Definitions
- the invention is in the field of laundry treatment appliances, such as in particular tumble dryer, washer-dryer and / or washing machines, and relates to a filter assembly for a laundry treatment machine with a filter for filtering out impurities that carries a liquid flowing in the laundry treating machine, and with a receiving space for the deposition of filtered impurities having at least one passage area with a plurality of passage openings for the liquid.
- a filter assembly for a laundry treatment machine with a filter for filtering out impurities that carries a liquid flowing in the laundry treating machine, and with a receiving space for the deposition of filtered impurities having at least one passage area with a plurality of passage openings for the liquid.
- Such filter arrangements are known for various purposes, in particular for the filtration and deposition of hair, lint and lint (hereinafter collectively and generalized as impurities), and in various embodiments.
- JP-2010-005247-A and JP-2010-057651-A each disclose a washing machine having an external lint filter assembly having an integrally molded partition and a screen for filtering lint from a flow of water.
- a Flusenfalle is provided which has a gradually increasing trap bottom with uniform passage openings leading to a common water outlet.
- the receiving space of the lint trap is successively filled gradually, but with a random / stochastic occupancy of the lint-receiving space depending on the inflow behavior and the geometry of the inflowing liquid jet.
- the document DE 88 12 477 111 describes an external filter device with a container, between the inlet and outlet nozzle filter elements are provided. To filter out solids of different size and density safely and effectively from a liquid flowing through the filter device (wash liquor), a first, removable (preferably inclined) coarse filter element and a second (preferably vertically arranged) fine filter element are provided in the container.
- the filter elements can be provided with increasingly larger to its upper edge filter pores or openings.
- the washing liquor flowing into the impact side of the coarse filter element is distributed over a large area there and a majority of the lint from the wash liquor is already retained there.
- the wash liquor flows in a direction of the container bottom directed flow direction to the fine filter element. Fine contaminants remaining in the wash liquor are deposited in a gap formed between the two filter elements without this deposition process being controlled or optimized. This is irrelevant in this known filter device, because this is preferably as a mobile filter device outside the washing machines and is designed for a regular, easy need-cleaning.
- a filter arrangement of the type mentioned is known from the document DE 10 2010 039 603 A1.
- This describes a laundry treatment appliance with a filter assembly comprising a housing with a receiving space therein.
- the receiving space serves for the (permanent) uptake and deposition of contaminants, which carries the condensate flowing through the receiving space.
- the condensate serves as a rinsing liquid for rinsing and cleaning components of the laundry treatment device, which can fluff, hair, lint and the like settle during operation and thereby affect the performance of these components.
- the receiving space has in the ceiling area and at one end side inflow openings for coming from different components to be cleaned rinsing liquid. The liquid thus enters the receiving space, in the bottom of which several holes are introduced.
- a lint filter may be provided and designed, for example, as a nonwoven layer, as a rigid filter made of perforated metal or plastic sheet or as a sieve.
- This known filter arrangement is designed comparatively space-optimized and is preferably used in a laundry treatment appliance, the filter assembly is designed as a life-Flusendepot.
- a complete filling or optimal utilization of the available recording space is not guaranteed in every case.
- a filter assembly with the features of the independent claim. Accordingly, it is provided in a filter arrangement of the type mentioned above that the passage openings are arranged and / or dimensioned in the passage region such that a throughput gradient for the liquid results over the passage region, so that the flowing liquid enters the receiving space in a predetermined manner penetrated so that the filling of the receiving space and the deposition of impurities in a preferred direction.
- a first advantage of the invention is that the arrangement or the design of the passage openings - in particular their respective opening width and the number of passage openings per unit area - ensure that the flowing liquid passes through the receiving space in a predetermined manner and thus does not contaminate Stochastic and random deposit, but with predetermined preference.
- the throughput of liquid in a specific area of the receiving space can be conveyed, so that throughput-controlled a predetermined distribution and flow main course can be achieved. tion of the liquid. Initially, ie with the filling space still empty, the deposition of the impurities can initially begin in a first preferred range or at least take place predominantly there.
- the receiving space fills from this first area starting in an orderly manner gradually according to the flow rate gradient in a predetermined manner or direction.
- the passage area is inhomogeneous with respect to the throughput of liquid through the passage openings and designed so that pass through at least a portion of the passage area only comparatively small proportions of the total flowing liquid (eg a Spülwasservolumenstroms), while another section a lighter and faster Passage of the liquid allows, whereby a targeted throughput control and thus a throughput gradient over the passage area is realized.
- the (main) flow of the liquid is influenced by the filter arrangement such that the filling of the receiving space takes place, for example, in a preferred direction.
- the volume of the receiving space for the deposition and storage of impurities is optimally filled and utilized.
- Particularly advantageous is the application of the filter arrangement according to the invention for cleaning and filtering a Spülwasservolumenstroms, in the initially described and known type in a laundry treatment machine for cleaning components - such as a lint filter in the drying air circuit or a heat exchanger for the recovery of heat energy from the Process air - used by fluff deposits.
- the passage area is located in the bottom of the receiving space.
- the inflowing liquid distributes particularly reliably in the desired manner - controlled by the throughput gradient due to the inhomogeneous configuration of the respective throughput through the passage openings - and leads to the desired deposition sequence of the lint and impurities even with a comparatively uncontrolled and surge-like inflow of the liquid .
- the passage openings are preferably designed as sieve segments.
- the screen size can be used in addition or alternatively to control the respective throughput by the effective area of the passage opening is influenced by the fine mesh of the screen.
- the total area of the passage openings per unit area decreases from an initial area to an end area.
- the initial region thus advantageously forms the targeted beginning or initial location of the deposits of the deposited impurities, which then from there according to the flow rate gradient controlled to the end, preferably in stages (stages), further deposit.
- a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention with regard to the utilization of the available passage area in the passage region provides that the passage openings are formed at least partially in the form of rows of alternately oriented triangular surfaces.
- a particularly uniform distribution and a homogeneous inflow or flushing of the liquid volume flow into the filter arrangement is achieved according to a preferred embodiment of the invention in that there is a passage opening-free region between an inlet region for the liquid and the passage region.
- a development of the invention which is particularly preferred in terms of design and handling provides in this regard for the inlet area for the liquid to be formed on one end side of the filter arrangement and for the preferred direction to extend from the front side of the receiving space to the front side.
- FIG. 1 shows a filter arrangement in the installed position in a laundry treatment machine in cross-section
- Figure 4 shows a filter assembly in an open view.
- a filter assembly in addition to the filter assembly 1 only rudimentary other parts of a laundry treatment machine shown, namely in particular a narrowing guide channel 2 for a liquid 3, the so-called.
- the lint filter 6 is located in a non-illustrated flow channel 7 for so-called.
- Process air 8 which in a conventional manner previously flows through a (not shown here) drying chamber and thereby removes moisture in the drying chamber befindaji laundry.
- the lint filter 6 is provided between the drying chamber and a process air downstream (also not shown here) arranged heat sink.
- a process air downstream also not shown here
- Such a structure of a laundry treatment machine is basically known, for example, from the document DE 10 2009 046 921 A1.
- mitgeschwemmte impurities 4 arrive as indicated by the arrow in Ein Hughesraum 9 with the liquid (rinse water or rinsing condensate) through an inlet region 10, which is provided on an end face 1 1, in the filter assembly.
- the filter assembly comprises a lower part, which is referred to as a housing shell or filter bowl 14, and an upper part, which is referred to as cover 15.
- the filter assembly is fixedly installed in the bottom region 16 of the laundry treatment machine and can in particular be designed as a so-called. Life-Flusendepot, as described in the aforementioned document DE 10 2010 039 603 A1, to which reference is made, described in detail.
- the liquid 3 passes in the direction indicated by the arrow Ein Hughesraum 9 as Spülwasservolumenstrom 18 gushing into a deposition space or receiving space 20 of the filter assembly.
- the receiving space 20 serves to accommodate the entrained impurities 4.
- the purified and lint-free liquid 22 exits through a passage region 24 of the filter assembly again.
- the passage region 24 is in this embodiment, in the bottom 25 of the receiving space 20, which is manufacturing technology and fluidic preferred.
- the bottom 25 is provided with a filter device 26 in the form of a fleece or sieve; but it can also be provided only the respective passage area with a sieve or sieve. For ease of illustration, the respective sieves or sieve are not shown in Figures 2 to 4.
- one or more passage regions (e) may also be provided at other locations, for example in the lateral boundary walls of the receiving space 20.
- the latter has a multiplicity of openings, of which only openings 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32 are shown in FIG. These openings are designed as so-called sieve segments, ie their opening cross-section is covered by a sieve.
- a multiplicity of smaller adjacent openings could achieve the same sieving effect of the sieve-covered opening 28 at this location.
- the passage region 24 is configured in the rear region 33 of the receiving space 20 in the direction of the scavenging direction 9 of the liquid 3, so that an increased outflow of the liquid 22 (only roughly symbolized by a plurality of arrows 22 at the openings 32, FIG. 31, 30) in this area.
- the passage opening 32 located there is significantly further formed in its passage surface 34 (or in the case of circular through-openings in its diameter) than the left-adjacent passage opening 31, etc. (symbolized by the decreasing number of arrows of the liquid 22).
- the passage openings 32, 31, 30, 29, 28 in the direction of the inlet area 10 decrease in their effective passage area or are arranged and dimensioned in such a way that the total passage area per unit area decreases. This can be done continuously or in stages or successively.
- the fluff 4 is deposited in a preferred direction 40, ie starting in the rear region 33 of the receiving space 20, that is to say from an inner wall 41 lying opposite the front side.
- the screen surface area or the proportion of passage openings per unit area is initially only a very small proportion of the rinse water volume flow 18 the majority of the flushing water volume flow reaches into the rear area 33 and flows there. As a result, there is initially deposited the vast majority of the lint 4.
- the receiving space 20 is gradually filled further in the preferred direction 40-that is, counter to the throughput gradient 38-successively.
- FIG. 4 shows the filter arrangement 1 in an open representation. It can be seen the lower part, so the filter bowl 14, and the upper part, so the cover 15 with the access opening or the inlet region 10.
- the filter assembly may preferably act as a life-Flusendepot, so that the housing parts 14, 15 firmly connected in the assembled state could be.
- the cover 15 may further inlet openings, not shown, for other liquids - for example, condensate, which precipitates on a heat exchanger from the process air flow - have. Basically, even in this inflow, the above-described design measures bring about a controlled flow of the liquid in the receiving space 20 and thus the previously described controlled and reproducible deposition of impurities possibly carried by the condensate or the second (rinse) liquid.
- a targeted influencing, for example, of a rinse water volume flow in dependence on the degree of filling of the receiving space is realized. Due to the design, arrangement and dimensioning of the passage openings and optionally the screen or filter elements of Spülwasservolumenstrom is influenced so that this initially empty receiving space in a preferred starting area passes - in the embodiment, the rear portion 33 - and from there, starting gradually the receiving space and continue to fill. Thus, a filter arrangement is created, the entire space is largely available for receiving and possibly permanent landfill of lint and impurities available.
