Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to clothes and laundry drying machines, particularly to tumble dryers comprising a rotatable drum arranged for causing agitation of the articles to be dried. More specifically, the present invention relates to the aspects of rotatably supporting the dryer drum within a dryer cabinet.
- Tumble dryers are home appliances adapted to dry clothes, garments, laundry in general by circulating hot, dry air within a tumbler or drum (sometimes also referred to as drying tub) designed to contain the articles to be dried.
- a tumbler or drum sometimes also referred to as drying tub
- Tumble dryers having the drum formed of a generically cylindrical body open at its front and rear ends, abutting against front and rear bulkheads are known in the art.
- the drum is rotatably mounted within a machine cabinet, and in operation it is made to rotate in order to cause agitation of the articles to be dried, which repeatedly tumble with the drum while being invested by the drying air flow.
- drying machine drum is installed within the machine cabinet above a plastic base, made of lower and upper base portions formed by injection molding, wherein air passages are formed for the drying air flow.
- the drying air flow is typically caused to pass through the drum, exiting therefrom from the front access opening, then it passes through a condensing system, where the humid air is at least partially dried, and the dried air flow is caused to invest a heating arrangement, like an electrical resistance, to be warmed; the warmed drying air flow then passes again through the drum, and repeats the cycle.
- a condensing system where the humid air is at least partially dried, and the dried air flow is caused to invest a heating arrangement, like an electrical resistance, to be warmed; the warmed drying air flow then passes again through the drum, and repeats the cycle.
- the condensing system may be an air-air heat exchanger, exploiting air taken in from the outside.
- Other known dryers exploit a heat pump to dry the drying air flow; in these dryers, the function of the heating arrangement may be performed by the heat pump itself, and the electrical resistance may thus not be provided for.
- the drum is supported on a generally horizontal axis by a system including a pair of rollers supported on brackets fixed to a rear bulkhead, and by a pair of slide bearings supported by similar brackets fixed to a front bulkhead, the bulkheads being in turn fixed to panels of the cabinet.
- a drying machine wherein the drum rests on four supporting rolls, with axis parallel to the drum axis, which rotate on supports secured to the external structure of the machine and disposed in pairs along two generatrices of the drum in symmetrical position with respect to a vertical plane crossing the drum rotation axis.
- Four upper rolls keep the drum in position on the supporting rolls.
- the drum is rotatably supported by two rollers fixed to the front part of the appliance, and a bearing pin located on the back panel of the appliance.
- EP-A-1541742 discloses a laundry dryer with a roller-support.
- the drive roller is supported on a carrier ring and runs on a drive ring surrounding the loading aperture and the gap between the drum front and roller face is closed by a protective flanged disc locked by a peg against rotation.
- the drum is rotatably supported in a known manner by a rear bearing.
- drum supporting elements mounted to parts of the machine cabinet, undesired vibrations are transmitted to the cabinet by the rotation of the drum.
- a tumble dryer comprising:
- Said plastic basement may be formed by injection moulding.
- the pins are preferably provided on the upper basement portion.
- Each of said pins may protrude from a respective bracket formed in the plastic basement.
- One or more of said brackets are formed in a single piece construction with the plastic basement, particularly with the upper basement portion.
- the pins are preferably formed in a single piece construction with said plastic basement, in particular with the respective bracket. This reduces the number of components.
- the rollers may be mounted on the respective pins by means of screws or by snap-fit engagement.
- the plastic basement may be adapted to accommodate a condenser or a heat pump.
- Said plastic basement is preferably adapted to the mounting thereon of panels of the machine cabinet, particularly bulkheads for the drum.
- the plastic basement that is used to guide the drying air flow is also exploited as the support element of the rollers that in turn rotatably support the drum.
- An advantage of the present invention is that it is possible to perform intermediate functional tests during the drier manufacturing process, because for the rotation of the drum it is not necessary to fully assemble the drier; in particular, the panels of the machine cabinet need not be mounted.
- the cabinet panels can be assembled essentially at the end of the manufacturing, with less risks of scraping or other aesthetical defects.
- the machine assembly is also made easier and faster, and service or maintenance of the drier are also facilitated.
- Another advantage is that since the support of the drum is entrusted to the plastic basement, vibrations deriving from the rotation of the drum are effectively damp.
- roller pins formed integrally, in a single piece with the plastic basement, the number of dryer components is reduced, and this is advantageous in terms of manufacturing costs, inventory management, assembly operations.
- the tumble drier generally denoted as 100 , comprises a drum 105 for the loading of the articles to be dried, such as clothes, garments, linen, and similar articles.
- the drum 105 is a generically cylindrical body, for example made of stainless steel, open at the two ends 105a and 105b thereof (a front end 105a and a rear end 105b ).

A top panel (also not shown in the drawing) closes the machine cabinet from above.
- the front and rear panels 120 and 130 form respectively front and rear bulkheads, against which the rim of the front and rear drum ends 105a and 105b abuts (gaskets or seals may be provided along the rims of the drum ends 105a and 105b , and/or on the inner side of the front and rear panels 120 and 130 , in corresponding positions).
- the basement 115 shown per-se and in greater detail in Figures 2 and 3 , is formed by a lower basement portion 115a and an upper basement portion 115b , mounted the latter onto the former; the lower and upper basement portions 115a and 115b are in plastic material, and they may for example be formed by injection moulding.
- the lower and upper basement portions 115a and 115b are attached so as to make one integral to the other by means of welding or gluing along their matching edges.
- the lower and upper basement portions 115a and 115b are shaped in such a way that, when they are assembled, they define a sort of shell and form therebetween passages, ducts for a flow of drying air which, by means of suitable means like fans (accommodated within the machine cabinet), is caused to repeatedly circulate through the drum 105 , for drying the articles contained therein.
- the basement 115 is structured to be able to receive an air flow exiting the drum from the front end 105a and which is conveyed by an air conveyor (not shown) provided on the inner side of the front panel 120 (the plastic basement may also be adapted to the intake of air from the exterior environment), and to deliver the air flow to a heater, like an electrical resistance, arranged at the rear of the machine cabinet, for example supported by the rear panel 130 .

Description
- The present invention generally relates to clothes and laundry drying machines, particularly to tumble dryers comprising a rotatable drum arranged for causing agitation of the articles to be dried. More specifically, the present invention relates to the aspects of rotatably supporting the dryer drum within a dryer cabinet.
- Tumble dryers are home appliances adapted to dry clothes, garments, laundry in general by circulating hot, dry air within a tumbler or drum (sometimes also referred to as drying tub) designed to contain the articles to be dried.
- Tumble dryers having the drum formed of a generically cylindrical body open at its front and rear ends, abutting against front and rear bulkheads are known in the art.
- The drum is rotatably mounted within a machine cabinet, and in operation it is made to rotate in order to cause agitation of the articles to be dried, which repeatedly tumble with the drum while being invested by the drying air flow.
- One similar drying machine is described for example In
US 2006/0218976 ; the drying machine drum is installed within the machine cabinet above a plastic base, made of lower and upper base portions formed by injection molding, wherein air passages are formed for the drying air flow. - In a known type of tumble dryer, also referred to as "condenser dryer", the drying air flow is typically caused to pass through the drum, exiting therefrom from the front access opening, then it passes through a condensing system, where the humid air is at least partially dried, and the dried air flow is caused to invest a heating arrangement, like an electrical resistance, to be warmed; the warmed drying air flow then passes again through the drum, and repeats the cycle.
- The condensing system may be an air-air heat exchanger, exploiting air taken in from the outside. Other known dryers exploit a heat pump to dry the drying air flow; in these dryers, the function of the heating arrangement may be performed by the heat pump itself, and the electrical resistance may thus not be provided for.
- Solutions known in the art for rotatably supporting the drum within the machine cabinet make use of a plurality of rollers.
- For example, in
US 2,803,142 solutions using four pulleys are discussed, and an alternative solution using three pulleys is presented; the three pulleys, two of which are located on one side of the center of rotation of the drum, whereas the third pulley is located at the opposite side, are mounted through brackets to a base of the cabinet. - In some tumble dryers known in the art, such as that described in
US 3,816,942 , the drum is supported on a generally horizontal axis by a system including a pair of rollers supported on brackets fixed to a rear bulkhead, and by a pair of slide bearings supported by similar brackets fixed to a front bulkhead, the bulkheads being in turn fixed to panels of the cabinet. - In
EP 404252 - In
US 7,140,123 a drying apparatus is described in which the drying tub is rotatably supported by the apparatus housing. The tub is rotatably supported by front and rear brackets mounted to the front and rear walls of the housing, respectively, by means of respective annular support members protruding therefrom. Four rollers are provided, arranged in pairs at the front and rear brackets to elastically support the drying tub when an excessive amount of clothes is put thereinto. - According to other known solutions, the drum is rotatably supported by two rollers fixed to the front part of the appliance, and a bearing pin located on the back panel of the appliance.
-
EP-A-1541742 discloses a laundry dryer with a roller-support. The drive roller is supported on a carrier ring and runs on a drive ring surrounding the loading aperture and the gap between the drum front and roller face is closed by a protective flanged disc locked by a peg against rotation. At the rear, the drum is rotatably supported in a known manner by a rear bearing. - The Applicant has observed that the prior-art solutions for rotatably supporting the drum are not completely satisfactory.
- In particular, those solutions in which the elements (rollers, baring pin) that support the drum are mounted to parts of the machine cabinet, like for example front or rear panels thereof, are believed to be disadvantageous because in order to allow the rotation of the drum the machine cabinet needs to be closed. The Applicant believes that having the possibility to allow the rotation of the drum before closing the machine cabinet is particularly useful for performing intermediate functional tests during the assembly of the machine.
- Additionally, with the drum supporting elements mounted to parts of the machine cabinet, undesired vibrations are transmitted to the cabinet by the rotation of the drum.
- In view of the state of the art outlined in the foregoing, the Applicant has tackled the problem of how to devise an alternative solution for rotatably supporting the drum within the machine cabinet.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, a tumble dryer is provided comprising:
- a dryer cabinet, comprising a plastic basement having formed therein passages for a drying air flow;
- a drum rotatably accommodated within said cabinet;
- a plurality of rollers provided within said cabinet for rotatably supporting the drum;
- Said plastic basement may be formed by injection moulding.
- The pins are preferably provided on the upper basement portion.
- Each of said pins may protrude from a respective bracket formed in the plastic basement.
- One or more of said brackets are formed in a single piece construction with the plastic basement, particularly with the upper basement portion.
- The pins are preferably formed in a single piece construction with said plastic basement, in particular with the respective bracket. This reduces the number of components.
- The rollers may be mounted on the respective pins by means of screws or by snap-fit engagement.
- The plastic basement may be adapted to accommodate a condenser or a heat pump.
- Said plastic basement is preferably adapted to the mounting thereon of panels of the machine cabinet, particularly bulkheads for the drum.
- Thus, according to the present invention, the plastic basement that is used to guide the drying air flow is also exploited as the support element of the rollers that in turn rotatably support the drum.
- An advantage of the present invention is that it is possible to perform intermediate functional tests during the drier manufacturing process, because for the rotation of the drum it is not necessary to fully assemble the drier; in particular, the panels of the machine cabinet need not be mounted. The cabinet panels can be assembled essentially at the end of the manufacturing, with less risks of scraping or other aesthetical defects.
- The machine assembly is also made easier and faster, and service or maintenance of the drier are also facilitated.
- Another advantage is that since the support of the drum is entrusted to the plastic basement, vibrations deriving from the rotation of the drum are effectively damp.
- By having the roller pins formed integrally, in a single piece with the plastic basement, the number of dryer components is reduced, and this is advantageous in terms of manufacturing costs, inventory management, assembly operations.

In particular, thebasement 115 is structured to be able to receive an air flow exiting the drum from thefront end 105a and which is conveyed by an air conveyor (not shown) provided on the inner side of the front panel 120 (the plastic basement may also be adapted to the intake of air from the exterior environment), and to deliver the air flow to a heater, like an electrical resistance, arranged at the rear of the machine cabinet, for example supported by therear panel 130. Within thebasement 115, a condenser, for example an air-air heat exchanger or an evaporator of a heat pump (not shown in the drawings) is accommodated, for drying the humid air flow that comes from the drum. In case a heat pump is used, the provision of the electrical resistance may be dispensed for, its function being accomplished by the heat pump itself. - As clearly visible in
