WASHING MACHINE AND CONTROLLING METHOD FOR SAME: abstract simplified (18189953)

• This abstract for appeared for patent application number 18189953 Titled 'WASHING MACHINE AND CONTROLLING METHOD FOR SAME'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a washing machine that has a body with a laundry input port, a water tank for storing water, a drum that rotates inside the water tank, and a pulsator that rotates in the opposite direction of the drum. The machine also has a first motor that drives the pulsator, a second motor that drives the drum, and a first inverter that controls the current to the first motor. Additionally, there is a second inverter that controls the current to the second motor and has a temperature sensing function. A control unit is present to control the first inverter, reducing the rotational speed or rotation time of the first motor if the temperature of the second inverter reaches a predetermined temperature.

Original Abstract Submitted

A washing machine according to one aspect of the disclosure comprises: a body having a laundry input port; a water tank provided inside the body and for storing water; a drum rotatably provided inside the water tank; a pulsator provided inside the drum and rotating in the direction opposite from the rotational direction of the drum; a first motor providing a driving force to the pulsator; a second motor providing a driving force to the drum; a first inverter controlling a current applied to the first motor; a second inverter controlling a current applied to the second motor and having a temperature sensing function; and a control unit controlling the first inverter such that the rotational speed of the first motor and/or the rotation time per period of the first motor is reduced if the temperature of the second inverter reaches a predetermined first temperature.
