Solution Overview
Problem
Ordinary washing machines can cause damage to high-end, soft clothing materials due to agitating or beating types of washing, which do not meet user demands for gentler cleaning methods.
Innovation Solution
A multi-drum washing machine control method utilizing multiple sets of connected washing devices, where one device's oscillation drives washing water and laundries in others to create a soft washing effect through vibration or jumping, while reducing energy consumption by minimizing the first device's rotation during oscillating washing.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If agitating type washing or beating type washing is used in ordinary washing machines, then washing effectiveness is improved, but damage to soft clothing materials occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies mechanical vibration by causing the washing drum to oscillate at specific frequencies rather than rotating continuously at high speeds. This vibration creates a gentle washing action that effectively cleans soft clothing materials without causing damage through aggressive agitation or beating forces.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs periodic action by implementing oscillating washing cycles with specific time periods and frequency ranges. The drum oscillates back and forth in a periodic manner, creating gentle washing forces that are effective for soft materials while avoiding the continuous high-speed rotation that causes damage.
2Object-affected harmful factors
If multiple washing devices oscillate to drive each other for soft washing, then gentler cleaning is achieved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the functions of multiple washing devices by having them oscillate in coordination where one device's oscillation drives the other. This combining of devices allows them to work together synergistically, achieving gentle washing for soft materials while the coordinated operation optimizes energy utilization compared to independent operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies self-service by designing the system where one washing device's oscillation automatically drives the other device without requiring additional energy input for the second device. The oscillating motion is transferred between devices, allowing the system to generate its own washing action and reduce overall energy consumption.
3Power
If the first washing device rotates at high speed, then washing power is improved, but energy consumption increases and soft washing effect is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by transitioning from static high-speed rotation to dynamic oscillating motion. The washing drum oscillates back and forth within a specific frequency range rather than rotating continuously at high speed, creating effective washing power through controlled dynamic motion that consumes less energy and provides gentler washing action.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The method effectively prevents damage to soft laundries and reduces energy consumption by using mutual oscillating washing between devices, ensuring a gentle cleaning process while optimizing energy utilization.
Implementation Method 1
when at least one washing device oscillates, other at least one washing device and washing water and laundries therein are driven to oscillate, and a function of soft washing of the laundries is realized by the vibration or jumping of the washing water therein
Data Source
AI summary
The present disclosure discloses a control method of a multi-drum washing machine. The control method includes setting an oscillating program in the multi-drum washing machine. The oscillating program is a program in which oscillation generated by at least one washing device is used as an oscillating source to drive washing water and laundries in another at least one washing device to generate an interaction and achieve a washing effect. When at least one washing device oscillates, another at least one washing device and washing water and laundries in the washing device are driven to oscillate; and the vibration or jumping of the washing water in a drum is used to realize a function of soft washing of laundries and solve the problem of washing damage to soft laundries due to agitating type washing or beating type washing.
