Method for water supply in laundry device
Abstract
A method for water supply in a laundry device is disclosed. An object of the present invention is to provide a method for water supply in a laundry device which prevents detergent from remaining/being stuck in/to a dispenser body by discharging detergent/wash water more smoothly. A method for water supply in a laundry device includes (a) step for supplying water; (b) step for temporarily stopping water supply for a predetermined time in the middle of the water supply; and (c) step for re-starting water supply after the predetermined time and finishing water supply to a predetermined water level.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A method for water supply in a laundry device comprising:
(a) step for supplying water; (b) step for temporarily stopping water supply for a predetermined time in the middle of the water supply; and (c) step for re-starting water supply after the predetermined time and finishing water supply to a predetermined water level.
2 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water level of (a) and (c) step is sensed by a water level sensor which outputs frequencies corresponding to a sensed water level.
3 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein (a) step comprises steps of,
controlling a water supply valve based on a control signal for performing cycles to start water supply; sensing the laundry amount during the water supply and setting a water level corresponding to the sensed laundry amount; and defining the set water level as the predetermined water level of (c) step.
4 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein (b) step is performed, if the present water level according to the water supply of (a) step reaches a water level frequency prior to a discretional predetermined value with respect to the water level frequency corresponding to the predetermined water level, compared with the predetermined frequency corresponding to the predetermined water level of (c) step.
5 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein (b) step is performed, if the present water level according to the water supply of (a) step reaches a water level frequency prior to a discretional predetermined value with respect to the water level frequency corresponding to the predetermined water level, compared with the predetermined frequency.
6 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the discretional predetermined value is a frequency between 0.1˜0.5 kHz.
7 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the predetermined time for temporarily stopping the water supply in (b) step is between 1˜5 sec.
8 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein (b) step is performed at least one time after the water supply starts.
9 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 4 , wherein (b) step is performed at least one time during the water supply, in case that the water supply of (a) step is for a main washing.
10 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein (b) step is performed in the beginning of the water supply.
11 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein on/off of the water supply valve is alternatively repeated in (b) step.
12 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the on/off operation, which is one time of (b) step, is repeatedly performed within 3 to 10 times.
13 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the water supply of (c) step is finished, if the present water level according to the water re-supply reaches the predetermined water level frequency.
14 . The method for water supply in a laundry device as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the water supply of (c) step is finished, if the present water level according to the water re-supply reaches the predetermined water level frequency.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
