布の状態を判定している。In FIG. 1, reference numeral 7 is a control means composed of various electronic circuits including a microcomputer, which includes instructions from operation keys (not shown), a lid switch 8, a water level detection means 9 and the like. Bidirectional thyristors 10a and 10b for driving the motor 6 by capturing the signal of
The energization is controlled for the bidirectional thyristors 10c and 10d that drive the drainage magnet 11 and the water supply valve 12, respectively. The forward and reverse rotations of the motor 6 are performed by the bidirectional thyristors 10a and 10b, the bidirectional thyristor 10a is turned on, and the bidirectional thyristor 10 is turned on.
When b is turned off, the motor 6 rotates in the normal direction, and the bidirectional thyristor 10b is turned on to turn the bidirectional thyristor 1 on.
When 0a is turned off, the motor 6 rotates in the reverse direction. The capacitor terminal voltage detection means 13 detects the terminal voltage of the capacitor 14 and inputs this signal to the control means 7 to detect the load amount of the cloth in the washing / dehydrating tub 3. Further, the control means 7 determines the state of the cloth in the washing / dehydrating tub 3 based on the decay rate of the counter electromotive voltage of the motor 6 during the rest period after the motor 6 is energized for a required time by the output of the condenser 14. Reference numeral 15 denotes an intermittent dehydration time limit selection means, which selects one of a plurality of intermittent dehydration time intervals stored in the control means 7 and having different intermittent time intervals. Further, the terminal voltage of the capacitor 14 has a correlation with the rotation speed of the motor 6, the bidirectional thyristor 10a is turned on, and the terminal voltage of the capacitor 14 is attenuated according to the rotation speed of the motor 6 during the rest period thereafter. During the rest period after the rotation of the motor 6, both terminals of the bidirectional thyristors 10a and 10b are in the OFF state, so that the terminal voltage of the capacitor 14 becomes zero. Therefore, the motor 6 continues to rotate due to inertia and induces a counter electromotive voltage in the main coil and the auxiliary coil, and the counter electromotive voltage decreases with a decrease in the rotation speed and has a waveform as shown in FIG. 2A shows a case where the load amount is small and the amount of decrease in the rotation speed of the motor 6 is small, and FIG. 2B shows a case where the load amount is large and the rotation speed of the motor 6 rapidly decreases. . When the load is large, the rotation speed of the motor 6 decreases rapidly and the terminal voltage of the condenser 14 also decreases. Can be detected. That is, the state of the cloth is determined by measuring the decay time of the terminal voltage of the capacitor 14 (T1a, T1b in FIG. 2), the rate of change of the terminal voltage of the capacitor 14, the number of voltage waveforms, and the like.

状態を判別できる。As shown in FIG. 4, when the cloth is entangled immediately after draining, an unbalanced load is applied to the washing / dehydrating tub 3, so that the cloth is uniformly loosened (FIG. 3).
However, the load becomes large. As described above, it is possible to make a determination immediately after draining because the load amount is large or small depending on the condition of the cloth, and the judgment reference value is set by the number of terminal voltage waveforms of the capacitor 14, and the condition of the cloth is determined by the judgment reference value and the number of waveforms. Can be determined.

First, in step 1, after setting the water level in the initial setting, water supply is started in step 2, and when the water level detecting means 9 determines that the water level is the set water level, the process proceeds to step 3 to stop the water supply and start washing. In step 4, washing is finished and draining is started, and in step 5, draining is finished. Immediately after that, in step 6, the washing / dehydrating tub 3 starts to rotate and the short-time ON-

The number of terminal voltage waveforms of the capacitor 14 immediately after F is measured, the state of the cloth is discriminated in step 8, and if the discrimination reference value or more, it is determined that the cloth is in a uniform state, and if it is the discrimination reference value or less, a entangled mass is formed. Determine that After this determination, step 9

The intermittent dehydration is set to a long OFF time, and the process proceeds to step 10 to perform intermittent dehydration.

It can stand up smoothly without hitting, prevent movement of the machine, reduce vibration and noise, and also prevent entanglement of the cloth after the completion of dehydration.
