Description:TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates generally to a condensation unit, and particularly, the present disclosure relates to a condensation unit having a hose for a washing machine.

BACKGROUND

Washing machines are known to be used for cleaning and drying laundry and are present in semi-automatic, as well as fully automatic configuration. The washing machine use air circulation for drying the laundry therein, and the air is required to be maintained at a predetermined temperature for the same.

Conventionally, the air circulation cycle in the washing machine starts from a fan assembly, downstream to which a heater is located for heating the air from the fan assembly. The heated air is then blown into a drum for drying the clothes inside the drum. Moisture-filled air after drying the clothes is then passed through a condensation duct, wherein the moisture and air are separated. The condensation duct further has a flap which is used as an entrance for ambient air. Some washing machine may include a condensation duct that introduces fresh air into the drum.

One of the issues faced with the washing machine with the condensation duct is that during the washing and drying process, foam inside the drum tends to enter the condensation duct thereby resulting in inadvertent leakage of foam. the foam may also hinder the introduction of fresh air thereby causing saturation of air which results in poor efficiency of the heater.

Therefore, there is a need for a system that prevent leakage of foam.

SUMMARY

This summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts, in a simplified format, that are further described in the detailed description of the invention. This summary is neither intended to identify key or essential inventive concepts of the invention nor intended to determine the scope of the invention.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a washing machine is disclosed that includes a heating unit, a drum, a condensation duct comprising a first end and a second end, and a hose comprising an inlet and an outlet. The heating unit is used to heat up an incoming air to a predetermined temperature. Further, the drum is located downstream to a heater and is used to dry articles of the drum using heated incoming air, the heated air is used to dry articles and absorb moisture from the articles. Moreover, the condensation duct coupled with the drum receives a first portion of air from the drum which removes moisture from the articles in the drum. The first end of the condensation duct is fluidically coupled to the drum and allows an ingress of the first portion of air whereas the second end of the condensation duct is fluidically coupled to the heater and allows the egress of the incoming air to the heating unit. Furthermore, the hose is fluidically coupled to the condensation duct and is used to supply ambient air to mix with the first portion of air to form the incoming air in the condensation duct. The inlet of the hose receives the ambient air, whereas the outlet is fluidically coupled with the condensation duct along the length of the condensation duct and is used to supply ambient air to the condensation duct.

In another embodiment of the disclosure, a condensation system for a washing machine is disclosed that includes a condensation duct comprising a first end and a second end and a hose comprising an inlet and an outlet. The condensation duct coupled to the drum receives a first portion of air from the drum which removes moisture from the articles in the drum. The first end of the condensation duct is fluidically coupled to the drum and allows an ingress of the first portion of air, whereas the second end of the condensation duct is fluidically coupled to the heater, and allows the egress of the incoming air to the heating unit. Furthermore, the hose is fluidically coupled to the condensation duct and is used to supply ambient air to mix with the first portion of air to form the incoming air in the condensation duct. The inlet of the hose receives the ambient air, whereas the outlet is fluidically coupled to the condensation duct along the length of the condensation duct, and is used to supply ambient air to the condensation duct.

According to the present disclosure, the introduction of the hose and use of ambient air in the washing machine facilitates in increasing the airflow rate within the system. In other words, the hose ensures that an adequate volume of ambient air is supplied to the condensation duct so that an overall humidity of incoming air is kept at a lower value, so that the moisture from the articles may be removed by the incoming air efficiently. Further, the presence of ambient air helps in lowering the overall system temperature, enabling the heating unit to work continuously at an optimum temperature without the need for a heater cutoff, thus reducing the cycle time even further. Moreover, the hose supplies the ambient air at a positive pressure and therefore foam from the drum that may enter the condensation duct does not leak from the hose.

The washing machine 100 may include but is not limited to a heating unit 102, a drum 104, a condensation unit 106, and the hose 108. In one embodiment, the heating unit 102 may be located at a top side of the washing machine 100. The drum 104 may be located downstream to the heating unit 102. The condensation unit 106 may be located downstream to the drum 104, and the hose 108 may be fluidically connected to the condensation unit 106.

The washing machine 100 may further include a housing 110, a rear access opening 112, a door 114, a control panel 116, and a set of legs 118. The housing 110 may be used to house components of the washing machine 100. The housing 110 may be designed to have a rigged structure on the outside along with the set of legs 118 to stand on. The set of legs 118 may be used to stabilize the washing machine 100 during operation. In an embodiment, the set of legs 118 may include wheels in order to facilitate the movement of the washing machine 100 as per requirement of a user.

The housing 110 may further include the rear access opening 112 which may be used for maintenance of the components of the washing machine 100. The rear access opening 112 may be installed as one of a door or a removable panel. In case of a removable panel, the rear access opening 112 may be mounted on the housing 110 using a plurality of screws/bolts and may be removed by removing the plurality of screws/bolts.

The housing 110 may include the door 114 which may be used to access the drum 104, in order to place articles for washing and drying purposes in the washing machine 100. The door 114 may be used to enclose the articles while washing and drying and may use a silicon-based material around the edges in order to prevent any leakage of water or foam during operation. In an embodiment, the door 114 of the washing machine 100 may be placed wither on a top, or a front surface of the housing 110. In one example, the door may be of, but is not limited to, one of a circular, a rectangular, and a square shape.

The housing 110 may further include the control panel 116, which may be used to control an operation of the washing machine 100.

In an embodiment, a detergent dispenser may be placed next to the control panel 116 of the washing machine 100. The detergent dispenser may be used for supplying detergent to the washing machine 100 while washing the articles present in the washing machine 100 during operation.

Functional aspects of the washing machine 100 is now be explained in detail. Initially, the heating unit 102 may be used to heat up an incoming air to a predetermined temperature. The incoming air heated using the heating unit 102 will further be explained with reference to Figure 2A. The heating unit 102 may include, but is not limited to, a fan unit 120, and a heater 122. The fan unit 120 may be used to pressurize the incoming air from the condensation unit 106. The heater 122 may be installed downstream to the fan unit 120 and may be used to heat the incoming air to the predetermined temperature.

In an embodiment, the fan unit 120 may include a fan covered by a cylindrical wired mesh, which may be extended and used to connect the fan unit 120 and the heater 122. The wired mesh of the fan unit 120 may be used to define the path along which the incoming air from the condensation unit 106 may travel. Further, the fan may be used to rotate and increase speed of the incoming air, thus creating pressure in the incoming air.

In one example, the drum 104 may be, but is not limited to, a cylindrical component installed in a horizontal orientation within the housing 110. The drum may be used for storing the articles while the articles are being washed and dried in the washing machine 100. The drum 104 may be mounted within the housing 110, using suspension rods 124 which stabilize the drum 104 while the drum 104 rotates within the housing 110. The drum 104 may receive heated incoming air from the heating unit 102 to dry the articles. In one example, the heated air may be supplied into the drum 104 via a front portion of the drum 104 with the help of the fan unit 120 located upstream to the heater 122 and hence may be adapted to facilitate the supply of heater air into the drum 104. The heated air may then be used to absorb the moisture from the articles while drying.

The drum 104 may be fluidically coupled with an air outlet unit 126 which is used to vent out a second portion of the air. The second portion of the air may also be known as the air saturated with moisture. The air outlet unit 126 may be placed at a predetermined height in order to aid the removal of the second portion of air from the washing machine 100. The air with absorbed moisture from the drum 104 may then be separated into two portions, wherein a first portion of the air is sent to the condensation unit 106 and the second portion of the air is shared with the air outlet unit 126.

The condensation unit 106 along with the first portion of the air and the hose 108 will now be discussed with reference from Figure 2A to 2C, which depict the condensation unit 106. Specifically, Figure 2A illustrates a front view of a condensation duct 128 and the hose 108, Figure 2B illustrates different views of an outlet of the hose 108, and Figure 2C illustrates different views of an inlet of the hose 108. For the sake of brevity, Figures 2A to 2C have been explained together.

In an embodiment, the condensation unit 106 may be used for removing moisture from the first portion of air received from the drum 104. The condensation unit 106 may include but is not limited to, the condensation duct 128 and the hose 108. The condensation duct 128 may be coupled to the drum 104 and may receive the first portion of the air from the drum 104 in order to remove moisture therefrom. The condensation duct 128 may further include a first end 130 and a second end 132. Further, the first end 130 of the condensation duct 128 is coupled to the drum 104 and may receive the first portion of air for removing moisture and the second end 132 of the condensation duct 128 may be fluidically coupled to the heater 122 in the heating unit 102 to heat the incoming air. The height elevation between the first end 130 and the second end 132 of the condensation duct 128 is defined by a height H1. In an embodiment, the condensation duct 128 may also include a water inlet 150 which may be used to supply water to facilitate condensation of the first portion of air supplied to the condensation duct 128 by the drum 104.

Further, the hose 108, may be fluidically connected to the condensation duct 128 and may be used to supply ambient air with the first portion of air to form the incoming air. The hose 108 and the condensation duct 128 may be connected at a joint 134 using a snap-fit mechanism. The hose 108 may include, but is not limited to, a first section 144 having an inlet 136, a bellow section 138, and a second section 146 having an outlet 140.

The inlet 136 of the hose 108 may have a blower 142 installed which works in conjunction to supply ambient air from the atmosphere. The height elevation between the inlet 136 of the hose 108 and the first end 130 of the condensation duct 128 may be defined by height H2. The elevation of the inlet 136 of the hose 108 with respect to the first end 130 of the condensation duct 128 may be greater than the elevation of the second end 132 of the condensation duct 128 with respect to the first end 130 of the condensation duct 128. The inlet 136 along with the blower 142 may be mounted on the housing 110 of the washing machine 100 using screws. The elevation of the hose 108 indicated that the inlet 136 along with the blower 142 may be mounted above the drum 104.

In one example, the bellow section 138 may be used to connect the first section 144 and the second section 146 to change an overall length of the hose 108. The bellow section 138 may have an extendable pipe structure that enables a change in the length of the hose 108 which makes the hose 108 compatible with washing machines 100 of different designs and dimensions. Further, the outlet 140 may be fluidically coupled to the condensation duct 128 along the length and may supply the ambient air coming from the inlet 136 of the hose 108 to the condensation duct 128. The outlet 140 may have a narrower width than the condensation duct 128 and hence the outlet 140 of the hose 108 may be snap-fitted in an opening in the condensation duct 128.

Referring now to Figure 3, flow-path of air within the washing machine 100 is now be explained in detail. Specifically, Figure 3 illustrates a flow-path of air within the washing machine 100. The air flow begins from the drum 104, wherein the heated air 302 is circulated in the drum 104 in order to dry the articles. Once the drying of the articles is completed in the drum 104, the first portion 304 of air enters the first end 130 of the condensation duct 128. Simultaneously, the second portion 306 of air from the drum 104 enters the air outlet unit 126. The air outlet unit 126 allows the egress of the saturated second portion 306 of air received from the drum 104 into the atmosphere outside the housing 110 of the washing machine 100. Further, the water from the water inlet enters to aid the condensation of the first portion 304 of air in the condensation duct 128.

After the condensation has been completed, the first portion 304 of air travels in an upward direction towards the second end 132 of the condensation duct 128. Simultaneously, the ambient air 308 enters through the inlet 136 of the hose 108 along with the blower 142 and travels through the bellow section 138 and the outlet 140 of the hose 108 to finally mix with the first portion 304 of air to form the incoming air 310. The incoming air 310 then travels from the condensation unit 106 to the heating unit 102.

The incoming air 310 from the condensation unit 106 then enters the fan unit 120 of the heating unit 102. The fan unit 120 recirculates the incoming air 310 and increases the pressure of the incoming air 310. Further, the pressurized incoming air 310 is received by the heater 122, such that the heater 122 heats the pressurized incoming air 310 to a predefined temperature which is further used for drying the articles in the drum 104 to form the heated air 302. The heater 122 then supplies the heated air 302 to the drum 104 using the fan unit 124, thus completing a cycle defining the flow-path of air in the washing machine 100.

Figure 4 illustrates another flow-path of the air within the washing machine 100, in accordance with an embodiment of the present disclosure. Explained in conjunction with Figure 3, the second portion 306 of air from the drum 104 enters the air outlet unit 126, which is further connected to the secondary condensation unit 402. The condensed moisture 312 from the first portion 304 of air and the ambient air 308 from the hose 108 enters into the drainage unit 404, which is also connected to the secondary condensation unit 402 parallelly to the air outlet unit 126. The secondary condensation unit 402 includes an inlet 406 for the drainage unit 404 and an inlet 408 for the air outlet unit 126. The secondary condensation unit 402 is adapted to receive an outlet end 410 of the drainage unit 404 and an outlet end 412 of the air outlet unit 126 in the inlet 406 of the drainage unit 404 and the inlet 408 for the air outlet unit 126, respectively.

The condensed moisture 312 and water from the drum 104, the condensation duct 128, and the hose 108 are passed into the secondary condensation unit 402 through the drainage unit 404 in form of drainage water. When the first portion 304 of air passes through the secondary condensation unit 402, the secondary condensation unit 402 is adapted to condense moisture from the first portion 304 of air along with the ambient air 308, once the first portion 304 of air along with the ambient air 308 comes in contact with the water flowing through the secondary condensation unit 402. The condensed moisture of the first portion 304 of air along with the ambient air 208 mixes with the water flowing through the secondary condensation unit 402, and is drained out through the drainpipe 414 as wastewater.

According to the present disclosure, the introduction of the hose 108 and use of ambient air 308 in the washing machine 100 facilitates increasing the airflow rate within the system thereby preventing foam leakage. The prevention of foam leakage also ensures that the humidity of incoming air is maintained at a lower value thereby ensuring the heating unit 104 performs efficiently. Further, the venting of excess/saturated air from the air outlet unit 126 results in a reduced cycle time. The presence of ambient air 308 also helps in lowering the overall system temperature, enabling the heating unit 102 to work continuously at an optimum temperature without the need for the heater 122 cutoff, thus reducing the cycle time even further. Moreover, the lower system temperature also contributes to reduced creases on the articles, improving the overall quality of drying. The increased elevation of the air outlet unit 126 and the hose 108 eliminates the chances of leakage of foam which may be created due to one of an excessive usage of detergent or by using fewer articles in a washing and drying cycle. The present disclosure features an air outlet unit 126 and a drainpipe 408 that connect to a secondary condensation unit 402, which may be further linked to a drain. This setup effectively reduces moisture from the exhaust air, making it easier to remove the exhaust air from the system.

As would be apparent to a person in the art, various working modifications may be made to the method in order to implement the inventive concept as taught herein. The drawings and the foregoing description give examples of embodiments. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that one or more of the described elements may well be combined into a single functional element. Alternatively, certain elements may be split into multiple functional elements. Elements from one embodiment may be added to another embodiment.
