Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tumble dryer with a floor module (1), which includes a condensation device (2) and a pump (3) for conveying the accumulated condensate, wherein the pump (3) is supported by a mounting frame (10), the one from has its level elevational circumferential edge approach (13).
  • the floor module has a condensate collection housing with an opening for a pump device.
  • the pump device is supported by a support body or mounting frame, which rests on the opening edge.
  • the mounting frame is connected via a hinge with a cover, which covers the pump device and secured by a screw connection and a latching connection to the floor module.
  • the mounting frame does not seal the opening of the condensate collection housing.
  • the DE 89 12 184 U1 shows a condensate pump device for a tumble dryer in which the pump is supported by a cover for the condensate collection tank. This cover has a projecting into the condensate tank peripheral edge approach.
  • the invention thus raises the problem of simplifying the installation of the condensate feed pump in a tumble dryer of the type mentioned and still ensure a tight fit of the pump.
  • the mounting frame has a rising from its plane circumferential edge approach, which has in its end an excess over the opening.
  • the marginal approach ensures that the mounting frame with a press fit into the opening can be inserted and therefore this hermetically seals without further elastomer seal.
  • edge extension extends upwards in the operating state of the tumble dryer. It is also useful if the mounting frame is made with the edge approach as a one-piece injection molded part made of plastic. A simple installation and at the same time good sealing results when the edge approach is resilient due to its material thickness. At the edge approach, an outwardly projecting rib may be formed, preferably with triangular cross-section. As a result, dimensional tolerances are compensated.
  • the mounting frame and the opening in the bottom module are round or elliptical. As a result, straight lines are avoided in which the edge approach can tilt inwards. In an elliptical embodiment, it is particularly advantageous if the excess of the marginal projection on the elliptical side with the larger radius is greater. In order to ensure a secure fit of the pump even when vibrations occur, it is advantageous if the mounting frame is held by a latching device in the opening. In addition, a stop limit the insertion depth of the mounting frame in the opening.
  • FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a floor module 1 of an otherwise not shown tumble dryer, here a heat pump dryer.
  • the module 1 includes, inter alia, a heat exchanger 2, is cooled in the hot moist air from the laundry drum, not shown here and thereby dehumidified by condensation.

It can be seen that the insertion depth of the mounting frame 10 is limited by the stops 7, see in particular the Figures 9 and 10 , These figures also show that the mounting frame 10 and thus the entire pump 3 is held in this position by the latching hooks 6.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wäschetrockner mit einem Bodenmodul (1), welches eine Kondensationseinrichtung (2) und eine Pumpe (3) zum Fördern des angefallenen Kondensats beinhaltet, wobei die Pumpe (3) von einem Einbaurahmen (10) getragen wird, der einen sich aus seiner Ebene erhebenden umlaufenden Randansatz (13) aufweist.The invention relates to a tumble dryer with a floor module (1), which includes a condensation device (2) and a pump (3) for conveying the accumulated condensate, wherein the pump (3) is supported by a mounting frame (10), the one from has its level elevational circumferential edge approach (13).

Ein solcher Wäschetrockner ist aus der EP 2 620 541 A1 bekannt. Das Bodenmodul weist ein Kondensatsammelgehäuse mit einer Öffnung für eine Pumpeneinrichtung auf. Die Pumpeneinrichtung wird von einem Tragkörper bzw. Einbaurahmen getragen, der auf dem Öffnungsrand aufliegt. Der Einbaurahmen ist über ein Scharnier mit einer Abdeckung verbunden, die die Pumpeneinrichtung abdeckt und über eine Schraubverbindung sowie eine Rastverbindung am Bodenmodul befestigt. Der Einbaurahmen schließt die Öffnung des Kondensatsammelgehäuses nicht dichtend ab.Such a tumble dryer is from the EP 2 620 541 A1 known. The floor module has a condensate collection housing with an opening for a pump device. The pump device is supported by a support body or mounting frame, which rests on the opening edge. The mounting frame is connected via a hinge with a cover, which covers the pump device and secured by a screw connection and a latching connection to the floor module. The mounting frame does not seal the opening of the condensate collection housing.

Die DE 89 12 184 U1 zeigt eine Kondensatpumpeneinrichtung für einen Wäschetrockner bei dem die Pumpe von einem Deckel für den Kondensatsammelbehälter getragen wird. Dieser Deckel weist einen in den Kondensatsammelbehälter ragenden umlaufenden Randansatz auf.The DE 89 12 184 U1 shows a condensate pump device for a tumble dryer in which the pump is supported by a cover for the condensate collection tank. This cover has a projecting into the condensate tank peripheral edge approach.

Außerdem ist ein von der Anmelderin als T 8866 WP hergestellter und vertriebener Wäschetrockner bekannt. Die Abdichtung des Einbaurahmens gegenüber der Öffnungswand im Bodenmodul erfolgt bei diesem Trockner mittels einer Polyurethan-Raupe, die vor dem Einbau der Pumpe auf den Rand des Einbaurahmens aufgetragen wird. Solche Dichtungen erhöhen den Montageaufwand und sind nicht immer prozesssicher.In addition, a dryer manufactured and sold by the applicant as T 8866 WP is known. The sealing of the mounting frame relative to the opening wall in the floor module takes place in this dryer by means of a polyurethane bead, which is applied to the edge of the mounting frame before installation of the pump. Such seals increase the assembly effort and are not always reliable.

Der Erfindung stellt sich somit das Problem, bei einem Wäschetrockner der eingangs genannten Art die Montage der Kondensat-Förderpumpe zu vereinfachen und trotzdem einen dichten Sitz der Pumpe zu gewährleisten.The invention thus raises the problem of simplifying the installation of the condensate feed pump in a tumble dryer of the type mentioned and still ensure a tight fit of the pump.

Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses Problem durch einen Wäschetrockner mit den Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen und Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den nachfolgenden Unteransprüchen.According to the invention this problem is solved by a tumble dryer with the features of claim 1. Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention will become apparent from the following subclaims.

Die mit der Erfindung erreichbaren Vorteile ergeben sich dadurch, dass der Einbaurahmen einen sich aus seiner Ebene erhebenden umlaufenden Randansatz aufweist, welcher in seinem Endbereich ein Übermaß gegenüber der Öffnung aufweist. Der Randansatz gewährleistet, dass der Einbaurahmen mit Presssitz in die Öffnung einschiebbar ist und deshalb diese ohne weitere Elastomerdichtung luftdicht abschließt.The achievable with the invention advantages result from the fact that the mounting frame has a rising from its plane circumferential edge approach, which has in its end an excess over the opening. The marginal approach ensures that the mounting frame with a press fit into the opening can be inserted and therefore this hermetically seals without further elastomer seal.

Zum einfachen Einbau ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Randansatz sich im Betriebszustand des Wäschetrockners nach oben erstreckt. Es ist außerdem zweckmäßig, wenn der Einbaurahmen mit dem Randansatz als einstückiges Spritzgussteil aus Kunststoff gefertigt ist. Eine einfache Montage und gleichzeitig gute Abdichtung ergibt sich, wenn der Randansatz aufgrund seiner Materialstärke federnd ausgebildet ist. An den Randansatz kann eine nach außen ragende Rippe angeformt sein, vorzugsweise mit dreieckigem Querschnitt. Hierdurch werden maßliche Toleranzen ausgeglichen.For easy installation, it is advantageous if the edge extension extends upwards in the operating state of the tumble dryer. It is also useful if the mounting frame is made with the edge approach as a one-piece injection molded part made of plastic. A simple installation and at the same time good sealing results when the edge approach is resilient due to its material thickness. At the edge approach, an outwardly projecting rib may be formed, preferably with triangular cross-section. As a result, dimensional tolerances are compensated.

Es ist auch vorteilhaft, wenn der Einbaurahmen und die Öffnung im Bodenmodul rund oder elliptisch ausgebildet sind. Hierdurch werden Geraden vermieden, in denen der Randansatz nach innen kippen kann. Bei einer elliptischen Ausführungsform ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Übermaß des Randansatzes auf den Ellipsenseiten mit dem größeren Radius größer ist. Um einen sicheren Sitz der Pumpe auch bei auftretenden Schwingungen zu gewährleisten, ist es vorteilhaft, wenn der Einbaurahmen durch eine Rasteinrichtung in der Öffnung gehalten ist. Außerdem kann ein Anschlag die Einschubtiefe des Einbaurahmens in die Öffnung begrenzen.It is also advantageous if the mounting frame and the opening in the bottom module are round or elliptical. As a result, straight lines are avoided in which the edge approach can tilt inwards. In an elliptical embodiment, it is particularly advantageous if the excess of the marginal projection on the elliptical side with the larger radius is greater. In order to ensure a secure fit of the pump even when vibrations occur, it is advantageous if the mounting frame is held by a latching device in the opening. In addition, a stop limit the insertion depth of the mounting frame in the opening.

Figur 1 zeigt eine Gesamtansicht eines Bodenmoduls 1 eines ansonsten nicht näher dargestellten Wäschetrockners, hier eines Wärmepumpentrockners. Das Modul 1 beinhaltet unter anderem einen Wärmetauscher 2, in dem heiße feuchte Luft aus der hier nicht dargestellten Wäschetrommel abgekühlt und dabei durch Kondensation entfeuchtet wird. Das Kondensat läuft in den unteren Bereich des Bodenmoduls 1 und wird von dort mittels einer Kondensat-Förderpumpe 3 über einen Schlauch 4 in einen nicht dargestellten KondensatSammelbehälter gefördert. FIG. 1 shows an overall view of a floor module 1 of an otherwise not shown tumble dryer, here a heat pump dryer. The module 1 includes, inter alia, a heat exchanger 2, is cooled in the hot moist air from the laundry drum, not shown here and thereby dehumidified by condensation. The condensate runs in the lower region of the floor module 1 and is conveyed from there by means of a condensate feed pump 3 via a hose 4 into a condensate collecting tank, not shown.

Figur 2 zeigt eine Draufsicht auf einen Teilbereich des Bodenmoduls 1 bei entfernter Kondensat-Förderpumpe 3. Es ist eine elliptische Öffnung 5 erkennbar, in die die Pumpe 3 eingesetzt wird. Außerdem sind in der Figur zwei Rasthaken 6 und drei Anschläge 7 erkennbar, deren Funktion später erläutert wird. FIG. 2 shows a plan view of a portion of the floor module 1 with removed condensate feed pump 3. It is an elliptical opening 5 can be seen, in which the pump 3 is used. In addition, two latching hooks 6 and three stops 7 can be seen in the figure, whose function will be explained later.

In den Figuren 3 bis 7 sind ein Teil des Bodenmoduls 1 und die Pumpe 2 kurz vor ihrem Einsetzen in die Öffnung 5 dargestellt. In der Draufsicht (Figur 3) ist der Pumpenmotor 8 und der Auslassstutzen 9 der Pumpe 3 erkennbar. Die Pumpe 3 ist auf einem elliptischen Einbaurahmen 10 befestigt, der die Pumpe 3 im Bereich der Antriebswelle (nicht dargestellt) zwischen Motor 8 und Pumpenlaufrad 11 hält, siehe insbesondere Figuren 4 und 6. Der Einbaurahmen 10 umfasst eine plane Fläche 12, die sich im gezeigten Einbauzustand der Pumpe 3, der dem Betriebszustand des Wäschetrockners entspricht, waagerecht erstreckt. Die plane Fläche 12 ist von einem umlaufenden Randansatz 13 umgeben, der sich aus der Ebene des planen Teils 12 heraus nach oben erstreckt. Fläche 12 und Randansatz 13 sind einstückig in einem Spritzgießverfahren aus Polypropylen hergestellt. Aufgrund des Materials und der relativ dünnen Ausbildung des Randansatzes 13 besitzt dieser eine gewisse Federeigenschaft. Außerdem ist insbesondere aus den Detailansichten 5 und 7 erkennbar, dass der Randansatz 13 in seinem Verlauf nach außen zum Rand 14 der Öffnung 5 geneigt ist und dadurch in seinem Endbereich 15 ein Übermaß gegenüber der Öffnung 5 aufweist. Hierdurch ergibt sich beim Einsetzen der Pumpe 3 in die Öffnung 5 eine Presspassung zwischen der Öffnung 5 und dem Randansatz 13, so dass ein flüssigkeitsdichter Sitz erzielt wird. Ein Vergleich der Figuren 5 und 7 zeigt, dass die Neigung des Randansatzes 13 auf den Ellipsenseiten 16 und 17 mit dem größeren Radius stärker ist. Da die Elastizität des Randansatzes 13 auf diesen Seiten 16 und 17 größer ist, wird durch die größere Neigung in diesem Bereich umlaufend eine gleichmäßige Dichtkraft erreicht.In the FIGS. 3 to 7 a part of the floor module 1 and the pump 2 are shown shortly before their insertion into the opening 5. In the plan view ( FIG. 3 ), the pump motor 8 and the outlet 9 of the pump 3 can be seen. The pump 3 is mounted on an elliptical mounting frame 10 which holds the pump 3 in the region of the drive shaft (not shown) between the motor 8 and pump impeller 11, see in particular FIGS. 4 and 6 , The mounting frame 10 includes a flat surface 12 which extends horizontally in the installed state of the pump 3, which corresponds to the operating state of the tumble dryer. The planar surface 12 is surrounded by a peripheral edge projection 13, which extends from the plane of the planar part 12 upwards. Surface 12 and edge projection 13 are made in one piece in an injection molding of polypropylene. Due to the material and the relatively thin formation of the edge approach 13 this has a certain spring property. In addition, it can be seen in particular from the detail views 5 and 7 that the edge projection 13 is inclined in its course outwards to the edge 14 of the opening 5 and thereby has an excess in its end region 15 with respect to the opening 5. This results in the insertion of the pump 3 in the opening 5, a press fit between the opening 5 and the edge extension 13, so that a liquid-tight fit is achieved. A comparison of Figures 5 and 7 shows that the inclination of the marginal projection 13 on the elliptical sides 16 and 17 with the larger radius is stronger. Since the elasticity of the marginal projection 13 on these pages 16 and 17 is greater, a uniform sealing force is achieved by the greater inclination in this area circumferentially.

Die Figuren 8 bis 12 zeigen die Pumpe 3 im montierten Zustand in diesem Sitz. Es ist erkennbar, dass die Einschubtiefe des Einbaurahmens 10 durch die Anschläge 7 begrenzt ist, siehe insbesondere die Figuren 9 und 10. Diese Figuren zeigen auch, dass der Einbaurahmen 10 und damit die gesamte Pumpe 3 in dieser Position durch die Rasthaken 6 gehalten wird.The FIGS. 8 to 12 show the pump 3 in the assembled state in this seat. It can be seen that the insertion depth of the mounting frame 10 is limited by the stops 7, see in particular the Figures 9 and 10 , These figures also show that the mounting frame 10 and thus the entire pump 3 is held in this position by the latching hooks 6.
