WO2018077369A4 - Clothes dryer with rapid evaporation - Google Patents

Abstract

Clothes dryers are one of life's everyday needs, and the invention relates to an innovative, new method consisting in heating laundry with microwaves, reducing pressure and condensing vapour. For this purpose, the invention comprises a laundry-heating compartment equipped with a clothes dryer, and a vapour-condensation compartment disposed above the laundry-heating compartment, the internal space of both compartments occupying a single space separated from the exterior, with the pressure being controlled with a decompression pump. By providing the above-mentioned three drying conditions, the laundry dries in record time using little energy. The drying process takes place as follows: laundry that has been dried by means of centrifugation is spread out in the microwave-based heating compartment; the temperature programme is selected and the device is switched on; the device begins to heat the laundry to a specific temperature, and subsequently reduces the pressure to the desired level, such that the water evaporates from the laundry, rising up into the upper vapour-condensation compartment; the process continues until the moisture sensor registers that there is no more moisture; the device switches off automatically and the laundry is dried in a record time of between 5 and 10 minutes.

2- Raccordée à l'invention, tel que montré à la figure 1 du tableau 4 de 4, la barrière métallique de sèche-linge à vaporisation rapide est une grille métallique fixe et non-rotative de l'acier inoxydable, recouvert par une matière anti-micro-ondes. Plate, elle comporte de petits trous dont la taille est moins de celle des micro-ondes, tel que montré à la figure 1 du tableau 4 de 4. De ce fait, elle ne permet pas à ces micro-ondes d'y accéder, mais à la vapeur d'eau, vu que ses molécules sont très petites. Sur la grille métallique de la barrière se trouvent des plaques en plastiques juxtaposés l'une à l'autre à un angle de 45 °, formant ainsi le signe « V », tel que montré au n°. 3 de la figure 1 du tableau 4 de 4, ce qui sert à la canalisation de l'eau vaporisée montant à l'échangeur de chaleur. Ce design prévient le retour des goûtes d'eau condensées au linge. Au dessous de ces plaques en plastiques, on trouve des canaux représentés sous le n°. 4 de la figure 1 du tableau 4 de 4. Cette technique sert également à la collecte des gouttes d'eau et leur décharge au bac n°. 18 de la figure 1 du tableau 1 de 1, contrairement aux sèche-linges conventionnels qui ne comportent pas une grille métallique d'évacuation et l'élimination d'humidité. La barrière métallique est inclinée à un angle de 10 °, ce qui permet la circulation rapide et décharge des eaux l'évacuation qui tombent sur les plaques en plastique. La barrière métallique de la présente invention est fixe et donc, elle ne racle pas le linge à sécher et ne cause pas son usure et peluche, mais sert à l'élimination de sa fragilité, contrairement aux sèche-linges conventionnels. À défaut de frottement du linge avec de la surface intérieur de sécheur lors de séchage, la matière antimicro-ondes est préservée, contrairement aux sèche-linges conventionnels qui provoque la rotation et frottement du linge à l'intérieur du tambour de séchage d'où la corrosion de ladite matière anti-micro-ondes et étincelle électrique éventuelle, engendrant la combustion du séchoir. 2- Connected to the invention, as shown in Figure 1 of Table 4 of 4, the metal barrier of rapid drying dryer is a fixed and non-rotating metal grid of stainless steel, covered by a material anti-microwave. Plate, it has small holes whose size is less than that of microwaves, as shown in Figure 1 of Table 4 of 4. As a result, it does not allow these microwaves to access, but with water vapor, since its molecules are very small. On the metal gate of the barrier are plastic plates juxtaposed to each other at an angle of 45 °, thus forming the sign "V", as shown in no. 3 of Figure 1 of Table 4 of 4, which serves to channel the vaporized water rising to the heat exchanger. This design prevents the return of condensed water to the laundry. Below these plastic plates are channels shown under no. 4 of Figure 1 of Table 4 of 4. This technique is also used for the collection of drops of water and their discharge in the tank n °. 18 of Figure 1 of Table 1 of 1, unlike conventional tumble dryers that do not include a metal drain grille and moisture removal. The metal barrier is tilted at an angle of 10 °, which allows the rapid flow and discharge of water evacuation that fall on the plastic plates. The metal barrier of the present invention is fixed and therefore, it does not scrape the laundry to dry and does not cause wear and lint, but serves to eliminate its fragility, unlike conventional tumble dryers. In the absence of friction of the laundry with the interior dryer surface during drying, the antimicrobial material is preserved, unlike conventional tumble dryers which causes rotation and friction of the laundry inside the drying drum from where corrosion of said microwave material and possible electrical spark, generating combustion of the dryer.
