Definitions

  • the invention relates to a floor assembly of a laundry treatment apparatus for holding a heat pump, comprising a heat source and a heat sink, which are each formed as a heat exchanger, which are at least partially accommodated in a receiving area of the bottom group, which at least partially by a cover arranged above the heat source and the heat sink cover can be covered, wherein the cover has at least one diffuser as part of a system for cleaning the heat source and / or the heat sink.
  • the invention relates to a household appliance for drying laundry with a floor assembly.
  • Evaporator or evaporator which extracts heat from the process air and thereby cools them. From the cooled process air condenses from her previously absorbed moisture.
  • Liquid refrigerant in the evaporator of the heat pump absorbs heat (energy) from the process air, evaporates and is sucked out of the evaporator by a compressor (compressor).
  • the compressor brings the refrigerant vapor to an elevated pressure and thus to a higher temperature and conveys it to a condenser or condenser (heating component of the heat pump).
  • the refrigerant liquefies again under Release of heat to the process air coming from the evaporator.
  • an expansion valve expansion valve
  • the DE 10 2014 211 303 A1 discloses a tumble dryer designed laundry treating apparatus having a floor assembly.
  • the floor assembly is adapted to hold a heat pump having a heat source configured as a condenser and a heat sink configured as an evaporator.
  • the heat source and the heat sink are accommodated in a receiving area of the floor assembly.
  • the receiving area is at least partially coverable by a cover arranged above the heat source and the heat sink.
  • the cover has a diffuser of a system for cleaning the heat source and / or the heat sink.
  • Each of the evaporator and the condenser is a heat exchanger having plates or lamellae spaced apart from each other to increase their heat exchange surfaces.
  • the slats have different distances.
  • heat exchangers with small fin spacings require a cleaning of the fins to ensure the heat exchanger performance permanently.
  • the diffuser serves to apply a liquid to the fins of the heat exchanger.
  • the distance between a rinsing gap of the diffuser and the leading edge of the heat exchanger to be cleaned must always be the same.
  • the adjustment of the distance between the rinsing gap of the diffuser and the front edge of the heat exchanger is effected by a screw, wherein the screws for tolerance compensation of the position of the heat exchanger relative to the floor assembly are slidable in slots.
  • Another approach is to pull or push the diffuser through positioning elements to the correct position relative to the heat exchanger. This is feasible with short tolerance chains, as they occur at the front heat exchanger. With long tolerance chains, as they can occur at the rear heat exchanger, the positioning of the diffuser relative to the front edge of the rear heat exchanger by pulling or pushing, can not be implemented.
  • the risk of bypass formation between the rear heat exchanger and a rear contact surface increases in the receiving area when the rear heat exchanger must be stored floating in the floor assembly. This serves while Mounting the cover with the diffuser to ensure movement of the heat exchanger can.
  • the floor assembly according to the invention for holding a heat pump of a laundry treatment apparatus comprises a heat source and a heat sink, which are each formed as a heat exchanger and are at least partially accommodated in a receiving area of the floor group.
  • the receiving area is at least partially coverable by a cover arranged above the heat source and the heat sink, wherein the cover has at least one diffuser as part of a system for cleaning the heat source and / or the heat sink, and wherein the at least one diffuser is floating in a recess of the cover is stored.
  • the float mounted in the recess of the cover a tolerance compensation at least in the transverse (x-direction) and longitudinal direction (y-direction) of the heat exchanger to be cleaned, so that the rinsing gap of the diffuser can be aligned at the front edge of the heat exchanger ,
  • the diffuser may follow a movement of the heat exchanger during assembly of the cover on the floor assembly.
  • the cover and the diffuser may form a one-piece component, thereby simplifying the mounting of the cover.
  • the diffuser may be formed at least in two parts and have a lower shell and an upper shell.
  • the cover and the lower shell can be manufactured as a common component by injection molding.
  • the lower shell is connected by means of resilient elements with the cover.
  • the resilient elements can be designed as separate components.
  • the resilient elements may be designed as connecting webs between the lower shell and the cover.
  • the connecting webs can be trained accordingly in injection molding.
  • the resilient elements arranged on both sides of the diffuser extend essentially in the transverse direction (x-direction) of the cover. Also conceivable is an arrangement in which a part of the resilient elements extends substantially in the transverse direction (x-direction) and a further part of the resilient elements substantially in the longitudinal direction (y-direction) of the cover.
  • the resilient elements can be designed as spring strips, in particular made of a metal.
  • the spring-elastic elements designed as spring strips can be inserted in advance into an injection mold. Subsequently, the free ends of the spring strips are molded in sections in the production of the cover and the lower shell integrated therein, so that they are materially connected to the cover and the lower shell of the diffuser.
  • the elements at least limit a movement of the diffuser in the vertical direction (z-direction). Thereby, a vertical minimum distance between the scavenging gap of the diffuser and the front edge of the heat exchanger can be ensured.
  • the elements may have an at least partially curved course.
  • the elements can have a relatively high spring stiffness, which contributes to a stable connection between the lower shell of the diffuser and the cover.
  • the elements having a curved course have a sufficient spring travel, in order to have greater tolerances in the positioning the lower shell of the diffuser relative to the front edge of the heat exchanger to compensate.
  • the lower shell can have holding elements, which can each be brought into engagement with a corresponding element on the heat source or the heat sink.
  • the holding elements extend substantially perpendicular to the surface of the lower shell and point in the direction of the floor group.
  • the holding elements may be formed at their free end such that they are positively engageable with the respective corresponding element, which is arranged on sections of the heat exchanger sections protruding, are engageable.
  • the upper shell can be fastened on the lower shell.
  • the upper shell can be connected to the lower shell, after the cover has been fixed on the floor assembly with compensation for tolerances in the arrangement of the rinsing gap of the diffuser relative to the front edge of the heat exchanger in the course of assembly.
  • the cover and the diffuser thus form a unit.
  • the upper shell can be connectable to the lower shell in a material-locking or form-fitting manner.
  • the upper shell can be bonded to the lower shell by adhesive bonding or welding.
  • the upper shell can be positively connected to the lower shell by screwing, wherein a sealing element is introduced during assembly between the upper shell and the lower shell.
  • a sealing element is introduced during assembly between the upper shell and the lower shell.
  • a flat sealing material which seals the cover in relation to a process chamber of the tumble dryer can be fastened to the cover only in regions outside the recess.
  • the bonding of the sealing mat can be done only in the outer edge regions of the cover for fixing a sealing material designed as a sealing mat.
  • no adhesive layer is applied to the flat sealing material or the sealing mat, in order to ensure a displacement of the diffuser relative to the cover can.

  • the floor assembly 1 also comprises a cover 5, which is arranged above the disposed in the receiving area 2 heat exchanger.
  • the cover 5 is connected to the wall 4 and another, the receiving area 2 limiting wall 6 connected.
  • the further wall 6 extends substantially parallel to the wall 4.
  • the cover 5 has a diffuser 7, which is part of a known system for cleaning the heat exchanger or the.
  • the diffuser 7 is arranged in a recess 8 in the cover 5.
  • the diffuser 7 is mounted by means of resilient elements 9 in the recess 8 floating.
  • the recess 8 has a substantially coincident with the outer contour of the diffuser 7 course.
  • the diffuser 7 comprises an upper shell 18, which on a lower shell 16, such as FIG. 4 represented, fabric or form-fitting fastened.
  • the representation in Fig. 2 shows on the outer edges of the diffuser 7, the resilient elements 9 are arranged, which hold the diffuser 7 in a spaced position relative to the recess 8 defining peripheral wall 10 of the cover 5.
  • the resilient elements 9 are designed as spring strips and have in the transverse direction of the cover 5 at least partially curved course.
  • the floating bearing allows a compensating movement of the diffuser 7 relative to the front edge of the heat exchanger in the assembly of the cover 5 on the floor assembly 1.
  • the resilient elements 9 can be designed as separate components, which with its one free end to the cover 5 and with their other free end are connected to the diffuser 7. Due to the curved course of the spring-elastic elements 9 designed as spring strips, a movement of the diffuser 7 in the vertical direction can at least be restricted.
  • Fig. 3 shows a sectional view taken along the line BB according to Fig. 2 ,
  • the representation in Fig. 3 shows a designed as a condenser heat exchanger 11, which is arranged in the receiving area 2 of the bottom group 1.
  • a condenser heat exchanger 11 which is arranged in the receiving area 2 of the bottom group 1.

  • the respective holding element 14 is positively engageable with a arranged on the respective end face 12 corresponding element 15.
  • the representation in Fig. 4 shows a perspective view from below of the cover 5 shown schematically.
  • the diffuser 7 has a lower shell 16 which is mounted by means of the resilient elements 9 floating in the recess 8 of the cover 5.
  • the cover 5 and the lower shell 16 can be produced as a component by injection molding.
  • the resilient elements 9 may, as already mentioned above, be designed as a separate component or be present as connecting webs between the lower shell 16 and the cover 5, which are formed accordingly in injection molding.
  • the lower shell 16 is provided with a rinsing gap 17 which extends across the width of the below the shell 16 arranged heat exchanger 11.
  • Fig. 5 shows a perspective view of the above the heat exchanger 11 positioned cover 5.
  • the illustration in Fig. 5 shows the upper shell 18, in which this is not yet connected to the lower shell 16.

Subsequent adjustment of the distance of the rinsing gap 17 relative to the front edge of the heat exchanger 11 after completion of the assembly of the diffuser 7, as is the case in the prior art, is eliminated. The rinsing gap 17 finds its optimum rinsing position during assembly of the cover 5 automatically. The achievable by the floating mounting of the diffuser 7 tolerance compensation thus always allows accurate positioning of the rinsing gap 17 relative to the front edge of the heat exchanger 11, regardless of the positioning of the heat exchanger 11 in the receiving area 2 of the bottom group. 1
  • the upper shell 18 is, as already stated, materially connected to the lower shell 16, which can be done by welding or gluing.
  • the diffuser 7 is completely integrated into the cover 5.
  • a one-piece of cover 5 and diffuser 7 is achieved, which eliminates additional seals between them.
  • the sealing of the necessary openings in the cover 5 to the process air space in the bottom group 1 is effected by a sealing mat, which is glued on the cover 5 only in the region of the walls 4 and 6. In the intermediate region of the cover 5, the sealing mat is only on, so that a displacement of the diffuser 7 is ensured relative to the cover 5.
