Title:
WASHING MACHINE, METHOD OF DETERMINING STATE OF LAUNDRY, AND PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2010051431
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To disentangle laundry by determining the entangled state of laundry.
A washing machine includes a vibration detection section 6 for detecting vibration of a receiving tub 3, and an entanglement state determination section 9 detecting a change in the vibration detected by the vibration detection section 6, and when the magnitude of the change exceeds a predetermined value, determining that the laundry is entangled, wherein the entanglement state determination section 9 calculates a change in an amplitude value and a frequency component value of a signal obtaind by the vibration detection section 6, determines whether it is entangled or not and controls the rotation of a drum 1.
