Abstract

See full text

A balancing system for a laundry appliance is disclosed, which is particularly suited to horizontal axis washing machines. The system includes force and acceleration transducers at each end of the drum, to detect the imbalance. Several algorithms are disclosed, which calculate the correction required to correct for the imbalance. The correction is implemented using a set of balancing chambers, at each end of the drum. The advantages include the traditional mechanical suspension to be dispensed with, and that the system is capable of adapting to different types of floors.
