제4도는 본 발명의 실시예에 대한 흐름을 나타내는 흐름도로써, 전원이 인가되어 세탁조건을 선택하면 선택에 따라 초기설정수위가 정해진다.4 is a flowchart illustrating a flow of an embodiment of the present invention. When power is applied and washing conditions are selected, initial setting levels are determined according to selection.

설정한 수위에 따라 급수밸브(80)가 온(ON)되고 수위를 감지하여 초기설정수위와 다르면 계속 급수밸브(80)를 온(ON)하여 급수를 실시하고 초기설정수위와 감지한 수위가 같으면 급수밸브(80)를 오프(OFF)하고 세탁을 실시한다.If the water supply valve 80 is turned on according to the set water level and the water level is detected and it is different from the initial setting water level, the water supply valve 80 is turned on to supply water and if the initial water level is equal to the detected water level. The water supply valve 80 is turned off and washing is performed.

세탁이 종료되면 배수호스걸이 감지부(70)를 통해 배수호스걸이 감지스위치가 온(ON)되어 있으면 배수호스(40)가 걸이홈(50)에 걸려 있어 배수가 되지 않는 상황이므로 일반 배수에러를 표시하게 되고 배수호스걸이 감지스위치가 오프(OFF)되었으면 배수호스(40)가 내려져 있으므로 배수밸브(20)를 온(ON)하고 배수를 하게 된다.When the washing is finished, if the drain hose hanger detection switch is turned on through the drain hose hanger detection unit 70, the drain hose 40 is caught in the hanger groove 50 so that drainage does not occur. If the drain hose hook detection switch is turned off (OFF), the drain hose 40 is lowered, so the drain valve 20 is turned on and drained.

초기설정수위보다 한 단계 낮은 수위까지 배수되는 시간이 설정시간이 경과되었는지를 감지하여 경과하지 않으면 배수밸브(20)를 계속 온(ON)하여 배수를 계속하고 경과되었으면 수위를 감지한다.If the time for draining up to one level lower than the initial set water level detects whether the set time has elapsed, and if it does not pass, the drain valve 20 is continuously turned on (ON) to continue draining and if the water level is elapsed, the water level is detected.

감지된 수위를 초기설정수위보다 한 단계 낮은 수위와 비교할 때 높으면 세탁수정화 필터(30)가 막혀서 배수가 되지 않는 상황임으로 필터막힘에러 표시를 하여 사용자가 필터를 청소하도록 한다.When the detected water level is high compared with the water level one level lower than the initial setting water level, the washing water purification filter 30 is clogged so that the water is not drained, and the filter clogging error is displayed to allow the user to clean the filter.

만약 감지된 수위가 초기설정수위보다 한 단계 낮은 수위보다 낮거나 같으면 배수를 실시하여 리셋(reset)수위까지 배수를 한 후 탈수를 실시한다.If the detected water level is lower than or equal to the water level one level lower than the initial level, the water is drained and drained to the reset level.

탈수가 종료되면 배수밸브(20)를 오프(OFF)하고 헹굼행정을 위한 급수를 실시한다.When dehydration is finished, the drain valve 20 is turned off and water is supplied for rinsing stroke.

헹굼행정과 탈수행정을 마치면 전체의 세탁행정이 종료하게 된다.After the rinsing cycle and the dehydrating stroke, the entire washing stroke is finished.

이때 헹굼행정 및 탈수행정의 배수진행시에도 상기와 같은 필터막힘에러를 지속적으로 감지하게 된다.At this time, the filter clogging error is continuously detected even when the rinsing stroke and the dehydration stroke are drained.

상기와 같은 본 발명은 일반 배수에러와 필터의 막힘현상을 감지함으로써 사용자가 배수호스외 필터를 직접 확인해야 하는 번거로움을 없애고 필터의 청소시기를 정확하게 알려주어 세탁수 정화 효율을 높여 세탁수에 의한 환경오염을 줄일 수 있도록 하는 효과가 있다.The present invention as described above eliminates the hassle of the user to directly check the filter other than the drain hose by detecting the general drainage error and the clogging phenomenon of the filter and to accurately know the cleaning time of the filter to increase the wash water purification efficiency by the wash water It is effective to reduce environmental pollution.
