摘要： The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment machine. A drain laundry treatment machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure: an inverter converting a direct current (DC) voltage from a converter into an alternating current (AC) voltage based on a switching operation and outputting the converted AC voltage to a drain motor; an output current detector to detect an output current flowing in the drain motor; and a controller to control the drain motor to rotate at a speed lower than a first speed when the output current flowing in the drain motor decreases in a state where a speed of the drain motor is the first speed. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce a pressure in a vortex chamber of the drain pump during dewatering.

摘要： A washing machine appliance includes a wash basket that is rotatably mounted within a wash tub and that defines a wash chamber for receiving a load of clothes. A motor assembly selectively rotates the wash basket, a drain pump assembly selectively drains wash fluid from the wash tub, and a camera assembly is used to monitor an out-of-balance value to minimize out-of-balance issues. Specifically, a controller of the washing machine appliance uses the camera assembly to obtain one or more images of the wash chamber, analyze the one or more images using a machine learning image recognition process to determine the out-of-balance value of the load of clothes in the wash basket, and perform a cloth redistribution process based at least in part on determining that the out-of-balance value is greater than a predetermined out-of-balance threshold.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to a drain pump driving apparatus and a laundry treatment machine including the same. A drain pump driving apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a controller configured to drive a motor, during drainage, based on an output current and a direct current (DC) terminal voltage with a first power when a lift is at a first level and to drive the motor with the first power when the lift is at a second level that is greater than the first level, wherein the lift is a difference between a water level of a water introduction part through which water flows into a drain pump and a water level of a water discharge part through which the water is discharged out of the drain pump. Accordingly, water pumping can be performed smoothly even if the lift is changed during the drainage.

摘要： A laundry washing machine and method adapt the operation of a laundry washing machine for a particular installation environment using a calibration process that may be performed at installation and/or at various times thereafter to determine one or more operational settings used to control the operation of the laundry washing machine. A calibration process, for example, may determine one or more of an ambient light characteristic, a water supply pressure, and an empty wash tub weight to generate one or more operational settings used by a controller of a laundry washing machine.

摘要： A washing machine and a control method thereof, the washing machine includes: a water container; a filtering device, communicating with the water container and configured to filter the water in the water container, the filtering device is provided with a discharge outlet for discharging filtered impurities outward; and a recovery device, separately arranged with the filtering device and communicating with the discharge outlet of the filtering device for collecting the discharged filtered impurities. The filtered impurities are collected by setting a recovery device, so that the filtered impurities are not directly discharged along with the drainage water of the washing machine. At the same time, the recovery device and the filtering device are separately arranged, and the filtered impurities are discharged into the recovery device without being accumulated in the filtering device, thus avoiding the influence on the filtering efficiency.
