A laundry treating apparatus includes a casing, a tub provided in the casing (), and a rotatable drum () provided in the tub. The laundry treating apparatus also includes a water supply part provided in the casing to supply water to the rotatable drum and a solvent supply part supplying dry-cleaning solvent to the rotatable drum. The laundry treating apparatus further includes a condensation device that condenses a gaseous portion of the solvent into a liquid form and supplies the solvent in the liquid form to the solvent supply part.

Laundry treating apparatus with solvent supply part for dry-cleaning solvent

A laundry machine having a drying function for drying an object to be dried, especially clothes. The laundry machine according to one embodiment of the present invention may be a circulating drying machine that supplies the hot air to an object to be dried, so as to remove water, and then condenses the water from the hot air and heats the condensed water to supply the heat to the object to be dried. At this time, condensing may be carried out using natural convection.

Laundry machine having a drying function

There is disclosed a washing machine including a spouting module with a variable spouting direction. The washing machine includes a cabinet forming an external appearance, an accommodating module arranged in the cabinet and including an accommodating case in which a space for accommodating laundry is formed, spouting units formed in a horizontal direction and arranged in the accommodating case to spout water, and a driving unit for having the spouting units perform reciprocating rotational motions.

Washing machine

A washing machine is disclosed. The washing machine has a function of rotating a drum () at a low speed when a user pulls out laundry, enabling the user to easily search through the laundry. The washing machine includes a cabinet () defining an exterior appearance of the washing machine, a tub () mounted in the cabinet () and configured to receive wash water therein, a drum () rotatably mounted in the tub () and configured to receive laundry therein, an independent drive input unit () to send a drum rotating signal, so as to allow a user to operate the drum () independently of a washing process, and a control unit to control rotation of the drum () in response to a signal received from the independent drive input unit ().

A washing machine is disclosed, which includes a receiving part () to receive laundry, a supply path () to supply outside air of the receiving part () into the receiving part (), a heating member () to heat the air introduced in the supply path (), an exhaust path () through which the air in the receiving part () is exhausted to the outside, and a heat transfer part () to transfer heat of the air flowing through the exhaust path () to the air flowing in through the supply path ().

A laundry machine that treats laundry housed in a rotating drum is disclosed. The laundry machine includes a cabinet (), a tub () provided in the cabinet () to store wash water, a drum () rotatably provided in the tub () to house laundry, an angle change device () to change a tilting angle of a rotation shaft () of the drum (), and a controller to control an operation of the angle change device () and a rotating operation of the drum () in a plurality of rotation angle modes.

Laundry machine

A washing-drying/drying machine includes a tub mounted in a cabinet; a drum rotatably disposed in the tub for receiving laundry; a cooling water supply unit for supplying cooling water to condense moisture in air discharged from the drum; and a condensing plate mounted between the drum and an inner wall of the tub for receiving the cooling water to condense the moisture in the air.

Washing-drying/drying machine

A drum type washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub fixed in the cabinet, and a drum that performs a washing process. A motor rotates the drum, a supporting device that extends from a rotation shaft of the motor to the cabinet rotatably support the drum. A buffering-and-sealing device is provided at the rear side of the tub to buffer a space between the rotation shaft and the tub and to seal the rear side of the tub. A drying device extends from one side of the tub to the other side of the tub to circulate air in the drum and to dry laundry in the drum. Thus, the size of the washing machine is reduced, the washing capacity thereof is increased, and laundry is dried by the drying device.

Drum type washing machine

A washing and drying machine includes a drying duct having at least one inlet end and at least two outlet ends. Consequently, air flow is increased, and drying time and power consumption are reduced. The inlet end is connected to the center portion of the circumferential surface of a tub, and the outlet ends include a front outlet end connected to the front side of the tub and a rear outlet end connected to the rear side of the tub. Consequently, the laundry is uniformly dried even when the laundry is placed in the drum at the front and/or the rear sides of the drum, and therefore, damage to the laundry is prevented. Flow resistance is minimized, and drying time and power consumption are reduced.

Washing and drying machine

A washing and drying machine that is capable of performing heat exchange between outside air introduced into a cabinet and the circumferential surface of a tub so as to condense air used to dry laundry. No cooling water is used to condense air used to dry the laundry. Consumption of water is reduced, and therefore, the maintenance costs of the washing and drying machine are decreased. Furthermore, no condensing duct is necessary. Consequently, flow resistance is decreased, and drying efficiency is improved. In addition, sufficient space is provided between the rear surface of the tub and the cabinet. Consequently, the volume of the drum is increased, and the washing/drying capacity of the washing and drying machine is increased.

Disclosed herein is a motor and a washing machine with the same mounted therein. The motor includes a rotor cup having cooling-holes and lower blades formed at the bottom part thereof. The cooling-holes and lower blades are arranged such that each of the cooling-holes and lower blades is at a prescribed angle to the radial direction of the rotor cup so that the volume of blown air is increased, and thus a blowing force is also increased. The rotor cup is provided at the lower part of the circumference thereof with vents for allowing the air introduced into the inside of the rotor cup to be discharged to the outside therethrough. The rotor is provided at the upper side thereof with backward type upper blades so that the upper part of the motor is separately cooled, whereby cooling efficiency of the motor is improved.
