Abstract

A washing machine capable of optimizing the rinsing time and the amount of rinsing water by using a conductivity sensor (18), and a method of controlling a rinsing cycle thereof. When the amount of detergent remaining in the rinsing water is determined to be small according to the measured conductivity, the amount of rinsing water and the rinsing time are minimized, that is, the rinsing water is alternately supplied in stages of times, the conductivity of the rinsing water is measured at the stop of the supply of rinsing water, and if the measured conductivity is below a reference value, the rinsing cycle is stopped and enters to a final-spin dry cycle, so that the water and energy is saved and the rinsing is achieved with the optimum algorithm when laundry having a little contamination and a small amount of detergent is input.

Description

technical field [0001] The following description relates to a washing machine capable of optimizing rinsing time and rinsing water volume by using a conductivity sensor and a method of controlling a rinsing cycle thereof. Background technique [0002] In general, a washing machine (for example, a drum type washing machine) is one that includes a water tub for storing water such as washing water or rinsing water, a cylindrical drum rotatably installed in the water tub to accommodate laundry, and a generator for rotating the drum. The driving force of the motor. As the cylindrical drum rotates, laundry accommodated in the drum ascends and descends, so that the laundry is washed using a descending force. [0003] A washing machine performs washing by performing a series of operations including the following: a washing cycle that separates dirt from laundry by using water in which detergent is dissolved (ie, wash water); a rinse cycle that uses water that does not include Dete...
