Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include laundry facilities, hotels, hospitals, and other establishments that rely on washing machines for daily operations. This technology can help reduce maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of laundry processes.
Questions about Washing Machine Technology: 1. How does the processor identify the type of liquid in the detergent supply part? 2. What are the potential cost savings for commercial users implementing this technology?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in washing machine technology, particularly in the area of automated cleaning systems for detergent supply parts.
Original Abstract Submitted
a washing machine may include a tub; a detergent supply part to accommodate a liquid; a fluid channel connecting the detergent supply part and the tub; a motor controllable to supply the liquid accommodated in the detergent supply part into the tub through the fluid channel; a water supply part controllable to supply water into the tub; and a processor configured to: based on receiving a command for cleaning the fluid channel, identify a type of the liquid accommodated in the detergent supply part, based on the identified type of the liquid being water, control the water supply part to supply water into the tub, detect a level of water in the tub, and based on the detected level being greater than or equal to a predetermined value, control the motor so that the liquid accommodated in the detergent supply part is supplied into the tub through the fluid channel.
