By the way, in conventional washing machines like this, when the washing operation is temporarily stopped and restarted, the sensitivity of the turbidity detector is not readjusted, so the washing machine stops temporarily and restarts the washing process. When the machine is loaded and restarted, it is not possible to accurately detect the end of washing, and there is a risk that the washing operation may end before the laundry is sufficiently cleansed.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a control system of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, 1
2 is an outer tank, 2 is a cleaning liquid, 3 is an inner tank, 4 is a pulsator, 5 is a communication tube, 6 is a turbidity detector that optically detects the turbidity of the cleaning liquid by a combination of a light emitting element and a light receiving element, and 7 is a turbidity detector. A conductive pipe for draining the cleaning liquid in the tank via the drain valve 11, 8 a motor, 9 a motor control section, 10 a memory function for storing detected values from the turbidity detector 6, and a temporal control of the detected values. It has a calculation function to calculate the change, a function to judge the end of the operation by determining that the temporal change in the detected value has become below a certain predetermined value, a sensitivity adjustment function to adjust the sensitivity of the turbidity detector 6, etc. A turbidity determination section, 11 a drain valve, 12 a drain valve control section, 13 a sequence control section, and 14 a temporary stop means.

In the above configuration, as the pulsator 4 rotates, the cleaning liquid circulates in the order of the arrow: inner tank 3 → outer tank 1 → communication pipe 5 → conduction pipe 7 → outer tank 1 → inner tank 3, and the turbidity detector 6 Its turbidity is detected as it passes through the water.

Next, the control will be explained with reference to the operational diagram of FIG. 2. Now, when laundry is put into the inner tub 3 and the motor 8 is driven to start the washing operation, the sensitivity of the turbidity detector 6 is automatically adjusted in the initial stage according to the turbidity of the cleaning liquid at that time. Then, as the washing operation progresses and when the turbidity of the cleaning liquid decreases over time to a certain predetermined value or less, it is determined that the washing has ended and the washing operation is stopped.

During such a washing operation, when a stop signal is input from the temporary stop means 14, the washing operation is interrupted. Then, when new dirty laundry is put in and the operation is restarted, the sensitivity of the turbidity detector 6 is automatically adjusted again according to the turbidity of the cleaning liquid at that time. Therefore, subsequent changes in the turbidity of the washing liquid can be accurately detected, and the end of washing can be accurately determined.

尚、すすぎ動作時においては、一時停止されて
も汚れた洗濯物が新たに投入されることが殆どな
い為、濁度検出器6の感度再調整は行なわない。
Note that during the rinsing operation, the sensitivity of the turbidity detector 6 is not readjusted because new dirty laundry is hardly ever put in even if the rinsing operation is temporarily stopped.
