METHOD FOR ESTIMATING THE MOMENT OF INERTIA OF THE ROTATING UNIT OF A WASHING MACHINE, AND WASHING MACHINE IMPLEMENTING SAID METHOD

摘要

A method for estimating the moment of inertia (Je) of a rotating unit (7) of a washing or washing-and-drying machine (1) comprising the steps of: establishing one or more linear parameters (Ki (?i) ); rotating the drum (4) of the rotating unit (7) in such a way as to reach a set of speeds (?i) of a pre-set value; once each speed (?i) of a pre-set value is reached, detecting the value of the torque (Ti) provided to the rotating unit (7); and finally estimating the moment of inertia (Je) of the rotating unit (7) through a linear combination of the torques (Ti) detected and by means of the linear parameters (Ki).
