  • control section 24 closes feed-water valve 8 and stops water supply.
  • the first water supply step is followed by the first agitation washing step.
  • the first agitation washing step is performed for predetermined time T1.
  • the first agitation washing step is performed while first on-off valve 15 is being opened and second on-off valve 20 and drainage water valve 16 are being closed.
  • First circulation pump 12 is used to suck the washing water in water tub 2 from suction section 13 into first circulating water path 11 and is discharged from discharge section 14 to the laundry in drum 3.
  • the rotating speed of drum 3 is set so that the laundry is raised by baffle 4 provided in drum 3 along the rotation direction of drum 3 and is dropped by its weight from the upper side of drum 3 and the mechanical action during drop is effectively applied to the laundry.
  • the rotating speed of drum 3 is set to such a rotating speed that prevents the laundry from clinging by a centrifugal force to the side wall face of the inner circumference of drum 3 (e.g., 30 to 60rpm).
  • the rotating speed of drum 3 depends on the amount of laundry, the rotating speed of drum 3 is preferably 50rpm. As shown in FIG. 3 , drum 3 is repeatedly rotated in alternate forward and reverse directions.
  • Predetermined time T1 of the first agitation washing step is set to 6 minutes for example. Predetermined time T1 is set so that the laundry is sufficiently wet with washing water and predetermined time T1 is longer than predetermined time T2 of the subsequent high-speed rotation step and predetermined time T3 of the second agitation washing step.

  • Discharge section 14 may be provided at the lower part of opening section 6 provided at the front face-side of drum 3 or also may be provided so that washing water flows into drum 3 while flowing along the circumference wall face of drum 3. When drum 3 is rotated during the discharge of washing water, the relative displacement of the laundry can be promoted in drum 3, thus uniformly wetting the laundry.

  • the rotating speed of drum 3 in the high-speed rotation step rotating speed is set to 100 to 400rpm and preferably 300rpm for example so that the washing water included in the laundry can be forcedly discharged by a centrifugal force.

  • this high-speed rotation step is performed at least one time in the washing step, this high-speed rotation step is preferably performed a plurality of times, preferably in a continuous manner.
  • the high-speed rotation step also causes the washing water to be discharged to the laundry in drum 3.
  • the washing water having flowed from water tub 2 to the interior of water storage section 18 by the gravity is continuously discharged by second circulation pump 22 to the laundry in drum 3.
  • predetermined time T2 is set so that drum 3 is rotated at a high speed for a longer time depending on the amount of the laundry inputted to the interior of drum 3 that is determined by cloth amount sensing section 80.
  • a higher amount of laundry means an increased amount of washing water included in the laundry.
  • a higher amount of laundry means an increased thickness of the laundry layered in drum 3 (i.e., the distance from the surface of the laundry to through holes 5 provided in the inner circumference side face of drum 3).
  • a higher amount of laundry means that a longer time is required for the washing water to go through the fibers to enter water tub 2 via through holes 5.
  • predetermined time T2 is set as described above.
  • Table 1 shows the amount of the laundry inputted to the interior of drum 3 and the time of the high-speed rotation step. Predetermined time T2 for the high-speed rotation is set in a range from 30 seconds to 120 seconds depending on the amount of the laundry. [Table 1] Amount of laundry Time of high-speed rotation step Lower than 2kg 30s 2kg or more and lower than 4.5kg 45s 4.5kg or more and lower than 6kg 60s 6kg or more 120s
  • washing water included in laundry can be removed from the laundry by a centrifugal force by the high-speed rotation. Furthermore, the washing water including dissolved dirt also can be effectively removed from the fibers. Since predetermined time T2 for the high-speed rotation of drum 3 is set to be longer with an increase of the amount of laundry, the dirt substance in fibers can be effectively removed together with washing water.
  • the second water supply step is started.
  • second circulation pump 22 is driven to discharge the washing water in water storage section 18 to the laundry in drum 3 via second circulating water path 21.
  • first on-off valve 15, second on-off valve 20, and drainage water valve 16 are closed to collect the washing water at bottom part of water tub 2.
  • first on-off valve 15 is opened and drainage water valve 16 and second on-off valve 20 are closed to thereby allow first circulation pump 12 to communicate with water tub 2. Thereafter, first circulation pump 12 is driven. Then, the washing water collected at the bottom part of water tub 2 is sucked through first circulation pump 12 and is discharged from discharge section 14 into drum 3 via first circulating water path 11. During this, drum 3 is rotated at such a rotation number that allows the laundry to tumble in the drum 3 without clinging to the circumference-side wall face. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3 , drum 3 is repeatedly rotated at 50rpm in alternate forward and reverse directions.
  • the fibers of the laundry is allowed to again include thereamong the washing water including dissolved detergent.
  • the dirt substance remaining in the fibers can be peeled off. If the fibers include thereamong washing water including a dirt substance of a high concentration, a risk is caused where the dirt substance may be attached to the fibers again. However, the dirt substance can be suppressed from being attached to the fibers again by forcedly substituting the washing water among the fibers.
  • the first agitation washing step that is firstly performed among the above-described washing steps is carried out for predetermined time T1 that is set to be longer than predetermined time T2 for the high-speed rotation step to rotate drum 3 at a high-speed and to be longer than predetermined time T3 for the second agitation washing step performed after the high-speed rotation step.
  • predetermined time T1 for the first agitation washing step and predetermined time T3 for the second agitation washing step have a relation of T1>T3.
  • the first agitation washing step can provide an effective cleaning effect by being performed for a time longer than the time for an agitation washing performed at another timing (the second agitation washing step).
  • the present invention is not limited to the above illustrative number of the high-speed rotation step in the washing step to rotate drum 3 at a high speed.
  • the high-speed rotation step is preferably performed a plurality of times because this means an increased number of substitution of washing water.
  • the high-speed rotation step may be performed continuously or the high-speed rotation steps also may be performed discontinuously to include thereamong a step such as an agitation washing step.
  • the laundry washing step causes first circulation pump 12 to be driven to circulate the washing water in water tub 2 into drum 3. Then, the processing proceeds to the low-speed rotation for allowing the laundry to tumble in drum 3 (i.e., for preventing the laundry from clinging to the inner circumference face of drum 3) and the high-speed rotation for allowing the laundry to cling to the inner circumference face of drum 3. Furthermore, the time for the low-speed rotation of drum 3 (i.e., the first agitation washing step) that is firstly performed is set to be longer than the time for another low-speed rotation (i.e., the time for the second agitation washing step) and the time for the high-speed rotation step. As a result, the permeation of the washing water in the laundry and the removal of the dirt substance among the fibers can be carried out effectively. Thus, uneven washing can be reduced and a cleaning effect can be improved within a limited time for the washing step.
  • the time for the low-speed rotation of drum 3 i.e., the first agitation washing
  • the washing water in water tub 2 is caused to flow into water storage section 18 and second circulation pump 22 is driven to circulate the washing water in water storage section 18 into drum 3.
  • a centrifugal force obtained by the high-speed rotation of drum 3 can be used to remove the washing water including dissolved dirt from the fibers.
  • the washing water among the fibers can be substituted continuously while wetting the laundry.
  • a cleaning effect can be improved and the lower part of drum 3 immersed in the washing water in water tub 2 can be allowed to exposed out of the water surface of the washing water.
  • the resistance by the washing water during the high-speed rotation can be excluded to thereby reduce the load applied to motor 7, thus allowing drum 3 to smoothly rotate at a high speed.
  • Drum-type washing machine 70 has the same configuration as that of drum-type washing machine 50 described in the first embodiment. However, a difference therebetween is that the operation performed by control section 34 is different from the one performed by control section 24 of drum-type washing machine 50.
  • the components having the same configuration will be denoted with the same reference numerals and the detailed description of such components is the same as that in the first embodiment.
  • FIG. 4 is a time chart illustrating the operation in the washing step of drum-type washing machine 70 in the second embodiment of the present invention.
  • Drum-type washing machine 70 of this embodiment is configured so that, in the first agitation washing step of the laundry washing step, second on-off valve 20 (on-off valve) is opened during the low-speed rotation of drum 3 to start the water drainage from water tub 2 and, when the lower part of drum 3 is above the water surface, the high-speed rotation step is started.
  • second on-off valve 20 on-off valve
  • Predetermined time T4 is set to a time required from the opening of second on-off valve 20 through the decline of the water level of the washing water in water tub 2 to a predetermined depth.
  • time T4 is set to a time required from the opening of second on-off valve 20 until the lowest point on the circumference located in a predetermined distance from the bottom plane of drum 3 moves to a position above the water surface.
  • the flow of the washing water to water storage section 18 can be started.
  • the high-speed rotation step can be started.
  • the resistance by the washing water collected at the bottom part of water tub 2 can be excluded when the first agitation washing step shifts to the high-speed rotation step.
  • the load applied to motor 7 to rotate drum 3 at a high speed can be reduced and the torque can be reduced and the washing step can be performed efficiently.
  • a disadvantage also can be solved where the washing water collected at the bottom part of water tub 2 is agitated and foamed by drum 3 to thereby hindering the rotation number of drum 3 from increasing.
  • Another configuration also can be used where, by sensing the water level of the washing water collected in water tub 2, the water level is sensed at which the lowest point on the circumference located in a predetermined distance from the bottom plane of drum 3 is exposed out of the washing water collected in water tub 2 to thereby start the high-speed rotation step.
  • the circulation amount of the washing water in water storage section 18 by second circulation pump 22 can be increased to thereby cause the water level in water tub 2 to fall, thus allowing the lower part of drum 3 to be exposed out of the washing water collected in water tub 2.
  • First circulation pump 12 also may be used. In this case, second circulating water path 21, first circulating water path 11, or both of second circulating water path 21 and first circulating water path 11 are filled with the washing water. This can substantially reduce the amount of the washing water existing in water tub 2.
  • drum-type washing machines 50 and 70 also can be applied to a drum-type wash dryer having a dry function.
  • the time for the first beat washing is increased for which the highest amount of dirt is strongly attached to laundry. This allows, during the subsequent high-speed rotation step, more dirt to be removed from the fibers of the clothes. This also allows, during the subsequent beat washing step, dirt remaining in the fibers of the clothes to be already peeled off by the chemical action by the washing water and the mechanical action by the beat washing. As a result, dirt can be removed from the fibers within a shorter time. Thus, the washing performance can be improved within a limited short time.
  • Drum-type washing machine 50 having a rating capacity of 9kg as described in the first embodiment of the present invention was compared with a conventional method. Specifically, comparison was made for the case where time T1 for the first agitation washing step was longer than time T3 for the second agitation washing step in the washing step.
