摘要:
An electric motor having low vibration and/or noise comprises a rotor or stator comprising permanent magnets each comprising at least two pole pairs, with an internal flux gap within the permanent magnets between adjacent internal pole pairs. The internal flux gap between the internal pole pairs may be similar to an external pole to pole physical spacing between adjacent poles of adjacent magnets. The motor is suitable for use in for example a laundry washing machine or dryer or washer-dryer.

A dishwasher comprises an internal reservoir for rinse-aid or other wash or rinse additive, a door associated with a refill port to the rinse-aid reservoir, and a flexible conduit between the refill port and the rinse-aid reservoir. The door associated with the refill port to the rinse-aid reservoir may also carry or enable access to a detergent compartment.

An electric motor assembly suitable for use in a laundry washing machine or dryer or washer-dryer, is of the axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor direct-drive type, with the stator coils carried by a rotor bearing housing component to provide a primary heat conduction pathway from the stator coils to the bearing housing 5 component, and to a drum of the machine. The motor may be positioned between axially spaced bearings mounting the rotor.

A throat assembly (14) for forming the peripheral front face of the compartment opening of a refrigeration appliance (1). The throat assembly spanning the gap between respective front edges of a refrigerator cabinet (3) outer wrapper (2) and the compartment inner liner (13). The throat assembly includes at least one elongate plastics injection moulded component having a panel (15) including a planar front face (21) for contact with a door gasket seal (16) and an elongate magnet arrangement at its rear face (22) for magnetic coupling with a door gasket magnet (20). The throat assembly may comprise plural such interconnected elongate members providing a monolithic frame, formed in a single injection moulding operation, surrounding the compartment opening.

A suspension unit assembly comprises a strut having a first end and a second end and a coupling disposed at the first end of the strut. The coupling has a strut part connected to the strut and a mounting part configured to tilt relative to the strut part of the coupling. A spring is disposed about the strut, one end of the spring being restrained relative to the mounting part of the coupling so that tilting movement between the strut part and the mounting part of the coupling causes the spring to deform and provide a return force that acts to return the coupling to an equilibrium position.
摘要:
A rotor for a motor comprising a frame having a hub for connecting the rotor to a shaft and a perimeter portion for interacting with a stator of the motor to cause the rotor to rotate about an axis of rotation. The frame comprises legs extending from an outer portion of the frame towards the hub, each leg having an inner end at the hub and an outer end at the outer portion of the frame, the inner ends of a first plurality of legs being spaced from the inner ends of a second plurality of legs in a direction along the axis of rotation.

A linear compressor has a hollow piston with crown and sidewall. The piston reciprocates in a cylinder. A piston rod connects the piston to a spring. A connection between the piston rod and the piston transmits axial forces directly to the piston crown. The connection transmits lateral forces to the piston at an axial location away from the piston crown. The connection allows rotational flexibility between the piston and the piston rod transverse to and uniformly around the piston reciprocation axis.Other improvements in or relating to linear compressors are disclosed and claimed.
摘要:
A laundry appliance having a perforated rotatable drum for spin dehydrating a wet textile load, an electric motor for providing an accelerating force which in use causes the drum to rotate, load sensors for detecting any static dynamic imbalance in the rotation of the drum, and a controller which receives inputs from the load sensors and is programmed to, in a spin-up phase, energize said electric motor so as to evenly distribute the load within the drum and thereby minimize any static or dynamic imbalance when the drum rotates.
摘要:
A pump for washing appliance is described. The pump has a pump casing in which an impeller is located. The pump casing has an inlet and outlet, and an inlet conduit extending from the inlet at a small angle above the horizontal. The ceiling includes a downwardly extending dividing wall section extending radially from a central location to a side wall of the casing. The dividing wall is positioned between the inlet outlet. The ceiling incorporates a ramped surface rising around the central location, between the outlet side and the inlet side of the dividing wall. The ramped surface is higher adjacent the inlet side than the outlet side of the dividing wall section so that when the impeller is not rotating, air inside the pump chamber will rise up the ramped surface through the inlet and up the inlet conduit.
摘要:
A laundry appliance includes a cabinet or surround structure with an attachment for a removable front panel and a removable front panel for attachment to the cabinet. The appliance is a drum and a drum support structure supporting the drum for rotation. There is a movement interface between the drum support structure and the cabinet or surround structure, allowing the drum support structure to move between an operating condition within the cabinet and a maintenance condition wherein the drum and drum support structure are at least substantially disposed outside the envelope defined by the cabinet. In the operating condition the drum and support structure are hidden behind the removable front panel. They may be moved out to the maintenance condition after removal of the front panel.
