Definitions

  • the invention relates to a scanner for a device for detecting a moisture content of a laundry located in a tumble dryer with a rotatable drying drum of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 1, a device for detecting a moisture content of a laundry located in a tumble dryer with a rotatable drying drum of claim 5 and a clothes dryer with a rotatable drying drum of the type mentioned in the preamble of claim 6.
  • tumble dryers, devices and scanners are already known in a variety of embodiments from the prior art.
  • a device for detecting a moisture content in a laundry for a tumble dryer with a rotatably mounted drying drum the drum shell of which has two parallel, spaced-apart contact strips, a fixed scanning arm having a movably mounted holder for two sliding contacts mounted under spring tension.
  • the known sliding contacts are designed as carbon contacts. See, for example, the EP 2 028 314 B1 .
  • a clothes dryer with a device for detecting a moisture content in the laundry is known, in which the contact strip is formed from an electrically conductive plastic.
  • the invention therefore presents the problem of specifying a scanner, a device for detecting a moisture content of a laundry and a clothes dryer with such a device, in which a proper function of the detection of the moisture content of the laundry is ensured over a long period of time.
  • this problem is solved by a scanner for a device for detecting a moisture content of a laundry located in a tumble dryer with a rotatable drying drum with the features of claim 1, according to which the sliding contact is formed from an electrically conductive plastic. Furthermore, the problem according to the invention is solved by a device for detecting a moisture content of a laundry located in a tumble dryer with a rotatable drying drum with the features of patent claim 5 and a tumble dryer with a rotatable one Drying drum with the features of claim 6 solved.
  • the advantage that can be achieved with the invention is, in particular, that a proper function of the detection of the moisture content of the laundry is ensured over a long period of time.
  • the service life of the scanner according to the invention, the device according to the invention for detecting the moisture content of the laundry and the laundry dryer according to the invention equipped with such a device is correspondingly extended. This reduces the number of customer service assignments in this regard.
  • the scanner according to the invention, the device according to the invention and the tumble dryer according to the invention do not have to be serviced or repaired over their entire running time, that is to say over their total period of use, in the components relevant to the invention.
  • the scanners Due to the larger drum diameters, the scanners are subject to higher peripheral speeds and, compared to household appliances, cover a longer running distance over their service life.
  • the more diverse number of textile types to be dried in the professional area also contributes to the intensive wear of the scanner carbon. Accordingly, a solution to the wear problem with the sliding contacts in professional devices is even more important than in household appliances.
  • the sliding contact is designed as an electrically conductive plastic. Electrically conductive plastics are available in a large number of embodiments and material properties and can therefore be used advantageously for a large number of different applications.
  • the scanner according to the type, material, dimensions, shape, arrangement and number can be freely selected within wide suitable limits. The same applies to the at least one sliding contact of the scanner.
  • the sliding contact has a sliding friction coefficient, dynamic against steel, of less than or equal to 0.6, preferably less than or equal to 0.4, particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.2. In this way, the friction between the sliding contact on one side and the drying drum or the contact belt arranged on the drying drum on the other side. The wear of the at least one sliding contact is correspondingly significantly reduced.
  • a further advantageous development of the scanner according to the invention provides that the sliding contact has an electrical resistance of less than or equal to 100 ohms, preferably less than or equal to 1 ohms, particularly preferably less than or equal to 0.01 ohms. This improves the detection of the moisture content of the laundry in the drying drum. Deviations due to the electrical resistance of the sliding contact are thus significantly reduced. The detection of the moisture content is thus simplified since compensation for such deviations is not necessary or is possible with simple means.
  • a particularly advantageous development of the scanner according to the invention provides that the sliding contact is designed to be suitable for long-term use at a temperature of greater than or equal to 140 ° C. and for short-term use at a temperature of greater than or equal to 180 ° C. In this way, applications in the professional field are possible over a long period of time without maintenance or repair of the scanner.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of a clothes dryer 2 according to the invention is partially shown in a partial sectional view.
  • the clothes dryer 2 is designed as a clothes dryer for the household, that is for non-professional use.
  • the clothes dryer 2 has a drying drum 4, in which drum ribs 6 are arranged. At least one of the drum ribs 6 is electrically conductively connected to a first contact strip 8 in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
  • the first contact strip 8 is arranged on an outer surface of a drum shell of the drying drum 4 and in an electrically insulated manner from the drum shell of the drying drum 4.
  • a second contact band 10 is electrically conductively connected to the outer surface of the drum jacket of the drying drum 4 and is arranged parallel to the first contact band 8.
  • a scanner 14 designed as a scanning arm is fastened to a housing 12 of the clothes dryer 2.
  • the scanner 14 has a holder 16 on which a first sliding contact 18 and a second sliding contact 20 are each resiliently mounted.
  • the first and the second sliding contact 18, 20 are clamped on one side in the holder 16 with one end of the respective sliding contact 18, 20 in a manner known to the person skilled in the art.
  • the scanner 14 with the holder 16 and the sliding contacts 18, 20 resiliently mounted thereon is arranged relative to the contact strips 8, 10 such that the first sliding contact 18 with its free end against the first contact strip 8 and the second sliding contact 20 with its free end is pressed against the second contact strip 10.
  • the two sliding contacts 18, 20 thus abut against the corresponding contact belt 8, 10 when the drying drum 4 is rotatably mounted about an axis of rotation 22 on the housing 12 of the clothes dryer 2.
  • the first and the second sliding contact 18, 20 are each electrically conductively connected to a control of the clothes dryer 2, not shown, in a manner known to those skilled in the art.
  • first sliding contact 18, which bears against the first contact strip 8, which is electrically conductively connected to one of the ribs 6, and the second sliding contact 20, which bears against the second contact strip 10, which is electrically conductively connected to the outer surface of the drum shell of the drying drum 4 it is now possible to detect the moisture content of a laundry 24 located in the drying drum 4 in a manner known to the person skilled in the art and to use it in the control of the clothes dryer 2 to control or regulate the clothes dryer 2.
  • the first and the second sliding contact 18, 20 are made of the same material from an electrically conductive plastic.
  • the electrically conductive plastic has a sliding friction coefficient ⁇ , dynamic against steel, of approximately 0.1 to approximately 0.39. Furthermore, the electrical resistance in the electrically conductive plastic is less than 100 ohms.
  • the electrically conductive plastic is also suitable for long-term use at a temperature of approximately 140 ° C. and for short-term use at a temperature of approximately 180 ° C.
  • the scanner 14 and the device for detecting the moisture content are designed such that maintenance or repair of the Scanner 14 over the total service life of the clothes dryer 2, that is to say over its entire service life, is not required. Customer service calls in this regard are therefore unnecessary.
  • the invention is not restricted to the present exemplary embodiment.
  • the invention can be used advantageously in particular in the professional field, that is to say in tumble dryers for professional use.
  • the other sliding contact can then abut, for example, directly on the outer surface of the drum shell of the drying drum.
  • This training is common in the professional field.
  • one of the contacts of the device for detecting the moisture content of the laundry does not abut the drum jacket, but rather on a drum base of the drying drum.
  • one of the contacts is not designed as a sliding contact. For example, it is conceivable to arrange such a contact on a drum cap of the drying drum.
