Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a method and a condenser-type tumble-apparatus for drying clothes, in particular for home use.
  • a clothes drying machine of the traditional type comprises, inside a substantially parallelepiped outer casing, a drum adapted to be kept rotating by an electric motor at a speed of approx. 50 rpm, as well as, further to a blower, a closed-loop circuit for the circulation of the drying air, in which there are arranged both heating means and means for the condensation of the moisture being removed in the form of steam from the clothes that are kept tumbling in the rotating drum.
  • the cooling air for the condenser is taken in from the surrounding ambient by means of a second blower and is then exhausted downstream of the condenser.
  • a first serious drawback of traditional clothes drying machines lies in the practical impossibility for them to ensure drying of woollen clothes without damaging them to some extent.
  • a second drawback lies in the fact that the sole variable in the drying cycles offered by such machines is the duration of the process, although it may be associated to the desired degree of dryness to be obtained. The result is that the performance capabilities of currently existing machines are not satisfactory for all users under all circumstances.
  • US Patent No. 5,704,136 discloses a method of controlling the drying operation of a washing machine that comprises substantially three drying steps. During these steps, i.e. during the drying cycle, the revolution speed of the motor is gradually increased without stops.
  • Japanese Patent Application No. JP 07 289793 discloses a dryer in which a microcomputer controls the electrification of heaters and decreases impulsively the rotation speed of a turning drum when the drying target ratio reaches pre-set values.
  • a further purpose of the present invention is to provide an associated apparatus for drying clothes, which is capable of offering users performance records that were simply unthinkable of up to now.
  • a clothes drying machine comprises a substantially parallelepiped outer casing 1, part of which are among other things a control panel with the various control, setting and indicating members 2 of the machine, a front loading door 3 and a front socle carrying a pair of apertures 4 and 5 in a side-by-side arrangement.
  • the metal rotating drum 10, which is housed in said outer casing 1, comprises in turn:
  • the drum 10 is driven so as to rotate about a sensibly horizontal axis by a first electric motor 21 which is supported by the base of the outer casing 1 and on to the shaft of which there is shrink-fitted, further to the pulley for the belt 15, the fan wheel of a first blower 22.
  • the speed of rotation of the drum 10 and the blower 22 is variable in a stepless, ie. continuous manner, eg. From approx. 75 to approx. 50 rpm, and this, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, is obtained through the use of a brushless synchronous motor as the first electric motor 21.
  • the intake side of said first blower 22 is situated at the end of said first shaped conduit 9, and therefore downstream of the steam condenser 20, while the delivery side of the same blower 22 is situated at the inlet of a second shaped conduit 23 that extends upwards in the rear zone of the outer casing and is connected, through appropriate sealing means (not shown), to the perforations 13 of the rear flange 12 of the rotating drum 10.
  • a per se well-known electric heating unit 24 Inside said second shaped conduit 23 there is housed a per se well-known electric heating unit 24.
  • the conduit 9 with the lint filter 8 and the steam condenser 20, the interior of the rotating drum 10, and the conduit 23 with the heating unit 24 constitute the closed-loop circuit of the drying air which, as compared with traditional clothes drying machines, offers the feature according to which the forced air flow inside the drum 10 is diverted towards the skirt 11, through the afore mentioned annular gap existing between the latter and the periphery of the disk 16, as this is indicated by the arrows in Figure 1.
  • the base of the outer casing supports also a second electric motor 25, which is preferably also of the brushless synchronous type, and which, for the reasons that will be explained further on, is supplied via a thermistor-type element (not shown).
  • the motor 25 drives a second blower 26 having its intake side connected with the aperture 4 in the socle of the outer casing and its delivery side connected with the steam condenser 20, obviously in a direction which is perpendicular to that of the conduit 9.
  • the condenser 20 On the opposite side with respect to the one that is connected with the intake side of the second blower 26, the condenser 20 is connected to the aperture 5 in the socle of the outer casing. Owing to this construction as described just above, the cooling air is therefore taken in from the ambient in which the clothes drying machine is installed through the aperture 4 by means of the blower 26 and, upon causing the steam carried by the hot drying air to condense in the condenser 20, it is exhausted back into the same ambient through the aperture 5.
  • the clothes drying method according to the present invention is based on two peculiarities, the first one of which lies in the already mentioned variability of the rotating speed of both the drum 10 and the drying air blower 23 thanks to the first electric motor 21, while the second one lies in the fact that the processor means of the apparatus are adapted to automatically select the drying parameters that are most appropriate to each type of fabrics and amount of clothes being handled.
  • all what a user is required to do is in fact to solely select, through the control means 2 located on the control panel 1, the type of fabrics of which the clothes to be dried are made (eg. wool, synthetic fibres, cotton, etc.), the weight and/or the desired degree of dryness of the clothes (eg. bone dry for storage in a wardrobe, moist for further ironing, and the like) and the desired time for the drying cycle to come to an end.
  • the values of the various parameters of the drying process such as the rotating speed of the drum 10 and the first blower 22, the power input rate of the heating unit 25 and/or the temperature of the air when entering the drum 10, the starting time and the duration of the drying cycle are set and controlled by said processor means with the associated sensors.
  • Figure 2 illustrates the basic feature of the present invention, which lies in the progressively decreasing pattern followed by the rotating speed (n) of the motor 21 speed versus time (t), or again the pattern followed by the rotating speed of the drum 10 and the flow rate of the drying air delivered by the first blower 22, during a drying cycle.
  • the speed (n) is higher in the case of woollen clothes (curve I), lower in the case of cotton clothes (curve II) and the lowest in the case of synthetic-fibre clothes (curve III). Therefore, according to a further feature of the present invention.
  • Figure 3 in turn illustrates, by way of exemplification, the pattern followed by the temperature (°C) of the drying air (curve A), the amount (kg) of water removed from the clothes (curve B) and, again, the rotating speed (n) of the drum 10 and the first blower 22 (curve C) versus time (t), ie. during a drying cycle, in the case of cotton clothes.
  • the rotating speed (n) is proportional to the amount (kg) of water removed, ie. inversely proportional to the desired degree of dryness to be reached.
