Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bearer for detecting dryness, and a washer-dryer operating in interaction with said bearer.
  • washer-dryers during drying process, parameters of the laundry items in a drum such as dryness, temperature, etc. have to be measured precisely and accurately.
  • the duration of drying process depends on the laundry items reaching the accurate levels of dryness and temperature, and upon reaching of said levels drying process is terminated.
  • Various sensors are provided on washer-dryers, enabling measuring parameters such as conductivity, temperature, humidity, etc., and the washer-dryer is controlled by means of the data received from such sensors.
  • conductivity is measured during drying process and drying process is terminated according to this measurement.
  • Conductivity is measured by means of two electrodes stably placed at the front portion of a drum. During drying process, the conductivity value of the laundry items can be measured when the laundry items in the drum contact said electrodes.
  • Laundry items are more conductive in humid state.
  • the conductivity of the laundry items decreases as it dries and loses its humidity.
  • the conductivity of only the laundry items contacting the electrodes can be measured during drying.
  • the possibility of the electrodes contacting the laundry items significantly decreases when there is a small amount of laundry items in the drum which are not distributed homogeneously, thereby making it more difficult to determine drying. In this case, drying process is terminated by a timer. This, however, leads to drying process not being fully performed or the laundry items being thermally damaged by being over-dried.
  • the aim of the present invention is to realize a bearer for detecting dryness, and a washer-dryer operating in interaction with said bearer.
  • the bearer realized to achieve the aim of the present invention and disclosed in the first claim and the dependent claims, is placed in the drum together with the laundry items, moves freely in the drum with the laundry items, enables parameters relating to dryness of the laundry items such as humidity, temperature, dryness to be measured precisely and accurately by contacting all of the laundry items in the drum, and comprises at least one battery, a base, a seat with an open top provided on the base, in which the battery is placed, at least one support at least partially surrounding the portion of the battery disposed out of the seat, and which comprises at least one arch applying pressure in parallel to the support on the portion of the battery disposed out of the seat.
  • a retainer comprises two supports which are parallel to each other, with a given distance in between.
  • the arch is disposed between two supports.
  • the support and the arch partially surround the wall of the battery disposed out of the seat.
  • the retainer comprises a first flange and a second flange provided on both ends of the support and the arch, enabling the retainer to be fastened to the base.
  • the bearer comprises a slit provided on one side of the seat, into which the first flange disposed on an end of the retainer enters.
  • the slit is quadrangular.
  • the first flange is shaped as a cascade, and the first flange passes through said slit and abuts the base from below.
  • the bearer comprises a hole provided on the other side of the seat, by means of which the second flange is fastened, and a fastening member enabling fastening the second flange to said hole.
  • the arch has a more flexible structure compared to the support.
  • the battery is thus enabled to be kept in the seat without vibrating and being effected from movement of the bearer.
  • the arch is made of a polymer material.
  • the force exerted on the battery can be varied by using different polymer materials.
  • the battery is placed in the seat on the base.
  • the first flange is passed through the slit and the supports and the arch extend from one side of the battery to the other side so as to contact the battery wall.
  • the second flange correspondingly rests in full on the hole provided on the base.
  • the battery and the retainer are completely assembled to the bearer.
  • the invention prevents the battery disposed in the bearer moving freely inside the washer-dryer, from being effected from said movement of the bearer.
  • the retainer enables keeping the battery stationary in the seat without vibrating.
  • the energy needs of the bearer and the components provided therein are supplied by at least one battery positioned in the bearer and used as a power supply.
  • the bearer is shaped as a hollow chamber, and in the preferred embodiment, it consists of two parts, namely the upper and lower parts, and is preferably shaped as a sphere.
  • the two parts, namely the lower and the upper parts are coupled to each other by means of the base. In this state, the base is interposed between the upper and the lower parts.
  • the invention also relates to a washer-dryer adapted to operate in interaction with the bearer.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a washer-dryer.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a bearer and electrodes.
  • Figure 3 is an exploded view of a battery, the base, fastening member and the retainer.
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the retainer from above.
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the retainer from below.
  • Figure 6 is a combined view of the retainer and the battery fastened on the base, from above.
  • Figure 7 is a combined view of the retainer and the battery fastened on the base, from below.
  • the bearer (3) suitable for being used with a washer-dryer (1) having a drum (2) in which the laundry items are placed comprises at least two electrodes (14) used for detecting dryness of the laundry items by contacting the laundry items inside the drum (2), a control unit in which the dryness information detected by the electrodes (14) is evaluated, at least one battery (4), a base (5), a seat (7) with an open top, provided on the base (5), in which the battery (4) is placed, and a retainer (6) having at least one support (8) at least partially surrounding the portion of the battery (4) disposed out of the seat (7) and at least one arch (9) exerting pressure on the portion of the battery (4) disposed out of the seat (7) ( Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3).
