CLUTCH CONTROL METHOD FOR ONE-TUB WASHING MACHINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a clutch control method for a one-tub washing machine capable of preventing a clutch from returning to a initial state and keeping the state as it is when instantaneous power interruption occurs during an operation even in the case of a pin clutch structure using a ferrite magnet and also preventing a structure from becoming large-scaled due to this constitution. SOLUTION: For the clutch control method for the one-tub washing machine, a spin dry shaft connected to a spinning tub is connected through a clutch device to a washing shaft and the clutch device is switched to a washing mode and a spin dry mode by freely attachably and detachably combining a clutch pin provided on a plunger fixed to the spin dry shaft and attracted or repelled by a solenoid coil with a clutch piece fixed to the washing shaft. When energizing is stopped during an operation and the operation is to be restarted thereafter, which side of washing and spin dry the clutch is switched to is judged and the operation is restarted after detecting that it is switched to an operation mode before the stoppage.
