Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bearer having an internal power source and a washer-dryer suitable for use with said bearer.
  • washer-dryers during drying process, parameters of the laundry items in a drum such as dryness, temperature, etc. have to be measured precisely and accurately.
  • the duration of drying process depends on the laundry items reaching the accurate levels of dryness and temperature, and upon reaching of said levels drying process is terminated.
  • Various sensors are provided on washer-dryers, enabling measuring parameters such as conductivity, temperature, humidity, etc., and the washer-dryer is controlled by means of the data received from such sensors.
  • conductivity is measured during drying process and drying process is terminated according to this measurement.
  • Conductivity is measured by means of two electrodes stably placed at the front portion of a drum. During drying process, the conductivity value of the laundry items can be measured when the laundry items in the drum contact said electrodes.
  • Laundry items are more conductive in humid state.
  • the conductivity of the laundry items decreases as it dries and loses its humidity.
  • the conductivity of only the laundry items contacting the electrodes can be measured during drying.
  • the possibility of the electrodes contacting the laundry items significantly decreases when there is a small amount of laundry items in the drum which are not distributed homogeneously, thereby making it more difficult to determine drying. In this case, drying process is terminated by a timer. This, however, leads to drying process not being fully performed or the laundry items being thermally damaged by being over-dried.
  • EP2387643 discloses a washer-dryer having a drum rotating in horizontal axis, the washer-dryer comprising electrodes fixed on the inlet port of the drum by way of plastic injection, enabling detecting dryness.
  • Korean Patent Application no. KR20030041428 discloses a washer-dryer comprising a dryness detection unit provided in the drum, having electrodes fixed on the wall of the drum.

  • the washer-dryer of the invention further comprises a seat allowing the bearer to be housed by being placed therein when washing/drying process is not performed. The bearer can thus be easily accommodated.
  • the seat is provided on the control panel.
  • the seat is adapted to the shape of the bearer so as to allow the bearer to close-fit therein. By this, the bearer is settled firmly in the seat, preventing it from coming loose.
  • the washer-dryer is suitable for use with a bearer having an internal power source and having a second connection member receiving the power supplied externally, in order to transmit it to the power source so as to enable charging the power source by means of the externally supplied power.
  • the washer-dryer comprises a first connection member provided on the seat, enabling power to be transmitted from the body to the bearer by transferring power between itself and the second connection member upon the bearer being settled therein.
  • the bearer of the invention is configured to be suitably used with the above-described washer-dryer, and comprises a second connection member adapted to supply power from a first connection member disposed on the seat.
  • the bearer is not required to be moved away from the washer-dryer to be charged, thereby minimizing the risk of the bearer getting lost.
  • the bearer is charged when not utilized, and is kept readily available. Ease of use is thus provided.
  • the first connection member and the second member are a primary coil and a secondary coil, respectively, and the washer-dryer enables the power source to be charged by magnetic energy.
  • the bearer insulated completely from the outer environment, is wirelessly charged via the control panel.
  • AC voltage is induced by means of a magnetic field, on the secondary coils positioned on the inner surface of the bearer for wireless charging. Said voltage is directed and regulated, and is used for charging the power source.
  • the primary coils enabling inducing voltage for charging are disposed on the rear surface of the seat. By this, insulation is provided and the appearance is not compromised.
  • the bearer further compromises at least one sensor provided thereon, enabling the parameters relating to the dryness of the laundry items such as humidity, temperature, dryness to be measured accurately and precisely by contacting all of the laundry items in the drum.
  • the energy needs of the units provided in the bearer are supplied by at least one battery positioned in the bearer and used as a power source.
  • the bearer is shaped almost as a sphere. By this the bearer can easily be placed in the seat.
