Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of washing machines comprising a washing tub to be filled with washing water and a drain port, a drain pump, a drain line which watertably connects the tub to the drain pump and has a valve member which is sealed to the tub , and a pipe part, which is watertermally connected to the drain pump; wherein the washing machine further comprises a drain valve floatable in the washing water, which is movably disposed inside the valve member to close the drain hole when wash water is inside the tub and the drain pump is at rest or to open the drain hole when there is no wash water inside the tub or the drain pump is in operation.
- the washing tub has in its upper part a wash water inlet port to partially fill the washing tub for washing and rinsing the materials to be washed.
- a drain opening is arranged, to the outer part of the washing tub, a drain line is connected, which connects the washing tub with the drain pump to empty the washing water from the washing tub, if it requires the washing process.
- the drain pump discharges all the water from the inside of the tub and the drain pipe, therefore, at the beginning of the following cycle, the water poured into the washing tub fills the drain pipe and does not participate in the washing operation.
- valve member in which there is a buoyant valve in the form of a hollow ball, which fits into the drain opening, if enough water for the beginning of the cycle has flowed. In this way, the detergent does not escape through the drain line, thereby avoiding environmental damage.
- the valve member of the drain line is a flexible part of rather complex shape, which must be tightly fastened to the wash tub by any system, such as a flange.
- the patent DE 3624065 A1 describes a washing machine similar to the preceding, which has a drain line similar to that of the previous machine with a valve member which is connected in a sealed manner with the washing tub by means of a flange.
- the valve is located inside the valve part and is designed as a flap or tongue, which is connected in one piece with the wall of the drain line, more precisely with the wall of the valve part.
- the valve part and the valve are made of a complex part of flexible material. If there is no water inside the drain line or the pump is operating, the valve lowers and allows communication between the interior of the tub and the drain line. Similar to the process of the previous machine, when the washing cycle starts, the drain line fills with water, and the water itself makes the valve float and pushes it against the drain opening of the washing tub.
- a washing machine comprising a washing tub which is to be filled with washing water and a drain opening, a drain pump, a drain line which connects the washing tub to the drainage pump in water and has a valve part tightly connected to the washing tub. and a pipe part which is watertermally connected to the drain pump; and a drain valve floatable in the wash water and movably disposed inside the valve member to close the drain hole when
- Wash water is inside the wash tub and the drain pump is at rest, or to open the drain hole when no wash water inside the
- Washer is located or the drain pump is in operation, the valve part in a piece with the washing tub is formed and the pipe part is connected to an outlet port of the valve member.
- the washing tub in addition to the drain opening, the valve member in one piece, which is why the tightness is always better, since connections between the two parts are avoided.
- the drain line simplifies, since only one part of the pipe has to be connected to the outlet connection of the valve part when it is integrated into the washing tub in one piece.
- the pipe part may be a cylindrical standard pipe which is inserted by means of conventional flanges into the outlet connection and into the drainage pump.
- the washing machine may be a front loader or a top loader; she can in
- the valve member is designed as part of the tub and has an inner space which is connected to the interior of the washing tub via the drain opening. Component means that it is not a part that can be dismantled and reassembled.
- the drain opening can be closed by means of the valve floatable in the wash water.
- the interior of the valve member has an outlet port to which the pipe part is connected.
- the buoyant valve may be embodied as a lower density member than the washing water having a shape to fit in the drainage hole. It is particularly advantageous that the discharge opening is circular, since the valve may have a spherical shape or a partial spherical shape, which fits therein and blocks the flow of washing water.
- valve member has such a shape as to allow the movement of the valve in its interior inadvertently while remaining closed.
- the operation of the valve during the washing process is similar to that of the prior art, by keeping the drainage opening closed while there is water in the valve member to urge the valve against the opening.
- the tub is made of two tub sections made of plastic.
- Each of the tub sections has a portion of the valve member that has been molded in one piece with the corresponding section.
- they are joined by means of plastic welding technology, although not necessarily, since they can be glued or clamped.
- the Drain port is embodied in a first tub section, and thus, in the embodiment of an injection molded part, prevents its edge has burrs that could interfere with a proper closing of the valve.
- valve In a particular embodiment of the valve is provided that it has the shape of a flap. With such a geometry, less space is needed
- the drain valve in the form of a flap has a
- Stopper part which fits into the drain hole, a float part and a
- Hinge element which is connected to the valve member to prevent the rotation of the
- Allow drain valve between the open and the closed position In this configuration, the movement of the valve inside the valve member is limited and the closure system is better controlled.
- the drain valve has a stop that limits the rotation of the drain valve in the open position and prevents it from sticking to the wall of the valve member. To prevent the float part from being flooded, causing the float to flounder
- the stop limits the rotation of the drain valve in the open position to an opening between 15 ° and 35 °, preferably between 20 ° and 30 °, advantageously 25 °.
- the hinge member is designed as a rib which is inserted into a recess of the first tub section. This is an easy-to-install assembly that also secures the correct position by means of a slide that fits into the recess and limits its displacement in the recess. And to prevent it from shifting in the recess, the second tub section presses on the hinge member in the recess of the first section of the tub when the two sections are unified.
- the drain valve is made of elastic material.
- the valve-type drain valve type which has a hinge part, to assist in bending this part, as it is preferably made in one piece and below the weight of the plug part and the float part in the region of the hinge must bend.
- it is a valve in the form of a hollow sphere, it is not necessary that it is flexible, but that it is a smooth Has surface to adapt to the drain opening.
- the drain valve has an anti-stick surface, at least in the plug part, to reduce the possibility of sticking detergent residues, filaments or other elements that could worsen closure.
- the drain opening has a circular shape and the plug part partially has a spherical shape, which fits into the drain opening.
- the shape of the plug part is not necessarily partly spherical, since a cone shape can also perform the same function.
- the float part has a cylindrical hollow shape with one end connected to the plug part, and that its other end is open, where the air can enter, when the water level in the valve part rises, and supports the floating of the valve. It can also be hermetically sealed so that the air inside makes the valve swim.
