Definitions

  • Drying and washing/drying laundry machines - which will be referred to simply as laundry machine in the following - typically comprise a casing substantially parallepiped-shaped.
  • the casing accommodates a laundry treating chamber, comprising a drum, generally rotatable, apt to contain the laundry to be dried, in the case of a washing/drying laundry machine, the drum is rotatably contained in a tub.
  • a front panel of the casing has a loading opening to access the treating chamber for loading/unloading the laundry, and a door is provided for closing the loading opening, particularly during the laundry machine operation.
  • the Applicant has devised an auxiliary de-fluff filter that is easy to insert into, and to remove out of a corresponding housing, adapted to operate together with a (primary) de-fluff filter.
  • the casing top element further comprises a inner panel and a base element, the inner panel being adapted to couple with at least a portion of the base element in such a way to define the air-path for the flow of drying, the first and second filter housings being provided between the inner panel and the base element.
  • Figure 1 is a perspective view of a laundry machine, globally denoted as 100, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a filter housing 217 is provided suitable to house a de-fluff filter 218 (described in greater detail below).
  • the filter housing 217 has roughly a right trapezoid outline in plan view (e.g., similar to a grand piano), with a shorter sidewall 217a (corresponding to a lesser base of the right trapezoid) in fluid communication with the chamber outlet by means of the inlet opening 210, and a larger sidewall 217b (opposite to the shorter sidewall 217a, and corresponding to a greater base of the right trapezoid) that has a housing aperture 219 opened on the machine front wall 115 preferably in a separating wall 205a (visible in Figure 5C ) of the base element 205, preferably in a portion adjacent to the control panel 130, even more preferably above the drawer 135 for allowing the insertion of the de-fluff filter 218.
  • the moisture condensing element 225 has the function of dehydrating the drying air, by cooling it down; the drying air heating element 230 has instead the function of heating the dehydrated drying air.
  • a compressor (not shown) for the heat pump may be attached to the base element 205 in correspondence of the front-right corner thereof, the body of the compressor protruding from below the base element 205.
  • the compressor may be located in the bottom of the casing 110, attached to the basement of the laundry machine 100, and be fluidly connected to the moisture condensing element 225 accommodated in the top 125 by means of flexible pipes that preferably run along a rear corner of the casing 110 or along the laundry treatment chamber 105 of the laundry machine 100.
  • the laundry machine 100 may comprise an air-air or an air-water heat exchanger apparatus and an electric heater instead of the heat pump apparatus.
  • the filtering mesh 321 may be made in any suitable material, such as for example a suitable polymer (e.g., Polyethersulfone or "PES") that may be over-injected onto the internal face of the second transversal sidewall 303d.
  • a suitable polymer e.g., Polyethersulfone or "PES”
  • the filtering mesh 321 may be attached to the frame 318 of the second transversal sidewall 303d in any other suitable manner (e.g., by gluing together the filtering mesh 321 and the second transversal sidewall 303d) or, conversely, may be removably coupled with the frame 318 (e.g., by providing suitable snap-fit engage elements).
  • a plurality of smaller filtering meshes may be provided each one adapted to be coupled to a respective window 318a.
  • the mullion elements 318b, along enhancing the structural strength of the frame 318 also enhance a robustness the filtering mesh 321 preventing deformation of the filtering mesh 321 that the air flow may provoke, e.g. a bending of the central portion of the filtering mesh 321 in the direction of the flow of air that could cause a concentration of trapped fluff in such bent central portion.
  • an abutment element 330a is provided that is adapted to prevent the swinging bulkhead 309 from swinging towards the outside of the filter box 303 (i.e., the swinging bulkhead 309 is allowed to swing only towards the inside of the filter box 303). Thanks to the swinging bulkhead 309 and the abutment element 330a it is possible to prevent, or substantially reducing, any spurious flow of air from the de-fluff filter 218 towards the inlet opening 210 (i.e., opposite to the direction desired for the flow of drying air).
  • the locking element 315 also comprises a biasing element, such as a coil spring 315d, which is coupled to the push portion 315a (at a rear side thereof) at one of its ends, and contact a recessed wall 324d of the cover support 324 at the opposite end.
  • a biasing element such as a coil spring 315d
  • the top aperture 303t of the filter box 303 is closed by the lid 306, preferably in an airtight manner.
  • the lid 306 may be preferably made of a suitable polymer.
  • the sealing border 357c is designed to substantially seal the top aperture 303t of the filter box 303, when in a closed position, thus allowing air entering and/or exiting a hollow chamber 361 within the de-fluff filter 218 (i.e., defined by the filter box 303 and the lid 306 in closed position in which trapped fluff remains confined) only through the inlet aperture 330 and the windows 318a in the second transversal sidewall 303d.
  • the de-fluff filter 218 along with trapping the fluff carried by the drying air flow, particularly thanks to the guiding wall 354 and the blades 363, directs the drying air flow towards the moisture condensing unit 225 with a minimal generation of turbulences and with a homogeneous distribution thereof along the whole length of the transversal opened side 274d, thus improving the heat exchanging operation of the heat exchanger 225 and 230.
