Definitions

  • the invention relates to a lint strainer for a laundry care apparatus wherein the lint strainer comprises a filter and a flap that are pivotally attached to each other at two pivot joints, such that, in a closed position, the filter and the flap form a bag-shaped air-filtering shell.
  • the invention also relates to a laundry care apparatus comprising such a lint strainer.
  • the invention particularly relates to a laundry care apparatus having a laundry drying function, e.g. a clothes dryer or a washing/drying combination.
  • DE 296 18 169 U1 discloses a lint filter device for a programmable electric clothes dryer having a laundry drum with a front loading port, wherein the loading port corresponds with the lint filter device that is supported by a door covering the loading port, wherein the lint filter device consists of a removable fine mesh and an upstream coarse mesh that are parts of a centering or retaining body held at an inner side of the, and wherein a locking or blocking element is mounted at the centering or retaining body and cooperates with the fine mesh such that in the absence of the fine mesh closing the door and thus putting the clothes into operation is prevented by supporting at the front panel.
  • US 3,378,9341 discloses - for use in a clothes dryer of the type having a clothes receptacle and an exhaust duct with an inlet opening positioned for convenient manual access, wherein a flow of heated air passes through the receptacle and then enters the exhaust duct - an improved lint trap comprising: (a) first and second sides having the major part thereof foraminous, said sides: (i) being hinged together at the bottom thereof; (ii) providing a generally U-shaped cross-sectional configuration in a first relationship; (iii) being pivotable to a second relationship in which the surfaces forming the inside of the said U-shaped cross-section are easily and independently accessible; (b) said trap being insertable in said exhaust duct when said sides are in said first relationship; (c) means at the top of said sides cooperatively effective with the duct inlet opening to retain said trap at said opening with said sides extending generally in the direction of flow; and (d) means closing the ends of said U-shaped configuration so that air flows into said trap at
  • EP 2 682 515 A1 discloses a laundry dryer comprising an outer casing having a front wall provided with a laundry loading / unloading pass-through opening, and an air-filtering cartridge which is fitted in removable manner into an air-vent which is passed through by a laundry drying airflow (f), said air-filtering cartridge comprising a first substantially bag-or pocket-shaped, air-filtering shell or vessel which is dimensioned for being inserted / plugged into said air-vent and a second substantially bag- or pocket-shaped, air-filtering shell or vessel which is fitted / recessed into said first air-filtering shell or vessel, so as to be passed through by substantially the same airflow (f) that crosses the first air-filtering shell or vessel, each of said first and second air-filtering shells or vessels having a two valve-like structure which is openable in a book-like manner and has surfaces arranged to restrain fluff and / or lint particles in suspension into the airflow (f).
  • the laundry dryer has the second air-filter
  • a lint strainer for a laundry care apparatus, wherein the lint strainer comprises a filter and a flap that are pivotally attached to each other at two pivot joints, such that, in a closed position, the filter and the flap form an upwardly open bag-shaped air-filtering shell and that, in an open position, the filter and the flap are spaced apart below the pivot joints.
  • This lint strainer has the advantage of an improved handling during cleaning since, in the open position, the flap can detach from all parts of the filter below the pivot joints, including a bottom region. This is particularly useful since the lint typically accumulates at the bottom of the shell. A user can thus clean the flap and the filter below the pivot joints without being hindered by the other component and the pivot joints (e.g. in contrast to a lint strainer that opens in a book-like manner). Also, such a lint strainer can be implemented using particularly simple pivot joints and simply formed flaps and filters. Additionally, such a lint strainer is very robust. Furthermore, such a lint strainer is easy to handle in comparison to a lint strainer that opens in a book-like manner.
  • the filter may also be called a 'filter part' or 'filter component' of the lint strainer.
  • the filter may have one or more filter elements that have the ability to strain or filter air, in particular process air being transported (in particular being circulated) in the laundry care apparatus.
  • the filter is permeable for air but withholds or filters particles contained in the air, e.g. lint.
  • the lint may have detached from the laundry during a laundry care process, e.g. a laundry drying process.
  • the lint may include hair.
  • the lint strainer may be used to filter fluid, e.g. water.
  • the invention is only described in relation to an air filter but it should be understood that it may also be a fluid filter.
  • the at least one filter element may be embodied as at least one mesh.
  • Multiple meshes elements may have the same or different mesh sizes, e.g. be coarser or finer.
  • That the filter and the flap are pivotally attached to each other may include that they can be pivoted or rotated around the pivot joints.
  • the upwardly open bag-shape includes at least one upwardly open air inlet for letting unfiltered air into the shell. While the air can leave the shell through the filter, the lint is withheld.
  • the flap may be used to avoid parasitic air flows and to more effectively direct the unfiltered air through the filter.
  • the filter and the flap are spaced apart below the pivot joints includes that the filter and the flap, if being rotated out of the closed position, are pivoted or rotated around a rotation axis that does not coincide with a lower section or bottom rim of the filter but that is positioned at a distance from the lower section. Consequently, the pivot joints are positioned at a distance above or from the lower section. It follows that the pivot joints are markedly distanced above a lowest point of the shell.
  • the filter and the flap do not open in a book-like manner but in a mouth-like manner. The flap is not rotated to a position laterally next to the filter but to a position that is still opposite to or vis-à-vis the filter.
  • the directional descriptions relate to, without being limited thereto, a typical orientation of the lint strainer in the laundry care apparatus.
  • the shell in the closed position, has a wedge-like outer contour that narrows downwards.
  • This embodiment enables an easy insertion into a respective seating or socket of the laundry care apparatus.
  • a high contact pressure between the flap and the filter can be achieved by simply inserting the lint strainer.
  • the high contact pressure in turn may result in a substantially airtight contact between the flap and the filter, thus reducing or eliminating gaps between these components which in turn reduces or eliminates parasitic air flows around the filter element(s).
  • the filter comprises a frame holding at least one filter element for filtering lint.
  • This frame may also be called an 'outer frame'.
  • the frame may have a substantially rectangular shape comprising a bottom frame section, two side frame sections and a top frame section since this allows a particularly large filtering area and easy insertion.
  • the side frame sections may then each have a first pivot joint means engaging a respective second pivot joint means of the flap, while the first pivot joint means is markedly distanced from the bottom frame section. This enables the opening of the shell in a 'mouth-like' manner.
  • the flap in the closed position, may contact a lower part of the frame below the first pivot joint means including the bottom frame section and at least parts of the side frame sections extending from the bottom frame section towards the first pivot joint means.
  • the flap may contact the lower part of the frame practically up to the first pivot joint means or may contact the lower part of the frame up to a distance from the first pivot joint means (i.e. not all the way up to the first pivot joint means).
  • the flap in the open position, the flap is pivoted around the first pivot joint means such that a gap may exist between the flap and the lower part of the frame between the bottom frame section and the first pivot joint means.
  • the flap is pivotable at least 90° from the closed position.
  • the flap has a u-shaped, band-like base with two lateral sections connected by a transversal section.
  • the second pivot joint means may be positioned at free end regions of the lateral sections such that the free end regions do not substantially protrude over the second pivot joint means.
  • at least the lower part of the frame has a u-shaped, band-like form such that, in the closed position, the base of the flap is in a side-by-side relation to the lower part of the frame.
  • the base of the flap fits into the lower part of the frame. It is an advantage that particularly small parasitic air flows can be achieved even if the contact pressure between the flap and the frame is rather small.
  • the lower part of the frame can act as an outer boundary for the flap to protect the flap against mechanical strain. Therefore, a particularly robust lint strainer is provided.
  • the frame may have an inwardly protruding lip or flange for contacting the rim of the base of the flap.
  • the base of the flap is connected to a cover part of the flap.
  • the cover part may in particular be a wall of the shell that (in the closed position) is positioned opposite to or vis-à-vis the filter.
  • the cover part comprises two triangle-shaped side walls that are each connected to a lateral section of the base of the flap at a first edge with the edge reaching the transversal section of the base of the flap.
  • the cover part also comprises a part (called 'front part') that connects second edges of the side parts that also reaches the transversal section of the base of the flap.
  • the front part has a recessed free edge.
  • the free edge may in particular be an upper edge.
  • the recessed free edge enables a conformal fit with other components of the laundry care apparatus, e.g. a loading port and/or a bearing shield.
  • a top frame section of the frame is formed as an inlet for process air. This enables a compact design of the laundry care apparatus. Also, an air inflow direction into the shell can thus be formed in great detail and highly reproducible.
  • the top frame section of the frame may have a curved (in particular circularly curved) form to conform to a form of a loading port and/or a bearing shield.
  • the frame comprises at least one strut, the strut holding at least part of a filter element. This prevents sagging of the at least one filter element and in particular allows secure holding of more than one filter element.
  • one strut may separate two mesh elements, two cross-like arranged struts may separate four mesh elements etc.
  • the object is also achieved by a laundry care apparatus comprising at least one lint strainer as described above.
  • the laundry care apparatus comprises a seating for the lint strainer that, in the closed position of the lint strainer, presses the flap against the filter.
  • the seating may itself at least partially have a wedge-like form or may have wedge-like arranged guide elements.
  • a wedge angle of the seating may be smaller than a wedge angle of the shell of the lint strainer.
  • the laundry care apparatus has a horizontally rotatable drum for accommodating laundry wherein the drum is rotatably held by a front-side bearing shield. At its rear side, the drum may be rotatably held by a rear-side bearing shield.
  • the seating for the lint strainer may in particular be part of the front-side bearing shield which combines a compact design with a large filter area.
  • the laundry care apparatus has a laundry drying function.
  • the laundry care apparatus may be a clothes dryer, in particular a tumble dryer, or a washing machine with a drying function.
  • the laundry care apparatus may in particular be a household appliance.
  • Fig.1 shows a rear or inner face of a front-side bearing shield 1 of a laundry care apparatus in form of a clothes dryer D.
  • the front-side bearing shield 1 comprises a loading port 2 for loading clothes into a drum (not shown) through a respective opening 3.
  • the drum is rotatably held on one side by the front-side bearing shield 1.
  • the clothes dryer D is a tumble dryer with the drum being rotated around a horizontal axis.
  • the loading port 2 can be closed by a door (not shown).
  • the clothes dryer D may in particular have a closed-loop process air channel wherein warm and relatively dry process air flows through the drum therefore drying the clothes. In the depicted clothes dryer D, the process air flows through the drum in a rear-to-front direction.
  • the process air is getting moister from absorbing water from the clothes. Also, lint gets detached from the clothes and is carried away by the process air.
  • the now moist and lint-containing process air flows to a condensing unit (not shown) where it is cooled down.
  • the moist of the cooled process air condenses at the condensing unit, and the resulting condensate then typically drips into a condensate tank (not shown).
  • the lint easily sticks to the wet sides of the condensing unit and aggregates there over time.
  • the aggregated lint acts as a thermal barrier and reduces an efficiency of the condensing unit.
  • the closed-loop process air channel may comprise a respective fan.
  • the condensing unit and the heating unit may be part of a heat pump, e.g. a compressor heat pump.
  • a clothes dryer of such a layout is generally known and does not need to be described in greater detail.
  • a lint strainer or lint filter into the process air channel between the drum and the condensing unit.
  • the lint strainer may be permanently placed into the process air channel and be cleanable by a respective cleaning unit. It is also known to use lint strainers that are removably seated in the process air channel. The removable lint strainer can be manually removed and cleaned by a user.
  • the front-side bearing shield 1 has a socket or seating 4 for a lint strainer 5.
  • the seating 4 is positioned at a lowest section of the loading port 2.
  • the lint strainer 5 can be inserted into the seating 4 from the top.
  • the process air may in particular flow through the lint strainer 5 in a top-to-bottom fashion, a top-to-side fashion, or a side-to-side fashion.
  • At least a lower region of the seating 4 is substantially wedge-shaped.
  • Fig.2 shows an oblique view of a front face of the lint strainer 5 of Fig.1 with a filter 6 and a flap 7, the flap 7 being in a closed position, as also shown in Fig.1 .
  • the filter 6 and the flap 7 are pivotally attached to each other at two pivot joints 8. This, the flap 7 can be rotated around a rotation axis R.
  • the filter 6 and the flap 7 form an upwardly open bag-shaped air-filtering shell 10.
  • the shell 10 has a wedge-like outer contour that fits into the wedge-shaped part of the seating 4 such that the seating 4 presses the flap 7 and the filter 6 together.
  • the shell 10 is positioned below the pivot joints 8.
  • the filter has a frame 11 showing a basically rectangular shape comprising a bottom frame section 12, two side frame sections 13 and a top frame section 14.
  • the bottom frame section 12 and the two side frame sections 13 together have u-shaped, band-like form.
  • the side frame sections 13 each have a hole 15 acting as a first pivot joint means of the pivot joint 8 engaging a latch pin 16 of the flap 7 acting as a respective second pivot joint means of the pivot joint 8.
  • the holes 15 and thus the pivot joints 8 are markedly distanced from the bottom frame section 12, namely approximately in the middle of the respective side frame sections 13.
  • Such a pivot joint 8 is very easy to implement, lowers costs of the pivot joint and also is very robust in order to improve a lifetime.
  • the top frame section 14 has a partly curved form to fit or conform to a bottom side of the opening 3 of the loading port 2.
  • the top frame section 14 may be formed as an inlet for the process air.
  • the filter 6 further comprises a strut 17 that leads from the bottom frame section 12 to the top frame section 14.
  • Two mesh elements 18 acting as filter elements are each held by the strut 17, a side frame section 13 and respective halves of the bottom frame section 12 and of the top frame section 14.
  • the mesh elements 18 let process air through but hold back lint.
  • the flap 7 In the closed position, the flap 7 contacts a lower part 11 a of the frame 11 below the holes 15 including the bottom frame section 12 and a length of the side frame sections 13 extending from the bottom frame section 12 up to the holes 15.
  • the flap 7 has a u-shaped, band-like base 19 with two lateral sections 20 connected by a transversal section 21 (shown in Fig.3 and Fig.4 ).
  • the latch pins 16 are positioned at free end regions 22 of the lateral sections 20.
  • the base 19 of the flap 7 In the closed position, the base 19 of the flap 7 is in a side-by-side relation to the lower part 11 a of the frame 11.
  • a rim 23 of the base 19 of the flap 7 contacts the lower part 11 a of the frame 6, namely an inwardly protruding flange 30.
  • the seating 4 of the front-side bearing shield 2 is design such that, in the closed position of the flap 7 and the lint strainer 5, presses the flap against the lower part 11 a of the frame 11.
  • the base 19 of the flap 7 is connected to a cover part 24 of the flap 7.
  • the cover part 24 comprises two triangle-shaped side walls 25. Each side wall 25 is connected to a lateral section 20 of the base 19 of the flap 7 with a first edge 26. The first edge 26 reaches the transversal section 21 of the base 19 of the flap 7.
  • the cover part 24 further comprises a front part 27 that connects second edges 28 of the side walls 25. The second edges 28 also reach the base 19.
  • the front part 27 has a recessed free edge 29 to conform e.g. with adjacent parts of the loading port 2, as shown e.g. in Fig.1 .
  • the shell 10 can act as a tight retainer for lint (including hair etc.) that falls down or flows down from the mesh elements 18.
  • the shell 10 will be at least partially filled with lint.
  • a user of the clothes dryer D may then remove the lint strainer 5 and clean it.
  • the cleaning comprises opening the flap 7 by rotating it, as will be described in greater detail further below with respect to Fig.3 and Fig.4 .
  • Fig.3 shows an oblique view of the front face of the lint strainer 5 with the flap 7 in an open position.
  • Fig.4 shows another oblique view of the front face of the lint strainer 5 in the open position.
