DRYER APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18503895 titled 'DRYER APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
The dryer apparatus described in the patent includes a drum for drying subjects, a dryness sensor to measure humidity, a hot wind supplying device, and a processor for controlling the drying cycle based on user input.
- The processor acquires the humidity value of the subjects to be dried and performs a washing pre-processing cycle if the humidity is below a threshold value.
- If the humidity is above the threshold value, the processor controls the hot wind supplying device to carry out the predetermined drying cycle.
- The washing pre-processing cycle involves rotating the drum, providing moisture, or supplying hot wind based on threshold temperature information.
Potential Applications: - Household dryers - Commercial laundry facilities - Industrial drying processes
Problems Solved: - Efficient drying of various subjects - Customized drying cycles based on humidity levels
Benefits: - Energy savings - Improved drying performance - User-friendly operation
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Dryer Technology for Efficient Drying Processes This technology can be used in various commercial settings such as laundromats, hotels, and manufacturing facilities to enhance drying efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to dryer technology, humidity sensors, and automated drying processes to understand the evolution of this innovation.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in dryer technology, sensor integration, and smart home appliances to enhance the functionality and performance of drying apparatus.
Questions about Dryer Technology: 1. How does the dryness sensor accurately measure the humidity of the subjects to be dried? 2. What are the potential advancements in hot wind supplying devices for improved drying efficiency?
Original Abstract Submitted
The dryer apparatus according to the disclosure includes a drum configured to accommodate subjects to be dried, a dryness sensor configured to sense the humidity of the subjects to be dried, a hot wind supplying device configured to provide hot wind to the drum, and at least one processor configured to, based on a user input for a predetermined drying cycle being acquired, acquire a humidity value of the subjects to be dried through the dryness sensor, based on the humidity value of the subjects to be dried being less than a threshold value, perform a washing pre-processing cycle, and based on the humidity value of the subjects to be dried being greater than or equal to the threshold value, control the hot wind supplying device to perform the predetermined drying cycle, wherein the washing pre-processing cycle includes at least one of a cycle of rotating the drum, a cycle of providing moisture to the drum, or a cycle of providing hot wind to the drum based on threshold temperature information.
