LAUNDRY TREATING APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133102 titled 'LAUNDRY TREATING APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a laundry treating apparatus with a unique mechanism for opening and closing the laundry inlet.
- The apparatus includes a drawer with a laundry inlet at the top face, a tub with a drum inside, a door for the laundry inlet, a lever with a magnetic field generator and sensor, a slide, an actuating body, and an inclined body.
- The lever is pivotably coupled in the housing and moves up and down, activating the magnetic field generator and sensor to control the opening and closing of the laundry inlet.
- The actuating body on the lever interacts with the slide, which has the inclined body corresponding to it, creating a mechanism for the operation of the laundry inlet.
- This innovative design allows for easy and efficient access to the laundry inlet, enhancing the user experience of the laundry treating apparatus.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in household laundry machines, commercial laundry facilities, and industrial laundry equipment.
Problems Solved
The technology solves the problem of inconvenient access to the laundry inlet in traditional laundry machines, providing a more user-friendly experience.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved ease of use, enhanced efficiency in laundry treatment, and a more convenient operation for users.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in the development of new laundry machines for both residential and commercial use, offering a competitive advantage in the market.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional laundry machines with manual door mechanisms for accessing the laundry inlet.
Unanswered Questions
How does the magnetic field generator and sensor interact to control the opening and closing of the laundry inlet?
The magnetic field generator and sensor work together to detect the position of the lever and activate the mechanism for opening and closing the laundry inlet.
What materials are used in the construction of the lever, slide, and other components of the apparatus?
The materials used in the construction of the components are not specified in the abstract, but they would likely be durable and heat-resistant materials suitable for use in a laundry treating apparatus.
Original Abstract Submitted
a laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet; a drawer including a first through-hole at a top face of the drawer; a tub disposed in the drawer, the tub including a laundry inlet communicating with the drawer first through-hole; a drum rotatably disposed in the tub; a door for opening and closing the drawer first through-hole or the laundry inlet; a housing; a lever having a fixed end pivotably coupled in the housing, and a free end configured to move up and down in the housing; a magnetic field generator disposed at one of the free end of the lever or the drawer; a magnetic field sensor disposed at another of the free end of the lever or the drawer; a slide in the housing; an actuating body disposed at the lever and protruding toward the slide; and an inclined body disposed at the slide and corresponding to the actuating body.
