Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated washing-drying machine and a method of controlling the same, the integrated washing-drying machine including a housing, a drying drum disposed at an upper side in the housing and configured to accommodate and dry laundry, a washing drum disposed at a lower side in the housing and configured to accommodate and wash laundry, a heat pump having an evaporator, a compressor, and a condenser and produce hot air for drying laundry and supply the hot air to the drying drum, and a cleaning means configured to clean the condenser by spraying cleaning water to the condenser. In this case, the cleaning means uses, as the cleaning water, at least any one of condensate water produced in the evaporator and washing water to be supplied to the washing drum. With this configuration, when the amount of condensate water is insufficient, the washing water is additionally supplied to clean the condenser cleanly.

Abstract: A cleaner is disclosed. The cleaner includes a cleaner body, including a first connection passage for guiding external air thereinto, and a cleaning nozzle. The cleaning nozzle includes a case including a suction port and a second connection passage connected to the first connection passage to guide air sucked into the case through the suction port to the outside, a push button penetrating one surface of the case so as to be movable in the direction in which the push button is pressed, and a rotary member mounted to the outer surface of the second connection passage so as to be rotatable. The rotary member couples the first connection passage and the second connection passage to each other at normal times, and decouples the first connection passage and the second connection passage from each other when the rotary member is rotated along with movement of the push button.

Abstract: A robot cleaner includes a cleaner main body including a first connection duct, and a cleaning module including a second connection duct detachably coupled to the first connection duct to perform a dust suction function or a mopping function. The first and second connection ducts include a first facing surface and a second facing surface, respectively. The first and second facing surfaces face each other when the cleaning module is coupled to the cleaner main body. The first and second facing surfaces are formed in an annular shape to surround flow paths of the first and second connection ducts, respectively, and the first and second facing surfaces include a first terminal portion and a second terminal portion, respectively, which are attached to each other by a magnetic force.
