Definitions

  • the invention relates to a drying cabinet according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the drying cabinet is suitable especially for drying laundry.
  • a generic drying cabinet is known from US-A-5'152'077 known.
  • Here is in the bottom area of the drying cabinet Fan arranged, which blows air through a heating element and passes from below into a drying chamber. The air is rising up and absorbs moisture from the laundry. The damp Air is sucked down by the fan, where they are flows over a condensation plate to again as a dry, reheated air to get into the drying chamber.
  • This Drying apparatus has the disadvantage that laundry items, which are close to the air supply opening, first with dry Air are applied and the more distant laundry only to be flowed around with already moist air. The laundry items thus dry differently, so that the entire Drying process takes a relatively long time. Moreover, one is relative great power of the fan necessary to provide adequate To ensure air circulation.
  • US-A-5'755'040 discloses a drying cabinet in which the heating element is located at the bottom and the fan at the top.
  • Part of the heated air is in a lateral, from the Drying chamber separated channel directed upwards, taking via openings which are distributed over the height of the chamber are directed into this.
  • This structure is relatively complicated and increases the cost of manufacturing Drying cabinet.
  • CH-A-690'038 further describes a drying cabinet in which Heating element and dehumidifier on top of the cabinet are arranged.
  • This arrangement has the disadvantage that the natural rising of warm air is not exploited and thus an increased fan power is necessary. There too here a uniform drying of the laundry is not guaranteed is, a relatively long drying time and a corresponding high energy consumption needed.
  • This task triggers a drying cabinet with the characteristics of Claim 1.
  • the inventive drying cabinet has an air circulation on, with which warm, dry air from below into one Drying chamber is fed, part of the air in medium Height leaves the drying chamber for dehumidification and dehumidified Air is supplied from above into the drying chamber. This ensures a uniform drying, so that reduce the total drying time required and at the same time the required fan power to generate the air circulation minimize.
  • a dehumidifier is laterally attached to the drying cabinet.
  • first suspension means present, which at least parallel to a front opening of the drying cabinet. Further there is at least one second suspension means which runs transverse to the first suspension and which for hanging suitable for hangers.
  • FIG. 1 shows a drying cabinet according to the invention.
  • the claimed drying cabinet can be dried of various items like food, wood and Insert leather. His preferred field of application, however, is the Drying of laundry or garments, so in the following This application is described.
  • the drying cabinet has a housing 1, whose interior forms a drying chamber 2.
  • In the drying room are means present to store the elements to be dried.
  • the housing 1 has an upper cover 10, two side walls 11, a rear wall 12 and a bottom 13.
  • the front side is designed lockable. In the example shown here is Therefore, in the upper part of a roller shutter box 16 with a shutter 16 'arranged. However, it is also possible to use the cabinet to close one or two doors.
  • the bottom 13 is preferably on feet 15 or rolls.
  • the housing 1 is pluggable formed, wherein the individual walls in clamping profiles 14 can be inserted are as shown in Figure 5. Thereby the housing can be easily and inexpensively manufactured. moreover the assembly is facilitated, so the drying cabinet too as a kit is available. As can be seen in FIG. 1, let For tall cabinets, the vertical walls are made of individual elements put together by bridging clamp profiles 14 'are used.
  • a heating element 5 is arranged in the lower region of the housing 1, more precisely on the bottom 13, a heating element 5 is arranged.
  • the heating element 5 is laid here by above the bottom 13, formed electrical heating coils, as shown in Figure 2 is.
  • electrical heating coils as shown in Figure 2 is.
  • a radiation cover 17 is attached, to the heat generated by the heating element 5 as possible evenly distributed over the floor surface in the drying room 2 radiate.
  • the cover 17 may for example consist of a Consist of aluminum sheet.
  • a dehumidifier 8 am Housing 1 On the side and in the upper part is a dehumidifier 8 am Housing 1 attached.
  • This dehumidifier 8 has the for a dehumidifying necessary elements on which essentially a compressor 80, an evaporator 81, an air condenser 82, a condensate tray 83 and a fan 84 are. Further is the Entfeuchtungsapparat 8 an operating and control unit 85 attached, by means of which the user the drying cabinet served. Not shown are any in the cabinet arranged temperature and humidity sensors and a corresponding associated electronics.
  • the drying cabinet has approximately mid-height of the Drying chamber 2, an air suction port 7, in which a Filter 7 is arranged.
  • a blow-out opening 6 is arranged, in which air baffles 6 'are arranged.
  • the Entfeuchtungsapparat 8 is now so on Housing 1 arranged that air, which from the drying chamber 2 escapes through the suction port 7, through the dehumidifier 8 flows and by means of the fan 84 through the exhaust port 6 returned to the drying chamber 2 again becomes.
  • This inventive arrangement of the heating elements 5 and the Inlet or suction port 6,7 allows efficient Drying. Since the heating element 5 is arranged at the bottom, warm air rises along the laundry W to be dried. It creates a natural air flow, which the laundry W evenly flows around. As a result, the air takes part of the moisture the laundry W on. At least part of this air will now in the central region of the drying chamber 2 through the suction port 7 deducted into the dehumidifier 8. Through the blow-out opening 6, dry air from the top into the drying chamber 2, which flows through the laundry W from top to bottom. This is in addition to already in the upper area damp, but warm air still slightly cooled, but still dry air present, which also moisture the laundry W can record. In this way, the laundry W in the upper and in the lower area at least approximately uniform and dried just as fast.
  • control unit controls the interaction between Heat generation by means of the heating element 5, the dehumidification by means of dehumidifier 8 and air circulation by means of the fan 84.
  • This allows the drying temperature in the drying chamber 2 to a maximum of 40 ° C regulate.
  • the drying cabinet described here also has via a suspension device for the laundry W to be dried, which also supports the drying process. So are in the drying chamber 2 suspension rails 3,3 'arranged. Depending on Height of the cabinet, these are two or more stacked Rails. In addition, several rails are at the same height 3,3 'arranged parallel to each other. These suspension rails 3,3 ' run parallel to the front opening of the housing 1, so that their entire length is easily accessible.
  • the suspension rails 3,3 ' are attached to the side walls 11 of the housing 1. To the Side walls 11 are for this purpose at different heights fastening profiles 18 arranged, whose cross sections take the form of a have upwardly open U.
  • Each suspension rails 3,3 'has, as shown in Figure 4 is, an elongated support member 30, on whose end faces Fixing tabs 32 are arranged. These attachment noses 32 can be hooked into the mounting profiles 18.
  • the support element 30 has an elliptical cross section. It thereby forms a support surface on which the laundry W without brackets or other fasteners are applied can and still does not fall off when drying. So that Laundry W also dries well in the area of its support surface the rails 3,3 'air passage openings 31.
  • Suspension rails are 3,3 'available with different widths. Is above a relatively narrow rail 3 and below one arranged wide rail 3 ', so long laundry items are trapezoidal open. The air can thus optimally along this pour long pieces of laundry up, so that too Let items of laundry dry evenly and efficiently. It is For higher cabinets also possible, three or more rails to arrange one above the other, the middle rails middle have broad.
  • suspension rods 4 which transversely extend to the suspension rails 3,3 '. Instead of bars you can also use strained cords. On these suspension rods 4 hang hanger 4 'hang. On hangers 4 'Hanging garments are so between the suspension rails 3,3 'held. This will prevent the Turn clothes hanger 4 'through the airflow and close the clothes firmly together. This also optimizes the drying process.
  • the suspension device described here can also be use in other drying cabinets.
  • the inventive drying cabinet allows efficient Drying with a minimum energy requirement. Nevertheless, it is The drying cabinet cost-effective and easy to install.
