Description

Trockenanlage drying plant
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Trockenanlage, insbesondere zum Trocknen von Gegenständen wie Kleidungsstücken und Ausrüstungsgegenständen, wobei die Gegenstände auf Trockenbügel aufhängbar oder ablegbar sind. The invention relates to a drying system, in particular for drying objects such as clothing and pieces of equipment, the objects being able to be hung up or placed on drying hangers.
Derartige T rockenanlagen sind im Stand der T echnik für das T rocknen von Kleidungsstücken bekannt. Die Kleidungsstücke sind bevorzugt Berufsbekleidungen wie z. B. für die Feuerwehr, Bergwerksunternehmen, Militär, ärztliche Unternehmen etc. Die Trockenanlagen weisen üblicherweise aus Rohren gebildete Trockenbügel auf, deren Form ungefähr an das zu trocknende Kleidungsstück angepasst ist. In einer Ausführungsform weisen die Trockenbügel mehrere Luftauslassöffnungen auf, durch welche durch das Rohr geleitete gegebenenfalls erwärmte Druckluft strömen und aus den Luftauslassöffnungen entweichen kann. Somit ist es möglich, Kleidungsstücke und Einsatzbekleidung wie Helme, Masken etc. von innen, bzw. durch entstehende Luftverwirbelung an den Luftauslassöffnungen an den Trockenbügeln auch von außen zu trocknen. Dies ist besonders bei Spezialkleidungen notwendig, die wasserundurchlässig sind und aus schweren Materialien bestehen. Diese Materialien trocknen nur langsam, wenn nicht besondere spezielle Trocknungsvorrichtungen verwendet werden. Drying systems of this type are known in the prior art for drying items of clothing. The garments are preferably workwear such. B. for the fire brigade, mining companies, military, medical companies, etc. The drying systems usually have drying hangers formed from tubes, the shape of which is approximately adapted to the garment to be dried. In one embodiment, the drying hanger has a plurality of air outlet openings, through which compressed air, which is conducted through the tube and possibly heated, can flow and escape from the air outlet openings. It is therefore possible to dry items of clothing and protective clothing such as helmets, masks, etc. from the inside or, due to the air turbulence that occurs at the air outlet openings on the drying hangers, also from the outside. This is particularly necessary for special clothing that is waterproof and made of heavy materials. These materials are slow to dry unless special drying equipment is used.
Bekannte Trocknungsanlagen weisen in vielen Fällen ein Gestell oder einen nach vorne offenen Kasten auf, in dessen oberem Bereich ein Luftverteilerrohr geführt ist, welches einerseits Warmluft den Trockenbügeln zuleiten kann und welches andererseits auch als Aufhängevorrichtung für die Trockenbügel dient. Derartige Trockenvorrichtungen arbeiten in der Regel mit Trockenlufttemperaturen zwischen 30° C und 50° C, sodass einerseits der gewünschte Trocknungseffekt erzielt wird und andererseits die Kleidungsstücke nicht durch zu hohe Temperaturen beschädigt werden. In many cases, known drying systems have a frame or a box open to the front, in the upper area of which an air distribution pipe is guided, which on the one hand can supply warm air to the drying irons and which on the other hand also serves as a suspension device for the drying irons. Drying devices of this type generally work with drying air temperatures between 30° C. and 50° C., so that on the one hand the desired drying effect is achieved and on the other hand the items of clothing are not damaged by temperatures that are too high.
Die Erfahrung zeigt, dass es notwendig sein kann, derartige Kleidungsstücke und zugehörige Ausrüstungsgegenstände höheren Temperaturen auszusetzen, um Bakterien, Mikroorganismen und Viren zu bekämpfen und letztendlich zu zerstören. Dadurch soll die Sicherheit des Trägers des Kleidungsstückes und der gesamten Umgebung hergestellt werden, auch wenn z. B. in Situationen hoher Virenbelastung gearbeitet wird, wie dies beispielsweise bei ärztlichem Personal und bei Rettungspersonal aber auch bei Feuerwehren der Fall sein kann. Experience shows that it may be necessary to expose such garments and associated equipment to higher temperatures to combat and ultimately destroy bacteria, microorganisms and viruses. This is to ensure the safety of the wearer of the garment and the entire environment, even if z. B. is worked in situations of high virus load, as can be the case, for example, with medical staff and rescue workers but also with fire brigades.
Die vorliegende Erfindung löst die Aufgabe, bei einer Trockenanlage die notwendige höhere Temperatur zu erzielen, die üblicherweise zwischen 60° C und 80° C liegen soll und trotzdem die Trocknung mit niedrigerer Lufttemperatur durchführen zu können. Eine Temperatur in der Höhe bis zu 80° C wäre für die Trockenlufttemperatur, die in die Kleidungsstücke eingeleitet werden soll, zu hoch. The present invention solves the problem of achieving the necessary higher temperature in a drying system, which should usually be between 60° C. and 80° C., and still being able to carry out the drying at a lower air temperature. A temperature as high as 80°C would be too high for the drying air temperature to be introduced into the garments.
Gemäß vorliegender Erfindung werden die Trockenbügel in einem thermisch isolierten Trockenschrank angeordnet der zusätzlich beheizbar ist. Somit können die Kleidungsstücke und Ausrüstungsgegenstände am Trockenbügel befestigt in den Trockenschrank eingehängt werden, der zusätzlich beheizbar ist. Zur Energieersparnis ist der Trockenschrank thermisch isoliert. According to the present invention, the drying hangers are arranged in a thermally insulated drying cabinet which can also be heated. This means that the items of clothing and equipment can be attached to the drying hanger and hung in the drying cabinet, which can also be heated. The drying cabinet is thermally insulated to save energy.
Nach einem weiteren Merkmal ist der Trockenschrank mit einem Boden, einer Decke, linken und rechten Seitenwänden einer Rückwand und einer öffenbaren und schließbaren Vorderwand versehen. According to a further feature, the drying cabinet is provided with a floor, a ceiling, left and right side walls, a rear wall and an openable and closable front wall.
Gegebenenfalls sind die Trockenbügel im Trockenschrank von einem Warmluftgebläse mit Warmluft beschickbar oder beschickt, wobei die Trockenbügel in ihrem Verlauf mit einer oder mehreren Luftaustrittsöffnungen versehen sind. Gegebenenfalls ist das Warmluftgebläse außen, bevorzugt auf der Decke oder auch im Inneren des Trockenschrankes, angeordnet und eine Luftleitung ist vom Warmluftgebläse zu einem Luftverteilerrohr geführt, an dem die Trockenbügel im Inneren des Trockenschrankes angeschlossen oder anschließbar sind. If necessary, the drying hangers in the drying cabinet can be or are being charged with hot air from a hot air blower, the drying hangers being provided with one or more air outlet openings along their length. If necessary, the hot air fan is arranged outside, preferably on the ceiling or inside the drying cabinet, and an air line is routed from the hot air fan to an air distribution pipe to which the drying hangers are connected or can be connected inside the drying cabinet.
Gegebenenfalls ist zur Beheizung des Trockenschrankes innen eine Heizvorrichtung angeordnet, bevorzugt im Bodenbereich oder auch an der Decke oder an den Seiten. Die Heizvorrichtung kann eine Elektroheizung sein. Gegebenenfalls ist die Heizvorrichtung ein Heißluftgebläse. If necessary, a heating device is arranged inside the drying cabinet for heating, preferably in the floor area or also on the ceiling or on the sides. The heating device can be an electric heater. Optionally, the heating device is a hot air blower.
Gegebenenfalls ist die Heizvorrichtung für eine Schranktemperatur zwischen 60° und 80° C, bevorzugt 65° bis 70° C eingerichtet. Das Warmluftgebläse ist für eine Trockenlufttemperatur zwischen 30° und 60° C, bevorzugt 40° bis 50° C eingerichtet, gegebenenfalls auch bis 80° C. If necessary, the heating device is set up for a cabinet temperature between 60° and 80°C, preferably 65° to 70°C.

Die Erfindung ist weiters auch durch ein Verfahren zum Trocknen und Dekontaminieren von Gegenständen wie Kleidungsstücken und Ausrüstungsgegenständen gekennzeichnet, und zwar bevorzugt unter Verwendung der oben beschriebenen Trockenanlage. The invention is further characterized by a method for drying and decontaminating objects such as clothing and equipment, preferably using the drying system described above.
Im Nachfolgenden wird die Erfindung beispielhaft anhand der Figuren näher beschrieben. The invention is described in more detail below by way of example with reference to the figures.
Fig. 1 zeigt eine Schrägansicht des Trockenschranks. Fig. 2 zeigt eine Schrägansicht des aufgebrochenen Trockenschranks mit Darstellung der Innenausrüstung. Fig. 1 shows an oblique view of the drying cabinet. Fig. 2 shows an oblique view of the open drying cabinet showing the interior equipment.
Die Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen nähere Details der beiden Hälften des Trockenschranks mit Darstellung des Bodenbereiches. Figures 3 and 4 show more detail of the two halves of the drying cabinet showing the bottom area.
Fig. 5 zeigt eine Alternative des Bodenbereiches eines Trockenschrankes in rein schematischer Darstellung. FIG. 5 shows an alternative of the bottom area of a drying cabinet in a purely schematic representation.
Gemäß Fig. 1 umfasst die Trockenanlage einen Trockenschrank 1 , der im Wesentlichen einen Boden 2, eine Decke 3, linke Seitenwand 4 und rechte Seitenwand 5 und eine Vorderwand 6 aufweist, wobei die Vorderwand 6 aus zwei Türen, eventuell auch Schiebetüren, besteht, die öffenbar und schließbar sind. Durch Öffnen der Vorderwand 6 ist ungehindert der Zugriff auf das Innere des Trockenschranks 1 ermöglicht. Die Rückwand ist mit 24 bezeichnet. According to Fig. 1, the drying system comprises a drying cabinet 1, which essentially has a floor 2, a ceiling 3, left side wall 4 and right side wall 5 and a front wall 6, the front wall 6 consisting of two doors, possibly also sliding doors, which are openable and closable. Opening the front wall 6 allows unimpeded access to the interior of the drying cabinet 1 . The rear wall is denoted by 24.
Weiters sieht man in Fig. 1 noch das Warmluftgebläse 7, welches bevorzugt einen hochwertigen Elektromotor beinhaltet und die erzeugte Warmluft über die Luftleitung 8 in das Innere des Trockenschranks 1 leitet. Bevorzugt kommt ein Warmluftgebläse 7 in Verwendung, welches nicht nur den starken benötigten Luftstrom erzeugt, sondern auch die notwendige Wärme abgibt. Dazu kann, wie in Fig. 1 dargestellt, der Motor samt Ventilator in ein Gehäuse 25 eingehüllt sein, sodass die Motorwärme nicht ungenutzt abströmt sondern zur Erwärmung des Luftstroms dient. Diese Konstruktion ist energiesparend und verhindert auch ein zu starkes Aufheizen der Umgebungsluft, was insbesondere auch in Mannschaftsräumen gewünscht wird. 1 also shows the hot air blower 7 , which preferably contains a high-quality electric motor and directs the hot air generated into the interior of the drying cabinet 1 via the air duct 8 . A hot air blower 7 is preferably used, which not only generates the strong air flow required, but also gives off the necessary heat. For this purpose, as shown in FIG. 1, the motor together with the fan can be encased in a housing 25 so that the heat from the motor does not escape unused but is used to heat the air flow. This construction saves energy and also prevents the ambient air from heating up too much, which is particularly desirable in crew quarters.
Selbstverständlich ist es auch möglich und im Bereich der Erfindung, ein Luftgebläse vorzusehen, welches anders angeordnet ist, z. B. getrennt vom Trockenschrank 1 , und welches in der Luftleitung 8 eine Heizquelle aufweist, um die gewünschte Temperatur der Trockenluft zu erzeugen. Of course it is also possible and within the scope of the invention to provide an air blower which is arranged differently, e.g. B. separate from the drying cabinet 1, and which has a heat source in the air line 8 to generate the desired temperature of the drying air.
Zum Entlüften des Trockenschranks 1 ist eine Entlüftungsöffnung 23 angeordnet, die hier beispielsweise an der Decke 3 sitzt, oder auch anders angeordnet sein kann. A ventilation opening 23 is arranged for venting the drying cabinet 1, which is located here, for example, on the ceiling 3, or can also be arranged differently.

T rockenluft des Warmluftgebläses 7 gespeist. Die T rockenbügel 11 , 12 weisen über ihre Länge verteilt Luftaustrittsöffnungen 14 auf, durch die die Trockenluft in das Innere der aufgehängten Kleidungsstücke oder allseitig an die Ausrüstungsgegenstände herangeführt werden kann. Dry air of the hot air blower 7 fed. The drying hangers 11, 12 have air outlet openings 14 distributed over their length, through which the drying air can be guided into the interior of the hanging items of clothing or to the items of equipment on all sides.
Die Trockenbügel 11 sind am Luftverteilerrohr 13 mittels einer Kupplung 15 befestigt, die ein leichtes Einhängen und Aushängen des Trockenbügels 11 erlaubt und den Zutritt der Trockenluft gestattet. The drying hangers 11 are attached to the air distribution pipe 13 by means of a coupling 15, which allows easy hooking and unhooking of the drying hanger 11 and allows access of the drying air.
Im Bodenbereich des Trockenschranks 1 ist eine Heizvorrichtung 16 vorgesehen, die im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel durch elektrische Heizschlangen gebildet ist. Nach oben hin ist die Heizvorrichtung 16 durch ein Gitter 21 abgedeckt, sodass die Heissluft leicht nach oben strömen und den gesamten Trockenschrankinhalt aufwärmen kann. Die Heizvorrichtung 16 kann auch an anderen Stellen innen im Trockenschrank 1 angeordnet sein, beispielsweise an den Seitenwänden 4, 5 oder an der Decke 3. In the bottom area of the drying cabinet 1, a heating device 16 is provided, which is formed by electric heating coils in the present embodiment. The heating device 16 is covered at the top by a grid 21, so that the hot air can easily flow upwards and heat up the entire contents of the drying cabinet. The heating device 16 can also be arranged at other points inside the drying cabinet 1, for example on the side walls 4, 5 or on the ceiling 3.
Selbstverständlich muss die Heizvorrichtung 16 mit entsprechenden elektrischen Anschlüssen und Schaltvorrichtungen versehen sein, die hier nur zum Teil dargestellt werden. Of course, the heating device 16 must be provided with appropriate electrical connections and switching devices, only some of which are shown here.
Die rechte Seitenwand 5 trägt in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel die entsprechenden Bedienelemente, um die Trockenanlage betreiben zu können. Unter den Elementen befindet sich z. B. eine Temperaturanzeige 17, Thermostat 18 mit seinenIn this exemplary embodiment, the right-hand side wall 5 carries the corresponding operating elements in order to be able to operate the drying system. Among the Elements is located e.g. B. a temperature display 17, thermostat 18 with its
Schaltelementen und eine Schaltuhr 19. Die Bedienelemente können aber auch im Türbereich oder oberhalb der Türe mit sichtbarer Wärmeüberwachung angeordnet sein. Switching elements and a timer 19. The controls can also be arranged in the door area or above the door with visible heat monitoring.
Die Schaltuhr und die zugehörigen Anzeige- und Schaltelemente können Bestandteil einer elektronischen Steuerung sein, die entweder am Trockenschrank angebracht ist oder als tragbares Elektronikschaltgerät ausgebildet sein kann, welches über eine Steckverbindung oder ein Interface anschließbar ist. The timer and the associated display and switching elements can be part of an electronic controller that is either attached to the drying cabinet or can be designed as a portable electronic switching device that can be connected via a plug connection or an interface.
Fig. 3 und 4 zeigen jeweils die linke und rechte Hälfte des Trockenschranks 1 , wobei auch die jeweiligen Türen der Vorderwand 6 eingezeichnet sind. Die jeweils gleichen oder gleichwirkenden Teile sind mit gleichen Bezugszeichen bezeichnet. 3 and 4 each show the left and right halves of the drying cabinet 1, with the respective doors of the front wall 6 also being drawn in. The same or equivalent parts are denoted by the same reference symbols.
Fig. 5 zeigt beispielsweise eine andere Möglichkeit für die Ausbildung der Heizvorrichtung 16. Wie zeichnerisch dargestellt, handelt es sich dabei um ein Heissluftgebläse, welches die Heissluft durch das Zufuhrrohr 20 in den unteren Bereich, also den Bodenbereich, des Trockenschranks 1 einbläst. Die Beheizung kann beispielsweise durch eine Heizmanschette 22 erfolgen, die elektrisch gespeist wird. Auch hier kann der Bodenbereich durch ein Gitter 21 abgetrennt sein. 5 shows, for example, another possibility for the design of the heating device 16. As shown in the drawing, this is a hot air blower which blows the hot air through the supply pipe 20 into the lower area, i.e. the floor area, of the drying cabinet 1. The heating can be done, for example, by a heating sleeve 22 that is electrically powered. Here, too, the floor area can be separated by a grid 21 .
Der Vorgang beim Trocknen von Kleidungsstücken und Ausrüstungsgegenständen kann beispielsweise wie folgt ablaufen: For example, the process of drying clothing and equipment can be as follows:
Vorerst werden die Kleidungsstücke auf die Trockenbügel 11 so aufgehängt, dass jeder Trockenbügel 11 möglichst in alle Teile der Kleidungsstücke hineinragt. Die Schuhe oder Ausrüstungsgegenstände werden auf den rechts dargestellten Trockenbügeln 12 aufgehängt oder aufgelegt. First of all, the items of clothing are hung on the drying hangers 11 in such a way that each drying hanger 11 extends as far as possible into all parts of the items of clothing. The shoes or pieces of equipment are hung or placed on the drying hangers 12 shown on the right.
Sodann wird der Trockenschrank 1 geschlossen und die Heizvorrichtung 16 auf die gewünschte Temperatur von etwa 60° bis 80° C, bevorzugt 65° bis 70° C eingestellt. Weiters wird die Schaltuhr 19 betätigt, um beispielsweise die Erhitzungszeit bis zum Erreichen der gewünschten Trockenzeit, beispielsweise von etwa einer Stunde, einzustellen. Nach Ende der Erhitzungszeit schaltet sich die Heizvorrichtung 16 ab und das Warmluftgebläse 7 beginnt, die etwa auf 30° bis 60° C, bevorzugt 40° bis 50° C erwärmte Trockenluft in die Luftverteilerrohre 13 und die daran angeschlossenen Trockenbügel 11 , 12 zu blasen. Die Trockendauer muss von den jeweiligen Umständen abhängig gemacht werden. Then the drying cabinet 1 is closed and the heating device 16 is set to the desired temperature of about 60° to 80°C, preferably 65° to 70°C. Furthermore, the timer 19 is actuated, for example, to set the heating time until the desired drying time is reached, for example about one hour. After the end of the heating time, the heating device 16 switches off and the hot air blower 7 begins to blow the dry air, which has been heated to about 30° to 60° C., preferably 40° to 50° C., into the air distribution pipes 13 and the drying irons 11, 12 connected to them. The drying time must be made dependent on the particular circumstances.
