Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a washing machine and a control method of the same. The washing machine includes: a detergent supply device which supplies a liquid additive to the tub; and a controller which controls the operation of the detergent supply device. The detergent supply device includes: a plurality of cartridges which contain the additive respectively; an electrode sensor which detects conductivity of the additive contained in the plurality of cartridges; and a pump which extracts the additive contained in the cartridge. The controller determines a type of additive contained in the cartridge based on a detection value of the electrode sensor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a clothing processing device that is characterized by including: a tub providing a space for storing water; a drum disposed in the tub in a rotatable manner to provide a space for storing clothing; a detergent box which is disposed outside the tub to provide a space for storing a detergent, and receives supply of water only from the tub; a tub through-hole passing through an inner circumferential surface of the tub; and a connection part having one side communicating with the tub through-hole and the other side communicating with the detergent box so that at least a portion of water moving in the direction of the inner circumferential surface of the tub due to a centrifugal force generated when the drum rotates is introduced into the detergent box, mixed with the detergent, and then discharged back to the inner circumferential surface of the tub again. The detergent box includes: a body part providing a space for storing a detergent and having an opening defined in an upper portion thereof; a housing in which the body part is accommodated in a detachable manner; a housing through-hole passing through a lower portion of the housing to communicate with the connection part; a discharge pipe protruding from a lower portion of the body part towards the opening, and having defined therein, a hollow through which the detergent is discharged; and a discharge pipe cover into which the discharge pipe is partially inserted, and which guides the water and the detergent to the hollow when more than a threshold amount of the water is introduced into the body part. The detergent box further includes a blocking part which communicates with the discharge pipe, and which is provided with a predetermined space between the lower portion of the body part and the bottom surface of the housing to prevent the water introduced into the housing from contacting the discharge pipe.
