Description

Clothes drying ball

Technical Field

The utility model relates to a clothing nursing technical field specifically provides a ball for drying clothes.

Background

Along with the higher living standard of people, people have higher and higher requirements on the drying performance of the drying equipment. Taking a clothes dryer as an example, the current clothes dryer usually adopts a heat pump system, circulating air is changed into dry hot air through the heat pump system and then returns to the inner drum, and clothes in the inner drum are dried through the dry hot air.

However, the current dryers suffer more or less from the problem of long drying times or no drying, mainly because: firstly, the limit of the air duct space can not provide enough moisture removal capacity and drying heat, secondly, the limit of the inner cylinder volume and the inner cylinder structure can not fully stir the fabric, and the mass and heat transfer rate of the fabric and the wet air is limited.

In addition, the current clothes dryers generally adopt a bimetallic strip to judge the drying degree of the clothes, and the bimetallic strip is usually arranged at the front position in the inner drum. The principle of the bimetal strip for judging the drying degree of the clothes is as follows: when the clothes contact the double metal strips, the resistance of the double metal strips changes along with the moisture content of the clothes, and the drying degree of the clothes is indirectly judged through the resistance value. However, since the bimetal strip is fixed at a position close to the front inside the inner drum, when the amount of the laundry is small, the laundry and the bimetal strip cannot effectively contact, which also affects the determination of the end of the drying process, and causes the laundry to be dried insufficiently or excessively.

In addition, there is a method of determining the humidity of the laundry discharged from the drum by a change in the humidity. However, different clothes fabrics are in different states after drying is finished, for example, when clothes made of chemical fiber fabrics are dried (with a water content of 0%), the humidity of a discharged bucket is about 45%, and when clothes made of pure cotton fabrics are dried (with a water content of 0%), the humidity of a discharged bucket is about 35%, and when the clothes made of various fabrics are used in a household, a consumer often dries the clothes made of various fabrics at the same time, so that the drying judgment is inaccurate, and the condition that the clothes are not dried or are over-dried is easily caused.

In the process of drying clothes, the humidity of the clothes is usually used as the basis for judging the end of the drying program. However, the two mainstream methods for detecting the humidity of the clothes at present have some defects: the first is to detect the humidity of the clothes by a bimetal strip arranged in the inner drum, but the bimetal strip is usually arranged at the front position, and the humidity of the clothes cannot be accurately obtained when the clothes are few, thereby influencing the judgment of the end of the drying program; the second method is to detect the humidity of the clothes when the clothes are taken out of the drum, but different clothes fabrics have different states when the drying is finished, but common families can dry clothes of multiple fabrics at the same time, which also causes inaccurate judgment of the finishing of the drying program. Therefore, the utility model discloses set up the humidity that can detect the clothing in the clothing processing section of thick bamboo and can feed back the result that detects to clothing processing apparatus on the ball of drying the clothing to can be when improving dry clothing efficiency, judge the completion opportunity of drying procedure more accurately, dry the clothing better.

The following describes a possible implementation manner of the laundry care machine of the present invention with reference to fig. 1 to 6.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the drum type dryer includes an inner tub, and when drying laundry, a drying ball 1 and the laundry are put into the inner tub, and the drying ball 1 rotates with the inner tub together with the laundry. The space between the clothes can be enlarged through the clothes drying ball 1, and the mutual friction of the clothes is reduced, so that the clothes drying efficiency is improved.

The outer surface of the clothes drying ball 1 is formed with a mounting position, the mounting position is provided with a humidity detection component 2, and the humidity detection component 2 is arranged to detect the humidity of the clothes in the inner cylinder of the clothes dryer and feed back the detected result to the clothes dryer. Therefore, the humidity detection component 2 arranged on the clothes drying ball 1 can be in more full contact with the clothes in the inner drum along with the rolling of the clothes drying ball 1, the obtained humidity of the clothes can reflect the actual condition of the clothes in the inner drum, the humidity of the clothes in the inner drum can be more accurately detected, and the detected result can be fed back to the clothes dryer related to the humidity detection component.

The dryer further includes a control module (not shown) configured to receive a detection result fed back by the humidity detection assembly 2, and determine whether to end the drying process and control the drying process to end according to the detection result. It should be noted that, such a control module may be physically a control chip of the clothes dryer itself, or may be a controller specially used for executing the method of the present application, or may be a functional module or a functional unit of a general controller.

Through the arrangement mode, the clothes drying efficiency is improved, meanwhile, the humidity of the clothes in the inner drum can be accurately detected, and the control module of the clothes dryer can more accurately judge the finishing time of the drying program after receiving the result, so that the clothes can be better dried.

As shown in fig. 4, the humidity detection assembly 2 includes a humidity detection part configured to detect humidity of the laundry in the inner tub, a power supply module configured to supply power to the humidity detection part and the communication module, and a communication module, for example, the power supply module may provide power to a storage battery, a dry battery, a fuel cell, or the like. The communication module is configured to feed back a result detected by the humidity detecting component to the dryer associated therewith, for example, the communication module may be communicatively connected to a control module of the dryer through a communication manner such as a wan, a lan, WiFi, a "WiFi + internet access router", bluetooth, ZIGBEE, NFC, GPRS, or the like. Therefore, the humidity of the clothes can be accurately detected by the humidity detection component, and the detection result can be fed back to the clothes dryer related to the humidity detection component through the communication module.
