Retrofit Moisture and Humidity Sensor and Automatic Shutoff Device for Clothes Dryers

This invention is applicable to new and old clothes dryers, even clothes dryers that have a moisture sensor built-in because this invention measures the humidity. The invention, Retrofit Moisture and Humidity Sensor and Automatic Shutoff device for Clothes Dryers, relates to an apparatus and methods for reducing energy consumption for gas and electric domestic or industrial clothes dryers by placing or retrofitting a moisture/humidity sensing apparatus inside or unto the drum of a clothes dryer. The Sensor is able to remotely/wirelessly communicate to a Receiver device. The clothes dryer is directly plugged into the Receiver. The Receiver device serves the purpose of shutting the power to the clothes dryer when the items in the clothes dryer are dry as indicated by the Sensor. The moisture/humidity detecting sensor has various levels of dryness to choose from. Although moisture detecting dryers are readily available, these types of dryers are not in the price range of most consumers. The advantage of this inexpensive power saving concept is that it does not require any mechanical alterations to the clothes dryer (unless being installed on a gas operated clothes dryer). It can be installed on older clothes dryers or newer dryers. Second, the Sensor can detect the humidity which is a far more accurate way of determining when the items are dry. In brief, the small moisture/humidity detecting sensor apparatus is placed inside the drum of the clothes dryer. The clothes dryer is directly plugged into a Receiver which is plugged into the 120V or 240V electrical outlet. When the Moisture/Humidity Sensor apparatus detects that the items are dry it wirelessly communicates to the Receiver which cuts the power to the clothes dryer. The Receiver can be overridden from on/off.

Retrofit moisture and humidity sensor and automatic shutoff device for clothes dryers

The present invention provides a retrofit device to automatically shut off a clothes dryer to prevent over drying. The device includes a humidity sensor apparatus for placement inside a clothes dryer. The Sensor communicates with a Receiver device connected to an electrical wall outlet and to the electrical plug of the clothes dryer. The Receiver turns off the power to the clothes dryer when the humidity level in the clothes dryer drops to a predetermined level, as detected by the Sensor.

Remote monitoring system and method of controlling the same

본 발명은 원격지에 설치된 세탁기 및 건조기 등과 같은 제품의 홈코드를 세팅하는데 있어서 홈코드 세팅상태를 가전기기로부터 피드백 받아 확인할 수 있도록 한 모니터링 시스템 및 그 제어방법에 관한 것이다.  The present invention relates to a monitoring system and a control method for allowing a home code setting state to be received and confirmed from a home appliance in setting a home code of a product such as a washing machine and a dryer installed at a remote location. 즉, 본 발명은 모니터링 모듈에서 홈코드 세팅 명령을 해당 가전기기로 전송하면, 이를 전송받은 가전기기는 해당 홈코드를 세팅한 후 상기 모니터링 모듈로 세팅이 완료되었다는 신호를 다시 피드백 함으로써 모니터링 모듈에서 홈코드 세팅상태를 확인할 수 있도록 한 것이다. That is, in the present invention, when the home module setting command is transmitted from the monitoring module to the home appliance, the home appliance having received the home module sets the home code and then feeds back a signal indicating that the setting is completed. This is to check the code setting status. 따라서 본 발명에 따른 원격 모니터링 시스템 및 그 제어방법은 사용자가 홈코드 세팅후 해당 제품으로부터 홈코드 세팅에 대한 정보를 피드백 받음으로써 홈코드 세팅상태를 파악할 수 있으므로 모니터링 하는데 있어서 발생되는 에러와 홈코드 세팅에서 발생되는 에러를 구분할 수 있으며, 홈코드 세팅 상태를 확인한 후 모니터링 명령을 송/수신 함으로써 보다 정확하게 모니터링이 이루어질 수 있다 Therefore, the remote monitoring system and its control method according to the present invention can determine the home code setting state by the user receiving the information on the home code setting from the product after setting the home code, so that the error and home code setting generated in the monitoring Errors can be distinguished from, and monitoring can be done more precisely by checking the home code setting status and sending / receiving monitoring commands. 모니터링/홈코드 Monitoring / Home Code

Washing machine with dryer or drying machine with modified control unit

FIELD: engineering. SUBSTANCE: the washing machine with dryer or drying machine with home application comprises a a rotating drum for clothes where the clothes can be washed or dried, control unit for measuring at least such working property as clothes moisture. The measuring means are connected with the control unit of the machine and control it according to the measurements. The measuring means contain a power generator installed in the rotating drum and a device for wireless communication with the control unit. The power generator contains a permanent magnet which slides freely inside the tube made from insulating material. The outer tube surface has at least one coiling connected with an electronic circuit capable of generating and feeding power to the control unit. The washing machine with dryer or drying machine is controlled without the use of mechanical elements for generating and sending signals with necessary information to the control unit. EFFECT: the electric signal generated by the control unit can be used to measure drum rotation rate, specifically, to detect possible malfunctions. 6 cl, 4 dwg РОССИЙСКАЯ ФЕДЕРАЦИЯ (19) RU (11) 2 442 852 (13) C2 (51) МПК D06F 58/28 (2006.01) ФЕДЕРАЛЬНАЯ СЛУЖБА ПО ИНТЕЛЛЕКТУАЛЬНОЙ СОБСТВЕННОСТИ (12) ОПИСАНИЕ ИЗОБРЕТЕНИЯ К ПАТЕНТУ (21)(22) Заявка: 2007133109/12, 03.09.2007 (24) Дата начала отсчета срока действия патента: 03.09.2007 (73) Патентообладатель(и): ЭЛЕКТРОЛЮКС ХОУМ ПРОДАКТС КОРПОРЕЙШН Н.В.
