Abstract: The disclosure relates to a shielding device for closing a path through which air circulates in a refrigerator and a refrigerator having shielding device. The shielding device includes a forced draft fan cover having a threaded hole formed with a threaded slot; and a drive shaft formed with a thread being screwed with the threaded slot and extended to pass through the threaded hole, where an air duct that allows the air flows from the inside of the forced draft fan cover to the outside is provided between the drive shaft and the forced draft fan cover.

Abstract: A washing machine capable of reducing power consumption comprising: a substantially bottomed cylindrical washing tank; a rotary wing rotatably and freely arranged at a bottom of the washing tank; and a driving unit for rotatably driving the rotary wing by being powered by electricity. The rotary wing is formed in a disc shape and centered on a rotary axis (Ra), and a plurality of stirring blades radially extending towards an outer circumference are arranged on a surface of the rotary wing. A center (Cw) of these stirring blades is set at a position more misplaced towards an outer diameter direction than the rotary axis (Ra), and a protrusion part more protruded towards an axial direction of the rotary axis (Ra) than the stirring blades is arranged at the center (Cw) of the plurality of stirring blades.

Abstract: A washing machine which enables a user to effectively perform hand washing of washings in a washing and dewatering tank is disclosed. A full-automatic washing machine has: a washing and dewatering tank for performing washing and dewatering of washings; a water supply unit for supplying water into the washing and dewatering tank; a control part for controlling the water supply unit; an auxiliary washing plate which is detachably installed in the washing and dewatering tank and has a shape of concaves and convexes on an upper surface; and a hand washing water supply button which is operated when the auxiliary washing plate installed in the washing and dewatering tank is used for performing hand washing of washings. Here, the control part supplies water to the water supply unit based on a condition already operated on the hand washing water supply button.

Abstract: A full-automatic washing machine includes: a first control part, a receiving part, a body display part arranged on an upper panel, and a remote controller separated from the body display part. The remote controller includes: setting keys for setting operating information of a washing operation, a second control part, an information display part and a transmitting part. The second control part displays operating information set by the setting keys through the information display part, and transmits the operating information by the transmitting part to the receiving part through wireless communication. A mode display part of the body display part is illuminated in a color such as blue corresponding to the reception of the operating information until the washing operation starts when the first control part receives the operating information.

Abstract: Provided are an opening and closing structure, a component, and a washing machine. The opening and closing structure includes: a supporting body formed with an opening part; and the lid supported by the supporting body in a free rotation manner. An elastic deformation part forming a rotation center and a periphery of the lid has flexibility. One of the supporting body and the elastic deformation part is provided with a shaft forming the rotation center of the lid, and the other is provided with a hole insertable by the shaft. One of the supporting body and the elastic deformation part is provided with a pin, and the other is provided with a recess receivable to the pin with a clearance during opening and closing of the lid. The recess gradually becomes shallower as the lid goes from an open position to an opposite side of a closed position.
