Abstract:
The present invention relates to a system iron. The system iron according to the present invention includes a body including a steam generator for generating steam; an ironing plate, which is rotatably coupled to an upper portion of the body and which sprays the steam generated by the steam generator to an outside; an angle-limiting member for limiting rotation of the ironing plate; a button unit, which is operated in linkage with the angle-limiting unit so as to release a state in which the rotation of the ironing plate is limited by the angle-limiting unit; and an elastic member for maintaining the state in which the rotation of the ironing plate is limited by the angle-limiting unit.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a control method of a dryer, and a controller in which the control method can be implemented. The control method includes detecting at least one of temperature and relative humidity of air discharged from a drum rotating in one direction, comparing a variation rate of the detected at least one of the temperature and the relative humidity with a reference value to sense occurrence of entanglement inside the drum, rotating the drum in a reverse direction such that the entanglement is clear when the entanglement has occurred; and maintaining a rotational direction of the drum during a certain time such that, after the rotational direction is changed, the rotational direction of the drum is not changed back during the certain time.
