Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bearer for detecting dryness, and a washer-dryer operating in interaction 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.
  • the aim of the present invention is to realize a bearer for detecting dryness, and a washer-dryer operating in interaction with said bearer.
  • the bearer realized to achieve the aim of the present invention and disclosed in the first claim and the dependent claims, is placed in the drum together with the laundry items, moves freely in the drum with the laundry items, enables parameters relating to dryness of the laundry items such as humidity, temperature, dryness to be measured precisely and accurately by contacting all of the laundry items in the drum, and comprises at least one light source placed therein, and a light transmitting connecting piece provided on the bearer, enabling the light emitted by the light source to be dispersed in the environment of the bearer.
  • the connecting piece is made of a partially translucent material.
  • the connecting piece is made of a completely translucent material.
  • the bearer is shaped as a hollow chamber, and in the preferred embodiment, it comprises a first and a second shell, and is preferably shaped as a sphere.
  • the first and the second shells are coupled to each other by means of the connecting piece.
  • the connecting piece is interposed between the first and the second shells.
  • the first and the second shells are firmly and sealingly coupled to each other by means of the connecting piece capable of transmitting light.
  • the invention also relates to a washer-dryer adapted to operate in interaction with the bearer.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a washer-dryer.
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view of a bearer and electrodes.
  • Figure 3 is an exploded view of the first shell, second shell, connecting piece and the light source.
  • Figure 4 is a side sectional view of the bearer assembled with its components.
  • the bearer (3) suitable for being used with a washer-dryer (1) having a drum (2) in which the laundry items are placed comprises at least two electrodes (8) used for detecting dryness of the laundry items by contacting the laundry items inside the drum (2), a control unit in which the dryness information detected by the electrodes (8) is evaluated, at least one light source (4) placed therein, and a light transmitting connecting piece (9) provided on the bearer (3), enabling the light emitted by the light source (4) to be dispersed in the environment of the bearer (3) ( Figure 1, Figure 2 and Figure 3).
  • the bearer (3) on which the electrodes (8) are placed and bearing the electrodes (8), is placed in the drum (2) together with the laundry items, moves freely with the laundry items in the drum (2), and enables parameters relating to dryness of the laundry items such as humidity, temperature, dryness to be measured precisely and accurately by contacting all of the laundry items in the drum (2).
  • the light source (4) activates when the bearer (3) is operating or being recharged, and the light emitted by the light source (4) in the bearer (3) passes through the connecting piece (9) capable of transmitting light and is dispersed in the environment of the bearer (3). This makes it possible for a user to externally observe the bearer (3), enabling the user to perceive whether the bearer (3) is operating or its condition.
  • the connecting piece (9) is made of a partially translucent material.
  • the connecting piece (9) is made of a completely translucent material.
  • the bearer (3) is shaped as a hollow sphere and comprises a first and a second shell (5 and 6), and its outer wall consists of the first and the second shells (5 and 6) and the connecting piece (9) interposed between the first and the second shells (5 and 6).
  • the bearer (3) is preferably spherical.

  • the connecting piece (9) is interposed between the first and the second shells (5 and 6).
  • the first and the second shells (5 and 6) are firmly and sealingly coupled to each other by means of the connecting piece (9) capable of transmitting light.
  • the spherical bearer (3) is formed by joining the semi-spherical first and the second shells (5 and 6) by means of a connecting piece (9) capable of transmitting light, disposed in between the shells so as to extend along the diameter.
  • the light source (4) provided in the bearer (3) is activated, the light source (4) emits light inside the bearer (3), the emitted light reaches the connecting piece (9) capable of transmitting light, and is dispersed in the environment of the bearer (3) by passing through the connecting piece (9).
  • the connecting piece (9) capable of transmitting light
  • the bearer (3) comprises a base (7) on which the light source (4) is mounted.
  • the light source (4) is fastened on said base (7).
  • the base (7) and the connecting piece (9) are positioned parallel to each other inside the bearer (3).
  • the first and the second shells (5 and 6) are made of translucent material.
  • the connecting piece (9) is a part which also bears the power supply.
  • the invention also relates to a washer-dryer (1) adapted to operate in interaction with the bearer (3).
  • the bearer (3) comprises at least two light sources (4) of which one activates when the bearer (3) is operating in the drum (2) and the other when the bearer (3) is being recharged.
  • the bearer (3) comprises at least one light source (4) radiating in a given frequency when the bearer (3) is operating in the drum (2) and radiating in another frequency when the bearer (3) is being recharged.
  • the bearer (3) is used to measure the dryness level of the objects it contacts in the environment in which it is placed by the user.
  • the electrodes (8) made of conductive material, collect data in real-time from the objects contacting the bearer in the environment in which it is placed.
  • the environment in which the bearer (3) is placed is moving, e.g. the drum (2) of a washer-dryer (1)
  • the bearer (3) contacts almost all of the laundry items in the drum (2) as it can move freely, and enables receiving real-time dryness information from all of the laundry items.
  • the electrodes (8) are thus enabled to contact all of the laundry items independent of the amount and the distribution of the laundry items in the drum (2), thereby enabling collecting the information of the parameters related to the dryness of the laundry items in the most precise and accurate manner.
