Definitions

  • the invention relates to a laundry drum for a tumble dryer or a tumble dryer with such a laundry drum according to the preamble of the independent claims.
  • a clothes dryer has a laundry drum with a filling opening, through which wet laundry can be introduced into the laundry drum.
  • a process air stream enters the laundry drum through air openings in a wall of the laundry drum, absorbs moisture from the laundry and leaves the laundry drum through air channels.
  • the filling opening is closed by a door and the washing drum rotates in one direction or alternately in both directions (reversing).
  • a laundry drum for a tumble dryer has a drum interior for receiving laundry to be dried. Furthermore, the laundry drum comprises a wall which delimits the drum interior from a drum outer space (on the outside of the drum, in the housing of the tumble dryer).
  • This wall of the laundry drum in this case has a plurality of air openings (for example, with diameters of 10-12 mm), through which a process air stream for drying the laundry from the outside of the drum can be guided into the interior of the drum.
  • the wall of the laundry drum further has to improve the flow characteristics of the process air flow at least between two of the air openings - in a preferred development between all air openings - a the Trommelaussenraum facing flat or convex surface. In other words, no or at least no such depressions are to be found in the region outside the drum, which lead to undesirable turbulences of the process air flow, in particular during its passage through the air openings.
  • a cross-section (ie diameter) of at least one of the air openings - in a preferred development of all air openings - decreases at least in a section from the outside of the drum to the interior of the drum.
  • the term "section” is to be understood in this context as part of the air opening from the drum outer space to the drum interior.
  • This reduction of the cross-section of the air opening (s) at least in one section can be made stepwise or continuously, eg the air openings can be funnel-shaped towards the interior of the drum.
  • the laundry drum comprises a cylinder jacket and a filling opening.
  • the wall and the filling opening are arranged on opposite end faces of the cylinder jacket.
  • the laundry drum is at least partially made of punched sheet metal.
  • a continuous stainless steel sheet blank (still without air openings) punched from the later interior of the drum ago against the later Trommelaussenraum, whereby the air openings are produced in the sheet metal.
  • the wall then has in the Trommelaussenraum directed and encircling the air openings collars.
  • the later drum interior of the wall can be kept free from sharp edges which could damage the laundry during drying or rotation of the laundry drum. Nevertheless, a simpler and more cost-effective production of the wall with the air openings is made possible.
  • At least one of these collars - preferably all collars - in the Trommelaussenraum inlet contours, which in a simpler way (sections) reduction of the cross section of the air opening (s) can be generated to the drum interior out.
  • At least one of the collars - preferably all collars - thereby a flanging, in particular a flange with a radius smaller than 4 mm.
  • the collars are bent away from the center of the air opening "outwards", ie drum outside again in the direction of the wall.
  • intermediate volume between at least two of the collars, preferably between all collars, in the outer space of the drum with a material, e.g. a foreign material, filled out.
  • a material e.g. a foreign material
  • intermediate volume in this context is understood to mean the volume of the air openings between the air openings opposite the air openings of the collars and against the drum interior of the wall between the air openings, which in the drum outer space at least up to an extension of the collars in the Trommelaussenraum (ie until expansion of the collars in the z-direction or even beyond, see below) is filled with the material.
  • the intermediate volume can be poured out after the punching of a sheet metal blank with the production of collars (with or without crimping), for example with a hardening resin or another potting compound.
  • a plane or convex surface of the wall facing the outer wall of the drum can be generated, which leads to an improvement in the flow conditions for the process air flow.
  • the wall of the laundry drum comprises at least two individual parts, at least in one partial area.
  • the two parts can be made of the same material (eg two stamped parts made of stainless steel) or different materials (eg drum inside a stamped part made of stainless steel and drum outside a plastic part).
  • the two individual parts of the wall are mirror-image stamped parts, each with collars surrounding the air openings.
  • the two items of the Wall are then combined with each other so that end faces of the collars of the items are arranged facing each other.
  • the collars of the drum inside side item are oriented towards the drum outer side and the collars of the drum outer side item are oriented towards the drum inside.
  • the faces of the collars face each other.
  • a wall can be produced with a flat surface facing the outer wall of the drum, which leads to an improvement of the flow conditions for the process air flow.
  • the wall comprises, at least in a partial region, a first individual part and a second individual part.
  • both the first item as well as the second item each have at least one circumferential to an air opening collar.
  • At least one collar - preferably all collars - the first item is in each case assigned a collar of the second item of the wall.
  • a collar of the first item and the associated collar of the second item thus form a pair of collars, which rotates about the respective common air opening of the wall after assembly of the items.
  • the collar of the first item inside collar ie pointing to the respective air opening
  • a larger or maximally the same diameter (inner diameter) than the respective associated collar of the second item outside the collar ie pointing away from the air opening, outside diameter.
  • the two individual parts are then assembled to the wall, that at least one pair of collars - preferably all pairs of collars - "is arranged inside each other" or the collars in a direction of the air flow different degrees, ie at least in a section, "overlap".
  • the collar of the first item is at least in a section not directly facing the respective air opening, as seen from it collar inside (ie pointing to the respective air opening indicative) of the associated collar of the second item of the wall is arranged, which faces the actual air opening directly.
  • the air openings can be enclosed in a simpler way by the / the pair of collars (e).
  • a clothes dryer in particular a heat pump dryer, with one of the laundry drums described above benefits from an improved process air flow in the area of the air openings on the laundry drum.
  • an energy saving and / or reduction of the noise level is possible.
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a laundry drum 10 with a cylinder jacket 14, a filling opening 15 and with a wall 20 in which a plurality of air openings 21 for carrying a process air stream 13 from a Trommelaussenraum 12 (a volume in a housing of the tumble dryer outside the laundry drum 10) in a drum interior 11 (a volume within the laundry drum 10, in which the laundry 2 to be dried is received) is arranged.
  • the wall 20 and the filling opening 15 are arranged on opposite end faces of the cylinder jacket 14 of the laundry drum 10.
  • a running through the laundry drum process air stream 13 can be ensured by the process air stream 13 through the wall 20 at one end face (here: back) of the laundry drum 10 enters the laundry drum 10 and this leaves through the opposite filling opening 15 (here: at the front of the laundry drum 10, along minus z) again.
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view in the xz-plane through a portion of a wall 20 of an unclaimed laundry drum 10.
  • the process air stream 13 flows along the minus z-axis through the air openings 21 from the drum outlet 12 into the drum interior 11 (indicated by the black arrows).
  • encircling collars 23 of the wall 20 are visible, which limit the air openings 21 laterally (ie along x and y).
  • flanges 25 are formed on the collars 23. These flanges 25 have bending radii of less than 4 mm.
  • the lateral air opening diameter d is not constant in the axial direction (along z), but decreases in a portion from the drum outer space 12 to the drum inner space 11.
  • the collars 23 inlet contours 24 are not constant in the axial direction (along z), but decreases in a portion from the drum outer space 12 to the drum inner space 11.
