LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240133110 titled 'LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The laundry treatment apparatus described in the patent application includes a housing, tub, drum, heater, tub through-portion, support members, second support members, and connectors.
- The tub through-portion allows the heater to be inserted between the bottom surface of the drum and the bottom surface of the tub.
- The second support members protrude from the circumferential surface of the tub, with the same number as the first support members, and are connected by connectors.
Potential Applications
The technology described in the patent application could be used in household washing machines, industrial laundry equipment, and commercial dryers.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently heating the laundry load by positioning the heater in a space between the drum and tub, ensuring effective and uniform heating.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved energy efficiency, faster laundry cycles, and better overall performance in terms of laundry treatment.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology could be applied in commercial laundry facilities, laundromats, and industrial settings where large volumes of laundry need to be processed efficiently.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be traditional washing machines with heaters positioned in different locations, leading to uneven heating and potential energy wastage.
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact the overall energy consumption of the laundry treatment apparatus?
This technology could potentially reduce energy consumption by ensuring more efficient heating of the laundry load, but specific data on energy savings would be needed to confirm this.
What are the maintenance requirements for this laundry treatment apparatus compared to traditional models?
It is unclear from the abstract how the design of this apparatus may impact maintenance requirements, such as cleaning, repairs, or part replacements. Further details would be needed to address this question.
