Definitions

the present invention relates to a dryer having an attachable and detachable condenser.
Hot circulation air evaporates the moist contained in the laundry it passes through, removes the moist from the laundry and takes it away. While the hot air passes through a heat exchanger, preferably a condenser, the hot air gives heat to a fluid of lower temperature, preferably air, and leaves the moist condensed due to the temperature difference. This heat exchange causes the circulation air to dry and at the same time to cool. After the condenser, the circulation air is passed over a heater situated further down the air channel to be heated and is sent back to the drum.
a heat exchanger preferably a condenser
the condensers used in dryers have such a configuration that from one end the hot circulation air enters and from the other the cooling air of a lower temperature enters without being mixed with the circulation air. Especially particles such as lint, fibers etc. carried by the circulation air may result in the clogging of the condenser in time or decrease the performance thereof. Therefore, the condenser is detachably attached in the dryer such that the user can take it out for cleaning and place it back to its place in the dryer. Furthermore, in order to prevent circulation air and cooling air from being mixed, condenser must be inserted in a leak proof manner. Therefore, condenser is provided with a handle enabling it to be attached and detached easily and a locking mechanism enabling it to be fitted into its place in a leak proof manner.
the object of the present invention is the realization of a dryer having an easily attachable and detachable condenser.
the dryer realized in order to fulfill the objectives of the present invention is described in the attached claims.
the length of the insertion members, po- sitioned on both sides of the condenser allows them to overlap when rotated towards each other.
the insertion members form a handle, which can be used for taking the condenser out of its casing and for its transportation.
the projections positioned thereon are fitted tightly into the housings on the casing and thereby enable the condenser to be inserted into the casing in a leak proof manner. This position of the insertion members do not form a projection at the condenser inlet, which may interrupt the air stream.
the insertion members can be locked to each other as they overlap at the middle section.
the risk of disengaging the insertion members while carrying the condenser is eliminated.
Figure 1 - is a schematic view of the dryer
Figure 2 - is the detailed perspective view of the condenser wherein the insertion members are in locking position
Figure 3 - is the detailed perspective view of the condenser wherein the insertion members in carrying position
Figure 4 - is the perspective view of the insertion members in carrying position
FIG. 5 - Ii the detailed perspective view of the dryer with the condenser inserted in the casing.
Figure 6 - is the detailed perspective view of the dryer while the condenser is being pulled out of the casing.
a dryer (1) the object of the present invention, comprises a body (2) and a drum (3) located inside the body (2) into which the laundries to be dried are loaded.
the dryer (1) further comprises a casing (5) positioned inside the body (2), having an inlet (6) opening to the outer environment and a condenser (4) which can be attached to and detached from the casing (5) through the opening (6), absorbing the moist contained in the hot circulation air coming from the drum (3) by en bling it exchange heat with a fluid having a lower temperature.
the insertion members (7) have a length allowing the members to meet on the front side of the condenser (4) and preferably enabling them to overlap partially. In the second position, when holding the insertion members (7), the condenser (4) can be taken out of the casing (5) and transported.
the dryer (1) further comprises extensions (8), each being positioned on the insertion members (7) and two housings (9) on the casing (5) into which the extensions (8) fit.
the extensions (8) are inserted in the housings (9) and thereby allow the condenser (4) to be fitted into the casing (5) securely ( Figure 6).
the user holds the condenser (4) by the insertion members (7) joined in the middle and inserts it into the casing (5) through the inlet (6). Thereafter, the insertion members (7) are rotated towards the housings (9) positioned on the inner surface of the casing (5) and brought back to the first position. In this position, the extensions (8) are fitted into the housings (9) securing the condenser (4) into the casing (5).
the user intends to detach the condenser (4) from the casing (5), rotates the insertion members (7) towards the front side of the condenser (4) and releases the extensions (8) from the housings (9).
the insertion members (7) When the insertion members (7) are rotated approximately 90°, they meet one another in such a way that they extend side by side or tip to tip along a line on the front side of the condenser. When the insertion members (7) are joined in the middle like that, they are used for taking out the condenser (4) from the casing (5), for carrying it and inserting it back into the casing (5). Since the insertion members (7) can be separated only by rotating after inserting the condenser (4) into its place, they do not form an obstacle interrupting the flow of the circulation air.
the dryer (1) further comprises a locking mechanism (10) which provides for connecting the insertion members (7) to each other in the second position.
the insertion members (7) connected by the locking mechanism (10) form a handle enabling the condenser (4) to be taken out of the casing (5) and carried ( Figure 4).
the locking mechanism comprises a pin (11) preferably located on one of the insertion members (7) and a groove (12) located on the other insertion member (7) into which the pin (11) fits.
the pin (11) and the groove (12) are positioned on the opposite side of the insertion members (7) with respect to the extension (8).
the dryer (1) comprises a stopper (14) located on the edge of the condenser (4) and a projection (13) which rests thereon when the insertion members (7) are brought to the second position ( Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4).
the insertion members (7) are thereby prevented from the undesired rotational movements and their overlapped state in the second position is maintained.
the front side of the condenser (4) is rectangular ( Figure 2 and Figure 3).
the insertion members (7) are prefer bly fastened onto the long sides of the condenser (4). Thus, a wider space is thereby provided for the insertion members (7) when they are brought to the first position.
the insertion members (7) are rotated in opposite directions while being brought from the first position to the second position. Convenience in use is thereby provided.
the insertion members (7) may have equal or different lengths. However, in either case, the sum of the lengths of the insertion members (7) is either equal to or greater than the distance between the rotational axes of the insertion members (7).
the insertion members (7) serve both for securing the condenser (4) into the casing and for carrying it and thus, eliminate the need for an extra handle on the condenser (4). Furthermore, insertion members (7) do not form an obstacle interrupting the flow of circulation air since they can be separated and positioned on the sides of the condenser (4) after securing the condenser (4) into the casing (5).
