BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a clothes dryer having a temperature sensor for operation control. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, many clothes dryers of this type determine the dryness of clothes by using a temperature sensor, automatically terminate the drying operation, and notify the end by a notification means such as a buzzer.
Further, in order to prevent the clothes from wrinkling, after the drying operation is completed, the motor circuit is intermittently energized at a rate of, for example, 10 seconds every 2 minutes until the lid of the rotating drum containing the clothes is opened. The fan is configured to operate intermittently. The user can select whether or not to perform the intermittent operation after the completion of the drying operation before the operation. Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, when the clothes dryer is used for the purpose of warming the clothes, after the user finishes heating the clothes,
If the clothes are left in the rotating drum without being taken out, the temperature of the clothes eventually becomes equal to the ambient temperature. The present invention solves such a problem. When the user uses the clothes dryer for the purpose of preventing the clothes from cooling, the drying operation is performed so that the temperature of the clothes falls within the set value range. The purpose is to control even after the end. Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve these problems, the present invention detects the temperature at the outlet of a rotary drum that stores clothes with a temperature sensor continuously after the drying operation is automatically completed. , The heater circuit and the motor circuit are controlled so that the temperature of the outlet of the rotary drum is within a set value range, and the intermittent operation is stopped by opening the lid of the rotary drum. . Operation With this configuration, when the user uses the clothes dryer for the purpose of preventing the clothes from being cooled, the clothes can be kept warm even after the drying operation is completed. Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.
This will be described with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 6 denotes a dryer main body, which is a rotary drum 2 for accommodating clothes therein and rotating and stirring the clothes.
Is rotatably provided. The hot air heated by the heater 1 is introduced into the rotary drum 2 by the fan 3. A temperature sensor 5 for detecting the temperature of the outlet is provided at the outlet of the rotary drum 2. The signals obtained by the temperature sensor 5 are used to control the operation and energization of the motor 4 and the heater 1. The arrows in the figure indicate the flow of wind. FIG. 2 shows the time change of the temperature sensor 5. If the drying operation is completed at time t 1 , the temperature of the temperature sensor 5 normally approaches the ambient temperature T 2 as shown by the broken line. If the user selects a course to keep the clothes warm before driving, the time t 2
Until then, the motor 4 and the heater 1 are intermittently operated, and the temperature of the temperature sensor 5 is controlled to reach the set temperature T 1 .
For example, after completion of the drying operation, the motor 4 is energized at a rate of 10 seconds in 2 minutes, when the temperature of the temperature sensor 5 is lower than the set temperature of 40 ° C., the heater 1 is energized at the same time, and when it is high, the heater 1 is energized. 1 is not energized, only motor 1 is energized.
This intermittent operation ends when the user opens the lid of the rotary drum 2. EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is clear from the description of the above embodiments, in the present invention, when the user wants to keep the clothes warm, the warm clothes can be taken out by selecting the course.
