The time from the stop of energization to the stop of the rotating drum 4 is long when the amount of laundry is large, and short when the amount of laundry is small. The amount of laundry is detected using the fact that the difference in time required for this stop is proportional to the amount of laundry.
- the control unit 11a determines the cleaning water level according to the cloth amount detected by the cloth amount detection unit 11d, and opens the water supply valve 7b to supply water to the cleaning water level. Thereafter, the output from the vibration detection unit 16 is input, and the rotational speed of the motor 6 is varied while performing vector control so that the maximum acceleration is applied in a predetermined direction (vertical direction in the present embodiment). To decide. Thereafter, the output from the torque fluctuation calculation unit 11c is input while the determined number of revolutions is kept constant, and the fabric quality of the laundry is determined by the fabric quality detection unit 11b.
- the torque fluctuation calculation part 11c calculates the output of the motor 6 detected from the motor current detection part 17 which is a torque fluctuation detection part.
- the q-axis current obtained by vector control is proportional to the torque, so the torque of the motor 6 and the magnitude of torque variation are calculated using the q-axis current.
- the drum type washing machine in the first embodiment of the present invention automatically controls the motor 6, the water supply valve 7b, the drain valve 8b, and the drying unit 9 according to mode setting and a control program, and at least a washing process, a rinsing process, a dehydrating process, It has a function of performing a drying process.
- the laundry is first put in from the door 5 and the cloth amount is detected along with the rotation of the rotary drum 4 without being wet.
- the basic water supply amount is determined from the result of the cloth amount detection at this time.
- the water supply valve 7b is opened and water supply is started.
- the detergent in the detergent container 7 a is also put into the water tank 3 using the water supply at this time.
- the rotating drum 4 repeats the left and right rotations for about 3 minutes to sufficiently absorb the washing water (containing water).
- the motor 6 operates so that the magnitude of the vibration detected by the vibration detection unit 16 is maximized. That is, the control unit 11a changes the rotational speed of the rotating drum 4 in a range of 40 to 49 rpm so that the maximum acceleration is generated in the vertical direction (vertical direction) when viewed from the front side of the rotating drum 4. Specifically, the rotating drum 4 is rotated at 45 rpm for 20 seconds, and the vibration detector 16 detects an average vertical acceleration for 20 seconds. Next, while rotating the rotating drum 4 for the same time at 46 rpm, the vibration detector 16 similarly detects the acceleration in the vertical direction.
- the controller 11a searches for the number of rotations of the rotating drum 4 to which an average acceleration is applied in the vertical direction compared to the vertical acceleration during rotation at 45 rpm. Similarly, by changing the drum rotation speed from 47, 48, and 49 rpm to 44 to 40 rpm, the drum rotation speed to which the average acceleration is applied is obtained.
- FIG. 3A is a diagram showing the correlation between the magnitudes of torque fluctuations due to the difference in fabric quality when the rotating drum of the drum type washing machine in Embodiment 1 of the present invention is rotated in one direction at 45 rpm.
- FIG. 3B is a diagram showing the correlation of the magnitude of torque fluctuation due to the difference in cloth quality when the rotating drum of the drum type washing machine in Embodiment 1 of the present invention is rotated at the number of rotations according to the cloth quality.

- FIG. 3B a result as shown in FIG. 3B is obtained.
- the garment sticking to the inner side of the peripheral wall 4 c of the rotating drum 4 is reduced by reducing the rotational speed to 43 rpm. That is, it is in a state in which the laundry is struck down with maximum acceleration from the uppermost part to the lowermost part of the rotating drum 4.
- the minimum condition for rotating the rotary drum 4 is established, and then the cloth quality is determined based on the magnitude of torque fluctuation.
- the control unit 11a has a rotation speed at which the laundry can be reliably knocked down with the maximum acceleration.
- the rotating drum 4 is continuously rotated at 43 rpm or the like. At this time, it is finely detected whether the fluctuation (torque fluctuation) of the rotational speed in the short period cycle is large or small, for example, the magnitude of the torque fluctuation in units of 0.1 second is detected.
- the rotating rotating drum 4 sinks due to the fall of the laundry in the rotating drum 4, thereby causing rotation unevenness (torque fluctuation of the motor 6). For example, if you put about 4kg of cotton clothes, double 8kg of washing water. For this reason, the rotation drum 4 is calculated to have 12 kg of cloth containing washing water.
- the laundry in the rotating drum 4 depends on how the cloth is biased, a lump of cotton containing approximately 2 kg of water is lifted up to the top of the rotating drum 4 and dropped down toward the bottom of the rotating drum 4 Therefore, the rotating drum 4 easily sinks and uneven rotation occurs.
- the magnitude of the rotation unevenness is ⁇ 2 rpm for chemical fibers and ⁇ 5 rpm for cotton, and the numerical difference itself is small. This is because even if rotation unevenness occurs by using vector control having high-speed response as the control method of the motor 6, it is difficult to cause rotation unevenness by rapidly increasing and decreasing the motor current.
- the control device 11 Since the influence on the torque fluctuation is large as much as the difference in rotation unevenness is small, the control device 11 according to the first embodiment of the present invention can easily distinguish the difference in the fabric quality by referring to the torque fluctuation (the q-axis current of the motor current). .
- the torque fluctuation the q-axis current of the motor current.
- the variation in the rotation speed becomes larger, so that the cloth quality can be determined based on the magnitude of the rotation unevenness.
- the torque fluctuation is detected at the timing when the motor 6 starts operating, that is, for 5 seconds after the rotation of the rotary drum 4, the laundry in the drum is not stable, so that the torque fluctuation is not detected and the torque fluctuation is detected after 5 seconds. Start detecting. It is better to detect the fluctuation as long as possible until the rotating drum 4 is stopped.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the correlation of the torque variation according to the cloth quality with respect to the cloth amount of the drum type washing machine in the first embodiment of the present invention.
- the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the torque fluctuation of the rotary drum 4 is replaced with a numerical value that is easy to calculate (for example, a numerical value in units of a maximum of 400 bits) by the torque fluctuation calculation section 11c, and the cloth quality detection section 11b.
- the fabric quality is determined by comparing the first predetermined value A and the second predetermined value B, which are threshold values, with the ratio of fibers having high water absorption and fibers having low water absorption. .
- laundry capacity generally, it is said that the capacity of laundry that an adult changes and wash in one day is 1.5 kg.
- the range of the most practical washing capacity up to 3 families washing every day) can determine the fabric quality without depending on the amount of fabric.
- a capacity of 1 kg or less or a capacity exceeding 6 kg it is necessary to change the cloth quality judgment threshold value according to the cloth quantity obtained as a result of the cloth quantity judgment (the cloth quality detection threshold value based on the cloth quantity). Correction).
- the vibration detection unit 16 When the laundry is less than 1 kg, it is difficult to detect the difference in the cloth quality by the vibration detection unit 16 because it is relatively light even if it contains washing water. When the laundry exceeds 6 kg, the rotary drum 4 is almost filled with the laundry, and it is difficult to drop the rotary drum 4 from the upper part to the lower part. For this reason, it is difficult to detect a difference in fabric quality by the vibration detection unit 16. Therefore, the maximum torque fluctuation range, which is the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of torque fluctuation, becomes small. Therefore, the fabric quality can be determined according to the amount of fabric by lowering the threshold value for determining the level of water absorption.
