Definitions
- the present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine, in which a heating course is selected in the rinsing operation to increase sterilization of laundry and removal of residual detergent.
- a washing machine removes dust from laundry us,ing chemical reaction of a detergent dissolved in washing water and friction between the washing water and , the laundry due to rotating hydraulic power of the washing water generated by mechanical reaction, and selectively perform washing, rinsing, and dehydrating operations.
- the above rinsing operation is a process for rinsing detergent components and contaminants from laundry by supplying washing water, which is not mi) ⁇ ed with a detergent, to the laundry.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a general washing machine
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a conventional method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine.
- a conventional washing machine comprises an input unit 11 for allowing a user to input a control signal for controlling operations of the washing machine, a controller 12 for controlling the overall operation of the washing machine according to an output signal of the input unit 11, a water supply valve driving unit 16 for operating water supply valves, such as a cold water valve, a hot water valve, and a shower valve, under the control of the controller 12, a drain valve driving unit 17 for operating a drain valve so that washing water supplied through the water supply valve driving unit 16 is drained, a water level sensing unit 14 for sensing a water level in a tub, a rotational speed sensing unit 15 for sensing a rotational speed of the tub, a motor driving unit 13 for operating a motor to perform a washing operation according to a control signal of the controller 12, and a heating unit (not shown) for heating or drying the washing water.
- a rinsing operation is performed, as described bellow
- the laundry is intermittently dehydrated for a designated time. After the intermittent dehydrating of the laundry is completed, the laundry is dehydrated at a rotational speed differing from that of the intermittent dehydrating of the laundry for a designated time (S204).
- the rinsing operations are repeated a designated number of times. After one rinsing operation is finished, it is determined whether or not the designated number of times of the rinsing operations have been performed (S206). When it is determined that the designated number of times of the rinsing operations have not been yet performed, another rinsing operation is performed (S 207).
- An object of the present invention devised to solve the problem lies on a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine, in which a heating course is selected in the rinsing operation to increase sterilization of laundry and removal of residual detergent Technical Solution
- the object of the present invention can be achieved by providing a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine comprising selecting a washing course; and performing the rinsing operation comprising heating rinsing water, when the selected washing course is a rinsing/sterilization reinforcing course.
- the method further comprises selecting a first rinsing mode for repeating the rinsing operations and heating the rinsing water, when the rinsing/sterilization reinforcing course is selected.
- the method further comprises selecting a second rinsing mode for only repeating - the rinsing operations, when the rinsing/sterilization reinforcing course is selected.
- the number of times of the repeated rinsing operations when the rinsing/sterilization reinforcing course is selected is larger than the number of times of the repeated rinsing operations when another washing course is selected.
- a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine comprising selecting a rinsing mode before a washing operation is started; and performing the rinsing operation, comprising heating rinsing water, according to the selected rinsing mode, when the washing operation according to a selected washing course is completed.
- the rinsing mode is one selected from the group consisting of a first mode for repeating the rinsing operations and heating the rinsing water and a second mode for only repeating the rinsing operations.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a general washing machine
- FIG. 2 is a flow chart illustrating a conventional method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine in accordance with the present invention.
- FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for controlling a rinsing operatipn of a washing machine in accordance with the present invention.
- the method of the present invention comprises setting a medic care program, which raises the temperature of rinsing water, for rinsing laundry, using a heating unit, to a designated temperature in the rinsing operation.
- the heating of the rinsing ⁇ water is performed in the final rinsing operation in consideration of the removal of residual detergent and the sterilization of the laundry.
- the medic care program for increasing the sterilization of the laundry and the rinsing capacity is selected so that the repetition of the rinsing operations and the heating of the rinsing water are performed, and in the other mode of the first and second modes, the only repetition of the rinsing operations is performed.
- the washing operation is performed according to the set course (S302), and is completed (S3O3), dirty washing water resulting from the washing operation is drained
- the laundry is intermittently dehydrated for a designated time, and, after the intermittent dehydration is completed, the laundry is dehydrated at a rotational speed differing from that of the intermittent dehydration for a designated time (S305).
- the dehydrating operation may be performed by a different method.
- the rinsing mode selected by the user is determined (S306).
- the rinsing mode includes the repetition of the rinsing operations and the heating of the rinsing water, the rinsing operations are performed, as follows.
- one rinsing operation includes supplying water, rinsing, and draining.
- the rinsing operations are repeated a designated number of times. After one rinsing operation is completed, it is determined whether or not the designated number of times of the rinsing operations have been performed (S307), and the rinsing operations are repeated until the designated number of times is reached according to the determined result (S310) .
- the rinsing water is heated so that the temperature of the rinsing water is raised to a designated temperature using the heating unit (S309).
- the heating of the rinsing water is not limited to the final rinsing operation.
- the heating of the rinsing water using the heating unit may be performed at each of a designated number of times of the rinsing operations in the late stage, including the final rinsing operation, of the overall rinsing operations.
- the reason that the heating of the rinsing water is limited to the designated number of times of the rinsing operations in the late stage of the overall rinsing operations is that various factors, such as energy efficiency, sterilization of laundry, and removal of residual detergent, are considered.
- the present invention provides a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine, in which the temperature of rinsing water is raised using a heating unit a number of times selected from the total number of times of rinsing operations, thereby increasing an overall rinsing capacity in the rinsing operations.
- the method of the present invention increases an overall washing capacity of the washing machine to increase consumer satisfaction, and allows laundry to be sanitized.
