Description
- The present invention relates to a resistance for washing machine of the type specified in the preamble to the first claim.
- The object of the present invention is a resistance, which is mainly, but not exclusively, used inside a household appliance such as a washing machine or a tumble dryer in which a liquid or a gas needs to be brought to a desired temperature.
- As is well known, the resistance is an electronic component that enables an electrical resistance to be introduced into a branch of an electrical network. One consequence of the action of this component is the Joule effect which, by causing the component's temperature to rise, makes it usable as a heating element. Indeed, resistances are components that are also widely used in thermal applications. These resistances consist of the actual resistive element, which is typically made of metal material, and the connection means to the electrical network, which must necessarily be made of a material with high electrical conductivity.
- These components allow fluid media, such as air or water, to be heated when in contact with them. Thus, they can easily be used in various types of household appliances. The known technique described includes some major drawbacks. The main drawback is the high energy expenditure that characterises the operation of this type of component.
- In particular, the heat is exchanged between the resistance and the fluid in a short time, leading to rapid cooling of the resistance once it is no longer in use. This phenomenon does not allow optimal use of the energy expended to operate the device.
- In this situation, the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to devise a resistance which substantially obviates at least part of the aforementioned drawbacks.
- In this situation, the technical task underlying this invention is to devise a resistance that allows you to substantially remedy at least part of the cited inconveniences.
- In the context of this technical task, it is an important purpose of the invention to obtain a resistance that allows at least one partial recovery of the residual thermal energy of the resistance to use ceased for any reuse of the appliance in which it finds application. Furthermore, a further purpose of the invention is to achieve resistance which, in the face of high efficiency, allows to reduce the energy expenditure of the appliance on which it is used.
- The specified technical task and purposes are achieved by a resistance as claimed in the appended
claim 1. - Preferred technical solutions are highlighted in the dependent claims.
- The features and advantages of the invention are hereinafter clarified by the detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
- the
Fig. 1 illustrates a longitudinal sectional view of a resistance according to the invention; and - the
Fig. 2 illustrates an example of a washing machine comprising a resistance according to the invention. - In the present document, the measurements, values, shapes and geometric references (such as perpendicularity and parallelism), when associated with words like "about" or other similar terms such as "approximately" or "substantially", are to be considered as except for measurement errors or inaccuracies due to production and/or manufacturing errors, and, above all, except for a slight divergence from the value, measurements, shape, or geometric reference with which it is associated. For instance, these terms, if associated with a value, preferably indicate a divergence of not more than 10% of the value.
- Moreover, when used, terms such as "first", "second", "higher", "lower", "main" and "secondary" do not necessarily identify an order, a priority of relationship or a relative position, but can simply be used to clearly distinguish between their different components.
- Unless otherwise specified, as results in the following discussions, terms such as "treatment", "computing", "determination", "calculation", or similar, refer to the action and/or processes of a computer or similar electronic calculation device that manipulates and/or transforms data represented as physical, such as electronic quantities of registers of a computer system and/or memories in, other data similarly represented as physical quantities within computer systems, registers or other storage, transmission or information displaying devices.
- The measurements and data reported in this text are to be considered, unless otherwise indicated, as performed in the International Standard Atmosphere ICAO (ISO 2533:1975).
- With reference to the Figures cited, the resistance per washing machine according to the invention is globally indicated by the
number 1. - The
resistance 1 is preferably used inside a washing machine. However, this does not preclude the use of theheating element 1 also in other household appliances possibly also for purposes other than those subsequently better described. - The
resistance 1 comprises, for the most part, at least one resistive element 2. - The resistive element 2 is preferably the element of the
resistance 1 that emits heat during operation in the established configuration. Therefore, the resistive element 2 is preferably made of a metal material. - Furthermore, the resistive element 2 may include further features.
- In detail, the resistive element 2 may comprise a
body 20. Thebody 20 may be a long or stubby element, possibly also hollow and/or tubular. Preferably, thebody 20 develops along apredetermined trajectory 2a. - The
predetermined trajectory 2a may be a straight trajectory. Or it may be curved, or even only partially curved, and may have several curvature zones. - In particular, the
predetermined trajectory 2a may be U-shaped, as for example shown inFig.1 or, thebody 20 may develop as a serpentine, between parallel portions and connecting curves. - In any case, preferably, the
body 20 develops along thepredetermined direction 2a between afirst end 21 and asecond end 22. - The
first end 21 and thesecond end 22 are essentially free ends, or boundaries, of thebody 20. Thus, in other words. The body may be an elongated element starting at thefirst end 21 and ending at thesecond end 22. - The
strength 1 further comprises connection means 3. - The connection means 3 are preferably connected to the resistive element 2. The connection means 3, in particular, are configured to allow the resistive element 2 to connect to an external electrical network. Suitably, the connection means 3 are capable of operatively connecting the resistive element 2 with the external electrical network. The connection means 3 preferably comprise materials with high electrical conductivity. Furthermore, in more detail, the connection means 3 may comprise a
first connector 30 and asecond connector 31. - The
first connector 30 and thesecond connector 31 are substantially electrical connectors, i.e., capable of flowing an electrical current from an external electrical circuit to a device connected to theconnectors - Thus, for example, the
first connector 30 may be an input connector, while thesecond connector 31 may be an output connector, or vice versa. - Preferably, the
first connector 30 is arranged at thefirst end 21 of thebody 20. Thesecond connector 31 is, on the other hand, arranged at thesecond end 22 of thebody 20. - Thus, the
connectors respective end - The
resistance 1 advantageously comprises acover layer 4. - The
cover layer 4 is preferably surrounding the resistive element 2. In addition, thecover layer 4 performs the function of attenuating the dispersion of the thermal energy stored by the resistive element 2, for example at the end of use of the latter. The advantage of this solution is that the thermal energy not dissipated byresistance 1 can later be reused. - Therefore, the
cover layer 4 is preferably made of refractory material. - In particular, the
cover layer 4 may be in a refractory material of choice between zirconia or steatite. - The
cover layer 4 can be, in a preferred configuration, a coating arranged around the resistive element 2 and in contact with it. This configuration optimises the performance of the function of attenuating the heat loss of the resistive element 2 by thecover layer 4. Alternatively, and as further specified below, the cover layer may be arranged around the resistive element without being in contact with it. This alternative configuration may be useful, for example, in the case where, during operation, theresistive element 1 is subjected to such temperature excursions that the expansion of the materials is not negligible. - In addition, the
cover layer 4 may entirely surround the resistive element 2, i.e. over the entire extent of its surface. This configuration allows for the most effective action of thecover layer 4. However, in an alternative configuration, thecover layer 4 may also only partially surround the resistive element 2. - The
resistive element 1 may comprise anintermediate layer 5. - If present, the intermediate layer is placed between the resistive element 2 and the
cover layer 4. Thisintermediate layer 5 has the function of reducing the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between thecover layer 4 and the resistive element 2. Theintermediate layer 5 may be exactly interposed between thecover layer 4 and the resistive element 2, thus being in contact with both thecover layer 4 and the resistive element 2 and, in fact, separating them. - Alternatively, the
intermediate layer 5 may be positioned between thecover layer 4 and the resistive element 2, but spaced apart from one or more of them. - Preferably, in the configuration in which the
intermediate layer 5 is in contact with thecover layer 4 and the resistive element 2, theintermediate layer 5 comprises a material that performs the function of an adhesive. In detail, it may be formulated to work at temperatures between room temperature and a maximum temperature of 750°C. - In the configuration in which the
intermediate layer 5 is not in contact with thecover layer 4 and/or theresistive element 5, theheating element 1 preferably comprises aseparation layer 6. - In general, the
separation layer 6 may be present in theresistance 1 even in the absence of anintermediate layer 5. - Therefore, if present, the
separation layer 6 is, in general, arranged between the resistive element 2 and thecover layer 4 and realises a separation space at least between them. - If, however, the
intermediate layer 5 is also present, in particular, theseparation layer 6 may be arranged between the resistive element 2 and theintermediate layer 5 and/or between theintermediate layer 5 and thecover layer 4. - Preferably, in any case, the
separation layer 6 is a space occupied by an inert gas at a pressure preferably below 1 Atm. - The inert gas occupying the
separation layer 6 may preferably be one of a choice of argon or nitrogen. - As mentioned above, the
separation layer 6 may be an alternative or an addition to theintermediate layer 5. - The processes by which the
cover layer 4 can be arranged on the resistive element 2 or theintermediate layer 5 respectively are preferably a deposition or a sintering process. These techniques result in a continuous coating, which optimises the thermal barrier properties of thecover layer 4. - One application for
resistance 1 is as a water heating element in the basket of a washing machine. Therefore, theheating element 1 according to the invention enables a new washing machine 10 to be realised. - The washing machine 10 essentially comprises the
heating element 1. - More in detail, as already mentioned, the washing machine 10 comprises a containment chamber of a spin-drying basket including the
heating element 1. - The
heating element 1 according to the invention enables important advantages to be obtained. - The
heating element 1 makes it possible to achieve at least partial recovery of residual heat energy. - In particular, when the

heating element 1, has reduced energy consumption compared to existing washing machines, being able to reuse the thermal energy stored by theheating element 1. - The invention is susceptible to variations within the scope of the inventive concept as defined by the claims.
- As partly explained above, the variants in which the
intermediate layer 5 and theseparation layer 6 are present can be combined to give rise to further configurations. A first further variant is configured in such a way that thecover layer 4 is separated from theintermediate layer 5 by theseparation layer 6. Thus, theintermediate layer 5 covers the resistive element 2. - A second further variant is configured so that the
cover layer 4 is in direct contact with theintermediate layer 5, and between theintermediate layer 5 and the resistive element 2 is theseparation layer 6. - Within this scope all details are replaceable by equivalent elements, the shapes and dimensions can be any.
