Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry dryer comprising a filter that prevents the particles such as fiber, lint and dust etc. from accumulating in the tank. While the laundry is being dried in the laundry dryer, particles such as fiber, lint, dust, etc. break off from the laundry particularly due to mechanical effects. In conventional laundry dryers, most of these particles are collected by means of one or more than one filter disposed on the dryer, thus preventing these particles from accumulating on the heat exchanger and other components. The water, that is evaporated from over the laundry and condensed in the heat exchanger during the drying cycle, is collected in a tank disposed on the dryer. In the state of the art, use of the water collected in the tank for the cleaning of components such as the filter, the heat exchanger, etc.
  • the water received from the tank removes undesired particles on the components being cleaned by it and continues its circulation.
  • the water must be filtered again so that the pump used for the discharge of the water containing particles such as fiber, lint, dust, etc. is not clogged and that the water to be discharged by the pump does not cause the accumulation of particles inside the tank.
  • a filter is disclosed, that is detachably mounted to the inlet of the tank wherein the condensed water is collected.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry dryer comprising an additional filter that prevents the accumulation of particles inside the tank wherein the condensate water is collected.
  • the laundry dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, comprises an additional filter that is mounted to the port of the tank and a cover that has an inlet thereon and that is mounted to the port of the tank so as to be opened/closed, thereby providing access into the additional filter.
  • the cover By means of the cover, the user is enabled to directly reach and clean the additional filter.
  • the laundry dryer comprises a locking member that prevents the cover from automatically opening.
  • the cover is detachably mounted to the port of the tank. Upon desiring to open the cover, the user completely removes the cover from over the tank.
  • the locking members are on two opposing long sides of the cover. In this case, the user can detach the cover completely from over the tank by opening the locking members.
  • the cover is mounted onto the tank by means of at least hinge and thus can be changed to open and closed positions. Since the cover is fixed to the port of the tank by means of the hinge, the cover is prevented from separating from the tank.
  • the locking member is disposed on the side opposite to the side whereon the hinge is located.
  • a guiding member that extends into the additional filter through the inlet when the cover is closed is provided on the lower surface of the cover.
  • the said guiding member is preferably in form of a bend, enabling the water passing through the inlet perpendicularly to enter the additional filter by guiding it with a 90-degree angle.
  • the water passing through the inlet is prevented from splattering.
  • the cover when closed, the cover does not form any protrusion on the upper surface of the tank whereto the cover is mounted. Thus, while the tank is taken out of the laundry dryer, the cover does not cause any adverse effect.
  • Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a laundry dryer.
  • Figure 2 - is the perspective view of the additional filter when the cover is open.
  • Figure 3 - is the perspective view of the additional filter mounted onto the tank when the cover is closed.
  • Figure 4 - is the detailed cross-sectional view of the additional filter mounted onto the tank when the cover is closed.
  • Figure 5 - is the perspective view of the additional filter mounted onto the tank when the cover is open.
  • Figure 6 - is the detailed cross-sectional view of the additional filter mounted onto the tank when the cover is open.
  • the elements illustrated in the figures are numbered as follows:
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises a body (2); a drum (3) wherein the laundry to be dried is placed; an air circulation duct (5) providing the delivery of the drying air onto the laundry in the drum (3); a heat exchanger (4) that is disposed on the air circulation duct (5) and that enables the temperature of the drying air to be changed; at least one additional filter (6) that retains particles such as fiber, lint, dust, etc. in the drying air and a tank (7) wherein the condensed water is stored, that has a port (12).
  • the laundry dryer (1) of the present invention comprises
  • a cover (13) that has an inlet (14) thereon and that is mounted to the port (12) of the tank (7) so as to be opened/closed, thereby providing access into the additional filter (9)
  • the additional filter (9) cleaning process is performed as follows.
  • the cover (13) closing the port (12) of the tank (7) is opened by the user, and after the surface (A) of the additional filter (9) extending into the tank (7) and retaining particles such as fiber, lint, etc. entering the tank (7) together with water is cleaned by the user, the cover (13) is closed again.
  • the inlet (14) arranged on the cover (13) overlaps with the water conduit (11) transferring the condensate into the tank (7).
  • the cover (13) allows the passage of water into the tank (7) only through the inlet (14).
  • the user is enabled to reach the interior of the additional filter (9) through a port (12) large enough to work with the interior of the additional filter (9).
  • the additional filter (9) is enabled to be cleaned without being taken out of the tank (7) ( Figure 3 and Figure 5).
  • the additional filter (9) is in form of a rectangular prism with its top open and has the surface (A) on its side walls, that retains particles such as fiber, lint, etc. entering the tank (7) together with water ( Figure 2).
  • the cover (13) is rectangular.
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises at least one locking member (16) that prevents the cover (13) from opening without any intervention from the outside when the cover (13) is closed.
  • Opposing recess- and protrusion- shaped locking members (16) are provided on the cover (13) and the tank (7).
  • the protrusion is formed on the side wall of the tank (7) so as to enter into the said recess.
  • the cover (13) is detachably mounted to the port (12) of the tank (7). When opened by the user, the cover (13) completely detaches from the tank (7).
  • At least one locking member (16) is provided on each of the opposite long sides of the rectangular cover (13).
  • the user desires to open the cover (13), he/she opens the said locking members (16) and enables the cover (13) to be completely separated from the tank (7).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises at least one hinge (15) that enables the cover (13) to be mounted onto the tank (7) so as to opened/closed.
  • the hinge (15) is preferably disposed on one of the long sides of the cover (13).
  • at least one locking member (16) that prevents the cover (13) from opening without any intervention from the outside when the cover (13) is closed is disposed opposite to the side whereon the hinge (15) is located.
  • the cover (13) is L-shaped and a part of the side opposite to the side whereon the hinge (15) is located extends towards the side wall of the tank (7) so as to partially cover the side wall.
  • the locking members (16) are preferably disposed on this part and on the corresponding part on the tank (7).
  • the cover (13) is rotated around the hinge (15) to be closed onto the additional filter (9).
  • the cover (13) is locked by the locking member (16) and maintains its closed position until it is opened by the user.
  • the user unlocks the locking member (16) and opens the cover (13) by rotating around the hinge (15) ( Figure 4 and Figure 6).
  • the laundry dryer (1) comprises one or more than one supporting rib (17) that is disposed on the cover (13) so as to increase the strength of the cover (13).
  • the supporting ribs (17) are preferably grid-shaped. The strength of the cover (13) is increased by means of the supporting rib (17).
  • the laundry (1) of the present invention comprises a guiding member (10) that extends into the additional filter (9) through the inlet (14) on the cover (13) when closed.
  • the guiding member (10) is curved, enabling the water passing through the inlet (14) almost perpendicularly to enter the additional filter (9) with a 90-degree angle. By means of the bend formed with an almost 90-degree angle, the water entering the additional filter (9) splatters less. The water enters the additional filter (9) following the surface form of the guiding member (10).
  • the cover (13) when the cover (13) is closed, the upper surface of the tank (7) whereon the cover (13) is mounted is level. Thus, when closed, the cover (13) does not form any obstruction against the removal of the tank (7) out of the laundry dryer (1).
