Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a laundry dryer having a dryer cabinet in which a drum is rotatably supported.
  • the drum has a back wall facing a plastic rear bulkhead and a front end facing a plastic front bulkhead. Furthermore, the drum is supported by rollers.
  • Laundry dryers typically have a bearing structure or cabinet which generally includes a basement on which a front wall and a rear wall, as well as lateral walls are mounted.
  • a laundry drum is mounted, rotatable around an axis.
  • Such an axis can be - substantially - horizontal, vertical or tilted.
  • the drum where the laundry is stored in order to be dried, is actuated through an electric motor, for example by means of a drive belt, and it is rotatably supported in the front and rear areas thereof by means of pairs of wheels or rollers.
  • the drum is supported at the front part thereof through an abovementioned pair of rollers and at the rear part by a shaft, coaxial with the rotational axis of the drum.
  • the drum in operation is made to rotate in order to cause agitation of the laundry items to be dried, which repeatedly tumble with the drum while being invested by a drying air flow.
  • the dryer air flow is generated by an air generator, which includes a circuit for conveying a flow of drying air, including a duct along which preferably a fan forces the air into the drum, after the air itself has been heated.
  • the hot air traverses the inside of the drum and is saturated with the moisture transferred by the laundry items contained therein, which items are thus progressively dried.
  • the hot air is generated for example by means of an electrical resistance or using a heat pump.
  • the hot air is generally introduced into the drum through the back of the same and the moist air exits from the drum through the front thereof, which is provided with a central opening, used - in case of front load machines - even with the aim of loading and unloading the laundry.
  • the drum practically consists of a cylindrical wall having open ends, and gaskets of large diameter are provided at the front and rear ends of the cylindrical wall.
  • the laundry is therefore confined between the cylindrical wall, the door of the dryer and the back wall of the cabinet.
  • This solution has several drawbacks, first of all the wear-and-tear of the large gasket and the continuous contact and friction between the laundry - which rotates - and the back wall of the cabinet - stationary. This movement may damage the laundry or cause entanglement of the latter.
  • friction between tumbling laundry and stationary back wall of the cabinet causes energy losses and undesired electrical power consumption to rotate the drum.
  • the drum includes a rear wall, which is configured as a separate piece with respect to the peripheral wall, and rigidly fixed thereto.
  • an additional metal closing component cylindrical-shaped, protruding towards the outside of the cabinet and coupled to an opening of the rear wall of the cabinet is provided in order to guarantee the passage of the drying air to the drum is provided.
  • the drum is rotatably supported by means of a shaft.
  • the positioning of the shaft on the back wall of the drum causes some disadvantages.
  • the first disadvantage lies in the fact that the drying air flow into the drum, flow that comes from the back wall, is substantially prevented from entering the drum in the area where the shaft and its bearing are arranged. The flow of the drying air is therefore not optimal.
  • the presence of a shaft implies that, in particular when the rotation of the drum is at relatively high speed, a high force is applied on a limited volume around the shaft itself, imposing constraints in the dryer construction, in order to reinforce the overall structure.
  • the present invention relates to a laundry dryer whose design is improved and aiming for achieving a good compromise between performances of the dryer and costs/resources for producing the same.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a dryer that requires a reduced number of components with respect to prior art dryers, simplifying the assembly of the same.
  • a further object of the invention is to improve distribution of drying air flow within a drum containing laundry to be dried.
  • the dryer of the invention is aiming for solving the aforementioned problem with reference to the prior art of record.
  • the invention relates to a laundry dryer comprising: • a dryer cabinet, comprising a front wall and a rear wall, said front wall and rear wall comprising a front bulkhead and a rear bulkheads, respectively, and a basement, said basement being realized in plastic material and including an upper shell portion and a lower shell portion attached to the upper shell portion, said basement being adapted for the mounting at said front wall and said rear wall;
  • a drum rotatably accommodated within said dryer cabinet, said drum having a first end and a second end, said first end being an open end facing said front bulkhead and being rotatably coupled to the same and said second end being fixedly closed by a back wall which rotates unitarily with the drum, said second end facing said rear bulkhead and being rotatably coupled to the same;
  • said at least one first roller support is provided either on one of the shell portions of said basement or on said front bulkhead and said at least one second roller support is provided on one of the shell portion of said basement or on said rear bulkhead.
  • plastic material and the like, are used to indicate any plastic, i.e. polymeric or synthetic material, or based on plastic, i.e. polymeric or synthetic material, possibly added with fillers suitable to improve the functional and robustness characteristics thereof, such as minerals, textile synthetic fillers and so on and so forth.

  • the drum of the dryer of the invention is a closed drum, i.e. it includes a mantle, for example cylindrically shaped, one of whose ends is closed by a back wall or a flange, which rotates as a single piece together with the mantle when the drum is driven into rotation.
  • the connection between the mantle and the back wall or flange can be of any type, and it depends on the material in which mantle and/or back wall or flange are realized.
  • the back wall of the drum is preferably perforated, e.g. it includes a plurality of apertures, so that air to dry clothes or any other laundry can be introduced through the rear wall.
  • the drum is part of an process air circuit, in particular a closed-loop circuit in case of a condensed dryer or an open circuit in case of a vented dryer, which in both cases includes a process air conduit for channeling a stream of air to dry the load.
  • the process air circuit is connected with its two opposite ends to the drum. More specifically, hot dry air is fed into the drying chamber, flowing over the laundry, and the resulting humid (and to a lower temperature cooled down) air exits the same.
