Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2012085825A1] A laundry washing machine for domestic use has an oscillating assembly (10) that is supported by a structure (2) in a rotatable way so as to be displaceable about a substantially horizontal axis of inclination (A) between at least one upright position, where the driving axis (B) of the laundry drum (14) is oriented substantially in a vertical direction, and at least one reclined position, where the driving axis (B) of the laundry drum (14) is oriented substantially in a horizontal direction. The control system of the machine (1) is configured for governing execution of at least one washing step when the oscillating assembly (10) is in the reclined position and for governing execution of at least one rinsing step and at least one centrifugation step when the oscillating assembly (10) is in the upright position. The structure (2) includes a first liquid-collecting region (45) and a second liquid-collecting region (46), which extend substantially underneath the oscillating assembly (10). The drain passageway (40-41) of the tub (12) has an outlet in a position eccentric with respect to the driving axis of the drum (B) such that: - with the oscillating assembly (10) in the reclined position, said outlet generally faces the first liquid-collecting region (45), in particular for releasing therein liquid during the discharge step that follows the at least one washing step; and - with the oscillating assembly (10) in the upright position, said outlet generally faces the second liquid-collecting region (46), in particular for releasing therein liquid during the discharge step that follows the at least one rinsing step and/or during the at least one centrifugation step.
