AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The solution allows for maximum space utilization and smooth agitation of laundry, minimizing vibration and interference with other parts, while maintaining the drum's non-circular closed cross-section, thus enhancing the drying process efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

However, there is a problem in that it is difficult to secure a maximum space for the drum, because the drum can rotated in the drying machine.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a laundry treating apparatus that smoothly agitates laundry with as large space as possible for receiving laundry. The laundry treating apparatus includes: a rotatable drum that receives laundry, has open front and rear, and is formed to have a non-circular closed cross-section; a rotatable upper circular guide that is disposed with the rotational center higher than the rotational center of the drum and supports a portion having a uniform curvature at the upper portion of the drum; a rotatable lower circular guide that partially overlaps the upper circular guide, is disposed with the rotational center lower than the rotational center of the drum and supports a portion having a uniform curvature at the lower portion of the drum; a plurality of upper support rollers that supports the upper circular guide to be rotatable; and a plurality of lower support rollers that supports the lower circular guide to be rotatable.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a laundry treating apparatus, and more particularly, a laundry treating apparatus that has a space as large as possible for receiving laundry and in which laundry is smoothly moved.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Laundry treating apparatuses mean all of the apparatuses that handle or treat clothes and bedclothes (hereafter, referred to as ‘laundry’) such as washing, drying, and smoothing of laundry at home or laundries. As the laundry treating apparatuses, there are a washing machine that removes contaminants from laundry, using chemical decomposition between water and a detergent and physical actions between water and the laundry, a drying machine that dries wet laundry by spinning the laundry, and a refresher that prevents allergy due to laundry and simply wash laundry by ejecting heated vapor to the laundry.[0005]The drying machine is an appliance that dries usually washe...
