여기서, 상기 세제 투입량은 도 3 에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 세탁수의 경도에 따라 결정되는 세제 투입량 곡선(50)에 의해 산출되며, 상기 산출된 세제 투입량에 대한 데이터는 상기 세탁기의 동작을 제어하는 마이컴(미도시)에 미리 저장된다.Here, the detergent input amount is calculated by the detergent input amount curve 50 determined according to the hardness of the wash water, as shown in FIG. 3, and the data about the calculated detergent input amount controls the operation of the washing machine. It is stored in advance in the microcomputer (not shown).
제 4 단계는 상기 제 3 단계에서 세제 투입량이 결정되면 상기에서 설명된 세제 자동 투입 장치(20)가 동작되어 세제가 상기 세탁조(10)내로 투입된다.(S4 참조)In the fourth step, when the detergent input amount is determined in the third step, the automatic detergent input device 20 described above is operated so that the detergent is introduced into the washing tank 10 (see S4).
제 5 단계는 상기 제 4 단계에서 세제가 투입되는 동시에 상기 세탁날개(11)가 교반되며, 세탁수가 급수된다.(S5 참조)In the fifth step, the washing blade 11 is stirred while the detergent is introduced in the fourth step, and the washing water is supplied.
이때, 상기 세제가 투입되는 동시에 세탁날개(11)의 교반과 급수가 수행되는 것은 상기 세제의 용해도를 향상시키기 위함이다.At this time, the agitation and water supply of the washing wing 11 at the same time the detergent is added is to improve the solubility of the detergent.
제 6 단계는 상기 제 5 단계에서 세제 투입이 완료되면 상기 세제 자동 투입 장치(20)의 동작은 정지하고 상기 세탁수 급수 및 세탁날개(11)의 교반만 수행된다.(S6 및 S7 참조)In the sixth step, when the detergent input is completed in the fifth step, the operation of the automatic detergent input device 20 is stopped and only the washing water supply and the stirring of the washing blade 11 are performed (see S6 and S7).
결국, 본 발명에 따른 세탁기의 세제 투입 방법은 세탁 수행전에 급수되는 세탁수의 경도 및 온도를 측정하여 최적의 세제 투입량을 결정함으로써 세탁 효율을 향상시킬 수 있게 되는 것이다.As a result, the detergent input method of the washing machine according to the present invention is to be able to improve the washing efficiency by determining the optimal detergent input amount by measuring the hardness and temperature of the wash water supplied before the washing.
