<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect a volume of clothes and a dry state accurately and set an optimum delay time according to the volume of clothes.SOLUTION: When an operation of a dryer is started, a rotary drum starts to rotate (S2), and a resistance is measured with two sets of electrode sensors (S3, 4). First, a first volume of clothes is determined using a matrix table showing a relation of outputs from both sensors and the volume of clothes (S5). Next, a second volume of clothes is determined using a first approximate expression representing a relation between the output of one sensor and the volume of clothes (S6). Further, a third volume of clothes is determined using a second approximate expression representing a relation between the output of another sensor and the volume of clothes (S7). An average value is calculated of the determination values of the volumes of clothes obtained by these three methods (S8), and is defined as the volume of clothes (S9). Then, hot air warms clothes and is blown out from the drum (S10), and a drying operation is started (S11).</p> |
