  • an electrode 200 for sensing conductivity of the washing water.
  • the electrode sensor 200 is controlled by the control unit 300 which controls the washing machine.
  • Hardness of the washing water is influenced from ions dissolved in the washing water. If the detergent dissolves in the washing water to form ions, the hardness of the washing water becomes higher. Because the higher the hardness of the washing water, the higher the ion content of the washing water, the conductivity of the washing water also becomes the higher.
  • the amount of the detergent can be calculated by means of the electrode sensor 200 which measures the conductivity.
  • the electrode sensor 200 is also known as an eco sensor or a smart sensor. And, the rinsing course with the eco sensor is called as a safe rinsing (Since the electrode sensor is shown as an example of the eco sensor, the eco sensor will be described without giving an additional reference numeral thereto).
  • the washing machine having the eco sensor applied thereto automatically sets the washing parameters or the courses according to the amount of the laundry, or sets the rinsing course again proper to the amount of the laundry or the hardness of the washing water measured even if the user sets the courses of washing, rinsing, and spinning.
  • a rinsing time period, a number of rinsing times, an amount of the washing water to be used in the rinsing, and so on are set again according to the remained detergent for performing the rinsing course.
  • the rinsing course can be progressed different from the rinsing course the user sets. In this case it is required to inform this to the user for preventing the user from changing the setting for progressing the proper rinsing course according to a state of the washing water and the amount of the detergent.
  • the eco sensor In the washing machine having the electrode sensor, called as the eco sensor, applied thereto, a method for giving information on a change of the rinsing course by the eco sensor to the user will be described. At first, a method for calculating the detergent amount by using the eco sensor will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 6 .
  • the washing water is supplied to a first water level to the tub 120 , and first hardness of the washing water supplied to the tub 120 is measured (S 110 ).
  • the first hardness is hardness of pure washing water having no detergent contained therein.
  • the hardness of the pure washing water can be measured by making the pure washing water to be supplied to the tub 120 by leading the washing water to a reserve space in the detergent supplying unit 142 for holding reserve detergent which the user does not use generally.
  • the first hardness is obtained by measuring the conductivity of the washing water applied to the electrode sensor 200 , and calculating the first hardness with reference to the conductivity of the washing water measured thus.
  • the first hardness measured thus is stored in the memory 250 .
  • the washing water is supplied to a second water level through the steps of opening the water supply valve 141 , and introduction of the detergent and the washing water to the tub 120 together as the washing water is made to pass through the detergent supply unit 142 .
  • the conductivity of the washing water is sensed with the electrode sensor 200 (S 120 ).
  • the drum 130 rotates for about 7 ⁇ 8 minutes, to agitate the laundry, not only wetting of the laundry is made, but also uniform dissolution of the detergent is made. It is preferable that the measurement of the conductivity of the washing water is made by means of the electrode sensor 200 in a state the detergent is dissolved in the washing water adequately thus.
  • the conductivity of the washing water is higher substantially when the power detergent is dissolved in the washing water compared to a case when the liquid detergent is dissolved in the washing water. Therefore, if the conductivity of the washing water is higher than the preset value, the washing course proceeds to a powder detergent washing course (S 160 ), and if the conductivity of the washing water is lower than the preset value, the washing course proceeds to a liquid detergent washing course (S 170 ).
  • the detergent amount dissolved in the washing water is calculated with reference to the conductivity of the washing water measured at the electrode sensor 200 (S 210 in FIG. 5 , and S 310 in FIG. 6 ).
  • the detergent amount dissolved in the washing water can be calculated from a detergent determination table input in advance, wherein the detergent determination table is a table showing the detergent amount dissolved in the washing water with reference to the conductivity of the washing water.
  • a rinsing pattern is set according to the detergent amount calculated thus, and if the washing course is finished, the rinsing course is performed according to the rinsing pattern set thus.
  • the rinsing pattern is a concept which includes parameters that can influence to the rinsing, such as a rinsing water level, a rinsing time period, a number of rinsing times, and so on.
  • the rinsing course may be set such that the greater the detergent amount calculated thus, the higher the rinsing level, and the greater the rinsing time period and the number of rinsing times.
  • the washing pattern is a concept which includes parameters that can influence to a washing capability in performing washing, such as a washing water level, a washing time period, a heating time period of a heater, and so on in the washing course.
  • the powder detergent washing course is different from the liquid detergent washing course in that a brief rinsing is performed at an end of the washing course (S 215 ).
  • the brief rinsing is rinsing of the detergent absorbed in the laundry at the end of the washing course, in which an amount of the washing water smaller than the rinsing course performed after the washing course is used, and the laundry is rinsed for a time period shorter than the rinsing course performed after the washing course.
  • the conductivity of the washing water is also measured with the electrode sensor 200 , and the remained detergent amount after the initial rinsing course is calculated with reference to the conductivity of the washing water measured thus (S 230 in FIG. 5 , and S 330 in FIG. 6 ).
  • the remained detergent amount after the initial rinsing course is calculated for determining whether an additional rinsing is performed or not with reference to the detergent amount calculated thus.
  • a final rinsing is performed (S 240 and S 340 ), and if the detergent amount calculated thus is higher than the preset value, an additional rinsing is performed between the initial rinsing and the final rinsing (S 250 in FIG. 5 , and S 350 in FIG. 6 ).
  • the additional rinsing is a rinsing performed additionally between the initial rinsing performed initially and the final rinsing performed finally after the washing course is finished, selectively.
  • the rinsing with the powder detergent is poorer than the rinsing with the liquid detergent. Therefore, as the detergent amount dissolved in the washing water is generally higher than the preset value in the initial rinsing if the powder detergent is introduced, in most of cases, the additional rinsing is performed in the rinsing course of the powder detergent washing course. However, in the liquid detergent washing course, the additional rinsing is performed only when the detergent amount dissolved in the washing water is higher than the preset value in the initial rinsing.
  • the additional rinsing is determined with reference to the detergent amount calculated thus, at the time a first time rinsing course is performed after a final water supply and heating is finished after the washing is finished, in which a number of the rinsing times changes, the change of a number of the rinsing times is informed to the user.
  • the informing of the change can be made by displaying a particular pattern on the display unit 117 a.
  • the particular pattern may be a kai pattern or the like that makes rotation of the laundry into a pattern.
  • the kai pattern makes one time of partial rotation of the drum in left/right direction (a swing action) into a pattern.
  • a swing action By displaying the swing action repeatedly for around two times, the change of the rinsing pattern owing to operation of the eco sensor (the electrode sensor described before) is informed to the user.
  • the kai pattern may be displayed on a C part in FIG. 3 .
  • the operation of the eco sensor is informed in advance by displaying a message that a detergent concentration is under checking, the particular pattern like the kai pattern may be displayed at the time an actual rinsing is performed changed from an original rinsing pattern set before.
  • the pattern display is made at a first time of the changed rinsing course, preferably by repeating the swing action for around 20 seconds before the washing water is drained after the rinsing course.
  • control unit 300 controls the display unit 117 a so that the particular pattern, such as the kai pattern, can be shown to the user at the same time with the determination of the additional rinsing in the S 250 and S 350 steps in FIGS. 5 and 6 .
