Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laundry dryer comprising a filter that holds particles such as fiber, lint and dust etc. in the drying air.
- a filter that holds particles such as fiber, lint and dust etc. in the drying air.
- the heated air is directed into the drum containing the articles to be dried and is sucked to be included in the heating cycle again.
- the particles such as fiber, lint and dust etc. should be filtered.
- various filters are developed for holding these particles in dryers. These filters produced by using various materials are disposed on the circulation path of the air inside the dryer. Accumulation of the particles held by means of the filters during the cycle of air adversely affects the flow rate of the drying air and hence the drying performance. Therefore, during the drying cycle these filters have to be cleaned at certain intervals and to be removed from the cycle of the drying air.
- the filter area as large as possible is advantageous in cleaning the filters less frequently but in this situation using more than one nozzle is required in order to effectively wash the entire filter area.
- the amount of water required to wash the entire filter area increases.
- the amount of water delivered to each nozzle decreases and this decreases water pressure, preventing the filter from being cleaned effectively.
- the amount of lint removed from the filter being quite large highly increases the risk of the said lint to cause the carrying line or the discharge pump to be clogged.
- the water sprayed from the nozzles forms a water film on the filter surface.
- a certain amount of time has to pass in order for the water film to be broken and the air flow rate to rise to the desired value.
- the temperature may increase momentarily depending on the decreased drying air flow rate. Temperature increasing momentarily causes the compressor to increase above limit values especially in closed circuit dryers and in this situation the compressor stops operating automatically. The compressor has to wait for a certain time period in order to operate again. This adversely affects time and energy consumption.
- the aim of the present invention is the realization of a laundry dryer having a filter that can be cleaned without affecting the drying effectiveness.
- the laundry dryer realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the first claim and the respective claims thereof, provides the cleaning of the filter gradually by directing water to at least one pipe in one go such that water is sprayed to only one portion of the filter surface.
- the entire filter surface is enabled to be cleaned gradually, preventing the formation of a water film on the entire surface of the filter and the drying performance from being affected adversely.
- more than one outlet port is arranged on the pipe.
- each outlet port nozzles are provided that enable water to be sprayed and delivered to the filter surface thus cleaning the filter surface effectively.
- water is not delivered to the other pipe and water is not sprayed onto the other surface. This process is repeated successively until the entire surface of the filter is cleaned.
- water is enabled to be delivered at one time to the pipes that are selected adjacently. In this embodiment, water is delivered simultaneously to the first two sections or the last two sections or the first and the last section while water is not delivered to the other section. In another one of the embodiments wherein the filter surface is divided into at least three sections, water is enabled to be delivered at one time to the selected pipes for cleaning the filter surfaces that are not side by side such that water is sprayed to only one portion of the filter surface divided into the sections. In another embodiment of the present invention, water is delivered to each pipe intermittently. Thus, the filter surface is enabled to be cleaned more effectively.
- water is not delivered simultaneously to each pipe, thus preventing the formation of film on the filter and enabling the filter surface to be effectively cleaned without any kind of interruption in the drying air cycle.
- the present invention By means of the present invention, furthermore since the water received from the tank is directed only to the selected pipes instead of all the pipes, a more effective cleaning is performed by a more pressurized water. A lesser amount of water is directed onto the filter for cleaning the filter. Furthermore, by means of the present invention, lesser amount of particles are removed from the filter surface since only one section of the filter surface is cleaned at one time and the probable clogging that may occur in the water conduit and the pump is prevented.
- Figure 1 - is the schematic view of a laundry dryer.
- Figure - 2 is the schematic view of the filter and the water conduit providing the washing of the said filter in an embodiment of the present invention.
- Figure - 3 is the schematic view of the filter and the water conduit providing the washing of the said filter in an alternative embodiment of the present invention.
- 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, a tank (7) wherein the condensed water is stored, at least one filter (6) that holds the particles such as fiber, lint, etc. in the drying air and a water conduit (11) that carries the water received from the tank (7) to the filter (6).
- the laundry dryer (1) of the present invention comprises
- the filter (6) washing process is performed as follows.
- the water received from the tank (7) is directed to the valve (9) by means of the water conduit (11).
- valve (9) By controlling the valve (9) with the control unit (13) and selecting at least one pipe (12) such that water is sprayed at one time to only one portion of the filter (6) surface divided into the sections (A, B, C), the water is directed to the said pipe (12).
- the valve (9) allows water to pass through at least one pipe (12) and does not allow water to pass to at least one of the other pipes (12).
- the laundry dryer (1) comprises at least one outlet port (15) that is disposed on the pipe (12) and that is positioned so as to spray water to the filter (6) surface divided into the sections (A, B, C) and an inlet port (14) that is connected to the water conduit (11).
- the inlet port (14) of the pipe (12) is connected to the water conduit (11) by means of a valve (9).
- the laundry dryer (1) comprises at least two outlet ports (15) positioned to correspond to each section (A, B, C) of the filter (6) surface that is divided into more than one section (A, B, C).
- the laundry dryer (1) comprises a plurality of nozzles (10) that are mounted on each outlet port (15) and that enable the water to be sprayed and delivered onto the divided sections (A, B, C) on the filter (6) surface.
- the water is enabled to be transferred from the outlet port (15) to the filter (6) surface effectively.
- the laundry dryer (1) comprises a pump (8) that receives the water from the tank (7) containing condensed water and that delivers it to the pipes (12).
- the valve (9) is disposed between the water conduit (11) and the inlet ports (14) of the pipes (12), and enables the water received from the water conduit (11) to be transferred to the pipes (12).
- the valve (9) is a three-way valve.
- the valve (9) connects the water conduit (11) with the inlet ports (14) of at least two pipes (12) and allows water to pass only to one inlet port (14).
- the laundry dryer (1) comprises the filter (6), the surface of which is divided into two sections (A, B) and two pipes (12) that have at least one outlet port (15) aligned with these two sections (A, B) and that are disposed such that the water is sprayed onto the filter (6) surface divided into the sections (A, B).
- the control unit (13) controls the valve (9) and enables the valve (9) to direct water to one pipe (12) at one time such that the water is sprayed onto only one section (A or B) of the filter (6) surface that is divided into two sections (A, B).
- the water that is firstly directed to the first pipe (12) by the control unit (13) by means of the valve (9) reaches the outlet ports (15) on the pipe (12) and are sprayed by means of the nozzles (10) to the section (B) of the filter (6) surface opposite the nozzles (10). In the meantime, the water is not delivered to the second pipe (12).
- the water is delivered to the second pipe (12) from the valve (9) by means of the control unit (13) and the water is directed to the outlet ports (15) situated on the other section (A) of the filter (6) surface, enabling the water to be sprayed by means of the nozzles (10) to the section (A) opposite the nozzles (10) at the second pipe (12).
