A washing machine including a first tub accommodated in a housing and formed by assembling a first member disposed in the front portion with a second member disposed in the rear portion; a second tub disposed above the first tub, a drum rotatably disposed in the inside of the second tub; and a driving shaft connected to the drum, configured to transfer a driving force to the drum and located further behind than an engaged portion of the first member and the second member of the first tub.

Washing machine

Disclosed herein is a washing machine, which includes a clutch unit provided to be able to selectively transmit power generated from a drive unit to a drum and a pulsator. The clutch unit includes an outer shaft that is connected to the drum at an upper side thereof and rotates the drum, an inner shaft that is located in the outer shaft, is connected to the pulsator at an upper side thereof, and rotates the pulsator, and a one-way bearing that is installed between the inner shaft and the outer shaft. The one-way bearing selectively transmits a rotating force from the outer shaft to the inner shaft according to a rotating direction of the outer shaft. With this configuration, it is possible to simplify a structure of the clutch unit and to use space efficiently.

An electric equipment including a communication unit to communicate with at least one electric equipment in a predetermined space through a network, a sound collection unit to collect sound in the predetermined space, a voice recognition unit to recognize a voice from the collected sound, and a controller to transmit a noise reduction control signal to the at least one electric equipment when the recognized voice is an operation command. Voice recognition is performed in a state in which surrounding noise is reduced, thereby improving performance of the voice recognition and thus improving operational accuracy of an electric equipment. In addition, a voice recognition rate is increased, thereby improving user satisfaction.

Electric equipment and control method thereof

Disclosed herein is an injection apparatus and control method thereof. The apparatus comprises a nozzle to guide a raw material to flow into an injection mold, a microwave transmission part positioned at a portion of the nozzle, and a microwave generation part positioned near the nozzle to generate and irradiate microwaves to the microwave transmission part. With this structure, vulcanization of the raw material injected into the injection mold occurs uniformly and rapidly within the injection mold, thereby improving a quality of an injection molded product while increasing a speed of injection operation.
