Through the above description, the structure of the present technology can be understood, and according to the corresponding cooperation of this structure, it can have the advantages of more energy saving and increased dehumidification efficiency, and the detailed explanation will be described below.

When the above components are configured, it can be clearly seen from the figure that the method of use of the present invention is: (a) detecting the temperature of the clothes drying area through an infrared temperature detection element on the dehumidification equipment; (b) detecting the infrared temperature The temperature detected by the piece is transmitted to the processing element on the dehumidification equipment, and the processing element divides the drying area into a plurality of individual areas; (c) the processing element calculates an average temperature from the temperature of the individual area; (d) Individual areas where the temperature is below the average temperature are defined as dehumidification areas; (e) dehumidification operations are performed on the dehumidification areas using dehumidification equipment; and (f) when the temperature difference between the temperature of these individual areas and the average temperature decreases, the dehumidification equipment is stopped The dehumidification action.
