A method of detecting high friction events in a laundry treating appliance includes rotating the drum, determining, during the rotation, a torque of the motor, an acceleration of the drum, a speed of the drum, and/or an angular position of the drum at each of multiple speeds, and repeatedly estimating with a parameter estimator, during the rotation, viscous friction, coulomb friction, and total friction based on the torque, acceleration, speed, and/or angular position of the drum. A high friction even is determined based on the estimated viscous friction, coulomb friction and/or total friction.

A method controls a laundry washing machine (1) including: a casing (2), a washing tub (3) arranged within the casing (2), a rotatable laundry drum (4) which is mounted inside the washing tub (3) and is designed to contain laundry (10), a water-detergent supply system (5,6) designed to supply wash water and detergent into the washing tub (3), and a motor assembly to rotate the laundry drum (4). The method includes the steps of: performing a wash phase, in which a predetermined intermediate spin is performed in a standard way, or skipped, or performed in a modified way, based on one or more detected phase conditions; performing at least a rinse phase, in which a predetermined intermediate spin is performed in a standard way, or skipped, or performed in a modified way, based on one or more detected phase conditions; performing a detection of whether, in a previous wash phase or rinse phase, a predetermined intermediate spin was performed in a standard way, or skipped, or performed in a modified way and, based on the detection, performing a following rinse phase adapted to said detection and/or adding a rinse phase to be performed.

A method for operating a washing machine appliance includes flowing a volume of liquid into a tub, agitating articles within the tub for a first period, the tub containing the volume of liquid, and measuring movement of the tub during agitation of the articles within the tub, the tub containing the volume of liquid. The movement is measured using an accelerometer and a gyroscope. The method further includes agitating articles within the tub for a second period when the final measured movement is greater than an out-of-balance movement threshold, the tub containing the volume of liquid. The method further includes draining liquid from the tub when the final measured movement is less than the out-of-balance movement threshold, and spinning a basket after draining liquid from the tub.

A washing machine having a balancer and a control method thereof which achieve correct communication between a controller and a balancing module such that a balancing module is correctly shifted to a target position. The control method of the washing machine includes measuring a first time between position detection time points of the balancing modules during rotation of the rotary tub when the plurality of balancing modules is in a static mode, measuring a second time between position detection time points of the balancing modules during rotation of the rotary tub when any one of the balancing modules is shifted by a predetermined distance through a movement command, and confirming a relationship between a module ID of any one of the balancing modules and a communication ID of the movement command through a relative variation of the second time with respect to the first time.

A method of removing effects of torque fluctuations caused by activation or deactivation of machine components in estimating inertia from a parameter estimator in a laundry treating appliance includes rotating the drum during a cycle of operation on a laundry load, determining a start time when a machine component is activated or deactivated during the cycle of operation, resetting covariance in a parameter estimator at a predetermined reset time after the start time, repeatedly estimating in the parameter estimator after the reset time, inertia of the laundry load, based on the torque, acceleration, speed, and/or angular position of the drum, processing estimated parameter values from the parameter estimator at a predetermined adjusting time after the predetermined reset time, and adjusting cycle parameters based on the processed estimated parameter values.

Systems and methods for predicting and preventing a cabinet strike event in a washing machine appliance are provided. An exemplary method includes ramping a target speed of a motor from a first speed to a second speed over a ramping period. The method includes computing an average deviation of an observed speed of the motor from the target speed over the ramping period. The method includes computing an average power consumption by the motor over the ramping period. The method includes determining whether both the average deviation is greater than a first threshold value and the average power consumption is greater than a second threshold value. The method includes rebalancing the load if both the average deviation is greater than a first threshold value and the average power consumption is greater than a second threshold value. The method includes performing one or more standard operations if both conditions are not satisfied.

Methods for monitoring load balance in washing machine appliances, and washing machine appliances, are provided. A method includes accelerating rotation of a basket about a central axis within a tub of the washing machine appliance from a first speed to a second speed greater than the first speed. The method further includes detecting a plurality of speed changes during the accelerating step, and summing absolute values of speed differences for each of the plurality of detected speed changes to obtain an unfolded speed value.

A method and apparatus for sensing the level of fluid present in a dispenser, such as a detergent or fabric softener dispenser, of a washing machine appliance and to detecting an out of balance condition for such appliance is provided. A pressure sensor is used to determine the level of fluid present and to provide indications of the same at various levels of use of the fluid. One or more pressure sensors can also be used to detect an out of balance condition when the appliance is a washing machine.
摘要:
Integrated sensing device for sensing both the water level and the rotating unbalance in a washing machine. The sensing device includes a magnetic sensor coupled to the casing of the washing machine and a magnetic body coupled to the washing tub of the washing machine. The sensed magnetic force indicates a position of the washing tub relative to the casing. While the washing water is supplied, the weight of the washing water causes the washing tub to move to a lower position and thereby the sensed magnetic force decreases. The water supply is shut off once the magnetic force decreases to a first preset value. Moreover, during a spin-drying process, if the sensed magnetic field decreases to a second predetermined value which indicates presence of rotating unbalance, the rotation is stopped and a preliminary spin-drying process is initiated.
