도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명의 실시예에 따른 드럼세탁기는 전반적인 제어를 수행하는 제어부(30)를 구비한다.As shown in Figure 2, the drum washing machine according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a control unit 30 for performing overall control.

이 제어부(30)의 입력측에는 회전조(3) 내에 공급된 세탁수의 수위를 검출하는 수위검출센서(31)와, 회전조(3) 내에 공급된 세탁수의 수온을 검출하는 수온검출센서(32)가 전기적으로 연결된다.On the input side of the control unit 30, a water level detection sensor 31 for detecting the water level of the washing water supplied into the rotating tank 3, and a water temperature detection sensor for detecting the water temperature of the washing water supplied to the rotating tank 3 ( 32 is electrically connected.

이 제어부(30)의 출력측에는 냉수호스(7a)에 설치된 냉수밸브(11a)와 온수호 스(7b)에 설치된 온수밸브(11b)를 구동시키는 밸브구동부(33)와, 구동모터(4)를 구동시키는 모터구동부(34)와, 배수펌프(10)를 구동시키는 펌프구동부(35)와, 히터(20)를 구동시키는 히터구동부(36)가 전기적으로 연결된다.On the output side of the control unit 30, a valve driving unit 33 for driving a cold water valve 11a provided in the cold water hose 7a and a hot water valve 11b provided in the hot water hose 7b, and a drive motor 4 are provided. The motor driver 34 for driving, the pump driver 35 for driving the drainage pump 10, and the heater driver 36 for driving the heater 20 are electrically connected to each other.

상기한 제어부(30)는 최종 탈수행정 직전의 마지막 헹굼시, 밸브구동부(33)를 통해 냉수밸브(16)와 온수밸브(17)를 선택적으로 또는 함께 작동시켜 필요에 따라 회전조(3) 내에 냉수만을 공급하여 급수하거나, 냉수와 온수를 교대로 공급하여 급수한다. 상기 제어부(30)는 급수의 완료를 급수시간을 카운트하거나, 급수된 물이 설정수위에 도달하였는지를 판단하여 인식한다.The control unit 30 operates the cold water valve 16 and the hot water valve 17 selectively or together through the valve driving unit 33 at the time of the last rinsing immediately before the final dehydration stroke, and then, if necessary, in the rotary tank 3. Water is supplied by supplying only cold water, or by supplying cold water and hot water alternately. The control unit 30 recognizes the completion of the water supply by counting the water supply time or by determining whether the water supply has reached the set water level.

본 발명에서는 크게 냉수의 헹굼수만을 급수하여 마지막 헹굼을 수행하는 경우와, 냉수와 온수 모두를 급수하여 마지막 헹굼을 수행하는 경우로 구분할수 있다. 먼저, 냉수의 헹굼수만을 급수하여 마지막 헹굼을 수행하는 경우, 제어부(30)는 밸브구동부(33)를 통해 냉수밸브(11a)를 개방하여 설정수위까지 냉수의 헹굼수를 급수한다. 그리고, 급수와 함께 히터구동부(36)를 통해 히터(20)를 작동시켜 급수된 냉수의 헹굼수를 가열하여 헹굼수의 온도를 미리 설정된 온도로 상승시킨다. In the present invention, it can be divided into a case of performing the last rinsing by supplying only rinsing water of cold water and a case of performing the last rinsing by supplying both cold and hot water. First, when the final rinsing is performed by supplying only the rinsing water of the cold water, the controller 30 opens the cold water valve 11a through the valve driving unit 33 to supply the rinsing water of the cold water to the set water level. Then, the heater 20 is operated through the heater driver 36 together with the water supply to heat the rinsing water of the cold water supplied to increase the temperature of the rinsing water to a preset temperature.

이 후 온도 상승된 헹굼수를 이용하여 세탁물을 헹굼으로서 따뜻한 물이 세탁물에 닿으면서 세탁물의 경직성이 적어지고, 포풀림이 원활해져 세탁물이 부드러워진 상태에서 최종 탈수행정에 진입하게 되므로, 탈수성능이 향상되게 된다. 이때, 헹굼수의 온도는 최종 탈수행정 후 세탁물의 잔류수분량에 의해 결정되는데, 도 3에 도시된 바와 같이, 헹굼수온도와 잔류수분량의 상관관계에 따라 헹굼수온도 를 20 내지 30사이의 온도로 상승시킨다. 이는 실험결과 헹굼수의 20이하일 때에는 잔류수분량이 높지만, 20에서 잔류수분량이 급격히 줄어들고, 30이상일 때에는 헹굼수온도를 높이더라도 잔류수분량이 그다지 큰 폭으로 줄어들지 않기 때문이다.After rinsing the laundry by using the rinsed water, the temperature of the water is increased, the warm water reaches the laundry, the rigidity of the laundry decreases, the foaming is smooth, and the laundry enters the final dehydration stroke in a soft state, thereby improving dehydration performance. Will be. At this time, the temperature of the rinsing water is determined by the residual water content of the laundry after the final dehydration stroke, as shown in Figure 3, according to the correlation between the rinsing water temperature and the residual water amount to the temperature of the rinsing water between 20 to 30 Raise.
