Definitions
- the invention relates to a domestic appliance, especially to a dryer for textiles or a washing machine.
- EP 1 441 060 , EP 1 600 545 , US2006/016020 , EP1 655 408 , US2005/034489 disclose a domestic appliance having a steam unit for producing water steam which is fed to a treatment area.
- a problem is that the supply of a domestic appliance with the possibility to apply steam to the textiles is often quite complex.
- the system has to be supplied with the different elements so that the production of steam can take place in a controlled manner.
- the steam producing device needs different peripheral elements.
- Another problem is that it is quite costly to maintain or to repair domestic appliances with steam producing systems.
- the disassembly and the assembly of broken components takes a quite long time which leads to comparatively high costs for the assembler.
- a domestic appliance especially a home dryer or a washing machine, which allows an improved assembly of the components which are required for equipping the appliance with the steam producing system.
- the service effort is decreased to save costs in connection with the maintenance of the appliance.
- the costs for logistics are aimed to be reduced.
- a solution is sought which facilitates the supply of the required components for equipping the appliance with the steam system.
- the invention is characterized in that the domestic appliance has a steam unit for producing water steam, especially hot or superheated steam, which is fed to a treatment area, especially to a drum, wherein the steam unit is constructed as a module.
- the invention suggests to design a steam producing system as a module which contains at least the most essential elements for steam production.
- the modular steam unit comprises a steam generator.
- it can comprise a pump.
- a water reservoir, a safety device and/or an electronic controlling device can be arranged in the steam module.
- the modular steam unit comprises an electric wrap connection device.
- This device can be connected with a controlling device of the appliance. With this design it is very easy to mount or to dismount the steam unit in the domestic appliance by using wrap connection means.
- quick release fastener elements For mechanically placement of the steam unit in the domestic appliance it can be mounted in the appliance by means of quick release fastener elements.
- Those quick release fastener elements can comprise snap connection means.
- this connection means can comprise receiving means that fit into holes in the module.
- the module in this case is set on the receiving means via a vertical movement and affixed by an additional horizontal movement, whereby a horizontal groove in the receiving means slides into a corresponding recess in the module.
- the domestic appliance can comprise at least one reception slot and/or receiving means for guiding and receiving the base plate.
- the receiving means are made of temperature resistant materials, especially plastics. The material should be resistant to temperatures at least over 200°C.
- the steam unit can be arranged in a side region within the appliance. Also the location for the steam unit can be in an upper or a lower region within the appliance. Also an arrangement of the steam unit in the basement region / on the basement of the domestic appliance is possible.
- the domestic appliance can be a dryer for textiles, particularly a condensation type dryer.
- the proposed concept is also very useful for washing machines, particularly domestic washing machines.
- the module is preferably arranged between a side panel of the dryer and the drum of the appliance.
- the steam unit is designed as a retrofit kit. So easy retrofitting of existing domestic appliances becomes possible.
- the domestic appliance especially the dryer, has an additional steam functionality, especially a hot steam or superheated steam functionality. Due to the modular design of the steam unit which has to be integrated into the appliance assembly and disassembly becomes very easy and cheap. It can be mounted very quickly by using quick release means for carrying the steam unit. Furthermore, it is easily possible to retrofit the steam unit in an existing appliance.
- FIG 1 a domestic appliance 1 in the form of a home dryer for drying textiles is shown wherein the drying of the textiles occurs in a well known manner.
- the textiles (not depicted) are placed in a drum 3, which is generally a treatment area.
- the drum 3 is closed by a door 20.
- the dryer 1 is designed as a dryer of the condensation type.
- I. e is has a condensate reservoir 16 in which water is collected which is extracted from the wet textiles.
- a steam process is carried out in the dryer 1.
- Steam i. e. hot or superheated steam
- a modular steam unit 2 for the production of the steam is arranged within the dryer 1.
- a water reservoir 6 to supply the steam unit is placed in a side region 13 of the dryer 1, in an upper region 14, close to a side panel 17 of the dryer 1 and between the side panel 17 and the condensate reservoir 16.
- the condensate reservoir 16 is arranged as part of a drawer (not depicted) that could be removed from the dryer 1 to empty it.
- a front panel 21 of this drawer can be seen in FIG 1 . This front panel 21 additionally covers at least a part of the water reservoir 6.
- the steam unit 2 is designed as a compact and modular element. Therefore, the whole steam unit 2 can be assembled or disassembled into or from the dryer 1.
- the steam unit 2 is arranged in the left part, i. e. in the side region 13, of the dryer in a lower region 15, especially between the drum 3 and a side panel 17 of the dryer 1. It is also possible to locate the steam unit 2 in an upper region 14 of the appliance 1.
- the steam unit 2 comprises different components, i. e. a steam generator 4, which is supplied with water from the water reservoir 6 by means of a pump 5, which is also arranged within the steam unit 2.
- Steam generator 4 and pump 5 are fixed on a base plate 11 which is received in receiving means 12 arranged at the dryer 1, which are shown only schematically. It can be seen that this receiving means 12 fit into holes 22 in the base plate 11.
- the base plate 11 is set on the receiving means 12 via a vertical movement and affixed by an additional horizontal movement, whereby a horizontal groove (not depicted) in the receiving means 12 slides into a corresponding recess 23 in the base plate 11.
- the water reservoir 6 can be arranged as additional part of the modular steam unit 2 (not depicted), e.g. by arranging it on the top of the steam generator 4 and/or the pump 5.
- the steam produced by the steam generator 4 is supplied via a steam tube 18 to an outlet nozzle 19 and into the drum 3. Furthermore, it is only depicted schematically that the steam unit 2 has also a safety device 7 and an electronic controlling device 8. Furthermore, an electric wrap connection device 9 is arranged to establish the electrical connection with the controlling device 10 of the dryer 1 (see FIG 1 ). One part 9' of the electric wrap connection device 9 is fixed on the base plate 11 and another part 9" of the electric wrap connection device 9 can be connected with the domestic appliance 1. When inserting the base plate 11 into the domestic device 1 by sliding it in horizontal direction, the electrical connection is achieved automatically, as the two parts 9' and 9" come into contact.
- plug connector and socket as electric wrap connection device.
- the electrical connection between steam unit and controlling device of the dryer can be done by just connecting the connector with the socket.
- the water reservoir 6 allows the storage and the supply of clean and decontaminated water for the steam production. As shown in FIG 1 , it is designed in that way that it becomes very small to use a free space between the condensate reservoir 16 and the side panel 17.
- the different components can be fixed on the base plate 11 using several bolts which are arranged on the base plate, e. g. four bolts, which are connected with the components to arrange them firmly to the base plate 11.
- FIG 3 shows another example of a home dryer 1 according to the invention.
- the side panel is removed, therefore the arrangement of the water reservoir 6 and the steam unit module 2 in the dryer 1 can be seen.
- FIG 4 shows in a magnification of FIG 3 the arrangement of the steam unit 2.
- the steam generator 4, the pump 5, the base plate 11 and the receiving means 12 arranged at the dryer 1 to receive the base plate 11 can be seen.
