Abstract
A clothing dryer includes a cabinet, a drying tub positioned at an inner side of the cabinet and configured to accommodate laundry, a plurality of moisture detecting sensor units provided at an inside the drying tub to detect moisture of laundry, and a sensor partition wall provided in between the plurality of moisture detecting sensor units to prevent a foreign substance from being stuck in between the plurality of moisture detecting sensor units. Through the structure as such, the accuracy in detecting dryness of laundry is enhanced, and an optimal controlling of the clothing dryer may be possible.
Claims18
A clothing dryer, comprising:
- a cabinet;
- a drying tub positioned at an inner side of the cabinet and configured to accommodate laundry;
- a plurality of moisture detecting sensor units provided at an inside the drying tub to detect moisture of laundry;
- and
- a sensor partition wall provided in between the plurality of moisture detecting sensor units to prevent a foreign substance from being stuck in between the plurality of moisture detecting sensor units.
A clothing dryer, comprising:
- a cabinet;
- a drying tub disposed at an inner side of the cabinet to accommodate laundry;
- a plurality of moisture detecting sensor units including a plurality of moisture detection sensing parts exposed toward an inside of the drying tub, and a plurality of fixing-bent parts extendedly formed from the plurality of moisture detecting sensor units such that the plurality of moisture detecting sensor units are fixed, to detect dryness of laundry accommodated at an inside the drying tub;
- and
- at least one sensor partition wall configured to divide the plurality of moisture detecting sensor units from each other,
- wherein the at least one sensor partition wall comprises at least one moisture detection sensing part partition wall dividing the plurality of moisture detection sensing parts from each other;
- and
- at least one fixing-hook part partition wall dividing the plurality of fixing-bent parts from each other.
