Problems solved by technology

Generally, the opening or closing of the machine cover is realized by the user's manual operation. Due to the gravity of the machine cover itself and the impact and collision with the control seat when the machine cover is opened/closed manually, after a long time, it is easy to cause the machine Worn or detached cover fails
In addition, as the capacity of the washing ma

Example Embodiment

[0040] Example one:

[0041] Basic structure reference of pulsator washing machine figure 1 ,No longer.

[0042] The rear side of the machine cover 4 is connected to the part of the control seat 2 behind the clothes inserting opening 20 through a rotating shaft 22. The part of the control seat 2 behind the clothes inserting opening 20 is provided with a positioning groove 202 for positioning the motor 3, such as figure 2 Shown. The positioning slot 202 is located in the middle of the rear side of the clothes inserting port 20. The motor 3 has dual output shafts and has bidirectional output capability. There are rotating shafts 22 on both sides of the motor 3, so that the output torque of the motor 3 can be relatively stable, and the weight is relatively high. The large glass cover 4 can ensure smooth opening / closing. The cross section of the positioning slot 202 matches the cross section of the housing of the motor 3. In this embodiment, the housing of the motor 3 is deliberately...

Example Embodiment

[0051] Embodiment two:

[0052] Such as Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for controlling a washing machine with the cover automatically opened / closed. The structure of the washing machine has been disclosed in the first embodiment. You can refer to the first embodiment. The specific steps of the control method are as follows:

[0053] a) The user turns on, and the program is initialized, and then proceed to step b);

[0054] b) The control unit controls the cover lock to unlock, the motor executes the command to open the cover, and the obstacle detection module detects whether there is a cover opening obstacle, if yes, proceed to step c), if not, proceed to step d);

[0055] c) The motor pauses to execute the command to open the cover, and the control unit sends an alarm signal to the alarm device to alert the user to prompt the user to remove the obstacle. After a certain period of time, the control unit detects whether there is a cover opening obstacle, and if ye...

Example Embodiment

[0063] Embodiment three:

[0064] Such as Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for controlling a washing machine with a cover that automatically opens / closes. The structure of the washing machine has been disclosed in the first embodiment. You can refer to the first embodiment. The steps of the control method are based on the second embodiment. , Some changes are made to step i), and subsequent steps are added. After the washing program is over, the command to open the machine cover is directly executed, and finally the user is reminded that the washing is complete, so steps a) to h) are omitted, and steps a) to h) are omitted. ,details as follows:

[0065] i) The washing machine starts to execute the washing program. In the washing program, the control unit detects whether the command to open the machine cover is received. If yes, the washing program is suspended and proceed to step b). If not, the washing program continues to be executed until the washing progra...

Abstract

The invention discloses a washing machine with an automatic opening/closing machine cover, belongs to a household electrical appliance, and solves the problem existing in the prior art that the machine cover cannot be automatically opened and closed. The washing machine mainly comprises a casing and a control seat arranged on the top of the casing, a control unit is arranged in the control seat, the control seat is provided with an operation panel, the control seat is provided with a clothes putting opening, the control seat is connected with a machine cover through a rotating shaft, the control seat is provided with a motor which drives the rotating shaft to rotate around the axial direction of the rotating shaft, the motor is electrically connected with the control unit, the rotating shaft is provided with an angle transducer which monitors the rotation angle of the rotating shaft, the angle transducer is electrically connected with the control unit, and the control unit controls the output torque of the motor in dependence on angle signals fed back by the angle transducer. Furthermore, the invention also provides a control method of the above washing machine. The washing machine with the automatic opening/closing machine cover is mainly used for washing clothes.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to household appliances, in particular to a washing machine with automatic opening / closing of a machine cover and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] The machine cover of the pulsator washing machine is generally rotatably connected on the control seat, and the control seat has a clothes insertion port. Generally, when the washing machine is not in use, the machine cover covers the clothes inlet and is in a closed state to prevent hair, flying insects, and sundries from falling into the bucket. Also, during the execution of the washing program, the machine cover is also in a closed state. When the user puts clothes into the tub, the machine cover needs to be opened first, and when the user needs to take out the clothes after the washing program is finished, the machine cover also needs to be opened. Generally, the opening or closing of the machine cover is realized by the user's manual operation. Due to the gr...
