Drying apparatus and washing machine having the same and control method thereof

Abstract

A drying apparatus and a washing machine having the same and a control method thereof. The drying apparatus is provided with a total care function with respect to a substance such as bedding, the control method thereof may include a sterilization course, a deodorization course, a pest elimination course, a dust elimination course, and a refreshing course, and may be capable of performing each total care function in an independent manner. By changing a rotation speed of the drum according to the type and the weight of the bedding, the damage of the substance at each of the total care courses is reduced while obtaining optimal effects. By providing a standard course having all the total care functions, the manipulation efficiency is enhanced for a user who is not familiar with the manipulation of the courses and also for a user who is not in favor of the individual manipulation of the courses.

Description

Technical field [0001] The following description relates to a drying device, a washing machine having the drying device, and a method of controlling the drying device, and more specifically, to a drying device that provides care functions for bedding, and having the drying device Washing machine and method of controlling the drying device. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, a drying device is configured as a device in which while a drum containing clothes (hereinafter referred to as articles) to be dried rotates, the inside of the drum is heated by a hot air heater. High-temperature air (hot air) to dry items. Recently, a washing machine having the function of such a drying device (generally referred to as a drum washing machine) has been introduced, and the washing machine is configured to perform a drying cycle independently or in combination with the washing cycle. [0003] The drying cycle uses high-temperature hot air to dry the items, thus effectively killing...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, in the case of ticks, bedbugs that mainly inhabit bedding such as futons and pillows, ticks inhabit not only the surface of the bedding but also the cotton filling or sponge filling inside the bedding bedding, so traditional drying cycles are not effective at killing ticks that inhabit the interior of bedding

[0004] Furthermore, the drying cycle does not provide a care function on bedding to eliminate unpleasant odor particles or dust attached to items such as bedding and to fluff up parts of the bedding that are compressed for storage purposes (refresh)
