Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry machine.
  • the present invention may be used to particular advantage in a laundry drying machine having a wireless laundry humidity sensor, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
  • a standard home tumble laundry drying machine condenses a stream of hot air blown into a drying drum and which removes moisture from the laundry; and the front access to the drum is closed by a hinged panel-type front door.
  • a known laundry drying machine comprises a ventilation system (i. e. usually a blower comprising a fan and an electric fan motor) and a heating arrangement, which draw air from the outside and, via an appropriate conduit arrangement, heat and blow the air into and through the laundry drying drum.
  • the hot drying air is then either exhausted directly from the drying machine or fed to condensing means to condense the moisture collected in the hot air.
  • the duration of a drying cycle was constant and predetermined.
  • the weight and initial humidity of the laundry to be dried are variable, so that a drying cycle of fixed duration may be either too short (i.e. at the end of the drying cycle, the laundry is still too damp and the drying cycle therefore ineffective) or too long (i.e. the drying cycle has used too much energy and is therefore inefficient).
  • a modern tumble drying machine normally employs a sensor to measure the relative humidity of the laundry during the drying cycle and to stop the drying cycle when the humidity of the laundry reaches a given value depending on the drying cycle selected by the user.
  • the most effective way of measuring humidity is a direct measurement of the conductivity of the laundry.
  • Various solutions are already marketed, which measure the conductivity between the drum and metal inserts fixed to the drum outlet or the lifters, or in which the drum is divided into two halves, and conductivity measured in between.
  • a limitation of the above known methods lies in the restrictions imposed on the drum which, being a component of the measuring system, must be made of any conductive material (e.g., stainless steel), and cannot be made of plastic, which is insulating, or lined with soft materials (such as thin silicone layers), which are also insulating. Consequently, the above known methods cannot be used in a tumble drying machine, in which "gentle treatment" of the laundry is achieved by lining the drum with soft materials.
  • the electric signal for measuring the conductivity of the laundry must be transferred from the rotating drum to an external fixed control unit by means of brushes sliding on a metal ring.
  • the brushes have a relatively short working life and must therefore be replaced frequently, and are potentially noisy, due to brush creep-generated noise.
  • the metal ring may also have a relatively short working life due to oxidation.
  • FR 2 685 575 discloses an electrical generator for supplying electrical energy to a component driven in rotation about an axis. To this effect, it comprises a stator integral with the said component, and a rotor integral with a rotor support.
  • the rotor support is mounted on the the component in such a way that the rotational movement of the component causes a relative movement of the rotor with respect to the stator.
  • WO 2004/022836 discloses a washer-dryer machine comprising a drum provided with a sensor device having a sensor element for determining the degree of dampness of said washing load.
  • the sensor device is provided with contact-less signal transmission to a control unit of the washer-dryer machine.
  • the signal transmission can occur in a targeted manner, e.g. by means of light signals.
  • the signal transmission can also be carried out in a non-targeted manner, e.g. by radio.
  • Power transmission can occur in a contact-free manner like said signal transmission.
  • EP 1 321 563 discloses a laundry dryer comprising a housing enclosing a rotary drum and a measuring device for determining at least one parameter of the laundry or the drying air contained in the rotary drum, wherein the measuring device has a measuring sensor mounted on the rotary drum cooperating with a stationary reader.
  • the measured values e.g. the laundry moisture content values, are transmitted between the sensor and the reader via a cordless link between a transmitter and a receiver.
  • US 3,710,138 discloses a control system for a clothes dryer including a fabric dryness sensing circuit comprising electrodes or probes mounted within a drum.
  • the electrodes are in the form of a pair of elongated conductor members mounted on the crown of each of the baffle members to provide a contacting surface engageable by the fabrics tumbling within the drum.
  • Electrical energy is supplied to electrode, for example, by lead that is connected to a brush that engages the stationary slip ring while the drum is rotating.
  • the slip ring is mounted on the electrically insulative air sealing member.
  • the slip ring is in turn connected to a lead which runs to the control unit.
  • the electrode is connected by lead to the rotatable drum and through the drum, the drive shaft, and blower housing to the chassis including the base.
  • the chassis is then connected to earth ground through a conductor electrically connected with the base, for example. Electrode 81 is thus connected to earth ground.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a laundry drying machine comprising a casing 2 resting on a floor 3 on a number of feet 4.
  • Casing 2 supports a revolving laundry drum 5 which rotates about a horizontal rotation axis 6 (in alternative embodiments not shown, rotation axis 6 may be tilted or vertical), and front access to which is closed by a door 7 hinged to a front wall of casing 2.
  • Drum 5 is rotated by an electric motor 8, and is fed through with a stream of drying air fed into drum 5 by a centrifugal fan 9 and heated by heating elements 10.
  • the moisture in the laundry in drum 5 is released by evaporation to the stream of hot drying air; and the moist hot air from drum 5 is piped to a condenser 11, which is cooled by a stream of relatively cold air drawn in from the outside by a centrifugal aspirator 12.
  • condenser 11 the vapour in the stream of hot air is condensed to liquid by cooling, and collects in a condenser reservoir 13; the dry air from condenser 11 is drawn by fan 9 and fed back into drum 5, subject to reheating by heating elements 10; and the outside air used for condensation is exhausted.
  • condensation collected in condenser reservoir 13 is pumped by a pump 14 into a condensation tank 15 fitted to door 7 closing the loading opening of drum 5 and located at a higher level than condenser reservoir 13; and, when condensation tank 15 is full, a known level sensor (not shown) is activated to stop drying machine 1. Operation of the drying machine is controlled by an electronic control unit (or programmer) 16 operated by buttons or knobs 17 on a front control panel 18.
  • Electronic control unit 16 receives a humidity measurement of the laundry inside drum 5 during a drying cycle from a humidity sensor 19 fitted to drum 5 and comprising a wireless transmitter 20, which transmits the laundry humidity measurement to a wireless receiver 21 connected to electronic control unit 16.
  • wireless transmitter 20 and wireless receiver 21 communicate, for example, by radio waves or optic (infrared) signals.
  • Laundry drying machine 1 comprises an electric generator 22 fitted to drum 5, and which uses rotation of drum 5 to generate the electric energy necessary to operate humidity sensor 19.
  • Electric generator 22 is preferably an electromagnetic generator, and comprises a coil 23; and a magnetic mass 24 located inside coil 23 and movable along coil 23 between two limit positions (shown in Figures 2 and 3 ) defined by two mechanical stops 25 and 26. Magnetic mass 24 moves freely inside coil 23 between the two limit positions, and is moved cyclically inside coil 23 between the two limit positions by force of gravity and rotation of drum 5.
  • coil 23 In a first angular position of drum 5 shown in Figure 2 , coil 23 is in an upright position, in which mechanical stop 25 is above mechanical stop 26, and magnetic mass 24 drops by force of gravity onto mechanical stop 26; in a second angular position of drum 5, 180° from the first angular position and shown in Figure 3 , coil 23 is in an upright position, in which mechanical stop 26 is above mechanical stop 25, and magnetic mass 24 drops by force of gravity onto mechanical stop 25.
  • Rotation of drum 5 causes a cyclic change in the orientation of electric generator 22, so that coil 23 moves cyclically between the Figure 2 and 3 upright positions, and magnetic mass 24 moves cyclically inside coil 23 between the two limit positions by force of gravity.
  • At least one condenser 27 (or any other kind of device for accumulating electric energy) is connected to the ends of coil 23 to accumulate the electric energy generate by coil 23 and to stabilize the voltage value.
  • humidity sensor 19 comprises a measuring unit 28; and a pair of electrodes 29 connected electrically to measuring unit 28.
  • the resistance/conductivity of the laundry inside drum 5 is measured between the two electrodes 29 and used to determine laundry humidity in known manner.
  • the two electrodes 29 are defined by respective electrically insulated portions of drum 5 (in which case, drum 5 must be made of any conductive material, and cannot be lined with soft materials), or are defined by conductive (normally circular or arc-shaped) bodies fixed to the inside of drum 5 (in which case, drum 5 may be made of plastic or lined with soft materials).
  • an electric device (humidity sensor 19) is fitted to drum 5 and receives electric energy from electric generator 22.
  • other kinds of electric devices may be fitted to drum 5; for example, a light source (for example one or more LED devices) for illuminating the drum 5 may be fitted to drum 5.
  • drum 5 comprises a number of lifts (axial ribs for lifting the laundry during the rotation of drum 5) and the light source is integrated in at least one of the lifts.
  • electric generator 22 may be applied to any kind of laundry machine having a revolving drum and an electric device fitted to the revolving drum.
  • Laundry drying machine 1 as described above has numerous advantages, by being cheap and easy to produce, by effectively and efficiently determining laundry humidity by direct measurement of the electrical conductivity of the laundry, and by imposing no restrictions on the drum, which may be made of any material, including plastic, and may be lined with soft materials (such as thin silicone layers). Furthermore, laundry drying machine 1 as described above has no brushes (no brush wear, no brush creep-generated noise produced, no contact oxidation problems). No external voltage is applied to drum 5 and thus this solution is the safest for the users. Finally, wireless laundry humidity sensor 19 as described above is self-powered electrically, and therefore has no electric battery (no battery change required).
