A washing machine includes: a casing, a tub, a drum, a cylindrical gasket connecting an input port of the casing to an opening of the tub, a pump configured to circulate water discharged from the tub; a guide pipe fixed to the gasket configured to guide water supplied from the pump, and nozzles configured to spray water from the guide pipe into the drum. The nozzles include an upper nozzle configured to spray water downward, intermediate nozzles disposed below the upper nozzle in both left and right sides and configured to spray water downward while spraying water deeper into the drum than the upper nozzle, and lower nozzles disposed above the inflow port, disposed below the intermediate nozzles in both left and right sides based on the inflow port and configured to spray water upward.

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.

A washing machine includes a gasket that includes a plurality of nozzles and a plurality of port receiving pipes communicating with the plurality of nozzles, respectively, and a distribution pipe that includes a transport conduit and a plurality of outlet ports protruding from the transport conduit toward the gasket body. The transport conduit includes a first portion spaced apart from an outer circumferential surface of the gasket body. Among the plurality of outlet ports, a first lower outlet port protrudes from the first portion, and the first lower outlet port and the first lower port receiving pipe are coupled to each other in a space where the first portion of the transport conduit and the outer circumferential surface of the gasket body are spaced apart, so that the gasket and the distribution pipe are connected tightly.

A gasket usable with a washing machine capable of reinforcing the strength thereof while improving the vibration reducing performance of the gasket, a gasket connecting a tub to the front surface frame, wherein the gasket includes a body having a hollowness part configured to accommodate a portion of the door and a periphery part configured to surround the hollowness part, and a reinforcing rib formed by protruding at least one portion of the periphery part so as to reinforce a strength of the gasket, and wherein the reinforcing rib has a rear surface further concaved than an inner surface of the periphery part that is adjacent to the rear surface. The gasket further comprise a connection lip that contacts the closed door, such that the connection lip has a connection rib having a greater thickness in the lower portion of the lip than the upper portion of the lip.

The present disclosure provides a washing machine and a manufacturing method of a circulating water supply pipe. The washing machine includes a casing having a front surface on which a laundry inlet is formed, a tub which is disposed in the casing and has an opening at a front surface thereof, a drum which is rotatably provided in the tub, a pump which pressure-feeds water discharged from the tub, a gasket which forms a passage connecting the laundry inlet and the opening to each other, a plurality of nozzles which is provided on an inner peripheral surface defining the passage of the gasket and injects the water pressure-fed by the pump into the drum, and a circulating water supply pipe which is disposed on an outer peripheral surface of the gasket opposite to the inner peripheral surface and guides the water pressure-fed by the pump to the plurality of nozzles.

A drum washing machine is provided with a double spraying system used for washing the window and the window gasket ring respectively. A first spraying nozzle is connected with the inlet solenoid valve of the washing machine to wash the outer surface of the watching window and the window gasket ring, and a second spraying nozzle to wash the folded inner wall of the window gasket ring. The spraying nozzles are connected to the solenoid valve through a three-way pipe, or connected to the solenoid valve of the washing machine through respective pipes. The double spraying system intakes water and soaks the clothes in the washing process, and/or intakes water and sprays the watching window and the window gasket ring simultaneously, and/or sprays the watching window and the window gasket ring when dehydrating the clothes in the dehydrating process.

Disclosed is a washing machine from which a diaphragm is removed. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a front panel configured to form an appearance of a front surface of the cabinet, a tub disposed in the cabinet to contain wash water, a tub seal installed to prevent leakage of the wash water contained in the tub, and a decorative panel fixed to the front panel to prevent exposure of the tub seal through the front surface of the cabinet. The washing machine may have an attractive appearance appealing to a user by mounting the decorative panel to prevent exposure of a sealing structure through the front surface thereof.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a first nozzle water supply conduit which is disposed, on the gasket, in the one side with respect to the vertical line and guides water discharged through the first circulation port to the pair of first nozzles; and a second nozzle water supply conduit which is disposed, on the gasket, in the other side with respect to the vertical line and guides water discharged through the second circulation port to the pair of second nozzles.

A laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining an aperture in a front surface thereof. A drum is disposed within the cabinet. The drum defines an access opening that aligns with the aperture. A door is coupled to the cabinet and is operable between closed and opened positions relative to the aperture. A bellows extends along a perimeter of the aperture and proximate the access opening. A deflector extends along at least a portion of the perimeter of the aperture. The deflector extends into an interior of the drum over the bellows.

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.
