Definitions

  • the invention relates to a household appliance, in particular a dryer for drying textiles.
  • Dryers dry the wet or wet fabrics introduced into a drying room, such as a drum, by supplying warm air into the drying room.
  • the warm air absorbs the moisture from the textiles.
  • the thus saturated with moisture exhaust air is supplied depending on the structure of the dryer a heat exchanger or discharged to the environment.
  • the warm, humid air is cooled and releases the moisture in the form of water into a collection basin.
  • the now dry, cool air is heated, thus ensuring a better moisture absorption in the drying room.
  • This dry, warm air is in turn fed to the drying room.
  • an air filter element also known as a lint filter
  • a lint filter is typically arranged between the drying space and the heat exchanger for separating particles from the air stream in general and from textile fluff in particular.
  • the dry, warm air absorbs not only as desired the moisture of the textiles to be dried but also textile particles such as lint or other deposits of dry matter due to the mechanical stress of the textiles by the air flow, the drum rotation, etc ..
  • Filter element can structures of the subsequent heat exchanger be soiled by such particles.
  • a filter element can also be used with the intention of reducing the pollution of the environment with particles.
  • filter elements To ensure that the function of such filter elements is not impaired, they must be cleaned regularly. Furthermore, such a filter element should be able to be replaced when worn or broken. In this respect, conventional filter elements are typically arranged easily accessible in the tumble dryer and manually cleaned or replaceable.
  • the device which is usually used for cleaning the filter element, is a so-called scraper for stripping the filter element more or less firmly adhering particles, especially of textile fluff.
  • a band-shaped filter element is clamped with its not necessarily containing filter material ends via pulleys on two rollers, of which at least one is operated by an electric motor.
  • a cleaning device is arranged between the filter surface and the second roller.
  • the filter material is rewound from the first roller to the second roller until the lint-covered part of the filter device has passed completely past the cleaning device and thereby cleaned.
  • Such a filter device is known from the German Utility Model G 94 13 742.0 U1 and is described as being used in a tunnel finisher for smoothing garments.
  • the filter device described requires a large space in the drying device. Especially However, with compact household dryers in their dimensions, the installation space is limited.
  • a sieve with a circular arc-shaped cross-section is provided for air flow cleaning. Furthermore, a squeegee is provided which can be operated by a motor and removes the collected lint from the screen.
  • a tubular filter for a tumble dryer which is rotatably mounted in a housing.
  • the exhaust air to be cleaned is fed to an outside of the filter.
  • Abkratzetti are provided which scrape off adhering lint with rotating filter on the outside.
  • the exhaust air of a clothes dryer is fed to a vortex chamber, are collected in the lint contained in the air flow in an end region.
  • the purified air enters through slots in a tube and is transported away.
  • a spiral fixed to the tube helps to create air vortices in the vortex chamber.
  • the filter device has a tubular filter element.
  • a filter element that follows the shape of a tubular body, in its dimensions can already be designed to be considerably more compact than, for example, a band-shaped expanded filter element with the same effective filter area. Further preferred embodiments show that even a drive for automatically inducing a particular rotational relative movement between the filter element and cleaning device for cleaning the filter element in its design takes up little space. Due to this low structural dimensions, such a filter device is particularly suitable for installation in household appliances. However, the low structural dimensions are not at the expense of the effective filter area than at best the entire tubular filter element filter material may have.
  • a two-stage filter devices which provides a further filter element for cleaning the exhaust air of the first filter element.
  • tubular includes a hollow body having a longitudinal extent and a cross section.
  • the cross-section may have any shape, for example circular, elliptical or polygonal.
  • the cross-section does not have to be consistent over the longitudinal extent but can optionally also be made variable. Longitudinal extent and cross-sectional sizes such as diameter or edge length can be a priori in any relation to each other.
  • tubular includes hollow bodies produced by rotation of a curve about a longitudinal axis such as e.g. a cylinder jacket, a truncated cone jacket, or the like.
  • a tubular body as defined does not necessarily include end closure elements for the tubular body.
  • filter element refers to that element which contains the filter material for filtering the supplied air. At best, the entire “filter element” is made of filter material. But it can also be provided holding structures for the filter material be. For example, a cylinder jacket-shaped filter element can consist entirely of filter material. But also included is an embodiment in which, for example, a jacket half made of a plastic holding device, and the other jacket half made of the actual filter material.
  • the linguistic combination of "tubular” and “filter element” thus contains all possible embodiments in which at least part of the tubular body is formed from filter material
  • filter surface or "effective filter surface” is that surface of the filter element that is filled with filter material.
  • FIG. 1 shows a conventional clothes dryer on the principle of condensation in section, the arrows indicate the air flow of the closed air circuit in the operation of the clothes dryer.
  • a drying space 1 in the form of a drum is typically equipped with dry material and is supplied with warm, dry air through rear feeds.
  • the air absorbs the moisture from the dry material in the drying room 1.
  • the moist, warm air is removed via the door 2 of the tumble dryer and freed in a designed as a lint filter device 3 of particles, especially lint.
  • the thus purified air is fed to a heat exchanger 4, in which it is first cooled in a cooling device 41 for moisture delivery, and then heated by means of a heater 42 again.
  • the cycle is closed by the thus heated, dry air is fed via a blower 5 back to the drying room 1.
  • FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of a component of a filter device 3.
  • a filter element 31 of the filter device 3 is formed in a cylinder jacket and can at its one end face via fastening means, in present structure, for example, with a pipe clamp 61, are connected to a not shown pipe for air supply. At its other end, the filter element 31 can be closed with a bottom not shown.
  • a filter material for example, serve a wire or plastic mesh whose mesh size is adapted to the size of the particles to be deposited.
  • Other air filter materials such as air filters made of porous filter material can also be used.
  • a scraper 32 is arranged as a cleaning device.
  • the scraper 32 is used for stripping particles from the filter element 31, in particular lint.
  • the wiper 32 is usually in contact with the filter element 31 and is moved over the effective filter surface. Stripping of filter element surfaces, which are not effective filter surfaces, also makes sense, as particles adhering there can also be collected in a lint depot to be described later.
  • the wiper 32 has an axis 321, on which a plurality of Abstreifhalter 323 are arranged. On the stripping holders 323 in turn scraper lips 322 are arranged, which strip the filter element 31 from the inside during a cleaning operation. Wiper lips 322 may for example be made of rubber or formed as bristle elements.
  • the scraper 32 is rotatably mounted about its axis 321, which is rotatably mounted, for example in a floor and at the air inlet.
  • the cleaning device may alternatively or in addition to a scraper air cleaner, water purifier, or have other cleaning agents.
  • the scraper holder 323 can hold a nozzle-provided hose whose nozzles are pressed onto the inner surface of the filter element 31 are directed and which hose is applied for cleaning with compressed air.
  • the filter element 31 can be freed from particles equally.
  • such a hose is then arranged at least slightly spaced from the inside of the filter element 31.
  • the hose instead of compressed air and a cleaning liquid, such as water, are supplied under pressure.
  • the aforementioned floor can also be attached to the filter element 31 in a releasable and reclosable manner, for example screwed, clamped or latched.
  • a solubility of the soil is advantageous for the discharge of deposited particles from the interior of the filter element 31, or else for replacement or repair of the cleaning device arranged inside the filter element 31.
  • the floor is preferably made of an air-impermeable material. This has the consequence that the supplied via the pipe. Air exits radially from the filter element 31 through the filter surface and is filtered. Such a filter construction thus causes, in addition to the filter function, a deflection of the air flow.
  • FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment of a filter device with a tubular filter element 31 and with a scraper 32 as a cleaning device in longitudinal section.
  • the filter element 31 is made entirely of filter material and takes the form of a cylinder jacket.
  • a scraper 32 is arranged, again with an axis 321 corresponding to the longitudinal axis of the entire filtering device 3, a scraper holder 323 and a scraper lip 322 connected to the scraper holder 323.
  • the spiral stripping holder 323 is connected to the axle 321 via webs 327.
  • the scraper 32 has a space spiral shape.
  • a three-dimensional spiral shape that follows, for example, the mantle of a truncated cone, or as in the present figure in particular helical shape.
  • Near its bottom end of the scraper 32 may have a non-marked collector in the form of, for example, a semicircle, which protects the deposited particles as possible from falling back into the front interior of the filter element 31 and instead in a chamber-like area at the bottom end of the filter element 31, the so-called Flusendepot 33, collects.
  • a space spiral scraper 32 can also take over the transport function for the deposited particles and concentrate the collection of these particles at a designated location depending on the constructive training.
  • FIG. 3 a housing 7 of the filter device 3 can be seen.
  • the housing 7 is connected to the front side with a removable bottom 35.
  • the bottom 35 is removed.
  • the axis 321 of the scraper is mounted in the present example in a guide 351 of a further filter element 37 described below.
  • the end faces of the filter elements 31 and 37 may have openings, so that the particles can be shaken out of the river depot 33 with the bottom 35 removed.
  • the design after FIG. 3 has next to the filter element 31 on another filter element 37.
  • This further filter element 37 is also tubular, in particular cylinder jacket-shaped, and thereby encloses the filter element 31.
  • the filter device 3 is formed in two stages, that is, the supplied air is filtered twice.
  • the further filter element 37 may have the same filter effect as the filter element 31, but may preferably have a higher filtering effect and, for example, be finer mesh than the filter element 31, so that the filter element 31 the Air initially freed of large particles, while the other filter element 37 separates smaller particles from the thus filtered air.
  • the further filter element 37 is made entirely of filter material, so that the filtered air exits radially from the further filter element 37.
  • a further scraper 38 is provided, which is also formed spiraling in space and between the filter element 31 and the further filter element 37 is arranged.
  • the further scraper 38 is fixedly connected to the filter element 31.
  • the drive can be substantially simplified: If in the above arrangement only the filter element 31 undergoes a rotational movement and are scrapers 32 and further filter element 37 stationary, it can be cleaned with only one drive element, a two-stage filter device.
  • drive forms are conceivable in which the two filter elements 31 and 37 are stationary, whereas both wipers 32 and 38 are rotatably mounted.
  • the filter elements 31 and 37 can be rotatably mounted, whereas the scrapers 32 and 38 are formed stationary.
  • both wipers 32 and 38 transport particles in the direction of the bottom flotation depot 33, since a transport in the direction of the air inlet side against the air flow would have to take place and there would be the danger of contamination on the drive-related components arranged on the input side.
  • the two filter elements 31 and 38 are at least partially surrounded by the housing 7.
  • a drive 34 is fixed, in particular an electric motor.
  • the driving force The electric motor is transmitted via unspecified transmission elements 39, such as gears, racks or the like, on the driven element.
  • helical scraper 32 and cylindrical filter element 31 provides a filtering device which favors small volume drive mechanisms, such as driving via a worm gear, since the elements to be moved relative to one another typically undergo rotary motion during operation.
  • FIG. 3 Arrows indicate the air flow through the filter device.
  • the air to be filtered flows through the frontal air inlet into the filter device. Due to the air-impermeable or only slightly air-permeable bottom 35 on the opposite end side of the air flow passes through the two filter elements 31 and 37 radially, see exit arrow direction.
  • the further course of the air flow is determined by the geometry of the housing 7, which is preferably open in the direction of the subsequent cooling device, so that the filtered air is supplied to the cooling device.
