Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry washing and drying machine comprising a condenser providing the processing air to be condensed.
  • a condenser providing the processing air to be condensed.
  • the laundry is placed into the drum moving in a tub and the drying process is realized after the washing and spin-drying processes.
  • the processing air dehumidified in a condenser preferably of air-cooled type, is passed over the laundry in the drum by applying a closed air circulation cycle by means of a fan.
  • fibers and lint are formed as the result of laundry rubbing against each other or the drum and accumulate on the condenser by being carried with the drying air.
  • the fibers and lint on the condenser are mixed into the water condensed in the condenser to be sent to the tub by means of a water discharge channel and discharged to the outside environment by means of a discharge pump.
  • the condensate water mixed with the fibers and lint and accumulated in the tub vaporizes by contacting the hot air in the tub before being discharged to the outer environment.
  • the water, taken from the laundry and condensed in the condenser during the drying process returns onto the laundry as vapor. In other words, the dried laundry gets wet again.
  • the fibers and lint in the vaporized water mix with the processing air to accumulate in the condenser and decrease the drying efficiency.
  • a laundry washer/dryer comprising a condenser, a process air channel and at least one water drain channel that is connected to the tub by being separated from the process air channel and that delivers the condensate water to the tub.
  • European Patent Application EP 240 910 A2 discloses a washing and drying machine in which process air is taken from an opening at a bottom portion of a tub, led through a conduit via a blower and heating elements, and returned to the tub.
  • a spray nozzle connected to the water supply system of the machine is inserted into the conduit for the injection of a water spray effective to condense the steam extracted from the laundry.
  • the condensate flows down through the conduit towards the bottom of the tub and is discharged by a discharge pump.
  • European Patent Application EP 2 436 832 A2 discloses a washing and drying machine in which process air is taken from a rotary drum and circulated via a cooled dehumidifier.
  • a drain tube guides condensation water from the dehumidifier to a hollow block provided in the drainage duct of the drum.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry washing and drying machine wherein the efficiency of the condenser is improved and fibers and lint are prevented from accumulating on the laundry.
  • the laundry washing and drying machine realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises the features of claim 1.
  • one end of the water drain channel is connected to the lower side of the tub, immediately next to the discharge hole.
  • a ball closing the discharge hole and preventing detergent leakage is placed into the discharge hose and the water drain channel is connected to the tub so as to be above the ball closing the discharge hole.
  • a neck extending towards the discharge hole at the lower side of the tub is provided and the lower end of the water drain channel is connected to the neck.
  • the lower end of the water drain channel is directly connected to the discharge hose and the condensate water coming from the condenser fills into the discharge hose without contacting the tub.
  • fibers and lint are prevented from accumulating in the tub and the condensate water vaporizing in the tub with the effect of the hot processing air is prevented from wetting the laundry.
  • the laundry washing and drying machine (1) is horizontal axis and front loading type, and comprises a drum (2) wherein the laundry is placed, a tub (3) wherein the drum (2) moves, a discharge hole (4) and a pump (5) situated at the lower side of the tub (3) and providing the water to be discharged at the end of the washing and drying processes, a discharge hose (6) with one end connected to the discharge hole (4) and the other end to the pump (5), a circulation duct (7) wherein the processing air (PA) circulation, providing the drying of the laundry, is performed in the drying process after the washing process, an preferably air-cooled condenser (8) disposed onto the circulation duct (7) and providing the processing air (PA) to be condensed, a fan (not shown in the figures) that provides circulation of the processing air (PA) in the circulation duct (7), a heater (not shown in the figures) heating the processing air (PA), and an outer air line (not shown in the figures) that provides the condenser (8) to be cooled by means of the air received from
  • the laundry washing and drying machine (1) of the present invention comprises a water drain channel (9) with the upper end connected to the condenser (8) and the lower end to the lower side of the tub (3) in the vicinity of the discharge hole (4) or to the discharge hose (6), that provides the condensate water coming from the condenser (8) to be delivered to the discharge hose (6) before the pump (5) without accumulating in the tub (3).
  • the processing air (PA) passing over the laundry and getting humid is condensed in the condenser (8).
  • the condensate water forming in the condenser (8) is directed with the effect of the processing air (PA) from the condenser (8) outlet towards the vicinity of the discharge hole (4) by means of the water drain channel (9).
  • the discharge hose (6) functions as a receptacle wherein the condensate water coming from the condenser (8) accumulates and the water accumulating in the discharge hose (6) is discharged to the outside by the pump (5) that is intermittently operated during the drying process.
  • the fibers and lint carried from the condenser (8) with the condensate water are prevented from accumulating at the lower side of the tub (3). Furthermore, the fibers and lint are prevented from sticking to the condenser (8) and the laundry by being carried (fluttering) with the processing air (PA) during the drying.
  • the condensate water coming from the condenser (8) during the drying process does not accumulated at the lower side of the tub (3), but is directly delivered to the discharge hose (6) and does not vaporize since it does not contact the hot processing air (PA) in the tub (3). Thus, the dried laundry is prevented from getting wet again.
  • the lower end of the water drain channel (9) is connected to the lower side of the tub (3), immediately next to the discharge hole (4) ( Figure 1 ). After traversing a short distance, for example a few centimeters between the point where the water drain channel (9) is connected to the tub (3) and the discharge hole (4), the condensate water coming from the water drain channel (9) is delivered to the discharge hose (6) from the discharge hole (4) and discharged to the outside environment by the pump (5).
  • the laundry washing and drying machine (1) comprises a ball (10) that is placed into the discharge hose (6), that closes the discharge hole (4) with the pressure of the water in the waste water pipe (B) at times when the pump (5) is not operated during the washing process and thus prevents detergent leakage during the washing process, and that allows the water to be discharged from the tub (3) by opening the discharge hole (4) when the pump (5) is operated.
  • the lower end of the water drain channel (9) is connected to the tub (3) so as to be above the ball (10) at the position wherein the ball (10) closes the discharge hole (4) ( Figure 1 ).
  • the water drain channel (9) does not create an obstruction for the ball (10) to perform its normal function and the pressure applied onto the ball (10) by the water in the waste water pipe (B) during the washing process does not drop.
  • the water in the tub (3) is discharged by the pump (5) at the end of the washing process, the ball (10) opens the discharge hole (4) and the condensate water coming from the water drain channel (9) is delivered to the discharge hose (6) through the discharge hole (4).
  • the laundry washing and drying machine (1) comprises a neck (11) extending from the lower side of the tub (3) towards the discharge hole (4) and the lower end of the water drain channel (9) is connected to the neck (11) ( Figure 2 ).
