  • Patent number: 10876243
    Abstract: A drum-type washing machine includes an outer tub disposed inside a machine housing a drum disposed in the outer tub and capable of rotating about an axis inclined with respect to a horizontal direction as a center; a rotating body disposed in the drum and having a protruding portion on the surface; a driving portion including a driving motor and is configured to transmit a torque of the driving motor to the drum and the rotor so as to rotate the drum and the rotating body at different rotation speeds; and a controlling portion for controlling an operation of the driving portion. The controlling portion is configured to perform a reduction control for reducing a load when a magnitude of the load applied to the rotating body exceeds a predetermined magnitude in a washing process and/or a rinsing process.

  • Patent number: 10508383
    Abstract: Disclosed is disclosure clothing treatment device capable of effectively preventing odour from reabsorbing to clothing. A clothing deodorizing device includes: a bag body for accommodating clothing; an ozone supply apparatus including an ozone generator and a blowing fan wherein the air supply fan operates to deliver the ozone generated by the ozone generator into the bag body by virtue of the flow of the air; and a control part for controlling operation of the ozone generator and the blowing fan. After performing deodorization operation that enables the ozone generator and the blowing fan to operate, the control part performs reabsorption preventing operation that enables the blowing fan to operate intermittently.

  • Patent number: 10086103
    Abstract: A clothes deodorizing apparatus includes: a bag body for accommodating clothes; an ozone supply apparatus to supply air with the ozone into the bag body; a throwing inlet arranged on the bag body and opened and closed through a zipper; and a locking detection unit configured to detect that the throwing inlet is locked by the zipper. The locking detection unit includes: a detection lock connected with a slider of the zipper; and a lock detection part arranged on the ozone supply apparatus and configured to detect a lock inserting concave part that accepts the detection lock and the detection lock. The detection lock does not reach the lock inserting concave part in a state that the zipper is completely opened, and reaches the lock inserting concave part in a state that the zipper is completely closed.

  • Publication number: 20180135232
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a clothes treating device comprising: a bag body for accommodating clothes; an ozone supply device including an ozone generator and a blowing fan, wherein ozone generated by the ozone generator is delivered into the bag body through flow of air by means of operation of the blowing fan; and a control part. The control part can change an output voltage value output to the blowing fan in a manner of enabling the blowing fan to keep specified rotating speed, and obtain the output voltage value when controlling the blowing fan to keep the specified rotating speed and a value of driving current flowing to the blowing fan, and stop the ozone generator under a condition of judging that the obtained values are respectively less than a first threshold and a second threshold.
