Benefits of technology

The present disclosure provides a drainage-dehydration control method for a multi-drum washing machine that allows for independent and stable execution of the drainage and dehydration procedures. Additionally, when the first washing drum completes the drainage procedure, it directly proceeds with the dehydration procedure, reducing the contact time between clothing and washing water. Furthermore, the method avoids clothing sinking and staining while ensuring efficient use of the washing machine. Other technical effects include avoiding high power procedures between washing drums and optimizing the electricity environment for double-drum washing machines. The heating control method is simple and reliable, suitable for promotion and use.

Problems solved by technology

If using the existing washing machine to do multiple laundries, the washing time is hard to meet the users' requirements.
If buying two or more washing machines to wash separately at the same time, it will not only bring a great waste of energy and water resources but also occupy a large space, which is not suitable for home use.
But it brings along the control problem of the whole washing machine using power, overload occurs particularly when heating, drying and dehydrating in high speed are executed at the same time at the same time.
It seriously affecting the use of machine stability and life.
If the washing procedure of one washing drum takes longer time, it will lead to a situation that the other washing drum is executing dehydration and drying procedures while the washing drum is executing a washing procedure.
Thus, it will also result in the occurrence of a situation that two washing drums execute large power procedures at the same time at the same time.
Besides, during a working procedure of a washing machine with multiple drums, if two washing drums executes the drainage procedure at the same time, it will lead to the occurrence of a situation that the outlet flow in the shared drainage pipe of the two washing drums is too large, which even causing drainage is not timely and water flows backward.
However, in the existing technology, the description of the control of the drainage-dehydration procedure of the multi-drum washing machine is not comprehensive enough, especially the engagement logic of the two procedures is not mentioned.

embodiment 1

[0040]A drainage-dehydration control method of a multi-drum washing machine in the embodiment is introduced as follows:

[0041]Before the first washing drum executes a drainage procedure, it is judged whether the second washing drum is executing a drainage procedure or a dehydration procedure. If yes, the first washing drum continues to execute a washing procedure or a rinse procedure, or suspends executing drainage or dehydration procedure until the dehydration procedure of the second washing drum is completed. If no, the first washing drum starts the drainage procedure and the dehydration procedure.

[0042]In the embodiment, before the first washing drum starts the drainage procedure, the second washing drum is executing the drainage procedure, so the first washing drum continues to execute the washing-procedure or the rinse procedure, or suspends executing the draining procedure or dehydration procedure. The first washing drum restarts the drainage procedure and the dehydration proce...

embodiment 2

[0064]As shown in FIG. 3, a drainage control method of a multi-drum washing machine. When the first washing drum reaches the drainage procedure, it is determined whether or not the second washing drum is in a dehydration procedure. If the second washing drum is in the dehydration procedure, the first washing drum waits until the dehydration procedure of the second washing drum is completed, and then drains. The water in the first washing drum plays a role as a counterweight, thus it increases the overall weight of the washing machine to achieve the effect of vibration absorption.

[0065]If the second washing drum is not dehydrating at the moment, it is judged whether to wait until the dehydration is completed, and then to drain. It can avoid the scenario that the second washing drum starts to dehydrate as soon as the first washing drum finished draining water. Under that scenario the water in the first washing drum cannot achieve the effect of vibration absorption, resulting waste.

embodiment 3

[0085]In the present disclosure, the first washing drum 1 and the second washing drum 2 are communicated with the same inlet pipe through pipe path, and a control device for controlling the flow of water is provided on the pipes. Thus, before the washing process is performed, the washing water can be injected into first washing drum and / or the second washing drum through the water inlet pipe path.

[0086]However, since the inlet water flow rate of the household inlet pipe is constant, when the first washing drum and the second washing drum are supplied with water at the same time, it will cause the occurrence of smaller inlet flow rate and the first washing drum and the second washing drum not reaching the set water level. It also will cause the problem that inlet water flow rate is unstable and the water level of washing water in the first washing drum and the second washing drum cannot be accurately determined

[0087]In order to avoid the above-mentioned situation, the water quantity ...

Abstract

A drainage-dehydration control method of a multi-drum washing machine, the washing machine at least comprising a first washing drum and a second washing drum; the method comprising: before the first washing drum executing drainage or dehydration procedure, judging whether the second washing drum is draining or dehydrating. If yes, the first washing drum continuing executing a washing procedure or a rinse procedure, or suspending executing the drainage or dehydration procedure until the second washing drum finishes dehydration; if no, the first washing drum starting drainage and dehydration. By the above method, the first washing drum and the second washing drum cannot execute the drainage-dehydration procedure at the same time; and during the waiting process of one washing drum, another washing drum continues a washing procedure or a rinse procedure, so as to make the rational use of waiting time and improve the efficiency of washing clothing.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present disclosure relates to a washing machine and a control method of a washing machine in a field of washing, and the washing machine comprises multiple washing drums which are capable of washing clothing in different ways based on the amount and types of clothing, and it also relates to the drainage-dehydration control method of the multi-drum washing machine.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]A washing machine executes cleaning, rinsing and spinning-dehydration operations to make use of the interaction between detergents and water to remove stains attached to clothing. A dryer as another representative clothing processing device is a household appliance for drying wet clothing.[0003]Recently, a household appliance with combined function of a washing machine and a dryer has been widely used.[0004]With the improvement of people's quality of life, people's health awareness has gradually increased, especially in aspect of family clothing washing, more ...
