II. drum rotating motion

As diversified drum driven motion and combination thereof in this concrete enforcement and wide in range description can provide significantly improving of washability, noise/vibration, energy consumption and user satisfaction.Description is provided to the control method of the washability of raising.Can embody hand washing effect by the various motor patterns of clothing.For example, can by push (massage) and/or untie (disentangle) and/or clash into (strike) and/or swing (swing) and/or rub (rub) and/or extruding (squeeze)/filtering (filtrate) combination embody hand washing effect.

Can implement by the combination of various drum driven motions and the motion of different drum driven the described various motor patterns of clothing.Drum driven motion can comprise the combination of direction of rotation and rotary speed.The clothing that is arranged in cylinder can have different falling directions, setting point and distance of fall due to drum driven motion.Due to this reason, clothing can have different motions in cylinder inside.For example, can specifically implement multiple drum driven motion by the direction of rotation of the motor of control head roll and/or speed.

In the time of drum rotating, promote clothing by being arranged on one or more lifting members 135 at perimeter surface place in cylinder.Due to this reason, the direction of rotation of cylinder can be controlled, and the impact (shock) that is applied to clothing can change accordingly.That is, can change the mechanical force that is applied to clothing, as the fall impacting of the frictional force generating between the frictional force generating between many clothings, clothing and water and clothing.In other words, the degree (degree) that is applied to clothing with the shock of washing clothes or washes (scrubbing) by rubbing with the hands can be changed, and the clothing decentralization of cylinder inside or rolling (turn-over) degree can change accordingly.

Result is, this control method of washing machine can provide various drum driven motions, and drum driven motion changes according to each of the particular step of circulation and composition circulation, thereby make optimal mechanical power to be used to process clothes according to kinds of laundry, degree of fouling and other this type of factor of washing.Due to this reason, can improve the detersive efficiency of clothing.In addition, can avoid typical roller actuation movement needed extra time (excessive time).

In certain embodiments, for the so various drum driven motions of concrete enforcement, motor 140 can be direct attachment type., motor can have and is fixed to the stator of staving 120 rear surfaces and the direct rotor of swing roller 120.Because direction of rotation and the torque of direct attachment type motor can be controlled, thereby can prevent time delay or recoil (backlash), so suitable index drum actuation movement.

Otherwise, can be comprising belt pulley (pulley) thereby the drum driven motion that its torque is specifically implemented allowed time delay or recoiled in can being delivered to via belt pulley the indirect connecting-type motor of axle, as rolling movement (tumbling motion) or spin motion (spin motion).But connecting-type motor can have limited applicability indirectly.

Can specifically implement drum driven motion by the control of motor 140.Result is that the control method of motor can be diversified, so can realize various drum driven motions.

To be described in more detail below the motor pattern of clothing and move for the drum driven that realizes clothing motor pattern.

If the friction between clothing and cylinder maximizes, can realize the pushing motor pattern of clothing.For example, when cylinder at a predetermined velocity or lower speed continue when rotation along predetermined direction, clothing rollably moves to realize pushing effect.If the rotary speed of the cylinder driving with rolling movement is restricted to reference velocity, predetermined speed can be reference velocity.For example, be configured to along predetermined direction at a predetermined velocity or the drum driven of lower speed swing roller move and can be defined as " rolling movement " (rolling motion).

Untiing motor pattern for example can specifically be implemented by rolling movement.Rolling movement can be restricted to and be configured to continue moving of swing roller along predetermined direction with reference velocity.Untie motor pattern the clothing in cylinder is dropped, there is middle grade other drop distance and medium sized frictional force.

The clothing dropping in cylinder by the distance that drops from maximum, can realize percussion movement pattern.For example, if with reference velocity or more speed swing roller clothing is risen to the peak of cylinder inside, then check suddenly cylinder, can realize this impact effects.This drum driven motion can be restricted to " step motion " (step motion).

In the time that cylinder rotates with the predetermined speed lower than reference velocity along clockwise/counter clockwise direction, can realize oscillating motion pattern.This drum driven motion can be restricted to " oscillating motion ".

In the time that the frictional force between clothing and cylinder increases, can realize and rub motor pattern.For example, if checked suddenly with the cylinder of reference velocity or more speed rotation along clockwise direction, then rotation in the counterclockwise direction, the interior perimeter surface rolling movement of clothing from the point of the predetermined altitude of cylinder along cylinder.This drum driven motion can be restricted to " washing motion by rubbing with the hands " (scrub motion).

If provide washings in reference velocity or more speed swing roller, can realize extruding and filtering motor pattern.Once cylinder to be to rotate relative to high speed, clothing is deployable or extend and open and attach along the interior perimeter surface of cylinder, is then ejected into washings in cylinder through clothing, and then clothing can be extruded to improve wash effect.This drum driven motion can be restricted to " filtering campaign ".

To the various drum driven motions that be configured to the above-mentioned various motor patterns of realizing clothing be described referring to accompanying drawing.

Fig. 3 A and Fig. 3 B are as the schematic diagram of the various drum driven motions in this concrete enforcement and wide in range description.

The schematic diagram that Fig. 3 A (a) is rolling movement.In rolling movement, motor 140 continues swing roller 130 along predetermined direction, and is positioned at the minimum point that drops to cylinder with respect to swing roller into about the position that is less than 90 ° of angles along the clothing in the perimeter surface of the cylinder of the direction of rotation rotation of cylinder from cylinder.

; once motor 140 is with the speed lower than with reference to rotary speed (rolling rotary speed) (40RPM according to appointment) swing roller; the clothing that is positioned at the minimum point of cylinder 130 rises to predetermined altitude along the direction of rotation of cylinder 130; then, clothing is less than the position rolling movement at 90 ° of angles to the minimum point of cylinder from minimum the lighting with respect to the direction of rotation of cylinder from cylinder.Visually (visually), in the situation that cylinder is rotated in a clockwise direction, clothing is progressive rolling movement in the third quadrant of cylinder.

In rolling movement, maximal friction by clothing and washings, carry out washing clothes with the maximal friction of other washings and with the maximal friction of the interior perimeter surface of cylinder.This rolling movement can roll clothing fully to generate the similar soft clean result pushing.Can be based on determining with the relation of radius roller the cylinder RPM that drum driven is moved.That is, cylinder RPM is larger, and the centrifugal force generating in the clothing of cylinder inside is larger.The size of centrifugal force and be applied to difference between the gravity of clothing in cylinder and make the corresponding sports of point that clothing drops and the inner clothing of cylinder can be different.The two also can be considered frictional force between the revolving force of cylinder and cylinder and clothing.Thereby, can determine and the RPM of the cylinder in rolling movement be less than gravity (1G) with centrifugal force and the frictional force of allowing generation.

The schematic diagram that Fig. 3 A (b) is rolling movement.In rolling movement, motor 140 continues swing roller 130 along predetermined direction, and is positioned at clothing in cylinder perimeter surface and drops to from be about the position of 90 ° to 110 ° with respect to the direction of rotation of cylinder the minimum point of cylinder.If be to rotate with suitable RPM along predetermined direction by cylinder control, between the clothing in rolling movement and cylinder, can generate mechanical force.Due to this reason, rolling movement can be used for washing and rinsing.

, be encased in clothing in cylinder 130 and be positioned at before driving at motor 140 minimum point of cylinder 130.In the time that motor 140 provides torque to cylinder 130, cylinder 130 rotates, and the lifting member 135 that is arranged on the interior perimeter surface place of cylinder rises to predetermined altitude by clothing from the minimum point of cylinder.If motor 140 is for example with the reference rotary speed swing roller 130 of about 46RPM, clothing can be thus lifted to the position with respect to approximately 90 ° to 110 ° of the direction of rotation of cylinder, then drops to the minimum point of cylinder.In rolling movement, can determine that cylinder RPM is greater than the centrifugal force generating in rolling movement and is less than gravity to allow the centrifugal force of generation.

Visually, if be rotated in a clockwise direction at rolling movement intermediate roll, clothing rises to third quadrant and part the second quadrant according to the order of sequence from the minimum point of cylinder.Afterwards, clothing drops to the minimum point of cylinder.Result is, impact and fall impacting that rolling movement makes it possible to by generating with the frictional force of washings carry out washing clothes.Due to this reason, in rolling movement, the mechanical force larger than the mechanical force of rolling movement can be used for implementing washing and rinsing.In addition, rolling movement can be effective for separating the clothing being wound around and disperseing equably clothing.

Fig. 3 A (c) is the schematic diagram of step motion.In step motion, motor 140 is along predetermined direction swing roller 130, and the clothing that is positioned at the perimeter surface of cylinder is controlled as the minimum point that drops to cylinder from the peak with respect to drum rotating direction (being about 180 °).Once motor 140 is for example, with the speed higher than with reference to rotary speed (rolling rotary speed), carry out swing roller 130 with about 60RPM or higher speed, clothing can rotate by centrifugal force until reach the peak of cylinder, and does not drop.In step motion, cylinder rotates clothing is dropped at a predetermined velocity, then checks suddenly to maximize the impact that is applied to clothing when clothing drops.

At predetermined speed (about 60RPM or the higher) swing roller 130 with the clothing that can not drop until after clothing arrives near the peak of cylinder, opposing torque is fed near the cylinder 130 of peak (being 180 ° with respect to the direction of rotation of cylinder) that clothing is positioned at cylinder by motor 140.Thereby clothing promotes from the minimum point of cylinder 130 along the direction of rotation of cylinder, cylinder stopped by the opposing torque moment (momentarily) of motor, and clothing drops to minimum point from the peak of cylinder 130.The impact that step motion makes it possible to by being generated in the time that clothing drops with maximum height difference carrys out washing clothes.The mechanical force generating in this step motion is greater than the mechanical force generating in above-mentioned rolling movement or rolling movement.

Visually, in step motion, in the rotation via along with cylinder, after the minimum point of cylinder moves to peak, the distance that drops of cylinder inside is maximum in step motion, and the mechanical force of step motion can be applied to a small amount of clothing effectively.The torque that motor 140 can use edge to generate with respect to the opposite direction of motor direction of rotation is reversed phase place and checks (reversing-phase-braked) in step motion.The phase place that is fed to the electric current of motor can be inverted with the reverse rotation direction along motor and generate opposing torque, and reverse phase is checked to make it possible to apply suddenly and checked.Reverse phase is checked and be can be used for thump to be applied to clothing.

Thereby, applying torque with after being rotated in a clockwise direction cylinder, apply torque so that swing roller and cylinder are checked suddenly in the counterclockwise direction.Afterwards, torque is applied to cylinder to be rotated in a clockwise direction, thus specific implementation step motion.The impact that step motion can be used for using the frictional force between water and the clothing of introducing via the through hole 131 forming in cylinder and uses the clothing dropping in the time that clothing reaches cylinder peak to generate carrys out washing clothes.This step motion can generate the effect of " shock clothing " formula washing.

The schematic diagram that Fig. 3 A (d) is oscillating motion.In oscillating motion, motor 140 along clockwise direction with swing roller 130 counterclockwise alternately, and clothing is approximately less than the position of 90 ° in the direction of rotation with respect to cylinder and drops.That is, once motor 140 for example, with the speed lower than with reference to rotary speed (rolling rotary speed), carry out swing roller 130 with about 40RPM in the counterclockwise direction, the clothing that is positioned at the minimum point place of cylinder 130 promotes predetermined altitude in the counterclockwise direction.Before clothing arrives at the position with respect to approximately 90 ° of the counter clockwise directions of cylinder, motor stops the rotation of cylinder, and clothing is approximately less than the position of 90 ° and drops to the minimum point of cylinder from the counter clockwise direction with respect to cylinder.

Thus, motor 140 for example, with the speed lower than with reference to rotary speed (rolling rotary speed), carry out swing roller 130 with about 40RPM along clockwise direction, promotes predetermined altitude with the direction of rotation along cylinder by clothing along clockwise direction.Before clothing arrives the position with respect to approximately 90 ° of the counter clockwise directions of cylinder, motor stops the rotation of cylinder, and clothing drops to the minimum point of cylinder from be less than the position of 90 ° with respect to the clockwise direction of cylinder.

Thereby oscillating motion is can repeat with respect to the rotation of first direction and stop and with respect to the rotation of second (on the contrary) direction and the motion stopping.Visually, repeat by clothing from the third quadrant of cylinder rise to part the second quadrant more mildly (softly) drop, and clothing risen to part first quartile again from the fourth quadrant of cylinder mildly drop again.

In certain embodiments, motor 140 can use rheostat to check (rheostatic braking) and be applied to the load of motor 140, thereby can reduce the mechanical wear of motor 140, and the adjustable impact that is applied to clothing.Use rheostat is checked, if being applied to the electric current of motor is turned off, motor is because rotatory inertia plays the effect of generator (generator), and at the moving sense of current of the coil midstream of motor by the inverse direction before changing into power-off, and apply power (Fleming's right-hand rule) along the direction of disturbing motor rotation, to check motor.Check differently from reverse phase, rheostat is checked not generate suddenly and is checked, but mildly changes the direction of rotation of cylinder.Result is that clothing can move with 8-shaped on the third and fourth quadrant of cylinder in oscillating motion.Oscillating motion can generate the washing of " swing clothing " formula.

Fig. 3 A (e) is for washing the schematic diagram of motion by rubbing with the hands.Washing by rubbing with the hands in motion, motor 140 along clockwise direction with swing roller 130 alternately counterclockwise, and clothing can drop from the position that is greater than 90 ° with respect to the direction of rotation of cylinder.

; once motor 140 is with the speed higher than with reference to rotary speed (rolling rotary speed), as carried out swing roller 130 with about 60RPM or higher speed in the counterclockwise direction, the clothing that is positioned at cylinder 130 minimum points has promoted predetermined altitude in the counterclockwise direction.Passed through the position of approximately 90 ° with respect to the counter clockwise direction of cylinder at clothing after, motor provides opposing torque temporarily to stop cylinder to cylinder, and the clothing being positioned in cylinder perimeter surface can drop fast, especially cause being positioned at clothing in cylinder perimeter surface from 90 ° of the clockwise directions with respect to cylinder or more the position of wide-angle drop to the minimum point of cylinder.Thereby washing by rubbing with the hands in motion, clothing can drop fast from predetermined altitude.Motor 140 can be checked cylinder by reverse phase.

Washing by rubbing with the hands in motion, the direction of rotation of cylinder changes fast, and clothing can not leave for a long time from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder.Due to this reason, washing by rubbing with the hands in motion, can realize the effect of carrying out strong scrubbing type washing by the maximum friction between clothing and cylinder.Washing by rubbing with the hands in motion, the clothing that moves to part the second quadrant via third quadrant drops fast, and again drops after again moving to part first quartile via fourth quadrant.Result is, visually, washing by rubbing with the hands in motion, the clothing of lifting drops repeatedly along the interior perimeter surface of cylinder.

The schematic diagram that Fig. 3 A (f) is filtering campaign.In filtering campaign, motor 140 swing rollers 130, clothing can not dropped from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder, and washings are injected in cylinder.,, in filtering campaign, along with washings are injected in cylinder, clothing is along the close contact of the interior perimeter surface expansion of cylinder the interior perimeter surface of maintenance and cylinder.Water is because the through hole 131 that centrifugal force passes through cylinder is discharged from staving.Due to filtering campaign trail/expand clothing surface area and make water can pass clothing, thereby washings can be fed to clothing equably.

The schematic diagram that Fig. 3 A (g) is compressional movement.In compressional movement, motor 140 swing rollers 130, make clothing utilize centrifugal force and attach to the interior perimeter surface of cylinder/do not drop from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder, and the rotary speed that then motor reduces cylinder 130 is temporarily to separate clothing from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder.During drum rotating, this process is repeatedly carried out and water is injected in cylinder.,, in filtering campaign, cylinder can not make the speed that clothing drops from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder continue rotation to be high enough to.Otherwise in compressional movement, the rotary speed of cylinder changes, with the process that repeats clothing to attach to the interior perimeter surface of cylinder 130 and separate from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder 130.

In filtering campaign and compressional movement, washings are ejected in cylinder 130 and for example can be implemented by circulating path and pump.Pump can be communicated with the lower surface of staving 120, and one end of circulating path is connected with pump, thereby washings are ejected in cylinder from staving via the other end of circulating path.

In alternate embodiment, washings can be ejected into cylinder via the feed lines being connected with the outside watering that is positioned at hull outside.That is, one end of feed lines is connected with outside source, and its other end is connected with staving.If nozzle is set so that washings are ejected in cylinder, in any one in filtering campaign and compressional movement or two, washings can be injected in cylinder.

Fig. 3 B (H) is for illustrating the schematic diagram of " A " motion.A motion allows that motor is along predetermined direction swing roller, changes the RPM of cylinder with the motion of the clothing of change cylinder inside.In other words,, in the time of motor swing roller, motor can change the RPM of cylinder at least two steps.

For example, motor can be first along predetermined direction with a RPM swing roller, as shown in Fig. 3 B (h1), then motor can be with the two RPM swing roller faster than a RPM, as shown in Fig. 3 B (h2), then motor can be with the three RPM swing roller faster than the 2nd RPM, shown in 3B (h3).Can suitably determine the RPM of each step, and each step can be performed preset time period.

,, in the time of drum rotating, can determine that a RPM drops with the angle that is less than 90 ° along the direction of rotation of cylinder with the clothing of allowing cylinder inside.Due to this reason, in the time that cylinder rotates with a RPM, the clothing in cylinder can mainly move in the bottom of cylinder, and does not move to the top of cylinder.Especially, a RPM allows that clothing rises to and is less than the angle of 90 ° and drops and roll to move to the minimum point of cylinder along the interior perimeter surface of cylinder along the direction of rotation of cylinder.Visually, in the time that cylinder is rotated in a clockwise direction, can show clothing all the time (consistently) in the third quadrant of cylinder, roll, as shown in Fig. 3 B (h1), and in the time that cylinder rotates in the counterclockwise direction, can show clothing can roll all the time in the fourth quadrant of cylinder.Result is, once cylinder rotate with a RPM, the frictional force of the clothing in cylinder (frictional force between clothing and cylinder, between many clothings itself and between clothing and washings) maximizing.The one RPM is for example about 40rpm.

The comparable RPM of the 2nd RPM is fast, to allow that the clothing in cylinder drops after rising to the top of cylinder.In the time that cylinder rotates with a RPM, the clothing in cylinder does not rise to the top of cylinder, but drops before the top of its arrival cylinder.Otherwise once cylinder rotates with the 2nd RPM, clothing probably rises to the top of cylinder, thereby with compared with a RPM swing roller, improve clothing drop height and be applied to buckles and the mechanical force of clothing.For example, in the time that cylinder rotates with the 2nd RPM, the clothing in cylinder can drop to the angle of 110 ° with approximately 90 ° along the direction of rotation of cylinder, as shown in Fig. 3 B (h2).The 2nd RPM for example can be about 46rpm.

Comparable the first and second RPM of the 3rd RPM are both fast.For example, in the time that cylinder rotates with the 3rd RPM, the clothing in cylinder can keep being attached to the interior perimeter surface of cylinder and can not separate from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder, and this is the gravity that is greater than clothing due to the centrifugal force being generated in the cylinder with the 3rd RPM rotation.Capacity that can be based on laundry amounts and cylinder by the 3rd RPM be for example adjusted to approximately 100 and 110rpm between.In the time that washings are fed to the cylinder rotating with the 3rd RPM, more efficient washing and rinsing meeting are possible.In this case, can carry out supplying washing water again by the washings in circulation cylinder.In other words, once extend supplying washing water along the interior perimeter surface of cylinder with clothing after the 3rd RPM swing roller.Because washings are through clothing and from drum discharge, thereby washing and rinsing performance can correspondingly strengthen.

A moves in predetermined direction swing roller, use cylinder RPM gradually with the distribution curve (profile) of sustainable growth.That is, by first making the clothing motion in the bottom of cylinder and from the bottom of cylinder, clothing being dropped, then arrive the top of cylinder, the RPM of cylinder can increase gradually again.When the laundry amounts in cylinder is predetermined value or when larger, can carry out A motion.For example, when the laundry amounts in cylinder is predetermined value or when larger, can be applied to motor with from starting just with high RPM swing roller than the larger load of needs, and this can produce bad impact to motor.Due to this reason, if when laundry amounts be predetermined value or when larger cylinder with the motion rotation such as A motion (A motion is configured to along with gathering way gradually as described above distribution curve and head roll), can prevent from being applied to the excessive load of motor, and cylinder can rotate with high RPM within the short time.

By extending, A motion can at least twice or more times repeat.For example, according to A, motion accelerates to the 3rd RPM from a RPM to drum speed.Afterwards, the RPM of cylinder is reduced to a RPM, then can re-execute accelerating step.This repeating continues to change the speed of cylinder, and can generate the motion of clothing and the washings of cylinder inside, similar with turbulent flow (turbulence).Result is to improve washing or rinsing ability in washing or rinse step.

Each step of A motion can be performed suitable preset time period, and this suitable preset time period can regulate based on laundry amounts and type.In certain embodiments, A motion also can be included in the step that reduces the RPM distribution curve of cylinder after above-mentioned steps.For example, in the time of drum rotating, from clothing being moved to the step of interior perimeter surface of cylinder and the step of the clothing that drops the thereafter step to the clothing of motion cylinder bottom, A motion can be controlled RPM and change.

Can above-mentioned A motion be described by combining above-mentioned motion.That is, can be rolling movement with the step of a RPM swing roller, can be rolling movement with the step of the 2nd RPM swing roller, and can be filtering campaign with the step of the 3rd RPM swing roller.Thereby can omit describing in further detail of above-mentioned rolling, rolling and filtering campaign.

Fig. 3 B (I) is for illustrating the schematic diagram of " B " motion.B motion comprise motor along clockwise/counterclockwise swing roller step and along the step of predetermined direction swing roller.In the step along clockwise/counter clockwise direction swing roller, the RPM of cylinder can change and/or the steering angle (cylinder changes the angle of direction of rotation) of cylinder can increase, to change the motion of the clothing in cylinder.

For example, B motion can comprise as shown in Fig. 3 B (I1) motor along two opposite directions with the first step of a RPM swing roller, as shown in Fig. 3 B (I2) motor along both direction with the step of the two RPM swing roller faster than a RPM and as shown in Fig. 3 B (I3) motor along single direction the step with the 2nd RPM swing roller.Result is, B motion can comprise along clockwise/counterclockwise with the step of a RPM swing roller, along clockwise/counterclockwise with the step of the 2nd RPM swing roller and along the step of booking list direction rotation cylinder.In addition,, because the 2nd RPM is higher than a RPM, thereby can being restricted to the motion of " weak motion " and the 2nd RPM, the motion of a RPM can be restricted to " sharp movement ".Result is, B motion can comprise be configured to along clockwise/counterclockwise the weak movement step and at least twice of swing roller repeats the step of sharp movement.Sharp movement can comprise booking list direction and clockwise/anticlockwise at least one item.

More specifically, first step can comprise along predetermined direction with a RPM swing roller until cylinder arrives at the step of first anglec of rotation, along the direction rotation cylinder contrary with this predetermined direction until cylinder arrives at the step of second anglec of rotation, and repeat these steps at predetermined time period.

In certain embodiments, first anglec of rotation can be set to and approximately be less than 90 °.That is, motor along predetermined direction by drum rotating to the angle that is less than 90 °, and the rotation of cylinder stops.Thereby a RPM can be confirmed as allowing that the clothing in cylinder drops with the angle that is less than 90 ° along the direction of rotation of cylinder, thereby make in the time that cylinder rotates with a RPM, clothing is in the motion of the bottom of cylinder.For example, a RPM is about 40rpm.

For example, once cylinder arrives at first anglec of rotation (being less than the preset angle of 90 °), motor changes the direction of rotation of cylinder, and in opposite direction with a RPM swing roller, until cylinder arrives at second anglec of rotation.

Second anglec of rotation can be confirmed as allowing that the clothing in cylinder moves in cylinder bottom.Thereby second anglec of rotation can be confirmed as being approximately less than 90 °, thereby make when rotating in opposite direction until while arriving at second anglec of rotation (being approximately less than the angle of 90 °), the clothing that drops to cylinder minimum point moves in the bottom of cylinder.

Motor repeats above-mentioned steps in given circulation.Result is that first step is along two opposite directions with relative low speed rotation cylinder, to generate the soft motion of clothing.

After first step, motor can accelerate to carry out second step to drum speed.Second step can comprise with the 2nd RPM swing roller until cylinder arrive at the step of the 3rd anglec of rotation, in opposite direction swing roller until cylinder arrive at the step of the 4th anglec of rotation and repeat the step of these steps.Between the first step and second step of B motion, in the time of drum rotating, the anglec of rotation of cylinder and RPM can be different.

The 2nd RPM of second step can be confirmed as allowing that the clothing in cylinder drops to the angle of 180 ° with approximately 90 ° along direction of rotation in the time of drum rotating.In the time that cylinder rotates with the 2nd RPM, the clothing in cylinder can drop from the top of cylinder.For example, the 2nd RPM is about 60rpm.Result is that the 2nd RPM can be higher than the rotary speed of above-mentioned rolling movement.Third and fourth anglec of rotation can be 90 ° or larger.Result is, motor is with the 2nd RPM (i.e. about 60rpm) swing roller, until cylinder arrives at the 3rd anglec of rotation (default 90 ° or larger), then along the direction of rotation (opposite direction) changing with the 2nd RPM swing roller until cylinder arrives at the 4th anglec of rotation.The 4th anglec of rotation can be 90 ° or larger, similar with the 3rd anglec of rotation, thus the clothing dropping in cylinder with the angle of 90 ° to 180 ° along the direction of rotation of cylinder as described above.

When in the time that the direction of rotation of second step intermediate roll changes, motor can apply torque (being opposing torque) along the opposite direction of cylinder, corresponding with above-mentioned " reverse phase is checked ".Result is, when in the time that the direction of rotation of second step intermediate roll changes, to carry out reverse phase and check, and can in second step, apply than mechanical force larger in first step.Because clothing drops from higher position by the RPM than fast in first step in second step, thereby larger impact and mechanical force can be applied to clothing.

Third step can comprise as shown in Fig. 3 B (I3) with the 2nd RPM swing roller until cylinder arrives at the step of the 5th anglec of rotation, the step that predetermined time cycle stops cylinder and the step that repeats these steps.In other words, in third step, motor can be along predetermined direction swing roller, and motor in the first and second steps along two opposite direction swing rollers.

More specifically, motor can be with the 2nd RPM swing roller until cylinder arrives at the 5th anglec of rotation.Result is, the clothing in cylinder can be rotated, and can be attached to the interior perimeter surface of cylinder and do not separate from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder, until arrive at the 5th anglec of rotation.The 5th anglec of rotation can be confirmed as approximately 180 °, thus along with motor with about 60rpm swing roller until drum rotating approximately 180 °, clothing can and promote along the top rotation of revolving bending roller of cylinder, and does not separate from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder.

Afterwards, during motor predetermined time cycle, cylinder is stopped.In certain embodiments, motor use reverse phase is checked and is stopped cylinder, applies strong mechanical force with the clothing in cylinder, and clothing can drop from the top of cylinder so that the power that drops maximizes.

The reason that these steps can be repeated is, motor can continue swing roller along predetermined direction, and when cylinder arrives at the 5th anglec of rotation, and motor can stop predetermined period of time by cylinder before recovering to rotate.

In certain embodiments, the step of not checking suddenly step along predetermined direction swing roller also can be arranged between second step and third step, rotates between step and predetermined direction rotation step in clockwise/counter clockwise direction.For example, rolling step can be arranged on second and third step between.

With reference to B move described second and the order of third step can change.Particularly, comprise that first the predetermined direction rotation step of checking suddenly step can carry out, and comprise check suddenly step clockwise/counterclockwise rotate step can carry out after a while.

Can above-mentioned B motion be described by the combination of above-mentioned other motion.That is, can be oscillating motion along two opposite directions with the step of a RPM swing roller, and can be to wash by rubbing with the hands with the step of the 2nd RPM swing roller along two opposite directions and move.Can be step motion along predetermined single direction with the step of the 2nd RPM swing roller.Result is to have omitted further detailed description.

Fig. 4 is the schematic diagram of step motion more details.

First,, as shown in Fig. 4 (a)-(c), clothing moves to peak from the minimum point of cylinder 130.As described in the staving 120 of static (stand still) about adjacent with cylinder 130, the clothing receiving in cylinder 130 moves to the peak of staving 120 from the position adjacent with the minimum point of staving 120.For this motion of clothing, motor 140 has applied revolving force (being torque) along predetermined direction (for as shown in drawings clockwise) to cylinder, and cylinder 130 rotates to promote clothing together with clothing along predetermined direction.

Clothing can rotate together with cylinder, by with the frictional force of the interior perimeter surface of lifting member and cylinder 130 and with the inner surface close contact of cylinder 130.By with about 60RPM or higher come swing roller 130, clothing is thus lifted to the peak of cylinder 130, and do not separate from cylinder 130, because generating up to the peak of cylinder 130, rotary speed is for this reason all enough to the predetermined centrifugal force that prevents that clothing from separating from cylinder 130.

The rotary speed of cylinder can change, the centrifugal force being generated to make is greater than gravity, and this allows clothing peak rotation from the minimum point of cylinder 130 (it is the predetermined point of the drum inner surface adjacent with the minimum point of staving 120) to staving 120 together with cylinder.In the time that cylinder 130 in the time that clothing arrives at the peak of cylinder 130 or was just checked suddenly before clothing arrives at the peak of cylinder 130, clothing drops to the minimum point of cylinder 130 from the peak of cylinder 130.

Particularly, in order to check suddenly cylinder 130, motor 140 provides opposing torque to cylinder 130.Check to generate opposing torque by the reverse phase that is configured to supply to motor 140 reverse phase electric current, as described in referring to Fig. 3 A (c).Reverse phase is checked as using along a kind of motor of the torque generating with respect to the opposite direction of motor direction of rotation and is checked.The phase place that is supplied to the electric current of motor can be inverted, and generates opposing torque with reverse rotation direction along motor, and reverse phase is checked to make to check suddenly and can be applied to motor.For example, as shown in drawings, electric current is supplied to motor to be rotated in a clockwise direction cylinder, and then electric current is supplied to motor with swing roller in the counterclockwise direction suddenly.

The timing point (timing point) of checking about the reverse phase of motor 140 can be closely related with the position of the clothing of cylinder 130 inside.Due to this reason, can be provided for determining or the device of prediction clothing position, and be configured to determine that the sensing apparatus (as hall effect sensor) of the anglec of rotation of rotor can be the example of this device.Control part can be by determine the anglec of rotation of cylinder with sensing apparatus, and in the time that cylinder has the anglec of rotation of 180 ° or just before cylinder has the anglec of rotation of 180 °, and motor 140 is controlled and checked for reverse phase.Result is that the cylinder being rotated in a clockwise direction stops fast in response to counter clockwise direction torque.The centrifugal force that is applied to clothing is removed, and then clothing drops to minimum point.

Thus, as shown in Fig. 4 (d), cylinder 130 continues rotation along clockwise direction, and the rotation of repetition clothing/drop.Although Fig. 4 illustrates cylinder and is rotated in a clockwise direction, but cylinder can rotate to implement step motion in the counterclockwise direction.Step motion generates relatively large load on motor 140, and the clean effect that can reduce step motion is than (net acting ratio).

Clean effect is than the ratio for the motor driving time of motor 140 and the aggregate value of driving time and dwell time.If clean effect, than for " 1 ", represents that the driving of motor does not have dwell time.Consider the load of motor, step motion is recently implemented in 70% the clean effect of can being about.For example, motor can stop 3 seconds having driven after 10 seconds.Other ratio and driving/dwell time can be also suitable.

Before the clothing falling arrives at cylinder minimum point,, in the time that clothing drops, cylinder 130 starts it and rotates to implement next step motion.In this case, cylinder 130 rotates to predetermined angle, and clothing arrives at the minimum point of cylinder 130 afterwards.From this point of view, clothing and cylinder can together with rotate.Although cylinder rotates to 180 ° as its setting, but clothing can not rotate to 180 ° (being the peak of cylinder 130), and it can not drop to obtain from peak the washability of expectation.

Due to this reason, cylinder 130 is controlled as rotation again as shown in Fig. 4 (d) after clothing arrives at the minimum point of cylinder., cylinder keeps static until clothing arrives at cylinder minimum point.Especially, in fact start the moment of dropping when clothing, generating stopping of cylinder 130.From the time point dropping until clothing arrives at the time point of cylinder minimum point, cylinder keeps stopping and not rotating.Dwell time can be greater than clothing and drop to minimum point (point 1) time used from the peak of cylinder.Result is, cylinder can keep stopping as 0.4 second, or is 0.6 second in some embodiment, to ensure having enough time in halted state.This allows and implements more accurately step motion to generate maximum impact, and can reach accordingly the washability of expectation.

Fig. 5 is the schematic diagram of washing motion more details by rubbing with the hands.

First, clothing moves to the position of arriving at after 90 ° or larger rotation along the clockwise direction of cylinder 130 from the minimum point of cylinder 130, as shown in Fig. 5 (a)-(c).As described in the static staving 120 with respect to adjacent with cylinder 130, the clothing in cylinder 130 moves to along the clockwise direction of cylinder 120 and rotates to 90 ° or the point of the interior cylinder surface of wide-angle more from the predetermined point of the interior cylinder surface adjacent with the minimum point of staving 120.In order to generate this motion of clothing, motor applies revolving force (being torque) along predetermined direction (clockwise) to cylinder 130, and then cylinder 130 rotates to promote clothing together with clothing.

By lifting member and with cylinder in the frictional force of perimeter surface, clothing rotates together with cylinder, with the interior perimeter surface close contact of cylinder 130, and does not separate from cylinder 130.For this reason, cylinder generates enough centrifugal force with about 60RPM or higher rotation, thereby clothing is not separated from cylinder 130.Consider cylinder sizes (as interior diameter), the rotary speed of cylinder can be set to and generate the large centrifugal force of force of gravity.Result is, clothing rotates to the position with respect to cylinder minimum point with 90 ° or larger rotation from the minimum point of cylinder together with cylinder.

Clothing then drops to minimum point from the position of 90 ° or larger rotation.For this of clothing drops, in the time that clothing arrives at the position of 90 ° or more swift rotation, cylinder 130 is checked suddenly.Motor 140 provides opposing torque to cylinder 130, to apply suddenly and to check to cylinder.As above, referring to as described in Fig. 3 A (e), opposing torque is for by being configured to be supplied to the reverse phase of motor 140 to check generated opposing torque in reverse phase electric current.

Control part can be by determining the anglec of rotation of cylinder with sensing apparatus as described above.Once the anglec of rotation of cylinder is 90 ° or larger, control part can be controlled motor 140 and check for reverse phase.Result is that the cylinder 130 being rotated in a clockwise direction is provided with torque in the counterclockwise direction, stops the rotation and removes the centrifugal force that imposes on clothing with instantaneous.As shown in Fig. 5 (c), clothing can vertically not drop by anticlockwise torque, but towards the oblique minimum point that drops to cylinder of interior perimeter surface of cylinder.Drop due to oblique, clothing can have relative a large amount of friction with the inner surface of cylinder in the process of dropping, and between many clothings and between clothing and washings, simultaneous friction can be relatively large.

Thus, as shown in Fig. 5 (d), cylinder 130 continues rotation in the counterclockwise direction, and can repeat the rotation of above-mentioned clothing/drop.Fig. 5 illustrates that cylinder is early rotated in a clockwise direction, but also can more early implement anticlockwise rotation.Wash by rubbing with the hands motion generation be applied to motor 140 compared with heavy load, similar with step motion, and the clean effect ratio of washing motion by rubbing with the hands can reduce, for example can repeat to stop 3 seconds washing by rubbing with the hands after motion, and the clean effect ratio of washing motion by rubbing with the hands can be controlled as 70%.Other layout can be also suitable.

Before the clothing falling arrives at cylinder minimum point,, in the time that clothing drops, cylinder 130 starts it and counter-rotates to implement next step motion.In this case, cylinder 130 rotates to predetermined angle, and clothing arrives at the minimum point of cylinder 130 afterwards.From this point of view, clothing and cylinder can together with rotate.Although drum rotating to 90 ° as its setting, but clothing can not rotate to 90 ° (they being the peak of cylinder 130), and it can not drop to obtain from peak the washability of expectation.

Due to this reason, cylinder 130 is rotation again as shown in Fig. 5 (d) after clothing arrives at the minimum point of cylinder., until clothing arrive at cylinder minimum point cylinder be controlled as keep static.Especially, in fact start the moment of dropping when clothing, generating stopping of cylinder 130.The time point dropping from clothing is until clothing arrives at the minimum point of cylinder, and cylinder remains on halted state and do not rotate.The time cycle of cylinder halted state can be greater than clothing and drop to the cylinder minimum point time used.Result is, the halted state that cylinder keeps can be set to as 0.2 second, and it is less than the halted state of step motion intermediate roll.

Owing to having set this halted state that cylinder keeps, so step motion can be implemented more accurately, to generate the maximum friction between the maximum friction between drum inner surface and clothing, maximum friction and clothing and the washings between many clothings, and can reach accordingly the washability of expectation.

Fig. 6 is by the washability of the each motion shown in Fig. 3 A and chart that level of vibration compares.Transverse axis performance washability, is easier to separate the contained dirty left side that moves on in clothing.The longitudinal axis has showed vibration or noise level, and moving up of higher level, is shortened for the wash time of identical clothing.

Step motion and wash motion by rubbing with the hands and be applicable to being embodied as when clothing has the serious washing course that shortens wash time when dirty.Step motion has high vibration/noise level with washing by rubbing with the hands to move, and is typically not used in washing delicate fabrics (sensitive fabric) and/or minimum noise and vibration.

Rolling movement has good washability and low level of vibration, has minimized clothing infringement and low motor load.Result is that rolling movement can be used in all washing courses, especially helps detergent dissolution and drenches clothing in the initial wash stage.

Rolling movement has than washing the low washability of motion by rubbing with the hands, and with wash motion by rubbing with the hands and compare with rolling movement and there is medium level of vibration.Rolling movement has lower level of vibration, but it has the wash time of growing than rolling movement.Due to this reason, rolling movement can be applicable to all washing courses, and can be effective to disperse equably clothing in washing course.

Compressional movement has the washability similar to rolling movement and the level of vibration higher than rolling movement.Compressional movement has repeated clothing drag to the interior perimeter surface of cylinder and separate the process of clothing from the interior perimeter surface of cylinder.In this process, washings are being discharged from cylinder through after clothing.Thereby compressional movement can be applicable to rinsing.

Filtering campaign has the washability lower than compressional movement, and has and the similar noise level of rolling movement.In filtering campaign, water is discharged through clothing and from cylinder, and the interior perimeter surface close contact of clothing and cylinder.Result is that filtering campaign can be applied to drenching the process of clothing.

Oscillating motion has minimum level of vibration and washability, and can be applied to low noise and low vibration washing course and for washing the process of rapid wear or fragile article.

As described above, each drum driven motion has advantages of himself, and preferably, these various drum driven motions are used for making advantage to maximize.Each drum driven motion also can have the merits and demerits relevant to laundry amounts.Even the in the situation that of same process and circulation, various drum driven motions also can be according to distinguishing application with the relation of laundry amounts.

The inside of the cylinder in drum-type washing machine can be visible from outside via door.Various drum driven motions can be implemented in washing course as described below.Result is that user can see the various drum driven motions at cylinder internal implementation., soft collision type washing (rolling movement), strong collision type washing (step motion), the soft type of washing by rubbing with the hands wash (rolling movement) and wash by force type washing (washing motion by rubbing with the hands) by rubbing with the hands and can visually identify.Due to this reason, user can feel that washing is well implemented, the detersive efficiency that this can produce the user satisfaction of raising and fully improve.

III. the process of washing machine

Various control methods now will be discussed, as the various processes of the washing machine in this concrete enforcement and wide in range description.

A. process A (standard process)

To process A be described referring to Fig. 7 A.Process A can be used for washing normal clothing and without any the standard process of auxiliary option.Process A comprises wash cycle, rinse cycle and spin (spinning) circulation.User can be from process selection portion 117 choice criteria process (S710).

A.1 wash cycle (S730):

Wash cycle comprises: water supply step (S733), and washings and washing agent are fed to staving 120 or cylinder 130 by it, with dissolving detergent in washings; And washing step (S742), be configured to head roll with washing clothes.In water supply step, water is fed to washing machine together with washing agent from outside watering.By improving the efficiency of water supply step in the preparation of washing step, also can realize the efficiency of the wash cycle that comprises detersive efficiency and wash time minimizing.

A.1.1 determine laundry amounts (S731):

As described above, in the time preparing main washing step, completed water supply step.Result is, detergent dissolution, clothing drench etc. and can implement fast and fully.But, consider the capacity of cylinder and be fed to the amount of washings of cylinder, can carry out index drum actuation movement according to the laundry amounts in water supply step intermediate roll., can the laundry amounts based in cylinder selecting can more efficient execution detergent dissolution and the clothing drum driven motion of drenching.

Can before water supply step, implement to be configured to determine the laundry amounts determining step of the laundry amounts of holding in cylinder.Based on determined laundry amounts, drum driven motion can be made differentiation in water supply step.

The electric current that can be used for head roll by measurement is determined laundry amounts.For example, can measure the electric current for implementing rolling movement.In order to implement rolling movement, control part is for example, to rotate with predetermined RPM (46RPM) by cylinder control.Can be according to the laundry amounts in cylinder and different with the required current value of this RPM head roll.Thereby, can be based on driving the required magnitude of current of specific roll to determine laundry amounts with specific RPM in special exercise.

If laundry amounts is relatively large, enough washings can be fed to clothing in the starting stage of water supply step, and the detersive efficiency of washing can further improve.Drum driven motion can be made differentiation according to the laundry amounts in water supply step, and the parameter of water supply step can suitably be determined.

A.1.2 supply water (S733):

A.1.2.1 types of detergents is determined (S734):

In the starting stage of water supply step, can implement types of detergents determining step, to determine that the washing agent of being supplied is liquid-type or powder-type during the starting stage of water supply step.Implement this step to determine drum driven motion or by the rinsing number of times in the rinse cycle of enforcement wash cycle after.In the initial operation of washing machine, the information relevant to wash cycle and rinse cycle can be obtained by user via display part 119.Due to this reason, types of detergents determining step can be implemented in the starting stage of water supply step, specifically before detergent dissolution promotes step.

A.1.2.2 detergent dissolution promotes (S735):

Owing to having supplied washings and washing agent in water supply step, thereby can implement detergent dissolution step.In order to improve the efficiency of wash cycle, can dissolve more completely and effectively at the starting stage of water supply step washing agent.Result is can in water supply step, implement detergent dissolution and promote step to promote detergent dissolution.

Motion, the clothing in traveling roller can be with the drum driven motion that promotes detergent dissolution the motion being configured to washings and the strong mechanical force of clothing supply.For example, can detergent dissolution promote in step to implement to be configured to along the cylinder of rotation repeatedly promote clothing and along with being applied to checking of cylinder from the drop step motion of clothing of the interior perimeter surface of cylinder.Alternately, can implement to be configured to promote clothing and move to replace step motion according to the clothing that drops checked and counter-rotate of cylinder again to promote washing by rubbing with the hands of clothing along the cylinder of rotation.Step motion and wash motion by rubbing with the hands and apply and check suddenly with the direction of motion of flip-flop clothing and thump be applied to the motion of clothing to the cylinder of rotation for being configured to.In addition, step motion is configured to also thump is applied to washings with washing by rubbing with the hands to move.Result is in the starting stage of water supply step, to provide strong mechanical force to promote detergent dissolution also to improve accordingly the efficiency of wash cycle.

In alternate embodiment, can implement detergent dissolution promotion step by repeating step motion and the combination according to the order of sequence of washing motion by rubbing with the hands.In this case, two kinds of drum driven motions are repeated combination, and the pattern of washing current can be more diversified to improve the efficiency of wash cycle.

Supply water in step typical case, will carry out head roll to promote and the clothing that drops with the rolling movement that continues at a predetermined velocity swing roller along predetermined direction.But, find to be used in rolling movement in washings the time of dissolving detergent can be greater than step motion wash motion by rubbing with the hands or its combination in the time used.For example, in the rolling movement of example washing machine, the time of dissolving detergent is about 15 minutes, however for use identical washing machine at step motion or in washing the washings of motion by rubbing with the hands the required time of dissolving detergent can be 9 to 10 minutes.Thereby, step motion or wash motion dissolving detergent in washings quickly by rubbing with the hands, and the corresponding time shorten of specific washing course.

In stepping with wash by rubbing with the hands in motion, in the rotation of cylinder and stopping generating strong whirlpool in washings, clothing drops and fall impacting is applied to clothing.

In addition, can promote the washings that in step, enforcement holds in being configured to circulate in staving and the circulation step that washings is fed to again to cylinder at detergent dissolution.In circulation step, the washings that hold below cylinder are supplied to cylinder inside, further promote detergent dissolution and clothing to drench.

In certain embodiments, detergent dissolution promotes step embodiment 2 minutes according to appointment, or other appropriate time amount, until supplied water.Promote in step to complete water supply at detergent dissolution, thereby or due to after clothing drench step middle water level and may reduce and can additionally supply water.Can implement detergent dissolution in short time relatively and promote step, damage with not appreciable impact clothes fabric.Result is that, according to the laundry amounts in cylinder, the drum driven motion in the detergent dissolution promotion step of each above-mentioned process can be washes motion by rubbing with the hands.

; because the drum driven motion that is configured to supply strong mechanical force can be more effectively for a small amount of clothing and because a small amount of clothing can keep fully contacting with washings; if thereby definite laundry amounts is predeterminated level or lower, can implements detergent dissolution and promote step.Especially, a small amount of clothing represents that the surface area of the clothing that need to contact with washings is less, and represents that mechanical force by applying in order to the clothing that rolls in short time relatively can be implemented detergent dissolution and clothing drenches.Result is, step motion or wash motion by rubbing with the hands and detersive efficiency can be improved and the time of wash time can shorten accordingly.

Otherwise, if determined laundry amounts is predeterminated level or higher in laundry amounts determining step, can skips detergent dissolution and promote step.That is, if laundry amounts is relatively large, the clothing that can not be fed to enough the clothing of winding/be wound due to washings absorbs, thus mechanical force deficiency so that clothing fully contact with washings.

Result is, if laundry amounts is predeterminated level or higher, omits detergent dissolution and promotes step and start immediately clothing to drench step.If laundry amounts is predeterminated level or higher, use the circulation step in water supply step, clothing can have better contact with washings, to promote detergent dissolution.

A.1.2.3 clothing drenches (S736):

Can in water supply step, implement fully to drench the step of clothing with washings, and be accompanied by the dissolving of washing agent.The in the situation that of drum-type washing machine, clothing does not need to be immersed in washings completely, thereby can drench by Rapid Implementation clothing in the starting stage of wash cycle.After detergent dissolution promotes step, can implement clothing and drench promotion step to promote that clothing drenches.Can after water supply step is implemented into predetermined extent or until water supply step completes, implement this step, to ensure that clothing fully soaks into.Alternately, can after completing water supply, implement detergent dissolution and promote step.Drench step middle water level at clothing and reduce, and can implement extra water supply.

Promote that at above-mentioned detergent dissolution in step, can partly implement clothing drenches step, and water level can be elevated to and is enough to allow that washings are collected in cylinder.Due to this reason, can after promoting step, implement detergent dissolution the step that promotes that clothing drenches.Promote the drum driven motion of step than detergent dissolution, clothing drench promotes that the drum driven of step is moved can difference control.For example, clothing drenches and promotes the drum driven motion of step can comprise rolling movement and/or filtering campaign.In certain embodiments, filtering campaign and rolling movement can be implemented according to the order of sequence.

Filtering campaign is the motion of extensive distribution clothing with expansion clothing surface area, thereby filtering campaign can be used for evenly drenching clothing.Rolling movement is that clothing repeats rolling to make to be contained in the washings of cylinder below and the motion of clothing even contact, and rolling movement also can be applicable to clothing and drenches.For these effects of utilizing as much as possible, the motion of different drum driven, repeat/implement according to the order of sequence filtering campaign with predesigned order and rolling movement maximizing clothing drenches the effect that promotes step.

If laundry amounts is predeterminated level or higher, clothing drenches and promotes the drum driven motion of step can comprise filtering campaign.That is, in filtering campaign, the surface area of clothing is extended, and in filtering campaign supplying washing water, and dispersed clothing and not being wound around, and washings are evenly fed to clothing.Alternately, or except filtering campaign, also can implement rolling movement.

If laundry amounts is less than predeterminated level, drenches and promote can adopt filtering and/or rolling movement during step at clothing.

User can select from option selection portion 118 the dirty level of clothing, and the clean effect beguine of motor is selected accordingly and makes differentiation.But, clean effect ratio in water supply step can not made differentiation according to selected dirty level, this is because the clean effect in water supply step is drenched than presetting to optimize detergent dissolution and clothing, and owing to can not ignoring the consideration of the unnecessary damage to clothing.If clean effect, than reducing, can not fully be implemented detergent dissolution and clothing drenches.

Water supply step in standard process can comprise that above-mentioned types of detergents determining step, detergent dissolution promote step and clothing to drench promotion step.In alternate embodiment, types of detergents determining step, detergent dissolution promotion step or clothing drench step and can be set to and supply water step independently.In this case, can after water supply completes, implement washing agent determining step, detergent dissolution promotion step or clothing and drench step.

A.1.3 heating (S740):

Wash cycle comprises washing step.In order to prepare washing, can between washing step and water supply step, implement heating steps.

The heater that heating steps can be configured to be arranged on by use staving below carrys out heated scrub water, or improves the temperature of washings or cylinder by the steam that use is fed to cylinder inside.Due to this reason, can implement on demand or omit heating steps.,, if carry out process clothes with cold air or water, can unreally execute heating steps.But, if because thereby the temperature of the default temperature washings relevant to selected process is predetermined to be higher than cold water temperature, if or from option selection portion 118, the temperature of washings is chosen as higher than cold water temperature, can implement heating steps.

Drum driven motion in heating steps can be made differentiation according to laundry amounts.Can in heating steps, implement rolling movement and not consider laundry amounts.But, as described above, if laundry amounts is predeterminated level or lower, can in heating steps, implement rolling movement.,, in the situation that clothing is relatively less, the comparable dispersion clothing of clothing that repeats to roll in cylinder bottom in heating and washing is more efficient.Alternately, in heating steps, for a small amount of clothing, can use the combination of rolling movement and rolling movement, and for a large amount of clothings, can use rolling movement.

Heating steps can comprise that being configured in water supply step prepares the heating preparation process of heating afterwards.This means and complete completing the clothing step that supplies water after drenching.Result is, after water supply step, can determine more accurately laundry amounts, and this is because the laundry amounts based on before drenching at clothing can not distinguish wet wash and drying thing.For example, before clothing drenches, the amount of wet wash may be confirmed as being greater than actual amount.Result is in certain embodiments, before washing, can implement more accurate laundry amounts determining step in heating steps.If omission heating steps, can implement and heat preparation process corresponding step to determine accurate laundry amounts.,, if omit heating steps, can after completing, water supply step implement accurate laundry amounts determining step before washing step.

A.1.4 washing (S742):

Once complete above-mentioned water supply step and heating steps, can implement to be configured to the washing step of washing clothes.The motion of drum driven in washing step can be the combination according to the order of sequence of stepping and/or rolling and/or rolling movement, to apply strong mechanical force and with various pattern motion clothings, thereby improves detersive efficiency.

Alternately, drum driven motion in washing step can be the combination according to the order of sequence of filtering campaign and rolling movement, to continue supplying washing water to clothing, thus the detersive efficiency that the mechanical force that improves the detersive efficiency that produces of washing agent and be applied to clothing produces.

Result is, the drum driven motion in washing step can be made differentiation according to laundry amounts, and this is can be according to laundry amounts and different because can generate the drum driven motion of best clean result.Laundry amounts can be determined laundry amounts before water supply step or in heating steps.In washing step, drum driven motion can be made differentiation according to determined laundry amounts after water supply step.

If laundry amounts is predeterminated level or higher, drum driven motion can comprise filtering campaign and/or rolling movement.Make washings circulation if washing machine is not provided as, only can implement rolling movement.The in the situation that of a large amount of clothing, washings can be supplied to clothing and mechanical force equably can be applied simultaneously clothing, to improve detersive efficiency.

If laundry amounts is predeterminated level or lower, drum driven motion can comprise that step motion and/or rolling movement are to improve detersive efficiency, and this is because clothing moves with various patterns, and mechanical force is applied to clothing.In certain embodiments, rolling movement also can be implemented together with step motion and/or rolling movement.

As described above, in standard process, the drum driven motion in water supply step, heating steps and washing step can be diversified, and the efficiency of wash cycle can improve accordingly.In addition, the drum driven motion in each step can be made differentiation according to the laundry amounts in cylinder, and can implement accordingly optimum wash cycle.

If user selects the dirty level of clothing from option selection portion 118, the clean effect ratio of heating steps and washing step can be made differentiation.If clean effect is unnecessarily higher than but in the situation that dirty level is relatively low, clothing will unnecessarily be damaged.

A.2 rinse cycle (S750):

To the control method of the rinse cycle in process A be described referring to Fig. 7 A.According to the present embodiment, can implement rinse cycle part as individual process together with above-mentioned wash cycle, or rinse cycle also can be implemented separately.Only, for the ease of for the purpose of discussing, will be described below the control method of the rinse cycle of implementing after the wash cycle mentioned in standard process.

A.2.1 rinsing for the first time (S751):

Once complete wash cycle, can carry out be configured to supply water and head roll with enforcement rinsing rinse step for the first time.

In standard process, can in each of wash cycle, rinse cycle and spinning cycle, implement one or more spin steps.For example, may be implemented in spin after wash cycle and the spin in rinse cycle.These spin steps can be called as " middle spin " (intermediate-spinning), to distinguish with the spinning cycle of last circulation as standard process.

Can determine spinning horizontal by the RPM based on cylinder.Typically, can implement middle spin to be about 200 to 400RPM, for example, in sensitive process (Sensitive Course), be about 400RPM, in weak process, be about 600RPM, in middle process, be about 800RPM, in strong process, be about 1000RPM.For the cylinder RPM of middle spin can be according to current operation parameter the lower resonant frequency based on operating period and high resonant frequency select.

Resonant frequency is the feature physical values of washing machine, and the vibration of washing machine sharply increases near resonant frequency.If cylinder rotates near resonant frequency and clothing is not uniformly dispersed, the vibration of washing machine is by very unexpected increase.Result is, if implement spin with the predetermined RPM higher than resonant frequency, clothing is untied step and will be typically implemented with dispersed clothing in cylinder, and senses vibration.If the vibration sensing is less than predetermined value, can implement accelerating step to depart from (out of) resonance bands.

Along with in rinse cycle, more times repeats to supply water and rinsing, thereby the required time of middle spin of implementing in rinse cycle will be longer.In order to solve the misgivings of remaining residual washing agent after washing completes, can in rinse cycle, implement rinse step at least three times or more times.The middle spin meeting of now implementing joins very large time quantum in rinse cycle, causes long rinse cycle.According to the present embodiment, in the middle of implementing in the process of water supply and rinsing, the RPM of spin can make differentiation., cylinder can be rotated with the predetermined RPM lower than lower resonant frequency in predetermined specific middle spin, and is rotated with the predetermined RPM higher than high resonant frequency in another predetermined specific middle spin.

When RPM with lower than lower resonant frequency implement specific in the middle of when spin, auxiliary clothing is untied step, vibratory output sensing step and needed time of accelerating step and be can be unnecessaryly, thereby has shortened potentially the required time of rinse cycle.In the middle of this, the RPM of spin can be set to approximately 100 to 110.Comparatively speaking, if implement specific middle spin with the RPM lower than lower resonant frequency, the required time of rinse cycle can shorten, but comprises that the washings of washing agent possibly cannot be discharged completely.

In washings after wash cycle, can find maximum dirty and washing agent residual.Due to this reason, after wash cycle, washings can be discharged as far as possible up hill and dale from clothing.

After wash cycle in standard process, can in the starting stage of rinse step for the first time, implement spin (S752) at a high speed.In spinning at a high speed, cylinder can rotate with the RPM higher than high resonant frequency, thereby the washings of maximum can be discharged from clothing.For example, this RPM can be set to about 1000RPM.The step that spins at a high speed can continue swing roller with (i.e. about 1000RPM) at a high speed, no matter and user's selection why, thereby make that washing agent is residual can discharge as far as possible up hill and dale before rinsing.

Once complete spin at a high speed, can implement drum driven step (S753) for the first time, with head roll after supplying water, thus rinsing clothes.Rinsing water level can be allows that water level passes through the visible relative high water level of door, thereby clothing is immersed in washings.Thereby, can supply the washings of huge amount with the starting stage rinsing clothes in rinse cycle.

Drum driven motion in drum driven step for the first time can be washes by rubbing with the hands and/or oscillating motion, with the mobile maximum laundry amounts being immersed in washings, thereby improves rinsing performance.This wash by rubbing with the hands with oscillating motion with in clothing is immersed in to washings after to continue to hand-launder the process of the clothing under washings corresponding.Rolling is corresponding with the process that clothing is repeatedly moved into and shifted out washings with step motion.Result is, for the first time drum driven step can by cylinder control for high water level to wash by rubbing with the hands and/or oscillating motion drives, allow that user visually identifies to have implemented abundant rinsing.In alternate embodiment, can in drum driven step for the first time, implement to be configured to the washings that are contained in staving to be recycled to the circulation step in cylinder.Washings are injected in cylinder with rinsing clothes.This process can be called as " injection rinsing ".Because it is visible by door, thereby this also shows and has implemented abundant rinsing to user.

Once complete drum driven step for the first time, can implement to discharge for the first time (draining) and middle spin step (S754).Between drainage period, can carry out head roll with stepping and/or rolling movement.Lifting and the clothing that drops are to improve detersive efficiency, and foam generated (bubble) is to improve rinse efficiency.Drum driven motion can be according to laundry amounts and difference.The in the situation that of a small amount of clothing, with step motion head roll with promote and drop between produce ultimate range.The in the situation that of a large amount of clothing, can rolling movement head roll.

In the middle of can arriving 110RPM enforcement with approximately 100 in discharge for the first time and centre spin, spin.So, can omit clothing and untie step, vibration-sensing step and accelerating step, and required time can significantly shorten.

In alternate embodiment, in the discharge for the first time in standard process and middle spin step, spin in the middle of can implementing with the approximately 400RPM higher than lower resonant frequency.In this case, in the time that water is discharged from and clothing fully disperses, can implement stepping and/or rolling movement.Due to this reason, can omit clothing and untie step.Even with the rotary speed higher than lower resonant frequency, spin in the middle of also can implementing in the short time, has vibration-sensing step and single accelerating step.Can with relatively high RPM implement this in the middle of spin to discharge, to fail the washing agent of discharging via the step that spins at a high speed residual and dirty.But, measured vibratory output exceeds outside permissible range in vibration-sensing step, thereby can repetitive vibrations sensing step fail to enter accelerating step, and rinsing time may adversely increase.Due to this reason, can implement vibration-sensing step with approximately 100 to 110RPM drum speed, and starting in the scheduled time of failing to implement in vibrating step in accelerating step, can finish to discharge for the first time and middle spin step.

A.2.2 rinsing for the second time (S756) and final rinsing (S760):

After rinse step (S756) can be followed for the first time rinse step for the second time.Rinse step can comprise drum driven step (S757) and discharge for the second time and middle spin step (S758) for the second time for the second time.Drum driven step can be identical with the above-mentioned step of drum driven for the first time essence for the second time.And discharging for the second time can be identical with middle spin step essence with discharge for the first time with middle spin step.But, discharge for the second time and middle spin step in implement with approximately 100 to 110RPM in the middle of spin to shorten rinsing time, this be due to spin at a high speed step and discharge for the first time and the middle step that spins in to have given off washing agent residual.

Rinse cycle can be used definite result of types of detergents determining step.

If washing agent is liquid-type, can residual relatively few washing agent, and can omit for the second time rinse step to shorten the required time of rinse cycle.If washing agent is powder-type, can gives tacit consent to and carry out rinse step and for the second time rinse step for the first time.

If washing agent is liquid-type, rinse step (S760) can be used as rinse step last rinsing step afterwards for the first time for the third time.If washing agent is powder-type, rinse step can be used as rinse step last rinsing step afterwards for the second time for the third time.But, when sense foam in rinse step for the third time time (at powder-type washing agent in the situation that), can carry out the 4th rinse step as last rinsing step.

The water level of last rinsing step (S760) can be relatively low water level.In the case of having the oblique-roller type washing machine of the cylinder tilting with predetermined angle, water level can be the predetermined water level that is enough to water to be only fed to the predetermined rear portion of oblique-roller., this water level can make it not be felt or see in washing machine outside.But this water level is pre the not any foam of regeneration in clothing.Even if foam generated, is also foam generated in staving instead of in cylinder, to prevent excessive accumulation (excess accumulation).Result is, user can visually be identified in does not have foam generated in last rinsing step, and can improve rinsing performance satisfaction.

Can the step of drum driven for the third time (S761) in last rinsing step implement afterwards to discharge for the third time step (S762), to implement spinning cycle.Can stepping and/or wash motion by rubbing with the hands and carry out head roll, to be uniformly distributed clothing in discharging step for the third time.

A.3 spinning cycle (S770):

By the control method of the spinning cycle referring in Fig. 7 A description standard process.Spinning cycle can be implemented with wash cycle part as standard process together with rinse cycle, or separately as individual process.Only, for the ease of for the purpose of discussing, will the control method of the spinning cycle of implementing after the composition wash cycle of standard process and rinse cycle be described.

A.3.1 clothing is untied (S771):

Spinning cycle can comprise that clothing unties step, is configured to by head roll with by the dispersed clothing clothing of untiing.The minimum vibration that spinning cycle is generated while being set to cylinder with High Rotation Speed.If with stepping and/or wash motion head roll by rubbing with the hands, clothing is probably by stepping and/or wash motion by rubbing with the hands and be unlock to predetermined extent in the proper discharge step before spinning cycle, and clothing is untied the required time of step and can significantly be shortened.

A.3.2 eccentricity (eccentricity) is measured (S773):

After clothing is untied step, can be by cylinder being accelerated measure during predetermined time cycle the amount with the eccentricity of the predetermined RPM swing roller lower than lower resonant frequency, and whether definite clothing is uniformly distributed in cylinder.

Can before untiing step, implement clothing according to the eccentricity measuring process of the spinning cycle in the standard process of another embodiment.Sizable amount that clothing is untied can be implemented by the drum driven motion of rinse cycle.Result is that spinning cycle can start to shorten from eccentricity measuring process the time of spinning cycle.If determine and eccentricity measured compared with eccentricity value satisfaction, can implement the acceleration that below will describe.If dissatisfied with eccentricity measured compared with eccentricity value, can implement clothing and untie step.Can untie in step and untie with promotion clothing with step motion head roll at clothing, and can restart eccentricity measuring process after clothing is untied step.

A.3.3 accelerate and normal spin (S775):

After eccentricity measuring process, can implement the step (accelerating step) to normal spin RPM by the Spin-up of cylinder.Afterwards, can implement to be configured to normally to spin the normal spin step of RPM swing roller to complete spinning cycle.The drum rotation speed of normal spin can be defaulted as about 1000RPM., can reduce as far as possible the moisture (moisture) comprising in clothing measures residual to minimize washing agent.Normally the RPM of spin can change according to user's selection, and this is due to the RPM of normal spin and completes spinning cycle residual moisture level and the fold Horizontal correlation of clothing afterwards.Result is that user can select the RPM with the moisture level of clothing and the normal spin step of fold Horizontal correlation.

B. process B (the dirty process of severe):

To the dirty process B of severe that remove severe dirt from clothing be described referring to Fig. 8.Can select the dirty process of severe (S810) at 117 places of process selection portion.

B.1 wash cycle (S830):

B.1.1 determine laundry amounts (S831):

Once select the dirty process of severe, can implement laundry amounts determining step to determine the laundry amounts being encased in cylinder.The method of determining laundry amounts can be similar with the above-mentioned method about standard process, thereby will omit accordingly it and be repeated in this description.Laundry amounts determining step can be implemented before process selection step.

Control part will be in laundry amounts determining step determined laundry amounts and reference value make comparisons, and based on the comparison output control hereinafter by the drum driven motion of the water supply step being described and washing step.In fact, the definite laundry amounts that is greater than reference value can be considered to heavy load, and the definite laundry amounts that is less than reference value can be considered to little load.By the drum driven motion of describing according to each step of determined laundry amounts.

B.1.2 supply water (S833):

In water supply step, the water supply installation (as water supply path and feed water valve) that control part control is connected with staving with watering is to be fed to staving by washings.If laundry amounts measured in laundry amounts determining step is less than reference value, control part can be by cylinder control for rolling movement and/or step motion and/or wash motion by rubbing with the hands and/or filtering campaign and/or rolling movement are driven.

First,, if the clothing being loaded in cylinder is wound around, the centrifugal rotation of cylinder will be generated, and control part can be by cylinder control for to be actuated to untie clothing with rolling movement in water supply step.In rolling movement, along predetermined direction swing roller, and clothing drops to the minimum point of cylinder from approximately 90 ° of the direction of rotation with respect to cylinder or larger position, thereby the clothing that makes to be wound around can be untied and be dispersed.

Control part is with step motion by cylinder control and/or washes motion rotation by rubbing with the hands, is encased in the clothing in cylinder thereby fall impacting is applied to.Can apply step motion and wash by rubbing with the hands successfully to remove insoluble dirty.Result is, once with step motion and/or wash motion head roll by rubbing with the hands, can remove insoluble dirtyly in water supply step, and can realize the wash time of shortening and the detersive efficiency of raising.

Washings are fed to staving by water supply step, and the clothing being encased in cylinder is drenched, as described above.Due to this reason, control part carrys out head roll with filtering campaign after can and/or washing motion by rubbing with the hands at step motion, drenches to carry out clothing.

In addition, except rolling movement, control part can be in water supply step with rolling movement head roll with dissolving detergent in washings, thereby before water supply step completes, in washings, drench clothing.

If laundry amounts is greater than reference value, in water supply step, control part can be by cylinder control for driving with rolling movement and/or filtering campaign.If laundry amounts is relatively large, be especially greater than reference value, be configured to may on motor, apply too many load by checking suddenly the drum movement (as step motion and/or wash motion by rubbing with the hands) that is applied to cylinder.By extending, can not reach the stepping that applies fall impacting and/or the original effect of washing motion by rubbing with the hands.Thereby, if a large amount of clothings are encased in cylinder, do not implement stepping and/or wash motion by rubbing with the hands.In addition, if a large amount of clothings are encased in cylinder, can not effectively realize and there is the clothing that the rolling movement of relatively low rotary speed generates and drench effect, can implement rolling movement and drench for clothing thereby be replaced by.Finally, if laundry amounts is greater than reference value, cylinder can rolling and/or filtering campaign drive, thereby can realize, above-mentioned clothing dispersion, insoluble dirty removal, clothing are drenched and the effect of detergent dissolution.

B.1.3 washing (S835):

After water supply step completes, can start the washing step of the dirty process of severe.The washing step of the dirty process of severe can comprise soaking step, dirty removal step and residual dirty removal step.In this case, can in each step, supply and there are the washings of different temperatures and can implement accordingly each step.

B.1.3.1 soak (S836):

Soaking step is in cold water, to soak clothing so that the process of the severe dirty loose (loosen) comprising in clothing.In soaking step, serviceability temperature is for example about the relatively cold water of 15 DEG C, so that it is loose to be attached to for a long time dirty middle the comprised protein component of the severe of clothing.If these protein components contact with the water of heating, these severes are dirty trends towards solidifying regularly and being difficult in clothing they are separated from clothing.Due to this reason, can use cold water to implement soaking step, to prevent from having dirty being fixed on clothing of severe of protein component.

If laundry amounts is less than predetermined value, motor can carry out head roll by step motion.Can after step motion, add rolling movement and/or rolling movement.Because step motion has fabulous washability and the wash time of shortening, thereby can soak, to be attached to the severe of clothing dirty and clothing is applied to impact.Result is, step motion has and makes to separate the dirty effect of severe from clothing.

If laundry amounts is greater than reference value, can in soaking step, carry out head roll with rolling movement and/or rolling movement.That is, if measured laundry amounts is greater than predetermined reference value, thereby due to the excessive load that is applied to motor can not implemented to step motion.As described above, step motion is applied to clothing in cylinder to improve detersive efficiency by fall impacting.But, if laundry amounts is large, can not implement step motion.In the time that laundry amounts is greater than reference value, in the dirty removal that below will describe and residual dirty removal step, do not implement step motion yet.

B.1.3.2 dirty removal (S837):

After soaking step, can start to be configured to washings are heated to the scope of 35 DEG C to 40 DEG C to remove the dirty dirty removal step of severe.The temperature of the washings that use in dirty removal step is set between 35 DEG C to 40 DEG C, and this is owing to can more easily removing dirty middle the comprised sebum of severe (sebum) composition with the similar temperature of human body temperature.Set heater or be configured to the moisture (as steam) of heating to be supplied to the moisture feeding mechanism of staving to can be used for the temperature of washings to bring up in preset range in staving basal surface.

In dirty removal step, if laundry amounts is reference value or lower, control part can be controlled motor with rolling movement and/or rolling movement head roll.Rolling movement and/or rolling movement can be applied on motor by low load and shorten wash time, have high detersive efficiency.Due to this reason, can realize the wash time of shortening.

If laundry amounts is greater than reference value, control part can be to drive with rolling movement by cylinder control.The in the situation that of a large amount of clothing, being configured to the rolling movement of relative low speed rotation cylinder may not be effectively in dirty removal, thereby can apply rolling movement.

B.1.3.3 residual dirty removal (S838):

After dirty removal step, control part can be implemented to be configured to washings to be heated to the residual dirty removal step that has the temperature of approximately 60 DEG C and clothing is carried out to sterilization (sterilize) and bleaching.In residual dirty removal step, the temperature of washings is about 60 DEG C or higher, so that clothing is carried out to sterilization and bleaching.

In residual dirty removal step, if laundry amounts is less than reference value, control part can be to drive with step motion cylinder control, or drives with the order of step motion and/or rolling movement and/or rolling movement.

In residual dirty removal step, if laundry amounts is greater than reference value, control part can be to drive with filtering campaign and/or rolling movement cylinder control.

B.2 rinse cycle (S850):

The rinse cycle of the dirty process of severe can be similar with the rinse cycle of the rinse cycle of above-mentioned standard process and other process will be described below.Thereby, will omit being repeated in this description rinse cycle.

B.3 spinning cycle (S870):

The spinning cycle of the dirty process of severe can be similar with the spinning cycle of the spinning cycle of above-mentioned standard process and other process will be described below.Thereby, will omit being repeated in this description spinning cycle.

C. process C (fast boiling process):

To process C be described referring to Fig. 9.Process C can be called as " fast boiling process ", and it is configured to for example in health (sanitization) circulation, in the relatively short time, washings are heated to predetermined temperature to reach the effect that clothing is wholesomely seethed with excitement.

Generally, when to clothes sterilizing and bleaching, the washings that hold in staving are heated to default " design temperature ", then implement washing.Because wash time is relatively long and only heating has just consumed considerable electric power to washings, with a lot of electric power, the washings that hold in staving are heated to preset temperature thereby used for a long time.In fast boiling process, clothes sterilizing and bleaching also can be reduced to total wash time and power consumption simultaneously.Fast boiling process heats the washings that are fed to staving in preset time period, no matter and the temperature of washings is how many, replace heated scrub water until washings reach preset temperature.In order to include washability in consideration, the step that compensates the washing step time set in fast boiling process according to the temperature of washings can be included in this washing course, as will be described referring to Fig. 9.

First, user can select fast boiling process (S910) from process selection portion 117.Then, control part is implemented the step of the washing step time of setting fast boiling process.This wash time is set step and is allowed that control part determines the required time of washing step of fast boiling process, and it is stored in storage device (as memory).This step can be implemented with process selection step or water supply step simultaneously.

C.1 wash cycle (S930):

C.1.1 determine laundry amounts and wash time setting (S931):

Once user has selected fast boiling process, control part can be implemented to be configured to measure the laundry amounts determining step of laundry amounts and be configured to set based on determined laundry amounts the wash time setting step of the washing step required time of fast boiling process.As described above, control part can be with the time used to precalculated position drum rotating is determined to laundry amounts, or use by drum rotating the time of the residual rotation after the scheduled time.

Set in step in wash time, control part can be from being stored in the selection wash time corresponding with measured laundry amounts in the applicable time memory.The required various times of washing step of fast boiling process are stored in storage device (as memory), thereby in the time selecting fast boiling process, can be chosen in the applicable time of storing in memory by control part.

C.1.2 supply water (S933):

The wash cycle of fast boiling process can comprise the water supply step that is configured to washings to be fed to staving.In water supply step, the water supply installation (as water supply path and feed water valve) that control part control is connected with staving with watering is to be fed to staving by water.In addition, control part is to move to drive with drum driven like the drum driven motion class of for example water supply step of the dirty process of above-mentioned severe by cylinder control, thereby will omit further specification specified.

C.1.3 temperature measurement step/compensation (S935):

Once water is fed to staving, control part uses and is arranged on the temperature of the temperature sensor measurement washings in washing machine, and measured temperature and reference temperature is made comparisons to regulate the time of washing step.

For example, control part can be made comparisons measurement temperature and the reference temperature of washings, and this reference temperature is for example higher than approximately 50 DEG C.If measure temperature higher than reference temperature, if for example the water of heating is supplied to staving, control part can be implemented washing step at once.But if measure temperature lower than reference temperature, control part can implement to be configured to the compensation process of the time that regulates washing step.

As described above, can washings be heated to predetermined period of time in this process and implement washing step afterwards, no matter and water temperature is how many.Due to this reason, the temperature of the washings that hold in staving can be according to being fed to the temperature of water of staving after completing at heating steps and is different, therefore there are differences in washability due to the difference of water temperature.Result is that compensation process is set to the difference after heating steps with the caused washability of washings of different temperatures to minimize.If the washability of the time that the temperature of washings lower than reference temperature, increases washing step during with compensate for slower low temperature.

The quantity that is used for the reference temperature of limiting temperature scope can be properly adjusted.For example, in one embodiment, single reference temperature can be set, and in alternate embodiment, multiple reference temperatures can be set.When the temperature of washings is higher than the first reference temperature (as 50 DEG C) and while having three reference temperatures (be provided with first, second and the 3rd reference temperature), control part can be implemented washing step immediately.When the measurement temperature of washings is during lower than the first reference temperature and higher than the second reference temperature (the second reference temperature (as 40 DEG C) is lower than the first reference temperature (as 50 DEG C)), and in the time measuring temperature lower than the second reference temperature and higher than the 3rd reference temperature (the 3rd reference temperature (as 30 DEG C) is lower than the second reference temperature (as 40 DEG C)), and in the time measuring temperature lower than the 3rd reference temperature, carry out and be configured to compensate the compensation process of setting the washing step time default in step in wash time.

In the time compensating the time of washing step, control part can will be controlled as difference according to the temperature of washings the make-up time.Washability is substantially proportional with the temperature of washings.Due to this reason, the measurement temperature of washings is lower, and the make-up time is longer.Capacity that can be based on washing machine and other this type of because of the scope of time of increasing in usually preset reference temperature and compensation process.

C.1.4 heating (S937):

Once compensate the Preset Time of washing step in compensation process, can predetermined time cycle have implemented to be configured to remove by drum movement the heating steps of dirty and while heated scrub water contained in clothing.Heating steps can be implemented as independent process, or a part for the washing step that below will describe.Only for the ease of discuss for the purpose of, this process describe in, heating steps will be described to a part for washing step.

C.1.5 washing (S939):

The drum driven motion of the washing step of fast boiling process can comprise step motion and/or rolling movement and/or rolling movement.

Step motion has outstanding washability and impact is applied to clothing, thus make to be attached to clothing dirty can be separated and wash time can shorten.Result is that, in the starting stage of washing step, control part can carry out swing roller by step motion.In this case, can after the step motion of washing step, implement heating steps.

In step motion, the predetermined speed rotation that cylinder does not drop from perimeter surface in cylinder due to centrifugal force to allow clothing.Near clothing is positioned at cylinder peak time, opposing torque is applied to cylinder.Because the clean effect ratio of step motion is conditioned, in step motion, compare in other motion large thereby be applied to loading on of motor.Due to this reason, continue during step motion if be configured to the heating steps of heated scrub water, thereby because the magnitude of current increases power consumption by increase and may produce safety problem.Result is that heating steps can be implemented the scheduled time after step motion completes.

Heating steps is configured such that heater is not driven default cycle heat time heating time, and is not must be until the temperature of washings reaches preset value.This allows time that washing step is required and electric power by Accurate Prediction and allows that user is informed to the data of being predicted.In addition, washing step can only be implemented at the identical Preset Time of essence, no matter and be how many in the temperature of the washings of washing step supply, thereby can reduce power consumption and wash time.

Thereby control part can be controlled the enforcement of rolling movement and/or rolling movement.In this case, rolling movement and/or rolling movement can be implemented with the beginning of heating steps simultaneously.Rolling movement and rolling movement apply low load and have good washability to motor, and have shortened wash time.Result is, shortens the effect of the required wash time of washing step and has the effect also can in the washing step that the washings of different temperatures implement with applicable washability in use even if rolling movement and rolling movement can be realized.

C.2 rinse cycle (S950):

The rinse cycle of fast boiling process can be similar with the rinse cycle of the rinse cycle of above-mentioned process and other process will be described below.Thereby, will omit its further specification specified.

C.3 spinning cycle (S970):

The spinning cycle of fast boiling process can be similar with the spinning cycle of the spinning cycle of above-mentioned process and other process will be described below.Thereby, will omit its further specification specified.

D. process D (cold wash process):

To cold wash process D be described referring to Figure 10.Cold wash process D is configured to the washing clothes without heated scrub water, energy saving is provided and do not make to expect washability degenerate.Result is, this process has been measured the temperature of the washings that are supplied to staving, measured temperature is compared with preset temperature, and adjustment operation parameter accordingly, make it possible to keep washability.For example, if the temperature of result washings does not reach reference temperature based on the comparison, in cold wash process, fully compensate wash time so that target washability to be provided.

First, user can select cold wash process (S1010) from process selection portion 117.Once user has selected cold wash process, control part just can be implemented wash cycle, rinse cycle and/or spinning cycle according to the order of sequence or optionally.

D.1 wash cycle (the first embodiment) is (S1030):

D.1. determine laundry amounts/wash time setting (S1031):

Once user has selected cold wash process, control part can be implemented to be configured to measure the laundry amounts determining step of laundry amounts and be configured to set based on measured laundry amounts the wash time setting step of the washing step required time of cold wash process.In laundry amounts determining step, control part can be with measuring laundry amounts by time used to precalculated position drum rotating or the residual rotation time of cylinder, as described above.Set in step in wash time, in the applicable time that control part can be stored according to laundry amounts from memory, select the wash time corresponding with measured laundry amounts.

D.1.2 supply water (S1033):

The wash cycle of cold wash process can comprise the water supply step that is configured to washings to be supplied to staving.In water supply step, the water supply installation (as water supply path and feed water valve) that control part control is connected with staving with watering is to be fed to staving by water.In addition, control part is to drive with drum driven motion like the drum driven motion class of the water supply step of the dirty process of above-mentioned severe or fast boiling process by cylinder control.Thereby, will omit its further specification specified.

D.1.3 temperature measurement/wash time compensation (S1035):

Once washings are fed to staving, control part can be by the temperature that is arranged on temperature measuring equipment in washing machine and measures washings.Control part can be made comparisons measured temperature and reference temperature (as 15 DEG C).If the measurement temperature of washings is reference temperature or higher, control part can be implemented washing step and not compensate wash time according to laundry amounts.If measure temperature lower than reference temperature, control part can be implemented wash time compensation process.In this example, present the temperature of " 15 DEG C " as the example that can ensure the reference temperature that the critical-temperature of washability and the washability of use cold water are tested in cold wash.Result is, if the measurement temperature of washings lower than reference temperature, control part is adjustable sets time of the washing step setting in step in wash time.For example, if measure temperature lower than reference temperature, control part can join the scheduled time in time of washing step to prevent that washability is because the serviceability temperature cold washings lower than reference value are degenerated.For example,, if the measurement temperature of washings, lower than approximately 10 DEG C, can will join in the time of washing step in wash time compensation process for 10 minutes.For example, if measure temperature higher than 10 DEG C and lower than 15 DEG C, can will within 5 minutes, join in the time of washing step.

D.1.4 washing (S1037):

Once compensated the time of washing step, by laundry amounts measured in above-mentioned laundry amounts determining step with make comparisons with reference to clothing value, and can implement to comprise the washing step of the different drum driven motion of implementing according to laundry amounts.Consider the output of cylinder sizes and motor, can the laundry amounts based on allowing execution step motion carry out preset reference clothing value.For example, can be the half (being about 5-6Kg in the washing machine with 11Kg capacity) of the value of the washing capacity of washing machine with reference to clothing value.Being less than the situation with reference to clothing value by first describing measured clothing value, is then reference value or larger situation by describing measured value.

In the time that measured clothing value is less than with reference to clothing value, control part control to implement step motion and/or rolling movement and/or rolling movement in washing step.Even use cold water, step motion also can be applied to fall impacting the clothing packing in cylinder and can easily remove comprise in clothing dirty.If clothing is wound around during washing step, can generate the eccentric rotary of cylinder.Thereby, control part with rolling movement and/or rolling movement head roll to untie and to disperse the clothing being wound around.

When measured clothing value is reference value or when larger, control part controls to implement filtering campaign and/or rolling movement in washing step.If laundry amounts is reference value or larger, large useful load make to be difficult to reach impact is applied to the effect of clothing in step motion and in rolling movement along the effect of the interior perimeter surface rolling clothing of cylinder.Due to this reason, can implement separately or in order filtering campaign and rolling movement, ensure the effect of washability and the effect that clothing disperses to realize.

D.1 ' wash cycle (the second embodiment) is (S1130):

Figure 11 is according to the schematic diagram of the cold wash process of the second embodiment as wide in range description herein.

Compare with the cold wash process according to the first embodiment, omitted wash time according to the cold wash process of the second embodiment and set step and compensation process, if temperature that the substitute is washings, lower than 15 DEG C, is used heater heated scrub water., according in the wash cycle of the second embodiment, determine laundry amounts (S1131) and can implement immediately to supply water step (S1133) and not set wash time.Afterwards, the temperature (S1135) of measuring washings is to implement washing step (S1137).According to the second embodiment, can make differentiation according to laundry amounts in the drum driven motion of washing step intermediate roll, this and above-mentioned the first embodiment are similar.Measurement temperature according to the washing step of the second embodiment based on washings and also can comprise heating steps.

To be described in laundry amounts measured in washing step and be less than the situation of reference value, the drum driven motion of its intermediate roll comprises step motion and/or rolling movement and/or rolling movement.

In the time that the measurement temperature of washings is less than reference value, after starting, implements washing step step motion.After step motion, can implement to be configured to use the heater that is arranged in staving or the heating steps of moisture feeding mechanism heated scrub water.After step motion, start heating steps, this is because step motion has applied to motor the load increasing, as described above.Thereby, if implement heating steps and step motion simultaneously, may produce safety problem and washability and degenerate.In addition,, if implemented heating steps to avoid the problems referred to above before step motion, will adversely increase wash time.Thereby, in the present embodiment, after completing step motion, start heating steps.

In the moment that starts heating steps, control part can be implemented rolling movement and rolling movement according to the order of sequence.Even if rolling movement is implemented together with heating steps with rolling movement simultaneously, these two motions do not relate to the degeneration of washability and the degeneration of security yet, and can shorten wash time.

After heating steps, remeasure the temperature of washings, and determine whether the temperature remeasuring reaches reference temperature.In the time that the temperature of washings reaches reference temperature, can complete heating steps.But, if the temperature of washings does not reach reference temperature, during washing step, can proceed heating steps.That is to say, even if the temperature of the washings that heat does not reach reference temperature, so also completed heating steps if completed washing step in heating steps.

If measured temperature is reference temperature or higher, control part to be to carry out head roll in fact with according to the identical step motion of the description of the drum driven motion of the first embodiment and/or rolling movement and/or rolling movement, thereby omits it is further described accordingly.

If laundry amounts is reference value or higher in washing step, control part can be with filtering campaign and/or rolling movement head roll.Now, be less than reference temperature heating steps can be provided in the measurement temperature of washings.As described above, during heating steps, do not carry out head roll with step motion.

D.1 " wash cycle (the 3rd embodiment) is (S1230):

Figure 12 is according to the schematic diagram of the cold wash process of the 3rd embodiment as wide in range description herein.

Compare with the cold wash process according to above-mentioned the first embodiment, if the temperature of the washings of supplying in water supply step, lower than approximately 15 DEG C, is supplied warm water (warm water) according to the cold wash process of the 3rd embodiment to staving.That is, determining laundry amounts (S1231) afterwards, control part can implement to be configured to based on determined laundry amounts, washings are fed to the water supply step (S1233) of staving, has omitted wash time setting-up time and compensation process.

In implementing water supply step, control part to staving (1234), and can be implemented temperature measurement step (S1235) and cold feed by cold feed simultaneously.In this case, when the measurement temperature of washings is 15 DEG C or when higher, can implement washing step (S1240) according to the laundry amounts being encased in cylinder.If measured temperature lower than 15 DEG C, can be implemented warm water supply step (S1236).

Can continue to supply water step until the cool water quantity of supplying in water supply step and warm water amount reach according to the determined washing water yield of laundry amounts.Once complete water supply step, the washing step that can start to implement according to laundry amounts.Drum driven motion can be made differentiation according to the laundry amounts in washing step, similar with above-mentioned the first embodiment, thereby omission is further described in detail it.

D.2 rinse cycle (S1050, S1150, S1250):

The rinse cycle of cold wash process can be similar with the rinse cycle of the rinse cycle of above-mentioned process and other process will be described below.Thereby, will omit its further specification specified.

D.3 spinning cycle (S1070, S1170, S1270):

The spinning cycle of cold wash process can be similar with the spinning cycle of the spinning cycle of above-mentioned process and other process will be described below.Thereby, will omit its further specification specified.

E. process E (colour clothes process (COLOR ITEM COURSE))

With reference to Figure 13, process E is described.Process E can be called as " the colour clothes process " of washing colored clothing more efficiently that be configured to.In the time of washing colored clothing, possible generation meeting generates the mobile color transfer problem of color between many colour clothes, fade, fluff (lint) problem and balling-up (pilling) problem.Because the static friction between cylinder and clothing is larger, thereby probably produce above-mentioned color transfer.This process can comprise be configured to prevent by controlling the temperature of washings color transfer temperature controlling step, be configured to head roll to prevent colour clothes washing step and the rinse step of fluffing and balling-up.As mentioned below, will describe these steps in detail.

E.1 wash cycle (the first embodiment) is (S1330):

E.1.1 supply water (S1331):

In water supply step, control part control cold water is supplied to staving.In higher temperature washings, more likely produce color transfer.In water supply step, control part can be by Electric Machine Control for combining head roll with oscillating motion or filtering campaign or its.Water supply step can be set to washings required washing clothes are fed to staving and the clothing being encased in cylinder is drenched in washings.Result is with filtering campaign head roll, to drench thereby can effectively implement clothing in water supply step.In addition, can be with oscillating motion head roll in water supply step, instead of with filtering campaign.Oscillating motion can minimize the motion of the clothing in cylinder compared with other motion, may be by the fluffing that frictional force was generated and balling-up between many clothings to minimize.

E.1.2 temperature measurement step/heating (S1333):

Once complete water supply step, control part can be measured the temperature of the washings that are supplied to staving.In the time that measured temperature is reference temperature or higher (as 30 DEG C or 40 DEG C), control part can start washing step immediately.When measured temperature is during lower than reference temperature (as cold water, because the washings of supplying in water supply step are cold water), control part can start to be configured to the heating steps of heated scrub water.In certain embodiments, the temperature (reference temperature) of allowing the washings that washing step starts can be set to 30 DEG C or 40 DEG C, and this is owing to can maximizing the temperature of washing water of washability, simultaneous minimization color transfer and be in the scope of 30 DEG C to 40 DEG C.

Heating steps heats with the generation device of steam that is arranged on the heater in staving lower surface or is configured to supply steam to staving the washings that are supplied to staving.

E.1.3 washing (S1335):

In the time that heating steps makes the temperature of washings can reach reference temperature (30 DEG C or 40 DEG C), control part can start washing step.In washing step, control part can be expected the drum driven motion of washability and be driven to prevent fluffing and balling-up realization can minimize mechanical friction power by index drum.For example, in the washing step of this process, control part can be by cylinder control for to be driven with oscillating motion and/or step motion.Can implement according to the order of sequence this step motion and oscillating motion, and can repeat to implement according to the order of sequence.

Oscillating motion is along two opposite direction swing rollers, and from approximately 90 ° of the direction of rotation with respect to cylinder or more low-angle position, clothing dropped.Oscillating motion applies rheostat to motor and checks, and this is because the physical friction that is applied to clothing can reduce as much as possible, keeps the detersive efficiency of predeterminated level simultaneously.Result is that the fluffing generating by the friction between many clothings or between clothing and cylinder and the possibility of balling-up can be minimized.

As described above, step motion is to allow the clothing predetermined speed swing roller that the interior perimeter surface from cylinder does not drop due to centrifugal force, and then it applies and check that suddenly the impact that is applied to clothing is maximized to cylinder.Due to this reason, step motion has outstanding washability, and is enough to compensate the deficiency of oscillating motion washability.The time quantum that the comparable oscillating motion of time quantum that step motion is carried out is carried out is short, to minimize the possibility of fluffing and balling-up.

E.1 ' wash cycle (the second embodiment) is (S1430):

Figure 14 is according to the schematic diagram of the colour clothes process of the second embodiment.Different from the above-mentioned process according to the first embodiment, allow and in water supply step (S1431) washing step (S1433) afterwards, implement temperature measurement step and heating steps according to the colour clothes process of the second embodiment.If implemented temperature measurement step and heating steps before washing step, will adversely increase wash time.Result is that the present embodiment proposes can shorten the colour clothes process of wash time compared with above-described embodiment.

In water supply step (S1431) afterwards, control part can be by cylinder control for to be driven with step motion and/or oscillating motion in washing step, and whether its temperature that can simultaneously determine washings is reference temperature (as 30 DEG C or 40 DEG C) or higher.Based on definite result when the temperature of washings be reference temperature or when higher, control part by cylinder control for along with washing step is continued to drive.When the temperature of washings is during lower than reference temperature, control part can start to be configured to the heating steps of heated scrub water.

Control part can be by cylinder control for not driven with step motion in heating steps.That is, in heating steps, control part is with oscillating motion head roll, instead of with step motion.In above-mentioned process, describe the reason that heating steps is not implemented together with step motion simultaneously, thereby omission has further been described in detail it.

E.2 rinse cycle (S1450):

Control part can start rinse cycle after wash cycle completes.Control part can be by cylinder control for to be driven with filtering campaign during rinse cycle.Filtering campaign, to allow the clothing predetermined speed swing roller that the interior perimeter surface from cylinder does not drop due to centrifugal force, is then ejected into washings in cylinder, thereby can apply filtering campaign to drench or rinsing clothes.In addition, filtering campaign can generate little friction (little friction) between many clothings and between clothing and cylinder.Due to this reason, filtering campaign allow clothing within short time relatively by rinsing.Control part can be implemented rolling movement to supplement the rinsing ability of filtering campaign in rinse cycle.

E.3 spinning cycle (S1470):

After completing rinse cycle, can start to be configured to remove from clothing the spinning cycle of washings.The spinning cycle of colour clothes process can be similar with the spinning cycle of the spinning cycle of above-mentioned process and other process will be described below, thereby by the further specification specified of omitting it.

F. process F (functional clothing process)

To process F be described referring to Figure 15.Process F can be called as " functional clothing process ", and it is configured to washing function clothes (comprising outdoor clothes (as anorak) and other sportswear) effectively, and there is no fabric damage.Functional clothing is manufactured to and is suitable for outdoor exercises, as mountain-climbing, swimming, by bike etc.The quick absorbing sweat of functional clothing also emits absorbed moisture, and they help to keep body heat.But these functional clothings are made up of thin synthetic fiber (synthetic fabric), and more fragile than the fabric of other kind.Can be optimised for and be suitable for functional clothing for the washing course of functional clothing.

First, user can be from process selection portion 117 selection function clothes processes (S1510).Once user has selected functional clothing process, control part can start wash cycle, rinse cycle and/or spinning cycle in order or optionally.

F.1 wash cycle (S1530):

F.1.1 supply water (S1531):

Control part is implemented the water supply step of wash cycle.Water supply step is in requisition for being used for the washings of washing clothes.In addition the dissolving detergent drench the clothing being encased in cylinder in supplied washings of water supply step.

F.1.1.1 supply water for the first time (S1533):

Water supply step is included in the water supply step for the first time of implementing during predetermined period of time.Supplying water in step for the first time, cylinder can be driven with oscillating motion.As described above, oscillating motion is alternately along predetermined direction and opposite direction swing roller.From cylinder minimum point along predetermined direction and opposite direction rotate to 90 ° or more after low-angle, clothing can drop.Result is, clockwise/anticlockwise being alternately rotated in generates whirlpool and can promote detergent dissolution in washings.Meanwhile, rotate to 90 ° or more low-angle clothing and drop, and large impact is applied to clothing.Due to this reason, the oscillating motion of supplying water for the first time in step allows that washing agent dissolves in washings, and large impact is not applied to functional clothing.Can during predetermined time cycle, repeat oscillating motion for several times.

F.1.1.2 supply water for the second time (S1535):

Supply water once complete for the first time, can predetermined time cycle implement to supply water for the second time.In supplying water for the second time, continue supplying washing water and implement according to the order of sequence filtering campaign and oscillating motion.Can divide supply water for the first time step and the step that supplies water for the second time according to Preset Time.Can regulate according to laundry amounts and other suitable parameter the time of each step.For this reason, the laundry amounts determining step that is configured to determine laundry amounts can be set before water supply step.

As described above, filtering campaign with High Rotation Speed cylinder with generate centrifugal force, and the interior perimeter surface of clothing and cylinder due to centrifugal force close contact.In addition, washings are because centrifugal force passes the through hole of clothing and cylinder and is discharged into staving.Result is that clothing is washed water and drenches to be washed in filtering campaign.In addition, washings are only through clothing, and functional clothing can be not damaged when being to be drenched in washings.After having implemented filtering campaign predetermined period of time, can implement oscillating motion.As described above, sustainable dissolving detergent, and can not damage functional clothing.Clothing passes through generated whirlpool and can in washings, effectively be drenched by extending, and oscillating motion generates along clockwise/counter clockwise direction the drum rotating repeating.Due to this reason, the clothing of winding can be untied before washing.In addition, oscillating motion makes clothing drop from relatively low position, thereby when clothing is untied, can minimize the fabric damage of clothing.Result is, the combination of filtering campaign and oscillating motion can minimize the damage of functional clothing, and can effectively realize that clothing drenches, detergent dissolution and clothing untie.The combination according to the order of sequence of this filtering campaign and oscillating motion can predetermined time cycle repeat for several times.

F.1.2 washing (S1540):

Once washings are supplied to predetermined water level, complete water supply step, then can start washing step.Because functional clothing is relatively frivolous, thereby can implement identical washing step in fact, no matter and laundry amounts in cylinder has how many.

F.1.2.1. washing (S1541) for the first time:

Washing step can be included in the washing step for the first time that predetermined period of time is implemented, and its intermediate roll is driven with step motion.As described above, step motion makes clothing drop from extreme higher position.Result is that the step motion in washing step has mixed clothing preliminary mixed washings equably for the first time.In addition, step motion soaks clothing dirty and impact is applied to clothing, with by use clothing large rotation/dropping separates from clothing dirty.

F.1.2.2. washing (S1543) for the second time:

After washing step for the first time, can predetermined time cycle implement washing step for the second time.In washing step for the second time, heated scrub water is with more effective washing and remove dirty.First, can carry out heated scrub water by the generation device of steam that is arranged on the heater of staving basal surface or is configured to supply steam to staving.Substantially, in washing step for the second time, washings can be heated to approximately 25 DEG C to 30 DEG C, are preferably about 27 DEG C.Functional clothing is made up of thin synthetic fiber quality, and if they can be damaged for the excess Temperature of the washings of heating.Result is, the washings with applicable temperature that use in washing step for the second time can improve detersive efficiency and can prevent fabric damage.

With heated scrub water simultaneously, can be driven with oscillating motion at washing step intermediate roll for the second time.Oscillating motion is used clothing from dropping of the position relative to low and alternately rotating of cylinder.Due to this reason, clothing can softly be swung and be fully mobile in washings.In oscillating motion, washings can be in short time relatively by homogeneous heating, and heat can be fully delivered to clothing.In addition, oscillating motion can be generated and impacted and generate fall impacting by the friction between washings and clothing, and it can effectively be removed dirty and there is no a fabric damage.

F.1.2.3. washing (S1545) for the third time:

After washing step for the second time, can predetermined time cycle implement washing step for the third time.In washing step for the third time, can remove residual dirty and can implement the combination of oscillating motion and step motion arbitrarily.Although oscillating motion can be removed dirty and be there is no fabric damage as described above, but washability is relatively low compared with other motion.Result is, adds the step motion that can apply thump, and can improve mainly the washability by the washing step forming for the oscillating motion of functional clothing.In addition, the thump of step motion can prevent that fine hair is attached to clothing.Result is that washing step can minimize the damage to functional clothing and completely also effectively separate from clothing dirty for the third time.

F.2. rinse cycle (S1550):

The rinse cycle of other process that the rinse cycle of functional clothing process can will be described with the rinse cycle of the above-mentioned multiple processes that comprise standard process with is below similar, and omission is further described in detail it.

In order to strengthen overall rinsing ability, rinse cycle can be repeated to more times than the rinse cycle of standard process.For example, can implement rinse cycle at least three times or more times.This is because cylinder rotates with the RPM than lower in standard process in the rinse cycle of functional clothing process, thereby weak rinsing ability is provided.That is, rinse cycle is used the centrifugal force generating by the High Rotation Speed of cylinder that washings are separated from clothing, and can provide and be configured to simultaneously by washing agent and the dirty rinsing function separating from clothing together with washings.The normal rinse step of the rinse cycle of functional clothing process is used the drum rotating of relatively low RPM, and final rinsing ability can be weakened.Thereby the rinse step of the rinse cycle of functional clothing process can be implemented three times or more times.

F.3 spinning cycle (S1570):

The spinning cycle of functional clothing process can be similar with the spinning cycle of the spinning cycle of the above-mentioned multiple processes that comprise standard process and other process will be described below.The normal spin step of spinning cycle can be with the RPM swing roller lower than the normal spin step of standard process, to prevent the damage to clothing.

G. process G (washing course fast):

Can be at the quick washing course G that is called as " washing course fast " of short time washing clothes relatively compared with other process by describing about Fig. 7 B.A small amount of clothing typical case need to be compared with a large amount of clothings the shorter time of essence.The in the situation that of a small amount of clothing, may with the unnecessary plenty of time implement comprehensive washing.Due to this reason, can be provided for washing in the short time process of a small amount of clothing.Fast washing course is above-mentioned standard process based on relevant to Fig. 7 A, each circulation in can optimal standards process or the operating condition of each step, or can suitably omit the step of predetermined quantity.

First, user can select quick washing course (S710B) from process selection portion 117, and control part can implement to form wash cycle (S730B), rinse cycle (S750B) and the spinning cycle (S770) of quick washing course.

G.1 wash cycle:

G.1.1 laundry amounts is determined:

Control part can start laundry amounts determining step to determine laundry amounts (S731B).Before starting, the step that can supply water implements laundry amounts determining step after user selects quick washing course.Laundry amounts measured in the laundry amounts determining step of above-mentioned standard process can be classified as two classes, a large amount of and a small amount of, is used for determining drum movement and other operating condition of ensuing circulation or each step.In quick washing course, measured laundry amounts can be used for determining the total time of washing comprehensively, has been used for total time of washing, rinsing and spinning cycle.In this case, laundry amounts be fast can being designated as more multiclass in washing course, for example three classes or more than.If laundry amounts is classified as more multiclass, can set the different overall wash time total time of washing, rinsing and spinning cycle (be used for) to each class of laundry amounts.Result is to control overall wash time corresponding to laundry amounts.Due to this reason, the relatively short time can be compatibly applied to a small amount of clothing and not weakened actual laundering ability.

For example, measured laundry amounts can be divided into three classes that comprise first, second and the 3rd class, maybe can be divided into more than three classes.For example, the first kind is corresponding with the load that is less than about 1.5Kg, and the applicable wash time of the first kind can be set to approximately 25 to 30 minutes, especially 29 minutes.Equations of The Second Kind can be corresponding with approximately 1.5 to 4.0Kg load, and the applicable wash time of Equations of The Second Kind can be set to approximately 35 to 40 minutes, especially 39 minutes.Finally, the 3rd class can be corresponding with the load that is greater than about 4.0Kg, and the applicable wash time of the 3rd class can be 45 to 50 minutes, especially 49 minutes.These kinds and time can be stored in the memory of control part as list data.

Once determine laundry amounts in laundry amounts determining step, control part determines that with reference to the kind form of storing measured laundry amounts is corresponding with which kind of.Afterwards, control part can be by being set as the actual laundering time with the given wash time of the measured corresponding kind of laundry amounts.

G.1.2. supply water/heating/washing:

After above-mentioned series of steps, control part can be implemented water supply step (S733B), heating steps (S740B) and the washing step (S742B) of wash cycle (S730B) according to the order of sequence.These steps of the wash cycle of the standard process shown in water supply step, heating steps and washing step and Fig. 7 A of the wash cycle of washing course are similar fast, thereby by the further specification specified of omitting it.

As above described in the standard process shown in Fig. 7 A, can before heating steps, implement to be configured to promote the heating preparation process of heated scrub water.But heating preparation process can be preliminary step, and the drum movement of predetermined period of time can increase overall wash time.Result is in quick washing course, not implement preliminary step (as the heating preparation process before heating steps).After water supply process, can start heating steps.

G.2 rinse cycle:

Once complete wash cycle, can implement to be configured to remove the residual and dirty rinse cycle (S750B) of washing agent remaining in clothing.Rinse cycle (S750B) is similar with the rinse cycle (S750) of the standard process shown in Fig. 7 A, thereby will omit the further specification specified of rinse cycle.

The rinse step for the first time of implementing in the starting stage of the rinse cycle of standard process can comprise the step of drum driven for the first time of use needs filtering campaign for a long time.Otherwise the drum movement of implementing needs the relatively short time, still provide abundant rinsing to clothing simultaneously in rinse step (S751B, S756B, S760B).Result is can omit the filtering campaign of rinse step for the first time set in the rinse cycle of quick washing course, to shorten overall wash time.

G.3 spinning cycle:

Once complete rinse cycle, control part can start spinning cycle (S770B).The spinning cycle of the standard process shown in spinning cycle and Fig. 7 A of washing course is similar fast, thereby will omit its further specification specified.

The drum movement of clothing untied step and implements to untie by the clothing of implementing in the starting stage of the spinning cycle of standard process.But this drum movement can not affect spin ability substantially.Due to this reason, in the spinning cycle of quick washing course, can not implement clothing and untie step, to shorten overall wash time.

Although the cylinder in the normal spin step of standard process can be with about 1000RPM rotation, but the cylinder in the normal spin step of washing course can be with about 800RPM rotation fast.Because the rotary speed of cylinder increases, more serious thereby the vibration of cylinder and noise can become, and the preparation process that can fully repeat cylinder to implement to reach target RPM is as eccentricity measuring process, thus operating time that need to be relatively long.Result is compared with the target rotational speed of washing course and the target rotational speed of standard process, to be lowered fast, and can to prevent that the acceleration time from increasing.

As described above, washing course can be divided into particular types by laundry amounts fast, and its overall wash time that can be applicable to each kind setting, thereby the overall wash time of a large amount of clothings and a small amount of clothing can suitably be shortened.In addition,, compared with standard process, can from each circulation, omit unnecessary step to shorten overall wash time.But the most of drum movement that is applied to each circulation of standard process is suitable in quick washing course, and can realize expectation washability.Result is that washing course can wash a small amount of clothing in the short time fast, keeps washability simultaneously.

H. process H (quiet process):

To process H be described referring to Figure 16.Process H can be called as can fall low noise " quiet process " during washing.

Under some environment, user may need washing machine noise lower.For example, if wash at night and/or baby or child in sleep, preferably with lower gimp operating washing machine.Can realize in every way the gimp of reduction.The optimization of control method of washing can effectively reduce noise, and there is no the production cost increasing.The control method of washing that is configured to reduce this noise can specifically be implemented by individual process (the quiet process proposing by the optimization of operating condition).Quiet process is based on standard process, and by optimizing or omitting some circulation of standard process or some operating condition of step is specifically implemented.Figure 16 is the flow chart of the step different from step standard process quiet process.First, user can select quiet process (S1610) from process selection portion 117, and control part can be implemented as follows sequence of operations.

H.1 wash cycle (S1630):

H.1.1 laundry amounts is determined (S1631):

Control part can start laundry amounts determining step to determine laundry amounts.Describe laundry amounts determining step above, thereby will omit its further details is described.The object of quiet process is to reduce noise and/or vibration and maintenance washability.The drum driven motion of each step can be made differentiation according to laundry amounts.

H.1.1. supply water (S1633):

Once user has selected quiet process, can water supply start step.Washings are fed to staving by water supply step.In addition water supply step, has been dissolved and has been mixed with the washing agent of washings and drenches the clothing being encased in cylinder.In the water supply step of quiet process, compared with the water supply step of standard process, control part can be supplied to staving by relatively large washings.To in following washing step, the reason of supplying more washings why be described.

H.1.1.1 supply water for the first time (S1635):

In water supply step, control part can implement to supply water for the first time step together with the supply of washings.Supplying water in step for the first time, control part by cylinder control for to be driven with rolling movement.

As described above, rolling movement continues swing roller along predetermined direction, and makes clothing from roller separation rotate to 90 ° or more low-angle position from the minimum point of cylinder in the direction of rotation with respect to cylinder after.In rolling movement, cylinder is with relative low speed rotation, and the clothing separating rolls and move to the minimum point of cylinder on the inner surface of cylinder, instead of drops to minimum point.Due to this reason, the rolling movement of the rotation of cylinder and clothing can generate predetermined whirlpool in washings, and can promote that washing agent dissolves in washings.Meanwhile, rolling movement causes that clothing moves along the rolling of drum inner surface, and it can be less than the noise of the generated impact of being dropped suddenly by clothing.Result is that the rolling movement tolerable washing agent supplying water for the first time in step fully dissolves in washings, has also reduced noise simultaneously.Supplying water in step for the first time, rolling movement can predetermined time cycle repeat for several times.

H.1.1.2 supply water for the second time (S1637):

Once complete the step that supplies water for the first time, control part can start the step that supplies water for the second time.Supplying water in step for the second time, control part can be by cylinder control for to drive with filtering campaign and rolling movement according to the order of sequence, and washings are continued to be supplied to staving.First and second times water supply step can be distinguished from each other out according to Preset Time separately, and the time of each step can regulate according to laundry amounts.

As described above, filtering campaign is with High Rotation Speed cylinder to generate centrifugal force, and the centrifugal force generating remains clothing and the interior perimeter surface close contact of cylinder.In addition the through hole that, washings pass clothing and cylinder by centrifugal force is to be discharged into staving.Result is, in filtering campaign, clothing is washed water and drenches.In addition, washings only do not have damaged through clothing and clothing, drenched in washings simultaneously.After implementing filtering campaign predetermined period of time, can implement rolling movement.As described above, the rolling movement tolerable washing agent supplying water for the first time in step fully dissolves in washings, also reduces noise simultaneously.In addition, while movement along the inner surface rolling of cylinder, the wider surface area of clothing contacts with washings, thereby can in washings, more effectively and more equably drench clothing.Result is, the combination of filtering campaign and rolling movement can minimum noise, and can effectively realize and drench clothing, dissolving detergent and untie clothing.This combination according to the order of sequence of filtering campaign and rolling movement can predetermined time cycle repeat for several times.

H.1.2 washing (S1635):

Once washings are provided to predetermined water level, the step that supplies water completes, and then can start washing step.

H.1.2.1 heating steps/washing (S1640) for the first time:

Once complete water supply step, control part starts washing step for the first time.Washing step can comprise the heating steps that is configured to washings to be heated to predetermined temperature for the first time.Different from heating steps and the washing step of standard process, the washing step for the first time of quiet process can only comprise rolling movement.It is mobile that rolling movement can roll along the inner surface of cylinder clothing, and the clothing that can not drop suddenly.Result is, the friction between this rolling movement maximizing clothing and washings and between clothing and cylinder, and washing step can be removed dirty from clothing with minimal noise effectively.

Compared with the water supply step of the control part in water supply step as described above, and standard process, can supply relatively large washings.For example, control part can be to be fed to 1.2 times of the washing water yield of same amount clothing by the washing water yield control of supplying in the washing step of quiet process.The increase of the washing water yield causes the growth of cylinder water level inside.While movement when rolling in the cylinder that clothing increases at water level by rolling movement, can further improve the friction between washings and clothing, and can further improve washability.Finally, in washing step, applicable rolling movement can provide enough washabilities and also suppress noise generation.

Once scheduled volume or more clothings are loaded in cylinder, the rotation at a slow speed of cylinder can not easily make clothing rotate together with cylinder.Even rotate together with cylinder, a large amount of clothings may be difficult to roll on drum inner surface mobile due to volume.Result is, because rolling movement is with relatively low speed swing roller, thereby a large amount of clothing fail rolling as desired and move, thereby fail to reach expectation washability.Due to this reason, if wash a large amount of clothings, washing step can adopt the drum movement different from above-mentioned rolling movement.

,, in the time that laundry amounts measured in laundry amounts determining step is greater than preset reference value, can in washing step, implements rolling movement and replace rolling movement.Rolling movement continues swing roller along predetermined direction, similar with rolling movement, and the rotary speed of cylinder in rolling movement is greater than the rotary speed of the cylinder in rolling movement.Result is, rotates to 90 ° or more after the position of wide-angle, clothing is from roller separation at clothing with respect to the direction of rotation of cylinder from the minimum point of cylinder.Due at rolling movement intermediate roll to rotate relative to high speed, thereby separated clothing drops to the minimum point of cylinder, these are different from rolling movement.Result is to carry out washing clothes by the friction between clothing and washings and the generated impact of dropping.Although rolling movement has generated more noises than rolling movement, but the noise generating can be less than the noise being generated in other drum movement of strong washability (as step motion and wash motion by rubbing with the hands) having.Due to this reason, rolling movement can wash a large amount of clothings effectively, suppresses as far as possible noise simultaneously and produces.In the time that measured laundry amounts is less than reference value, can implement as described above rolling movement.

In order to promote heated scrub water, can before heating steps, implement heating preparation process.But heating preparation process can comprise that drum movement and this drum movement can generted noises.Result is, can not implement preliminary step (as the heating preparation process before at washing step for the first time) in the washing step of this process, and washings can be being heated to predetermined temperature in washing step for the first time.Can be by being arranged on heater or the generation device of steam heated scrub water in staving.

H.1.2.2 washing (S1642) for the second time:

Control part can be starting washing step for the second time after washing step for the first time.In washing step for the second time, can remove more completely dirty.With washing step is similar for the first time, the washing step for the second time of quiet process can only comprise rolling movement.Generation that can minimum noise in rolling movement, and can effectively remove the dirty of clothing in rolling movement, as described above.In addition,, compared with the washing water yield of supplying, relatively large washings in rolling movement, have been supplied in standard process.Due to this reason, adopt rolling movement can ensure enough washabilities, and suppressed noise generation.

If laundry amounts is large, carry out head roll with rolling movement.If laundry amounts is little, carry out head roll with rolling movement, similar with above-mentioned washing step for the first time.

H.2 rinse cycle (1650):

Once complete wash cycle, can start to be configured to remove the residual and dirty rinse cycle of washing agent from clothing.The rinse cycle of rinse cycle and above-mentioned standard process is similar, thereby omission is further described in detail it.

The rinse step for the first time of implementing in the starting stage of the rinse cycle of standard process comprises the step of drum driven for the first time that uses filtering campaign, and it can generate larger noise.Result is in the rinse cycle of quiet process, not implement filtering campaign.Although the step of the rinse cycle of standard process can adopt various drum movement, but quiet process can only be applied to rolling movement the step of rinse cycle, to reduce noise as in washing step.

In order to strengthen overall rinsing ability, rinse step in quiet process than repeat more times in standard process.For example, rinse cycle can implement four times or more than.This be due to cylinder in the rinsing of quiet process than in the rinse cycle at standard process with lower RPM rotation, thereby weakened rinsing ability.That is, in rinse cycle, the centrifugal force that washings typical case generates by the High Rotation Speed of cylinder separates from clothing, and simultaneously washing agent with dirty together with washings from clothing separation.But in the normal rinse step of the rinse cycle of quiet process, cylinder rotates with lower RPM, thereby can weaken final rinsing ability.Result is, in the rinse cycle of quiet process, can implement rinse step four times or more than.

H.3 spinning cycle (S1670):

Once complete rinse cycle, control part can start spinning cycle.The spinning cycle of spinning cycle and standard process is similar, thereby will omit its further details is described.

In the normal spin step of quiet process, cylinder can be with the RPM rotation lower than the normal spin step of standard process, to reduce noise.For example, in order to reduce noise, cylinder can be with predetermined RPM rotation, 50% of the RPM of the normal spinning cycle that this predetermined RPM is standard process., cylinder can be with about 400RPM rotation.

I. process I (cotton, synthetic fiber, mixture process)

Similar with above-mentioned functions clothes process, it is corresponding with the kind of clothing and the fabric type of clothing that multiple processes can be set to.For example, can be provided with and be configured to wash the cotton process of COTTON FABRIC (as towel, tablecloth, T-shirt etc.), the mixture process that is configured to wash synthetic fiber process or careful nursing (easy care) process of synthetic fabrics and is configured to the mixture that washs various fabrics type (as cotton and synthetic fabrics).Composite fibre materials for example can comprise polyamide, acrylic acid, polyester and other this kind fabric.

COTTON FABRIC and synthetic fabrics have different qualities., COTTON FABRIC is with respect to more friction resistant and impact of synthetic fabrics, and shorter mention distortion.In addition, the comparable synthetic fabrics of COTTON FABRIC absorbs more washings, and than synthetic fabrics shorter mention fold.But COTTON FABRIC clothing is separated and always implements corresponding washing course from synthetic fabrics clothing is very difficult with these clothings of Wash Separately.This is due to user's clothes that often dress is made up together with synthetic fabrics of cotton, and does not expect the fractional load of Wash Separately cotton and synthetic fiber clothing.Result is can provide the washing course in conjunction with the advantage of cotton process and synthetic fiber process, i.e. mixture process.

It can be useful that mixture process has many reasons.For example, if user separates to wash respectively them by COTTON FABRIC clothing and synthetic fabrics clothing, washing can adversely be postponed until collected the clothing of scheduled volume, thereby dirty clothing can considerable time out in the cold.Certainly,, if wash respectively a small amount of clothing, may waste energy.Due to this reason, the mixture process that can wash together many fabric clothings of multiple conventional kind can prevent the problem of the out in the cold and energy waste of clothing.

In the washing course arranging at this mixture corresponding to polytype fabric shown in Figure 17, wash cycle, rinse cycle and spinning cycle can be made differentiation according to the characteristic of the fabric of particular type.As mentioned below, the circulation referring to above-mentioned standard process and step are described to cotton process, synthetic fiber process and the mixture process of the operating condition with the each step regulating based on fabric type.Compared with standard process, the details of suitably omitting repetition is described, and will be described in detail difference.

Once user has selected cotton process, synthetic fiber process or mixture process (S1710) according to the fabric type of clothing, control part can be implemented wash cycle (S1730), rinse cycle (S1750) and spinning cycle (S1770) and each step according to selected process.

I.1 wash cycle:

I.1.1 laundry amounts determining step (S1734):

Control part can be determined the laundry amounts in wash cycle, and in this process, definite method and the said method of laundry amounts is similar, and omission is repeated in this description.Can in following steps, suitably use measured laundry amounts, will describe in detail subsequently.

I.1.2. the step that supplies water (S1733):

Control part can be implemented to be configured to washings and washing agent are fed to staving or cylinder the water supply step in washings by detergent dissolution., together with washing agent, from outside watering supplying washing water.In order at first washings and washing agent to be supplied to clothing, washings and washing agent are directly supplied to the clothing in cylinder.That is, the water supply path of washings can be positioned at the front upper part of cylinder and towards cylinder inside, instead of in the bottom of staving.In the time that washing agent is powder-type, fail fully to implement detergent dissolution, and fully dissolving detergent of the drum driven of the water supply step that will describe hereinafter motion.Result is that washings and washing agent are supplied to clothing in the starting stage of wash cycle, and the required time of wash cycle can be shortened to improve detersive efficiency.

I.1.2.1 detergent dissolution promotes (S1735):

Promote in step at detergent dissolution, drum driven motion can be made differentiation according to the kind of clothes fabric.For example, can implement to wash by rubbing with the hands motion to COTTON FABRIC clothing, and can implement step motion to synthetic fabrics clothing.In alternate embodiment, can implement to wash by rubbing with the hands motion and/or step motion.

Wash by rubbing with the hands to move through and make clothing drop flexion/extension and wash clothing by rubbing with the hands, to generate friction.Due to this reason, can expect in the starting stage of wash cycle the effect that similar staff is washed by rubbing with the hands.But this washes motion by rubbing with the hands and can implement the fabric of rub resistance a little, and promote step intermediate roll actuation movement can be at the detergent dissolution of cotton process to wash motion by rubbing with the hands.

According to the characteristic of synthetic fabrics, synthetic fiber clothing is lighter than cotton dress thing, and synthetic fiber clothing has the percentage of lower water than cotton dress thing.In addition, synthetic fiber clothing than cotton dress thing relate to friction caused damage.Due to this reason, promote can implement step motion to promote detergent dissolution and to prevent fabric damage in step at detergent dissolution.,, for synthetic fabrics, promote the drum driven motion in step to can be step motion at detergent dissolution.Step motion applies maximum fall impacting to promote detergent dissolution to light synthetic fabrics, and in the starting stage of wash cycle, can expect and the effect of clean result like people's knock type.

Detergent dissolution in mixture process promotes the drum driven motion of step to can be step motion and washes the combination of motion by rubbing with the hands., respectively to the step motion of COTTON FABRIC and synthetic fabrics the best with wash motion by rubbing with the hands and can combine, thereby can promote detergent dissolution and can expect clean result in the starting stage of wash cycle.In this case, different drum driven motions are combined, and due to this reason, clothing motor pattern and washings motor pattern can be enough various to improve the efficiency of wash cycle.

I.1.2.2 clothing drenches (S1736):

Drench in step at the clothing of standard process, cylinder can rotate with rolling movement.Rolling movement than above-mentioned wash by rubbing with the hands motion generation be applied to clothing compared with friction, and having implemented to implement rolling movement in the cycle that clothing drenches.Result is although applied friction between many wet washs, but need to slightly note laundry damage, and can implement similarly to drench step with the clothing of rolling movement enforcement, no matter and which kind of fabric type clothing is.

No matter fabric is cotton or synthetic fiber, all can drenches and in step, implement rolling movement at clothing.Even in the time that user selects any one of cotton process, mixture process or synthetic fiber process, also can the clothing after detergent dissolution promotes step drench and in step, implement rolling movement.

Clothing drenches step can comprise two steps, comprises that for the first time and for the second time clothing of separately implementing drenches step.For example, implement 10 minutes time when clothing drenches step, for the first time clothing drench that step can be implemented 5 minutes and for the second time clothing drench step and can implement 5 minutes.Especially, can in drenching step, implement clothing for the first time additional water supply, once and complete additional water supply, can implement clothing for the second time and drench step.

The drum driven motion that for the first time and for the second time clothing drenches step can be made differentiation, more effectively to drench clothing and washing agent and washings are fed to clothing equably.For example, the drum driven motion that clothing drenches step for the first time can be rolling movement, and the drum driven motion that clothing drenches step for the second time can be the combination of rolling movement and filtering campaign., can be to be scheduled to clean effect than implementing rolling movement in clothing for the first time drenches step.Drench in step at clothing for the second time, after having implemented a filtering campaign, implement four times rolling movement, and this forms single circulation.This circulation can repeat.

Rolling movement continues rolling clothing in the bottom of cylinder, to increase the contact time between washings and washing agent.Filtering campaign launches clothing generously and allows that washings and washing agent are fed to clothing equably, drenches thereby can carry out effective clothing.Drench thereby typically can complete clothing with rolling movement with approximately 13 minutes, and drench available approximately 10 minutes according to the present embodiment clothing.

The drum driven motion that clothing drenches step for the first time can be made differentiation according to laundry amounts.The drum driven motion that clothing drenches step for the first time can be made differentiation according to determined laundry amounts in laundry amounts determining step.For example, if determined laundry amounts is predeterminated level or higher, cylinder is driven with rolling movement as described above.If determined laundry amounts is less than predeterminated level, can step motion and the combination of rolling movement carry out head roll.

Step motion is at the lifting clothing that drops suddenly afterwards.If laundry amounts is large, the distance that clothing drops can reduce.Thereby step motion is applicable to a small amount of clothing.This step motion may cause laundry damage.Result is, in cotton process, in the time that laundry amounts is less than predeterminated level, can in drenching step, implement the combination of step motion and rolling movement at clothing for the first time.When laundry amounts is predeterminated level or when higher, can in drenching step, implement rolling movement at clothing for the first time.Worrying in the synthetic fiber process and mixture process of laundry damage, can in drenching step, implement rolling movement at clothing for the first time, no matter and laundry amounts is how many.

In alternate embodiment, be associated with drum driven, can in water supply step, implement circulation step., circulation step can be synchronizeed and carry out with the driving of motor that is configured to head roll.The washings that circulate in the time that clothing moves by the driving of cylinder can be provided to clothing, and can more effectively reach the object of water supply step.

Detergent dissolution promotion step and clothing drench step and are included in according in the water supply step of the present embodiment.But detergent dissolution promotion step and clothing drench step and can arrange independently with water supply step.In this case, after supplying water, can implement detergent dissolution and promote step or clothing to drench step.

I.1.3. heating (S1741):

Heating steps can be made differentiation according to selected operation process in this process.The temperature of the washings that for example, use in heating steps can be set to different according to the fabric type of clothing.

COTTON FABRIC is heat-resisting a little.Along with the temperature of washings raises, it is more that washing agent dissolves in washings, and more promoted the activity of washing agent.Result is that, in the time having selected cotton process, in heating steps, the temperature of washings can be set to approximately 60 DEG C.Can in the scope that extends to approximately 95 DEG C of water from cold water, select via option selection portion 118 this temperature of washings.Along with the temperature of washings raises, can further promote that washing agent is active and can also improve washability, if suitably, also improved the effect of sterilization/bleaching.

Impact that synthetic fabrics can more be heated/more thermo-labile, thereby the target of synthetic fiber process or mixture process is to prevent cause thermal damage clothing.In the time having selected synthetic fiber process or mixture process, in heating steps, the temperature of washings can be set to approximately 40 DEG C.In synthetic fiber process or mixture process, can prevent that user from selecting temperature higher than the washings of 60 DEG C, to prevent laundry damage.For example, in the time selecting synthetic fiber process or mixture process, the temperature of the washings in heating steps can have the maximum limit of 60 DEG C.

The drum driven motion of heating steps can be rolling movement, no matter and selected process why.This is to untie because rolling movement can make clothing, reduces laundry damage simultaneously.Result is that the washings of rolling movement tolerable steam or heating are delivered to clothing fully.

In alternate embodiment, can in heating steps, implement circulation step.Circulation step can be synchronizeed and carry out with the driving of cylinder.Owing to implementing circulation step after initial heating is implemented into predetermined extent, thereby the scheduled time circulation step after the initial driving that starts cylinder can be synchronizeed and carry out with drum driven.

I.1.4 washing (S1742):

The drum driven motion of washing step can be the combination according to the order of sequence of rolling movement and/or rolling movement and/or oscillating motion.The drum driven motion of washing step can be made differentiation according to selected process, this be due to realize the effect of fabric protection and improve washability effect the two.

,, the in the situation that of washing COTTON FABRIC clothing, can implement to be configured to use the drum driven motion of strong mechanical force washing clothes.The in the situation that of washing synthetic fabrics clothing, can implement to be configured to the drum driven motion by using relatively low mechanical force washing clothes.Washing step can comprise one of multiple steps of the wash cycle that needs maximum duration.Result is that this washing step can be controlled as full blast implements washing.Because washing step required time is long, thereby likely produce maximum laundry damage in washing step.

Consider this, in the time selecting cotton process, can in washing step, carry out head roll with the combination of rolling movement and rolling movement.The combination of two different motion applies the strong mechanical force of various modes and can improve detersive efficiency clothing.,, according to the characteristic of COTTON FABRIC, worry hardly fabric damage.Due to this reason, apply strong mechanical force with washing clothes and can more improve clean result.In the time selecting cotton process, can in washing step, implement the combination of filtering campaign and rolling movement, and circulation step is synchronizeed and is carried out with the driving of cylinder.Because COTTON FABRIC seldom relates to laundry damage, thereby filtering campaign is sustainable and effectively provide washings and washing agent to clothing.

Comparatively speaking, in the time selecting synthetic fiber process, can be with the combination rotation of oscillating motion and rolling movement at washing step intermediate roll.The combination of these two different motion can improve clean result.Oscillating motion gently swings clothing in washings, thereby can minimize the laundry damage that friction produces.In addition the time that, clothing contacts with washings can fully increase to improve clean result.

Because mixture process is set to wash together efficiently cotton dress thing and synthetic fiber clothing, thereby clean result will be enhanced and will reduce as far as possible laundry damage, no matter and clothes fabric type why.In order to meet these, the drum driven motion of the washing step in the time selecting mixture process can be the combination of rolling movement and/or oscillating motion and/or rolling movement.That is, the oscillating motion that is configured to prevent fabric damage can be provided with, and the rolling movement that is configured to improve washability can be provided with.

In synthetic fiber process and mixture process, circulation step can be synchronizeed and carry out with drum driven, to allow that washings and washing agent are continued to be fed to clothing.

As described above, although selected one of cotton process, synthetic fiber process or mixture process, but can control to the combination of two different motion the drum driven motion of washing step.This is the various modes in order to generate mechanical force and clothing motion, and in order visually to improve user satisfaction.

In the time selecting the dirty level of clothing from option selection portion 118, can regulate according to selected dirty level the clean effect ratio of motor.But, increase clean effect than the time that has also increased mechanical force and be applied to clothing.Consider this, the clean effect of wash cycle is than making differentiation according to user-selected process., the clean effect of cotton process is than the clean effect ratio that can be greater than synthetic fiber process and mixture process.

I.1.2 rinse cycle (S1750):

Once complete wash cycle, can start rinse cycle.In rinse cycle, can repeat to be configured to discharge the rinse step of washings after using the washings rinsing clothes of supplying.The rinse step of the rinse cycle in this process can be in triplicate or more than.

Washings can be supplied as the water level that makes rinse cycle higher than the water level of wash cycle.That is, washings can be supplied to the visible predetermined water level from outside, with by improving wash effect with sufficient washings.

The drum driven motion of rinse cycle can be rolling movement.Rolling movement is immersed in clothing in washings or from washings, to shift out clothing, and this can repeat.High water level visually notifies user to carry out abundant rinsing together with rolling movement.The rolling movement of rinse cycle can prevent motor overheating and improve rinse efficiency.That is, the water level of rinse cycle can be higher than the water level of wash cycle, and the load that is applied to accordingly cylinder can increase by washings.Step motion, wash by rubbing with the hands motion and oscillating motion repeat motor rotation and check.Result is that this checking can generate overload on motor.In addition,, if water level is high, can increase the load that washings generate.In the rinse cycle with high water level, drum driven motion does not have any motor overheating of checking suddenly to prevent.Thereby it can be preferred being configured to along the rolling movement of predetermined direction swing roller in rinse cycle.

In rinse cycle, can implement circulation step, so that the washings that hold are recycled in cylinder in staving.This can produce the effect to the abundant rinsing of user's visual notification.

I.3. spinning cycle (S1770):

Once complete wash cycle and rinse cycle, can implement to be configured to discharge from clothing as much as possible the spinning cycle of washings.In the normal spin step of spinning cycle, consider that, according to the water content percentage of fabric type and residual fold, cylinder RPM can make differentiation according to user-selected process.

COTTON FABRIC has water content or the absorption of high percentage, shorter mention fold.Even if generate fold in COTTON FABRIC, also easily remove fold.Otherwise synthetic fabrics has water content or the absorption of low percentage, relates to largely fold.Result is, the default RPM in cotton process can be higher than in synthetic fiber process and mixture process, and this default RPM for example can be 1000RPM or higher.Herein, spin RPM can be changed through option selection portion by user.

The default RPM of synthetic fiber process and mixture process can be set to 400 to 600RPM.Even when with low RPM spin synthetic fiber clothing, washings also can fully be discharged from synthetic fiber clothing, and can prevent fold.In this case, spin RPM can be changed through option selection portion by user.In certain embodiments, to be set to maximum be 800RPM to spin RPM.

J. process J (lint process (WOOL COURSE)):

The washing course arranging according to the fabric type of clothing also can comprise lint process, instead of cotton process, synthetic fiber process and mixture process.Lint process be applied to have less dirty and relate to largely the clothing of fabric damage., lint process can be set to the woolen clothing that washing can be hand-washed.If use strong mechanical force washing, woolen clothing may be damaged.Result is, in lint process, to have predetermined motion (as the oscillating motion) head roll of weak mechanical force.Consider woolen characteristic, the drum driven motion of wash cycle, rinse cycle and the spinning cycle of lint process can be different from the drum movement of standard process.

J.1. wash cycle:

In lint process, prevent that fabric damage is very important, and in the wash cycle of lint process, can be to be configured to gently to carry out head roll with the oscillating motion that is moved to the left clothing to the right in the bottom of cylinder.In this case, water level can be enough high to allow the water level that can see cylinder inside from outside.Due to this reason, the friction between interior perimeter surface and the clothing of cylinder can minimize, and the lifting of clothing contact can repeat, and be rotated in the clothing soaking in washings, and this prevents the damage to clothing and allows and gently implement washing or rinsing.This oscillating motion can minimize the damage to clothing, and time of contacting with washings of increase and the time of washing agent and contact with clothing, to improve clean result.

Lint process as shown in figure 18.Select the wash cycle (S1810) of lint process.In the starting stage of wash cycle (S1830), washings and washing agent can be supplied to staving or cylinder, that is, and the step (S1833) of can implementing to supply water.Water supply step can comprise that detergent dissolution promotes step (S1835) and clothing to drench step (S1836).Detergent dissolution promotes that step is configured to promote the detergent dissolution implemented in the starting stage of water supply step, and clothing drenches the washing step after step is configured to the clothing fully to drench to prepare to have supplied water.Can be after water supply completes or before implement clothing and drench step.

The washing agent using in lint process can be neutral detergent, and is typically liquid-type, and it does not need the time as so much in powder-type just can in washings, dissolve.Consider this, in the starting stage of supplying water, washing agent is fed to clothing together with washings.Start once supply water, washings are fed to the liquid detergent holding in detergent box.Washings are fed to together with liquid detergent to staving or cylinder.In order quickly washings and liquid detergent to be fed to clothing, the washings that are mixed with each other and liquid detergent can be injected on the clothing that is arranged in cylinder.For more effective dissolving detergent, can implement to be configured to the washings that hold to be fed to the circulation step on cylinder top in staving.

Can be with oscillating motion head roll, thereby and then in washings, generating soft whirlpool can promote detergent dissolution, prevent laundry damage simultaneously.Once complete water supply, can implement together oscillating motion and circulation step to prepare washing step.This can be counted as a kind of clothing and drench step.

Promote step and clothing to drench step once complete detergent dissolution, if needed, can implement to be configured to the heating steps (S1841) of heated scrub water.But the temperature of washings can be controlled as and be no more than 40 DEG C in heating steps.If the heat that the temperature of washings was generated by increasing at most will make clothing distortion and damage woolen clothing.The temperature of 40 DEG C does not produce thermal deformation, and promotes the active of washing agent and promote washings to absorb in clothing.

The drum driven motion of washing step (S1842) can be oscillating motion.In each step of wash cycle, the time that washing step need to be the longest, and in order to prevent laundry damage in washing step, oscillating motion is used for to washing step.If repeat mechanical force to apply and stop being applied to woolen clothing, may produce fabric damage.This machinery repeats to produce woolen contraction.In order to prevent shrinking, can in washing step, continue to implement oscillating motion.

As described above, oscillating motion is by checking head roll with rheostat, and it can not apply heavy load to motor.In addition, oscillating motion can have and is configured to be less than 90 DEG C of reciprocating drum driven between left side and right side.Result is not need to promote clothing by heavy load.If continue head roll to wash motion and step motion by rubbing with the hands, excessive loads can be applied to motor.In rolling movement, can by than wash by rubbing with the hands motion and step motion in less load be applied to motor, but clothing is raised and drops to produce fabric damage.Consider this, in washing step, implement oscillating motion.

J.2 rinse cycle (S1850):

Once complete wash cycle, can implement rinse cycle.First, can implement moderate spin (medium spinning).After moderate spin, supplying washing water, to start rinsing, can be implemented rinse cycle for several times and if need.,, after water supply and rinsing, can repeat discharge water.Typically, in the water supply process after discharge water, implement moderate spin.

Moderate spin is untied clothing with relatively low rotary speed.Moderate spin comprises that being configured to untie the middle of clothing while sense vibrations with relatively low rotary speed spins (intermediate-spinning) and be configured to the main spin at scheduled time spin clothing with relatively high rotary speed.Middle spin can be implemented with about 100RPM, and main spin can be implemented with about 200RPM (lower resonant frequency) or higher rotating speed.

But, in the time selecting lint process, can omit moderate spin.Moderate spin is the process from clothing discharge washings by centrifugal force, and can in clothing, inevitably generate tension force.Due to this reason, the woolen clothing that is subject to external force in spinning cycle can be damaged.In order to reduce this worry, can omit moderate spin.For example, omit the main spin of moderate spin, and spin in the middle of can only implementing.If omit all processes of discharging washings by centrifugal force, rinsing ability can significantly decay.Consider rinsing ability and laundry damage, in the middle of can only implementing, spin and can omit main spin.

Comprise supply water and discharge that a series of rinse step of water can be implemented three times or more than, this is must discharge fully from clothing because washing agent is residual.The water level of rinsing can be higher than the water level of washing step, and can implement circulation step in rinsing.When using when liquid detergent, generally can fully discharge washing agent residual, this is because rinse step has been implemented twice and moderate spin.But, for this process, omit the main spin of moderate spin to prevent laundry damage, and can implement rinse step three times to reach expectation wash effect.

The drum driven of rinse step can be oscillating motion to prevent laundry damage.Oscillating motion gently swings clothing in washings, and allows that the washing agent absorbing is residual be discharged in washings in clothing, thereby can strengthen rinse efficiency.

J.3 spinning cycle (S1870):

Once complete rinse cycle, can start spinning cycle (dehydration rotating circulating, spinning cycle).The spinning cycle of spinning cycle and above-mentioned standard process is similar.The cylinder RPM of normal spin step can be set to 800RPM or lower, to protect the wool fabric of clothing.

K. process K (meticulous process):

Can comprise meticulous process as shown in figure 19 according to the set washing course of the fabric type of clothing, to wash the clothing of being made as silk, plastic cement fabric by high-count fabric, the clothing with the metal accessories that attach on it and other this type of delicate items.Can implement to have the drum movement (as oscillating motion) of relatively weak mechanical force gently to wash meticulous clothing in meticulous process, with similar in lint process.Result is, considers the characteristic of high-count fabric, and the drum driven motion of wash cycle, rinse cycle and the spinning cycle of meticulous process can be different from the drum driven motion of standard process.

K.1 wash cycle (S1930):

Similar with lint process, select meticulous process (S1910) and drive with oscillating motion at wash cycle (S1930) intermediate roll of meticulous process, and washings supply (S1933) is to relatively high water level.In addition, detergent dissolution promotes step (S1935) to promote that step is similar with the detergent dissolution of lint process, and this is to wash high-count fabric clothing because liquid-type washing agent is for general in meticulous process, with similar in lint process.But, promoting after step at detergent dissolution, clothing drenches that step (S1936) can to drench step different from the clothing of lint process.Wool fabric has relatively good water absorbing capacity than high-count fabric, and high-count fabric is more vulnerable to cause thermal damage than wool fabric.Due to this reason, can be set to approximately 30 DEG C for the temperature of the washings that wash high-count fabric.Although can select cold water, but generally do not select the temperature higher than 40 DEG C.

Drench in step and can use the effective clothing of implementing of filtering campaign to drench at clothing.Also can implement circulation step.Distribute equably clothing with after expanding the surface area of clothing at spin head roll and in cylinder inside, circulation step circulates in the washings that hold in staving to clothing.In addition, implement oscillating motion with submergence clothing in washings and generate the soft motion of clothing, to promote clothing to drench.Drench with promotion clothing with various patterns repetition filtering campaigns and oscillating motion.But the drum driven motion that clothing drenches step can be only oscillating motion.

Drench once complete clothing, can start washing step (S1942).The drum movement of washing step can be oscillating motion.High-count fabric can more anti-external impact compared with wool fabric.In order to realize more effective detersive efficiency, the drum movement of washing step can be the combination of oscillating motion and rolling movement, and has relatively high water level.

Alternately, in washing step, can only implement rolling movement.In this case, due to high water level, the clothing dropping and the surface collision of washings, instead of collide with the inner bottom surface of cylinder.This means and reduced the distance that drops.Reduce by high water level although be applied to the impact of clothing, in washings, generate whirlpool to improve clean result.Due to this clothing have relatively few dirty, thereby the time of washing step can be set as relatively shortly, and clean effect is more relatively low than being set to.Although only implemented rolling movement, but can prevent laundry damage.In washing step, also can implement circulation step.

K.2 rinse cycle (S1950):

Once complete wash cycle, can start rinse cycle.As described above, liquid-type washing agent can be used in meticulous process, and washing agent is residual can fully discharge by the rinse step of having implemented twice.Similar with lint process, in meticulous process, can omit moderate spin.For example, do not omit middle spin and can only omit main spin.The drum movement of rinse cycle can be only rolling movement.This rolling movement has the effect that clothing disperses., rolling movement allows that the surf zone of clothing contacts washings and residual to outside drain washing agent equably.In this case, water level can be relatively high.In rinse cycle, oscillating motion can join in rolling movement.

K.3 spinning cycle (S1970):

Once complete rinse cycle, can start spinning cycle.The spinning cycle of this process can be similar with the spinning cycle of lint process.The cylinder RPM of normal spin step can be set to and be no more than 800RPM.High-count fabric has the water content/absorption of low percentage, even and when normal spin step intermediate roll during with relatively low RPM rotation washings also can fully be discharged.In addition, can implement normal spin with relatively low RPM, in case the fabric damage that stop-pass overspin generates.

L. process L (sportswear process):

Now be described in the sportswear process shown in Fig. 2 D that can arrange in the washing course that the fabric type based on clothing classifies.Sportswear process can be set to washing by the made clothing of functional fabric with fine air permeability and good ability of sweat absorption, as anorak, run dress and sportswear.Similar with lint process or meticulous process, in sportswear process, can implement to have the drum movement of weak mechanical force, as oscillating motion.Due to this reason, consider the characteristic of cabana cloth, in sportswear process, the drum movement of set washing, rinsing and spinning cycle can be different from the drum movement of standard process.Once selected sportswear process (S2010), wash cycle (S2030), rinse cycle (S2050) and spinning cycle (S2070) can similar lint process and meticulous process implement.But due to the characteristic of sportswear, the wash cycle of sportswear process can be different from the wash cycle of above-mentioned other process.

L.1 wash cycle (S2030):

Sportswear has and prevents that moisture from easily penetrating (hydrophobic) characteristic of being bedewed by water of being difficult for of fabric.Result is, compared with the fabric of other kind, cabana cloth has the water content/absorption of low percentage, thereby water can be fed to cabana cloth fully and constantly in wash cycle.For this reason, the drum driven of wash cycle (S2030) motion (the water supply step (S2033) especially arranging in wash cycle) can be different from the drum movement of the wash cycle in other process.

First,, in this process, the drum driven motion of detergent dissolution promotion step (S2035) can be washes motion and/or step motion by rubbing with the hands.Compared with lint or high-count fabric, cabana cloth seldom relates to fabric damage, thereby sportswear process can be used the drum driven motion that can apply than oscillating motion stronger mechanical force.

The clothing of sportswear process drenches step (S2036) can be different with meticulous process from lint process.Although it can prevent laundry damage, but due to the characteristic that bedewed by water of being difficult for of cabana cloth, thereby oscillating motion can not provide enough washings to the folded part of clothing.Consider this, in the clothing of sportswear process drenches step, can implement filtering campaign (comprising circulation step).Filtering campaign disperses equably clothing and washings is fed to clothing equably in cylinder.Together with filtering campaign, can implement to be configured to continue the rolling movement of rolling clothing.

L.2 rinse cycle (S2050):

The rinse cycle of this process can be similar with the rinse cycle of standard process, lint process and meticulous process, thereby will omit its further details is described.

L.3 spinning cycle (S2070):

The spinning cycle of this process can be similar with the spinning cycle of standard process, lint process and meticulous process, thereby will omit its further details is described.

M. process M:

According in the washing machine of above-mentioned the second embodiment about Fig. 2, staving is fixed directly to housing and cylinder is arranged in staving.According to the second embodiment, staving is fixed, and only cylinder vibration.Result is, prevents that cylinder from contacting with staving is important in the time of drum rotating, and distance between staving and cylinder can be greater than according to the distance in the washing machine of the first embodiment shown in Fig. 1.

In the time that the distance between staving and cylinder is large, is loaded in the washings that clothing in cylinder may not be supplied to staving inside and fully drenches.Due to this reason, when when supplying water in the washing machine of the second embodiment, circulating pump is dropped into operation effectively to drench clothing, and can make to be fed to the washings circulation in staving.For example, circulating pump can be continued drive or drive with predetermined space, and feed water valve is opened simultaneously.

According in the washing machine of the second embodiment, cylinder is connected with staving back 230.But staving back 230 is supported by suspension unit via bearing block 400, instead of is supported by staving.Due to this reason, with compared with the washing machine of the first embodiment (it comprises that the staving back that is directly connected to staving is with the load of back-up roller), being arranged on can be relatively large according to the free degree of the cylinder in the washing machine of the first embodiment, and the front portion of cylinder can have the free degree of increase.

But in the time that water is supplied to staving, water supply line and recycle circuit are for the anterior supplying washing water from staving.Result is that first the clothing that is positioned at cylinder front portion will be drenched, and is greater than the load at rear portion in the load of cylinder front portion.This may cause the front portion of cylinder to move down.If the front portion of cylinder moves down, during the rotation of cylinder, noise and vibration may increase, and may cause that cylinder contacts with the inner surface of staving.Result is, according in the washing machine of the second embodiment, the clothing that is positioned at cylinder front and rear in the time that water is supplied to clothing should evenly be drenched.Process M is called as the washing course can be applicable to according to the washing machine of the second embodiment, that is, and and according to the standard process of the washing machine of the second embodiment.To this process be described referring to Figure 21.

M.1 wash cycle (S2130):

Figure 21 is the flow chart of process M.Once user has selected this process (S2110) from process selection portion, control part can be implemented as follows a series of processes.

Wash cycle can comprise that laundry amounts determining step (S2131), water supply step (S2133), clothing drench step (S2135), heating steps (S2137) and washing step (S2139).In the following description, clothing is drenched to step and be described as the independent step separating with the step that supplies water.But clothing drenches step and can be included in water supply step.

M.1.1 supply water (S2133):

After the laundry amounts sensing in wash cycle, can water supply start step.In above-mentioned process, describe the clothing determining step of water supply step in detail, thereby omission has further been described in detail it.

In water supply step, washings are fed to staving inside by control part.Particularly, control part is opened feed water valve so that washings are fed to staving via water supply line and detergent box.As follows, the embodiment of the method for supplying water that the clothing that is positioned at cylinder front and rear evenly can be drenched will be described in the time washings being fed to according to clothing in the washing machine of the second embodiment.

According to the method for supplying water according to the first embodiment, in the time of water supply step supply water, circulating pump is dropped into operation so that washings circulate and cylinder dropped into operation simultaneously.Control part can carry out head roll with the motion of washing by rubbing with the hands in above-mentioned drum movement.

According in the washing machine of the second embodiment, the distance between cylinder and staving is greater than the distance between staving and the cylinder in the first embodiment.Thereby in a second embodiment, if carry out head roll (as in the first embodiment) with rolling movement during water supply step, the clothing that is positioned at cylinder rear portion fails evenly to be drenched.That is, because the gap between cylinder and staving is larger, thereby the washings between cylinder and staving fail to be raised by the rotation of rolling movement intermediate roll, the clothing that is especially positioned at cylinder rear portion fails to be drenched.

Result is, in the water supply step of this process, to implement to wash by rubbing with the hands motion and replace rolling movement.As described above, wash motion by rubbing with the hands with higher RPM (compared with rolling movement) swing roller, and washings between cylinder and staving can be raised by the rotation of cylinder, then drop on clothing.

Especially, if according to downward-sloping in the washing machine of the second embodiment, being positioned at the washings at staving rear portion, the rear portion of cylinder and staving can be supplied to by washing motion by rubbing with the hands the surf zone of clothing.Wash motion by rubbing with the hands along clockwise/counterclockwise swing roller, the direction of rotation of reversing suddenly.Result is, counter-rotating in suddenly of cylinder generates whirlpool in washings, and the clothing that is positioned at the front and rear of cylinder can evenly be drenched.

In the time opening feed water valve with supplying washing water, drive and swing roller and make clothing inner mobile at cylinder according to the driving of cylinder.In this case, the washings of supplying via the water supply line that is connected to cylinder front portion can major part be fed to clothing mobile in the front portion of cylinder.Compared with being positioned at the clothing at cylinder rear portion, the clothing that is positioned at cylinder front portion is early drenched.Result is, according to the second embodiment of method of supplying water, cylinder can not driven until passed through the scheduled time after feed water valve is opened for supplying water, or until water level reaches predeterminated level.When the scheduled time or until washings reach predetermined water level cylinder by drive time, the washings of supplying via water supply line can be contained in the bottom of staving.Can consider that the gap between staving and cylinder determines this predetermined water level, and can determine this scheduled time according to the capacity of staving and cylinder and laundry amounts.

Especially,, if be arranged on according to the rear portion of the staving in the washing machine of the second embodiment downward-slopingly, in the rear portion of staving, can collect a large amount of washings.Thereby, after having passed through the scheduled time, drive and swing roller, and the washings that hold in the rear portion of staving can evenly drench the clothing that is arranged in cylinder rear portion.When according in the washing machine of the second embodiment when head roll, drum movement can be rolling movement or washes motion by rubbing with the hands.

In the time opening feed water valve according to the second embodiment in order to supply water, there is no head roll, can control the opening/closing of feed water valve.; in the time that feed water valve is opened to supply water; due to outside watering (as hose) thus pressure washings can there is predetermined pressure; then can be supplied to by hydraulic pressure the front portion of cylinder along the washings of water supply line supply, thereby the clothing that is arranged in cylinder front portion can early be drenched.

Result is, between delivery period in a second embodiment, feed water valve repetitive control, for opening and closing, instead of continued to open, and follows supplied washings and can be controlled as and opening and closing to have the predetermined hydraulic pressure that is enough to be not directly fed to cylinder.Be enough to be not directly fed to the so a kind of hydraulic pressure of pressure representative of cylinder, this hydraulic pressure makes can fall to be collected in the bottom of staving along cylinder, staving or door via the water of water supply line supply, instead of is directly injected in cylinder.The water falling along cylinder, staving or door can be collected in the rear portion of staving, and the description of the washings of collecting in staving and the second embodiment similar, be repeated in this description thereby can omit.

In the time that the clothing in cylinder during water supply step is wound around, clothing may partly be drenched.Especially, the clothing that is positioned at the center of the piece (lump) of be wound around clothing may not drenched, and the clothing that is only positioned at the surf zone of piece can be drenched.If only some clothing is drenched, thus in wash cycle, can not implement washing and washability can be weakened.Result is that, if clothing is wound around, control part can carry out head roll so that clothing is evenly drenched with filtering campaign.

That is, control part is opened feed water valve for supplying water, and it drives circulating pump with circulation cleaning water simultaneously.In addition, control part is with predetermined RPM swing roller.By predetermined RPM be defined as making during drum rotating clothing not can due to gravity drop but can with the RPM of the inner surface close contact of cylinder.Result is that this predetermined RPM can be set to the centrifugal force that while making drum rotating, the rotation by cylinder generates and be greater than acceleration of gravity.In addition, predetermined RPM can be set to lower than the hypervelocity region (over speed area) (about 200RPM is to 35RPM) that generates resonance in washing machine.If with the RPM swing roller higher than hypervelocity region, understand and significantly increase noise and vibration by resonance.Result is that predetermined RPM can be set to about 100RPM to 170RPM in this control method.

Result is, once control part with predetermined RPM swing roller, clothing due to centrifugal force can with the inner surface close contact of cylinder.Washings via recycle circuit and water supply line supply can be dispersed along the rotation of cylinder.The washings that disperse can be provided to cylinder and the clothing with the inner surface close contact of cylinder, thereby clothing can evenly be drenched.

M.1.2 clothing drenches (S2135):

After water supply step, control part can start clothing and drench step.Drench in step at clothing, control part is closed feed water valve.Control part head roll, and washings circulation in the time driving circulating pump.Drench although implement clothing in water supply step, close but drench feed water valve in step at clothing, and can implement clothing by the driving of cylinder and drench.

Drench in step at the clothing of this process, control part head roll drenches to implement clothing.In this case, control part can carry out head roll by rolling movement.Because rolling movement is along with the rotation of the cylinder together clothing in traveling roller rollably, thus washings frequently contact with clothing and successfully (smoothly) implement clothing and drench.

When implementing clothing while drenching step, control part clothing is drenched to step is divided into for the first time and for the second time clothing drench step.Can according to the drum movement of cylinder drive for the first time and for the second time clothing drench that step/, control part can be by the drum movement control that clothing drenches step for the first time and for the second time for differing from one another.Operation cycle pump as mentioned below.

Particularly, drench in step at clothing for the first time, control part can be to roll and/or one of step motion carry out head roll.Can determine according to laundry amounts the selection of drum driven motion.,, if the laundry amounts in cylinder is less than predetermined reference value, if for example laundry amounts is few, control part can carry out head roll according to step motion.If laundry amounts is reference value or larger, control part can carry out head roll according to rolling movement.

As described above, if laundry amounts is few, the clothing that can the improve step motion effect that drops.Result is, if laundry amounts is few in clothing for the first time drenches step, step motion absorbs water with the maximum distance clothing that drops that drops to allow in clothing.Meanwhile, if laundry amounts is large in clothing for the first time drenches step, implement rolling movement.This is because the clothing of step motion a large amount of clothing in the situation that distance that drops is relatively little.

Thereby, drenching in step at clothing for the second time, control part can, with the predetermined RPM head roll that clothing can be with the inner surface close contact of cylinder can not dropped due to gravity, carry out head roll according to filtering campaign.Finally, cylinder can be due to centrifugal force and the inner surface close contact of cylinder with predetermined RPM rotation and clothing.The washings of supplying by circulating pump are fed to the clothing that is attached to drum inner surface equably, thereby clothing can evenly be drenched.

Drench in step at clothing for the second time, control part can be implemented another drum driven motion after filtering campaign.For example, control part can be implemented rolling movement after filtering campaign.In this case, filtering campaign disperses clothing so that washings are fed to clothing, and the rollably mobile clothing of rolling movement is evenly to drench the clothing in washings.

M.1.3 heating (S2137):

Afterwards, control part starts heating steps.Particularly, in heating steps, control part, according to rolling and/or one of rolling and/or oscillating motion head roll, and drives and is arranged on heater in the staving washings to hold in heating staving.

In the washing machine of the second embodiment, the gap between cylinder and staving is greater than the gap of the first embodiment.Due to this reason, when by driving heater while carrying out heated scrub water, drum rotating and only heated the washings that hold in staving, instead of the washings that hold in cylinder.Result is, compared with the washings of heating, thereby because the relatively low temperature of clothing is not below may successfully being removed the dirty of clothing in the washing step of description.

Due to this reason, be applied to according to the control method of the washing machine of the second embodiment and in heating steps, drive circulating pump, so that washings circulation.The washings through heating that hold in staving are fed to the top of staving again by circulating pump, thereby clothing can be heated.But, in heating steps, can intermittently drive circulating pump with predetermined space, instead of continue to drive.Especially,, in heating steps, make the shut-in time of circulating pump longer than the opening time thereby can control circulating pump.If if continue to drive the opening time of circulating pump or circulating pump to be greater than the shut-in time in heating steps, will circulate and not be heated to the washings of predetermined temperature, and washings may not be heated to preferred temperature.

If heater is arranged in staving, importantly in the time that not being exposed to outside the water surface, heater drives heater.If drive heater in the time that heater exposes, too many load is applied on motor and heater may break down.Result is, if drive heater in heating steps, in heating steps, can be kept away from the predetermined water level (reference level hereinafter) of heater.,, when in the time that heating steps middle water level is less than reference levels, control part is closed heater.When water level is increased to predeterminated level by again supplying water or when above, control part is opened heater (" cut-out " hereinafter) again.

But, if according in the washing machine of the second embodiment heating steps use cutting-off method, too many load can be applied to heater and various circuit, and the service life that may reduce washing machine.

, drive and add hot heater according to the heating steps of the washing machine of the second embodiment, and driving circulating pump as described above simultaneously.Result is that the water level in staving may not kept regularly by the driving of circulating pump, but may continue to change to predetermined extent.In this case, the water level in staving is enough to change into and is reduced to lower than reference level.Especially, exceed reference levels if the water level in staving is changed into, thereby if water level exceedes reference levels, heater can be opened, and if water level lower than reference value heater can close, thereby the opening/closing of sustainable repetition motor.The opening/closing that heater repeats can apply excessive load to heater and various circuit, and it can reduce service life.

Result is, if the water level in staving is reduced to and reaches reference levels during according to the driving of motor in the heating steps of the washing machine of the second embodiment, can implement again to supply water to prevent the repetition opening/closing of heater.Particularly, in the time that the water level in staving in heating steps is reduced to lower than reference levels, control part stops the driving of cylinder and closes circulating pump.Now, extraly, open feed water valve to implement water supply again.The reason of cylinder and circulation pump is, thereby because the variation of water level when head roll and the circulating pump is difficult to sense accurate water level.By extending, can disable motor.Meanwhile, again supply water can implement the scheduled time, or until supply water implement so that water level reach reference levels or exceed reference levels by water level sensing.Again the specific water level supplying water can be made differentiation according to selected process kind in the starting stage of heating.

M.1.3 washing (S2139):

After heating steps, control part can implement to be configured to drive the washing step of circulating pump while head roll.In washing step, can in each drum movement, compatibly select according to user-selected process the drum driven motion of cylinder.For example, can determine the drum driven motion of washing step, similar with one of multiple washing steps set in above-mentioned process.Can drive circulating pump to circulate in the washings that hold in staving with predetermined space.

M.2 rinse cycle (S2150):

Once complete wash cycle after above-mentioned steps, thereby control part can start rinse cycle.General rinse cycle can comprise rinsing spin step, water supply step, drum driven step and drain step.First, control part starts rinsing spin in rinsing spin step, with the second rotary speed (RPM 2) swing roller (S2151), residual to remove moisture residual in clothing and washing agent, simultaneously with about 500RPM to 700RPM swing roller.Control part stops cylinder and opens feed water valve, so that washings are supplied to staving.Rinsing water level can be preset according to user-selected process or according to user's manual setting.

After supplying water, control part is with predetermined space and with the first rotary speed (RPM 1) head roll.In drum driven step, the drum driven motion of control part index drum is also removed washing agent from clothing.Control part in this step can be above-mentioned rolling and/or stepping by cylinder control and/or wash by rubbing with the hands and/or one of rolling and/or oscillating motion.

And then control part stops the driving of cylinder, and drive draining pump the washings that hold are discharged into outside (S2153) in staving.

Above-mentioned rinsing spinning cycle, water supply step, water supply step, drum driven step and discharge step can form the single circulation of rinse cycle.Control part can be implemented this circulation primary or repeatedly according to selected process or user's selection.But the single circulation of rinse cycle can comprise rinsing spin step.The second rotary speed of rinsing spin step can be corresponding to 700RPM with about 500RPM, and as described above, and the rotary speed of this rinsing spin can be corresponding with the hypervelocity region (about 200RPM is to 350RPM) of the resonance of generation washing machine.

Result is, if be arranged in the clothing of cylinder do not have dispersed, the clothing dispersion steps that can implement to be configured to disperse clothing, drum speed can accelerate to spin for rinsing thereafter.Clothing dispersion steps is clockwise and/or counter clockwise direction swing roller repeatedly with predetermined RPM edge.After clothing dispersion steps, the eccentricity level of identification cylinder.If the eccentricity level of cylinder is less than predetermined value, can implement rinsing spin.If eccentricity level be predetermined value or more than, can repeat clothing dispersion steps.Owing to implementing clothing dispersion steps before rinsing spin step, thereby can increase the time of rinse cycle.Especially, because clothing dispersion steps is repeated, thereby the meeting of the time of rinse cycle significantly increases, and the time that rinse cycle consumes can not be calculated to a nicety.

As mentioned below, in order to address the above problem, will the rinse cycle control method that can shorten the overall time that rinse cycle consumes be described.

As shown in figure 21, can comprise washings supply step, drum driven step (S2151) and drain step (S2153) according to the rinse cycle of the washing machine of the second embodiment.Compared with the first embodiment, omit rinsing spin step according to the rinse cycle of the second embodiment.Owing to having omitted rinsing spinning cycle, thereby the time of rinse cycle can be shortened many like that time of rinsing spin step, and clothing dispersion steps may be not necessarily, thereby prevent the remarkable increase that repeats the caused rinse cycle time of clothing dispersion steps.Although omit rinsing spin step and shortened the time of rinse cycle, but, be configured to by removing the residual rinsing of washing agent and spin that will to be difficult to fully to remove washing agent residual for step rotate clothing relative to high speed thereby omit.

Result is, according in the control method of the rinse cycle of the second embodiment, with the second rotary speed (RPM 2) swing roller approximately 1 to 3 minutes, and do not stop in drain step.The second rotary speed is defined as to the predetermined speed of allowing that clothing can not drop because gravity is attached to drum inner surface during the rotation of cylinder.The second rotary speed can be set so that the centrifugal force that drum rotating generates is greater than acceleration of gravity.In addition, the second rotary speed can be set to the hypervelocity region lower than washing machine.If cylinder rotates on hypervelocity region, resonance can significantly increase noise and vibration.Result is that the second rotary speed can be set to approximately 100 to 170RPM.

Finally, discharge step swing roller at a predetermined velocity, thus clothing due to centrifugal force can with the inner surface close contact of cylinder, residual to remove washing agent from clothing.The abridged rinsing spin step in order to compensate, discharge step with the second rotary speed swing roller to prevent from weakening rinsing ability.

In the step with the second rotary speed (allowing the predetermined speed of the inner surface close contact of clothing and cylinder) swing roller, if discharge the water holding in staving, before rinse cycle, can implement whole discharge steps.,, even if water is discharged in wash cycle, also can implement the step with predetermined RPM swing roller.

M.3 spinning cycle (S2170):

The spinning cycle of this process can be for example, with the spinning cycle of other process (spinning cycle of process A) similar.Thereby, omission is further described in detail it.

Above-mentioned process M can be applied to according to the washing machine of the second embodiment.But process M also can be applied to according to the washing machine of the first embodiment., process M can be applicable to any washing machine according to the first and second embodiment.

N. time management option:

Time management option now will be described.Generally speaking, once select specific process, start the operation of selected process based on preset algorithm, and complete this operation within the time of scheduled volume.Each that need to be used for that operating time of implementation process can be this process of composition circulates needed total time.This total operating time can show on display part 119.

In some cases, the operating time may be long.For example, if user must leave in 1 hour and the predetermined registration operation time is 1 hour 20 minutes, the operating time than user desired grown 20 minutes.Otherwise the serious dirty washing operation of implementing 1 hour 20 minutes that makes is not enough to washing clothes.In order to address this problem, provide can administrative time washing machine and control method thereof.

Above-mentioned washing machine can comprise the time management option that is set to administrative time., the operating time of specific process can be increased or decreased via option portion.Particularly, user can save option from time management option select time.Alternately, user can be via time management option selective enhancement option.If do not select this option, can be according to default process implementation and operation.Can before wash cycle starts and after selecting operation process, implement this time management selects.

For example, if be 120 minutes and user's select time while saving option when the operating time of cotton process, the action required time for example can shorten to 100 minutes.In the time of user's selective enhancement option, the operating time rises to 140 minutes to ensure fully to clean the dirty clothing of severe.It is predetermined poor to have at Preset Time and between the actual needs time.

The time that wash cycle and/or rinse cycle need can change according to the selection of saving of time option., the circulation that is changed/regulates of needed operating time can be according to selected process and difference.For example, the in the situation that of cotton process, synthetic fiber process and mixture process, it is important improving washability.Due to this reason, even if selected saving of time option, normal wash cycle required time also may not can change.Thereby, can consider the time that regulates one of multiple parts of rinse cycle required.

Rinse cycle repeats water supply, draining and spin.Rinsing can be implemented twice, three times or four times.Spin can be implemented with the order identical with spinning cycle, and wherein the RPM of main spin and time are less than RPM and the time of spinning cycle.Result is, in the time having selected saving of time option, can omit the main spin of rinse cycle.

In the time having selected saving of time option, can omit laundry amounts determining step according to selected process.For example, in the time having selected lint, meticulous or sportswear process, the amount of this particular fabric is relatively little.If this fabric is made dirty, user trends towards washing immediately them.Result is that it is rarely found in individual process operation, washing a large amount of such clothings.Consider this reason, in the time having selected lint, meticulous or sportswear process, can omit laundry amounts determining step.

Otherwise, in the time having selected enhancing option, can increase number of times or wash cycle required time that the rinsing in rinse cycle is implemented, or both all can increase.

This time management option has met the object of specific process and has allowed user's administrative time easily.

O. process O:

To describe referring to Figure 25 " process O "." process O " can be set to the process of the clothing (as having serious dirty clothing or infants' wear) that is applicable to the strong washability washing of needs., need strong washability to wash and there is serious dirty clothing (as Work Clothes).In this case, at least one step that this process comprises can comprise to the step of clothing supply steam.In the time supplying steam to clothing, the temperature of clothing raises by high-temperature steam and soaks into and is attached to the dirty to improve washing and/or rinsing ability of clothing.In addition,, in the situation that clothing needs sterilization (as infants' wear), steam is used for realizing bactericidal effect.Herein, generation device of steam (not shown) can be set to by using the water of supplying from outside watering to carry out generating steam, to supply steam to clothing.In other words, generation device of steam receives water from outside watering, and it heats with generating steam water.Afterwards, generation device of steam is supplied steam to clothing.In this case, the steam jet that is configured to make the steam line that steam passes through and is configured to supply steam can be arranged in generation device of steam.Generation device of steam can be general for being configured to the storage-type of storage of water therein or being configured to make the hot type that water moves.

O.1 wait for the step that user inputs:

First, washing machine execution is configured to the wait user input step (S2510) of waiting for that user inputs.In this case, washing machine is via visually show process input of display, to wait for that user inputs.Alternately, washing machine can acoustically notified process input to user.

O.2 carry out selected process:

In the time that user has selected a process, whether controller is identified selected process is steam process (S2530).Herein, steam process is the process that comprises that at least one uses the step of steam.In other words, at least one step included in washing, rinsing and spinning cycle in selected process comprises the step that uses steam, and this process can be called as steam process so.

In the time having selected steam process, control part is carried out step and the head roll step (S2570) at least one times of the cylinder that supplies steam to washing machine.Can carry out generating steam by above-mentioned generation device of steam, and generation device of steam can supply steam to cylinder herein.In the time of head roll, the actuation movement of head roll can be sharp movement, for example, wash by rubbing with the hands and/or step motion, comprises motion or " percussion movement " and/or " rubbing motion " of checking suddenly step.Above describe and washed by rubbing with the hands and step motion, and will omit being repeated in this description it.Can carry out this steam supplied and drum movement step, wherein the order of these steps can combine mutually.
