Washing machine and textile washing and rinsing method

A textile rinsing method in a vertical axis washing machine having a washing tub with a tub bottom, a perforated basket wherein the basket perforations allow fluid communication between an interior of the basket and the washing tub;

• a driving system to rotate the basket;
• an admission valve, a conduction hose placed outside the washing tub, a dispenser box disposed between the basket and a tub cover including at least one water entry, a series of electrical connections, a plurality of ducts and a plurality of holes;
• a directional valve;
• a pump and an electronic control having a counter;
• said method comprising performing a pre-established number of semi-rinse blocks, wherein a semi-rinse block from said pre-established number of semi-rinse blocks comprises the following steps:
• a) activating the water admission valve to admit a predetermined amount of fresh water between the tub (1) and the basket (2) while the basket is still,
• b) determining if the predetermined amount of fresh water is accumulated in the tub;
• c) once the predetermined amount of fresh water is admitted, sending a signal to the electronic control to close the admission valve and opening the directional valve shifting flow towards the conduction hose;
• d) activating the pump to lead the fresh water from the tub bottom through the conduction hose to the dispenser box, the plurality of ducts of the dispenser box lead the fresh water to the plurality of holes to be dispensed towards the textiles in the basket;
• e) spraying textiles within a spray area determined by an angle α which is between 70° to 110°, the electrical connections of the dispenser box receive and send signals from the electronic control to determine when to start and finish receiving and emitting water during the spraying phase
• f) spraying textiles for a time predetermined by the electronic control,
• g) once the spraying time has elapsed, turning off the pump,
• h) rotating the basket a β angle which is between 45° to 110°, angle β depends upon angle α to achieve a uniform spraying in all the spraying areas such that fresh water is sprayed to the textiles and these are uniformly damped and saturated of fresh water, the number of times the basket is rotated depends on angle α;
• i) stopping the basket once it reaches an β angle such that the electronic control determines if further rotations or indexations are needed;
• if further rotations or indexations are needed steps a) to h) are repeated;
• j) if the electronic control determines that the basket has completed its rotations, deactivating the directional valve to close way to the conduction hose and opening way towards the draining hose to drain the liquid from the tub bottom;
• k) when draining, centrifuge (16) is started by a predetermined time;
• l) stopping the basket once the draining and centrifuging steps are finished.
