CLOTHES DRYER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240271348 titled 'CLOTHES DRYER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
The abstract describes a patent application for a clothes dryer that includes a drum for receiving laundry, a humidity detector to determine the dryness level of the laundry, and a controller that adjusts the drying cycle based on the weight category of the laundry.
- The clothes dryer has a drum for holding laundry and a humidity detector to measure dryness levels.
- The controller uses the dryness level detected during the initial drying cycle to determine the weight category of the laundry.
- Based on the weight category, the controller adjusts the main drying cycle to ensure optimal drying of the laundry.
Potential Applications: - Household appliances - Laundry services - Commercial laundromats
Problems Solved: - Ensures proper drying of laundry based on weight category - Saves energy by adjusting drying cycle accordingly
Benefits: - Improved efficiency in drying clothes - Prevents over-drying or under-drying of laundry - Saves energy and reduces utility costs
Commercial Applications: Title: "Smart Clothes Dryer Technology for Efficient Laundry Drying" This technology can be used in residential and commercial settings to optimize the drying process and improve overall efficiency in laundry operations.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the humidity detector work in determining the dryness level of the laundry? 2. What are the potential cost savings associated with using this smart clothes dryer technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
a clothes dryer may include a drum in which laundry is receivable; a humidity detector to detect a dryness level of the laundry in the drum; and a controller configured to: obtain the dryness level of the laundry in the drum detected by the humidity detector while a first initial drying cycle is performed, determine a weight category of the laundry in the drum from a plurality of weight categories of laundry based on the obtained dryness level, obtain control information based on the determined weight category, and control, according to the obtained control information, a main drying cycle to dry the laundry in the drum after the first initial drying cycle is performed.
