Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry dryer wherein the lint filter is cleaned.
  • lint that come off the laundry are separated from the drying air by means of filter elements. Since lint accumulated on filter elements generate resistance to the drying air, filter elements are needed to be cleaned often. Dryers wherein filter elements are cleaned by spraying water are known in the state of the art. In these types of dryers, water containing lint that is generated by cleaning the filter elements is needed to be removed.
  • One of the most common embodiments of removing water containing lint is the transfer of the water containing lint to a storage by means of a pump and the emptying of the storage by the user. In this embodiment, lint may clog the pump and fully discharging the water may not be possible. In this case, when the pump is clogged, the user needs to call the service personnel. Moreover, the water that cannot be discharged generates problems in terms of cleanliness and hygiene in the dryer. This situation adversely affects the user satisfaction.
  • a laundry dryer wherein the lint is separated from the water by means of a filter that is disposed in the chamber wherein the water containing lint is accumulated.
  • French Patent Application FR 3 006 336 A1 discloses a laundry drying apparatus with a lint filter arranged above a gap that is accessible through a cover.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry dryer wherein the user can easily access the pump that enables the discharging of the water containing lint.
  • the laundry dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claim thereof, comprises a pump and a receptacle wherein the water containing lint draining from the heat exchanger is accumulated, and that is disposed in a gap between the heat exchanger and the cover that is disposed in the front wall of the dryer and that provides access to the heat exchanger.
  • the process of the discharging of the water obtained by washing the filter and the heat exchanger in order to be cleansed of the lint is realized behind the front wall of the dryer by almost entirely changing the structural design of the dryer.
  • the discharge pump and the receptacle wherein the water is accumulated are disposed at the front portion of the dryer.
  • a cover is positioned under the door in the front wall. In case of a problem, the user can access the pump by opening the cover.
  • the dryer comprises an auxiliary cover that enables the receptacle and the pump to be covered and that enables the receptacle to be separated from the gap.
  • the auxiliary cover By means of the auxiliary cover, the drying air does not interact with the water accumulated in the receptacle during the drying.
  • the water accumulated in the receptacle is prevented from moisturizing the drying air and the drying efficiency is prevented from decreasing.
  • a grill that enables the lint to be held is disposed at the suction port of the pump.
  • a stripper that enables the lint that stick to the grill to be cleaned is disposed on the grill.
  • the stripper may be a mechanical arm that is set up at the beginning of the drying process, or a structure that is operated by means of a motor. With the stripper cleaning the grill, the pump can discharge the waste water without encountering any barriers. The lint separated from the grill accumulate in the receptacle wherein the waste water accumulates.
  • the stripper cleans the surface of the grill by stripping the grill during the drying process at intervals that are predetermined by the producer. Thus, the flow of the water towards the pump is prevented from being interrupted and the cleaning of the grill is enabled, at the same time energy saving is provided by operating the stripper at intervals.
  • the user can easily intervene when the pump is clogged and clean the lint accumulated in the receptacle. Moreover, by preventing the lint from being mixed to the pump, the lifespan of the pump is increased and the user satisfaction is increased indirectly.
  • the laundry dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a body (2); a drum (3) wherein the drying process is performed and that is disposed in the body (2); a door (4) that is disposed in the front wall of the body (2) and that provides access to the drum (3); a filter (5) whereon the lint that come off from the laundry is accumulated; at least one heat exchanger (6) that is disposed in the body (2) and that dehumidifies and heats up the drying air; a washing means (not shown in the figures) that enables preferably the filter (5) and/or the heat exchanger (6) to be cleaned by being washed; a receptacle (7) wherein the water containing lint draining from the filter (5) and/or the heat exchanger (6) is transferred; a pump (8) that enables the water accumulated in the receptacle (7) to be discharged; a base unit (9) that is disposed under the drum (3) and that carries the heat exchanger (6) and the elements such as the motor, fan, etc. that realize
  • the laundry dryer (1) the laundry is loaded in the drum (3) by opening the door (4), and the drying process is realized by closing the door (4).
  • the lint that come off from the laundry during the drying process are held by the filter (5).
  • the lint that the filter (5) cannot hold are directed to the heat exchanger (6) with the drying air. While the drying air is dehumidified on the heat exchanger (6), the lint stick on the heat exchanger (6).
  • the washing means enables the lint that accumulate on the filter (5) and the heat exchanger (6) to be cleaned by spraying water on the filter (5) and the heat exchanger (6).
  • the pump (8) enables the water located in the receptacle (7) to be discharged.
  • the dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a gap (11) arranged between the heat exchanger (6) and the cover (10); and the receptacle (7) and the pump (8) that are disposed on the base unit (9) under the gap (11).
  • the receptacle (7) and the pump (8) become accessible through the gap (11) when the cover (10) is opened.
  • the user can easily access the receptacle (7) and the pump (8) through the gap (11) by opening the door (10).
  • the user can easily clean the lint accumulated in the receptacle (7) by opening the door (10) ( Figure 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ).
  • the dryer (1) comprises an auxiliary cover (12) that is disposed between the cover (10) and the heat exchanger (6) and that isolates the receptacle (7) by separating the receptacle (7) from the gap (11).
  • the auxiliary cover (12) prevents the water from reaching the heat exchanger (6) through the gap (11) by vaporizing/splattering and prevents the drying performance from being adversely affected.
  • the user can easily access the receptacle (7) and the pump (8) by opening the cover (10) and the auxiliary cover (12) ( Figure 2 ).
  • the dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a grill (13) that is mounted at the suction port of the pump (8).
  • the grill (13) By means of the grill (13), the lint accumulated in the receptacle (7) are held before reaching the pump (8).
  • the pump (8) is prevented from being clogged.
  • the grill (13) is seated tightly at the suction port of the pump (8).
  • the grill (13) is mounted to the pump (8) by being tightly seated and thus the small sized lint are prevented from entering the pump (8).
  • the pump (8) is prevented from clogging in any way.
  • the dryer (1) of the present invention comprises a stripper (14) that is disposed on the grill (13) and that enables the lint accumulated on the grill (13) to be stripped.
  • the stripper (14) strips the surface of the grill (13) that holds the lint at certain intervals or continuously during the drying process.
  • the discharging of the water in the receptacle (7) is realized without being interrupted.
  • the grill (13) is cleaned by means of the stripper (14) and the need for the user to clean the grill (13) is eliminated ( Figure 5 ).
  • the stripper (14) is operated at intervals predetermined by the producer, and thus energy saving is provided. Moreover, by operating the stripper (14) at intervals, the total sound level the dryer (1) generates during the drying process is prevented from being increased.
  • the laundry dryer (1) has the function of washing laundry.
  • the pump (8) and the receptacle (7) are disposed at the front portion of the dryer (1) so as to be easily accessed by the user.
  • the cover (10) is positioned under the door (4) wherein the laundry to be dried is loaded with the purpose of access.
  • the user can easily access the pump (8).
  • the lint accumulated in the receptacle (7) can be easily cleaned by opening the cover (10).
  • the grill (13) By means of the grill (13), the lint cannot reach the pump (8) and the pump (8) is prevented from being clogged.
