Description

WÄSCHETROCKNER  DRIER
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wäschetrockner mit einem Gehäuse, einer in dem Ge- häuse drehbar angetriebenen Trommel zum Bewegen der Wäsche, einer vorzugsweise einen Brenner umfassenden Einrichtung zum Erzeugen von Wärme und einer zur Steuerung dienenden Elektronik, wobei das Gehäuse eine Belade-/Ent- ladetür aufweist. Der hier in Rede stehende Wäschetrockner gehört zu den Wäschereimaschinen, wie sie regelmäßig von gewerblichen Wäschereien eingesetzt werden. Zuverlässigkeit, geringer Wartungsaufwand und das Einsparen von Energie stehen im Vordergrund. Mit Wäschetrocknern der hier in Rede stehenden Art sollen Textilien unterschiedlicher Textiltypen schonen, effizient und mit reproduzierbarem Ergebnis getrocknet werden. Trocknungsprogramme lassen sich auf ganz besondere Anforderungen abstimmen. Wäschetrockner der hier in Rede stehenden Art, insbesondere zur gewerblichen Anwendung, sind in den unterschiedlichsten Ausführungsformen aus der Praxis bekannt. Sie haben regelmäßig den Nachteil, dass sie im konstruktiven Aufbau äußerst zerklüftet ausgeführt sind. Oberflächen sind regelmäßig technisch bedingt und aufgrund der technisch bedingten Strukturen nur schwer zu reinigen. Dies wird in der Praxis bereits nach kurzem Gebrauch zu einem unansehnlichen Erscheinungsbild. Außerdem strahlen die bekannten Trockner insbesondere im Bereich der Belade-/Entladetür enorme Wärme ab. Dies bedeutet nicht nur eine ganz erhebliche Energieverschwendung sondern auch ein unangenehmes Arbeitsklima im Bereich solcher Trockner. Hinzukommt eine ganz erhebliche Schallabstrahlung solcher Trockner, die das Arbeitsumfeld belastet. The invention relates to a tumble dryer with a housing, a drum rotatably driven in the housing for moving the laundry, a device preferably comprising a burner for generating heat and an electronic control unit, the housing being a loading / unloading door having. The tumble dryer in question is one of the laundry machines, as they are used regularly by commercial laundries. Reliability, low maintenance and energy saving are in the foreground. With dryers of the type in question textiles of different textile types should be preserved, dried efficiently and with reproducible results. Drying programs can be tailored to very specific requirements. Dryers of the type in question, in particular for commercial use, are known in practice in a wide variety of embodiments. They regularly have the disadvantage that they are executed in the structural design extremely rugged. Surfaces are regularly technically conditioned and due to the technical structures difficult to clean. This becomes an unsightly appearance in practice even after a short usage. In addition, the known dryers emit enormous heat, especially in the area of the loading / unloading door. This not only means a very considerable waste of energy but also an unpleasant working environment in the area of such dryers. Added to this is a very considerable sound radiation of such dryers, which pollutes the working environment.
Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Wäschetrockner der gattungsbildenden Art, insbesondere zur gewerblichen Anwendung, derart auszugestalten und weiterzubilden, dass er sich, insbesondere an seiner Oberfläche, einfach reinigen lässt. Außerdem soll er möglichst wenig Wärme und Schall emittieren. The present invention is therefore based on the object, a tumble dryer of the generic type, in particular for commercial application, to design and further develop that he, especially on his Surface, easy to clean. He should also emit as little heat and sound.
Die voranstehende Aufgabe ist durch einen Wäschetrockner gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst. Danach ist der gattungsbildende Wäschetrockner dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass das Gehäuse derart mit einer Verkleidung ausgestattet ist, dass es allseitig eine im Wesentlichen ebene, vorzugsweise glatte Außenhaut bildet. The above object is achieved by a clothes dryer according to claim 1. Thereafter, the generic type tumble dryer is characterized in that the housing is provided with a lining such that it forms a substantially flat, preferably smooth outer skin on all sides.
Erfindungsgemäß ist erkannt worden, dass man den Wäschetrockner mit einem besonderen Gehäuse ausstattet, nämlich mit einer allseitigen Verkleidung, dergestalt, dass das Gehäuse bzw. die Verkleidung eine im Wesentlichen ebene, vorzugsweise glatte Außenhaut bildet, und zwar auf allen Seiten des Trockners. Mit anderen Worten ist der - gewerbliche - Trockner mit einer Außenhaut umgeben, so dass es äußerst einfach ist, den Wäschetrockner von der Außenseite her zu reinigen bzw. im tagtäglichen Betrieb ansehnlich sauber zu halten. According to the invention it has been recognized that equipping the dryer with a special housing, namely with an all-round panel, such that the housing or the lining forms a substantially flat, preferably smooth outer skin, on all sides of the dryer. In other words, the - commercial - dryer is surrounded with an outer skin, so that it is extremely easy to clean the clothes dryer from the outside or to keep considerable clean in daily operations.
In ganz besonders vorteilhafter Weise erstreckt sich die Verkleidung des Gehäuses vom Bodenbereich bis hoch zur Oberkante der Maschine. Dies bedeutet, dass der Wäschetrockner insgesamt verkleidet ist, nämlich von der tiefsten Stelle am Boden bis zur oberen Kante der maschinenbaulichen Teile oder zumindest geringfügig darüber hinaus. Durch diese Maßnahme ist nicht nur eine quasi homogene Außenhaut des Wäschetrockners geschaffen, vielmehr auch die Voraussetzung für eine thermische und/oder schalltechnische Kapselung der wärme- und/oder schallemittierenden Bereiche des Trockners. In a particularly advantageous manner, the casing of the housing extends from the bottom area up to the upper edge of the machine. This means that the tumble dryer is disguised as a whole, namely from the lowest point on the ground to the upper edge of the mechanical parts or at least slightly beyond. By this measure, not only a quasi-homogeneous outer skin of the tumble dryer is created, but also the prerequisite for a thermal and / or sound insulation of the heat and / or sound emitting areas of the dryer.
In ganz besonders vorteilhafter Weise ist das Gehäuse und/oder die Verkleidung des Gehäuses aus schallabsorbierendem und ggf. wärmeisolierendem Material hergestellt. Ebenso ist es denkbar, dass die Innenseite der Verkleidung bzw. des Gehäuses mit schallabsorbierendem und/oder wärmeisolierendem Material ausge- kleidet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme lässt sich die Wärme- und Schallabstrahlung zur Seite und nach schräg unten ganz erheblich reduzieren. In a particularly advantageous manner, the housing and / or the lining of the housing made of sound-absorbing and possibly heat-insulating material. It is also conceivable that the inside of the panel or the housing is lined with sound-absorbing and / or heat-insulating material. By this measure, the heat and sound radiation can be reduced to the side and obliquely down significantly.
Beliebige schallabsorbierende Materialien können zur Innenauskleidung verwendet werden. So lasse sich beispielsweise Aluschaum-Paneelen verwenden. Zur Begünstigung einer einfachen Handhabung beim Beladen und Entladen ist es von Vorteil, wenn auf der Vorderseite des Wäschetrockners eine Beladetür und auf der Rückseite eine Entladetür vorgesehen bzw. ausgebildet sind. Zur einfachen Handhabung und zur Reduktion des erforderlichen Raumes können die Türen als Schiebetüren - regelmäßig vertikal bewegbar - ausgeführt sein. Any sound-absorbing materials can be used for the interior lining. For example, aluminum foam panels can be used. To facilitate easy handling during loading and unloading, it is advantageous if provided on the front of the dryer a loading door and on the back of a discharge door or are formed. For easy handling and to reduce the required space, the doors can be designed as sliding doors - regularly vertically movable.
Zumindest die Beladetür kann mit einem Glasfenster ausgestattet sein, um nämlich den Wäschefall sichtbar zu machen, der u.a. für das Trocknungsergebnis verantwortlich ist. So wird beispielsweise angestrebt, dass sich die Wäsche bei „1 1.00 bis 12.00 Uhr", d.h. kurz vor der oberen Position innerhalb der Trommel, von der Trommel löst und innerhalb der Trommel nach unten fällt. Zum Trommelantrieb sei insoweit ausgeführt, dass ein frequenzgesteuerter Trommelantrieb von Vorteil ist. Ein Glasfenster ist regelmäßig in Bezug auf Wärme- und Schallschutz nachteilig. Dies wird in vorteilhafter Weise dadurch kompensiert, dass das Glasfenster der Beladetür eine wärme- und/oder schalldämmende Verglasung aufweist, vorzugsweise eine Doppelverglasung. Durch die Doppelverglasung der Fronttür (Beladetür) lässt sich die Wärmeabstrahlung und Schallemission ganz erheblich redu- zieren. At least the loading door can be equipped with a glass window, namely to make the laundry case visible, the u.a. responsible for the drying result. For example, it is desired that the laundry at "1 1:00 to 12:00 o'clock", ie shortly before the upper position within the drum, detaches from the drum and falls down within the drum This is advantageously compensated for by the fact that the glass window of the loading door has a heat-insulating and / or sound-insulating glazing, preferably double-glazing. Loading door), the heat radiation and noise emission can be considerably reduced.
Sofern bei dem Wäschetrockner zwei Öffnungen/Türen vorgesehen sind, nämlich frontseitig eine Beladetür und rückseitig eine Entladetür, ist es von weiterem Vorteil, wenn zum Entladen geeignete Maßnahmen vorgesehen sind. So ist es von ganz besonderem Vorteil, wenn zum rückseitigen Entladen das die Trommel umfassende Oberteil der Maschine insbesondere entlang einer umlaufenden Gehäusefuge, unterhalb der Trommel, um eine horizontale Kippachse nach hinten kippbar ist. Im Rahmen einer solchen Ausgestaltung lässt sich das obere Gehäuseteil gemeinsam mit der darin befindlichen Trommel horizontal nach hinten zur Entladetür hin kippen, so dass die getrocknete Wäsche regelrecht aus der Trommel herauskippbar ist. Das Kippen des Oberteils der Maschine kann pneumatisch betrieben werden. Grundsätzlich ist eine hydraulische Betätigung ebenfalls denkbar, wobei die Verwendung von Hydrauliköl im Wäschereibereich grundsätzlich als problematisch erachtet wird. Das Entladen der Maschine kann durch eine weitere Maßnahme begünstigt werden, nämlich dadurch, dass innerhalb der Maschine bzw. innerhalb der Trommel eine Luftströmung erzeugt wird, die zur Entladetür hin gerichtet ist. Durch diese Maßnahme lässt sich die getrocknete Wäsche regelrecht aus der Trommel heraus blasen. If two openings / doors are provided in the tumble dryer, namely a loading door at the front and a discharge door at the rear, it is of further advantage if suitable measures are provided for unloading. Thus, it is particularly advantageous if, for the rear unloading, the upper part of the machine comprising the drum, in particular along a circumferential housing groove, below the drum, can be tilted backwards about a horizontal tilting axis. In the context of such an embodiment, the upper housing part, together with the drum therein, can be tilted horizontally backwards towards the unloading door, so that the dried laundry can be tipped out of the drum. The tilting of the upper part of the machine can be pneumatically operated. Basically, a hydraulic actuation is also conceivable, the use of hydraulic oil in the laundry sector is generally considered problematic. The unloading of the machine can be promoted by a further measure, namely, that within the machine or within the drum, an air flow is generated, which is directed towards the discharge door. By this measure, the dried laundry can literally blow out of the drum.
Zum einfachen Abtransport der getrockneten Wäsche bietet es sich an, unmittelbar unterhalb der Entladetür ein Entladeband vorzusehen, auf das die Wäsche entladen und dort abtransportiert wird. For easy removal of the dried laundry, it is advisable to provide a discharge conveyor immediately below the unloading door, on which the laundry is unloaded and transported there.
Wie bereits zuvor ausgeführt, ist für die erfindungsgemäß von ganz besonderer Bedeutung, dass das Gehäuse bzw. die Verkleidung des Gehäuses Schall- und Wärmeemission ganz erheblich reduziert. In Bezug auf die Wärme bedeutet dies, dass innerhalb der Maschine erhebliche Temperaturen auftreten, die gegenüber herkömmlichen Trocknern gestaut wird. Dies ist für die Steuerungselektrik/Elektronik schädlich. Abhilfe wird in vorteilhafter Weise dadurch geschaffen, dass die wesentlichen Bestandteile der Elektronik außerhalb des Gehäuses bzw. außerhalb der Verkleidung in einem separaten Steuerungskasten angeordnet ist, der mit Abstand zum Gehäuse an diesem, rücksackartig, befestigt ist. Mit anderen Worten ist außerhalb des Gehäuses bzw. der von der Verkleidung gebildeten Außenhaut, vorzugsweise rückseitig, ein separater Steuerungskasten vorgesehen, der mit erheblichem Abstand zu der Außenhaut des Wäschetrockners beispielsweise über seitliche Lochbleche angeordnet ist. In ganz besonders vorteilhafter Weise ist der Steuerungskasten mit zum Entladen geeignetem Abstand zum Gehäuse im Wesentlichen vor der Entladetür angeordnet, so dass das Entladen der Wäsche bei geöffneter Entladetür im Bereich zwischen der Verkleidung des Gehäuses und dem Steuerungskasten stattfinden kann. Der Steuerungskasten selbst kann zumindest eine, vorzugsweise zwei von der Rückseite her offenbare Türen sowie Bedienelemente aufweisen, die allesamt von der Vorder- seite des Wäschetrockners her nicht sichtbar sind. Weitere Bedienelemente des Wäschetrockners sind vorzugsweise seitlich angeordnet, beispielsweise in Form von Tasten und/oder eines Displays, insbesondere in Ausführung eines Touch- Panels. Auch die Vorkehrung einer Fernbedienung über HF-Signale, Bluetooth, Infrarot, etc. ist denkbar. Auch die Fernbedienung über einen Organizer oder ein ähnliches Handheld-Gerät lässt sich realisieren. Dies kann insbesondere in Bezug auf eine konkrete Programmauswahl oder Generierung einzelner Programmschritte von Vorteil sein. As already stated above, for the invention is of very particular importance that the housing or the lining of the housing noise and heat emission significantly reduced. In terms of heat, this means that inside the machine considerable temperatures occur, which is dammed compared to conventional dryers. This is harmful to the control electrics / electronics. Remedy is advantageously created by the fact that the essential components of the electronics outside of the housing or outside the panel is arranged in a separate control box, which is at a distance to the housing at this, backsack-like, attached. In other words, a separate control box is provided outside the housing or the outer skin formed by the lining, preferably on the back, which is arranged at a considerable distance from the outer skin of the tumble dryer, for example via lateral perforated plates. In a particularly advantageous manner, the control box is arranged with discharging suitable distance to the housing substantially in front of the discharge door, so that the unloading of the laundry can take place with the unloading door open in the region between the casing of the housing and the control box. The control box itself can have at least one, preferably two, doors which can be revealed from the rear, as well as operating elements, all of which are not visible from the front side of the tumble dryer. Further operating elements of the tumble dryer are preferably arranged laterally, for example in the form of buttons and / or a display, in particular in the form of a touch panel. The provision of a remote control via RF signals, Bluetooth, infrared, etc. is conceivable. Also the remote control via an organizer or a Similar handheld device can be realized. This can be advantageous in particular with regard to a specific program selection or generation of individual program steps.
Es gibt nun verschiedene Möglichkeiten, die Lehre der vorliegenden Erfindung in vorteilhafter Weise auszugestalten und weiterzubilden.

Ein eben- falls in den Figuren nicht gezeigter Brenner dient zum Erzeugen von Wärme. Außerdem ist eine zur Steuerung des Wäschetrockners dienende Elektronik 3 vorgesehen. 7 is a schematic plan view of the subject matter of FIG. 1. FIG. Fig. 1 shows an embodiment of a commercially usable tumble dryer according to the invention for use in commercial laundries. The tumble dryer comprises a housing 1 and a drum 2 rotatably driven in the housing 1 for moving the laundry not shown in the figures. A burner, also not shown in the figures, serves to generate heat. In addition, a serving for controlling the tumble dryer electronics 3 is provided.
Der Wäschetrockner kann zum Beladen und Entladen eine einzige Belade-/Ent- ladetür aufweisen. Bei dem in den Figuren gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel eines erfindungsgemäßen Wäschetrockners ist auf der Vorderseite eine Beladetür 4 und auf der Rückseite eine Entladetür 5 vorgesehen, nämlich zum separaten Beladen und Entladen. Das Gehäuse 1 ist derart mit einer Verkleidung 6 ausgestattet, dass es allseitig eine im Wesentlichen ebene, vorzugsweise glatte Außenhaut bildet, wie es sich den Figuren insgesamt entnehmen lässt. Durch diese Maßnahme lässt sich der Wäschetrockner von der Außenseite her ideal säubern, wobei sämtliche maschinenbaulichen Elemente innerhalb des Gehäuses 1 bzw. innerhalb der Ver- kleidung 6 mehr oder weniger gekapselt sind. The tumble dryer can have a single loading / unloading door for loading and unloading. In the embodiment of a tumble dryer according to the invention shown in the figures, a loading door 4 is provided on the front side and a discharge door 5 on the rear side, namely for separate loading and unloading. The housing 1 is equipped with a covering 6 such that it forms a substantially flat, preferably smooth outer skin on all sides, as can be seen in the figures as a whole. As a result of this measure, the tumble dryer can be ideally cleaned from the outside, whereby all mechanical engineering elements within the housing 1 or within the lining 6 are more or less encapsulated.
Die Figuren lassen des Weiteren erkennen, dass sich die Verkleidung 6 des Gehäuses 1 vom Bodenbereich 7 bis hoch zur Oberkante der Maschine erstreckt. Die Maschine bzw. der Trockner ist somit insgesamt von der Verkleidung 6 umgeben, wobei die Verkleidung 6 des Gehäuses 1 aus schallabsorbierendem und wärmeisolierendem Material hergestellt ist. Genauergesagt ist die Verkleidung 6 auf der Innenseite mit schallabsorbierendem und wärmeisolierendem Material ausgekleidet, so dass die seitliche Emission von der Oberkante bis schräg nach unten ganz erheblich reduziert ist. Durch diese Maßnahme ist ein positiver Beitrag zum unmittelbaren Arbeitsumfeld des Wäschetrockners geleistet. The figures also show that the panel 6 of the housing 1 extends from the bottom area 7 up to the upper edge of the machine. The machine or the dryer is thus totally surrounded by the panel 6, wherein the panel 6 of the housing 1 is made of sound-absorbing and heat-insulating material. More specifically, the panel 6 is lined on the inside with sound-absorbing and heat-insulating material, so that the lateral emission from the top edge to obliquely downwards is considerably reduced.
