Abstract

The invention relates to a foam detecting method of a washing machine. The foam detecting method of a washing machine in the invention judges whether the foam is generated in the washing process after the unwatering process, rather than by comparing the drainage time and foam drainage time prior to the occurrence of the bubble to determine whether or not. Because of judging the emergence of the foam or not in advance in the course of draining off water, rather than judge in the unwatering process, and carrying out the foam to remove and operate according to judged result, thus the invention can avoid the adverse effect caused by happening in bubble.

Description

The foam detecting method of washing machine
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of foam detecting method that in carrying out washing stroke, detects foam of washing machine.
Background technology
Fig. 1 is the detection of the foam in the implementation of the washing stroke that is made of feedwater, washing, draining, dehydration of the prior art and the flow chart of removal method; Fig. 2 is the experimental diagrams that the rotation number with washing motor in the dehydration of time presentation graphs 1 changes, and wherein, the X-axis on the chart is with minute representing.
With reference to Fig. 1, washing stroke of the prior art carries out according to the order of feedwater process S10, washing process S11, drainage procedure S12, dehydration S13, S16, wherein, in dehydration S13, utilizes whether S14 of generation that level sensor detects foam.In general, during less than reference water place value (23.0KHz), will be judged as foam, thereby will finish ongoing dehydration S13, and carry out dehydration S16 again after foam is removed operation S15 carrying out by the detected water level value of level sensor.Remove among the operation S15 at above-mentioned foam, will feed water repeatedly, and cylinder is just being carried out/contrary operation of rotating with low speed.Judge in above-mentioned dehydration S13 the generation whether reason of foam is with as described below.
With reference to Fig. 2, from dehydration S13 through after 1.9-2.0 minute time, the rotation number of washing motor with urgency accelerate to 400RPM (rev/min).At this moment, by experiment as can be known, the anxious acceleration of washing motor will make the more discharge of foam that comprises in the washings, because the foam volume of discharging is a lot, the generation that can be relatively easy to detect foam whether.
But whether the generation of judging foam in dehydration S13 and when carrying out foam and removing operation S15, be tackled by foam and take place and the various problems that causes will be too late.
Promptly when judging the foam generation and carry out foam removal operation S15, foam spills into the outside by detergent box.
Continue consumed energy failing to reach under the situation of desirable scourability this moment, and increased the time period after the unnecessary energy consumption.
The foam that has overflowed drops on the floor, and the consumer is slipped by foam, or the unsafe condition time period afterwards that causes short circuit and cause breaking out of fire.
Its result owing to fail to tackle rapidly the generation of foam, by foam take place and the factor of after-sale services that causes with corresponding increase, thereby cause the reliability of product to reduce, and cause that the consumer's is discontented.
The content of invention
In order to solve the problem that exists as mentioned above, the foam detecting method of the washing machine among the present invention, in the washing stroke that comprises the dehydration of carrying out after drainage procedure finishes, it includes following several steps: the step that detects the water discharge time of washings in its drainage procedure; The benchmark draining time ratio that detects before above-mentioned water discharge time and foam taken place and is judged the generation whether step of foam.
Wherein, above-mentioned water discharge time is the time that washings were discharged and arrived empty water level, or the power of washing machine time of arriving draining power and keeping.
Wherein, above-mentioned draining power is the power that draining pump consumed in the above-mentioned drainage procedure, be the power that consumes in washing process or the dehydration 0.2-0.3 doubly.
When above-mentioned water discharge time is longer than the said reference water discharge time, will be judged as foam and take place, more specifically, when above-mentioned water discharge time is 4-5 times of said reference water discharge time, will be judged as foam and take place.
Foam detecting method according to the washing machine among aforesaid the present invention, in the washing stroke that comprises the dehydration of carrying out after drainage procedure finishes, the generation of in dehydration, not judging foam whether, but the generation that the water discharge time before the water discharge time by washings relatively and foam take place in drainage procedure is judged foam is whether.Because the generation of prejudging out foam in drainage procedure whether, rather than judge in dehydration, and will carry out foam according to its judged result and remove operation, thereby can avoid taking place and the adverse effect that causes by foam.That is, take place by in drainage procedure, detecting foam in advance, thereby can prevent the situation that foam overflows by detergent box in advance.Can prevent in advance also that scourability from not reaching under the perfect condition continues consumed energy, and increases the situation that unnecessary energy consumes.Simultaneously, can prevent in advance that the foam that overflows from dropping on the floor, cause the consumer to be slipped, or cause short circuit and cause the situation of fire by foam.Can eliminate the after-sale service factor that causes by the foam generation, thereby improve the reliability of product, improve the satisfaction of consumer product.
