Embodiment 1

[0030] This embodiment provides a clothes dryer, which may be a condensation dryer or a heat pump dryer. The clothes dryer includes a controller and a position detection component capable of detecting whether the water storage box is located at a preset position. The clothes dryer may further include a water storage assembly, the water storage assembly includes a water storage tank and the above-mentioned water storage box, and the water storage box is arranged above the water storage tank. The water storage component is used to collect condensed water. The condensed water is first stored in the water storage tank. When the water level in the water storage tank reaches a certain level, the water level switch will act, and the controller will control the drainage pump to pump the water in the water storage tank into the water storage box. When the water in the water storage box is full, it will flow into the water storage tank, and when the water storage tank is also full of wa...

Embodiment 2

[0039]Embodiment 2 provides a clothes drying method, which can be used in the clothes dryer provided in Embodiment 1, but is not limited thereto, and can also be used in other clothes drying devices to ensure that the water storage box is installed In place, avoiding the machine error prompting that the water storage box is full due to the failure of the water storage box to be installed in place, and causing the user to frequently clean the water storage box and the water storage tank. Using this drying method can improve the drying efficiency and improve the efficiency of the user. satisfaction. In the second embodiment, the clothes drying method is applied to the clothes dryer provided in the first embodiment as an example for illustration.

[0040] Such as figure 1 As shown, the drying method provided in this embodiment includes:

[0041] After starting the dryer, detect whether the water storage box is at the preset position;

[0042] If the water storage box is not at...

Embodiment 3

[0055] Such as Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment three, the drying method provided by this embodiment includes:

[0056] After starting the dryer, detect whether the water storage box is at the preset position;

[0057] If the water storage box is not at the preset position, the user is prompted to adjust the position of the water storage box. If the water storage box is at the preset position, start the drying program or continue the drying program that has been started.

[0058] After starting the clothes dryer, it also includes: detecting whether the water level in the water storage box is lower than the second preset water level. Therefore, the user can be informed in advance that the water storage box will be cleaned, which is convenient for the user to choose a suitable time to clean the water storage box.

[0059] Preferably, detecting whether the water level in the water storage box is lower than the second preset water level refers to: before starting the dryi...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a clothes drying method and a clothes dryer. The clothes drying method comprises the steps that after the clothesdryer is started, whether a water storage box is located at a preset position or not is detected; if the water storage box is not located at the preset position, a user is reminded to adjust the position of the water storage box. The clothes drying method has the function of detecting whether the water storage box is installed in place or not, and if the water storage box is not installed in place, the user can receive a corresponding prompt. The user can select to adjust the position of the water storage box according to the prompt so that condensed water can be pumped into the water storagebox from a water storage tank, and the water in the water storage box can enter the water storage tank after overflowing. When the clothes dryer detects that a water storage assembly is full of the water, the water storage box and the water storage tank are both filled with the condensed water. The situation that a machine mistakenly prompts to clean the water storage box is avoided, the situation that the water storage box is frequently cleaned by the user under the condition that the water storage box is not full is avoided, the clothes drying efficiency is ensured, and the satisfaction degree of the user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a clothes drying method and a clothes dryer. Background technique [0002] Both the condensation type clothes dryer and the heat pump type clothes dryer include a water storage tank and a water storage box arranged above the water storage tank. The water storage box is used to collect condensed water, and when the water storage box is full, it will flow into the water storage tank. A water level detection device is arranged in the water storage tank. When the water in the water storage tank is full, the water level detection device sends a signal to the controller, and the controller controls the alarm device to send out a signal, prompting that the water in the water storage tank is full, and the user suspends the drying process according to the prompt, and cleans the water storage box and the water storage tank . [0003] In the prior art, when the user installs...
