Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling the speed of a rotating drum of a horizontal axis washing machine comprising a step in which the load of the laundry is estimated or measured.
  • the present invention relates to a horizontal washing machine adapted to carry out such method as well.
  • horizontal axis washing machine we mean every appliance in which the rotating drum is mounted with a substantially horizontal axis; therefore washing machines with a slanted axis of rotation are comprised in the above definition.
  • JP 2004236704 discloses a washing machine in which the drum is rotated slowly for performing soaking when wash eater is present in the drum, and at high speed for performing tumbling when wash water is drained from the drum.
  • One of the most relevant features of the method according to the invention is to increase the efficiency during the tumbling phase of the washing process in a horizontal axis washing machine by changing dynamically the reference speed of the drum.
  • the main benefits of the invention are a higher mechanical action and so reduced time for washing (and energy) and maximization of the motor efficiency having an equal mechanical action and time but saving energy.
  • the adaptive speed control has the target to consider two main metrics, i.e. the mechanical action exerted upon the load and the motor efficiency.
  • the output of the control logic is the magnitude A of the reference speed signal of a single base tumbling cycle, where in a first part of the cycle the drum speed A is clockwise and in a second part of such cycle the speed A is counterclockwise (or vice versa).
  • the mechanical power can be estimated or measured from motor in different ways.
  • the fire angle or the motor current can be converted to torque and then to mechanical power by using a look-up table or observer.
  • the mechanical action trend has different shape. For example, for a full load (8 kg), the amount of mechanical action that can be generated is quite small, whatever speed you set. Otherwise, for a small load the variation of mechanical action can be very important against a little change of the rotation speed.
  • Figure 3 shows a similar analysis done for electrical motor power required against speed and load size. Typically the higher is the speed the higher is the efficiency of the motor.
  • the graphs of figure 3 show curves for universal motor used in an 8 kg machine with different loads.
  • the algorithm according to the invention starts selecting an initial tumbling speed by using a predicted or calculated dry load mass and a look-up table.
  • the benefits due to the speed variation are shown in Error! Reference source not found.. More in details, the energy consumption of two different tests with the same configuration for all the parameters are illustrated. The first one refers to standard control logic, i.e. with a fixed tumbling speed, while the second one refers to the adaptive logic according to the invention.
