Apparatus and method for detecting the fall and / or detachment of a wall-mounted drum washer

摘要

An apparatus for detecting when a drum washer mounted on a wall falls, slides, tilts or detaches from the wall, comprising: a horizontal detection sensor (20-1) configured to generate a sensor value corresponding to an inclination horizontal of a main body of a washing machine (1); characterized by a verticality detection sensor (20-2) configured to generate a sensor value corresponding to a vertical inclination of the main body of the washing machine (1); and a control (24) configured to determine if the main body of the washing machine (1) has been dropped, slid, tilted or detached from the wall by receiving sensor values from the horizontal detection sensor (20-1) and the verticality detection sensor (20-2), and block the power to the washing machine (1) when the main body of the washing machine (1) has fallen, slid, tilted or detached from the wall.
