The invention provides a roller washing
machine and a
dehydration control method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of clothes treatment equipment. According to the method, a first
photoelectric sensor and a second
photoelectric sensor are arranged on the upper outer wall of the front end and the upper outer wall of the rear end of an outer
barrel respectively, so that the load weight in an inner
barrel can be calculated based on data collected by the first
photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor before and after clothes are put in. Meanwhile, the front-end vibration quantity and the rear-end vibration quantity of the roller washing
machine can be calculated based on data collected by the first photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor within the preset duration of the
dewatering stage. Therefore, the eccentric position and the eccentric degree can be determined according to the load weight, the front-end vibration quantity and the rear-end vibration quantity in the inner drum, different
dewatering procedures are selected for
dewatering based on the different eccentric positions and the different eccentric degrees,
active sensing of eccentricity can be achieved in time,
noise generated during dewatering of the drum washing
machine is reduced, and dewatering efficiency is improved.
