The auxiliary washing machine (300) includes a frame defining an accommodation space, a drawer (41 0) configured to be accommodated in the accommodation space, the drawer (410) defining a space for storage of wash water, a rotating structure (430) placed within the drawer (410), the rotating structure (430) having a rotating shaft (431 ) penetrating the drawer (410) so as to treat laundry, a motor provided below the drawer (410) and serving to rotate the rotating structure (430), and a front panel (320) located in front of the drawer (410), the front panel (320) defining a front external appearance of the auxiliary washing machine (300).
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the laundry treating apparatus. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to a laundry treating apparatus and method for controlling the apparatus, in which an auxiliary-drum is removable from a main-drum. There is provided a method for controlling a laundry treating apparatus, wherein the apparatus may include a main-drum and an auxiliary-drum selectively mounted on or separated from the main-drum, wherein the method may include: an auxiliary water-supply operation for water-supplying washing water into the auxiliary drum; and a provisional spinning operation for discharging initially-remaining water in the auxiliary drum out of the auxiliary-drum by a centrifugal force resulting from a rotation of the main-drum before the auxiliary water-supply operation, thereby to eliminate a measurement error of a laundry quantity in the auxiliary drum due to the initially-remaining water in the auxiliary drum, wherein the initially-remaining water remains in the auxiliary drum prior to a washing operation therein.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a laundry treating apparatus including a first drum that accommodates laundry therein, a tub that is located below the first drum and accommodates water therein, a second drum that is disposed inside the tub and accommodates the laundry therein, a base disposed between the first drum and the tub, an air supply that is disposed on the base and supplies air to the first drum, a fluid circulation system disposed on the base, wherein a fluid exchanging heat with air of the air supply circulates in the fluid circulation system, wherein the fluid circulation system includes a compressor that compresses the fluid, and a detergent supply that is disposed between the first drum and the tub and supplies detergent into the tub, wherein a lower end of the compressor is positioned to overlap the detergent supply along a direction parallel to the ground.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a laundry processing apparatus comprising: a tub for storing water and having an opening for putting in and taking out laundry; a drum, provided in the interior of the tub, for storing the laundry supplied through the opening; an agitator rotatably provided inside the drum; a fixed body fixed to the drum; a drum fixing part having a body-penetrating hole provided so as to penetrate the fixed body, and an accommodating body which is fixed to the fixed body and the cross-sectional surface of which is concentric with the body-penetrating hole; a rotating shaft connected to the agitator by penetrating the tub and drum, and inserted into the body-penetrating hole; a drive gear positioned inside the accommodating body and fixed to the rotating shaft; a driven gear provided along the inner circumferential surface of the accommodating body; at least two connecting gears connecting the drive gear and driven gear; a housing to which each connecting gear is rotatably fixed and which rotates inside the accommodating body due to the connecting gears; and a housing stopper, provided on at least one from among the housing and fixed body, for stopping the rotation of the housing when the rotating shaft has rotated by a previously set number of times.
Abstract:
A laundry treating apparatus (clothing processing apparatus) and a control method for the same are disclosed, and the laundry treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a cabinet; a tub; a drum; and a control unit provided to control rotation of the drum and perform a spin-drying cycle of clothes, wherein: the spin-drying cycle includes a first spin-drying cycle and a second spin-drying cycle; in the first spin-drying cycle, the rpm of the drum decreases immediately after increasing up to a peak rpm set in the control unit, so as to perform a peak motion of the drum; and in the second spin-drying cycle, the rpm of the drum increases up to a hold rpm set in the control unit, is kept at the hold rpm for a predetermined time, and then decreases, so as to perform a hold motion of the drum.
