Abstract

A full-automatic washing machine includes: an external-mounted housing having an inlet/outlet in the front surface of the external-mounted housing; a drawer capable of getting into and getting out of the external-mounted housing through the inlet/outlet and including retainer plates and a door part; a washing drum arranged in the drawer through a suspension and including a washing and dewatering drum having a fluid balancer and an outer drum capable of accommodating the washing and dewatering drum in a free rotation manner; sliding rails for enabling the drawer to move rectilinearly relative to the external-mounted housing; an acceleration sensor arranged on the drawer; and a control part. The control part obtains inclination of a main body of the full-automatic washing machine based on a static acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor, performs first dewatering control based on the inclination, and performs second dewatering control based on a dynamic acceleration which is detected by the acceleration sensor and corresponds to the vibration of the drawer during dewatering.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A washing machine, comprising:
 an external-mounted housing having an inlet/outlet in the front surface of the external-mounted housing;   a drawer capable of getting into and getting out of the external-mounted housing through the inlet/outlet;   a washing drum arranged in the drawer through a suspension, wherein the washing drum comprises a washing and dewatering drum and an outer drum, the washing and dewatering drum has a fluid balancer, the outer drum is capable of accommodating the washing and dewatering drum in a free rotation manner;   a sliding mechanism for enabling the drawer to move rectilinearly relative to the external-mounted housing;   an acceleration sensor arranged on the drawer; and   a control part,   wherein the control part obtains an inclination of a main body of the washing machine based on a static acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor, performs a first dewatering control based on the inclination, and performs a second dewatering control based on a dynamic acceleration, the dynamic acceleration is detected by the acceleration sensor and corresponds to a vibration of the drawer during dewatering.   
     
     
         2 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein in the first dewatering control,
 when the inclination of the main body of the washing machine is greater than a threshold value of the inclination, the control part enables the washing and dewatering drum to rotate in such a manner that an offset load generated in the washing and dewatering drum is located in the upper side of the inclined main body of the washing machine, and then starts rotation of the washing and dewatering drum for dewatering.   
     
     
         3 . The washing machine according to  claim 1 , wherein in the second dewatering control,
 when the dynamic acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor is greater than a threshold value of the dynamic acceleration, the control part stops a rotation of the washing and dewatering drum, and then performs an unwrapping operation for unwrapping washings in the washing and dewatering drum.   
     
     
         4 . The washing machine according to  claim 2 , wherein in the second dewatering control, when the dynamic acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor is greater than a threshold value of the dynamic acceleration, the control part stops the rotation of the washing and dewatering drum, and then performs an unwrapping operation for unwrapping washings in the washing and dewatering drum.
