In this step, the laundry treating machine 2 is in a waiting state.
The electronic control unit 13 detects that the porthole door 5 is closed, receives a user's command, locks the door 5, switches from the waiting state to the operating state for starting the laundry treatment cycle selected by the user.
Before commanding the closing of the door-lock switching device 12 and starting the laundry treatment cycle, the electronic control unit 13 closes the switch 16 for energizing the command line 18 with the main voltage V1. The closed switch 16 causes current to be supplied to the motor control unit 23 via the inrush current limiter line 28. Before the door-lock switching device 12 is closed, the current charges the capacitor 23a of the motor control unit 23. This means that when the laundry treatment cycle is actually started, the motor control unit 23 can switch on the electric motor 6 immediately (i.e. without any delay due to the recharging of the capacitor). In other words, the applicant has found that performing the pre-charging of the capacitor 23a of the motor control unit 23, as disclosed above, has the technical effect of reducing the delay of turning on the electric motor 6 for the first time and thus eliminating the delay in the start-up cycle.
Considering the limiter circuit 29 on the inrush current limiter line 28, the risk of damaging the motor control unit 23 during charging of the capacitor 23a is further prevented.
In addition, energization of the command line 18 activates the sensing circuits 14b, 15b, 32 and the heater sense line 26, which can be sensed by the electronic control unit 13.
After the switch 16 has been closed, the electronic control unit 13 may check the sensing signal and determine a malfunction caused by the switches 14a, 15a of the motor-controlled pumps 14, 15, or by the heating device 20, or by the motor control unit 23.
Thereafter, the electronic control unit 13 closes the door lock switching device 12 to energize the door power supply line 11 and starts to perform the laundry treatment cycle.
It should be understood that, at this stage, the laundry treatment machine 1 is in operation, and the electronic control unit 13 controls the switches 14a, 15a, 21, 24 and 34 on the basis of the laundry treatment stage to be carried out.
At the end of the laundry treatment cycle and/or in response to a command, i.e. when the user selects the interrupt/pause command, the laundry treatment machine 1 automatically changes from the operating state to the waiting state.
The laundry treating machine 1 may be changed to the waiting state, and the electronic control unit 13 may execute some control programs, and based on a positive result of the program, control the door-lock switching device 12 to change it from the closed state to the open state, so as to isolate the door power line 11 from the main power line 10 and unlock the door 5. This means that during the waiting state, the loads 20 and 23 connected to the door power line 11 downstream of the door lock switching device 12 are not energized and do not consume power. In fact, when the machine 1 changes from the operating state to the waiting state, its energy consumption is reduced from a high energy consumption to a medium energy consumption.
In case the user does not input a command in the control panel at this time, the laundry treating machine 1 may automatically change from the waiting state to the standby state after a predetermined time.
When the laundry machine 1 changes to the standby state, the electronic control unit 13 switches the switch 16 to the on state. This means that during the standby state, the sensing circuits 14b, 15b, 27, 32, 34 of the laundry treating machine 1 are not energized and do not consume power. In fact, when the machine 1 changes from the waiting state to the standby state, its energy consumption is reduced from a medium energy consumption to a minimum energy consumption lower than the medium energy consumption.
More specifically, the opening of switch 16 during the standby state allows sensing circuits 14b, 15b, heater sense line 26, and inrush current limiter line 28 to be electrically disconnected from main power line 10.
The applicant has found that disconnecting the sensing circuits 14b, 15b, the heater sensing line 26, and the inrush current limiter line 27 from the main power line 10 reduces the minimum energy consumption of the laundry treating machine 1 during the standby state to a value lower than 0.3 watt.
Vice versa, when laundry treatment machine 1 switches from the standby state to the waiting state, electronic control unit 13 closes switch 16 so as to connect power supply line 18 to main power line 10. This means that the sensing circuits 14b, 15b, heater sense line 26, and inrush current limiter line 28 are energized and are newly operating. The switch from the standby state to the waiting state can be operated as soon as a command is input by the user via the control panel 50, preferably by pressing/touching one or more buttons.
The electronic control unit 13 further controls the door-lock switching device 12 so as to switch it from the open state to the closed state, so as to newly supply the main voltage V1 to the door electric power line 11.
In this step, the user can input a start command via the control panel 50. The electronic control unit 13 detects the user's command and starts the laundry treatment cycle.
In this step, the laundry treating machine 1 is changed from the waiting state to the operating state. When the electronic control unit 13 receives a key-off command (i.e., from a user) at the end of the laundry treating course, the electronic control unit turns on the switch 16, and then turns on the door-lock switching device 12.
The invention has the following advantages:
firstly, the presence of the switching device upstream of the door lock switching device makes it possible to obtain an electrical disconnection of all the sensing circuits of the machine from the main power line during standby operation, thus greatly reducing the consumption of the machine.
Furthermore, the motor control unit is electrically connected to the main power line through the inrush current limiter line and through the switching device, and the switching device is conveniently closed before closing the door lock switching device, on the one hand, so that the delay of the switching-on of the motor assembly when the motor assembly is first activated during a laundry treatment session is reduced, and on the other hand, damage to the motor control board and/or the motor electrolytic capacitor is prevented.
However, it is apparent that changes and modifications may be made to the laundry treating machine and the control method without departing from the scope of the present invention.
