A multiple laundry treating machine, in which an auxiliary laundry treating device is coupled to a general laundry treating device, is disclosed. The multiple laundry treating machine includes a main laundry treating device for washing or drying laundry contained in an interior of the main laundry treating device, an auxiliary laundry treating device arranged at one side of the main laundry treating device, the auxiliary laundry treating device having a volume and a height respectively smaller than a volume and a height of the main laundry treating device, and having a laundry container formed in an interior of the auxiliary laundry treating device, and a connecting unit for connecting the main and auxiliary laundry treating devices, to enable communication or control operations between the main and auxiliary laundry treating devices. In accordance with the multiple laundry treating machine, it is possible to achieve a convenience in use and to save energy because a small amount of clothes or shoes can be dried by the auxiliary laundry treating device, without driving a laundry treating device having a relatively-large capacity.

Multiple laundry treating machine

A pedestal washing machine () capable of washing a small amount of laundry and also serving as a bedplate for supporting the other washing machine () is disclosed. The pedestal washing machine () includes a case () which has a volume and a height smaller than a volume and a height of a washer () to stably support the washer (), an outer tub () installed in the case () to accommodate washing water, a rotating body () which is rotatably installed in the outer tub to shake laundry, and a driving device () which is installed in a space formed between the outer tub () and a corner of the case () to transfer a rotational force to the rotating body ().

Pedestal washing machine

A complex washing machine is disclosed. The complex washing machine includes an auxiliary washing machine that is capable of serving as a pedestal for a main laundry machine, such as a washing machine or a drying machine, and performing a washing operation. The auxiliary washing machine is suitable for washing a small amount of laundry while the auxiliary washing machine serves as a pedestal for supporting the main washing machine, which is placed on the auxiliary washing machine. A bearing housing, which supports a rotary shaft of a motor, and a bottom plate of a tub are connected to each other via a gasket. Consequently, the vibration generated from the tub during washing is minimized.

A multiple laundry treating machine, in which an auxiliary laundry treating device () is coupled to a general laundry treating device (), is disclosed. The multiple laundry treating machine includes a main laundry treating device () for washing or drying laundry contained in an interior of the main laundry treating device (), an auxiliary laundry treating device () arranged at one side of the main laundry treating device (), the auxiliary laundry treating device () having a volume and a height respectively smaller than a volume and a height of the main laundry treating device (), and having a laundry container () formed in an interior of the auxiliary laundry treating device (), and a connecting unit () for connecting the main and auxiliary laundry treating devices (), to enable communication or control operations between the main and auxiliary laundry treating devices (). In accordance with the multiple laundry treating machine, it is possible to achieve a convenience in use and to save energy because a small amount of clothes or shoes can be dried by the auxiliary laundry treating device (), without driving a laundry treating device () having a relatively-large capacity.

A laundry treating machine including a laundry treating device () and a pedestal laundry treating device () is disclosed. The laundry treating machine is configured to achieve simultaneous or selective supply of water and simultaneous or selective draining of wash water for the laundry treating device () and pedestal laundry treating device (). The pedestal laundry treating device () supports the laundry treating device () beneath and outside the laundry treating device. The pedestal laundry treating device () has a volume and a height smaller than those of the laundry treating device (), and has a laundry treating function. The laundry treating machine () further includes a water supplier () for simultaneously or selectively supplying water to the laundry treating device () and pedestal laundry treating device (), and a water drainer () for joining wash water discharged from the laundry treating device () and wash water discharged from the pedestal laundry treating device () into a draining pipe (), and draining the joined wash water.

Laundry device

The present invention relates to a method and device for displaying usage guidelines of a washing machine, and more particularly, to a method and device for displaying usage guidelines of a washing machine wherein a user can be guided in all the washing processes by the respective stages. The present invention is characterized in that usages of the washing machine by the respective stages are provided to an inexperienced person who does not know well the usages, that actual processes are performed when the user follows the provided instructions, and that the user can personally check and troubleshoot simple problems which may occur when utilizing the washing machine. According to the present invention, there is an additional advantage in that various functions and usages of the washing machine can be more conveniently and efficiently utilized with the aid of a wash help.

Method and device for display use of washing machine

A drum-type washing machine having a self-balancing outer tub assembly is provided by which balance of the outer tub assembly is maintained while the drum is rotated, without the use of a separately installed counterbalance for the front part of the tub assembly. The outer tub assembly includes a front outer tub having an open front and rear; and a rear outer tub having a closed end and an open end coupled to the front outer tub. The front outer tub is formed of a material having a specific gravity higher than that of the rear outer tub and/or has a thickness greater than that of the rear outer tub.

Drum-type washing machine

Provided is an apparatus and method for controlling a washing/drying system including a washing machine and a dryer used in one pair. Since the washing machine can communicate with the dryer according to a wireless communication regulation, the dryer can operate more conveniently. According to the apparatus and method, convenience in using the washing machine and the dryer together is further enhanced.

Apparatus and method for controlling washing/drying system

A condenser of a condensing-type dryer is provided. In the condensing-type dryer, a hydrophilic film is formed on a heat emission plate by a plasma discharge. In the heat emission plate, an indoor air can be heat exchanged with a circulation air cycling in a drum. A contact angle of a condensed waterdrop formed on the heat emission plate is decreased through the hydrophilic film, thereby making it possible to decrease a flow resistance due to the condensed waterdrop.

Condensing-type dryer

Disclosed is a washing machine capable of changing program and solving a fundamental problem of malfunction. The washing machine includes: a storage tank mounted vertically or horizontally for storing washing water; an inner tub mounted vertically or horizontally inside the storage tank in a rotatable manner; a load part including a motor for rotating the inner tub, water supply means for supplying water and drain means for draining water; a drive micom for controlling the load part; a key input part for allowing a user to input various operation orders or to set functions of the washing machine; a display part for displaying the functions and operation conditions; a memory capable of reading and writing and for storing operation algorism of the washing machine and information related with the washing machine; an interface part for inputting and outputting data with an external device; and a system micom for controlling the drive micom for performing a washing operation corresponding to the user's operation order through the key input part, controlling the display part for displaying the corresponding operation condition or function and storing data transferred from the external device through the interface part into the memory. The washing machine can maximize convenience, washing performance and operational efficiency.
