Definitions
- the invention is in the field of household appliances, such as in particular tumble dryer, washer-dryer or other devices where operationally deposits such as lint, hair or other contaminants are filtered out by a filter or a filter element. Many such devices require the filter to be removed from the device for cleaning or maintenance purposes.
- the invention relates to a receiving device for a removable filter, which is arranged in a process air duct of a household appliance, with a receiving opening for at least partially receiving the filter and with a seal which seals the receiving opening with respect to the filter when the filter is inserted.
- the DE 33 04 441 A1 discloses a lint filter device for a household laundry drier which avoids entry of lint through leaks between the filter frame and the manhole frame into the exhaust duct.
- a frame member of the filter at its air inlet side with a filter fabric surrounding and applied from the inside of the manhole frame seal is provided and the insertion of the lint filter is formed stepwise narrowing.
- the DE 197 56 708 C2 relates to a tumble dryer with a lint filter device, which is arranged removably in the closure door of the tumble dryer, wherein the process air flow first flows through a main screen surface and then a main screen surface arranged substantially perpendicular side screen surface.
- the WO 2011/061068 A1 relates to a dryer with a substantially closed process air flow, which flows through a first removable lint filter. Details regarding the lint filter removal are not addressed in this document.
- the US2003 / 0154618 A1 describes a separate cleaning device to easily and conveniently remove lint adhering to the screen of a lint filter of a clothes dryer for the user.
- the user removes the lint filter from the receiving device arranged in the process air duct of the tumble dryer and introduces the lint filter into a waste container of the separate cleaning device accessible through a receiving slot.
- arranged around the receiving opening stripping cause that adhering to the filter lint from this and to retain in the container back.
- the EP 0 443 361 A1 relates to a monitoring device for a lint filter, which prevents closing of the loading door and thus start-up of the tumble dryer, as long as the lint filter is not inserted in the receiving device.
- a bracket is provided on the loading door, which dips when closing the door in an associated recess.
- the filter slides on a closing element having a flat wall portion sized slightly larger than the cross-section of the process air channel.
- the closing element also has a flat slide member which extends at right angles to the wall part and blocks the entry path for the bracket of the loading door by the bias of a torsion spring. When removing the lint filter, the closing element slides on the one side wall of the filter.
- the from the DE 196 13 298 C1 known device for a household laundry dryer provides a sealing lip on the lower frame leg of the lint filter, which forms a collecting trough together with other filter-side elements, which is removed during filter cleaning together with the filter.
- the drip tray catches any fluff falling off the filter discs when the filter is removed. This prevents that when removing the lint filter from the receiving opening retained lint and small parts fall into the process air duct and can interfere with the drying process.
- the DE 20 2007 014 571 U1 describes a filter, in particular for tumble dryer, for catching the lint generated during the drying process and lint with a arranged in a frame filter medium made of plastic, which is sealed in the dry air line by means of a seal, removable and reusable.
- the frame of the filter is formed by the seal itself, which is firmly connected to the filter medium.
- the object of the present invention is to ensure that both the filter side adhering and deposited in the vicinity of the receiving opening fluff, hair and other deposits and contaminants are reliably kept away from the receiving opening when removing the filter.
- a receiving device of the type mentioned above in that the seal is arranged receiving opening side and at least one sealing element which arrives at a removal of the filter from a sealing operating position in a shielding in which it shields at least a portion of the receiving opening surrounds, so that upon removal of the filter is a collapse of lint, hair or other contaminants or small, to be treated in the household appliance objects safely prevented in the receiving opening.
- the inventive design of the seal or the active sealing elements ensures that when removing the filter falling into lint, hair or other contaminants or even small, to be treated in the household appliance items (such as small laundry) in the receiving opening safely is prevented. Thus they can not get into the receiving opening and do not lead to impairment of the device operation.
- the retained lint and impurities can be easily removed or removed. But it can also be taken care of (eg by the geometric configuration of the seal or the sealing element, for example by corresponding brims or by crimping) that the retained lint and impurities when reinserting the filter, for example along the filter outer surfaces slide in such a way that the Contaminants are not encountered in the receiving opening even when reinserting the filter.
- a particular aspect of the invention is that the seal arranged on the receiving opening side automatically moves from its sealing operating position into the shielding position when the filter is removed. This can be achieved by a mechanical drive, by spring elements or particularly preferably by the geometric or elastic design of the sealing elements or the sealing lips.
- a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention in this connection provides that the sealing element has at least one sealing lip which can be pivoted from the operating position into the shielding position.
- the sealing element has at least one elastic sealing lip which is erected upon removal of the filter.
- the necessary for the installation of the seal or its sealing element in the shielding position kinetic energy is provided by the elasticity of the sealing lip.
- the sealing lip can be brought or pivoted against its own spring bias in the operating position when inserting the filter.
- the seal may particularly preferably have a pivotable sealing lip or a pivotable sealing web.
- the seal may be at least partially made of an elastomer.
- a manufacturing and assembly technology preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the seal is a two-component component, with a sealing element which consists of an elastomer, and with a mounting region which is made of a different material.
- the seal in their properties - namely with regard to the sealing properties by the elastomeric material and in terms of their fastening properties by the other material (for example, a thermoplastic material) - independently optimized.
- the mounting region has at least one latching element with which the seal is fastened on the receiving opening side.
- FIG. 1 shows a receiving device 1, which may be arranged for example in a non-illustrated process air duct 2 of a clothes dryer, not shown.
- the following description refers to a tumble dryer with a lint filter, which in the region of the upper process air duct in the end shield of a known per se (see, for example, the aforementioned DE 196 13 298 C1 ) Tumble dryer can be arranged.
- the device has a receiving opening 4 for a removable lint filter 5.
- the filter 5 in a manner known per se, for example, from the documents mentioned at the beginning, comprises a filter material or a filter screen which removes said lint or impurities, e.g. filtered out of the process air circulation of a tumble dryer.
- the filter has an air inlet region 6, which is indicated only schematically, and an air outlet region 7.
- the filter 5 In the in FIG. 1 In the situation shown, the filter 5 is in the operating position, in which it is inserted into the receiving opening 4 and thus able to filter out lint from the process air.
- the area between the filter 5 and the receiving opening 4 is sealed by a seal 9 located in the sealing operating position 8.
- the seal 9 has for this purpose sealing elements 10 in the form of sealing lips 11, 12.
- FIG. 2 shows in enlargement a section A from FIG. 1 in which one recognizes the walls 14, 15 of the filter 5.
- the sealing lip 12 of the seal 9 has nestled tight, so that the intermediate region between the receiving opening 4 and the filter 5 is reliably sealed against the ingress of lint or other foreign matter.
- FIG. 3 shows the beginning of the removal process of the filter 5 from the receiving opening 4 with release of the inlet region 16 of the receiving opening 4.
- the sealing lips 11, 12 - as indicated by arrows 21, 22 - in a Aufklapp- or pivoting movement of the removal direction 23 of Filters 5 following autonomously in a shielding 24.
- FIG. 3 For reasons of presentation somewhat delayed (lagging) shown movement situation of the sealing lips 11, 12, these just start to set up. This can be done particularly preferably by the inherent elasticity of the sealing lips 11, 12, for example, by being made of an elastomer.
- the sealing lips 11, 12 can also be designed as (elastically) folding or pivotable webs 25, 26 and, for example, by a mechanical coupling with the removal movement of the filter 5 or by a separate spring element, for example, an integrated leaf spring, get into the shielding 24.
- FIG. 4 shows after further removal of the filter 5 in the removal direction 23, the now fully swung or unfolded sealing lips 11, 12 or sealing webs 25, 26, which are now fully erect in the shielding 24.
- any existing or accumulated lint 31 or impurities 32 are thus reliably prevented from falling into the receiving opening 4 and into the process air duct 2, and can be removed manually in a simple manner .
- the sealing lips or sealing webs which bear sealingly against the filter in the operating position, are designed and placed opposite the receiving opening such that, preferably at least in the critical areas when removing the filter, these elements are erected in such a way that they provide reliable shielding or a collection location for the lint and impurities form.
- Particularly preferred is the seal 9 with the sealing lip (eg 12, see. FIG.
- seal 9 when Injection molded part or extrusion part made of an elastomer.
- seal 9 is particularly preferred as the seal 9 as a two-component component 40 (FIG. FIG. 2 ), wherein the sealing portion 41 of the gasket is made of an elastomer 42, and the fastening portion (mounting portion) 43 made of thermoplastic resin 44 is used.
- This allows a simple and reliable latching by means of a latching element in the form of a latching lug 45 in the region of the receiving opening 4.

Description
Die Erfindung liegt auf dem Gebiet der Haushaltsgeräte, wie insbesondere Wäschetrockner, Waschtrockner oder andere Geräte, bei denen betriebsbedingt Ablagerungen wie Flusen, Haare oder andere Verunreinigungen durch einen Filter oder ein Filterelement ausgefiltert werden. In vielen derartigen Geräten ist es erforderlich, dass der Filter zu Reinigungszwecken oder zu Wartungszwecken aus dem Gerät entfernt werden kann.The invention is in the field of household appliances, such as in particular tumble dryer, washer-dryer or other devices where operationally deposits such as lint, hair or other contaminants are filtered out by a filter or a filter element. Many such devices require the filter to be removed from the device for cleaning or maintenance purposes.
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Aufnahmevorrichtung für einen entnehmbaren Filter, die in einem Prozessluftkanal eines Haushaltsgeräts angeordnet ist, mit einer Aufnahmeöffnung zur wenigstens teilweisen Aufnahme des Filters und mit einer Dichtung, die bei eingesetztem Filter die Aufnahmeöffnung gegenüber dem Filter abdichtet.The invention relates to a receiving device for a removable filter, which is arranged in a process air duct of a household appliance, with a receiving opening for at least partially receiving the filter and with a seal which seals the receiving opening with respect to the filter when the filter is inserted.
Es sind vielfältige Aufnahmevorrichtungen für Filter in Haushaltsgeräten bekannt, die nach verschiedenen Aspekten optimiert sind. So beschreibt die

Mit den vorgenannten Ausgestaltungen ist weitestgehend sichergestellt, dass bereits auf dem Flusenfilter befindliche Flusen oder andere Verunreinigungen bei der Entnahme des Filters aus dem Haushaltsgerät nicht in die Aufnahmeöffnung und damit beispielsweise in einen Prozessluftkreislauf gelangen können. Noch nicht hinreichend Rechnung getragen ist allerdings der Problematik, dass sich gerade in der Umgebung eines Flusenfilters häufig Flusen, Haare und/oder Kleinteile ansammeln können, die beim Entnehmen des Filters in unerwünschter Weise in die Aufnahmeöffnung gelangen könnten.With the aforementioned embodiments is largely ensured that already on the lint filter fluff or other contaminants in the removal of the filter from the household appliance can not get into the receiving opening and thus, for example, in a process air cycle. However, not sufficiently taken into account is the problem that just in the vicinity of a lint filter fluff, hair and / or small parts can accumulate, which could get into the receiving opening in an undesirable manner when removing the filter.
Vor diesem Hintergrund ist Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung sicherzustellen, dass bei Entnahme des Filters sowohl filterseitig anhaftende als auch in der Umgebung der Aufnahmeöffnung abgelagerte Flusen, Haare und andere Ablagerungen und Verunreinigungen zuverlässig von der Aufnahmeöffnung ferngehalten werden.Against this background, the object of the present invention is to ensure that both the filter side adhering and deposited in the vicinity of the receiving opening fluff, hair and other deposits and contaminants are reliably kept away from the receiving opening when removing the filter.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch eine Merkmalskombination entsprechend dem unabhängigen Patentanspruch gelöst. Vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich auch aus der nachfolgenden Beschreibung, aus der beigefügten Zeichnung sowie aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen, deren Merkmale einzeln und in beliebiger Kombination miteinander angewendet werden können.This object is achieved by a combination of features according to the independent claim. Advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the following description, from the accompanying drawings and from the dependent claims whose features can be used individually and in any combination with each other.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß demnach bei einer Aufnahmevorrichtung der eingangs genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Dichtung aufnahmeöffnungsseitig angeordnet ist und wenigstens ein Dichtelement aufweist, das bei Entnahme des Filters aus einer abdichtenden Betriebsposition in eine Abschirmposition gelangt, in der es zumindest einen Teil der Aufnahmeöffnung abschirmend umgibt, so dass bei Entnahme des Filters ein Hereinfallen von Flusen, Haaren oder anderen Verunreinigungen oder kleinen, in dem Haushaltsgerät zu behandelnden Gegenständen in die Aufnahmeöffnung sicher verhindert ist.This object is achieved according to the invention in a receiving device of the type mentioned above in that the seal is arranged receiving opening side and at least one sealing element which arrives at a removal of the filter from a sealing operating position in a shielding in which it shields at least a portion of the receiving opening surrounds, so that upon removal of the filter is a collapse of lint, hair or other contaminants or small, to be treated in the household appliance objects safely prevented in the receiving opening.
Durch die erfindungsgemäße Gestaltung der Dichtung bzw. der aktiven Dichtelemente (Dichtlippen) ist sichergestellt, dass bei Entnahme des Filters ein Hereinfallen von Flusen, Haaren oder anderen Verunreinigungen oder sogar kleinen, in dem Haushaltsgerät zu behandelnden Gegenständen (beispielsweise kleine Wäschestücke) in die Aufnahmeöffnung sicher verhindert ist. Damit können diese nicht in die Aufnahmeöffnung gelangen und nicht zur Beeinträchtigung des Gerätebetriebs führen.The inventive design of the seal or the active sealing elements (sealing lips) ensures that when removing the filter falling into lint, hair or other contaminants or even small, to be treated in the household appliance items (such as small laundry) in the receiving opening safely is prevented. Thus they can not get into the receiving opening and do not lead to impairment of the device operation.
In der Abschirmposition (bei entnommenem Filter) können die zurückgehaltenen Flusen und Verunreinigungen leicht entnommen oder entfernt werden. Es kann aber auch dafür gesorgt sein (z.B. durch die geometrische Ausgestaltung der Dichtung bzw. des Dichtelements, beispielsweise durch entsprechende Krempen oder durch ein Umbördeln), dass die zurückgehaltenen Flusen und Verunreinigungen bei einem Wiedereinsetzen des Filters beispielsweise entlang der Filteraußenflächen derart gleiten, dass die Verunreinigungen auch beim Wiedereinsetzen des Filters nicht in die Aufnahmeöffnung gestoßen werden.In the shielding position (with the filter removed), the retained lint and impurities can be easily removed or removed. But it can also be taken care of (eg by the geometric configuration of the seal or the sealing element, for example by corresponding brims or by crimping) that the retained lint and impurities when reinserting the filter, for example along the filter outer surfaces slide in such a way that the Contaminants are not encountered in the receiving opening even when reinserting the filter.
Ein besonderer Aspekt der Erfindung besteht darin, dass die aufnahmeöffnungsseitig angeordnete Dichtung bei Entnahme des Filters selbstständig aus ihrer abdichtenden Betriebsposition in die Abschirmposition gelangt bzw. überführt wird. Dies kann durch einen mechanischen Antrieb, durch Federelemente oder besonders bevorzugt auch durch die geometrische oder elastische Ausgestaltung der Dichtelemente bzw. der Dichtlippen erreicht werden.A particular aspect of the invention is that the seal arranged on the receiving opening side automatically moves from its sealing operating position into the shielding position when the filter is removed. This can be achieved by a mechanical drive, by spring elements or particularly preferably by the geometric or elastic design of the sealing elements or the sealing lips.
Eine in diesem Zusammenhang besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Dichtelement wenigstens eine aus der Betriebsposition in die Abschirmposition verschwenkbare Dichtlippe aufweist.A particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention in this connection provides that the sealing element has at least one sealing lip which can be pivoted from the operating position into the shielding position.
Nach einer in diesem Zusammenhang ebenfalls besonders vorteilhaften Fortbildung der Erfindung weist das Dichtelement wenigstens eine elastische Dichtlippe auf, die sich bei Entnahme des Filters aufstellt.After a likewise particularly advantageous development of the invention in this context, the sealing element has at least one elastic sealing lip which is erected upon removal of the filter.
Damit wird die zur Aufstellung der Dichtung bzw. deren Dichtelement in die abschirmende Position erforderliche Bewegungsenergie durch die Elastizität der Dichtlippe bereitgestellt. Insbesondere kann die Dichtlippe beim Einsetzen des Filters entgegen ihrer eigenen Federvorspannung in die Betriebsposition gebracht bzw. verschwenkt werden. Dazu kann die Dichtung besonders bevorzugt eine verschwenkbare Dichtlippe oder einen verschwenkbaren Dichtungssteg aufweisen. Bevorzugt kann dazu die Dichtung zumindest teilweise aus einem Elastomer gefertigt sein.Thus, the necessary for the installation of the seal or its sealing element in the shielding position kinetic energy is provided by the elasticity of the sealing lip. In particular, the sealing lip can be brought or pivoted against its own spring bias in the operating position when inserting the filter. For this purpose, the seal may particularly preferably have a pivotable sealing lip or a pivotable sealing web. Preferably, the seal may be at least partially made of an elastomer.
Eine fertigungs- und montagetechnisch bevorzugte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die Dichtung ein Zweikomponentenbauteil ist, mit einem Dichtelement, das aus einem Elastomer besteht, und mit einem Montagebereich, der aus einem anderen Material gefertigt ist. Damit ist die Dichtung in ihren Eigenschaften - nämlich hinsichtlich der Dichtungseigenschaften durch das Elastomermaterial und hinsichtlich ihrer Befestigungseigenschaften durch das andere Material (beispielsweise einen thermoplastischen Werkstoff) - unabhängig optimierbar.A manufacturing and assembly technology preferred embodiment of the invention provides that the seal is a two-component component, with a sealing element which consists of an elastomer, and with a mounting region which is made of a different material. Thus, the seal in their properties - namely with regard to the sealing properties by the elastomeric material and in terms of their fastening properties by the other material (for example, a thermoplastic material) - independently optimized.
Montagetechnisch besonders bevorzugt ist eine Weiterbildung der Erfindung dahingehend, dass der Montagebereich wenigstens ein Rastelement aufweist, mit dem die Dichtung aufnahmeöffnungsseitig befestigt ist.In terms of installation technology, a further development of the invention is that the mounting region has at least one latching element with which the seal is fastened on the receiving opening side.

Mit der soeben beschriebenen Ausgestaltung der Aufnahmevorrichtung ist ein zuverlässiges Zurückhalten von Flusen und Verunreinigungen im Bereich des Flusenfilters bzw. des Lagerschildes und der Aufnahmeöffnung gewährleistet. Damit ist eine Beeinträchtigung des Gerätebetriebes durch in den Flusenfilterkanal gelangende Flusen, Haare oder andere Verunreinigungen zuverlässig verhindert.
