Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily execute the rotating speed control of a dewatering tank in a low cost by providing a comparison arithmetic control part to execute or stop a feed to a capacitor motor based on a difference between the output of an A/D converter and the value of a storing part in the middle of a dewatering operation. CONSTITUTION:In a method for the rotating speed control executed by a comparison arithmetic control part 19, first, a transistor 21 is made conductive, a TRIAC 9 is ignited, an energizing to a capacitor motor 5 is executed, and the dewatering operation is started. At a time just after an activation, a Vc is converted to binary data by an A/D converting part 18, the value is transferred to a storing part 20, and it is stored as a Vc1. Next, in the middle of the operation, the value of the Vc is always A/D-converted, it is made into a Vc2, and whether Vc2-Vc1, namely, a voltage difference corresponding to a dVc is made larger than a set value or not is decided. When the voltage difference is made larger than the set value, the transistor 21 is made non-conductive, and the energizing to the capacitor motor 5 is stopped for a prescribed time. When the stop time is completed, the energizing to the capacitor motor is resumed again. By executing such a control, the rotating speed of a dewatering tank 2 is controlled at approximately 700rpm.
