Description

Dryer and control method thereof

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of dryers, in particular to a dryer and a control method thereof.

Background

People can choose to carry light clothes with the least quantity on the journey to be convenient for the clothes to be dried quickly after being cleaned. However, in a hotel room, there may be a case where ventilation is not smooth, sunlight is not available, or there is insufficient space for drying clothes, etc., so that the washed clothes cannot be naturally dried in a short time. In addition, if the clothes are in a wet state for a long time, a large number of bacteria are bred, peculiar smell is generated, and the health of people is influenced.

Currently, some hotels provide shared dryers, but most users do not use such shared devices from the perspective of safety and hygiene. In order to solve the problem of clothes drying during business trip, some portable dryers aiming at tourist groups are provided on the market. The portable drying machine on the market is divided according to the design principle and mainly divided into two categories: the first type is a clothes hanger type portable dryer, wherein an electric heating or centrifugal fan is arranged in a clothes hanger shell, an air outlet of the centrifugal fan is opposite to clothes, the fan starts to work when a power supply is switched on, and the clothes are dried by air discharged by the centrifugal fan; the second type is a box-shaped portable dryer, which comprises a clothes drying cavity and an electric appliance cavity from top to bottom in sequence. Clothes are placed in the clothes drying cavity, the box cover is closed, the power supply is turned on, and then the clothes can be dried by means of hot air blown out through the exhaust grids of the electric appliance cavity.

However, when the clothes hanger type portable dryer is used, a power supply needs to be switched on, and a clothes drying rod capable of hanging the clothes hanger is also needed, so that the installation position is strictly required, and if the clothes are too long, hot air is difficult to blow to the lower end part of the clothes, and the clothes are difficult to be completely dried. The box-shaped portable dryer cavity is made of hard materials, occupies a large travel suitcase space and is not easy to clean. Moreover, both the two dryers have certain potential safety hazards. Therefore, the portable dryers available on the market all have their own limitations, resulting in inconvenience in use.
