Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wäschetrockner mit einer in einem Gehäuse drehbar gelagerten Trommel, einer mit einer Tür verschließbaren Beschickungsöffnung, sowie einem Gebläse und einer Heizeinrichtung zur Erzeugung eines Prozessluftstromes, der im verriegelten Zustand der Tür durch die Trommel über eine im Rand der Beschickungsöffnung mit einem Flusenfilter versehene korrespondierende Öffnung strömt, die einen Teilbereich des Einfüllringes bildet.The invention relates to a tumble dryer with a drum rotatably mounted in a housing, a closable with a door feed opening, and a fan and a heater for generating a process air flow in the locked state of the door through the drum via a in the edge of the feed opening with a lint filter provided corresponding opening flows, which forms a portion of the filling ring.

Aus dem Stand der Technik ist aus der DE 20 2007 014 571 ein Filter für Wäschetrockner zum Auffangen der beim Trocknungsvorgang erzeugten Flusen bekannt. Dabei ist das Filter mit einem in einem Rahmen angeordneten Filtermedium aus Kunststoff, welches herausnehmbar und wieder einsetzbar, in der Trockenluftleitung mittels einer Dichtung angeordnet. Dabei ist das Filter im Rand der Beschickungsöffnung untergebracht und bildet hier einen Teilbereich des Einfüllringes. Eine andere Ausführungsform ist noch gemäß der DE 42 20 534 bekannt, die einen Taumeltrockner offenbart, wobei bei diesem Taumeltrockner die Filtereinrichtung im unteren Bereich des Gehäuses untergebracht ist.From the prior art is from the DE 20 2007 014 571 a filter for clothes dryer for catching the lint generated during the drying process known. In this case, the filter with a arranged in a frame filter medium made of plastic, which is removable and reusable, arranged in the dry air line by means of a seal. The filter is housed in the edge of the feed opening and here forms a portion of the filling ring. Another embodiment is still according to the DE 42 20 534 discloses a tumble dryer, wherein in this tumble dryer, the filter device is housed in the lower region of the housing.

Bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Wäschetrocknern wird es als nachteilig angesehen, dass die Filtereinrichtungen im Türbereich nur eine einzige Filterebene zulassen, wobei Zusatzfilter hier nur in tieferen Bereichen in der Vorderwand unterzubringen sind. Zudem ergibt sich bei den bekannten Ausführungen des Standes der Technik eine kleine Filterfläche, die einen relativ hohen Strömungsverlust hervorruft, wobei die Luftführung hinsichtlich der Reinigung nicht oder nur schwer zugänglich ist.In these known from the prior art tumble driers, it is considered disadvantageous that the filter devices in the door area allow only a single filter level, additional filters are here to accommodate only in deeper areas in the front wall. In addition, results in the known embodiments of the prior art, a small filter surface, which causes a relatively high flow loss, the air guide is not or only with difficulty with respect to the cleaning.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit die Aufgabe, einen Wäschetrockner mit einem Flusenfilter im Randbereich der Beschickungsöffnung hinsichtlich der Zugänglichkeit zu verbessern.The invention thus has the object to improve a clothes dryer with a lint filter in the edge region of the feed opening in terms of accessibility.

Erfindungsgemäß wird die Aufgabe durch einen Wäschetrockner mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention the object is achieved by a tumble dryer 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 nun darin, dass ein großflächiges Filter für den Benutzer gut sichtbar und zugänglich bereitgestellt wird. Hierzu ist das Flusenfilter im Türbereich der Einfüllöffnung einsetzbar, wobei zur Vergrößerung der Filterfläche das Flusenfilter aus mehreren Filterebenen bzw. Siebebenen besteht. Dabei ergibt sich bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Flusenfilter ein optimales Handling bei geöffneter Tür, da das Flusenfilter Siebeinsätze mit jeweils einer Filterebene umfasst. Dadurch sind die einzelnen Siebeinsätze einfach von der Frontseite her in horizontaler Richtung herausnehmbar.The advantages achievable with the invention consist in the fact that a large-area filter for the user is provided in a clearly visible and accessible manner. For this purpose, the lint filter can be used in the door region of the filling opening, wherein the lint filter consists of several filter planes or sieve planes to increase the filter area. This results in the lint filter according to the invention an optimal handling with the door open, since the lint filter Sieve inserts, each with a filter level comprises. As a result, the individual sieve inserts are easy to remove from the front in the horizontal direction.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung umfasst das Flusenfilter einen einstückigen Siebeinsatz mit mehreren Filterebenen, der hierbei als Haupt- und Zusatzsieb ausgebildet ist. Das eingesetzte Filter nimmt einen Teilbereich der Querschnittsfläche der Öffnung ein und wird mit einem Teilbereich der Tür abgedeckt, wenn sie geschlossen ist. Die Türdichtung kann hierbei am Türrand umlaufend und symmetrisch zum Schließkloben bzw. des Scharniers ausgebildet werden, so dass bei der Anlage der Dichtung an den Öffnungsrand eine Momentenbildung oder Verwindung im Bereich der Tür nicht entsteht. Zudem wird ermöglicht, dass ein großer Sichtbereich für das Sichtfenster gegeben ist, da nur das im unteren Bereich der Öffnung angeordnete Filter abgedeckt werden muss, wobei der verbleibende offene Querschnittsbereich der Türöffnung mit dem Schauglas verschlossen werden kann. Zudem stellt das erfindungsgemäße Flusensieb eine wesentlich größere Hauptsiebfläche bereit. Dies führt dazu, dass geringere Strömungsverluste hervorgerufen werden, wobei dadurch auch die Luftzuführung zumindest bereichsweise zur Reinigung gut zugänglich ist.In an advantageous development, the lint filter comprises a one-piece sieve insert with a plurality of filter planes, which in this case is designed as a main and auxiliary sieve. The filter used occupies a portion of the cross-sectional area of the opening and is covered with a portion of the door when it is closed. The door seal can in this case be formed on the edge of the door circumferentially and symmetrically to the closing bolt or the hinge, so that when the seal is applied to the opening edge, a moment or distortion in the door does not arise. In addition, it is possible that a large viewing area is given for the viewing window, since only the filter disposed in the lower region of the opening must be covered, wherein the remaining open cross-sectional area of the door opening can be closed with the sight glass. In addition, the lint filter according to the invention provides a much larger main screen area. This results in lower flow losses are caused, thereby also the air supply is at least partially well accessible for cleaning.

Gemäß der Erfindung ist hierbei das Flusenfilter aus einem Siebeinsatz mit mehreren Filterebenen gebildet, der gehäusefrontseitig einen Teilbereich des Einfüllringes bildet und darin formschlüssig eingesetzt bzw. eingebunden ist. Der Siebeinsatz kann somit frontseitig leicht entnommen und wieder eingesetzt werden.According to the invention, in this case the lint filter is formed from a sieve insert with a plurality of filter planes, which forms a partial region of the filling ring on the front side of the housing and is inserted or integrated therein in a form-fitting manner. The sieve insert can thus be easily removed from the front and reinserted.

In einer zweckmäßigen Ausführung ist der Siebeinsatz mehrteilig ausgebildet ist, wobei jedem Teil jeweils eine Filterebene zugeordnet ist. Somit kann eine optimale Balance zwischen der Filterleistung und des zur Verfügung stehenden Luftstroms erzielt werden.In an expedient embodiment of the sieve insert is designed in several parts, each part is assigned a respective filter plane. Thus, an optimal balance between the filter performance and the available air flow can be achieved.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung sind die jeweils eine Filterebene bildenden Teile derart im Frontbereich der Einfüllöffnung angeordnet, dass sie einzeln entnommen werden können. Somit kann ein erstes als Sieb ausgebildetes Grobfilter leicht handhabbar und gut zugänglich im Siebeinsatz angebracht werden, wobei ein strömungsmäßig dahinter liegendes Tiefenfilter nicht die häufigen Reinigungsinterwalle benötigt und deshalb weniger gut zugänglich angebracht werden kann.In an advantageous development, the respective parts forming a filter plane are arranged in the front region of the filling opening in such a way that they can be removed individually. Thus, a first formed as a sieve coarse filter can be easily handled and easily accessible in the sieve insert, with a downstream underlying depth filter does not require the frequent cleaning intervals and therefore less accessible can be attached.

In einer weiteren Ausführung sind zumindest eine erste Filterebene im Siebeinsatz und zumindest eine weitere Filterebene als Einlegeteil im Eingangsbereich des Luftkanals nachgeschaltet, so dass eine optimale Handhabung für den oft zu reinigenden erste Siebeinsatz gegeben ist.In a further embodiment, at least one first filter level in the sieve insert and at least one further filter level are connected downstream as an insert in the entrance area of the air duct, so that optimum handling is provided for the first sieve insert which is often to be cleaned.

In einer Weiterbildung ist der Siebeinsatz unterhalb einer vom Einfüllring gebildeten Sehne angeordnet. Die Sehne schränkt den Einfüllring abflachend im unteren Bereich der Beschickungsöffnung leicht ein, und bildet somit unterhalb der Sehne den Raum für den Siebeinsatz. In vorteilhafter Weise ist hierbei der den Siebeinsatz überstreichende Bereich der Sehne als Grobsieb, so dass die Sehne aus einem mit Löchern versehenem Steg gebildet ist.In a development, the sieve insert is arranged below a chord formed by the filling ring. The chord slightly restricts the filling ring flattening in the lower part of the feed opening, thus forming the space for the sieve insert below the chord. In an advantageous manner, the area of the tendon sweeping over the sieve insert is hereby used as a coarse sieve, so that the tendon is formed from a web provided with holes.

In Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist der Siebeinsatz aus einem sichelförmigen Hohlkörper gebildet, der den Raum zwischen dem Grobsieb und dem unteren Randbereich der Beschickungsöffnung bündig ausfüllt. Der Siebeinsatz umfasst hierbei eine erste Ebene für einen Filtereinsatz unterhalb des Grobsiebes, wobei eine zweite Ebene einen weiteren Filtereinsatz zwischen dem Siebeinsatz und einem in der Abluftöffnung angeordneten Tiefenfilter umfasst. Somit ergibt sich ein Filtersystem, welches aus drei Filterebenen gebildet wird. In vorteilhafter Ausgestaltung ist der als sichelförmig ausgebildete Siebeinsatz mit einem stirnseitigen Bereich im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür vom unteren Rand der Tür dichtend abgedeckt. Wie bereits schon oben erwähnt, wird hierdurch eine gleichmäßig umlaufende Türdichtung um den Türrand oder den Öffnungsrand bereit gestellt, die insbesondere keine Momentenbildung im Bereich der Tür hervorruft, so dass ein spannungsfreies Schließen bzw. Öffnen der Tür gegeben ist.In a further development of the invention, the sieve insert is formed from a crescent-shaped hollow body, which fills the space between the coarse sieve and the lower edge region of the feed opening flush. In this case, the sieve insert comprises a first plane for a filter insert below the coarse sieve, wherein a second plane comprises a further filter insert between the sieve insert and a depth filter arranged in the exhaust air opening. This results in a filter system which is formed from three filter levels. In an advantageous embodiment of the trained as a sickle-shaped strainer with a frontal area in the closed state of the door from the bottom of the door is sealingly covered. As already mentioned above, this provides a uniform circumferential door seal around the edge of the door or the edge of the opening, which in particular does not cause any torque formation in the region of the door, so that a tension-free closing or opening of the door is provided.

Nach einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist in der Tür ein nach innen gewölbtes Schauglas eingefasst, wobei der untere Bereich des Schauglasrandes sich im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür über dem Grobsieb erstreckt. Somit ergibt sich im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür zwischen dem unteren Schauglasrand und dem Grobsieb ein sich zur Trommel aufweitender Spalt.According to a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, an inwardly curved sight glass is enclosed in the door, wherein the lower portion of the sight glass edge extends in the closed state of the door on the coarse screen. Thus, in the closed state of the door between the lower sight glass edge and the coarse screen results in a widening gap to the drum.

Die Figur 1 zeigt in der geschnittenen Seitenansicht einen Wäschetrockner 1 mit einer in einem Gehäuse 2 drehbar gelagerten Trommel 3. Der Wäschetrockner 1 verfügt hierbei über eine Tür 4, die die Beschickungsöffnung 5 verschließt. Weiter verfügt der Wäschetrockner 1 über ein Gebläse 6 und eine Heizeinrichtung 7, welche zur Erzeugung eines Prozessluftstromes zur Trocknung der Wäschestücke dient. Dieser strömt im verriegelten Zustand der Tür 4 durch die Trommel 3 über eine im Rand 8 der Beschickungsöffnung 5 mit einem Flusenfilter 9 versehene korrespondierende Öffnung 10. Dabei ist, wie in den Figuren 2 und 3 zu erkennen ist, das Flusenfilter 9 ein Teilbereich des Einfüllringes 11.The FIG. 1 shows in the sectional side view of a clothes dryer 1 with a rotatably mounted in a housing 2 drum 3. The dryer 1 here has a door 4, which closes the feed opening 5. Furthermore, the tumble dryer 1 has a fan 6 and a heating device 7, which serves to generate a process air stream for drying the laundry items. This flows in the locked state of the door 4 through the Drum 3 via a provided in the edge 8 of the feed opening 5 with a lint filter 9 corresponding opening 10. It is, as in the Figures 2 and 3 it can be seen, the lint filter 9 a portion of the filling ring 11th

Erfindungsgemäß ist das Flusenfilter 9 aus einem Siebeinsatz 12 mit mehreren Filterebenen 13, 14 und 15 gebildet. Hierbei bildet der Siebeinsatz 12 gehäuseseitig einen Teilbereich des Einfüllringes 11 und ist darin formschlüssig eingesetzt bzw. eingebunden, wie dies in der Zusammenschau der Figuren 2 und 3 zu erkennen ist. Der Siebeinsatz 12 ist, wie in der explodierten Darstellung gemäß Figur 2 dargestellt, unterhalb einer vom Einfüllring 11 gebildeten Sehne 16 angeordnet. Diese Sehne 16 verläuft leicht abflachend im unteren Bereich des Einfüllringes 11 und bildet somit unterhalb des Einfüllringes 11 einen Raum, in den der Siebeinsatz 12 von der Frontseite aus eingesteckt werden kann. Wie aus der Figur 2 weiter zu erkennen ist, ist der den Siebeinsatz 12 überstreichende Bereich der Sehne 16 als Grobsieb 17 ausgebildet. Dies ist deutlich an den Löchern in der stegförmigen Sehne 16 zu erkennen. In einer Weiterbildung ist der Siebeinsatz 12 aus einem sichelförmigen Hohlkörper 18 geformt, der den Raum zwischen dem Grobsieb 17 und dem unteren Randbereich 19 der Beschickungsöffnung 5 bündig ausfüllt. Wie aus der Figur 2 zu erkennen ist, weist der Siebeinsatz 12 eine erste Ebene 13 für einen Filtereinsatz 13.1 unterhalb des Grobsiebes 17 auf, wobei eine zweite Ebene 14 für einen weiteren Filtereinsatz 14.1 sich zwischen dem Siebeinsatz 12 und einem in der Abluftöffnung 20 angeordneten Tiefenfilter 15 erstreckt, wobei das Tiefenfilter 15 eine dritte Filterebene 15 bildet. Das Tiefenfilter 15 ist hierbei als zusätzliche Einlage ausgebildet, die unterhalb des Siebeinsatzes 12 im Eintrittsbereich des Luftkanals eingesetzt ist.According to the invention, the lint filter 9 is formed from a sieve insert 12 having a plurality of filter planes 13, 14 and 15. Here, the sieve insert 12 forms a part of the housing Einfüllringes 11 on the housing side and is inserted or integrated therein positively, as in the synopsis of Figures 2 and 3 can be seen. The sieve insert 12 is, as in the exploded view according to FIG. 2 represented, arranged below a chord 16 formed by the filling ring 11. This chord 16 runs slightly flattening in the lower region of the filling ring 11 and thus forms below the filling ring 11 a space in which the sieve insert 12 can be inserted from the front side. Like from the FIG. 2 can be seen further, the Siebeinsatz 12 sweeping portion of the chord 16 is formed as a coarse screen 17. This can be clearly seen in the holes in the web-shaped chord 16. In a development, the sieve insert 12 is formed from a crescent-shaped hollow body 18, which fills the space between the coarse sieve 17 and the lower edge region 19 of the feed opening 5 flush. Like from the FIG. 2 can be seen, the strainer 12 has a first plane 13 for a filter insert 13.1 below the Grobsiebes 17, wherein a second plane 14 for a further filter element 14.1 extends between the sieve insert 12 and disposed in the exhaust port 20 depth filter 15, wherein the Depth filter 15 forms a third filter plane 15. The depth filter 15 is formed here as an additional insert, which is inserted below the sieve insert 12 in the inlet region of the air channel.

Gemäß der Figur 3 ist zu erkennen, dass der als sichelförmig ausgebildete Siebeinsatz 12 mit seinem stirnseitigen Bereich im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür 4 vom unteren Rand der Tür 4 dichtend abgedeckt ist. Auch ist in der Zusammenschau der Figuren 2 und 3 zu erkennen, dass in der Tür 4 ein nach innen gewölbtes Schauglas 21 eingefasst ist. Wie aus der Figur 3 deutlich zu erkennen ist, erstreckt sich der untere Bereich des Schauglasrandes 22 im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür 4 über dem Grobsieb 17. Dies führt dazu, dass sich zwischen dem unteren Schauglasrand 22 und dem Grobsieb 17 ein sich zur Trommel 3 hin aufweitender Spalt 24 im geschlossenen Zustand der Tür 4 ergibt. Es versteht sich nun von selbst, dass, wenn die Tür 4 geöffnet ist, mit einem Griff der Siebeinsatz 12 aus der Frontseite des Gehäuses 2 entnommen werden kann, so dass insbesondere die Filtereinsätze 13.1, 14.1 wie auch das Tiefelfilter 15 aus der Abluftöffnung 20 leicht heraus genommen werden können, um diese zu reinigen oder um diese auszutauschen.According to the FIG. 3 It can be seen that the trained as sickle-shaped strainer insert 12 is sealed with its frontal region in the closed state of the door 4 from the bottom of the door 4 sealing. Also in the synopsis of Figures 2 and 3 to recognize that in the door 4 an inwardly curved sight glass 21 is enclosed. Like from the FIG. 3 can be clearly seen, the lower portion of the sight glass edge 22 extends in the closed state of the door 4 above the coarse sieve 17. This leads to the fact that between the lower sight glass edge 22 and the coarse sieve 17 to the drum 3 widening gap 24 in the closed Condition of the door 4 results. It goes without saying that, when the door 4 is opened, can be removed with a handle of the sieve insert 12 from the front of the housing 2, so that in particular the filter cartridges 13.1, 14.1 as well as the deep filter 15 from the exhaust port 20 easily can be taken out to clean them or to exchange them.
