AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional clothes treatment apparatuses face issues with condensed water being directly sprayed onto clothes, leading to potential damage and accumulation in the treatment chamber, causing sanitary problems due to incomplete removal after drying cycles.

Method used

A clothes treatment apparatus with a steam spray device featuring a partitioned space where steam flows collide with a partition wall, separating condensed water from the steam flow path, ensuring it is discharged away from the nozzle and preventing its entry into the treatment chamber.

Benefits of technology

This design effectively prevents condensed water from being sprayed onto clothes and maximizes its collection, reducing the risk of damage and maintaining chamber hygiene by ensuring complete water removal post-drying.

Abstract

A clothes treatment apparatus (1) is disclosed which comprises: a cabinet (10) having a treatment chamber (12) for clothes, a steam unit (40) disposed in the cabinet (10) for generating steam; and a steam spray device (300) for providing the steam into the treatment chamber (12), wherein the steam spray device (300) comprises: a main body part (310) having a first body (200) and a second body (100) being coupled to the first body to define a space (S) therein, an introduction part (110) disposed in the second body (100) for introducing the steam generated in the steam unit (40) into the space (S), a nozzle part (220) disposed in the first body (200) for discharging steam in the space (S) into the treatment chamber (12); a partition wall (211) disposed in the main body part (310) for partitioning at least a portion of the space (S) into a first space (SI) and a second space (S2), the partition wall (211) defining a gap (P) through which steam flows from the first space (SI) to the second space (S2), the partition wall (211) being configured such that steam flowing from the introduction part (110) and the nozzle part (220) collides with the partition wall (211), wherein the partition wall is configured to change a flow direction of the collided steam, wherein the introduction part (110) is disposed in lower side of the second body (100) and comprises an outlet (111h) configured to communicate with the second body (100), and a tapered end configured to be connected with the steam unit (40).
