Abstract

The dryer comprises programme and control means which allow the drying process to take its course in dependence on the residual moisture content of the clothes. The dryer also includes an indicator which indicates the degree of dryness reached by the clothes during the programme, in stages. The end of the drying programme may occur as soon as the actual degree of dryness of the clothes corresponds to that which has been preselected. The programme selector and indicator may be in the form of a rectangular assembly of panels in which the individual panels can be illuminated. The user can estimate from the panels when the programme will be finished, and can interrupt the programme to remove individual articles of clothing when the load contains different kinds of fabric.

Description

Antomatischer Wäs ehetrockner Die Erfindung betrifft einen Wäsehetrockner, insbesondere einen Wäsehetrockner nach dem Trommelprinzip, welcher mit Programm- und Steuereinriehtungen versehen ist, wodurch der Trocknungsprozeß in Abhängigkeit des Restfeuchtegehälts der Wäsche automatisch ablaufen kann. Antomatic laundry dryer The invention relates to a laundry dryer, in particular a tumble dryer based on the drum principle, which has a program and control units are provided, whereby the drying process is dependent the residual moisture content of the laundry can run off automatically.

Derartige Maschinen erfreuen sich heute im Haushalt zunehmender Beliebtheit, und sie werden hinsichtlich Gebrauchswert und Fortschrittlichkeit allgemein anerkannt.Such machines are enjoying increasing popularity in the household today, and they are generally recognized in terms of utility and progressiveness.

Dennoch weisen die vorbeschriebenen Geräte noch den Nachteil auf, daß#dem Benutzer nicht die Möglichkeit gegeben wird, in sinnvoller Weise in den automatisch ablaufenden Troeknungs prozeß eingreifen zu können. Dies kann bei einer charge mit 7Interschiedlichen Gewebearten empfehlenswert sein, wenn ztB.Nevertheless, the devices described above still have the disadvantage that # the user is not given the opportunity to access the to be able to intervene automatically running drying process. This can be done with a batch with 7 different types of fabric can be recommended, if ztB.

einige empfindliche Wäschestücke bereits vor Beendigung des gesamten Programms aus der Maschine genommen werden sollen.some delicate items of laundry before the end of the whole Program should be removed from the machine.

Weiterhin werden keine Anhaltspunkte gegeben, wie lange der Trocknungsprozeß noch ungefähr andauert.Furthermore, no indications are given as to how long the drying process will take still lasts approximately.

Aus diesem Grunde ist es die Aufgabe der Erfindung, einen Wäschetrockner der eingangs genannten Art zu schaffen, bei dem der vorbeschriebene Nachteil behoben ist und dessen Gebrauchswert erheblich gesteigert wird.For this reason, it is the object of the invention to provide a clothes dryer of the type mentioned to create, in which the above-described disadvantage is eliminated and its utility value is increased considerably.

Zu diesem Zweck ist die Erfindung dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß der Wäsehetrockner eine Anzeigevorrichtung aufweist, welche stufenweise den während des ablaufenden Trockenprogramms erreichten Troekengrad der Wäsche anzeigt.To this end, the invention is characterized in that the Laundry dryer has a display device, which gradually the during of the running drying program indicates the degree of dryness of the laundry.

Weitere Merkmale der Erfindung sind, daß die-Anzeige der einzelnen Trocknungsstufen ausgehend von der Stufe mit der größten Restfeuchte in Richtung zur Stufe mit der geringsten Restfeuchte abläuft und daß die Beendigung des Trocknungsprogramms eingeleitet wird, sobald der tatsächliche Trocknungsgrad der Wäsche mit dem vorgewahlten übereinstimmt.Further features of the invention are that the display of the individual Drying levels starting from the level with the greatest residual moisture in the direction runs to the level with the lowest residual moisture and that the drying program ends is initiated as soon as the actual degree of dryness of the laundry matches the preselected matches.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung ist in der Zeichnung schematisch dargestellt.An embodiment of the invention is shown schematically in the drawing shown.

Die einzige Zeichnung zeigt in perspektivischer Ansicht eine mögliche Ausführungsform des Anzeige- und Bedienung paneels eines Wäschetrockners 2.The only drawing shows a possible one in perspective Embodiment of the display and control panel of a tumble dryer 2.

Die Programmwahl und Programmanzeigevorrichtung 3 ist zÆB.The program selection and program display device 3 is zÆB.

als rechteckiges Skalenfeld ausgebildet, wobei die nebeneinanderliegenden Anzeigefelder beleuchtbar sind. Als Betätigungsorgane können beispielsweise Sensor-Tasten 4 gewählt werden.designed as a rectangular scale field, with the adjacent Display fields can be illuminated. Sensor buttons, for example, can be used as actuators 4 can be selected.

Die Ziffernsegmentanzeige 5 dient noch zur Kennzeichnung weiterer Programmzustände und mit dem Knopf 6 kann die Tür des Wäschetrockners 2 betätigt werden Wird nun vom Bedienenden z.B. das Programm "Supertrockentl-angewählt, so werden auch die im Verlaufe des Trockenprogramms vorher erreichten Trockenstufen nacheinander angezeigt.The digit segment display 5 is also used to identify others Program states and with the button 6 the door of the tumble dryer 2 can be operated If the operator now selects, for example, the program "Superdry-dry", so The drying levels previously reached during the drying program are also used displayed one after the other.

Bei Erreichen des Trocknungsgrades I,SupertrockenIT wird dann die Beendigung des Trocknens eingeleitet. Hier wird dann noch üblicherweise eine Beaufschlagung der Wäsche mit Kaltluft vorgenommen.When the degree of dryness I, Super Dry IT is reached, the Termination of drying initiated. Here there is usually an additional charge the laundry done with cold air.

Ist das Programm vollständig beendet, kann die Ziffernseg mentanzeige 5 ein E anzeigen.When the program has ended completely, the number segment display 5 will display an E.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Ausbildung des Trockners erhält der Benutzer den Vorteil, daß er in etwa abschätzen kann, wann das Programm beendet sein wird. Weiterhin kann bei einer Beladung mit unterschiedlichen Gewebearten eine Unterbrechung des Programms erfolgen, um einzelne Wäschestücke entnehmen zu können. Dies kann z.B. gegeben sein, wenn unter anderem pflegeleichte Wäschestücke in der Charge sindj die dann bei Erreichen des Programms ~Pflegeleicht" aus der Maschine genommen werden müssen.The inventive design of the dryer gives the user the advantage that he can roughly estimate when the program will end. Furthermore, there may be an interruption when loading with different types of tissue of the program in order to be able to remove individual items of laundry. This can e.g. be given if, among other things, easy-care items of laundry are in the batch j which are then removed from the machine when the "Easy-care" program is reached have to.
