Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a device and a method for detecting an unbalance of a washing machine which reduce the number of components, simplify the structure and moreover enable stop of the rotation of a washing and dewatering tub corresponding to the amount of the unbalance, only when it is needed.SOLUTION: The washing and dewatering tub provided with a rotating blade at the bottom is disposed rotatably in a water tank 3 suspended and supported swingably in an outer box 1. In the washing machine having this constitution, the device for detecting the unbalance is disposed between the outer box 1 and the water tank 3 and fitted to a unit case 16 of a power supply unit disposed in the outer box 1.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an unbalance detection device and a detection method of a washing machine. Background technique [0002] For example, a single-cylinder fully automatic washing machine such as Figure 7 As shown, in the outer box 1 that is arranged on the bottom frame 8, a water tank 3 can be suspended freely through the anti-vibration device 2. In the water tank 3, a washing and washing machine with a rotating blade 4 at the bottom can be freely rotated. The dehydration tank 5 is equipped with the mechanism part 7 of the reduction mechanism of the motor 6 and clutches, gears, etc. as the drive mechanism at the bottom of the water tank 3. In addition, a top cover 9 is installed on the top of the outer case 1 and above the water tank 3. The top cover 9 is provided with a cover 10 which can be opened and closed freely. 11 shows the water supply tank communicated with the water supply port arranged on the top cover 9 among the figures.
