A fermentation and aging apparatus may include a fermentation tank, into which a fermentation container may be put, an object to be fermented being accommodated in the fermentation container, a first channel connected with the fermentation tank and opened and closed by a first valve, a second channel connected with the fermentation tank and opened and closed by a second valve, a pressure sensor provided in the first channel, an air pump configured to supply air to the fermentation tank, and a controller configured to close the first valve and the second valve based on a beverage making start request, drive the air pump, and detect whether the fermentation container is put into the fermentation tank, based on a pressure measured by the pressure sensor.

Fermentation and aging apparatus

A water dispensing apparatus includes a hot water module configured to heat supplied water using an induction heating method, a water supply pipe configured to supply water to the hot water module, a flow rate control valve provided on the water supply pipe to control a flow rate of water supplied to the hot water module, a flow rate sensing device provided on the water supply pipe to sense the flow rate of water supplied to the hot water module, and a controller configured to increase an opening speed of the flow rate control valve when the flow rate of supplied water sensed through the flow rate sensing device is equal to or less than a set flow rate.

Liquid dispensing apparatus and method of controlling the same

The present invention relates to a laundry machine for treating laundry. One embodied laundry machine may have an opening in the rear of the tub. A flexible material is connected between the drive assembly and the rear opening of the tub for sealing therebetween. The flexible material allows the drive assembly to move or vibrate relatively to the tub. The flexible material may be referred to as a flexible sealer.

Laundry machine having a flexible sealer

A laundry machine is disclosed. The bearing housing and the suspensions may be distant from each other with respect to a radial direction as well as an axial direction of the shaft. As a result, the suspension unit may include a radial bracket extended radially or axial bracket extended axially.

Laundry machine

A laundry machine is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a tub configured to receive wash water, a drum rotatably installed in the tub, a shaft connected with the drum, a bearing housing () configured to support the shaft, a tub back () coupled to inner and outer circumferences of a front surface of the bearing housing (), a rear gasket connected between the tub back () and the tub and a suspension unit configured to support vibration of the drum suspendingly.

A laundry machine for treating laundry is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a front gasket having a structure capable of effectively preventing leakage of wash water or effectively preventing laundry or foreign matter from being introduced between a tub and a drum.

A laundry machine is disclosed. A laundry machine includes a tub () to hold water therein, a drum () provided in the tub (), a shaft () connected to the drum (), passing the tub (), a bearing housing () secured to the tub (), the bearing housing () supporting the shaft () and a motor (M) rotating the shaft (), and a water seal () provided between the tub () and the bearing housing () to maintain gas tight of the bearing housing () and of the shaft (). As a result the laundry machine may improve capacity of the tub () and maintain gas tight of the tub () efficiently.

A laundry machine is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a tub comprising a front surface part () having an opening formed in a center thereof to introduce laundry therein, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, the drum having an opening formed therein to load the laundry therein, and a gasket () provided between an inner surface of the front surface of the tub and a front end of the opening of the drum. The gasket () comprises a plurality of ribs () arranged along a radial direction.

A washing machine for washing laundry is provided. The washing machine includes a tub to hold washing water, a drum in the tub to hold laundry, a rotational shaft connected to a rear surface of the drum, a tub back, which forms a rear side of the tub and through which the rotational shaft passes, a bearing housing that supports the rotational shaft, and a suspension that buffers and supports the bearing housing. A vibration sensor senses vibration of a structure supported by the suspension, thereby enabling control of rotation of the drum based on the sensed vibration.

A laundry machine is provided that includes a tub to receive wash water, a drum rotatably disposed in the tub, a shaft connected to the drum, a bearing housing to support the shaft, a tub back including a rim that extends in a front to rear direction and coupled to the bearing housing at a front thereof, a rear gasket coupled to the rim of the tub back, and a suspension configured to reduce vibration of the drum. The rear gasket is connected between the tub back and the tub rear.

A washing machine includes a housing which forms an exterior of the washing machine and a tub mounted inside of the housing, the tub having an opening through which laundry may be inserted and removed. A drum is rotatably mounted inside of the tub, the drum having an opening substantially aligned with the opening of the tub, through which laundry may be inserted and removed. A foreign matter shield is configured to prevent foreign matter from entering a space between the tub and the drum by maintaining a gap between the opening of the drum and the tub at a predetermined size during movement of the drum relative to the tub from an initial position to a lower position.

Drum type washing machine

A drum-type washing machine is disclosed, in which bearings are received in the bearing housing assembly. The bearing housing assembly may include a support portion coupled to a motor, and a coupling portion connected to a damper bracket.
