Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine or laundry washer/dryer.
  • rear wall is one of the surfaces most contacted by the laundry placed in the drum.
  • the laundry gathers by moving towards the rear wall of the drum. Since the mobility of the laundry in the drum is less, washing and/or drying performance decreases.
  • Korean Patent Document No. KR20050011515 a washing machine is explained, having baffles that are disposed on the rear wall and that provide the laundry to be moved.
  • Document JP H07 116393 A relates to clothes dryer comprising an outer frame, a rotary drum, a blower fan, a motor to drive the drum and the fan, a heat source to heat air.
  • a baffle is provided on a wall surface of the drum to agitate clothes in the drum.
  • the drum has a protruding part at an inner back surface of the drum.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine or laundry washer/dryer wherein the mobility of the laundry in the drum is increased and thus the washing/drying effectiveness is provided to be increased.
  • the washing machine or laundry washer/dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises one or more than one baffle disposed on the rear wall, extending from the center of the rear wall towards the outer periphery of the rear wall and rising towards the inside of the drum and at least one protrusion having a continuous form and which extends from the rear wall towards the inside of the drum so as to exceed the baffles.
  • the washing machine comprises one or more than one compartment on the rear wall, formed by the baffles dividing the rear wall.
  • a shape is provided on the rear wall, which provides the loads to be carried more effectively.
  • the protrusion is shaped as a curve.
  • the laundry is provided to be mixed by impacting the protrusion surfaces disposed on the baffles and compartments as a single piece.
  • the protrusion is shaped as a spiral.
  • the laundry is provided to move forward along the protrusion.
  • the laundry impacting the protrusion is provided to move in different directions.
  • the protrusion is shaped as a ring.
  • the protrusion parallel to the body forms an impacting surface for the laundry.
  • the protrusion is concentric with the rear wall center.
  • the protrusion is not concentric with the rear wall center. the center of movement of the drum and the center of movement of the protrusion being different provides the movement directions of the laundry to be differentiated.
  • the protrusion and the rear wall are produced separately.
  • the protrusion is formed on the rear wall by the deep drawing method.
  • the protrusion is produced as integrated with the rear wall and the baffles.
  • the height of the portion of the protrusion that passes over the baffle is less than the height of the portion of the protrusion that passes over the compartments.
  • the portions of the protrusion that contact the laundry are rounded.
  • the laundry is prevented from being deformed when the protrusion contacts the laundry.
  • a washing machine or laundry washer/dryer which has a protrusion that provides the laundry to be moved from back to front and the washing and drying performance of which are increased.
  • the washing machine or laundry washer/dryer (1) comprises a drum (4) wherein the laundry is placed, having a cylindrical body (2) and a circular rear wall (3) covering the rear surface of the body (2) and one or more than one baffle (5) disposed on the rear wall (3), extending from the center of the rear wall (3) towards the outer periphery of the rear wall (3) and which forms a protrusion (6) inside the drum (4) ( Figure 1 ).
  • the washing machine or laundry washer/dryer (1) of the present invention furthermore comprises at least one protrusion (6)
  • the laundry moves inside the drum (4) by rotating with the rotation of the drum (4).
  • the protrusion (6) By means of the protrusion (6), the laundry is provided to be moved from back to front and to be separated as layers.
  • the laundry that impacts the protrusion (6) move away from each other and the laundry is provided to be effectively mixed inside the drum (4).
  • the laundry is provided to contact effectively with detergent and water in the washing step and washing performance is increased.
  • the washing machine or laundry washer/dryer (1) comprises one or more than one compartment (7) that remains between the baffles (5).
  • the rear wall (3) is divided by means of the baffles (5) and the compartments (7) are formed between the baffles (5).
  • a form is provided on the rear wall (3), which provides the loads to be carried more effectively.
  • the protrusion (6) provides the laundry to be separated into layers and to change places inside the drum (4) during washing ( Figure 2, Figure 3 , Figure 4 ).
  • the protrusion (6) is shaped as a curve.
  • the protrusion (6) is disposed around the center of the rear wall (3).
  • the protrusion (6) contributes to the movement of the laundry inside the drum (4).
  • the laundry is provided to change places by moving parallel to the movement of the drum (4) and the contact of the laundry with detergent and water is increased ( Figure 1 ).
  • the protrusion (6) is shaped as a spiral.
  • the protrusion (6) prevents the laundry from gathering in the center by forming different impacting surfaces on the rear wall (3) for the laundry.
  • the laundry is provided to move away from each other by impacting the protrusion (6).
  • the protrusion (6) provides increase in the rubbing effect on the laundry, thus improving the washing performance.
  • the laundry placed in the drum (4) is prevented from moving symmetrically like a single piece ( Figure 4 ).
  • the protrusion (6) is shaped as a ring.
  • the protrusion (6) forms an impacting surface for the laundry.
  • the laundry is prevented from being processed as a single piece inside the drum (4) by clinging to each other.
  • the protrusion (6) provides the laundry to be moved from back to front and to be mixed inside the drum (4) during the rotation of the drum (4) ( Figure 3 ).
  • the protrusion (6) is concentric with the rear wall (3) center.
  • the protrusion (6) is not concentric with the rear wall (3) center.
  • the center of movement of the drum (4) and the center of movement of the protrusion (6) being different provides the movement directions of the laundry to be differentiated.
  • the symmetrical movement of the laundry towards the center of the rear wall (3) by the movement of the drum (4) is disrupted and the laundry is provided to be distributed.
  • the protrusion (6) and the rear wall (3) are produced separately.
  • the protrusion (6) is fixed on the rear wall (3) by methods such as welding, screwing etc.
  • the protrusion (6) is formed on the rear wall (3) by the deep drawing method.
  • a form is provided on the rear wall (3), which provides the loads to be carried more effectively.
  • the protrusion (6) is produced as a single piece together with the rear wall (3) and the baffles (5).
  • the height of the portion of the protrusion (6) that passes over the baffle (5) is less than the height of the portion of the protrusion (6) that passes over the compartments (7).
  • the protrusion (6) that functions as a second body (2) on the rear wall (3) provides the laundry to be mixed more inside the drum (4) ( Figure 3 ).
  • the portions of the protrusion (6) that face the inside of the drum (4) are shaped by rounding.
  • the laundry is prevented from being damaged due to the protrusion (6) ( Figure 4 ).
  • a washing machine or laundry washer/dryer (1) which comprises a protrusion (6) that prevents the laundry from gathering in the center of the real wall (3) and provides the laundry to be separated from each other during the rotation of the drum (4).
  • a protrusion (6) that prevents the laundry from gathering in the center of the real wall (3) and provides the laundry to be separated from each other during the rotation of the drum (4).
