Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless otherwise specified.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic structural diagram of an exemplary dryer to which the technical solution of the embodiment of the present application can be applied. The principle of the dryer drying laundry is as follows.

The laundry to be dried is placed in the drum 110, and the drum 110, the front air duct 120, the air duct 130, and the rear air duct 140 constitute an air circulation system. In the process of drying clothes by the clothes dryer, the circulating gas exchanges heat with the first heat exchanger 150 (the surface of the heat exchanger 150 is at low temperature) to precipitate condensed water, and the condensed water flows into the water storage tank 160 and is discharged by the drainage pump 170; the circulating gas after the condensate water is separated out absorbs heat from the second heat exchanger 180 (the surface of the heat exchanger 180 is high temperature) and is heated; the circulating gas enters the drum 110 again, and the gas flows in the gas circulating system to continuously take away the moisture on the clothes in the drum 110, so that the clothes are dried finally.

In the embodiment of the present application, a first temperature sensor 190 and a second temperature sensor 1100 are disposed in the air duct of the clothes drying circulation system, the surface of the first temperature sensor 190 is wrapped with a moisture absorption material, and the second temperature sensor 1100 is in direct contact with the air.

In practical application, the moisture absorption material wrapped on the surface of the first temperature sensor can be a moisture absorption sponge, cotton cloth and other materials. The humidity of the moisture absorption material is closely related to the humidity of the gas in the air duct, when the humidity of the gas in the air duct is high, the moisture absorption material can absorb the moisture in the gas, and the humidity of the moisture absorption material rises; when the air humidity in the air duct is low, the moisture in the moisture absorption material is evaporated, and the moisture of the moisture absorption material is reduced; when the air humidity in the air duct is extremely low, the moisture in the moisture absorption material can be evaporated.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a clothes dryer according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps.

Step 210: during the operation of the clothes dryer, a first temperature collected by the first temperature sensor and a second temperature collected by the second temperature sensor are monitored.

In the embodiment of the application, the temperatures acquired by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor can be acquired periodically or at non-fixed time intervals.

Step 220: based on the first temperature and the second temperature, a dryness level of the laundry is determined.

The first temperature acquired by the first temperature sensor can reflect the changes of the gas humidity in the air duct and the humidity of the moisture absorption material; in contrast, the second temperature collected by the second temperature sensor reflects changes in the humidity of the gases in the wind tunnel. Because the humidity of the moisture absorption material is closely related to the humidity of the air in the air duct, and the humidity of the air in the air duct is closely related to the drying degree of the clothes, the change of the drying degree of the clothes can be reflected by combining the temperature change of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor, and the drying degree of the clothes is determined.

Step 230: and when the drying degree meets the preset drying condition, controlling the clothes dryer to stop running.

And controlling the dryer to stop working when the clothes are determined to be dried through the temperatures collected by the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor.

The embodiment of the application sets up in the wind channel of the dry clothing circulation system of dryer the parcel have moisture absorbing material first temperature sensor and with the wind channel in with air direct contact's second temperature sensor, through the temperature of the first temperature sensor of analysis and the collection of second temperature sensor, confirm the drying degree of clothing, and then control the dryer operation, promote user experience.

Fig. 3 is a flowchart of a method for implementing step 220 according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 3, the method includes the following steps.

Step 310: and determining the change trend of each of the first temperature and the second temperature along with the time according to the first temperature and the second temperature.

Due to the action of the heat exchanger, the temperature of the air in the air duct rises firstly and then is stable, and the humidity of the air gradually falls. Because the second temperature sensor is directly contacted with the gas in the air duct, the second temperature is stable after rising along with the temperature of the gas in the air duct. Because the surface of the first temperature sensor is wrapped with the moisture absorption material, the humidity of the moisture absorption material also influences the first temperature, and therefore the first temperature rises first, then falls, and then rises stably.

In a specific implementation, the trend of the first temperature and the second temperature over time can be determined by observing the variation of the first temperature and the second temperature in each sampling time interval.

When the first temperature or the second temperature is within a certain time range, the variation in each sampling time interval is greater than zero, which indicates that the first temperature or the second temperature is increasing within the certain time range.

When the first temperature or the second temperature is within a certain time range, the variation of each sampling time interval is less than zero, which indicates that the first temperature or the second temperature rises within the certain time range.

It should be noted that, due to the combined action of the two heat exchangers, there may be small fluctuation in the temperature of the air in the air duct in a steady state, and thus there may also be small fluctuation in the values of the first temperature and the second temperature in a steady state.

Correspondingly, if the relative variation of the first temperature in each sampling time interval in a certain time range is smaller than a fourth preset threshold, it can be determined that the first temperature is continuously stable in the certain time range; and if the relative variation of the second temperature in each sampling time interval in a certain time range is smaller than a fifth preset threshold, determining that the second temperature is continuously stable in the time range.

Step 320: and determining the drying degree of the clothes according to the change trends of the first temperature and the second temperature over time.

And if the first temperature and the second temperature both continuously rise for a first preset time period, and the difference between the change speed of the first temperature in the first preset time period and the change speed of the second temperature in the first preset time period is greater than a first preset threshold value, determining that the clothes are in the first drying degree.

When the humidity of the clothes is high, the humidity of the air in the air duct is high, and the moisture absorption material on the first temperature sensor can absorb moisture in the air. In the process of drying clothes of the clothes dryer, due to the action of the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger on the air in the air duct, the temperature of the air in the air duct continuously rises firstly and then enters a relatively stable state.

Accordingly, the first temperature and the second temperature are both continuously increased to enter a relatively stable state, but the first temperature sensor has a first temperature increasing speed which is obviously lower than the second temperature increasing speed due to the moisture absorbed by the surface moisture absorption material. If the process that the first temperature and the second temperature are both increased but the difference between the change speeds of the first temperature and the second temperature is greater than the first preset threshold value lasts for the first preset time, the clothes are in a state of high water content, namely, a first drying state in the process.

And if the first temperature continuously drops for a second preset time and the second temperature is continuously stable within the second preset time, determining that the clothes are in the second drying degree.

When the humidity of the clothes is low, the humidity of the air in the air duct is also low, the moisture absorbed by the moisture absorption material before is evaporated into the air at the moment, and the evaporation process absorbs heat from the first temperature sensor, so that the first temperature is reduced, but the second temperature is in a stable state. Therefore, if the first temperature is decreased and the second temperature is stabilized for the second preset time, it indicates that the laundry is in a state of low moisture content, that is, the laundry is in the second drying degree.

And if the first temperature and the second temperature are both continuously stable for a third preset time period, and the difference value of the first temperature and the second temperature at the same sampling moment in the third preset time period is smaller than a second preset threshold value, determining that the clothes are in a third drying degree.

When the humidity of the clothes is zero, the humidity of the air in the air duct is extremely low, the moisture in the moisture absorption material is evaporated, the temperature of the moisture absorption material is close to the temperature of the air in the air duct, therefore, the first temperature is close to the second temperature, and the difference value of the first temperature and the second temperature is smaller than a second preset threshold value. If the first temperature and the second temperature are stable and close for a third preset time, it indicates that the laundry is dried, i.e. the laundry is in a third drying degree.

Accordingly, when the laundry is in the third dryness level, the dryer is controlled to stop operating.

In specific implementation, the drying process of a certain clothes dryer can be observed through multiple experiments, and the change trends of the first temperature and the second temperature along with time are determined, so that the sizes of the first preset time, the first preset threshold, the second preset time, the third preset time and the second preset threshold are determined.

Compare in the measuring transducer and the clothing contact surface's resistance and judge the degree of drying of clothing, through the monitoring and the change trend of comparison first temperature and second temperature along with time, reflect the change of gas humidity in the wind channel, and then reflect the humidity change of clothing, can judge more accurately that the clothing is in different degrees of drying.

Fig. 4 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a clothes dryer according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, the method includes the following steps.

Step 410: and controlling the clothes dryer to start according to the user instruction.

Step 420: and after the clothes dryer is started for a fourth preset time, periodically acquiring a first temperature acquired by the first temperature sensor and a second temperature acquired by the second temperature sensor.

In one embodiment, at the initial stage of operation of the clothes dryer, the humidity in the air duct is high, the temperature in the air duct rises slowly, and the clothes can be judged to be in a high humidity state without monitoring the temperature of the temperature sensor in the time, so that the clothes dryer starts to monitor the temperatures of the first temperature sensor and the second temperature sensor after operating for a period of time in order to save system overhead.

Step 430: judging that the first temperature and the second temperature continuously rise for a first preset time, if so, executing step 440; otherwise, go to step 450.

Step 440: judging that the difference between the change speed of the first temperature in the first preset time and the change speed of the second temperature in the first preset time is greater than a first preset threshold, and if so, determining that the clothes are in a first drying degree; otherwise, go to step 450.

Step 450: judging that the first temperature continuously drops for a second preset time and the second temperature is continuously stable within the second preset time, and if so, determining that the clothes are in a second drying degree; otherwise, go to step 460.

Step 460: judging that the first temperature and the second temperature are both continuously stable for a third preset time, if so, executing step 470; otherwise, go to step 420.

Step 470: judging that the difference value of the first temperature and the second temperature at the same sampling moment in a third preset time length is smaller than a second preset threshold value, and if so, determining that the clothes are in a third drying degree; otherwise, go to step 420.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart of a method for implementing step 220 according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, the method includes the following steps.

Step 510: and acquiring the relative difference value of the first temperature and the second temperature at each sampling moment.

Due to the action of the heat exchanger, the temperature of the air in the air duct rises firstly and then is stable, and the humidity of the air gradually falls. Because the second temperature sensor is directly contacted with the gas in the air duct, the second temperature is stable after rising along with the temperature of the gas in the air duct. Because the surface of the first temperature sensor is wrapped with the moisture absorption material, the wetland of the moisture absorption material also influences the first temperature, so that the first temperature is stable after rising, then falling and then rising. Therefore, the relative difference value between the first temperature and the second temperature at each sampling moment can change along with the time, and in one embodiment, the dryness degree of the clothes can be determined through the change trend of the relative difference value along with the time.

Step 520: and determining the drying degree of the clothes according to the change trend of the relative difference value along with the time.

And if the relative difference value continuously rises for a fourth preset time period, determining that the clothes are in a fourth drying degree.

When the humidity of the clothes is low, the humidity of the air in the air duct is also low, the moisture absorbed by the moisture absorption material before is evaporated into the air at the moment, and the evaporation process absorbs heat from the first temperature sensor, so that the first temperature is reduced, but the second temperature is in a stable state. Therefore, if the relative difference between the first temperature and the second temperature continuously increases for a fourth preset time, it indicates that the laundry has a low moisture content, i.e., the laundry is in a fourth dryness level.

And if the relative difference value is continuously smaller than a third preset threshold value for a fifth preset time after the relative difference value continuously rises, determining that the clothes are in a fifth drying degree.

When the humidity of the clothes is zero, the humidity of the air in the air duct is extremely low, the moisture in the moisture absorption material is evaporated, and the temperature of the moisture absorption material is similar to the temperature of the air in the air duct, so that the first temperature is similar to the second temperature, and the relative difference value is smaller than a third preset threshold value. When the relative difference values are all smaller than the third preset threshold value within the fifth preset time period, it is indicated that the laundry is dried, that is, the laundry is in the fifth drying degree.

Accordingly, when the laundry is in the fifth dryness level, the dryer is controlled to stop operating.

In an embodiment, the fourth preset time period is the same as the second preset time period, and the fourth drying degree is the same as the second drying degree. The fifth preset time period is the same as the third preset time period, and the fourth drying degree is the same as the third drying degree.
