Description

Intelligent washing apparatus and its control method that can use a complex solvent {Apparatus and method for intelligent washing machine for use of complex solvent}

The present invention relates to a washing apparatus, and in particular, it is possible to use several solvents such as water or organic solvents (petroleum or percro) in one washing apparatus, to stabilize the laundry by adding a low temperature drying function, and when using organic solvents. The present invention relates to an intelligent laundry apparatus and a control method thereof, which automatically prevent possible fires and explosions, and which can use a complex solvent suitable for recovering a laundry solvent using low vacuum.

In general, the laundry device refers to a device for washing clothes using the power of the machine. These washing machines are mainly driven by electric motors, and the washing, rinsing, and dehydration processes are carried out to remove the stains on clothes by using the action of detergent and water. The components consist of a motor, a power unit, a machine to transfer energy to the laundry, a control unit to control the washing process, a water supply and drainage system, and a water supply and drainage system.

Currently, the washing machine used in the world is a drum type (cylinder type) mainly used in Europe, agitator type in North America, and a pulsator used in East Asia such as Korea and Japan. There are three main types.

In the drum type, water, detergent, and laundry are put inside the drum in which several protrusions are formed, and the laundry is lifted by the protrusions and washed by falling impact. This method has almost no damage to laundry and has the advantage of using less water. However, because the washing power is weak, the electric heater must be used to warm the water, which consumes a lot of electricity, takes a long time, and has a big noise.

Stirring is a method of washing by rotating the wing-shaped stirrer to the left and right in the center of the washing tank. The washing power is excellent, but the noise and vibration of the washing machine are large, there is damage to the laundry, and it is suitable for large washing machines.

Wakwonsik, which is widely used in Korea, was developed in Japan in 1960 and washes with water generated by rotating a disk-shaped pulsator. In the early products, the pulsator's diameter was small and the high-speed rotation had a disadvantage of severe twisting and damage of clothes, but since the 1980s, when the pulsator was enlarged and the left and right reversal time was shortened, the product was compensated for and the washing power was excellent. In particular, large pulsator products with short left and right reversal times may be classified as agitated due to their characteristics.

In addition, the spiral wound washing machine is divided into two tanks in which a washing tank and a dehydration tank are separated, and a tank in which washing, rinsing, and dehydration are performed in the same place. The two-type washing machine is divided into an automatic washing machine (also called semi-automatic) in which washing and rinsing are automatically connected, and a manual washing machine in which a water tray and washing / rinsing must be selected manually. One tank washing machine is automatically connected to the whole process of washing / rinsing / dehydration, it is also known as a fully automatic washing machine is separated from the automatic washing machine.

In addition, there is a vibration washing machine for vibrating the diaphragm due to mechanical shock, an ultrasonic washing machine for electrically oscillating the vibrator, a hydraulic washing machine using a high pressure pump, and the like. Dry washing machine is a wet washing machine that uses water, whereas general washing machine does not use water but washes with petroleum solvent developed for dry cleaning or organic solvent such as perc ethylene. It is classified as a dry washing machine. The structure is attached to a drum type washing machine in the form of a solvent purifier and the like, and is used to wash textiles that are easily damaged during water washing or dyeings having low fastness to water.

To stabilize the laundry, and to recover the washing solvent using a low vacuum.

Until now, there is no washing apparatus which can use petroleum, perc, etc. which are water or an organic solvent exclusively for dry cleaning as a washing solvent.

Thus, the present invention allows these devices to be washed in one laundry device, and the solvent is reused by operating a separate device and adding laundry low temperature drying function and sorting recovery function of the laundry solvent evaporating into the air to prevent deformation of the laundry. The company developed a complex device that includes a device. Therefore, it is possible to develop a complex apparatus for washing, drying and recovering various washing solvents, and to perform a low temperature drying function, a recovery function of volatile solvent, and a selective separation function of a mixed solvent as added functions.

The present invention is to convert the conventional sequential (temporal) control type washing apparatus to a fully automatic and digital operation of the program control method for each function according to the input program.

In addition, to control the pollution measurement of the solvent during use is carried out as follows. The first washing solvent used is contaminated oil, fine contaminated particles, and pigments eluted from the laundry. This can be quantitatively confirmed by the difference in the permeability of the solvent. Thus, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the injection rate is automatically injected into the spectrometer cell by the continuous flow sample injection method to measure the transmittance (% T) at 550 nm. If the level of permeability is below a certain level (eg 55%), run the automatic (manual) refining unit.
