La presente invención se refiere un aparato que ha sido especialmente concebido para el secado de ropa, consiguiendo paralelamente un alto nivel de "planchado" para Ia misma, obviamente tras su lavado, y que lleva a cabo su función aportando aire caliente a un recinto definido por Ia propia máquina, cerrado y aislado térmicamente del exterior, recinto en el que Ia ropa se ubica suspendida de perchas adecuadas, para conseguir el complementario efecto de planchado y donde Ia ropa es mantenida estirada por medio de Ia incorporación de medios de tensado de Ia ropa.The present invention relates to an apparatus that has been specially designed for drying clothes, achieving in parallel a high level of "ironing" for it, obviously after washing, and which performs its function by providing hot air to a defined enclosure. by the machine itself, closed and thermally insulated from the outside, enclosure in which the clothes are suspended from suitable hangers, to achieve the complementary ironing effect and where the clothes are kept stretched by means of the incorporation of tensioning means of the clothes.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
En numerosas ocasiones, tanto a nivel industrial como doméstico, cuando se lavan prendas resulta difícil conseguir el secado de las mismas, puesto que no se dispone del lugar adecuado ni del ambiente deseado para que Ia ropa se pueda secar por sí misma en períodos de tiempo relativamente cortos y en adecuadas condiciones.On numerous occasions, both industrially and domestically, when washing clothes it is difficult to achieve their drying, since there is no adequate place or the desired environment so that the clothes can dry on their own in periods of time relatively short and in adequate condition.
Para resolver este problema son conocidas máquinas secadoras, que con un aspecto similar al de una máquina lavadora convencional y provistas igualmente de medios de remoción para Ia ropa, como por ejemplo un tambor giratorio, suministran a Ia misma aire caliente para producir su rápido secado. Estas máquinas si bien cumplen de forma plenamente satisfactoria Ia función como secadoras, presentan en contrapartida y como problema fundamental el hecho de que Ia ropa queda totalmente arrugada después dθ su secado, Io que obliga a un importante trabajo de planchado posterior.To solve this problem, drying machines are known, which look similar to a conventional washing machine and also provide removal means for clothing, such as a rotating drum, supply the same hot air to produce rapid drying. Although these machines fully fulfill the function as dryers, they have in counterpart and as a fundamental problem the fact that the clothes are completely wrinkled after drying, which forces an important subsequent ironing work.
DESCRIPCIÓN DE LA INVENCIÓNDESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
La secadora-planchadora de ropa que Ia invención propone resuelve de forma plenamente satisfactoria Ia problemática anteriormente expuesta, de manera que permitiendo un rápido y eficaz secado de Ia ropa, al final de dicho secado dicha ropa queda planchada, prácticamente en condiciones de uso o, en el peor de los casos, con Ia necesidad de un planchado muy somero, en caso de que Ia prenda sea totalmente del 100% de algodón.The clothes dryer-ironer that the invention proposes solves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, so that allowing a quick and efficient drying of the clothes, at the end of said drying said clothes is ironed, practically in conditions of use or, in the worst case, with the need for a very shallow ironing, in case the garment is totally 100% cotton.
Para ello y de forma más concreta Ia secadora-planchadora que Ia invención propone está constituida a partir de un cuerpo básicamente prismático-rectangular, sin descartar cualquier otra configuración geométrica adecuada, dotado de una puerta frontal de acceso al exterior y aislado térmicamente en todo su perímetro, en cuyo interior y a nivel superior se establece una barra transversal, para el colgado de perchas de las que lógicamente quedará suspendida Ia ropa que se pretende secar, rematándose superiormente dicho cuerpo en una cúpula enrejillada bajo Ia que se establecen varias turbinas asistidas por respectivas resistencias electro- calefactoras y por sendos termostatos, de manera que ante un eventual sobrecalentamiento en una de dichas turbinas, por cualquier fallo electromecánico, se produce Ia automática parada de Ia misma, manteniéndose las restantes en funcionamiento.For this and in a more concrete way, the dryer-ironer that the invention proposes is constituted from a basically prismatic-rectangular body, without discarding any other suitable geometric configuration, equipped with a front exterior access door and thermally insulated in all its perimeter, in whose interior and at a higher level a transverse bar is established, for hanging hangers from which the clothes that are intended to dry will logically be suspended, said body being topped off in a grated dome under which several turbines assisted by respective are established electro-heating resistors and by two thermostats, so that in the event of an overheating in one of said turbines, due to any electromechanical failure, the automatic shutdown of the same occurs, keeping the remaining ones in operation.
Estas turbinas introducen aire caliente en el seno del cuerpo, debidamente orientado hacia Ia ropa colgada de las perchas, y el aire húmedo sale al exterior del cuerpo a través de conductos laterales e internos que, recogiendo el aire de Ia zona inferior del cuerpo, Io canalizan hacia Ia cúpula enrejillada superior, preferentemente por detrás de Ia zona de acceso de aire ambiental a las turbinas.These turbines introduce hot air into the body, duly oriented towards the clothes hanging from the hangers, and the humid air exits to the outside of the body through lateral and internal ducts that, collecting the air from the lower area of the body, channel it towards the upper gridded dome, preferably behind The zone of access of ambient air to the turbines.
Un dispositivo de control permite Ia puesta en marcha y Ia parada de Ia secadora-planchadora, así como una programación tanto del tiempo de funcionamiento como de Ia temperatura en el interior del propio cuerpo.A control device allows the start-up and stop of the dryer-ironer, as well as a programming of both the operating time and the temperature inside the body itself.
Para efectuar perfectamente Ia operación de planchado de Ia ropa, se cuenta con Ia ayuda de dispositivos de estiramiento de Ia ropa, como pueden ser gomas que directamente o a través de accesorios, estiran desde Ia parte inferior del aparato a las mangas y otras partes de las prendas, con el fin de que durante el proceso de secado Ia ropa esté perfectamente tensada y salga completamente sin arrugas.In order to perfectly perform the ironing operation of the clothes, there is the aid of stretching devices of the clothes, such as gums that directly or through accessories, stretch from the bottom of the apparatus to the sleeves and other parts of the garments, so that during the drying process the clothes are perfectly tensioned and leave completely without wrinkles.
Estas gomas o medios de estiramiento, pueden ser sustituidos por pesos con los que se consigue el mismo estiramiento.These rubbers or stretching means can be replaced by weights with which the same stretching is achieved.
De acuerdo con otra de las características de Ia invención se ha previsto que en el fondo del cuerpo se sitúe una bandeja colectora de agua desprendida de Ia ropa, tras su colgado de Ia barra de sustentación, que dicha bandeja esté dotada de una rejilla superior que impide el contacto directo con el agua, y que dicha bandeja esté asistida por un presostato que interrumpe el funcionamiento de Ia máquina cuando el peso de dicha bandeja sobrepasa un valor preestablecido.In accordance with another of the characteristics of the invention, it is provided that at the bottom of the body a water collecting tray detached from the clothes is placed, after its hanging from the lift bar, that said tray is provided with an upper rack that prevents direct contact with water, and that said tray is assisted by a pressure switch that interrupts the operation of the machine when the weight of said tray exceeds a preset value.
La citada bandeja carece de desagüe por cuanto que Ia eliminación del agua residual se produce por simple evaporación, concretamente por el efecto del aire que, a través de Ia rejilla, Incide sobre Ia masa de agua alojada en Ia bandeja.Said tray lacks drainage because the elimination of residual water is produced by simple evaporation, specifically by the effect of the air that, through the grid, affects the mass of water housed in the tray.
Se ha previsto Ia incorporación de sendos ventiladores muy potentes de tipo centrifugado, con los que se crea un movimiento forzado del aire dentro de Ia secadora-planchadora que disminuye el tiempo de permanencia de Ia ropa dentro de Ia citada máquina.The incorporation of two very powerful centrifugal fans has been provided, with which a forced movement of the air is created within the dryer-ironer that decreases the residence time of the clothes within said machine.
Por último, decir que Ia invención se centra en otros aspectos como son:Finally, say that the invention focuses on other aspects such as:
-En primer lugar dispone Ia secadora-planchadora de Ia invención, un regulador de velocidad de las turbinas que introducen el aire caliente en el seno del cuerpo de Ia secadora-planchadora, Io cual propicia una mayor cantidad de aire sobre las prendas a secar y planchar con Io que se acelera el proceso.-In the first place there is the dryer-ironer of the invention, a speed regulator of the turbines that introduce the hot air into the body of the dryer-ironer, which favors a greater amount of air on the clothes to be dried and iron with what speeds up the process.
-En segundo lugar, una mayor velocidad del aire permite vaciar Ia humedad del recinto de secado y planchado, ya que a una mayor velocidad del aire, Ie corresponde una menor humedad dentro del recinto y por tanto, incidiendo sobremanera sobre las condiciones de secado y planchado.-Secondly, a higher air velocity allows the humidity of the drying and ironing room to be emptied, since at a higher air velocity, a lower humidity corresponds within the enclosure and therefore, greatly affecting the drying conditions and ironing
El regulador de velocidad del aire, puede ser un regulador continuo y progresivo, o bien un regulador con varios puntos fijos de velocidad preestablecida, según se desee en Ia aplicación.The air speed regulator can be a continuous and progressive regulator, or a regulator with several fixed pre-set speed points, as desired in the application.

REALIZACIÓN PREFERENTE DE LA INVENCIÓNPREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION
A Ia vista de las figuras reseñadas puede observarse como Ia secadora-planchadora que se preconiza está constituida a partir de un cuerpo prismático-rectangular (1), sensiblemente alargado en sentido vertical, cuyo zócalo (2) puede estar dotado de patas de apoyo o de ruedas que faciliten su cambio posicional, estando en cualquier caso el citado cuerpo (1) afectado frontal e integralmente por una abertura que se cierra mediante una puerta (3) y estableciéndose en su seno, centrada en sentido antero-posterior y cerca de su extremidad posterior, una barra (4) en funciones de medio sustentador para las perchas (5) de las que queda suspendida Ia ropa (6) durante el proceso de secado.In view of the aforementioned figures, it can be seen how the dryer-ironer that is recommended is constituted from a prismatic-rectangular body (1), substantially elongated vertically, whose base (2) can be provided with support legs or of wheels that facilitate its positional change, being in any case the aforementioned body (1) affected frontally and integrally by an opening that closes by means of a door (3) and being established in its breast, centered in the antero-posterior direction and near its rear limb, a bar (4) acting as a support for the hangers (5) from which the clothes (6) are suspended during the drying process.
El cuerpo (1) se remata superiormente en una cúpula (7), afectada mayoritariamente por una profusa rejilla (8), que en el ejemplo de realización práctica representado en las figuras se materializa en tres sectores físicamente independientes, por cuanto que se ha previsto que en el seno de Ia citada cúpula (7) se establezcan tres turbinas (9), asistidas por respectivas resistencias electro-calefactoras, que han sido representadas esquemáticamente en Ia figura 2, por tratarse de elementos convencionales y de mercado, estando cada una de estas unidades funcionales, es decir cada turbina (9) con su correspondiente resistencia, asistida por un termostato que independiza funcionalmente dichas turbinas, de manera que ante un supuesto sobrecalentamiento en una de ellas se produce Ia desconexión de Ia misma, manteniéndose las otras dos en situación operativa, como anteriormente se ha dicho.The body (1) is topped off in a dome (7), mostly affected by a profuse grid (8), which in the example of practical embodiment represented in the figures materializes in three physically independent sectors, since it has been foreseen that within The said dome (7) establishes three turbines (9), assisted by respective electro-heating resistors, which have been schematically represented in Figure 2, as they are conventional and market elements, each of these functional units being, is say each turbine (9) with its corresponding resistance, assisted by a thermostat that functionally independent of said turbines, so that in the event of an overheating in one of them the disconnection of the same occurs, keeping the other two in an operational situation, as previously it's been said.
Así pues, las turbinas (9) absorben aire ambiental que penetra en Ia secadora-planchadora a través de las rejillas (8) y que es directamente suministrada a Ia ropa (6) colgada de las perchas (5), alcanzando el aire caliente Ia zona inferior del cuerpo (1), y más concretamente Ia embocadura inferior (10) de una pareja de canalizaciones laterales y verticales (11), cuya embocadura superior (12) queda a su vez enfrentada a otra rejilla (13) operativamente establecida en Ia zona posterior de Ia cúpula (7).Thus, the turbines (9) absorb ambient air that penetrates the dryer-ironer through the grilles (8) and is directly supplied to the clothes (6) hanging from the hangers (5), reaching the hot air Ia lower area of the body (1), and more specifically the lower mouth (10) of a pair of lateral and vertical pipes (11), whose upper mouth (12) is in turn facing another grid (13) operatively established in Ia posterior area of the dome (7).
La estructura descrita se complementa funcionalmente con un dispositivo de control (14), preferentemente situado en Ia zona frontal de Ia citada cúpula (7) y en el que participan, además de interruptores para Ia puesta en funcionamiento de las citadas turbinas (9) con sus resistencias, un programador para establecer tanto el tiempo de funcionamiento como Ia temperatura de trabajo de Ia secadora-planchadora.The described structure is functionally complemented with a control device (14), preferably located in the frontal area of said dome (7) and in which they participate, in addition to switches for the operation of said turbines (9) with its resistors, a programmer to establish both the operating time and the working temperature of the dryer-ironer.
Dado que al extraer Ia ropa de Ia correspondiente lavadora y al colgarla de las perchas (5), puede desprenderse agua de Ia misma, se ha previsto que en el fondo del cuerpo (1) se establezca una bandeja (15), colectora de agua, dotada a nivel de su embocadura de una rejilla (16), de manera que afectando dicha bandeja toda Ia base del cuerpo (1) recoge todo el agua que pueda desprenderse de Ia ropa (6), Ia cual se elimina finalmente por simple evaporación, debido a Ia circulación de aire en el interior del propio cuerpo (1).Since removing the clothes from the corresponding washing machine and hanging it from the hangers (5), water can be released from it, it is provided that at the bottom of the body (1) a tray (15), water collector, be established , provided at the level of its mouth with a grid (16), so that said tray affecting the entire base of the body (1) collects all the water that can be released from the clothes (6), which is finally eliminated by simple evaporation, due to the circulation of air inside the body itself (1).
Esta bandeja (15), alojada por ejemplo en el zócalo (2), apoyará sobre Ia base del mismo con interposición de al menos un presostato que controla el funcionamiento de Ia secadora-planchadora, de manera que cuando el peso de dicha bandeja sobrepasa un valor preestablecido, como por ejemplo al introducirse una persona o un animal en el interior de Ia secadora, impide el funcionamiento de Ia misma, constituyendo dicho presostato un elemento de seguridad.This tray (15), housed for example in the socket (2), will rest on the base thereof with interposition of at least one pressure switch that controls the operation of the dryer-ironer, so that when the weight of said tray exceeds a preset value, such as when a person or an animal is introduced inside the dryer, prevents the operation of the same, said pressure switch constituting a safety element.
En Ia figura 2, se pueden observar los medios (17) con los cuales se estira Ia ropa dentro de Ia máquina, representándose en esta figura mediante sendas gomas que tiran hacia debajo de las mangas y del cuerpo de Ia ropa, así como de cualquier otro punto de Ia misma para mantenerla tensa durante el secado, Io cual permite que Ia ropa salga perfectamente planchada.In Figure 2, the means (17) with which the clothes are stretched inside the machine can be observed, represented in this figure by means of rubber bands that pull down the sleeves and the body of the clothes, as well as any Another point of the same to keep it tense during drying, which allows the clothes to come out perfectly ironed.
Estas gomas de estiramiento, pueden ser sustituidas por pesos debidamente graduados con los cuales se consiga el mismo efecto de estiramiento de Ia prenda.These stretch rubbers can be replaced by duly graduated weights with which the same stretching effect of the garment is achieved.
A nivel práctico, se puede decir igualmente, que las turbinas serán de gran potencia para que provoquen una gran circulación forzada de aire dentro de Ia máquina y disminuya el tiempo de secado de Ia ropa.On a practical level, it can also be said that the turbines will be of great power to cause a large forced circulation of air inside the machine and reduce the drying time of the clothes.
A nivel práctico se han utilizado turbinas de tipo centrífugo de aproximadamente 240W y en número de 2, pudiéndose reducir Ia potencia si se emplean mayor número como en Ia realización preferente. La resistencia de calentamiento, se puede indicar que emplea resistencias de 750W, con los cuales es suficiente para crear el calor adecuado que provoque Ia rápida evaporación del agua de Ia ropa lavada.At a practical level, centrifugal turbines of approximately 240W and a number of 2 have been used, the power can be reduced if a greater number is used as in the preferred embodiment. The heating resistance, it can be indicated that it uses 750W resistors, with which it is sufficient to create the adequate heat that causes the rapid evaporation of the water from the washed clothes.
Esta máquina destaca por las medidas tan reducidas ya que una medida estándar de las mismas, puede ser de 40 cm. de ancho por 55 cm. de fondo y 141 cm. de altura, ya que los dispositivos que provocan el secado y evaporación del agua, son de un tamaño bastante reducido.This machine stands out for the small measures since a standard measure of them can be 40 cm. wide by 55 cm. deep and 141 cm. of height, since the devices that cause the drying and evaporation of the water, are of a quite small size.
Aunque no se ha dibujado, debe tenerse en cuenta que el objeto de esta invención se centra también en Ia incorporación de un regulador de Ia velocidad, que permite variar a voluntad, Ia velocidad del aire que incide sobre las prendas a secar, con Io que se consigue un más rápido secado cuando Ia velocidad del aire es mayor.Although it has not been drawn, it should be taken into account that the object of this invention also focuses on the incorporation of a speed regulator, which allows varying at will, the speed of the air that affects the garments to be dried, so that faster drying is achieved when the air speed is higher.
Esta regulación, se puede hacer con un regulador continuo de velocidad, o un regulador escalonado con varias posiciones, que pueden simular tiempos de secado y planchado de Ia ropa.This regulation can be done with a continuous speed regulator, or a stepped regulator with several positions, which can simulate drying and ironing times of the clothes.
Con esta regulación de Ia velocidad del aire, Io que se consigue de igual modo, es Ia regulación de Ia humedad del aire en el interior de Ia secadora-planchadora y forzar de este modo una mayor rapidez en el proceso de planchado y secado. With this regulation of the air speed, what is achieved in the same way is the regulation of the humidity of the air inside the dryer-ironer and thus forcing a faster speed in the ironing and drying process.
