摘要:
Disclosed herein are a dryer (1) and a drying method of the same. The dryer includes a condensing unit (50) to change water vapor evaporated from a drying object into condensate water by cooling, a condensate water storage container (200) in which the condensate water is stored, a water level sensing device (240,250) to detect a level of the stored condensate water, and a microcomputer to calculate a change rate of condensation or of the condensate water level based on the detected water level and to determine a value of dryness of the drying object. The dryer effectively performs a drying operation based on the accurately detected value of dryness of the drying object.

A water level sensing apparatus (162; 262) which more precisely senses a level of supplied water, a water supply hose (63) and a washing machine having the same is provided. The water level sensing apparatus includes a main body (169) provided with an inner wall (166) and an outer wall (165) and filled with water supplied to the inside of the inner wall, a plurality of electrodes (167) inserted between the inner wall (166) and the outer wall (165) to be opposite to each other, and a micro-computer (160) to judge a water level in the main body (169) through variation of a capacitance value of the plurality of electrodes (167). Therethrough, the water level sensing apparatus (162; 262) more directly measures a water level, as compared to the conventional water level sensing apparatus, thus improving precision in water level measurement. Thereby, the water level sensing apparatus prevents unnecessary water supply and reduces energy consumption.

A refrigerator, the temperature of the inside of which is uniformly controlled, and a control method thereof. The direction of an air flow in a storage chamber is periodically changed so as to uniformly distribute cool air in the storage chamber by interchanging roles of suction and discharge holes in various manners under various conditions, thereby preventing local supercooling and thus uniformly maintaining the internal temperature of the storage chamber.

Disclosed herein are a washing machine that detects the weight of laundry based on the displacement of a rotary tub and a control method thereof. The washing machine includes a rotary tub displaced according to the weight of laundry, at least one sensor module to detect the displacement of the rotary tub, and a controller to calculate the weight of the laundry according to the displacement of the rotary tub. The weight of the laundry is sensed according to the displacement of the rotary tub in which the laundry is directly placed.

Disclosed herein are a washing machine that amplifies the displacement of a tub according to input of laundry such that the displacement of the tub is accurately sensed by a sensor module and a laundry amount detection apparatus thereof. The washing machine includes a housing forming an external appearance thereof, a tub provided in the housing to contain water, an amplification unit to amplify displacement of the tub, and a sensor module to sense weight of laundry using the amplified displacement of the tub.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are a washing machine and a control method of the same wherein image change or light amount change based on displacement of an object, which is changed depending upon the weight of laundry, is sensed to detect the weight of the laundry, thereby improving reliability in detecting the weight of the laundry.

An air conditioner and a control method thereof are disclosed. The air conditioner includes a distance detection unit which detects a distance to an obstacle in an indoor space, a temperature detection unit which detects a space temperature of the indoor space, a rotation unit which rotates the distance detection unit and the temperature detection unit, and a controller which controls to detect distance information and temperature information according to space regions obtained by dividing the indoor space into a plurality of regions in a rotation direction while the distance detection unit and the temperature detection unit are rotated, to sequentially store the distance information and temperature information according to the space regions, and to determine whether there is a human body in a corresponding space region and a position of the human body based on a variation in the stored distance information and temperature information. Accordingly, it is possible to quickly and accurately distinguish an object from a human body, and also possible to quickly and accurately determine even a hardly moving body, thereby improving pleasantness of a human body by concentrating or removing cool air or warm air to or from the human body according to a user's preference.
摘要:
A storage container (50) with a sensor device (100) to detect a state of food contained in the storage container and a refrigerator having the same. The sensor device is separably mounted to the storage container. The sensor device includes an electrode terminal (120) usable not only to achieve a charging operation, but also to achieve a salinity measuring operation. Thus, the sensor device has user convenience while having a compact size.
