WASHING MACHINE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18347103 Titled 'WASHING MACHINE AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a washing machine that has a tub and a drum inside it. The drum can rotate and is powered by a motor. The machine also has a vibration sensor that can detect the vibrations of the tub. There is a control unit that uses the vibration sensor to maintain the rotation speed of the drum motor. It does this by adjusting the speed when the vibration sensor reaches a certain value during the dehydration process. The control unit also continuously maintains or increases the rotation speed of the drum motor based on the changes in the vibration sensor's readings.


Original Abstract Submitted

A washing machine is provided. The washing machine includes a tub, a drum rotatably arranged within the tub, a drum motor for rotating the drum, a vibration sensor for sensing the vibration of the tub, and a control unit which maintains the rotation speed of the drum motor on the basis that the sensing value of the vibration sensor reaches a certain predetermined value during a dehydration operation, and which continuously maintains or increases the rotation speed of the drum motor based on the variation value of the sensing value of the vibration sensor.
