  • Publication number: 20230183907
    Abstract: A laundry washing appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub. A sanitization mechanism delivers ozone into a processing space defined within the drum for sanitizing laundry within the drum. An ozone generator of the sanitization mechanism generates ozone gas wherein the sanitization mechanism includes an injection device that injects the ozone into the drum during a specific rotational operation of the drum.

  • Publication number: 20230055113
    Abstract: A laundry appliance includes a tub positioned within an outer cabinet. A drum is rotationally operable within the tub. A fluid pump directs a process fluid through a fluid path that includes the tub. A fine-particle filter is positioned within the fluid path. The fine-particle filter separates microfibers from the process fluid to define captured microfibers.

  • Publication number: 20140285015
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric system for driving electric charges, particularly meant to be applied in electric household appliances and, more preferably, for driving dispenser valves for the supply of water and inputs for washing. The system of the present invention is comprised of innovative technical and functional aspects responsible for simplifying the production lines of these appliances. More particularly, the charge driving system, according to the present invention, comprises a power driver (D) powered by a power source (V1), to carry a current flow to two electric charges (10, 20), each one connected to a corresponding one of filtering elements (D1, D2), which are installed in an inverted manner in relation to one another.

  • Publication number: 20140232312
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for starting a washing machine electric motor and, more particularly, an adaptive method for starting a washing machine electric motor, which is especially able to control the firing angle (preferably during the centrifugation cycles) of the voltage cycles depending on the electrical supply voltage and its possible and unpredictable variations and/or oscillations. Such firing angle control of the electrical supply voltage of the electric motor comprises a dynamic control based on the result of the comparisons in the previous steps, and is performed by generating at least one additional correction signal (ASC) based on the result of the comparison between the actual value of the electrical supply voltage of the electric motor and at least one predetermined reference value, and the additional correction signal (ASC) being responsible for controlling the firing angle of the electrical supply voltage of the electric motor.
