Abstract:
A washing machine including a drying function for drying laundry items received therein is provided. The washing machine may include an air circulating device that circulates air through a tub of the washing machine and heats air for re-supply to the tub, and an air discharge device that discharges a portion of moist air from the tub to an outside of the tub.
Abstract:
A laundry treatment apparatus may include a cabinet defining an external appearance of the apparatus, the cabinet having a laundry opening, a laundry accommodation module provided within the cabinet to receive laundry introduced through the laundry opening, a suction duct into which interior air from the laundry accommodation module may be introduced, a discharge duct from which the air is discharged into the laundry accommodation module, a connection duct connecting the suction duct and the discharge duct to each other, a heat exchanger provided in the connection duct, and a blower provided between the heat exchanger and the discharge duct to circulate the interior air of the laundry accommodation module.
Abstract:
A clothes treatment apparatus and a method for controlling a clothes treatment apparatus are provided. The clothes treatment apparatus may include a drying duct, a first blower fan located in the drying duct that circulates interior air within the drying duct, and a filter located in the drying duct. The method may include sensing clogging of the filter, and switching a flow of air passing through the filter from a first direction to an opposite second direction if clogging of the filter is sensed. The method may further include a washing cycle for washing clothes, and a drying cycle for drying the clothes. An implementation time of the washing cycle may be less than an implementation time of the drying cycle.
Abstract:
A laundry treating apparatus includes a drum for accommodating laundry therein. The drum may be directly coupled to a free end of a rotation shaft extending from a driver for providing power to rotate the drum.
Abstract:
A laundry treating apparatus is configured to reduce a volume independently occupied by a driver that rotates a drum for accommodating laundry therein, and a volume of a space defined between a rear surface of the drum and a cabinet rear panel.
Abstract:
A laundry treatment apparatus includes: a housing defining a reception space, a first through-hole in communication with the reception space and defined at a first surface of the housing, a second through-hole in communication with the reception space and defined at a second surface facing the first surface, a driver including (i) a driving shaft rotatably fixed to the second through-hole and defining a concentric shaft and (ii) a motor configured to rotate the driving shaft, a connection shaft fastening portion disposed at the driving shaft, defining a space, and configured to transmit rotational motion of the driving shaft, and a support configured to be elastically deformed between a second connection body and the second surface and configured to press the second connection body toward the first connection body such that the first connection body is coupled to a fastening body.
Abstract:
A laundry machine (100) is disclosed. The laundry machine (100) includes a tub (120), an air supply unit (160) configured to circulate air in the tub (120), a heat pump including a compressor (165), an evaporator (220), an expansion valve, and a condenser (240), the heat pump being configured to dehumidify and heat the air from the air supply unit (160), and a cooling unit (300, 400, 500) installed at the compressor (165) to cool the compressor (165) using a supplied fluid.

Abstract:
A laundry treating apparatus includes a drum including a drum body, a front cover, and a rear cover, a fixed panel that is spaced apart from the rear cover and defines a panel inlet and a panel outlet, a rotor, an exhaust duct configured to guide air from the drum to the panel outlet, a heat exchanger configured dehumidify air in the exhaust duct, a flow path forming part fixed to the fixed panel and in contact with the drum, a duct body fixed to the fixed panel and configured to guide air from the panel outlet to the panel inlet, the duct body receiving the rotor, and a flow path guide configured to guide a portion of the air from the panel outlet to the duct body in a clockwise direction and another portion of the air from the panel outlet to the duct body in a counterclockwise direction.
Abstract:
An apparatus for treating laundry includes a cabinet and a drum. The cabinet includes a base panel, a support panel fixed to the base panel, and a fixed panel fixed to the base panel. The drum includes a cylindrical drum body and a drum entrance defined at a front cover of the cylindrical drum body. The apparatus further includes a support panel perforated hole defined at the support panel and in communication with the drum entrance, a drum connecting body provided at the support panel and connecting the support panel perforated hole to the drum entrance, and a drive part. The drive part includes a stator configured to generate a rotating field, a rotor configured to be rotated by the rotating field, and a power transmission part that is fixed to the fixed panel and that is configured to transmit a rotational motion of the rotor to the drum.
