Ein derartiger Ablufttrockner sowie Hinweise zu Verfahren für seinen Betrieb sind der Schrift
Die Erfindung bezieht sich insbesondere auf Trockner, welche Hausgeräte, das heißt Geräte zur Führung eines privaten Haushalts, sind. Solche Hausgeräte sind insbesondere bekannt als Wäschetrockner, Waschtrockner und Spülmaschinen.The invention relates in particular to dryers, which are domestic appliances, that is appliances for managing a private household. Such home appliances are known in particular as tumble dryers, washer-dryers and dishwashers.
Im Allgemeinen wird ein Wäschetrockner als Ablufttrockner oder Kondensationstrockner betrieben. Für eine Trocknungsvorgang in einem Ablufttrockner wird Luft (sogenannte "Prozessluft") aus einer Umgebung in den Ablufttrockner gezogen; im Ablufttrockner wird diese Luft erwärmt und zwecks Aufnehmen von Feuchtigkeit an den zu trocknenden Wäschestücken vorbeigeführt und anschließend aus dem Ablufttrockner entlassen. Da diese Abluft stark mit Feuchtigkeit gesättigt ist, darf sie nicht einfach in ein Gebäude, in welchem der Ablufttrockner aufgestellt ist, entlassen werden. Die Abluft muss vielmehr durch ein geeignetes Lüftungssystem aus dem Gebäude abgeführt werden. Im einfachsten Fall dient dazu ein an den Ablufttrockner anzuschließender Abluftschlauch, welcher mit einem stationären Lüftungssystem verbunden oder aus einem Fenster des Gebäudes herausgehängt wird. Ein Kondensationstrockner, dessen Funktionsweise auf der Kondensation der mittels warmer, in einem geschlossenen Prozessluftkreis geführter Prozessluft verdampften Feuchtigkeit aus der Wäsche beruht, benötigt keinen Abluftschlauch. Er ermöglicht auch relativ einfach eine Energierückgewinnung aus der erwärmten Prozessluft, beispielsweise durch Verwendung einer Wärmepumpe. Das im Kondensationstrockner anfallende Kondensat wird gesammelt und entweder abgepumpt oder durch manuelles Entleeren eines Auffangbehälters entsorgt. Bei einem Ablufttrockner wird im Allgemeinen die nach dem Durchgang durch eine Wäschetrommel mit Feuchtigkeit beladene Luft aus dem Trockner geleitet. Eine Wärmerückgewinnung findet hierbei nicht statt.In general, a tumble dryer is operated as an exhaust air dryer or condensation dryer. For a drying process in an exhaust air dryer, air (so-called "process air") is drawn from an environment into the exhaust air dryer; In the exhaust air dryer, this air is heated and passed for the purpose of absorbing moisture to the laundry items to be dried and then discharged from the exhaust air dryer. Since this exhaust air is heavily saturated with moisture, it must not be released into a building where the exhaust air dryer is installed. Instead, the exhaust air must be removed from the building through a suitable ventilation system. In the simplest case serves a to be connected to the exhaust air dryer exhaust hose, which is connected to a stationary ventilation system or suspended from a window of the building. A condensation dryer, the operation of which is based on the condensation of moisture evaporated from the laundry by means of warm process air conducted in a closed process air cycle, does not require an exhaust hose. It also allows relatively easy energy recovery from the heated process air, for example by using a heat pump. The condensate produced in the condensation dryer is collected and either pumped off or disposed of by manually emptying a collection container.

In the sieve housing an opening is provided, which is closable with a movable lid. The lint filter can be moved into this opening and there are devices that generate a cleaning air flow from the back through the lint filter.

Gegenstand der Erfindung ist somit ein Trockner mit einer Trocknungskammer für zu trocknende Gegenstände, einem Zuluftkanal, einem Prozessluftkanal, in dem sich eine Heizung zur Erwärmung von Prozessluft befindet und die erwärmte Prozessluft mittels eines Gebläses über die zu trocknenden Gegenstände geführt werden und über einen Abluftkanal zum Abluftausgang geführt werden kann, wobei vom Prozessluftkanal zwischen der Trocknungskammer und dem Abluftausgang an einer Abzweigung ein Umluftkanal zur Heizung abzweigt und der verbleibende Teil des Prozessluftkanals als Abluftkanal zum Abluftausgang führt, wobei an der Abzweigung ein zweiteiliger Verschlussmechanismus, umfassend ein Flusengitter mit einer ersten Oberfläche und einer zweiten Oberfläche sowie eine Klappe, angeordnet ist, wobei das Flusengitter und die Klappe so gegeneinander gedreht werden können, dass in einer ersten Stellung des Verschlussmechanismus die Klappe den Umluftkanal vom Prozessluftkanal trennt und das Flusengitter den Abluftkanal vom Prozessluftkanal, so dass von der Trocknungskammer kommende Prozessluft ausschließlich durch das Flusengitter hindurch durch den Abluftkanal weiterfließt, und in einer zweiten Stellung des Verschlussmechanismus das Flusengitter den Umluftkanal vom Prozessluftkanal trennt, so dass von der Trocknungskammer kommende Prozessluft sowohl durch das Flusengitter hindurch durch den Umluftkanal als auch durch den Abluftkanal fließen kann.The invention thus relates to a dryer with a drying chamber for objects to be dried, a supply air duct, a process air duct, in which a Heating for heating process air is located and the heated process air by means of a blower over the objects to be dried and can be performed via an exhaust duct to the exhaust air outlet, wherein the process air duct between the drying chamber and the exhaust outlet at a branch a recirculation channel branches off to the heater and the remaining Part of the process air duct as the exhaust duct leads to the exhaust air outlet, wherein at the junction a two-part shutter mechanism, comprising a lint grid with a first surface and a second surface and a flap is disposed, wherein the lint and the flap can be rotated against each other so that in a first position of the shutter mechanism, the flap separates the recirculation air duct from the process air duct and the lattice grate the exhaust duct from the process air duct, so that coming from the drying chamber process air exclusively through the fluff grating through the Ablu flows further, and in a second position of the shutter mechanism, the lattice separates the recirculation duct from the process air duct, so that coming from the drying chamber process air can flow both through the lint grid through the circulating air duct and through the exhaust duct.
Vorzugsweise vereinigt sich der Umluftkanal vor der Heizung mit dem Zuluftkanal. Damit wird ein maximales Luftvolumen für die Einbringung der Wärmeenergie erschlossen, wodurch das Auftreten von unzuträglich hohen Temperaturen bestmöglich ausgeschlossen ist.Preferably, the recirculating air channel unites before the heating with the supply air duct. Thus, a maximum volume of air for the introduction of heat energy is tapped, whereby the occurrence of unacceptably high temperatures is excluded in the best possible way.
Es ist erfindungsgemäß bevorzugt, dass Flusengitter und Klappe abhängig oder unabhängig voneinander verstellt werden können. Die Verstellung des Flusengitters und/oder der Klappe kann beispielsweise mit einem Motor oder unter Verwendung eines Magneten oder Thermo-Aktors vorgenommen werden.It is inventively preferred that the lattice and flap can be adjusted depending on or independently. The adjustment of the fluff grid and / or the flap can be made for example with a motor or using a magnet or thermo-actuator.
Überdies kann die Verstellung des Flusengitters und/oder der Klappe manuell durch einen Benutzer des Trockners oder automatisch durchgeführt werden.Moreover, the adjustment of the lint and / or the flap can be performed manually by a user of the dryer or automatically.
Beispielsweise kann in einem Trockner auf an sich bekannte Weise ein Reinigungsbedarf für ein Flusengitter ermittelt werden und dieser Reinigungsbedarf einem Benutzer des Trockners mittels einer optischen und/oder akustischen Anzeigevorrichtung am Trockner mitgeteilt werden. Der Benutzer kann dann manuell eine Verstellung von Flusengitter und/oder Klappe und somit ggf. eine Reinigung des Flusengitters von anhaftenden Flusen veranlassen.For example, in a dryer known per se, a cleaning requirement for a lattice can be determined and this cleaning need to be communicated to a user of the dryer by means of an optical and / or acoustic display device on the dryer. The user can then manually adjust the lattice grate and / or flap and thus possibly cause a cleaning of the lattice of adhering fluff.
Alternativ kann nach einem ermittelten Reinigungsbedarf für ein Flusengitter automatisch, im Allgemeinen unter Zuhilfenahme einer Programmsteuerung des Trockners, eine Verstellung von Flusengitter und/oder Klappe und somit ggf. eine Reinigung des Flusengitters von anhaftenden Flusen veranlasst werden.Alternatively, after a determined cleaning requirement for a lattice grate, an adjustment of the lattice grid and / or flap and thus, if necessary, a cleaning of the lattice structure of adhering lint can be initiated automatically, generally with the aid of program control of the dryer.
Flusengitter und Klappe bilden vorzugsweise einen Winkel von 90°. Hierbei sind Flusengitter und Klappe in der Regel fest miteinander verbunden. Für den Fall, dass von einem gerade verlaufenden Umluftkanal im rechten Winkel ein Abluftkanal abzweigt, kann auf diese Weise auf einfache Weise eine erste Stellung und eine zweite Stellung des Verschlussmechanismus an der Abzweigung realisiert werden.Fluff grate and flap preferably form an angle of 90 °. In this case, the lattice grid and flap are usually firmly connected. In the event that an exhaust air duct branches off at right angles from a straight recirculating air duct, a first position and a second position of the shutter mechanism can be realized at the branch in a simple manner.
Vorzugsweise sind daher Flusengitter und Klappe um eine gemeinsame Achse drehbar.Preferably, therefore, the lattice grid and flap are rotatable about a common axis.
Es kann allerdings vorteilhaft sein, wenn das Flusengitter abnehmbar und getrennt reinigbar ist. In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung umfasst daher das Flusengitter ein in der Verschlussvorrichtung sitzendes Rahmenteil und einen abnehmbaren FlusenfilterHowever, it can be advantageous if the lattice grille is removable and can be cleaned separately. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, therefore, the lattice grate comprises a frame part which is seated in the closure device and a removable lint filter
Der erfindungsgemäße Trockner umfasst vorzugsweise mindestens einen Wärmetauscher. Auf diese Weise sind Möglichkeiten zur Rückgewinnung von Wärme im erfindungsgemäßen Trockner erschlossen.The dryer according to the invention preferably comprises at least one heat exchanger. In this way, possibilities for the recovery of heat in the dryer according to the invention are developed.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform sind der mindestens eine Wärmetauscher eine Wärmesenke und eine Wärmequelle einer Wärmepumpe. Dabei kann grundsätzlich jede Wärmepumpe verwendet werden. Bei einem mit einer Wärmepumpe ausgestatteten Trockner erfolgt die Kühlung der warmen, mit Feuchtigkeit beladenen Prozessluft im Wesentlichen in der Wärmesenke der Wärmepumpe. Die somit in die Wärmepumpe übertragene Wärme gelangt, in der Regel bei erhöhter Temperatur, zur Wärmequelle der Wärmepumpe, wo Wärme freigesetzt wird, die insbesondere zum Aufheizen der Prozessluft bzw. Zuluft vor Eintritt in die Trocknungskammer verwendet wird. Erfindungsgemäß kann die in der Wärmequelle frei werdende Wärme im Zuluftkanal zur Erwärmung von Zuluft oder nach Vereinigung von Zuluftkanal und Umluftkanal zur Erwärmung der vereinigten Zuluft und Abluft verwendet werden.In a preferred embodiment, the at least one heat exchanger is a heat sink and a heat source of a heat pump. In principle, any heat pump can be used. In a dryer equipped with a heat pump, the cooling of the warm, moisture-laden process air essentially takes place in the heat sink of the heat pump. The heat thus transferred into the heat pump passes, usually at elevated temperature, to the heat source of the heat pump, where heat is released, which is used in particular for heating the process air or supply air before entering the drying chamber. According to the invention, the heat released in the heat source in the supply air duct for heating supply air or after combination of supply air duct and recirculation duct for heating the combined supply air and exhaust air can be used.
Der Umluftkanal ist vorzugsweise so ausgestaltet, dass er eine Abzweigung eines Anteils von 30 Vol.-% bis 75 Vol.-%, besonders bevorzugt etwa 60 Vol-%, eines Prozessluftstroms im Prozessluftkanal nach dem Ausgang aus der Trocknungskammer gestattet.The recirculating air duct is preferably designed such that it permits a branching off of a proportion of 30% by volume to 75% by volume, particularly preferably about 60% by volume, of a process air flow in the process air duct after the exit from the drying chamber.

In der ersten Stellung des Verschlussmechanismus ist der Luftstrom im Abluftkanal deutlich erhöht, so dass Flusen besser nach außen befördert werden können. Somit können im Abluftkanal die Kondensatbildung reduziert und der Flusenabtransport verbessert werden.In the first position of the closure mechanism, the air flow in the exhaust duct is significantly increased, so that lint can be better transported to the outside. Consequently can be reduced in the exhaust duct condensate formation and lint removal can be improved.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform dieses Verfahrens wird ein Teil von 30 Vol.-% bis 75 Vol.-% eines Prozessluftstroms im Prozessluftkanal nach dem Ausgang aus der Trocknungskammer in den Umluftkanal geleitet.In a preferred embodiment of this method, a portion of 30 vol .-% to 75 vol .-% of a process air flow in the process air duct after the exit from the drying chamber in the recirculating air duct is passed.
Durch die Verwendung eines Umluftkanals bzw. die Durchleitung der heißen, mit Feuchtigkeit beladenen Umluft durch den Umluftkanal zur Heizung wird im Allgemeinen die Lufttemperatur hinter der Heizung bei gleichbleibender Heizleistung angehoben. Aufgrund des vergrößerten Luftstroms über die Heizung kann jedoch die Trommeleintrittstemperatur im zulässigen Bereich bleiben. Zur Einstellung einer gewünschten Trommeleintrittstemperatur bzw. Trommelaustrittstemperatur kann der Luftstrom der Abluft, der Umluft und/oder der Zuluft geregelt werden, beispielsweise durch Verwendung einer ersten steuerbaren Verschlussvorrichtung im Umluftkanal und/oder einer zweiten steuerbaren Verschlussvorrichtung im Zuluftkanal.By using a circulating air channel or the passage of the hot, laden with moisture circulating air through the recirculation channel for heating the air temperature is generally raised behind the heater at a constant heat output. However, due to the increased airflow through the heater, the drum inlet temperature may remain within the allowable range. To set a desired drum inlet temperature or drum outlet temperature, the air flow of the exhaust air, the circulating air and / or the supply air can be regulated, for example by using a first controllable closure device in the circulating air duct and / or a second controllable closure device in the supply air duct.
Insbesondere kann zur Beschleunigung der Aufheizung der Prozessluft nach dem Einschalten des Trockners die Menge an Zuluft durch die zweite regelbare Verschlussvorrichtung im Zuluftkanal so gesteuert werden, dass die Zufuhr von Zuluft gestoppt wird und nur mit Umluft als Prozessluft gearbeitet wird.In particular, to accelerate the heating of the process air after switching on the dryer, the amount of supply air can be controlled by the second controllable closure device in the supply air duct so that the supply of supply air is stopped and is operated only with circulating air as process air.
Erfindungsgemäß ist es bevorzugt, wenn Abluft und Zuluft jeweils in einem Kreuz- bzw. Gegenstromverfahren durch die entsprechenden Wärmetauscher geführt werden.According to the invention, it is preferred if exhaust air and supply air are each guided through the corresponding heat exchangers in a crossflow or countercurrent process.
Da mit fortschreitendem Trocknungsgrad der im Trockner zu trocknenden Gegenstände die notwendige Energie für das Trocknen abnimmt, ist es zweckmäßig, die Heizung entsprechend zu regeln, d.h. mit fortschreitendem Trocknungsgrad deren Heizleistung zu vermindern.Since, as the degree of drying of the articles to be dried in the dryer decreases, the energy required for drying decreases, it is appropriate to regulate the heating accordingly; with increasing degree of drying to reduce their heat output.
