1 is a flow chart of the drying and sterilization of the clothes dryer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a flow chart of the sterilization of the clothes dryer according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

본 발명에 적용되는 의류건조기는, 드럼 내부의 공기가 증발기를 거치면서 제습이 되고, 응축기를 거치면서 고온 건조 공기로 변화하며, 고온 건조 공기는 송풍팬을 통해 히터로 이동하여, 히터에서 가열된 공기가 드럼으로 유입되어 의류를 건조한다. The clothes dryer applied to the present invention is dehumidified as the air inside the drum passes through the evaporator, changes to high temperature dry air while passing through the condenser, and the high temperature dry air moves to the heater through the blower fan, which is heated in the heater. Air enters the drum to dry the garment.

또한, 상기 의류건조기는, 본체 전면에 살균버튼이 더 설치되어, 소비자가 원할 경우 의류 소독뿐만 아니라 제품의 살균도 실시한다.
In addition, the clothes dryer is further provided with a sterilization button on the front of the main body, if the consumer wants to sterilize the product as well as disinfecting the clothing.

[의류 살균 시][Disinfection of clothing]

본 발명의 의류건조기의 의류건조 및 살균방법은, 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 의류가 제1온도로 건조되기 시작한다.(S1)In the method of drying and sterilizing the clothes of the clothes dryer of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the clothes start to be dried at the first temperature. (S1)

상기 제1온도는 드럼입구온도이며, 약 70도 정도인 것이 적당하다.The first temperature is the drum inlet temperature, which is preferably about 70 degrees.

이때, 출구온도는 40도 정도인데, 상기 출구온도가 50도~60도 정도 되면, 제어부에서 살균기능이 선택되어 있는지 없는지를 판단한다.(S3)At this time, although the outlet temperature is about 40 degrees, when the outlet temperature is about 50 degrees to 60 degrees, the control unit determines whether or not the sterilization function is selected.

의류 살균기능이 선택된 경우, 히터가 가동되어 드럼입구온도를 상기 제1온도보다 높은 온도로 의류를 소독한다.(S5)When the clothes sterilization function is selected, the heater is operated to sterilize the clothes to a temperature higher than the first temperature of the drum inlet (S5).

상기 의류 소독단계는, 히터를 가동하여 드럼입구온도를 상기 제1온도보다 높은 90도 정도로 운전한다. 이때, 소독운전은 출구온도가 75도 이상이 될 때까지 운전하는 것이 바람직하다.In the clothing disinfection step, the heater is operated to drive the drum inlet temperature to about 90 degrees higher than the first temperature. At this time, the disinfection operation is preferably operated until the outlet temperature is 75 degrees or more.

의류 살균기능이 선택되지 않은 경우, 의류 건조를 종료한다.(S7)If the clothing sterilization function is not selected, the drying of the clothing ends (S7).

이러한 살균방법은, 빨래에 포함된 서캐라든가 곰팡이균을 완전히 박멸하여 위생적이라는 이점이 있다.
This sterilization method has the advantage of being hygienic by eradication of fungal germs or fungi contained in the laundry.

[제품 살균][Product Sterilization]

본 발명의 의류건조기의 제품 살균방법은, 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 드럼 내부에 의류가 있는지 없는지 판단한다.In the method for sterilizing a product of the clothes dryer of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, it is determined whether or not there is clothes in the drum.

의류의 존재여부는, 드럼에 센서를 설치하여 감지할 수도 있고, 사람이 직접 육안으로 확인할 수도 있다.The presence of clothing may be detected by installing a sensor on the drum, or a person may check it with the naked eye.

제품 살균기능이 선택되어 있는지 판단한다.(S9)Determine whether the product sterilization function is selected. (S9)

제품 살균기능이 선택된 경우, 드럼 내부를 가열하여 살균한다.(S11)If the product sterilization function is selected, the inside of the drum is sterilized by heating (S11).

상기 제품 살균단계는, 히터를 가동하여 제품 내부의 온도를 상승시켜 일정시간 운전한다. 이때 상승된 온도는 90도인 것이 바람직하다.In the product sterilization step, the heater is operated to increase the temperature inside the product for a predetermined time. At this time, the elevated temperature is preferably 90 degrees.

제품 살균기능이 선택되지 않은 경우, 그대로 대기한다.(S13)If the product sterilization function is not selected, it is kept as it is (S13).

이러한 살균방법은, 제품 내부에 축적된 균이나 서캐 등을 제거하므로, 다른 빨래의 오염을 방지할 수 있다는 이점이 있다.
This sterilization method removes germs, nits, etc. accumulated in the product, and thus has an advantage of preventing contamination of other laundry.

이때 각각의 온도제어는, 드럼입출구에 온도센서를 설치하여, 상기 드럼입출구의 온도를 측정하고, 측정된 온도에 따라 제어부에서 히터의 출력을 제어하는 것이다.At this time, each temperature control is to install a temperature sensor at the drum inlet and outlet, to measure the temperature of the drum inlet and outlet, and to control the output of the heater in the control unit in accordance with the measured temperature.

이러한 온도제어방법은, 통상의 기술을 사용한 것이므로 구체적으로 언급하지는 않는다.
Since such a temperature control method uses a conventional technique, it is not specifically mentioned.

상술한 바와 같이, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 참조하여 설명하였지만, 해당기술분야의 당업자는 하기의 특허청구범위에 기재된 본 발명의 사상 및 영역으로부터 벗어나지 않는 범위 내에서 본 발명을 다양하게 수정 또는 변형하여 실시할 수 있다.It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims .

이상과 같이, 본 발명에 따른 의류건조기의 살균방법은, 특히, 의류 건조 및 살균을 하는 의류건조기에 적합하다.As described above, the sterilization method of the clothes dryer according to the present invention is particularly suitable for clothes dryers for drying and sterilizing clothes.
