Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tumble dryer according to the preamble of claim 1 and a heat unit for use in such a tumble dryer according to claim 12.
  • laundry laundry dryers are usually used. These include the heat pump tumble dryer. These have a closed heat pump cycle with a compressor, an evaporator, a condenser and an expansion valve. Through this heat pump cycle the process air moisture is removed, which was previously removed from the laundry.
  • the previously heated by the heat pump cycle and dehumidified process air is passed through a fan through an air supply duct in a laundry drum of the clothes dryer.
  • the laundry to be dried is usually moved by rotation, so that the process air can reach the laundry as completely and uniformly as possible.
  • the process air absorbs moisture from the laundry and dries it.
  • the moist process air then returns via an air return channel to the heat pump cycle.
  • the moisture extracted from the laundry is condensed from the process air and discharged in liquid form to the outside.
  • the energy extracted from the process air is returned to the process air so that the process air, once heated, leaves the heat pump cycle in the direction of the laundry drum.
  • the cycle of process air is closed in this way.
  • the EP 2 642 018 A2 relates to a heat pump tumble dryer in which the heat pump cycle is arranged as a compact unit in itself removably disposed below the laundry drum, etc.
  • the input and output of the process air into and out of the heat pump circuit is arranged at the top of the unit directly vertically oriented upward.
  • the process air inlet of the heat pump cycle has a horizontally disposed filter to remove the lint from the process air.
  • the assembly of the heat pump cycle may e.g. be removed in a horizontal direction from the heat pump tumble dryer or introduced into this.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a clothes dryer of the type described above, so that by introducing a modular heat unit, a reliable sealing effect of the process air flow can be achieved.
  • the present invention relates to a clothes dryer, preferably a heat pump tumble dryer, with a laundry drum for receiving laundry to be dried and a heat unit, preferably a heat pump unit, for generating heated process air for drying the laundry in the laundry drum, wherein the laundry drum an air supply duct with a process air outlet of Heat unit is connected to supply the dried by the heat unit process air of the laundry drum.
  • a clothes dryer preferably a heat pump tumble dryer
  • a laundry drum for receiving laundry to be dried and a heat unit, preferably a heat pump unit, for generating heated process air for drying the laundry in the laundry drum
  • the laundry drum an air supply duct with a process air outlet of Heat unit is connected to supply the dried by the heat unit process air of the laundry drum.
  • at least one seal is arranged between the process air outlet and the air supply duct.
  • Such clothes dryers are known from the prior art. Since the process air outlet is arranged horizontally in these clothes dryers, the gasket is also arranged in the horizontal plane, i. the seal is located on the upper side of the heat unit around the process air outlet. As a result, it is only possible to supply the seal of the process air outlet and the inlet of the air supply channel to each other by a vertical movement, because otherwise the seal could be displaced or deformed, which could affect the sealing effect. It may also lead to incorrect positioning between the seal of the process air outlet and the entrance of the air supply channel, which may also affect the sealing effect.
  • the tumble dryer according to the invention is characterized in that the air supply duct has a lower outer edge which can engage in height in a recess of the upper side of a housing of the heat unit, wherein the seal can be arranged on the lower outer edge or on the indentation.
  • the intervention may be in the direction in which the heat unit is a compact unit, i. as a self-contained module, is mounted in the tumble dryer. This can be done with a lifting of the heat unit in height, characterized in that a circumferentially formed closed indentation such. a recess of the upper side of the housing accommodates a peripheral edge of the air supply channel which is also closed in the circumference. However, this can also take place when the heat unit is introduced into the horizontal by sliding the indentation, which is open on one side to the rear side of the laundry dryer, against the downwardly outstanding outer edge of the air supply duct.
  • the invention is based on the finding that in both cases, the outer edge of the air supply duct and the recess of the upper side of the heat unit can overlap, so that the possibility can be created in this way by the specific design of the respective edges, the movement lead the heat unit to the air supply duct.
  • This can lead to a better positioning of the heat unit with respect to the air supply duct when introducing the heat unit in the tumble dryer, which can improve the sealing effect.
  • this can make the intervening gasket more effective by arranging and aligning it on one of the two sides of the connection partners in such a way that the movement of the heat unit can bring the gasket to the intended effect. This can ensure or improve the sealing effect of the seal.
  • the indentation is open in the longitudinal direction to the lower outer edge.
  • the indentation of the heat unit in the insertion direction i. in the longitudinal direction to the lower outer edge of the air supply channel, a recess in order to enclose the outer edge of the air supply channel from the remaining three sides in the fully inserted operating state in the horizontal plane.
  • the heat unit can be introduced from the front with its rearwardly open indentation against the lower outer edge of the air supply channel in the dryer and make the desired contact with this, without having to be raised. This makes the contact between the process air outlet and the inlet of the air supply duct easier and safer with regard to positioning.
  • the indentation and the lower outer edge are correspondingly trapezoidal in shape.
  • the seal undergoes a frictional force from the first contact between the indentation and the lower outer edge of the air supply passage through the further insertion, which can lead to abrasion or a shift of the seal, which could reduce sealing effect.
  • the contact of the gasket with the indentation or the outer edge can take place only at the last moment or very late when the heat unit is introduced into the tumble dryer.
  • the contact with the indentation or outer edge can occur approximately simultaneously over the entire or the widest region of the seal, so that a secure and uniform sealing effect can be achieved.
  • the positioning of the seal can thereby be improved or maintained.
  • the seal is disposed at the lower outer edge of the air supply passage.
  • This is advantageous because the outer edge of the air supply channel protrudes freely into the room and is arranged near the rear side of the clothes dryer. This can make the outer edge easily accessible, so that the seal can be easily and accurately mounted here.
  • the seal can for example be designed as a plug-on seal and simply plugged onto the outer edge, which is also very easy. The orientation of the seal is very easy pretend that the outer edge in the desired direction in which the sealing effect is to be achieved, can be bent. As a result, the seal can be easily and safely aligned to the inside of the indentation of the heat unit out.
  • the gasket has a cavity.
  • the seal can be pressed in to a greater extent than with a massively executed seal. This can allow a greater tolerance compensation between the inside of the recess and the lower outer edge.
  • the heat unit has on its underside at least one roller, preferably at least one roller pair, on which the heat unit can be rolled on the housing bottom of the clothes dryer in the longitudinal direction. This allows the insertion and removal of the heat unit, e.g. be facilitated as a modular and self-contained unit.
  • the roller or the roller pair is preferably located towards the back of the heat unit, so that when inserting the heat unit in the dryer equal contact with housing bottom can be recorded and the roller (s) can perform their function or can.
  • the heat unit can be placed with the roller or rollers on the housing bottom of the clothes dryer and then slightly raised at its front, so that the heat unit can be pushed into position. This can facilitate the installation or in reverse order the expansion for the specialist, because the front of the dryer can be easily and conveniently accessible.
  • the roller or the roller pair may preferably be embedded in the underside of the heat unit in order to increase the height of the heat unit as little as possible and thereby reduce the space required within the tumble dryer for the heat unit.
  • the heat unit has at least one latch, preferably a latching mechanism, with which the heat unit introduced into the heat dryer can be secured at least in the longitudinal direction.
  • the latch is preferably located at the leading edge of the heat unit because it can be easily accessed thereby, in particular for releasing the latch, e.g. to exchange the heat unit.
  • the latch may preferably be a longitudinally to the front of the housing of the tumble dryer outstanding sheet, which may be resilient in height.
  • a metal sheet may optionally be resiliently bent up when inserting the heat unit into the tumble dryer and then grip behind eg a locking receptacle in the form of an edge on the housing bottom of the tumble dryer, so that a positive locking can be effected in the longitudinal direction.
  • the lock on a fuse holder as a recess, for example in the form of a hole. Through the fuse holder, a fuse such as a screw can be performed to tighten the lock in the locked state on the housing bottom in a arranged there housing side fuse holder, for example in the form of a threaded hole.
  • the recess is a slot, which is aligned in the transverse direction, so that a certain compensation of tolerances may be possible.
  • the clothes dryer has a lower frame through which the heat unit can be inserted in the longitudinal direction, wherein the lower frame at least partially has a front edge at which a corresponding edge of the heat unit during insertion to Concern can be brought.
  • the lower frame of the tumble drier can be U-shaped like a bridge, so that the laundry drum can be carried on the lower frame by means of an upper frame.
  • a clearance can be created below the laundry drum by the implementation of the lower frame, in which the heat unit, e.g. can be introduced as a modular and self-contained unit.
  • the front edge of the lower frame acts as a stop against the corresponding counterpart of the heat unit, which can be formed by a corresponding peripheral edge.
  • the leading edge of the lower frame is limited by the abutment of the edge of the heat unit whose insertion through the lower frame therethrough. In this way, the adoption of the desired positioning of the heat unit can be easily and reliably achieved. In this position, a backup can be done by the lock described above.
  • at least one seal is provided between the two edges, which preferably adjusts to the edge of the heat unit and is oriented towards the front edge of the lower frame, since the mounting of the seal on the more easily accessible heat unit can be made easier and more convenient within the Housing of the tumble dryer.
  • the heat unit has an inlet of a desuperheater, through which air can be introduced into the housing of the tumble dryer, the inlet having a filter, which can preferably be held by a receptacle such that The filter is inserted from above into the receptacle.
  • the desuperheater can be used to dissipate heat from the heat unit to the outside, ie to the environment. Therefore, the air of the Enthitzers no process air of the closed circle of the heat unit but it is sucked in on one side of the tumble dryer such as the front and returned elsewhere in such as the back of the tumble dryer to the environment.
  • the desuperheater takes the air from the environment by means of a blower, passing it in the interior of the heat unit to a heat exchanger as the actual desuperheater and then leads them back out of the housing again.
  • the filter of the desuperheater is used to protect against the introduction of lint, dust, small parts, etc. in the dryer and can therefore be arranged completely outwards, preferably directly from the inside to the inside of the front of the housing or the cover, so that in this way a seal the air flow of the desuperheater against the closed process air circuit of the heat unit can be achieved.
  • an additional seal may be provided.
  • This type of mounting of this filter has the advantage that after removing the cover, the front of the filter of the desuperheater can be cleaned directly from the front. Inserting the desuperheater filter from above can make installation and replacement quick and easy. This can be done without user intervention in the heat unit, because the filter of the desuperheater can be placed outside the heat unit, which can increase safety.
  • the heat unit has a control unit which is arranged outside the housing of the heat unit.
  • the housing of the heat unit is thermally insulating to keep the heat in the process and to minimize the heat losses to the outside.
  • a control unit would be exposed within the housing of a high thermal load and would have to be designed accordingly, which could make the production more expensive. Otherwise, the process heat would reduce the life of the control unit. Therefore, it is advantageous to arrange the control unit outside the housing, which can increase the life or make the production cheaper.
