The water input amount sensing unit 268 is implemented as a floating meter, but various examples are possible.

The control unit 210 controls the amount of water supplied to the washing tub 120 based on the water level detected by the water level sensing unit 265 or the amount of water input sensed by the water input sensing unit 268 The amount can be adjusted.

Preferably, the laundry in the washing tub 120 can be controlled so as to be wetted. Here, it is preferable that the amount of water wetted by the bag in the washing tub 120 is higher than the airflow of the washing tub and lower than the laundry cloth level. That is, it is preferable that water is supplied so that only a part of the bag is wetted.

At this time, the control unit 210 controls the motor 230 to control the motor 230 to rotate in the normal direction, the reverse direction, or the reverse direction so that the water to be introduced is well wetted.

On the other hand, the control unit 210 controls the driving unit 220 to operate the motor 230. For example, based on the current detection unit 225 for detecting the output current flowing through the motor 230 and the position sensing unit 220 for sensing the position of the motor 230, the driving unit 220 Can be controlled. The detected current and the detected position signal are inputted to the driving unit 220. The present invention is not limited thereto and may be applied to either the control unit 210 or the control unit 210 and the driving unit 220 It is also possible.

Accordingly, a reliable operation time can be provided to the user, efficient operation can be performed, and unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced.

On the other hand, the control unit 210 can control to display the calculated operation time on the display 118 based on the primary quantity or porosity sensed first. This display is preferably performed in the case of not the eco mode.

1, the control unit 210 may control the water supply to the washing water level in the washing tub 120 after the washing time display. Thereby, the washing cycle can be performed.

On the other hand, when the laundry machine is the front load system of Fig. 1, the secondary volume detection and operation time display in the eco mode described above can be performed during the washing cycle.

On the other hand, the above-described primary and secondary discharging or porosity sensing can be performed based on the current ripple flowing in the motor 230 when the motor 230 rotates. Alternatively, it is also possible to apply a current to the motor 230, rotate the motor 230, turn off the current, and then detect the quantity or the porosity based on the deceleration speed or deceleration time of the motor 230 Do.

The driving unit 220 is for driving the motor 230 and may include an inverter (not shown) and an inverter control unit (not shown). Further, the driving unit 220 may be a concept further including a converter or the like that supplies DC power input to an inverter (not shown).

For example, when an inverter control unit (not shown) outputs a switching control signal (Sic in Fig. 4) of a pulse width modulation (PWM) method to an inverter (not shown), the inverter (not shown) It is possible to supply AC power of a predetermined frequency to the motor 230.

The driving unit 220 will be described later with reference to FIG.

For example, while the washing tub 120 rotates, the laundry amount can be sensed based on the current value (i _o ) of the motor 230.

The control unit 210 may sense the amount of eccentricity of the washing tub 120, that is, the unbalance (UB) of the washing tub 120. [ Such eccentricity detection can be performed based on the ripple component of the current (i _o ) detected by the current detection unit 220 or the rotational speed variation amount of the washing tub 120.

The driving unit 220 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a converter 410, an inverter 420, an inverter control unit 430, a dc voltage detection unit B, a smoothing capacitor C, And an output current detection unit E. The driving unit 220 may further include an input current detection unit A, a reactor L, and the like.

The reactor L is disposed between the commercial AC power source 405 (v _s ) and the converter 410, and performs a power factor correcting or boosting operation. The reactor L may also function to limit the harmonic current due to the fast switching of the converter 410.

The input current detection section A can detect the input current i _s input from the commercial AC power source 405. To this end, a current transformer (CT), a shunt resistor, or the like may be used as the input current detector A. The detected input current i _s can be input to the inverter control unit 430 as a discrete signal in the form of a pulse.

The converter 410 converts the commercial AC power source 405, which has passed through the reactor L, into DC power and outputs the DC power. Although the commercial AC power source 405 is shown as a single-phase AC power source in the figure, it may be a three-phase AC power source. The internal structure of the converter 410 also changes depending on the type of the commercial AC power source 405.

Meanwhile, the converter 410 may include a diode without a switching element, and may perform a rectifying operation without a separate switching operation.

For example, in the case of a single-phase AC power source, four diodes may be used in the form of a bridge, and in the case of a three-phase AC power source, six diodes may be used in the form of a bridge.

On the other hand, the converter 410 may be, for example, a half-bridge type converter in which two switching elements and four diodes are connected, and in the case of a three-phase AC power source, six switching elements and six diodes may be used .

When the converter 410 includes a switching element, the boosting operation, the power factor correction, and the DC power conversion can be performed by the switching operation of the switching element.

Hereinafter, the portions illustrated in the drawings are mainly described.

On the other hand, both ends of the smoothing capacitor C are referred to as a dc stage or a dc stage because the dc power source is stored.

The dc voltage detection unit B can detect the dc voltage Vdc at both ends of the smoothing capacitor C. [ For this purpose, the dc voltage detection unit B may include a resistance element, an amplifier, and the like. The detected dc voltage source Vdc can be input to the inverter control unit 430 as a discrete signal in the form of a pulse.

The inverter 420 includes a plurality of inverter switching elements and converts the smoothed DC power supply Vdc into a three-phase AC power supply va, vb, vc having a predetermined frequency by on / off operation of the switching element, And outputs it to the synchronous motor 230.

Diodes are connected in anti-parallel to each switching element Sa, S'a, Sb, S'b, Sc, S'c.

The switching elements in the inverter 420 perform ON / OFF operations of the respective switching elements based on the inverter switching control signal Sic from the inverter controller 430. [ Thus, three-phase AC power having a predetermined frequency is output to the three-phase synchronous motor 230.

The inverter control unit 430 can control the switching operation of the inverter 420. [ To this end, the drive controller 430, and can receive the output current (i _o) detected by the output current detector (E).

The inverter control unit 430 outputs the inverter switching control signal Sic to the inverter 420 to control the switching operation of the inverter 420. [ Inverter switching control signal (Sic) is output is generated by a switching control signal of a pulse width modulation (PWM), based on the output current (i _o) detected by the output current detector (E). Detailed operation of the output of the inverter switching control signal Sic in the inverter control unit 430 will be described later with reference to Fig.

An output current detector (E) detects the inverter 420 and the three-phase motor output current (i _o) flowing between (230). That is, the current flowing in the motor 230 is detected. The output current detection unit E can detect all of the output currents ia, ib, ic of each phase or can detect the output currents of two phases using the three-phase balance.

The output current detection unit E may be located between the inverter 420 and the motor 230. For current detection, a current transformer (CT), a shunt resistor, or the like may be used.

Three shunt resistors are placed between the inverter 420 and the synchronous motor 230 or the three lower arm switching elements S'a, S'b, S'c To be connected to each other. On the other hand, it is also possible to use two shunt resistors using three phase equilibrium. On the other hand, when one shunt resistor is used, the shunt resistor may be disposed between the capacitor C and the inverter 420 described above.

The detected output current (i _o) are, as discrete signals (discrete signal) of the pulse type, may be applied to the inverter controller 430, the inverter switching control signal (Sic) based on the detected output current (i _o) Is generated. In the output current detection (i _o) will now be described in that the three-phase output currents (ia, ib, ic) of the.

On the other hand, the three-phase motor 230 has a stator and a rotor, and each phase alternating current power of a predetermined frequency is applied to a coil of a stator of each phase (a, b, c) .

The motor 230 may be, for example, a Surface Mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (SMPMSM), an Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (IPMSM) A synchronous motor (Synchronous Reluctance Motor; Synrm), and the like. Among them, SMPMSM and IPMSM are permanent magnet applied Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), and Synrm is characterized by having no permanent magnet.

On the other hand, the inverter control unit 430 can control the switching operation of the switching element in the converter 410 when the converter 410 includes a switching element. For this purpose, the inverter control unit 430 can receive the input current (i _s ) detected by the input current detection unit (A). The inverter control unit 430 may output the converter switching control signal Scc to the converter 410 to control the switching operation of the converter 410. [ The converter switching control signal (Scc) is generated by a switching control signal of a pulse width modulation method (PWM), based on the input current (i _s) to be detected from the input current detecting unit (A) can be output.

Meanwhile, the position sensing unit 235 may sense the rotor position of the motor 230. For this, the position sensing unit 235 may include a Hall sensor. The sensed rotor position H is input to the inverter control unit 430 and used based on speed calculation and the like.

On the other hand, the current command generation section 530 generates the current command

(I ^* _q ) on the basis of the speed command value? ^* _R and the speed command value? ^* _R. For example, the current command generation unit 530 generates the current command

The PI controller 535 performs the PI control based on the difference between the speed command value? ^* _R and the speed command value? ^* _R , and generates the current command value i ^* _q . In the figure, the q-axis current command value (i ^* _q ) is exemplified by the current command value, but it is also possible to generate the d-axis current command value (i ^* _d ) unlike the figure. On the other hand, the value of the d-axis current command value i ^* _d may be set to zero.

On the other hand, the current command generation unit 530 may further include a limiter (not shown) for limiting the current command value i ^* _q so that the current command value i ^* _q does not exceed the allowable range.

Next, the voltage command generation unit 540 generates the voltage command generation unit 540 based on the d-axis and q-axis currents (i _d , i _q ) axially transformed into the two-phase rotational coordinate system in the axial conversion unit and the current command value based on ^{_{i * d, i * q)}} , and generates a d-axis, q-axis voltage command value ^{_{(v * d, v * q}} ).

Then, the axis converting unit 550 performs conversion from the two-phase stationary coordinate system to the three-phase stationary coordinate system. Through this conversion, the axial conversion unit 1050 outputs the three-phase output voltage instruction values v ^* a, v ^* b, v ^* c.

The switching control signal output unit 560 generates an inverter switching control signal Sic according to the pulse width modulation (PWM) method based on the three-phase output voltage set values v ^* a, v ^* b and v ^* c And outputs it.

The output inverter switching control signal Sic may be converted into a gate driving signal in a gate driving unit (not shown) and input to the gate of each switching element in the inverter 420. As a result, the switching elements Sa, S'a, Sb, S'b, Sc, and S'c in the inverter 420 perform the switching operation.

Meanwhile, in connection with the embodiment of the present invention, the inverter control unit 430 turns off the current supplied to the motor 230 at the time of detecting the amount of the battery. That is, all of the switching elements Sa, S'a, Sb, S'b, Sc, and S'c in the inverter 420 are turned off. During the off period, the discharge amount can be accurately sensed by the deceleration speed or deceleration time calculated based on the position signal H sensed by the position sensing unit 235. [

Although the inverter control unit 430 in the drive unit 220 detects the discharge amount, the controller 210 for controlling all operations of the drive unit 220 may sense the discharge amount Do. That is, the position signal H sensed by the position sensing unit 235 is transmitted to the control unit 210 through the driving unit 220, so that the control unit 210 can sense the weight.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of controlling a laundry processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 7 to 14 are views referred to the description of the control method of FIG.

First, in operation of the laundry processing apparatus, a current is applied to rotate the motor in order to detect the amount of the laundry or the porosity (S610). Then, based on the rotation of the motor, the first discharge amount detection or the porosity detection is performed (S615).

The control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 can control the motor 230 to rotate first at a constant first rotational speed v1 by applying an alternating current. That is, it is possible to control the inverter switching control signal Sic to be outputted to the inverter 420. At this time, it is preferable that the alternating current applied to the motor 230 is a sinusoidal current. Accordingly, the motor 230 can be driven accurately when the amount of the discharged liquid is detected or the amount of the discharged liquid is detected.

The first section T1 is preferably maintained for a predetermined period or longer so that the motor 230 maintains a constant rotational speed. In addition, it is preferable to keep the interval for detecting the excessive amount for a proper period so as not to be too long.

In the meantime, one cycle of rotation at the first rotation speed is shown in the figure, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is also possible to perform the rotation for a plurality of times in order to accurately detect the volume or to detect the porosity.

Next, the current applied to the motor is turned off (S620). Then, based on the deceleration speed or the deceleration time of the motor in at least a part of the off period, the clutch is sensed (S625).

The control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 turns off the current applied to the motor 230. That is, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the three pairs of the upper arm switching elements Sa, Sb and Sc in the inverter 420 and the lower arm switching elements S'a, S'b and S'c are turned off ). Thereby, the motor 230 is decelerated.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the AC current supplied to the motor 230 is turned off for at least a part of the off period, and the deceleration rate or the deceleration time of the motor 230 is used to detect do.

When the AC power supplied to the motor 230 is turned off, the motor 230 driving the washing tub 120 in which the bag is inserted decelerates as in the second section T2 of FIG. In particular, the motor 230 decelerates nonlinearly for a certain period of time from the time of off, and the speed of the motor 230 linearly decreases during a certain period T3. Then, the motor 230 is decelerated nonlinearly while the laundry in the washing tub 120 is released again.

In the embodiment of the present invention, during such a linear deceleration period T3, the deceleration rate or the deceleration time of the motor 230 is used to detect the dead volume. The deceleration speed or deceleration time of the motor 230 can be sensed according to the calculated deceleration speed or deceleration time based on the position signal H of the position sensing unit 235 as described above.

For example, as the deceleration speed or the deceleration time is delayed, the amount of the deceleration is considered to be small, and as the deceleration speed or the deceleration time is shortened, it can be understood that the amount is large.

For example, when the first rotation speed v1 of the motor 230 is between 100 rpm and 150 rpm, the deceleration rate of the motor in the lot sensing period may be at least a part of between 30 rpm and 90 rpm. The deceleration speed section between 30 rpm (vx) and 90 rpm (vy) may correspond to the linear section T3 excluding the nonlinear section described above. Thereby, it is possible to perform the accurate detection of the mass flow rate.

On the other hand, in the linear section T3, it is also possible to perform the mass detection based on the deceleration rate or the deceleration time during a plurality of deceleration sections, in addition to the deceleration rate or the deceleration time during a certain deceleration section. It is also possible to calculate the final mass detection value by using an average or a weight for a plurality of mass detection values.

On the other hand, the primary mass detection may be performed based on the ripple component of the speed ripple component at the constant speed rotation (for example, v1) of the motor 230, or the output current io flowing to the motor.

9 is a graph showing the relationship between the current Ia generated by the flow of the bubbles in the washing tub 120 when the constant current Ia flows through the motor 230 so that the motor 230 is kept constant at the first rotational speed v1. The ripple component (Ir) is exemplified. The larger the current ripple component (Ir), the greater the amount of surplus can be detected.

On the other hand, although not shown in the drawing, it is also possible that the collecting step in the washing tub is performed before the first rotation of the motor. In such a bubble dispersion, the bubble dispersion can be dispersed by forward rotation or reverse rotation at a rotation speed (v0) lower than the first rotation speed (v1) at the time of detection of the extrusion amount, or repetitive agitation rotation in the forward direction and the reverse direction .

In Fig. 7, it is shown that two revolutions at a constant rotation speed (v0) are performed at a predetermined interval To, but this is only indicative of the magnitude of the speed, and is not related to the direction. In the drawing, two constant rotation speeds (v0) are exemplified, but the number of revolutions is one or more.

The control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 may control the motor 230 to rotate at a constant rotational speed v0. That is, it is possible to control the inverter switching control signal Sic to be outputted to the inverter 420.

Next, it is determined whether the mode is set to the eco mode (S620). If so, water is introduced into the washing tub (S630). Then, the washing tub 120 may be rotated forward, reverse, or normal and reverse (S635).

The eco mode can be entered by the operation signal of the eco key 116 (eco key) in Fig. 3 described above. The control unit 210 can determine whether the echo key 116 is operating or not. When the eco key 116 operates in the operation of the laundry processing apparatus 100, the control unit 210 can control the water to be immediately inputted into the washing tub 120 without executing step 625 (S625) . At this time, the washing tub 120 may be rotated forward, backward, or forward and backward.

This is for the purpose of performing an accurate amount detection when a wet cloth (wet cloth) is put into the washing tub 120 instead of a dry cloth (dry cloth).

The control unit 210 may adjust the amount of water supplied to the washing tub 120 based on the water level detected by the water level sensor 265 or the amount of water detected by the water input sensor 268.

Preferably, the laundry in the washing tub 120 can be controlled so as to be wetted. Here, it is preferable that the amount of water in the washing tub 120 that is wetted is higher than the airflow of the washing tub and is equal to or lower than the laundry blanket level. That is, it is preferable that water is supplied so that only a part of the bag is wetted.

10 illustrates that water is supplied to the water level H 2 corresponding to the water level H 0 between the water level H 0 of the outer tank 124 of the washing tub 120 and the laundry level H 1 of the washing cloth 810. The water is introduced from the water supply flow path 123 by the control of the water supply valve 125 of the control unit 210.

At this time, the control unit 210 controls the motor 230 to control the motor 230 to rotate in the normal direction, the reverse direction, or the reverse direction so that the water to be introduced is well wetted.

The crucible can be positively charged by forward rotation or reverse rotation at a rotational speed (v0) lower than the first rotational speed (v1), or by repeated agitation rotation in forward and reverse directions.

Next, after the water is supplied, a current is applied to rotate the motor in a second rotation (S640) in order to detect a secondary discharge or a porosity. Then, based on the rotation of the motor, the secondary discharge detection or the porosity detection is performed (S645).

The control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 can control the motor 230 to rotate secondarily at a constant first rotational speed v1 by applying an alternating current. That is, it is possible to control the inverter switching control signal Sic to be outputted to the inverter 420. At this time, it is preferable that the alternating current applied to the motor 230 is a sinusoidal current. Thus, the motor 230 can be driven accurately when the amount of the waste is detected.

7 illustrates that the motor 230 rotates at the first rotational speed v1 in the sixth section T6. It is preferable that the sixth section T6 is maintained for a predetermined period or longer so that the motor 230 maintains a constant rotation speed. In addition, it is preferable to keep the interval for detecting the excessive amount for a proper period so as not to be too long.

In the figure, a section rotating at the first rotational speed v1 is illustrated as one circuit, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Meanwhile, the control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 turns off the current applied to the motor 230. That is, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), the three pairs of the upper arm switching elements Sa, Sb and Sc in the inverter 420 and the lower arm switching elements S'a, S'b and S'c are turned off ). Thereby, the motor 230 is decelerated.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the AC current supplied to the motor 230 is turned off for at least a part of the off period, and the deceleration rate or the deceleration time of the motor 230 is used to detect do.

When the AC power supplied to the motor 230 is turned off, the motor 230 for driving the washing tub 120 in which the bag is inserted decelerates as in the seventh section T7 of FIG. In particular, the motor 230 is decelerated nonlinearly for a certain period of time from off, and the speed of the motor 230 is linearly decreased during a certain period T8. Then, the motor 230 is decelerated nonlinearly while the laundry in the washing tub 120 is released again.

In the embodiment of the present invention, during such a linear deceleration period T8, the deceleration rate or the deceleration time of the motor 230 is used to detect the dead volume. The deceleration speed or deceleration time of the motor 230 can be sensed according to the calculated deceleration speed or deceleration time based on the position signal H of the position sensing unit 235 as described above.

For example, as the deceleration speed or the deceleration time is delayed, the amount of the deceleration is considered to be small, and as the deceleration speed or the deceleration time is shortened, it can be understood that the amount is large.

For example, when the first rotation speed v1 of the motor 230 is between 100 rpm and 150 rpm, the deceleration rate of the motor in the lot sensing period may be at least a part of between 30 rpm and 90 rpm. The deceleration speed section between 30 rpm and 90 rpm may correspond to the linear section T8 excluding the nonlinear section described above. Thereby, it is possible to perform the accurate detection of the mass flow rate.

On the other hand, in the linear section T8, it is also possible to perform the mass detection based on the deceleration rate or the deceleration time during a plurality of deceleration sections, in addition to the deceleration rate or the deceleration time during a certain deceleration section. It is also possible to calculate the final mass detection value by using an average or a weight for a plurality of mass detection values.

On the other hand, the control unit 210 can sense the amount of water to be supplied in consideration of the amount of water to be introduced. It is also possible to calculate the final mass detection using the values at the time of detection of the first batch and at the time of detecting the second batch.

In the figure, the constant rotation speed v1 during the detection of the first discharge amount and the second discharge amount during the detection of the second discharge amount are set to the same speed, but the present invention is not limited to this and can be set at different rotation speeds. In particular, the constant rotation speed at the time of detecting the second discharge amount may be larger.

In the drawings, it is described that, in the same deceleration section during the first period and the second period, during the same deceleration period, the actual amount is detected. In contrast, in the different periods, It is also possible. For example, when the amount of water is increased, the weight in the washing tub is increased, and when the second batch is detected, the batch detection can be performed at a higher speed section. By this, it is possible to detect the accurate amount of the discharged amount.

On the other hand, the secondary battery amount detection may be performed based on the ripple component of the speed ripple component at the constant speed rotation (for example, v1) of the motor 230, or the output current io flowing to the motor.

9 shows a state in which when the constant current Ia flows through the motor 230 so that the motor 230 is kept constant at the first rotational speed v1, The current ripple component Ir is generated. The larger the current ripple component (Ir), the greater the amount of surplus can be detected.

On the other hand, the control unit 210 can calculate the operating time of the laundry processing apparatus according to the secondary discharge amount detection or the porosity detection. For example, when the amount is large, the washing time, the rinsing time, the dewatering time, etc. may increase. And, in the case of safflower than the same lotion, the washing time, rinse time, dehydration time and the like may increase.

In addition, the control unit 210 sets at least one of a driving course, a speed at the time of detecting the eccentricity, an acceleration slope at the time of increasing the rotation speed of the motor, or a deceleration speed at the time of decelerating the rotation speed of the motor, .

Fig. 11 (b) illustrates an example of the operation time calculated by the secondary discharge detection. The object 840 representing the eco mode is displayed on the display 118 and the calculated operating time 0:45, 10) may be displayed. Thereby, the user can confirm the calculated operation time based on the accurate detection of the mass flow rate. In particular, unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced.

On the other hand, if it is not set to the eco mode, the operation time calculated on the basis of the quantity or volume detected primarily in step 620 (S620) is displayed (S625). The primary sensed bulk or porcelain may be highly accurate if the porcelain is gauze, but the bulk or porosity detection may be inaccurate if the porcelain is partially fuzzy.

Nevertheless, when the eco mode is not set, the control unit 210 can control to display on the display 118 the operation time calculated based on the quantity of primary quantity or porosity once sensed.

Fig. 11 (a) illustrates an example of the operation time calculated by the first detection. If an object 840 representing the echo mode is displayed on the display 118 in a dimmed manner, it can be seen that the echo mode is off. The operation time (1:00), the washing time (0:30), the rinsing time (0:15), the dehydration time (0:15), and the like calculated on the display 118 can be displayed.

11 (a) and 11 (b), when the eco mode is set, an accurate amount of laundry is detected after water is introduced, and the operating time of the actual laundry processing apparatus is reduced overall as shown in FIG. 11 (b) . As a result, power consumption during operation of the laundry processing apparatus can be reduced.

On the other hand, a braking step for stopping the movement of the motor may be performed after the detection of the amount of mass (S615, S645). To this end, the control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 may control the motor 230 to brak. As the braking method, electric power generation braking, reverse phase braking and the like can be used.

8b, the control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 controls the three pairs of the upper arc rock switching elements Sa, Sb, and Sc in the inverter 420 to perform the power generation braking, for example, And turns on all the lower arm switching elements S'a, S'b, and S'c. Thereby, a closed loop is formed between the inside of the motor 230 and the lower arm switching elements S'a, S'b, S'c, and the residual current is consumed. Thus, the motor 230 is stopped.

As another example, the control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 may control three pairs of the upper arc rock switching elements Sa, Sb, Sc in the inverter 420 as shown in Fig. 8 (b) And turns off all the lower arm switching elements S'a, S'b, and S'c. Thus, a closed loop is formed between the inside of the motor 230 and the upper arm switching elements Sa, Sb, and Sc, thereby consuming the residual current. Thus, the motor 230 is stopped.

The control unit 210 or the inverter control unit 430 applies the switching signal Sic to the inverter 420 so as to rotate in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the motor 230. [ That is, if the phases of the alternating currents applied to the three phases of the motor 230 are in the order of a, b, c phases during the first section T1 or the sixth section T6, It is possible to control the phase of the alternating current applied to the three phases to be in the order of a, cb. Thereby, the motor 230 is stopped by the opposite direction rotating component.

7 illustrates the braking period T4 or the braking period T9 of the motor 230 and it is seen that the motor 230 is braked in a section shorter than the natural deceleration of the motor 230. [ As a result, it is possible to shorten the pulse detection period as a whole.

On the other hand, if the laundry machine is a top load system as shown in FIG. 1, the controller 210 may control the water supply to the washing water level in the washing tub 120 after the washing time display. Thereby, the washing cycle can be performed.

12 is a flowchart showing an operation method of the laundry processing apparatus of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 7, 120, and then senses the second replenishment amount based on the second rotation of the motor 230. As a result, it is possible to carry out accurate detection of a large amount of liquid in both dry and wet clothes.

In particular, the surplus detection is performed by using the deceleration speed or the deceleration time of the motor 230 in a state where the motor 230 is rotated first or secondarily at a constant speed and the current applied to the motor 230 is turned off And the like.

Then, after the detection of the full amount, the motor braking of the electric power generation braking or the reverse phase braking is performed, so that the full amount sensing period can be shortened.

On the other hand, the laundry quantity supplied during washing, the water level of the washing water and the like can be determined according to the sensed amount of laundry.

The eccentricity sensing section Tb senses the amount of eccentricity UB in the washing tub 120 and rotates the washing tub 120 at the second rotational speed v2 to detect the amount of eccentricity. Specifically, the amount of eccentricity can be detected based on the output current (i _o ) value of the motor 230 or the ripple of the output current (i _o ).

The first washing section Tc and the second washing section Td are arranged such that when the amount of eccentricity sensed in the eccentricity detecting section Tb is less than an allowable value, It can be rotated at the speed v4. In the state where the water supply is performed before the first washing section Tc and the second washing section Td, laundry detergent or the like may be put into the washing tub 120 to perform washing. Multiplication can be performed after completion.

Fig. 14 is a view showing an example of the motor rotational speed during the dehydration stroke in Fig. 12; Fig.

The detection period Tl is a period for detecting the amount of the laundry in the washing tub 120. The detection period Tl is a period for detecting the amount of the laundry in the washing tub 120. As shown in FIG 7, 120, and then senses the second replenishment amount based on the second rotation of the motor 230. As a result, it is possible to carry out accurate detection of a large amount of liquid in both dry and wet clothes.

In particular, the surplus detection is performed by using the deceleration speed or the deceleration time of the motor 230 in a state where the motor 230 is rotated first or secondarily at a constant speed and the current applied to the motor 230 is turned off And the like.

Then, after the detection of the full amount, the motor braking of the electric power generation braking or the reverse phase braking is performed, so that the full amount sensing period can be shortened.

On the other hand, the laundry quantity supplied at the time of dewatering, the water level of the washing water and the like can be determined according to the sensed amount of the laundry.

As shown in FIG. 7, it is possible to further perform a bubble dispersing section (not shown) for dispersing the bubble in the washing tub 120 before the blooming detection period Tl. The bubble dispersion section (not shown) can disperse the bubbles by forward rotation or reverse rotation at a speed lower than the first rotation speed v1 or by repetitive agitation rotation in forward and reverse directions.

The first to third eccentricity sensing sections Tm, To and Tq are sections for sensing the amount of eccentricity UB in the washing tub 120. The first to third eccentricity sensing sections Tm, To, and Tq are rotations of the washing tub 120 at the second rotational speed v2, Lt; / RTI > Specifically, the amount of eccentricity can be detected based on the output current (i _o ) value of the motor 230 or the ripple of the output current (i _o ).

When the amount of eccentricity sensed by the first to third eccentricity sensing sections Tm, To, and Tq is equal to or less than an allowable value, the first to third dehydrating sections Tn, Tp, Fifth, and fifth rotational speeds v3, v4, v5). In the state where the water supply is performed before the first dewatering period Tn, dehydration is performed, and drainage can be performed in the middle thereof.

It is also possible that only the first eccentricity sensing period Tm is performed instead of all of the first to third eccentricity sensing periods Tm, To and Tq, unlike the drawing.
