Abstract:

In order to understand the influence of wash load types on textile motion pattern and washing performance, a high-speed camera was used to record the outline of fabric in the front-loading washer (Haier WH7560P2). The recorded image of the textile was converted into binary image to calculate the textile centroid. According to the trace of textile motion, 8 movement indexes were put forward to characterize the textile motion, and the relationship between movement indexes and washing efficiency was established, which is applicable for the model of Haier WH7560P2. Single experiment design was used to study the relationship between three kinds of wash load and textile motion during washing. The results indicate that textile motion varies with the wash load types. The ratio of passive motion region of cotton wash load is the largest with value of 62% as well as the washing efficiency and rate of fray (44% and 25% respectively). The ratio of passive region, washing efficiency and fray rate of polyester wash load is the least with value of 41%, 39% and 6.6% respectively. Sliding and falling of textile change alternatively in washing period which could improve washing performance.

Key words: drum washer, wash load, textile motion, regression analysis, washing performance
