METHOD TO IDENTIFY WEIGHT OF LINEN LOCATED IN WASHING MACHINE DRUM AND WASHING MACHINE THAT REALISES THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC D06F33/02 

FIELD: textile, paper.

SUBSTANCE: method to identify weight of linen located inside the drum (6) of the washing machine (1), where the specified drum (6) is fixed with the possibility of rotation inside the washing tank (3), suspended to the support frame (2) with the possibility of self-alignment with the help of at least one cylindrical spring (4). The method includes the following stages: rotation of the drum (6) with previously specified angular speed; continuous production of length value (H) of the specified cylindrical spring (4) in process of the drum (6) rotation with previously specified angular speed; and calculation of the total mass (m_tot) of linen available inside the specified drum (6), by means of its assessment on the basis of the medium value (H_m) of length (H) of the specified cylindrical spring (4) in process of the drum (6) rotation with previously specified angular speed.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of linen weight detection in the drum.
