Definitions
- This invention relates to a cleaning apparatus which shows improved cleaning of physical stains on an item to be cleaned and which partially disinfects the item of microbes.
- Apparatus such as washing machines or dishwashers, which make use of microwave energy to clean and/or dry cloth are known in the art. Also, apparatus which make use of microwave energy to sterilize objects are also known in the art. Most of these apparatus focus on using microwaves to heat the water used during the cleaning process, thereby using less energy than apparatus which make use of, for example, heating elements. Apparatus which has a drying function focus on heating the water within the wet or damp cloth or on the dishes/objects, speeding up the drying process.
- Another problem with the prior art is the presence of only a single microwave generator which is positioned outside of the volume within which the item to be cleaned is located. This single generator must then emit microwaves into the volume. The result is sub-optimal power density distribution within the volume, especially if this volume is a drum of a conventional washing machine. The cleaning and/or sterilisation of the item is not optimised within a given cleaning period.
- the invention at least partially addresses the aforementioned limitations of the prior art.
- a washing machine or dishwasher for improved cleaning of laundry or dishes, by using pulsed, constant and/or distributed microwave energy which, when input to a drum of the washing machine, reduces the wash cycle, temperature and amount of mechanical washing action needed, thereby saving time and energy and limiting wear and tear on the item to be cleaned.
- the invention provides a cleaning apparatus which includes: a tub which has a first circumscribing wall and a pair of opposed sidewalls positioned on a rotational axis, an enclosure defined within the first wall and the sidewalls; a drum positioned inside the enclosure, and which includes a second circumscribing wall, a pair of opposed end walls positioned on the rotational axis, a cavity defined within the second wall and the end walls, into which an item to be cleaned is placed; and a drive means which is connected to the drum to provide rotational movement to the drum about the axis; characterised in that the cleaning apparatus includes a plurality of microwave generators, each of which is adapted to direct microwaves into the cavity.
- the drum may be tubular, either cylindrical or tubular polygonal in shape and configuration.
- the tub may have an aperture through a sidewall and the drum has an opening through an end wall that is in register with the aperture, with the opening and the aperture concentric with the axis.
- Each microwave generator may be a magnetron or a solid-state microwave module.
- each microwave generator is a solid-state microwave module.
- Each microwave module may have, or be connected to, at least one output or antenna which is positioned to radiate microwave energy into the cavity.
- the plurality of microwave generators may be connected or directly engaged to the first wall of the tub or the second wall of the drum, with each generator being positioned thereon to introduce microwaves in a radial direction into the cavity.
- the microwave generators may be spaced in a direction of the axis, thereby to position each generator to radiate microwave energy across a respective circumferential segment of the first wall of the tub or the second wall of the drum.
- Each circumferential segment may be irradiated by one generator each.
- a first array of generators the generators may be axially aligned or so as not be positioned adjacent another generator, radially offset or circumferentially/diametrically opposed.
- the cleaning apparatus may include a plurality of generator arrays, wherein each array provides more than one generator to illuminate each circumferential segment.
- each generator array may be axially aligned, alternatively radially offset relatively to the other generators in the respective array.
- all or some of the plurality of microwave generators may be connected or directly engaged to a side wall of the tub or an end wall of the drum, with each generator being positioned or adapted to introduce microwaves in the axial direction into the cavity.
- the at least one antenna may be a radiating patch antenna.
- the radiating patch antenna is connected to an end wall of drum in a co-axial position relatively to a shaft of the drive means.
- the drum may be made of a material transparent to microwave energy.
- the drum is made of a suitable heat transmissible, yet microwave impermeable, material such as a suitable metal material.
- the second wall of the drum may be penetrated with a plurality of fluid-flow holes.
- the plurality of holes through the second wall allows the microwave energy to enter the drum.
- the plurality of holes be small, designed only to provide a means for water to flow between the enclosure and the cavity, as an alternative, or in addition, the second wall or an end wall of the drum may include a plurality of microwave transparent windows.
- the plurality of holes may be positioned on the second wall to rotate into a radially co-incident position with a respective generator.
- the plurality of microwave generators may produce an aggregate microwave output power of 1 kW to 50kW.
- Each microwave energy generator may be adapted to emit a continuous or a pulsed microwave power output.
- Each microwave energy generator may be adapted to emit microwaves in a range 300MHZ to 30GHZ.
- the cleaning apparatus may include a control circuit to which the plurality of microwave generators is connected to control and to coordinate the microwave power output of the plurality of microwave generators in terms of one or more of the following parameters: power output, phase, frequency and duty cycle.
- the cleaning apparatus may include a power source such as, for example, a battery (or battery bank) or a capacitor (or capacitor bank) which is controlled or coordinated by the control circuit to provide for high power pulsed microwave output.
- a power source such as, for example, a battery (or battery bank) or a capacitor (or capacitor bank) which is controlled or coordinated by the control circuit to provide for high power pulsed microwave output.
- the control circuit may include a programmable process controller and one or more sensors connected to the controller and adapted to measure one or more of the following: water temperature in the cavity, microwave field strength and microwave reflection coefficient sensor.
- One of the sensors may be a shaft encoder which provides input to the controller as to the position of the shaft, and therefore the position of the plurality of microwave transparent windows, to determine the moment a respective microwave generator is initiated to introduce microwave energy into the drum.
- the input from the shaft controller may be used by the controller to ensure that a generator only radiates microwaves when a transparent window is radially co-incident with the generator.
- the input from the shaft controller as to its relative position and whether it is rotating or not may be used by the controller to ensure that the respective generator radiates microwaves into a void within the cavity. This will occur when the transparent window is not obstructed by the items to be cleaned such as when the shaft and the drum stops rotating.
- the input from the shaft controller as to its relative position and whether it is rotating or not, may be used by the controller to ensure that the respective generator radiates microwaves onto the items to be cleaned which lie adjacent the transparent window.
- the controller may be adapted to receive input from the shaft controller, and input as to whether the drum is not rotating or is rotating, to ensure that the respective microwave generator only radiates microwaves when no items to be cleaned lie adjacent a transparent window or only when the items to be cleaned lie adjacent a transparent window respectively.
- the introduction of microwave power and the agitation of the load can be co-ordinated by the controller to maximise exposure of the items to be cleaned with the microwave energy.

- Figure 2 is a schematic isometric illustration of a second embodiment of a cleaning apparatus in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 3 is a schematic isometric illustration of a third embodiment of a cleaning apparatus in accordance with the invention.

- Figure 5 diagrammatically illustrates the cleaning apparatus of Figure 3 connected to a control system
- Figure 6 diagrammatically illustrates a fourth embodiment of a cleaning apparatus in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a cleaning apparatus 10 in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention.
- the cleaning apparatus 10 includes a cylindrical tub 12, which has a body defined by a cylindrical (or first) wall 14, and a first and second sidewall (respectively designated 16 and 18).
- An aperture 20 opens through the first sidewall 16.
- an enclosure 22 is defined between the first wall and the sidewalls.
- a cylindrical drum 24 is contained, mounted on a shaft 26, which is connected to a drive means 27 which powers rotational movement of the drum about an axis.
- the drum has, in this embodiment, a cylindrical (second) wall 28 and a pair of end walls (respectively designated 30 and 32) which enclose a cavity 34.
- An opening 36 penetrates the end wall 30 and is axially in register with the aperture 20.
- a circular cylindrical wall 28 is not a limitation on the invention.
- the second wall 28 of the drum has the configuration of a polygonal cylinder. It has been found that a polygonal cylinder with, for example, 5 or 6 sides, has a much more uniform microwave energy distribution than a circular, rectangular or square cylinder. This benefit may be because the radiation will be incident to the surface and the amount of refraction is reduced.
- the second wall 28 is perforated with a plurality of holes (not shown), through which a washing fluid (water) moves between the enclosure and the cavity.
- the cleaning apparatus (10 and 10B) includes a plurality of solid-state microwave generators, respectively designated 38A and 38B, engaged to an outer surface 40 of the first wall 14.
- the first and second microwave generators are positioned over a first and a second circumferential segment (42A, 42B) respectively of the drum 24 (see dotted outline in Figures 1 and 2 which illustrate a notional boundary between the segments).
- the one generator is radially spaced or offset relatively to the other.
- This radial spacing is preferred to ensure that the microwave energy output of one generator does not adversely affect the functionality of another generator in an adjacent segment.
- each generator 38 From each generator 38, one or more microwave antennae are deposed within the enclosure 22, positioned to emit microwaves into the enclosure 22.
- the first wall is penetrated with a plurality of microwave feed ports 43 (see Figure 4 and 6).
- this wall can be made entirely of a microwave transparent dielectric such as, for example, a plastic or a ceramic material.
- this wall can be made of a suitable metal material, penetrated by a plurality of microwave transparent windows (respectively designated 44A, 44B...44N). This alternative is illustrated in Figures 1 , 2, 4 and 6. The alternative is preferred as the spin-rate of a substantially metal drum will be higher than a plastic counterpart.
- Each generator can be adapted to transmit microwave energy in a range 300 MHZ to 30 GHZ.
- the transmitted frequency is one of the frequencies allocated for industrial microwave heating (called ISM frequencies), particularly 915MHz, 2.45GHz or 5.8GHz, as these frequencies have a much lower burden of limiting detectable microwave emissions from the unit, compared to frequencies that have been allocated for other purposes, e.g., communications systems.
- ISM frequencies the frequencies allocated for industrial microwave heating
- 915MHz, 2.45GHz or 5.8GHz frequencies
- these frequencies have a much lower burden of limiting detectable microwave emissions from the unit, compared to frequencies that have been allocated for other purposes, e.g., communications systems.
- choosing an ISM frequency is not a limitation on the invention as certain non-ISM frequencies may be beneficial in terms of microwave penetration, efficiency of the microwave source, or interaction with and targeting the release of certain stain types. If a non-ISM frequency is used, better screening will be needed to conform to microwave emissions regulations.
- Figure 4 illustrates the cleaning apparatus (10, 10B) connected to a control circuit 50 which system includes a process controller 52 and at least one sensor 54, which in this embodiment is a shaft encoder.
- the process controller is in electronic communication, via a conductor 56, to each of the microwave generators 38 and to the shaft encoder.
- the shaft encoder outputs information to the controller on the relative position of the shaft 26 and, by implication, the windows 44.
- the controller is thus enabled to actuate each generator to emit microwaves in a synchronised manner, as a respective window passes below a respective generator.
- the shaft encoder can be used to determine the most advantageous time to introduce microwave power, for instance when the windows 44 are not obstructed by the items to be cleaned.
- the absolute position of the drum, as well as whether its rotating at that moment, or stationary, will help in that process decision.
- microwave power and the agitation of the load can be linked, to ensure all the items to be cleaned are exposed to the microwave energy.
- the controller can be enabled to cause each microwave generator 38 to emit a stream of microwave energy, of varying frequency. This may be done in a continually variable manner, sweeping through a predefined frequency range. Variably adjusting the frequency at which a generator emits microwaves, and controlling this adjustment relatively to the other generators, has the benefit of improving the uniformity of the microwave field i.e., the locations of the microwave hot spots (standing waves) in the cavity 34 that move around as a function of microwave frequency or wavelength.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a third embodiment (10C) of the invention.
- like features bear like designations.
- This embodiment differs from the embodiments 10 and 10B in that the plurality of microwave generators 38 are engaged to the second wall 28 of the drum 24, adapted to emit microwaves directly into the cavity 34 to aid in cleaning the items contained therein.
- the cleaning apparatus 10C is connected to a control and power circuit 50 with a power line 58 and an electronic signal line 60 engaging each microwave generator to a process controller 52 via slip rings 62 on the shaft 26.
- the shaft encoder 54 in this embodiment, will provide a means of ensuring that only the respective generator(s) whose antennas are above the water line, or are not covered by the wash load, to switch on. In this manner, the microwaves are able to fully disperse into the cavity, reaching more of the wash load.
- This embodiment also has benefits in energy efficiency, as the microwave generators can be cooled by the washing water between the tub and drum.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a fourth embodiment designated 10D.
- the microwave generators 38 are not engaged to the first or second wall (14, 28) to radially emit microwave radiation but rather the generators are engaged (see generator designated 38A in Figure 6) or connected to (see generator designated 38B in Figure 6) sidewall 18 of the tub 12 to provide for axial emission of microwave energy.
- the advantage here is that, when the drum is rotating at high angular velocity, the wash load is flung against the inner wall of the drum by centrifugal force, covering all radial feed ports, but voiding the centre of the drum to allow unobstructed propagation of microwaves from the axial source.
- the generators that are engaged directly to the sidewall will directly emit microwaves through a respective port 43 in the sidewall and through a transparent window (44A in this illustrated example) into the cavity 34. Again, like with the earlier embodiments, this emission can be controlled/co- ordinated via a control system (not shown in this illustrated example).
- the generators need not be directly engaged, but merely connected as shown with respect to generator 38B. Here, the generator is connected via a co-axial cable 64 to a path antenna 66.
- the co-axial cable will run through the shaft 26, the shaft having a rotary joint 68 which will allow the rotation of the shaft whilst preventing the cable from twisting.
- the patch antenna is lifted off the base surface (the inner surface of end wall 32) by a square or rectangular plate mounted on a di-electric backing (not shown), allowing the antenna to radiate microwaves into the cavity of the drum.
