Embodiment 1

[0037] Such as figure 1 As shown, it is the clothes dryer proposed in this embodiment, which includes a clothes dryer 1, and the clothes input port of the clothes dryer 1 is provided with a humidity sensor 2 for detecting the humidity value of the clothes. The humidity of the clothes is detected, and the humidity value is transmitted to the controller.

[0038] A detection device 3 is also provided at the clothes insertion opening of the drying drum 1, and the detection device 3 is arranged on the inner side of the edge of the clothing insertion opening, that is, the detection device 3 is set toward the inside of the drying drum 1, and during the rotation of the drying drum 1 The laundry can come into contact with the detection device 3 . As a preferred implementation, the detection device 3 in this embodiment is a pair of metal electrodes, preferably metal strip electrodes.

[0039] The detection device 3 is connected with the controller, and the detection device 3 is used ...

Embodiment 2

[0043] This embodiment proposes a method for controlling a clothes dryer. After the clothes dryer rotates at an initial speed, the detection device detects the impedance value in its surrounding environment, and the controller obtains the detection value of the detection device at intervals of a predetermined time period within a predetermined time period. the impedance value. The controller compares each impedance value detected within a predetermined time with the impedance threshold stored therein, and judges the amount of clothes in the drying drum according to the number of impedance values ​​exceeding the impedance threshold. Adjust the speed of the dryer drum. As a preferred embodiment, the controller divides the amount of clothes in the drying drum into at least three levels according to the number of impedance values ​​exceeding the impedance threshold, and each level corresponds to a rotational speed.

[0044]As a more specific implementation, in this embodiment, th...

Abstract

The invention discloses a clothes dryer and a control method thereof. The clothes dryer comprises a clothes drying cylinder, a humidity sensor used for detecting a clothes humidity value and a detection device are arranged at a clothes putting opening of the clothes drying cylinder, and the detection device is arranged on the inner side of the edge of the clothes putting opening; the detection device is connected with a controller and used for detecting resistance values of an ambient environment of the detection device every other a preset time period in preset time and transmitting the resistance values to the controller. According to the clothes dryer, the detection device is arranged and used for detecting the resistance values of the ambient environment of the detection device every other the preset time period in the preset time, the controller compares all the resistance values with a resistance threshold value stored in the controller, judges the clothes number in the clothes drying cylinder according to the number of the resistance values exceeding the resistance threshold value and then adjusts the rotation speed of the clothes drying cylinder according to the clothes number, and therefore the problems that in the prior art, in the clothes drying process of a clothes dryer, clothes creasing is prone to occur, and the clothes drying effect is not uniform are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of clothes drying equipment and a control method thereof, and more specifically discloses a clothes dryer and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] During the use of the clothes dryer in the prior art, the following problems are prone to occur: [0003] 1. Drying wrinkles [0004] When there are many clothes to be dried, the clothes after drying often have wrinkle phenomenon. For example, when a clothes dryer with a rated drying capacity of 8kg is put into the clothes of more than 6kg to dry, especially when most of the clothes are made of cotton fiber materials, the wrinkles will be very obvious and difficult to stretch; When it is small, such as a clothes dryer with a rated drying capacity of 8kg, when only about 3kg of clothes are put into the dryer for drying, the clothes are easy to stick to the wall of the drum, resulting in wrinkles. [0005] 2. Uneven drying [0006] The humidity of the c...
