Abstract:
A clothes-drying machine includes a drum (6) defining a cavity that receives clothes to be dried, a cabinet (1 ) that houses the drum and defines an opening to enable loading and unloading of clothes, a door (3) configured to open an dclose to enable and inhibit access to the opening, a filter assembly (4) configured to filter foreign substances included in air exhausted from the drum, and a filter guide (30) positioned at a portion of the cabinet (1 ) that defines the opening and defining a conduit that receives at least a portion of the filter assembly. The filter guide (30) includes a sensing mechanism configured to detect a presence of the filter assembly in the conduit, a filter cover (10) positioned within the conduit defined by the filter guide and separated from the portion of the cabinet that defines the opening, and a securing member (13) configured to secure the filter cover in the closed position and allow the filter cover to move to an open position based on the sensing mechanism detecting the presence fo the filter assembly in the conduit.
Abstract:
In a general aspect, an apparatus for treating clothes includes a filter unit and a substance removal unit. The filter unit is positioned to filter substances from air discharged from an accommodating space and the substance removal unit is configured to move substances remaining on a portion of the filter unit. A method for controlling the apparatus for treating clothes includes detecting a condition related to the apparatus for treating clothes. The method further includes controlling, based on detection of the condition and without user input after detection of the condition, the substance removal unit to start removing substances remaining on the portion of the filter unit.
Abstract:
A clothes treating apparatus (100) includes a filter assembly (6) which is positioned to filter air discharged from an accommodating space (2) of the clothes treating apparatus (100) through a duct unit (4). The filter assembly (6) includes a housing (61) and filter units (65) to filter out foreign substances such as lint and a foreign substance removal unit (67). The housing (61) includes a first housing part (61 1) with a first filter (651) and a second housing part (612) with a second filter (653) which are connected to each other by a hinge (613). The foreign substance removal unit (67) includes a brush (671) provided between the filter units (65).
Abstract:
A dryer includes a cabinet (1), a drum (6) rotatably provided in the cabinet, a duct that defines a flow passage for air exiting the drum, and a filter assembly (4) located at a position relative to the flow passage and contacting air that has exited the drum. The filter assembly includes a case (410) defining the filter assembly, a filter portion (420) configured to filter foreign substance from the air contacting the filter assembly, a brush frame (430) configured for rotational movement relative to the case about a rotational axis, and a brush (440) that is supported by the brush frame and configured to separate the foreign substance fron the filter portion. A first distance from a first side of the case to the rotational axis of the brush frame is longer than a second distance from a second side of the case to the rotational axis of the brush frame.

Abstract:
A robot cleaner includes a cleaner main body that autonomously travels, a suction nozzle mounted to be able to move up and down or swing with respect to the cleaner main body, and a supporter to support the suction nozzle to be able to move up and down or swing. According to this configuration, the robot cleaner can easily respond to a change in a height of a floor to improve travel performance and implement an action that can help in climbing obstacles. In addition, even when a height difference of the floor is large, cleaning performance can be improved by maintaining a contact stress and increasing a suction pressure of the suction nozzle.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a dishwasher ejecting wash water containing microbubbles. The dishwasher according to an embodiment includes a tub accommodating dishes therein, a plurality of wash arms spraying wash water into the tub, a bubble nozzle ejecting wash water containing microbubbles to the bottom of the tub, a sump disposed below the bottom of the tub and collecting wash water therein, a wash pump pumping wash water collected in the sump, a channel-switching unit supplying wash water pumped by the wash pump to at least one of the plurality of wash arms, and a bubble module generating microbubbles in wash water pumped by the wash pump and supplying the wash water containing microbubbles to the bubble nozzle, and a controller operates the wash pump and controls the channel-switching unit and the bubble module to spray wash water through at least one of the plurality of wash arms and simultaneously to eject wash water through the bubble nozzle.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cloth treating apparatus, including a cabinet which forms an exterior thereof, a drum rotatably mounted to the cabinet, a heat pump for supplying hot air to the drum, a steam generator for supplying steam to the drum, and a water tank for supplying water to the steam generator, wherein the water tank is positioned on a refrigerant flow passage of the heat pump, thereby increasing steam generating efficiency by elevating an initial temperature of the water used for the steam generation.
