Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention provides a system for a washing machine that can automatically set water flow and washing time. n device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of two-tub washing machine has been constructed as shown in FIG. 3 is a control means that can control the washing or rinsing operation; 4 is an operation execution means that executes the washing or rinsing operation by the control means 3; 1 is a water flow to the control means 3;
This is a first input means for inputting settings corresponding to each content of washing time. The control means 3 reads the setting input from the first input means 1, processes it according to a built-in program, and outputs a control signal to the operation execution means 4 to control the washing or rinsing operation. .

Specifically, the control means 3 includes an input section 3b to which a setting input is given from the first input means 1, an output section 3d for outputting a signal to the operation execution means 4, and a storage section in which a program is stored. 3a, and a performance control section 3C that controls the input section 3b and output section 3d to perform a data comparison performance.

The first input means 1 is configured to sequentially switch the set water flow among a plurality of types of water flow each time the water flow switching button is operated, and similarly, to switch the washing time, each time the washing time switching button is operated, a plurality of types of water The set washing time of the time changes sequentially. Further, in the first input means 1, only when a specific water flow is selected using the water flow switching button, the washing time corresponding to that water flow is automatically set. Furthermore, conventionally, operation according to the settings of the first input means 1 is started by operating a start button.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, when a user wants to wash special laundry (for example, laundry with a hand wash label), the user has to set not only the water flow but also the washing time. I have to do it again. Even if the washing time is automatically set by selecting the specific water flow, there is a problem in that the user must repeatedly operate a water flow switching button to select the specific water flow, which is time-consuming.

The present invention provides a washing machine control that allows the user to operate the washing machine with the appropriate water flow and washing time without having to repeatedly operate the water flow switching button or washing time switching button when attempting to wash special laundry. The purpose is to provide a ll device.

Means for Solving Problems Controlling the Washing Machine of the Invention! l The device sequentially switches the set water flow among multiple types of water flow each time a single water flow switching button is operated, and the set water flow among multiple types of washing times is changed each time a single wash time switching button is operated. A first input means for sequentially changing the washing time, and a control means for instructing the operation execution means to perform a washing or rinsing operation according to the set water flow and set washing time of the first input means, and the water flow and washing time are a second input means is provided, and when a selection of the second input means is detected, the control means is configured to perform the operation according to the settings of the second input means with priority over the first input means. The method is characterized in that it is configured to instruct the execution means.

Function According to this configuration, in addition to the first input means for setting the water flow and washing time in accordance with each content, a second input means for setting the water flow and washing time at the same time is provided, so that it is possible to set the water flow and washing time at the same time. When washing, the user only needs to select the second input means, and the washing machine will be operated with the predetermined water flow and washing time without having to switch the first input means.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. In FIG. 1, the same parts as those in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals, and the explanation thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 shows a control device according to the present invention, and reference numeral 2 denotes a second input means for setting and inputting water flow and washing time to the control means 3 at the same time.

FIG. 2 shows the main part of the flowchart ↑・- under the control of the control means 3. [Step 5] The control means 3 determines whether or not the water flow has been switched. If the water flow has been switched, the control means 3 switches and sets the water flow time limit in [Step 10]. Next, in step 6, the control means 3 determines whether or not the washing time has been changed. If the washing time has been changed, the washing time is changed and set in step 7. Next, in step 8, the control means 3
G, determine whether the second input means 2 is selected;
If selected, the predetermined water flow time limit and washing time will be automatically set, giving priority to the previous settings. And here, the predetermined water flow by the second input means 2 refers to the water flow determined in advance by the second input means 2 when the first input means 1 is selected for the purpose of increasing the cleaning effect without damaging the laundry when washing special laundry. The control means 3 controls the speed so that the water flow has a (1/2) duty cycle. In addition, the predetermined washing time is set to ``2 minutes'' or ``3 minutes'' to avoid damaging special laundry items.This time setting of ``2 minutes'' or ``3 minutes'' can also be applied during rinsing.

When the second input means 2 is selected, the above predetermined water flow time limit and washing time are automatically set (step 9), and when the first input means 1 is selected, In contrast, the operation is performed by instructing the operation execution means 4 to immediately start the operation without waiting for the operation detection of the start button.

Effects of the Invention As described above, when washing special laundry, the washing machine control device of the present invention allows the user to change the previous water flow and washing time by simply selecting the second input means. Priority is given to the conventional method, which can be operated with each predetermined water flow and 1ft when washing, and requires repeated operation of the water flow switching button until the purpose and type of water flow, etc. are selected. This improves operability compared to the previous version.
