Description
- The present invention relates to a laundry washer-dryer having a tub produced from plastic material.
- In laundry washer-dryers, washing and drying processes are realized by placing the laundry into a drum moving in the tub. The tub is produced from rigid thermoplastic material such as polyethylene or polypropylene due its high chemical resistance values and low costs. The drum makes rotational movement in the tub. The unbalanced load caused by the laundry in the drum and the forces generated during the spin-drying step of the laundry washer-dryer strain the tub. Especially the surrounding area around the hub where the shaft rotating the drum is borne in the ball bearing in the tub is subjected to mechanical loads, thus causing wear or cracking risks in time. At least the rear wall of the tub is required to be produced from materials with high mechanical strength, which increases the production costs.

the rear wall of the tub are provided with inner radial ribs which are in the form of a hyperbolic open curve, which have a curved section and two symmetrical arms which extend symmetrically in the radial direction from the vertex of the curved section towards the tub on the inside, and which are positioned all around the hub. Outer radial ribs which are again in the form of a hyperbolic open curve and which have arms extending from inside to the outside in a direction opposite to the inner radial ribs. - The laundry washer-dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention is illustrated in the attached figures, where:
-
Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a laundry washer-dryer. -
Figure 2 - is the schematic view of the rear wall of the tub. -
Figure 3 - is the schematic view of the rib structure on the rear wall of the tub. -

- The laundry washer-dryer (1) comprises a drum (2) which is rotated around the horizontal axis by a motor (13) and wherein the laundry is placed, a shaft (14) which transmits the movement received from the motor (13) to the drum (2), and a tub (5) wherein the drum (2) moves, which is produced from plastic (rigid thermoplastic) and which has a circular front wall with the laundry loading opening arranged at the center thereof, a cylindrical side wall, a circular rear wall (3) and a hub (4) which is arranged at the rear wall (3) and where the shaft (14) is borne with the ball bearing (15).
- The laundry washer-dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a plurality of inner radial ribs (9)
- which are produced from plastic and integrated onto the tub (5) rear wall (3),
- which is in the form of a hyperbolic open curve of which the hyperbolic cosine function is defined as "hyperbolic cosine function : f(x) = cosh (x)",
- which has a curved section (6) and two symmetrical arms (8) symmetrically extending inwardly from the vertex (7) of the curved section (6) in the radial direction, and
- which are positioned all around the hub (4) (
Figure 4 ). - The concave surfaces of the curved sections (6) of the inner radial ribs (9) face the hub (4). The arms (8) of the inner radial ribs (9) extend on the rear wall (3) from the curved sections (6) towards the hub (4) from outside to inside.
- The laundry washer-dryer (1) furthermore comprises a plurality of outer radial ribs (10)
- which are produced from plastic and integrated onto the tub (5) rear wall (3),
- which are in the form of a hyperbolic open curve,
- which has the common or adjacent vertices (7) with inner radial ribs (9), the curved sections (6) positioned back to back with the curved sections (6) of the inner radial ribs (9) and two symmetrical arms (8) extending outwardly from the vertices (7) in a direction opposite to the inner radial ribs (9) and towards the outer circumference of the rear wall (3) (
