Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved kind of condenser-type clothes drying machine, preferably of the type for use in households, which is adapted to perform clothes drying cycles, in which the drying process is carried out by circulating a flow of hot air within a drum holding the clothes to be dried; according to the prior-art, this hot drying air, upon having removed and taken up the moisture contained in the clothes, is blown in this moisture-laden state thereof onto a colder surface, so that said moisture is caused to condense and the resulting condensation water collects into an appropriate container that is usually arranged in the lower front portion of the machine.
  • the lid For it to be able to sustain such an effort exerted thereonto, the lid, along with the related hinge, must be adequately sized, which again means undesirable added costs.
  • a clothes drying machine provided with a container for collecting condensation water, which is accommodated in a related compartment adapted to be closed by a respective lid, in which closing said lid automatically ensures that said container, i.e. the inlet valve thereof, is caused to be coupled to the water-carrying circuit included in the machine to convey the condensation water thereinto.
  • a clothes drying machine comprises a rotating drum (not shown) holding the clothes to be dried, in which there is circulated a flow of hot drying air.
  • the condensation water from the moisture removed from the clothes, as produced with means that have no relevance to the present invention, is conveyed for collection into an appropriate container 1, which is normally housed in an appropriate accommodation 2 situated on the front lower side of the machine, said accommodation being closable by an appropriate lid 3.
  • a pressure member 4 that is designed so that, when the lid is being closed, said pressure member 4 is caused to first come into contact and then push with a gradually increasing force said container, in such a manner as to make it impossible for said container not to come into correct coupling with the corresponding circuit provided in the machine to convey the condensation water thereinto.
  • the above-cited pressure member 4 is not only provided so as to be movable relative to the lid by hinging it on a pin 5 secured to said lid, but it also provided so as to be displaceable axially relative to said pin. From the illustrations in said Figures it clearly appears that the hinging pin is arranged in a vertical position, i.e. a position that is similar to the axis of the hinge, so that, when the lid is open and still, said pressure member 4 is capable of rotating in the sense of moving closer to or away from the container.
  • a spring 6 that acts onto said pressure member, biasing it into sliding in a pre-determined direction A with respect to an axis that extends parallel to the axis of rotation of said pin 5, for a mode of operation that shall be explained in greater detail further on.
  • an actuating member 7 that is capable of rotating relative to an axis extending parallel to the axis of rotation of the lid 3, and is provided with an inclined portion 8; in said pressure member 4 there is provided an aperture 9 that is delimited by an upper portion 9A on top and a lower portion 9B at the bottom, wherein said lower portion is so shaped as to include a surface 9C, which is in turn inclined towards the inside of the lid and is situated on the lower border of said aperture 9.
  • a further improvement of the present invention may be easily achieved by taking into account the fact that any closing operation of the lid, as just described above, is of course followed by an opening one.
  • the actuating member 7 is provided, at the outward facing extremity thereof, with hook-up means 14, whereas the upper portion 9A is provided with appropriate engagement means, which are represented by way of example in Figure 3 in the form of a particularly shaped edge 15 delimiting on top the aperture 9, in such a manner as to ensure that these means are capable of automatically engage each other ( Figure 7), so that, at a certain point as the lid is being opened, the hook-up means 14 starts pulling the edge 15 and, as a result, the entire pressure member 4 with it.
  • a last improvement can be easily achieved if the pin 5 is allowed to coincide with the pin ensuring the rotation of the lid relative to the casing of the machine; this would in fact introduce a manufacturing simplification and a corresponding reduction in costs, without affecting the functional effectiveness and operating reliability of the present invention to any appreciable extent.

    - un tambour rotatif contenant le linge à sécher,
    - des moyens adaptés pour faire circuler un flux d'air de séchage chaud à travers ledit tambour,
    - des moyens adaptés pour condenser l'humidité contenue dans ledit air de séchage,
    - un récipient extractible (1) adapté pour recueillir et contenir l'eau résultant de ladite condensation préalable de l'humidité contenue dans l'air de séchage,
    - un couvercle (3) pouvant être ouvert de l'extérieur et adapté pour permettre d'accéder audit récipient extractible,
    - ledit couvercle étant muni d'un élément de pression (4) adapté pour pousser ledit récipient (1) vers l'intérieur quand le couvercle se déplace en se fermant,
    - ledit élément de pression (4) étant appliqué sur la face intérieure dudit couvercle,
    caractérisée en ce que
    - ledit élément de pression est adapté pour tourner par rapport audit couvercle à l'aide de moyens à broche (5) fixés audit couvercle,
    - entre ledit élément de pression et ladite face intérieure dudit couvercle sont prévus des moyens de butée (4A, 11, 12) adaptés pour délimiter à une distance prédéterminée l'ampleur du déplacement dudit élément de pression (4) en direction dudit couvercle.
  2. Machine à sécher le linge selon la revendication 1, caractérisée en ce que
    - ledit élément de pression est adapté pour coulisser axialement par rapport à ladite broche (5) et comporte une surface inclinée (9C),
    - il est prévu un ressort (6) adapté pour pousser l'élément de pression en coulissement dans une direction pré-établie (A) par rapport à l'axe de ladite broche,
    - il est prévu un élément d'actionnement (7) adapté pour tourner par rapport à la fois à ladite machine et audit couvercle autour d'un axe qui est sensiblement parallèle à l'axe de rotation dudit couvercle, et adapté pour mettre en prise ledit élément de pression,
    - ledit élément d'actionnement (7) est adapté pour coulisser contre ladite surface inclinée (9C), de sorte que, quand ledit élément de pression agit contre ledit élément d'actionnement durant la phase de fermeture du couvercle, ledit élément de pression (4) est poussé en coulissement dans la direction opposée (B) par rapport à ladite direction pré-établie (A),
    - il est prévu des moyens de dégagement (13) entre une partie (11) dudit élément de pression et une partie correspondante (12) dudit couvercle (3), lesdits moyens étant adaptés pour permettre auxdites parties respectives de se désengager l'une de l'autre quand ledit élément de pression (4) est déplacé dans ladite direction opposée (B), ledit élément de pression (4) pouvant continuer à se déplacer en direction dudit couvercle et à se déplacer d'une nouvelle longueur de déplacement (C) quand ledit désengagement s'est ainsi produit.
