Automatic washing machines .. The machines we use every day and how they perform

Automatic washing machines:

If you see the automatic washing machine doing its job, you will think that it is a human being. It performs all the stages of the process itself, after putting the dirty clothes in the cylindrical container, then turning the electric switch. Then the machine takes it upon itself to complete the entire process. Before the machine stops working on its own after about half an hour, it has done all of these operations:

- Soaked the clothes and turned them over in clean warm water.
- Washed these clothes in hot water with soap dissolved in it.
- (Rinse) these clothes several times in clean warm water.
- The clothes ran quick cycles until they got rid of a large part of the water in them.
And then it stops working on its own.

In order for the washing machine to perform all of these functions, and go through all of these stages on its own, it must include a large number of precise machines, each of which performs a specific function. The design of these machines varies from one washing machine to another, depending on its type and manufacturing method, but they all agree on the functions they perform. Here are these parts and what they do:

1 - There is a counter whose job is to record the time required for each stage of the process.

2 - There is a switch that allows the electric motor to start working, the washing machine, or stops it, so the current stops flowing, and then stops and the machine runs.

3 - There is a valve that allows hot water to enter the cylindrical container, or prevents it from entering it if it is filled with an appropriate amount of this water, and takes its need from it.

4 - There is another valve that does the same work as the first valve with regard to cold water.

E - There is a thermostat that regulates the flow of hot and cold water so that it can supply the machine with a suitable mixture of them at a suitable temperature.

6 - Finally, there is a drain valve, which opens to allow the used water to exit - so it flows into the drain.

Now, let's take a look at each of these machines in action.
