Tumble dryer

摘要

A tumble dryer (100) is provided having: a laundry drum (102) rotatably supported in a casing (110) and suitable to receive laundry to be dried. A lint filter assembly (1) can be housed in a housing (105) provided in the casing (110) so that, when the lint filter assembly (1) is placed in the housing (105), it intercepts a flow of air exiting the laundry drum (102). A humidity sensor system retrieves information about the actual humidity of the laundry in the drum (102) and has at least a pair of electrodes (20) positioned such that the laundry in the drum (102) can come into contact with the electrodes (20). A control unit (150) controls the operations of the tumble dryer; and an electric circuit (21, 22, 23) transmits a signal obtained from the electrodes (20) to the control unit (150). The electric circuit (21, 22, 23) has at least one electrical connector (22, 23) arranged in such a way to electrically connect the electrodes (20) to the control unit (150) when the filter assembly (1) is correctly positioned in the housing (105) and not to connect the electrodes (20) to the control unit (150) when the filter assembly (1) is not positioned or not correctly positioned in the housing (105).

主权项

1. A tumble dryer comprising:
a laundry drum rotatably supported in a casing and suitable to receive laundry to be dried; a lint filter assembly which can be housed in a housing provided in said casing so that, when the lint filter assembly is placed in said housing, it intercepts a flow of air exiting said laundry drum; a humidity sensor system for retrieving information about the actual humidity of the laundry in the drum, said humidity sensor system comprising at least a pair of electrodes positioned such that the laundry in said drum can come into contact with said electrodes; a control unit for controlling the operations of the tumble drier; an electric circuit for transmitting a signal obtained from said electrodes to the control unit; wherein said electric circuit comprises at least one electrical connector arranged in such a way to electrically connect said electrodes to said control unit when said filter assembly is correctly positioned in said housing and not to connect said electrodes to said control unit when said filter assembly is not positioned or not correctly positioned in said housing.
