Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing machine with self-cleaning feature.
  • the aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine wherein it is effectively detected if there is any load in the drum at the beginning of the self-cleaning program.
  • the washing machine realized in order to attain the aim of the present invention, explicated in the claims, comprises a control unit providing to detect if there is any load in the drum at the beginning of the self-cleaning program.
  • the control unit checks three conditions in order to determine if there is any load in the drum, and if the control unit receives data stating that there is no load, it starts the self-cleaning program, if not, it does not realize the self-cleaning program and warns the user.
  • the control unit controls if there is any load that has water-absorption feature in the drum, controls if there is any unbalanced load in the drum and controls if there is any balanced load in the drum. If load is detected in at least one control, the control unit stops the self-cleaning program. The said controls are realized in any order.
  • the washing machine of the present invention is operated by the control unit according to a method comprising the steps below: taking water in until the water level in the tub reaches the level that dampens the laundry without the laundry being saturated by opening the valve; measuring the pressure by the pressure sensor; rotating the drum by controlling the motor; measuring the pressure again by the pressure sensor after the drum is rotated; stopping the self-cleaning program after deciding that there is load in the drum if the second pressure value is lower than the first pressure value.
  • the washing machine of the present invention is operated by the control unit according to a method comprising the steps below: discharging the water, if there is any water in the tub; rotating the drum by means of the motor at a speed predetermined by the producer and recorded in the memory thereof, lower than the resonance speed; detecting the unbalanced load; stopping the self-cleaning program if the detected unbalanced load is bigger than the unbalanced load value predetermined by the producer and recorded in the memory thereof.
  • the washing machine of the present invention is operated by the control unit according to a method comprising the steps below: rotating the drum by means of the motor at least at a speed whereat the load is provided to stick onto the inner wall of the drum; stopping the motor; detecting the stopping time of the motor; stopping the self-cleaning program if the stopping time of the motor is lower than the stopping time predetermined by the producer and recorded in the memory thereof.
  • control unit firstly controls if there is any load that has water-absorption feature in the drum, secondly controls if there is any unbalanced load in the drum and thirdly controls if there is any balanced load in the drum, in that order. If load is detected at any stage, the self-cleaning program is stopped.
  • load is provided to be detected precisely and without error before the starting of the self-cleaning program.
  • the load in the drum is detected by the control unit, even if it is balanced or unbalanced, or it absorbs water or not.
  • Figure 1 – is the schematic view of a washing machine.
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention that has self-cleaning feature comprises a drum (2) wherein the laundry to be washed is placed and a control unit (7) processing the self-cleaning program ( Figure 1).
  • control unit (7) checks three conditions in order to determine if there is any load in the drum (2), and if the control unit (7) receives data stating that there is no load in the whole, it starts the self-cleaning program, if not, it does not realize the self-cleaning program and warns the user.
  • control unit (7) controls if there is any load that has water-absorption feature in the drum (2), controls if there is any unbalanced load in the drum (2) and controls if there is any balanced load in the drum (2). If load is detected in at least one control, the self-cleaning program is stopped. The said controls are realized in any order.
  • the washing machine (1) furthermore comprises a tub (3) wherein the drum (2) is placed, a valve (4) providing water intake by opening/closing the water line, a pressure sensor (5) detecting the pressure applied by the water taken into the tub (3) and a motor (6) rotating the drum (2).
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention is operated by the control unit (7) according to a method comprising the steps below:
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention is operated by the control unit (7) according to a method comprising the steps below:
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention is operated by the control unit (7) according to a method comprising the steps below:
  • control unit (7) firstly controls if there is any load that has water-absorption feature in the drum (2), secondly controls if there is any unbalanced load in the drum (2) and thirdly controls if there is any balanced load in the drum (2), in that order. If load is detected at any stage, the self-cleaning program is stopped.
  • the self-cleaning program when the self-cleaning program is started by the control unit (7), it is detected if there is load that has water-absorption feature in the drum (2), if there is unbalanced load and if there is balanced load; if load is detected, the self-cleaning program is stopped.
