  • Patent number: 12331449
    Abstract: A washing machine comprises a housing, a drum rotatably disposed inside the housing, a driving shaft configured to transfer a rotational force from a driving motor of the washing machine to the drum, and a driving shaft flange configured to connect the driving shaft to the drum. The driving shaft flange comprises a first surface, a second surface substantially parallel to the first surface, wherein the first surface and the second surface are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance in the vertical direction, and an extension portion formed perpendicular to the first surface and the second surface and connecting the first surface to the second surface. An edge of the first surface and an edge of the second surface and an edge of the extension portion are substantially aligned in vertical direction of the drum.

  • Patent number: 11898298
    Abstract: A washing machine includes a housing; a drum disposed inside the housing and including a rotation shaft that extends in a vertical direction; and a filter unit disposed at an inner wall of the drum, configured to filter washing water flowing in a circumferential direction of the drum and to discharge the washing water in a radial direction inside of the drum. Accordingly, when a water current is formed inside the drum in the circumferential direction of the drum, the filter unit is disposed inside the drum so that foreign substances in the washing water rotated in the circumferential direction of the drum can be easily filtered.

  • Patent number: 11179804
    Abstract: A laser machining nozzle includes: a nozzle body coupled to a machining head; and a flow path formed through the nozzle body in a longitudinal axis of the nozzle body to allow a machining-assist gas to be injected toward a workpiece therethrough while a laser beam is emitted toward the workpiece, wherein the flow path comprises a first flow path formed in a flow direction of the machining-assist gas and generating a supersonic flow of the machining-assist gas; a second flow path connected to the first flow path in the flow direction of the machining-assist gas and expanding a volume of the machining-assist gas having passed through the first flow path; and a flow path boundary defining a boundary between the first flow path and the second flow path.

  • Publication number: 20020153044
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a float valve of an automatic water level controller for controlling the water level of various fluids. In particular, the present invention relates to a float valve of an automatic water level controller, which has plural outlets and is capable of controlling the water level. The present invention employs the plural outlets and is structured such that if a floating ball rises, a first valve is opened and a second valve is accordingly opened at a low water pressure. Therefore, a space can be maximally used by making the floating ball smaller or a supporting rod shorter. In addition, the present invention has an advantage of having no tendency to be contaminated by using a synthetic resin, having no possibility to be frozen to burst by achieving a low heat conductivity and providing consumers with economic profit by reducing manufacturing cost.
