[Background of invention]

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for rinsing laundry following a cleaning cycle, in particular to a method and apparatus for rinsing laundry with a vertical automatic washing machine.

U.S. Patent No. 4,784,666, assigned to the assignee of the present application and referenced herein, describes a standard rinse as is generally used for vertical axis automatic washing machines. In such a rinsing method, after the wash liquor is drained from the washing machine, the entire tub is filled with fresh water referred to as deep fill rinse to dilute the detergent held in the laundry. In addition, the amount of water supplied is sprayed onto the laundry after the washing liquid is removed from the washing machine, and spray rinsing is known in which water is drained and discharged from the spray rinsing.

[Summary of invention]

The present invention provides an improved rinsing method. Provided by completing dirt and detergent removal to be available in a conventional manner and at the same time provided by completing dirt and detergent removal to be available in a method while performing a greater degree of dirt and detergent removal than is available by conventional methods during rotation. And a number of specific steps to improve the rinsing process described in U.S. Pat. Is provided.

In particular, two spray rinses are applied to the rotating laundry to drain the released water, dirt and detergent directly, and a plurality of spray rinses are also applied to the rotating laundry to be released before the discharged water and residual detergent are drained to drain. It is determined to be continuously recycled to the rotating laundry for the cycle, providing much better results than conventional rinse cycles. For example, a suitable embodiment of the present invention utilizes a two-way discharge or jet rotary rinse and six recycle rotary rinses to provide the same results as a conventional deep rinse cycle. If more than six recycle rotary rinses are used, savings in water use result in improved levels of detergent removal. Another embodiment of the present invention completes a spray rinse combination that includes all jet spray rinses or all recycle spray rinses.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes an automatic washing machine, that is, a washing machine having a sequential control means which can be set in advance to operate the washing machine through a program which preselects automatic washing, rinsing and drying operations which can embody the present invention. do. The washing machine 10 has a frame 12 supporting the vertical panel 14 which forms the side 14a, the upper portion 14b, the front portion 14c and the rear portion 14d of the cabinet 15 for the washing machine 10. It is included. The hinged lid 16 is installed in the usual way to access the interior of the washing machine 10 or the treatment zone 17. The washing machine 10 has a console 18 that includes a timer dial 20 or other timing mechanism and a temperature selector 22 as well as other selectors than the cycle selector 23 described above.

In the washing machine 10 described as an example in the present specification, an airless fluid retaining tub 24 is disposed therein and an agitator disposed vertically in a state in which the pump 28 is installed below the tub 24; 26) and a perforated spin basket 25 are installed. Water is supplied to the airless tub 24 by cold and hot water supply lines 30 and 32 connected to the respective hot and cold water mixing valves 34 and 35 (FIG. 6). The illustrated dispenser shaped mixing valves 34, 35 are connected to conduits 38. This triple distributor includes bypass valves 34 and 35 connected to the mixing valve 37 which is also part of the standard product distributor. Mixing valve 37 connects to manifold conduit 36. The conduit 38 is connected to the water inlet housing or spray nozzle 40 installed in the form of a piggy back above the recirculating water inlet housing or spray nozzle 41 adjacent the upper end of the airless tub 24.

The nozzles 40, 41 shown in detail in FIG. 10 may be of the type described in US Pat. No. 4,754,622, assigned to the assignee of the present invention, or may be of any other type of spray nozzle. Single nozzles are suitable if they can meet U.L. and Kita validation tests and standards.

Just below the openable lid 16 surrounds the upper opening 46 above the tub 24. As the plurality of laundry additive dispensers 50, 52, 54 are shown in FIGS. 1 and 4A, these dispensers are accessible when the hinged lid 16 is in the open position. Dispensers 50 and 52 are used for dispensing additives such as fabric or fiber cotton wool, and dispenser 54 can be used to dispense detergent (liquid or particles) to laundry at a reasonable time in an automatic laundry cycle. As schematically shown in FIG. 6, each distributor 50, 52 and 54 is supplied with liquid (usually fresh water or wash liquid) through separate conduits 56, 58 and 60. Each conduit 56, 58, 60 is connected to the fluid source in a conventional manner by respective solenoid operated valves 62, 64, 66, FIG. 6, including a built-in oil seed device to impart the same flow rate over a wide range of inlet pressures. Can be connected.

As shown in FIG. 1, the mixing tank 70 forms an area for receiving and storing a concentrated area of detergent during a wash cycle and forms an area for receiving and storing a concentrated area of detergent in some embodiments of the present invention. Used. As will be described later, the mixing tank communicates with the washing tub at the top and with the pump 28, the basal or conduit 72 and the recycle conduit 74 at the bottom. FIG. 1 shows a collecting zone in the form of a sump region 80 formed in front of the bottom wall of the washing tub 24, which is shown in more detail in FIGS. 2 and 5. These figures show that the particular sump reservoir 80 described above comprises the effect of the turbo 24 having a front wall 84 having the same height as the outer circumferential wall 86 of the tub and a rear wall 82 forming the cord of the tub. do.

The mixing tank 70 is shown in detail in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4b, wherein the tank 70 has an arc shaped rear wall 100 which is almost suitable for the outer circumferential wall 86 of the tub and has a washing machine cabinet ( It can be seen that there is also a more curved front wall 102 that is parallel but isolated to the rear side wall 14a and the front wall 14c of 14). Thus, the tank 70 fixed to the tub outer surface is fitted in a normal unused space in the front right corner of the washing machine cabinet 15.

The tank 70 has a generally curved and closed top wall 104 at its apex 108 where the port 106 is located, the port 106 of the tub 24 through a short conduit 109. In communication with the interior. The tank 70 also has a curved sea wall 110 with a port 112 at the bottom point 114. The port 112 communicates with the inlet 117 of the pump 28 through the conduit 116. The selectively operable valve mechanism 118 provides selective communication through a passageway represented by conduit 116. Such a valve 118 may be any of a number of valve types, such as solenoid operated pinch valves, flapper valves or other adjustable valve mechanisms.

The third port 120 is provided through the front wall 102 of the tank 70 adjacent the rear wall 100 and the bottom wall 110. The port 120 is in communication with the conduit 72, 74 (see also FIG. 6) associated with the pump 28, the drain 124 and the recirculation nozzle 41 as mentioned above in the conduit 122.

The detergent dispenser 54 has an opening 130 which communicates through the bottom wall 132 to the space 134 between the basket 25 and the tub 24. As described above, detergent dispenser 54 is supplied with fresh water (via fresh water) through conduit 60. The three-way valve 37 (see FIG. 6) is connected with the conduit 60 such that fresh water flows toward the inside of the laundry basket 25 toward the fresh water spray nozzle 40 or the detergent dispenser 54. Of course, other types of detergent dispensers may be used in the present invention that include a dispenser that holds one or more detergent fills and dispenses one detergent for each wash cycle.

The sump bottle 80 serves to serve as a wash liquor collection zone contained within the tub 24, and is used in particular in connection with a concentrated wash cycle, as will be described below in relation to FIG. 7. In such a washing cycle, it is important to keep the collected cleaning solution away from the rotating basket 25 to prevent excessive foaming of the cleaning solution, which is a concentrated cleaning solution. Excessive foaming of the liquid results in a lather state in which a large amount of lather is created in the space 132 between the washer and the basket, which significantly increases the drag drag on the rotating basket. Thus, the sump 80 provides a well-spaced area from the laundry basket and prevents the wash liquid collected in the collection zone from contacting the pump during the recycling process of the intensive laundry cycle to avoid lathering. It has sufficient capacity to collect a sufficient amount of wash liquid therein for continued feeding.

Within the sump is provided a liquid sensor means, which may be in the form of a liquid level sensor 130. Such a sensor can be a variety of other types of sensors, including conductive probes (see also FIG. 8b), temperature thermistors (see FIG. 6) or pressure domes (see also FIG. 8a). Regardless of the type of sensor, the liquid sensor should be able to detect the presence of liquid washes or soap bubbles in the sump. Sensors for detecting the height of the liquid in the sump can also be used. Upon detection of the required detection, as is already known, the sensor sends an appropriate signal to the controller 131 to activate the various valves required for that portion of the wash cycle. As will be described in detail below, the liquid sensor 130 is used to maintain the wash liquor in the sump 80 at the level of demand during the recirculation of the concentrated wash cycle.

The probe sensor shown in FIG. 8B consists of two insulated forced electrodes 138 having only the tip 140 exposed in the tub sump 80. When the level of wash liquor or lather is high enough to make contact with both electrodes, the low voltage circuit is completed, indicating that the sensor is satisfied.

As shown in FIG. 6, the thermistor system is also located in the sump 80 to operate when the water or soap bubbles rise to a specified level to cool the sensor element.

As shown in FIG. 8A, the pressure dome sensor is similar to the pressure dome used to determine the liquid level in an automatic washing machine tub, but the major difference between the conventional and the present application is that the dome is located in the tub sump rather than the top of the tub. It is to let. If a pressure dome sensor is used, one of the sensors will be advantageous for making a rotation / spray use and the other for making a dual setting for use to fill the water described below. The pressure dome sensor may also be useful as a sensor for detecting excessive lather conditions. If the level of lather is too high, the sensor will not be reset. Not reset is a means of ending the spray / rotary wash and returning to a conventional large amount of water rinsing instead of spray rinsing.

An improved laundry cycle is provided by the present invention in which a plurality of laundry is placed into the washing zone 17 including the interior of the basket 25 as shown in step 150 in FIG. In addition, the detergent is located in the detergent dispenser 54 as indicated by step 152 in FIG. The amount of detergent placed in the dispenser may be changed without affecting the operation of regular wash cycles with respect to the size of the laundry to be washed.

The user then activates the input controls 20, 22, 23 on the console to select the required wash cycle, laundry type, water temperature and other load and cycle parameters, as indicated by step 154 in FIG.

The automatic washing cycle then begins and valves 34 and 35 are opened as required by the selected temperature so that water enters the washing machine. At the same time the basket 25 begins to rotate at a relatively slow rotational speed, for example 40 rpm. Applicants have not established an optimum rotational speed, but the low rotational speed of this particular wash cycle reduces the tendency for wrinkling or excessive lather. Rotational speeds below 420 rpm will significantly improve wrinkles. However, the pump 28 of the system is driven by a motor driving the basket 25, the pumping and stain removal during the recirculation of the wash cycle is reduced when the rpm of the motor is below the number of revolutions required to rotate the basket at 420 rpm. do. Thus, an exchange relationship exists between stain removal and wrinkling in the systems described herein. As shown in FIG. 6, incoming fresh water enters directly through valve 36 to flow only through detergent conduit 54 through conduit 60. Water entering the detergent dispenser 54 flows the detergent through the opening 130 into the space 132 between the basket 25 and the hub 24 and into the sump 80 in the hub. . The pump 28 continues to operate as described above, and the water and detergent liquid collected in the sump reservoir 80 are pumped through the conduit 72 to the two-way or three-way port valve 156, which is the valve 156. Acts to block the exit to drain 124 and open the passage to conduit 158. Both or three-way valves 160 operate to close the connections to conduits 74 and to open the outflow passages for conduits 122 in communication with the mixing tank 70. Thus, the mixing tank is filled with a solution concentrated with water and detergent and is allowed to fill the mixing tank 70 at least partially by 0.6 to 1.2 galons depending on the size of the washing machine and the load of the laundry. Then the conduit 66 is closed. The control valve 118 is opened, allowing the inlet 117 of the pump 28 to communicate with the mixing tank 70 through the conduit 116 and flowing the concentrate from the mixing tank and passing through the pump 28, It is returned back to the mixing tank via conduits 72, 158 and 122, which allows the detergent to be mixed thoroughly by recycling the solution in the loop indicated by step 162 in FIG. As a result, the mixture exhibits a detergent concentration of 0.5 to 4%, as described in US Pat. No. 4,784,666.

During mixing, after a sufficient predetermined time has elapsed, the control valve 118 is closed so that the mixing tank 70 is filled with the detergent liquid.

Next, as in step 164 shown in FIG. 7, the concentrated detergent solution is added to the rotary laundry by recycling the solution. The two-way valve 160 is operative to communicate from the conduit 72, which runs from the pump 28, to the conduit 74 towards the recirculating spray nozzle 41 located above the basket 25 upper opening. The control valve 118 is selectively opened and closed to meter a predetermined amount of concentrated solution into the laundry basket. The liquid level sensor 130 is provided in the sump 80 to detect the liquid level collected in the sump. The monitoring activity of the sensor 130 begins simultaneously with the opening of the control valve 118.

Liquid level control is important for a washing machine system selected by the applicant implementing the present invention. Excess detergent solution applied will exhibit a state of overfropping by manipulating the rotating basket to reduce the detergent solution to the bottom in the tub. A suitable method of control is to use the liquid level sensor 130 to keep the liquid level of the detergent solution in the sump at a minimum. Modifications to the standard tub allow the washing machine to function properly under a wide range of conditions, but most washing conditions do not require the use of a tub sump.

First, when a small amount of concentrated solution is dispensed into the basket 25, the liquid level sensor 130 quickly checks to determine how much liquid to send to the sump. This instantaneously determines the amount of fabric in the basket. If there is no fabric, the dispensed concentrated detergent solution will be returned to the sump 80 and will be detected by the liquidity level sensor 130. If no fabric is detected, an appropriate cycle finishing process will begin.

However, if there is a fabric in the laundry basket, the fabric will absorb the concentrated detergent solution and there will be no solution in the sump 80 which is sensed by the sensor 130. Then, the sensor sets the desired sensing amount by dispensing additional solution in accordance with the operation of the control bag 118 until the sensor 130 detects the desired minimum level in the sump. If the liquid level sensor detects that no additional detergent solution is needed during the cycle, the detergent valve 118 is closed by the control device 113 to maintain the current level of the recirculation system. The control valve 118 sometimes operates to dispense the increased concentrated detergent solution within the system. When on hold, an additional dose is provided to allow fresh dispensing solution to flow into the sump (80). The sensor is satisfied when all concentrated detergents require more than before being dispensed from the mixing tank 70 or present in the mixing tank. In the latter case, the inner valves 34 and 35 are operated to supply additional fresh water into the washing machine through the water spray nozzle 40. Additional fresh water may be supplied via the detergent dispenser 54. Sufficient liquid is dispensed into the rotating fabric to maintain the desired minimum level in the sump 80 and the control valve 118 is closed like the control valves 34 and 35 and the solution collected in the sump 80 is pumped. (28), rotation in the washing zone for sequential recirculation through return conduit nozzle 41 through conduit 72, both valves 156, conduit 158, both valves 16, and conduit 74. It is continuously pumped into the recycle loop to respray onto the fabric. The liquid level in the sump (80) is maintained at a minimum level so that the liquid does not rise so that the liquid itself comes into contact with the rotating basket (25) through the increased foam and the foam lock state is the rotating basket (25) and the tub (24). Do not let it develop in between. If the user puts additional fabrics into the wash zone during the recirculation rotating wash of the laundry process, these fabrics will absorb some of the wash liquor and the sensor 130 will detect a reduced wash liquor level in the sewage bath 80. If the wash liquor is maintained in the mixing tank then additional wash liquor will be supplied from the mixing tank through the conduit 116 into the recirculation loop through the wash zone. If the wash liquor is not kept in the mixing tank, clean water will be supplied to the wash zone until the sensor 13 is satisfied.

Recirculation of the concentrated detergent solution is continued from the sump 80 through the pump 28, conduits 72, 74 and stray nozzles 41 according to the user selected selection process and the size of the detection load. For example, a cycle that detects maximum performance recirculates detergent solution for a few minutes or more through the fabric load while a permanent pressure cycle attempts to minimize the length of rotation.

After a predetermined time, the pump 28 stops operating and the basket 25 also stops rotating. At that point, the control valve 118 is opened to discharge the concentrated detergent solution present in the tank 70 to the tub 24. Thereafter, both valves 16 operate to close the conduit 122 and the valves 34, 35, 66 operate to rinse the tub through fresh water dispenser 54 to purge the basket in accordance with step 180 of FIG. The laundry zone 17 in the interior is filled with water. Freshwater fills the laundry basket with normal leveling to reduce the detergent solution in the laundry basket to the normal concentration level. The use of a standard liquid level sensor 182, such as an air dome, is described in US Pat. No. 4,697,293 and is assigned to the applicant and used to detect the level of liquid in the cleaning basket. As described above, when the air dome is used as the liquid level sensor 130, the length of the maximum level detected by the sensor 182 and the length of the minimum level by the sensor 130 and the minimum level by the sensor 130 are accurately determined. As with the detection, the air dome can also be used as the level sensor 182 while the detection zone is large enough.

Once the cleaning basket is filled to an appropriate level and the inner valve is closed, the next step is to drive the stirrer 26 in an agitated manner as compared to a regular basket as known in the art as shown in step 184 of FIG. The type and time of the stirrer also depends on the cycle selected by the user and the amount of fabric in the basket 25. For example, the high speed agitation maximum time is selected as the maximum dirt removal value while the low speed agitation minimum time is selected as the minimum elasticity of the fabric when washing the sweater or the fabric. If bleach is added, the valves 35 and 64 are opened for a predetermined time to be flush with the bleach container. Stirring is continued for the specific time that the bleach is added.

As indicated by step 186 of FIG. 7, upon completion of the stirring step, the liquid in the cleaning tub 24 flows to drain by operation of the valve 156 opening the conduit 172 to drain. After a fairly short cycle time, with some wash liquid drained from the tub, valve 156 operates to close the drain passage and valve 160 operates to close the passage from conduit 158 to conduit 74 to allow the mixing tank to Open passage of conduit 122 in communication with 70.

The wash liquor is pumped into the mix tank to completely fill the mix tank and flows through the opening 108 and conduit 109 into the space 134 between the basket 25 and the tub 24 to deliver the residual concentrated wash solution to the mix tank and The mixing tank overflows again to remove it from the conduit wall. The two-way valve 16 is operated to spray the cleaning liquid through the conduit 74 to the spray nozzle 41 and also to overflow the concentrated detergent solution remaining on the conduit 74 and the wall of the spray nozzle 41. do. Both valves 156 then operate to open the drain from conduit 72 to remove all wash liquor in the tub. The basket 25 is then rotated to extract the amount of wash liquor in the basket 25 so that extraction by rotation is performed at a rotational speed and time depending on the fabric and cycle type.

A series of drainage and dewatering is shown in FIG. 9 as step 200 and the drain and rinse sections of the washing machine cycle are not only useful for the concentrated washing cycle but also for the standard washing cycle used as a vertical washing machine. 9 shows the next step for a predetermined amount and scheduled time of spraying fresh water through the spray nozzle 40 on the fabric maintained to rotate in the rotating basket 25. The spray of fresh water radiates the fabric radially to the inner surface. By directing the basket rotation, the fabric, the basket, the tub and the sump produce a retained wash solution and fresh water that is pressurized outwards by excessive soap and centrifugal forces. The filled liquid is collected in the sump container 80 and pumped to the drain pipe through the sump container 80. Rotation of the fabric is continued so that the spray of fresh water from the spray nozzle 40 is pumped by all liquids available from the fabric to the drain pipe. The second spray of fresh water (expected amount or scheduled time) from the nozzle 40 is directed to the rotating fabric and attached to the tub wall. The liquid filled from the basket is pumped directly into the drain pipe collected in the sump.If there is an excess of soapy water remaining in the washing machine at this point, the washing machine cycle is not satisfactory for water rinsing when detected by the sensor 130. This sequential step is shown as step 202 in FIG.

Following the second spray rinse, the basket 25 continues to rotate and is continuously pumped to drain the collection liquor as indicated by step 204. After a predetermined period of time, both valves 156 are operated in close connection with the drain pipe so that fresh water is supplied back to the rotating fabric through the spray nozzle 40. The water dilutes the detergent in the fabric as it passes through the loop and the basket. The excess liquid filled from the rotating basket 25 to the tub 24 collects in the sump and is recycled through the nozzle 40 on the rotating fabric and pumped through the conduits 72, 148, 74. The dilute solution extracts the additive from each other from the rod. Recirculation continues for a predetermined time, as indicated by step 206, and then at the end of the scheduled time, both dual actuated valves 156 are operated by opening the passage of the drain pipe. The recycled solution is led to the drain pipe indicated in step 208. After a predetermined time, both valves 156 operate closely to the passageway in the drain and the respray of fresh water to the nozzle 40 is guided back to the rotating fabric. This solution is collected again in the pump 80 and recycled to the rotating fabric through the pump, the conduits 72, 158, 74 and the spray nozzle 41. The spin and rinse spray rinse sequence steps following the dehydration step are repeated according to the user selected cycle and fabric load. The two overflow spin rinses, shown in step 202 and the six recycle spin rinses, shown in step 206, are typically expressed in detergent grade levels from equivalent fabric loads to be obtained in standard filling and rinsing used by vertical washing machines. However, overflow rotary rinsing and recycle rotary rinsing are used less cleanly than conventional filling rinses (particularly if the rinse is heated), water and energy are saved. Moreover, in utilizing additive recycle rotary rinsing, an improved level of detergent grade of fabric loading is achieved.

If fabric softener is supplied to the fabric load, fresh water is sprayed onto the fabric until the sensor 130 is satisfied during the final recycle spray rinse. If this condition occurs, valves 35 and 62 are opened to overflow all fabric softener from dispenser 50 into the tub. Such valves 35 and 62 are closed and the softener is mixed with water to be recycled through the fabric. This solution is recycled through the loop for a predetermined time and the drain valve is opened to complete the final rotation of the drain stage.

As is apparent from the foregoing description, the invention is capable of various other alternatives and modifications as set forth in the foregoing specification and drawings. It is to be understood that many variations that are suitably within the scope of the invention may be implemented within the scope of the granted patent.
