Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry washing and drying machine that comprises a condenser.
  • Fibers and lint accumulating in the condenser form a layer on the air channel surface and adversely affect the heat transfer and the efficiency of the condenser.
  • the decreasing efficiency of the condenser increases the drying time and energy consumption.
  • Water spraying devices are used to cleanse the fibers and lint formed at the end of the drying cycle; however, fibers and lint accumulating especially in the very narrow air channels inside the condensers cannot be properly cleansed.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry washing and drying machine wherein the fibers and lint accumulating in the condenser are provided to be cleansed.
  • 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 an air-cooled condenser that is situated at the circulation duct wherein the processing air cycle, providing the laundry to be dried at the drying process after the washing process, is performed.
  • the condenser has air channels extending in the flow direction of the processing air. Tube-shaped spraying devices are disposed into the air channels. The spraying devices receive water from a water dispenser placed at the condenser inlet or the condenser outlet and carry the water into the air channels, thus providing the fibers and lint to be cleansed.
  • Nozzles branching off from the spraying devices oppositely extend in the opposite directions into the air channels and jets of water sprayed from the nozzles are collided against each other, thus providing the fibers and lint sticking onto the air channels to be efficiently cleansed.
  • each air channel two spraying devices are disposed, extending along the right and left sides of the channel.
  • the nozzles facing each other on the spraying devices spray water towards each other, and jets of water sprayed from both sides are provided to be collided in the middle of the air channel.
  • water is sprayed into the air channel by means of two nozzles situated oppositely on the spraying devices at the condenser inlet side, two nozzles situated oppositely at the condenser outlet side and two nozzles situated oppositely in the middle of the spraying devices and close to the condenser inlet. Jets of water sprayed from the nozzles generate a vortex in the middle of the air channel and the fibers and lint sticking onto the lower and upper surfaces of the air channel are efficiently cleansed.
  • the nozzles on the spraying devices spray water angularly to the condenser inlet and especially the condenser inlet where the fibers and lint densely accumulate is efficiently cleansed.
  • the spraying device is placed longitudinally at the middle of the condenser air channel and the nozzles extending sideways in opposite directions from the spraying device spray water to the air channel.
  • the condenser is placed onto the tub in an inclined manner, the spraying device extends from the condenser outlet towards the condenser inlet and the water sprayed flows downwards through the inclined air channel and leaves the condenser.
  • the fibers and lint sticking onto the surfaces surrounding the condenser air channels are efficiently cleansed by means of the spraying devices and the nozzles extending into the air channels, thus the efficiency of the condenser is improved.
  • Figure 1 – is the schematic view of a laundry washing and drying machine.
  • Figure 2 – is the perspective view of the tub, the circulation duct and the condenser all situated in a laundry washing and drying machine.
  • Figure 3 — is the schematic view wherein a condenser and spraying devices therein are perpendicular to the processing air flow.
  • Figure 4 – is the schematic view wherein a condenser and spraying devices therein are in the same direction as the processing air flow.
  • Figure 5 — is the schematic view wherein a condenser and spraying devices therein are perpendicular to the processing air flow in another embodiment of the present invention.
  • 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 circulation duct (4) wherein the processing air (PA) circulation, providing the drying of the laundry, is performed in the drying process after the washing process, a fan (5) that provides circulation of the processing air (PA) in the circulation duct (4), a heater (13) heating the processing air (PA), an air-cooled condenser (7) disposed onto the circulation duct (4), having at least one air channel (6) wherein the processing air (PA) passing therethrough is condensed, a condenser inlet (8) through which the processing air (PA) enters the condenser (7) and a condenser outlet (9) through which the processing air (PA) leaves the condenser (7).
  • a condenser inlet (8) through which the processing air (PA) enters the condenser (7)
  • a condenser outlet (9) through which the processing air
  • the laundry washing and drying machine (1) of the present invention comprises - a dispenser (10) that is placed at the condenser inlet (8) or the condenser outlet (9) and that directs the water received from the water mains to the air channel (6) during the fiber and lint cleansing process performed at the end of the drying process, - at least one tube-shaped spraying device (11) that is connected to the dispenser (10), that is placed into the air channels (6) and that carries the water coming from the dispenser (10) into the air channel (6), and - more than one nozzle (12) that are situated on the spraying device (11) and that sprays water into the air channel (6) in the opposite directions and towards each other.
  • the processing air (PA) passing over the laundry and becoming humid is delivered to the condenser (7) by passing from the tub (3) outlet by means of the circulation duct (4) and is condensed by passing through the air channels (6) in the condenser (7).
  • the fibers and lint formed as the result of the laundry rubbing against the drum (2) and each other are conveyed by the processing air (PA) and accumulate at the condenser inlet (8) and in the air channels (6) inside the condenser (7).
  • the spraying device (11) is operated for cleansing the fibers and lint at the end of the drying process.
  • the water received from the mains is carried to the air channel (6) by means of the dispenser (10) and the spraying device (11).
  • the water sprayed into the air channel (6) from the nozzles (12) cleanses the fibers and lint accumulating at the condenser inlet (8) and on the surfaces surrounding the air channel (6).
  • the nozzles (12) are positioned on the spraying device (11) in the opposite directions and facing each other, and the jets of water sprayed from the nozzles (12) are provided to be collided with each other and/or to hit the surfaces surrounding the air channel (6), thus to be stirred and agitated.
  • the jets of water sprayed from the nozzles (12) almost completely contact the surfaces surrounding the air channel (6) and the air channel (6) is efficiently cleansed of fibers and lint.
  • the laundry washing and drying machine (1) comprises two spraying devices (11) that extend between the condenser inlet (8) and the condenser outlet (9) in the processing air (PA) flow direction and that are placed right and left at the sides of the air channel (6) , and the nozzles (12) positioned oppositely and facing each other on the spraying devices (11) such that the jets of water sprayed thereby collide at the middle of the air channel (6) ( Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4).
  • the jets of water sprayed by the nozzles (12) from the sides of the air channel (6) toward the middle thereof collide at the middle of the air channel (6) and the lower and upper surfaces of the air channel (6) are provided to be efficiently cleansed.
  • the laundry washing and drying machine (1) comprises two nozzles (12) positioned oppositely on the spraying devices (11) at the condenser inlet (8) side, two nozzles (12) positioned oppositely on the spraying devices (11) at the condenser outlet (9) side and two nozzles (12) positioned oppositely on the spraying devices (11) at the middle of the spraying devices (11) so as to be close to the nozzles (12) at the condenser inlet (8) ( Figure 4).
  • the jets of water sprayed from the nozzles (12) at the condenser inlet (8) side collide at the middle of the air channel (6) and cleanse the condenser inlet (8).
  • the jets of water sprayed from the opposite nozzles (12) at the middle of the spraying devices (11) and at the condenser outlet (9) side form a vortex at the middle of the air channel (6) and spread in a wide area, thus provides this region to be efficiently cleansed of fibers and lint.
  • the water vortex furthermore, creates a barrier against the jets of water that are sprayed from the nozzles (12) at the condenser inlet (8) side into the air channel (6) and that flow towards the condenser outlet (9), thus the water is provided to stay in the air channel (6) for a longer period of time.
