Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling a washing machine for the execution of a general purpose cycle.
  • washing machines can be set to different wash programs depending on the characteristics of the laundry to be washed.
  • specific wash cycles can be set for cotton, wool, white, coloured, etc. garments.
  • Document US 2011/099732 A1 discloses a laundry machine that employs a plurality of drum motions by varying drum rotational speed, drum rotational direction, and drum starting and stopping point, to provide different motion of laundry items in the drum.
  • the present invention relates to a method for controlling a washing machine, which comprises:
  • said first speed is comprised between 40 and 50 rpm.
  • the movement duty cycle is comprised between 80% and 90%, said duty cycle being defined by a series of activations/deactivations of said movement, the direction of rotation of the drum being reversed at each deactivation.
  • said second speed is comprised between 40 and 50 rpm.
  • the movement duty cycle is comprised between 93% and 99%, said duty cycle being defined by a series of activations/deactivations of said movement, the direction of rotation of the drum being reversed at each deactivation.
  • said predetermined threshold is comprised between 30°C and 35°C.
  • said second wash step is followed by a spin operation, preferably associated with one or more topping-up operations.
  • the duration of said first step is comprised between 10 and 15 minutes.
  • the duration of said second step is comprised between 10 and 15 minutes.
  • the execution of said wash steps is activated upon reception of a command by means of a dedicated button.
  • FIG. 1 shows a diagram representative of some characteristic parameters of the method according to the invention.
  • the method of the invention aims at executing a wash cycle that can suit different types of garments or textiles in general.
  • the method comprises a first wash step, wherein the wash water is gradually warmed up and the drum is moved in rotation at a first speed.
  • the water is heated to a temperature comprised between 28°C and 32 °C.
  • the first speed is comprised between 40 and 50 rpm.
  • the time duration of the first wash step is comprised between 10 and 15 minutes.
  • the purpose of the first wash step is to facilitate the action of one or more cleansing substances present in the water.
  • the mechanical and thermal action to which the laundry is subjected during this first step is rather mild, and is substantially aimed at promoting the chemical action exerted by the detergent.
  • the method of the invention also provides for the execution of a second wash step, following said first wash step.
  • the water temperature is kept above a predetermined threshold and the drum is moved in rotation at a second speed.
  • the minimum water temperature threshold is set to a value comprised between 30°C to 35°C.
  • the second speed is comprised between 40 and 50 rpm.
  • the duration of the second wash step is comprised between 10 and 15 minutes.
  • the purpose of the second wash step is to exert a stronger mechanical cleaning action on the laundry, so that the dirt, which was subjected to chemical etching in the first wash step, can be completely removed.
  • the second wash step is followed by a spin operation, which may be preferably and advantageously associated with one or more water topping-up operations in the drum.
  • the spin may comprise one or more pulses at a first speed, e.g. comprised between 500 rpm and 700 rpm, followed by one or more pulses at a faster speed, e.g. comprised between 700 rpm and 900 rpm.
  • the cycle thus executed may have a total duration of 45 to 50 minutes, e.g. substantially equal to 50 minutes.
  • the direction of rotation of the drum is reversed at each deactivation of the rotation.
  • the movement duty cycle is comprised between 93% and 99%, said duty cycle being defined by a series of activations/deactivations of said movement, the direction of rotation of the drum being reversed at each deactivation.
  • said duty cycle may consist of a series of steps wherein the drum is moved in rotation for approx. 28 seconds and is then kept substantially still for approx. 1 second. In this case, the duty cycle is substantially equal to approx. 96%.
  • the direction of rotation of the drum is reversed at each deactivation of the rotation.
  • the cycle implemented through the method according to the invention can be activated by pressing a dedicated button advantageously fitted to the washing machine.
  • the washing machine may include an additional button specifically dedicated to the activation of the above-described cycle.
  • said dedicated button may be configured for:
  • the cycle executed through the method of the invention may be included among the various cycles selectable by the user through traditional controls.
  • Figure 1 shows, by way of example, a number of graphs representative of the execution of the method according to the invention.
  • the axis of abscissas represents time, whereas the axis of ordinates represents the water consumption of the machine (A), the electric power drawn by the machine (B), the temperature of the wash water (C) and the revolution speed of the drum (D).
  • the first wash step is designated F1
  • the second wash step is designated F2.
  • the temperature rises gradually, and the revolution speed is slow.
  • the temperature is kept above the predetermined minimum value, and the revolution speed is considerably increased.
