Abstract

An operation method for a combination dryer is disclosed. The present invention relates to a combination type laundry device, and more particularly, to an operation method for a combination laundry device provided with a washing machine having a drying function and a cabinet dryer as one body using one drying heater and one fan, in which after identifying an selected operation cycle by a user the washing machine with a drying function and/or the cabinet dryer is/are controlled for performing the selected operation cycle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An operating method for a combination type laundry device comprising: 
 a first step for identifying a operation selected by a user; and    a second step for putting into the identified operation at least one operation object of a washing machine with a drying function and a cabinet dryer together using a drying heater and a fan.    
   
   
       2 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 1 , wherein the operation cycle comprises a washing cycle and a drying cycle.  
   
   
       3 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 2 , wherein in case the operation cycle is a drying cycle, comprising steps of, 
 opening a first hot air inlet pipe and/or a second hot air inlet pipe connecting the drying heater and the fan with the operation object;    supplying hot air through the opened first hot air inlet and/or second hot air inlet pipe by operating the drying heater and driving the fan; and    drying the laundry with the hot air.    
   
   
       4 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 3 , wherein the step of drying the laundry with the hot air comprises a step of re-ventilating air discharged after used to dry the laundry into the first hot air inlet pipe and/or the second hot air inlet pipe.  
   
   
       5 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 4 , further comprising a step of removing moisture by condensing the re-ventilated air.  
   
   
       6 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 3 , wherein the operation object is controlled to be selected by the user.  
   
   
       7 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 3 , wherein in case the operation object is the cabinet dryer, only the first hot air inlet pipe connecting the drying heater and the fan with the cabinet dryer is opened.  
   
   
       8 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 3 , wherein in case the operation object is the washing machine combining a dryer, only the second hot air inlet pipe connecting the drying heater and the fan with the washing machine combining a dryer is opened.  
   
   
       9 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 3 , wherein in case the operation object is the washing machine combining a dryer and the cabinet dryer, the first hot air inlet pipe connecting the drying heater and the fan with the cabinet dryer and the second hot air inlet pipe connecting the drying heater and the fan with the washing machine combining a dryer are opened.  
   
   
       10 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 9 , wherein an opening range of each hot air inlet pipe is as various as necessary.  
   
   
       11 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 2 , wherein in case the operation cycle is a washing cycle, the laundry is washed by controlling the washing machine with a drying function.  
   
   
       12 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 11 , wherein the washing cycle comprises a step of identifying whether a drying cycle of the cabinet dryer is selected or not.  
   
   
       13 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 12 , wherein in case the drying cycle of the cabinet dryer is not selected, the first hot air inlet pipe connecting the drying heater and the fan with the cabinet dryer maintains closed.  
   
   
       14 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 12 , wherein in case the operation of the drying cycle using the cabinet dryer is selected, comprising steps of, 
 opening the first hot air inlet pipe connecting the drying heater and the fan with the cabinet dryer;    supplying hot air through the opened first hot air inlet pipe by operating the drying heater and driving the fan; and    drying the laundry with the hot air.    
   
   
       15 . The operating method for the combination type laundry device of  claim 14 , wherein the step of drying the laundry with the hot air comprises a step of re-ventilating air discharged after used to dry the laundry into the second hot air inlet pipe.  
   
   
       16 . The operating method for the combination laundry device of  claim 15 , further comprising a step removing moisture by condensing the re-ventilated air.
