Definitions

• the present invention relates to dryers which comprise a mounting plate for mounting a control board.
• Washing devices are commonly used for cleaning textile products using water and preferably a cleaning agent (e.g. detergent, softener, etc.), and dryers are used for drying or aerating the wet textile products.
• a cleaning agent e.g. detergent, softener, etc.
• Different functions and different drying processes are provided in the dryers, wherein control units are used, which regulate the operation of the dryer in order to realize the drying characteristics determined by the user in the dryer.
• control units are connected with data input elements (e.g. button, key, touch screen etc.) located on the control panel of the dryer, and enable the drying processes to be carried out according to the commands input via these data input elements.
• Conventional dryers comprise a body and a drum located in the body for placing textile products and performing drying processes, wherein control units are mounted inside the body, usually on a side wall that forms the body.
• Different control boards are produced for different dryer models, and sometimes, the size of the control boards may be increased. In this case, the control boards may contact the drum inside the body, which negatively affects the rotation of the drum, while at the same time causing the control board to be damaged and not be able to perform the function in a correct manner.
• different mounting elements are created for different control boards, which may increase labour and costs for the production of dryers.
• mounting errors may occur and the operation of the dryer may be adversely affected.
• the dryer according to the invention comprises at least one body with at least one side wall; at least one drum located in the body, in which drying processes are carried out; at least one control unit which adjusts drying processes by means of user commands; and at least one mounting plate which is mounted on an inner surface of the side wall facing the drum and comprises:
• At least one mounting wall which extends substantially parallel to the side wall and which has, thereon, at least a second connecting element connected to at least a first connecting element located on the inner surface of the side wall;
• the control unit of the dryer can be mounted on the body of the dryer without contacting the drum. In this way, problems such as negatively affecting the drum rotation and malfunctioning of the control unit can be eliminated, as well as providing a common mounting plate for variable dryer models and control units so that cost and labour savings can be achieved. Therefore, a long-lasting and reliable dryer can be obtained.
• An object of the present invention is to provide a dryer which comprises a mounting plate for mounting the control unit thereof.
• Another object of the present invention is to provide a dryer which prevents the control unit from contacting the drum.
• Figure 1 is a perspective view of the mounting plate of the dryer according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a perspective view of an area where the mounting plate is mounted in the dryer.
• Figure 3 is a perspective view of the area where the mounting plate with the control board is mounted in the dryer.
• Figure 4 is another perspective view of the area where the mounting plate with the control board is mounted in the dryer.
• Dryers can be used for drying or aerating the textile products, and the conventional dryers comprise at least one body, at least one drum located in the drum, in which drying and aerating processes are carried out, and at least one control unit for adjusting drying and aerating processes according to the user commands.
• the control unit is located in the body, and the control units can contact the drum, especially depending on the variable dryer models and variable control unit sizes. This adversely affects the drum rotation and may lead to malfunction of the control unit.
• different mounting elements can be used; however, in this case, labour and cost may increase and production errors may occur, such as skipping the use of the correct assembly elements. Therefore, the present invention provides a dryer for solving said problems.
• the dryer according to the invention comprises at least one body (G) with at least one side wall (G1); at least one drum (D) located in the body (G), in which drying processes are carried out; and at least one control unit (K) (this control unit preferably comprises at least one case and at least one control board contained in this case) which adjusts drying processes by means of user commands (these commands are preferably input by means of at least one data input element).
• the dryer according to the invention also comprises at least one mounting plate (P) which is mounted on an inner surface of the side wall (G1) facing the drum (D) and comprises:
• At least one mounting wall (preferably at least two opposing mounting walls) (1) which extends substantially parallel to the side wall (G1) and which has, thereon (i.e. on a surface thereof facing the side wall (G1)), at least a second connecting element (e.g. tab, hole, slot, protrusion, etc.) connected to at least a first connecting element (e.g. tab, hole, slot, protrusion, etc.) located on the inner surface of the side wall (G1);
• At least one bearing wall (2) connected on one side with the mounting wall (1) preferably by means of at least one connection wall (3) (preferably, in case that there are at least two mounting walls (1), located between these mounting walls (1)) and located in an inclined manner (i.e. for example with an acute angle between the side wall (G1) and itself) such that there is a gap between the bearing wall (2) and the side wall (G1) and the depth of said gap increases as the distance from the drum (D) increases, wherein the control unit (K) is located on an outer surface of the bearing wall (2) facing the drum (D), wherein the bearing wall (2) comprises at least a third connecting element (2a) (e.g. hole, slot, tab, protrusion, etc.) for connecting the control unit (K) to the outer surface thereof, wherein the bearing wall (2) allows the control unit (K) to be located in the body (G) in an inclined manner without contacting the drum (D).
