AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0009] However, since the existing dryers cannot accurately detect that the collected condensate is frozen, there is a problem that the user cannot immediately perform thawing measures, etc.
[0010] Therefore, in the conventional dryer, there is a problem that the drain pump etc. are damaged due to forced operation in a frozen state, or the operation of the dryer remains cut off from the source due to the limitation of the drain pump.
[0011] In addition, the existing dryer still has the problem of not being able to thaw the frozen condensed water by itself
Therefore, even if the user finds that the condensed water is frozen in the existing dryer, it is necessary to pour hot water into the dryer for thawing, or to wait until the condensed water is thawed naturally.

Abstract

There is disclosed a laundry treating apparatus comprising: a cabinet (100) that defines an exterior design; a drum (200) rotatably mounted in the cabinet and configured to accommodate laundry; a drive unit (300) configured to rotate the drum; a hot air supply unit (400) configured to supply high-temperature air to the drum, in communication with the drum; a collection portion (534) provided to collect the water condensed from the drum, in communication with the hot air supply unit; and a drainage pump (430) configured to discharge the water collected in the collection portion outside the cabinet such that the laundry treating apparatus may sense whether the condensate collected in the collection portion (534) is frozen and thaw the frozen condensate and a control method of the laundry treating apparatus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a clothes treating device and a control method thereof. More specifically, it relates to a laundry processing device capable of detecting freezing and self-defrosting when the laundry processing device performing a drying process is frozen, and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Laundry treating devices include washing machines, dryers, laundry care machines, and the like. The laundry care machine is a device for removing dust, bacteria, etc. from laundry worn once (for example, Trom Styler of LGE). [0003] Dryers are classified into exhaust type dryers or circulation type dryers, both of which use heaters to heat air to generate hot air and expose the hot air to clothes, thereby performing drying of clothes. [0004] In the existing drying machine, the hot air passing through the clothes takes away a large amount of moisture while passing through the clothes, so as to dry the clothes. Hot air that has ...
