A laundry processing apparatus includes a filter assembly that is detachably supported by a filter holder positioned between a processing module and a guide duct, and an inner filter and an outer filter that are overlappingly assembled with each other, and removes debris contained in circulated air and then supplies the circulated air into the guide duct. The filter holder is assembled with a sealing member, and the sealing member is provided to cover at least a part of an outer surface of the outer filter to seal a gap between the outer filter and the filter holder, and a part of the sealing member protrudes toward the inner filter to seal a gap between the inner filter and the outer filter.

The present disclosure relates to a laundry treating apparatus that is provided to supply steam into a drum accommodating laundry therein and to supply hot water or the steam to a region outside the drum to also sterilize the region outside the drum, and a method for controlling the same.

A clothes dryer includes a drum configured to accommodate an object to be dried; a first sensor configured to sense a dry state of the object to be dried accommodated in the drum; a heating unit configured to heat air supplied into the drum; a blower including a fan configured to generate a flow of the air passing through the inside of the drum; a second sensor configured to sense a temperature of the air discharged from the drum; and a processor configured to control a rotation speed of the drum, a temperature of the air discharged from the drum, and a rotation speed of the fan.

A laundry treatment device includes a wireless communication unit, at least one sensor, and a processor configured to apply a learning model learned through a supervised learning algorithm to sensing information including a sensing value collected from the at least one sensor and a measurement time of the sensing value, to acquire microorganism information including a type of microorganism and a proliferation rate of the microorganism, to acquire laundry guide information based on the acquired microorganism information, and to transmit the acquired laundry guide information to a terminal through the wireless communication unit.

An air filtration system for a laundry apparatus comprises an air-lint inlet forming an interior volume configured to fluidically couple to a tumbler of the laundry apparatus and extending to an end portion. The system further comprises a lint-collection reservoir coupled to the air-lint inlet configured to hold a liquid at a level, wherein the air-lint inlet extends into the lint-collection reservoir. The system further comprises an outlet conduit in fluid connection with the air-lint collection reservoir. The outlet conduit is configured to expel filter air from the air-lint collection reservoir.

A laundry appliance includes a rotating drum and a door providing access to the rotating drum. A blower directs process air through an air path that includes the drum. A heat exchanger within the air path dehumidifies the process air. A first lint filter within the air path is forward of the drum and below the door. A second lint filter within the air path is downstream of the first lint filter and forward of the heat exchanger. The first and second lint filters capture lint from the process air upstream of the heat exchanger. The first lint filter is angled with respect to the second lint filter. A filter spray system has a plurality of fluid sprayers that deliver fluid to the first and second lint filters, respectively. Each fluid sprayer directs captured lint from the first and second lint filters to a common drain channel.

The present disclosure provides a method of controlling a laundry treating apparatus including a tub in which a drum accommodating clothing is rotatably disposed, a heat exchanger configured to perform heat exchange between air discharged from the tub and a refrigerant in a circulation flow path through which the air circulates, a filter configured to filter the air, a first cleaning mechanism configured to apply cleaning water to any one of the filter and the heat exchanger, and a second cleaning mechanism configured to apply the cleaning water to the other of the filter and the heat exchanger. The method includes measuring a flow rate while supplying water into the tub, and controlling, based on the flow rate, a first flow path control valve for regulating water supply to the first cleaning mechanism and a second flow path control valve for regulating water supply to the second cleaning mechanism.

A fluid delivery system for a laundry appliance includes a blower that delivers process air along an airflow path. A drum receives process air to dry laundry. A heat exchanger dehumidifies the process air and removes condensate therefrom. A drain channel receives condensate from the heat exchanger. A pump directs fluid from the drain channel and along a fluid path. The fluid at least partially includes the condensate. A fluid diverter valve receives the fluid from the pump and selectively and delivers the fluid sequentially to a plurality of spray nozzles that direct a flow of the fluid onto a lint filter and toward the drain channel and a fluid outlet.

A laundry appliance includes a rotating drum for processing laundry. A blower directs process air through an airflow path that includes the rotating drum. A heat exchanger is positioned within the airflow path that dehumidifies the process air. A fixedly-secured lint filter captures lint from the process air at a position upstream of the heat exchanger. A fluid spray system has spray nozzles that deliver fluid to a surface of the fixedly-secured lint filter. Each spray nozzle of the plurality of spray nozzles directs captured lint away from the fixedly-secured lint filter.
