Method of washing laundry

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of washing laundry by controlling the intensity of washing according to the temperature of washing water. In the method of washing laundry using a washing machine including a cabinet having a laundry inlet for putting the laundry in, an outer tub disposed in the cabinet for reserving a washing water, and an inner tub disposed in the outer tub for rotating the laundry, a temperature of a washing water supplied to the outer tub is sensed. Then, the intensity of washing laundry is controlled according to the sensed temperature of the washing water.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a method of washing laundry, and more particularly, to a method of washing laundry by controlling the intensity of washing according to the temperature of washing water. BACKGROUND ART [0002] Korean Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2005-0117004 describes one of typical drum-type washing machine including a cabinet, a tub disposed in the cabinet, and a drum disposed in the tub. [0003] Korean Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2005-0102916 describes a temperature sensing device for sensing the temperature of washing water supplied to an outer tub in a drum-type washing machine. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a temperature sensing device introduced in Korea Laid-open Patent Publication No. 2005-0102916. As shown in FIG. 4, the temperature sensing device includes a temperature sensor 42 for sensing the temperature of washing water, a connector 46 connected to the temperature sensor 42 through a lead line 44 and a power supply, and ...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0009] The present invention is achieved to solve the above problems. An object of the present invention is to provide a method of washing laundry for improving the washing efficiency by differently washing laundry, which has characteristics varied according to the seasons, based on the temperature of the washing water, which varies according to the seasons.

[0011] Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method of washing laundry differently according to the temperature of the washing water for improving the washing efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

However, the methods of washing laundry according to the related art cannot reflect the characteristics of laundry such as thickness, contamination degree, and washing frequency, which vary according to seasons although the methods of washing laundry according to the related art can control the washing intensity such as a water level and a washing duration according to the volume of laundry after the volume of laundry is sensed.

Accordingly, the washing efficiency thereof may deteriorate.
