DRUM-TYPE WASHING MACHINE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240158979 titled 'DRUM-TYPE WASHING MACHINE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a drum-type washing machine with an air-flow noise reduction mechanism.
- The washing machine includes a casing with an inlet for loading and unloading laundry.
- A tub is placed in the casing, accessible through the inlet, and can store water.
- A drum inside the tub rotates about an axis while laundry is loaded.
- Pipe connection portions on the tub's side surface can be connected to pipes.
- An air-flow noise reduction mechanism is placed in at least one pipe connection portion to control air-flow caused by drum rotation.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in household washing machines, industrial laundry facilities, and commercial laundromats.
Problems Solved
The innovation addresses the issue of noise generated by air-flow during drum rotation in washing machines, providing a quieter laundry experience.
Benefits
The air-flow noise reduction mechanism improves user experience by reducing noise levels during laundry cycles, making the washing machine more pleasant to use.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be utilized in the development of new washing machine models for various markets, catering to consumers looking for quieter laundry appliances.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include washing machines with noise reduction features, but the specific implementation of an air-flow noise reduction mechanism in a drum-type washing machine may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the air-flow noise reduction mechanism impact the overall efficiency of the washing machine?
The article does not provide information on whether the noise reduction mechanism affects the washing machine's performance or energy consumption.
Are there any specific maintenance requirements for the air-flow noise reduction mechanism?
The article does not mention if the mechanism requires regular maintenance or if it can affect the overall durability of the washing machine.
Original Abstract Submitted
a drum-type washing machine including a casing having an inlet through which laundry is loaded and unloaded, a tub arrangeable in the casing so that while the tub is arranged in the casing, an inside of the tub is accessible through the inlet, the tub being able to store water, a drum arrangeable in the tub to rotate about an axis extending in forward and rearward directions while the laundry is loaded into the drum, a plurality of pipe connection portions, arrangeable on a side surface of the tub, to be connected to pipes, and an air-flow noise reduction mechanism, arrangeable in at least one pipe connection portion among the plurality of pipe connection portions, to control air-flow caused by rotation of the drum.
