Abstract:
Disclosed are a fixing device and a refrigerator having the same. The fixing device includes a clasp (400) installed to a first member (12), the clasp having a contact portion (402, 404) defining a plane, and a coupler (500) installed to a second member (100), the coupler serving to fix the second member to the first member to enable selective coupling or release of the second member and the first member. The coupler includes a hook (510) having a protruding tip portion (511) configured to come into contact with the contact portions (402, 404) so as to be caught by the contact portion (404), the hook being rotatable, and an elastic member (52,0) configured to elastically support the hook such that the hook is rotated toward the clasp. A contact position of the protruding tip portion and the contact portion is spaced apart from a rotation center of the hook by a predetermined distance (d).
Abstract:
A method of controlling a robot cleaner (10) is provided. The method of controlling a robot cleaner (10) includes recognizing information on a monitoring standby position (P) by a robot cleaner (10), moving to the monitoring standby position (P) at a monitoring start time by the robot cleaner (10), acquiring an image, by an image acquisition unit (110) of the robot cleaner (10), at the monitoring standby position (P), determining whether an event occurs, by the robot cleaner (10), based on the image acquired by the image acquisition unit (110), transmitting the image acquired by the image acquisition unit (110) to an external remote terminal (20) when it is determined that the event occurs.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a household appliance comprising: a door; a door lock unit equipped with a hook part which is configured to unlock and open the door by moving outward; a motor configured to generate torque by using electricity; a driving gear unit which has a rotary shaft at one end portion and is configured to rotate by receiving the torque from the motor, wherein the one end portion pushes the hook unit to the outside of the door lock unit to open the door when the driving gear unit rotates in one direction; a sensing unit configured to sense the displacement of the other end portion of the driving gear unit when the hook unit moves to the inside of the door lock unit, wherein the other end portion rotates in the opposite direction about the rotary shaft of the driving gear unit; and a control unit configured to control the operation of the motor on the basis of the displacement, sensed by the sensing unit, of the other end of the driving gear unit.
Abstract:
A refrigerator includes a cabinet (11) defining a storage compartment, a refrigerator door (13) configured to open and close the storage compartment, a hinge assembly (30) configured to couple the refrigerator door to the cabinet, and a door opening device (20) provided at the cabinet and configured to rotate the refrigerator door (13) about the hinge assembly (30). The door opening device (20) includes a frame (200), and a pushing member (240) slidably provided at the frame (200) and configured to protrude from the frame (200) toward the hinge assembly (30) to thereby open the refrigerator door (13).
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a dishwasher including a detergent supply device, in which the detergent supply device includes: a case mounted to one side of the door; a cartridge disposed in the case and storing a detergent solution; a connector body disposed in the case, connected to the cartridge, and having a discharge chamber temporarily storing the detergent solution discharged from the cartridge or discharging the detergent solution to an outside; a valve movably mounted in the connector, and allowing the discharge chamber to communicate with the cartridge or allowing the discharge chamber to communicate with an outside, depending on arrangement; and a solenoid which is disposed at one side of the case, and when a current is applied, is configured to generate a magnetic field to move the valve in a first direction.
Abstract:
The present relates a refrigerator, and includes a cabinet which has a storage space; a door which opens and closes the storage space; a hinge which connects the door and the cabinet and supports the door so that the door is capable of rotating; and a damping device which is provided on one side where the hinge is mounted and provides a damping force to the door when the door rotates in a closing direction, in which the damping device consists of an oil damper, and a contact surface is formed on one side corresponding to the damping device, with which the door starts to be in contact and thus to which a damping force is transmitted, at a set angle α2 or less, and which is separated from the damping device when the door is opened.
Abstract:
Provided is a lighting assembly. The lighting assembly includes an upper body configured to define a top surface thereof, a lower body coupled to a lower portion of the upper body to define a bottom surface thereof, a light diffusion member coupled between the upper body and the lower body, the light diffusion member being constituted by a first surface facing the upper body, a second surface facing the lower body, and a third surface provided as a curved surface and exposed outward, a light guide made of a light transmissive material, the light guide being in contact with one surface of the first surface and the second surface of the light diffusion member, and an LED disposed to face one surface of the light guide, which is not in contact with the light diffusion member.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a refrigerator which allows a user to easily open the doors of the refrigerator. To achieve the aforementioned purpose, provided according to one embodiment of the present invention can be a refrigerator comprising: a cabinet having storage chambers; doors for opening/closing the storage chambers; and door opening devices operating so as for the doors to open, wherein the door opening devices comprise: a motor provided so as to generate a driving force; and a rack provided in a direction diagonal to the front side of the cabinet, wherein the rack is moved in the lengthwise direction thereof by the drive of the motor.
