Abstract

Um eine Waschmaschine umfassend eine feststehende Außentrommel (14) und eine in der Außentrommel angeordnete Innentrommel (30), die durch einen Antrieb rotierend relativ zur Außentrommel antreibbar ist, sowie eine Steuerung, welche während eines Waschvorgangs den Antrieb (34) derart ansteuert, dass dieser die Innentrommel (30) in entgegengesetzten Drehrichtungen dreht, wobei die Innentrommel bei einer Drehbewegung in jeder der Drehrichtungen mindestens einen Drehzyklus (DZ) durchläuft, der eine Beschleunigungsphase (BP), eine Wäscheumwälzphase (WP) und eine Abbremsphase (AP) umfasst, derart zu verbessern, dass eine verbesserte Ausnutzung der Waschflotte möglich ist, so dass das Volumen der Waschflotte bezogen auf eine vorgegebene Wäschemenge reduziert werden kann, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die Steuerung die Innentrommel (30) während der Wäscheumwälzphase (WP) mindestens eine Turbulenzphase (TP) durchlaufen lässt, in der eine Drehgeschwindigkeit der Innentrommel um mehr als 5% von einem durch Mittelung über die gesamte Wäscheumwälzphase ermittelnden Mittelwert (M) der Drehgeschwindigkeit abweicht.

To a washing machine comprising a fixed outer drum (14) and arranged in the outer drum inner drum (30) which is drivable by a drive rotating relative to the outer drum, and a controller which controls the drive (34) during a washing operation such that this the inner drum (30) rotates in opposite directions of rotation, wherein the inner drum undergoes at least one rotational cycle (DZ) comprising one of an acceleration phase (BP), a laundry circulation phase (WP) and a deceleration phase (AP), in one of the rotational directions improve that an improved utilization of the wash liquor is possible, so that the volume of the wash liquor can be reduced based on a predetermined amount of laundry, it is proposed that the control the inner drum (30) during the Wäschumwälzphase (WP) at least one turbulence phase (TP) lets in which a rotational speed of the inner drum by more than 5% of averaging over the entire Wäschumwälzphase determining average (M) deviates from the rotational speed.
