A washing machine including a door provided to open and close an inlet, a tub having an opening corresponding to the inlet, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub and in which laundry is accommodatable, a door cleaning nozzle provided to spray washing water toward the door, a pump chamber provided at a lower portion of the tub to store the washing water discharged from the tub, a drain pump provided to pump the washing water stored in the pump chamber and discharge the washing water to the outside, and a controller provided to rotate the drum in order to tumble the laundry, spray washing water through the door cleaning nozzle, operate the drain pump to discharge the washing water stored in the pump chamber, and supply the washing water to a water supply pipe connected to a detergent supply device.

Washing machine and control method thereof

A washing machine including a door provided to open and close an inlet, a tub having an opening corresponding to the inlet, a drum rotatably provided inside the tub and in which laundry is accomodatable, a door cleaning nozzle provided to spray washing water toward the door, a pump chamber provided at a lower portion of the tub to store the washing water discharged from the tub, a drain pump provided to pump the washing water stored in the pump chamber and discharge the washing water to the outside, and a controller provided to rotate the drum in order to tumble the laundry, spray washing water through the door cleaning nozzle, operate the drain pump to discharge the washing water stored in the pump chamber, and supply the washing water to a water supply pipe connected to a detergent supply device.

A washing apparatus and control method where the washing apparatus comprises a door configured to open and close the entrance; a tub inside a main body; a diaphragm configured to connect the entrance with the opening; and a drum rotatably provided inside the tub. The washing apparatus includes a door washing nozzle to inject water for a first time in a first section and then to inject the water for a second time in a second section when a washing mode of the diaphragm is entered. The washing mode of the diaphragm including the first section in which the drum in a stopped state is accelerated to arrive at a first target rotation speed less than a second target rotation speed and the second section in which the drum at the first target rotation speed is accelerated to arrive at the second target rotation speed.

Washing apparatus and control method for the same

A control method of a washing machine is capable of safely achieving a tub washing operation control with low power consumption. At the time of performing tub washing, water of which the amount is decided depending on a volume inside a drum and a volume inside a water tub is supplied to the water tub, and the rotation speed of the drum is controlled to be inversely proportional to the volume of the supplied water, thereby efficiently controlling a tub washing operation with low power consumption. Also, the rotation state of the drum is controlled, at the time of performing the tub washing, to maintain the temperature of a motor or a printed circuit board (PCB) to be a predetermined level or less, thereby safely controlling a tub washing operation with low power consumption. In addition, it is determined whether the revolutions per minute (RPM) of the drum rotating at the tub washing operation belong to a resonance band, and the RPM are controlled such that the RPM deviate from the resonance band, thereby achieving a tub washing operation procedure with small noise and vibration.
