A laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to an automatic cycle of operation includes a cabinet defining a cabinet interior. A drum is rotatable within the cabinet interior, and at least partially defines a treating chamber. The treating chamber has a treating chamber air inlet and a treating chamber air outlet. A drying air circuit is fluidly coupled to the treating chamber air inlet and to the treating chamber air outlet. The laundry treating appliance can include first and second air temperature sensors, at least a first humidity sensor, and a controller operably coupled with the sensors.

A laundry appliance includes a drum that is rotatably mounted within a cabinet and defines a chamber for receiving articles of clothing. Primary and ambient air duct systems provide fluid communication between a conditioning system and at least one of the chamber of the drum and an ambient environment, respectively. A blower fan urges air through the conditioning system and a damper system is operably coupled to the ambient air duct system for selectively regulating a flow of ambient air. A controller is configured to receive a command to initiate a dehumidification cycle, operate the conditioning system and the blower, and regulate the damper system to permit the flow of ambient air to pass through conditioning system and through the ambient air duct system, thereby dehumidifying the ambient environment.

A clothes care apparatus includes a chamber, a first damper, a second damper, a heat exchanger, at least one blower fan, a sensor portion, and a controller. The first damper is configured to control an airflow from inside the chamber to outside the chamber. The second damper is configured to control the airflow into the chamber from the outside. The heat exchanger is provided with a compressor and configured to exchange heat with air in the chamber. The at least one blower fan is configured to generate the airflow. The sensor portion is configured to obtain a temperature and humidity inside and outside of the chamber. The controller is configured to start a drying cycle, control the first and second damper to be opened or closed, and control the heat exchanger and the at least one blower fan by comparing the internal humidity with the external humidity.

The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence (AI) dryer. The AI dryer according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a casing; a washing tub disposed in the casing; a motor configured to rotate the washing tub; a driver configured to drive the motor and including an output current detector for detecting an output current flowing through the motor; a heat supplier configured to supply heat to the washing tub; and a controller configured to control the driver, wherein the controller performs learning using DNN based on the output current detected by the output current detector, determines a load of laundry in the washing tub by the learning, and determines operation course information based on information of load of the laundry, thereby providing optimal operation course information corresponding to the information of load of the laundry.

A drum is rotatable within the cabinet interior, and at least partially defines a treating chamber. The treating chamber has a treating chamber air inlet and a treating chamber air outlet. A drying air circuit is fluidly coupled to the treating chamber air inlet and to the treating chamber air outlet. The laundry treating appliance can include first and second air temperature sensors, at least a first humidity sensor, and a controller operably coupled with the sensors.

The present invention relates to a flexible waterproofing/impregnation and drying de-vice and a method of drying items that have undergone a solvent-based or water-based waterproofing/impregnation process. The flexible waterproofing/impregnation and dry-ing device is configured with inlets for waterproofing/impregnation fluid for water-proofing/impregnating items and one or more heat generating units for effective drying of items, said items being for example clothes, shoes, bags, purses, blankets and garments.

A clothes treating apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a hanger on which clothes are hung and a blower unit having an air vent for blowing wind toward the clothes hung on the hanger. The hanger includes a supporter connected to the air vent of the blower unit, wherein a wind receiving space is formed inside the supporter, and a shoulder supporter extending from the supporter and forming a wind discharging space connected to the wind receiving space, wherein shoulder portions of the clothes are hung on the shoulder supporter. The wind discharging space includes a body wind path formed to blow wind toward a body portion of the clothes, and sleeve wind paths formed to blow wind toward sleeves of the clothes and diverging at an entrance of the body wind path. The body wind path includes an enlarged wind path portion which is formed at an exit of the body wind path and of which a wind path is enlarged downstream.

An electronic device for controlling a flow path according to deodorization, dehumidification, or sterilization of clothes or shoes by applying a separated chamber structure, and an operation method thereof. The electronic device may control an internal damper so that in a deodorization mode, the internal damper operates in a first state to form independent flow paths in an upper chamber and a lower chamber and, in a dehumidification mode, the internal damper operates in a second state for a preset time to form a single flow path in the upper chamber and the lower chamber and, after the preset time elapses, operate in the first state to form independent flow paths in the upper chamber and the lower chamber.

A method of operating a laundry treating appliance for treating laundry according to a treating cycle of operation. The laundry treating appliance comprises a treating chamber for receiving the laundry that is selectively accessible through a door movable between opened and closed positions. The method comprises determining at the end of a laundry treating cycle whether the door has been opened and subsequently reclosed and reducing humidity in the treating chamber after the determination that the door has been reclosed.

A control method for a clothing treatment apparatus. The clothing treatment apparatus includes an air washing device for performing air washing on clothing. The control method includes: obtaining the material of clothing; obtaining the type of a clothing detergent; obtaining the type of a stain on the clothing; and determining a parametric range of air washing according to the material of the clothing, the type of the clothing detergent, and the type of the stain on the clothing. The embodiments allow clothing to be subjected to air washing treatment within an optical parametric range, i.e., a detergent can exert an activation function to the greatest extent, and also allows a stain to be removed and cleaned within the most suitable parametric range to improve the clothing decontamination capability, thereby improving a clothing treatment effect and improving user experience.
