Title: Laundry appliance including control means which energises a motor to evenly distribute a load in response to signals from load sensors
Inventor: RHODES DAVID CHARLES
IPC: F16F15/00
Filed: 2006-12-21
Abstract: A laundry appliance is disclosed. The laundry appliance includes a perforated rotatable drum for spin dehydrating a wet textile load, an electric motor for providing an accelerating force which in use causes the drum to rotate, load sensors for detecting static or dynamic imbalance in the rotation of the drum, and a controller which receives inputs from the load sensors. The controller is programmed to, in a spinup phase, energise the electric motor so as to evenly distribute the load within the drum and minimise any static or dynamic imbalance during drum rotation. The controller is programmed to monitor the load sensors for a first condition during low speed rotation of the drum in which the load is tumbling within the drum. On detecting the first condition the controller will immediately accelerate the drum to a higher speed where the load is held centrifugally against the drum. The controller is programmed with software which causes it to carry out the following steps: (a) energise the electric motor to rotate the drum at a first predetermined rotational speed where the load is tumbling; (b) monitor the load sensors; (c) continually determine one or more characteristic indexes from the input of the load sensors; and (d) determine the presence of the first condition by comparing the indexes with a first criteria. The load sensors sense vertical forces on the drum, at least a component of the inputs from the load sensors represents the vertical forces on the drum. The processor is programmed to detect, within a single revolution of the drum at the first speed, that the forces created by the tumbling load within the drum are evenly distributed throughout the period of the rotation.
