Abstract
A rotary speed control that is dependent on the instantaneous position of the entrainment members in the rotating drum affords a further degree of freedom in terms of introducing mechanical energy into the laundry that is being moved in the interior of the washing drum. By way of the intensity or duration of the washing operation, this permits additional optimization of the washing result, insofar as the interaction between the washing drum and the laundry now definedly varies over the rotation of the drum topography or the instantaneous drum movement can be adapted to the current condition of interaction between the entrainment member and the laundry.
Claims10
A method of treating laundry, which comprises the steps of:
- subjecting the laundry to turbulence by introducing mechanical energy to the laundry disposed in a washing drum driven by a drum drive motor, the washing drum having rib-shaped entrainment members on an inside wall disposed approximately in parallel relationship with a rotation axis;
- and
- varying control of the drum drive motor in dependence on an instantaneous rotary position of the rib-shaped entrainment members.
