Gas burner for a dryer including a gas nozzle for receiving, and injecting gas, a mixing tube for mixing the gas injected from the gas nozzle and primary air, igniter fitted to an outlet of the mixing tube for igniting the gas mixed with the primary air coming out of the outlet of the mixing tube, and a flame holder fitted to the outlet of the mixing tube having flame holes for splitting, and ejecting the gas mixed with the primary air in burning the gas, thereby forming shorter flame lengths, and securing stability of the flame by enhancing an initial igniting capability, and splitting the flame into many parts to increase introduction of secondary air into the flame.

Gas burner for dryer

A gas combustion apparatus of a laundry dryer is provided, by which an initial ignition power is improved to enhance an ignition property. The gas combustion apparatus includes a gas supply; a mixing pipe, having a mixing passage extending from an inlet end to an outlet end, for mixing the supplied gas with primary air, the primary air and gas entering the mixing passage at the inlet end and a gas-and-air mixture exiting the mixing passage at the outlet end; and a flame holder, disposed at the outlet end of the mixing pipe, for separating the gas-and-air mixture exiting the mixing pipe into a complex plurality of jetted streams.

Laundry dryer having gas combustion apparatus

An igniter having an igniter element, a bushing, adhesive and sealant is provided. The igniter element has a polarizing key for generating heat at a high temperature. The bushing is inserted on an outside of one end of the igniter element. The adhesive is placed in a bushing cavity for bonding the bushing with the igniter element. The sealant covers both the bushing and the adhesive placed in the cavity of the bushing thereby joining the bushing and adhesive and improving joining structures of components.

Igniter and dryer therewith

An apparatus for preventing a gap between a blower housing and a connection duct is provided in laundry drier including a base forming a bottom of a body, a front cabinet forming a front side of the body, a pair of opposing lateral cabinet sides, a back cover forming a rear side of the body, a top cover installed on an upper part of the body, a filter cover installed in rear of the front cabinet, a connection duct having an entrance side connected to the filter cover, and a blower installed to be connected to an exit side of the connection duct, which blocks an ancillary air flow to prevent a degradation in drying efficiency and drier performance. The apparatus includes a pressing member provided between the front cabinet and the connection duct to push the connection duct toward the blower to make the connection duct adhere closely to the blower housing.

Laundry drier

An assembly between a front cabinet panel and a front support piece in a laundry drier is stably achieved, to improve work efficiency and productivity in a laundry drier fabrication process. The laundry drier has an internally mounted drum and includes a base forming a bottom of a body, a front cabinet panel forming a front side of the body, a pair of side cabinet panels forming opposing lateral sides of the body, a back cover forming a rear side of the body, a top cover covering an upper part of the body, a control panel installed on a rearward end of the top cover, and a front support piece installed behind the front cabinet panel to support a front side of the drier drum. The laundry drier further includes a first support flange extending from an upper portion of the front cabinet panel and having at least one slot formed in a central portion of the first support flange; and a second support flange extending from an upper portion of the front support piece and having at least one hooking portion formed by partially cutting through a predetermined area of the second support flange, to bend the cut area into a hook that protrudes downward, wherein the hook of the second support flange is coupled with the slot of the front cabinet panel, to thereby pre-assemble the front support piece to the front cabinet panel.
