The memory unit 42 is provided to set and store operating conditions of the dehumidifying unit 10 and the heating unit 20.

The memory unit 42 may store relative humidity and heating temperature corresponding to various textile products, a cooling temperature required for dehumidification, and an operating time at each stage.

The temperature sensor 41 detects the temperature inside the case 1 and transmits the result to the controller 30, and the humidity sensor 44 detects the humidity inside the case 1 and controls the result. 30).

The timer 43 is provided to count the operating times of the dehumidifying unit 10 and the heating unit 20.

Referring to the operation of the house dust mite removal device having the above-described structure as follows.

First, if the case (1) is provided in a foldable form folded and being stored, expand the case (1) is installed so as to mount the fiber product inside.

Next, the circulation flow path 53 of the circulation part 50 is coupled to the air inlet part 51 and the air outlet part 52 provided on one side of the case 1. At this time, the dehumidification unit 10 and the heating unit 20 are mounted in the control case 55 of the circulation unit 50.

Next, the textile product to remove the house dust mite through the opening and closing portion 4 of the case (1) is mounted in the case (1). At this time, the case 1 may be provided with a mounting means (5) for easily mounting the fiber product, such as round bar (5a) or shelf (5b).

Next, after inputting an operating condition corresponding to the textile product through the input unit 45 or selecting an operating condition stored in advance in the memory unit 42, the operation switch 60 is pressed to start operation.

Here, the operating conditions include one or more of the relative humidity or cooling temperature inside the case (1) during dehumidification, the temperature inside the case (1) when heating, and the operating time of the dehumidification unit (10) and the heating unit (20). .

When the operation switch 60 is selected, the controller 30 supplies power to the thermoelectric element 13 of the dehumidification unit 10, and simultaneously operates the blower fan 7 to introduce air into the case 1. Suction through the unit 51 to force the circulation to the circulation passage (53).

The thermoelectric element 13 moves heat from the cool sink 11 to the hot sink 12 to lower the temperature at the cool sink 11 side, and the air inside the case 1 forcedly circulated by the blower fan 7. The temperature is lowered while passing through the cool sink 11 is dried while condensing the moisture contained therein.

At this time, the condensed water condensed in the cool sink 11 is collected and stored in the water collecting unit 16.

Meanwhile, the humidity sensor 44 and the temperature sensor 41 are mounted inside the case 1 to continuously detect the humidity and temperature of the air inside the case 1 and control the detection result thereof. To send.

If the operating condition of the dehumidification unit 10 is set to a relative humidity, the controller 30 operates the dehumidification unit 10 until the relative humidity or the absolute humidity detected by the humidity sensor 44 reaches a predetermined humidity. Let's do it.

Alternatively, when the operating condition of the dehumidification unit 10 is set to a temperature and an operating time, the controller 30 may control the dehumidification unit until the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 41 passes by the set operating time in the set temperature range. 10) can be activated.

On the other hand, when the dehumidification unit 10 is operating, the heating unit 20 maintains the stopped state.

Next, when the dehumidification step satisfies the set operating conditions, the controller 30 stops the dehumidification unit 10 and operates the heating unit 20.

Even while the heating unit 20 is operating, the blowing fan 7 maintains an operating state, thereby continuously forcibly circulating air in the case 1 to the circulation passage 53.

Therefore, the air forcedly circulated by the blowing fan 7 is heated while passing through the heating unit 20 to increase the temperature.

The control unit 30 maintains the operating state for a set operating time at a temperature higher than the set heating temperature of the case 1 sensed by the temperature sensor 41, and when the operating conditions are satisfied, the heating unit 20. Stop).

During the dehumidification and heating process, the controller 30 may display the temperature, humidity, and time counted by the various sensors and the timer 43 through the display unit 47.

Finally, the user may take out the fiber product from the inside of the case 1 and shake off the dead body and secretion of the house dust mite that has been removed.

Therefore, according to the house dust mite removing device having the above-described structure, the house dust mite can be easily eradicated by a simple method of providing outdoor conditions of high temperature and low humidity after placing the fiber product contaminated with the house dust mite inside the sealed case. .

Therefore, it is not necessary to use various insecticides to remove the house dust mite, which can solve the anxiety about human safety such as skin irritation, and the frequent high temperature water washing process is unnecessary, thus eliminating user inconvenience and reducing the washing cost. Can be.

In addition, if the operating conditions are set and input, the entire process of dehumidification and heating can be automatically performed by the control unit, thereby increasing user convenience.

In addition, the case, the dehumidification unit and the heating unit is provided detachably, the case is possible to auto-fold so that the volume of the device can be reduced, it is easy to store and carry.
