Controlling apparatus for operation of dryer

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To make surely terminable a drying operation at the end time reserved in the timer function of a control means by controlling a hot air supplier based on the detection information of a clothes amount detection means and a drying detection means. CONSTITUTION: A microcomputer 14 as a control means normally makes the present time digitally displayed at a display device 18 by an internal clock function, and when a timer set signal S15 is supplied from a timer set switch 15, sets the end time to an internal timer function and displays it at the display device 18. Then, based on the detection information of a clothes amount judgment means provided with a contact rate detection circuit 24 and the drying detection means provided with a drying rate detection circuit 25, the energizing duty factor of the electric heater 10 of the hot air supplier is controlled. Thus, the end time of the drying operation by the hot air supplier can be made to surely match with the reserved end time set to the timer function of the microcomputer 14.
