    Abstract: A refrigerator and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, which may automatically open or close a door and a method for controlling the same. The refrigerator may automatically open or close door(s) of the refrigerator by controlling a motor. After lapse of a predetermined time after the door of the refrigerator has been closed, the refrigerator operates a motor with an output used when the door is not opened, such that the refrigerator may remove noise while simultaneously maintaining a constant door opening time when the door is opened. In addition, when the door opening signal time is detected, the refrigerator may immediately opens the door.

    Abstract: Provided herein is a door opening and closing apparatus capable of reducing torque of a motor required for removing an adhesive force between a door and a housing. The door opening and closing apparatus includes a motor configured to output power for opening and closing a door, a power transmission apparatus configured to transmit the power of the motor to a hinge by rotation of a plurality of driving gears, and an auxiliary apparatus configured to generate an auxiliary force for moving the door at a closing position toward an opening position, where the auxiliary force is generated at the auxiliary apparatus by the power of the motor before the power of the motor is transmitted to the hinge through the power transmission apparatus.

    Abstract: A vacuum cleaner including a wheel, a driving motor configured to provide the wheel with a driving force, and a clutch configured to connect transfer gears to the wheel or to cancel a connection between the transfer gears and the wheel. A body of the vacuum cleaner is able to actively travel because of the transfer gears are connected to the wheel when power is applied to the driving motor and the wheel smoothly rotates without having a detent torque of the driving motor when power is not applied to the driving motor. The wheel is provided with an internal gear, and one of the transfer gears is configured to transfer the driving force of the driving motor by making contact with the internal gear.

    Abstract: An air conditioner including a door installed in order to provide a smooth appearance by hiding an outlet is provided. The air conditioner is installed on a wall and includes a front panel including a first panel part provided with an inlet and a second panel part connected to a lower portion of the first panel part and provided with an outlet; a lower panel connected to the second panel part of the front panel and extended toward the wall; and a door installed on a front surface of the second panel part so as to open and close the outlet while being slid, wherein the door is slid along a curved movement trajectory toward the lower panel, and a curvature of the movement trajectory is changed. A clean and smooth appearance may be formed using a door slid along a curved path and a slim appearance may be formed even in the state in which the door is opened.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a refrigerator which includes a body, a door configured to open and close a storage compartment and a door opening and closing apparatus. The door opening and closing apparatus includes a pair of intermittent gears configured to transmit the power from a first gear to a second gear of the door opening and closing apparatus and configured to prevent an external force from being transmitted from the second gear to the first gear while the external force is applied to open and close the door. This configuration, among other benefits, improves the durability of a door opening and closing apparatus.
