    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a washing machine. The washing machine includes a tub, a drum rotatably provided in the tub, and a pump for draining and circulating wash water. The pump includes a pump housing, a drain chamber formed in the pump housing, a drain pump mounted in the drain chamber and provided with a drain impeller for generating a drain pressure in the drain chamber, a first drain hose connector extending from the upper portion of the drain chamber to drain the wash water in response to rotation of the impeller in one direction, a second drain hose connector extending from the lower portion of the drain chamber to drain the wash water in response to rotation of the impeller in the opposite direction, a first drain hose connected to the first drain hose connector, and a second drain hose connected to the second drain hose connector.

    Abstract: A microplastic filter includes a housing including an inlet configured to receive water. The microplastic filter also includes a fine filter disposed to rotate within the housing and configured to filter residues from the water. The microplastic filter further includes an inside wiper disposed within the fine filter. The inside wiper includes a center post disposed along a rotational axis of the fine filter and a helical curved wall spirally extending between the center post and the fine filter, where the helical curved wall is configured to guide a portion of the water to backflow through the fine filter and force away at least some filtered residues from pores of the fine filter to prevent fouling or clogging of the fine filter. In addition, the microplastic filter includes an outside wiper spirally disposed around the fine filter and configured to dislodge other filtered residues from the fine filter as the fine filter rotates.

    Abstract: A filter apparatus positionable outside a washing machine and connectable to a drain device of the washing machine. The filter apparatus includes a housing; a filter case in the housing and including an inlet and an outlet that are configured so that, with the filter apparatus positioned outside the washing machine and connected to the drain device, water from the drain device is flowable through the inlet into the filter case, and water in the filter case is flowable through the outlet out of the filter case; a filter detachably installable in the filter case so that water flowing through the inlet is flowable through the filter, and then to the outlet; and circuitry between the housing and the filter case and including a controller configured to control the filter apparatus, and a communicator configured to transmit information obtained by the filter apparatus to at least one of the washing machine or a user device.

    Abstract: A filter apparatus positionable outside a washing machine and connectable to a drain device of the washing machine, the filter apparatus including a filter case configured so that, with the filter apparatus connected to the drain device, water from the drain device is flowable through the filter case; a filter detachably mountable inside the filter case; a filtering flow path inside the filter case so that water passes through the filter while the filter is mounted inside the filter case; a bypass flow path inside the filter case so that water bypasses the filter; at least one sensor to obtain information about the filter; an opening and closing device to open and close the bypass flow path to guide water flowing into the filter case to the filtering flow path or the bypass flow path; and a controller to control the opening and closing device based on the obtained information.

    Abstract: A washing machine appliance may include a cabinet, a tub, a lid, and a filter assembly. The cabinet may define an opening. The tub may be disposed within the cabinet for the receipt of articles therein. The lid may be movably mounted to the cabinet to selectively cover the opening and restrict access to the tub. The filter assembly may be mounted to the lid to move therewith. The filter assembly may include an assembly box defining a box compartment and an assembly outlet upstream from the tub to direct liquid thereto. The assembly box may be movable relative to the lid. The filter assembly may further include a filter cartridge selectively received within the box compartment to filter liquid upstream from the assembly outlet.
