Design of Automatic Cloth Drying Tube Machine

Abstract

The paper presents the Automatic Cloth Drying Tube Machine (ACDTM), an innovative solution designed to tackle the persistent challenge of efficient cloth drying, particularly under adverse weather conditions. The primary objective is to mitigate the discomfort associated with wearing damp clothing by utilizing an automated electronic system to achieve effective garment drying. The device operates by channeling a downward stream of heated air through a tube, ensuring rapid and thorough drying of clothes suspended within the system, thereby reducing reliance on conventional natural drying methods. Efficient cloth drying remains a global challenge due to climatic variations, urban residential constraints, and adverse weather conditions. Urban areas, characterized by high population density and limited living spaces, often lack adequate room for traditional drying methods, compounded by insufficient sunlight exposure due to tall buildings or other obstructions. The proposed machine ACDTM addresses these challenges with an advanced electronic system that incorporates an AC 220V turbofan, an LED strip, and an XH W3001 thermostat equipped with a soil moisture sensor. This compact system is specifically designed for confined spaces, making it ideal for urban environments. It eliminates the need for outdoor drying, particularly in pollution-prone areas, and ensures efficient and hygienic drying in regions with high humidity. The automated mechanism detects moisture levels in clothes, optimizing energy consumption and enhancing user convenience. The inclusion of digital thermostat technology allows for precise temperature adjustments to match fabric quality, ensuring safe and efficient drying operations tailored to various fabric types.
