Definitions
- the invention relates to a laundry treatment appliance, in particular a laundry drying appliance having at least one lint filter.
- WO 2010/028992 A1 discloses a dryer comprising a drying chamber for receiving a moist material and a process air duct for supplying process air into the drying chamber and for discharging process air from the drying chamber, which process air duct a heat source for heating the process air before it enters in the drying chamber and a heat sink for cooling the process air after it exits the drying chamber, and arranged between the drying chamber and the heat sink first lint filter for collecting lint from the process air, which is associated with a first cleaning device.
- This first cleaning device has a collector for a liquid, a first flushing line connected to the collector, a first control element located in this first flushing line and a first distributor connected to the first flushing line for distributing liquid conveyed through the first flushing line to the first lint filter and to Picking up intercepted lint from the first lint filter, comprising a first drain for discharging the liquid with the collected lint from the first lint filter to the collector.
- Liquid rinsed from the first lint filter is passed into a removable filter chamber or into a removable filter bag. The filter chamber or filter bag can be removed for cleaning or disposal of the lint contained therein.
- a user must periodically empty and clean or replace the filter chamber or filter bag to ensure proper operation of the dryer.
- the user can automatically check the filling with lint and / or comply typically written down in a manual emptying intervals.
- such an emptying is comparatively defective, so that overflowing of the filter chamber or of the filter bag can occur, in particular if the dryer is used frequently.
- Another possibility is to automatically detect a filling and output a hint to the user from a predetermined degree of filling.
- such a design is costly. It is the object of the present invention to at least partially avoid the disadvantages of the prior art and, in particular, to provide an inexpensive and secure possibility of clearing lint, etc.
- a laundry treatment appliance comprising a lint filter, wherein the lint filter represents a life-time lint.
- a life-time lint can, in particular, be understood to be a depot for lint, which is intended to hold or store the lint and other foreign particles (hair, etc.) deposited in it over the service life of the laundry treatment appliance. The service life depot is therefore not intended to be emptied regularly.
- the use of the life-time lint storage has the advantage that an end-user no longer has to carry out operations for emptying the lint.
- the lint filter which is the life-time lint depot or provided or designed as such, can also be considered as a life-time lint depot having a filter function.
- the life-time lint can then have at least one filter area.
- the lint filter for a device technician is accessible, for example, to be able to empty it at least partially from the lint, etc., in the unlikely event of overfilling.
- the laundry treating appliance is not intended or set up so that the life cycle Flusendepot an end user without further measures (use of tools, etc.) is accessible. It can therefore also be a development that the life-Flusendepot is not accessible without tools.
- the lint filter or the life-time lint depot has a take-up volume of at least approximately four liters, in particular of at least approximately five liters. It has been found that this receiving volume is usually sufficient to absorb the lint, hair and other foreign particles retained by the lint filter during a typical service life of a laundry treatment appliance, in particular laundry drying apparatus, and to ensure normal operation.
- the lint filter is housed in a bottom group of the laundry treatment appliance.
- the lint filter can be stowed particularly effectively, without obstructing other functional elements.
- liquid in particular condensate
- the fluffy (cleaning) liquid then enters the lint filter.
- Liquid filtered through the lint filter may continue to drain, e.g. to a pump.
- the pump may, for example, pump the purified liquid into a sump or rinse tank, the contents of which may in turn be used to rinse or clean the heat exchanger, such as e.g. basically disclosed in WO 2010/028992 A1.
- the lint filter may also be filled with condensed liquid (condensate) dripping from the heat exchanger during a normal drying operation.
- the lint filter is housed below the cleanable heat exchanger.
- no dedicated fluid channel needs to be provided from the heat exchanger to the lint filter, but the liquid may drip directly from the heat exchanger into the lint filter.
- from the lint filter cleaning fluid of a process air lint filter is receivable.
- the process air lint filter can be arranged in a process air duct of a laundry dryer and can retain a large part of the lint delivered by the laundry, etc., and these lint can be cleaned off.
- the lint filter has a height which is two and a half times, in particular at least five times, in particular at least seven times, less than a width of the lint filter. Due to this flat design, a place in the laundry treatment appliance is particularly easy to exploit.
- a lint filter may be advantageous, the height of which is at least five times, in particular at least seven times, less than a width of the lint filter.
- the lint filter preferably has a height which is only two and a half times less than a width of the lint filter.
- the lint filter is at least partially antimicrobial designed. Thereby, a possible decomposition of the lint and a smell associated therewith can be suppressed.
- the lint filter at least partially has a surface with copper, silver and / or bronze. This is particularly durable and effective antimicrobial effective.
- the laundry treating appliance is a laundry drying apparatus (clothes dryer or washer-dryer, etc.), particularly a laundry drying apparatus equipped with a heat pump.
- the lint filter may comprise a filter fabric (eg, a nonwoven) and / or a rigid filter material (eg, perforated or perforated metal, etc.).
- the lint filter can also be a sieve.
- the invention will be described schematically with reference to an embodiment schematically. In this case, the same or equivalent elements may be provided with the same reference numerals for clarity.
- the figure shows a sectional side view of a laundry treatment device in the form of a heat pump tumble dryer 1.
- the heat pump tumble dryer 1 has a rotatable laundry drum 2, in which to be dried laundry (o.Fig.) Can be accommodated for drying.
- the laundry is overflowed or flowed through by warm process air, which emerges from the laundry drum 2 as a moist-warm process air L and is guided through a process air lint filter 3 to a condensation unit in the form of a heat exchanger.
- the heat exchanger is designed here as an evaporator 4 of a heat pump. During a passage of the moist-warm process air L through the evaporator 4, this condenses out and drips as condensate K from the evaporator 4 into a lint filter 5 arranged therebelow.
- the lint filter 5 is mounted in or even below a floor assembly.
- the now drier process air L is further to a heater, such as a condenser of a heat pump, out (o.Fig.) And passed from there back into the laundry drum 2.
- the laundry to be dried during a drying process except water and fluff, hair, etc. F from which are carried by the process air L. Much of the fluff F, etc. is retained by the process air lint filter 3, thereby increasing its flow resistance. A smaller proportion of the lint F, in particular a finer proportion, reaches the evaporator 4 and settles on its surface. As a result, an efficiency of the evaporator 4 can be lowered.
- the existing in the lint filter 5 condensate K passes through the lint filter 5 leaving the lint, etc. F through and can continue to a pump (o.Abb.) Flow, which pump the largely lint-free condensate K to a drain or back into the sump can.
- the lint filter 5 is designed or provided as a life lint depot, i.e., lint, etc., stored or retained by it, or deposited therein, etc. for the life of the heat pump tumble drier 1. Thus, the lint filter 5 need not be removed and cleaned or replaced. Also, no sensor is needed to detect a full lint filter 5.
- the lint filter 5 may, for example, be configured as a rigid filter or as a sieve, e.g. in the form of a perforated metal or plastic sheet.
- the lint filter 5 may alternatively comprise a filter fabric (nonwoven, etc.) held by a rigid support.
- the lint filter 5 has a rigid trough 5 a, in the bottom and possibly in the side walls of which several holes 5 b are introduced, through which the condensate K can flow.
- the tub 5a may be lined on its inside or top with a filter cloth.
- the holes 5b serve then not a retention of the lint F, but in particular a good passage for the purified condensate K (as indicated by the drops) with an otherwise good support effect for the filter fabric.
- the holes 5b may be sized so that the tub 5a as such exhibits the desired filtering action.
- the lint filter 5 has a receiving volume of at least about four to five liters, preferably from five to seven liters. It has surprisingly been found that such a volume is sufficient in the vast majority of cases for trouble-free operation over the entire service life. It has been found that the lint, etc. F compact considerably by the repeated moistening with the condensate K and yet not significantly affect the filter function of the lint filter 5, in particular its permeability to the condensate K.
- the lint filter 5 preferably has one low height, in particular a height which is at least five times, in particular at least seven times, smaller than a width of the lint filter. 5
- the lint filter 5 has a height h in a range of about 15 mm to about 20 mm.
- the lint filter 5 is designed antimicrobially at least in some areas, especially on its inner wall contacting the fins, etc.
- the antimicrobial embodiment may be, for example, an antimicrobial coating, in particular comprising copper, silver and / or bronze.
- the laundry drying apparatus may in particular be a tumble dryer or a washer-dryer.
