Patent number: 11085144Abstract: A washing machine and a control method therefor are disclosed. The washing machine according to the present invention comprises: a drum for receiving laundry; a drying unit for adjusting the temperature of air in the drum so as to dry the laundry; a filter unit for filtering lint generated from the laundry; a cleaning unit for cleaning the filter unit; and a control unit for controlling the cleaning unit such that the filter unit is periodically cleaned during rotation of the drum. Accordingly, the washing machine can reduce the amount of lint generated from laundry during a drying process. Further, the washing machine according to the disclosure periodically cleans a filter for filtering lint generated from laundry, so as to facilitate circulation of air in the drum during a drying process, thereby improving the drying efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2018Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Min-hee Kang, Sung-gyu Shin, Hong-yeol Lee, Hyung-sub Lim, Seung-hun Choi

Patent number: 10094065Abstract: A washer dryer and method for controlling the same may improve a structure of air circulation and increase dehumidification efficiency, thereby reducing drying time. A cooler fan is operated to prevent overheating of a washer dryer in the drying course, which reduces faults of the washer dryer and thus reduces user inconvenience. Overheating of the washer dryer may be prevented in advance in the washing course, which maintains washing performance and prevents delay of cooling time, leading to increased drying time accuracy and thus user satisfaction. The cooler fan is disposed on the tub to vent the air in the dryer (dry air) outside the cabinet to allow high temperature and high humidity drying, thereby increasing drying performance. A hole disposed on the bottom of the dryer sucks cool air into the inside of the dryer from the outside, and air circulation rate and dehumidification efficiency may be increased.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2014Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONIC CO., LTD.Inventors: Do Haeng Kim, Geun Kang, Hyung Sub Lim

Patent number: 9746238Abstract: A drum washing machine having an improved air circulation structure thereof. The drum washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub arranged within the cabinet, a drum rotatably arranged within the tub, a drying unit which heats and circulates air discharged from the tub so as to dry laundry within the drum, the drying unit including a drying duct equipped with a heater to heat air therein, a circulation passage provided such that air circulates between the tub and the inside of the drying duct, and a suction member which is coupled to one side of the drying duct and introduces air outside the tub onto the circulation passage, and a discharge member which is coupled to one side of the tub and discharges part of the air in the circulation passage to the outside of the cabinet.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2014Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Hyung Sub Lim, Min Hee Kang, Seok Geun Bae, Sang Oh Yoo, Geun Kang, Hye Joon Seok

Patent number: 9695541Abstract: A drum washing machine and a control method thereof. The drum washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub including a first tub part and a second tub part, a drum, an inlet provided at one side of the second tub part and supplying condensed water, and at least one flow path provided on one surface from among the inner surfaces of the second tub part opposite the drum and guiding flow of the condensed water to increase a contact area between the condensed water supplied from the inlet and the second tub part. The drum washing machine improves the structure of the tub to effectively inject condensed water, and may thus increase condensing efficiency. Further, the drum washing machine improves the structures of the tub and the drying duct, and may thus prevent accumulation of lint and lowering of performance of the drum washing machine.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 4, 2017Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.Inventors: Jin Doo Kim, Jung Hyuk Lee, Kyung Up Lim, Nam Kyu Jun, Yong Sok Lee, Hyung Sub Lim, Min Hee Kang

Patent number: 8266816Abstract: Disclosed are a clothes dryer and a door thereof. The door includes a glass assembly provided with a door glass; and a door cover connected to the glass assembly. The door cover has a vertically symmetrical structure, and is rotated against the glass assembly and then connected to the glass assembly, when the opening and closing direction of the door is changed. Thereby, when the opening and closing direction of the door is changed, only the door cover is rotated, and thus the opening and closing direction of the door is easily changed.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2009Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.Inventor: Hyung Sub Lim
