Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a drum-type washing machine, and more particularly, to a drum-type washing machine employing a lift having a curved portion and a concave recess.
- 2. Discussion of the Related Art
- Generally speaking, laundering using a drum-type washing machine is carried out using a frictional force between the laundry and a rotating drum that receives the driving force of a motor. Such a method causes little damage to the laundry, prevents the laundry from getting tangled, and achieves such washing effects as beating and rubbing.
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a drum-type washing machine according to a related art, having a plurality oflifts 1 axially installed on the inner circumferential surface of a drum. An example of such a lift is shown inFIG. 2 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 , acylindrical drum 2 for holding and washing laundry is mounted within atub 8 for holding washing water, such that the drum lies parallel with respect to a foundation. Arotational shaft 7 is connected to thedrum 2 to rotate the drum forwardly and reversely, thereby enabling the laundry to be washed inside the drum. This rotating action results from a rotating force transferred to thedrum 2 using an electrical motion system made up of amotor 3 that drives abelt 5 linking a pair ofpulleys - Each
lift 1 has a regular trapezoidal cross-section, and when mounted on thedrum 2, extends in parallel with therotational shaft 7. In addition to the parallel configuration, eachlift 1 has a pair of inclined sides 1 a and 1 b that are substantially planar. - In the operation of a drum-type washing machine constructed as above, laundry is placed in the
drum 2, water is supplied to thetub 8, and therotational shaft 7, driven by themotor 3, rotates the drum. As thedrum 2 rotates, the laundry is lifted by at least one of thelifts 1, from a lower area of the drum's interior and up one side of the interior, until reaching a point where the inclined side 1 a or 1 b passes a plane level to the foundation, whereupon the lifted laundry falls back down to the drum's lower area. The laundry is thus washed by a combination of actions occurring in the washing water, including the drum's rotation and the laundry's lifting and falling. As thedrum 2 rotates, the laundry is lifted and falls to produce a sudsing action in the washing water. - In the drum-type washing machine according to the related art, the configuration of the inclined sides 1 a and 1 b, i.e., the parallel orientation and planar side surfaces, provide limited frictional force on the laundry. As a result, the lifting action is also limited, so that the laundry slides from the lift too soon, to fall only a short distance, which creates only a light sudsing action. Optimum washing, however, requires vigorous sudsing.
- As above, the lifting ability of the lifts of the drum-type washing machine of the related art is insufficient. Therefore, the washing performance of the drum-type washing machine of the related art is less than optimum.
- Accordingly, the present invention is directed to a drum-type washing machine having a lift that substantially obviates one or more problems due to limitations and disadvantages of the related art.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a drum-type washing machine employing a lift having a curved portion and a concave recess, by which washing performance is improved, washing time is decreased, and a vibration and noise occurring during high-speed operation is reduced.
- Additional advantages, objects, and features of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will become apparent to those having ordinary skill in the art upon examination of the following or may be learned from practice of the invention. The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the structure particularly pointed out in the specification and claims hereof as well as the appended drawings.
- To achieve these objects and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, there is provided a drum-type washing machine comprising: a drum for receiving laundry, the drum having an inner circumferential surface and being rotatable about a central axis; a rotational shaft coupled to the drum for transferring a rotational force to the drum; and a plurality of lifts mounted to the drum and installed at intervals around the inner circumferential surface, each lift having a predetermined length with respect to the central axis of the drum and having an overall curved configuration formed by a curved portion disposed toward the rotational shaft, the overall curved configuration consisting of an inner side and an outer side. The concave recess may be formed on one or both sides of the lift.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description of the present invention are exemplary and illustrative and are intended to provide further explanation of the invention as claimed.
- The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this application, illustrate embodiment(s) of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principle of the invention. In the drawings:
-
FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of a drum-type washing machine according to a related art; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a lift inFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of a drum-type washing machine having a plurality of lifts according to a first embodiment of the present invention; -
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of one of the lifts shown inFIG. 3 ; -
FIG. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of another drum-type washing machine, wherein the lifts according toFIG. 4 are mounted in an alternative configuration; and -
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a lift according to a second embodiment of the present invention. - Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Throughout the drawings, like elements are indicated using the same or similar reference designations where possible.
-
FIG. 3 illustrates a drum-type washing machine according to a first embodiment of the present invention, wherein a plurality of lifts are axially installed on an inner circumferential surface of a drum. An example of the lift is shown inFIG. 4 . - Referring to
FIG. 3 , adrum 20 having a cylindrical shape for receiving and washing laundry is mounted within atub 80 for holding washing water, such that the drum lies parallel with respect to a foundation. Arotational shaft 70 is connected to thedrum 20 to rotate the drum forwardly and reversely, thereby enabling to wash the laundry inside the drum. This rotating action results from a rotating force transferred to thedrum 20 using an electrical motion system made up of amotor 30 that drives abelt 50 linking a pair ofpulleys - Referring to
FIG. 4 , each of thelifts 10 has an overall curved configuration formed by a curved portion disposed toward therotational shaft 70 and aconcave recess 10 a for catching laundry formed in the entire length of the inner side of the curve. Each lift extends a predetermined length in the axial direction of thedrum 20. Theconcave recess 10 a is formed on the inner side of the curved portion. During operation of the drum-type washing machine according to the present invention, laundry rotating with in thedrum 20 will be caught in the curved portion of eachlift 10 and in theconcave recess 10 a thereof. - During operation, as the
drum 20 rotates forwardly and reversely, the laundry is pulled up by thelifts 10 and then falls in a drop zone in the interior of thedrum 20, to perform a mechanical washing process. Since the portion of each of thelifts 10 near therotational shaft 70 is curved, the laundry can be lifted higher to fall, whereby a washing power is improved. As the laundry is caught and lifted upward by thelifts 10, theconcave recess 10 a enables a reduction in washing time, by pulling up more of the washing water and thereby soaking the laundry more thoroughly. - Moreover, the overall curved configuration of the
lifts 10 differs with respect to the rotating direction of thedrum 20. Thus, the drop zone of the laundry is varied as thedrum 20 reverses its rotational direction. This variation enables a more thorough stirring action of the laundry and improves the washing power accordingly. - Meanwhile, contrasting moments are applied to the
rotational shaft 70 during operation, which are especially significant with larger loads. That is, a relatively great moment is applied to therotational shaft 70 by an eccentric weight of laundry disposed at the far end of thedrum 20 with respect to therotational shaft 70, while a relatively small moment is applied to therotational shaft 70 by an eccentric weight of laundry disposed at the near end of the drum. - Hence, since each of the
lifts 10 has the curved portion near therotational shaft 70 so that the laundry is distributed near therotational shaft 70 on a dewatering step, the moment applied to therotational shaft 70 by the eccentric weight of the laundry is decreased to reduce the vibration and noise. -
FIG. 5 illustrates another drum-type washing machine according to the present invention, wherein the lifts according toFIG. 4 are mounted in an alternative configuration. Here, thelifts 10 are installed so that the curved portions of adjacent lifts face each other, i.e., symmetrically. In this manner, the washing action of the laundry is uniform regardless of the rotational direction of thedrum 20. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , illustrating alift 110 according to a second embodiment of the present invention, aconcave recess 110 a is formed on both sides of each lift. Thus, regardless of the drum's rotational direction, as the laundry is caught and lifted upward by thelifts 110, theconcave recesses 110 a enable a reduction in washing time by pulling up more of the washing water and thereby soaking the laundry more thoroughly, as in the case of theconcave recess 10 a formed on one side only. Moreover, as with the lift configuration ofFIG. 5 , thelifts 110 according to the second embodiment may likewise be configured so that the curved portions ofadjacent lifts 110 face each other, to provide uniform washing power regardless of the rotational direction of thedrum 20. - By adopting a drum-type washing machine according to the present invention, several benefits arise, particular with respect to the curved portion of the lift. That is, with the curved portion of each lift disposed near the rotational shaft, washing performance is improved since the laundry is lifted higher to fall farther. Furthermore, the disposition of the curved portion inherently distributes the laundry closer to the rotational shaft on dewatering, so that the moment applied to the rotational shaft by the eccentric weight of the laundry is decreased to reduce vibration and noise. The curved portions also enable the drop zone of the laundry to vary according to the rotational direction of the drum, to produce a more, thorough stirring action in the laundry, whereby washing power is improved.
- In addition, the concave recesses of the lifts enable more washing water to be pulled up for soaking the laundry more thoroughly, to reduce washing time accordingly.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers such modifications and variations, provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
