Definitions

  • the invention relates to a condensate container for a condensation laundry drying apparatus, the condensate container having a condensate inlet and a condensate outlet, between which at least one sieve is arranged.
  • the invention further relates to a condensation laundry drying apparatus comprising a condensing unit for condensing moist process air, a collecting container for collecting at least condensate generated by the condensing unit, a conveying unit for conveying the condensate from the collecting container to the condensate container and a control unit for selectively opening and closing a connection of the condensate container to at least one cleaning component of the condensation clothes dryer.
  • the method is used to operate the condensation laundry dryer.
  • DE 10 2008 032 800 A1 describes a device for cleaning a component, in particular an evaporator of a capacitor device.
  • the apparatus is equipped with a component to be cleaned arranged within a process air cycle of a washing or tumble dryer, in particular an evaporator of a condenser device, and with a condensate pan, into which condensate produced in the process air cycle by drying damp laundry can be trapped.
  • the rinsing container has a closure part for selectively opening and closing the outlet opening and an actuator for actuating the closure part, the closure part having a closure element for discharging the rinsing container into and out of the vaporizer Sealing head for closing the outlet opening, which is connected to a rotatably mounted on the first container lever arm.
  • EP 2 138 627 A1 relates to a dryer comprising a drying chamber for receiving articles to be dried, a process air duct for guiding process air over the articles to receive moisture therefrom, a heat sink arranged in the process air duct for condensing the moisture out of the process air a condensate, a condensate collecting device for collecting the condensate, comprising a condensate container.
  • a condensate container for a Kondensations•sche- drying wherein the condensate container comprises a condensate inlet and a condensate outlet, between which at least one sieve is arranged, and wherein the condensate inlet is formed as an overflow, wherein the overflow has at least one overflow channel , in particular from the condensate inlet to an edge of the condensate container. Because the condensate inlet is designed as an overflow, condensate overflowing condensate (condensed water or condensed water) can flow off in a targeted manner.
  • the dissolved foreign bodies can then be washed out with the overflowing condensate from the condensate tank.
  • the overflow can thus be used for targeted cleaning of the screen in a particular not intended for removal or not removable condensate tank.
  • the overflow is easy and inexpensive to implement in the production.
  • the condensate inlet has an overflow edge on a side edge of the condensate container as the overflow channel and is surrounded adjacent thereto by a guide wall which projects upwards from the overflow edge.
  • This embodiment has the advantage that the overflow channel can be configured particularly simply, namely essentially only by the overflow edge.
  • the condensate inlet can directly adjoin the side edge of the condensate tank.
  • a side wall of the condensate container may constitute a boundary wall of the condensate inlet.
  • the overflow edge may then represent the (top) edge of the sidewall or a portion thereof.
  • the higher guide wall which may be formed in particular in an upper wall, top or ceiling of the condensate tank, overflow outside the overflow channel is prevented. In particular, it can be prevented that condensate contaminated with foreign bodies can deposit on the top side of the condensate container.
  • the guide wall is advantageously only by the overflow channel, in particular the overflow edge, interrupted.
  • the condensate inlet has a recess formed on an upper side or a lid of the condensate container or is defined by a recess.
  • the recess may be open at the edge, for example.
  • the overflow In particular, the channel can be formed on or through the open section (with). Alternatively, the recess can be closed on the edge or circumferentially (surrounded by material).
  • the overflow channel can in this case be formed, for example, by a channel-like depression, which leads, for example, to the edge of the condensate container or to a discharge opening in the condensate container.
  • the at least one sieve is arranged on the condensate inlet.
  • the sieve can be particularly effectively exposed to turbulence of the charged condensate, possibly even be exposed directly, so that the foreign body can be particularly easily detached from the sieve. Dissolution of the foreign bodies is assisted by going substantially directly to the condensate inlet, e.g. by simply floating up.
  • the at least one sieve has a cup-shaped sieve element which can be inserted into the condensate container through the condensate inlet.
  • the at least one sieve (for example a sieve with one or more sieve regions held by a common frame) can thus be arranged in a particularly simple manner directly on the condensate inlet.
  • the cup-like shape ensures that the condensate does not spill or spurt out of the condensate container when the condensate container is not completely filled.
  • At least one sieve may be present within the condensate container at some distance from the condensate inlet, e.g. designed as a laterally open screen, which is arranged in a flow channel of the condensate container.
  • the sieve can be removed from the condensate tank or permanently installed in the condensate tank.
  • the at least one connecting channel comprises a recess in the partition wall, wherein the recess is closable by means of an insertable from outside closure element, in particular a plug-in plug.
  • a plug e.g. Also a slider or a flap can be used.
  • the recess has an opening in an upper side of the condensate container, wherein the opening is lower than the overflow channel.
  • a condensation laundry drying apparatus comprising a condensation unit for condensing moist process air (condenser), a collecting tank for collecting at least condensate generated by the condensing unit, a conveyor unit (eg a pump) for conveying the condensate from the collecting tank to the condensate tank in particular as described above, a control unit for selectively opening and closing a connection of the condensate tank to at least one component to be cleaned of the condensation laundry drying apparatus and a collecting element for collecting condensate overflowed from the condensate tank.
  • a condensation laundry drying apparatus comprising a condensation unit for condensing moist process air (condenser), a collecting tank for collecting at least condensate generated by the condensing unit, a conveyor unit (eg a pump) for conveying the condensate from the collecting tank to the condensate tank in
  • the component to be cleaned may in particular be a component arranged within a process air cycle of a washing or tumble dryer, for example an evaporator of a condenser device or a fluff filter arranged in a process air duct, in particular inclined. It is advantageous for a controlled discharge of the overflowed condensate configuration that a drain hose is attached to the collecting element.
  • the drain hose connects to a lying on a rear wall of the condensation dryer drying device lowest point of the receiving space.
  • a substantially complete emptying of the receiving space is made possible.
  • the drain hose is so easily stowed outside a typical field of view.
  • drain hose can be designed as a return hose to the collection container, so that the condensate is available for further rinsing operations.
  • the condensation dryer may be a washer-dryer or a tumble dryer.
  • the tumble dryer may be, for example, a conventional condensation tumble dryer and / or a condensation tumble dryer with a heat pump. It may be a particularly advantageous embodiment that the condensate drained from the condensation water tank serves as a rinsing liquid for an evaporator of the heat pump, as lint etc. can settle on the cooling fins or fins of the evaporator particularly easily and thereby reduce the effectiveness of the heat pump ,
  • the condensation drying apparatus can have a basic construction as in DE 10 2007 052835 A1 or DE 10 2008 032 800 A1.
  • FIG. 2 shows a top view of the condensate container from FIG. 1 with a translucent lid
  • FIG. 3 shows a view of obliquely from behind a condensation clothes dryer.
  • the condensate tank 1 shows a view from obliquely above a section of a condensate tank according to the invention 1.
  • the condensate tank 1 has a bottom shell 2 and a (fixed or removable) attached lid 3 or top.
  • an upper-side condensate inlet 4 is present in the condensate tank 1.
  • the condensate inlet 4 is defined by a recess 5 in the lid 3.
  • the condensate inlet 4 has an overflow channel 7, which is formed by means of or on an upper edge or edge of a side wall 6 of the bottom shell 2, which is not covered by the cover 3. This free portion of the upper edge of the bottom shell 2 may also be referred to as an overflow edge or as an overflow edge.
  • the recess 5 is thus not circumferentially surrounded by the cover 3, but is laterally open, said open portion defines the overflow channel 7.
  • the (guide) wall 8 of the recess 5 formed by the cover 3, which adjoins the overflow channel 7, is significantly high in relation to the overflow channel 7 or the open section and thus serves as an overflow protection in the direction of the cover 3.
  • wall 8 is formed vertically upright here.
  • the guide wall 8 has in plan view a substantially circular sector-shaped or elongated circular sector-shaped form, as shown in Figure 2.
  • a sieve 9 is arranged, which extends from the condensate inlet 4 from flat or (here :) cup-shaped into the condensate tank 1.
  • An upper edge 10 of the sieve 9 is at least partially seated on the condensate inlet 4 (the overflow channel 7 can then also be formed by the upper edge 10 of the sieve 9).
  • the condensate level in the condensate tank 1 rises, the foreign matter floats up.
  • the dissolution of the foreign matter from the sieve 9 is supported by the turbulence of standing in the sieve 9 condensate. If the condensate tank 1 is filled so far that overflows condensate and runs through the overflow channel 7 side, the floating foreign body are flushed out.
  • the sieve 9 can be cleaned automatically and without a manual emptying of the condensate tank 1.
  • the connecting channel 15 can be opened in particular when the condensate container 1 is provided for a cleaning of the sieve 9 by means of a manual removal and emptying.
  • the plug 17 can be plugged into a storage channel 18 which does not hinder the connecting channel 15.
  • the drain hose 23 extends at least for the most part, in this case completely, outside the housing of the condensation clothes dryer 19 and can be laid by an end user, for example to the wash basin or the trap.
  • the drain hose 23 is therefore user-manageable or user-portable.
  • the drain hose 23 can be stowed when not in use on the condensation clothes dryer 19, for example, be clamped or rolled up.
  • the lint washed out in an automatic cleaning process can be directly removed from the condensation laundry drying apparatus 19, suppressing, for example, a decomposed smell of deposited lint in the condensation laundry drying apparatus 19.
