Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an improved kind of clothes drying machine, both of the front-loading and the top-loading type, as well as of the condenser type, provided with a rotating drum and a drive motor to rotatably drive said rotating drum, and further provided with blower means, or fans, for forcedly circulating air in respective drying and condenser cooling ducts, wherein said drying machine is particularly compact in size, and wherein said two fans and said rotating drum are capable to be driven to independently rotate at different speeds that bear no correlation with each other.
  • Household condenser-type clothes drying machines are largely known in the art to have to be provided with means needed to rotatably drive both fans used to circulate air in the drying circuit and the condenser-cooling circuit, as well as - of course - to rotatably drive in a selective manner also the rotating drum in which the items to be dried are tumbled.
  • a measure that has in the meanwhile been taken in the art in view of solving this particular problem lies in the use of a single electric drive motor for linking to both the driven pulleys of the two distinct fans and the driven pulley of the drum.
  • a clothes drying machine comprises a rotating drum 1, a first drying-air duct 2 circulating a flow of hot air through said drum and collecting the hot moisture-laden air exiting the drum to convey it through a condenser 3, from which said flow of air is sent again - upon being heated up anew by the heating elements 14 - into the drum 1; it further comprises a first fan 4 provided to forcedly circulate a flow of air in and through said first duct 2, a second duct 5 that takes air in from the outside and conveys it - by the action of an appropriately provided second fan 6 - into and through said condenser 3, from which this flow of cooling air is eventually exhausted outside.
  • said two motors 7, 8 are arranged coaxially, and a first motor 7 is adapted to rotatably drive the respective first shaft 9, which extends through said first motor 7, and whose two end portions 10, 11 are arranged on the opposite sides of said motor.
  • the second electric motor 8 is arranged between said first motor 7 and an end portion 11 of said first shaft 9, wherein said second motor 8 is provided with a respective second shaft 14 made in the form of a hollow cylinder and so sized as to be able to contain said first shaft therewithin.
  • a third pulley 15 is applied on to the second shaft 14.
  • said third pulley 15 is located on the section of said second shaft lying on the side that is opposite to the one where the first motor is located - of course, with respect to said second motor.
  • a most advantageous improvement of the invention comprises providing the inventive clothes drying machine with suitable control and actuation means (not shown, owing to them being largely known as such in the art), which are adapted to act on said two motors in an independent manner.
  • each one of them is connected, preferably via driving belts or similar means of a per se known type, to a respective one of said two pulleys 12, 13 fitted on to said first shaft 7; on the contrary, the rotating drum 1 is connected - again via per se known means - to said third pulley 15.
  • said two motors may be controlled and rotatably driven in a manner that is fully independent of each other, and - most obviously - this enables not only the rotating speed of said two fans to be varied in a fully independent manner with respect to the rotating speed of the drum, but also the drum to be driven to rotate in the two opposite directions, while keeping the direction of rotation of the fans unaltered. It can therefore be most readily appreciated that the possibility is given in this way for the direction of rotation of the drum to be reversed without the power supply to the heating elements having to be at the same time cut off, since the flow of drying air is in fact able to independently go on uninterruptedly, along with the flow of condenser-cooling air, thereby practically reaching a second aim of the present invention.
  • both said motors can be accommodated and supported together within a same and single housing 20 that has typically the same overall size, and therefore takes up the same mounting space, as just a single one of the two traditional asynchronous or induction motors that are used in prior-art clothes drying machines.
  • a further improved embodiment of the present invention comprises taking advantage of the compact size and low space requirements of permanent-magnet motors in view of accommodating in said single and same housing 20 not the fan driving motor 7 and the drum driving motor 8, but rather three distinct motors, i.e. a first motor 7A, a second motor 7B, and a third motor 8 that operates to drive the rotating drum as in the afore-considered embodiment.
  • the motor 7 is split up into two separate motors 7A and 7B, respectively, which are independently linked to respective ones of said two fans 4 and 6 via respective mechanically unconnected shafts 9 and 9A.
