LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240183101 titled 'LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS
The patent application describes a control method for a laundry treatment apparatus, including a steam generator, water supply pump, and water supply tank.
- The method involves operating the water supply pump for a preset time period, sensing the water level inside the steam generator, and setting the water supply mode accordingly.
- The control method ensures efficient water supply to the steam generator for optimal steam generation during laundry treatment.
- By monitoring the water level inside the steam generator, the method adjusts the water supply mode to maintain consistent steam generation.
- This innovation improves the performance and reliability of the laundry treatment apparatus by optimizing water supply based on the water level in the steam generator.
- The method enhances the overall efficiency of the laundry treatment process by ensuring a steady supply of steam for effective cleaning and treatment of laundry items.
Potential Applications: - Industrial laundry facilities - Commercial laundry services - Household washing machines
Problems Solved: - Inconsistent steam generation - Water supply inefficiency - Lack of control over water supply modes
Benefits: - Improved steam generation - Enhanced laundry treatment efficiency - Reduced water wastage
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Control Method for Laundry Treatment Apparatus" This technology can be utilized in industrial and commercial laundry facilities to improve efficiency and optimize water usage, leading to cost savings and better laundry treatment outcomes.

Original Abstract Submitted
in regard to a laundry treatment apparatus comprising: a laundry accommodating unit which provides a space for accommodating laundry; a steam generator which generates steam; a steam flow path which supplies steam discharged from the steam generator, to the laundry accommodating unit; a water supply pump; a water supply tank which stores water and is detachably coupled to the water supply pump; a connection pipe which connects the steam generator to the water supply pump; a water level sensor which senses a water level inside the steam generator; a water supply pipe which connects the steam generator to a water supply source; and a water supply valve for opening and closing the water supply pipe, the present application relates to a control method for the laundry treatment apparatus, the control method comprising: a pump control step of operating the water supply pump for a preset first reference time period; a first water level sensing step in which the water level sensor detects the water level inside the steam generator during the pump control step; and a water supply mode setting step of setting the water supply through the water supply tank to a default water supply mode when the water level inside the steam generator is changed during the pump control step.
