Scheme 2: a second temperature detecting device 16 is provided upstream and downstream of the evaporator 6, respectively, to detect the temperatures of the front and rear sides of the condenser 4. And in a certain time, if the control device judges that the difference value of the detected temperature of the upstream temperature detection device and the detected temperature of the downstream temperature detection device is lower than the preset value, and the control device judges that the heating capacity of the condenser 4 is insufficient, the auxiliary heating device 8 is controlled to start working. The scheme has higher detection accuracy.
In the case of the embodiment 3, the second temperature detecting means 16 and the second humidity detecting means are provided downstream of the evaporator 6, and the temperature and the humidity downstream thereof are detected at the same time. And in a certain working time, if the detected humidity value is higher than a preset value or the temperature value is lower than the preset value, the control device judges that the heating capacity of the condenser 4 is insufficient, and then the auxiliary heating device 8 is controlled to start working.
The auxiliary cooling device 7 and the auxiliary heating device 8 can be used as supplements of a heat pump system, and are started to work when the function of the evaporator 6 or the condenser 4 is insufficient; the drying device can also start working with the heat pump system at the same time, is assisted by the start, can greatly accelerate the drying efficiency, and can be used as a quick drying method.
In another scheme, a rapid drying program can be set on the heat pump clothes dryer, under the program, the auxiliary heating device 8 and the heat pump system work simultaneously, and the control method comprises the following steps:
s1, the heat pump clothes dryer starts to work, and a user selects a quick drying mode;
and S2, the control device controls the heat pump system and the auxiliary heating device 8 to start working at the same time, and after a certain time, the quick drying program is completed.
In a further scheme, the auxiliary heating device 8, the auxiliary cooling device 7 and the heat pump system work simultaneously, and the control method comprises the following steps:
s1, the heat pump clothes dryer starts to work, and a user selects a quick drying mode;
and S2, the control device controls the heat pump system, the auxiliary heating device 8 and the auxiliary cooling device 7 to start working at the same time, and after a certain time, the quick drying program is completed.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made herein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
