Drum drive control in an automatic washing machine

An automatic, program-controlled laundry washing machine comprises a rotatable laundry drum and a control adapting the rotary drive of the drum to selected programs. The control can vary the duration of drive of the drum in dependence on data concerning the quantity of laundry in the drum, so as to optimise the machine operation for different levels of load. The quantity data can be entered manually or be determined electronically. The variation of the duration of the rotary drive is determined by variable ratios of rotational drive pulse to rotational drive pause.

A washing machine

본 고안은 세탁기에 관한 것으로서 특히 실린더 형상의 세탁조내에 담긴 세탁물을 피스톤 왕복 운동과 피스톤 회전왕복 운동에 의해서 가압하여 두드려 빠는 효과를 확보함으로써 세탁 효율을 향상시킬 수 있도록 한 세탁기에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to a washing machine to improve the washing efficiency by securing the effect of tapping and sucking the laundry contained in the cylindrical washing tub by the piston reciprocating motion and the piston reciprocating motion. 종래의 세탁기는 드럼을 회전시켜 세탁을 수행하거나, 세탁조내의 세탁물을 펄쉐이터(세탁날개) 등을 이용해서 반복 회전시켜 세탁을 수행하고 있다. Conventional washing machines perform washing by rotating drums, or by repeatedly rotating laundry in a washing tank using a pearl shader (washing blade) or the like. 그러나, 이러한 세탁기는 세탁수류를 일으켜서 세탁물 사이의 마찰력과 세탁수와 세탁물 사이의 마찰력으로 세탁을 수행하기 때문에 손빨래를 하거나 방망이로 세탁물을 두드려 빠는 손세탁에 비하여 그 세탁 효율이 크게 떨어지고, 세탁물 사이의 마찰에 의해서 세탁물이 손상되거나 그 수명이 짧아지고 또 보푸라기도 많이 생기는 단점이 있다. However, such a washing machine produces washing water and performs washing with friction between the laundry and friction between the laundry and the laundry, so that the washing efficiency is greatly reduced compared to hand washing by hand washing or tapping the laundry with a bat. The friction damages the laundry or shortens its life and creates a lot of lint. 본 고안은 상기한 종래의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여, 실린더 형상의 세탁조속에 세탁물을 넣고 세탁수를 공급한 상태에서 피스톤이 상하왕복 작동하면서 동시에 회전운동을 병행하여 수류를 일으키면서 세탁물을 가압하여 오염물질을 제거하는 방식으로 세탁을 수행하도록 함으로써, 종래의 드럼 세탁기나 펄쉐이터 방식 세탁기에 비하여 높은 세탁효율을 가지고, 또 세탁물 손상이나 보푸라기의 발생도 억제할 수 있게 하였다. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention puts laundry into a cylinder-shaped washing tank and pressurizes the laundry while causing the water flow by simultaneously rotating the piston in a state in which the piston moves up and down while supplying the washing water. By performing the washing in such a manner as to remove the washing machine, it has a higher washing efficiency than the conventional drum washing machine or the pearl shater washing machine, and also it is possible to suppress the occurrence of laundry ...

Apparatus for breaking of Washing Machine

본 발명은 세탁기의 제동시 모터에 의해 발생하는 역기전력으로 인해 시스템에 과전압이 흐르는 경우 이를 방출시키기 위한 제동 제어 회로에 관한 것으로서, The present invention relates to a braking control circuit for releasing an overvoltage flow in a system due to back EMF generated by a motor during braking of a washing machine. 종래에 시스템에 흐르는 과전압을 방출시키기 위해서 제동 저항을 구성했던 것과는 달리 상용(AC)전원을 인가받아 직류(DC)전원으로 변환하는 컨버터를 구성함에 있어 기존에 정류용 다이오드만 사용했던 것을 복수개의 다이오드에 각각 병렬로 트랜지스터들을 연결 구성하고, 트랜지스터들의 베이스를 마이콤에 의해 생성되는 신호들로 제어하여, 제동시 시스템에 흐르는 전압이 일정 전압 이상이 되면 복수개의 트랜지스터를 선택적으로 온/오프하도록 하여 시스템에 흐르는 과전압을 상용 전원쪽으로 흘려 보냄으로서 시스템에 일정 전압이상이 흐르지 않도록 하는 내용이다. Unlike conventional braking resistors for discharging the overvoltage flowing in the system, conventionally, only a rectifier diode is used to construct a converter that receives a commercial (AC) power and converts it into a direct current (DC) power. The transistors are connected in parallel to each other, and the bases of the transistors are controlled by signals generated by the microcomputer to selectively turn on / off a plurality of transistors when the voltage flowing in the system exceeds a predetermined voltage during braking. It is to prevent over voltage over the system by sending the over voltage flowing to the commercial power. 이러한 구성을 통해 종래 기술의 제동 저항을 제거할 수 있어 회로 구성이 간단해 지며, 세탁기가 대용량화 되어감에 따라 제동 저항의 용량도 커지기 때문에 제품의 원가를 낮추는데에도 크게 기여하는 효과를 제공하게 된다. This configuration can eliminate the braking resistor of the prior art, simplifying the circuit configuration, and as the washing machine becomes larger, the braking resistor has a larger capacity, thereby providing a significant contribution to lowering the cost of the product.
