- The method further comprises selecting a first rinsing mode for repeating the rinsing operations and heating the rinsing water, when the rinsing/sterilization reinforcing course is selected.
- The method further comprises selecting a second rinsing mode for only repeating the rinsing operations, when the rinsing/sterilization reinforcing course is selected.
- The number of times of the repeated rinsing operations when the rinsing/sterilization reinforcing course is selected is larger than the number of times of the repeated rinsing operations when another washing course is selected.
- In another aspect of the present invention, provided herein is a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine comprising selecting a rinsing mode before a washing operation is started; and performing the rinsing operation, comprising heating rinsing water, according to the selected rinsing mode, when the washing operation according to a selected washing course is completed.
- The rinsing mode is one selected from the group consisting of a first mode for repeating the rinsing operations and heating the rinsing water and a second mode for only repeating the rinsing operations.
- The rinsing water is heated only in the final rinsing operation of the repeated rinsing operations, when the first mode is selected.
- The method of the present invention has effects, as described below.
- First, the rising operations are repeated according to kinds and states of laundry, thereby increasing a rinsing capacity.
- Second, since the temperature of the rinsing water is increased using a heating unit in the final rinsing operation or in a designated number of times of the rinsing operations including the final rinsing operation of the repeated rinsing operations, it is possible to increase removal of residual detergent and sterilization of the laundry, thus allowing the laundry to be sanitized.
- The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understanding of the invention, illustrate embodiments of the invention and together with the description serve to explain the principle of the invention.

-
FIG. 3 is a flow chart illustrating a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine in accordance with the present invention. - The method of the present invention comprises setting a medic care program, which raises the temperature of rinsing water, for rinsing laundry, using a heating unit, to a designated temperature in the rinsing operation.
- Preferably, the heating of the rinsing water is performed in the final rinsing operation in consideration of the removal of residual detergent and the sterilization of the laundry.
- In accordance with the method of the present invention, the repetition of the rinsing operations and the sterilization of the laundry by heating the rinsing water facilitate the increase of the rinsing capacity of the overall rinsing operations.
- First, as shown in
FIG. 3 , in addition to the selection of a washing course for a washing operation, a user selects one mode out of two modes, i.e., first and second modes, for a rinsing operation (S301). - Here, in one mode of the first and second modes, the medic care program for increasing the sterilization of the laundry and the rinsing capacity is selected so that the repetition of the rinsing operations and the heating of the rinsing water are performed, and in the other mode of the first and second modes, the only repetition of the rinsing operations is performed.
- After the washing operation is performed according to the set course (S302), and is completed (S303), dirty washing water resulting from the washing operation is drained (S304).
- Thereafter, the laundry is intermittently dehydrated for a designated time, and, after the intermittent dehydration is completed, the laundry is dehydrated at a rotational speed differing from that of the intermittent dehydration for a designated time (S305).
- Here, the dehydrating operation may be performed by a different method.
- After the dehydration is completed, the rinsing mode selected by the user is determined (S306).
- When the rinsing mode includes the repetition of the rinsing operations and the heating of the rinsing water, the rinsing operations are performed, as follows.
- Here, one rinsing operation includes supplying water, rinsing, and draining.
- In general, the rinsing operations are repeated a designated number of times. After one rinsing operation is completed, it is determined whether or not the designated number of times of the rinsing operations have been performed (S307), and the rinsing operations are repeated until the designated number of times is reached according to the determined result (S310).
- When the final rinsing operation is performed, the rinsing water is heated so that the temperature of the rinsing water is raised to a designated temperature using the heating unit (S309).
- The heating of the rinsing water is not limited to the final rinsing operation. The heating of the rinsing water using the heating unit may be performed at each of a designated number of times of the rinsing operations in the late stage, including the final rinsing operation, of the overall rinsing operations.
- The reason that the heating of the rinsing water is limited to the designated number of times of the rinsing operations in the late stage of the overall rinsing operations is that various factors, such as energy efficiency, sterilization of laundry, and removal of residual detergent, are considered.
- As a result of the determination of the rinsing mode selected by the user (S306), when it is determined that the general rinsing mode, in which the heating of the rinsing water is not performed, is selected, the rinsing operations are repeated the designated number of times (S311).
- After the rinsing operations are repeated the designated number of times according to the set rinsing mode, the washing machine is drained (S312), and the laundry is dehydrated (S313).
- Here, the temperature of the rinsing water is maximally raised to 95° C.
- The present invention provides a method for controlling a rinsing operation of a washing machine, in which the temperature of rinsing water is raised using a heating unit a number of times selected from the total number of times of rinsing operations, thereby increasing an overall rinsing capacity in the rinsing operations.
- Further, the method of the present invention increases an overall washing capacity of the washing machine to increase consumer satisfaction, and allows laundry to be sanitized.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention.
