Benefits of technology

[0005]An object of the present invention is to provide a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth which can solve fiber lumping of the washed cloth.
[0006]Another object of the present invention is to provide a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth which can overcome the surface roughness of the washed cloth resulting from the fiber lumping.
[0007]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth which can solve fiber lumping of a towel.
[0008]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth which can solve fiber lumping of the washed cloth, by applying thermal or kinetic energy for solving the fiber lumping to the washed cloth.
[0009]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth which can solve fiber lumping of the washed cloth, as soon as it occurs.

Problems solved by technology

Such friction applies a non-uniform force to the cloth, to thereby cause fiber lumping to the cloth.
Such processes probably cause the fiber lumping.
Therefore, the dewatering process cannot solve the fiber lumping.
The draining process is nothing but a process of discharging the wash water, and thus cannot solve the fiber lumping.
If the washed cloth is a woven cloth with fibers protruding therefrom, such as a towel, the fiber lumping gets more serious.
Particularly, since the user uses the towel in washing his / her face, the roughened surface of the towel causes great inconvenience.

first embodiment

[0031]FIG. 2 is an explanatory view illustrating a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth in accordance with the present invention. In order to solve fiber lumping generated by friction between the cloth 21 and the wash water in the rotation of the drum 20, the present invention accompanies the corresponding processes (for example, the washing process and the rinsing process). If the wash water remains in the washed cloth 21, it is impossible to solve the fiber lumping. Accordingly, the wash water is removed from the washed cloth 21 and discharged to the tub 10, by rotating the drum 20 so that the washed cloth 21 can stick to the drum 20. Thereafter, the drum 20 is rotated at a uniform speed to tumble the washed cloth 21. As the washed cloth 21 performs the motion in the drum 20, mechanical energy is generated to loosen the lumped fibers of the washed cloth 21. However, the drum 20 is not essentially rotated at a uniform speed.

second embodiment

[0034]FIG. 3 is an explanatory view illustrating a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth in accordance with the present invention. So as to solve fiber lumping generated by friction between the cloth 21 and the wash water in the rotation of the drum 20, the present invention accompanies the corresponding processes (for example, the washing process and the rinsing process). Preferably, a fiber lumping solving process is performed every time after the processes. If the wash water remains in the washed cloth 21, it is impossible to solve the fiber lumping. Therefore, the wash water is removed from the washed cloth 21 and discharged to the tub 10, by rotating the drum 20 so that the washed cloth 21 can stick to the drum 20. Thereafter, the drum 20 is rotated at a uniform speed to tumble the washed cloth 21. As the washed cloth 21 performs the motion in the drum 20, mechanical energy is generated to loosen the lumped fibers of the washed cloth 21. However, the drum 20...

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth (21) which can prevent a cloth (21) with fibers protruding therefrom from being roughened due to fiber lumping after washing. The method of releasing the roughened surface of the washed cloth (21) generated when the cloth (21) is rubbed with wash water filled in a tub (10) by rotation of a drum (20) includes a first step of discharging the wash water from the washed cloth (21) to the tub (10), by rotating the drum (20) so that the washed cloth (21) can stick to the drum (20), and a second step of solving fiber lumping of the washed cloth (21), by using the motion of the washed cloth (21) by a frictional force between the rotated drum (20) and the washed cloth (21) by rotating the drum (20).

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth, and more particularly, to a method of releasing a roughened surface of a washed cloth which can prevent a cloth with fibers protruding therefrom from being roughened by fiber lumping after washing.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In a conventional drum type washing machine, after wash water is filled in a tub, a drum is rotated, so that a cloth is lifted by lifts of the drum, dropped by the gravity (tumbled), and washed by friction with the wash water.[0003]Such friction applies a non-uniform force to the cloth, to thereby cause fiber lumping to the cloth. Meanwhile, a conventional drum type washing method performs washing by the combination of a washing process, a draining process, a rinsing process and a dewatering process. In the washing process and the rinsing process, the wash water and the cloth are rubbed with each other. Such processes probably cause the fiber lumping. In th...
