A food waste disposer includes a housing, a grinding case inside the housing to dispose of food waste, a valve assembly mounted to a lower portion of the grinding case, and a driving device arranged on one side of the valve assembly to operate the valve assembly. The grinding case includes a discharge hole formed on a bottom surface. The valve assembly includes a valve member configured to open or close the discharge hole. The driving device includes: a driving motor to generate power; a power transmission member connected to the driving motor and configured to be moved in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction; a holding member that rotates based on the movement of the power transmission member and connects to the valve member to guide an open or closed state of the valve member; and a sensor in contact with the power transmission member.

Food waste disposer

A food waste disposer includes: a housing; a grinding case positioned inside the housing and configured to be separable from inside of the housing to outside of the housing and treat food waste; a rotating grinder configured to treat the food waste by rotating inside the grinding case and rotatably coupled with respect to a bottom surface of the grinding case; a grinder rotating shaft inserted in the rotating grinder and configured to rotate together with the rotating grinder; and a driver positioned below the grinding case and configured to provide rotation power of the rotating grinder, wherein the driver includes: a driving motor configured to generate power; a shaft driving gear configured to rotate by receiving power of the driving motor; and a connecting shaft configured to be rotatable within a range of a first angle with respect to the shaft driving gear, wherein one end of the connecting shaft is inserted in the grinder rotating shaft and another end of the connecting shaft is inserted in the shaft driving gear to transfer power from the shaft driving gear to the grinder rotating shaft.

A clothes care device comprising a body including a care room that accommodates clothes; and a holder including a base formed to extend in a first direction so as to support the clothes, and a fixing device for fixing the clothes supported on the base. The fixing device may include: a holder body formed to extend in the first direction; a pressing member coupleable to one end of the holder body, and which is rotatable between a first position extending in a second direction for pressing the clothes such that the clothes are fixed, and a second position spaced apart from the pressing member such that the clothes are released; a rotary shaft rotatably coupling the holder body and the pressing member; and an elastic member coupleable to the rotary shaft so as to elastically bias the pressing member to the first position.

Clothes holder and clothes care device comprising same

Provided is a washing machine capable of preventing laundry in a rotary tub from having pigment transfer or contamination due to wash water of an auxiliary washing tub. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub located in the cabinet and storing wash water therein, a main washing tub rotatably disposed in the tub and having a first washing space, and an auxiliary washing tub detachably mounted to the main washing tub and having a second washing space, wherein the auxiliary washing tub includes a drain path for guiding wash water of the second washing space to a space between the tub and the main washing tub.

Washing machine

Disclosed is a washing machine including a drying function. Here, a height of a bottom end of a dryer disposed above a tub is lower than a height of a top end of the tub to have a space for integrating other devices having additional functions above the tub.

A washing machine includes a motor for generating power and a clutch assembly that receives the power from the motor and drives a drum and a pulsator. The clutch assembly includes a driving shaft that receives the power from the motor and rotates, a pulsator drive portion selectively receiving the power from the driving shaft to rotate the pulsator, and a drum driving portion selectively receiving the power from the driving shaft to rotate the drum, The clutch assembly is provided to selectively drive a driving portion of at least one of the drum driving portion and the pulsator drive portion. With this configuration, the washing machine capable of running various modes of a washing mode and dehydration mode is implemented.

Clutch assembly of washing machine

A washing machine including: a cabinet; a tub mounted inside the cabinet to receive washing water; a rotating drum mounted inside the tub to load laundry therein; and an injection unit to inject washing water inside of the rotating drum. The injection unit includes: a plurality of nozzles spaced away from each other to inject washing water inside of the rotating drum at different positions; and a connector configured to include a plurality of passages so that a flow path of washing water diverges into the plurality of nozzles. Washing water may be injected by the spaced nozzles over a wide area inside the drum.

A washing machine includes a cabinet; a tub which is disposed in the cabinet and in which washing water is stored; a rotating tub that is disposed in the tub and accommodates laundry; a spray unit configured to spray washing water into the rotating tub; and a fixing unit to which at least a portion of the spray unit is coupled and which includes a mounting structure provided at at least a portion of a circumferential direction of the fixing unit so as to fix the spray unit. The mounting structure in which a spray unit can be fixed by a fixing unit provides that movement of the spray unit can be prevented when a washing machine operates and the spray unit can be assembled in a desired position of the washing machine.
