WASHING-SQUEEZING MACHINE Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: domestic washing machine. SUBSTANCE: washing-squeezing machine has conical centrifuge tank provided with perforations proximate its upper edge and hollow shaft fixed centrally of bottom, activator mounted on hollow shaft and formed as blade shaft. Tank is attached with its bottom on casing of reducer which is provided with hollow shaft positioned in its lower part in axial alignment with hollow shaft of tank. Hollow shaft of reducer carries centrifugal coupling with control device formed as disk mounted on electric engine shaft and provided with concentric grooves and sector-shaped slots for cooperation with frictional blocks. Input shaft arranged within hollow shaft has lower end connected to electric engine shaft and upper end connected through toothed gear with eccentric, which converts rotation of input shaft into rocking motion of output shaft by means of connecting rod. Washing solution collecting vessel is mounted in lower part of washing machine housing. Cylindrical housing is fixed on outer shell of washing solution collecting vessel and provided with flow control device arranged in its upper part. Flow control device allows washing solution flowing from centrifuge to be controlled and directed into washing solution collecting vessel or into sewage system. EFFECT: increased efficiency, simplified construction and enhanced reliability in operation. 2 cl, 7 dwg
