DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[001] The embodiments herein generally relate to filter assemblies for filtering lint and microfibers in washing machines and more particularly, to a system and a method for filtering microfibers in a front load washing machine.

BACKGROUND
[002] Generally, during washing of laundry in a washing machine, lint and microfibers get discharged from clothes due to friction between the clothes. The fibers discharged from the clothes are sometimes lesser than 1mm, which makes the fibers to be easily mixed with the water being drained from the washing machine. The fibers drained from the washing machine may get mixed with water bodies, therefore, contributing to pollution of the water bodies. Further, the lint and microfibers get attached to washed clothes, affecting the quality of the clothes after a wash. To filter the lint and microfibers discharged in the water during a washing and rinsing cycle of the washing machine, generally, washing machines are provided with a lint/ microfiber filter.
[003] Conventionally, in front load washing machines, the lint filter is located in the drain pump filter area, which is generally located near a bottom of a front panel of the washing machine. The lint is collected during the wash in the lint filter, and then drained out with the water after the washing cycle. The accumulated lint in the lint filter is drained out with water, thereby cleaning the lint filter. However, the lint filter requires cleaning at intervals to remove any accumulated lint which may not have been drained out with water. If the lint filter is not cleaned at regular intervals, the accumulated lint in the lint filter may clog the draining outlet of the washing machine.
[004] In some washing machines, the lint filter is provided behind the front panel, wherein the front panel needs to be removed to access the lint filter, which makes the cleaning of the lint filter cumbersome and time consuming. To overcome this issue, some washing machines provide a separate access door to provide access to the lint filter for cleaning. Although such systems provide ease in maintenance by reducing the frequency of cleaning the lint filter, however, draining out the lint and microfibers with water causes pollution in the water bodies and environment in which the water is being discharged. Further, since the lint is filtered just before draining of water in the drain pump filter area, there is a possibility of the lint and microfibers to accumulate near the door seal, thereby making it difficult to clean the door area of the washing machine.
[005] Therefore, there exists a need for a system and a method for filtering microfibers in washing machine which obviates the aforementioned drawbacks.

The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said central chamber (120) is adapted to receive a protruding member (102P) of said at least one water delivering member (102), wherein said central chamber (120) includes a plurality of guiding segments (124) adapted to guide water egressing said storage chamber (104) from said water outlet (108) of said at least one water delivering member (102), towards said filter assembly (100).
10. The system (100) as claimed in claim 8, wherein said central chamber (120) is fastened onto the central portion (12P) of the drum (12) of the washing machine (10).
11. The system (100) as claimed in claim 1, wherein said filter assembly (200) comprises:
a microfiber filter (202) configured to filter microfiber from the water received from said central chamber (120); and
a filter housing (204) adapted to house said microfiber filter (202), said filter housing (204) configured to be removably connected with said central chamber (120),
wherein said filter housing (204) includes a plurality of openings (206) adapted to allow filtered water to exit said filter assembly (200) into the drum (12) of the washing machine (10).
12. The system (100) as claimed in claim 11, wherein said filter assembly (200) comprises:
a holder (208) adapted to be accommodated on said central chamber (120);
at least one non-return valve (210) connected on said holder (208),
wherein,
said holder (208) includes at least one aperture (208A) corresponding to said water outlet (108) of said at least one water delivering member (102), wherein said aperture (208A) is adapted to facilitate entry of water from said central chamber (120) into said filter assembly (200); and
said non-return valve (210) is configured to be displaced to an open position (OP) to allow entry of water from said aperture (208A) of said holder (208) into said filter assembly (200), and displaced to a closed position (CP) to prevent water to flow back into said at least one water delivering member (102).

13. A method (300) for filtering microfibers in a washing machine (10), said method (300) comprising:
supplying water, by at least one water delivering member (102) of a system (100) for filtering microfibers in the washing machine (10), from a drum (12) of the washing machine (10), to a central chamber (120) of said system (100);
directing, by said central chamber (120), water from said at least one water delivering member (102) to a filter assembly (200) of said system (100);
filtering, by said filter assembly (200), microfibers from water received from said central chamber (120); and
recirculating, by said system (100), filtered water from said filter assembly (200) into the drum (12) of the washing machine (10).
14. The method (300) as claimed in claim 13, wherein said suppling water by said at least one water delivering member (102) comprises:
receiving, by said at least one water delivering member (102) through a water inlet (106) of said at least one water delivering member (102), water from the drum (12) of the washing machine (10);
storing, by a storage chamber (104) of said at least one water delivering member (102), water received through said water inlet (106); and
directing, by a water outlet (108) of said at least one water delivering member (102), water from said storage chamber (104) to said central chamber (120),
wherein said at least one water delivering member (102), rotates with the drum (12), wherein water from said storage chamber (104) is directed into said central chamber (120) by effect of gravity.
15. The method (300) as claimed in claim 13, wherein said filtering by said filter assembly (200) comprise:
receiving, water from said central chamber (120) into said filter assembly (200), through at least one aperture (208A) defined in a holder (208) of said filter assembly (200);
displacing, by said non-return valve (210) to an open position (OP) to allow water from said aperture (208A) of said holder (208) to enter said filter assembly (200);
displacing, by said non-return valve (210) to a closed position, to retain water in said filter assembly (200);
filtering, by a microfiber filter (202), microfibers from water received through said aperture (208A) of said holder (208); and
allowing, by a plurality of openings (206) of a filter housing (204) of said filter assembly (200), water to exit said filter assembly (200) into the drum (12) of the washing machine (10).
