20120186306 | WASHING MACHINE AND PUMP FILTER THEREOF - A washing machine includes a tub, a pump case including an inflow chamber into which wash water in the tub flows, a circulation pump chamber provided at one side of the inflow chamber to supply wash water to the tub, and a drain pump chamber provided at the other side of the inflow chamber to discharge the wash water to the outside, and a pump filter installed in the inflow chamber to filter out foreign substances from the wash water. The pump filter includes a first filter part passing wash water flowing into the circulation pump chamber and a second filter part passing wash water flowing into the drain pump chamber, and the first filter part includes a blocking wall preventing the wash water from rectilinearly flowing into the circulation pump chamber and guiding detouring of the wash water. | 07-26-2012 |
20120291498 | DRAIN HOSE AND WASHING MACHINE HAVING THE SAME - A washing machine capable of reducing noise generated during a drain operation or a spin dry operation with a simple structure. The washing machine includes a cabinet, a tub disposed inside the cabinet to accommodate wash water, a drain pump disposed at a lower side of the tub to drain the wash water contained in the tub, a first drain hose connecting the tub to the drain pump to allow the wash water contained in the tub to be introduced into the drain pump, and a second drain hose guiding the wash water, which is introduced into the drain pump, to outside the cabinet. | 11-22-2012 |
20130213097 | WASHING MACHINE - A washing machine including a drum provided with a plurality of recess portions each provided in a polygonal pyramid recessed from one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the drum toward the remaining of the inner side and the outer side of the drum, and a plurality of through-holes configured to receive and discharge wash water, the recess portion including a polygonal side provided in a form of a polygon, and a plurality of edges extending from corners of the polygonal side to meet at a vertex of the recess portion, and the through-hole is formed through at least one of sides that form the polygonal side, thereby improving the washing performance due to the recess portion that makes a friction of the laundry with the sides of the recess portion. | 08-22-2013 |
20140047869 | DRUM WASHING MACHINE - 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. | 02-20-2014 |
20140091112 | DETERGENT SUPPLY APPARATUS AND WASHING MACHINE HAVING THE SAME - A detergent supply apparatus includes a detergent box; and at least one liquid detergent containing unit provided in the detergent box to move a liquid detergent using a siphon phenomenon. The liquid detergent containing unit includes a siphon pipe to induce a siphon action, a siphon cap coupled to the siphon pipe, and at least one residual water hole formed through a bottom of the liquid detergent containing unit. The siphon cap includes at least one cap protrusion configured to be fitted into the residual water hole, and at least one gap is defined between the residual water hole and the cap protrusion such that residual water is discharged from the liquid detergent containing unit through the gap. The liquid detergent containing unit includes at least one integral liquid detergent containing unit integrally provided in the detergent box. | 04-03-2014 |
