Definitions

  • the invention relates to a laundry drying apparatus having a removable condensate collecting container having a condensate inlet and a condensate drain, wherein the condensate collection container has a condensate filter with at least one sieve, which is arranged fluidically between the condensate inlet and the condensate drain and spaced from the condensate inlet.
  • a dryer in each case, which has a drying chamber to receive objects to be dried, and a process air duct for conducting process air along the articles to receive moisture therefrom; and a heat sink disposed in the process air channel to separate the moisture as condensate, the dryer having a condensate collection vessel to receive the condensate.
  • a condensate (typically condensed water) collected in the condensate collector is used to clean at least one component of the dryer of lint, in particular a heat sink.
  • the heat sink is used in the drying process to extract heat from a stream of process air which is circulated to receive moisture around the articles to be dried, thus precipitating the moisture taken up from the articles as condensate.
  • the heat sink is in particular a component of a heat pump, for example an evaporator heat exchanger in which the extracted from the process air heat is used to evaporate a refrigerant circulating through the heat pump, where it undergoes cyclic phase changes from liquid to gas and vice versa.
  • lint particles such as dust, hair or small fibers, referred to below as lint
  • Fluff will be especially in the Drying laundry or other textiles occur, especially when the objects are circulated in a rotating drum, as is usual for laundry.
  • a corresponding dryer will have one or more filters to filter such lint from the process air; however, a fraction of the lint will escape the filter and continue to be transported along the path of the process air.
  • condensate Upon subsequent cooling of the process air in the heat sink, condensate will separate out of the process air with the lint that has escaped the filter. Some of the lint so accumulated in the condensate are deposited on the heat sink and stick there.
  • a device for cleaning the heat sink can be provided.
  • the cleaning device has a manifold directed towards the heat sink and has means for spraying the condensate so collected onto the heat sink to remove the lint adhered to it.
  • the manifold In order to prevent the manifold from being added by lint distributed in the condensate, it has nozzles with cross-sections large enough to allow the lint to flow without agglomeration. These large cross sections cause a low pressure and / or a low velocity of the condensate pressed through. This impairs the cleaning effect.
  • the condensate could e.g. be passed through a pot-shaped filter insert at initiation into the condensate collector.
  • the filter cartridge could be inserted into a condensate inlet of the condensate collection tank. In the filter cartridge, the lint that may be in the condensate could be retained.
  • a use of such a filter cartridge has the following disadvantages:
  • the relatively small screen area or filter surface of the pot-shaped filter cartridge can be clogged relatively quickly with lint.
  • a jet of condensate typically cyclically pumped into the condensate receiver, encounters increased flow resistance through the filter cartridge as such and increased by the accumulation of lint in the filter cartridge.
  • the condensate can not flow off quickly enough through the filter insert, so that a backwater builds up to the overflow of the condensate can, so that the condensate can get into the interior of the laundry dryer.
  • the lint floating in the filter insert is flushed out of the filter insert uncontrollably by the overflowing condensate.
  • the filter insert Due to its small size, the filter insert also fills quickly with lint and needs to be cleaned accordingly. In addition, it may even without the aforementioned deposits on the filter cartridge come to a condensate outlet, if the cyclically pumped condensate strikes parts of the filter cartridge, which act as a baffle plate and inject the incident condensate to the outside of the condensate collection container. It is the object of the present invention, at least partially to avoid the disadvantages mentioned above, and in particular to provide a simple, inexpensive and trouble-free way to remove lint from a condensate of a laundry dryer. This object is achieved according to the features of the independent claim. Preferred embodiments are in particular the dependent claims.
  • a laundry drying apparatus having a removable condensate collecting container having a condensate inlet and a condensate drain, wherein the condensate collecting container comprises a condensate filter with at least one sieve, which is arranged fluidically between the condensate inlet and the condensate drain and spaced from the condensate inlet, and wherein the Condensate filter can be removed from the condensate collection tank and locked to the condensate collection tank.
  • condensate filter is arranged fluidically between the condensate inlet and the condensate outlet means that condensate introduced into the condensate inlet flows essentially completely through the condensate filter before it can be discharged as filtered condensate through the condensate drain.
  • the condensate filter is arranged at a distance from the condensate inlet in the condensate collecting tank.
  • an increased volume for the inflowing condensate is provided in front of the condensate filter, so that a Splashing during filling of the condensate and the risk of jetting out of drops are reliably prevented.
  • the condensate filter from the condensate collection tank can be removed.
  • the condensate filter thoroughly from stubborn adhering contaminants (fluff, etc.) can be freed.
  • the condensate filter on the condensate collection container (releasably) can be locked. This ensures that the condensate filter is fully inserted and that the condensate collector can be removed from the clothes dryer without the condensate filter coming loose from the condensate collector.
  • the condensate collection container has the particular advantage that the condensate can flow unhindered into the condensate inlet region of the condensate collection container.
  • the volume of the condensate collection container before the condensate filter is usually much larger than the volume of the filter insert in the condensate inlet; even the condensate inlet area itself is typically already considerably larger than the known filter element. Consequently, a further water flow is not influenced as much as with the filter insert, and the inflowing condensate does not jet back. Also, an overflow of the condensate collecting tank is effectively suppressed by the larger volume even with a partially added condensate filter. Furthermore, impurities, in particular lint, have a lower concentration in the collected condensate, so that the condensate filter does not become so fast.
  • the condensate collection container can be removed from the laundry drying apparatus according to the invention.
  • the condensate filter can be arranged next to the condensate inlet or condensate inlet region and, for example, represent a wall of the condensate inlet region. It is exploited that the Kondensateinlass Scheme itself already has a sufficiently large volume for the Condensate can provide.
  • the condensate inlet region is also advantageously designed, in particular with regard to its volume, largely independently of the condensate filter. Another advantage is that the condensate filter can be viewed through the condensate inlet opening, so that a user can check a degree of contamination of the condensate filter without removing it.
  • the condensate collector can also be filled with fresh water, possibly with an addition of a cleaning agent, instead of with condensate.
  • a fresh water inlet can be arranged at the condensate inlet or at a dedicated fresh water inlet.
  • a replenishment with fresh water can e.g. be advantageous if not enough condensate is available.
  • the condensate filter is arranged in a flow channel between the condensate inlet and the condensate drain.
  • the condensate filter covers a flow cross-section of the flow channel. In other words, the condensate flowing through the flow channel is filtered by the condensate filter. This makes it particularly easy to set desired filter characteristics.
  • the condensate filter has at least one substantially planar area sieve.
  • This provides a condensate filter which is particularly simple in design and can be arranged.
  • such a filter can be particularly thoroughly cleaned by reversing a flow direction, such as can be achieved by emptying the condensate collection container through the condensate inlet. This can happen, for example, after each drying process and / or after a corresponding message to the user.
  • Under a substantially planar-area sieve can also be understood a sieve which is slightly curved, for example in the flow direction; This increases a filter surface.
  • the shape of the sieve is not limited and may, for example, also have a semi-cylindrical contour.
  • the sieve can basically also be corrugated and so on.
  • a sieve is preferred which has an open shape (ie, no closed shape such as a cup, pot or tube shape). It is a further preferred embodiment that the at least one planar-area sieve is aligned substantially orthogonal to a flow direction of the condensate, for example in the flow channel.
  • a filter surface or sieve surface can be achieved, which can be significantly larger than with a filter element assigned to the condensate inlet.
  • the condensate filter can be inserted and removed from a slot in a cover of the condensate collection container.
  • the condensate filter can be removed very easily, and the condensate collection tank can be filled very high.
  • the condensate filter has a handle for removal from the condensate collection container, which greatly facilitates the removal.
  • the handle is hinged to a portafilter and the condensate filter is optionally locked and unlocked depending on a position of the handle on the condensate filter.
  • the condensate filter can be easily locked and unlocked by changing the position, in particular rotational position, of the handle.
  • an upright or upstanding handle may correspond to an unlocked position, and the handle may be particularly easily grasped in this unlatched position.
  • a folded-down or resting handle may correspond to a locked position.
  • the handle is equipped with a locking lever which presses the locked condensate filter into the condensate collecting tank.
  • the locking lever may have, for example, at least one eccentric element for a particularly simple and robust design.
  • the condensate filter can be pressed firmly into the condensate collection tank in order to reduce or completely close possible gaps on the condensate filter. By avoiding parasitic condensate flows around the condensate filter, filter efficiency is improved.
  • the condensate filter on the condensate collection container in particular cover, is releasably latched.
  • a lock is particularly easy to implement and not susceptible to wear.
  • the condensate filter has on its underside a directed against the flow direction rib ("sump").

  • the process air duct 4 has a means for driving the process air, in particular a fan 18, as well Means for heating the process air prior to introduction into the drying chamber 2, which means are in particular a heat source 15.
  • the process air line has a means to cool the process air after it has passed through the drum 2, in particular a heat sink 5.
  • Condensate which has been separated from the process air is collected by means of a condensate collecting device 6, 7, 8, which has a condensate line 6, which starts at the heat sink 5, and a condensate pump 7 and a condensate collecting 8, where the condensate line 6 ends.

  • the condensate collecting container 8 has a filter insert 9 which is permeable to condensate and projects through an opening 10 into the condensate collecting container 8. Condensate that is sent to the condensate collector 8 will enter through the filter cartridge 9. Likewise, when the condensate collecting tank 8 is removed from the dryer 1 after completion of a drying process to dispose of the condensate, the condensate is poured out of the condensate collecting tank 8 via the filter cartridge 9.
  • the filter cartridge 9 has a first screen 1, as best seen in Figs.
  • particulate matter may be lint, namely small and more or less dust-like fibers, which is produced by spinning the wet laundry on rotation of the drying chamber 2 and carried away by the process air.
  • Fluff in a broader sense may also include hair, etc.
  • the ability of the heat sink 5 to extract heat from the process air will decrease, and efficiency of the dryer 1 will be correspondingly reduced.
  • This layer of lint can also reduce a free flow cross-section of the heat sink 5, whereby an air resistance of the heat sink 5 increases. Consequently, a volume flow and thus a cooling capacity also decrease. Therefore, it is desirable to provide cleaning of the heat sink 5.

  • any lint adhering to the heat sink 5 can be washed off and flushed away with the condensate, which is conducted back to the condensate collecting tank 8 through the condensate line 6 and the condensate pump 7.
  • Any lint that has been passed through the condensate line 6 will collect on the first filter 11 of the filter element 9 and be prevented from entering the condensate collection tank 8. Thereby, the lint in the filter element 9 are collected for later disposal and the condensate, which is taken up again in the condensate collecting 8, is ready for another cleaning operation, if desired.

  • the filter cartridge 9 When the filter cartridge 9 is placed in the opening 10, which also serves to pour out the condensate collected in the condensate collector 8, the first filter 1 1 in the filter cartridge 9 by the condensate, through the opening 10 and the filter insert 9 contained therein is poured out, backwashed.
  • the collected lint are removed from the condensate collector 8 in a single action simultaneously with the condensate.
  • the use of such a filter cartridge 9 has the disadvantage that its volume is small, so that it simply clogged and must be cleaned frequently.

Pumping the heat from the heat sink 5 to the heat source 15 is by means of a coolant, in particular a fluorinated hydrocarbon compound or a mixture of such compounds, which is circulated in a closed circuit in which it is driven by a compressor 16 and in which there is a throttle process is subjected as it flows through a throttle 17. Operation of the pump 5, 15, 16, 17 proceeds as follows: the coolant reaches the heat sink 5 as a liquid at a relatively low pressure level.
  • the refrigerant absorbs heat from the process air and thereby evaporates, assuming a gas state.
  • the refrigerant in such a gas state is subsequently compressed by a compressor 16 to a relatively high pressure level and sent to the heat source 15.
  • heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the process air, and as a result, the refrigerant condenses back into a liquid state.
  • the coolant is passed to the throttle 17, which serves to lower the internal pressure of the coolant to the lower pressure level. Consequently, the refrigerant is returned to the heat sink 5, closing the circuit to repeat the cycle of evaporation and condensation as set forth.
  • the circuit must be perfectly sealed against any loss of coolant. Accordingly is it is not possible to remove the heat sink 5 for the purpose of cleaning or for other purposes.
  • the heat sink 5 and the heat source 15 shown in FIG. 1 are, in principle, understood as components of a heat pump, as further described in and with reference to FIG. In addition, they should also be understood as proxies of all known or obvious types of such components.

  • the process air duct 4 which includes all the components inserted in it, need not be perfectly closed. To ensure the operation of the dryer 1 is generally required no more and no less than to prevent greater losses of the process air, apart from considerable leakage of heat and / or moisture from the circuit. There is no need for a seal that would withstand considerable compressive loads without breaking. On the contrary, it will be desirable to keep the pressure in the circuit more or less at the pressure level outside the dryer 1.

  • An upstanding rib 128 acting as a space divider or dividing wall divides the condensate receiving space of the container body 120 into a first condensate chamber 129a and a second condensate chamber 129b.
  • This division of the space causes the condensate to rise first in the first condensate chamber 129a, as a result of which the water pressure rises faster than would occur if the entire container body 120 were filled.
  • This higher water pressure causes, when opening the drain valve 13 associated with the condensate collector 108, as e.g. shown in Fig.1 and Fig.4, the condensate passes at a higher speed through the liquid line 12 and via the manifold 14 to the heat sink 5.

  • the screen frame 233 has two latching noses 244 on its rear side corresponding spring-mounted locking receptacles 245 of the cover 221 engage and so hold the condensate filter 209 in the lid 221.
  • the condensate filter 209 can be easily snapped and removed by grasping at its comparatively simply formed handle 235.
  • the upstanding rib 128 on the condensate inlet region 210a has a comparison to another margin 247 (which defines the overflow height between the first condensate chamber 129a and the second condensate chamber 129b), lowered portion 246.
  • the depressed portion 246 is sized to allow lint from the condensate inlet portion 210a to drain through the depressed portion 246 into the second condensate chamber 129b before being flushed out of the condensate header 208 upon being filled.
  • water movement in the condensate inlet portion 210a is soothed because there is a larger water surface, which reduces a surface impulse.
  • the water surface then corresponds to a combined water surface of the condensate inlet region 210a and the second condensate chamber 129b.
  • the laundry drying apparatus may be, in particular, a washer-dryer or a tumble dryer.
  • a conventional condensation drying method e.g. with water as the coolant (condensation dryer or the like) and / or a heat pump for heating and cooling of the process air (heat pump dryer or the like) are used.
  • the type of locking is not limited to the reversal of the handle shown.
  • the condensate filter can be locked in the lid by a catch.
  • the condensate filter for example, one or more (eg two) locking means (eg latching lugs) which can engage in a sufficient insertion into corresponding non-locking means (eg locking receptacles) in the lid.
  • a latching mechanism in addition to its simple design, has the further advantage that it is also able to latch the condensate filter automatically in the lid when the condensate collecting container is inserted into the drawer of the dryer, if this has not already been done previously , The automatic latching is due to the fact that the condensate filter is pressed by the low gap height between the lid and the insertion compartment of the dryer in the lid.
