Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washer/dryer comprising a fixing member for fixing the diverter valve to the body.
  • the detergent dispensers which are continuously used by the user get dirty and adversely affect sensory perception for a number of reasons.
  • the dirt in the detergent dispenser can be caused by textile particles formed during the washing and/or drying of the laundry, or caused by the detergent and softener loaded before each washing process remaining on the dispenser surface. Due to the detergent and softener residues remaining on the humid dispenser surface, visible and bacterial formations occur on the dispenser surface, which adversely affects the perception and health.
  • the detergent residues on the dispenser surfaces get dry and must be cleaned by the user before each drying process.
  • One of the cleaning methods includes the guiding of the water preheated in the washer/dryer back into the detergent dispenser. The water is guided into the detergent dispenser by the diverter valve.
  • the water flow from the pump outlet is divided into two by means of the diverter valve.
  • the diverter valve delivers the water to the jet nozzle group or detergent cleaning group.
  • the diverter valve continuously moves.
  • the mounting position of the diverter valve changing depending on the assembly operator poses a serious obstacle against the standardization of production.
  • a laundry washing machine comprising a diverter valve fixed onto the side wall of the body.
  • a washer/dryer comprising a control method for controlling the diverter valve fixed onto the body.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washer/dryer wherein the diverter valve is fixed onto the body.
  • the washer/dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises an L-shaped intermediate member whereon the diverter valve is fixed, with one arm being fixed to the base of the body and the other arm extending parallel to the side wall of the body.
  • the diverter valve is enabled to be fixed to the washer/dryer without boring any mounting hole on the side, front or rear walls of the body.
  • the water at the pump outlet reaches the diverter valve.
  • the diverter valve delivers the water to the jet nozzle tube or to the detergent dispenser cleaning tube depending on the program.
  • the diverter valve As the diverter valve is continuously active and the water may continuously change direction, the diverter valve continuously moves. As this movement causes noise and problems of leaking, the diverter valve is fixed.
  • the intermediate member whereon the diverter valve is fixed In order to provide a proper flow system and prevent any loss in efficiency, the intermediate member whereon the diverter valve is fixed must be positioned at the region where the pump outlet of the washer/dryer is arranged. Moreover, as no mounting hole is bored on the body or the front wall, no problem in terms of aesthetic appearance arises. Therefore, the intermediate member is placed onto the casing foot so as to support the diverter valve at the region where the pump outlet is arranged.
  • the diverter valve is mounted onto the second arm of the intermediate member which extends on the base of the body in a manner perpendicular to the side walls and which is fixed onto the foot arranged in the same plane as the base of the body via the first arm.
  • the first arm is shorter than the second arm.
  • the area for placing the diverter valve onto the second arm is increased and can be easily identified.
  • Figure 1 - is the perspective view of a washer/dryer together with the body and the intermediate member.
  • Figure 2 - is the view of the detail A of Figure 1.
  • Figure 3 - is the perspective view of the washer/dryer together with the intermediate member.
  • Figure 4 - is the view of detail B in Figure 3.
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises a body (2); a tub (3) which is disposed into the body (2); a drum (4) which is disposed in the tub (3), which rotates around its own axis and wherein the laundry is placed; a detergent dispenser which is disposed into the body (2) and wherein cleaning agents are loaded; a pump (5) which is fixed to the body (2); a diverter valve (7) which has an inlet (8) connected to the pump outlet (6), a first outlet (9) to which the tube spraying water into the drum (4) is connected and a second outlet (10) to which the tube delivering water into the detergent dispenser is connected; and an L-shaped intermediate member (12) whereon the diverter valve (7) is fixed and which has a first arm (13) fixed onto the base of the body (2) and a second arm extending parallel to the side wall of the body (2).
  • the diverter valve (7) is fixed onto the base of the body (2). Consequently, the movement of the diverter valve (7) is limited, eliminating problems of noise and leaking. Moreover, by means of the intermediate member (12), the diverter valve (7) is fixed without boring any holes on the side walls of the body (2). In addition, as the diverter valve (7) is mounted via said intermediate member (12), the diverter valve (7) is enabled to be always fixed at the same point independently of the assembly operator ( Figure 1 and Figure 2).
  • the diverter valve (7) operates thanks to a thermoactuator therein.
  • the shutter in the diverter valve (7) enables the water to be guided to different outlets (9 or 10). If not energized, the water is guided to the first outlet (9) and the water is guided to the second outlet (10) when energized.
  • the diverter valve (7) is fixed to the body (2) with the intermediate member (12), the diverter valve (7) does not move while the water is guided to the first or second outlet (9 or 10), thus preventing any vibration-induced noise caused by the movement.
  • problems which may arise between the diverter valve ( 7) and the tubes connected to the first and second outlets (9 and 10) and tube extending between the pump outlet (6) and the inlet (8) are prevented ( Figure 3 and Figure 4).
  • the washer/dryer (1) comprises at least one foot (11) which is arranged at the base of the body (2), and the diverter valve (7) is fixed onto said foot (11) via the first arm (13).
  • the second arm (14) extends perpendicularly to the foot (11) and parallel to the wall of the body (2).
  • the foot (11) is the casing foot.
  • the length of the first arm (13) is at most as much as the width of the foot (11).
  • the first arm (13) is shorter than the second arm (14).
  • the second arm (14) extends at least up to the level of the first and second outlets (9 and 10).
  • the intermediate member (12) is arranged in the vicinity of the pump outlet (6).
  • the water transfer between the pump (5) and the diverter valve (7) is not adversely affected, preventing any loss in efficiency.
