Clothes dryer with a drying judgment device and a drying judgment method thereof
By installing a flow guide and sensor inside the water collection box of the dryer, the degree of drying of clothes is determined by the change in the impact force of the condensate water, which solves the problem of misjudgment in the existing technology and improves accuracy and stability.

AI Technical Summary
⚠Technical Problem
Existing dryers' humidity sensors and metal dryness indicators are prone to misjudging the degree of dryness of clothes, resulting in a reduced user experience and higher costs.
⚗Method used
A flow guide is installed inside the water collection box of the dryer. The flow direction of the condensate is changed by the change in the impact force of the condensate. Sensors are used to determine whether the clothes are dry. The combination of the flow guide and sensor design improves the accuracy of the judgment.
🎯Benefits of technology
It enables accurate judgment of the degree of drying of clothes, reduces production costs, and improves the user experience and stability of the drying device.

Abstract
The application discloses a clothes dryer with a drying judgment device and a drying judgment method thereof. The drying judgment device comprises a water collecting part for collecting condensed water and guiding the condensed water into a water collecting box, a flow guide arranged below the water collecting part to receive the condensed water and change the flow direction of the condensed water according to the impact force change of the condensed water, wherein the flow guide comprises a water guiding part hinged with a fixed part in the water collecting box to form a lever structure, and a receiving part arranged at one end of the water guiding part close to the water collecting part. In the initial state, the receiving part is close to the bottom of the water collecting part, and the condensed water first enters the receiving part through the water collecting part. When the gravity of the condensed water in the receiving part and the impact force of the condensed water on the receiving part are insufficient to drive the water guiding part to rotate, the condensed water flows along the water guiding part and contacts the salt strip. The condensed water after dissolving salt triggers the sensor, the sensor sends a signal to the control unit, and the control unit judges the drying of clothes when the interval time between two adjacent signals is greater than the preset time threshold, thereby realizing the accurate judgment of the drying state of clothes.
