Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a washing method for washing machines in which a washing program is adjusted automatically by detecting the features of a laundry to be washed.
  • a washing method suitable for use in washing machines which comprise at least one tub; at least one drum which is positioned inside said tub and performs washing operation by rotating around an axis; at least one motor to enable movement of the drum; at least one valve which enables to receive water into the machine for washing and rinsing operations; at least one water flow sensor to detect amount of water received into the machine; at least one water level sensor to detect pressure of the water in the drum and to convert the measured pressure value into a frequency value; at least one turbidity sensor to measure turbidity of the water in the drum; at least one colour sensor to detect colour of the laundry which is placed inside the drum; at least one temperature sensor to detect temperature of the water in the drum; at least one processing unit to which measures obtained from said water flow sensor, water level sensor, turbidity sensor, colour sensor and temperature sensor are transmitted and assessed therein, and in which said valve, motor and the drum are controlled according to said assessment, characterised by comprising the steps of:
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine in which a washing program is adjusted automatically by detecting the features of a laundry.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine in which a washing program is determined according to the features of a laundry to be washed without requiring any data input by the user.
  • Figure 1 is an exemplary graphical view indicating the frequency value obtained from the water level sensor, and water intake operation and the total water amount detection which are performed according to this value for the washing method according to the invention.
  • a washing operation is performed depending on the washing parameters determined by the user or the selected washing program.
  • the user does not select the parameters so as to be suitable for the laundry type to be washed or the dirt level, an efficient washing operation cannot be performed or some problems may arise such as discoloration or texture deterioration.
  • a suitable washing program is determined by detecting the features of the laundry to be washed, without requiring any parameter to be input by the user.
  • the washing method according to the present invention is suitable for use in washing machines which comprise at least one tub; at least one drum which is positioned inside said tub and performs washing operation by rotating around an axis; at least one motor to enable movement of the drum; at least one valve which enables to receive water into the machine for washing and rinsing operations; at least one water flow sensor to detect amount of water received into the machine; at least one water level sensor (an electronic pressure sensor) to detect pressure of the water in the drum and to convert the measured pressure value into a frequency value; at least one turbidity sensor to measure turbidity of the water in the drum; at least one colour sensor to detect colour of the laundry which is which is placed inside the drum; at least one temperature sensor to detect temperature of the water in the drum; at least one processing unit to which measures obtained from said water flow sensor, water level sensor, turbidity sensor, colour sensor and temperature sensor are transmitted and assessed therein, and in which said valve, motor and the drum are controlled according to said assessment.
  • Said washing method comprises the steps of:
  • pressure of the water in the drum is measured by said water level sensor to convert it into a frequency value, and with respect to said frequency value, water intake operation is performed by the control unit for said second time (t2).
  • t2 the second time
  • the washing operation comprises the steps of running the motor at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 10 seconds, running it at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in clockwise direction, and stopping it for 10 seconds, respectively and in a repeated manner for 30 minutes.
  • said spinning speed is preferably 800 rpm.
  • the washing operation comprises the steps of running the motor at 53 rpm for 15 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 9 seconds, running it at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in clockwise direction, stopping it for 6 seconds, respectively and in a repeated manner for 20 minutes, and of running the motor at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 6 seconds, running it at 53 rpm for 15 seconds in clockwise direction and stopping it for 9 seconds, respectively and in a repeated manner for the next 20 minutes.
  • said spinning speed is preferably 800 rpm.
  • the washing operation comprises the steps of running the motor at 53 rpm for 15 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 9 seconds, running it at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in clockwise direction, stopping it for 6 seconds, respectively and in a repeated manner for 20 minutes, and of running the motor at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 6 seconds, running it at 53 rpm for 15 seconds in clockwise direction and stopping it for 9 seconds, for the next 20 minutes.
  • said spinning speed is preferably 1200 rpm.
  • the washing operation comprises the steps of running the motor at 53 rpm for 15 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 9 seconds, running it at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in clockwise direction, stopping it for 6 seconds, respectively and in a repeated manner for 30 minutes, and of running the motor at 53 rpm for 10 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 6 seconds, running it at 53 rpm for 15 seconds in clockwise direction and stopping it for 9 seconds, for the next 30 minutes.
  • said spinning speed is preferably 1200 rpm.
  • the dirt level obtained as a result of said measurement which is performed by said turbidity sensor is compared to a threshold value, and if the measurement value is greater than said threshold value, said additional washing operation is determined to be performed.
  • the additional washing operation comprises the steps of running the motor at a speed of 53 rpm for 10 seconds in anticlockwise direction, stopping it for 10 seconds, running it at a speed of 53 rpm for 10 seconds in clockwise direction and stopping it for 10 seconds, respectively.
  • said method comprises the steps of determining, by said colour sensor, the colours of the laundry which is received into the machine, and changing the washing temperature according to determined colour of the laundry.
  • the washing method of the invention it is provided to monitor the water pressure in the drum for a certain time by measurements obtained by a water level sensor, to perform water intake operation depending on a change of the frequency value obtained by said water level sensor, and to detect the laundry type with reference to the total water amount received at the end of said time.
  • required operations are conducted by determining the optimal washing, rinsing and spinning cycles for the laundry received into the machine, without requiring any data input by the user regarding the type, amount and colour of the laundry etc.
