Clothes Dryer Dryness Detection Using Dehumidifier Air Temperatures

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where a sensor detects the dryness level of clothes during the drying cycle and provides real-time information to the controller. The controller then adjusts the drying parameters based on this feedback, enabling precise control of the dryness level while avoiding energy wastage. This resolves the contradiction by transforming an open-loop predetermined time system into a closed-loop adaptive system.

The drying system performs self-assessment of the clothes dryness level through integrated sensors and automatically adjusts the drying process without user intervention. The system serves itself by monitoring its own performance and making necessary adjustments, eliminating the need for complex user input while achieving precise dryness control.

The sensor continuously monitors the dryness level of clothes during the drying cycle and provides real-time feedback to the controller. When the clothes reach the desired dryness level, the system automatically stops or reduces the drying process, preventing energy wastage on already dry clothes while ensuring all clothes achieve sufficient dryness through continuous monitoring.

Instead of applying excessive drying action to all clothes uniformly, the system applies drying action only until the required dryness level is achieved for each load. The sensor detects when further drying is unnecessary and the system terminates or reduces the drying process, avoiding the harmful effect of energy wastage while maintaining reliable dryness results.

The sensor provides continuous monitoring of the dryness level throughout the drying cycle, allowing the system to extend or adjust the drying time based on actual clothes moisture content rather than using a fixed predetermined time. This ensures that drying continues long enough to achieve sufficient dryness for all clothes while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption by stopping when the target is reached.

The drying time and intensity are made dynamic rather than static, adjusting in real-time based on sensor feedback about the actual dryness level of the clothes. The system can extend drying for heavier loads or reduce time for lighter loads, optimizing the balance between energy consumption and dryness reliability for each specific situation.
