Definitions
- the present invention refers to a clothes washing machine, in particular of the household type, provided with a washload holding drum that has an improved dynamic balancing arrangement.
- the present invention substantially consists in providing a plurality of annular hollow bodies having different diameters and containing a respective plurality of movable balancing weights, in subdividing said plurality of hollow bodies into two distinct assemblies, and in applying the hollow bodies of each such assembly against a respectivebase of the cylinder formed by the drum, the hollow bodies of each such assembly being therefore substantially coplanar with each other and coaxial with the axis of the drum.
- a washload holding drum made preferably of metal and of a generally per sè known type, which substantially consists of a rigid structure formed by a cylindrical peripheral mantle 1 and two bases 2 and 3, one of which carries the spider member and the related shaft 4, while the other one forms the loading opening 5.
- each one of such bases a respective assembly 6, 7 is applied, which is formed by a corresponding plurality of distinct hollow bodies 8, such as this is shown in Figure 1.
- a second improvement as illustrated in Figures 6 and 7, relies on the fact that the hollow bodies comprised in at least one of said assemblies are provided by joining together two substantially symmetrical parts 9, 10, each one of which is formed by a plurality of co-planar, concentric circular grooves 11 that are open toward the same side in an orthogonal direction with respect to the co-planarity plane.
- Such grooves are appropriately and partially filled with movable balancing masses whose weight, size, shape and distribution can be freely selected by anyone skilled in the art in accordance with the desired results and the acceptable extent of trade-offs.
- said two complementary parts 9, 10 are joined together to form a single member.
- the hollow bodies of said assemblies are contiguous, in the sense that the outer periphery of the inner annular hollow body substantially coincides with the inner periphery of the adjoining outer annular hollow body.
- said hollow bodies are separated from each other by a single common intermediate wall.
- each one of said brackets is applied on to the outer cylindrical surface of the drum with a parallel orientation with respect to the axis thereof, while their respective gripping members 16 are caused to engage, thanks to their claw-like configuration, against corresponding pairs of frontally opposing sectors that are respectively arranged on the outer edges 18 of said assemblies 6, 7.
- said brackets form the mutual clamping members of said assemblies, while not actually engaging the drum in any structural manner, so as to avoid passing on to it the stresses deriving from the attachment of said assemblies and, therefore, putting any resulting mechanical load on to it.
- engaging elements 18 in view of boosting the stability of said brackets it is advantageous for engaging elements 18 to be provided which protrude from their intermediate zone and are capable of engaging the underlying surface of the drum without passing on any excessive or unbalanced strain to it.
- a manufacturability improvement is furthermore obtained if the parts making up each assembly are made in a single-piece or integral construction and are then joined, upon insertion of the movable balancing weights, using a specular assembly technique.
- a further optimization of the present invention refers to the possible integration of the inner parts of said assemblies 6, 7 with the drum which they are associated with.
- Such an integration enables considerable advantages of a constructional and economic nature to be obtained and consists in making, using readily available techniques, both the drum and the inner parts of said assemblies formed by the related hollow bodies in a single-piece or integral construction.
- such an improvement is implemented through the use of an appropriate plastic material that is adapted to be processed for making both the drum and said assemblies, thereby further giving the opportunity of avoiding the presence and the assembly of the afore cited brackets, with resulting considerable advantages in terms of costs and constructional simplification.
