Problems solved by technology

According to calculations, the mainstream electric clothes dryers currently on the market consume an average of 0.66 kilowatt-hours of electricity to dry 1kg of clothes. If one million households use electric clothes dryers, they will consume 300 million kilowatt-hours of electricity a year.
Therefore, the problem of high power consumption caused by traditional electric clothes dryers cannot be ignored

Embodiment 1

[0019] Example 1 see figure 1 The clothes dryer includes a fan 1, a solar heat collector 2 connected to the fan 1, a clothes dryer body 3, a pipeline 4, an exhaust fan 5 arranged at the upper part of one side of the clothes dryer body 3, and a desiccant container 6. The control system 7 installed on the dryer body 3, the humidity detection device 8 installed near the exhaust fan 5 on the dryer body 3, the automatic air valve 9 installed on the top of the dryer body 3, and the circulation pipe Road 10. Wherein, the solar heat collector 2 is connected to the bottom of one side of the clothes dryer body 3 through the pipeline 4, and the side of the clothes dryer body 3 provided with the exhaust fan 5 is opposite to the pipeline 4 and the clothes dryer body 3. On the connected side, the top of the clothes dryer body 3 is connected to one end of the circulation pipeline 10 through the automatic air valve 9, and the other end of the circulation pipeline 10 is connected to the pipel...

Embodiment 2

[0020] Embodiment 2 The clothes dryer includes a fan 1, a solar heat collector 2 connected to the fan 1, a clothes dryer body 3, a pipeline 4, an exhaust fan 5 arranged at the upper part of one side of the clothes dryer body 3, and a desiccant The accommodating part 6, the control system 7 arranged on the clothes dryer body 3, the humidity detection device 8 arranged near the exhaust fan 5 on the clothes dryer body 3, the automatic damper 9 arranged on the top of the clothes dryer body 3 and Circulation line 10. Wherein, the solar heat collector 2 is connected to the bottom of the other side of the clothes dryer body 3 through the pipeline 4, and the top of the clothes dryer body 3 is connected to one end of the circulation pipeline 10 through the automatic damper 9, and the circulation pipeline The other end of 10 is connected to the pipeline 4, and a section of the pipeline 4 between the circulation pipeline 10 and the dryer body 3 is provided with a desiccant container 6, a...

Embodiment 3

[0021]Embodiment 3 A control method for a clothes dryer, specifically as follows: external air enters the solar heat collector 2 from the fan 1, and the air after the temperature has been raised passes through the pipeline 4, and is dehumidified by the desiccant at the desiccant containing part 6 , and then enter the dryer body 3 to dry the clothes, and use the air solar heat collector to heat the air temperature entering the drying room to obtain the hot air needed for drying the clothes. The humidity detection device 8 detects the relative humidity of the air in the dryer body 3, and the control system 7 performs different operations according to the different relative humidity of the air in the dryer body 3: the relative humidity of the air in the dryer body 3 exceeds 90% At this time, the automatic air valve 9 is closed and the exhaust fan 5 is operated through the control system 7, and all the air entering the dryer body 3 is discharged through the exhaust fan 5; the relat...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of textile drying, in particular to a clothes dryer and a control method thereof, and aims to solve the problem of high power consumption of the conventional electric clothes dryer. According to the clothes dryer and the control method thereof, a solar collector is used, a solar energy is used as a heat source, and different air flow directions are controlled by a control system through a pipeline circulation structure of the clothes dryer in case of different relative humidity in a clothes dryer body, so that the effects of high clothes drying speed and low power consumption are achieved. The clothes dryer can be widely used for textile drying.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of textile drying, in particular to a clothes dryer and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Clothes dryers have a high penetration rate in developed countries such as Europe and the United States. According to statistics, about 80% of households in the United States have clothes dryers, and the power consumption of clothes dryers accounts for about 6% of the total electricity consumption of residents. In our country, with the improvement of urban aesthetic requirements and the continuous increase of high-rise buildings, the space for outdoor clothes drying in many buildings is becoming more and more limited; and in areas with long-term humidity, serious air pollution, and windy sand, outdoor clothes drying will cause clothes subject to secondary pollution. People have to choose to dry clothes indoors or on the balcony, while indoors, north-facing balconies or balconies with poor lighting...
