Filed: 2002-11-27
Abstract: <P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a washing machine whose washing power can be improved by a change in relative position between laundries and a rotary drum.  <P>SOLUTION: When acceleration a1 caused by torque T1 is applied to a drum 5 during normal rotation, the drum 5 is decelerated, inverted and accelerated.

When laundries of a smaller quantity than a prescribed quantity is supplied into the drum 5, the acceleration a1 and a2 are applied to agitate the laundries by inertia force. When laundries of a larger quantity than the prescribed quantity is supplied into the drum 5, friction between the laundries and the drum 5 is larger than the inertia force of the laundries when the acceleration a2 is applied, thereby the laundries is rotated integrally with the drum 5. When the acceleration a1 larger than the acceleration a2 is applied, the friction between the laundries and the washing drum 5 becomes smaller than the inertial force of the laundries, thereby the laundries are moved relatively to the drum 5 by inertia.  <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
