  • the aim of the present invention is to design a washing machine wherein washing is performed effectively by detecting the type of the laundry to be washed and a control method thereof.
  • Figure 1 - is the side schematic view of a washing machine.
  • Figure 2 - is the front schematic view of a washing machine.
  • Figure 3 - is the flow chart of the control method of a washing machine.
  • the washing machine (1) of the present invention comprises a tub (2), a drum (3) situated inside the tub (2), rotating within the tub (2), into which the laundry is placed, a motor (9) that actuates the drum (3), a control card (6) providing the control, a valve (7) providing intake of water into the tub (2), a pressure sensor (4) which measures the pressure of the mixture inside the tub (2) during wetting of the laundry placed inside the drum (3) and a flow sensor (5) enabling the water amount determined by the pressure sensor (4) to be taken into the tub (2).
  • the control card (6) comprises a memory (8) in which the experimental data is stored for comparison purposes.
  • the water absorbing and releasing characteristics of the laundry varies with the type and amount of the laundry.
  • the amount of water to be absorbed by certain type and amount of laundry is known. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the pressure values corresponding to the water intake for each of the wool, cotton, synthetic laundry are determined experimentally in advance. These values are compared with the pressure values measured during the method of the present invention and the type of the laundry is detected according to the compared value. According to these detections, for a certain amount of laundry, the smallest amount of water is consumed for washing synthetic fabrics, and the biggest amount of water is consumed for washing woolens.
  • the woolen laundry absorbs more water than the cotton laundry, and the cotton laundry absorbs more water than the synthetic laundry.
  • the amount of laundry (Xi) is determined by using one of the known load sensing algorithms.
  • the amount of water that can be absorbed by certain amount of laundry (Xi) and the required water amount (Lji) to be taken in corresponding to the amount of laundry (Xi) is determined by experimental data in the amounts table (Table 1) and is stored into the memory (8).
  • These water amounts (Lji) are taken into the washing machine (1) by way of the flow sensor (5) in an accurate manner. Since the type of the laundry is not known, the soaking procedures for wool (Y), cotton (P) and synthetic (S) laundry are employed one after another, to make the laundry to absorb an optimum amount of water taken in.

  • this first step of water intake the procedure is started by taking in the wool (Y) water amount (Lyi) corresponding to the measured amount of laundry.
  • the laundry is soaked by making motor (9) movements to enable optimum amount of soaking since the type of laundry is not known.
  • the pressure signal (F pressure) read in the waiting step is analized.
  • the obtained pressure value (F pressure) is checked whether it is between BNYi and BXYi determined for the measured wool laundry amount (Xi) by the help of the decision table. If it is between these values, the laundry type is decided to be wool (Y).
