A laundry treatment device includes a washing module configured to perform operation related to washing, a camera configured to capture an image of a tag attached to a laundry, and a processor configured to acquire laundry information of a plurality of laundries, to convert the acquired laundry information into encoding data, and to acquire values of laundry control variables corresponding to the converted encoding data based on a laundry course learning model learned using a plurality of reference data through a deep learning algorithm.

A washing machine appliance includes a sump for collecting wash fluid, a water supply valve for supplying the wash fluid during a fill cycle, and a water level detection system including a pressure sensor for measuring sump pressures/fill levels. A controller is configured for operating the supply valve to fill the sump until a target volume is reached and obtaining a fill volume using the water level detection system. The controller determines that a fault condition exists based on a difference between the target volume and the fill volume, e.g., such as when the difference exceeds a predetermined fault threshold, and initiates a fault abatement process in response to determining that the fault condition exists.

A clothes treating apparatus including: a cabinet; a tub provided in the cabinet and configured to collect wash water; a circulation device configured to circulate the wash water contained in the tub and including a circulation pump, a first circulation path to guide the wash water from the tub to the circulation pump, and a second circulation path to guide the wash water from the circulation pump to the tub so that the wash water circulates by flowing from the tub to the circulation pump through the first circulation path and flowing back to the tub from the circulation pump through the second circulation pat; and a detergent supply device configured to supply a detergent to the circulation device and including a detergent case, and a detergent pump connected to the detergent case and mounted on the first circulation path to supply the stored detergent through the first circulation path.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance with a treating chamber for treating a load of laundry the method comprising supplying a rinse to the treating chamber during a rinse cycle, rotating the treating chamber at a tumbling speed, spinning the treating chamber in an extraction cycle to remove excess moisture from the load of laundry, sensing a parameter indicative of a remaining moisture content value in the load of laundry, comparing the remaining moisture content value to a pre-determined remaining moisture content value.

The present disclosure relates to an integrated washing-drying machine and a method of controlling the same, the integrated washing-drying machine including a housing, a drying drum disposed at an upper side in the housing and configured to accommodate and dry laundry, a washing drum disposed at a lower side in the housing and configured to accommodate and wash laundry, a heat pump having an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser and produce hot air for drying laundry and supply the hot air to the drying drum, and a cleaning means configured to clean the condenser by spraying cleaning water to the condenser. In this case, the cleaning means uses, as the cleaning water, at least any one of condensate water produced in the evaporator and washing water to be supplied to the washing drum. With this configuration, when the amount of condensate water is insufficient, the washing water is additionally supplied to clean the condenser cleanly.

A water reuse system and controller for controlling water levels, temperature, and quality in the rinse water reuse system and methods of using the same, in order to optimize water usage. More particularly, the application pertains to a controller and methods of using the controller to regulate water levels and water quality in a water reuse system. As part of detailing the controller and methods of using the same, an apparatus for a water reuse system is also provided.

Methods and systems for treating laundry appliances with disinfecting spray are provided. The laundry appliance includes a cabinet defining an opening and a laundry vessel mounted within the cabinet. The laundry vessel defines a treatment chamber. The laundry appliance also includes a spray nozzle positioned and operable to direct a spray of sanitizing agent into the treatment chamber. The laundry appliance may be treated by closing a water valve upstream of the treatment chamber, and, while the water valve is closed, activating a pump to pump the sanitizing agent from a tank to the spray nozzle. Thus, the spray of sanitizing agent is directed into the treatment chamber by and from the spray nozzle.

The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling a garment processing device, the method comprising: a foreign-material separating step of rotating a drum rotatably provided inside a tub that stores water such that friction occurs between garments inside the drum and the water; a drain step of discharging the water inside the tub to the outside of the tub; a first maintenance step of maintaining the rate of rotation of the drum, after same has reached a preconfigured first rate, at the first rate; a first measurement step of measuring the degree of imbalance occurring in the drum while the drum rotates at the first rate; a second maintenance step of increasing the rate of rotation of the drum to a predetermined second rate, if a first measured value measured in the first measurement step is equal to/below a preconfigured first reference value, and then maintaining same at the second rate; a second measurement step of measuring the degree of imbalance occurring in the drum while the drum rotates at the second rate; stopping the drum from rotating if a second measured value measured in the second measurement step is equal to/below a preconfigured second reference value; and a dewatering step of accelerating the drum to a third rate configured to be higher than the second rate, thereby removing water from the garments. The dewatering step is stopped if the degree of imbalance of the drum measured during the drum is accelerated to the third rate is larger than a predetermined imbalance reference value, and the imbalance reference value is configured on the basis of the second measured value.

A water reuse system and controller for controlling water levels, temperature, and quality in the rinse water reuse system and methods of using the same, in order to optimize water usage. More particularly, the application pertains to a controller and methods of using the controller to regulate water levels and water quality in a water reuse system. As part of detailing the controller and methods of using the same, an apparatus for a water reuse system is also provided.

Described and illustrated is a washing machine for washing textiles, including a tub for receiving a washing liquid, a laundry drum inserted at least partially into the tub, a drive for rotating the laundry drum in the tub and a discharge line connected to the tub for discharging washing liquid from the tub. In order to be able to separate the microplastic fibres more easily, cost-effectively and reliably from the washing water or another washing liquid, it is provided that an intermediate storage device is provided for temporarily storing washing liquid discharged via the discharge line, a centrifuge unit rotated by the drive together with the laundry drum for separating microplastic fibres and a return line for transferring the washing liquid from the intermediate storage device into the centrifuge unit.
