  • FIG; 9 is a fragmentary essentially diagrammatical view showing a modified inlet ,to the continuous dryer.
  • the continuous laundry dryer includes a base frame 1, one end of which is connected to a pivot support 2 and the other end of which is connected to a jack support 3 so that the base frame may be angularly adjusted.
  • each dryer unit is essentially the same as the dryer disclosed in the aforementioned previous US. Pat. Nos. 3,419,969 and 3,601,903.
  • Each dryer unit includes a fixed cylindrical outer shell 7 having annular end walls 8.
  • the initial dryer unit 4 is disposed on the base frame at its end having the jack support 3.
  • the upper portion of the outer shell 7 of each dryer unit is covered by a semicircular entrance duct 9 and the shell is provided with a slot 10 and perforations 11 for passage of air into the shell.
  • the entrance duct 9 is connected to a vertically directed air intake 12 which receives heated air from a heater or burner 13 connected to a blower 14.
  • the bottom side of each shell 7 communicates with a discharge chamber 15 connected to a discharge duct 16 which may be provided with a suction fan 17.
  • each shell 7 Suitably journaled within each shell 7 as more fully disclosed in the aforementioned patents is a rotatable drum 18, the major portion of which is cylindrical and joined to frusto-conical end portions 19 and forms internally a drying zone.-The drum 18 including its end portions is provided with perforations20 so that air entering the upper side of the shell 7 passes through the drum and into the discharge chamber located under the shell.
  • Each dryer unit is provided with a mounting frame 21 which is joined by adjustable screws or other means 22 to the base frame 1 so that each dryer unit may be posi tioned in predetermined angular relation to the base frame.
  • One of the end walls 8 of the initial dryer unit 4 is provided with an inlet opening 23 to receive laundry.
  • This end wall is enclosed in an inlet hood 24 closed at its lower side by a belt conveyor 25.
  • the hood 24 forms with the conveyor 25 an entrance end 26 which receives a closure 27.
  • the closure 27 includes a hinged panel 28, at the lower end of which is journaled a large compliant roller 29 which engages and conforms to laundry carried by the conveyor 25 into the initial dryer unit. as suggested in FIG. 8.
  • the roller is joined of soft porous plastic material covered by a skin 29a and complies or conforms to the laundry indicated by 2312.
  • the roller may be an inflated cylinder provided with suitable webs, not shown, to maintain an essentially cylindrical shape until pressed inwardly by the laundry.
  • a supply conveyor 30 delivers the laundry to the conveyor 25.
  • the confronting end walls of the dryer units 4, and 6 are spaced slightly and this space is closed by a sealing ring 31, omitted from FIG. 2, but shown in FIG. 3. Because of the small scale of the drawings, the spacing between dryer units is exaggerated. Also the preceeding dryer unit is provided with a cylindrical bridging ring 32 forming an opening to communicate with the succeeding dryer unit.
  • the final dryer unit 6 is provided with an outlet opening 33 which is enclosed by an outlet hood 34 having at its lower side a belt conveyor 35.
  • the outlet hood 34 is provided with a discharge end 36 which receives a closure 37 comprising hinged panel 38 and a compliant roller 39.
  • the discharge duct 16 of the final dryer unit 6 is connected by a branch duct 40 to the outlet hood 34.
  • a diverter vane 41 is located at the entrance end of the branch duct 40 so that the corresponding suction fan 17 may be connected either to the discharge duct 16 or to the branch duct 40.
  • Laundry to be dried is delivered on the conveyor 30.
  • the laundry may be separated pieces or may be delivered in bundles which have been compressed to squeeze out excess water.
  • the conveyor 25 and the lower side of the inlet opening 23 may be lowered to permit passage of a bundle into the initial dryer unit 4 as indicated by broken lines in FIG. 2.
  • the initial dryer unit 4 is set into operation before receiving the laundry; that is, rotation of its drum is commenced and heated air is circulated.
  • the remaining dryer units 4 and 5 are also started either simultaneously with the dryer unit 4 or in sequence.
  • the laundry is continuously or intermittently fed into the first drum and tends, by reason of the frusto-conical end portions 19, to remain in the drum until the quantity of laundry approaches the capacity of the drum.
  • the subsequent dryer unit 5 which has not as yet received laundry contains air at a reduced pressure by reason of free flow into the discharge chamber 15 and through the fan 17. As a result there is a flow of air from the dryer unit 4 to the dryer unit 5 which carries with it the laundry. As the laundry accumulates in the dryer unit 5 there is again a build-up of pressure in the dryer unit 5 causing transfer to the dryer unit 6.
  • Equilibrium tends to be established when the laundry is distributed through the three dryer units.
  • the rate of transfer may be controlled; that is, the greater the incline of the base frame the more rapid will be'the progress of laundry through the series of dryers.
  • a further control over the axial movement of the laundry is attained by individually adjusting the dryer units relative to the average incline determined'by the base frame 1. This adjustment is accomplished by the adjustment screws 22. For purposes of illustration the angular relationship between the dryer units has been exaggerated.
  • thebase frame may be inclined 0 49'.
  • the initial dryer unit 4 is disposed with its axis horizontal; that is, relative to the base frame its angle is 0 49 in the opposite direction.
  • the second dryer unit 5 is inclined 0 14' with respect to the horizontal; that is, 0 35 with respect to the frame and the final dryer unit 6 is inclined 2 06' with respect to the opposite direction horizontal; that is, l 17 relative to the base frame.
  • This angular relation between the dryer units may be maintained; then, by varying the angle of the base frame, the degree of dryness may be controlled.
  • By raising the base frame until its angle is 1 38' for example, which increases the angles of the dryer units proportionably, the laundry as discharged from the dryer unit 6 is in a semi-dry condition. It should be understood that the indicated angles are merely representative.
  • the dryer When it is desired to terminate operation of the dryer, the dryer is permitted to operate for a predetermined few minutes after the laundry supply is discontinned.
  • the heater 13, the blowers l4 and 17 serving dryer unit 4 are turned off. This causes the pressure in dryer unit 4 to raise to atmospheric pressure, creating air flow which advances the laundry into dryer unit 5.
  • the heater l3 and blowers 14 and 17 of dryer unit 5 are shut off causing transfer of laundry into dryer unit 6. Because of the greater inclination of dryer unit 6, when the heater l3 and blowers 14 and 17 of dryer unit 6 are shut off, the laundry will continue to advance onto the conveyor 35. However, some residual laundry might remain in dryer 6, particularly light weight pieces; should the angular position of the dryer 6 be reduced, this may occur. This condition is prevented by permitting the blower 17 to continue and diverting air into duct 40, using the flap valve 41.
  • Further control of movement of laundry from one unit to the succeeding unit may be accomplished by providing a curtain of air between the dryer units 4 and 5 and between the dryer units 5 and'6. This may be accomplishedjby' an air curtain system 42 shown in FIG. 7.
  • a perforated bridging ring 43 is provided in place of the bridging ring 32.
  • a sealing web 44 is provided between the dryer units. The sealing web defining an upper inlet chamber 45 and a lower outlet chamber 46. The chambers are connected by a duct 48 in which is interposed, ablower 49.
  • the air curtain systems may be operated continuously or intermittently. The effect is to reduce air transferbetween the dryer units thus delaying transferof laundry to the succeeding unit.
  • a hopper 50 may be used in place of the hood 22 and the conveyor 30 may discharge directly into the hopper 50.
  • the upper side is closed by a gate 51 which may be spring biased to normally occupy a closed upper position, but movable downwardly by the weight of laundry or by a hydraulic actuator, not shown, may be used.
  • a continuous laundry dryer comprising:
  • each dryer unit including a rotatable tumbler drum having an approximately horizontal axis and open at its axial ends, meansdisposed externally of the drum for introducing heated'air into the drum for contact with laundry contained within the drum, and means also disposed externally of the drum for extraction of air from the drum;

  • each dryer unit including a rotatable tumbler drum having an approximately horizontalaxis and open at its axial ends, means disposed externally of the drum for introducing heated air into the drum for contact with laundry contained within the drum, and means also disposed externally of the drum for extraction of air from the drum;
  • a continuous laundry dryer comprising: i j
  • a. a dryer structure having an. entrance end anda discharge end, and including therebetween at least a one dryer drum disposed with its axis inclined to move laundry from the entrance end toward the discharge end and means for circulating heated air through the dryer drum;
  • a laundry introducing means and laundry discharge means each including a tubular hood enclosing the entrance end and discharge end respectively of the dryer structure, a conveyor at the bottom side of the hood, aclosure for the hood having a frame hinged to the upper side of the hood, and a complient rollerzsuspended therefrom and dimensioned to conform substantially to laundry passing through the hood on the conveyor to or.from the dryer structure while restraining escape of air from the ends'of the dryerstructure.
  • the dryer structure includes a series of dryer drums arranged. in tandem;
  • the dryer drums include restricted entrance and exit ends tending to cause an initial build-up of laundry in each drum before movement of laundry to a succeeding drum.
  • each dryer drum is provided with a separate heated air circulating means;
  • the air circulating means of the final dryer drum adjacent the discharge end hood is provided with a bypass duct communicating with the discharge end hood;
