Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry dryer or combo washer dryer which provides for drying laundry by means of a drying air flow, in which the moist drying air from the laundry compartment passes through a fluff trap before entering into a heat exchanger for moisture extraction by means of condensation.
  • the warm and dry drying air is conveyed into the laundry compartment, in particular a basket or drum, where, by passing through the wet laundry, it causes the evaporation of the water contained in the fabrics.
  • the drying air loaded with moisture passes through a heat exchanger where it is cooled down, in order to extract the moisture therefrom by means of condensation.
  • the dehumidified drying air is then sucked in again by the fan, heated and sent into the laundry compartment.
  • a fluff trap is arranged to protect the heat exchanger from dirt and sedimentation of substances extracted from the laundry together with the moisture, e.g. hair, fabric fibers, detergent residues, which would otherwise reduce the heat exchange efficiency and therefore the performance of the dryer.
  • the fluff trap is arranged upstream of the heat exchanger for cooling (formed by the heat pump evaporator) to protect both the latter and a next heat exchanger for heating (formed by the heat pump evaporator) from dirt and sedimentation of substances extracted from the laundry together with the moisture, e.g. hair, fabric fibers, detergent residues, which would otherwise reduce the heat exchange efficiency and therefore the performance of the dryer.
  • EP 3 023 169 A1 describes a clothes dryer having a lint collecting device for collecting lint.
  • JP 2013 236695 A describes a clothes dryer including a dry filter device.
  • KR 20120022362 A describes a drying device provided with a filter unit filtering the air exhausted from the containing space.
  • a laundry dryer comprises a housing which houses a laundry compartment, in particular a rotating drum or basket, a drying air circuit which includes the laundry compartment, a heat exchanger for extracting moisture from the drying air, as well as a fluff trap positioned in the drying air circuit downstream of the laundry compartment and upstream of the heat exchanger, in which the fluff trap comprises a screen filter wall and a filter cleaning system configured to brush and/or scrape the filter wall when the fluff trap is assembled in the laundry dryer.
  • the automatic cleaning of the fluff trap obviates the risk of an inaccurate cleaning, a reinsertion of the fluff trap in the wrong position, and damages to the fluff trap due to improper handling.
  • the machine or the fluff trap further comprises a fluff compacting system configured to compact, in particular by means of mechanical pressure, fluff brushed and/or scraped from the filter wall, to form a pad or a clump of compacted fluff which can be extracted from the machine.
  • a fluff compacting system configured to compact, in particular by means of mechanical pressure, fluff brushed and/or scraped from the filter wall, to form a pad or a clump of compacted fluff which can be extracted from the machine.
  • the laundry dryer comprises an electronic control system, which can be programmed by the user to select or set one from a plurality of drying cycles, respectively, and configured to automatically activate the filter cleaning system and/or the fluff compacting system, for example according to the execution of the drying cycles.
  • a laundry dryer 1 comprises a housing 2 which houses a laundry compartment 3, in particular a drum or basket which can be rotated by means of a motor 37, an air circuit 4 for the drying air 11 which includes the laundry compartment 3, a heat exchanger 5 for extracting moisture from the drying air 11, as well as a fluff trap 6 positioned in the air circuit 4 downstream of the laundry compartment 3 and upstream of the heat exchanger 5.
  • the fluff trap 6 comprises a screen filter wall 7 and a cleaning system 8 configured to brush and/or scrape the filter wall 7 when the fluff trap 6 is assembled in the laundry dryer 1.
  • the machine 1 or the fluff trap 6 further comprises a compacting system 9 configured to compact, in particular by means of mechanical pressure, fluff and/or other residues brushed and/or scraped from the filter wall 7, so as to form a "pad” or a block of compacted fluff which can be extracted from the machine 1.
  • the fluff trap 6 comprises a filter housing 12, for example a frame or grille made of a plastic or metal material, which forms an inlet opening 10 for the entrance of the air flow 11 from the laundry compartment 3, as well as one or more outlet openings 13 for the exit of the air 11 after filtering.
  • the filter housing 12 supports the filter wall 7, e.g. in its interior, so that an inlet surface 14 of the filter wall 7 faces against the direction of the drying air flow 11 or, in other words, towards the inlet opening 10, and an opposite outlet surface 15 of the filter wall 7 faces in the direction of the air flow 11 or, in other words, towards the outlet openings 13.
  • the fluff withheld by the air flow 11 is deposited on the inlet surface 14 of the filter wall 7.
  • the inlet opening 10 is positioned in an upper area with respect to the filter wall 7 and the filter wall 7 is curved so as to give his inlet surface 14 a concave shape, adapted not only to withhold fluff from the air flow, but also to collect and support from below parts of fluff which are detached therefrom.

  • the fluff area 20 is arranged to accommodate a bag or a general disposable/single-use fluff container (similar to a small dust bag of a vacuum cleaner) so that the fluff is collected and compacted directly in the bag and extracted from the machine 1 together with the latter.
