- 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.
- the water amounts absorbed (Lji) by different amounts (Xi) of laundry is measured by the pressure sensor (4) and the type of the laundry is determined.

- Table 2 formed by the pressure (Fpressure) intervals (BNji - BXjj) determined and stored in advance for each of the wool (Y), cotton (P), synthetic (S) laundry.
- Table 2 It is the decision table comprising pre-determined pressure values for detecting the type of laundry according to the amount of the laundry to be washed.
- control card (6) provides the water amount (LYi) stored in advance in the memory (8) for the type of laundry which absorbs the maximum amount of water, for example wool, to be taken into the tub (2), and compares the measured pressure values with the pre-stored pressure intervals (BXji - BNji) in the memory (8) enabling the starting of the method of the present invention.
- LYi water amount stored in advance in the memory (8) for the type of laundry which absorbs the maximum amount of water, for example wool, to be taken into the tub (2), and compares the measured pressure values with the pre-stored pressure intervals (BXji - BNji) in the memory (8) enabling the starting of the method of the present invention.
- the water amount (Lji) that should be taken in according to the amount of laundry (Xi) detected is taken in under the control of the flow sensor (5).
- 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).
- the measured pressure value (F pressure) if required for enabling optimum washing, water is taken in until reaching the water amount (LYi) determined in the table of amounts (Table 1) for the amount of laundry (Xi) measured and the main washing is started.
- the laundry is soaked by making the optimum motor (9) movements required for cotton laundry.
- the pressure sensor (4) values are read and analized during the waiting step.
- the obtained pressure value (F pressure) is checked to see if it is between BNPi and BXPi determined for the measured cotton laundry amount (Xi) by the help of the decision table ( Figure 5). If it is between these values, the laundry type is decided to be cotton (P).
- the measured pressure value (F pressure) if required for enabling optimum washing, water is taken in until reaching the water amount (LPi) determined in the table of amounts (Table 1) for the amount of laundry (Xi) measured and the main washing is started.
- the laundry is soaked by making the optimum motor (9) movements required for synthetic laundry.
- pressure value (F pressure) is checked to see if it is between BNSi and BXSi by the help of the decision table ( Figure 5). If it is between these values, the laundry type is decided to be synthetic (S).
- the measured pressure value (F pressure) if required for enabling optimum washing, water is taken in until reaching the water amount (LSi) determined in the table of amounts (Table 1) for the amount of laundry (Xi) measured and the main washing is started.
- the data of the flow sensor (5) and the pressure sensor (4) are utilized for detecting the laundry type.
- water intake into the washing machine is achieved in two basic steps.
- the first step the first water in the amount determined for wool in the water intake table is taken in according to the amount of measured laundry.
- the aim is to detect the type of the laundry.
- the water amount to be taken in is controlled in an accurate way by the flow sensor (5).
- the laundry is soaked by optimum motor (9) movements and the water amount absorbed and released out is analized by the pressure sensor (4). This information is obtained by measuring the pressure sensor (4) data.
- the extra water required for optimum washing suitable for the type and amount of laundry is taken in and water intake step is completed and main washing is started.
- the control card (6) evaluates these factors enabling the reaching of two main aims. These two aims are the accuracy of detecting the type of the laundry and the detection duration.
