Clothes dryer and cleaning control method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a clothes dryer and a control method thereof. The clothes dryer comprises: a drum, a condenser, an evaporator, a water receiving container, a water storage container, a cleaning device and a controller, and the condenser passes through the air inlet passage and the roller. The air inlet is connected; the inlet end of the evaporator communicates with the return air port of the drum through the return air passage; the water receiving container is used to receive the condensed water; the water storage container is provided with a water quantity detector; the cleaning inlet of the cleaning device and the outlet of the water storage container Connected, the cleaning outlet is adapted to spray water to the evaporator, wherein the cleaning outlet comprises a first cleaning port and a second cleaning port, the cleaning device is provided with a control valve; the controller is connected with the water quantity detector and the cleaning device to be controlled according to the water quantity detector Opening and closing of the first cleaning port and the second cleaning port. The clothes dryer of the embodiment of the invention can detect the amount of condensed water and flush the different parts of the evaporator according to the detection information, thereby improving the flushing effect, cleaning the dander on the evaporator, improving the heat exchange performance and the drying efficiency.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of clothes dryers, and more specifically, to a clothes dryer and a cleaning control method thereof. Background technique [0002] During the drying process of the clothes dryer, the clothes in the drum will generate a lot of dandruff due to rolling friction. These danders will flow forward with the airflow. Rough evaporator. For this reason, some clothes dryers are equipped with a lint cleaning system to flush the lint from the evaporator. [0003] However, when a large amount of dandruff adheres to the evaporator and there is less condensed water, the condensed water flowing out of the cleaning device is not enough to wash down the dander, which leads to incomplete cleaning of these dandruff. Over time, it will gradually expand upwards, resulting in the entire The end face of the evaporator is blocked, so the drying performance is getting worse and worse, and it is prone to safety hazards such as ...
