Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a drum that is suitable for using in laundry washing or laundry washing-drying machines.
  • a washing machine drum wherein the band (rectangle-shaped sheet metal) is provided with stamps in the shape of a half-moon extruded from an outer side of the drum in an inward direction.
  • the stamps are arranged in rows parallel to the drum axis, whereas an orientation of the stamps is changing each row about 180°, and by this way are formed left stamps and right stamps. Alternately, in each second row is about one stamp less. In the rows with a lower number of stamps these stamps are arranged in a level of gaps between two stamps in the neighbouring row.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a drum that is suitable for using in laundry washing or laundry washing-drying machines and that is prevented from harming the laundry placed therein.
  • the drum realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims dependent thereof, is suitable for using in laundry washing or laundry washing-drying machines and comprises a cylindrical body and holes and bulges located on the cylindrical body.
  • the contour of the bulges is shaped as a closed curve.
  • the contour of the bulges is formed by joining the concave and convex portions end to end.
  • the concave portion of the contour is between the two convex portions.
  • the contour of the bulge is composed of line segments joined end to end.
  • the corners wherein the line segments join are rounded.
  • the line segments are joined to one another alternatively with obtuse angle and acute angle, respectively.
  • the bulge is shaped as a simple concave polygon with rounded corners.
  • the bulge is arrowhead-shaped.
  • the bulge comprises a ridge and at least two surfaces that are inclined in different directions from the ridge towards the surface of the cylindrical body.
  • the surfaces are mirror-symmetric with respect to the ridge.
  • the ridge is inclined towards the surface of the cylindrical body.
  • the holes and bulges are arranged along lines parallel to one another in the axial direction with respect to the rotational axis of the drum.
  • the holes and bulges are aligned so as to follow one another alternately.
  • the ridge extends inclined in the radial direction with respect to the rotational axis of the drum.
  • the concave portion of the bulge contour partially surrounds the hole that comes thereafter on the bulge-hole sequence.
  • the bulge and the hole surrounded by the concave portion of the bulge contour form a deltoid shape together.
  • the holes in adjacent lines are positioned in a staggered manner with respect to one another.
  • the drum (1) which is suitable for using in laundry washing or laundry washing-drying machines and wherein the laundry is placed comprises a cylindrical body (2), at least one hole (3) located on the cylindrical body (2) and at least one bulge (4) which is located on the cylindrical body (2) and extends from the surface of the cylindrical body (2) towards the rotational axis (E) of the drum (1) ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 ).
  • the contour of the bulges (4) is shaped as a closed curve. At least one portion (C1 and C2) of the contour is convex-shaped and another portion (C3) thereof is concave-shaped. The concave-shaped portion (C3) is located between the convex-shaped portions (C1 and C2).
  • the contour is composed of line segments (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 and D6) joined end to end to one another.
  • the junctures of the line segments (D1, D2, D3, D4. D5 and D6) have radiuses (R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6) ( Figure 3 ).
  • the line segments (D1, D2, D3, D4, D5 and D6) forming the contour are joined such that there is an acute and obtuse angle therebetween, respectively.
  • the bulge (4) comprises at least one ridge (5) and at least two surfaces (6, 106) that are inclined from the ridge (5) towards the surface of the cylindrical body (2) ( Figure 3 ).
  • the ridge (5) separates the surfaces (6, 106) from each other.
  • the ridge (5) is inclined towards the surface of the cylindrical body (2).
  • the surfaces (6, 106) are mirror-symmetric with respect to the ridge (5). Since both the ridge (5) and the surfaces (6, 106) are inclined towards the surface of the cylindrical body (2), the washing liquid coming onto the bulge (4) during the washing process is facilitated to flow over the bulge (4) towards the surface of the cylindrical body (2) ( Figure 4 , Figure 5, Figure 6 and Figure 7 ).
  • the holes (3) and bulges (4) are arranged along lines (S) parallel to one another in the axial direction with respect to the rotational axis (E) of the drum (1).
  • the holes (3) and the bulges (4) are arranged so that there is one hole (3) and after that one bulge (4) on each line (S).
  • One hole (3) is located before and after the bulge (4) along the line (S).
  • the hole (3) located after the bulge (4) among the line (S) is partially surrounded by the concave portion (C3) of the bulge (4) contour.
  • the holes (3) in adjacent lines (S) are arranged so as to be off-set from one another ( Figure 4 ).
  • the washing liquid in the drum (1) is discharged out of the drum (1) by means of the holes (3).
  • the washing fluid coming onto the bulge (4) drains towards the surface of the cylindrical body (2) in different directions by means of the inclination of the surfaces (6, 106) and ridge (5) towards the surface of the cylindrical body (2).
  • the washing fluid is directed towards three different holes (3) is located around the bulge (4).
  • the circulation properties of the washing fluid in the drum (1) are improved.
