Patent attributes
The heat pump system and the electrical heating system of a clothes dryer are controlled to work cooperatively, thus allowing the clothes dryer to at least comprise a fast mode in which the electrical heating pipe of the heating system is turned on after the compressor of the heat pump system is turned on and operated stably. Air about to enter the clothes drying drum is controlled to be firstly heated by the condenser of the heat pump system and further heated by the electrical heating pipe, and then to enter the clothes drying drum, and the load of the heat pump system is reduced in an auxiliary condensing manner, when the load of the heat pump system is close to the maximum load. Therefore, simultaneous working of the electrical heating system and the heat pump system is ensured, and the clothes drying speed is improved.
