Have you ever run into any of these problems when using a dryer: clothes drying too dry, forgetting to stop in the middle of the dryer, getting tangled when you take them out, or even worrying that the machine will break if it runs too long? In fact, all of these problems can be solved by a smart butler in the dryer-sensors. Today we'll talk about how these practical technologies can make a big difference in the drying experience, saving you time, electricity and laundry.

1.Accurate perception

Humidity sensor: when the moisture content of the cotton clothes is from 70% to about 8% , the sensor will recognize the gradual decrease of humidity. When the preset drying degree is reached, will signal the machine to adjust the drying rhythm. This is especially suitable for drying sweaters, silk and other fabrics afraid of excessive drying, to avoid shrinkage or hardening.

Temperature sensor: different materials of clothing temperature resistance is different, temperature sensor can real-time monitoring of hot air temperature, avoid high temperature damage to clothing. For example, when drying wool, it will control the temperature at about 50 °C, to prevent wool fiber shrinkage due to high temperature; drying sportswear, will be raised to 70 °C fast drying. If you have young children in the house, you can also turn on a high-temperature sterilization mode. The sensor will stabilize the temperature at 95 °C, killing mites and bacteria with more ease than hand washing.

2.Intelligent shutdown

The traditional dryer time drying, often appear drying time is too long or too short, and the sensor dryer can according to the actual drying effect automatic shutdown. Sensors combine data on humidity, temperature and energy consumption to determine whether to shut down. For example, when the clothing humidity is less than 3% , the temperature difference between inside and outside is less than 5 °C, and the power consumption is within a reasonable range, the machine will shut down automatically. Actual measurement shows that this time than drying more than 20% of the electricity, a year down to save a lot of electricity.

3.Anti-winding technology

Each time from the dryer to take out the tangled clothes, especially sweaters, scarves, not only difficult to untie, but also easily pulled out of shape. The sensors work with the mechanical system to reduce winding: when the sensors detect an abnormal speed, they can tell that winding may have occurred, and the dryer automatically switches to a low-speed positive-reverse mode. Experiments have shown that more than 90% of mild entanglements can be undone in a few minutes, eliminating the need to pull so hard that necklines grow or buttons snap. High-end models also use air pressure sensors to monitor the stacking of clothes, and when clothes are found to be crowded together, a pulse of hot air is blown out, using the force of the airflow to“Blow” the clothes apart. In particular, drying sweaters, towels, such as easy to absorb together clothes, the effect is particularly obvious, out of the clothes flat and fluffy, save the trouble of ironing.

4.Prolong the life of the machine

The sensors not only protect the clothes, but also protect the dryer itself, reducing breakdowns and maintenance costs. The temperature sensor will monitor the temperature of the motor and heating elements in real time. When the temperature is too high, it will automatically start the cooling fan, and remind you to clean the filter or check the machine. This can prevent the motor from overheating burn-out, extending the life of the machine 3-5 years, equivalent to saving a sum of money for a new machine D. The humidity sensor also monitors the water level of the condensate. If the drain is blocked, it will immediately alarm and stop drying to avoid short circuit caused by water flowing into the circuit. There are children and the elderly at home, it is safer to use, do not have to worry about mid-way leakage or failure.

Conclusion

In fact, the“Smart” dryer is not to show off technology, but to make daily chores easier. When sensors help you precisely control the drying process, you'll discover how much easier it is to dry your clothes-no time to lose, no fear of drying them out, no effort to untangle the knot, and even money to save. That is the true value of technology: to leave complexity to the machines and simplicity to life.
