Problems solved by technology

At present, the drying time of the heat pump dryer is generally set in advance according to different procedures before the dryer leaves the factory, and cannot be changed, the flexibility is poor, and it cannot be adjusted according to the actual situation of the wet clothes. There is a large deviation between the washing time and the actual drying time required for wet clothes, which reduces the user experience
In the prior art, a small number of heat pump dryers can estimate the drying time before the drying program runs, but the drying time is inaccurate, which affects the user experience

Embodiment 1

[0035] This embodiment provides a method for controlling a clothes dryer, which can reasonably estimate the drying time according to wet clothes and environmental parameters, so as to obtain a better drying effect and improve user experience.

[0036] Specifically, such as figure 1 As shown, after the user selects the drying program, the dryer detects the weight of the wet load and the ambient temperature, and estimates the drying time according to the weight of the wet load and the ambient temperature, and the control panel of the dryer can display the drying time, and Countdown countdown. Optionally, the drying program of the clothes dryer includes a drying stage and a cooling air stage in sequence, the drying stage is mainly used to dry clothes, and the cold air stage is mainly used to cool the clothes dryer after the clothes are dried. Optionally, cold air stages may be provided before and after the drying stage.

[0037] When drying clothes, there are two main factors t...

Embodiment 2

[0045] This embodiment provides a method for controlling a clothes dryer, which is different from Embodiment 1 in that the weight of the wet load and the collection time and means of the ambient temperature are collected.

[0046] Due to the different water absorption properties of clothes made of different materials, the drying time cannot be accurately estimated only by the actual weight of the wet load. For the wet load with the same actual weight, the weight of moisture absorbed in the clothes with good water absorption performance is A, and the weight of moisture absorbed in the clothes with poor water absorption performance is B, then A>B, correspondingly, the clothes with good water absorption performance are due to Clothes with more water content need longer drying time, and clothes with poor water absorption performance need shorter drying time due to less water content. If only the actual weight of the wet load is detected, the estimated drying time will be the same ...

Embodiment 3

[0053] This embodiment provides a control method for a clothes dryer, which differs from Embodiment 2 in that, as image 3 As shown, before starting the drying program, the user can select the drying degree according to the material of the clothes or their own needs. When the drying time is estimated, the controller adjusts the drying time according to the drying degree selected by the user.

[0054] Optionally, the degree of drying can be divided into multiple levels, for example, it can be completely dry or moderately dry. Corresponding to each drying gear, there may be a corresponding data table in the controller, or there may be only one data table stored in the controller. After determining the drying time according to the weight of the wet load and the ambient temperature, the drying time is proportional to the drying gear. Adjust the drying time.

Abstract

The invention discloses a control method of a clothes dryer and the clothes dryer, and relates to the technical field of household appliances. The control method of the clothes dryer comprises the following steps of detecting the weight of a wet load and the environment temperature; and estimating the clothes drying time according to the weight of the wet load and the environment temperature. According to the control method of the clothes dryer, the clothes drying time can be estimated and displayed according to the environment temperature and the weight of the wet load, so that the clothes drying time of the clothes dryer is changed according to the use condition, the flexibility is high, and the corresponding drying effect is good; and the weight of the wet load and the environment temperature are considered in the estimation of the clothes drying time, the water content in the load is considered, the influence of the environment temperature on the drying efficiency is also considered, and the estimation accuracy of the clothes drying time is improved, so that the use experience of a user is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a control method of a clothes dryer and the clothes dryer. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of the quality of life, the domestic clothes dryer market has developed rapidly in recent years. A clothes dryer is a cleaning household appliance that uses electric heating to instantly evaporate and dry the moisture in the washed clothes. A heater is generally used in a clothes dryer to heat air to dry clothes. Due to the disadvantages of high energy consumption, long drying time and poor safety of heaters such as heating wires or heating pipes, heat pump dryers have appeared in the prior art, using heat pump systems to strengthen the recycling of heat and reduce energy consumption . [0003] When the heat pump dryer is turned on, the dryer will display the drying time (or remaining drying time) according to the program selected by the user. At present,...
