Abstract: A washing machine includes a water tank, a washing tub, a pulsator, a drive motor, a drive shaft, a dewatering shaft that rotates about the same axis of the drive shaft and spins the washing tub, a coupler that is mounted to move up and down along the dewatering shaft and transmits the torque of the drive motor to the dewatering shaft, a solenoid module that moves the coupler upward in a lengthwise direction of the dewatering shaft so as to cut off torque from the drive motor to the dewatering shaft or transmit the torque to the dewatering shaft, when a magnetic field is generated by applying an electric current to a coil, and a coupler guide that rotates itself or fixes the position of the coupler, by coming into contact with the coupler when the coupler moves upward in the lengthwise direction of the dewatering shaft.

Abstract: A control method for a washing machine includes: a mode change step in which the configuration of a coupler is moved by operating a solenoid module in such a way that a drive shaft for spinning a pulsator and a dewatering shaft for spinning a washing tub are axially coupled or decoupled; and a mode check step in which a drive motor for rotating the drive shaft is operated and the load of current outputted to the drive motor is sensed, the mode check step comprising a coupler setting step in which, if the load of current outputted to the drive motor does not satisfy a set load value, the solenoid module is operated to reposition the coupler.

Abstract: A reciprocating compressor includes a cylinder that defines an inner space, a piston that is located in the inner space of the cylinder and that defines a compression space configured to receive refrigerant, a discharge cover that is coupled to a side of the cylinder and that defines a discharge space configured to receive refrigerant discharged from the compression space, and a valve plate that is located at a side space defined at the side of the cylinder and that partitions the side space into the compression space and the discharge space. The valve plate defines a discharge hole through which the compression space and the discharge space communicate with each other, in which the discharge hole includes an inlet that faces the compression space and an outlet that faces the discharge space. The inlet and the outlet have different shapes.
