Description
- The present invention relates to front loading washing machines/drying machines which has a gasket providing sealing between the front door and the washing drum.
- In front loading washing machines/drying machines, there are gaskets providing sealing between the door opening the front panel has, and the washing drum. The gasket prevents the water coming from the drum and the front panel to run over outwardly together with the help of the front door closing the door opening. The gasket has front and rear flanges which are fixed to an outlet facing the door opening of a tub encompassing the drum and which are fixed to the door opening. Between the front and the rear flanges, there is an elastic part which compensates the movement of the drum during processes like washing or drying. During the cloth washing process, since the drum rotates, the clothes may advance towards the gasket and they may get stuck. In order to eliminate this situation, kickers are formed on the gasket's rear flange which is fixed to the tub. Kickers are described in the US patent
US7357006 A flap of the kicker pushes a stuck cloth back inside the drum using the rotation movement of the drum. - Another front loading washing machine is disclosed in
EP 2 078 777 A1 - The object of the subject matter invention is to decrease the damage given to the cloth by the gasket in a front loading washing machine.
- In order to reach said object, the present invention is a front loading washing machine comprising a front panel with a door opening which provides access to a rotating drum where the clothes to be washed are placed; a tub which encompasses the periphery of the drum and which has an outlet facing the door opening, a gasket providing sealing between the tub and the door opening by encompassing the door opening from a front flange and by encompassing the outlet from a rear flange peripherally; at least one first flap which extends radially inwards from the rear flange of the gasket and which provides the pushing of the clothes to be washed towards the drum during the rotation of the drum; and at least one curvilinear edge which forms the radial inward end of the first flap. Since the curvilinear edge prevents the clothes from being caught, during rotation, the clothes which advance from the drum to the gasket or which get stuck between the drum and the gasket are not torn when they are passing from the flap's curvilinear edge which is on the radial inward end. Thus, the first flap sends the cloth back inside the drum by means of a soft response. In a preferred embodiment, the first flap is made of for instance, plastic, rubber, etc. material which is flexible so as to form an arc.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is at least one second flap which has a distance with the first flap the kicker has and which extends radially inwards. The second flap increases the total flap distance and it provides the pushing of the clothes in a bigger part at the rear flange outlet.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the second flap comprises at least one second curvilinear edge forming the radial inward end. By means of this, there is also no obstacle on the second flap which will lead to the clothes to get caught and the second flap realizes the pushing function in a similar manner to the first flap.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is a bridge which joins the first flap's edge and the second flap's edge facing each other. The bridge provides the cloth load arriving to the first or second flap to be shared by the other flap. In this case, the bridge provides a serially connected arc characteristic for a flexible flap structure.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the first and the second flap are symmetrical with respect to an axis dividing the bridge in two parts from the middle thereof. Thus, by means of the structure joint by the bridge, the forces coming from the clothes are distributed to the flaps proportionally with the distance.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the curvilinear edge is in the form of a circle arc. Thus, in case the cloth, which advances from the outlet to the gasket because of the rotation of the drum, contacts to the flap from the curvilinear edge thereof, the cloth is pushed towards the drum by means of a force increasing along the circle arc.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, there is a first ring in circle arc form which exists at the first flap's transverse end adjacent to the rear flange, and/or there is a second ring in circle arc form which exists at the opposite end thereof. Since the ring parts where the flap joins with the rear flange is in the form of a circle arc, the clothes which are rotated by the drum are prevented from being caught between the flap and the rear part, and said clothes slide on the circle arc and they return to the drum.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, said second flap comprises a first ring in circle arc form which exists at the second flap's end adjacent to the rear flange, and/or there is a second ring in circle arc form which exists at the opposite end thereof. By means of this, cloth is prevented from being caught between the second flap and the rear flange.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the radial length of the bridge is smaller than the radial length of the first and/or second flap. Thus, the edges of the flaps' parts which are longer than the bridge can realize the pushing function separately.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the circle arc diameter of the curvilinear edge and/or the second curvilinear edge is greater than the diameter of the first and/or second ring diameter. By means of this, the flaps flex in a simpler manner.
- In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the length of said curvilinear edge and/or said second curvilinear edge is substantially equal to the length of the corresponding first and/or second flap. In other words, the curvilinear edge extends along the flap's end close to the cloth. Therefore, the clothes are prevented from being caught along the edge thereof which contacts with the clothes. In a probable embodiment of the subject matter invention, said circular edge has a C shaped cross section. Thus, the cloth advancing from the drum towards the outlet is prevented from being caught, and moreover, it is prevented from being torn.
- The additional characteristics and advantages of the subject matter invention are disclosed from the example embodiments giving reference to the accompanied figures.
- In
Figure 1a , the lateral cross section a front loading washing machine comprising a representative embodiment of the subject matter gasket is given. - In
Figure 1b , the frontal perspective view of a gasket is given which is used in the front loading washing machine illustrated inFigure 1 . - In
Figure 2 , a frontal perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the subject matter gasket is given. - In
Figure 1a , the lateral representative view of a front loading washing machine 1 is given. There is afront panel 2 which forms the front face of the rectangular washing machine's 1 body, which is planar and which has adoor opening 3 with a circular hole form thereon. A circular front door 4 closes thedoor opening 3. Thedoor opening 3 opens to a washing drum 6 carried inside the washing machine 1 body. The drum 6 is in the form of a horizontal cylinder which is perforated and which has a circular opening on a front face thereof facing thedoor opening 3. The other rear surface of the drum 6 is connected to amotor 7 from the center thereof. Themotor 7 rotates the drum 6 in the horizontal axis during processes like washing, rinsing and drying. Atub 5 encompasses the drum 6 peripherally so that there is a space in between and so that an outlet 8 thereof facing thedoor opening 3 is open. The washing and rinsing liquids and the liquids formed during drying are inside thetub 5. Therefore, in order to prevent the leakage of the washing or drying liquids through the space between the door 4 and thedoor opening 3, agasket 10 is fixed between thedoor opening 3 and thetub 5 outlet 8. - According to
Figure 1b , thegasket 10 has a similar circular form to thedoor opening 3 and the tub's 5 outlet 8 facing thedoor opening 3. In order for thegasket 10 to be fixed to the front door 4, there is afront flange 14 bent outwardly. Thefront flange 14 has two extensions. Thefront flange 14 is fixed to thefront panel 2 from the outside by means of the outer extension and from inside by means of the inner extension. In order for thegasket 10 to hold onto thetub 5, there is arear flange 12 bent outwardly on the rear end of thetub 5. Therear flange 12 has three extensions. Therear flange 12 is fixed to thetub 5 from the outlet's 8 outer edge by means of the outermost extension and it is fixed from the inner edge thereof by means of the adjacent extension. The rear flange's extension which is far away from the outlet 8 and which is close to the door opening 3 forms a circular flange and prevents the clothes to go out. Though, the clothes can get stuck between thegasket 10 and the drum's 6 peripheral edge close to the outlet 8. - A
kicker 20 formed at the upper part of therear flange 12 is illustrated inFigures 1b and2 . Thekicker 20 is formed so as to comprise afirst flap 21 extending radially inwards thetub 5 from therear flange 12 edge thereof on the upper part of a horizontal axis dividing thecircular gasket 20 in the middle, and so as to comprise an auxiliarysecond flap 26 similar to saidfirst flap 21. The first and thesecond flaps bridge 25 joins the first and second flap's 21, 26 edges facing each other. Thegasket 10 and thekicker 20 which is the extension of thegasket 10 are made of a flexible material. - The
first flap 21 has acurvilinear edge 22 extending inwards therear flange 12 in other words, extending radially inwards. Thefirst flap 21 is tab with acurvilinear edge 22 which changes radially in the form of an arc of a circle whose center is on therear flange 12 plane. Thefirst ring 23 and thesecond ring 24 which exist on the two ends where thefirst flap 21 contacts with therear flange 12 are formed as a circle arc with opposite direction to the circle arc of thecurvilinear edge 22 of thefirst flap 21, however, thefirst ring 23 and thesecond ring 24 are formed with recesses. - The
second flap 26 is symmetric to thefirst flap 21 with respect to an orthogonal axis passing in the middle of the distance between thefirst flap 21 and thesecond flap 26. Thesecond flap 26 is a tab which forms the secondcurvilinear edge 27 and which extends radially inwards. The secondcurvilinear edge 27 is in the form of a circle arc. The two edges of thesecond flap 26 intersecting with therear flange 12 form thefirst ring 28 and the second ring 29 respectively. The first and thesecond rings 28 are formed with one each recess in circle arc form which both have opposite direction with the secondcurvilinear edge 27. - In the present embodiment, the first and the second flaps 21, 26 have equal edge radius R1. The edge radius R1 center is on the
rear flange 12 plane, however, it is outside of the covered area. The first and the second ring radiuses R2, R3 which the circular recess forming the first andsecond rings 28, 29 has is on therear flange 12 plane and they are inside the covered area. In the present embodiment, the first and second ring radiuses R2, R3 of both the first and the second flaps 21, 26 are equal to each other. - After the front door 4 is opened, the clothes (not illustrated in the figure) to be washed are taken into the drum 6 through the
door opening 3. The washing liquid is transferred from thetub 5 to the drum 6 by means of the perforated surface. During the rotation of the drum 6 by means of themotor 7, the washing process is executed. Meanwhile, the drum 6 moves and the liquid in thetub 5 has a trend to go outwardly from the front door 4. Thegasket 10 extending between the front door 4, thedoor opening 3 and thetub 5 prevents this. The movement of the drum 6 in the three axes does not give damage to thegasket 10 by means of the flexingpart 16 of thegasket 10. During rotation, when the clothes inside the drum 6 direct outwardly or when they are caught by the gasket, if they are in the bottom part of therear flange 12, they are pushed back into the drum by means of the rear flange's 12 flange structure belonging to thekicker 20. However, when the clothes lifted up by the drum 6 reach therear flange 12, in this part they are pushed back into the drum 6 by means of the first andsecond flaps rear flange 12 and by means of thebridge 25 in between. The pushing process is realized by flexing and thereby by applying opposite force, since thekicker 20 has a flexible structure like plastic and rubber. The clothes contact to thecurvilinear edge rear flange 12, thereby the clothes contact to the circular form and they are pushed into the drum. Since thecurvilinear edge 22 does not comprise any cornered form, the clothes are not caught by the first orsecond flap curvilinear edge 22 forms curved structures similar to an S, where one of the curved structures is formed with the followingfirst ring 23 and the other curved structure is formed with the followingsecond ring 24, and one curved structure is wide and the other curved structure is narrow. In alternative embodiments, more than two flaps can be used, for instance, three or four flaps can be used. Besides, thecurvilinear edge 22 may be formed of different curves, for instance hyperbolic etc. curves instead of circle arc or thecurvilinear edge 22 may comprise these curves.
