WASHING APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18351884 titled 'WASHING APPARATUS AND CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a washing apparatus that includes a main body with a door, a spin basket inside the main body that rotates about a rotary shaft, and a motor that powers the rotary shaft.

  • The washing apparatus also includes a spring clutch with two cores - one rotating with the motor and the other rotating with the rotation shaft. The spring clutch selectively transmits power from the motor to the spin basket.
  • The apparatus has a processor and a sensor that measures the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the spring clutch.
  • When the motor completes its driving based on an input signal, the processor controls the motor to stop.
  • After the motor stops, the processor then controls the motor to be re-driven for a preset driving time based on the measurement value of the sensor.


Original Abstract Submitted

A washing apparatus is provided. The washing apparatus includes a main body having a door, a spin basket disposed inside the main body and rotating about a rotary shaft, a motor providing power to the rotary shaft, a spring clutch including a first core rotating in conjunction with the motor and a second core rotating in conjunction with the rotation shaft, and selectively transmitting power of the motor to the spin basket, a processor, and a sensor that measures revolutions per minute (RPM) of the spring clutch, and when the driving of the motor based on an input signal is completed, the processor controls to stop the driving of the motor, and after stopping the driving of the motor, controls the motor to be re-driven for a preset driving time based on a measurement value of the sensor.
