Therefore, controller 52 detects the weight (load) of putting into the clothing in washtub 12 to carry out the washing (100) of clothing.Can detect to be permitted various ways the weight of clothing.Can utilize certain dutycycle (90V) of being applied to washing motor 14 for the RPM(of sense weight for example, approximately 70RPM is to 150RPM) washing motor 14 is turned round and obtains to reach the time sense weight that described dutycycle and angular speed spend.Or, can reach the time sense weight that desired speed (or predetermined speed of rotation) spends by using the acceleration at once of washing motor 14 to obtain.Or, as at 2002-336593, disclosed in 2004-267334 and 1995-90077 Japan patent applicant announce, can reach the scheduled time by applying moment of torsion to washing motor 14, directly or indirectly measure the rotary inertia of washtub 12, then use second law of motion (, moment of torsion=rotary inertia × angular acceleration) calculated weight and detect the weight of clothing.
Or, can adopt load cell to detect the weight (load) of clothing.
In the time detecting the weight (load) of clothing, according to the weight (load) of clothing detecting, controller 52 arranges RPM and operations factor (the opening/closing time of motor), the target water level of washing, target water level and washing and the lasting time of rinsing of rinsing.
In the case of user the input independent order not relevant to the operation of washing machine 1 extraly, carry out according to the weight (load) of the clothing of the detection target water level to RPM and operations factor (the opening/closing time of motor), the target water level of washing, rinsing and washing and the rinsing setting of lasting time.Input extraly the independent order relevant to the operation of washing machine 1 in the case of user, according to ordering change RPM and operations factor (the opening/closing time of motor), the target water level of washing, target water level and washing and the lasting time of rinsing of rinsing.
After this, controller 52 operates feed water valve 42 and carries out the required washings of washing operation with supply.
In the time of operation feed water valve 42, feed water valve 42 is opened, and washings are supplied to a barrel 11(102 together with washing agent through water supply pipe 40 and washing agent feeding unit 41).
Therefore, controller 52 is fed to the water level of the washings of bucket 11 by level sensor 19 sensings, and to determine whether to have arrived target water level, and continuation water supply reaches target water level until be fed to the water level of bucket 11.
When washings are supplied while reaching target water level, target RPM and operations factor (time of the opening/closing of motor) execution washing operation that controller 52 thinks that by driving washing motor 14 washing operation is set up, make thus impeller 13 left with to right rotation, to produce the current (104) of the water (washings and washing agent) that contains washing agent to clothing transmission.
In the time completing washing operation in the wash time of setting, controller 52 stops washing motor 14, and discharges the water (106) that contains washing agent, dehydration (108) in the middle of then carrying out.
Subsequently, controller 52 operates feed water valve 42 and operates required washings with supply execution rinsing.
In the time of operation feed water valve 42, feed water valve 42 is opened, and washings are supplied to a barrel 11(110 by water supply pipe 40).At this moment, controller 52 is controlled the supply of washings, with by impeller 13 left and the stirring of washings is provided to right rotation, to improve wash effect.Thus, because the clothing of having carried out middle dehydration and be attached to washtub 12 after washing operation separates with washtub 12, and fully mix with water, therefore, can improve wash effect.
Therefore, controller 52 is fed to the water level of the washings of bucket 11 by level sensor 19 sensings, to determine that whether water level is as target rinsing water level (water level definite according to the set amount of washings), and lasting water supply reaches target rinsing water level until be fed to the water level of the water of bucket 11.
In the time that the washings of supply reach target rinsing water level, controller 52 is by thinking that rinsing operates target RPM and the operations factor (the opening/closing time of motor) set up and drives washing motor 14 to carry out rinsing operation, make thus impeller 13 left with to right rotation, to produce the current (112) that make washings contact clothing.
In the time completing rinsing operation in the rinsing time of setting, controller 52 stops washing motor 14, and discharges washings (114).Repeat such rinsing operation with pre-determined number.
In the time that rinsing operation repeats pre-determined number and completes last rinsing, controller 52 determines whether carry out dehydrating operations (116).
In the time that in operation 116, definite operation subsequently is not dehydrating operations, controller 52 dewaters (118) in the middle of carrying out, and then gets back to operation 110, and execution operation subsequently.
In the time that in operation 116, definite operation is subsequently dehydrating operations, controller 52 arrives about 1000RPM with the about 700RPM of RPM(setting for final dewatering) execution dehydrating operations (120).
At this moment, controller 52 drives drain motor 22 by driver element 56.Thus, the water in bucket 11 is discharged to outside through first row water pipe 21 and second row water pipe 23.
In the time completing dehydrating operations, controller 52 stops driving washing motor 14 and drain motor 22 by driver element 56, stops all operations of washing machine 1.
In the time that all operations stops, user can open door 25 and take out clothing.

Thus, controller 52 utilizes definite 25 of door switch 30 whether be opened (122).In the situation that door 25 is not opened, the removal that controller 52 is postponed residual water operates until door 25 is opened.
When determine that door 25 is opened in operation 122 time, the door opening time timing (124) of controller 52 opposite houses 25, and determine whether the door opening time of described timing reaches definite very first time (about more than 5 minutes) (126).
There is no past tense when definite very first time in operation 126, controller 52 repeats operation 126.
When determine past tense of the very first time in operation 126, controller 52 drives drain motor 22(128 by driver element 56).
In the time taking out clothing, user touches washtub 12.Thereby washtub 12 rocks.The washtub 12 collision bucket 11 rocking, the water that makes to remain in bucket 11 bottoms is gathered in the water discharge outlet 20 of the foot of bucket 11.
Therefore,, after washing operation completes, in the time that drain motor 22 is driven, the residual water that has moved to water discharge outlet 20 from the bottom periphery of bucket 11 is discharged to outside by first row water pipe 21 and second row water pipe 23.
After this, controller 52 is to the driven time timing of drain motor 22, and determines whether that the second time (more than approximately 3 seconds) of determining passes by (130).
There is no past tense when second time of determining in operation 130, controller 52 repeats operation 130.
When determine past tense of the second time in operation 130, controller 52 stops driving drain motor 22 by driver element 56, and stops residual water removal operation (132).
Hereinafter, provide the description about following content with reference to Fig. 5 A and 5B: detect and be opened or user touches washtub 12 to take out rocking of the washtub 12 that occurs when clothing when door 25, be gathered in the residual water around water discharge outlet 20 with the operation completing and the discharge of all operations of detecting washing machine 1.
