Description

Method for control of a multi-functional drying and storage system {Method for control of a multi-functional drying and storage system}

The present invention relates to a control method for realizing various modes in a multifunctional dry storage system that includes both a dryer and a cabinet, has a dehumidifying module and a humidifying module, and is capable of performing a drying operation with low-temperature dry air.

Contaminants such as dust or odors adhered to the article while the user directly uses the article in a closet, cabinet, or clothes management device, which is a kind of cabinet that stores clothes, blankets, and various daily necessities, etc. Steam is used to remove wrinkles and improve wrinkles.

When steam is directly sprayed on items such as clothes from inside the cabinet, water molecules in the steam absorb contaminants or odorous substances and evaporate together, thereby removing the contaminants or odorous substances and improving wrinkles at the same time.

Here, "steam" is spraying high-temperature water of about 100 degrees Celsius in a gaseous form through a high-pressure nozzle, etc., and when sprayed at room temperature, it appears visually as hazy smoke.

However, when steam is used, there are reports of damage to clothes and the like, which is a problem.

For example, when high-temperature steam or high-temperature/high-pressure steam is directly sprayed on clothing made of a sensitive material, the material may be damaged. For another example, when water molecules generated by steam are sprayed at room temperature and then condensed, they become water droplets. If dehumidification is not effective, water droplets remain on clothing, and if this state lasts for a long time, it is also sensitive material clothing. damage occurs to

In addition, when steam is directly injected into a toy made of plastic or a plastic part of clothing, environmental hormones may be generated. Equipment life is also reduced due to high temperature steam.

Meanwhile, a dryer having a drum has been developed for the purpose of drying laundry, etc., and attempts have been made to use it together with a cabinet.

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0595234, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0672501, and Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0710293 disclose washing machines in which a cabinet is located on the upper side and a dryer is located on the lower side.

However, in the prior art, the drying operation is performed by generating hot air, which is high-temperature dry air, using a heater, and steam is used in a separate refreshing step. is damaged, environmental hormones are produced, and equipment life is reduced.

In addition, since the hot air flows from the upper side of the cabinet to the lower side, a blind area is generated in the cabinet where the hot air does not reach, and the drying effect is not excellent. For example, the shoulder area may not be dry when large clothing such as a coat is hung.

2. The working mode of the multifunctional dry storage system

A multifunctional dry storage system in which the control method according to the present invention is implemented is composed of a dryer 200 and a cabinet 100 operated by one mechanical device, and have different characteristics.

The dryer 200 is a part that naturally dries clothes hung on a hanger or the like using convective low-temperature dry air, so that dust can be removed and deodorized, wrinkles can be prevented, and can also be stored. Moisture air is introduced to enable delicate clothing care.

The cabinet 100 is a part that forcibly dries clothes by introducing low-temperature dry air while rotating a drum accommodating clothes. Although wrinkles may occur, a small amount of clothes can be quickly dried.

Accordingly, by combining the functions of the dryer 200 and the cabinet 100, various operation modes can be implemented.

Specifically, the method for controlling a multifunctional dry storage system according to the present invention may operate by combining any one or more of the following four steps.

<Dryer Drying Step> The dehumidification module operates, and dry air flows into the drum 210

<Cabinet Drying Step> The dehumidifying module operates so that dry air flows into the storage unit 110

<Cabinet humidification step> The humidification module operates so that wet air flows into the storage unit 110

<Cabinet Blowing Step> The upper blower 150 operates so that the air inside the housing 110 is convex (At this time, other blowers may operate more)

Several operating modes combining them are exemplarily described.

2.1 1st Mode - Small Laundry Drying Mode (dryer drying step)

The dryer 200 may be used to dry a small amount of clothing such as small laundry. Since clothes may already be stored in the storage unit 110, the inlet 118 and the outlet 119 are closed and the passage change member 320 communicates between the storage unit inflow passage 322 and the second passage 323. By blocking the, dry air is prevented from entering the storage unit 110.

When the user puts clothes into the drum 210 and activates the "small laundry drying mode" through the display unit 125, the heat exchanger 330 and the blower unit 350 are operated to generate low-temperature dry air.

While the drum 210 is rotated by the power unit 360, low-temperature dry air is introduced, and the air whose humidity is increased by contacting the clothes received is returned to the heat exchanger 330 by the blowing unit 350. flowed into In this process, clothes accommodated in the drum 210 are dried.

2.2 2nd Mode - Big Garment Drying Mode (cabinet drying step)

The cabinet 100 may be used rather than the dryer 200 to dry large-sized clothes such as large clothes or large amounts of laundry. The flow path changing member 320 connects the storage unit inlet flow path 322 and the second flow path 323 to allow dry air to flow into the storage unit 110 .

When the user places clothes in the storage unit 110 and activates the "large clothes drying mode" through the display unit 125, the heat exchanger 330 and the blower unit 350 are operated to generate low-temperature dry air. .

Low-temperature dry air is introduced into the storage unit 110, and the air whose humidity is elevated by contact with the clothes on which the introduced air is placed is introduced into the heat exchanger 330 again by the blowing unit 350. In this process, the clothes mounted on the storage unit 110 are dried.

2,3 3rd mode - Clothing care mode (cabinet drying step and cabinet humidifying step)

In order to dry clothes that can be easily damaged or to manage clothes with a severe odor or contamination, the cabinet 100 is used, but the dehumidification module and the humidification module operate to perform the drying step and the humidifying step alternately. there is.

In the drying step, dust or the like falls or clothes are dried.

In the humidification step, odor particles or contaminants may be included in the wet air and removed. Thereafter, the drying step is performed again, and the clothes moistened with the wet air are dried.

In particular, since high-temperature air such as steam is not used, there is little concern about clothing damage and no environmental hormones are generated.

When the user places clothes in the storage unit 110 and operates the "clothing care mode" through the display unit 125, the heat exchanger 330 and the blower unit 350 are operated to generate low-temperature dry air. Clothes placed in the storage unit 100 are dried according to the same principle as in the "large clothes drying mode".

When the drying step is finished, the humidifying module operates to perform the humidifying step.

The air inside the housing unit 110 is introduced into the humidifying filter 435 by the humidification blower 436, and in this process, wet air is generated, and the generated wet air is introduced into the housing unit 110 again. In this process, foreign substances such as odorous substances contained in clothes or the like may be removed again.

Next, a drying step by the dehumidifying module may be performed again, and the humidifying step and the drying step may be repeatedly performed several times.

2.4 4th mode - fine dust removal mode (cabinet blowing step)

If you want to simply shake off fine dust without drying clothes, etc., you can use the cabinet 100 but use the blower of the storage unit 110 without operating the dehumidifying module or the humidifying module.

When the user places clothes in the storage unit 110 and activates the "fine dust removal mode" through the display unit 125, only the blowing unit inside the storage unit 110 operates. The blowing unit may be the upper blowing unit 150, or may include another blowing unit provided on the side or rear side of the housing 110 as described above.

In the above, the present specification has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily understand and reproduce the present invention, but this is only exemplary, and those skilled in the art can make various modifications and equivalents from the embodiments of the present invention.
