WASHING MACHINE AND CLOTHES TREATING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17954031 titled 'WASHING MACHINE AND CLOTHES TREATING APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a washing machine with a driving device that includes a drum shaft, a motor, and a planetary gear assembly. The planetary gear assembly consists of a sun gear connected to a rotor, a carrier connected to the drum shaft, a planetary gear to transmit power from the sun gear to the carrier, an internal gear engaged with the planetary gear, and a sealing member to seal the gap between the carrier and the internal gear.

  • The driving device of the washing machine includes a planetary gear assembly.
  • The planetary gear assembly consists of a sun gear, a carrier, a planetary gear, an internal gear, and a sealing member.
  • The sun gear is connected to a rotor, while the carrier is connected to the drum shaft.
  • The planetary gear transmits the rotary power from the sun gear to the carrier.
  • The internal gear engages with the planetary gear.
  • The sealing member is used to seal the gap between the carrier and the internal gear.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be applied in various types of washing machines.
  • It can be used in both residential and commercial washing machines.

Problems Solved

  • The planetary gear assembly helps in efficient transmission of power from the motor to the drum shaft.
  • The sealing member prevents any leakage or damage caused by the gap between the carrier and the internal gear.

Benefits

  • The use of a planetary gear assembly improves the overall performance and durability of the washing machine.
  • The sealing member ensures the longevity of the driving device by preventing any potential damage.
  • The efficient transmission of power results in better washing machine functionality and energy efficiency.


Original Abstract Submitted

A washing machine including a main body, a tub, a drum, and a driving device. The driving device includes a drum shaft, a motor, and a planetary gear assembly. The planetary gear assembly includes a sun gear connected to a rotor, a carrier connected to the drum shaft, a planetary gear to transmit a rotary power of the sun gear to the carrier, an internal gear engaged with the planetary gear, and a sealing member configured to seal a gap between the carrier and the internal gear.
