The invention discloses an energy-saving heat pump humidity removing drying room and a control method of the drying room. The drying room comprises a room body, a heat pump assembly, a circulating fan assembly, a humidity removing assembly, a main control unit and a temperature and humidity sensor, wherein the humidity removing assembly comprises a heat exchanger, an air inlet fan and a humidity removing fan, and the air inlet fan and the humidity removing fan are respectively connected with an air regulator. When humidity removal is performed in the drying room, external air is turned into dry cold air through a heat pump host, the dry cold air enters the heat exchanger and is conveyed back into the room body after having non-direct-contact heat exchange with high-temperature and high-humidity air pumped out of the room body, and therefore energy is saved. The actual measured temperature and the actual measured humidity are compared with preset stage values, particularly, the preset stage values are divided into preset values in a shutting down stage and preset values in a starting stage, the starting stage is subdivided into a plurality of segments, firstly, the stage or the segment where the actual measured humidity is located is judged through the current humidity, then, according to the current temperature, the actual measured temperature is compared with the set temperature value in the stage or the segment, the humidity removing assembly is controlled to operate at low speed or to operate at full speed or to shut down, and therefore drying efficiency is improved, and energy consumption is reduced.
