A method of the present disclosure includes a first operation of supplying hot air to laundry until the dryness of the laundry has reached a predetermined standard dryness, and a second operation of alternately performing a moisture supply operation of supplying moisture to the laundry and a hot air supply operation of supplying hot air to the laundry.

A steam generator includes a generator body including an inlet through which fluid is introduced and or outlet through which the fluid is discharged, a first flow channel providing a flowing path for the fluid is introduced into the generator body through the inlet, a second flow channel to guide the fluid from the first flow path to the outlet, and a heater to heat the generator body, the heat of the generator body being exchanged with the fluid guided through the first and second flow channels, and greater amount of heat being provided at the first flow channel than the second flow channel.

The present invention relates to a clothing processing device which, when using artificial intelligence or an algorithm provided by artificial intelligence, can cause a user to visually recognize same, and an online system comprising same.

A method is provided for operating a clothes drying appliance, wherein a moisture content of clothes is determined by measuring a current running through the clothes and wherein the determining takes into account a salt content of the moisture. The clothes drying appliance is adapted to perform the method.

A kiosk for steaming and pressing a garment includes: a chamber; a hanger arranged within the chamber and configured to receive a garment; a first steam nozzle arranged below the hanger and configured to expel a first steam jet toward an interior surface of the garment. The kiosk further includes a wand configured for manual manipulation over select regions of the garment to remove wrinkles from select regions of the garment and including: a head configured to mate with a mount arranged inside the chamber; a second steam nozzle arranged on the head and configured to expel a second steam jet of pressurized steam; and a steam supply line configured to deliver steam from a steam generator to the second steam nozzle and defining a length to enable the head to extend within the chamber.

A laundry processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a drum rotatably disposed in a main body, a drive motor configured to provide rotational power to the drum, a lifter mounted on an inner circumferential surface of the drum, a dryness level sensing device provided in the lifter, a wireless power receiver electrically connected to the dryness level sensing device and provided in the lifter, a wireless power transmitter disposed between the main body and the drum to correspond to the wireless power receiver, and a controller configured to receive a sensing result from the dryness level sensing device and calculate a dryness level based on the received sensing result.

Dryer appliances and methods are provided. A method includes receiving during rotation of a drum of the dryer appliance a voltage signal which corresponds to a moisture level within a chamber of the drum, and determining whether the voltage signal corresponds to a predetermined drying profile of a plurality of predetermined drying profiles. The method further includes applying a drying sequence which corresponds to one of the plurality of predetermined drying profiles when the voltage signal corresponds to the one of the plurality of predetermined drying profiles. The method further includes determining whether the voltage signal corresponds to a wet patch indicator, and reversing a direction of rotation of the drum when the voltage signal corresponds to the wet patch indicator.

The present invention relates to a clothing treating apparatus which provides various optimized drum motion combinations capable of preventing damage to or shrinking of clothing in each of a preheating section, a constant rate drying section, a reduced rate drying section, and a cooling section.

A control method for a clothes drying apparatus that aims to solve the problem of a load being prone to entangling when an existing clothes drying apparatus is used for drying a large load. For this purpose, the control method for a clothes drying apparatus includes: determining the size of a load in a load determining stage; and when the load is a large load, controlling a drying drum to rotate unidirectionally in a first heating stage, and controlling the drying drum to alternately rotate normally and reversely in a second heating stage. Accordingly, a drying effect can be guaranteed while the load is effectively prevented from being knotted and entangled, and the drying time is shortened.

A radio frequency (RF) drying device is provided. The RF drying device includes a drying chamber including a grounded body enclosing a plurality of N (N3) electrodes for generating radio frequency field, and a drum electrically insulated from the plurality of electrodes, and a processor configured to select and activate M (<N) electrodes among the plurality of N electrodes and deactivate one or more remaining (NM) electrodes periodically and to to select M(<N) electrodes for being activated to generate AC signals and deactivate NM electrodes for being inactivated not to generate AC signals in an active mode, and RF field is formed inside the drying chamber based on the generated AC signals.
