Disclosed is a clothes treatment apparatus, which manages clothes. The clothes treatment apparatus includes: a chamber including a clothes management compartment to manage clothes; and a steam generator configured to change water into steam and supply the steam to the clothes management compartment. The steam generator includes: a steam generation tank partitioned into a first space to store water and a second space to heat water by a partition wall including a channel through which water moves from the first space to the second space; and a heater accommodated in the second space and configured to heat the water. The second space has a smaller dimension than the first space.

A washing machine having a reminding function for preventing clothing from fading, comprising: an outer drum for accommodating washing water; a color sensor arranged on the washing machine and detecting the color of the washing water, so that according to changes in the color of the washing water in a washing process, it is determined whether the clothing being washed is fading or not. Detection of the color of the washing water achieves the aim of determining, according to the changes in the color of the washing water, whether the clothing being washed is fading or not, thereby improving the sensitivity and accuracy of determination, and preventing a situation wherein fading clothing contaminates the washing water then causes secondary contamination of other clothing being washed.

In accordance with one aspect of the present disclosure, a washing machine includes a rotating tub configured to accommodate laundry, a water supply pipe configured to spray water over a surface of the laundry. The washing machine also includes a controller configured to execute a water supply cycle in which an operation of each of the rotating tub and the water supply pipe is controlled and water is supplied to the rotating tub. The washing machine further includes a wash cycle in which the laundry is washed and the controller executes a first cycle in which the rotating tub is rotated faster than a rotational speed in the wash cycle so as to discharge air contained inside the laundry before the wash cycle is terminated.

The present invention relates to a washing method for textiles, which prevents the clothes to be washed from becoming disarranged, entangled or knotted by means of an intensive agitating cycle with asymmetric and symmetric agitating cycles in combination with soaking periods thereby achieving optimal washing with low water consumption.

The invention relates to a laundry treating appliance and method for controlling the operation of the laundry treating appliance by determining the surface area of the laundry based on image data of the laundry.

Disclosed are a laundry treatment machine and a method of operating the same. The method of operating the laundry treatment machine that processes laundry via rotation of a wash tub includes accelerating a rotational velocity of the tub during an accelerated rotating section, rotating the tub at a constant velocity during a constant velocity rotating section, and determining an amount of laundry in the tub based on a first output current flowing through a motor that is used to rotate the tub during the accelerated rotating section and a second output current flowing through the motor during the constant velocity rotating section. This ensures efficient sensing of amount of laundry.

A drum washing machine capable of performing washing applicable to various washings is provided. The drum washing machine includes: an outer tank provided in a shell; a drum, which is provided in the outer tank and configured to rotate with a horizontal shaft or an inclination shaft inclining relative to a horizontal direction as a center; a driving part, configured to be operated in a first and second driving form, the first driving form refers to a form in which the drum and a rotating body are enabled to rotate at different rotation speeds, the second driving form refers to a form in which the drum and the rotating body are enabled to rotate integrally at a same rotation speed; a control part, configured to control actions of the driving part.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method of controlling wash timing using an intelligent washer comprises determining to perform a wash, calculating a required time for the wash, predicting a return time of the user, and determining a start time of the wash to terminate the wash corresponding to the return time. According to an embodiment, the washer may be related to artificial intelligence (AI) modules, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robots, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, and 5G service-related devices.

A washing apparatus and control method where the washing apparatus comprises a door configured to open and close the entrance; a tub inside a main body and having an opening corresponding to an entrance to the main body; a diaphragm configured to connect the entrance with the opening; a drum rotatably provided inside the tub; a door washing nozzle provided on the diaphragm to inject washing water to the door. The door washing nozzle is controlled to inject the washing water for a first time in a first section and inject the washing water for a second time in a second section when a washing mode of the diaphragm including the first section at which the drum in a stopped state arrives at a first target rotation speed and the second section at which the drum rotated at the first target rotation speed arrives at a second target rotation speed.

Embodiments of the invention relate to the field of laundry appliances. In an embodiment, a laundry appliance system includes a laundry appliance such as a washing machine that includes an opening for receiving and removing clothes and a door that covers the opening during a washing cycle. The washer is equipped with a receiver comprising a computer, an RF reader, and an antenna positioned near the opening. The antenna, for example, may be positioned on or within the door. The antenna may also be a circular pass through antenna tailored to encircle the opening in a way that permits the door to be closed. RFID tags are provided for affixing to items not intended to be laundered (i.e., run through a washing cycle of washing machine or a drying cycle of a dryer appliance). Such items may include wallets, passports, watches, keys, phones, and other electronic devices or important documents that could be damages or destroyed if passed through a washing cycle. When the RF reader detects an RFID tag that has been affixed to an item not intended to be laundered, the receiver alerts the appliance operator by sound, visual information, or other information that an unintended item has been placed in the laundry appliance.
