Abstract: A washing machine control method accurately determines an amount of
laundry in the washing machine, while driving a motor (4) coupled to a
drum (3) under load, based on a computed average of pulse width
modulation values at the time of stopping the drive of a motor and the
motor's rotational angle as the motor freewheels to a stop, in order to
conserve water and reduce the time required for performing a washing
step. The method includes steps accelerating a motor to a target
rotational speed, by periodically applying to the motor a pulse width
modulation (PWM) signal having a predetermined duty ratio (S1); storing
in a memory a set of PWM values corresponding to the signal applied in
the accelerating step (S2), by sensing a rotational speed of the motor;
outputting a PWM signal having a duty ratio of zero, after the sensed
motor speed reaches the target rotational speed (S3), to allow the motor
to freewheel to a stop (S6); computing an average of the stored PWM
values (S7); measuring a rotational angle of the motor as the motor
freewheels to a stop (S8); calculating a laundry amount estimation value
based on the average of the stored PWM values and the motor's rotational
angle; and determining a laundry amount by comparing the calculated
laundry amount estimation value to a set of laundry amount reference
values stored in a lookup table (S9). The laundry amount estimation
value equals
w 1 PWM   ave   +w 2    motor   ,
where PWM   ave    is the computed average of the stored PWM
values,    motor    is the measured rotational angle, and
w 1  and w 2  are weight constants.
