WASHING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240247425 titled 'WASHING MACHINE
The present disclosure pertains to a washing machine with a unique pump system for draining and circulating wash water efficiently.
- The washing machine comprises a tub, a rotatable drum inside the tub, and a pump for managing the wash water.
- The pump includes a pump housing with a drain chamber, a drain pump with a drain impeller for creating drain pressure, and two drain hose connectors for different directions of water flow.
- A first drain hose is connected to the upper drain hose connector, while a second drain hose is connected to the lower drain hose connector for optimal water drainage.
Potential Applications: - This innovative pump system can be utilized in various types of washing machines to improve water drainage efficiency. - It can also be adapted for use in other appliances requiring effective water circulation mechanisms.
Problems Solved: - Addresses the issue of slow or inefficient water drainage in traditional washing machine pump systems. - Provides a solution for better water circulation during the washing cycle.
Benefits: - Enhanced performance in draining and circulating wash water. - Improved overall efficiency of the washing machine. - Reduced water wastage and energy consumption.
Commercial Applications: "Efficient Pump System for Washing Machines: Enhancing Water Drainage and Circulation" This technology can be marketed to appliance manufacturers looking to improve the functionality of their washing machines, potentially increasing consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
Questions about the Efficient Pump System for Washing Machines: 1. How does this pump system compare to traditional washing machine pump designs? - The innovative design of this pump system allows for more efficient water drainage and circulation compared to traditional systems.
2. What are the potential cost savings associated with implementing this pump system in washing machines? - By improving water drainage efficiency, this pump system can lead to reduced water and energy consumption, resulting in long-term cost savings for consumers.
Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure relates to a washing machine. the washing machine includes a tub, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, and a pump for draining and circulating wash water. the pump includes a pump housing, a drain chamber formed in the pump housing, a drain pump mounted in the drain chamber and provided with a drain impeller for generating a drain pressure in the drain chamber, a first drain hose connector extending from the upper portion of the drain chamber to drain the wash water in response to rotation of the impeller in one direction, a second drain hose connector extending from the lower portion of the drain chamber to drain the wash water in response to rotation of the impeller in the opposite direction, a first drain hose connected to the first drain hose connector, and a second drain hose connected to the second drain hose connector.
