Description

POWER SOURCE FOR A ROTATABLE DRUM
Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to supplying energy to the interior of a rotatable drum in laundry washers and/or dryers.
Background of the Invention/Prior Art
Currently, systems generating energy through a rotatable drum in laundry washers and dryers, are known for practical use.
In laundry washers and dryers, washing or drying is performed by placing laundry items in a rotatable drum. Depending on user needs and market demands, applications are required which can be placed in said rotatable drums and which can create a difference (drum interior illumination, sensors, etc.). Since some of these applications operate with energy, they require to be supplied with energy inside the drum.
Transmitting energy from a fixed part to a rotatable part is not generally preferred since it is provided by frictional components. Therefore, creating such an energy source directly on the rotatable drum is preferred.
Addressing the above explained circumstance, the necessity of an energy source in a rotatable drum in laundry washers and dryers is identified as a problem. Lacking an energy source in a drum restricts realization of applications which would create a difference.
A patent publication of technical interest which may be referred to is CN1521355. Said patent publication relates to supplying the energy required for a rotatable drum by a power generator. An intermediate member connected to the shaft of the power generator, begins rotating and enables rotating the drum.
Another patent publication of technical interest which may be referred to is US 2014355247. Said patent publication relates to an illumination apparatus connected to a drum for illumination of the interior of the drum, and to using an electromagnetic device for supplying said apparatus.
Another patent publication of technical interest which may be referred to is FR 2685575. Said patent publication relates to a structure rotating in a stator by means of a drum's movements and gravity thanks to a weight coupled to a rotor provided in a dynamo.
Whereas, the ideas and applications of transmitting energy into a drum, transmitting electricity into a drum using an electromagnetic device, rotating structures, mentioned in the above referred documents differ from the present invention.
In the system proposed according to the present invention, energy can be transmitted to various applications by generating energy directly in a drum.
Objects of the Invention
The main aim of the present invention relates to realization of energy requiring applications in a rotatable drum.
Another aim of the present invention is to enable forming an energy source on rotatable drums of laundry washers and dryers.
A further aim of the present invention is, in addition to directly using said generated electricity in energy requiring applications, to use the electricity to supply a battery storing electricity and using energy from said battery.
