An inner drum of a washing machine has a plurality of hollow lifting ribs arranged on the side wall of the drum that communicate with the interior of the drum. At least one drainage port communicating with the hollow portions of the lifting ribs is formed in the side wall of the drum. A sealing valve is located inside each lifting rib at each drainage port. During high-speed rotation of the drum, valve bodies of the sealing valves move along a radial center direction of the drum under a centrifugal force, to open the drainage ports. Through this arrangement, discharging water flow in the drum to the outside from the hidden drainage ports is achieved. Meanwhile, centrifugal force during the high-speed rotation of the drum is used to control valve cores of the sealing valves such that the drainage ports are automatically opened for drainage from the drum.

An amount of laundry that is introduced into a washing machine is calculated using gravity and inertia applied during the operation of a motor, whereby the amount of laundry is precisely measured and effects of the initial position of the laundry and the movement of the laundry are minimized. In addition, a measured current of the operated motor is used to determine the amount of laundry without a sensor. Furthermore, the rotational speed of the motor is controlled stepwise from a low speed to eliminate variation due to vibration. Moreover, the characteristics of gravity in the low-speed maintenance period are used to effectively calculate the amount of laundry, and the characteristics of inertia in the acceleration period are also used, whereby it is possible to precisely determine the amount of laundry. Consequently, it is easy to commence the spin-drying operation, thereby reducing washing time and saving energy. 1. A washing machine comprising:a motor to rotate a drum;a power supply to provide operating power to the motor to selectively operate the motor and to control a rotational speed of the motor;a current sensor to measure current of the motor during operation; anda controller to transmit a control command for controlling the motor to the power supply and to determine an amount of laundry contained in the drum based on the current measured by the current sensor, the power supply provides the operating power to the motor in response to the control command such that the rotational speed of the motor is repeatedly maintained, increased, and decreased, and the rotational speed of the motor varies stepwise within a range from a first speed to a fourth speed that is greater than the first speed, and', 'the controller calculates the amount of laundry in the drum based on analyzing respective currents measured by the current sensor during a maintenance period in which the rotational speed of the motor is maintained, an acceleration period in which the rotational ...

An amount of laundry that is introduced into a washing machine is determined by identifying gravitational and inertia forces applied during the operation of a motor, whereby it is possible to precisely calculate the amount of laundry and to minimize the effects of the initial position of the laundry and the movement of the laundry. In addition, the current value of the motor that is operated is used to measure the amount of laundry without a sensor. Furthermore, the amount of laundry is measured at the rotational speed of the motor at which the laundry clings to the drum, whereby it is possible to minimize error due to the movement of the laundry to thus improve accuracy. Moreover, it is possible to determine the amount of laundry within a short time. Consequently, it is easy to commence the spin-drying operation, thereby reducing washing time and saving energy. 1. A washing machine comprising:a motor to rotate a drum;a power supply that provides operating power to the motor to selectively operate the motor and to control a rotational speed of the motor;a current sensor to measure current of the motor during operation; anda controller to transmit a control command for controlling the motor to the power supply, and to determine an amount of laundry contained in the drum based on the current measured by the current sensor, the power supply provides the operating power to control the motor such that the rotational speed of the motor is repeatedly maintained, increased, and decreased within a particular range of speeds in response to the control command, and', 'the controller analyzes respective currents measured by the current sensor during periods when the rotational speed of the motor is within a range from a second speed, at which some of the laundry starts to cling to a wall of the drum, to a third speed, which is greater than the first speed and at which the laundry rotates along with the drum to cling to the wall of the drum., 'wherein2. The washing machine ...
