Abstract:
A packing box (20) for electric home appliances is disclosed. The packing box (20) includes a box body (21) configured to surround a perimeter of one side surface of an electric home appliance (10) and a portion of other surfaces adjoining the one side surface, wherein a region of the box body (21) surrounding at least one of upper and lower portions of the electric home appliance (10) is provided with an openable folding structure (23). Accordingly, in the packing process using a packing box (20), packing may be completed through only two operations of fitting the packing box (20) onto both side surfaces of an electric home appliance. Therefore, the packing process may be simplified, and production time and labor may be reduced.
Abstract:
A shock absorber (300) and a dishwasher (100) including the same are disclosed. The dishwasher (100) includes a tub having a dish introduction port formed in a front surface thereof, a door (122) for opening and closing the dish introduction port and a rack (200) having moving casters so as to be drawn out of and introduced into the tub (130), dishes being placed on the rack (200), and the shock absorber (300) is disposed between the tub (130) of the dishwasher and the rack (200) and includes a body (310), a receiving groove (351,361) formed in one side surface of the body (310) so as to receive a portion of the rack (200), and a pressing portion (330) provided on a remaining surface of the body (310) so as to press and support a portion of the tub (130) to thus press the body (310) downwards.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of controlling an air conditioner including a step of sensing the capacitance of condensed water through any one of a plurality of electrode pads to sense the level of the condensed water during cooling, and a step of operating a drainage pump based on the level of the condensed water sensed through any one of the electrode pads to drain the condensed water stored in the condensed water storage part. A water level detecting device of the air conditioner more accurately senses the level of condensed water based on the capacitance of the condensed water, thereby effectively controlling the drainage pump.
Abstract:
An air conditioner and a method of operating the same are provided. The air conditioner includes a noise sensor, sets a target noise level for controlling the operation of the air conditioner according to ambient noise measured by the noise sensor, and changes the operational settings of the compressor and outdoor unit fan to ensure that noise from the air conditioner does not exceed an environmental noise regulatory value. Accordingly, the air conditioner and the method of operating the same can allow for more efficient low noise operation by detecting ambient noise around the air conditioner and controlling the operation of the air conditioner according to the ambient noise level, and offer a more pleasant environment by eliminating the user's discomfort from noise.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of controlling an air conditioner including a step of sensing the capacitance of condensed water through a plurality of electrode pads to sense the level of condensed water stored in a condensed water storage part during cooling, a step of comparing the sensed level of the condensed water with a drainage level stored in a memory, and a step of, upon determining that the sensed level of the condensed water is within an error range of the drainage level, operating a drainage pump. A water level detecting device of the air conditioner more accurately senses the level of condensed water based on the capacitance of the condensed water, thereby effectively controlling the drainage pump.

Abstract:
The air conditioner includes a sensing unit for sensing a breakdown or an operation state of a motor. The state of the motor is sensed using a non-contact type sensor, whereby it is possible to easily monitor the states of a compressor and a fan motor without modifying conventional air conditioners, to sense the progress of the abnormality of the compressor and the fan motor or whether the compressor and the fan motor have broken down, and to estimate the expected lifespan of the compressor or the fan motor based on the state thereof using the monitored results. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the damage to the air conditioner due to abnormality of the compressor or the fan motor.
