摘要： An autonomously actuated washing and drying device includes a rigid frame configured to pivot about a pivot shaft, a combined washing and drying tub and drum assembly suspended within the frame, and a controller in operable communication with a pivot motor for rotating the pivot shaft and a drive motor for spinning the drum. The pivot shaft is configured to rotate the frame from an upright orientation to an inverted orientation. The controller is configured to instruct the pivot motor to rotate the frame to the upright orientation for receiving at least one deformable article into an opening of the drum, and rotate the frame to a wash orientation between the upright orientation and inverted orientation. The controller is configured to execute a washing and drying routine based on parameters including instructing the drive motor to spin the drum about a drive axis at the wash orientation.

摘要： A laundry machine includes a tub, a drum that is rotatably mounted in the tub, and an induction heater that is provided in the tub and configured to heat an outer circumferential surface of the drum. The laundry machine also includes a motor that is configured to rotate the drum, a user interface comprising a course selection unit that is configured to allow a user to select a course, and an option selection unit that is configured to allow the user to select option information that is related with the course selected. The laundry machine further includes a processor that is configured to control the drum rotation speed and the induction heater. The course selection unit comprises a wash-drying course that performs heat-spinning by default, the heat-spinning being configured to heat the drum by driving the induction heater when the drum rotates.

摘要： A washing machine appliance includes a cabinet with a basket rotatably mounted within the cabinet and a motor configured to rotate the basket. The washing machine appliance also includes a controller in operative communication with the motor to regulate a speed of the motor. The controller may be configured for, and methods of operating the washing machine appliance may include, activating the motor to rotate the basket at a rotational speed within a predetermined speed range and measuring the rotational speed of the basket with the controller. The controller may also be configured for, and the method may also include, monitoring an ambient temperature inside the cabinet of the washing machine appliance and applying an offset to the measured rotational speed when the monitored ambient temperature exceeds a threshold.
