Abstract: Disclosed here is an air conditioner and the control method thereof comprising an outdoor unit having an outdoor heat exchanger for the heat exchanging of the outdoor air and refrigerant; at least one indoor unit corresponding to the outdoor unit and having indoor heat exchanger for the heat exchanging of the room air and refrigerant; an expansion valve installed on the refrigerant pipe connecting the outdoor heat exchanger and the indoor heat exchanger, and expanding the refrigerant; and a control device controlling the opening speed of the expansion valve in accordance with the operation modes of the indoor unit.

Abstract: A resonator of a low frequency oscillation washing machine mounted to an outer periphery of a washtub has an outer periphery shaped so that a distance between the rotational center of the washtub and the outer periphery of the resonator gradually varies between points on the outer periphery of the resonator. At least one discharging hole is provided in a portion of the outer periphery of the resonator which is the farthest from the rotational center of the washtub within the varying portion.

Abstract: A washing net attaching and detaching structure of a fully automatic washing machine with a washing course of dry-marked clothes is shaped as a basket which is attachably and detachably installed within a washtub for being vibrated in the up and down directions in accordance with a reciprocal ascending and descending movement of a driving member to preserve and wash laundry indicated with a dry mark. The washing net has a diameter smaller than an inner circumference of an upper end of the washtub for being easily attached and detached to and from the washtub during the cleaning of dry-marked clothes to provide a convenience to a user and prevent damage to the laundry caused by the laundry being bitten in the lower portion of the washing net, thereby significantly improving the efficiency and reliability of the product.

Abstract: A washing apparatus of a fully automatic washing machine incorporated with a washing course of dry-marked clothes includes a motor shaft installed to a motor mounted to an outer tub for being rotated by the driving of the motor, a driving member coupled with the motor shaft for reciprocally ascending and descending together with the rotational movement of the motor shaft, and a washing net joined to the driving member for being vibrated in up and down directions in accordance with the reciprocal ascending and descending movement of the driving member to preserve and clean the laundry indicated with the dry mark, in which the driving member is installed to the center of a washing blade and inserted with the washing net. Thus, the washing net housing with the laundry thereon is vibrated in up and down directions while the driving member reciprocally ascends and descends along with the driving of the motor.
