Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dryer, especially top-loading, or "top-loading”, this dryer being equipped with a condensate recovery tank, that is to say the recovery of the drying water.
  • a dryer is an electrical appliance which comprises a tank, or box, containing a rotary drum, generally of horizontal axis, in which the wet linen, which is brewed by the rotation, generally of alternating type, of this drum, is subjected to a clear and dry air flow intended for drying.
  • the drying water resulting from the condensation, or in other words the condensates, is often recovered in a tray for collecting these condensates which is generally placed in the lower part of the box and which is accessible from the outside so that the user can take it out to empty it.
  • the access door of the dryer results in fairly poor sound and thermal insulation of the dryer, the humid heat and the noise escaping relatively significantly through this door, the sealing characteristics of which are fairly limited.
  • the invention aims to remedy this kind of drawback. To this end, it relates to a tumble dryer with a rotary drum, in particular with top loading, and one side of which has an access door, this tumble dryer being provided with a condensate recovery tank which is provided to be installed between this door and the drum.
  • the bin In the case of a top-loading dryer, the bin is located between the door and the top of the drum.
  • sealing means are provided between the side wall of the recovery tank, joining its upper and lower walls, and the box which delimits the aforementioned space thus filled by this tank.
  • means for hooking the container against the internal face, the access door also comes out, these means being provided so that this container remains integral with the door, which causes then the tank with it during its opening movement, when this tank is substantially empty or contains only a predetermined quantity of water and not obstructing, taking into account the space remaining in this tank, use of the latter for a new drying cycle and on the contrary so that it detaches from this door, thus obstructing the access opening of the box, during its opening movement, when it is full or at least contains a quantity of water greater than this determined value, so that the user is then informed of this fact that it is advisable to empty this tank before filling the dryer and starting a new cycle of drying.
  • this is the upper part of a dryer 1 to a rotary drum 2, loading sleep is carried out from above and therefore comprising an access door 3 which constitutes most of the substantially horizontal upper face 4 of this dryer, the latter further comprising the organs and operating buttons 5 of this dryer.
  • drum 2 itself comprises a conventional access door 6.
  • this single door 3 does not by itself allow satisfactory sound insulation, the bare space 7 being ineffective for such insulation.
  • this space 7 here receives almost all of the tray 9 for recovering condensates, that is to say recovery of the drying water.
  • This water is supplied here to this tank 9 by means of a gate valve 10, located on the right side (which will be designated hereinafter by “rear side") of the tank and at the top of that -ci, and a pipe 11 which removably connects this tap 10 to a pump, itself connected to a buffer tank (not shown).
  • the major part of the lower face 12 of this tank follows the arcuate shape of the upper part of the drum 2, while its upper face 13 comes almost into abutment against almost all the aforementioned internal face 8 of the door 3;
  • the container 9 rests on the plastic "box" 14 which, with three of the vertical walls 15, delimits the space 7, by means of a seal 16 molded onto the box and provided between this box 14 and the lower part of the side wall 17 which joins the faces 12 and 13 of the tank.
  • the emptying of the tank 9 is possible by the user, after he has extracted it from the space 7, thanks to an upper orifice 18 normally obstructed by a removable plug 19.
  • the tank 9 When the tank 9 is empty, or filled with a relatively small amount of water 20 as is the case in FIG. 1, it is made integral with the internal face 8 of the door 3 by means of a part of two magnetic closures 21, 22, which removably secure the "rear” halves of the container 9 and of the door 3, and on the other hand of a removable mechanical fastener comprising a "clip” with plastic spring 23 fixed on the door 3 and cooperating with a complementary cavity 24 provided for this purpose at the front of the tank 9.
  • a hollow siphon 25 is provided for molding in the bottom of the plastic container 3, in order to empty suddenly from the rear part of this tank towards its front part the quantity of water 20 which has gradually accumulated in this rear part, of relatively smaller volume, when the level of this quantity of "rear” water 20 reaches height of an edge 38 of separation between these two parts, rear and front, of the tank.
  • the siphon 25 then suddenly starts and causes, as shown in Figure 3, the sudden transfer of the amount of water 20 in the front part of the tank: in this position, the center of gravity of the container has moved so that the retention force of the clips 23, 24 and the magnetic fasteners 21, 22 becomes insufficient day retain this container against the door 3 if the latter is opened .
  • valve 10 closes automatically when, as seen in Figure 2, the door 3 opens by carrying with it the tank 9, which is preferable to prevent the condensation water 9 from flowing then in the dryer.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 an enlarged view of the automatically removable connection between the pipe 11 and the vertical rear wall of the container 9 is shown, for information only, in FIGS. 5 and 6, respectively with the container in place on the drum 2, according to Figure 1, and with this container tilted upright towards the rear, according to Figure 2.
  • the pipe 11 is rigid and its mouth is constituted by a rigid nozzle 26 of tapered shape, which crosses the wall of the box 14 with the interposition of a seal 37.
  • the nozzle In the coupling position between the nozzle 26 and the valve 10 (see Figure 5), the nozzle passes through a sealed and flexible diaphragm 27 of the valve 10 and comes, by pushing on the opening 28 with spring 30, make the opening from this valve 10: the water can therefore flow freely in the tank, according to arrow f, through an orifice 29 provided for this purpose in the opening body 28.
  • the condensation on the underside 12 of the tank 9 is very reduced, due to the relatively high temperature of the water 20 in the tank and the practical absence of thermal transfer with the outside.
  • the lower surface 12 of the tank follows the cylindrical shape of the drum 2, a device for cleaning this surface 12 which is constituted by a brush broom 31, a felt, or the like, fixed on the external face of this drum 2, oriented according to a generator thereof, and advantageously placed close from one of the circumferential ends of the door 8 so that it is not visible to the user when he loads or unloads his machine.
  • the arrival of the condensates takes place on the upper face 13 of the tank 9, and not on its lateral face 17.
  • the aforementioned plug 19 of the opening 18 is therefore replaced by an elastic diaphragm 32, identical to the diaphragm 27 in FIGS. 5 and 6, while the rigid nozzle 26 is orthogonal to the door 3 and constitutes the free end of a rigid channel 33 which passes inside the door 3.
  • this channel 33 and the nozzle 26 are created by molding with the plastic door 3.
  • the other end 34 of this channel 33 is connected to the rigid pipe 11 by a flexible connector 35.
  • Figures 8 and 9 are similar to Figures 2 and 4 above, and therefore show the operation of the door / tray device when this tray is very little filled with water ( Figures 7 and 8), in which case the tray 9 lifts with door 3, and when it is much fuller with water (Figure 9), in which case the tank 9 remains in place on the drum 2 if the door 3 is opened.
