Description

세탁기 및 그 제어방법{Washing machine and of the same method}Washing machine and its control method {Washing machine and of the same method}

본 발명은 세탁기에 관한 것으로, 특히 외부에서 유무선 또는 인터넷을 통해 세탁기의 동작을 제어할 수 있도록 한 세탁기 및 그 제어방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to a washing machine and a control method for controlling the operation of the washing machine through the wired or wireless or the Internet from the outside.

일반적으로 세탁기는 기 설정된 알고리즘에 따라 세탁, 헹굼, 탈수 등의 과정을 거쳐 오염된 세탁물로부터 오염물질을 제거하는 기기로서, 회전날개, 외조 또는 내조(세탁조/탈수조)의 수평방향 회전을 이용한 전자동 세탁기 또는 드럼의 수직방향 회전을 이용한 드럼 세탁기로 크게 구분할 수 있다.In general, a washing machine is a device that removes contaminants from contaminated laundry through washing, rinsing, and dehydration according to a predetermined algorithm, and is fully automatic using horizontal rotation of a rotary blade, outer tank, or inner tank (washing tank / dehydrating tank). A washing machine or a drum washing machine using vertical rotation of the drum can be broadly classified.

이러한 세탁기는 사용자의 다양한 욕구에 대응하기 위하여 다양한 세탁코스, 기능 등이 개발되고 실제 제품에 적용되고 있다.Such a washing machine has been developed for a variety of washing courses, functions, etc. in order to respond to a variety of needs of the user and applied to the actual product.

이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 종래 기술에 따른 세탁기를 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, a washing machine according to the prior art will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

도 1은 종래 기술에 따른 세탁기의 구성을 개략적으로 나타낸 블록도이다.1 is a block diagram schematically showing the configuration of a washing machine according to the prior art.

종래 기술에 따른 세탁기는 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 사용자가 각종 세탁관련 동작 명령을 입력하기 위한 키 입력부(10)와, 세탁날개, 내조 또는 외조를 직접 또는 간접적으로 회전시키기 위한 모터(20)와, 급수밸브, 배수밸브 등의 부하(30)와, 세탁기의 기능 및 동작상태를 표시하기 위한 디스플레이부(40)와, 상기 키 입력부(10)를 통해 입력된 사용자의 동작 명령에 상응하는 세탁동작이 이루어지도록 상기 모터(20), 부하(30)의 구동을 제어하고 해당 동작상태 또는 기능 표시가 이루어지도록 상기 디스플레이부(40)를 제어하기 위한 시스템 마이컴(50)을 포함하여 구성된다.As shown in FIG. 1, the washing machine according to the related art includes a key input unit 10 for a user to input various washing-related operation commands, and a motor 20 for directly or indirectly rotating a washing blade, an inner tub, or an outer tub. And a load 30 such as a water supply valve and a drain valve, a display unit 40 for displaying a function and an operation state of the washing machine, and washing corresponding to a user's operation command input through the key input unit 10. The system 20 includes a system microcomputer 50 for controlling the driving of the motor 20 and the load 30 to perform an operation, and for controlling the display unit 40 to display a corresponding operation state or function.

이때 디스플레이부(40)는 LED(Light Emitting Diode)가 사용되고 시스템 마이컴(50)내에는 변경 불가능한 세탁관련 프로그램을 저장하고 있는 롬(ROM)이 구비된다.At this time, the display unit 40 is provided with a light emitting diode (LED) and a ROM (ROM) for storing a non-changeable laundry related program in the system microcomputer 50.

이와 같이 구성된 종래 기술에 따른 세탁기의 동작을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation of the washing machine according to the prior art configured as described above are as follows.

먼저, 사용자가 세탁기의 전원을 온 시키고 세탁 조 내에 세탁물을 투입한 다음 키 입력부(10)를 통해 세탁명령을 입력한다.First, the user turns on the washing machine, puts laundry into the washing tub, and then inputs a washing instruction through the key input unit 10.

이어서 시스템 마이컴(50)은 상기 세탁명령을 인식하고 내부의 롬에서 해당 세탁 프로그램을 읽어 들여 이를 바탕으로 모터(20) 및 각종 부하(30)를 구동하여 세탁을 수행한다.Subsequently, the system microcomputer 50 recognizes the washing instruction, reads the washing program from the internal ROM, and drives the motor 20 and various loads 30 based on the washing program.

그리고 상기 디스플레이부(40)를 제어하여 각종 세탁코스 및 현재 세탁진행 상태 등을 표시한다.In addition, the display unit 40 is controlled to display various washing courses and the current washing progress.
