Fig. 3 is used at the calcspar of automatic washing machine by chemical solution processing such as the embodiment of a method of the present invention of the fabric of clothes.In beginning step 100, fabric washing load is placed into the wash basket 28 of automatic washing machine.Next, in step 105, make wash bucket 12 be full of chemical solution, in step 110, clear water added wash bucket 12 subsequently.Can make wash bucket 12 be full of chemical solution by the any-mode that chemical solution is imported wash bucket 12, can be applied to fabric washing load by pump 23 at wash bucket 12 place's chemical solutions.In one embodiment, chemical solution is placed in the wash bucket 12, and can the contact fabric wash load.In one approach, chemical solution can be poured wash basket 28 into by the consumer, and it can flow through the perforation in wash basket 28 and enter wash bucket 12.Clear water can similarly be imported into wash basket 28.In another approach, chemical solution can be poured chemical dispensers into, and for example detergent dispenser 63, and the chemical solution in distributor can directly flow into wash bucket 12, and can the contact fabric wash load.Clear water can similarly add wash bucket 12 by opening valve 62 to by distributor 63.Yet, be used for placing can in this step, using of chemical solution and clear water in any means known in the art at wash bucket 12.
Term " chemical solution " refers to be used for to clean any kind at the chemicals cleaning solution of the fabric of automatic washing machine as used herein.Chemical solution includes but not limited to cleaning agent, the pre-dilution of fabric, bleaching agent, fabric softener, and other any known chemical solutions that maybe will find that are used to the cleaning of the fabric strengthening staining.Chemical solution also comprises chemicals that the form with liquid provides and with chemicals form, that be liquefied subsequently, suspend or dissolve of drying in the liquid the same such as water.
Term " concentrated chemical solution " points to those above-mentioned chemical solutions with undiluted form as used herein, and by the chemical solution such as the diluted of water.Term " concentrated chemical solution " replacedly refers to the chemical solution that uses than under the big situation of the concentration of normally using in the fabric washing process of standard.
When chemical solution was cleaning agent, concentrated detergent solution generally included the mixture of water and cleaning agent, and in mixture, cleaning agent exists with about 0.5% amount that changes in about 4% the scope with regard to weight.Being present in the amount that concentrates the cleaning agent in the detergent solution can be greater than about 4wt%.
In the step 120 of Fig. 3, wash basket 28 rotates with the wash bucket of fixing 12 with the slow-speed of revolution relevantly or circles round.When wash basket 26 rotated with the slow-speed of revolution, highly enriched chemical solution put on the fabric washing load of holding in wash basket 28.The amount that is applied to the chemical solution of fabric washing load in step 120 can rise to all in fact chemical solutions that can get from the part of the weight that can get wash bucket 12 in wash bucket 21.The amount of the chemical solution that applies in step 120 can be controlled in one embodiment, promptly utilize pump to apply chemical solution to fabric load with known constant volume feeding speed, and order about pump at preset time, thereby the chemical solution that applies the budget amount is to fabric washing load.In another embodiment, wash bucket 12 holds chemical solution and water, thereby forms the chemical solution that concentrates.In this embodiment, wash bucket 12 holds the concentrating chemical goods solution of known scheduled volume.Pump 23 with known flow rate was driven in predetermined a period of time, and during preset time, all concentrating chemical goods solution that can get are applied to fabric washing load in fact.All chemical solutions that concentrate that can get refer to the total amount of the chemical solution in wash bucket 28 in fact, and it is less than must prevent that pump 23 from finding time and lose the total amount of the concentrating chemical goods solution of suction in the application stage of chemical solution.
The chemical solution that concentrates can be by being applied to fabric washing load at any-mode known in the art, thereby apply cleaning solution to the fabric that holds in wash basket.In one approach, the chemical solution that concentrates is directed to the same nozzle of nozzle 32 of Fig. 2 for example by pump 23, thus the chemical solution that concentrates can be directly from a bit being sprayed onto on the fabric washing load on the wash load.
In step 120, wash basket 28 preferably rotates with the slow-speed of revolution within the predetermined time.Term " slow-speed of revolution " refers to the rotary speed of wash basket, and with such speed, chemical solution can be applied to fabric washing load, thereby does not have chemical solution to isolate from fabric washing load in fact.In another embodiment, the slow-speed of revolution is the speed that the centrifugal force (being less than 1GPa) that is lower than a gravity is applied to fabric load.
In step 120, wash basket 28 is with slow-speed of revolution rotation a period of time.Preset time section normally during this period of time, preset time section are the run duration setting of washing machine and formation integral body that be the washing machine control program is necessary.In one embodiment of the invention, the preset time section can rely on the fabric load size (such as little or big), load type (such as exquisite or COTTON FABRIC) of appointment and/or be changed by the wash cycle of washing machine user appointment.In the preset time section, wash basket 28 is low speed rotation, preset time section and step 120 usually from about 1 second of minimum of a value to the about 60 seconds scope of maximum, replacedly, from about 1 second to about 20 seconds narrower range.Predetermined amount of time depends on such as specified value on circulating pump flow rate and the factor of performance etc. of surveying the pressure frequency converter of low liquid level can be greater than or less than.
In the step 120 of Fig. 3, the application of concentrating chemical goods solution can be interrupted before the wash basket rotary speed accelerates to high rotating speed from the slow-speed of revolution, and perhaps it can interrupt soon at boost phase or after boost phase is finished.Preferably the concentrating chemical goods solution in step 120 interrupted before the slow-speed of revolution accelerates to high rotating speed to the wash basket 28 that is applied in of fabric washing load.
In the step 130 of Fig. 3, the application that concentrates detergent solution is interrupted, and the wash basket rotary speed is increased to high rotating speed, and keeps high rotating speed in the preset time section.A purpose that is in the wash basket 28 of high-revolving rotation will be separated at interstitial chemical solution some exactly from fabric washing load.In addition, high rotating speed makes wash load move to the peripheral wall of wash basket 28, thereby allows that the chemical solution on the fabric outermost layer that is arranged in wash basket moves into the fabric load layer of the wall of close wash basket 28.For the present invention, term " high rotating speed " meaning is to apply the rotary speed that arrives fabric washing load greater than the centrifugal force of 1Gpa.Replacedly, term " high rotating speed " is instigated to such an extent that at least some chemical solutions move to the rotary speed of fabric washing load like that shown in Fig. 6 C.
Wash basket 28 rotates with high rotating speed in the preset time section, and this preset time section usually is the essential time of realizing above-mentioned high-revolving one or more targets.Generally speaking, wash basket 28 with the predetermined amount of time of high rotating speed rotation from about 1 second to about 180 seconds scope, perhaps, replacedly from about 5 seconds to about 30 seconds scope.In step 140, in case arrive the preset time section, the wash basket rotary speed is reduced to the slow-speed of revolution again.
The step 150 of Fig. 3 is selectable steps, and wherein fabric washing load is estimated, thereby whether decision fabric load will soak with chemical solution.Step 150 can neglect in the process shown in Fig. 4 fully, and in this case, step 110,120,130 and 140 can repeat as in the predetermined times as shown in the step 160 of Fig. 4, and soaks irrelevant with the fabric that causes thus.Predetermined times can be on the basis of one or more washing parameters of selecting such as users such as the temperature of the fabric type of being washed, water, load sizes decision and enroll program in advance.In the embodiment of the Fig. 4 that does not have terminal test, when in the step 160 of washing process (in Fig. 5, schematically showing) beginning, the finishing for the last time of the predetermined number of occurrence, loop ends.
If process comprises terminal test step 150 really, fabric washing load is estimated so, has arrived when being used for judging before selecting last process steps terminal point.Can estimate terminal point by several different methods.For example when the detergent solution that concentrates that does not have to get is applied to fabric washing load, necessarily arrived terminal point.Replacedly, by measuring such as procedure parameters such as wash basket motor load, pump load, in case related operating parameter with the immersion degree of fabric washing load, thus can estimate terminal point.In Fig. 3 and 4, when arriving repeatedly terminal point or appropriate number of times, exposure subsequently and the washing step of Fig. 5 begin.In Fig. 3, if do not reach home, then repeating step 110,120,130 and 140.In Fig. 4, if do not finish repeatedly, then repeating step 110,120,130 and 140.
In some cases, fabric washing load may be soaked by chemical solution of no use after the predetermined number of occurrence is finished.Perhaps, replacedly, there are not or do not have enough chemical solutions to be retained in the wash bucket 28, so that be applied to fabric washing load, even the predetermined number of occurrence of step 160 does not also satisfy.The high rotating speed of slow-speed of revolution step 120,130 and 140 second or subsequently repeatedly in, water may add in step 110 in the wash bucket 28, thus the liquid level of rising wash bucket is to detectable at least position.In case reach the MIN minimum detectable position of solution, the water that adds wash bucket to stops, chemical solution (not having diluted) is applied to fabric washing load, and wash basket rotates with the slow-speed of revolution in applying step 120 according to above-mentioned method.
In one embodiment of the invention, chemical solution is a detergent solution, and it is used for pretreating fabrics, thereby improves the easy scale removal in common washing process.In this embodiment, in case the tested back decision of fabric washing load is soaked, or in case arrive step 120,130 and 140 pre-determined number repeatedly in the step 160 of Fig. 4, step shown in Figure 5 begins.
In the step 240 of Fig. 5, fabric washing load is allowed with detergent solution to keep in touch predetermined open-assembly time.In open-assembly time, fabric washing load is exposed to stain and the interactional chemical solution of dust in fabric washing load.Open-assembly time is played the stain of pre-cleaning in fabric washing load and the effect of dust, thereby conveniently removes them in washing step subsequently.This follows, and to apply the preliminary treatment cleaning solution before fabric is packed automatic washing machine into similar to the fabric.Yet in situation of the present invention, automatic washing machine self is carried out the preliminary treatment of fabric, and does not need people's intervention.Predetermined open-assembly time arrived about 15 minutes scope usually at about 1 minute.The wash basket that comprises fabric washing load generally keeps static during step 240.Yet wash basket 28 selectively rotates with low or high rotating speed in this open-assembly time continuously or discontinuously.
In step 250, in case reach the duration of predetermined exposure, the clear water of scheduled volume enters wash bucket.The scheduled volume of clear water is enough to fill up with enough water the amount of wash bucket 12, thereby can be stirred in the fabric washing load in the water-filled automatic washing machine in normal washing process.In step 260, stir the fabric washing load of being soaked with one section preset time, after this, in step 270, detergent solution is rinsed from load, thereby finishes preliminary treatment and fabric washing step.
Fig. 6 A-6C is the schematic chart of several steps of the embodiment of process of the present invention.In Fig. 6 A, fabric load is arranged in the wash basket with holes 28 that connects wash bucket 12.Chemicals imports wash bucket by distributor 170.Wash mill can comprise the one or more distributors that are used for chemicals is added to washing machine.Water enters wash bucket 12 by distributor 170 then, thereby fills wash bucket to minimum detectable liquid level." minimum detectable liquid level " preferably utilizes the pressure frequency converter to survey, and it is defined as the minimum liquid level in wash bucket that frequency converter can be surveyed.When detecting minimum detectable liquid level, allow that the valve that adds water to distributor 170 cuts out.
In Fig. 6 B, be approximately the wash basket of 500mm for diameter, wash basket 28 is with the slow-speed of revolution rotation of about 25rpm.Chemical solution is extracted out from wash bucket 12 by pump 23, enters pipeline 172, flows out then towards the hydro-peening nozzle 176 of fabric washing load direct solution.The slow-speed of revolution is not enough to force chemical solution axially to arrive fabric washing load, therefore because the gravity chemical solution permeates fabric washing load, shown in the line 179 of Fig. 6 B.The recirculation chemical solution, and within the predetermined time it is applied to fabric washing load, so just can not cause pump cavitation.Preset time is to know that frequency converter for the minimum detectable water level of surveying wash bucket is thereby that the volume of necessary cleaning solution and the volume knowing the pump flow rate and need be retained in the cleaning solution that prevents pump cavitation in the wash bucket 12 are prerequisite.
In Fig. 6 C, chemical solution stops fabric washing load hydro-peening, and its wash basket 28 is with the high rotating speed rotation of about 280rpm.High rotating speed causes at least a portion chemical solution axial migration, by fabric washing load, shown in the line 178 of Fig. 6 C.In most cases, rely on the size of fabric washing load, some chemical solutions break away from from fabric washing load, and migration back, enter wash bucket 28.Can repeat several times in the step shown in Fig. 6 A-6C.In step subsequently, the chemicals of interpolation or water can add in the wash bucket.Yet in the embodiment of most of processes, only clear water can be added into wash bucket 28, so that improve the wash bucket water level in minimum at least detectable position 180.
