  • the drum type washing machine which is provided with a cylindrical drum installed therein and filled with water, washes laundries using friction between the laundries and the drum and potential energy of the laundries generated when the laundries are lifted up along an inner surface of the drum and then dropped from a high position while the drum is rotated in forward and rearward directions in turn by several times and thus has little damage of the laundries, no entanglement of the laundries and an effect as if beating or rubbing the laundries.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a conventional drum type washing machine.
  • the drum type washing machine includes a drum 11 for putting laundries 14 thereinto and a tub 10 provided outside the drum to house the drum.
  • Washing water is filled in the tub 10 by a predetermined level 15.
  • a heater 13 for heating the washing water is provided at a lower part of the drum 11 to give a boiling wash effect.
  • the drum 11 is rotated alternately in left and right directions so that the laundries can absorb the washing water sufficiently.
  • a motor (not shown) is driven to rotate the drum 11. Accordingly, the laundries 14 are repeatedly subject to upward movement and drop by a lifter 12 in the drum 11 and main washing process is carried out.
  • a rinsing process in which the washing water contaminated during the main washing process is discharged and supply of clean water and rinsing the laundries 14 are then repeated several times is carried out.
  • a spin-dry process in which the drum 11 is rotated in a high speed to remove the water absorbed in the laundries 14 with a centrifugal force is carried out.
  • the preceding process is a general washing process of a drum type washing machine.
  • Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method of washing shoes in a drum type washing machine which is capable of efficiently washing the shoes in consideration of material and weight of the shoes, thereby reducing vibration and noises of the washing machine upon wishing and preventing deformation of the shoes.
  • a method of washing shoes in a drum type washing machine includes: a washing step of washing the shoes by supplying washing water to a tub and rotating a drum connected with a motor; a rinsing step of rinsing the shoes after the completion of the washing step; and a spin-drying step of spin-drying the shoes by rotating the drum alternately in left and right directions after the completion of the rinsing step.
  • the washing water is supplying a low level.
  • the washing step includes a soaking step of soaking dirt of the shoes for a predetermined time by heating the washing water to a predetermined temperature.
  • the motor is rotated at 30 to 55 RPM.
  • the rinsing step includes a interim spin-drying step of spin-drying the shoes by rotating the drum alternately in the left and right directions.
  • the spin-drying step the spin-dry is continued for 3 to 15 minutes.
  • the drum is rotated for a predetermined time in the left and right directions, respectively, with stop period between the rotations.
  • the motor is rotated at 40 to 45 RPM.
  • the spin-drying step includes a high speed spin-drying step of spin-drying the shoes by rotating the motor at a high RPM.
  • the method may further include a cleaning step of cleaning the tub after the completion of the spin-drying step.
  • the cleaning step is performed when selected within a predetermined time after the completion of the spin-drying step.
  • the method may further include a drying step of drying the shoes at a low temperature after the completion of the spin-drying step.
  • the heater is turned on at 30 to 40°C and turned off at 45 to 55°C.
  • the drying step is continued for 30 ⁇ 5 minutes.
  • the drum is rotated for predetermined time in the left and right directions, respectively, with stop period between the rotations.
  • the present invention it is possible to efficiently wash the shoes in consideration of material and weight of the shoes, thereby reducing vibration and noises of the washing machine upon wishing and preventing deformation of the shoes.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating a conventional drum type washing machine.
  • FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of washing shoes in a drum type washing machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method of washing shoes in a drum type washing machine in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a weight of laundries putted into the drum is measured to determine a water level to be supplied according to the detected weight of the laundries, and clean water is supplied to the tub which houses the drum by the determined water level.
  • the process of measuring the weight of the laundries is omitted and the water is supplied by a predetermined water level (S10).
  • the predetermined water level is the same as a water level when the measured weight of the laundries is below 4Kg. That is to say, the water is supplied to the tub by such a level that the shoes are slightly dipped therein. At this time, during the water is supplied, the motor is stopped to omit rotation of the drum in the left and right directions, thereby preventing impact noises caused by bumping of the shoes against an inner wall of the drum.
  • the motor is driven at 30 to 55 RPM to rotate the drum, thereby performing a main washing process (S12).
  • a soaking process in which the supplied water is heated to soak and remove dirt smudged on surfaces of the shoes for a predetermined time, may be performed.
  • the washing water is preferably heated to a temperature of 40 ⁇ 5°C.
  • the washing water is heated to a high temperature, an adhered portion of the shoes may be weakened or a shape of the shoes may be deformed.
  • the rinsing process includes a draining (S14) for draining the washing water used and contaminated in the main washing process (S12) to the outside, an interim spin-dry (S16) for removing water absorbed in the shoes, a water supply (S18) for supplying clean water again to the tub and a rinsing (S20) for rinsing the shoes with the supplied clean water.
  • the interim spin-dry (S16) for removing water absorbed in the shoes may be optionally omitted.
  • the interim spin-dry (S16) is characterized by an alternate spin-dry, in which the motor is not rotated at 700 to 750 RPM to rotate the drum like the general washing process but rotated at 40 to 45 RPM alternately in the left and right directions to simply shake off the water on the shoes.
  • the water used in the last rinsing process (S20) is drained to the outside (S24) and a main spin-dry (S26) is performed.
  • an alternate spin-dry in which the motor is rotated for 10 seconds in the left and right directions, respectively, with 10 seconds of stop period between the rotations, is performed like the interim spin-dry performed in the rinsing process.
  • the spin-dry in the main spin-dry (S26) is continued for 3 to 15 minutes and an effect of shaking out the water absorbed in the shoes is obtained by the drum alternately rotated in the left and right directions (S28).
  • an additional spin-dry may be performed by rotating the motor at a high speed of 400 ⁇ 50RPM.
  • a low temperature dry may be additionally performed after the main spin-dry (S26).
  • the shoes are dried not at a high temperature like when drying general clothes but at a relatively low temperature of 40 ⁇ 5°C
  • the heater repeats turned on at 30 to 40°C for 2 to 10 seconds and turned off at 45 to 55°C for 30 to 60 seconds, thereby maintaining the temperature of 40 ⁇ 5°C.
  • an adhered portion of the shoes may be weakened or a shape of the shoes may be deformed.
  • the dry temperature can be set to be slightly higher.
  • This low temperature dry (S30) is continued for 30 ⁇ 5 minutes and the motor is rotated alternately and intermittently in the left and right directions. That is to say, the motor is rotated for 2 seconds in the left and right directions respectively and 30 seconds of long stop period is present between the rotations. At this time, the motor is rotated at 30 to 45 RPM.
  • a tub cleaning process for cleaning the tub of the washing machine is performed since soil may acts as a contaminant when the soil smudged on the shoes is fall out and remained in the tub.
  • tub cleaning process (S36) rinsing and spin-dry are respectively performed one time.
  • This tub cleaning process (S36) may be performed when a user selects tub cleaning within a predetermined time, for example, 3 to 5 minutes (S34).
  • the tub cleaning is performed after the main spin-dry (S26) is completed (S28).
