Next, the laundry method according to the present invention will be described.

2 is a view showing an example of a laundry washing method according to the present invention,

Washing method of the laundry is the first water supply step (S10), the washing step (S20), the first draining step (S30), the first dehydration step (S40), the second water supply step (S50), the rinsing step (S60), a second drainage step (S80), and a second dehydration step (S90).

The first water supply step (S10) is to supply the wash water to the outer tank 20, in the present embodiment the first water supply step (S10) is the wash water determined by measuring the amount of laundry contained in the inner tank (30) The amount of is supplied to the outer tank 20 through the water supply passage (50).

In the washing step S20, when the supply of the washing water to the outer tub 20 is completed through the first water supply step S10, the inner tub 30 or the pulsator 35 rotates to wash the laundry. In the present embodiment, the washing step S20 washes the laundry while the pulsator 35 is rotated by the motor 40.

The first drainage step (S30) is to discharge the wash water contained in the outer tub 20 during the washing step (S20), in this embodiment to discharge the wash water contained in the outer tub 20 through the drainage passage (60) To operate the pump 64.

3 is a view showing an example of the rinsing provided in the laundry method according to the present invention, the first dehydration step (S40) is to spin the inner tank 30 to dehydrate the laundry, the first dehydration in the present embodiment In step S40, the laundry is dewatered by rotating the inner tub 30 at a high speed so that the laundry is attached to the inner wall of the inner tub 30. At this time, the washing water dewatered from the laundry in the inner tank 30 is discharged through the drain passage (60). 4 is a view showing an example of dehydration of the laundry provided in the laundry washing method according to the present invention, in this embodiment shows a state that the laundry is attached to the inner wall of the inner tank 30 through the first dehydration step (S40). .

In Figure 3, the second water supply step (S50) is to supply the wash water to the outer tub 20 to rinse the laundry, in the present embodiment the second water supply step (S50) through the water supply passage 50 20) to supply the wash water. At this time, the washing water supplied to the outer tub 20 is the amount of the sensor 70 detects the water level of the washing water so that the appropriate level of the washing water (for example, the laundry placed on the bottom of the inner tub 30 is locked). ) Is supplied only (S62). Accordingly, the washing water rotates while the pulsator 35 rotates, and the laundry is placed on the bottom surface of the inner tub 30 by the rotation of the washing water. The amount of wash water supplied in this way serves to transfer the rotation of the inner tub 30 or pulsator to the laundry in placing the laundry attached to the inner tub 30 through the dehydration process at the bottom of the inner tub 30. By doing so, it is possible to facilitate and facilitate the laundry to be placed on the bottom of the inner tub 30.

In FIG. 2, the rinsing step (S60) rotates the laundry in a state in which the washing water is contained in the inner tank 30, and in the present embodiment, the rinsing step (S60) rotates the laundry in the inner bath 30 to wash the laundry in the washing water. Rinse In the present embodiment, the rinsing step S60 includes a stirring step S64, a first rinsing step S66, and a second rinsing step S68.

In FIG. 3, the stirring step S66 is to rotate at least a part of the inner tub 30 so that the laundry is placed on the bottom surface of the inner tub 30 using the washing water supplied in the second supply stage S50. In the embodiment, the stirring step S66 rotates the inner tub 30 or the pulsator 35 so that laundry attached to the inner wall of the inner tub 30 is located on the bottom surface of the inner tub 30. As shown in FIG. 4, in the state in which the first dehydration step S40 is completed, as shown in FIG. 5, the pulsator 35 in the laundry located on the bottom surface of the inner tank 30 through the second water supply step S50. When the water supply is made so that the rotational force can be transmitted, and when one or left and right rotations of the pulsator 35 are made through the stirring step S66, as shown in FIG. It is placed in, it is possible to proceed to the rinsing step (S60) quickly.

In FIG. 3, the first rinsing step (S66) is performed together with the water supply of the wash water to rinse the laundry by rotating at least a portion of the inner tub 30. In the present embodiment, the first rinsing step S66 rotates the pulsator 35 while rinsing the laundry while supplying the washing water to the laundry located on the bottom surface of the inner tank 30 through the stirring step S64. At this time, the water supply may be configured so that the water supply is stopped when the water supply is above a certain level.

The second rinsing step (S68) proceeds with the drainage of the wash water to rinse the laundry by rotating at least a portion of the inner tub 30. In the present embodiment, the second rinsing step (S68) operates the pump 64 to rinse the laundry by rotating the pulsator 35 while draining the washing water contained in the outer tub 30.

Through the first dehydration step (S40), the second water supply step (S50), the stirring step (S64), the first rinsing step (S66) and the second rinsing step (S68), the rinsing time of the laundry can be shortened. For example, the time spent conventionally dehydrating laundry (6 minutes), supplying the washing water (3 minutes), rinsing the laundry (2 minutes), and draining the washing water (3 minutes) (3 minutes; S40), by partially watering the washing water (1 minute; S50), by stirring the laundry (20 seconds; S64), by rinsing the laundry while supplying the washing water and rinsing the laundry while draining the washing water ( 1 minute 40 seconds; S66, S68) is shortened.

In FIG. 2, the second dehydration step S90 is to spin the inner tub 30 in which the wash water is completely drained to dehydrate the laundry. In the present embodiment, the second dewatering step S90 reduces vibration caused by the eccentricity of the laundry. Initially, the inner tank 30 may be rotated at low speed or intermittently to dehydrate the laundry, and then the inner tank 30 may be rotated at high speed to dehydrate the laundry.

The present invention has the effect of providing a laundry washing method that can reduce the consumption time for rinsing the laundry by supplying a small amount of washing water and stirring the laundry.

In addition, the present invention has the effect of providing a laundry washing method that can rinse the laundry even with a small amount of washing water supply.

In another aspect, the present invention has the effect of providing a washing method of laundry to reduce the washing time by proceeding the rinsing of the laundry at the same time as the supply of the wash water.

In another aspect, the present invention has the effect of providing a laundry washing method that can reduce the washing time by proceeding to rinse the laundry at the same time as the drainage of the wash water.
