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 battery, a base, a seat with an open top provided on the base, in which the battery is placed, at least one support at least partially surrounding the portion of the battery disposed out of the seat, and which comprises at least one arch applying pressure in parallel to the support on the portion of the battery disposed out of the seat.
  • a retainer comprises two supports which are parallel to each other, with a given distance in between.
  • the arch is disposed between two supports.
  • the support and the arch partially surround the wall of the battery disposed out of the seat.
  • the retainer comprises a first flange and a second flange provided on both ends of the support and the arch, enabling the retainer to be fastened to the base.
