Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry machine, e.g. a washing machine or a washer/drier, of the type adapted to be connected to a hot water source.
  • the laundry appliance is so configured and realized to reduce fabrication costs, energy and water consumption of the appliance itself.
  • the appliance is more compact being as a single unit and no additional parts have to be mounted at the user's home.
  • the first valve is located downstream of or at said branch point of the second conduit from the first conduit.
  • the appliance in order to stop the water flow inside the container before reaching the priming level, the appliance includes a sensor apt to measure the amount of water entering into the reservoir.
  • the sensor apt to measure the amount of water present in the reservoir is apt to send a measurement signal to the control device and the control device is apt to open or close the first and/or second valve as a function of this measurement signal.
  • the reservoir includes a duct extending from the through hole towards the interior of the reservoir.
  • the appliance is generally transported several times before being installed at the final destination, e.g. at the user's home.
  • the appliance can be transported again, for example due to repairing and maintenance activities.
  • the appliance might still contain water inside the reservoir: if the appliance is tilted or tipped over, water may spill from the through hole. In order to minimize the spilling, the duct is realized.
  • a laundry appliance having a hot water intake according to the present invention is globally indicated with 1.
  • a washing machine is described.
  • Appliance 1 comprises an outer box casing 2, preferably but not necessarily parallelepipedshaped, and a treatment or washing chamber 3, such as a washing tub 3b containing a rotatable drum 200, for example having the shape of a hollow cylinder, for housing the laundry and in general the clothes and garments to be washed and/or dried.
  • the washing tub 3b is contained into the casing.
  • drum 200 can rotate around a preferably horizontal axis (in alternative embodiments, rotation axis may be vertical or tilted). Access to the washing tub 3b and drum 200 is achieved for example via an aperture 2a formed in the casing itself.
  • Aperture 2a preferably faces washing tub 3b and drum 200 and it is apt to be closed - or even sealed - by a door 3a.
  • the door 3a is adapted to alternatively open and close the laundry loading aperture 2a of the appliance 1 and is advantageously pivotally mounted, for example hinged, and thus supported at the casing 2 of the device 1.
  • Reservoir 9 is preferably realized in plastic material, more preferably in polyethylene or in polypropylene, reinforced or not, and defines a bottom wall 9a and a top wall 9b which are substantially opposite one to the other.
  • the bottom wall 9a has preferably, but not necessarily, a concave shape so as to better adapt to the shape of the cylindrical washing chamber 3, in order to minimize the overall volume, e.g. the bottom surface 9a is concave and it follows the contour of a cylindrical envelope 15 defining the outer wall of the washing tub 3b.
  • Sensor 16 can be for example a flow meter.
  • the measuring signal(s) is/are reported to the control device 20 for example by means of electrical signals.
  • the control device 20 activates valve 8,12.
  • valve 8 Preferably, as soon as a given water amount threshold has been reached inside the reservoir 9, the water flow is stopped. More preferably, valve 12 is closed so that no further water can flow into the second conduit 10.
  • the valve is switched and the water flow from the hot source is diverted onto the washing chamber, and no further water can flow into reservoir 9.
  • valve 812 which opens and allows water to flow inside the reservoir 9 till such a priming level is reached.
  • control device 20 activates again valve 12 to close the same so that no further water is introduced inside the reservoir 9.
  • the threshold amount of water which is introduced in the reservoir has been preferably set in such a way that the amount of water to be added in order to prime the siphon in this phase is rather small.
