Provided is a dryer. In the dryer, foreign substances such naps generated during a drying process are filtered by a filter unit, and the foreign substances attached to the filter unit are automatically removed.

Dryer

A dehumidifying apparatus for a dryer is provided that includes a case, a drum disposed inside the case that receives objects to be dried therein, and a hot air supplier that supplies hot air into the drum and dries the objects to be dried. The dehumidifying apparatus includes a heat exchanger that heat exchanges with air flowing from the drum, and an injection nozzle portion disposed between the hot air supplier and the heat exchanger so as to inject a certain jet. When gas introduced into the dehumidifying apparatus from the drum passes through the jet, foreign substances such as lint, contained in the gas may be separated, thereby preventing accumulation of the foreign substances on the dehumidifying apparatus.

Dehumidifying apparatus for dryer

A washing-drying system and a water supply controlling method, the system comprising: a first main body configured to perform washing; a second main body installed at one side of the first main body and configured to perform drying; water supply lines formed both in the first and second main bodies; and a water supply controlling unit configured to control an open or closed state or a connected or disconnected state of the water supply lines, wherein warm water and cold water respectively supplied from warm water source and cold water source both existing outside the system flow through the second main body to thusly be supplied into the first main body, whereby wastewater having high temperature generated after drying or dehumidifying laundry can be used for warm water washing, so as to save water required for the warm washing, and also to reduce energy consumed to generate warm water.

The embodiment proposes a foreign material removing apparatus for a dryer. The foreign material removing apparatus for a dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a case including an air introduction hole into which air discharged from a drum is introduced, an air discharge hole, and a foreign material discharge hole; a filtering unit that is provided in the case and includes a filter; and a cleaning unit that moves relatively to the filter and has one or more cleaning devices for removing the foreign materials accumulated in the filter.

Dryer and foreign material removing apparatus thereof

A dehumidifying apparatus is provided for a dryer, the dryer including a case; a drum disposed inside the case that receives objects to be dried therein; and a hot air supplying device that supplies hot air into the drum and dry the objects to be dried. The dehumidifying apparatus includes a plurality of dehumidifying devices, and is thereby capable of controlling humidity of exhausted air to a required level of humidity by removing moisture contained in air exhausted from the plurality of dehumidifying devices in multiple steps.

A condensing type dryer uses a heat exchanger in which condensed water can be smoothly discharged through a water-discharging slot formed in a rear end portion of a rear cover of the heat exchanger. The water-discharging slot prevents an air flowing resistance which can be caused by condensed water pooling at the rear end portion of the rear cover. Also, leakage-preventing walls enhance the heat exchanging function by ensuring a uniform flow of cold external air through the heat changer. The leakage-preventing walls prevent external air from leaking around the lateral edges of the heat exchanger.

Disclosed is a filter cleaning apparatus and a ductless dryer adopting the same, the dryer having a main body, a drum rotatably mounted at the main body, a hot air supplying unit supplying hot air into the drum, a heat exchanger condensing and removing moisture contained in air exhausted from the drum, a circulation duct conducing the air exhausted from the drum to the heat exchanger, a filter installed in the circulation duct and filtering foreign substances contained in the air discharged from the drum, and a filter cleaning apparatus removing the foreign substances caught by the filter, thereby enhancing a user's convenience and reducing indoor air contamination which may occur in the course of removing the foreign substances.

Filter cleaning apparatus and ductless dryer implementing the same

A drum for a clothes dryer in which an internal structure, especially, a baffle structure, of the drum is improved to prevent target items from being entangled and damaged during a drying operation to thereby improve the drying efficiency of the clothes dryer. Rotatable balls are inserted in the baffles mounted on an internal surface of the drum, the mounting arrangement of the baffles is changed, or the baffles are modified to thus improve the drying operation. In addition, an absorbent is filled in the baffles to thus increase the drying efficiency.

Drum for clothes dryer

A vegetable room for a refrigerator is provided. The vegetable room includes a vegetable box disposed inside a refrigerator in which a cooling air supply unit is provided to circulate cooling air therein and a plurality of shelves is provided, and having a receptacle space that receives food items therein opened upwardly, a box cover that covers an opening side of the vegetable box to close the receptacle space of the vegetable box and having a plurality of cooling air ventilating holes formed at one side thereof to introduce cooling air into the vegetable box, a cover support unit interposed between the box cover and the shelf to support the box cover at the shelf, a plurality of opening and closing members that open and close the cooling air ventilating holes of the box cover, and an operating unit that operates the opening and closing members simultaneously.

Vegetable room for refrigerator

A vegetable room for a refrigerator includes: a vegetable box () disposed inside a refrigerator in which cooling air is supplied and circulated and which a shelf () for receiving food item is provided, having a receptacle space () for receiving food items formed to be opened upwardly; a box cover () for covering an opening side of the vegetable box () to close the receptacle space () of the vegetable box () and having a cooling air ventilating hole () formed at one side thereof to allow cooling air to be introduced into the receptacle space (); and a cooling air opening and closing unit () for selectively opening and closing the cooling air ventilating hole () of the box cover (). A preservation condition of food items stored in a vegetable room can be optimized regardless of an environment outside a refrigerator.
