20120103026 | WASHING MACHINE - A washing machine includes a cabinet, an outer tank, an inner tank, a circulation tube, and a circulation pump. The outer tank is held in the cabinet. The inner tank is rotatably mounted in the outer tank so as to accommodate and stir laundry. The circulation tube draws washing water kept in the outer tank and returns it to the outer tank. The circulation pump is located at some midpoint in the circulation tube so as to circulate the washing water. The washing machine further includes, at some midpoint in the circulation tube, a washing water-condition detector for detecting the condition of the washing water. This structure ensures the amount of washing water circulating through the washing water-condition detector, without depending on the operation of the inner tank. Thus, the washing machine can detect the degree of contamination of washing water with high accuracy while maintaining its washing efficiency. | 05-03-2012 |
20120137740 | DRUM TYPE WASHING MACHINE - Includes bottomed, cylindrical water tub ( | 06-07-2012 |
20120167639 | DRUM TYPE WASHING MACHINE - A drum type washing machine of the present invention includes a cylindrical rotary drum with a bottom that has a first opening in the front side, a water tub with a second opening corresponding to the first opening, a motor for rotating the rotary drum, and a water circulating passage for pouring out washing water to a circulating passage connected to the water tub and pouring in the washing water to the rotary drum by a circulating pump so as to circulate the washing water. The rotary drum is installed in the water tub such that its rotating axis direction is set horizontal or tilted downward from the front to the back, which is the bottom part, with respect to the horizontal direction. The water circulating passage includes a headrace where the washing water passes, a nozzle provided in the headrace for discharging the washing water, and a flow path connected to the nozzle for discharging the washing water discharged from the nozzle into the rotary drum. The headrace is configured with a front wall of the water tub and a cover attached to the front wall of the water tub. The nozzle is configured between the cover and the front wall of the water tub. | 07-05-2012 |
