METHOD FOR DISPLAYING A WARNING MESSAGE OF A WASHING MACHINE
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a washing machine, and more particularly, to a method for displaying a warning message of a washing machine. Background Art In general, the washing machine rotates a rotating tub, and a pulsator by a driving force of a motor, for conducting washing, rinsing, and spinning, wherein laundry is washed by using friction between the laundry, the washing water, and the rotating tub occurred as washing water and the laundry introduced in the rotating tub are pulsated. The related art washing machine conducts respective cycles automatically according to numbers of times, periods, and etc., of the washing, rinsing, and spinning, either selected, and set by a user directly, or preset by a manufacturer.
A system and operation of the related art washing machine will be explained, with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram showing a system of a related art washing machine schematically, and FIG. 2 illustrates a flow chart showing operation of the related art washing machine.
The related art washing machine is provided with a key application part 10 for selecting a user's desired function, a water level sensing part 20 for sensing a water level, a controlling part 30 for controlling cycles of the washing machine according to functions selected through the key application part 10, and controlling loads according to a result of water level sensed by the water level sensing part 20, a load driving part 40 for driving different loads, such as water supply valve, a drain valve, the motor, and the like, and a display part 50 for displaying operation states of the functions selected through the key
application part 10 under the control of the controlling part 30. The display part 50 has 88 segments for displaying a remained washing time period, and a plurality of light emission diodes LED.
When the user applies an washing command by pressing keys on the key application part 10, the related art washing machine processes washing as the controlling part 30 applies control signals to the load driving part 40 according to a preset washing cycle sequence, to drive the motor (not shown), the water supply valve (not shown), the drain valve (not shown), and the like, in succession. When the user applies the washing command, the controlling part 30 provides control signals so that particulars of the setting the user selects are displayed on the display part 50, when the display part 50 displays operation time periods, and remained washing time periods required for washing, rinsing, and spinning functions respectively for each of washing courses, in response to the control signals from the controlling part 30.
The process for washing the related art washing machine will be explained with reference to FIG. 2. Power is applied to the washing machine (SI). Then, the user selects a desired washing course, and applies an operation button, to start the washing cycle (S2-S3). Pass of a preset first set time period is determined (S4). As a result of the determination (S4), if the preset first set time period is passed, the washing cycle ends, and the drain valve is turned on (S5-S6). When the drain is completed as the drain valve is turned on, detection of a zero water level at the water level sensing part is determined (S7). As a result of the detection (S7), if the zero water level is sensed at the water level sensing part, the drain valve is turned off, and an intermittent spinning is conducted (S8-S9). Then, passing of a preset second set time period is determined (S10). As a result of the determination (S10), the preset second preset time period is passed, after a showering water supply is conducted, a main spinning cycle is conducted (S 11 -SI 2). Upon completion of the main spinning cycle, the water
supply valve is turned on (SI 3). Then, sensing of a preset set water level at the water level sensing part is determined (S14). As a result of the determination (S14), if the water level sensing part senses the preset set water level, the water supply valve is turned off, and the rinsing cycle is conducted (S15-S16). Then, completion of the rinsing cycle is determined (S 15 -S 16) . Upon completion of the rinsing cycle, the drain valve is turned on (S 18) . Then, sensing of a zero water level at the water level sensing part is determined (SI 9). As a result of the determination (SI 9), if the water level sensing part senses the zero water level, the drain valve is turned off, and a final spinning cycle is conducted (S20-S21).
As described, the related art washing machine turns off the water supply valve to stop water supply upon completion of the water supply up to a water level meeting to an amount of laundry, starts the washing cycle, stops the motor (not shown) if the washing cycle is progressed as much as the preset time period, to end the washing cycle, and, on the same time, puts the drain valve (not shown) into operation, for draining the washing water. The water level sensing part 20 senses the water level until the water level reaches to the zero water level when the washing machine starts the spinning. Then, the washing machine turns off the drain valve (not shown) when the preset set spinning time period is passed, and starts rinsing. In the rinsing too, alike the foregoing operation, the water supply valve (not shown) is turned off, and the motor (not shown) is put into operation, to conduct the rinsing, when the controlling part 30 senses a rinsing time period to drive the drain valve (not shown) to drain the washing water if the preset set time period is passed. When the zero water level is sensed, the drain valve (not shown) is turned off, and the final spinning is conducted, to finish an entire washing process.
As has been explained, the related art washing machine can only display operation states, but not warning messages as the display part is of an LED type, damage to the laundry and re-washing may be caused from overlooking, that deteriorate a washing performance.
