Abstract:
A clothes treating apparatus includes an accommodating space, an air supply unit, a duct unit and a filter assembly. The accommodating space is configured to receive one or more clothing articles. The air supply unit is configured to supply air to the accommodating space. The duct unit is configured to guide discharge of air from the accommodating space. The filter assembly is positioned to filter air discharged from the accommodating space through the duct unit and includes a housing, a filter positioned in the housing, a substance removal unit and a collection area defined within the housing. The filter positioned in the housing is configured to filter substances from air passing through the filter assembly. The substance removal unit is configured to move substances remaining on a portion of the filter and press the moved substances into the collection area, which is configured to collect removed substances within the housing.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a cleaner station, the cleaner station including a door unit including a door hingedly coupled to a coupling surface and configured to open or close a dust passage hole formed in the coupling surface, and a flow path part provided in a flow path tube and configured to connect a dust bin of the cleaner and a dust collecting part, in which the door unit includes a scraper coupled to the door and configured to come into contact with at least a part of the flow path tube when the door blocks the dust passage hole, and the scraper wipes away foreign substances in a flow path when the door rotates, thereby removing dirt remaining in the dust bin, remaining at the periphery of a coupling part, or remaining in the flow path.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for controlling a cleaner station, the method comprising: a dust bin fixation step of fixing a dust bin of a cleaner when the cleaner is coupled to a cleaner station; a door opening step of rotating a door of the cleaner station to open a dust passage hole when the dust bin is fixed; a dust collecting step of operating a dust collection motor of the cleaner station in a state in which the door is open, to collect the dust in the dust bin; and an additional dust collecting step of maintaining the flow rate of air passing through the dust passage hole while changing the velocity of the air, after the dust collecting step, thereby suctioning dirt remaining in the dust bin and around a filter.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a robot cleaner comprising a shielding module provided under a cleaner body, wherein the shielding module includes a cam and a hiding plate which rotate with the same phase angle about a same rotating shaft. The distance between the center of the hiding plate and the center of the rotating shaft is configured to be longer than the distance between a contact point on an inclined surface of the cam and the center of the rotating shaft, wherein a guide protrusion of a bumper is in contact with the inclined surface at the contact point. Therefore, the rotation movement speed of the hiding plate which rotates to hide a cliff sensor is much faster than the inner movement speed of the bumper. Accordingly, the present invention can improve sensitivity to the detection of a collision between the bumper and an obstacle by using the cliff sensor.
Abstract:
A drying machine is disclosed. The drying machine includes a drum (10) for containing clothes to be dried, an air circulating unit for circulating air through the drum (10), a motor (55) for driving a drying fan (50) for air circulation, a condenser (300) for condensing moisture in circulating air introduced from the drum (10), a heating unit (60) for heating the circulating air introduced from the condenser (300), and a base (100), which is disposed under the drum (10) to support the drum (10), and which constitutes a lower part of the drying machine, wherein the air circulating unit includes a condensation duct (200), which is adapted to be changed in structure so as to accommodate different types of condensers (300) in accordance with heat exchanging manners of the condenser (300), wherein the base (100) includes a condensation duct mount (110) having a consistent shape and size capable of accommodating any type of condensation duct (200) regardless of a shape of the condensation duct (200).
Abstract:
A drying machine is disclosed. The drying machine includes a condensation duct (200) for accommodating a condenser (300), a first drying duct (141) connected to a rear end of the condensation duct (200) and to a drying fan housing (146) accommodating a drying fan (50), a second drying duct (145) connected to the drying fan housing (146) and to a drum (10), a first drying duct drain outlet (710) formed in the lower portion of the first drying duct (141), and an outer rib (720), which is provided at the side edge of the first drying duct drain outlet (710) that is close to the drying fan housing (146) and which extends upward, so as to prevent condensed water, introduced through the condensation duct (200), from flowing over the first drying duct drain outlet (710).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a clothes treating apparatus (100) including a reception unit (3) configured to receive clothes, a discharge duct (71) configured to guide air coming from an interior of the reception unit (3) to an outside of the reception unit (3), a filter unit (9) including a frame (F) that is configured to be detachably inserted into the discharge duct (71) and a filter (93) provided in the frame (F) that is configured to filter air, and an attachment unit (C) configured to detachably couple the filter unit (9) to the discharge duct (71), wherein the attachment unit (C) includes a body (993) provided in the frame (F) and configured to rotate to thereby allow coupling between the filter unit (9) and the discharge duct (71), and a coupling part (995) located at one side of the body (993) and configured to be selectively coupled to the discharge duct (71) through a through hole (915) that is defined in the frame (F), wherein the body (993) defines a body through hole (996) passing through the body (993), the body through hole (996) being configured to prevent foreign substances from remaining in a space between the body (993) and the through hole (915).
