Abstract
Disclosed is a clothes treating apparatus and a control method thereof. Specifically, the clothes treating apparatus may include an inverter configured to convert a direct current (DC) input into an alternating current (AC) output and provide the AC output to the motor, and a controller configured to control the inverter in relation to driving of the motor.
Claims19
A laundry treating apparatus comprising:
- an inverter configured to convert a direct current (DC) input into an alternating current (AC) output and provide the AC output to a motor;
- and
- a controller configured to control the inverter in relation to driving the motor,
- wherein
- the controller is configured to control the inverter according to at least one of a first mode or a second mode before starting up the motor, and
- a pattern of a first signal applied to the motor according to the first mode and a pattern of a second signal applied to the motor according to the second mode are different from each other, and
- wherein, when the controller controls the inverter according to the second mode, a first pattern signal having a same phase is applied to the motor, and then a second pattern signal having different phases is applied to the motor.

A laundry treating apparatus comprising:
- an inverter configured to convert a direct current (DC) input into an alternating current (AC) output and provide the AC output to a motor;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- check a control state of the laundry treating apparatus;
- and
- control the inverter according to a first mode before starting up the motor when the control state corresponds to a predetermined condition, and control the inverter according to a second mode before starting up the motor when the control state does not correspond to the predetermined condition,
- wherein controlling the inverter according to the second mode includes:
- initially applying a first pattern signal having a common phase to the motor, and then applying a second pattern signal having different phases to the motor.
