Laundry machine having induction heater and control method thereof
Disclosed herein is a laundry machine. More particularly, a laundry machine for generating steam by an induction heater and a control method thereof are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, provided is a method of controlling a laundry machine including a tub, a drum rotatably arranged in the tub to accommodate an object and provided with a through hole on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and an induction heater provided to the tub, and configured to perform a steam operation. The steam operation may include heating a heating surface of the drum facing the induction heater by driving the induction heater, spraying, through a spray nozzle, water toward the heating surface heated in the heating operation, and rotating the drum such that the steam is introduced into the drum through the through hole in a space between the tub and the drum.
Drive unit of a laundry machine and laundry machine having the same, and a controlling method of the laundry machine
The present disclosure relates to a twin laundry machine, more particularly, to a twin laundry machine configured to control mutual motor operations of one or more laundry machines provided therein not to be overlapped with each other, in case the one or more laundry machines are put into operation to perform washing. The present disclosure also relates to a twin laundry machine of which a motor for driving a drum has an improved heat radiation function, more particularly, to a twin laundry machine which includes a sub-washing machine with a smaller size than a normal washing machine and frequent exposure to high temperature usage environments.
Washing machine
Disclosed herein are a washing machine comprising, a first tub, a second tub disposed above the first tub, a first housing configured to cover the first tub, a second housing disposed on the first housing, and configured to cover the second tub, and a first coupling portion protruding from the second tub toward the second housing, and configured to fix the second tub on the second housing.
PEDESTAL ASSEMBLIES FOR LAUNDRY APPLIANCES
A bracket assembly for aligning and securing an appliance with a pedestal may include a pair of appliance brackets are arranged at opposite sides on the underside of the appliance and extend from one edge of the appliance to another. The appliance bracket defines at least one opening configured to receive a shaft of the foot of the appliance and includes a lip extending downward and away from the appliance at the ends of the brackets to engage with a drip tray arranged on the pedestal.
Laundry machine having induction heater and control method thereof
Disclosed herein is a laundry machine. More particularly, a laundry machine for generating steam by an induction heater and a control method thereof are disclosed. The laundry machine may include a tub, a drum rotatably arranged in the tub to accommodate an object and provided with a through hole on an outer circumferential surface thereof, a steam induction heater provided at a front upper portion of a front wall or a rear upper portion of a rear wall of the tub to heat a heating surface of the drum facing the steam induction heater, a motor driven to rotate the drum, a spray nozzle configured to spray water onto the heating surface facing the steam induction heater to generate steam, and a processor configured to rotate the drum to introduce the steam into the drum through the through hole in a space between the tub and the drum.
MOVEABLE LAUNDRY TREATMENT APPARATUS
A laundry treatment apparatus including a plurality of swivel casters. Two of the swivel casters are braked swivel casters. One of the swivel casters other than the braked swivel casters is a vertically adjustable swivel caster. The braked swivel casters restrain translational movement of the laundry treatment apparatus across a floor. The vertically adjustable swivel caster can help fix the position of the laundry treatment apparatus so as to restrain rocking and twisting of the laundry treatment apparatus.
Washing appliance having a recirculation circuit
A method of treating at least one of laundry or dishes in a treating chamber of an appliance comprising, recirculating liquid through the treating chamber, centrifugally removing particles greater than a predetermined size from the liquid during recirculation of the liquid, and coagulating particles greater than the predetermined size in the liquid during recirculation of the liquid.
ATOMISING GENERATOR, CLOTHING TREATMENT DEVICE, AND CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR
An atomizing generator, a clothing treatment device, and a control method therefor to solve the problems of the structural complexity and poor liquid level measurement accuracy of existing atomizing generators. The atomizing generator includes an outer shell and an atomizing module, an atomization cavity capable of accommodating liquid being disposed in the outer shell, and a liquid inlet, an air inlet, and a mist outlet in communication with the atomization cavity being arranged on the outer shell, the atomizing module including an ultrasonic atomizing sheet, and the atomizing module being arranged to be capable of atomizing the liquid in the atomization cavity by vibration of the ultrasonic atomizing sheet and detecting the height of the liquid level in the atomization cavity by the vibration, which simplifies the structure of the atomizing generator and increases the precision and accuracy of liquid level measurement.
Sanitizing Steamer
A steamer with sanitization means having a steam unit, a sanitization unit, and a shroud. The steam unit includes a reservoir, a handle, and a nozzle, wherein the nozzle is in fluid communication with the nozzle. The sanitization unit includes a light assembly and an actuation mechanism. The light assembly is configured to emit sterilizing wavelengths of light, such as ultraviolet light, and is operably coupled to the actuation mechanism, such that when the actuation mechanism is triggered, the light assembly is switched from an off state to an on state. The light assembly is integrated about the nozzle in order to emit light as steam is dispensed from the nozzle. The shroud is removably attached to the nozzle and positioned about the light assembly, such that the light is concentrated to the area of the shroud. The shroud may also be collapsible to enhance portability.
Laundry treatment apparatus
A laundry treatment apparatus includes a tub body for receiving water, a tub cover that covers an upper surface of the tub body and that defines an introduction aperture, a drum located inside the tub body for receiving laundry, a door for opening and closing the introduction aperture, a hinge that rotatably couples the door to the tub cover, a fixing unit that releasably couples a portion of the door to the tub cover, and a sealing unit on the door or the introduction aperture that is configured to seal the introduction aperture based on the introduction aperture being closed by the door. A portion of the sealing unit located in a direction in which the fixing unit is provided has a different diameter from a diameter of a portion of the sealing unit that is located in a direction in which the hinge is provided.
