Abstract: Disclosed is a method for drying laundry using an intelligent washer. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for drying laundry trains a time prediction model for obtaining first remaining time information related to complete dryness of the laundry, obtains first washer state information related to a state of a washer for drying the laundry, obtains the first remaining time information by inputting the first washer state information to the trained time prediction model, and dries the washer based on the obtained first remaining time information, thus precisely predicting the time necessary for complete dryness of wet laundry. According to an embodiment, the washer may be related to artificial intelligence (AI) modules, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robots, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, and 5G service-related devices.

Abstract: A condensing type clothes dryer having a heat pump cycle is provided that may include a drum in which an object to be dried may be accommodated; a circulation duct that forms a circulation passage such that air may circulate via the drum; and a heat pump cycle. The heat pump cycle may include a plurality of evaporators provided adjacent to each other in the circulation duct; a condenser provided at a downstream side of the plurality of evaporators and spaced therefrom, that absorbs heat of air discharged from the drum through the plurality of evaporators, and transfers the heat to air introduced into the drum through the condenser, using an operation fluid, which may circulate via the plurality of evaporators and the condenser; a plurality of divergence pipes that form a divergence passage, such that the operation fluid discharged from the condenser may be introduced into each of the plurality of evaporators; a plurality of electronic expansion valves provided at the plurality of divergence pipes, respectively, that opens and closes the plurality of divergence passage; and a controller that controls a flow amount of the operation fluid to be introduced into each of the plurality of evaporators by controlling an open degree of the divergence passage based on a super heat degree of the operation fluid passing through each of the plurality of evaporators.
