DRUM WASHING MACHINE

摘要

This drum washing machine is provided with the following: a rotating drum (3) that contains laundry; a water tank (3) that contains said drum such that the drum can rotate; a motor (7) that drives the drum; a water-supply unit (10) that supplies washing water to the water tank; a circulation unit (17) that circulates the washing water in the water tank into the drum; foam-detection units (27, 28) that detect the amount of foam; and a control unit (22) that controls, at least, a wash cycle, a rinse cycle, and a spin-dry cycle. Said control unit (22) rotates the drum at a prescribed speed on the basis of the amount of foam detected by the foam-detection units (27, 28) and controls the circulation unit (17) so as to disperse the washing water throughout the laundry in the drum (3). The drum (3) is thus optimally driven in accordance with the amount of foam, increasing washing performance.
