Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a home laundry drier.
  • the present invention relates to a rotary-drum home laundry drier, to which the following description refers purely by way of example.
  • rotary-drum laundry driers substantially comprise a substantially parallelepiped-shaped outer box casing; a cylindrical laundry drum housed in axially rotating manner inside the box casing, directly facing a laundry loading and unloading opening formed in the front face of the casing; a door hinged to the front face of the casing to rotate to and from a work position closing the opening in the front face of the casing to seal the laundry drum; and an electric motor for rotating the laundry drum about its longitudinal axis inside the casing.
  • Rotary-drum laundry driers of the above type also comprise a closed-circuit, hot-air generator designed to circulate inside the laundry drum a stream of hot air with a low moisture content and which flows through the laundry drum and over the laundry inside the drum to rapidly dry the laundry.
  • the acoustic frequencies of the noise produced by metal parts in the laundry striking the cylindrical wall of the laundry drum are normally amplified by the casing, which acts as a resonator, with all the drawbacks this entails.
  • a home laundry drier as claimed in Claim 1 and preferably, though not necessarily, in any one of the Claims depending directly or indirectly on Claim 1.
  • Number 1 in Figure 1 indicates as a whole a home laundry drier substantially comprising a preferably, though not necessarily, parallelepiped-shaped outer box casing 2; an airtight, preferably, though not necessarily, cylindrical laundry drying tub or chamber (not shown) for housing the laundry to be dried, and which is fixed substantially horizontally inside casing 2, directly facing a laundry loading and unloading opening 2a formed in the front face of casing 2; a door 3 hinged to the front face of casing 2 to rotate to and from a work position closing opening 2a in the front face to seal the laundry drying tub; and a preferably, though not necessarily, cylindrical laundry drum 4 for housing the laundry for drying, and which is housed in axially rotating manner and preferably, though not necessarily, horizontally inside the drying tub.
  • laundry drum 4 is mounted for rotation about its longitudinal axis L, which, in the example shown, coincides with the longitudinal axis of the drying tub; is made of metal; has an end wall 4a and possibly a cylindrical lateral wall 4b, which are perforated or at any rate permeable to air, to assist airflow into the drum; and preferably, though not necessarily, has a number of ribs or projections 5 projecting towards the centre of the drum from the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b.
  • projections 5 extend, substantially parallel to longitudinal axis L, along the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b, and are equally spaced angularly along the whole circumference of cylindrical lateral wall 4b.
  • Laundry drier 1 also comprises an electric motor (not shown) or similar, which, on command, rotates laundry drum 4 about longitudinal axis L inside the drying tub; and a closed-circuit, hot-air generator (not shown) housed inside casing 2 and designed to circulate inside the drying tub and laundry drum 4 a stream of hot air with a low humidity content, and which flows over, to rapidly dry, the laundry inside the drum.
  • an electric motor not shown
  • a closed-circuit, hot-air generator housed inside casing 2 and designed to circulate inside the drying tub and laundry drum 4 a stream of hot air with a low humidity content, and which flows over, to rapidly dry, the laundry inside the drum.
  • laundry drier 1 also comprises an internal jacket 6 of predetermined thickness, which is fixed firmly, but in easily removable manner, inside laundry drum 4 to line and protect the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4.
  • Jacket 6 substantially consists of a sheet 7 of soft lining material of appropriate thickness, which is shaped to line the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4, preferably, though not necessary, with the exception of the areas occupied by projections 5; and of fastening means 8 designed to fix sheet 7 of lining material firmly, but in easily removable manner, to the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b.
  • sheet 7 of lining material is defined by a sheet 7 of plastic material of preferably, though not necessarily, 1 to 10 millimetre thickness, and is divided into a number of cylindrical sectors, each of which is shaped to completely line the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4 bounded laterally by two adjacent projections 5.
  • sheet 7 of lining material in the example shown comprises a number of solid mats of open- or closed-cell plastic polymer foam (such as neoprene or polyurethane), each of which is 1 to 10 millimetres thick, is shaped to completely line the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4 bounded laterally by two adjacent projections 5, and has, embedded in it, a number of permanent magnets 8 for securing the plastic polymer foam mat magnetically to the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4.
  • open- or closed-cell plastic polymer foam such as neoprene or polyurethane
  • At least cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4 must be made of metal.
  • Permanent magnets 8 define the fastening means 8 of jacket 6, and must be so arranged along the whole plastic polymer foam mat 7 that the attraction force produced by interaction between the magnetic field generated by permanent magnets 8 and the metal body of laundry drum 4 is sufficient to ensure adhesion of the plastic polymer foam mat 7 to the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b of the drum.
  • sheet 7 of lining material may comprise one or more sheets of extruded plastic mesh or perforated material to facilitate airflow through cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4, if this wall is also perforated or at any rate permeable to air.
  • the sheets of extruded plastic mesh or perforated material may be 1 to 10 millimetres thick, and permanent magnets 8 may be embedded in them to fix each sheet of extruded plastic material to the surface of cylindrical lateral wall 4b of laundry drum 4.
  • Sheet 7 of lining material may also have soundproofing properties to further deaden the noise produced by metal parts in the laundry rotating inside laundry drum 4 striking jacket 6, thus further reducing the noise level of the household appliance.
  • jacket 6 can also be applied to the laundry drums of existing driers, with all the advantages this entails.
  • laundry drier 1 is not provided with an airtight laundry drying tub or chamber, and the laundry drum 4 is mounted in axially rotating manner directly inside box casing 2.
  • end wall 4a of the laundry drum 4 is perforated or permeable to air, and the front opening of the laundry drum 4 directly faces the laundry loading and unloading opening 2a in the front face of box casing 2.
  • door 3 seals in airtight manner directly the front opening of laundry drum 4.
  • permanent magnets 8 may be replaced with press-studs or other click-on fastening devices, though these are obviously not so easy to use.
  • cylindrical lateral wall 4b may be the only part of the drum made of metal.
