Description

In order to achieve this object, the dehumidifier according to the present invention includes a main body case having an inlet and an outlet, a dehumidifying section provided in the main body case to dehumidify air, and a dehumidifier that dehumidifies air from the inlet. a ventilation unit that blows the air to the outlet through a part of the dehumidifying unit ; a humidity sensor that detects humidity outside the main body case; and a human sensor that detects people around the main body case. , a control unit that performs a high-humidity clothes drying operation and a low-humidity clothes drying operation by controlling the dehumidifying unit and the ventilation unit according to the humidity detected by the humidity sensor and the detection result of the human sensor; In the high humidity clothes drying operation , if the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is equal to or higher than the high humidity threshold, the air blower and the dehumidifier are operated to maintain a predetermined high humidity threshold; If the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is less than a high humidity threshold, the air blower is operated and the dehumidifier is stopped, and the low humidity clothes drying operation is an operation that operates the air blower and the dehumidifier. Yes, the control unit performs the high-humidity clothes drying operation, and during the high-humidity clothes drying operation, if the human sensor does not detect a person around the main body case for a predetermined period of time, the control unit performs the high-humidity clothes drying operation. This is characterized by switching the clothes drying operation to the low humidity clothes drying operation, thereby achieving the initial objective.

Claims (5)

a main body case having an inlet and an outlet;
a dehumidifying section provided in the main body case and dehumidifying the air;
a blower unit that blows the air sucked in from the suction port to the outlet through a part of the dehumidifying unit ;
a humidity sensor that detects humidity outside the main body case;
a human sensor that detects people around the main body case ;
a control unit that performs a high-humidity clothes drying operation and a low-humidity clothes drying operation by controlling the dehumidifying unit and the ventilation unit according to the humidity detected by the humidity sensor and the detection result of the human sensor; , has
In the high-humidity clothes drying operation , if the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is equal to or higher than the high-humidity threshold, the air blower and the dehumidifier are operated so that the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is maintained at a predetermined high-humidity threshold. If it is less than a high humidity threshold, the blower is operated and the dehumidifier is stopped;
The low humidity clothes drying operation is an operation in which the ventilation section and the dehumidification section are operated,
The control unit performs the high-humidity clothes drying operation, and when the human sensor does not detect a person around the main body case for a predetermined period of time during the high-humidity clothes drying operation, the control unit performs the high-humidity clothes drying operation. A dehumidifier characterized in that the operation is switched to the low humidity clothes drying operation. 1, wherein the control unit switches the low-humidity clothes drying operation to the high-humidity clothes drying operation when the human sensor detects a person around the main body case during the low-humidity clothes drying operation. dehumidifier. comprising a temperature sensor that detects the temperature outside the main body case,
The control unit performs a drying judgment to determine whether the drying of the clothes is completed based on the humidity detected by the humidity sensor and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor,
When it is determined that the drying of the clothes has been completed based on the drying judgment, the operations of the dehumidifying section and the air blowing section are automatically stopped, and after a predetermined period of time after the control section starts the high humidity clothes drying operation, the drying of the clothes is finished according to the drying judgment. 3. The dehumidifier according to item 1 or 2, wherein the dehumidifier performs the low humidity clothes drying operation when it is determined that drying of the clothes has not been completed. During the low-humidity clothes drying operation, which is performed when the control section determines that the drying of the clothes has not been completed by the drying judgment after a predetermined period of time after starting the high-humidity clothes drying operation, the drying of the clothes is performed according to the drying judgment. 4. The dehumidifier according to 3, wherein the dehumidifier automatically stops the operation of the dehumidifying section and the blowing section when it is determined that the dehumidifying section and the blowing section have been completed. The drying determination is performed by the control unit, which sets a predetermined value for drying completion from the humidity detected by the humidity sensor and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor from the first start of the high-humidity clothes drying operation, and performs the process at regular intervals. The drying speed of the clothes is calculated based on the humidity detected by the humidity sensor and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor, the drying speeds are added and accumulated at regular intervals, and the added cumulative value is the predetermined value for the completion of drying. 5. The dehumidifier according to claim 3, wherein the dehumidifier determines that drying of the clothes is completed when the dehumidifier reaches .
