A washing apparatus and a control method thereof using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or a machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for Internet of things (IoT) is provided. The washing apparatus including a container in which laundry is accommodated includes a controller, a motor electrically connected to the controller and configured to rotate the container, a weight sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to measure a weight of the laundry accommodated in the container, and a vision sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to photograph the laundry accommodated in the container.

A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining a cabinet interior. A drum is rotatable within the cabinet interior, and at least partially defines a treating chamber. The treating chamber has a treating chamber air inlet and a treating chamber air outlet. A drying air circuit is fluidly coupled to the treating chamber air inlet and to the treating chamber air outlet. The laundry treating appliance can include first and second air temperature sensors, at least a first humidity sensor, and a controller operably coupled with the sensors.

Disclosed are a washing apparatus and a control method thereof using an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or a machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for Internet of things (IoT). A washing apparatus including a container in which laundry is accommodated includes a controller, a motor electrically connected to the controller and configured to rotate the container, a weight sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to measure a weight of the laundry accommodated in the container, and a current sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to measure a current value applied to the motor.

A laundry treating appliance comprising a combination washer/dryer having a cabinet defining an interior, a tub located within the interior with a first access opening, and a rotatable drum located within the tub interior and defining a treating chamber with a second access opening, aligned with the first access opening, and an air recirculation conduit.

A washing machine appliance includes a wash tub defining a wash chamber and an intake and exhaust duct that are fluidly coupled to the wash chamber. A vent door is positioned within the intake duct for regulating a flow of air into the wash chamber and a drive motor selectively rotates a wash basket within the wash tub. When a command to reduce humidity is received, a controller may open the vent door and rotate the wash basket in a periodic cycle to urge the flow of air through the wash chamber and out the exhaust duct to lower a humidity within the wash chamber and the gasket, e.g., to reduce mold and mildew growth.

The present application relates to a laundry treatment apparatus. The laundry treatment apparatus includes: a cabinet having a front panel and an opening provided by penetrating through the front panel; a drawer body configured to be ejected from the cabinet through the opening of the cabinet; a tub provided in the drawer body and defining a space configured to receive water; a drum rotatably provided in the tub and configured to receive laundry; a drawer panel fixed to the drawer body and configured to open the opening of the cabinet when the drawer body is ejected from the cabinet and to close the opening of the cabinet when the drawer body is retracted into the cabinet; and a drawer holder configured to fasten the drawer panel to the cabinet when the drawer panel closes the opening of the cabinet.

A water replenishment control method for a multi-drum washing machine. The washing machine comprises at least a first washing drum and a second washing drum. While the first washing drum is in a washing process, if the water level of washing water is lower than a set value, then a water replenishment process is executed, and before that, it is necessary to determine whether or not the second washing drum is executing a water replenishment process; if yes, the first washing drum pauses the water replenishment process, and the second washing drum executes precedence preferentially; if no, the first washing drum executes water replenishment process and terminates it when the water level of the washing water reaches a set water level.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a laundry treatment apparatus which automatically removes and discharges foreign substances collected in a filter net provided on an air circulation path. A laundry treatment apparatus according to the present invention comprises: an outer tub; an inner tub disposed inside the outer tub; an air circulation path of which the start end is connected to the side surface of the outer tub, and which includes a section which upwardly extends from the upper side to the lower side; a water drain path which is connected to the lower surface of the outer tub so as to guide water inside the outer tub to be drained to the outside; a filter part having a filter net which is disposed to traverse the upwardly extending section of the air circulation path; and a nozzle arrangement part in which a plurality of nozzles, for spraying cleaning water to the filter net from the lower side of the filter part, are arranged. A method for controlling the laundry treatment apparatus comprises: a water supplying step of supplying wash water into the outer tube; a laundry washing step for washing or rinsing laundry in the inner tub by using the wash water; and a water draining step of controlling the wash water to be drained through the water drain path while controlling the cleaning water to be sprayed through the plurality of nozzles and be drained through the water drain path.
