The present invention relates to a washing machine comprising an outer tub containing water, and an inner tub disposed in the outer tub to accommodate laundry and rotated about a horizontal axis. The washing machine includes: a motor for providing rotational force; an outer shaft that has a first hollow, and rotates the inner tub; an inner shaft disposed in the first hollow and rotated by the motor; a pulsator disposed in the inner tub and coupled with the inner shaft; a planetary gear train for transmitting rotational force of the motor; a carrier mover which has an outer circumferential surface that is spline-coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the outer shaft, and an inner circumferential surface that is screwed with an outer circumferential surface of the clutch carrier; and a stopper restricting movement of the carrier mover, thereby achieving various washing modes with a simple mechanism by rotating the inner tub and the pulsator.

A washing machine appliance and a method of detecting and mitigating out-of-balance conditions includes obtaining a subwasher load weight after adding water to the wash tub and obtaining a displacement threshold based at least in part on the subwasher load weight. The wash basket is spun at a first, low speed and the displacement amplitude of the wash tub is measured using a measurement device, such as an accelerometer and gyroscope. The measured displacement amplitude is then compared to the displacement threshold and if the displacement amplitude exceeds the displacement threshold, an agitation element is rotated to agitate or redistribute the load of articles.

An impeller for a laundry washing machine having one or more scooping members. The one or more scooping member may include a variety of positions relative to the impeller. The one or more scooping members may pivot to one or more positions to direct or lift fluid. The one or more scooping members may define one or more fluid pathways.

A inner drum tripod, comprising a body for connecting with an inner drum of a washing machine, one side surface of the body faces the inner drum and the other side surface faces back to the inner drum, the part on the body in contact with the inner drum is provided with sealing structure preventing washing water from entering the gap space between the body and the inner drum of the washing machine. A drum washing machine includes an inner drum of the washing machine, the bottom of the inner drum of the washing machine is provided with an installation structure matched with the inner drum tripod, the tripod is fixed and installed at the bottom of the inner drum, and the sealing structure on the tripod contacts with the surface of the inner drum to form a closed connection.

The present invention relates to an laundry treating apparatus comprising: a tub providing a space for storing water; a drum rotatably provided inside the tub and providing a space for storing clothes; a detergent box provided outside of the tub and providing a space for storing detergent, and receiving water from only the tub; tub penetrating holes provided while penetrating the inner peripheral surface of the tub; and a connecting part of which one side communicates with the tub penetrating holes and the other side communicates with the detergent box so as to allow at least a portion of the water moving in a direction of the inner peripheral surface of the tub by a centrifugal force generated during rotation of the drum, to flow into the detergent box, and mix the same with the detergent and discharge the same back to the inner peripheral surface of the tub.

A smart household equipment controlling method and an apparatus are provided. Input information input by the user based on a natural dialog mode interface is obtained, then the control instruction of the smart household equipment is obtained according to the input information, so that the control instruction can be sent to the smart household equipment such that the smart household equipment executes an operation according to the control instruction.

A laundry treating appliance includes a treating chamber provided for receiving laundry for treatment, a controller having a memory in which is stored a set of executable instructions including a set of cycles of operations. The laundry treating appliance also includes a user interface operably coupled with the controller and having a touchscreen configured to provide an input and output function for the controller.

A laundry system can include a rotational motion chamber configured to be actuated rotationally and an agitation chamber configured to receive one or more washable articles. The agitation chamber can be disposed within the rotational motion chamber. The agitation chamber can be configured to be actuated linearly within the rotational motion chamber independent of the rotational motion chamber in a first state, and can be configured to be engaged to and rotated by the rotational motion chamber in a second state.

Disclosed is a water draining method of a washing machine. The water draining method comprises the following steps in order: a draining step, controlling a water drainage pump (4) to work intermittently until the water level inside an outer drum (2) reaches a set drainage water level; and a spin-drying step, controlling the electric motor to drive the inner drum to rotate to remove water, while also controlling the water drainage pump (4) to work intermittently. By controlling the water drainage pump (4) to work intermittently, when the water drainage pump (4) is working, the washing water inside the outer drum (2) enters a water drain pipe (3), and is then pumped by the water drainage pump (4) to be discharged via a riser segment of the water drain pipe (3); when the water drainage pump (4) stops working, the washing water in the riser segment of the water drain pipe (3) flows back under the action of gravity, and the water drainage pump (4) alternately working and stopping makes the washing water in the riser segment also flow back intermittently, and that facilitates foam floating on the washing water being discharged outside the washing machine. Therefore, the rinsing effect of the washing machine is improved and foam overflow is avoided.
