Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tumble dryer, in particular heat pump tumble dryer, with a laundry drum for receiving laundry to be dried, and a heat unit, in particular a heat pump unit, for generating heated process air for drying the laundry in the laundry drum, wherein the laundry drum through an air return duct is connected to a process air inlet of the heat unit (23) to supply the process air humidified by the laundry to the heat unit, and wherein the air return passage has a deflection area to supply the process air deflected to the process air inlet and the deflection area is formed by the Process air inlet of the heat unit is arranged spaced from the front of the housing of the dryer, wherein the front of the housing of the clothes dryer has a removable cover which can at least partially close the deflection region, wherein between the laundry drum (15) and the process air inlet at least one filter for filtering the humidified process air is arranged in the deflection region.
  • Such a tumble dryer is from the WO2015 / 101387 A1 known.
  • a clothes dryer with a filter unit consisting of a first and a second filter element known, which are connected to a cover for the air duct and removably disposed in front of the heat exchanger.
  • the removable filter unit is arranged behind a housing door.
  • 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 in liquid form to the outside dissipated.
  • 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 can eg be removed in a horizontal direction from the heat pump tumble dryer or introduced into this.
  • the DE 42 12 700 A1 relates to a heat pump tumble dryer, the heat pump cycle is also arranged as a compact unit below the laundry drum, etc. and removable in the horizontal or can be pulled out.
  • the heat pump cycle is designed for this purpose as a drawer, which can be moved horizontally on slides. In this way, the maintenance of the heat pump cycle should be simplified.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a clothes dryer of the type described above, so that filters for removing lint and the like from the process air stream can be easily and reliably cleaned. In particular, this should be done without removing the heat unit and components thereof. In particular, this should be done safely by the user instead of specialist personnel.
  • the present invention relates to a clothes dryer, in particular a heat pump tumble dryer, with a laundry drum for receiving laundry to be dried and a heat unit, in particular a heat pump unit, for generating heated process air for drying the laundry in the laundry drum, wherein the laundry drum an air return passage having a process air inlet of the Heat unit is connected to supply the moistened by the laundry process air of the heat unit. At least one filter for filtering the humidified process air is arranged between the laundry drum and the process air inlet.
  • Such clothes dryers are known from the prior art and return the humidified process air directly vertically from above into the heat unit.
  • the process air inlet of such known tumble dryer is thus aligned in the horizontal, i. on top of the heat unit. This applies to a corresponding filter in front of the process air inlet, which is also to be arranged horizontally on top of the heat unit and thus can only be cleaned from above.
  • the inventive clothes dryer includes an air return passage having a diverting area for supplying the process air diverted to the process air inlet, the filter being disposed in the diverting area.
  • the process air inlet of a laundry drier according to the invention is not arranged horizontally on top of the heat unit but the process air inlet or the surface of its opening is inclined at an angle to the horizontal, so that the humidified process air from the laundry drum to the process air inlet the rectilinear flow direction is deflected. This deflection is preferably about 90 °.
  • This area of the air return channel is referred to as the deflection area.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that by this deflection of the process air, a region of the air return channel can be created, which can be made easily accessible to the user, e.g. by opening the housing of the tumble dryer from the front. If at least one filter is arranged in this deflection region, this can also be easy, convenient and quickly accessible and clean for the user.
  • the filter can be arranged in front of the process air inlet, so that the heat unit neither has to be removed nor changed in order to be able to carry out the cleaning of the filter.
  • This can make cleaning the filter easier than with the known tumble dryers.
  • this is not a specialist required but the cleaning of the filter can be made by the user. Safety risks for the user can also be reduced or avoided because the heat unit can remain untouched when cleaning the filter.
  • the deflection region is formed in that the process air inlet of the heat unit is arranged at a distance from the housing front side of the tumble dryer.
  • the housing front side of the tumble dryer has a removable cover which can at least partially close the deflection region.
  • the deflection area can thus be formed by the two side walls and the bottom as fixed surfaces of the tumble dryer housing in combination with the front of the heat unit and the removable cover.
  • the deflection area can be open.
  • the front of the heat unit has the process air inlet. By opening or removing the cover, the deflection area can be accessed from the front. As a result, the deflection area for cleaning the filter can be made easily, quickly and conveniently.
  • the inventive laundry dryer comprises at least a first filter, which is arranged at least partially in the deflection region and opposite the process air inlet at an angle ⁇ greater than 0 ° and less than 90 °, preferably at an angle ⁇ greater than about 30 ° and less than 90 °, more preferably in an angle ⁇ of about 60 ° aligned.
  • the angle is measured by the area of the front of the heat unit around its upper edge.
  • the first filter may slightly protrude toward the user or protrude from the surface of the front of the heat unit. Since the heat unit is usually arranged below the laundry drum, the first filter is thus arranged very close to the ground before the process air inlet.
  • the angled projection of the first filter towards the user makes the first filter easier to access for the user, which makes it easier, faster and more convenient to clean. Furthermore, the first filter can be better brought into the stream of process air by the angling. Furthermore, there is room for another filter behind the first filter.
  • the first filter can be arranged at least slightly sloping.
  • the lint trapped from the process air may slip by itself toward the openable cover, making it easier for the user to remove.
  • a certain self-cleaning function may result from the fact that the higher area of the first filter, from which the lint can slip down, remains lint-free longer than with a horizontal orientation of the first filter.
  • the first filter is at least partially attached to the housing of the tumble dryer.
  • the attachment of the first filter to the housing preferably has a seal to ensure that the lint-containing humidified process air is completely passed through the first filter.
  • the first filter thereby becomes a part of the tumble dryer housing, i. it is not attributable to the heat unit. Therefore, the first filter can also be removed, e.g. for cleaning, repair or replacement without having to change the heat unit. This may be safer for the user, so that the user may e.g. The replacement of a first filter can perform even without specialist staff, which can make this cheaper and easier for the user.
  • the first filter at least in sections on a seal which can act sealingly against the cover.
  • the first filter may protrude freely to the cover in the deflection area, which may have the advantage that the first filter can be easily and conveniently accessible from the top and bottom of the user for cleaning. So that the lint-containing humidified process air is nevertheless guided completely through the first filter, the edge of the first filter projecting toward the cover may have a seal which, in the closed state of the cover, can seal the first filter in this direction.
  • the tumble dryer has at least one second filter, which is arranged at least partially in the deflection region between the first filter and the process air inlet.
  • a second filtering of the lint-containing moisturized process air can be provided in order to increase the overall filtering effect.
  • the same or different types of filters can be used to achieve the desired filter effect.
  • different filter finenesses can be selected so that the first filter can trap the larger lint and the second filter can filter out the finer lint from the process air due to its more dense filter pores that have passed through the first filter. This can keep each individual filter free of deposited fluff for a longer period of time so that even more process air can flow through it, as a result of which the cleaning of the filters must be carried out less frequently.
  • the second filter is at an angle ⁇ greater than 0 ° with respect to the process air inlet and smaller than the angle ⁇ of the first filter, preferably at an angle ⁇ greater than 0 ° and substantially smaller than the angle ⁇ of the first filter, particularly preferably at an angle ⁇ of about 10 ° aligned.
  • the angle ⁇ of the second filter to be selected smaller than the angle ⁇ of the first filter can therefore be done to order the second filter between the process air inlet and the first filter can.
  • Choosing the angle ⁇ of the second filter substantially smaller than the angle ⁇ of the first filter can ensure that sufficient distance can be created between the two filters so that the lint deposited on the second filter can not clog the first filter from the rear side thereof. Also, sufficient space for the user can be created in this way to be able to clean the second filter from the front. This applies in particular to the choice of the angle ⁇ of the second filter of about 10 °.
  • the second filter is fixedly arranged on the heat unit in front of the process air inlet.
  • the second filter is an integral part of the heat unit.

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 bottom of the tumble dryer and then easily on the front be raised 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 23 has a control unit 45, which is arranged outside the thermally insulating housing 24 of the heat unit 23 (cf., for example Fig. 4 and 5 ).
  • the required electrical connections of the control unit 45 are guided through openings of the housing 24. In this way, the heat of the heat unit 23 can be kept away from the control unit 45, which is why it must be designed less thermally resistant, which can make the production cheaper. Also, this may increase the life of the control unit 45.
