ADDITIVE DISPENSING SYSTEM FOR A WASHING MACHINE APPLIANCE

A washing machine appliance defines a mutually perpendicular vertical direction, lateral direction, and transverse direction. The washing machine appliance includes a cabinet having an opening defined in and through a top cover thereof. A wash tub is mounted within the cabinet and a wash basket is mounted rotatably within the wash tub. The wash basket is accessible through the opening in the top cover. A dispensing assembly includes a dispenser box mounted above the wash tub, a shower plate positioned within the dispenser box and defining a plurality of water supply apertures, lateral suspension arms that extend downward from the shower plate along a vertical direction, and a detergent drawer defining one or more detergent reservoirs, the detergent drawer being directly supported by the lateral suspension arms.

CLOTHES LIFTING DEVICE FOR WASHING MACHINE, AND DRUM WASHING MACHINE

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.

CLOTHES LIFTING DEVICE FOR WASHING MACHINE, AND DRUM WASHING MACHINE

A clothes lifting device for a washing machine includes a body, which is internally provided with an accommodating chamber; water inlets, which are arranged in the body and communicate with the chamber; a centrifugal drainage assembly, which is arranged in the chamber, wherein the initial state of the centrifugal drainage assembly is a closed state, and the centrifugal drainage assembly is opened for drainage under the action of centrifugal force; and filtering assemblies, which are arranged on the water inlets of the body and are used for filtering water entering the chamber. 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.

Washing machine, and method for controlling the same

A method of controlling a washing machine that includes a drum rotatably provided in a tub that receives water, at least one nozzle spraying water into the drum, a washing motor rotating the drum, and a circulation pump circulating water within the washing machine, the method including: controlling a rotation of the drum by operating the washing motor to rotate the drum at a first rotation speed in a first rotation direction, and to maintain a rotation of the drum at the first rotation speed in the first rotation direction so that laundry in the drum maintains contact with an inner circumferential surface of the drum; and controlling a pump speed of the circulation pump by operating a circulation pump motor in the circulation pump to accelerate and decelerate at least once while the washing motor rotates the drum at the first rotation speed in the first rotation direction.

Fault detection for a water level detection system of a washing machine appliance

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.

Laundry treating apparatus

The present disclosure relates to a laundry processing apparatus and, particularly, to a laundry processing apparatus which improves the condensation performance by increasing a contact time and area of cooling water and humid air in a tub. An embodiment of the present disclosure can provide a laundry processing apparatus comprising: a tub in which wash water is stored; a nozzle installed on the upper side of a side part of the tub so as to allow moisture contained in the air staying in the tub to condense, and supplying cooling water; and a guide installed on a rear side surface of the tub to be disposed below the nozzle, and allowing the cooling water supplied from the nozzle to be dispersed in multiple directions and flow downward.

Laundry treating appliance detergent dispenser

A clothes washing machine includes a cabinet defining an interior and having a top wall with a dispenser opening, and a water inlet box located within the interior and having a storage cartridge chamber accessible through the dispenser opening. The storage cartridge can be removably mountable within the storage cartridge chamber through the dispenser opening.

Washing machine having circulation nozzles

A washing machine includes a casing having an input port which is formed in a front surface thereof and to which laundry is inputted; a tub which is disposed in the casing to contain fluid, and has an opening communicating with the input port; a drum which is rotatably disposed in the tub, and contains the laundry; a pump which pumps water discharged from the tub; a circulation conduit which guides the water pumped by the pump; an annular gasket which forms a channel connecting the input port and the opening of the tub, and has a plurality of nozzles for spraying water into the drum on an inner circumferential surface defining the channel; and a nozzle water supply conduit which is fixed to the gasket, and supplies the water pumped by the pump to the plurality of nozzles.

REDUCTION CLUTCH CAPABLE OF POSITIONING INNER TUB AND WASHING MACHINE

A reduction clutch for positioning an inner tub has an input shaft connected to an output shaft. An input shaft sleeve is connected to an output shaft sleeve. A clutch shaft sleeve slides axially downward to connect to a driving device and slides upward to connect to a fixed disk at one position in the circumferential direction. The positioning of the input shaft sleeve, the output shaft sleeve and an inner tub in the circumferential direction is achieved by the connecting position. A first water drainage hole is arranged at the bottom of the inner tub. An included angle between a protrusion on the upper portion of the clutch shaft sleeve and the first water drainage hole of the inner tub is equal to an included angle between a recess on the fixed disk fitting with the protrusion and the water drainage control mechanism on the outer tub.

NOISE LEAKAGE PREVENTING APPARATUS AND CLOTHES TREATING APPARATUS HAVING THE SAME
20180010278 · 2018-01-11 ·

A noise leakage preventing device for a clothes treating apparatus is provided. The device may include a base located at a lower portion of a cabinet and forming a bottom surface of the clothes treating apparatus, and a noise blocking rim attached along a periphery of a lower surface of the base and located between the base and the ground. The noise blocking rim may prevent noise generated from the clothes treating apparatus from being transferred or emitted out the base.
