Abstract:
A method for washing laundry and a washing machine, in which balancing of the laundry load is effectively carried out. The method for washing includes supplying wash water mixed with a detergent, spinning or rinsing the laundry by rotating the washing machine drum in which the laundry is located, thereby causing the laundry to be repeatedly lifted within and then fall towards the bottom of the drum. The method further involves balancing the laundry by repeatedly accelerating and decelerating the drum. The wash water is then drained.
Abstract:
A washing machine is disclosed. The washing machine has a function of rotating a drum (130) at a low speed when a user pulls out laundry, enabling the user to easily search through the laundry. The washing machine includes a cabinet (100) defining an exterior appearance of the washing machine, a tub (120) mounted in the cabinet (100) and configured to receive wash water therein, a drum (130) rotatably mounted in the tub (120) and configured to receive laundry therein, an independent drive input unit (200) to send a drum rotating signal, so as to allow a user to operate the drum (130) independently of a washing process, and a control unit to control rotation of the drum (130) in response to a signal received from the independent drive input unit (200).
Abstract:
A control method of a laundry machine is disclosed. The control method of a laundry machine includes a vibration sensing step configured to sense vibration of a drum (320), transient region passing identifying step configured to identify transient region passing of the drum (320) in case the vibration of the drum (320) sensed in the vibration sensing step is a preset vibration value or more and a drum rotation speed controlling step configured to control the rotation speed of the drum (320) based on whether the rotation speed of the drum (320) passes a transient region.
Abstract:
A control method of a laundry machine is disclosed. The control method of laundry machine having a drum, a front balancer provided with a front portion of the drum and a rear balancer provided with a rear portion of the drum includes accelerating the drum and rotating the drum at a constant speed of a predetermined rotation speed for a predetermined time period, the predetermined rotation speed allowing that perpendicular displacement at the front portion of the drum is different from that at the rear portion of the drum.
Abstract:
A control method of a laundry machine is disclosed. The control method of a laundry machine comprising a balancer includes an unbalance sensing step, wherein the unbalance sensing step recognizes an unbalancemaximum value and an unbalanceminimum value of an unbalance wave and the unbalance sensing step determines an average value of the two unbalance maximumvalue and unbalanceminimum value to be of the unbalance generated in a drum provided in the laundry machine.
Abstract:
A laundry treating apparatus and a control method thereof are disclosed. A laundry treating apparatus includes a casing (10), a tub (15) provided in the casing (10), rotatable drum (20) provided in the tub (15), a water supply part (40, 45) provided in the casing (10) to supply water to the rotatable drum (20) and a solvent supply part (70, 71, 72, 73) supplying dry-cleaning solvent to the rotatable drum (10).
Abstract:
A washing machine and washing method therefor are provided. In the washing method, in which a drum of a drum type washing machine is rotated in a first direction, the method includes applying a first directional torque to the drum so that laundry in the drum is rotated and lifted; braking the drum so that the laundry is dropped; and then again applying the first directional torque to the drum so that the dropped laundry is rotated and lifted again.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for switching a power transmission mode of a washing machine id disclosed, to prevent malfunction and damages of the washing machine by switching the power transmission mode stably in which the method includes: (a) rotating the cam (600) by driving the clutch motor (60); (b) counting the number of pulses of power supplied to the clutch motor (60); and (c) maintaining the rotation of the cam (600) until the ounted number of pulses is equal to, or greater than a preset number of pulses.
Abstract:
There is provided a reliable method for sensing a laundry amount and a method for controlling a washing machine, in which a method for sensing a laundry amount is performed appropriately according to the laundry amount. According to the method of the present invention, the reliability in the sensed laundry amount is improved.
Abstract:
A drum type washing machine has an access hole and a drum door for closing the access hole provided on the cylindrical sidewall of the drum. The enclosure of the washing machine includes an access opening that aligns with the assess hole of the drum. A motor of the washing machine is coupled to both the drum door and the drum itself. Thus, the motor can be used to rotate the drum and the door during washing operations. A clutch unit selectively couples and decouples the motor from the drum so that the drum door can be rotated with respect to the drum to open and close the access hole of the drum.
