Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/198058
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Air sucker-blower centrifugal dryer is related to the field of drying machines and is a kind of them. It is used to dry clothes, carpet etc. now in most cloth dryers, a great amount of moisture is first taken from the clothes and then, by blowing hot air, they are completely dried. In presented invention, several wings are fixed to the drum holding clothes, carpets, or any other drying material. Centrifugal rotation of drum is with co- rotation of wings and so the overall result of this is adding a type of high speed air flow into/outside of drum.

Description

Title of invention: Air sucker/blower centrifugal dryer

Technical field: this invention is related to the field of drying machines and is a kind of them.

Cylindrical centrifugal dryer is a kind of dryer machine mostly used in drying carpets and clothes either vertically or horizontally. By rotating the cylinder around its axis by a motor and creating a centrifugal force, the drops of water are isolated from the material and is exhausted out to the surrounding.

Technical problem and purpose of invention

In this cylindrical centrifugal dryer, time spent is reduced to a few minutes, and there is usually no efficiency after that. In fact, the rate of the remained moisture requires the surrounding air or hot air flow or sunlight to dry. In case of drying carpets, especially in carpet cleaning centers with a large number of carpets or in apartments, this is regarded as a limit.

On the other hand, drying clothes in apartments and similar living habitats is insanitary mostly due to presence of favorable conditions for fungus growth. The purpose of designing such invention was to create a simultaneous air flow while centrifuging and ducting air through the drying materials leading to their thorough drying.

Moreover, it provides the opportunity to install a long duct for passing wet air out of the houses and removes the growth of fungus diseases.

Description of prior technical knowledge and current development:

A kind of cylindrical centrifugal dryer named as air turbo is now available in the market which has a vertical structure. By designing a curve on its bottom, it can duct air into the container and dry clothes. Likewise, in most cloth dryers, a great amount of moisture is first taken from the clothes and then, by blowing hot air, they are completely dried. Recommended solution in this invention

In presented invention, in some parts of the drum holding clothes, carpets, or any other drying material, several wings is inserted; which is fixed to some parts of the cylindrical container of the drum. First, the air passing through the electrical heater is driven into the drum. Then, after moving throughout the clothes' fibers and removing the moisture from the other side (the middle part in the horizontal model and the lower part in the vertical model), the water and wet air is sucked out and splashed out to its surrounding by a second wings fixed to the drum.

The overall result of this is adding a type of high speed air flow on the path of "drum outside_ drum inside_ drying materials_ drum outside" which besides the centrifugal force, offers quicker dryness of clothes, carpets, or other materials.

Benefits

This inventions offers the following advantages:

1- No need to use a separate fan for passing air and creating centrifuge. The required air flow is provided by rotating the container just via unique motor.

2- Reduced time spent for drying.

3- Higher efficiency

4- Possibility of drying clothes and materials in a limited space.

5- Opportunity for purposeful conduct of wet air out of the building through using pipes and preventing surrounding moisture. drawings explanation

Integrated and precise description

As shown in figures 1, 6, and 10, the inlet/ outlet centrifugal dryer in shapes of the drum(ll) can work with both radial diagonal wings(10 and 30) and with a drum with the panel fan(50). Of course, it is possible to activate both drums vertically or horizontally. In all of them, along with the rotation of the drum(ll) and the effect of the radial, circumferential diagonal wings(12) and the panel wings(13), air is sucked into the drum, and then, water and wet air are blown out from the end or the middle part. As shown in figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, the horizontal sucker/blower centrifugal dryer(lO) with a peripheral fan of the drum is divided into four parts: the rotating motor(18), the power leverage(19), the drum(17), and the water-air separation system(20). Driven by the lever(19), the rotating motor(18) can move the dryer and create centrifuge force.

Moreover, as shown in figures 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, after rotation of the horizontal dryer(lO), air is sucked from both sides(21) into the drum(17) and the middle pipe(15). The middle pipe(15) is present across the central part of the drum(17). Then, air is inserted from the two sides(21) with the sucking wings(12), and moves along the middle pipe(15). Air is also blown out from the middle pipe(15) and goes into the clothes or drying materials. It goes throughout and then, is sent out into the surrounding environment by the pores of the drum(17). While the fan(13) is rotating, it is outlet by the suction of the longitudinal blades, and pours into the first collecting container(14), then into the second collector(16), and finally, water and air are blown out through water outlet(23) and air outlet(24), respectively. The air outlet(24) is located in the upper part and the water outlet(23) is placed in the bottom of the second shield.

For heating air in the air inlet route into the drum(17), it is possible to install an electrical heating element(26).

As shown in figures 6, Ί, 8, and 9, the vertical sucker/blower centrifugal dryer(30) with the wings surrounding the drum(37) is divided into four parts: the rotating motor(18), the power leverage(19), the drum(37), and the water-air separation system(40). Driven by the lever(19), the rotating motor(18) can move the dryer due to the rotation of the drum(37) and create centrifuge force.

As shown in figures 6, Ί, 8, and 9, after rotation of the drum(37), air is inlet into the drum(37) after passing the protective lace(39) in the upper part in the dryer(41) and hitting the heating element(46), and finally, crosses the middle duct(35). The air middle duct(35) extends all over the drum(37) containing the drying materials. Air is inserted from the upper part and leaves from the middle pore(35) and penetrates into the drying clothes or materials, and by crossing it moves toward the surrounding by the drum pores(37) containing the drying materials. Finally, it is blown out by the suction of the longitudinal wings of the fan(32).

Air and water are thrown into the large collector(34) and then, they are sent into the separating shield 36, and water is let out through the water- specific pore(33) and air is also sent out through the air outlet pore(38).

Figures 10, 11, 12, and 13 explain the performance of the centrifugal dryer with a panel fan(50). This type of systems has four parts: the rotating motor(18), the power leverage(19), the drum(37), and the water-air separation system(60).

After the rotation of the drum(57), air crosses the protective lace(59) in the upper part of the dryer(61), and by hitting the heating element(66), it is sucked into the drum(57), and then, enters the drum to dry the clothes by moving up and down or penetrating into the materials.

After air and water pass through the lower lace(55), they are blown into the large collector(54) and then, led into the separating shield(56). Finally, water is let out through the water- specific pore(53), and air is moved out through the air specific pore(58).

For direct air outlet through the container surrounding the drum, it is possible to install the air outlet either on the upper part (in vertical type) or both sides (in horizontal type).

This method is at least applicable in the centrifugal dryers of the washing machines and carpet dryers.
