An air-quality detection apparatus is disclosed. The air-quality detection apparatus includes a casing body including a bottom and a side wall extending upwards from the circumference of the bottom, a first printed circuit board (PCB) disposed horizontally above the bottom, a temperature/humidity sensor mounted on the bottom surface of the first PCB, a second PCB disposed horizontally above the first PCB, and a COsensor mounted on the second PCB.

Air-quality detection apparatus

A laundry treatment apparatus that includes a cabinet having an opening; a drawer dischargeable from the cabinet through the opening; a receiving unit provided in the drawer for receiving water and laundry; a drain pump for discharging water from the receiving unit; a drain channel extending through a reference point set to be higher than a highest level of water that can be stored in the receiving unit, the drain channel being located outside the cabinet; and a connection channel located in the cabinet for connecting the drain pump and the drain channel to each other, wherein at least a portion of the drain pump is located lower than a bottom surface of the receiving unit is disclosed.

Laundry treatment apparatus

Disclosed is an air-quality detection apparatus including a casing body including a bottom and a side wall, a first printed circuit board (PCB) disposed horizontally above the bottom, a second PCB disposed horizontally in a first region above the first PCB, a COsensor mounted on the second PCB, a volatile organic compound (VOC) sensor mounted in a second region on the first PCB that is closer to the side wall than the first region, a third PCB, which is disposed horizontally at a position spaced further upwards apart from the bottom than the first PCB and at least a portion of which is disposed in a third region that does not overlap the first PCB when the bottom is viewed from above, a fourth PCB disposed horizontally above the second PCB and the third PCB, and a dust sensor mounted on the fourth PCB.

A control method of a laundry treatment apparatus is disclosed. The control method includes supplying electric power to a first load unit to execute a first cycle set in a first treatment device (a first step), supplying electric power to a second load unit to execute a second cycle set in a second treatment device (a second step), when an amount of current per unit time that is supplied to the laundry treatment apparatus is equal to or greater than a predetermined reference current amount, terminating the second step and executing a third cycle set in the second treatment device so as to consume a lower amount of current than an amount of current per unit time necessary to execute the second cycle (a third step), terminating the first cycle of the first treatment device (a fourth step), and executing the second cycle of the second treatment device after completing the fourth step (a fifth step).

Control method of laundry treatment apparatus

A laundry treatment apparatus includes a tub configured to receive washing water, a drum rotatably disposed in the tub, a water supply unit configured to supply washing water to the tub, and a water discharge unit configured to discharge washing water from the tub. The water supply unit is in fluidic communication with the water discharge unit.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a tub that is located in the cabinet and that is configured to receive washing water. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a drum that is configured to rotate, that is located in the tub, and that is configured to receive laundry. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a drainage pump that is configured to pump washing water out of the tub. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a connection passage that is configured to guide washing water that is pumped out of the tub by the drainage pump. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a connector that is connected to the connection passage and that is configured to guide washing water out of the cabinet. The connector includes a connector inlet port and a connector outlet port.
