Description

세탁기 세탁조의 세정시기 알림방법{WASHING MACHINE}How to notify when the washing machine is washed {WASHING MACHINE}

본 발명은 세탁기 세탁조의 세정시기를 알림하는 방법(이하, 알림방법이라 약칭함)에 관한 것으로써, 상세하게는 세탁조가 세정되어야 하는 최적의 세정시기가 부저음이나 발광소자에 의해 알려질 수 있도록 하여 사용자가 세정과정을 수행해야하는 시기를 쉽게 인지할 수 있도록 한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method of notifying the washing time of the washing machine washing tank (hereinafter, abbreviated as "notification method"), and in detail, so that the optimal cleaning time at which the washing tank should be cleaned can be known by a buzzer sound or a light emitting element. This makes it easy to recognize when the cleaning process should be performed.

일반적으로 세탁기는 세탁물이 내부에 투입되며 바닥면에 세탁날개가 구비된 세탁내조와, 세탁내조의 외측에 구비된 세탁외조가 케이스의 내부에 구비되고, (이하, 세탁내조와 세탁외조는 세탁조로 통칭됨) 세탁내조와 세탁날개가 회전되도록 하기 위해 세탁외조의 하단부에 구동부가 설치되어 구성된다.In general, a washing machine is provided with laundry inside and a washing tank provided with a laundry wing on the bottom surface, and a laundry outer tub provided on the outside of the washing tub inside the case. Collectively) The driving unit is configured to be installed at the lower end of the laundry outer tub for the washing tub and the washing blade is rotated.

상기와 같은 세탁기는 세탁내조의 내부에 세탁물이 투입되고 물이 급수되어 구동부의 구동에 의해 세탁내조와 세탁날개가 회전되면, 세탁물이 세탁내조와 세탁날개의 회전에 의해 발생되는 수류에 의해 세탁된다.In the washing machine as described above, when laundry is put into the washing tub and water is supplied to the washing tub and the blades are driven by the driving unit, the laundry is washed by the water flow generated by the washing tub and the rotation of the washing blade. .

또한, 상기와 같은 세탁과정을 완료한 후, 세탁외조의 내면과 세탁내조의 내, 외면에는 세탁시 세탁물에서 이탈된 오염물질이나 물과 함께 투입된 세제찌꺼기 등이 잔류하게 되는데, 이러한 오염물질은 세탁효율을 저하시키고 세탁물이 재오염되는 우려가 발생된다.In addition, after the above washing process is completed, the inner surface of the washing tank and the inner and outer surfaces of the washing tank are left with contaminants removed from the laundry during washing or detergent debris added with water. There is a concern that the efficiency is reduced and the laundry is recontaminated.

이와 같은 문제점을 해소시키기 위해 세탁조내에 물과 세정제를 투입하고, 세탁조를 회전시켜 발생되는 수류에 의해 오염물질이 제거되도록 하여 세탁기가 청결한 상태를 유지하도록 한다.In order to solve such a problem, water and a detergent are put into the washing tank, and the washing machine is kept clean by removing the pollutants by the water flow generated by rotating the washing tank.

상기와 같은 세정과정의 수행은 세탁기 사용자가 수시로 실시하게 되는데, 이러한 세정과정을 너무 자주 실시하게 되면 물과 세정세제의 낭비를 초래하여, 결국 사용자가 오염물질이 세탁조에 침적된 상태를 확인하고 세정과정을 실시하는 것이 가장 바람직하게 된다.The washing process is often performed by the washing machine user. If the washing process is performed too frequently, waste of water and detergent may be caused, so that the user checks the state in which the contaminants are deposited in the washing tank and washes. It is most desirable to carry out the procedure.

그러나, 세탁외조의 내벽면이나 세탁내조의 외벽면에 잔류하는 오염물질은 세탁기를 분해하지 않고는 확인하기가 불가능하여 결국 오염된 세탁물의 세탁결과로 이를 판단하게 되며, 이러한 상태는 이미 세탁물이 재오염된 상태일 뿐만 아니라 이미 세탁조에 상당량의 오염물질이 잔류하기 때문에 세탁기의 성능저하에 영향을 끼치게 된다.However, the contaminants remaining on the inner wall surface of the laundry outer tank or the outer wall of the laundry inner tank cannot be identified without disassembling the washing machine, and thus it is judged as a result of washing the contaminated laundry. Not only is it contaminated, but also a considerable amount of contaminants remain in the washing tank, which affects the performance of the washing machine.

본 발명은 상기 문제점을 해소시키기 위해 창안된 것으로써, 세탁과정의 횟수, 세탁물의 종류, 세탁세제의 투입량을 판단하여 세탁조의 세정과정을 수행하기 위한 시기가 각종 알림부저에 의해 알림되도록 함으로써, 최적의 시기마다 세정과정이 수행될 수 있도록 하여 세탁조가 항상 청결한 상태를 유지할 수 있도록 한 세정방법을 제공함에 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, by determining the number of washing process, the type of laundry, the amount of laundry detergent to be notified by various notification buzzer to perform the cleaning process of the washing tank, It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning method in which the washing tank can be kept clean at all times, so that the washing tank can be kept clean at all times.
