- This sealing head DK has on its underside a sealing sleeve DM, which ensures a closure of the outlet opening AU and the downpipe FR against the washing container SB1 with attached sealing head DK.
- the sealing head DK is connected to a first lever arm H1.
- Sealing head DK and first lever arm H1 are preferably made in one piece, z. B. plastic by injection molding.
- the first lever arm H1 is rotatably mounted on opposite side walls of the washing container SB1. Lifting the sealing head DK from and lowering the outlet opening AU is thus accompanied by a pivoting movement of the first lever 1.
- For opening the closure part VT1 from its closing basic Position is a force (in the form of a linear force component or torque) exerted on the lever arm H1, as will now be described in more detail.
- Fig. 2B shows the washing container SB1 in plan view from above.
- the plate-shaped sealing head DK is the upper side and the edge connected to the first lever arm H1.
- the lever arm H1 has to save weight while maintaining high rigidity on a strut-shaped structure, which merges at the opposite end to the sealing head DK in serving as a lever axis L1 shaft.
- the shaft L1 is rotatably supported at opposite positions of the side wall of the purge bin SB1.
- On one side, here: the lower side, a passage opening DO in the side wall of the washing container SB1 is provided, through which the first lever arm H1 is mechanically connected via a coded jaw clutch KK with a second lever arm H2 mounted externally on the washing container SB1.
- Fig. 3 shows the rinse tank SB1 shown in dashed lines dashed lines.
- a lifting magnet HM is activated by means of a control signal from the control device ST, so that it extends a plunger SO upward, which after an initial freewheel on the outer lever H2 the lower contact surface KF (see FIG. 2B) is contacted or engages and subsequently displaces upward.
- the rotational movement of serving as a force arm second lever arm H2 is transmitted via the jaw clutch KK on serving as a load arm first lever arm H1, which then rotates in the same direction, thereby lifting the sealing head DK.
- a lifting magnet HM is particularly suitable for the Ventilö Anlagensaktorik shown. So he can be connected to mains voltage of z. B. 110 or 230 VAC and therefore does not need a separate power supply.
- z. B. a bridge rectifier
- the solenoid also use in a DC configuration, which opens up the possibility of noise insulation, which is not possible with a pure AC solenoid. Impact sound between pole core and anchor can then be significantly reduced when operated with direct current solenoid, for example, by insulating plates between the armature and pole core.
- a solenoid HM has a fast opening time (typically about 100-400 ms), which is advantageous because the rinsing effect / water surge is based largely on the high kinetic energy of the water, which is located in the purge tank SB1.
- this energy can only be used effectively if the sealing head DK lifts off sufficiently quickly.
- the solenoid HM as such is also much cheaper compared to actuators.
- the closure part VT1 shown in contrast to other lever designs, has the further advantage that the actuator can be mounted externally to the rinse container SB1.
- the actuator HM In a - possible in principle - positioning of the actuator HM in the washing container SPB1 would disadvantageously (a) the actuator HM have to be designed waterproof and moisture-sealed, (b) an electrical contact via elaborate sliding contacts must be implemented and (c) the actuator in Tank SB1 occupy a large volume, which would reduce the effective Spülementvolumen.
- the opening cross section to the downpipe also plays an important role, ie that the sealing head DK only has to open quickly enough, but also far enough.
- the lifting magnet HM shows due to the available small space a certain disadvantage, since the force-displacement curve is increasingly unfavorable for strokes of more than about 15 mm.
- the opening force (the force necessary to lift the sealing head) sets Among other things, the spring force of the return spring RF, the static water column on the sealing head DK and sliding and static friction forces together.
- the effective load IL of the lever arm H1 between the lever axis L1 and the center of the sealing head DK is 115 mm in the illustrated embodiment.
- the effective force arm IK of the lever arm H2 between the lever axis L1 and the contact surface with the plunger SO of the lifting magnet HM is 65 mm.
- the plunger SO must bridge between its retracted ground state and the contact with the second lever H2 at the contact surface a free stroke h ⁇ of 4 mm.
- the maximum stroke dx2 then exerted by the lifting magnet HM used here on the second lever H2 is 21 mm.
- the different effective arms IK, IL result in a maximum stroke dx1 at the first lever arm H1 of approx. 37 mm, which roughly reflects the aspect ratio IL / IK, whereby geometrical corrections are not taken into account for a simple description.
- the lever-supported closure part VT1 the disadvantage of the lifting magnet HM, namely its non-optimal force-displacement characteristic curve for longer stroke distances, can be eliminated and at the same time a structurally advantageous position of the actuator HM outside the washing compartment can be realized. Overall, results in a compact, fast switching, easy to install and wide-opening closure device VT1.
- FIG. 5A shows a schematic representation of a top view of the evaporator EV in the device shown in FIG. 1.
- the evaporator EV consists of a series of mutually parallel slats LA.
- These lamellae LA are formed by metal plates, which are cooled in said condenser device in such a way that moisture of the moist process air supplied to them from the right side in FIG. 5A precipitates on the cold surfaces of the lamellae LA and, as indicated in FIG. 1, leads to the discharge of condensate water and / or tap water to the condensate water tank KW shown there.
- Fig. 5A shows a schematic representation of a top view of the evaporator EV in the device shown in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 5A the stationary position of the flushing nozzle DU is indicated with respect to the evaporator EV.
- the rinsing nozzle DU is in each case arranged stationarily with respect to the evaporator EV
- FIG. 5B shows a device in which the rinsing nozzle DU is displaceable relative to the evaporator EV, ie can be deflected more precisely.
- a drive device is provided above the evaporator EV of the mentioned capacitor device, which consists of an electric motor MO controllable by the control device ST, a threaded spindle GW rotatable by the latter and a nut part MU coupled thereto, which in the present case is connected to the Flush nozzle DU is connected.
- the threaded spindle GW is, as indicated in FIG. 5B, carried on its end remote from the motor MO by a support bearing SL.
- the flushing nozzle DU is connected to the downpipe FR by a movable connection part BV, which can be formed, for example, by a bellows part or a corrugated hose.
- a movable connection part BV which can be formed, for example, by a bellows part or a corrugated hose.
- the fins LA of the evaporator EV according to FIG. 5A can be rinsed over a defined length, for example over their entire length, by means of the condensate water discharged through the downpipe FR and the rinsing nozzle DU and / or from tap water.
- the aforementioned surge-like discharge of the condensate water and / or the tap water passing through the downpipe FR and the flushing nozzle DU from an initial region located at the inlet region of the process air into the evaporator EV of the condenser device to a distance away from it in the direction of the Outlet region of the process air from the evaporator EV end region lying can also be made by the fact that the downpipe FR is deflected together with the rinsing nozzle DU accordingly.
- the mentioned deflection can also take place in a manner other than illustrated in FIG. 5B, that is to say generally by a deflection device operated mechanically, hydraulically, pneumatically or electromechanically.
- the device shown in Fig. 6 in a corresponding schematic view as used for Fig. 1, according to the second embodiment is considered. Since the device shown in Fig. 6 largely corresponds to the device shown in Fig. 1, only those features will be discussed in more detail with which this device differs from the device shown in Fig. 1.
- the device according to the second embodiment shown in FIG. 6 differs from the device shown in FIG. 1 essentially in that it omits the storage container SP1 provided in the device according to FIG. 1, the function of which is taken over by the rinsing container SB2 , If the rinse tank SB2 is filled with condensate water, then further condensate water supplied to it, as in the case of the apparatus shown in FIG. 1, arrives safely in the return duct RK through an overflow arrangement UB and thus directly back into the condensate water trough KW.
- Condensate water collected in the rinse tank SB2 can, like the rinse tank provided in the apparatus according to FIG. 1, be delivered to the downpipe FR for the purpose of cleaning the evaporator EV by abrupt opening of the closure part VT1.
- the rinse tank SB2 can be a manually removable rinse tank SB2, by which the condensate water pumped up from the condensate water tank KW can be disposed of.
- the disposal of the condensate water from the rinse tank SB2 can be carried out in that the relevant rinse tank SB2 is completely removed from the washer or dryer and emptied into a waste water discharge device. This emptying can be done manually. But it is also possible that the condensate contained in the purge SB2 pumped by means of an electrically operated pump and is discharged into the mentioned wastewater discharge device.
- FIGS. 7 and 8 show the rinsing container SB2 in a sectional representation as a cuboid receiving body, which is covered on its upper side by a cover DE.
- This cover DE can with the relevant receiving body, for example, be connected by a snap connection arrangement.
- the receptacle body of the washing container SB2 in question has a handle GR, with which the washing container SB2 enters a corresponding receiving opening GO of an appliance body GK of the washing machine, which also serves as a guide device for the washing container SB2. or tumble dryer is inserted.
- Fig. 7 shows the rinse tank SB2 in a state in which it is fully inserted into the receiving opening GO of the device body GK
- Fig. 8 shows the case that the rinse tank SB2 is slightly pulled out of this receiving opening GO of the device body GK.
- the sealing head DK of the closure part VT1 shown in FIGS. 7 and 8 is supported by the lever arm D1, which is received in the side walls of the flushing container SB2 the closure part VT1 so that the washing container SB2 with the closure part VT1 (to which the two lever arms H1 and H2 but not the lifting magnet HM belongs) relative to the mentioned receiving opening GO can be moved.
- Fig. 9 shows a guide unit GO forming part of the device body GK.
- the rinse tank SB2 is used in the guide unit GO.
- the washing container SB2 can be pulled out of the guide unit GO by means of the handle GR.
- the lifting magnet HM is arranged on an outer side of the guide unit GO forming part of the device body GK, wherein the plunger SO sealed for contacting with the underside of the outer lever H2 of the closure part VT1 by a, unspecified here, implementation in a lower shell US of the guide unit GO is guided.
- FIG. 10 shows the device from FIG. 9 in the same view, with the rinse container SB2 now partially being pulled out of the guide unit GO.
- the closure part VT1 is entrained and thus separated by solenoid HM and plunger SO.
- the return spring (not shown here) it is ensured that the outlet opening closes independently of the position of the washing container SB2.
- the rinse tank SB2 may be removed from the dryer and handled by a user, e.g. B. for dumping of condensate without there is a risk of unintentional opening of the outlet opening AU.
- the rinse tank can be divided into two chambers, namely a rinsing chamber and a collection chamber, which is subdivided by a separating or intermediate wall.
- the pumped up by the pump from the condensate water tank condensate then passes, for example, through the connecting channel first in the washing chamber. Since the partition is slightly lower in height than the height of the edge regions of a combination or short Kombibe- container performing rinse tank, the rinsing chamber is first filled with condensate water from the condensate water tank. If the rinsing chamber is filled with condensate water, further condensate water supplied to it passes through an overflow into the collecting chamber. If the collection chamber filled, water is derived from it via the overflow UB.
