Definitions
- This invention relates to a tub for a clothes- washing machine, in particular of the domestic type which houses a rotating drum inside which the washing load is placed; said washing tub consisting of a peripheral, cylindrical housing formed by a tub front-section and a tub rear-section which are joined together at their respective plastic material edges in order to enclose the drum in their interior by means of the fusion welding of the plastic materials of said edges, forming a weld bead between the front and rear sections.
- the majority of the tubs existing on the domestic washing-machine market with moulded plastic washing tubs are joined by means of assembly with clips and/or screws.
- the joint is carried out by joining, by means of clips, the tub front section with the tub rear section, which incorporates the internal features, already assembled, such as the drum, the shaft, etc.
- Document EP 601 347 B1 discloses a washing-machine, or combined washing- and drying-machine, in particular of a domestic type, which comprises a plastic washing tub which houses a rotating drum within which the washing load is placed; said washing tub consisting essentially of a peripheral, cylindrical, integral housing, with a rear wall and a flange-shaped front wall which incorporates protrusions, moulded separately for their subsequent joining to protrusions on the front opening of the tub by means of the fusion welding of the plastic materials of which said protrusions are made.
- Welding of the tubs is usually carried out by means of placing the flat sides of the protrusions face-to-face.
- the protrusions of the tub and of the front wall are L-shaped in section, and by means of welding, two edges of the protrusions are mutually joined. The pressure is exerted on both joined edges of the protrusions
- Welding forms part of the group of permanent joints, but unlike others such as riveting or sticking, it provides certain advantages, such as the speed of manufacture, the high resistance of the joint, and the versatility of the joining process, applicable to a great number of materials and therefore appropriate for polymers or polymer-based compound materials, as is the case with current washing-machine tubs.
- the object of this invention is a more watertight joint for washing-machine tubs which are closed by a system of plastic welding.
- a tub for a clothes washing-machine in particular of a domestic type which houses a rotating drum within which the washing load is placed, the washing drum consisting of a peripheral cylindrical housing formed by a tub front section and a tub rear section which are joined along their respective plastic material edges, enclosing the drum in their interior, by means of the fusion welding of the plastic material of said edges, forming a weld bead between the front and rear sections where the edges meet along at least two joining lines, forming at least one chamber between the two, along at least part of the weld bead.
- This welded joint has a greater surface area, which increases its inertia and therefore its resistance to bending and twisting forces.
- At least one of the edges features a base surface to which at least one extension of the opposite edge from a respective base surface is joined, defining at least one of the joining lines along the weld bead.
- both edges feature a respective base surface to which at least one extension of the opposite edge is joined, defining at least two joining lines along the weld bead and at least one chamber between the edges.
- one of the edges features a base surface to which at least two extensions of the opposite edge are joined, forming at least two joining lines along the weld bead and at least one chamber between the two edges, the chamber being formed directly on one of the edges.
- the chamber will be defined by the space formed between the base surfaces of both edges and the extensions, along the weld bead.
- the base surfaces are substantially flat, parallel with each other, and perpendicular to an external surface of the tub. In this way, assembly and closing of the tub is easier, positioning the base surfaces of the tub front and rear sections face-to-face.
- the chamber is formed between the edges, from the lowest point of the tub when this is in its working position. In this way, the watertightness of the lowest part of the tub, which is where most water may collect, is guaranteed.
- the chamber is formed between the edges along the entire weld line, forming a watertight enclosure, and making the entire washing tub watertight.
- the tub is made of plastic material.
- the tub front section and its respective edge, and the tub rear section and its respective edge may each be manufactured as a single part, with no need for double plastic injection or additional joins between the sections of the tub and the edges.
- the washing-machine is of the front-loading type, with an opening in the tub front section for the insertion of the washing load. - A -
- the system of closure by welding is that of closure by vibration and pressure, which is the most suitable for this type of part.
- the system of closure by welding is that of closure by vibration and pressure, which is the most suitable for this type of part.
- less heat is concentrated at the area to be welded.
- the heat disperses better, as it has an inner convective surface. In short, is achieved that the surroundings of the weld area suffer less.
- Figure 1 Portrays the profile of a washing tub in section, with the drum inserted into its interior.
- Figure 2. Portrays an exploded view of the tub in Figure 1 .
- Figure 3. Portrays a detailed sectional view of the joint between the tub front and rear sections.
- Figure 4. Portrays a detail of a simplified embodiment of the invention in Figure 3.
- Figure 1 portrays a schematic section of a tub 1 for a clothes washing-machine, in particular of a domestic type, which houses a rotating drum 2 within which the washing load is placed.
- the washing-machine is of the front-loading type, with an opening 10 in the tub front section 3 for the insertion of the washing load.
- the tub 1 is manufactured from plastic by moulding and comprises a peripheral cylindrical housing made from two parts, a tub front section 3 and a tub rear section 4 which are joined along their respective open edges 31 , 41 , enclosing the drum 2 in their interior, by means of fusion welding of the plastic materials of the edges 31 , 41 , producing a weld bead 5a between the tub front section 3 and the tub rear section 4.
- the system for closing the same by welding is the system of closure by vibration.
- edges 31 , 41 are joined along at least two joining lines 51 , 52, forming a chamber
- the edges 31 and 41 feature a flat base surface 33 and 43, parallel with each other, and perpendicular to the external surface of the tub 2.
- Each of the edges 31 and 41 also comprises an extension 32 and 42 which protrudes beyond the respective base surface 33 and 43, forming the limit of the opening of each of the tub sections.
- These extensions 32 and 42 stretch along the entire circumference at different radial distances from the axis of the tub, so that during the process of welding by vibration, these extensions do not touch each other and become joined to the base surface of the opposite edge.
- the joining of each of these extensions to the flat surfaces of the edges defines a joining line 51 and 52 along the line of the weld bead 5a.
- the chamber 6 is defined by the space formed between the base surfaces 33 and 43 of both edges 31 and 41 and extensions 32 and 42 along the weld bead 5a.
- the chamber 6 extends from the lowest point of the tub 2 in its working position, towards the highest point, thus being watertight.
- the chamber formed should surround the entire tub by the weld bead 5a.
- the extensions stem from either of the two base surfaces, to meet the opposite surface or another extension of the opposite edge, enclosing the number of chambers desired between the two base surfaces and the extensions.
- the design suggested by the invention for this welded joint increases the resistance of the joint against different forces, especially if we compare it with the traditional flat welding between faces. From a joint with a single welded surface, we move to another in which the weld is executed on two different surfaces, located on different planes and separated from each other by the distance occupied by the watertight compartment located between the two. This design eliminates the continuity of the welded surface, which improves its resistance and makes breakage of the joint more difficult. Besides, the thermal effects suffered by the material in the proximity of the weld are minimised.
- the extensions are kept generally parallel throughout the weld bead or edge of the front and rear tub sections, and the distance between the extensions of the edges or of a single edge remains constant, although this is not essential. It may be that the extensions, when they belong to a single edge, are joined together as a single extension, if the joint so requires.
- the design significantly improves the watertightness of the tub, a characteristic which is essential in order that leaks should not appear during the washing processes. It is relatively common for this problem of leakage to appear if the weld bead is not perfect throughout its perimeter, which on the other hand is difficult to check during the welding process.
- the water would have to seep through a double wall. It would first have to enter the watertight compartment or chamber through a possible defect in the inner welded wall and then through the outer wall. This is more improbable than if there were only a single welded surface.
