Definitions

  • the present application in particular is directed to a laundry dryer comprising a condensate tank, and a corresponding condensate tank.
  • a condensate tank adapted to collect condensate water generated during drying operations can easily be inspected by a user.
  • an LED device may be provided at a front face of the condensate tank, adapted to indicate a filling level, in particular at least one of several filling stages of the condensate tank, to a user.
  • this solution is comparatively complicated to implement.
  • a laundry dryer and corresponding condensate tank which removes the inconveniences of the state of technology.
  • a laundry dryer and condensate tank shall be provided which are adapted to enable a user to easily and comparatively quickly assess the filling level of the condensate tank.
  • a laundry dryer is provided.
  • the laundry dryer i.e. tumble dryer, is adapted to dry laundry accommodated in a drying drum, by passing through comparatively dry air, i.e. process air, through the drying drum or drying chamber.
  • process air is guided through a condenser in which humidity removed from laundry and absorbed by the process air is removed from the process air.
  • the condensate liquid i.e water, is guided, in particular pumped, in a corresponding condensate tank.
  • a corresponding condensate tank is part of the laundry dryer as proposed by claim 1.
  • the condensate tank has an inner volume adapted to receive condensate fluid, in particular condensate water, generated during laundry drying operations, in particular as described in more detail beforehand.
  • the inner volume of the condenser tank is restricted, in particular by constructional issues and available installation space within the housing of the laundry dryer, for example. Therefore it is desirable for a user to easily access and assess the filling level of the condensate tank in order to timely and at comparatively early stages empty the condensate tank to avoid situations in which operation of the laundry dryer, in particular during a drying cycle, is interrupted or halted.
  • the laundry dryer comprises a lighting unit adapted to illuminate the inner volume of the condensate tank. Illuminating the overall inner volume of the condensate tank may help to more clearly recognize the actual filling level of the condensate tank, in particular from the outside.
  • illuminating the inner volume of the condensate tank may be effective in visualizing the actual filling level at a respective transparent and/or translucent front section or wall of the condensate tank. Illuminating the inner volume in particular may increase a contrast of filled volume vis-à-vis an empty volume of the condensate tank.
  • the section of the front wall of the condensate tank being provided with transparent and/or translucent properties may be part of a front plate or front cover, in particular be part of or constitute a section of a front control panel of the laundry dryer.
  • the condensate tank is removably accommodated within a corresponding receiving housing or housing of the laundry dryer housing.
  • the condensate tank is implemented as a drawer type tank, adapted to be drawn in and out of the receiving housing in a horizontal motion.

Further, illumination of the inner volume in particular shall mean that light immediately is coupled into the inner volume of the condensate tank where it spreads, for example via multiple reflections and/or deflections, across at least a section of the condenser tank, in particular a section or volume of the condenser tank visible from the outside.
  • the light preferably is coupled into the condensate tank at locations or sections that are filled with condensate liquid, in particular condensate water, in early stages of operational cycles of the laundry dryer, such that the advantageous effect of highlighting the condensate liquid level and respective filling level is obtained already in early stages of filling the condensate tank.
  • light is coupled into the inner volume at and/or near a bottom wall of the condensate tank.
  • the lighting unit comprises at least one light source.
  • the at least one light source preferably is positioned outside the condensate tank.

  • the at least one light source is positioned and adapted to directly couple light into the inner volume via at least one transparent window provided in the condensate tank wall.
  • illumination of the inner volume may be conducted through transparent and/or translucent plastic walls of the condensate tank, for example.

  • the transparent window comprises a lens adapted to spread light impinging thereon into the inner volume of the condensate tank.
  • a lens is one of a preferred optical element that can be used in connection with the transparent window.
  • other optical elements such as prisms and the like, may be used in connection with the transparent window.
  • the optical elements preferably are selected to at least one of enhance coupling of light into the inner volume and spread light coupled into the condensate tank over at least a section of the inner volume, preferably in a direction, i.e. main direction, towards the transparent and/or translucent section of the front wall or plate of the condensate tank.
  • the at least one light source and/or transparent window is provided at or near at least one of a bottom wall and side wall of the condensate tank or receiving housing adapted to removably accommodate the condensate tank.

  • a respective light source and transparent window are mutually aligned, i.e. overlaid, in particular placed above each other.
  • Mutual alignment, in particular the overlay preferably is such that a maximum of light, in particular essentially all light emitted from the light source, can be coupled via the transparent window into the respective inner volume of the condensate tank.
  • At least one light source of the lighting unit is integrated in a supporting wall of a receiving housing adapted to removably accommodate the condensate tank.
  • the supporting wall may be at least one of a bottom and side wall of the receiving housing.
  • Providing the light source in a respective supporting wall may be advantageous for avoiding wiring at and/or on the removable condensate tank. Hence handling of the condensate tank can be simplified.
  • the light source i.e. at least one light source, of the lighting unit
  • optical elements adapted to optimally couple light of the light sources into the condensate tank may be provided at or on the supporting wall.
  • the transparent window or windows mutually aligned with the at least one light source in the inserted state of the condensate tank, may comprise optical elements for optimally coupling light of the at least one light source into the condensate tank such that the filling level of condensate liquid can be readily recognized from outside the condensate tank.
  • respective pairs of elements shall be aligned and positioned such that in the inserted state of the condensate tank, in particular a the state in which the condensate tank is inserted or drawn into the receiving housing, mutually match to obtain optimal influx of light into the condensate tank.

  • Such an inspection window preferably is made from a sufficiently transparent and/or translucent material, such as glass and/or a corresponding plastic material.

  • the at least one LED may be at least one of a white and/or colored LED.
  • Colored LED's may be advantageous in better contrasting the filling level, i.e. condenser liquid contained within the condensate tank, in particular from the condensate tank housing. Further, color effects may be used in dependence of an actual filling level, which for example shall mean that for and with low filling levels a moderate color can be used, wherein at or with comparatively high filling levels, a signal color can be used.
  • a bottom LED adapted to couple light into the condensate tank at a bottom section thereof may emit a moderate color
  • an LED provided at a higher level i.e. emitting light into the condensate tank at a higher filling level

In particular, it is conceivable that for different locations of the light sources 12, different colors for the light sources 12 are used. With adequate arrangements and positions of the light sources 12 the condensate tank 3 thus can be illuminated in layers of different color, for example, respectively indicating a certain filling level of the condensate tank 3.

  • Fig. 12 shows a top and front view of the receiving housing 5 in accordance with Fig. 7 .
  • the transparent window 14 is arranged at and near the front section, i.e. a section close to the front plate 6 of the condensate tank 3 in the inserted state.
  • Light emanating from light source 12 penetrates the transparent window 14 and spreads thereafter in favored or desired directions, which, by the way, may be defined by optical properties of the transparent window 14.
  • Light spreading in this way can enter the condensate tank 3, may it be through a transparent opening or a transparent or translucent wall, and penetrate into the liquid being present in the condensate tank 3.
  • Fig. 13 shows a situation devoid of illuminating the inner volume of the condensate tank 3. No light rays or beams hit the inner volume and condensate liquid 17 collected within the condensate tank 3. Hence, the filling level of the condensate liquid 17 within the condensate tank 3 is not highlighted and contrasted for better recognizability. Hence, it is difficult for a user to observe the filling level 18 of the condensate tank 3, which situation is schematically indicated in Fig. 14 by a weak condensate level line.
  • Fig. 15 shows a situation in which the inner volume, in particular condensate liquid 17, is illuminated by the light source 12, in that the light source 12 emits light towards and into the inner volume of the condensate tank 3.
  • the light coupled into the inner volume of the condensate tank 3, in particular condensate liquid 17, is reflected, in particular at the condensate-to-air surface, and within the condensate liquid 17 and thereby spreads within the condensate liquid 17.
  • the condensate liquid 17 as such, in any case the filling level 18 of the condensate liquid within the condensate tank 3, is highlighted and better contrasted as compared to the situation without illumination as depicted in Fig. 13 and fig. 14 ..
  • the condensate liquid 17 and therefore the filling level 18, in particular a border between filled and empty space, can be clearly and easily recognized in and by the inspection window 14, which is indicated in Fig. 16 in which the condensate liquid 17 within the condensate tank 3 and therefore also the filling level is clearly visible from the outside.
  • Fig. 17 to 21 respectively show situations essentially corresponding to those of Fig. 12 to 16 , with the difference, that the light source 12 is positioned at the vertical side wall 15.
  • the filling level of the condensate liquid 17 within the condensate tank 3 can be readily seen, in particular recognized and highlighted, in utilizing the light source 12 for illumination.
  • the user will timely recognize inadequate high filling levels and can empty the condensate tank 3 in time and at adequate intervals.
