Definitions

  • the invention is in the field of laundry treatment machines, such as in particular tumble dryer or combination devices, so-called washer-dryer, and relates to a filter device for a laundry treatment machine.
  • the invention further relates to a laundry treatment machine containing such a filter device.
  • Such filter devices are for example from the DE 10 2014 225 905 A1 or the WO 2015/89085 A1 known.
  • the EP 2 455 537 A1 describes a clothes dryer with a rotatably mounted in a housing drum, a closable by a door feed opening and a fan and a heater for generating a process air stream flowing through a heat exchanger.
  • the housing has in its front wall on an inspection flap, through which a filter device is accessible.
  • the filter device is seen upstream of the heat exchanger along the process air flow, ie in the direction of the flowing process air flow, and has a filter device with a removable filter element (filter element).
  • the invention provides a filter device for a laundry treatment machine which can be easily introduced into the process air circuit of the laundry treatment machine and effectively prevents a bypass flow past the filter and a laundry treatment machine with such a filter device.
  • a filter device for a laundry treatment machine which has at least one usable in the laundry treating machine sealing insert, wherein the filter device has at least one insertable into the laundry treatment machine filter carrier with a filter element, the sealing insert independently of the filter carrier from the laundry treatment machine removed is, the filter element in the inserted state in the axial direction tightly against a rear side of the sealing insert, and on the sealing insert a radial elastic sealing lip is provided which seals the sealing insert in the inserted state against a process air duct of the laundry treatment machine.
  • This design of the filter device provides an axial seal of the filter element, ie in the insertion direction of the filter element: By inserting the foam between its support member and the axial sealing seat on the sealing insert is compressed and thus securely fixed in its desired position.
  • the sealing insert seals to the ambient component, the process air duct leading to the heat exchanger, through a sealing system in the form of the radial sealing lip and at the same time provides the axial sealing seat for the foam.
  • the radial sealing lip can be completely interrupted on a short piece, the wall thickness of the radial Sealing lip sections, be reduced and / or the lip height may be varied.
  • an axial holding rib is formed in the filter device on a rear side facing the flow direction of the sealing insert, circumferentially around a flow opening. This prevents the material of the filter element from lifting off the back or the edge of the filter element slips into the flow opening and may form a bypass flow between the filter element and the back of the seal insert.
  • At least one support web is provided on the sealing insert at the filter device, which divides the throughflow opening into at least two parts. This prevents that the filter element is deformed under the axial load by the process air flow, in particular bulged.
  • the filter device has a collecting tray for insertion into a process air duct of the laundry treatment machine, on which the sealing insert is pivotally mounted.
  • an obliquely upwardly directed ramp edge may be formed on the bottom group of the laundry treatment device in the region of the process air channel, along which the sealing insert slides when the sealing trough is inserted.
  • the sealing insert which rests in the removed state substantially flat on the drip pan, pivoted relative to the same and thus erect until it comes to its end position.
  • the filter element is designed as a sandwich filter mat.
  • a process air flow guide for guiding a process air flow through the laundry drum and downstream along the process air flow of the laundry drum heat exchanger disposed between the laundry drum and the heat exchanger in the process air flow filter device of the aforementioned type is provided.
  • the laundry treatment machine is a tumble dryer.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a laundry treatment machine according to an embodiment of the invention in the form of a tumble dryer 10.
  • the tumble dryer 10 has a housing 12 in which a laundry drum 14 is mounted.
  • a loading door 16 closes a charging opening through which laundry (not shown) to be dried can be inserted into the laundry drum 14.
  • FIG. 1 In the front of the housing 12 an inspection opening with a flap 18 is provided ( FIG. 1 ), which in the opened state releases the access to a filter device 30, which is described in more detail below.
  • a process air stream 20 is guided in a process air flow guide, the elements in FIG. 2 are shown in a schematic section through the tumble dryer 10.
  • the heated in a heater 21 process air is performed in a conventional manner in a circuit by means of a blower 22 through the laundry drum 14 and then to a heat exchanger 24.
  • a filter device 30 is provided on the flow side in front of the heat exchanger 24, a filter device 30 is provided.
  • the moist process air is passed through a suction channel 26 from the laundry drum 14 via the filter device 30 in a process air channel 28, in which the heat exchanger 24 is housed.
  • the process air channel 28 in a floor assembly 29 formed, which is designed as a plastic part and also other components, such as the fan 22 and a compressor (not shown) can accommodate and forms the foundation of the tumble dryer 10.
  • the filter device 30 which in the Figures 3 and 4 is shown in more detail, in the embodiment shown on a sealing insert 32 and a filter support 34 with a filter element 36 made of an open-cell foam.
  • the sealing insert 32 is pivotally mounted on a collecting trough 38, which is inserted into the process air duct 28 for operating the tumble dryer and protrudes under the heat exchanger 24 to collect by means of a flushing device (not shown) from the heat exchanger 24 lint
  • the sealing insert 32 is formed as a substantially planar frame. As a frame, the sealing insert 32 naturally encloses a flow-through opening 44.
  • the main plane of the sealing insert 32 defines a front side 40 facing the heat exchanger and a rear side 42 facing away from the heat exchanger 24. With respect to the sealing insert, the directions parallel to the normal vector of the main plane are referred to as axial directions; Directions perpendicular to it as radial directions.
  • the sealing insert 32 flows through the flow-through opening 44 in a substantially axial direction, toward the heat exchanger 24, ie from the rear side 42 to the front side 40.
  • a support web 46 is provided, which divides the flow-through opening 44 into two parts 44a and 44b.
  • a radial sealing lip 48 made of a flexible material is attached, which rests in the inserted state of the sealing insert 32 on the wall of the process air channel 28 ( FIG. 4 ). In FIG. 5 this can be seen in a section through the process air channel 28 and the sealing insert 32 with the radial sealing lip 48.
  • an axial retaining rib 50 is formed circumferentially around the two parts of the flow opening 44.
  • the filter support 34 forms, when it is inserted into the tumble dryer 10, a deflection channel 52 having an air inlet opening 54 and an air outlet opening 56 which directs the process air from the suction channel 26 into the process air channel 28. At the air outlet opening 56, the filter element 36 is attached.
  • FIGS 3 and 4 are the components of the filter device separately, ie taken from the dryer 10 shown.
  • the filter element 36 can be cleaned by the user, and the drip pan 38 can be emptied and cleaned.
  • a ramp edge 58 is formed in the bottom group 29 on the side walls of the process air channel 28, which rises obliquely upward in the direction of insertion.
  • the sealing insert 32 is received in the process air channel 28 so that it completely fills the cross section thereof.
  • the edge of the sealing insert 32 is adapted to the cross-section of the process air channel 28, that between the wall, more precisely, the inner wall of the latter and the edge remains a gap which is sufficiently wide to receive the sealing lip 48, but narrow enough that the radial sealing lip 48 of the inner wall of the process air channel 28 is elastically deformed.
  • the radial sealing lip 48 is then under tension against the inner wall of the process air channel 28.
  • the gap between the sealing insert 32 and the inner wall of the process air channel 28 is sealed.
  • the filter carrier 34 is inserted behind the sealing insert 32, so that the flow path between the suction channel 26 and the process air channel 28 is closed by the deflection channel 52 formed in the filter carrier 34.
  • the filter support 34 is then fixed by means of locking elements 60 in the bottom group 29 and covered by the flap 18 of the inspection opening.
  • the filter element 36 When inserted filter carrier 34, the filter element 36 is pressed against the back 42 of the sealing insert 32 and thus reliably fixed in its desired position.
  • the filter element 36 protrudes radially with respect to the flow direction beyond the flow-through opening 44 of the sealing insert 32 addition. In conjunction with the sealing of the sealing insert 32 against the inner wall of the process air channel 28 is thus ensured that the process air must flow completely through the filter element and a bypass, the filter element 36 over, is prevented.
  • the axial retaining rib 50 ensures that the filter element 36 receives additional support around the flow opening 44 by elastic deformation. This prevents a bypass flow possibly forming between the filter element 36 and the rear side 42 of the sealing insert 32, for example because the material of the filter element 36 lifts off the back 42 or the edge of the filter element slides into the flow opening 44.
  • the Dichtungssmony 32 thus seals the ambient component, the process air duct 28 by a sealing system, the radial sealing lip 48 and at the same time provides the axial sealing seat for the foam filter element 36th ⁇ B> reference numerals ⁇ / b> clothes dryer 10 casing 12 washing drum 14 loading door 16 flap 18 Process air flow 20 heater 21 fan 22 heat exchangers 24 suction 26 Process air channel 28 underbody 29 filtering device 30 sealing insert 32 filter support 34 filter element 36 drip tray 38 front 40 back 42 flow-through 44 supporting web 46 sealing lip 48 holding rib 50 diversion channel 52 Air inlet opening 54 Air outlet opening 56 ramp edge 58 locking elements 60
