Definitions
- the present invention relates to washing machine, particularly a top-loading washer, comprising a tub with an access opening, a perforated drum rotatably mounted within said tub about a horizontal axis and having an aperture on its cylindrical side, a drum door slidably supported by the drum for opening or closing said aperture following a predetermined rotation of the drum, and catching means supported by the tub and configured to selectively engage said slidable drum door in order to open or close it.
- the automatic opening mechanism of the drum must reflect the same requirements as well.
- said catching means comprises electromagnets with plungers which cooperate directly with an edge portion of the sliding door, and this solution need a considerable amount of space which reduces the overall capacity of the arrangement tub/drum.
- EP 0 048 643 A1 discloses a top-loading washing machine in which the drum door is slidably supported by the drum and in which a complex mechanical locking system is used for blocking the door in the closed configuration.
- EP 1 548 170 A1 discloses a door for a top-loading washing machine having to flaps, a first one being hinged to an edge of the drum opening and a second one hinged to the first flap.
- JP H01 317488 A discloses a top-loading washing machine according to the preamble of claim 1, where the drum door is slidable so that an aperture part can be opened and closed on the outer circumference of the revolving drum.
- US 5 437 168 A discloses a top-loading horizontal axis washer with improved accessibility to the wash basket interior.
- US 2003/061841 A1 discloses a washing machine having a drum opening with a drum door composed of a double door opening frontward and backward.
- US 2007/227199 A1 discloses a top-loading washing machine with a door locking device which is configured to move relative to the drum and the drum door when the drum is in a fixed position.
- the drum door comprises a flap hinged to an edge of the aperture of the drum and having first engaging portions configured to cooperate with corresponding second engaging portions of the sliding door.
- the catching means comprises a rotating member with at least a cam surface configured to cooperate with said flap in order to rotate it, in an opening configuration of the drum door, and to disengage said first engaging portions from said second engaging portions.
- the catching means comprises at least a linear actuator, for instance a plunger moved by an electric motor, oriented radially with reference to the drum.
- the solution according to the invention is an automatic system having a high mechanical reliability that, at the end of the washing cycle, is capable of opening the door of the drum without any manual intervention of the user.
- the drum is already open and allows the user to take out the laundry without the need to open the drum door manually.
- the drum is already open and it closes automatically when the washing machine is operated.
- the rotating member presents a first cam surface for acting on the flap in order to rotate it and disengage it from the sliding door and a second cam surface in order to engage a corresponding portion of the sliding drum door in order to keep it in a predetermined position with reference to the tub.
- the relative movement between the flap and the sliding door in order to disengage them and maintaining the sliding door in a fixed predetermined position during the rotation of the drum (in the opening sequence of the door) is driven by at least one linear actuator.
- a drum 10 of a top loading washer W comprises a stainless steel cylindrical wrapper 10a provided with a rectangular drum opening 12 provided with a door 14.
- the drum 10 is rotating within a plastic tub T mounted, with the interposition of known dampers, within a cabinet C.
- Such cabinet is provided with a lid L for closing the access opening towards the drum 10.
- the door 14 of the drum 10 comprises a sliding part 14a and a rotating flap 14b whose rotation is allowed only towards the inside of the drum 10 by abutting parts of the drum (not shown).
- a spring urges the rotating flap 14b towards the position shown in figure 1 .
- the structural continuity of the drum mantle is guaranteed during the spin extraction by the chain formed by a hinge rod of the rotating flap 14b, the flap 14b itself, hooks 16 of the flap 14b engaging corresponding slots 18 of the sliding part 14a, the sliding part 14a itself and a connecting rod 20 ( figures 1 and 2a ) of the sliding part 14a.
- a safety device 22 ( figure 4 ) is necessary to prevent accidental openings during the tumbling of the drum (in the spin the centrifugal force is more than enough to prevent the opening) and to ensure a correct closure at the end of the loading / unloading sequence. It is generally done with a specially shaped spring operated pushbutton or lever.
- the automatic opening system must satisfy the same kind of requirements as the manual system, since it must stand to the same kind of stress. It is so necessary to guarantee the continuity of the structural chain, the safety of the closure and, of course, it has to be completely automatic.
- the metallic rod 20 (stainless steel typically) is fixed to the drum wrapper 10a, and offers to the sliding part 14a a solid anchor point for several auxiliary hooks 22 ( figure 2b ) formed bending the door metal.
- hooks 22 in combination with the rod 20, allow the movement of the sliding lid in the direction of the opening, but prevent the movement in the direction of the closure and so the disengagement of the lid from its guides ( figures 2a-2b ).
- the drum opening 12 is closed and a number of actions must be executed.
- the drum must be rotated in the correct position with the opening in an upper position, but not yet in the load/unload position. Then, it is necessary to disengage the safety device ( figure 5 ).
- the relative movement of the drum 10 vis a vis the sliding part 14a causes the opening of the sliding part 14a and the positioning of the drum access, matching the opening of the external lid (not shown) of the washer (upper position).
- the drum 10 rotates to close the sliding part 14a that is still kept in the same position.
- a specific upper profile 26 of the sliding part 14a ( figure 7 ) drives the rotating flap 14b to slide below the sliding part 14a.
- the rotating flap 14b is released and the hooks 16 on it can go inside the slots 18 in the sliding part 14a.
- the safety device 22 is released and thanks to a spring moves back to the safety position.
- the sliding part 14a is released and the washer is now ready to start with a new washing cycle.
- the preferred one implies the use of a rotating member 30 with a complex cam shaft supported by the tub (T) and operated by a motor M.
- the rotating axis of the rotating member 30 is oriented substantially tangentially with reference to the wrapper 10a of the drum 10. In this way the space dedicated to the rotating member is much smaller when compared to similar device of the prior art.
- the motor M of the rotating member 30 is controlled in a way that the position is well determined at every relevant step of the correct opening sequence.
- FIGS 3a-3d there are shown different views the rotating member 30 with the cam set capable to manage the complex of operations necessary to open the drum 10.
- the cam 30b has an internal profile rather than an external one.
- the starting position of the opening sequence (after the correct positioning of the drum) is shown in figures 1 and 4 .
- the opening sequence is as follows: The rotating member 30 starts to rotate and cam 30a pushes down the sliding part 14a and through it also the swiveling flap 14b that is below. This limited rotation of the sliding part 14a is allowed since such part of the door 14 is configured to slide in side guides of side walls of the drum that have a predetermined width larger that the thickness of the sliding part 14a.
- the cam 30b of the rotating member 30 engages on its inside a protrusion 32 on the sliding part 14a. This will prevent further movement downwards. At the same time, it opens the safety device 22 ( figure 5 ).
- the drum can be rotated to the load/unload position.
- the cam 30b keeps firmly in position the sliding part 14a of the drum door 14 allowing the opening of the drum. Now the washer can be unloaded safely.
- the user loads the washer drum 10 that is in the open status.
- the drum 10 must be now closed again before starting any other operation of the washing machine.
- the motor rotates the drum in a direction that is the opposite of the opening direction.
- a couple of profiles 26 on the rotating flap 14b drives such flap to move down (towards the centre of the drum 10) in a way that allows the correct positioning of the hooks 16 right below the corresponding slots 18 and below the cam 30c ( figure 7 ).
- the flap 14b is now kept down by the cam 30c.
- the rotating member 30 rotates in the opposite direction than when opening, making the reverse series of operation.
- the cam 30c releases the flap 14b, allowing the engagement of the hooks 16, the cam 30b releases the sliding part 14a and the safety device 22, preventing any accidental opening and at last the cam 30a frees the sliding part 14b allowing the normal rotation of the drum so that the washing cycle cab be started.
- a second embodiment of the invention in which a couple of linear actuators are used, driving a couple of rods, mounted in radial direction with reference to the drum.
- FIGs 8 and 9 show the structure of the solution with two linear actuators 50 which are supported by the tub T.
- Each actuator 50 comprises an electric motor which, by means of a gear, drives a plunger 50a or 50b.
- the plunger 50a is placed on a side of the cylindrical wall of the drum 10 and is passing in an opening provided in the sliding part 14a of the door 14.
- the plunger 50b is placed centrally with reference to said cylindrical wall, and is passing in another opening of the sliding part 14a.
- the construction of the actuators 50 is compact if compared to linear actuators of prior art.
- the opening sequence, according to this solution is the following.
- the plunger 50b is operated and enters in the opening of the sliding part 14a of the door 14, in order to release the safety device.
- the plunger 50b continues its travel, pushing down the two parts of the door, i.e. the sliding part 14a and the rotating flap 14b. This extra run is necessary because (as in the case of the cams described with reference to the first embodiment) is the only way to allow the disengagement of the hooks 16 of the swiveling flap 14b from the slots 18 of the sliding part 14a.
- the plunger 50a is sequentially operated and, passing through the respective hole in the sliding part, pushes down furthermore the swiveling flap 14b, disengaging the hooks 16. Then the drum 10 starts to rotate, while the rod 50b keeps in place the sliding part 14a preventing its rotation an causing the opening of the drum.
- the plunger 50a (now useless) is then immediately moved up to allow the free rotation of the drum 10 until a specific recess is positioned exactly below it. Once the drum reaches the position of the maximum opening, the motor of the washing machine is stopped and the plunger 50a is operated again. It reaches, passing through the hole of the sliding lid 14a, a recess in the drum structure (not shown) preventing any further rotation of the drum 10 and allowing the safe loading and / or unloading of the clothes. Once the loading of the washer is completed, in order to execute the washing cycle the drum 10 must be closed. First, the plunger 50a is lifted, disengaging the drum 10 and allowing its rotation. The drum then starts to rotate in order to close the sliding door 14. The sliding part 14a of the door 14 is still kept in position by the plunger 50b. The plunger 50b keeps also open the safety device.
- the plunger 50a Since the plunger 50a is not in position to keep down the swiveling lid 14 b, thanks to a couple of springs the swiveling lid, once reached the final position, is pushed up and allows its hooks 16 to engage the corresponding slots 18 on the sliding part 14a of the door 14. The plunger 50b is then lifted, releasing the safety device, allowing the safe closure of the drum 10 and allowing the execution of the washing cycle.
- Advantages of such embodiment are the possibility to adjust for tolerances in the assembling by biasing the position of the plunger 50a, 50b with the control and the possibility to apply such solution on both belt driven and direct drive driving system for the drum rotation.
- actuators 50 are compact and are completely hidden, so they do not interfere with the tub and drum openings.
