a ramp (14) disposed in front of the stopper (13) in the placement direction of the shaft (9) into the sleeve (10).
  • the protrusion (12) is configured as a flexible detent means to easily pass over the stopper (13) but not allowing to move in the opposite direction. Thus, it is possible to easily realize the operations of mounting and locking.
  • the pin (8) comprises a peripheral skirt (15) at the end of the sleeve (10) wherein the shaft (9) enters thereto, extending outwards from the sleeve (10) and again a peripheral flange (16) on the shaft (9), that bears against the skirt (15) when the shaft (9) is placed into the sleeve (10).
  • the protrusion (12) - stopper (13) pair the movement in the other direction is prevented by the skirt (15) - flange (16) pair and complete locking is provided.
  • both the sleeve (10) and the shaft (9) are configured in cylindrical shape. Consequently, the shaft (9) is provided to easily move forwards while being placed into the sleeve (10).
  • the pin (8) comprises at least one slit (17) disposed on the sleeve (10), providing it to partially expand when the shaft (9) is placed into the sleeve (10). Consequently, when the shaft (9) is placed into the sleeve (10), the shaft (9) is provided to widen by expanding and bear against the periphery of the holes (7, 107) and thus the shock absorber (5) to be tightly connected to the bracket (6).
  • the pin (8) comprises a handle (18) situated at the portion of the shaft (8) remaining behind the flange (16).
  • a handle (18) situated at the portion of the shaft (8) remaining behind the flange (16).
  • the pin (8) is provided to be mounted easily and correctly during assembling of the shock absorbers (5) to the bracket (6).
