Definitions

  • the invention relates to a laundry drying apparatus having a process air duct, wherein a lint filter is provided in the process air duct.
  • the invention relates to a method for cleaning a lint filter in a laundry drying apparatus.
  • a lint filter is typically used in a process air duct to retain fibers and other particulate matter entrained by a laundry or fabrics during a drying process, collectively referred to as fluff, so that they also do not enter the process air duct functional units such as blowers, pumps, heating, heat exchangers, waterways, airways, etc. can contaminate or even clog.
  • a lint filter has so far been a flat lint filter made of material, in particular plastic gauze, small-pored foil or fine mesh.
  • the lint filter In order to remove the lint adhering to the lint filter, the lint filter is usually removable and can be cleaned after removal by a user.
  • a lint filter is from the WO 2007/057264 A1 known, where there is additionally an odor filter, eg with activated carbon, is present.
  • a disadvantage of the conventional lint filters is that while. Fluff can be effectively retained, but hair may not.
  • the gauze is so far designed so that a free passage area of about 36% to 45% of the total area and a mesh size of 100 .mu.m to 200 .mu.m is ensured, otherwise the lint filter clogs too fast and its air resistance to passing through process air too high becomes. Finer gauze with a mesh size of less than 150 microns tends to clog quickly during a drying process.
  • hair can be taken up by the liquid and transported by the latter into the liquid guidance system, where it causes problems in the usually very simply constructed pump; For example, it can lead to blockages through hair bundles. Also, hair can wrap around a drive shaft of a blower and block this blower. Furthermore, hair in the process air duct is difficult to remove.
  • a laundry drying apparatus having a process air duct, wherein a lint filter is provided in the process air duct, which lint filter has at least one brush filter which traverses the process air duct over the whole area and downstream of which a lint filter held in a frame is arranged.
  • the brush filter so a filter with a brush trim, is far more effective than the previous lint filters in retaining hair. Use of at least one such brush filter thus enables the lint filter to retain hair as well.
  • the brush filter lies in the process air duct, so that the process air has to flow through the brush filter.
  • the brush filter can be provided in particular for use in a process air duct of the laundry drying apparatus.
  • the brush filter has a roller-like shape. So it can cover a wide process air duct, as it is often present in a lint filter.
  • the brush filter has a bottle brush attachment.
  • Such stocking has been found to be a particularly good compromise between filter efficiency, low air resistance, good cleanability, and high resistance in the process air stream.
  • the type of bottle brushing is e.g. household brushes for cleaning bottles, etc. known.
  • the lint filter has a lint filter and the brush filter is arranged in the flow direction behind the lint filter.
  • the brush filter is not contaminated by lint.
  • the lint filter has a lint filter and the brush filter is arranged in the flow direction in front of the lint filter. In this way, while the brush filter is exposed to lint, it effectively keeps hair away from the lint filter.
  • the lint filter has a lint comb.
  • a user of the clothes dryer can thoroughly clean the brush filter if necessary.
  • the lint comb may be removable from the lint filter. However, it is preferred that the lint comb be firmly attached to the lint filter so that it can not be lost.
  • the lint comb has a hole with attached to its inner edge tines and that the brush filter is movable for its purification by the lint line.
  • a uniform and rapid cleaning of the brush filter is made possible, in particular with an elongate, e.g. cylindrical, brush filter.
  • the lint comb represents a support member for the brush filter. This means that the lint comb holds the brush filter in a normal operation. By this dual function components can be saved, and the brush filter can be easily pulled through the lint comb for cleaning.
  • the lint comb is made of a flexible material, in particular plastic. This facilitates passage of the brush filter and prevents damage to the brush filter and / or the lint comb.
  • the laundry dryer is a washer-dryer.
  • the clothes drying apparatus may be e.g. also be a tumble dryer.
  • the process air duct is a recirculating air duct.
  • the clothes dryer is a condensation clothes dryer.
  • the laundry drying device can be equipped for this purpose, for example with a heat pump.
  • the object is also achieved by a method for cleaning a lint filter in a laundry drying apparatus according to the invention, wherein the method comprises at least the following step: pulling the brush filter through a attached to the lint filter lint comb with internal tines. This allows a uniform and fast cleaning of the brush filter.
  • the brush filter has a roller-like shape and the lint comb has a ring-like shape, e.g. by means of a circular hole. This allows a particularly fast and thorough cleaning.
  • Fig.1 shows a sectional side view of a clothes dryer W with a filter 4 used by a bearing plate 2 in a corresponding receiving space 3.
  • the receiving space 3 is part of a process air channel K.
  • the filter can be removed with the door open D for cleaning from the bearing plate 2.
  • the process air P flows in an operation of the clothes dryer W in a generally known manner from a laundry drying room R, which is here designed by a rotatable laundry drum T, to the filter 4.
  • the process air P is after passing over laundry located in the laundry drum T and wet contains lint and, to a small extent, hair.
  • the process air P then flows through a strip-shaped upper edge 5 of the filter 4, which is provided for this purpose with passage openings 15.
  • the process air continues to flow through at least one lint filter 7 held in a frame 6, from which most, in particular coarser, fluff are retained in the process air P.
  • the process air P which is now significantly reduced in the content of lint, continues to flow to a heat sink S, at which the process air P can condense.
  • the now dried process air passes through a heater and a blower (not shown) and is blown back into the laundry drum T as dry-warm process air.
  • a pivotable protective frame 9 is arranged at a lower edge 8 of the frame 6, which as shown at the upper edge 5 pivotable and releasably attachable there, eg through a snap connection.
  • the inclination of the equipped with the lint filter 7 frame 6 with respect to the incoming process air P reduces air resistance to the process air P.
  • the filter 4 now also has a filter brush 10, which is supported on two externally mounted between the upper edge 5 and the frame 6 support members 11 for the brush filter 10.
  • the support members 11 each have a circular hole 12 for terminal use of the brush filter 10.
  • the frame 6, the upper edge 5, the protective frame 9 and the support members 11 may be made in one piece from plastic, e.g. by means of an injection molding process.
  • Fig.2 shows the filter 4 in a front view with respect to the process air flow, ie in a view of the filter 4, before the process air P flows through this.
  • the protective frame 9 is shown here in sections in a folded-down position.
  • the frame 6 has a U-shaped outer strut 13 and a vertical center strut 14, which are completed on the upper side of the upper edge 5. Through the middle strut 14, a rigidity of the filter 4 is improved, and two subspaces for receiving a respective lint filter or a two-part lint filter 7 are provided.
  • the filter 4 is typically gripped at its upper edge 5.
  • the upper edge 5 typically closes the opening of the receiving space 3 in the bearing plate 2.
  • a further lint filter 7 may be provided, whereby the filter 4 receives the shape of a symmetrical V, wherein both lint screens 7 are equally flowed through by the process air P.
  • the brush filter 10 covers from below the existing in the upper edge 5 slot-shaped passage openings 15 and is thus flowed through by the process air P. This means that the process air P initially coming from the laundry drum T flows through the passage openings 15 and further through the brush filter 10, in which the hair is effectively retained, but not lint or only to a small extent.
  • the brush filter 10 is therefore not added by lint. Due to the comparatively coarse structure of the brush filter 10 hardly any pressure loss takes place at this.
  • the brush filter 10 has a roller-like shape and a bottle brush trim, as in Figure 4 will be described in more detail.
  • the hair-free process air P then continues to flow to the conventional lint filter 7, where the lint is retained.
  • FIG 3 shows the filter 4 with the partially removed brush filter 10.
  • the brush filter 10 is pulled to its removal by one of the support members 11, namely here the right of the support members 11.
  • the support members 11 additionally serve as a comb or brush comb, so that when the brush filter 10 is pulled out, it is cleaned of hair.
  • the hair which has been previously filtered from the process air P, remain in the support member / comb 11 and can be easily removed from there. Possibly. This combing process can be repeated several times.
  • FIG 4 shows the completely removed brush filter 10 with the associated combined support member and comb 11.
  • the support member or the comb 11 is made of a flexible plastic and has at its inner edge circumferentially arranged tines 15 on.
  • the tines 15 are slightly bevelled in the direction of the frame of the filter 4 and thus in the direction of the brush filter used 10.
  • the tines 15 are bent when pulling out of the brush filter 10 to the inside and are thus bent into the brush filter 10 for a particularly thorough combing action.
  • the hairs H remain between the prongs 15 and can be easily removed by hand.
  • the brush filter 10 has a roller-like basic shape with an elongate, optionally flexible stem 16 and a bottle brush attachment 17 attached thereto, e.g. similar to a household bottle brush.
  • the filter brush 10 may also be arranged behind the conventional lint filter 7. This will remove the lint and then the hair from the process air stream first.
  • the filter 4 may be disposed at a different location in the tumble dryer, eg in a door.
  • the clothes dryer may generally be a tumble dryer or a washer dryer.
