Abstract
A control method for a clothes drying device includes: a load determination stage: determining the size of a load; and a drying stage: on the basis of the size of the load, selectively controlling a drying drum to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise alternately or controlling the drying stage to at least operate for a first preset time. In the embodiments, targeted control can be carried out on different loads: during the drying of a large load by controlling a drying drum to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise alternately, the load is effectively prevented from being knotted and twisted; and during the drying of a small load, the phenomenon of uneven drying of mixed loads is avoided by means of prolonging the drying time.
