Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for controlling a two-tub washing machine.

Conventional Technology Microcomputer The development of so-called microcomputers has made it easier to control the water flow in washing machines, making it possible to wash delicate items such as wool and lingerie.
In a two-tub type washing machine, the operating settings for the washing tub for washing and rinsing, and the dehydration tub for spin-drying are made separately, and in the washing tub, the water flow, washing time, and rinsing are adjusted according to the type and quality of the laundry.

An operation program is selected and executed according to the amount of water, and in the dehydration tank, a dehydration time is set and executed independently of the operation program.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional control method described above, even if the washing tub selects and executes an optimal operation program corresponding to the laundry, the dehydration tank again selects and executes the optimal operation program corresponding to the laundry. It was difficult to use because it required setting the dehydration operation.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, and aims to provide a method for controlling a two-tub washing machine that is easy to use.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the method for controlling a two-tub washing machine of the present invention executes water flow, washing time and rinsing operations according to an operation program stored in a storage means. If the spin-drying tub starts operating within a predetermined time after the washing tub operation program ends, the spin-drying rotation speed and spin time of the spin-drying tub are set according to the washing tub operation program, and spin-drying is performed. be.

Operation According to the above control method, after executing an operation program corresponding to the laundry in the washing tub, if the laundry is transferred from the washing tub to the spin-drying tub and the spin-drying operation is started within a predetermined time, the above-mentioned operation is executed. The spin speed and spin time are set according to the program, eliminating the need to set new settings for each type of laundry, improving usability.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the method for controlling a two-tub washing machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an input circuit consisting of operation switches, and this input circuit 1 is used to select settings according to the type, quantity, and quality of laundry. The output signal of this input circuit 1 is input to a control circuit 2 consisting of a so-called microcomputer. By the output signal of this control circuit 2, the ROM, R
Reading or writing is performed in a memory circuit 3 consisting of an AM, and the operation of an output circuit 4 that controls driving means such as a motor for rotationally driving a washing tub and a dehydrating tub, a water supply valve, etc. is performed.

Next, the operation of the washing tub and the operation of the dehydration tub have the relationship shown in FIG. 5 to 1o indicate the operation of the washing tub, and 11 to 1o indicate the operation of the washing tub.
13 shows the operation of the dehydration tank. Here, we will explain the case of hand washing, standard washing, and heavy washing in succession.

For delicate laundry items such as wool and lingerie,
Select hand washing course 5 and wash and rinse with gentle water. The amount of water and operation time for washing and rinsing are changed by changing the settings of the input circuit 1 depending on the degree of dirtiness and appearance of the laundry. An operation program is read out from the storage circuit 3 in response to input to the input circuit 1 and controls the operation of the motor and the like. After the operation program is completed, input settings are made to transfer the laundry in the washing tub to the spin-drying tub and drive the spin-dry tub within a certain period of pause 6.
The dehydration tank is configured to execute a dehydration tank operation program 11 corresponding to a hand-washing course with a low dehydration rotation speed and a short dehydration time, which corresponds to the operation program set in hand-washing course 5.

Next, when washing general laundry such as shirts, select standard course 7 of the washing tub operation program and perform washing and rinsing.

After the washing tub operation program is completed, the laundry in the washing tub is transferred to the dewatering tub within a certain period of time during pause 8.

When the input circuit 1 is operated to start the operation of the dehydration tank, dehydration is executed at the dehydration rotation speed and dehydration time corresponding to the standard course 12. When washing large items such as sheets or thick items such as jeans, select large item course 9, wash and rinse, and then operate the spin-drying tank to start operating within a certain period of 1°. Then, dehydration corresponding to the big game course 13 with a high dehydration rotation speed and a long dehydration time is executed. It should be noted that even if the above-mentioned operation is performed beyond the fixed time of the pauses 6 and 8 and the end 10, it will be ignored.

FIG. 3 is a front view of an operation panel according to an embodiment of the present invention for controlling a two-tub washing machine. an automatic course setting section 14 that sets operation programs for the large-sized course, standard course, and hand-washing course stored in the memory circuit 3; The machine is comprised of a selection setting section 15 that changes the three operations to perform washing and rinsing, and a spin setting section 16 that allows you to set the spin time and spin operation. The above-mentioned setting sections 14, 15, and 18 are operated to input from the input circuit 1, and the operation program stored in the storage circuit 3 is called from the control circuit 2 and executed. When the dehydration setting section 16 is operated once within the period of pause 6.8 and end 10, it performs dehydration corresponding to each course described above, and when this time is exceeded, the dehydration setting section 18 is operated. It is operated to set the dehydration time.

According to the above embodiment, the hand washing course 5 of the operation program stored in the memory circuit 3. Standard course 7゜Big game course 9
If you select one of the following courses, transfer the laundry from the washing tub to the spin-drying tub within a certain period of time after each course ends, and operate the spin-drying setting section 16 once, a series of washes corresponding to each course will be executed.
Rinsing and dehydration are performed, improving usability.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the present invention, water flow, washing time and rinsing operations are executed according to an operation program stored in a storage means, and after this operation program is finished, a predetermined operation is performed. If the spin-drying tank starts operating within the specified time, the spin-drying rotation speed and spin time of the spin-drying tank will be set according to the operation program, so select the operation program when starting washing and rinsing, and then If you perform the operation to start spin-drying at the start, a series of laundry types,
Washing, rinsing, and dehydration are performed according to quality and quantity, and a two-tub washing machine can provide the same ease of use as a single-tank washing machine.
