摘要:
A wash cycle comprising the steps of: loading a wash machine (20) with a fabric load for cleaning, selecting a wash cycle (22) based on at least a color of the fabric load, determining a load size (40) and type, dispensing wash water (44) into the wash machine to form a wash liquor, sensing water quality of the wash water, determining an amount of detergent to add into the wash liquor and a length of time for the wash liquor to be presented to the wash load based on the previous selecting, determining and sensing steps, determining an amount of oxidizing agent to add into the wash liquor and a time for adding the oxidizing agent to the wash liquor based on the selecting, determining and sensing steps, performing washing steps of flexing the fabric load in the presence of the wash liquor, rinsing the fabric load and extracting liquid from the fabric load, while dispensing the detergent and oxidizing agent in accordance with the determinations made, and drying the load based on the selecting, determining and sensing steps.

A wash cycle is provided for a clothes washer, the clothes washer having a wash zone for receiving a substrate load to be cleaned. The wash cycle includes a step of providing a wash liquor for applying to the substrate load. Another step is loading the wash zone with the substrate load. Another step is mixing metal ions with an inactive bleaching agent as catalyst agents to catalyze an activation reaction to produce an active bleaching agent. Another step is combining the active bleaching agent with the wash liquor. Another step is applying the wash liquor with the active bleaching agent to the substrate load. Another step is capturing the metal ions prior to a disposal of the wash liquor.
摘要:
A wash cycle for a clothes washer, the clothes washer having a wash zone defined within a rotating drum having an outer wall, for receiving a load of fabric. The steps include dispensing a volume of a first wash liquor (24) to the wash zone, rotating the drum (26) to move the fabric load toward the outer wall and recirculating the first wash liquor through the fabric load and wash zone, all during a first period of time. The fabric load is then flexed (30) during a second period of time. The cycle continues with the steps of dispensing (32) a volume of a second, different wash liquor to the wash zone, rotating the drum (34) to move the fabric load toward the outer wall and recirculating the second liquor through the fabric load and wash zone during a third period of time. One of the two wash liquors is an oxidizing agent wash liquor. Then the remainder of the wash cycle is completed (38).
摘要:
A washer and a control for an automatic washer to operate the washer through a wash cycle selected based upon a range of conditions of a fabric load to be washed. The control has a plurality of selectable stain type entr6es, each with a particular dedicated wash cycle. The control also has dispensing control over at least two wash liquor additives, one being a detergent and the other being an oxidizing agent. The control operates the dedicated wash cycles, as selected, using both the detergent and the oxidizing agent, however, the detergent and the oxidizing agent may be dispensed in different orders and at different times and in different amounts, depending on the stain type selected.
摘要:
A substrate treating appliance (20) utilizing a plurality of different chemistries for different cycles or different wash loads with a plurality of receptacles (22) for receiving a plurality of cartridges (24) containing the different chemistries. Each receptacle has one half of a lock and key connection arrangement providing a unique interconnection configuration at each receptacle, relative to the remaining receptacles, permitting only a selected type of chemistry cartridge to be accepted at a particular receptacle. A connection effected between the cartridge and the receptacle occurs by rotation of the cartridge (24) relative to the receptacle (22) between an insertion orientation and a locking orientation. Each receptacle is shaped to receive a cylindrical mouth wall of a particular type of chemistry cartridge. Each receptacle (22) may also be uniquely sized, relative to the remaining receptacles, to accept only a selected type of chemistry cartridge. The plurality of receptacles may be arranged adjacent to one another with each cartridge having a configuration that prevents insertion of a cartridge into a receptacle unless every cartridge located in an adjacent receptacle is rotated to the locking orientation.
摘要:
A control for an automatic washer to operate the washer through a wash cycle determined based upon various soils and stains in the substrate load to be washed with a wash liquor in a wash zone of the washer. The control has a plurality of stain/soil type entrées, which can be at least one of selected and detected, and cleaned with a particular wash cycle. The control has dispensing control over at least one wash liquor additive. The control has a user input to permit the user to customize the operation of the control with regard to the dispensing of the various wash liquor additive and a timing mechanism. The control has operational control over the particular wash cycles using the dispensing control to dispense additives to the wash liquor at selected times during the wash cycle.
