DRYER APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240200259 titled 'DRYER APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF
The dryer apparatus described in the patent includes a drum for drying subjects, a dryness sensor to detect humidity, a hot wind supplying device, and a processor for controlling the drying cycle based on user input and humidity levels.
- The dryer apparatus has a drum to hold items for drying.
- It includes a dryness sensor to measure the humidity of the items.
- A hot wind supplying device provides heat to the drum for drying.
- The processor adjusts the drying cycle based on user input and humidity levels.
- It can perform a washing pre-processing cycle if the humidity is below a threshold value.
- The pre-processing cycle may involve rotating the drum, adding moisture, or providing hot wind based on temperature information.

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.
