Abstract:
An induction cooking apparatus includes a plate, a first coil disposed under the plate, a second coil disposed under the plate and around the first coil, and a temperature detector disposed on the plate and including a resistor element having a resistance value changed according to a temperature of a cooking vessel induction-heated by the second coil. Therefore, it is possible to conveniently detect the temperature of the cooking vessel in the induction cooking apparatus.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a washing machine comprising a main drum rotatably mounted in the tub, a sub drum mounted inside the main drum to be relatively rotatable with respect to the main drum, an outer shaft for rotating the main drum, an inner shaft for rotating the sub drum and disposed inside the outer shaft, and a driving motor. The driving means is configured to rotate the main drum and the sub drum in different directions and/or with different rotational speeds. The washing machine further comprises a main drum spider to connect the main drum to the outer shaft to transfer a driving force of the driving means to the main drum, and a sub drum spider to connect the sub drum to the inner shaft to transfer a driving force of the driving means to the sub drum, wherein the two spiders are arranged to be independently rotatable.
Abstract:
A door opening and closing device for a refrigerator includes a door coupled by means of a hinge unit to a main body defining a storage compartment therein, a gasket disposed between the door and the main body to provide a hermetic seal therebetween, and an opening and closing unit for opening and closing the door with respect to the main body, wherein the opening and closing unit includes a drive unit for generating a driving force, a gasket separation mechanism for pushing the main body using rotational force transmitted from the drive unit to separate the gasket from the main body or the door, and a door rotating mechanism for rotating the door using the rotational force transmitted from the drive unit.
Abstract:
A door opening and closing device for a refrigerator includes a door coupled to a main body, an opening and closing unit including a drive unit for generating rotational force by means of a motor and a door rotating mechanism for opening or closing the door, a device for measuring a back electromotive force generated from the motor, a power circuit connected for supplying power to the motor, a circuit for transmitting back electromotive force of the motor to the device, a control switch for selectively connecting the motor to the circuit or the power circuit, and a control unit for connecting the control switch to the power circuit when the motor is activated, and connecting the control switch to the circuit and opening or closing the door when the motor is deactivated, wherein the control unit closes the door when a predetermined back electromotive force is input to the device.

Abstract:
According to the present invention, a dishwasher comprises a case (1) defining an outer appearance and an opening at a front side thereof; a door (2) configured to close the open front side of the case (1); a tub (18) configured to provide a washing chamber; a rack (11, 12) disposed inside the tub (18) and configured to accommodate a dish; a dish recognition camera (20, 20a-20d) disposed on at least one of an inner surface of the door (2) or an inner surface of the tub (18) and configured to capture an upper portion of the rack (11, 12); and a controller (500) configured to control driving of the dishwasher and the dish recognition camera (20, 20a-20d), wherein the controller (500) is configured to: obtain a first dish image (601a) and a second dish image (601b) captured at different time points by the dish recognition camera (20, 20a-20d) based on a preset operation, process the obtained first dish image (601a) and second dish image (601b), and determine an abnormal operation of the dish recognition camera (20, 20a-20d) based on a result of processing the images. Furthermore, a corresponding method is disclosed.
Abstract:
A vehicle-mounted antenna system according to the present invention comprises: a first antenna system in which a plurality of first antenna elements disposed in a structure mounted on a vehicle perform multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO); and a second antenna system in which a plurality of second antenna elements attached to a side surface of a polyhedron disposed in the structure perform beamforming, wherein the disposed plurality of first antenna elements are formed, in the front and back of the polyhedron, on a substrate erected at a predetermined angle to the structure, and thus, the present invention may provide an antenna array optimized in terms of spacing between antenna elements in a flat-type vehicle antenna provided with an LTE antenna system and a 5G antenna system.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a magnetic cooling system and provides a magnetic cooling system comprising: a magnetocaloric material (70) for generating and emitting heat when a magnetic field is applied thereto, and absorbing heat when the magnetic field is removed therefrom; a magnetic heat exchanger (20) containing the magnetocaloric material (70) therein; a heat transfer fluid for heat-exchanging with the magnetocaloric material (70) while flowing inside the magnetic heat exchanger (20); a magnetic field applying part (30) comprising a first magnetic field applying part (31) and a second magnetic field applying part (32), which are installed to have the magnetic heat exchanger (20) disposed therebetween; and a driving part (90) for moving one of the first magnetic field applying part (31) and the second magnetic field applying part (32), wherein, as the driving part moves one of the first magnetic field applying part (31) and the second magnetic field applying part (32), the attraction force between the first magnetic field applying part (31) and the second magnetic field applying part (32) causes synchronous movement of the other thereof.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a dishwasher that sprays wash water to wash dishes or cookware and a method of controlling the same. The method of controlling the dishwasher includes supplying wash water from an external water source to a sump and intermittently driving a washing pump to change the level of water around a filter, thereby removing filth from the filter.
