Embodiment Construction

[0020] The washing machine (1) of the present invention comprises: a drum (2), the clothes to be washed are placed in the drum (2); an outer drum (3), and the drum (2) is arranged in the outer drum (3); a valve (4), the The valve (4) supplies water to be received by opening / closing the water pipe; the pressure sensor (5) detects the pressure exerted by the water received in the tub (3); and the control unit (6 ), the control unit (6) determines the type and amount of load by evaluating the data received from the pressure sensor (5) ( figure 1 ).

[0021] At the beginning of the washing program, by opening the valve (4), the control unit (6) allows water to be received in the tub (3) until the water level in it reaches a level that wets the clothes without completely soaking them, in the drum (2 ) after rotation so that the pressure is measured by the pressure sensor (5), the clothes Type, by opening / closing the valve (4) according to different closing pressure levels (Pvu1, ...

Abstract

In the In a washing machine (1) the type of the laundry placed in the drum (2) and the amount of laundry are estimated by detecting the laundry type information by the valve (4) opening pressure level (Pva1) and the valve (4) closing pressure level (Pvu1) in the water receiving step.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine that detects the type and amount of laundry therein. Background technique [0002] In a washing machine, one of the most important variables affecting wash performance is the type and weight of laundry (load) placed in the drum by the user. If these two load-related variables can be detected, then the amount of water and detergent to be used and the wash time can be determined. Thus, the washing machine can be operated by using the least possible amount of energy, water and detergent. [0003] In some existing embodiments, various sensors are used in order to measure the load placed in the drum by the user. However, embodiments using additional sensors increase the cost of the washing machine and also have various difficulties. [0004] In prior art German Patent Application No. DE10104682 an electrically insulating surface, acting as a capacitor between the drum and the body, is used as a load sens...
