Abstract

The flow analyses in this study were executed on the three washing machine models with the rotors like real shapes. On the pressures and speeds for the left, right and bottom planes of rotors, model C was generally found to have the greatest pressure on the flow, more than twice as much as model A, and in order of model B and model A. At the streamline velocities of flow on the side of the rotating blades of models A, B and C, model C had the greatest rate of flow overall, which was 1.7 times higher than model A, followed by model B and model A. In case of model C, the number of blades is smaller than model A or model B, but the thickness of lower rotor becomes thicker. It can be seen that model C improves the washing performance due to the high flow pressure and high flow rate. Also, it is seen that this study is adequate at the efficient design with durability of the washing machine rotor practically and the aesthetic convergence of the rotor.

본 연구에서는 실제형상과 같은 회전날개들을 가진 세 개의 세탁기의 모델들에 대하여 유동해석을 하였다. 회전날개의 좌측, 우측 및 바닥 평면들에 대한 압력 및 속도들에서는, 전반적으로 Model C가 유동에 대한 압력이 가장 크게 나와서 Model A에 비하여 2배 이상 나타났고, Model B와 Model A순으로 되었다. Model A, B 및 C의 회전 블레이드 측면에서의 유동의 유선속도들을 보면, 전반적으로 Model C가 유동에 대한 속도가 가장 크게 나와서 Model A에 비하여 1.7배 가량 나타났고, Model B와 Model A순으로 되었다. 회전날개의 갯수가 많다고 해서 유동상태가 양호하다기 보다 Model C와 같이 Model A나 Model B에 비하여 날개의 개수가 적지만 날개의 하부 두께가 더 두꺼운 경우가 유동 압력 및 유동 속도가 커서 세탁성능을 향상시켜 준다는 것을 알 수 있다. 또한 본 연구가 실제적으로 세탁기 회전날개의 내구성이 있는 효율적인 설계와 그 회전 날개의 미적인 융합에 적합하여 보인다.
