Definitions
- the present invention relates to a household laundry washing and drying machine.
- today's front-loading laundry washing and drying machines generally comprise: a substantially parallelepiped-shaped outer boxlike casing, typically structured for resting on the floor; a substantially bell-shaped washing tub which is generally suspended in floating manner inside the casing via a number of coil springs and shock-absorbers, with the front opening/mouth directly facing a laundry loading/unloading pass-through opening provided in the front wall of the casing; a substantially cylindrical elastically-deformable bellows which connects in watertight manner the front mouth/opening of the bell-shaped washing tub to the laundry loading/unloading opening on front wall of the casing; and a porthole door which is hinged to the front wall of the casing to rotate to and from a closing position in which the door rests on the front face of the casing to close the laundry loading/unloading on the front wall and substantially watertight seal the washing tub.
- the front-loading laundry washing and drying machines of the above type furthermore comprise: a substantially bell-shaped, cylindrical revolving drum which is structured for housing the laundry to be washed and/or dried, and is housed in axially rotating manner inside the washing tub for rotating about its longitudinal reference axis; an electric motor assembly which is located outside of the washing tub, and is structured for driving into rotation the revolving drum about its longitudinal reference axis inside the washing tub; and a, preferably closed-circuit, air duct assembly which is structured to circulate inside the washing tub a stream of hot air having a low moisture content, and which flows through the revolving drum and over the laundry inside the drum to dry the laundry.
- the air duct assembly is structured for gradually drawing air from the washing tub; cooling down the air arriving from the washing tub so to extract and retain the surplus moisture in the air; heating the dehumidified air to a predetermined temperature, normally higher than the temperature of the air arriving from the washing tub; and feeding the heated, dehumidified air back into the washing tub, where it flows over the laundry stored inside the revolving drum to dry the laundry.
- the cooling down and dehumidification of the air drawn from the washing tub is performed inside cold-air duct, e.g. a cold-water condenser which is attached/ integrated to/on the back of the washing tub, obviously inside the boxlike casing, and which uses the cold tap water of the water mains as refrigerant.
- cold-air duct e.g. a cold-water condenser which is attached/ integrated to/on the back of the washing tub, obviously inside the boxlike casing, and which uses the cold tap water of the water mains as refrigerant.
- the heating up of the dehumidified air coming out of the cold-water condenser is performed inside an air heating device which is rigidly attached to the top of the washing tub so as to have a first end in direct communication with the cold-water condenser and a second end in direct communication with the washing tub close to the front mouth of the latter, and which internally houses the electric centrifugal fan that circulates the air across the washing tub and the resistor that heats up the dehumidified air directed back into the washing tub.
- W02010/100114 discloses an air duct assembly of the type referred above; in particular W02010/100114 discloses a laundry drying machine comprising a drying passage (i.e. an air heating device) including a base and a cover joined to the base. Each edge of the base and the cover is provided with a receiving groove of a certain depth. A sealing strip, made of an elastic material, for sealing the junction of the base and the cover is received within the receiving grooves. A plurality of notches is disposed inside the receiving groove, and a plurality of bosses is correspondingly disposed on the periphery of the sealing strip. During assembly, each boss of the sealing strip is received into a corresponding notch of the groove.
- a drying passage i.e. an air heating device
