A clothes lifting device for a washing machine includes a lifting shell, which is internally provided with an open cavity; a lifting base body, which covers the open end of the shell in a sealing mode to form an accommodating chamber; and an inlet water filtering portion, which is arranged on the shell and/or the base body to communicate with the chamber and is used for filtering inlet water of the chamber, and a centrifugal drainage assembly is arranged in the chamber, an initial state of the drainage assembly is a closed state, and the drainage assembly is opened for drainage under an action of centrifugal force. The accommodating chamber where the centrifugal drainage assembly is located becomes an area independent of the interior of the inner drum, the area is kept in communication with the inner drum through the water inlet filtering portion and can effectively filter thread scraps.

The filtering assemblies can effectively filter thread scraps in water entering from the water inlets, so that the centrifugal drainage assembly is located in an environment without thread scraps or with few thread scraps, the possibility that the thread scraps are attached is fundamentally avoided, and the working reliability of the centrifugal drainage assembly is effectively guaranteed.

Disclosed is a washing machine having a cabinet forming an outer appearance and having an inlet port formed at the front, a tub provided inside the cabinet for storing wash water, a drum provided inside the tub to be rotatable, and a door installed in the cabinet for opening and closing the inlet port. The door is provided with an auxiliary door which can be freely opened and closed during the washing process independently of the door, so that laundry can be added even during the washing process.

A laundry treating apparatus includes: a drum and a lifter that is disposed at an inner circumferential surface of the drum, that revolves, and that includes a frame cover and a lifter frame including (i) a frame base coupled to the inner circumferential surface of the drum and including a seating groove provided along a circumference of the frame base, (ii) a frame upper plate spaced apart from the frame base, and (iii) a frame sidewall connecting the frame upper plate to the frame base. The frame cover includes a cover upper plate and a cover sidewall having a lower end mounted on the seating groove to couple to the frame base and an upper end connected to the cover upper plate. A drain hole is defined at the seating groove and provides fluid communication between an upper surface and a lower surface of the frame base.

A method for drying laundry with a radio frequency (RF) generator connected to an applicator and a rotatable cylindrical drum having a pair of non-anode baffles and a third baffle comprising an anode element positioned between the pair of non-anode baffles and a first cathode element disposed between the third baffle and one of the pair of non-anode baffles and a second cathode disposed between the third baffle and the other of the pair of non-anode baffles. The method comprises rotationally positioning the drum such that laundry is positioned between the anode element within the third baffle and the pair of non-anode baffles, energizing the RF applicator for a time period to generate a field of electromagnetic radiation (e-field) within the radio frequency spectrum between the anode element and the at least one of the first and second cathode elements such that liquid in laundry residing within the e-field will be dielectrically heated to effect a drying of the laundry during the time period, rotating the drum to redistribute laundry, and repeating the positioning the drum and energizing the RF applicator.

A front-load laundry appliance includes a drum that is rotationally operable within a tub about a generally horizontal rotational axis. A plurality of lifters are coupled to an interior surface of the drum. A fluid delivery path is at least partially defined within the drum and the plurality of lifters. A fluid delivery system delivers fluid into the fluid delivery path in a direction parallel to the generally horizontal rotational axis.
