Bakgrund Torkskap och torktumlare är forekommande exempel pa tork- anordningar som anvands for att snabbt torka tvatt inomhus. I sa kallade 10 kondenstorkskap och kondenstorktumlare uppnas torkningseffekten genom avfuktning. Varm och torr luft fors tan en avfuktarenhet till ett utrynnme med blot tvatt, vilket far vattnet i tvatten att avdunsta. Fuktig luft fors till avfuktar- enheten dar vatten kondenseras och samlas i en behallare eller slapps ut i avloppet om en sadan anslutning finns. Background Drying cabinets and dryers are common examples of drying devices used to quickly dry laundry indoors. In so-called condensate dryers and condenser dryers, the drying effect is achieved by dehumidification. Hot and dry air pushes a dehumidifier unit to a clearing with bare water, which causes the water in the water to evaporate. Moist air is carried to the dehumidifier unit where water is condensed and collected in a container or discharged into the drain if such a connection exists.

JP2005-230324 visar ett avfuktarskap som omfattar ett torkutrymme med ett flertal fasta stod for att uppbara skor som skall torkas samt ett avfuktarutrymme, i vilket en avfuktarapparat, onnfattande en absorptions- avfuktare, är bildad. Pa avfuktarutrymmets vaggar är term iskt isolerande material anordnat. JP2005-230324 discloses a dehumidifier cabinet comprising a drying space with a plurality of fixed stands for supporting shoes to be dried and a dehumidifier space in which a dehumidifier apparatus, including an absorption dehumidifier, is formed. Thermally insulating material is arranged on the cradles in the dehumidifier space.

I I ikhet med andra elektriska hushallsapparater är det viktigt att tork- anordningar är energieffektiva. Det är aven onskvart att de arbetar tyst och att de är enkla och ekonomiska att tillverka och underhalla. Det finns ett behov av forbattra kanda torkanordningar med avseende pa alla dessa aspekter. In conjunction with other household electrical appliances, it is important that drying devices are energy efficient. It is also desirable that they work quietly and that they are simple and economical to manufacture and maintain. There is a need for improved drying devices with respect to all these aspects.

Utforingsfornner frannstalls i de osjalvstandiga patentkraven, i beskrivningen och pa ritningarna. Summary One purpose is to provide a drying device whose construction allows cheaper manufacturing and maintenance saint has improved properties in terms of energy efficiency and noise level. The present invention is defined by the appended independent claims. Embodiments are set forth in the dependent claims, in the description and in the drawings.

Enligt en forsta aspekt, astadkoms en avfuktarenhet for en tork- anordning. Avfuktarenheten omfattar ett holje med ett luftintag for fuktig luft och ett luftutlopp for avfuktad luft och en avfuktarapparat som vasentl igen innesluts av holjet. Holjet omfattar en underdel och en overdel. Underdelen innefattar en bottenplatta, som bildar vertikalstod for avfuktarapparaten. Underdelen omfattar minst en yttervagg och/eller minst en mellanvagg, vilken är bildad i ett stycke med bottenplattan. Med "vasentl igen innesluts" menas att holjet kan innefatta oppningar genom vilka enstaka komponenter av avfuktarapparaten kan sticka ut eller vara exponerade. According to a first aspect, a dehumidifier unit is provided for a drying device. The dehumidifier unit comprises a housing with an air inlet for humid air and an air outlet for dehumidified air and a dehumidifier apparatus which is substantially enclosed again by the housing. The housing comprises a lower part and an upper part. The lower part comprises a bottom plate, which forms a vertical support for the dehumidifier. The lower part comprises at least one outer cradle and / or at least one intermediate cradle, which is formed in one piece with the bottom plate. By "vasentl again enclosed" is meant that the housing may include openings through which individual components of the dehumidifier may protrude or be exposed.

Holjet är till storsta delen bildat av ett expanderat polymermaterial. Med "till stOrsta delen är bildat" avses att hOljet utgOrs av expanderat polymer- material till minst 50 volymprocent, alternativt minst 60 volymprocent, minst 70 volymprocent, minst 80 volymprocent, minst 90 volymprocent eller minst 95 volymprocent. Med "expanderat polymermaterial" avses polymermaterial som blasts upp med hjalp av gas for att ges lagre densitet an utgangsmaterialet. Mangden luft i det expanderade polymermaterialet kan vara minst 60 viktprocent, minst 80 viktprocent, minst 85 viktprocent, minst 90 viktprocent eller minst 95 viktprocent. Resterande är polymerharts. Densiteten hos det expanderade polymermaterialet är saledes vasentligt lagre an hos sjalva polymerhartsen. lcke-begransande exempel pa expanderade polymermaterial omfattar expanderade termoplaster, expanderade hardplaster, expanderade uretaner samt expanderade gummi eller gummiliknande material. Specifika exempel pa material omfattar EPS (expanderad polystyren — aven kant som "frigolit"), EPP (expanderad polypropen) och EPE (expanderad polyeten). The casing is for the most part formed of an expanded polymeric material. "For the most part formed" means that the casing consists of expanded polymer material to at least 50% by volume, or alternatively at least 60% by volume, at least 70% by volume, at least 80% by volume, at least 90% by volume or at least 95% by volume. By "expanded polymeric material" is meant polymeric material which is blown up by means of gas to give lower density to the starting material. The amount of air in the expanded polymeric material may be at least 60% by weight, at least 80% by weight, at least 85% by weight, at least 90% by weight or at least 95% by weight. The remainder is polymeric resin. The density of the expanded polymeric material is thus substantially lower than that of the polymeric resin itself. Non-limiting examples of expanded polymeric materials include expanded thermoplastics, expanded hard plastics, expanded urethanes, and expanded rubber or rubber-like materials. Specific examples of materials include EPS (expanded polystyrene - also edge like "styrofoam"), EPP (expanded polypropylene) and EPE (expanded polyethylene).

Den expanderade polymeren kan ha oppna eller slutna celler. The expanded polymer may have open or closed cells.

Det expanderade polymermaterialet kan vara bildat av ett stycke expanderat material eller som ett flertal mindre materialstycken, vilka smalts eller limmats samman. 2 Med "underdel" avses en struktur som bildar huvudsakligt stod for avfuktarapparatens olika delar och som hailer dessa pa plats relativt varandra. The expanded polymeric material may be formed from a piece of expanded material or as a plurality of smaller pieces of material, which are melted or glued together. By "lower part" is meant a structure which forms mainly the various parts of the dehumidifier and which holds these in place relative to each other.

Underdelen kan vidare innefatta en eller flera yttervaggar. Med 5 "yttervagg" avses en utat exponerad vagg. The lower part may further comprise one or more outer walls. By "outer cradle" is meant an externally exposed cradle.

Underdelen kan ha minst en mellanvagg som är integrerad med bottenplattan. Med "mellanvagg" avses en vagg som helt eller delvis avgransar tva utrymmen inom holjet. Med "integrerad" menas att mellanvaggen är gjord i ett stycke med eller fast forankrad i bottenplattan. The lower part can have at least one intermediate cradle that is integrated with the bottom plate. By "intermediate cradle" is meant a cradle which completely or partially delimits two spaces within the housing. By "integrated" is meant that the intermediate cradle is made in one piece with or firmly anchored in the base plate.

Underdelen kan omfatta minst ett horisontalstod for avfuktarapparaten, vilket är integrerat med underdelen. The lower part may comprise at least one horizontal post of the dehumidifier, which is integrated with the lower part.

Overdelen kan innefatta ett lock som helt eller delvis tacker avfuktarapparaten ovanifran. The upper part may comprise a lid which completely or partially covers the dehumidifier apparatus from above.

Locket kan ha minst en integrerad yttervagg liksom minst en integrerad 15 mellanvagg. The lid can have at least one integrated outer wall as well as at least one integrated intermediate wall.

Av bottenplattan, locket, yttervaggarna och mellanvaggarna kan alla eller nagra vara vasentligen bildade av det expanderbara polymermaterialet. Med "vasentligen är bildad" avses har att yttervaggen är bildad av det expanderade polymermaterialet, med undantag for eventuella inre eller yttre ytskikt av sadan art att de i stort sett inte paverkar yttervaggens hallfasthet. Underdelen kan innefatta ett eller flera forstarkningselement. Med "forstarkningselennent" avses objekt som nnedfor okad styvhet och barkraft. Icke-begransande exempel pa forstarkningselement är nat, plattor och langstrackta objekt. Forstarkningselementen kan vara bildade av till exempel tra, 25 plast eller metall. Of the base plate, lid, outer walls and intermediate walls, all or some may be substantially formed of the expandable polymeric material. By "substantially formed" is meant that the outer wall is formed of the expanded polymeric material, with the exception of any inner or outer surface layers of such a nature that they substantially do not affect the half-strength of the outer wall. The lower part may comprise one or more reinforcing elements. By "reinforcing element" is meant objects that have increased stiffness and bearing strength. Non-limiting examples of reinforcing elements are nails, tiles and elongated objects. The reinforcing elements can be formed of, for example, wood, plastic or metal.

Vidare astadkonns en torkanordning som omfattar ett torkhus och namnda avfuktarenhet lostagbart anordnad i torkhuset. Avfuktarenheten kan vara anordnad utan fastdon. Eventuella fastdon kan verka endast vasentligen parallellt med avfuktarenhetens inskjutningsriktning i torkhuset. Torkhuset innesluter ett torkutrymme for de foremal som skall torkas. Furthermore, a drying device can be provided which comprises a drying housing and said dehumidifying unit releasably arranged in the drying housing. The dehumidifier unit can be arranged without fasteners. Any fasteners can only act substantially parallel to the insertion direction of the dehumidifier unit in the drying housing. The drying housing encloses a drying space for the objects to be dried.

Torkhuset kan ha en mellanvagg som skiljer torkutrym met fran ett avfuktarutrymme i vilket avfuktarenheten är lostagbart anordnad. 3 Torkhuset kan ha en for luft avsedd distributionskanal sonn är vasentligen linjerad med avfuktarenhetens luftutlopp nar denna är inford i torkhuset. Med "vasentligen linjerad" menas att luftutloppet och distributionskanalen är positionerade sa att luft kan stromma -Iran luftutloppet till en oppning i distributionskanalen. The drying housing may have an intermediate wall which separates the drying space from a dehumidifying space in which the dehumidifying unit is removably arranged. The drying housing may have an air distribution channel which is substantially aligned with the air outlet of the dehumidifier unit when it is inserted into the drying housing. By "substantially aligned" is meant that the air outlet and the distribution duct are positioned so that air can flow -Iran the air outlet to an opening in the distribution duct.

I torkutrymmet kan det finnas ett eller flera stod for foremal som skall torkas. Stodet kan vara fast anordnat, sasom en hangare, eller rorligt och drivbart relativt torkutrymmet, sasom en rotationstrumma i en torktumlare. In the drying room, there may be one or more stands for objects to be dried. The support can be fixedly arranged, such as a hanger, or movable and drivable relative to the drying space, such as a rotating drum in a dryer.

Enligt en andra aspekt astadkoms ett forfarande f6r tillverkning av en avfuktarenhet. Tillverkningens steg onnfattar att av expanderat polymer-material bilda ett holje med luftintag for fuktig luft och luftutlopp for avfuktad luft och att montera en avfuktarapparat i hOljet. FOrfarandet omfattar vidare att bilda underdelen med en bottenplatta som bildar vertikalstod f6r avruktarapparaten och att bilda underdelen med minst en yttervagg och/eller mellanvagg som är bildad i ett stycke med bottenplattan. According to a second aspect, a method of manufacturing a dehumidifier unit is provided. The manufacturing step involves forming an expanded polymer material with an air intake for moist air and an air outlet for dehumidified air and mounting a dehumidifier in the housing. The method further comprises forming the lower part with a bottom plate which forms a vertical support for the de-icing apparatus and forming the lower part with at least one outer wall and / or intermediate wall which is formed in one piece with the bottom plate.

The figure shows the space 13 for a collecting container (not shown) and the lower part 102, left cradle 103, rear cradle 104, right cradle 105, rear intermediate cradle 106 and front intermediate cradle 107. A main flat 1004 may be arranged along the rear cradle 104 and in connection with a possible flat topping 108 a further flat 1006 may be present. The main surface 1004 can be mounted next to a condenser 1003 which can be connected to an evaporator 1002, a compressor 1001 and a subcondenser 1007. In the housing a water pump 1005 can also be present.

Fig. 3 är en perspektivvy ovanifran av avfuktarenheten 1 och nagra av dess komponenter. I figuren askadliggors den nedre delen 10 av ett holje, vilken innefattar frontvaggen 102, vanstervaggen 103, bakvaggen 104, Nigervaggen 105 samt den bakre 106 och den framre 107 mellanvaggen. Vidare visas utrymmet 13 for en uppsamlingsbehallare (ej inkluderad) samt flaktoppningarna 108 och 113, varav den senare kan tillhora den ovre delen 11 av holjet. I den ovre delen 11 av holjet finns ett luftinlopp 114, som kan vara fOrsett med ett filter 12, samt ett luftutlopp 112 som är anordnat att linjeras med ryggkanalen 21 nar avfuktarenheten 1 är lostagbart nnonterad i torkskapet 2. Vidare kan en uppsamlartratt 111 finnas i den ovre delen 11 av holjet. Fig. 3 is a perspective view from above of the dehumidifier unit 1 and some of its components. In the figure, the lower part 10 of a casing is damaged, which comprises the front cradle 102, the left cradle 103, the rear cradle 104, the Niger cradle 105 and the rear 106 and the front 107 the intermediate cradle. Furthermore, the space 13 for a collecting container (not included) and the flat openings 108 and 113, of which the latter may belong to the upper part 11 of the housing, are shown. In the upper part 11 of the housing there is an air inlet 114, which may be provided with a filter 12, and an air outlet 112 which is arranged to be aligned with the back channel 21 when the dehumidifier unit 1 is removably mounted in the drying cabinet 2. Furthermore, a collecting funnel 111 can be found in the upper part 11 of the housing.

Torkskapets 2 fun ktion styrs med hjalp av anvandargranssnittet 28 som typiskt, men inte nodvandigtvis, aterfinns pa torksskapets 2 don- 24, och som exempelvis kan utgoras av knappar, vred eller en pekskarm. Via anvandargranssittet 28 styrs, tradlost eller icke-tradlost, en styrenhet hos avfuktarapparaten. Styrenheten kan vara anordnad i torkhuset, i dorren eller i avfuktarenheten. Nar torkskapet är i funktion finns den lostagbara avfuktarenheten 1 anordnad i torkskapet. Den undre 10 och den ovre 11 delen av holjet är ihopmonterade och flagon form av fastdon, till exempel skaror, reglar eller klamrar, som hindrar delarnas relativa rOrelse i atm instone horisontalplanet. Avfuktarenhetens 1 huvudflakt 1004 drar fuktig luft fran torkutrymmet 23 in i avfuktarenheten 1 genom det eventuellt filterfOrsedda luftinloppet 114. Evaporatorn 1002 kondenserar vattnet i den fuktiga luften. Avfuktad varmluft sprids via luftutloppet 112 och den med detta linjerade ryggkanalen 21 in i torkutrymmet 23. Kondensvattnet ansamlas pa holjets botten 101 i ett av den bakre 106 och framre 107 mellanvaggen avgransat utrymme. Vattenpum pen 1005 pumpar kondensvattnet till en lostagbar behallare placerad i utrymnnet 13 for en uppsamlingsbehallare. Till uppsamlingsbehallaren fors via uppsamlartratten 111 aven det vatten som eventuellt ansannlas pa torkhusets 23 avdelarvagg 25 eller direkt pa avfuktarenhetens 1 ovre holje 11 om flagon avdelarvagg ej finns. Eventuell overskottsvarrne kan foras bort fran avfuktarenheten med hjalp av flakten 1006 och subkondensorn 1007 som kan vara seriellt eller parallellt kopplad till kondensorn 1003. The function of the drying cabinet 2 is controlled by means of the user interface 28 which is typically, but not necessarily, found on the device 24 of the drying cabinet 2, and which can for instance consist of buttons, knobs or a touch screen. Via the user spruce seat 28, a control unit of the dehumidifier is controlled, wirelessly or non-wirelessly. The control unit can be arranged in the drying housing, in the door or in the dehumidifier unit. When the drying cabinet is in operation, the removable dehumidifier unit 1 is arranged in the drying cabinet. The lower 10 and the upper 11 part of the housing are assembled and flake form of fasteners, for example notches, bolts or clamps, which prevent the relative movement of the parts in the atm instone horizontal plane.
