Description

A LAUNDRY WASHER-DRYER WHEREIN THE TUB IS PREVENTED
FROM HITTING THE BODY
The present invention relates to a washer-dryer whereof the movable parts are prevented from hitting the body. In laundry washer-dryers, the tub that is described as the dynamic system and the motor that is used for rotating the drum in the tub make oscillatory movements depending on the state of the load and the rotational speed. In the direct drive laundry washer-dryers wherein the motor rotates the drum by means of the belt- pulley mechanism or the drum takes the movement from the shaft of the motor, the motor and the drum are fixed to each other and make oscillatory movements together. The dynamic system is connected to the body with absorption elements and the oscillatory movement generated by the effect of the load is considerably balanced. In order to prevent the motor and the tub from hitting the body as a result of the axial oscillation, a certain distance is left between the body of the laundry washer-dryer and the rear surface of the tub and the motor shaft. However, in case where space is limited, when the motor shaft and the tub make axial oscillatory movements with high amplitude, the motor shaft and the tub may hit and damage the body and moreover cause the noise level to increase.
In the state of the art United States Patent No. US5887455, a vibration absorption means disposed between the outer body and the tub and a noise decreasing device disposed on the vibration absorption means are disclosed.
In the state of the art European Patent No. EP1751341, a bumper is disclosed, that is mounted on the rear wall of the tub so as to limit the movement of the drive group and that is mounted on the tub by means of a screw and a washer group. In this state of the art embodiment the bumpers that prevent the tub from hitting the body is produced from rubber, EPDM or TPE material and these bumpers are fixed to the tub by means of screws. Mounting the bumper to the tub by means of screws causes disadvantage in terms of labor, time and cost. The aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry washer-dryer wherein the tub that makes oscillatory movements due to the load effect is prevented from hitting the body or the hitting force is absorbed during the operation. The 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 a washer that is placed by being embedded into the bumper produced from rubber or plastic and mounted on bosses behind the tub, that is produced from spring steel, and that comprises retainers that bear against the boss whereto the bumper is mounted and thus prevent the bumper from dislodging from the boss, hence from the tub.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the washer is placed in the bumper by being embedded into the ring-shaped slot bored all around the inner surface of the channel in the bumper. In another embodiment of the present invention, the bumper is produced by being integrated with the washer in the plastic injection mold. Holes that help the washer to better hold onto the bumper material are provided in the washer.
In another embodiment of the present invention, claws are provided on the retainers in the washer. The said claws enable the washer to be mounted to the boss in a stronger manner.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the washer comprises semicircular rim cut-outs that are bored at the outer rim thereof.
In the laundry washer-dryer of the present invention, saving is provided in labor in terms of screwing in order to mount the bumper to the tub. The laundry washer-dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:

The laundry washer-dryer (1) comprises a body (2) that encloses operating components; a drum (3) wherein the laundry is placed; a motor (4) that drives the drum (3); a tub (7) wherein the drum (3) moves and that has a rear wall (5) and one or more than one boss (6) that is disposed on the rear wall (5) and that extends towards the body (2); and one or more than one cylindrical bumper (9) that prevents the tub (7) from hitting the body (2) or absorb the hitting effect generated due to unbalanced load or high rotational speed during the operation, that is produced from polymer material like elastomer, rubber and plastic, that has a cylindrical channel (8) that extends at the center thereof, at least partially along the axis (E) thereof and that is mounted to the tub (7) by being fitted over the boss
(6) by means of the channel (8) (Figure 1).
The laundry washer-dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a ring-shaped washer (13) that is produced from spring steel and that has a circular outer rim (10) that is placed in the bumper (9) by being embedded all around into the inner wall of the channel (8), a cut-out (11) disposed at the center thereof and through which the boss (6) passes and one or more than one retainer (12) that extends from the edge of the cut-out (11) towards the center of the cut out (11) in the radial direction and that prevents the bumper (9) from being detached from the boss (6) by bearing against the boss (6) (Figure 3, 4, 5).
The bumper (9), together with the washer (13) that is disposed therein, is mounted on the boss (6) that extends towards the body (2) from the rear wall (5) of the tub
(7) . During this process, the retainers (12) at the center of the washer (13) bear against the lateral surface of the boss (6) and the bumper (9) is prevented from being detached from the boss (6) due to a force in opposite direction. Thus, the bumper (9) is mounted to the tub (7) without the use of connection elements like the screw etc. and cost and labor saving is provided.
The washer (13) is disposed in the bumper (9) so as to be concentric with the bumper (9) and the outer rim (10) is embedded into the wall of the channel (8). The retainers (12) that are disposed at the center of the washer (13) extend towards the channel (8) axis (E) at the center of the bumper (9). When the washer (13) is disposed in the bumper (9), the bumper (9) is mounted to the tub (7) by the operator so that the boss (6) engages with the channel (8). The boss (6) that enters the channel (8) pushes and stretches the retainers (12) in the axial direction while passing through the cut-out (11) and passes through the center of the retainers (12). When the assembly is completed, the retainers (12) bear against and apply pressure on the boss (6) and slightly compress the boss (6). Thus, the washer (13) that is fixed to the boss (6) by means of the retainers (12), hence the bumper (9) wherein the washer (13) is integrated is fixed to the rear wall (5) of the tub (7) so as not to be dislodged.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the washer (13) is disposed in the bumper (9) by embedding the outer rim (10) thereof into a ring-shaped recess (not shown in the figures) that is bored all around the inner surface of the channel (8). In this embodiment, the washer (13) - bumper (9) connection is improved by adding adhesive to the said recess.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the bumper (9) is produced in the plastic injection mold by being injected on the washer (13) so as to enclose the outer rim (10) all around.
In another embodiment of the present invention, the washer (13) comprises one or more than one hole (14) that is filled with the polymer material that the bumper (9) is produced from during the injection process and that help the washer (13) to hold onto the bumper better whereon the washer (13) is injected (Figure 7, 8). In another embodiment of the present invention, the retainers (12) extend towards the boss (6) in an angular manner in a direction opposite to the direction the bumper (9) is mounted to the boss (6). Thus, the bumper (9) that is mounted to the boss (6) is prevented from dislodging without damaging the boss (6) (Figure 8, 12, 15). In another embodiment of the present invention, the washer (13) comprises one or more than rim cut-out (15) for example in semi-circular form, that is bored at the outer rim (10) thereof. The rim cut outs (15) enable the washer (13) to better hold onto the interior of the bumper (9) and prevent the washer (13) from rotating around its own axis in the channel (8) (Figure 4). In another embodiment of the present invention, the washer (13) comprises at least two claws (16) that are disposed at the end of each retainer (12). The claws (16) enable the retainers (12) in the washer (13) to better squeeze the boss (6), and in case a force is applied in the opposite direction, prevent the washer (13), thus the bumper (9) from being detached from the boss (6). In another embodiment of the present invention, the claws (16) at the end of the retainer (12) are in form of saw tooth so that the pointed ends thereof puncture the boss (6) (Figure 11, 12).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the portion of the channel (8) in the bumper (9) wherein the washer (13) is disposed has a wider diameter than the portion through which the boss (6) passes (Figure 18).
In another embodiment of the present invention, the washer (13) comprises a flange (17) that encloses the outer rim (10) thereof and that is seated at the portion of the channel (8) with the wide diameter (Figure 13, 14, 15). The flange (17) improves the connection of the washer (13) with the bumper (9) and facilitates the assembly thereof.
The tub (7) and hence the bosses (6) are produced from plastic material. Thus, the retainers (12) or the claws (16) disposed at the end of the retainers (12) that apply pressure on the bosses (6) penetrate into the boss (6) when the bumper (9) is tried to be dislodged from the boss (6) and prevent the dislodging of the bumper (9).
In the laundry washer-dryer (1) of the present invention, connection elements like screw, etc. are not used for the assembly of the bumper (9) to the tub (7), the need for a screwing process is eliminated and the production time decreases.
