Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for cleaning a section of a guide Process airflow in a household clothes dryer with a blower to generate the process air flow in a drying room in contact with that to be dried Laundry can be brought to absorb moisture, as well as a tumble dryer to carry out this procedure.
  • tumble dryer should refer to all household laundry treatment machines comprise, which are set up for drying laundry, both Exhaust air dryers in which the process air is passed outside after contact with the laundry is included, as well as circulating air dryer, in which the process air is circulated becomes.
  • the process air flow should in the following in particular all air channels and Include components through which the process air flows.
  • Household tumble dryers of the type mentioned above generally set disadvantageously in operation in the process air duct laundry fluff or in general Impurities. It is particularly disadvantageous if the laundry fluff heat exchangers in a condenser for condensing in the moisture contained in the process air, as is particularly the case in forced air dryers is used. In this case, the laundry fluff hampers the heat transfer to the Process air and thus reduce the effectiveness of the condensation process. Although usually a lint filter is provided, can still small particles in operation or fluff can get to the heat exchange devices and settle there. In In practice, therefore, the heat exchange devices must be installed at regular intervals removed and cleaned by the operator.
  • a clothes dryer in which the heat exchange devices are arranged within a collecting container for the condensate, wherein the heat exchange devices are at least partially arranged in a liquid can and / or by means of a circulation system at least temporarily with a Liquid can be moistened.
  • the task is to use the effectiveness of the condenser during the drying process a simple and inexpensive solution.
  • the condensation effect during the drying process is said to be the movement of the liquid In the circulation system, fluff is attached to the heat exchange devices prevent.
  • the lint should be in the tumble dryer according to DE 43 33 901 C1 are carried away or pumped away with the liquid for cooling the condenser can.
  • the present invention has for its object a method for cleaning a Section of a process air duct of a household clothes dryer and a Implementation of such a method established household clothes dryer of the above to create the type mentioned, in which in particular process air guide sections preferentially fluff, such as heat exchange devices in a condenser, in particular, can be cleaned automatically by an operator actions to be taken when operating the household clothes dryer can.
  • this object is achieved by a method in which outside a Drying phase, in which the process air flow is generated by the blower and in the Drying room is brought into contact with the laundry to be dried, in a cleaning phase at least a section of the process air duct when the fan is switched off is partially flooded with a liquid for a certain period of time, which at the end of the Cleaning phase is removed from the flooded section of the process air duct, and solved by a household clothes dryer, the facilities for introducing and for draining a liquid into or from a section of the process air duct and has a controller that is arranged such that outside a drying phase in which the process air flow is generated by means of the fan and in the drying room can be brought into contact with the laundry to be dried, in a section of the process air duct during a cleaning phase with the fan switched off be at least partially flooded with a liquid for a certain period of time can, which at the end of the cleaning phase from the flooded section of the process air duct can be removed.
  • a section of the process air duct can be flooded in which contaminants or lint preferentially settle.
  • This can in particular be the area in which a heat exchanger for condensing moisture contained in the process air is contained.
  • heat exchangers are usually used or capacitors in the process air flow behind the drying room arranged. Due to the condensation of moisture, heat exchangers are in operation almost constantly moist, which means that lint preferentially settles on them.
  • impurities or fluffing have an effect on the heat exchanger particularly disadvantageous because the heat transfer and thus the condensation process is deteriorating.
  • an area can be flooded in which a Lint filter is arranged to clean it automatically.
  • condensate is formed during the cleaning phase for flooding a heat exchanger located behind the drying room in the process air flow direction used to condense moisture contained in the process air.
  • the tumble dryer has a condenser, a condensate container Collect condensate and facilities with which condensate can be directed from the condensate tank into the section to be flooded. Because for example in the case of circulating air dryers, a condenser and a condensate collection container in almost all cases are provided anyway, is only a very small one in these cases additional effort required.
  • At least one of the process air ducts in the cleaning phase Section divided by the process air flow at least at one point closed at least substantially liquid-tight over part of their cross-section is flooded, and the subsection individually. This can be flooded separately for everyone A liquid supply section can be provided. To remove the liquid Depending on the course of the process air flow, a sequence can also suffice if the Opening each section the liquid flows to the drain. For example, immediately in addition to such a section, a lower-lying section of the process air duct from which the liquid can be pumped out and into which the liquid can be drained by opening the flooded section.
  • a section of the air duct on at least one side can be prevented on the one hand that the liquid introduced during flooding into a permissible area penetrates, and on the other hand can reduce the liquid volume, that is needed in a flooding process. If the section is only closed on one side, can spread the liquid at the other, unsealed end of the section to be flooded through the course of the process air flow and the initiated Amount of liquid can be controlled by the process air flow at this Place is led upwards and just enough liquid is introduced that in the Section sets the required level. That needed to flood a section However, the volume of liquid can be reduced in particular if the subsection is closed on both sides.
  • a closing device can be provided. For example, with a Process air flow, which runs in an at least inclined curve, at a deep Such a closing device should be provided. The closing device is used for cleaning closed and first on one side of the closing device section and then the section on the other side flooded.
  • the at least one closing device can advantageously be the one to be flooded Sections are closed at least up to the height up to which the one to be removed Flossing or contamination occurs.
  • this can be the height be up to which heat exchange devices are arranged to at least completely to be able to flood with the liquid.
  • Leakage in a closed closing device can be tolerated as long as more liquid can be introduced into the section than through the leakage escapes and thus an increase in the liquid level can be achieved.
  • an inventive device Household clothes dryer a heater for heating the process air and one Have control, which is set up so that it the temperature of the process air detect and depending on the detected temperature using the at least one Closing device the flow resistance of the process air duct for the process air flow can change.
  • the temperature can be maintained even when the heater output is constant of the gas flow are influenced and also regulated within certain limits. So can for example at the beginning of the drying process when the temperature is still far is below the set temperature, the gas flow by increasing the flow resistance of the heat exchanger are throttled very much, so that the heat exchanger flowing and cooled there gas flow is low and the temperature of the Gas flow increases faster.
  • the gas deflection parts can be aligned so that the flow losses are as low as possible, where they can be pivoted again when the gas flow temperature drops, to throttle the gas flow and raise the temperature.
  • the heater the household clothes dryer can also be designed so that with continuous maximum heating power the gas flow its target temperature with a slight throttling reached by the gas deflection parts. This way both can be exceeded as well as falling below the target temperature of the gas flow by adjustment the gas deflection parts are counteracted.
  • the at least one closing device can be pivoted together, like a blind have arranged flaps. In this way, the at least one closing device be designed to be short and space-saving. Furthermore, these can Flaps have elastic seals at their free ends.
  • the flaps can each on one of these heat exchange plates be pivotally attached. In this way, the area in which the heat exchange plates are divided, with a very small distance, so that the required Liquid amount is reduced. This can be achieved especially if Closure flaps are provided at both ends of the heat exchange plates. It can a closure flap is provided on each heat exchange plate or only on some of them become.
  • flaps can be set up so that with their free end in Be brought into contact with another heat exchange plate or a stop can.
  • the flap can be opened
  • the top heat exchange plate is provided with a stop to the space to seal over the top heat exchange plate.
  • a further flap can be provided under the plate stack, for example on a Articulated bar is articulated and its free end in the swung-up state the bottom heat exchange plate abuts to the space under the bottom To close the heat exchange plate. If the flaps are given down, is the stop below the bottom and the other flap above the top Heat exchange plate arranged.
  • the process air duct can be closed at least at one point for dividing this section at least partially flooded section are abruptly lifted. This causes the liquid to run quickly and can also adhere to dirt or fluff sweep away so that the cleaning effect can be improved in this way.
  • the liquid acts for a long time so that adhering contaminants or fluff are loosened or at least be softened.
  • the cleaning phase is advantageously initiated shortly after a drying phase. Because the condensate on the heat exchange devices during the drying process Moisture is already softening or loosening the contaminants or lint can cause short and especially immediately after a drying process a particularly high cleaning effect due to the flooding of the heat exchange devices be achieved. At this time is also the condensate collection tank usually filled with condensate to flood the heat exchange devices can be used. In practice, moreover, usually passes after everyone Drying process for a long time until the next drying process, so that enough There is time to remove the liquid used for flooding.
  • the cleaning phase can be controlled automatically by a controller of the household clothes dryer be initiated.
  • Program-controlled controls are particularly suitable for this, which are equipped with a microcontroller.
  • the control can be automatic Perform cleaning even at night when the operator is using the household clothes dryer probably not used anyway.
  • the household clothes dryer display an upcoming cleaning phase and the operator if necessary to point out that it should not empty the condensate collection container, so that there is enough condensate available for cleaning.
  • a measure of the degree of contamination of a section of the process air duct a cleaning phase is automatically detected when a limit value is exceeded be initiated. In this way, the operator must determine the degree of contamination do not monitor the capacitor yourself.
  • the heat transfer for the flossing can also be determined by, for example, the Temperature difference between the incoming and outgoing process air or, if applicable be measured between the incoming and outgoing cooling air.
  • the pressure drop across a section of the process air duct is also measured and as a measure can be used for laying with fluff.
