Description

MULTIPLE ROTATABLE BASKETS ELECTRIC WASHING MACHINE Description of the Invention
Technical Field of Invention
Laundry of multi-colored and multi-types fabrics, such as clothing, towels, underwear and sheets, are washed with water using top-loaded or front loaded electric-motor driven washing machines, these are divided into groups, and washed one after the other in one basin in conventional washing machines.
Background Art
The idea behind the washing machine is to fill the basin (tub) with water, and to spin this water using a fan (finned water-pumping agitator in the center of the bottom of the basin) in top loaded types, connected to an electric motor. While the inventor of the electric washing machine remains unknown, Electric washing machine Woodrow's US patent 921195 is one of the oldest issued patents in the field. Washing machines was improved during 1930s. The mechanism was enclosed within a cabinet. Bendix introduced the first automatic machine in 1937, then an improved one in 1947, while general electric introduced the first top loading automatic model in 1947, this machine had many features that are incorporated into modern machines. As the conventional washing process in the washing machines, requires dividing the laundry into groups, mainly three: colored, white and towels, these groups are washed separately, each one is filled in the washing machine, the machine will carry out a complete washing process, consuming a full cycle time, water, energy and cleaners, the user then have to remove the 1st group and fill the next one to start another washing cycle and so on, as each washing cycle requires filling the washing machine by the user with the laundry repeatedly for three times, using three quantities of water filling the basin to a minimum level, consuming energy three times, consuming cleaners for three times to cooperate with the minimum quantity of water, this means a washing machine handling these laundry at one time during one cycle is a necessity. A little larger compact washing machine that can wash such three types of laundry at once, with carrying out a relative drying for it, will result in higher ratio of height to diameter for each basin than conventional ones, this would require further modifications on the whole machine to cooperate with the new created basins, to make the washing process more efficient.
Even a washing machine with multiple basins, and rotatable baskets is disclosed in patent: CN 201567472 U, it is neither showing how to modify the washing effect, through effective design for the basins walls, neither showing how to improve the driving mechanisms to achieve higher performance. Furthermore, an electric washing machine with multiple rotatable basins is disclosed under Int. patent application publication No.: WO/2012/010984, is trying to modify the washing effect, the wavy surfaces of the basins sides walls are taking more space, and it is not clear how effective their performance will be, especially in guiding the washed laundry downward, instead of creating bulky accumulation of the laundry in the top center of the basin.
So, it is the main aim of this invention is to provide a multiple baskets electric washing machine with effective driving mechanism in addition to a design for the basins walls to achieve effective washing, through easy modifications consuming very small size of the inner side walls of the basins surfaces.
Disclosure of Invention
Brief Description
As the process of washing multiple types of laundry (colored clothes, white clothes and towels, adult females cloths, adults males cloths, kids cloth, underwear) requires washing these in multiple separate washing cycles with their complete water, energy, cleaners and labor time requirements, a washing machine with multiple rotatable basins is developed here. The original basin is divided into three, one big washing compartment (basin) inside basket, and two secondary washing compartments (basins) inside baskets, the big basin is normally used for the bigger quantity of laundry (normally the colored clothes). Each basin will have at its bottom center a separate agitator, in total the three agitators will be driven by one motor, the motor is linked to a mechanism that will drive the agitators by drive belts connected to their pulleys, also to activate the washing cycles, the motor via another mechanism is driving the rotation of the baskets from its middle outer perimeters, the mechanism is driven via a second gear installed on the motor shaft and connected to a center first gear on a central shaft via a toothed belt.
A centralized water feed line and multiple cleaner compartments are installed to distribute the water and cleaner to the baskets.
The basins side walls have horn-like surface protrusions', in order flex the weaves of the fabrics, and to move the laundry in a way to be exposed and penetrated repeatedly from all sides by the water force and detergent solution.

Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention:
In order to make it easy to carry out the invention, a detailed description of the parts of the invention supported with figures is provided here, wherein the figures of the main parts are arranged sequentially according to the importance of the parts, each part has many features, since in the case here there are interfering parts drawings, we made it easy to read, by referring to each feature with a number included in the parts description text and in the parts numbering list, the numbering of parts features is indicated here by starting it sequentially from number 20, whenever a part feature appears in a text, it will be directly assigned its required serial number. As example in FIG. 1, the parts' features are arranged sequentially from number 20 to 21, 22, 23...
1- Electric washing machine with multiple rotatable baskets FIG. 1: The washing machine 20 inner parts are drawn here assembled for simplicity; it is showing how the parts are installed together in their suitable locations to carry out their required functions.
It need to be noted here that for understanding the main resulting functions of the washing machine here, the whole mechanism with the added active mechanism parts to activate the basins rotation is not included in FIG. 1, neither FIG.s (2-4) it will be included in FIG.s (5-8). The same applies on the horn like protrusions, wherein it will be included in FIG.s (9-11).
In FIG. 1, The original basin is divided into three: the main (big) basin 21, the secondary (small) basins 22, 23, these basins are included inside the main (big) basket 24, tow secondary (small) baskets 25, 26 sequentially. The main basket 24 is bigger than the other two secondary baskets 25, 26, in order to handle the biggest quantity of similar type laundry, which is normally the colored group of laundry, as each of the towels and white clothes size are normally less than that of the colored ones, the two baskets 25, 26 used to clean these groups (towels, white laundry) are of similar size, hence they are called secondary baskets 25, 26.
As each basket 24, 25, or 26 is byitself a fully separate washing system, each one requires to have separately all the technical features provided for a normal basket in conventional washing machines, and so each basket will have side walls, main agitator 27, or secondary agitators 28, 29, the water feed line 30 (FG.s 1-2) is divided into main supply pipe 31 , and secondary supply pipes 32, 33, these pipes are provided with three solenoid valves, main valve 34, secondary valves 35, 36, and each basket has a cleaner (detergent|) compartment, main compartment 37, and secondary compartments 38, 39. The water feed line 30 can be designed such that it is introduced towards the upper center point in- between the basins (21, 22, 23), where it branches from a pipes collecting box (40) into three pipes (31, 32, 33), each one is going towards one cleaner pocket (compartment) (37, 38, 39).
The main basket's 24 water pipe 31 diameter will be bigger than that of the secondary baskets 25, 26 secondary water pipes 32, 33 as well as the main basket's 24 cleaner compartment 37 should be bigger than that of the secondary basket's 25, 26 cleaners compartments 38, 39, in cooperation with each basket size.
A most important separate technical feature of the baskets (24, 25, 26) is the water spinning agitators (27, 28, 29) the main basket 24 will have its own main spinning agitator 27, which will be bigger than each one of the secondary baskets' 25, 26 secondary spinning agitators 28, 29.
As in conventional washing machines a minimum sufficient water quantity (water level) is required to be filled in each washing cycle to fully immerse and suspend the clothing freely in the basket, in order to achieve a successful washing process, and as that quantity size increases as the diameter of the basket increases, here in the multiple rotatable baskets electric washing machine 20, the division of the original basket into smaller baskets (24, 25, 26) will reduce the cross sectional area of each basket, this will mean: as the:
min. required water quantity size = cross sectional area of basket multiplied by the height of min. required water level
; then as the cross sectional area of a basket division is less than for the original basket, a less water quantity amount will achieve the minimum required water level (height) necessary for suspending and immersing the laundry, this result will create an economical washing cycle in regard of water consumption, it also did not force the user to use the minimum big amount of water required for a washing cycle even when the laundry quantity is small as in conventional big basket washing machines.
Anyway, the three spinning agitators (27, 28, 29) are to be rotating either at once or when their selected basket is occupied for use, in one embodiment in this invention, one motor 41 is used to drive these three agitators (27, 28, 29) the motor 41 is installed in a place to have its output- shaft 42 fixed in-line with the main basin's 24 main spinning agitator 27, while a drive belt 43 is installed on a pulley (or gear) 44 installed on the motor's 41 output-shaft 42, this drive belt 43 will transfer the rotation of the motor's 41 main pulley (gear) 44, to two secondary pulleys (or gears) 45, 46 installed on the secondary agitators' 28, 29 input shafts 47, 48, and also transfer the movement to the water pump's 49 pulley (gear) 50, so, when the whole machine's 20 baskets (24, 25, 26) are on work, the motor 41 will be driving the three agitators (27, 28, 29) at once, a conventional program can be used via a control unit to control a clutch mechanisms which may be installed on the shafts' (42, 47, 48) pulleys (gears) (44, 45, 46) where the control unit receives the orders from the user via a control panel (screen) 51, who can select the required baskets (24, 25, 26) agitators (27, 28, 29) to be set for work, in cooperation with other washing cycle requirements. Still the three baskets (24, 25, 26) one time work on, is the most economical choice for the user.
All baskets (24, 25, 26) water drainage exits (52, 53, 54) will be located at the lower center collection point where all baskets (24, 25, 26) meet, and so all baskets three drainage exits (52, 53, 54) will pour the drained water to inside one drainage pipe 55 towards the water pump.
Finally, Drying the laundry can be operated depending on the motor rotation and via the same conventional mechanisms used for engaging the basket to rotate after water drainage, and hence the centrifugal force will throw the water out of the laundry towards the fully punched walls of the baskets (24, 25, 26) and down the basins (21, 22, 23) to the drainage exits (52, 53, 54) and then to the water pump 49 (FIGs 1 , 3). - Whole mechanism with the added active mechanism (Fig.s 4-8): The mechanism appearing in FIG.s (1, 3, 4) is the basic mechanism, the whole developed mechanism in this invention is appearing in FIG.s (5-8, 10), it consists of the basic mechanism in addition to the added gear mechanism or the active gear mechanism, these parts includes a drive belt 56, connecting from one side a second pulley (gear) 57 installed on the drive shaft 42 of the motor 41, to a first center pulley (gear) 58, this gear 58 is installed on a center rotating shaft 59, installed from its lower far end conventionally via a bearing to the base of the washing machine 20, while from its top end it is engaged to a second center gear 60, the second center gear is to be engaged to a three ring gears (61, 62, 63) which are surrounding the middle outer perimeter of each of the three baskets. The added (active) gear mechanism is to be used for rotating the baskets in the reverse direction of agitator's rotation in each basin, accordingly, the design requirement should produce considerably a higher rotation speed of the agitators compared to the baskets reversed rotation, the resulting effect (as in FIG. 11 -A) will be for example a high rotation (swirling) (counterclockwise) of the cleaning solution, faced by a lower speed reverse rotation (clockwise) of the basket (24, 25, or 26) wall, which will face the swirling solution 64 by a reversed direction rotational effect, hence, in region (A) the solution 64 backwards rotation (clockwise) will be concentrated at the side walls of the basin (21, 22, or 23), while in region B the solution 64 rotation will be concentrated around the remaining space of the basin increasingly towards and around the center of the basin, wherein it is created by the effect of the counterclockwise of the agitator (27, 28, or 29), see the rotations directions in FIG.s (6, 11. A).
This resulting two different directions motions of the solution 64, will create a considerable active effect on the pieces of fabric (fabric model 67), wherein when the fabric 67 normally passes in-between the two reversed rotational directions of the solution 64, from the side wall towards the center, then while changing the direction of rotation the fabric will face a considerable solution pumping force through its tissues, also it will be squeezed while moving towards the center of the solution 64 whirlpool, this resulting effect, will not only exclude the need for reversing mechanisms for the agitators, but it will create an efficient washing cycle, which will achieve a better cleaning, in a very shorter time, saving a considerable amount of energy (more clarification in point 3). Also in region C, the solution turbulence and eddies 68 will result in- between both solutions parts with different directions, these will create extra foam of the detergent and soap, and will create extra pumping of solution penetrating through the fabric tissues, in addition to turning it over around all its sides before it enters region B (swirling region).
It need to be noted that the shaft 59 by being installed from its lower far end to the washing machine, that will provide an extra stability for the added active mechanism, the other secondary shafts 68, 69, which are installed from their lower ends to the base of the washing machine 20 and from its other top ends to the agitators (28, 29) are too providing stability for these mechanisms in addition to the secondary basins (22, 23) and baskets (25, 26).
Furthermore, the baskets (24, 25, 26) while rotated by the added active mechanism, will not rotate with them the outlets of the main and secondary cleaner compartments (37, 38, 39) or their outlets, wherein these compartments and their outlets are penetrating through the body of the washing machine 20, not the baskets (24, 25, 26). - Fabric side movements inside the basket (FIG.s 11-B, C): In conventional top loaded washing machines, the spinning water circulates primarily along the poloidal axis during the wash cycle, that will push the fabrics to the edges (inner side walls) of the basket around its center in a movement in one direction, while the raise of the water outwards towards the sides of the basin, and then downwards towards the agitator in the bottom center, is creating another movement, where both will form a circulation pattern similar to the shape of a torus.
But as this type of combined movement continuously in one direction would just lead to the water spinning around the basin with the agitator, rather than the water being pumped in the torus-shaped motion, so as to expose the fabric to a pressure and friction force from the water, rather than only carrying it around and around, the conventional solution was making the agitator direction to be periodically reversed, some other solutions were to supplement the water pumping action of the agitator with a large rotating screw on the shaft above the agitator, to help water move downwards in the center of the basket.
A further inventive solution for this matter is disclosed here, wherein a protruding horn like obstacles 70 are created on the surface of the inner walls of each basket (24, 25, 26), this geometrical shape will have a great effect on the washing efficiency, wherein instead of reversing the direction of the spinning water and detergent solution 64 via an extra mechanisms installed, stopping and reversing the agitators (27, 28, 29) motion direction periodically, the moving fabric model 67 after pushed by the circulating water and detergent solution 64 (Fig. 11- B) towards the edge of the baskets (24, 25, 26) will be forced to be guided to follow the curve of the protruding horn like obstacle 70 surface, this will make it changes its direction gradually, as the fabric model 67 gets out from the curved edge area, it will be rotated around its center by 90° - 180° (Fig 11- B (Fabric models 67 with numbers 1 - 2) is resembling a fabric model 67 turn over inside the basket, as each fabric model 67 when it is suspended horizontally, will have four non-geometrical faces, facing four horizontal directions, the prior mentioned 90° - 180° rotation will lead to:
a- Exposing one to four sides (facing horizontally) of the fabric 67 to the push, force, or pressure of the incoming faster spinning water and detergent solution 64 that is coming from behind it, as soon as it gets out from the curved surface 70, that is to say: in-between the protruding horn like obstacles 70, the water and detergent solution 64 will be expanded due to crossing a longer distance, and so its speed will slow down, while the spinning water out of the curved areas, will spin faster, and so this fast spinning water 64, once the fabric model 67 gets out of the area in-between the protruding horn like obstacles 70, it will expose it to an extra pressure, which will cause more friction between the water and detergent solution 64 from one side, and the fabric 67 from another side, in another way leading to a more pumping of water and detergent solution 64 through the fabric 67, which will be washed thoroughly during every second of the wash cycle's full time, b- As the fabric 67, while getting out from in-between the horn like obstacles 70 area, also will move from a higher water and detergent solution 64 level at the edges of the baskets (24, 25, 26) towards a lower water and detergent solution 64 level at the center following the track of numbered fabric models 67 in-between points (1- 2- 3- 4) in FIG.s (11- A, B), the fabric 67 will rotate down towards the agitator (27, 28, 29) then up again to the side walls edge of the baskets (24, 25, 26) following the track of numbered fabric models 67 in-between points (5- 6- 7- 8- 9) in FIG.s (11- A, B) completing the cycle of rotation, wherein during it, its upper and lower surfaces will also be at this time facing the water and detergent solution's 64 pumping effect, the turbulence of the water and detergent solution 67 specially near the agitators (27, 28, 29) will lead to rotating the fabric 67 around its vertical axis, the systematic and non systematic motions of the fabric 67, will change its 3-directional motion, and hence what can be called 3-dimensional all faces full time washing will result.
c- While in conventional top-washing machines, the reversed agitator motion will create only the pumping effect on the fabric piece for only the first three seconds of the reversed rotation cycle, and during the remaining 5-7 seconds of the spinning rotation time, the fabric piece will be carried with the water just to rotate around and around without a noticeable water pumping effect through it, which means the pumping effect will take place for only 30 - 40 % of each washing period, from another side, the invented protruding horn like obstacles 70 resulting pumping effect in this invention, will be permanent for a full time period, this means compared to conventional washing machines, the invented machine hereby with the protruding horn like obstacles 70 can carry out each full water and detergent solution 64 pumping effect washing cycle during a time less by 60 % to 70 % of the washing time required in conventional washing machines, such a result when added to the other benefits of the active (added) mechanism and the multiple compartments, the energy, water and time saving figures will be duplicated.
d- Saving the need for agitator revering mechanism, which costs money and requires maintenance.
e- The 3-dimensional movements directions of the laundry which will cause its up, down, right, left, turning around, and upside down movements is in general creating a dropping and a folding action of the laundry that can easily produce a large amounts of foam, such a result helps in decreasing the used cleaner quantity.
Still a further development in the protruding horn like obstacles 70 is carried out by making the horn like 70 widths in each basin (21, 22, 23) wider at the top than at the bottom, that is to say: the protruding horn like obstacles 70 shape are tilting toward the basket walls in the downward direction, this feature will help in the followings: a- Decreasing the size of the protruding horn like obstacles 70.
b- Helping in directing the fabric movement forward and downwards after getting out from in-between the protruding horn like obstacles
70.
c- As the occupied size by the water and detergent solution 64 at the top half of the baskets (24, 24, 25) is larger than that at the bottom half (FIG. 11-C) due to the smaller diameters of the baskets and basins at their top sides than their bottom sides; this will create a gradual natural rotation speed difference between the baskets (24, 24, 25) lower sides and top sides, as a result a higher rotation speed of the water and detergent solution 64 will be created at the top half more than at the lower half, this will make the fabric be exposed to a higher pumping effect while moving upwards, with a contraction in its size following the decrease of the water and detergent solution 64 size upwards, this will help in pressurizing the fabric to expel out some water and detergent solution 64 for sure with dirt to cooperate with its contraction in-between track points (4- 5- 6- 7- 8) in FIG.s (11- A, B), while when moving back downwards 67 in-between track points (1- 2- 3- 4) in FIG.s (11- A, B), it will expand due to the expansion of the basket size downwards, and so the fabric will absorb more water and detergent solution, the higher spinning of the water and detergent solution 64 at the bottom near the agitator will push it to the side walls and up, to repeat the process again and again. So this easy cheap shape that does not contain any mechanisms, will create a non preceded full time full rinsing, washing, cleaning than any conventional washing machine mechanisms, and so the washing time can be shortened effectively, the result which may save more energy and mechanisms using a natural shape and natural movements.
In total, if it is known that the conventional top-loaded washing machines consumes three times of water quantity and double energy value compared to that of front-loaded washing machines, the developments carried out in this invention over the top-loaded machines, will make it not only more economical than the conventional front loaded- machines, but it will be more practical and time saving, so the negative points of the top loaded washing machines mostly will be finished, while other positive ones are created and added.
