DRYER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18183600 titled 'DRYER AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a dryer that includes a cabinet, a drum, at least one roller, a motor, a motor driver, and at least one processor. The processor determines the rotation velocity or rotation time of the motor based on the non-use time of the dryer and controls the motor driver accordingly.
- The dryer has a drum that can rotate inside a cabinet.
- There are rollers mounted inside the cabinet to support the drum.
- A motor provides power to rotate the drum.
- A motor driver controls the motor.
- At least one processor determines the rotation velocity or rotation time of the motor based on the non-use time of the dryer.
- The motor driver is controlled by the processor based on the determined rotation velocity or rotation time.
Potential Applications
- This technology can be applied in household dryers to improve energy efficiency and reduce wear and tear on the motor.
- It can also be used in commercial dryers to optimize drying cycles and reduce energy consumption.
Problems Solved
- The technology solves the problem of unnecessary motor usage in dryers during periods of non-use.
- It addresses the issue of energy wastage and potential motor damage caused by continuous rotation during idle times.
Benefits
- The technology helps conserve energy by adjusting the motor rotation based on the non-use time of the dryer.
- It prolongs the lifespan of the motor by reducing unnecessary wear and tear.
- Users can save on electricity bills due to the improved energy efficiency of the dryer.
Original Abstract Submitted
A dryer is provided. The dryer includes a cabinet, a drum rotatably disposed inside the cabinet, at least one roller mounted on at least one surface inside of the cabinet to support the drum, a motor configured to provide power to rotate the drum, a motor driver configured to control the motor, and at least one processor configured to determine at least one of a first rotation velocity of the motor or a first rotation time of the motor based on a non-use time of the dryer, and control the motor driver based on the determined at least one of the first rotation velocity or the first rotation time of the motor.
