Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a dryer comprising a removable piece.
  • the wet laundry placed into a rotating drum are provided to be dried by being contacted with hot air.
  • the hot circulation air evaporates the moisture of the laundry that it passes over and sweeps it away from the laundry. While the hot circulation air removes the moisture of the laundry in the drum, the lint and fiber particles formed in clothes due to usage and wearing also mix into the air together with the moisture. These particles accumulate in the course of time on elements like the filter, condenser etc. through which air passes after the drum and can cause the performance to decrease. Therefore, these elements should be taken out of the dryer periodically by the user and cleaned.
  • the opening formed at the dryer body preferably in the kick-plate area, is closed by different mechanisms for providing leak-proofing and locked with structures such as latch etc.
  • latch structures
  • the user opens the outer cover, turns the latches and pulls the removable element out of the dryer. After the cleaning process is completed, the user locks the latches one by one and closes the outer cover while mounting it back into place.
  • a condenser that comprises two insertion members and a handle ring.
  • the insertion members rotatably mounted to both sides of the condenser are placed in the grooves in the condenser receiving unit and provide the condenser to be leak-proofingly seated in the condenser receiving unit.
  • the condenser is taken out by being pulled by holding the handle ring after turning the insertion members until they are released from the grooves.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a dryer comprising a removable piece that can be easily mounted/dismounted for cleaning.
  • the removable piece whereon the particles in the air leaving the drum accumulate, is mounted to the casing disposed inside the body by means of a locking means.
  • Retainers are disposed on the casing wherein the extensions of the locking means are placed for providing locking.
  • the locking means is mounted to the front wall from at least two points so as to rotate around its central axis. Accordingly, the load acting on the locking means is decreased and it becomes possible to produce the locking means from material having lower strength.
  • the locking means is mounted on two pins disposed on the front wall.
  • One rail aligned with each pin, providing the locking means to be borne to the pins is disposed on the locking means.
  • the rails are in form of arc segments disposed on a circle the center of which is situated at the center of the locking means.
  • the rails move on the pins and thus the locking means rotates around its center.
  • the two pins are not aligned in the horizontal axis and there is a difference of level therebetween, allowing the extensions to be dislodged from inside the retainers.
  • the length of the rails is preferably as much as this level difference between the pins.
  • the rails have variable widths, in the open position its portion on the side of the pin wider than thickness of the pins, whereon it moves, and in the locked position its portion on the side of the pin narrower than thickness of the pins, whereon it moves.
  • the rail fixes the pin whereon it moves.
  • the retainer is shaped as a tab which comprises an opening that allows one end of the retainer to be inserted between the extensions.
  • the extensions are fixed by being placed under the tab shaped retainers.
  • the retainer has a geometry that narrows preferably in the locking direction so as to fix the extension.
  • the casing comprises two retainers on both sides, three retainers on both sides and the bottom or four retainers at the sides, top and bottom.
  • the locking means comprises two, three or four extensions corresponding to the number of retainers.
  • a handle is disposed on the locking means at the center point.
  • the handle being disposed at the center of the locking means provides the user to rotate the locking means easily.
  • a cap is mounted on the pins for securing, after the rails are mounted on the pins.
  • the cap is mounted on the end of the pin passing through the rail and is wider than the width of the rail.
  • the rail can move on the pin in the plane of the front wall, however cannot move perpendicular to the front wall due to the cap and hence does not dislodge entirely from the rail.
  • Both the pin and the cap have a hole each that is aligned when mounted on top of each other.
  • the locking means is provided to be movably secured on the front wall by passing a screw through these holes.
  • the rail is shaped as an arrow showing the direction of unlocking.
  • a cover that covers the cap and the pin is mounted on the rail.
  • the removable piece is disposed at the front lower side of the body, on the kick-plate that is at the position close to the floor.
  • the dryer can be a heat pump or conventional dryer, thus the removable piece can be a condenser, a filter or a filter group containing both the condenser and the filter.
