Description

1 TARIFF A washing machine with a mixer. This invention is a mixer that enables the laundry to move within the drum. It relates to a washing machine that includes 5. In washing machines, the washing process takes place in the drum where the water and detergent are collected. This is accomplished by means of a rotating drum. Horizontal axis laundry In these machines, the vanes inside the drum lift the laundry upwards and into the drum. It allows the object to be dropped into the soapy water inside. The dropping and rotation speed is 10. The dirt on the laundry, which hits the detergent water at a rapid pace, The detergent is removed by water that passes through the pores. In this way, the laundry is both Both the chemical effect provided by soapy water and the mechanical effect provided by movement. It is cleaned by means of this. However, as the amount of laundry in the drum increases The movement of laundry inside the drum is restricted and insufficient mechanical and chemical protection is provided. Laundry that is not exposed to this effect has a reduced cleaning performance. This Therefore, manufacturers use mechanical mixing of the laundry inside the drum. They are developing various solutions that enhance the effect. One of these solutions is the drum rear a motor drives the drum to rotate around its own axis independently of the wall It involves the placement of a rotating mixer. However, these applications require the mixer to be 20 using an additional motor separate from the motor that drives the drum to rotate it In terms of maintenance, it is both costly and difficult to fit a second engine into the limited body space. Because it needs to be located in a suitable position, it causes production and settlement difficulties. is happening. European patent number EP3428334A1, which is included in the prior art. In his application, he specified two systems that allow the drum and a pulsator to be driven independently. A washer containing a motor is described. International patent number WO2009062920A1, which is included in the prior art, 30 In the application, a drum pulley, a torsion pulley, a third auxiliary pulley, drum 2 a movable transmission element between the main pulley and the auxiliary pulley, the direction of movement of the transmission element a changeover is a movement involving a transfer element between a transfer shaft. A washing machine with a rotating mechanism is described. In this configuration, the machine rotates. The movement is provided by a single motor; however, the movement mechanism also has a drive mechanism. It is both complex in structure due to its transmission element and the large number of pulleys it contains. and also considering the number of relative moving parts on the oscillating boiler when taken, it is disadvantageous in terms of occupational safety and in terms of location It is problematic. Therefore, this application is difficult due to high costs, production, and installation challenges. It does not offer an effective solution to the problem. The aim of this invention is to increase the efficiency of mechanical cleaning through the use of a mixer. It is the creation of a simple and low-cost laundry product. The first step taken to achieve the purpose of this invention, and the steps associated with that step... The washing machine described in the requirements is a 15-inch machine in which the washing process takes place. a boiler, a drum located inside the boiler that can be rotated around a horizontal axis, a shaft located outside the drum determines the drum's axis of rotation. a drum pulley that rotates together with the drum by being connected, a motor, motor and drum placed between the pulleys, the rotational movement provided by the motor is transferred to the drum pulley. and a drum belt that transmits the transmission to the drum, mounted on the drum, preferably 20 inches from the drum. a device attached to the back wall that can be rotated around a horizontal axis The mixer is mounted on a shaft and rotates together with the mixer. A mixer pulley connected to the mixer will be rotated by a drum belt. an idler pulley that contacts the drum belt and a mixer with the idler pulley. placed between the pulleys, the idler pulley's movement is transferred to the mixing pulley 25 a mixing belt that transmits the mixture and thus rotates the mixer It includes. The drum is moved by the movement provided by the motor via a drum belt. While the mixer is rotated together with the drum pulley until the fluid is transmitted to the drum, by contacting the belt and being rotated around its own axis by the drum belt idler pulley and the mixing belt stretched between the idler pulley and the mixing pulley 30 through which the movement of the idler pulley is transmitted to the mixing pulley. 3 It is rotated. Thus, both the drum and the mixer are driven by a single motor. Simple structure and low cost advantage due to being rotated using fewer elements. the mixer is provided and depending on the selected belt length or pulley diameter. a configuration suitable for simple modification of the kinematics of motion relative to the drum It has been obtained. 5 In one application of the invention, the mixing belt and drum belt are attached to the idler pulley, mixing and The drums are wound in such a way that they rotate in opposite directions relative to each other. This allows, By simply ensuring that the mixer and the drum rotate in opposite directions relative to each other, the drum The laundry inside is moved in the opposite direction, and the mixing activity is 10. is being increased. In another application of the invention, the mixing pulley is more similar to the drum pulley. It has a small diameter. This provides both ease of placement and mixing. By increasing the rotational speed of the pulley relative to the drum pulley, the laundry inside the drum is rotated by 15 The mixture is mixed more quickly thanks to the use of a mixer. In another application of the invention, the idler pulley is fixed to the boiler. This This prevents sudden belt tensioning and untension due to the movement of the oscillating group. By passing through, the smooth rotational movement of the mixer is ensured. 20 In another application of the invention, a motion mechanism is connected to a control unit. According to the signal provided, the idler pulley contacts the drum belt, causing the drum belt to move. by being rotated away from the drum belt with a movable position Between a stationary position where contact with the drum belt is broken and the boiler is 25 degrees It is designed to be easily moved. This allows the mixer to be moved only in idle mode. The mixer's control unit is rotated while the pulley is in the movable position. It has been ensured that it is optionally activated by [the relevant authority]. This practice, in particular, a wash such as a delicate program where reduced mechanical movement is needed The mixer is deactivated during the program or a wash program step such as the spin cycle. It is advantageous because it allows for being left undisturbed and not rotated. 4 In another application of the invention, the driving mechanism is attached to the boiler, on which a support in which the idler pulley is mounted in a sliding manner, with at least one channel. and to the idler pulley in such a way as to allow the idler pulley to slide within the channel It includes a connected push-pull solenoid. The solenoid is controlled by the control unit. The idler pulley's movable position is controlled and shifted via a solenoid. Movement is provided between the stationary and non-stationary positions. The channel is preferably a ring. It is spring-shaped and the idler pulley moves in both up-down and left-right directions simultaneously. This application allows for the instantaneous sliding of the idler pulley in the vertical plane. Its advantage lies in its ability to move quickly and precisely. This allows the mixer to be switched on and off at short intervals. This ensures that the mixer can perform rolling, striking, intermittent rotation, etc. In different motion configurations achieved by rapidly engaging and disengaging the mixer It was made possible to move it. In another application of the invention, the control unit can control the motion mechanism from the motor manufacturer. idler pulley when driven below a predetermined limit of engine speed. The idler pulley will be brought to the movable position and will actuate when the engine reaches its limit engine speed. It controls the mixer in such a way that it brings it to a stationary position. Thus, the mixer... It is designed to be deactivated at high engine speeds, 20 at high speeds damage to laundry due to excessive mechanical force and mixing effect This prevents the accumulation of fluid on one side of the drum, thus avoiding imbalance. In another application of the invention, the limiting motor speed is between 250 and 350 RPM, Specifically, preferably at 300 RPM, the mixer's speed is specified by the manufacturer as 25. The correlation between mixing efficiency and oscillation group equilibrium was found to be between 250 and 350 RPM. It has been determined that the loss begins around the engine rotational speed, and tightening... the limit at which the optimum balance between performance and washing performance is achieved The engine speed was determined to be 300 RPM. In another application of the invention, the control unit can set the engine speed above the limit engine speed. during a period in which the idler pulley is rotated at a low rotational speed, at least one in a way that will allow it to be brought from a mobile position to a stationary position several times It activates the movement mechanism. This process ensures that the laundry is washed at least once. It is advantageous in that it allows mixing only by the movement of the drum, 5 especially before the engine speed is reached during washing steps such as spinning, etc. By simply running the drum at a low speed, the laundry is distributed more homogeneously through the drum. This has enabled distribution in this manner. Thanks to this invention, the mechanical force applied to the laundry is 10 times greater than that provided by the existing motor. This movement has improved washing performance in a simple and low-cost way. It has been increased. The washing machine, as shown in the attached figures, was created to achieve the purpose of this invention. shown, and of these figures; 15 Figure 1 – Schematic view of a washing machine representing an application of the invention.
