The present invention relates to a clothes drying machine, or combined clothes washing and drying machine, comprising a drum ( 1) holding the clothes to be dried, a conduit (2, 10) adapted to convey a flow of drying air into said drum and out thereof, a fan ( 5) adapted to blow a first flow of dryin
The present invention relates to a clothes drying machine, or combined clothes washing and drying machine, comprising a drum ( 1) holding the clothes to be dried, a conduit (2, 10) adapted to convey a flow of drying air into said drum and out thereof, a fan ( 5) adapted to blow a first flow of drying air through said said conduit, a heatin element (4) adapted to heat up the air in said conduit at a location upstream of said drum, a motor (7) adapted to selectively drive said drum rotatably. In the machine there is provided a means (9) for producing atomised moisture, said means being adapted to release a flow of said atomised moisture into said conduit according to selected times and modes.

The invention claimed is: 1. Clothes drying machine, or combined clothes washing and drying machine, comprising a drum (1) holding the clothes to be dried, a conduit (2, 10) adapted to convey a flow of drying air into said drum and out thereof, a fan (5) adapted to blow a first flow of drying air t
The invention claimed is: 1. Clothes drying machine, or combined clothes washing and drying machine, comprising a drum (1) holding the clothes to be dried, a conduit (2, 10) adapted to convey a flow of drying air into said drum and out thereof, a fan (5) adapted to blow a first flow of drying air through said conduit, a heating element (4 ) adapted to heat up the air in said conduit at a location upstream of said drum, a motor (7) adapted to selectively drive said drum rotatably, a means (9) for producing atomizing moisture, said means being adapted to release a flow of said atomized moisture into said conduit according to selected times and modes, a condenser (11) through which said flow of drying air is caused to circulate, said moisture atomizing means (9) at least partially using condensation water produced by said condenser, a pan (17) adapted to collect the condensation water produced by said condenser, and a primary reservoir (14) adapted to be supplied via an appropriate conduit (15) with the water coming from said pan and to deliver this water to said moisture atomizing means (9), said conduit (15) being provided with a selectively operable pump (16) located between said pan and said primary reservoir. 2. Machine according to claim 1, characterized in that between said primary reservoir (14) and said means (9) there is arranged a related conduit (13), at an intermediate location of which there is provided an auxiliary reservoir (12). 3. Machine according to claim 2, characterized in that in the section of said conduit (13) that extends between said primary reservoir (14) and said auxiliary reservoir (12) there is provided a controlled value (24). 4. Machine according to claim 2 or 3, characterized in that there is provided a delivery conduit (25) adapted to supply said auxiliary reservoir (12) with liquid, preferably water. 5. Machine according to claim 1, characterized in that it is provided with a selectively controllable operating mode including a first working phase involving at least the following functions: rotation of the drum, production and delivery of atomized moisture, operation of the fan, and possible energization of the heating element (4). 6. Machine according to claim 5, characterized in that it is further provided with a second working phase consisting of a drying procedure performed with the use of known means and operating modes that are inherently provided and already available in the machine. 7. Machine according to claim 6, characterized in that the moisture contained within said drum is measured during at least part of said first working phase and said second working phase. 8. Clothes drying machine, or combined clothes washing and drying machine, comprising a drum (1) holding the clothes to be dried, a conduit (2, 10) adapted to convey a flow of drying air into said drum and out thereof, a fan (5) adapted to blow a first flow of drying air through said conduit, a heating element (4 ) adapted to heat up the air in said conduit at a location upstream of said drum, a motor (7) adapted to selectively drive said drum rotatably, a means (9) for producing atomizing moisture, said means being adapted to release a flow of said atomized moisture into said conduit according to selected times and modes, a condenser (11) through which said flow of drying air is caused to circulate, said moisture atomizing means (9) at least partially using condensation water produced by said condenser, a pan (17) adapted to collect the condensation water produced by said condenser, and a primary reservoir (14) adapted to be supplied via an appropriate conduit (15) with the water coming from said pan and to deliver this water to said moisture atomizing means (9), said means (9) for producing atomized moisture being arranged within said pan (17).
