In operation of the dryer 100, the condenser heats the air to form a hot air flow having a relatively high temperature, which flows through the inside of the dryer drum 20, thereby drying the laundry in the dryer drum 20. The dried air flow has more water vapor content, flows along the air channel and then flows through the surface of the evaporator, the surface temperature of the evaporator is lower, the water vapor in the air flow contacts the surface of the evaporator with lower temperature to be condensed into water, and the humidity of the air flow is reduced.

The condenser condenses the compressed high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant into a liquid refrigerant, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

The liquid refrigerant flowing out of the condenser enters an expansion valve, and the expansion valve expands the liquid refrigerant in a high-temperature and high-pressure state condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The low-pressure liquid refrigerant flowing out of the expansion valve enters the evaporator, absorbs heat when the liquid refrigerant flows through the evaporator, evaporates into a low-temperature low-pressure refrigerant gas, and the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature low-pressure state returns to the compressor 93.

When the dryer 100 is in the half-load state, the controller 60 sends a signal to drive the first valve 51 to be closed and simultaneously drives the second valve 52 to be opened, so that the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 93 cannot pass through the first flow line 42 to reach the first heat exchanger 91, and can only flow from the second flow line 43 to the refrigerant reservoir, so that the working capacity of the refrigerant is gradually reduced from m1 to m2, and the time of the working capacity-reduced process position of the refrigerant is t, during which the compressor 93 continuously operates, so that the refrigerant is discharged into the second flow line 43 by the compressor 93.

After the operation time of the compressor 93, the closing time of the first valve 51 and the opening time of the second valve 52 are not less than the preset time t, the controller 60 sends a signal to drive the first valve 51 to open and drive the second valve 52 to close, so that the workload of the refrigerant is maintained at m2. Since m2 is the amount of work of the refrigerant with the optimal efficiency in the half load state of the dryer 100, the efficiency of the heat pump system 90 can be maintained at a high level.

When the dryer 100 is in the full load state, the controller 60 sends a signal to drive the first valve 51 to open and the second valve 52 to close, so that the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 93 cannot enter the refrigerant reservoir, and the amount of refrigerant operating in the heat pump system 90 is m1. Since m1 is the refrigerant workload in the higher efficiency state of the operation of the heat pump system 90, the heat pump system 90 can also be operated at higher efficiency at this time.

Compared with the prior art, the heat pump system 90 of the present application has a refrigerant storage tank, and the refrigerant storage tank is used for accommodating redundant refrigerant in the half-load state. When the dryer 100 is in the full load state, the required refrigerant has a working capacity of m1, the controller 60 drives the first valve 51 to open and drives the second valve 52 to open, so that the refrigerant discharged from the compressor 93 enters the first heat exchanger 91 and cannot enter the refrigerant accumulator. When the clothes dryer 100 is in the half-load state, the required workload of the refrigerant is m2, the controller 60 drives the first valve 51 to be closed, and drives the second valve 52 to be opened, so that the refrigerant discharged by the compressor 93 enters the refrigerant storage through the second flow pipeline 43, and the workload of the refrigerant in the heat pump system 90 is reduced from m1 to m2, so that the working efficiency of the clothes dryer 100 in the half-load state is enhanced, and the higher working efficiency of the clothes dryer 100 in the full-load state and the half-load state is realized, so that energy is saved.

The content of the voice prompt information may be preset by the manufacturer of the clothes dryer 100, or may be set by the user through a man-machine interaction device. For example, when the controller 60 obtains that the laundry has satisfied the drying end condition (when the dryer 100 is operated to the stop time), the controller 60 may control the voice prompt device to play a prompt such as "drying complete".

The dryer 100 may further include: and a man-machine interaction means for enabling interaction between a user and the dryer 100. The human-machine interaction device may comprise one or more of physical keys or a touch-sensitive display panel. For example, a user may set a drying program that the dryer 100 needs to operate through the human-computer interaction device.
