Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine des appareils ménagers et plus spécialement destinés au séchage de linge après lavage.The present invention relates to the field of household appliances and more specially intended for drying laundry after washing.

On utilise couramment, notamment dans le logement en appartement, des séchoirs à linge constitués d'une structure supportant des fils notamment en métal plastifié alignés parallèlement et aptes à recevoir le linge de corps ou de maison en fin de lessive pour le séchage de ce dernier.It is commonly used, especially in apartment accommodation, clothes dryers consisting of a structure supporting wires, in particular metal laminated aligned in parallel and suitable for receiving body or household linen at the end of the laundry to dry it.

Les dispositifs connus tendent à présenter des fils d'étendage en rangs serrés et superposés de façon à permettre de compacter le volume d'encombrement pris par le linge en cours de séchage, afin de limiter le handicap et l'empiétement sur l'espace de vie que représente ce linge séchant pendant plusieurs heures.Known devices tend to have stretching wires in tight rows and superimposed so as to compact the volume taken up by the laundry being dried, in order to limit handicap and encroachment on the living space represented by this linen drying for several hours.

Cette accumulation du linge sur un espace réduit, s'il réduit l'encombrement, n'est cependant pas favorable à un séchage rapide, car il limite les possibilités de circulation d'air et surtout entretient le linge exposé dans une atmosphère locale chargée d'humidité, prolongeant par conséquent le temps de séchage; de sorte que les séchoirs couramment utilisés, tels ceux du type "tour", s'ils font gagner de l'espace, prolongent la période de mise en service, et l'on perd par la durée dans le temps l'avantage d'un encombrement réduit dans espace . L'idéal serait donc de bénéficier de séchoirs à exposition compactée et à séchage rapide, permettant de gagner sur les deux tableaux.This accumulation of laundry on a reduced space, if it reduces the bulk, is not however not conducive to rapid drying, as it limits the possibilities of air circulation and especially maintains exposed linen in a local atmosphere charged with humidity, consequently extending the drying time; so that commonly used dryers, such as the tower type, if they save space, extend the commissioning period, and you lose time in the advantage of reduced space requirement over time. The ideal would therefore be benefit from compacted and quick-drying driers, allowing to win on both counts.

Tel est l'objet de la présente invention qui permet d'accélérer fortement le temps nécessaire au séchage pour les lessives exposées sur les séchoirs repliables et à exposition compactée, notamment du type tour ou extensible à partir de structure en X ou en accordéon et déployable depuis une position repliée en période de non-utilisation vers une position déployée d'utilisation. This is the object of the present invention which makes it possible to greatly accelerate time. necessary for drying for detergents exposed on folding dryers and compacted exposure, especially of the tower type or expandable from X or accordion structure and deployable from a folded position period of non-use to a deployed position of use.

Et l'invention se propose d'associer à ces dispositifs un appareil auxiliaire source de chaleur permettant ainsi d'accélérer le processus d'évacuation de l'humidité imprégnant les linges exposés. On connaít des dispositifs de séchage de linge comportant une résistance positionnée à la base d'un support linéaire de linge, notamment selon le brevet français 1 444 953 et le brevet US 2 445 403. Ce dernier incorpore la résistance dans un boítier au couvercle perforéAnd the invention proposes to associate with these devices an auxiliary source device heat thus accelerating the moisture removal process impregnating exposed linen. We know laundry drying devices comprising a resistor positioned at the base of a linear support linen, in particular according to French patent 1,444,953 and the US patent 2 445 403. The latter incorporates the resistance in a case with a perforated cover

A cet effet l'invention concerne un dispositif menager auxiliaire pour le séchage de linge après lavage, conforme aux caractéristiques selon la revendication 1.To this end the invention relates to an auxiliary household device for drying laundry after washing, conforming to the characteristics according to claim 1.

Ces dispositifs laissent subsister le risque d'écoulement d'eau dégouttant du linge vers les résistances et les circuits électriques inférieurs d'où risque de court circuit. These devices leave the risk of leakage of water dripping from the laundry to the resistors and circuits lower electrical circuits, hence risk of short circuit.

Les caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention ressortiront encore de la description qui suit et qui est donnée à titre d'exemple non limitatif en se référant aux dessins annexés parmi lesquels :

  • La figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'un séchoir repliable, du type "tour", et recevant, en position inférieure, le dispositif de chauffage selon l'invention.
  • La figure 2 représente une vue éclatée selon une première variante de réalisation l'embase recevant la résistance et le couvercle en position supérieure, conformant ensemble le dispositif de l'invention.
  • La figure 3 représente plus en détail l'embase sans la résistance et le couvercle en position supérieure détachée, correspondant à la réalisation de la figure précédente.
    • The characteristics and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the description which follows and which is given by way of nonlimiting example with reference to the appended drawings among which:
  • FIG. 1 represents a perspective view of a folding dryer, of the "tower" type, and receiving, in the lower position, the heating device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 represents an exploded view according to a first alternative embodiment, the base receiving the resistance and the cover in the upper position, together shaping the device of the invention.
  • Figure 3 shows in more detail the base without the resistor and the cover in the detached upper position, corresponding to the embodiment of the previous figure.

    • Selon l'ensemble des figures, et notamment de la figure 1, on voit que le séchoir repliable, du type "tour" 1, a reçu des linges (dont un seul est ici représenté en 2 pour la clarté du dessin) en cours de séchage. Les quatre montants sont reliés à leur base par un croisillon, ici caché car étant sous le dispositif de chauffage de l'invention 3, reposant sur ce croisillon; mais selon les configurations des séchoirs, le dispositif de chauffage pourrait être place sous le croisillon.According to all of the figures, and in particular of FIG. 1, it can be seen that the dryer foldable, of the "tower" type 1, has received linen (only one of which is shown here in for clarity of the drawing) during drying. The four amounts are linked to their base by a cross, here hidden because being under the heating device of invention 3, based on this cross; but according to the configurations of dryers, the heater could be placed under the spider.

    Le dispositif de invention comporte une embase ou socle inférieur 4, par exemple en matière plastique moulé et constitué d'une plaquette plane 4a, pourvue de perforations 4B permettant à l'air frais d'accéder à la résistance de chauffage ci-après décrite.The device of the invention comprises a lower base or base 4, by example in molded plastic and consisting of a flat plate 4a, provided with 4B perforations allowing fresh air to access the resistance of heating described below.

    L'embase 4 repose sur des pieds 4 C, éventuellement pourvus de roulements. Cette embase peut comporter, venu de moulage un manchon 4 D de sortie du cordon d'alimentation 5. Des picots 4 E sont alignés selon deux rangées parallèles le long de deux cotés de l'embase et servent de support à la résistance filaire 5a qui court d'une rangée à l'autre des picots ou ergots supports (figure 2) étant reliée par ses deux extrémités aux deux bornes provenant du cordon d'alimentation. Un bloc moulé, non représenté, par exemple au niveau du manchon 4 D, intègre, entre le cordon d'alimentation et les deux extrémités de la résistance, des moyens de contrôle de passage du courant, notamment sous forme d'interrupteur, éventuellement avec temporisation et/ou thermostat, ainsi qu'un voyant lumineux de visualisation de l'état ouvert ou fermé du circuit.The base 4 rests on feet 4 C, possibly provided with bearings. This base may include, when molded, a 4-D outlet sleeve from the power cord 5. Pins 4 E are aligned in two parallel rows along two sides of the base and serve as support for the wire resistance 5a which runs from one row to another of the pins or lugs supports (figure 2) being connected by its two ends to the two terminals coming from the power cord. A molded block, not shown, for example at the 4 D sleeve, integrates, between the power cord and the two ends of the resistor, means current flow control, in particular in the form of a switch, possibly with timer and / or thermostat, as well as an indicator light display of the open or closed state of the circuit.

    Le couvercle 6 recouvre l'embase en venant s'adapter par ses bords 6A repliés à angle droit vers le bas sur ou à proximité des bords de l'embase. Des encoches ou lumières 6 B sont prévues et découpées sur le rebord 6 A, de façon à constituer des orifices d'échappement de l'air chaud délivré depuis la résistance.The cover 6 covers the base by adapting by its edges 6A folded to right angle down on or near the edges of the base. Notches or lights 6 B are provided and cut on the rim 6 A, so that constitute exhaust orifices for the hot air delivered from the resistance.

    On peut facultativement prévoir, comme sur la figure 4, des orifices 7 vers la partie centrale de façon à équilibrer les courants de convection parcourant le volume desservi et occupé par les linges disposés selon des pans verticalement parallèles. Ces orifices centraux 7 seront avantageusement associés à des agencements évitant à l'eau s'écoulant sur le couvercle de passer par ces orifices pour tomber sur la résistance. Par exemple l'orifice peut être disposé au sommet d'une mini calotte sphérique ou associé à une mini cheminée, elle-même éventuellement recourbée, évitant à l'eau gouttant éventuellement et ruisselant sur le couvercle de rejoindre l'espace situé en dessous du couvercle et où se trouve la résistance.Optionally, as in FIG. 4, orifices 7 can be provided towards the central part so as to balance the convection currents flowing through the volume served and occupied by the linens arranged in vertical sections parallel. These central orifices 7 will advantageously be associated with arrangements preventing water flowing over the cover from passing through these orifices to fall on resistance. For example the opening can be placed at the top of a mini spherical cap or associated with a mini chimney, itself possibly curved, avoiding water possibly dripping and dripping on the cover to join the space below the cover and where the resistance.

    La cavité centrale 8 du couvercle peut recevoir un dépôt d'huile essentielle dont les vapeurs parfumeront le linge, senteur qui subsistera en fin de séchage de ce dernier.The central cavity 8 of the cover can receive a deposit of essential oil of which the vapors will scent the laundry, a scent that will remain at the end of drying of this latest.

    Le couvercle ou capot 6 sera par exemple réalisé en polyamide avec armature en fibre de verre, résistant aux températures élevées.The cover or cover 6 will for example be made of polyamide with a frame of fiberglass, resistant to high temperatures.

    La résistance est avantageusement constituée d'un toron chauffant de 6 fils de diamètre 0,20 mm en cupronickel associé à un premier isolateur en silicone résistant à 2.500 Volts et un second isolateur en silicone d'environ 1mm d'épaisseur. L'ensemble représentant une puissance de 1.000 Watts, sous tension de 220 Volts, le cordon présentant une résistance de 2,55 Ohm/mètre et s'étendant sur environ 20 mètres, soit une résistance totale de 52,9 Ohm ± 10 %.The resistance advantageously consists of a heating strand of 6 wires of 0.20 mm diameter in cupronickel associated with a first silicone insulator 2,500 Volts resistant and a second silicone insulator of about 1mm thick. The assembly representing a power of 1,000 Watts, under voltage of 220 Volts, the cord having a resistance of 2.55 Ohm / meter and extending over approximately 20 meters, i.e. a total resistance of 52.9 Ohm ± 10%.

    L'ensemble aboutit à un appareil fonctionnel et parfaitement adapté aux besoins auxquels il vise a apporter réponse. Le dispositif, mis en place sous un ensemble de linges ou tissus en cours de séchage sur un séchoir du type compacté permet d'obtenir le séchage du linge en quelques heures, ceci en toutes saisons, en permettant ainsi la remise en place du linge séché et le rangement du séchoir, dégageant un espace disponible pour l'habitation.The whole results in a functional device that is perfectly adapted to the needs to which it aims to respond. The device, set up under a set of linen or fabrics being dried on a compacted type dryer allows get the laundry to dry in a few hours, in all seasons, thus allowing the replacement of the dried linen and the storage of the dryer, freeing up space available for habitation.

    L'appareil tout en débitant les calories nécessaires à son objet et sous forme de filets d'air chaud laminaires desservant le volume de séchage, ne comporte aucun risque ni pour les personnes ni pour les objets ou mobilier ; sa température contrôlée et adaptée évite tout risque de brûlure corporelle.The device while delivering the calories necessary for its object and in the form of laminar hot air streams serving the drying volume, does not include no risk either for people or for objects or furniture; its temperature controlled and adapted avoids any risk of bodily burns.

    La disposition des ouvertures permet de desservir le volume supérieur sans perte de calories et en répartissant l'effet de séchage sur l'ensemble des linges desservis. The arrangement of the openings allows the upper volume to be served without loss calories and by spreading the drying effect over all the laundry served.

    Le séchoir pourrait être associé éventuellement à une enveloppe souple amovible renfermant les filets d'air chaud s'élevant à l'intérieur et s'échappant alors par une ouverture supérieure étant chargés d'humidité.The dryer could possibly be associated with a removable flexible envelope enclosing the hot air nets rising inside and then escaping by a upper opening being charged with humidity.

    D'autres réalisations restent possibles en dehors du cadre décrit ci-dessus et représenté aux dessins; notamment on peut prévoir une résistance sous blindage ou des conformations diverses données au boitage formé par la conjonction de l'embase et de son couvercle, ceci sans sortir du cadre des revendications de la présente demande de brevet.Other achievements remain possible outside the framework described above and shown in the drawings; in particular one can provide a resistance under shielding or various conformations given to the limp formed by the conjunction of the base and its cover, without departing from the scope of the claims of the this patent application.
