[0032] To address the problem of low drying efficiency in existing clothes dryers, this invention proposes a clothes dryer control method. (Refer to...) Figure 7 and Figure 8The control method is applied to a clothes dryer comprising a first drying chamber 11, a second drying chamber 12, a first air duct, a second air duct, a first drying component, and a second drying component. The first drying chamber 11 is connected to the first air duct, and the first drying component is located within the first air duct. The second drying chamber 12 is connected to the second air duct, and the second drying component is located within the second air duct. In this clothes dryer, a space divider 2 divides the internal space of the drying drum 1 into two independent drying chambers, namely the first drying chamber 11 and the second drying chamber 12, along the central axis of the drying drum 1. An air outlet component 3 and a return air component 4 are respectively provided at both ends of the drying drum 1 along the central axis, and are respectively connected to both ends of a drying gas circulation component 7. The drying gas circulation component 7 includes a return air duct 74 and an air outlet duct 75. A drying and dehumidification component 71 and a circulating fan 72 are also included. The air outlet assembly 3 includes an air outlet baffle 31 and an air outlet structural member 32, and the return air assembly 4 includes a return air outlet baffle 41 and a return air outlet structural member 42. The air outlet structural member 32 has a first air outlet 34 and a second air outlet 35. The air outlet baffle 31 covers the first air outlet 34 and the second air outlet 35, protecting them while also providing airflow dispersion through evenly distributed holes. The return air outlet baffle 41 covers the first return air outlet 44 and the second return air outlet 45, protecting them as well. The return air outlet baffle 41 and the return air outlet structural member 42 are mounted on a support frame 13, which is located near the dryer door 82. Inside the dryer housing 81 and outside the drying drum 1, a return air duct 74 is provided, connecting the first return air inlet 44 and the second return air inlet 45. The return air duct 74 includes a first return air pipe and a second return air pipe corresponding to the first return air inlet 44 and the second return air inlet 45. The return air duct 74 connects to the drying and dehumidifying assembly 71, which includes a first drying and dehumidifying module and a second drying and dehumidifying module. The first return air pipe connects to the first drying and dehumidifying module, and the second return air pipe connects to the second drying and dehumidifying module. The rear ends of the two drying assemblies along the airflow direction are respectively connected to the first and second outlet air pipes contained in the outlet air duct 75. The circulating fan 72 includes a first fan and a second fan, which are respectively located inside the first and second outlet air pipes. The first return air inlet 44, the first return air pipe, the first outlet air pipe, and the first outlet air inlet 34 together form the first air duct, and the second return air inlet 45, the second return air pipe, the second outlet air pipe, and the second outlet air inlet 35 together form the second air duct. A first drying and dehumidification module and a second drying and dehumidification module. A first fan and the first drying and dehumidification module together form a first drying assembly, and a second fan and the second drying and dehumidification module together form a second drying assembly. Humidity sensors are also installed in the first return air duct and the second return air duct to obtain the humidity value in the corresponding return air duct.
[0033] Reference Figures 1 to 6The control methods for clothes dryers include:
[0034] S110, Obtain the first humidity value in the first air duct and the second humidity value in the second air duct.
[0035] S120: Control the first drying component and / or the second drying component to turn on based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value.
[0036] Sensors are used to acquire humidity values within the first and second air ducts. The first humidity value from the first air duct and the second humidity value from the second air duct are key parameters for controlling the dryer. Based on the acquired humidity values, the first drying component and / or the second drying component are intelligently controlled to turn on and off. If the humidity value in a certain air duct is higher than a preset threshold, the corresponding drying component will be activated to control the drying action of the corresponding drying chamber.
[0037] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 The step of controlling the first drying component and / or the second drying component to turn on based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value includes:
[0038] S12a1: Receives drying mode control instructions, including regular drying and zone drying;
[0039] S12a2 If the drying mode for several garments is either regular drying or zone drying, then control the first drying component and the second drying component to turn on.
[0040] The dryer supports several different drying modes: zone drying mode and regular drying mode. Users can select either "regular drying" or "zone drying" mode according to their needs. Regular drying is suitable for the general drying needs of all kinds of clothing. The system will activate two drying components simultaneously to improve overall drying efficiency. Zone drying is suitable for clothing that needs to be dried separately, such as clothing of different materials or colors. The system determines which chamber needs drying based on the humidity value and may only activate one drying component to avoid cross-contamination or damage to the clothing. If the regular drying mode is selected, the dual-air duct system works, with the first and second drying components activated, the return air humidity sensor activated, and the air circulation inside the drum increased to promote heat and moisture exchange. In this mode, the system will obtain the humidity value changes of the corresponding air duct and automatically adjust the start and stop of the drying components according to the humidity. If the zone drying mode is selected, the first and second drying components work independently without interference. The first drying chamber 11 and the second drying chamber 12 perform clothing drying work separately. The humidity sensor determines whether the preset conditions are met based on the humidity value of each air duct and activates the corresponding drying component. For example, when the humidity level in the first air duct reaches a preset value, the first drying component is activated to dry the clothes in the first drying chamber 11, and vice versa. In the zoned drying mode, the drying component is activated only for clothes that need drying, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Zoned drying can avoid cross-contamination between different types of clothes and overheating damage to clothes made of sensitive materials.
[0041] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 3 The step of controlling the first drying component and / or the second drying component to turn on based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value further includes:
[0042] S12b1: Receives drying mode control instructions, including variable capacity drying;
[0043] S12b2, Several garment modes are variable volume drying, and the target drying chamber is determined based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value;
[0044] S12b3: Control the drying components corresponding to the target drying chamber to turn on, and control the drying components corresponding to the non-target drying chamber to turn off.
[0045] The dryer also supports a variable-capacity drying mode. The system can receive user input commands to select the "variable-capacity drying" mode. Variable-capacity drying aims to dynamically adjust the use of the drying chambers according to the humidity of the clothes, optimizing the drying effect. In the dryer used in this method, the space partition plate placed inside the drying drum 1 can also change the volume of the drying chambers it divides, thereby increasing the ratio of the volume of the clothes being dried to the volume of the chambers used for drying. After receiving the variable-capacity drying mode control command, the system will analyze the humidity value. The system monitors in real time the humidity values flowing back to the first and second return air ducts from the first and second drying chambers 11 and 12, analyzes the drying needs of the first and second drying chambers 11 and 12, and controls the drying components. The variable-capacity drying mode allows the dryer to flexibly adjust the use of the drying chambers according to real-time humidity conditions, improving drying efficiency.
[0046] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 The steps of controlling the drying components corresponding to the target drying chamber to turn on and controlling the drying components corresponding to non-target drying chambers to turn off include:
[0047] S12b31. Calculate the average humidity value based on the first humidity value and the second humidity value;
[0048] S12b3a1. If the first humidity value is greater than the average humidity value, then the first drying chamber 11 is determined as the target drying chamber.
[0049] S12b3b1. If the second humidity value is greater than the average humidity value, then the second drying chamber 12 is determined as the target drying chamber.
[0050] The system acquires humidity values in two return air ducts using humidity sensors: a first humidity value H1 and a second humidity value H2. The system then calculates the average of these two humidity values, Ha.
[0051] Ha=(H1+H2) / 2
[0052] The target drying chamber is determined based on the humidity level. When the humidity level in a duct is higher than or close to the average humidity Ha, it indicates that there are clothes to be dried in that chamber. The drying components in the target duct (the duct connected to the drying chamber containing the clothes to be dried) are activated to focus on processing the clothes with higher humidity. The drying components corresponding to non-target drying chambers are deactivated to avoid unnecessary energy consumption and impact on clothes that do not need drying. This method can dynamically respond to humidity changes in both drying chambers, improving the intelligence level of the dryer.
[0053] Furthermore, the first drying component includes a first fan and a first drying and dehumidification module, and the second drying component includes a second fan and a second drying and dehumidification module. The step of controlling the first drying component and / or the second drying component to turn on includes: controlling the first fan and the first drying and dehumidification module to turn on; and / or, controlling the second fan and the second drying and dehumidification module to turn on.
[0054] As mentioned above, the first drying component includes a first fan and a first drying and dehumidification module, and the second drying component includes a second fan and a second drying and dehumidification module. After the control program inside the dryer acquires and judges the humidity and function, if the first drying chamber 11 needs to perform a drying operation, the first fan and the first drying and dehumidification module are controlled to be turned on. If the second drying chamber 12 needs to perform a drying operation, the second fan and the second drying and dehumidification module are controlled to be turned on.
[0055] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 5 The dryer also includes a dryness detection device, and the method includes:
[0056] S130. Determine whether the first drying chamber 11 and the second drying chamber 12 meet the drying completion conditions.
[0057] S140. If the first drying chamber 11 meets the drying completion conditions, then control the first drying component to shut down.
[0058] S150. If the second drying chamber 12 meets the drying completion conditions, then control the second drying component to shut down.
[0059] The drying detection device is used to monitor the drying status of clothes in the first drying chamber 11 and the second drying chamber 12 in real time. It determines whether the clothes have reached the preset drying completion conditions through sensors or visual recognition. Depending on the design of the dryer's drying program, it acquires relevant parameters through multiple types of sensors or cameras and judges whether the clothes are dry according to the preset program. For example, the system detects the humidity, temperature, or other relevant parameters in the first drying chamber 11 to determine whether the drying completion conditions are met. If the first drying chamber 11 meets the drying completion conditions, the operation of the first drying component is stopped to save energy and reduce unnecessary operating time. Through real-time monitoring and judgment, the dryer can automatically adjust its operating status to ensure that clothes reach the drying requirements in the shortest possible time, while avoiding over-drying, improving user experience, and reducing the need for manual operation.
[0060] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 6 The steps for determining whether the first drying chamber 11 and the second drying chamber 12 meet the drying completion conditions include:
[0061] S131. Obtain the temperature of the clothes being dried, the humidity of the return air in the air duct, and the light reflection state of the clothing fibers.
[0062] S132. Based on the preset drying conditions, comprehensively judge whether the temperature of the clothes to be dried, the humidity of the return air in the air duct, and the light reflection state of the clothes fibers meet the drying completion conditions.
[0063] The surface temperature of the clothes is monitored in real time by a temperature sensor. To better capture the surface temperature, the temperature sensor is placed inside the drying chamber. Surface temperature directly reflects the dryness of the clothes; typically, the temperature gradually increases with drying time. A humidity sensor measures the humidity of the return air in the duct. Humidity data indicates changes in air humidity during the drying process; higher humidity values may mean the clothes are still damp, while lower humidity indicates good drying results. A light sensor detects the degree of light reflection from the clothing surface. Dry clothes typically have high light reflectivity, while damp clothes absorb or scatter light, reflecting their humidity level. The system has a series of drying criteria. When the clothing temperature reaches a preset value, the humidity of the return air in the duct falls below a certain threshold, and the light reflection reaches a certain standard, the system makes a comprehensive judgment based on the acquired temperature, humidity, and light reflection. If all conditions meet the preset drying completion criteria, the clothes in the drying chamber are confirmed to be dry, and the corresponding drying component can be shut off. If any condition is not met, the drying process continues to ensure optimal drying results. By comprehensively judging multiple parameters, the dryness level of clothing can be determined more accurately, reducing the possibility of misjudgment. The method in this embodiment enables the dryer to intelligently identify different types and conditions of clothing, optimizing the drying process.
[0064] Compared with the prior art, the dryer control method of the present invention improves the effective drying power of the dryer by acquiring the humidity value in each air duct in a dryer with two drying chambers, corresponding air ducts and drying components, and controlling the working state of the corresponding drying component according to the humidity value.
