Dryer and method for controlling same

Abstract

The present disclosure relates a dryer and amethod for controlling the same. The dryer includes a front case including a first opening surrounded by an air guide that protrudes forward and a pluralityof exhaust holes formed around the first opening; a rear case coupled to the front case and including a second opening surrounded by a housing guide that protrudes backward, the second opening overlapping the first opening; a fan housing that is coupled to the first and second openings, is moveable in forward and backward directions along the air guide and the housing guide, and includes a blastfan therein; and a heater that is formed on the fan housing and heats and ejects wind generated by the blast fan; and the direction of the wind ejected from the heater is changed depending on forwardand backward movement of the fan housing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a drier and a control method for the drier, and more specifically relates to a drier for drying a space in a bathroom or a user's body and a control method for the drier. Background technique [0002] A dryer is a device that is installed on the wall of a bathroom or toilet to dry the space in the bathroom or to dry the wet body after bathing with warm air. [0003] according to figure 1 As shown in the prior art, the dryer 10 in the prior art may include: directional blades 15, which are rotatably arranged at the outlet 13, and are used to send the warm air generated in the blower in multiple directions. [0004] There is a problem that it is not easy to operate in various modes according to the user's needs in the structure of the conventional dryer as described above. For example, prior art dryers are not easy to control air volume and air direction in various modes when drying a bathroom space and when drying a us...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The drying machine structure of the prior art as described above has the problem that it is difficult to operate in various modes according to the user's needs.

For example, prior art dryers are not easy to control the air volume and direction in various modes when drying the bathroom space and when drying the user's body

This can result in skin being damaged by excessive drying when drying the body after a shower, or the bathroom space being dried out less than expected

In addition, the drying machine in the prior art can only dry the bathroom space, but cannot remove bacteria and viruses in the bathroom, so there is a problem that it is necessary to purchase an additional device for removing bacteria and viruses in the bathroom, or directly carry out sterilization treatment

[0005] In addition, according to the prior art, the air blowing direction is adjusted by the multidirectional blades 15a, 15b provided on the discharge port 13, and there is a problem that warm air cannot be sent out at a uniform wind pressure, and noise is generated.

That is, the plurality of directional vanes 15a, 15b provided at the discharge port act as resistance to the wind pressure of the warm air generated by the blower, so not only the blowing wind pressure is affected, but also there is a problem of excessive noise generation.

[0006] In addition, according to figure 2 In the prior art shown, in order to change the air blowing direction, there is a situation in which the discharge port 23 is rotated in the up and down direction in the dryer 20 of the prior art, and in this case, there is a problem that it cannot meet the requirements of keeping the air in the bathroom. A matter of user preference for a static and quiet state
