Abstract (en)

[origin: US6341507B1] The invention relates to a laundry treatment apparatus like washing machines, laundry dryers or a washer-dryers with a rotatably mounted drum (6) with an at least approximately horizontal axle and with a drive motor (10) structured as a synchronous motor (10) energized by permanent magnets arranged on the drum (6) shaft, the stator (16) of the motor (10) being provided with a winding (18) which is energized by a converter. In order to optimize the motor in such machines in respect of energy consumption, noise development and costs it is proposed to design the winding (18) as a single pole winding, whereby the number of stator poles (27) and of the magnet poles (23) is different, and to utilize a frequency converter (104) as the converter the output voltage of which being set such the continuous currents are generated in all winding strands.
