Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Kondensatsammelbehälter für einen Wäschetrockner der herausnehmbar im Gerätegehäuse angeordnet ist und auf seiner Oberseite eine Öffnung aufweist, über die das Kondensat eingeleitet und beim Entleeren ausgegossen wird, wobei in der Öffnung ein in den Kondensatsammelbehälter hinein ragender rohrförmiger Einsatz als Überschwappsicherung und Ausgießhilfe angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a condensate collection container for a tumble dryer which is removably disposed in the device housing and on its upper side has an opening through which the condensate is introduced and poured out during emptying, wherein arranged in the opening into the condensate tank into a projecting tubular insert as Überschwappsicherung and pouring is.

Ein derartiger Kondensatsammelbehälter ist aus der DE 100 23 230 C1 bekannt. Der Wäschetrockner ist mit einer luftgekühlten Kondensationseinrichtung ausgebildet. Das anfallende Kondensat wird mittels einer Kondensatpumpe in den Kondensatsammelbehälter gepumpt, welcher im Bereich der Bedienblende schubladenartig herausziehbar angeordnet ist. Auf der Oberseite des Kondensatsammelbehälters ist eine Öffnung für den Zulauf des Kondensats angeordnet. Der Kondensatsammelbehälter wird über diese Öffnung auch entleert. In der Öffnung ist ein rohrförmiger Einsatz angeordnet, welcher als Ausgießhilfe und als Überschwappsicherung beim ruckartigen Herausziehen des Kondensatsammelbehälters dient. Der Einsatz ragt bis annähernd zum Behälterboden in den Kondensatsammelbehälter hinein. Durch den rohrförmigen Einsatz wird die beim Herausziehen des Kondensatsammelbehälters entstehende Schwallbewegung des Kondensats gedämpft. Bei dieser Ausführung verbleibt jedoch nach dem Entleeren eine geringe Restmenge Kondensat im Behälter.Such a condensate collection is from the DE 100 23 230 C1 known. The tumble dryer is formed with an air-cooled condenser. The resulting condensate is pumped by means of a condensate pump in the condensate collection tank, which is arranged drawer-like pull-out in the control panel. On the top of the condensate collection container, an opening for the inlet of the condensate is arranged. The condensate collector is also emptied through this opening. In the opening a tubular insert is arranged, which serves as Ausgießhilfe and as Überschwappsicherung during jerky pulling out of the condensate collection container. The insert projects into the condensate collection container almost to the bottom of the container. The tubular insert dampens the swirling movement of the condensate that occurs when the condensate collector is withdrawn. In this embodiment, however, remains after emptying a small residual amount of condensate in the container.

Aus der DE 31 19 354 A1 ist ein Kondensatsammelbehälter bekannt, der mit einer in der Öffnung angeordneten Überschwappsicherung ausgebildet ist, die gleichzeitig als Ausgießhilfe ausgebildet ist. Die Überschwappsicherung bzw. Ausgießhilfe ist als rohrförmiger Einsatz ausgebildet, welcher in der Öffnung eine herausgezogene und eine eingeschobene Rastposition einnehmen kann. In der eingeschobenen Rastposition dient der Einsatz als Überschwappsicherung und in der herausgezogenen Rastposition als Ausgießhilfe. Mit dieser Ausführung soll das vollständige Entleeren des Kondensatsammelbehälters ermöglicht werden. Die Ausgießhilfe muss jedoch mit einem zusätzlichen Arbeitsschritt aus der ersten Rastposition heraus gezogen werden.From the DE 31 19 354 A1 a condensate collection container is known, which is formed with an arranged in the opening Überschwappsicherung, which is also designed as a pouring. The Überschwappsicherung or pouring is designed as a tubular insert, which can take a withdrawn and an inserted detent position in the opening. In the retracted detent position, the insert serves as Überschwappsicherung and in the pulled-out detent position as pouring. With this design, the complete emptying of the condensate collection tank should be possible. However, the pouring aid must be pulled out of the first detent position with an additional work step.

Aus der DE 195 05 607 C1 ist ein Kondensatsammelbehälter bekannt, dessen Öffnung für den Zulauf des Kondensats über einen federbelasteten Verschluss verschließbar ist, der beim Herausziehen des Kondensatsammelbehälters die Öffnung verschließt, damit kein Kondensat heraus schwappt und in das Geräteinnere gelangt. Das Kondensat wird über diese Öffnung entleert. Dazu muss der Verschluss von Hand in der Offenstellung gehalten werden. Bei dieser Ausführung gleitet der Verschluss beim Herausziehen des Kondensatsammelbehälters nicht immer schnell genug in die Schließstellung, so dass das Kondensat durch die Schwallbewegung im Behälter in das Geräteinnere gelangen kann.From the DE 195 05 607 C1 a condensate collection is known, the opening for the inlet of the condensate is closed by a spring-loaded closure that closes the opening when pulling out the condensate collection container, so that no condensate spills out and enters the inside of the device. The condensate is emptied through this opening. For this, the closure must be held by hand in the open position. In this embodiment, the closure does not slide when pulling out the condensate collection tank always fast enough into the closed position, so that the condensate can reach the inside of the device due to the surge in the container.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, die Öffnung für den Zulauf und das Entleeren des Kondensats derart zu gestalten, dass beim Herausziehen des Kondensatsammelbehälters kein Kondensat aufgrund der Schwallbewegung im Behälter in das Geräteinnere gelangen kann und eine vollständige Entleerung des Kondensatsammelbehälters ohne zusätzliche Arbeitschritte wie z.B. das Festhalten eines Verschlusses in der Offenstellung oder das Herausziehen einer Ausgießhilfe möglich ist.The invention thus has the problem to make the opening for the inlet and the emptying of the condensate such that when pulling out of the condensate collection no condensate can pass into the interior of the device due to the surge in the container and a complete emptying of the condensate collection without additional steps such. the retention of a closure in the open position or the withdrawal of a pouring aid is possible.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch einen Kondensatsammelbehälter mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention, this problem is solved by a condensate collection container having the features of patent claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, dass mit dem Einsatz ein zielgenaues Ausgießen des Kondensats möglich ist, da die kaskadenartig angeordneten und in Richtung der Ausgießkante stufenförmig ansteigenden Prallwandabschnitte die Schwallbewegung des Kondensats innerhalb des Einsatzes dämpfen und die Oberfläche in der Art eines Schwappkorbes in mehrere Bereiche aufteilen. Die bis annähernd zum Behälterboden geführten Prallwände des Einsatzes dämpfen die Schwallbewegung des Kondensats innerhalb des Kondensatsammelbehälters. Ein vollständiges Entleeren des Kondensatsammelbehälters ist durch die Anordnung des Ausgießbereichs in einer hinteren Ecke des Kondensatsammelbehälters gewährleistet.The achievable with the present invention consist in particular in that with the use of an accurate pouring of the condensate is possible because the cascaded arranged and gradually increasing in the direction of the pouring edge baffle sections dampen the surge of the condensate within the insert and the surface in the manner of a slosh basket divide into several areas. The baffles of the insert, which are guided almost to the container bottom, dampen the swirling movement of the condensate within the condensate collecting container. A complete emptying of the condensate collection container is ensured by the arrangement of the pouring in a rear corner of the condensate collection tank.

Der Kondensatsammelbehälter 1 wird über diese Öffnung 6 auch entleert. In der Öffnung 6 ist ein rohrförmiger Einsatz 7 angeordnet, welcher als Ausgießhilfe und als Überschwappsicherung beim ruckartigen Herausziehen des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 aus der Führung 3 des Gerätegehäuses 4 dient.FIG. 2 shows the condensate collector 1 in plan view. On the top of the condensate collection container 1, an opening 6 for the inlet of the condensate is arranged. The condensate collector 1 is also emptied through this opening 6. In the opening 6, a tubular insert 7 is arranged, which serves as Ausgießhilfe and as Überschwappsicherung during the jerky withdrawal of the condensate collection container 1 from the guide 3 of the device housing 4.

Figur 3 zeigt den Ausgießbereich 8 des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 in perspektivischer Darstellung. Der Ausgießbereich 8 ist in einem Eckbereich des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 angeordnet. Der Ausgießbereich 8 umfasst die auf dem Niveau der Oberseite des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 angeordnete kreisförmige Öffnung 6, in die der Einsatz 7 eingesetzt ist. Der Einsatz 7 liegt mit seinem Auflagerand 9 auf dem oberen Rand der Öffnung 6 auf. Der Rand der Öffnung 6 ist annähernd umlaufend von einer tiefer liegenden Überlaufrinne 1 umgeben. Der Einsatz 7 weist einen die Öffnung 6 teilweise abdeckenden Kreissektor 11 auf. Die Seitenränder 12 des Kreissektors 1 werden auf der Unterseite, ausgehend vom Auflagerand 9 bis zum Kreismittelpunkt 13, auf der Länge des rohrförmigen Einsatzes 7 als Prallwände 14 bis annähernd zum Boden des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 geführt. In dem von dem Kreissektor 11 überdeckten Bereich ist eine Entlüftung für den Kondensatsammelbehälter 1 bei vollständig gefülltem Behälter sowie ein Überlauf integriert. Die Entlüftung sowie der Überlauf sind in Figur 6 in Blickrichtung E dargestellt. Der Winkel des Kreissektors 11 beträgt vorzugsweise 90°. Über die Überlaufrinne 10 wird das bei Überfüllung aus der Entlüftung austretende Kondensat in die Führung 3 des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 geleitet und gelangt über einen nicht näher dargestellten Rücklauf zurück zur Kondensationseinrichtung.FIG. 3 shows the pouring region 8 of the condensate collecting container 1 in a perspective view. The pouring region 8 is arranged in a corner region of the condensate collecting container 1. The pouring region 8 comprises the circular opening 6 arranged at the level of the upper side of the condensate collecting container 1 into which the insert 7 is inserted. The insert 7 rests with its support edge 9 on the upper edge of the opening 6. The edge of the opening 6 is surrounded approximately circumferentially by a deeper overflow trough 1. The insert 7 has a circular sector 11 partially covering the opening 6. The side edges 12 of the circular sector 1 are guided on the underside, starting from the support edge 9 to the circle center 13, on the length of the tubular insert 7 as baffles 14 to approximately the bottom of the condensate collection container 1. In the region covered by the circular sector 11, a vent for the condensate collecting tank 1 is integrated with a completely filled container and an overflow. The vent and the overflow are shown in Figure 6 in the direction E. The angle of the circular sector 11 is preferably 90 °. About the overflow channel 10 exiting the overflow from the vent condensate is directed into the guide 3 of the condensate collection tank 1 and passes through a return not shown back to the condensation device.

Figur 4 zeigt einen Teilschnitt des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 gemäß Schnittlinie A - A (siehe Fig. 3) mit dem Einsatz 7. Der rohrförmige Einsatz 7 ist bis annähernd zur Grundfläche des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 hineinragend ausgebildet.Figure 4 shows a partial section of the condensate collection container 1 according to section line A - A (see Fig. 3) with the insert 7. The tubular insert 7 is formed to approximately the base of the condensate collection container 1 protruding.

Die Prallwände 14 bilden mit dem übrigen Rohrwandabschnitt 15 die Überschwappsicherung 14, 15, die beim ruckartigen Herausziehen des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 aus der Führung 3 die Schwallbewegung des Kondensats im Behälter 1 dämpft. Die im Inneren der Überschwappsicherung 14, 15 aufsteigende Kondensatmenge wird in der Bewegung durch mehrere kreisringförmig angeordnete und stufenförmig ausgebildete Prallwandabschnitte 16 gedämpft, so dass ein Überschwappen aus dem Einsatz 7 heraus ebenfalls verhindert wird. Die Prallwandabschnitte 16 sind kaskadenartig angeordnet und teilen dadurch die Oberfläche des Kondensats in mehrere Bereiche auf. Jeder Prallwandabschnitt 16 weist eine Wasser-Abrisskante 17 auf, wodurch in Zusammenwirkung mit der äußeren Abrisskante 18 des Auflagerandes 9 ein gezieltes Ausgießen des Kondensats möglich ist. Die Prallwandabschnitte 16 sind in Richtung der Ausgießkante 18 stufenartig ansteigend ausgebildet.The baffles 14 form with the rest of the pipe wall portion 15, the Überschwappsicherung 14, 15, the dampening movement of the condensate in the container 1 attenuates the jerky withdrawal of the condensate collection container 1 from the guide 3. The ascending in the Überschwappsicherung 14, 15 amount of condensate is damped in the movement by a plurality of annularly arranged and stepped baffle sections 16, so that a spill from the insert 7 out is also prevented. The baffle sections 16 are cascaded and thereby divide the surface of the condensate into multiple areas. Each baffle section 16 has a water breakaway edge 17, which in conjunction with the outer spoiler edge 18 of the support rim 9 a targeted pouring of the condensate is possible. The baffle sections 16 are formed in the direction of the pouring edge 18 increasing in steps.

In der Figur 5 ist der Einsatz als Einzelheit im Schnitt gemäß Schnittlinie A ― A dargestellt. Die Kontur 19 des unteren Randes des Einsatzes 7 ist der Behälterwand des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 angepasst, deren Ausbildung durch die Anpassung des Behälters 1 an das Raumangebot im Gerät entstanden ist. Durch diese Anpassung ist eine Lagesicherung für den Einsatz 7 realisiert, da der Einsatz 7 nur in optimaler Ausgießposition in die Öffnung 6 des Kondensatsammelbehälters 1 eingesetzt werden kann. Der Einsatz 7 weist unterhalb des Auflagerandes 9 eine Rastnut 20 auf, in die der Rand der Öffnung 6 einrastet und den Einsatz 7 fixiert.In the figure 5 the insert is shown as a detail in section along section line A -. The contour 19 of the lower edge of the insert 7 is adapted to the container wall of the condensate collection container 1, the formation of which is caused by the adaptation of the container 1 to the space in the device. As a result of this adaptation, a position assurance for the insert 7 is realized, since the insert 7 can be inserted into the opening 6 of the condensate collecting container 1 only in an optimal pouring position. The insert 7 has below the support edge 9 a locking groove 20 into which the edge of the opening 6 engages and fixes the insert 7.

In der Figur 6 ist die Entlüftung mit dem Überlauf in Blickrichtung E (siehe Figur 3) dargestellt. Die Überlaufrinne 10 wird im Bereich des Kreissektors 11 durch einen Steg 21 in zwei Ablaufbereiche 10' und 10 " unterteilt. Der rohrförmige Einsatz 7 weist jeweils rechts- und linksseitig des Steges 21 im oberen Randbereich eine Aussparung 22 auf, über die der Kondensatsammelbehälter entlüftet wird bzw. die den Überlauf bildet.In the figure 6, the vent with the overflow in the direction of E (see Figure 3) is shown. The overflow channel 10 is subdivided into two drainage regions 10 'and 10 "in the region of the circular sector 11 by a web 21. The tubular insert 7 has a recess 22 on the right and left sides of the web 21 in the upper edge region, via which the condensate collecting container is vented or which forms the overflow.
