Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a clothes treating device, and more particularly to a clothes hanger for placing clothes. Background Art

[0002] Laundry treatment devices are devices developed for washing and drying clothes and removing wrinkles in homes and laundries. These devices include washing machines for washing clothes, dryers for drying clothes, washer / dryers that combine washing and drying functions, laundry management machines for refreshing clothes, and steamers for removing wrinkles.

[0003] A steamer is a device that applies steam to clothes to remove wrinkles. Unlike ordinary irons, steamers remove wrinkles by using convection to heat the clothes rather than directly heating the clothes (for example, by contacting the clothes with a hard object).

[0004] On the other hand, a laundry machine is a device that keeps clothes comfortable and clean. It can shake off dust, remove odors, dry clothes, and add fragrance to clothes. It can also prevent static electricity, remove wrinkles from clothes using dehumidified air or steam, and sterilize clothes.

[0005] Korean Patent Gazette No. 10-1456210 discloses a hanger rod capable of reciprocating motion to shake off dust adhering to clothing. To achieve this reciprocating motion, a motor crankshaft and a connecting rod are provided to achieve this reciprocating motion. However, because the motor and the hanger rod are arranged side by side across the width of the housing, the reciprocating motion of the hanger rod not only exerts force across the width of the housing but also unintentionally exerts force across the height of the housing, which is not necessary.

[0006] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1525569 discloses a structure in which a motor is vertically connected to a hanger bar to transmit only the widthwise force required for the reciprocating motion of the hanger bar. This vertically coupled structure of the reciprocating drive unit occupies a large space in the height direction, thus preventing efficient use of the space for the drive unit located above the clothing storage space.

[0007] Furthermore, the hanger rod always protrudes from the storage space, so even if a single piece of clothing is hung on the hanger rod, the entire storage space must be used to perform a steaming or drying cycle. Furthermore, in order to dry items other than clothing, such as silk or knitted clothing, large dolls, scarves, and hats, which can be placed on a shelf without using the hanger rod, there is a problem of limited space occupied by the hanger rod.

[0008] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0028185 discloses a structure in which a hanger bar can not only reciprocate but also move forward. However, since the hanger bar always moves together in a fixed position, there is a problem that the storage space for clothing cannot be divided and used. In addition, since the position of the slots of the hanger bar, which can accommodate clothes hangers, is fixed, there are limitations in adjusting the spacing of clothes.

[0009] Furthermore, with conventional hangers that can be used in clothing handling devices, there is a problem that for clothing with a large shoulder length (or shoulder width) (the length between the ends of the two shoulders), the hanger cannot be placed due to the size of the storage space, or the clothing can only be placed after being wrinkled. Of course, in this case, the user can arbitrarily rotate the hook portion of the hanger to place the clothing diagonally relative to the storage space. However, since the clothing will shake when the hanger rod reciprocates, there is a problem that the rotation of the hook portion is not stable. Summary of the Invention

[0143] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The device structures or control methods described below are only used to illustrate the embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the claims of the present invention. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals represent the same structural elements.

[0144] The specific terms used in this specification are for convenience of description only and are not intended to limit the embodiments shown.

[0145] For example, expressions such as “same” and “identical” indicate not only a state of being strictly identical but also a state of being different to the extent that a tolerance or the same function can be obtained.

[0146] For example, expressions of relative or absolute arrangement such as "toward a certain direction", "along a certain direction", "parallel", "vertical", "toward the center", "concentric" or "coaxial" not only indicate a state of being configured strictly in the above manner, but also indicate a state of being relatively shifted at an angle or distance with a tolerance or a degree to which the same function can be achieved.

[0147] To illustrate the present invention, the following description will be based on a spatial orthogonal coordinate system formed by mutually orthogonal X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis. Each axial direction (X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, Z-axis direction) refers to the directions on both sides of the extension of each axis. Adding a "+" sign in front of each axial direction (+X-axis direction, +Y-axis direction, +Z-axis direction) refers to the positive direction of one of the two directions extending from each axis. Adding a "-" sign in front of each axial direction (-X-axis direction, -Y-axis direction, -Z-axis direction) refers to the negative direction of the other direction extending from each axis.

[0148] The expressions indicating directions such as “front (+Y) / back (-Y) / left (+X) / right (-X) / up (+Z) / down (-Z)” mentioned below are defined according to the XYZ coordinate axes, but this is only for illustration so that the present invention can be clearly understood. Of course, the directions can also be defined differently according to the reference datum.

[0149] The use of terms such as "first," "second," and "third" before structural elements mentioned below is intended solely to avoid confusion regarding the structural elements being referred to and has no bearing on the order, importance, or primary / secondary relationship between the structural elements. For example, an invention may be implemented that includes only the second structural element but not the first structural element.

[0150] Unless the context clearly dictates otherwise, expressions in the singular used in this specification include expressions in the plural.

[0151] In addition, in this specification, unless otherwise specified, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction respectively represent the height direction (Z / -Z direction) of the box 130, the depth direction (Y / -Y direction) of the box 130, and the width direction (X / -X direction) of the box 130.

[0152] In addition, the expression "at least one" in this specification means "one or more" or "at least one or more".

[0153] Figure 1 An example of a conventional clothing processing device 1 is shown. The clothing processing device 1 includes: a housing 10 having an inlet on one side; a first chamber 20 located inside the housing 10, through which clothing is stored in the first chamber 20; a second chamber 30 located below the first chamber 20, forming a space separated from the first chamber 20; a steam unit (not shown) disposed inside the second chamber 30, generating steam and supplying it to the first chamber 20; and a door 70 rotatably coupled to the housing 10 for opening and closing the inlet. Considering the general user's usage, the inlet is preferably disposed on the front of the housing 10.

[0154] In addition, the clothing processing device 1 may further include: an air supply unit (not shown), located inside the second chamber 30, sucking air from the first chamber 20; and a heat pump unit, dehumidifying and heating the sucked air and then discharging it to the first chamber 20.

[0155] The housing 10 can be made of a metal material, or a plastic material as long as it maintains strength. Alternatively, the first chamber 20 can be formed by plastic injection molding. The first chamber 20 can be coupled to the housing 10 via a frame (not shown). Alternatively, a foamed plastic such as polyurethane can be used to fill the space between the housing 10 and the first chamber 20 or between the housing 10 and the second chamber 30.

[0156] Clothes, including tops and bottoms, can be placed in the first chamber 20. The clothes can be cared for using an air supply unit (not shown), a heat pump unit (not shown), and a steam unit (not shown) located within the second chamber 30. Specifically, the air supply unit, the heat pump unit, and the steam unit located within the second chamber 30 can utilize steam and / or heated air to sterilize, deodorize, and smooth wrinkles formed on the clothes.

[0157] The first chamber 20 may include a hanger portion 60 for placing clothing in an upper portion of the first chamber 20. The hanger portion 60 can accommodate a hanger with clothing and can be connected to a drive portion 63 that can reciprocate the hanger portion 60 left and right. The movement of the hanger portion 60 shakes the clothing, thereby removing foreign matter, including dust, that is attached to the clothing. Furthermore, by exposing the clothing placed on the hanger portion 60 to steam or moisture supplied from the second chamber 30 while shaking, wrinkles on the clothing can be removed to a certain extent.

[0158] That is, the hanger portion 60 allows the clothes to be placed in the first chamber 20 in a state of being spread out under their own weight, thereby allowing the clothes to be evenly exposed to the dehumidified and heated air and / or steam supplied from the second chamber 30 .

[0159] Typically, when water boils at 100°C under atmospheric pressure, the water vapor produced is called steam. Moisture, on the other hand, refers to water suspended in the air at room temperature in the form of droplets smaller than 1 mm. For example, it is similar to mist. Steam, produced by heating water to boil, generally has a higher temperature than water and therefore possesses superior bactericidal properties. Furthermore, because water molecules move more actively at higher temperatures, steam penetrates clothing more effectively, making it more efficient than water for clothing care.

[0160] The first chamber 20 is formed by a first chamber upper surface (not shown) with the drive unit 63 of the hanger unit 60 positioned above it, forming the upper surface of the first chamber; a first chamber bottom surface 21 forming the bottom; left and right side surfaces 105 and 107 of the first chamber connecting the first chamber upper surface and the first chamber bottom surface 21; and a first chamber back surface (not shown) forming the back surface of the first chamber. If the side with the inlet for inserting clothes is the front side, the first chamber back surface will be located in the opposite direction. Figure 1 An example is shown in which an inlet is formed on the front side and a door is rotatably coupled to one side of the inlet.

[0161] Figure 1 The enlarged view of the hanger portion 60 is shown. The hanger portion 60 includes a hanger rod 64 extending across the width of the door; hanger supports 62 supporting the hanger rod at both ends; and a support frame 61 securing the hanger supports 62 to the upper surface of the case or the upper surface of the first chamber. The hanger portion 60 also includes a drive 63 that transmits power to enable the hanger rod 64 to reciprocate across the width of the case 10.

[0162] An air supply port 23 and a steam supply port 25 for supplying steam generated by the steam unit inside the second chamber 30 and air dehumidified and heated by the heat pump unit to the first chamber, and an air intake port 22 for sucking air into the first chamber 20 through the air supply unit can be located on the bottom surface 21 of the first chamber.

[0163] like Figure 1 As shown, the air supply port 23 and the steam supply port 25 can be arranged in the area where the bottom surface 21 of the first chamber meets the back surface of the first chamber. In addition, the area where the bottom surface 21 of the first chamber meets the back surface of the first chamber can be smoothly inclined. The air intake port 22 can be located at a position close to the inlet in the bottom surface 21 of the first chamber. Therefore, the air inside the first chamber 20 will be expelled through the air supply port 23 and inhaled through the air intake port 22 to circulate. Steam is also condensed after being discharged through the steam supply port 25 and is inhaled through the air intake port 22, and then collected in a water collector (not shown) for storing condensed water.

[0164] In order to more smoothly discharge the condensed water condensed inside the first chamber 20 to the second chamber 30 through the air intake port 22 , the first chamber bottom surface 21 may be tilted downward from the back of the first chamber toward the inlet where the door is located.

[0165] like Figure 1 As shown, in the laundry treatment device 1, a water supply tank 81 for supplying water to the steam unit and a drain tank 82 for draining and storing condensed water collected in a sump (not shown) can be disposed in front of the second chamber 30. Furthermore, a tank module frame (not shown) is provided to form a tank installation space (not shown) for installing the water supply tank 81 and the drain tank 82, thereby separating the tank installation space (not shown) from the second chamber 30. Specifically, the tank installation space (not shown) and the second chamber 30 can be located below the first chamber 20, the tank installation space can be located near the door 70, and the second chamber 30 can be located behind the tank installation space.

[0166] The water supply tank 81 and the drainage tank 82 can be detachably mounted on a tank module frame (not shown). The tank module frame can separate the interior of the second chamber into a space for arranging mechanical devices, such as an air supply unit, a steam unit, and a heat pump unit, and a tank installation space for arranging the water supply tank 81 and the drainage tank 82.

[0167] The door 70 may include a door inner surface 71. When the door 70 is closed, the door inner surface 71 is located at the back of the door 70 or in a direction from the door 70 toward the first chamber 20. The door 70 is rotatably connected to the box body 10 in a hinged manner to open and close the input port.

[0168] When the user closes the door 70, the front of the water supply tank 81 and the front of the drainage tank 82 face the inner surface of the door 71. When the user opens the door 70, the front of the water supply tank 81 and the front of the drainage tank 82 are exposed to the outside. In addition, the front of the water supply tank 81 and the drainage tank 82 each include a water supply tank window (not shown) and a drainage tank window (not shown), so that the water level of the water stored in the water supply tank 81 and the drainage tank 82 can be directly checked.

[0169] The front of the water supply tank 81 and the front of the drainage tank 82 may include a water supply tank handle (not shown) and a drainage tank handle (not shown), respectively. When a user pulls the water supply tank handle and the drainage tank handle, the water supply tank 81 and the drainage tank 82 can be rotated about the front ends of the water supply tank and the drainage tank, respectively, to separate from the tank module frame (not shown). Furthermore, when mounted on the tank module frame, the water supply tank 81 and the drainage tank 82 are similarly positioned by rotation.

[0170] In the case of the existing clothing processing device 1, a hanger rod 64 and a pressurizer 50 can be provided on the inner surface 71 of the door or inside the first chamber 20. After the pants P are hung upside down on the hanger, the hanger is hung on the hanger rod 64, and the pressurizer 50 presses the pants P fixed by the hanger rod 64 and the hanger.

[0171] The reason for hanging the pants P upside down, i.e., with their bottom hem facing upward, is that the weight of the waist portion of the pants P, i.e., the upper end of the pants P, is greater than the weight of the lower end of the pants P, i.e., the pant leg portion. Therefore, a tensile force is applied to the pants P by the weight of the pants P, so that the pants P are evenly stretched.

[0172] The pressurizing device 50 may include a support plate 52 coupled to the inner surface of the door 71 and supporting the garments; and a rotating plate 53 that rotates toward the support plate 52 and presses the trousers P. When the rotating plate 53 rotates and engages with the support plate 52, the trousers P are pressed. The door 70 is then closed, exposing the trousers P to steam and dehumidified, heated air within the first chamber 20 to remove wrinkles. To facilitate steam penetration into the trousers P, a rotating plate through-hole 59 may be provided through the rotating plate 53. To prevent compression of the seams along the length of the trouser legs, recessed portions 58 may be provided on both sides of the rotating plate on the surface that contacts the trousers P. Corresponding to the recessed portions 58, the seams of the support plate 52 may also be recessed.

[0173] Reference Figure 1 The hanger bar 64 has recessed slots for accommodating clothes hangers. Considering the spacing between clothes, the number of slots can be predetermined, and the positions of these slots are fixed. Therefore, to adjust the spacing between clothes, it is necessary to skip the adjacent slot and place the clothes in the next slot. Consequently, in this case, the number of clothes that can be accommodated in the storage space is inevitably reduced.

[0174] Furthermore, since the hanger rod 64 is always lowered from the upper surface of the first chamber to the lower surface via the hanger support portion 62, the hanger rod 64 always inevitably occupies a predetermined space inside the first chamber 20. Furthermore, the power transmission between the driving portion 63 and the hanger rod 64 is a vertical structure, which inevitably occupies a large amount of space between the housing 10 and the upper surface of the first chamber 20.

[0175] In addition, since the hanger rod 64 is always located inside the first chamber 20 , it is difficult to divide and utilize the storage space in the height direction of the box.

[0176] Figure 2 An example of a clothes treating apparatus including the features of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 (a) and Figure 2 (b), the clothing processing device 1000 includes: a box body 130, including an inlet 139 on one side thereof; an upper panel 132, forming the upper surface of the box body 130; a first chamber 110, located inside the box body 130, and the clothes are accommodated in the first chamber 110 through the inlet 139; a second chamber 120, located inside the box body 130 and on the lower side of the box body 130, forming a space separated from the first chamber 110; and a first chamber upper surface 112, forming the upper surface of the first chamber 110.

[0177] In addition, the clothing processing device 1000 may include: a cutting portion 112a, which is formed through the upper surface 112 of the first chamber; a hanger portion 600, which includes a hanger 610 inserted into the cutting portion 112a, and a portion of the hanger 610 is located inside the first chamber 110; and a hanger arrangement portion 510, which allows the hanger 610 to be moved individually to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 through the cutting portion 112a.

[0178] The first chamber 110 (or clothing treatment chamber) may be a space for storing and caring for clothing. Specifically, it is a space for performing processes such as removing foreign matter from clothing, sterilizing clothing, removing odors, and drying clothing by supplying hot air. Therefore, the first chamber 110 may be referred to as a clothing treatment chamber.

[0179] In this specification, the first chamber 110 refers to the laundry processing chamber 110. In addition, terms including the first chamber in their names, such as the first chamber upper surface 112, the first chamber bottom surface 111, the first chamber back surface 113, the two side surfaces of the first chamber representing the first chamber left side 114 and the first chamber right side 115, etc., are used to represent the laundry processing chamber upper surface 112, the laundry processing chamber bottom surface 111, the laundry processing chamber back surface 113, the laundry processing chamber left side 114 and the laundry processing chamber right side 115, respectively.

[0180] A mechanical device for supplying hot air, steam, and fragrance for caring for clothes in the clothes treatment chamber 110 (or the first chamber) may be provided inside the second chamber 120 (or the mechanical chamber).

[0181] The hangers 610 may be arranged in a plurality. The hangers 610 may be arranged in parallel along any one of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction. Preferably, the hangers 610 may be arranged along the third direction in consideration of ease of access at the inlet 139.

[0182] The box body 130 may include: an upper panel 132, forming an upper surface; a base 131 (refer to Figure 3 ), forming the bottom; back panel 133 (reference Figure 3 ), connecting the upper panel 132 and the base 131 to form the back of the box 130; and two side panels, namely the first side panel and the second side panel, forming the two sides of the box 130.

[0183] An inlet 139 may be formed on one side of the box body 130 . A user may store clothes in the first chamber 110 through the inlet 139 .

[0184] The laundry processing device 1000 may further include a main door 200 rotatably provided on one side of the housing 130 to open and close the input port 139. The main door 200 not only serves as a door to block the input port 139, but also serves as a door to the input port 139. Figure 41 As shown, a so-called door-in-door configuration in which an auxiliary door 210 is additionally provided in order to provide a pressurizer inside the main door 200 may also be provided.

[0185] The main door 200 may include a main door inner surface 201 located in a direction of the main door 200 toward the input port 139. Furthermore, the main door inner surface 201 may include a door lining 220. The door lining 220 is in tight contact with the housing 130 along an edge of the input port 139 to seal the main door 200 and the housing 130. Here, tight contact refers to contact in a manner that prevents hot air and steam supplied to the first chamber and condensed water generated in the first chamber from escaping to the outside.

[0186] The door lining portion 220 may include a first chamber lining 221 disposed on the main door inner surface 201 corresponding to the first chamber 110 to seal the first chamber 110 ; and a second chamber lining 222 disposed corresponding to the second chamber 120 .

[0187] like Figure 39 As shown, the second chamber 120 may also be located at the lower portion of the entire bottom surface of the first chamber 110. In this case, the chamber front contact portion 118 (see FIG. 1 ) provided between the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 is Figure 39 ), the first chamber liner 221 and the second chamber liner 222 can contact the upper and lower sides of the chamber front contact portion 118 in parallel. The chamber front contact portion 118 may refer to the portion surrounding the periphery of the second chamber input port 125. Thus, the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 can be separated. With the chamber front contact portion 118 as a reference, the upper portion is sealed by the first chamber liner 221, and the lower portion is sealed by the second chamber liner 222.

[0188] Reference Figure 2 (a), the second chamber 120 may occupy a portion of the lower portion of the first chamber 110. In this case, the chamber front contact portion may include: a first front contact portion 1171 that separates the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 in the width direction (third direction) of the box body 130; and a second front contact portion 1172 that separates the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 in the height direction (second direction) of the box body 130.

[0189] That is, in the first front contact portion 1171 and the second front contact portion 1172, the first surface 1111 and the extended surface 1114 can be both the inner side surfaces of the first chamber 110 and the inner side surfaces of the second chamber 120, but a separation space is usually formed between the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 for heat insulation, so when viewed from the front, a front portion located between the first chamber 110 and the second chamber 120 will be formed.

[0190] The first chamber liner 221 may contact the periphery of the first chamber 110 including the first front contact portion 1171. That is, the first chamber liner 221 may contact a portion located between the case 130 and the first chamber 110.

[0191] The second chamber liner 222 may contact the second chamber 120 including the first front contact portion 1171 and the second front contact portion 1172. The first front contact portion 1171 may contact a lower portion of a portion thereof that is to contact the first chamber liner 221.

[0192] Separator gasket 223 contacts the space of first chamber 110 located to the side of second chamber 120. Separator gasket 223 can seal the remaining space to the side of second chamber 120, including a portion of second front contact portion 1172. When separator gasket 223 contacts the second front contact portion, it can contact the side of the portion in contact with second chamber liner 222. Separator gasket 223 and second chamber liner 222, however, are in contact on one side, so the gasket corresponding to this contacting side can be shared without requiring an additional gasket.

[0193] In such Figure 39 In the case shown, the spaces to be sealed are the larger of the two, but in Figure 2 In the case shown in (a), the spaces to be sealed can be considered as three, and therefore need to be sealed separately.

[0194] The main door 200 may include: a door lining portion 230, which is arranged on the inner surface 201 of the main door, and is used to guide the condensed water condensed in the first chamber 110 when it flows down the inner surface 201 of the main door and discharge it through the air intake portion 170 described later.

[0195] The door lining portion 230 may include a main lining 2301 located inside the first chamber lining 221 , and an auxiliary lining 2302 located inside the partition lining 223 .

[0196] On the other hand, since there is no extra space inside the second chamber liner 222 , condensation water will not be generated as long as condensation water does not enter from the outside of the second chamber liner 222 , and therefore, there is no need to provide a door lining.

[0197] The main lining 2301 may be configured to be inclined from the inner surface of the door toward the first chamber 110. This is to facilitate the flow of condensed water. When the main door 200 closes the inlet 139, the main lining 2301 may be inserted into the first chamber 110 by a predetermined distance. Figure 8 When the main door 200 is closed, the main lining 2301 may be more protruding than D1 which is the maximum vertical distance of the first bottom handle portion 1815 or the second bottom handle portion 1825 of the bottom cover portion 180 based on the inner surface 201 of the main door.

[0198] Preferably, the length of the main liner 2301 inserted into the interior of the first chamber 110 may be greater than D1 and may be less than D2 which is the minimum vertical distance between the first bottom through hole 1812 or the second bottom through hole 1822 .

[0199] On the other hand, the main lining 2301 may also be configured to be simply inclined from the inner surface of the main door 200, but in order to set the pressurizer 400 inside the main door 200, the lower part of the inclined surface of the main lining 2301 may include a first connecting port 2303 for communicating with the pressurizer 400.

[0200] In addition, the main door inner surface 201 may include: a door inclined portion 240, which is arranged at the upper part of the main door inner surface 201 and is configured to be inclined upward; and a second door communication port 2401, which is located at the upper part of the door inclined portion 240 and is used to communicate with the pressurizer 400.

[0201] The door inclined portion 240 may be configured to be inclined in a direction opposite to the main lining 2301. That is, when the main door 200 is closed, the main lining 2301 may be inclined toward the first chamber bottom surface 111, and the door inclined portion 240 may be inclined toward the first chamber upper surface 112. The first communication port 2303 may be formed by an opening between the inclined surface of the main lining 2301 and the main door inner surface 201. The second communication port 2401 may be formed by an opening between the inclined surface of the door inclined portion 240 and the main door inner surface 201. This is to provide a moving path for steam and hot air to circulate to the clothes pressed by the pressurizer 400 when the pressurizer 400 is located inside the main door 200.

[0202] like Figure 2As shown, the auxiliary liner 2302 may be provided to drain condensed water generated in the space formed between one side of the first chamber and one side of the second chamber through the air intake portion 170 .

[0203] The main door 200 may be rotatably coupled to the housing 130 via a door hinge 225 . Figure 2 (b) shows an example in which a first door hinge 2251 and a second door hinge 2252 are provided on the upper and lower parts of one side of the box body, and the main door 200 is connected by the first door hinge 2251 and the second door hinge 2252.

[0204] Reference Figure 2 (a), and Figure 39 Differently, the first chamber bottom surface 111 may be formed by a first surface 1111 and a second surface 1112 located lower than the first surface 1111 .

[0205] That is, the first chamber bottom surface 111 can be arranged in a stepped manner along the third direction, which is the width direction of the door. This is because, for accommodating longer-than-average clothing, such as long coats or dresses, the space between the second surface 1112 and the first chamber upper surface 112 is more advantageous than the space between the first surface 1111 and the first chamber upper surface 112, which is shorter due to the height of the second chamber 120. Therefore, the laundry processing device 1000 described in the present invention can have a stepped first chamber bottom surface 111.

[0206] In addition, the second chamber 120 may be located at a lower portion of the first surface 1111 .

[0207] The length of the first surface 1111 along the third direction may be longer than the length of the second surface 1112 .

[0208] The first surface 1111 may be connected to one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber 110 , the second surface 1112 may be connected to the other side surface of the first chamber 110 , and the first surface 1111 and the second surface 1112 may be connected via an extension surface 1114 .

[0209] The extension surface 1114 corresponds to the outer side of the second chamber 120 .

[0210] Condensed water flowing down the space between one side of the first chamber 110 and the extension surface 1114 and the space between the main lining 2301 and the second bottom cover 182 along the inner surface 201 of the main door will pass through the auxiliary lining 2302 and be discharged through the second air intake port 172.

[0211] Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air supply unit 700 and the steam unit 730 located inside the second chamber 120 are respectively shown.

[0212] Reference Figure 3 The clothing processing device 1000 may further include: an air supply unit 700, located inside the second chamber 120, to circulate the air inside the first chamber 110; an air suction portion 170, located on the bottom surface 111 of the first chamber and connected to the second chamber 120, to suck in the air inside the first chamber 110; and an air supply portion 150, located on the bottom surface 111 of the first chamber and connected to the second chamber 120, so that the air sucked in by the air suction portion 170 passes through the air supply unit 700 and is supplied to the interior of the first chamber 110.

[0213] The air intake portion 170 may include a first air intake port 171 and a second air intake port 172 located on the first surface 1111 and the second surface 1112 respectively, and the air supply portion 150 may include: a first air supply port 151 located on the first surface 1111; and a second air supply port 152 located on the second surface 1112 or the extension surface 1114.

[0214] The air supply unit 700 may include a heat exchange portion 740 for performing heat exchange with air drawn into the air supply unit 700. The air supply unit 700 may include an air intake duct 711 for drawing air into the first chamber 110 through the air intake portion 170; a supply duct 713 for discharging the air, dried at a high temperature by the heat exchange portion 740, into the first chamber 110; and a connecting duct 712 for connecting the air intake duct 711 and the supply duct 713, with the heat exchange portion 740 located within the connecting duct 712.

[0215] The heat exchange unit 740 may include a first heat exchanger E (or evaporator) that cools air drawn from the first chamber 110 to produce condensed water, and a second heat exchanger C (or condenser) that heats the air passing through the first heat exchanger E. As an example, the heat exchange unit 740 may be a heat pump. Therefore, in the laundry treatment apparatus 1000, the compressor P that compresses the refrigerant circulating between the evaporator and the condenser, and the expansion unit Ex that expands the refrigerant passing through the condenser, may be disposed outside the air supply unit 700.

[0216] In addition, the air supply unit 700 may further include a circulation fan 715 for circulating the air. The circulation fan 715 may be provided between the air intake duct 711 and the connecting duct 712. Figure 3As shown, it may also be located between the connecting pipe 712 and the supply pipe 713 .

[0217] The laundry treating apparatus 1000 may further include an aroma unit 750 for supplying aroma to the air in the first chamber 110. The aroma unit 750 may supply aroma to the inside of the first chamber 110 through an additional flow path, but may also be connected to the supply duct 713 and supply aroma to the air exhausted through the supply duct 713. Figure 3 FIG. 7 shows that the fragrance portion 750 is located behind the air supply unit 700 .

[0218] However, this is merely an example, and the fragrance portion 750 may be installed at any location capable of supplying fragrance to the first chamber 110 .

[0219] The water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 may be located in the front portion of the air intake duct 711. Preferably, inside the second chamber 120, the space where the air supply unit 700, the steam unit 730, etc. are located and the space where the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 are located may be provided with a tank module frame 129 (refer to Figure 9 ) to separate them.

[0220] The second chamber 120 may include a door 121 rotatably provided in the second chamber 120 to open and close a second chamber inlet 125. The second chamber inlet 125 is a portion of the front of the second chamber 120 opened to allow access to the chamber module frame 129.

[0221] That is, the second chamber inlet 125 may be formed to face the inlet 139 (or the box inlet) provided in the box body 130. In addition, the second chamber inlet 125 is formed to face the inner surface 201 of the main door when the main door 200 is closed.

[0222] The water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 can be detachably coupled to an inner door surface 121c of the door 121 that faces the interior of the second chamber 120. Specifically, when the door 121 is rotated and opened, the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 coupled to the inner door surface 121c are also rotated together and exposed.

[0223] As mentioned above, a second chamber liner 222 is provided between the compartment door 121 and the main door 200 , thereby preventing condensed water from falling between the compartment door 121 and the main door 200 .

[0224] Reference Figure 4A steam unit 730 for supplying steam to the clothes placed in the first chamber 110 may be provided inside the second chamber 120 .

[0225] Furthermore, the control unit 900 for controlling the movement of the hanger 600, the operation of the heat exchange unit 740, the compressor P, the circulation fan 715, the steam unit 730, and the various sensors may also be located within the second chamber. However, this is merely an example, and the control unit 900 may be located anywhere within the laundry processing apparatus 1000, as long as it is capable of controlling the movement of the hanger 600, the operation of the heat exchange unit 740, the compressor P, the circulation fan 715, the steam unit 730, and the various sensors.

[0226] Figure 4 , the control unit 900 is shown as being located at the rear of the second chamber 120 . However, the control unit 900 may be located at the base 131 , or between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 .

[0227] In addition, the rear panel 133 (see Figure 3 ) is configured as an auxiliary panel (not shown) separated from the back panel (133), so that when the auxiliary panel is opened, the control unit 900 is exposed and can be easily accessed. This is for maintenance.

[0228] The steam unit 730 may include: a steam generator 731 for generating steam; a steam heater 732 located inside the steam generator for heating water stored inside the steam generator 731; a steam discharge nozzle 737 for discharging the generated steam through the steam supply part 160; and a steam supply flow path 735 for moving steam by connecting the steam discharge nozzle 737 and the steam generator 731.

[0229] Water for generating steam can be received through the water supply tank 810. When the tank door 121 is closed and the water supply tank 810 is placed on the tank module frame, the water supply check valve 814 located at the bottom of the water supply tank 810 opens, thereby supplying water to the steam generator 731.

[0230] Figure 5An example of a partition 119 capable of dividing the first chamber 110 into at least one storage space is shown. The laundry processing apparatus 1000 may include: a housing 130 having an inlet 139 on one side thereof; a main door 200 rotatably mounted on the housing 130 to open and close the inlet 139; a first chamber 110 located within the housing 130, through which laundry is stored; a first chamber upper surface 112 forming the upper surface of the first chamber 110; and a second chamber 120 located within and below the housing 130, forming a space separated from the first chamber 110.

[0231] In addition, the clothing processing device 1000 may include: a partition 119, located between the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and the second chamber 120, and configured to be parallel to the first direction and the second direction, dividing the first chamber 110 into at least one accommodating space; and a moving drive unit 530, which moves the partition 119 along a third direction to adjust the size of at least one of the accommodating spaces.

[0232] The partition 119 may be located inside the first chamber 110 . In other words, the partition 119 may be located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the first chamber bottom surface 111 .

[0233] If the bottom surface of the first chamber 111 includes a stepped first surface 1111 and a second surface 1112 , and the height of the first surface 1111 is greater than that of the second surface 1112 , the partition 119 may be located between the first surface 1111 and the first chamber upper surface 112 .

[0234] In addition, the partition 119 is configured to face two side surfaces of the first chamber and is located inside the first chamber 110 .

[0235] Reference Figure 5 The partition portion 119 may include a partition wall 1191 configured to be in a flat plate shape parallel to the first direction and the second direction to partition the first chamber 110 into at least one of the receiving spaces.

[0236] The partition wall 1191 may be made of any material as long as it can partition the interior of the first chamber 110 and can move without bending or folding.

[0237] In addition, a partition wall shelf placement portion 1195 for placing a shelf may be included on one side of the partition wall 1191.

[0238] As mentioned above, in the conventional clothes treating apparatus, the clothes hanger rod in the form of a rod is configured to always reciprocate along the third direction at a fixed position in order to shake off fine dust or dirt through the reciprocating motion.

[0239] However, if the hanger rod is fixedly positioned within the first chamber 110, a partition wall cannot be provided to divide the storage space formed by the first chamber 110. This is because interference would occur between the fixed hanger rod and the movable false wall. While a false wall lower than the hanger rod could be designed, this would only be a simple partition and would be meaningless since steam and hot air can pass through the upper portion of the hanger rod.

[0240] therefore, Figure 5 In order to prevent interference between the partition portion 119 and the hanger portion 600 , an example is shown in which a plurality of hangers 610 can be driven independently.

[0241] Figure 6 (a) to Figure 6 (c) schematically shows an example of the partition 119 moving inside the first chamber 110 .

[0242] Figure 6 (a) to Figure 6 (c) illustrates the movement of the partition 119 using an example in which the first chamber bottom surface 111 is formed by a first surface 1111 and a second surface 1112 having different heights. Figure 39 As shown, the same description can be given even if the first chamber bottom surface 111 has the same height.

[0243] Figure 6 (a) shows an example of a partition 119 dividing the first chamber 110 into a first storage space V1 and a second storage space V2. The hanger unit 600 including a plurality of hangers 610 may be located at an upper portion of the first chamber. Figure 6 Although five hangers 611, 612, 613, 614, and 615 are shown in the figure, this is only an example, and even if there are other numbers of hangers, the movement of the partitions and the positional movement of the hangers based on this feature described in the present invention can be applied.

[0244] Figure 6(a) shows an example where the first storage space V1 includes three hangers 613, 614, and 615, and the second storage space includes one hanger 611. Because the partition 119 is located where any hanger 612 would be, any hanger 612 is moved between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132, out of the first chamber 110, to avoid interference with the partition 119. In other words, it can be moved outside the first chamber 110 and hidden from the user.

[0245] As mentioned above, at least one of the plurality of hangers 610 can be moved to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 through the hanger arrangement portion 510 to be described later.

[0246] In other words, at least one of the plurality of hangers 610 can be moved upward or downward of the first chamber upper surface 112 through the hanger arrangement portion 510 .

[0247] To this end, the cut portion 112a formed through the upper surface 112 of the first chamber may include a plurality of cut holes 1121 corresponding to the plurality of hangers 610 respectively, and the hanger arrangement portion 510 can move the plurality of hangers 610 individually to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 through the plurality of cut holes 1121.

[0248] Figure 6 (a) shows an example where the partition 119 is located at a distance L1 from one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber. L1 can be the position P1 where any hanger is located. Figure 6 (b) shows the situation that the partition moves from P1 to P2 where another hanger is located. To this end, the partition will move a distance of L2-L1.

[0249] In this case, the size of the first receiving space V1 will be reduced, while the size of the second receiving space V2 will be increased. That is, the sizes of the receiving spaces partitioned by the movement of the partition 119 may be variable.

[0250] Figure 6 (c) shows the situation where the partition 119 moves until it contacts the other side of the first chamber 110. Specifically, the partition 119 moves from position P2, where the other hanger is located, to position P3, where it contacts the other side. The distance moved is L3 - L2. In this case, because the partition 119 contacts the other side, the first storage space V1 disappears, leaving only the second storage space V2 as a single space. In other words, the size of the second storage space is the maximum size that the first chamber can form.

[0251] Therefore, the partition 119 can divide the first chamber 110 into more than one receiving space.

[0252] At this time, hot air and / or steam can be supplied only to the clothes stored in the first storage space. Differently, hot air and / or steam can be supplied only to the clothes stored in the second storage space V2. Therefore, the user can effectively use energy by effectively utilizing the space for storing clothes without wasting energy.

[0253] Figure 6 (a) to Figure 6 (c) shows an example in which the position of one end of the first surface 1111 is configured to correspond to the position of any hanger 612. That is, the partition 119 can also be configured to move only on the first surface 1111. This is because, as Figure 6 As shown in (a), when the partition is located at position P1, the length of the second storage space V2 along the first direction is greater than the length of the first storage space V1 along the first direction. This is because, in order to have a variety of storage space shapes, the partition 119 only needs to move on the first surface 1111.

[0254] For example, when the height of the first chamber bottom surface 111 is constant, based on the front, the partition is located at the hanger 611 closest to the left side of the first chamber 110 because there is no hanger in the second storage space.

[0255] In addition, the two hangers adjacent to the right side of the first chamber 110 do not need to move independently of each other. This is because if only one hanger is needed, then Figure 6 As shown in (a), it is sufficient to configure a partition. Therefore, since the space is already divided so as to include only one hanger from one side of the first chamber 110, there is no need to divide the space so as to include only one hanger from the other side of the first chamber 110. Therefore, on the other side of the first chamber 110, the hanger arrangement unit 510 can be controlled so that two hangers adjacent to the other side move simultaneously.

[0256] Figure 6 (a) to Figure 6 (c) shows an example where the partition 119 is located at the position (P1 or P2) where the hanger is located, that is, the position where the cutout hole 1121 is located or the position (P3) in contact with one side surface of the first chamber.

[0257] Figure 6 (a) to Figure 6(c) shows an example of a position where the hanger or the cut hole is located or an example where the partition 119 is completely moved to one side of the first chamber 110 as an example of a position where the partition 119 is moved.

[0258] Differently, the position to which the partition 119 is moved can be located anywhere within the first chamber 110. The partition 119 can be moved to the position where the hanger 610 is located or the position where the cutout hole 1121 is located. Furthermore, the partition 119 can be located between one hanger 610 and another hanger 610. This is because the spacing between hangers 610 is a design issue, so even if the partition 119 is located between hangers 610, if the spacing between the partition 119 and the hangers 610 is sufficient, the clothes placed on the hangers will not come into contact with the partition.

[0259] In addition, the partition 119 may also be located between a hanger 610 and one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber that is closer to the hanger 610 .

[0260] That is, the clothing processing device 1000 may include: a box body 130, including an inlet 139 on one side thereof; a main door 200, rotatably provided on the box body 130, for opening and closing the inlet 139; a first chamber 110, located inside the box body 130, for accommodating clothing in the first chamber 110 through the inlet 139; a first chamber upper surface 112, forming the upper surface of the first chamber 110; a second chamber 120, located inside the box body 130 and on the lower side of the box body 130, forming a space separated from the first chamber 110; a plurality of hangers 610, for placing clothing inside the first chamber 110; a partition 119, located inside the first chamber 110, is configured to be parallel to a first direction serving as a height direction of the box body 130 and a second direction serving as a depth direction of the box body 130, dividing the first chamber 110 into at least one accommodating space; and a driving portion, causing the partition 119 to move along a third direction serving as a width direction of the box body 130, or causing the plurality of hangers 610 to move to the inside of the first chamber 110 or to the outside of the first chamber 110 according to the movement of the partition 139, and the partition 139 can be located between one of the plurality of hangers 610 and another of the plurality of hangers 610.

[0261] Reference Figure 6In (a), after any hanger 612 is moved between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132, the partition 119 will be located at P1. In this case, longer garments can be stored and treated in the second storage space V2. Alternatively, the stored garments can be treated by supplying only steam and hot air to the second storage space V2.

[0262] Reference Figure 6 (b), for example, when the clothes to be processed are one long piece of clothing and one short piece of clothing or two short pieces of clothing, the user can use the clothes processing device 1000 after moving the partition 119 to the P2 position. If there are many clothes to be processed, it may be necessary to use all the first chambers 110, so Figure 6 As shown in (c), the entire first chamber 110 may be used after the partition 119 is completely moved to one side of the first chamber 110 .

[0263] Reference Figure 6 (a) to Figure 6 (c) shows an example in which a plurality of hangers 610 are arranged inside or outside the first chamber 110 when a partition is provided.

[0264] Even without the partition 119, if the plurality of hangers 610 can be individually moved to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110, the space in the first chamber can be utilized to the greatest extent. This is because, unlike the hanger rods of conventional laundry processing devices that are always located inside the first chamber, only a portion of the plurality of hangers located inside the first chamber 110 can be left as needed, while the rest can be located outside the first chamber 110.

[0265] For example, it is possible to process very large dolls or blankets. That is, it is also possible to process large dolls or blankets, and bedding to be dried.

[0266] Therefore, the laundry processing apparatus 1000 described in the present invention can have a plurality of hangers 610 individually positioned between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132. Furthermore, the laundry processing apparatus 1000 can include a partition 119 including a movable partition wall 1191 for variably adjusting the size of the accommodation space within the first chamber 110. Furthermore, the hanger unit 600 including the plurality of hangers 610 can reciprocate to shake off fine dust.

[0267] Figure 7 (a) shows the case where the bottom cover 180 is located on the bottom surface 111 of the first chamber. Figure 7(b) shows a state where the bottom cover portion 180 is removed.

[0268] The first chamber bottom surface 111 may include a first surface 1111 and a second surface 1112 having different heights from each other. The second chamber 120 may be located below the first surface 1111 .

[0269] The width of the first surface 1111 may be greater than the width of the second surface 1112 .

[0270] Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7 (b) shows the door 121 coupled to the second chamber inlet 125. The door 121 may include a first window 121a and a second window 121b extending through the door in a first direction. The first window 121a and the second window 121b are provided for confirming the water levels of the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820, respectively, which are coupled to the inner surface 121c of the door. This allows the user to open the main door 200 and directly confirm the water levels of the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 without having to open the door 121.

[0271] If the first window 121a is located closer to one side than the other side of the door 121, the second window 121b may be located closer to the other side than one side of the door 121. If the first window 121a can confirm the water level of the water supply tank 810, the second window 121b can confirm the water level of the drainage tank 820.

[0272] Reference Figure 7 (a) shows the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 being equipped with a first bottom cover 181 and a second bottom cover 182 for protecting the first surface 1111 and the second surface 1112. Specifically, the first bottom cover 181 can be positioned on the first surface 1111, and the second bottom cover 182 can be positioned on the second surface 1112. This is to reduce friction with the first chamber bottom surface 111 when the partition 119 moves in the third direction, thereby preventing damage to the first chamber bottom surface 111.

[0273] Therefore, specifically, the partition 119 may be located between the first bottom cover 181 and the first chamber upper surface 112 .

[0274] Reference Figure 7 (b) shows a situation where the first bottom cover 181 and the second bottom cover 182 are removed to expose the first surface 1111 and the second surface 1112 .

[0275] The first surface 1111 may include a first air suction port 171 for sucking air from the inside of the first chamber 110 , and a first air supply port 151 for supplying air to the inside of the first chamber 110 . Figure 7 (b) shows a situation where the first air intake port 171 is closed by a cover, but when necessary, the control unit 900 can open the first air intake port 171 by controlling the cover. The first air intake port 171 can be located closer to the inlet 139 than the first air supply port 151. This is because the circulation flow path is taken into consideration. That is, the air discharged into the first chamber 110 through the first air supply port 151 will change direction on the upper surface of the first chamber and move forward after rising in the first direction. At this time, a flow path will be formed in which a part of the air enters the interior of the main door 200 and a part of the air descends again in the first direction.

[0276] Therefore, the first air supply port 151 may be located further rearward than the first air intake port 171 .

[0277] The second surface 1112 may include a second air intake port 172 for drawing air from the interior of the first chamber 110. The second air supply port 152 may also be located on the second surface 1112. That is, the second air supply port 152 may be located further rearward than the second air intake port 172. However, in contrast, the second air supply port may also be located on the extended surface 1114 to simplify the air flow path.

[0278] In addition, refer to Figure 7 (a) and Figure 7 (b), the first surface 1111 and the second surface 1112 may be recessed toward the base 131. This is to ensure that when the first bottom cover 181 and the second bottom cover 182 are respectively combined with the first surface 1111 and the second surface 1112, the bottom surface is smoothly formed into a flat surface.

[0279] Figure 8 The first bottom cover 181 and the second bottom cover 182 are viewed from above. The first side 1111 may also include a first steam supply port 161 located behind the first side. Even with the first bottom cover 181, the first steam supply port 161 may be exposed. If the first bottom cover 181 is made of metal to minimize damage caused by the partition, this is to prevent the first bottom cover 181 from being heated by steam discharged from the first steam supply port 161.

[0280] Therefore, the first steam supply port 161 may be located at a non-recessed portion along the edge of the first surface 1111 .

[0281] In addition, the first steam supply port 161 may be configured in a nozzle shape to increase the steam discharge speed, that is, this is to increase the steam discharge speed by reducing the cross-sectional size of the first steam supply port 161 .

[0282] The first air supply port 151 may be located between the first air suction port 171 and the first steam supply port 161 along the second direction on the first surface 1111 .

[0283] In addition, the first air intake port 171 may be located closer to the input port 139 than the first air intake port 171 and the first steam supply port 161 .

[0284] The same applies to the second air intake port 172 and the second steam supply port 162 located on the second side. Considering the widths of the first side 1111 and the second side 1112, the width of the first air intake port 171 may be greater than the width of the second air intake port 172. Furthermore, the width of the first steam supply port 161 may be greater than the width of the second steam supply port 162.

[0285] The first bottom cover 181 may further include a first bottom handle 1815 , which is located between the inlet 139 and the first air inlet 171 and is formed by a recessed portion of the first bottom cover 181 .

[0286] Similarly, the second bottom cover 182 may further include a second bottom handle 1825 located between the inlet 139 and the second air inlet 172 and formed by recessing a portion of the second bottom cover 182. This handle is used to separate the first bottom cover 181 or the second bottom cover 182 from the first surface 1111 or the second surface 1112.

[0287] On the other hand, the first bottom cover 181 may include a plurality of first bottom through-holes 1812 formed through the first bottom cover 181 , and the second bottom cover 182 may include a plurality of second bottom through-holes 1822 formed through the second bottom cover 182 .

[0288] This is to guide condensed water generated inside the first chamber 110 to be discharged through the first air supply port 151 , or to smoothly inhale and discharge air inside the first chamber.

[0289] Figure 8 As an example, the plurality of first bottom through-holes 1812 and the plurality of second bottom through-holes 1822 are arranged in a rectangular shape having rounded corners rather than a circular shape and arranged in the second direction.

[0290] Additionally, the first bottom cover 181 and the second bottom cover 182 may further include a plurality of first bottom grooves 1813 and a plurality of second bottom grooves 1823, each configured as a concave, non-through shape. The number and arrangement of the first bottom through-holes 1812 and the number and arrangement of the first bottom grooves 1813 may be arbitrarily determined, and may also be provided with only the first bottom through-holes 1812 without the first bottom grooves 1813. The same applies to the second bottom through-holes 1822 and second bottom grooves 1823 in the second bottom cover 182.

[0291] The laundry treating apparatus 1000 may further include a fragrance portion 750 located behind the first surface 1111 and configured to supply fragrance to the air discharged into the first chamber 110 .

[0292] The aroma portion 750 may be located adjacent to both sides of the first steam supply port 161 , but this is only an example and the aroma portion 750 may also be located at other locations.

[0293] That is, the fragrance section 750 may include: a first fragrance kit 751, which is located on one side of the first steam supply port 161 along the third direction, supplying fragrance to the air discharged through the first air supply port 151; and a second fragrance kit 752, which supplies fragrance to the air discharged through the second air supply port 152 on the other side of the first steam supply port 161.

[0294] The first fragrance kit 751 and the second fragrance kit 752 may be inserted into and combined with fragrance setting portions (not shown) located on both sides of the first steam supply port 161 .

[0295] A front gasket 1192 a for sealing between the first receiving space V1 and the second receiving space V2 may be included in the front of the partition 119 .

[0296] Figure 9 (a) is a case where the water supply tank 810 or the drain tank 820 is mounted on the tank module frame 129. The tank module frame 129 provides space within the second chamber 120 for installing the water supply tank 810 and the drain tank 820, which are coupled to the chamber door 121. Furthermore, the steam unit 730 and the air supply unit 700 located in the second chamber 120 can be connected to the water supply tank 810 and the drain tank 820.

[0297] The water supply tank 810 is connected to the steam unit 730 to supply water required for generating steam to the steam unit 730. The water drainage tank 820 provides a space for draining and storing condensed water condensed in the heat exchange portion 740 or the first chamber 110.

[0298] The water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 differ in whether they include a water supply check valve and in their functions, but their shapes are very similar, so the description of the water supply tank 810 can also be applied to the drainage tank 820.

[0299] The door 121 is rotatably coupled to the second chamber 120 to open and close the second chamber inlet 125. Specifically, the second chamber 120 and the door 121 are hingedly coupled via a hinge axis disposed on the lower side of the second chamber 120 along the width of the second chamber 120. Specifically, the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 are detachably coupled to the inner surface 121c of the door. When the door 121 is closed, they can be placed on the tank module frame 129.

[0300] Due to the door 121, the water supply tank 810 and drain tank 820 of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 are not exposed to the outside, thus achieving a simple design. Furthermore, the user can check the water level through the first window 121a and the second window 121b simply by opening the main door 200. Furthermore, when the door 121 is rotated and opened, water can be supplied through the water supply tank cover 812 while tilting, even without completely separating the water supply tank 810 from the door 121.

[0301] In addition, a water supply tank 810 and a water drainage tank 820 may be combined with an inner surface 121c of the door 121 that faces the second chamber input port 125. Figure 9 (b) When the door 121 is opened, the upper sides of the water supply tank 810 and the drain tank 820 are exposed to the user. Specifically, when the door 121 is opened, the water supply tank 810 rotates and tilts together, exposing the water supply tank cover 812. Therefore, the user can still supply water to the water supply tank 810 through the water supply tank cover 812 without removing the water supply tank 810 from the door 121.

[0302] A filter unit 1712 may be provided inside the air intake duct 711 connected to the first air inlet 171 . The filter unit 1712 may filter out foreign matter including dust particles in the air entering through the air intake duct 711 .

[0303] The water supply tank 810 may include: a water supply tank body 811, whose top surface is open and forms a water storage space; and a water supply tank cover 812, which is combined with the top surface to form the lid of the water supply tank body. The water supply tank body 811 may include: a water supply main body 8111, which forms the outer shape of the water storage space except for the bottom surface; and a water supply bottom surface 8112, which is combined with the water supply main body 8111 to form the bottom surface of the water supply tank 810.

[0304] The water supply main body 8111 can be formed of a transparent material to be able to confirm whether water is stored, and the water supply bottom surface 8112 can be formed of a translucent or opaque material to avoid the complex structure of the water supply one-way valve 814 and the box module frame 129 from being seen.

[0305] The water supply bottom surface 8112 not only forms the bottom surface of the water supply tank 810, but also includes a side surface portion 8112c bent downwardly and extended from the periphery of the bottom surface of the water supply tank 810, so that the water supply tank 810 can stand upright on the external bottom surface.

[0306] The water supply tank 810 or the drainage tank 820 can be supported by the side surface 8112c and stand upright on the external bottom surface without falling. Even when the water supply tank 810 is stood upright by the side surface 8112c, the water supply check valve 814 will not be exposed to the outside.

[0307] The water supply bottom surface 8112 may include a water supply bottom communication hole 8112a connected to a water supply check valve 814 for supplying water. When the water supply tank 810 is installed in the tank module frame 129, the water supply check valve 814 connected to the water supply bottom communication hole 8112a is connected to the water supply flow path (not shown) connecting the water supply tank 810 and the steam generator 731.

[0308] A water supply check valve 814, which enables or disables water supply from the water supply tank 810 to the steam unit 730, is located at the lower portion of the water supply bottom surface 8112. When coupled to the inner surface 121c of the door, the water supply check valve 814 can engage with the flow connection portion 1293 to which it is connected, thereby supplying water when the flow connection portion 1293 is coupled to the tank module frame 129. Alternatively, the flow connection portion 1293 can be located within the tank module frame 129, and when the inner surface 121c of the door is rotated to close the second chamber inlet, the water supply check valve 814 can engage with the flow connection portion 1293, thereby supplying water.

[0309] Reference Figure 9(a) The water supply tank 810 may include a backlight 830 located on the back of the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 to illuminate the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820. The backlight 830 may be formed on the back of the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820, or may be provided on the tank module frame 129.

[0310] The backlight 830 allows a user to easily check the water level through the first window 121 a and the second window 121 b .

[0311] The backlight unit 830 may be provided by at least one LED (Light Emitting Diode).

[0312] Figure 10 (a) and Figure 10 (b) shows the water supply tank body 811 and the water supply tank cover 812 being combined and separated, respectively.

[0313] The water supply tank 810 may include: a water supply tank body 811, the upper part of which is open and forms a space for storing water; a water supply tank cover 812, which is combined with the upper part of the water supply tank body 811 to protect the upper part of the water supply tank body 811; and a water supply opening 8122, which is formed through the water supply tank cover 812 so that water can be supplied to the water supply tank body 811 from the outside through the water supply tank cover 812.

[0314] The water supply bottom surface 8112, which serves as the bottom surface of the water supply tank 810, may include a water supply bottom communication hole 8112a connected to a water supply check valve 814 for supplying water. When the water supply tank 810 is installed in the tank module frame 129, the water supply check valve 814 connected to the water supply bottom communication hole 8112a is connected to a water supply flow path (not shown) connecting the water supply tank 810 and the steam generator 731.

[0315] Reference Figure 9 (a) and Figure 9 (b) A water supply check valve 814, which can supply or interrupt water from the water supply tank 810 to the steam unit 730, is located at the lower portion of the water supply bottom surface 8112. When coupled to the inner surface 121c of the door, the water supply check valve 814 can be coupled to the flow connection portion 1293 to which the water supply check valve 814 is connected, thereby supplying water when the flow connection portion 1293 is coupled to the tank module frame 129. Alternatively, the flow connection portion 1293 can be located on the tank module frame 129, and when the inner surface 121c of the door is rotated to close the second chamber inlet, the water supply check valve 814 can be coupled to the flow connection portion 1293 to supply water.

[0316] Reference Figure 10 (a), the water supply tank cover 812 may include: a water supply tank cover top surface 812a, which forms the upper surface of the water supply tank cover 812; and a water supply tank cover back surface 812b, which is bent from the water supply tank cover top surface 812a and forms the back surface of the water supply tank cover 812.

[0317] A portion of the water supply tank cover top surface 812a can be tilted downward from the front toward the rear of the water supply tank 810. Thus, when the water supply tank 810 is rotated through the tank door 121, the water supply tank cover 812 is exposed to the user. Furthermore, the tilted portion of the water supply tank cover top surface 812a can be rotated to form a relatively horizontal surface relative to the user, making it easier for the user to access water through the water supply tank cover 812. This shape also applies to the water drainage tank 820.

[0318] The front side of the water supply tank cover 812 may include: a cover mounting and dismounting device 8121 for use in separating the water supply tank cover 812 from the water supply tank body 811 .

[0319] After the water supply tank cover 812 or the drainage tank cover (not shown) is completely removed from the water supply tank 810 or the drainage tank 820 by the cover loading and unloading device 8121, it can be cleaned.

[0320] For aesthetic reasons, the cover mounting and dismounting device 8121 may be located at the same height as the front surface of the water supply tank cover 812 and form a smooth surface, without protruding or recessing from the front surface of the water supply tank cover 812 .

[0321] When the user presses the cover mounting and dismounting device 8121, Figure 10 As shown in (b), the water supply tank 810 will be separated into a water supply tank body 811 and a water supply tank cover 812. Figure 10 (b) shows a situation where the first body hook coupling portion 8111a and the second body hook coupling portion 8111b for coupling the water supply box cover 812 to the water supply box body 811 are located on the front and back sides of the water supply box body 811 on the upper side of the water supply box body 811.

[0322] This is just an example, and the water supply box body 811 and the water supply box cover 812 can also be combined in other ways. In addition, the first body hook coupling portion 8111a and the second body hook coupling portion 8111b can be located at other positions.

[0323] That is, one end of the cover attachment and detachment device 8121 has a hook shape so as to be coupled with the first body hook coupling portion 8111a. In addition, one end of the back side 812b of the water supply tank cover also has a hook shape so as to be coupled with the second body hook coupling portion 8111b.

[0324] Figure 11 (a) shows an end surface where the water supply tank cover 812 is combined with the water supply tank body 811.

[0325] The water supply tank cover 812 serves as a cover to prevent foreign matter from entering the water supply tank body 811. In addition, water can also be supplied to the water supply tank body 811 through the water supply tank cover 812.

[0326] To this end, the water supply tank cover 812 may include a water supply opening 8122 located on the top surface 812a of the water supply tank cover. The water supply opening 8122 may be formed in a portion of the downwardly inclined portion connecting the top surface 812a of the water supply tank cover and the back surface 812b of the water supply tank cover. The same is true for the drain tank 820.

[0327] The portion where the top surface 812a of the water supply tank cover meets the water supply opening 8122 can be bent toward the inside of the water supply tank cover through the water supply opening 8122 to form a water supply tank handle 8124. The water supply tank handle 8124 can be configured as an undercut shape.

[0328] In addition, the water supply tank cover 812 may further include a water level sensor for confirming the water level of the water supply tank 810 . Figure 11 (a) shows a case where a float is used as an example of the water supply level sensor 813 provided in the water supply tank 810. The water supply level sensor 813 may include a contact detection unit (not shown) for notifying whether the float is in contact.

[0329] That is, with the water supply tank 810 or the drain tank 820 tilted, a user can supply water through the water supply tank cover 812. Specifically, if water is supplied through the water supply opening 8122, the water supply tank cover 812 supplies water to the water supply tank body 811 through a water supply tank cover communication hole (not shown) that communicates with the water supply tank body 811. The water supply tank cover communication hole can be located on the lower side of the water supply tank cover.

[0330] At this time, since it is difficult for the user to confirm how much water is supplied, it may be necessary to configure a water level sensor.

[0331] If the water level in the water supply tank 810 is low, the float will drop. If the water level in the water supply tank 810 is full of water, the float will rise. The float will contact the contact detection part located on the water supply tank cover 812, and a signal will be sent to the control part 900 indicating that no further water supply is required.

[0332] In addition, the control unit 900 may notify the user through a speaker or display that can be provided in the object processing apparatus, or the user's smartphone.

[0333] Reference Figure 11 (b) and Figure 11 (c) The steps for separating the water supply tank cover 812 from the water supply tank body 811 are described below. When the user presses the cover assembly and removal device 8121, the hook provided at one end of the cover assembly and removal device 8121 separates from the first body hook coupling portion 8111a. The hook provided at one end of the water supply tank cover back 812b, still located at a position corresponding to the second body hook coupling portion 8111b, engages with the second body hook coupling portion 8111b, allowing the water supply tank cover 812 to rotate around the hook provided at the water supply tank cover back 812b. As a result, if the water supply tank cover 812 is rotated, it will also separate from the second body hook coupling portion 8111b, allowing the water supply tank cover 812 to be separated from the water supply tank body 811. The reassembly process can be reversed.

[0334] Figure 12 (a) shows the position of the aroma section 750 and the position of the second air supply port 152. The aroma section 750 may include: a first aroma kit 751 located on one side of the first steam supply port 161 along the third direction, supplying aroma to the air discharged through the first air supply port 151; and a second aroma kit 752 located on the other side of the first steam supply port 161, supplying aroma to the air discharged through the second air supply port 152.

[0335] The first fragrance kit 751 and the second fragrance kit 752 may be inserted into and combined with fragrance setting portions (not shown) located on both sides of the first steam supply port 161 .

[0336] An additional flow path may be formed to supply the fragrance supplied from the first fragrance kit 751 and the second fragrance kit 752 to the interior of the first chamber 110. However, to simplify the flow path, the fragrance may be mixed with the air supplied to the first chamber 110 through the circulation duct 710 connected to the first air supply port 151 and the second air supply port 152, specifically, through the supply duct 713.

[0337] Figure 12(a) shows a case where the second air supply port 152 is provided on an extension surface 1114 extending the first surface 1111 and the second surface 1112 instead of being provided on the second surface 1112. Preferably, the extension surface 1114 may be provided in a direction parallel to the partition 119.

[0338] That is, the first air supply port 151 and the second air supply port 152 are formed on different surfaces, but can be arranged perpendicular to each other. The second air supply port 152 can also be located on the second surface 1112. However, in order to shorten the length of the flow path for supplying hot air and simplify the flow path, it is more advantageous to locate the second air supply port 152 on the extension surface 1114 rather than on the second surface 1112.

[0339] The partition 119 can also only move on the first surface. Therefore, even if the second air supply port 152 is located on the extension surface 1114 , there is no problem in supplying hot air to the second accommodation space V2 .

[0340] In addition, the fragrance section 750 can also supply fragrance through the first air supply port 151 and the second air supply port 152. The first fragrance kit 751 can be connected to the first air supply port 151, and the second fragrance kit 752 can be connected to the second air supply port 152. However, differently, the supply duct 713 can also be connected to the first fragrance kit 751 and the second fragrance kit 752 before being separated into the first air supply port 151 and the second air supply port 152.

[0341] and Figure 12 Similarly to (b), the partition 119 is located at a distance L1 from one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber ( Figure 6 In the case of P1) in (a), the partition 119 can partition the first chamber 110 into a first storage space and a second storage space.

[0342] Differently, the partition 119 can be moved to any position within the first chamber 110 along the third direction. Specifically, it can be positioned between hangers 610 to divide the first chamber into a first storage space V1 and a second storage space V2. Alternatively, the partition 119 can contact a side surface of the first chamber 110, thereby utilizing the interior of the first chamber 110 as a single storage space.

[0343] At this time, each accommodation space can be supplied with hot air, steam and / or fragrance through its own steam supply port, air suction port and air supply port.

[0344] That is, the first storage space V1 can be supplied with hot air, steam, and / or fragrance through the first steam supply port 161, the first air inlet 171, and the first air supply port 151. The second storage space V2 can be supplied with hot air, steam, and / or fragrance through the second steam supply port 162, the second air inlet 172, and the second air supply port 152.

[0345] On the other hand, the first steam supply port 161 can be located on the first surface 1111, and the second steam supply port 162 can be located on the second surface 1112 instead of the extension surface 1114. This is because, compared with supplying steam from the side, supplying steam from the bottom surface can more evenly supply steam to each receiving space.

[0346] Each of the compartments separated in this manner can be independently supplied with hot air, steam, and / or fragrance. This allows the user to use only the space they need, or to place different types of clothing in the compartments on either side and then set different treatment programs and times for each. This process of dividing the first chamber 110 into different compartments using the partition 119 and then independently controlling each of the air supply, steam supply, and fragrance compartments is referred to as dual air, dual steam, or dual aroma.

[0347] That is, the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 described in the present invention can be divided into spaces by the partition 119. If only one space is used to treat laundry by supplying hot air, steam, and / or fragrance, it can be called single care. If both sides of the storage space are used independently of each other, it can be called separated care.

[0348] If the first chamber 110 of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 is divided by a partition 119, the steam volume, steam supply time, hot air supply volume, and drying time can be set differently for each space. Therefore, the optimal steam volume and drying time can be set for each type of laundry. This saves time and money for the user.

[0349] As previously mentioned, if a divider 119 is used in a laundry treatment device, the spaces in the first chamber 110 can be divided and used. To supply fragrance to each space, multiple fragrance kits can be provided to supply fragrance to each space. To this end, the first fragrance kit 751 can supply fragrance to the first storage space, while the second fragrance kit 752 can supply fragrance to the second storage space. Since fragrance is supplied through the first air supply port 151 and the second air supply port 152 respectively, fragrance can be supplied to the separated spaces regardless of the position of the divider 119.

[0350] Figure 13 (a) to Figure 13 (d) shows an example of the first fragrance kit 751. The second fragrance kit 752 has the same form as the first fragrance kit 751 except for the different installation position.

[0351] The first fragrance kit 751 may be located in a fragrance setting portion (not shown) provided on a side of the first steam supply port 161 along a third direction from the first chamber bottom surface 111 .

[0352] Reference Figure 13 (d), the first fragrance kit 751 may include: a first fragrance body 7511, including an opening portion 7511a on the front side thereof, through which a pad 7511b containing fragrance is accommodated in the first fragrance body 7511; and a first fragrance cover 7512, which is rotatably coupled to the first fragrance body 7511 to open and close the opening portion.

[0353] The first fragrance cover 7512 may include a plurality of first fragrance holes 7513 formed through the first fragrance cover 7512. Aroma may be supplied from a pad provided inside the first fragrance kit 751 through the first fragrance holes 7513.

[0354] In addition, the first fragrance kit 751 may include: a first fragrance adjustment guide hole 7515, which penetrates the first fragrance cover 7512 at the lower part of the plurality of first fragrance holes 7513 and extends longer along the first direction; a first fragrance adjustment plate 7516, which is combined with the inner surface of the first fragrance cover 7512 to adjust the number of the plurality of first fragrance holes 7513; and a first fragrance adjustment handle 7514, which is located outside the first fragrance cover 7512, is combined with the first fragrance adjustment plate 7516 through the first fragrance adjustment guide hole 7515, and moves along the first fragrance adjustment guide hole 7515.

[0355] Reference Figure 13 (a) to Figure 13 (c) As the first fragrance adjustment handle 7514 is moved along the first direction, the first fragrance adjustment plate 7516 can cover the plurality of first fragrance holes 7513, so that the number of openings in the plurality of first fragrance holes 7513 can be adjusted thereby.

[0356] Therefore, even if it is the same fragrance, it is possible to supply fragrance to clothes by adjusting the degree of supplying the fragrance.

[0357] Reference Figure 14 and Figure 34When the partition 119 moves in the third direction, the hangers within the moving range need to be moved between the upper panel 132 and the first chamber upper surface 112 via the hanger arrangement portion 510. Therefore, if clothes are hung on the hangers that need to be moved between the upper panel 132 and the first chamber upper surface 112 via the hanger arrangement portion 510, there is a risk that the partition 119 or the hangers may be damaged.

[0358] In addition, if the first bottom cover 181 is not properly positioned and one side thereof is tilted, or the first fragrance kit 751 or the second fragrance kit 752 is not properly positioned and protrudes, the partition 119 may be damaged when the partition moves.

[0359] To prevent this, refer to Figure 14 The fragrance part 750 may include: a first fragrance setting sensor 7518 and a second fragrance setting sensor 7528, which are used to determine whether the first fragrance kit 751 and the second fragrance kit 752 are normally set in the fragrance setting part (not shown).

[0360] The first fragrance setting sensor 7518 and the second fragrance setting sensor 7528 may be configured as a reed switch.

[0361] Furthermore, the first fragrance cover 7512 and the second fragrance cover (not shown) may include magnets at positions corresponding to the first fragrance setting sensor 7518 and the second fragrance setting sensor 7528. If the first fragrance kit 751 and the second fragrance kit 752 are not set correctly, the current flowing through the reed switch will not change, and thus the control unit 900 may notify the user through a display or a speaker that the first fragrance kit 751 and the second fragrance kit 752 need to be checked.

[0362] In addition, the first surface 1111 may include bottom sensors 1111a, 1111b, 1111c, and 1111d at the portions corresponding to the four corners of the first bottom cover 181. Similarly, the bottom sensors 1111a, 1111b, 1111c, and 1111d may also be in the form of reed switches. In addition, magnets may be provided at the portions of the bottom surface of the first bottom cover 181 corresponding to the bottom sensors 1111a, 1111b, 1111c, and 1111d. Therefore, if any of the corners of the first bottom cover 181 is tilted, the control unit 900 may detect this and notify the user through a display or speaker of a message that the status of the first bottom cover 181 needs to be checked.

[0363] Reference Figure 34The hanger hook portion 682 provided in each of the plurality of hangers 610 may include a hanger detection sensor 359 for confirming whether a hanger is installed. Thus, if it is detected that a hanger is installed, the control unit 900 may notify the user through a display or a speaker that the hanger needs to be removed instead of moving the partition 119.

[0364] When the main door 200 closes the input port 139, the display (not shown) may be provided on the front of the main door 200. The speaker (not shown) may be provided at any position of the laundry processing apparatus 1000 as long as it can notify the user through sound.

[0365] Reference Figure 15 The laundry processing apparatus 1000 may further include: a space adjustment portion 910 located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 and in front of the first chamber 110 , detecting a user input to move the partition 119 .

[0366] If the partition 119 is moved by the space adjusting unit 910 to partition and use the interior of the first chamber 110 , clothes of different materials can be cared for simultaneously or clothes of different users can be cared for separately in one clothes treating apparatus 1000 .

[0367] Since the existing clothes treating device cannot separate the space inside the first chamber, different types of clothes cannot be cared for at the same time. Therefore, different types of clothes need to be distinguished and cared for separately, which takes a lot of time.

[0368] When the space adjustment unit 910 detects a user input, the partition 119 may move to the position P1 or P2 of any one of the hangers 610 or to a side surface of the first chamber 110 according to the user input.

[0369] Alternatively, the space adjustment unit 910 may be configured as one or more input buttons or a touch display capable of inputting one or more position settings. Through the space adjustment unit 910, the user may input at least one position to which the partition 119 may be moved, and then store and use the position.

[0370] That is, the user can arbitrarily set the position of the partition 119 .

[0371] Alternatively, in the clothes treating apparatus 1000 , the position of any one of the plurality of hangers 610 or the position of one side surface of the first chamber 9110 may be set to an initial default value.

[0372] Specifically, the space adjustment portion 910 may be located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 and in the first front cover 1361 provided in front of the first chamber 110. In the first front cover 1361, the space adjustment portion 910 may be configured as follows: Figure 15 The button form shown in (a) may also be configured as a touch form using a touch display.

[0373] Figure 15 (a) to Figure 15 (d) shows an example of five hangers as an example of a plurality of hangers 610. For convenience, the five hangers may be referred to as first hanger 611, second hanger 612, third hanger 613, fourth hanger 614, and fifth hanger 615, starting from the left. This specification uses an example of five independent hangers and five corresponding cutouts, but this is for convenience only and the number of hangers and cutouts is not limited to this.

[0374] Figure 15 (a) to Figure 15 (d) shows an example in which the partition 119 is moved to the position of any hanger or the position of any cutout hole 1121 where any hanger is located.

[0375] Therefore, refer to Figure 15 (a), the partition 119 can be located at P1 where the second hanger 612 is located or P2 where the third hanger is located, or can be located at P3 to contact one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber that is connected to the first surface 1111.

[0376] The reason the divider isn't moved to the position of the first hanger 611 is so that the divided storage space includes at least one hanger. Therefore, the divider 119 can be located at P1 or P2. Furthermore, the reason the divider isn't located at the fourth hanger 614 is the same as the reason the divider 119 isn't located at the first hanger 611: since the divided storage space only includes one hanger, there's no need to repeatedly partition the same space. Therefore, the divider can be moved directly from P2 to P3, which is one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber connected to the first surface 1111, without moving to the locations of the fourth hanger 614 or the fifth hanger 615.

[0377] That is, the partition 119 can partition the interior of the first chamber 110 into at least one accommodation space. This is because the partition 119 can also be located on one side to utilize the entire first chamber 110.

[0378] Furthermore, the partition 119 can separate the storage space into at least one hanger. Furthermore, the partition 119 can control the movement of two hangers 610 located near the first surface 1111, one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber, via the hanger arrangement unit 510. This will be described later with reference to the hanger arrangement unit 510.

[0379] However, this is merely an example, and the hanger array portion 510 may be arranged in a different method or structure.

[0380] The space adjustment portion 910 may move the partition portion 119 to a preset position to partition the space of the first chamber. Figure 15 (a) to Figure 15 (d) For example, five hangers are provided. To this end, the space adjustment unit 910 may include three adjustment units, namely a first adjustment unit 911, a second adjustment unit 912, and a third adjustment unit 913. This may vary depending on the number of hangers and is therefore not limited to three.

[0381] exist Figure 15 In (a), the current partition 119 is located at the position of the third hanger 613 among the five hangers. Therefore, the storage space separated on both sides can each include two hangers. If the user presses or touches the first adjustment portion 911, the partition 119 can be located at P2, which is the position of the second hanger 612.

[0382] Furthermore, if the user presses or touches the second adjustment portion 912 again, the divider 119 moves to P2, which is the position of the third hanger. Furthermore, if the user presses or touches the third adjustment portion 913 again, the divider 119 moves to P3. Of course, if the divider 119 is at P1, which is the position of the second hanger 612, the user can also directly move to P3 by pressing or touching the third adjustment portion 913.

[0383] In order to move the partition 119 along the third direction inside the first chamber 110, it is necessary to move a portion of the plurality of hangers 610 protruding into the interior of the first chamber 110 to the upper part of the first chamber 110, that is, between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132.

[0384] To this end, during the movement of the partition 119, the positions of the plurality of hangers 610 can be individually moved by the hanger arrangement portion 510. That is, the hanger arrangement portion 510 can move the plurality of hangers 610 between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132, or move them into the first chamber.

[0385] For example, the third hanger 613 is in a state of being moved from P2, which is the initial position of the partition 119, to the outside of the first chamber. At this time, when the user presses the first adjustment portion 911, the second hanger 612, which is located at the position P1 to be moved to, is first moved to the outside of the first chamber. When the partition 119 reaches the position P1, the third hanger 612 can be protruded again into the inside of the first chamber 110. Of course, the third hanger 613 can also be moved into the inside of the first chamber 110 immediately after the partition 119 moves out of the position of the third hanger 613.

[0386] If the partition 119 moves from the initial position P2 to P3, the fourth hanger 614 and the fifth hanger 615 can move to the outside of the first chamber 110 before the partition 119 moves. In addition, if the partition 119 reaches the position P3 or the partition 119 passes the fifth hanger 615, the third hanger 613, the fourth hanger 614, and the fifth hanger 615 will protrude into the inside of the first chamber 110 again.

[0387] Such movement of the hanger may be referred to as a pop-up hanger, and such movement may be achieved by the control unit 900 controlling the hanger arrangement unit 510 .

[0388] Figures 16 to 32 The driving unit 500 provided in the clothes treating apparatus 1000 described in the present invention has been described. The driving unit 500 moves the plurality of hangers 610 in various directions and moves the partition 119 .

[0389] For example, the clothes treating apparatus 1000 may include a driving part 500 that moves or rotates the hanger 610 .

[0390] The driving unit 500 may move the hanger 610 in at least one of the first direction (or the height direction of the box), the second direction (or the depth direction of the box), and the third direction (or the width direction of the box).

[0391] The driving unit 500 may be located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132. However, in contrast to this, referring to Figure 19 , the driving unit 500 may also be located inside the first chamber.

[0392] For example, the driving unit 500 may move the hanger in the first direction and the second direction.

[0393] Alternatively, the driving unit 500 may move the hanger in the first direction (or the height direction of the box), the second direction (or the depth direction of the box), and the third direction (or the width direction of the box).

[0394] The hangers may be arranged in a plurality. Therefore, the driving unit 500 may include: a hanger arranging unit 510 for moving one or more hangers of the plurality of hangers 610 in a first direction; a transport driving unit 540 for moving the hanger unit 600 in a second direction; and a reciprocating unit 520 for reciprocating the hanger unit 600 in a third direction.

[0395] Therefore, the clothing processing device 1000 may include: a housing 130, including an inlet 139 on one side thereof; a main door 200, rotatably arranged on the housing 130, opening and closing the inlet 139; a first chamber 110, located inside the housing 130, and storing clothing in the first chamber 110 through the inlet 139; a second chamber 120, located inside the housing 130 and on the lower side of the housing 130, forming a space separated from the first chamber 110; a hanger 610, on which the clothing is placed inside the first chamber 110; a partition 119, located inside the first chamber 110, configured to be parallel to the first direction and the second direction, and to divide the first chamber 110 into at least one storage space; and a driving unit 500, which moves the partition 119 along the third direction, or when the partition 119 moves, moves the hanger 610 to the inside of the first chamber 110 or the outside of the first chamber 110.

[0396] The laundry treating apparatus 1000 may include at least one of a hanger arranging unit 510 , a conveying driving unit 540 , a reciprocating unit 520 , and a moving driving unit 530 .

[0397] The laundry processing apparatus 100 may also include only a portion thereof. That is, this is because the four driving units 510, 520, 530, and 540 can operate independently.

[0398] Alternatively, the driving unit 500 may utilize only one driving motor to move the hanger unit 600 in any one of the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction, or to rotate the hanger unit 600 in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. To this end, the driving unit 500 may further include a device for linking the movements in the various directions or for limiting the movements in the remaining directions except for the movement in one direction, such as a clutch or a drive limiting device.

[0399] The driving unit 500 may include a movement driving unit 530 for moving the partition 119 , and a hanger arranging unit 510 for selectively moving the hangers to the inside or outside of the first chamber.

[0400] Figure 16 The figure shows an example of the hanger unit 600 and the driving unit 500. The clothes treating apparatus 1000 may include the driving unit 500 disposed between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 to move the plurality of hangers 610 or the partition 119.

[0401] The driving unit 500 may include a hanger arranging unit 510 for moving the hangers 610 in a first direction, a transport driving unit 540 for moving the hanger unit 600 including a plurality of hangers 610 in a second direction, and a reciprocating unit 520 for reciprocating the hanger unit in a third direction. Furthermore, the laundry processing apparatus may include a moving driving unit 530 for moving the partition 119 in the third direction.

[0402] Reference Figure 16 The laundry processing device 1000 may include: a box body 130, including an inlet 139 on one side thereof; an upper panel 132, forming the upper surface of the box body 130; a first chamber 110, located inside the box body 130, and the laundry is accommodated in the first chamber 110 through the inlet 139; a first chamber upper surface 112, forming the upper surface of the first chamber 110; a second chamber 120, located inside the box body 130 and on the lower side of the box body 130, forming a space separated from the first chamber 110; a cutout portion 112a, located at the first chamber 110 in the height direction of the box body 130 direction is formed by penetrating the upper surface 112 of the first cavity; a hanger portion 600, including a hanger 610 and a hanger support portion 605, the hanger 610 is inserted into the interior of the first cavity 110 through the cut portion 112a to place clothes, and the hanger support portion 605 is located outside the first cavity 110 and supports the hanger 610; and a reciprocating motion portion 520, which is located in a direction farther away from the input port 139 than the hanger portion 600 along a second direction which is the depth direction of the box body 130, so that the hanger portion 600 reciprocates in a third direction which is the width direction of the box body 130.

[0403] Usually, one side can refer to the front side.In addition, the clothes hanger capable of reciprocating motion is called a moving hanger.

[0404] The reciprocating motion part 520 may include: a power motor part 521, including a power motor rotating shaft part 522 configured to be parallel to the first direction, and utilizing a rotating magnetic field to rotate the power motor rotating shaft part 522; and a moving body part 526, which is combined with the power motor rotating shaft part 522 in a direction parallel to the power motor rotating shaft part 522 and the first direction, converts the rotational motion of the power motor part 521 into reciprocating motion in the third direction, and causes the hanger part 600 combined in a direction parallel to the second direction and the third direction to reciprocate.

[0405] Therefore, the power motor rotation axis 522 can be configured to be parallel to the first direction. That is, the rotational motion of the power motor part 521 can be converted into reciprocating motion by the motion body part 526 located below the power motor part 521 and transmitted to the hanger support part 605.

[0406] Reference Figure 16 The moving body portion 526 may be located behind the hanger support portion 605. That is, the reciprocating motion portion 520 may be connected to the hanger support platform 620 so that the hanger support platform 620 reciprocates in the third direction, and may be located in a direction farther from the input port 139 than the hanger support platform 620 along the second direction.

[0407] In other words, the reciprocating portion 520 and the moving body portion 526 may be vertically coupled, and the moving body portion 526 and the hanger support portion 605 may be horizontally coupled.

[0408] Therefore, the reciprocating portion 520, the moving body portion 526 and the hanger support portion 605 can be located in an L-shape between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132. This can reduce the space required to move the hanger.

[0409] Therefore, driving units for movement in other directions, such as a moving driving unit 530 , a transporting driving unit 540 and a hanger arranging unit 510 , may be further provided in the space between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 .

[0410] The reciprocating portion 520 may be disposed on the first chamber upper surface 112 , separated from the hanger portion 600 . Preferably, considering noise and vibration, the reciprocating portion 520 may be located behind the hanger portion 600 . Specifically, the reciprocating portion 520 may be located behind the hanger support portion 605 .

[0411] Here, the first chamber upper surface 112 refers to the case where the hanger portion 600 and the reciprocating portion 520 are located on the same surface. That is, when the hanger portion 600 and the reciprocating portion 520 are orthogonally projected onto the first chamber upper surface 112 along a first direction, the hanger portion 600 and the reciprocating portion 520 can be located at different positions spaced apart from each other.

[0412] The hanger support 605 and the reciprocating portion 520 may be located between the upper panel 132 and the first chamber upper surface 112 , and the reciprocating portion 520 may reciprocate the hanger support 605 in the third direction to separate foreign matter including dust from the placed clothes.

[0413] The foreign matter is filtered out by the filter unit 718 provided inside the air supply unit 700 .

[0414] The hanger support portion 605 may include: a hanger support frame 630, which supports the hanger 610 so that it can rotate; a hanger support platform 620, which guides the hanger support frame 630 and the hanger 610 to reciprocate in the third direction and move in the second direction; and a moving guide hole 625, which passes through the hanger support platform 620 and extends longer along the second direction.

[0415] The hanger support 620 can reciprocate in the third direction via the reciprocating portion 520. Therefore, when the hanger support 620 reciprocates, the hanger support frame 630 coupled to the hanger support 620 reciprocates, and as a result, the hanger 610 coupled to the hanger support frame 630 reciprocates.

[0416] The laundry treating apparatus 1000 may further include a conveying driving unit 540 configured to move the hanger supporting frame 630 in the second direction along the movement guide hole 625 , as the space occupied by the reciprocating unit 520 is reduced.

[0417] The transport driving unit 540 may be located on the hanger supporting platform 620 between the hanger supporting frame 630 and at least one of the two side surfaces of the box body 130 .

[0418] In addition, the clothing processing device 1000 may further include: a partition 119, which divides the first chamber 110 into at least one accommodating space; and a moving drive unit 530, which is located on the upper panel 132 and the upper surface 112 of the first chamber, so that the partition 119 moves along the third direction inside the first chamber 110.

[0419] Reference Figure 16 The moving driving unit 530 may be located between the hanger support platform 620 and at least one of the two side surfaces of the box body 130 .

[0420] In addition, the clothes treating apparatus 1000 may include a hanger arrangement unit 510 for moving the hangers 610 to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 .

[0421] Furthermore, the hanger support frame 630 may include a plurality of rotating support frames 632, each open toward the upper surface 112 of the first chamber, and having a U-shaped cross-section. Specifically, the rotating support frames 632 may each be an inverted U-shaped or a channel-shaped structure with one side open. Furthermore, the upper surface of the rotating support frame may be a curved plane, rather than a smooth U-shaped surface.

[0422] In addition, the hanger support frame 630 may also include: a movable support frame 631, which is arranged between multiple rotating support frames 632 to connect multiple rotating support frames 632, so that the hanger support frame 630 can be movably combined with the hanger support platform 620 in the second direction which is the width direction of the box.

[0423] Reference Figure 16 The hanger arrangement portion 510 may be located on a side of the rotating support frame 632 .

[0424] Figure 17 The figure shows a conventional clothes treating apparatus that causes a hanger rod 64 and a driving portion 63 for reciprocating the hanger rod 64 in the width direction of the housing.

[0425] Reference Figure 17 (a) The hanger bar 64 is arranged in a bar-like shape in the width direction of the box body. To accommodate clothing, the hanger bar 64 includes a plurality of hanger slots formed therein. Furthermore, the hanger bar 64 is supported by support rods 62 at both ends. When the hanger bar 64 is reciprocated by the driving unit 63, the support rods 62 can support the hanger bar 64 and reciprocate together.

[0426] The driving unit 64 may be located above or below the upper surface of the first chamber 110. The driving unit 64 may include a motor that generates rotational force, a rotating shaft that is rotated by the motor, an eccentric body that converts the rotation of the rotating shaft into eccentric rotation, and a motion conversion unit 69 that converts the rotational motion of the eccentric body into reciprocating motion.

[0427] Figure 17 (b) shows a side cut along EE'. Figure 17 (b) The motion conversion portion 69 has a slot or groove formed long in the depth direction of the box, and the rotational motion of the eccentric body can be converted into reciprocating motion. Thereby, the hanger rod 64 can reciprocate in the width direction of the box.

[0428] The drive unit 63 can be located above the hanger rod 64. Therefore, it can be seen that the drive unit 63 and the hanger rod 64 are located on a vertical line AS1. However, the length of the reciprocating motion from the drive unit 63 to the hanger rod 64 along the height of the housing will inevitably increase. Therefore, if the drive unit 63 is located below the upper surface of the first chamber, the length of the support rod 62 will inevitably increase, and the space occupied by the drive unit 63 and the hanger rod 64 within the first chamber, especially along the height of the housing, will inevitably increase.

[0429] If the driving portion 63 is located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 , the vertical combination of the driving portion 63 and the hanger rod 64 will inevitably increase the height difference between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 of the box.

[0430] Figure 18 (a) shows another example of the combination of a hanger portion and a driving portion (or a reciprocating motion portion). The reciprocating motion portion 580 generating a rotational force may include: a power motor portion generating a rotational force; an eccentric body 582 coupled to a power motor rotating shaft portion rotating at the center of the power motor portion through a magnetic field, coupled to the power motor rotating shaft portion, and rotating spaced apart from the power motor in the radial direction of the rotating shaft portion; and a motion body portion 596 converting the rotational motion of the eccentric body 582 into a reciprocating motion in the width direction of the housing 130 and transmitting the reciprocating motion.

[0431] Therefore, the hanger portion 6610 including a plurality of hangers will reciprocate in the width direction of the box through the moving body portion 596.

[0432] In addition, the reciprocating motion portion 580 may further include a motion guide 5961 for guiding the reciprocating motion of the motion body portion 596 . Figure 18 (a) and Figure 18 (b) shows that the movement guide 5961 is configured as a component adjacent to two corners on the front and back sides of the movement body part 596 to guide the movement body part 596 to reciprocate only in the width direction of the box.

[0433] Figure 18 (b) shows a side cut along line KK'. Figure 18 (b), it can be seen that the reciprocating portion 580 is located above the hanger portion 6610. That is, it can be seen that the hanger portion 6610 and the reciprocating portion 580 are located on a vertical line AS1. Figure 17 Similarly, the hanger portion 6610 and the reciprocating motion portion 580 are vertically coupled. In this case, since the force transmission path is shortened and the force is not applied from one side, it has the advantage of being able to withstand more structural mechanical deformation, but there is a problem of increased space occupied.

[0434] Generally, the reciprocating portion 580 may be located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 , and the space between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 becomes larger, but will not be effectively utilized.

[0435] Figure 19 (a) shows another example of the combination of the hanger portion and the driving portion 500 (or the reciprocating motion portion 520). The reciprocating motion portion 520 generating the rotational force may include: a power motor portion 521 generating the rotational force; an eccentric body 5253 coupled to a power motor rotating shaft portion 522 rotating at the center of the power motor portion through a magnetic field, coupled to the power motor rotating shaft portion 522 and rotating spaced apart from the power motor in the radial direction of the rotating shaft portion; and a motion body portion 526 converting the rotational motion of the eccentric body 5253 into a reciprocating motion in the width direction of the housing 130 and transmitting the reciprocating motion.

[0436] Therefore, the hanger portion 610 including a plurality of hangers will reciprocate in the width direction of the box through the moving body portion 526 .

[0437] In addition, the reciprocating motion portion 520 may further include a motion guide 5291 for guiding the reciprocating motion of the motion body portion 526 . Figure 19 (a) and Figure 19 (b) shows that the movement guide 5291 is configured to be parallel to the width direction of the box on the front side of the hanger part 600 and the back side of the movement body part 526 to guide the movement body part 526 to reciprocate only in the width direction of the box 130.

[0438] Figure 19 (b) shows a side cut along line FF'. Figure 19In (b), it can be seen that the reciprocating portion 520 and the hanger portion 610 are located at different positions. That is, it can be seen that the hanger portion 610 and the reciprocating portion 520 are located at different positions based on the first chamber upper surface 112.

[0439] That is, the hanger portion 610 and the reciprocating portion 520 may be located at positions spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the box body 130 or in the depth direction of the box body.

[0440] If the first chamber upper surface 112 is used as a reference for explanation, when the hanger portion 610 and the reciprocating motion portion 520 are orthogonally projected onto the first chamber upper surface 112 along the height direction of the box body 130, it can be seen that the hanger portion 610 is located at a first position on the first chamber upper surface 112, and the reciprocating motion portion 520 is set at a second position on the first chamber upper surface 112 that is different from the first position.

[0441] Reference Figure 19 As shown in FIG. 5( b ), the hanger portion 610 is located at a vertical line AX1 , while the reciprocating portion 520 is located at another vertical line AX2 .

[0442] Specifically, in the clothing processing device 1000, the clothes hanger 610 is arranged in a direction parallel to the rotating shaft portion 522 of the power motor, and may include: a reciprocating motion portion 520, which is spaced apart in the width direction of the box or the depth direction of the box, so that the clothes hanger portion 600 reciprocates in the width direction of the box 130.

[0443] Therefore, with Figure 17 and Figure 18 Differently, it can be seen that the hanger portion 600 and the reciprocating motion portion 520 are horizontally combined. Strictly speaking, it can be seen that the motion body portion 526 responsible for the motion conversion of the hanger portion 600 is combined at a different position, and the power motor portion 521 is located above the motion body portion 526.

[0444] In this case, the combined height H2 of the hanger portion 600 and the reciprocating motion portion 520 may be smaller than that of the vertical combination. Figure 18 The combined height H1 of the hanger portion 6610 and the reciprocating motion portion 580 is shown in FIG.

[0445] Typically, the driving unit 500 may be located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 . As a result, the space between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 may be used more compactly.

[0446] Alternatively, the reciprocating portion 520 and the hanger portion 600 may be integrally formed. Specifically, the moving body portion 526 and the hanger portion 600 may be integrally formed. Even in the case of an integral formation, the moving body portion 526 still functions to convert rotational force into reciprocating motion of the hanger portion 600 in the width direction of the housing 130 and transmit the rotational force.

[0447] Figure 20 (a) shows another example of a hanger portion 563 including a hanger rod 564 , wherein the reciprocating portions 560 for reciprocating the hanger portion 563 in the width direction of the box body 130 are spaced apart from each other with respect to the first chamber upper surface 112 .

[0448] That is, with Figure 19 Similarly, the hanger portion 563 and the reciprocating portion 560 may be spaced apart from each other in the width direction of the box body 130 or in the depth direction of the box body.

[0449] If the first chamber upper surface 112 is used as a reference for explanation, when the hanger portion 563 and the reciprocating motion portion 560 are orthogonally projected onto the first chamber upper surface 112 along the height direction of the box body 130, it can be seen that the hanger portion 563 is located at a first position on the first chamber upper surface 112, and the reciprocating motion portion 560 is set at a second position on the first chamber upper surface 112 that is different from the first position.

[0450] Reference Figure 20 (b) shows that the position of the hanger portion 563 is the position of the vertical line AY1, and the position of the reciprocating portion 560 is the position of another vertical line AY2. Even if the hanger portion 563 and the reciprocating portion 560 are located inside the first chamber 110, the space they occupy inside the first chamber 110, especially the height, will be smaller than Figure 17 Therefore, space can be used more efficiently. Figure 20 As shown, the rear space of the hanger rod 564 can also be utilized.

[0451] Alternatively, the reciprocating portion 560 and the hanger portion 563 may be integrally formed. Specifically, the moving body portion 576 and the hanger portion 563 may be integrally formed. Even in the case of an integral formation, the moving body portion 576 still functions to convert rotational force into reciprocating motion of the hanger portion 563 in the width direction of the housing 130 and transmit the rotational force.

[0452] Figure 21 Simply shows Figure 16 The laundry processing apparatus 1000 may include: a housing 130 including an inlet 139 on one side thereof; a main door 200 rotatably disposed on the housing 130 to open and close the inlet 139; a first chamber 110 located inside the housing 130, for receiving laundry in the first chamber 110 through the inlet 139; a second chamber 120 located inside and below the housing 130 to form a space separated from the first chamber 110; a hanger 610 for receiving laundry in the first chamber 110; a partition 119 located inside the first chamber 110 and arranged parallel to the first direction and the second direction to partition the first chamber 110 into at least one receiving space; and a driving unit 500 for moving the partition 119 along the third direction or, when the partition 119 moves, for moving the hanger 610 into or out of the first chamber 110.

[0453] Furthermore, the driving unit 500 may include a hanger arranging unit 510 for moving the hangers 610 in a first direction, a transport driving unit 540 for moving the hanger unit 600 including a plurality of hangers 610 in a second direction, and a reciprocating unit 520 for reciprocating the hanger unit in a third direction. Furthermore, the laundry processing apparatus may include a moving driving unit 530 for moving the partition 119 in a third direction.

[0454] The hanger 610 may be provided in plural. Figure 21 The following describes an example in which a plurality of hangers 610 are arranged. The position of the driving unit 500 is marked on the first chamber upper surface 112 with the hanger portion 610 including the hangers 610 as the center.

[0455] The reciprocating portion 620 may be spaced apart from the hanger portion 600 and located at another position. Preferably, the reciprocating portion 620 may be located at a position farther from the inlet 139 than the hanger portion 600 .

[0456] That is, the reciprocating portion 620 may be located at the rear of the hanger portion 600 . This is because, compared with when the reciprocating portion 620 is located at the front or side of the hanger portion 600 , it is more advantageous in terms of noise and vibration.

[0457] As mentioned above, due to the position of the reciprocating portion 620 , the height difference between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 can be reduced.

[0458] In addition, the transport drive unit 540 may be located on the side of the hanger 610 and on the upper portion of the hanger support 605. Since the transport drive unit 540 is ultimately required to move the hanger 610 along the second direction, which is the depth direction of the box, the relative distance between the transport drive unit 540 and the hanger 610 should not deviate.

[0459] However, whenever the hanger portion 600 reciprocates, the positions of the transport drive portion 540 and the hanger 610 may change. To prevent this, if the transport drive portion 540 also reciprocates when the hanger portion 600 reciprocates via the reciprocating motion portion 620, the relative distance between the transport drive portion 540 and the hanger 610 will be fixed.

[0460] Therefore, the transport driving part 540 may be located at a side of the hanger 610 and an upper portion of the hanger supporting part 605 .

[0461] However, this is only an example, and the transport driving portion 540 may be located at any position on the hanger portion 600 as long as it can reciprocate together with the hanger portion 600 .

[0462] The hanger arrangement unit 510 can move the hanger 610 in a first direction, which is the height direction of the box, to position the hanger 610 inside or outside the first chamber 110. If a plurality of hangers 610 are provided, the hanger arrangement unit 510 can move at least one of the plurality of hangers 610.

[0463] Figure 21 The hanger arrangement unit 510 is shown as an example in which the hanger arrangement unit 510 is located on one side of the hangers 610 and moves the hangers 610. However, this is only an example, and the hanger arrangement unit 510 may be located at a different position to selectively move only a portion of the hangers 610.

[0464] The hanger arrangement portion 510 may also be configured to reciprocate together with the hanger portion 600 to prevent the relative position of the hanger arrangement portion 510 and the hanger 610 from changing.

[0465] That is, the hanger arrangement unit 510 and the conveying driving unit 540 may be located on the hanger support unit 605 and reciprocate together with the hangers.

[0466] Finally, the moving drive unit 530 may be spaced apart from the hanger unit 600 on one side of the hanger unit 600 . Preferably, the moving drive unit 530 may be located at a position different from the positions of the reciprocating unit 520 and the hanger unit 600 to prevent interference with the reciprocating unit 520 .

[0467] Figure 21 The example in which the moving drive unit 530 is located away from one side of the hanger support unit 605 is shown. This is to prevent the hanger unit 605 from colliding with the moving drive unit 530 when the hanger unit 605 reciprocates.

[0468] Figure 22 (a) shows an example of a hanger arrangement unit 510. The hanger arrangement unit 510 can individually move a plurality of hangers 610 into or out of the first chamber 110 according to the movement of the partition 119. The hanger arrangement unit 510 can selectively rotate and move a portion of the hangers located within the plurality of cutouts formed through the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and within the position or movement range of the partition to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110.

[0469] That is, the hanger arrangement portion 510 can utilize a plurality of cut holes 1121 formed on the upper surface 112 of the first chamber, which are configured to correspond to a plurality of the hangers 610 respectively and pass through the upper surface 112 of the first chamber, to rotate and move each hanger between the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and the upper panel 132 or inside the first chamber.

[0470] Typically, the plurality of hangers 610 are located inside the first chamber 110. However, the hangers at the location of the partition wall 1191 cannot be located inside the first chamber 110. Therefore, the hanger arrangement unit 510 rotates the hangers at the location of the partition wall 1191 to move them outside the first chamber 110. Specifically, the hanger arrangement unit 510 moves the corresponding hangers between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132.

[0471] In addition, when the partition wall 1191 moves from a first position to a second position different from the first position, the hanger at the first position is moved again to the inside of the first chamber 110 after the partition wall 1191 moves, while the hanger at the second position needs to be moved to the outside of the first chamber 110 before the partition wall 1191 moves.

[0472] That is, the hanger arrangement unit 510 can move in the first direction by individually rotating the plurality of hangers 610. In other words, the hanger arrangement unit 510 can selectively position the plurality of hangers 610 outside or inside the first chamber 110 in the height direction of the housing 130, i.e., above or below the upper surface 112 of the first chamber.

[0473] Therefore, the hanger arrangement unit 510 needs to move the plurality of hangers 610 individually, and thus may be provided with a plurality of arrangement motors for moving the hangers that need to be moved individually or together.

[0474] For example, Figure 15 As shown, in the case of a clothes processing apparatus having five hangers and wherein the partition 119 can be moved to positions P1, P2, and P3, the hanger arrangement unit 510 includes two arrangement motors for respectively moving the second hanger 612 and the third hanger 613. In addition, the hanger arrangement unit 510 also includes one arrangement motor for moving the fourth hanger 614 and the fifth hanger 615.

[0475] That is, the number of alignment motors can be different from the number of hangers. Depending on the design, a separate alignment motor can be provided to move each hanger that needs to be moved. Hangers 610 that can be moved together can use a single alignment motor and share the same alignment motor rotation axis. This is a part that may vary depending on the design.

[0476] In addition, considering the relatively fast rotation speed of typical motors, the hanger arrangement unit 510 may further include a speed reducer (not shown) or a planetary gear unit (not shown) for reducing the rotation speed of each of the at least one arrangement motors. The speed reducer or planetary gear unit may also be located within the at least one arrangement motor. Alternatively, the hanger arrangement unit 510 may utilize a belt and pulley to connect the rotational shaft of each of the at least one arrangement motors to at least one hanger driven by the at least one arrangement motor, with different rotation ratios.

[0477] Figure 22 (b) shows a hanger support frame 630 supporting a plurality of hangers 610 and the hanger support frame 630 along a hanger guide rail 628 (refer to Figure 16) is an example of a transport drive unit 540 that is configured to move the hanger 610. The hanger support frame 630 may rotatably support one end of each of the hangers 610. Furthermore, the hanger support frame 630 may include hanger racks 635 formed at both ends of the hanger support frame 630 along a third direction thereof. The transport drive unit 540 may be coupled to the hanger racks 635.

[0478] If the transport drive unit 540 rotates to move the hanger racks 635 , the hanger support frame 630 disposed between the hanger racks will move in the second direction.

[0479] Figure 22 FIG. 5( c ) shows an example of a hanger supporting stage 620 and a reciprocating portion 520 that support the hanger supporting frame 630 .

[0480] The hanger portion 600 may include: a plurality of hangers 610 for placing clothes; a hanger support frame 630 for supporting the plurality of hangers 610 so that the plurality of hangers 610 can perform rotational motion and linear motion; and the hanger support platform 620, located between the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and the upper panel 132, supporting the hanger support frame 630.

[0481] Figure 22 (c) shows a hanger support 620 in the hanger portion, which is coupled to the reciprocating portion 520 and enables the hanger portion 600 to reciprocate in the third direction.

[0482] Figure 22 (d) shows an example of a moving drive unit 530 that moves the partition wall 1191. The moving drive unit 530 can be coupled to the first chamber upper surface 112 via an interference prevention groove 629 recessed in one side of the hanger support 620. R1, the recessed length of the interference prevention groove along the third direction, can be greater than T1, the length of the moving motor support portion supporting the moving motor 531 provided on the moving drive unit 530 along the third direction.

[0483] This is to prevent the hanger support 620 from interfering with the moving drive unit 530 when the hanger support 620 reciprocates along the third direction.

[0484] Figure 22The moving drive unit 530 shown in (d) may include: a moving member 535 for moving the partition wall 1191 along a third direction; moving guide units 6321, 4323, 5331, 5333 for moving the moving member 535 along the third direction; and a moving motor 531 and a moving gear unit 536 for rotating the moving guide unit 532.

[0485] However, this is only an example, and as long as the moving driving unit 530 can move the partition wall 1191 along the third direction, the moving driving unit 530 may be replaced by other methods or other structural elements.

[0486] Figures 23 to 25 An example of the hanger array portion 510 is specifically described. Figure 23 It shows a situation where a hanger is lifted to the upper part of the first chamber upper surface 112 through the hanger arrangement portion 510 .

[0487] The first chamber 110 may include a cutout portion 112a formed through the upper surface 112 of the first chamber. The cutout portion 112a may include a plurality of cutout holes 1121 ( Figure 27 ), a plurality of the cutout holes 1121 may be formed through the first chamber upper surface 112 corresponding to each position of the plurality of hangers 610 .

[0488] In addition, the hanger portion 600 may include a plate-shaped hanger support platform 620 located between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 for supporting the hanger portion 600 .

[0489] In addition, the hanger support platform 620 may include: a plurality of moving guide holes 625 (refer to Figure 22 (d)) is located at a position corresponding to the plurality of cut holes 1121, passes through the hanger support platform 620, and extends along the second direction.

[0490] That is, the hanger support platform 620 may be located between the upper surface of the first chamber and the upper panel 132 , and the hanger support frame 630 may be located on the hanger support platform 620 .

[0491] Therefore, the plurality of hangers 610 can be movably coupled to the hanger support frame 630 and moved through the hanger arrangement portion 510 and through the plurality of movement guide holes 625 and the plurality of cutout holes to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110. This is similar to the principle of an aircraft landing gear. That is, the plurality of hangers 610 can be individually positioned inside the first chamber only when needed.

[0492] That is, the hanger arrangement unit 510 can move the hangers 610 individually along the first direction to the upper portion or the lower portion of the first chamber upper surface 112 based on the first chamber upper surface 112 .

[0493] To this end, the hanger arrangement unit 510 may include an arrangement motor unit 511 having at least one arrangement motor 5111, 5112, or 5113. This is because, as previously described, all of the plurality of hangers 610 may not need to be moved individually. The number of arrangement motor units 511 required to move hangers located within the partition 119 or within the area where the partition 119 moves may vary depending on the design.

[0494] Right now, Figure 23 As an example, a hanger unit including five hangers 611, 612, 613, 654, and 615 and an alignment motor unit 511 including three alignment motors 5111, 5112, and 5113 are shown. Thus, the first alignment motor 5111 can rotate the second hanger 612. The second alignment motor 5112 can rotate the third hanger 613. Furthermore, the third alignment motor 5113 can simultaneously rotate the fourth and fifth hangers 614 and 615.

[0495] That is, the arrangement motor rotating shafts 5111a, 5111b, 5111c provided in the arrangement motors 5111, 5112, 5113 and rotated by the arrangement motors 5111, 5112, 5113 can be combined with at least one of the plurality of hangers, so that at least one of the hangers is rotated and moved to the outside or inside of the first chamber 110.

[0496] The hanger support frame 630 may be configured to have a plurality of shapes formed by repeated square wave shapes, which may also be called a meander line shape or a concave-convex shape.

[0497] The hanger support frame 630 may be formed such that its length along the third direction is greater than its length along the second direction, that is, the hanger support frame 630 may be formed to be longer along the width direction of the box body 130 .

[0498] The hanger support frame 630 may include a plurality of rotating support frames 632, each open toward the upper surface 112 of the first chamber, and having a U-shaped cross-section. Specifically, the rotating support frames 632 may each be an inverted U-shaped or a channel-shaped structure with one side open. Furthermore, the upper surface of the rotating support frame may be a curved plane rather than a smooth U-shaped surface.

[0499] In addition, the hanger support frame 630 may also include: a movable support frame 631, which is arranged between multiple rotating support frames 632 to connect multiple rotating support frames 632, so that the hanger support frame 630 can be movably combined with the hanger support platform 620 in the second direction which is the width direction of the box body 130.

[0500] The movable support frame 631 can be connected to the hanger support platform 620 to enable the hanger support frame 630 to move along the second direction. To this end, the hanger portion 600 can further include: a hanger guide rail 628, which is arranged between the movable guide holes 625 to guide the hanger support frame 630 to move along the depth direction of the box body 130. The movable support frame 631 can have a groove recessed along the second direction for the hanger guide rail 628 to be inserted.

[0501] The hanger guide rail 628 can guide the hanger support frame 630 when it is moved toward or away from the input port 139 by the transport drive unit 540. The hanger guide rail 628 can also be configured in plurality to achieve more stable guidance.

[0502] The movable support frame 631 may be connected to a plurality of the rotating support frames 632 to integrally form the hanger support frame 630 .

[0503] The hanger support frame 630 may further include hanger racks 6351 and 6352 at both ends of the hanger support frame 630 .

[0504] The hanger support frame 630 may further include a first hanger rack 6351 and a second hanger rack 6352 provided at both ends of the hanger support frame 630. In addition, the hanger support frame 630 may further include a movable support frame 631 between the first hanger rack 6351 and one of the plurality of rotating support frames 632 that is closest to the first hanger rack 6351, and between the second hanger rack 6352 and another of the plurality of rotating support frames 632 that is closest to the second hanger rack 6352.

[0505] Therefore, the movable support frame 631 may connect the plurality of the rotating support frames 632 and the hanger racks 6351 and 6352 , and as a result, the hanger support frame 630 may be formed in a square wave shape or a meander line shape.

[0506] At least one alignment motor 5111, 5112, 5113 may be located between at least one of the plurality of rotation support frames 632. That is, at least one alignment motor 5111, 5112, 5113 may be provided on one side of the rotation support frame 632 into which the hanger to be rotated is inserted.

[0507] The respective arrangement motor rotating shafts 5111a, 5111b, 5111c included in at least one arrangement motor 5111, 5112, 5113 can be combined with a hanger that passes through one side of the rotation support frame 632 along the second direction and is inserted into the interior of the rotation support frame 632 to be connected to the hanger to be rotated by the hanger arrangement part 510.

[0508] For example, refer to Figure 23 、 Figure 24 (a) and Figure 24 (b) shows the first alignment motor's rotating shaft inserted through a side of the rotation support frame into which the second hanger 612 is mounted, and connected to the second hanger 612, thereby coupling the first alignment motor 5111 and the second hanger 612. Furthermore, the first alignment motor 5111 is shown rotating and moving the second hanger 612 to the upper portion of the first chamber upper surface 112.

[0509] The second arrangement motor rotation shaft is shown to be inserted through a side of the rotation support frame of the third hanger 613 and connected to the third hanger 613. The second arrangement motor 5112 is also shown to be rotating and moving the second hanger 612 to the lower portion of the first chamber upper surface 112.

[0510] exist Figure 23 In the embodiment, since the first hanger 611 is not located at the position where the partition 119 is located or within the moving range, no additional arrangement motor is provided.

[0511] As previously mentioned, the fourth hanger 614 and the fifth hanger 615 can move together, and thus the third arrangement motor rotation shaft is shown as penetrating both sides of the rotation support frame into which the fourth hanger 614 is inserted and one side of the rotation support frame into which the fifth hanger 615 is inserted, thereby connecting to the fourth hanger 614 and the fifth hanger 615. Furthermore, the third arrangement motor 5113 is shown as rotating and moving the fourth hanger 614 and the fifth hanger 615 to the lower portion of the first chamber upper surface 112.

[0512] Therefore, the hanger array portion 510 may be coupled to the hanger support frame 630 to selectively rotate the hangers 610 toward the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 to move.

[0513] In particular, the hanger arrangement portion 510 can be connected to at least one hanger, at least one of which is located in a plurality of the cut holes 1121 and at least a portion of which includes at least one cut hole in the portion facing the first surface 1111 from the upper surface 112 of the first chamber.

[0514] In addition, the number of the at least one arrangement motor included in the hanger arrangement portion 510 may be different from the number of the at least one hanger.

[0515] This is because the two hangers located on the side closest to the box body can rotate and move together.

[0516] Therefore, the number of the plurality of cutout holes 1121 is the same as the number of the plurality of hangers 610. This is because they correspond one-to-one with each other. In addition, the positions of the plurality of cutout holes 1121 are the same as the positions of the plurality of hangers 610. This is because each of the plurality of hangers 610 is inserted into the plurality of cutout holes 1121 in a one-to-one manner.

[0517] In addition, the number of the plurality of rotating support frames 632 supporting the plurality of hangers 610 will also be the same.

[0518] However, the number of at least one hanger among the plurality of hangers 610 connected to the hanger arranging portion 510 and moved to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 may be equal to or greater than the number of at least one arranging motor 5111 , 5112 , 5113 .

[0519] Figure 24 (c) shows the hanger support frame 630, the hanger portion 600, and the transport drive unit 540 as viewed from a side. The transport drive unit 540 can be connected to the hanger rack, so that the hanger support frame 630 is guided by the plurality of movement guide holes 625 and the plurality of cutout holes 1121 to move in the second direction.

[0520] Reference Figure 23 and Figure 24 (c), the transport drive unit 540 may include: a first hanger rack 6351, which is arranged at both ends of the hanger support frame 630 and extends along the second direction; and a first transport drive unit 541 and a second transport drive unit 542, which are respectively used to connect with the second hanger rack 6352.

[0521] The first hanger rack 6351 may be located at one end of the hanger support frame 630 and extend rearward along the second direction from the hanger support frame 630. The first hanger rack 6351 may be located at one end of the hanger support frame 630 and extend rearward along the second direction from the hanger support frame 630.

[0522] The first conveying drive unit 541 may include: a first conveying motor 5411 that generates a rotational force to move the hanger support frame 630; a first conveying motor rotating shaft 5412 that is provided on the first conveying motor 5411 and rotates; and a first conveying gear 5415 that is connected to the first conveying motor rotating shaft 5412 and is combined with the first hanger rack 6351.

[0523] In addition, the second conveying driving unit 542 may include: a second conveying motor 5421 that generates a rotational force to move the hanger supporting frame 630; a second conveying motor rotating shaft 5422 that is provided on the second conveying motor 5421 and rotates; and a second conveying gear 5425 that is connected to the second conveying motor rotating shaft 5422 and is combined with the second hanger rack 6352.

[0524] That is, the transport driving unit 540 may move the hanger support frame 630 toward or away from the input port 139 using a principle similar to that of a rack and pinion.

[0525] Considering the relatively high rotation speeds of typical motors, the transport drive unit 540 may further include a speed reducer (not shown) or a planetary gear unit (not shown) for reducing the rotation speed of each of the at least one transport motors. The speed reducer or planetary gear unit may also be located within the at least one transport motor. Alternatively, the transport drive unit 540 may utilize belts and pulleys to connect the transport motor rotation shaft of each of the at least one transport motors to the hanger unit 600 driven by the at least one transport motor, with varying rotation ratios.

[0526] Although the transport driving unit 540 is shown as being provided on both sides of the hanger support frame 630 , this is merely an example, and may be provided on one side of the hanger support frame 630 to move the hanger support frame 630 .

[0527] The hanger portion 600 may further include a hanger guide rail 628 for stably guiding the hanger support frame 630 when the transport drive unit 540 moves the hanger support frame 630 on the hanger support platform 620. The hanger guide rail 628 may be inserted into a groove located at the bottom of the movable support frame 631 to allow the hanger support frame 630 to move more stably.

[0528] Figure 25 (a) to Figure 25(d) illustrates the operation between the partition 119 and the hanger arrangement unit 510. To briefly describe the operation, the driving unit 500 can move the hanger 610 to the outside or inside of the first chamber 110 according to the position of the partition 119.

[0529] The laundry processing apparatus 1000 may further include a driving unit 500 for moving the partition 119 along a third direction, which is a width direction of the housing 130 , or for moving the hanger 610 to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 according to the movement of the partition 119 .

[0530] Figure 25 As one embodiment, the partition 119 is arranged at the position where the hanger 610 is located, and the hanger 610 is moved to the outside of the first chamber 610. Alternatively, the driving unit 500 may move the hanger 610 to the inside of the first chamber 110 while or after the partition 119 is moved from the position where the hanger 610 is located to another position.

[0531] Different from this, the partition 119 can not only be moved to the position where the hanger 610 or the cutout hole 1121 is located, but also can be moved between any hanger and another hanger 610 or between a hanger and a side surface of the first chamber 110 .

[0532] Figure 25 (a) shows that when the partition 119 is disposed at a position where any hanger is located, the driving unit 500 moves any hanger to the outside of the first chamber 110 through the cutout 112 a .

[0533] Strictly speaking, before the partition 119 is disposed at the position of any hanger, the driving unit 500 can move any hanger to the outside of the first chamber 110 through the cutout 112 a .

[0534] When the control unit 900 detects the input of the position (first position) where the partition 119 will be located through the space adjustment unit 910, the driving unit 500 moves any one of the hangers set at the position (first position) where the partition 119 will be located to the outside of the first chamber 110, and then moves the partition 119 to the position where any one of the hangers is located.

[0535] Furthermore, when the control unit 900 detects an input indicating that the partition 119 is to be located at another position (the second position) through the space adjustment unit 910, the driving unit 500 moves the other hanger to the outside of the first chamber 110 and then moves the partition 119 to the position of the other hanger in order to move the partition 119 to the position of the other hanger. Furthermore, the driving unit 500 moves any hanger originally located at the first position to the inside of the first chamber 110.

[0536] A detailed description thereof is as follows.

[0537] The first chamber upper surface 112 may include a plurality of cutout holes 1121 formed through the first chamber upper surface 112 .

[0538] The plurality of cutout holes 11211 may include a plurality of hanger holes 11211 for inserting the plurality of hangers 610. The hanger holes 11211 may be configured to cause the plurality of hangers 610 to reciprocate along the third direction or move upward or downward along the first direction of the first chamber upper surface 112 via the driving unit 500.

[0539] Therefore, the width of the hanger hole 11211 in the third direction may be greater than twice the amplitude of the reciprocating motion of the hanger 610 , so that each hanger 610 can reciprocate along the third direction.

[0540] The hanger hole 11211 may be in a quadrilateral shape. In addition, the hanger hole 11211 may be larger than the outer shape of a plurality of hangers.

[0541] However, the hanger hole portion 11211 may also be configured in other forms. For example, the plurality of cutout holes 1121 may be configured in a "T" shape.

[0542] This is to take into account that the plurality of hangers 610 pass through the plurality of cut holes 1121 by rotating.

[0543] That is, the plurality of cutout holes 1121 may further include linear hole portions 11212 formed along the second direction in the hanger hole portion 11211 , respectively.

[0544] That is, the linear hole portion 11212 and the hanger hole portion 11211 refer to a portion of a cut hole, and thus the linear hole portion 11212 and the hanger hole portion 11211 may be adjacent to and communicate with each other.

[0545] The linear hole portion 11212 can be used when the hanger inserted into the corresponding movement guide hole 625 moves toward or away from the input port.

[0546] The hanger hole 11211 can be used to cause the corresponding hanger to reciprocate in the third direction, as described below. Therefore, the length of the hanger hole 11211 in the third direction can be greater than twice the amplitude of movement of each of the plurality of hangers during reciprocal movement. Here, the amplitude refers to the maximum distance a hanger can move to one side from the center of the hanger hole 11211 during reciprocal movement.

[0547] However, the plurality of cutouts 1121 may be configured in other shapes. The "T" shape is a shape that takes into account the following situation: after the plurality of hangers 610 move toward the inlet, they are rotated by the hanger arrangement unit 510 to move toward the inside or outside of the first chamber 110.

[0548] Alternatively, if the hangers 610 are rotated in situ by the hanger arrangement unit 510 to move toward or toward the first chamber 110, the shapes of the cutouts 1121 can be changed. For example, the cutouts 1121 can be in a simple quadrilateral or an I-shape.

[0549] Figure 25 (a) is when the main door 200 is open and the partition 119 is located in the middle of the plurality of cutouts along the third direction. In this state, the hanger arrangement unit 510 moves the hangers located at the partition 119 through the corresponding cutout 1121 and the movement guide holes 625 to the upper portion of the first chamber 110, that is, between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132.

[0550] In addition, the remaining hangers are in a state of being moved forward inside the first chamber 110 by the transport driving unit 540 .

[0551] The laundry processing apparatus 1000 can move the hanger 600 toward the inlet 139 depending on whether the main door 200 is open. Specifically, when the main door 200 is open, the transport drive 540 can move the hanger 600 toward the inlet 139. This allows the user to easily place the laundry.

[0552] Then, when the main door 200 is closed, the transport driving unit 540 can move the hanger unit 600 to its original position, that is, the position of the hanger hole 11211. This is to cope with the reciprocating motion.

[0553] Reference Figure 33 (b) Whether the hanger arrangement portion 510 can move in the third direction will also vary depending on whether the main door 200 is open. That is, when the main door 200 is open, the partition 119 is movable, while when the main door 200 is closed, the position of the partition 119 may be fixed at the position set when the main door 200 was open.

[0554] Since the main door 200 may also be in reciprocating motion when it is closed, this is to prevent the hanger portion 600 from colliding with the partition portion 119 and being damaged during the reciprocating motion in the third direction.

[0555] Therefore, when the user opens the main door 200 , the user can divide the space of the first chamber 110 into a desired size through the space adjustment portion 910 located on the first front cover 1361 .

[0556] Figure 25 (b) and Figure 25 (c) shows a situation in which, when the user selects the target position of the partition 119 through the space adjustment unit 910, the hanger located at the target position to which the partition 119 is to be moved moves to the outside of the first chamber through the corresponding cut hole 1121.

[0557] First, the length of the hanger inserted into the first cavity 110, specifically the hanger body 681 (refer to Figure 45 The length of the linear hole 11212 may be different from the length of the linear hole 11212 in the second direction. Figure 45 ), and the hanger body 681 is inserted through the linear hole 11212. Therefore, the hanger can be moved from M1, which is the position when the main door 200 is opened, to M2, which is the position to be rotated by the hanger arrangement unit 510, taking into account the length of the hanger during rotation.

[0558] When the hanger reaches a position to which the hanger arrangement unit 510 can rotate, the hanger arrangement unit 510 rotates the hanger, so that the hanger moves through the cutout hole 1121 to a position above the first chamber upper surface 112 .

[0559] Reference Figure 25 (d) If the hanger at the target position rotates and moves outside the first chamber 110, the partition 119 moves from the current initial position to the target position. In addition, the hanger arrangement unit 510 rotates the hanger at the initial position to move inside the first chamber 110.

[0560] When the driving unit 500 moves the partition 119 from an initial position (or a first moving position) which is a position before movement to a target position different from the initial position (or a second moving position different from the first moving position), the driving unit 500 can move the hanger 610 to the outside of the first chamber 100.

[0561] That is, the driving unit 500 may move the hanger 610 to the outside of the first chamber 100 according to the movement of the partition 119 .

[0562] After the partition 119 is moved, the hanger 610 is moved into the interior of the first chamber 110 .

[0563] Preferably, the hanger 610 may be provided in plural. Therefore, the driving unit 500 may move at least one hanger 610 among the plural hangers to the inside or outside of the first chamber 110 according to the movement of the partition 119 .

[0564] That is, the driving unit 500 may move at least one hanger 610 among the plurality of hangers to above or below the first chamber upper surface 112 according to the movement of the partition 119 .

[0565] When the partition 119 moves to contact a side surface of the first chamber 100 and the space inside the first chamber 100 is used as one space, the plurality of hangers 610 are moved into the first chamber 110 by the driving unit 500 .

[0566] Figure 25 (a) to Figure 25 (d) assumes that the hanger support frames 630 are not integrally formed, but rather that each hanger is formed independently. Therefore, when a hanger at a target location moves from M1, which is the position when the main door 200 is opened, to M2, which is the position to which the hanger arrangement unit 510 rotates, the hangers 610 can all move together. This is because the hanger support frames 630 can be moved together by the transport drive unit 540.

[0567] In addition, after the corresponding hangers are rotated and moved to the outside of the first chamber 110 and the partition is moved to the target position, the conveying driving unit 540 can move the plurality of hangers 610 to the position when the main door 200 is opened.

[0568] Then, when the main door 200 is closed, the transport driving unit 540 may move the plurality of hangers 610 to the positions of the hanger holes 11211 .

[0569] For user convenience, when the main door 200 is opened, the hanger configured to move toward the input port 139 may be referred to as a welcome hanger.

[0570] Figure 26 The reciprocating unit 520 is shown to reciprocate the hanger 600 in the third direction. That is, the reciprocating unit 520 can reciprocate the plurality of hangers 610 along the width direction of the box body 130 .

[0571] The reciprocating motion part 520 may include: a power motor part 521, which generates a rotational force; a power motor rotating shaft part 522, which is arranged on the power motor part 521 and rotates; a power motor support part 523, which is located between the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and the upper panel 132, supporting the power motor part 521; and a moving body part 526, which converts the rotational motion of the power motor part 521 into a reciprocating motion in the width direction of the box body 130 and transmits it to the hanger part 600.

[0572] In addition, considering the faster rotation speed of general motors, the reciprocating motion part 520 may also include a reducer (not shown) or a planetary gear part (not shown) for reducing the rotation speed of each of the at least one power motors. The reducer or planetary gear part may also be located inside the at least one power motor. Different from this, the reciprocating motion part 520 may also use a belt and a pulley to connect the power motor rotating shaft provided in each of the at least one power motors with the motion body part 526 moved by the at least one power motor to have different rotation ratios.

[0573] Figure 26 and Figure 27 (a) shows an example in which a plurality of power motor units 521, power motor rotating shaft units 522, and power motor support units 523 are arranged along the third direction. However, differently from this, the reciprocating motion unit 520 may also include one power motor unit 521, one power motor rotating shaft unit 522, and one power motor support unit 523. This can be changed considering the size and force of the power motor unit 521.

[0574] The power motor portion 521 can be supported by the power motor support portion 523 so that the power motor rotation shaft portion 522 is arranged in a direction parallel to the first direction. The power motor support portion 523 is coupled to the upper surface 112 of the first chamber to prevent interference between the hanger support platform 620 and the movement of the moving body portion 526. The moving body portion 526 can be coupled in a manner that allows reciprocating movement via an eccentric body 525 coupled to the free end of the power motor rotation shaft portion 522.

[0575] The reciprocating portion 520 may be located farther from the input port 139 than the hanger support 620 . That is, the reciprocating portion 520 may be located further rearward than the hanger support 620 and the hanger support frame 630 .

[0576] In addition, the moving body part 526 that converts the rotational force of the power motor part 521 into reciprocating motion in the third direction and causes the hanger part 600 to reciprocate can be located at the same height as the hanger support platform 620.

[0577] That is, the moving body portion 526 can be combined with the hanger support platform 620 at a horizontal height. Therefore, the moving body portion 526 can be connected to the hanger support platform 620 in a smooth plane.

[0578] This is to effectively utilize the space between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 , because the height between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel can be reduced.

[0579] Furthermore, in the conventional laundry processing apparatus 1, the motion conversion portion 527 for the reciprocating motion of the hanger rod is exposed inside the first chamber 110, which can result in a high level of noise. On the other hand, in the laundry processing apparatus 1000 described in the present invention, the reciprocating motion main body 526 and the hanger support 620 are both located outside the first chamber 110, that is, between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132, thereby relatively reducing noise and vibration.

[0580] Figure 27 (a) shows an example in which a plurality of power motor parts 521, power motor rotating shaft parts 522, and power motor supporting parts 523 are arranged along the third direction. In the case of having a plurality of power motor parts, the size of the power motor can be reduced compared to when a single power motor is used for the same force, so it is effective in terms of space utilization.

[0581] That is, the reciprocating motion part 520 may include: a first power motor 5211 and a second power motor 5212, which generate rotational force; a first power motor rotating shaft 5223 and a second power motor rotating shaft 5224, which are respectively arranged on the first power motor 5211 and the second power motor 5212 and rotate; a first power motor support part 523 and a second power motor support part, which are located between the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and the upper panel 132, supporting the first power motor 5211 and the second power motor 5212; and a moving body part 526, which converts the rotational motion of the first power motor 5211 and the second power motor 5212 into reciprocating motion in the width direction of the box body 130 and transmits it to the hanger part 600.

[0582] The moving body portion 526 may be located behind the hanger support platform 620 , and may convert the rotational force of the first power motor 5211 and the second power motor 5212 into reciprocating motion and transmit the reciprocating motion to the hanger support platform 620 .

[0583] To this end, the moving body portion may include: a motion transmission portion 529, which is formed longer in the third direction to make the hanger support platform reciprocate; and a motion conversion portion 527, which protrudes and extends rearward from a surface located in the opposite direction of the surface of the motion transmission portion 529 connected to the hanger support platform.

[0584] Figure 27 (a) shows an example in which two motion conversion units 527 are also provided.

[0585] The motion conversion portion 527 may include a slot portion 528 that penetrates the motion conversion portion in the first direction and extends along the second direction. Each motion conversion portion 527 may include a first slot 5281 and a second slot 5282 .

[0586] Figure 27 (a) is only an example, and the motion body portion 526 may have one motion conversion portion or more than two motion conversion portions.

[0587] Reference Figure 27 (a) Figure 28 (a) and Figure 28 (b) The free end of the power motor rotating shaft 522 may include: an eccentric body 525, which is combined with the power motor rotating shaft 522 and is in the shape of a disc; and an eccentric protrusion 5251, which is located at a position radially separated from the center of the power motor rotating shaft 522 and protrudes from the eccentric body 525 in a direction away from the rotating axis.

[0588] Therefore, the moving body portion 526 can be connected to the eccentric protrusion 5251 to convert the rotational motion into the reciprocating motion and transmit it to the hanger portion 600.

[0589] That is, when the eccentric protrusion 5251 is inserted into the slot portion 528 and rotates, the eccentric protrusion 5251 will perform a circular motion. In other words, the eccentric protrusion 5251 will be in a state of revolution with the power motor rotation shaft portion 522 as the center.

[0590] Therefore, the rotational movement of the eccentric protrusion 5251 can transmit force in the second direction and the third direction. At this time, the slot portion 528 is formed to be longer in the second direction, so the eccentric protrusion 5251 combined with the slot portion 528 can move freely in the second direction inside the slot portion 528 without being interfered.

[0591] That is, preferably, the slot portion 528 may be formed to be long in a direction perpendicular to the reciprocating direction of the reciprocating portion 520 . Specifically, the slot portion 528 may be formed to be long in a direction perpendicular to the reciprocating direction of the moving body portion 526 .

[0592] Therefore, the eccentric protrusion 5251 cannot transmit force to the moving body portion 526 through the narrow slot portion 528 in the second direction, but can only transmit force in the third direction to the moving body portion 526 through the narrow slot portion 528.

[0593] To this end, the length of the narrow groove portion 528 in the second direction may be greater than the rotation radius of the eccentric protrusion 5251 .

[0594] The force converted into reciprocating motion by the motion conversion portion 527 is transmitted to the hanger support 620 through the motion transmission portion 529 .

[0595] For this purpose, refer to Figure 27 (d), the hanger support 620 may include a plurality of moving body connecting portions 627 protruding toward the moving body portion 526. In addition, the moving body portion 526 may include a plurality of hanger support connecting portions 5295 recessed to correspond to the protruding shapes of the plurality of moving body connecting portions 627, so as to correspond to the plurality of moving body connecting portions 627.

[0596] The moving body 526 causes the hanger support 620 to reciprocate, and the hanger support 620 causes the hanger support frame 630 to reciprocate. As a result, the hangers 610 reciprocate.

[0597] To this end, the length of the hanger hole 11211 in the second direction needs to be greater than twice the amplitude of the plurality of hangers 610. On the other hand, the length of the movement guide hole 625 in the second direction is not related to the amplitude of the plurality of hangers 610. This is because the hanger support reciprocates together with the plurality of hangers 610.

[0598] The number of the plurality of moving body connecting parts 627 and the number of the plurality of hanger support platform connecting parts 5295 can be set to the same shape of male and female forms, and the number will also be the same.

[0599] In addition, the moving body part 526 may also include: at least one moving guide hole 5292, which penetrates the moving body part 526 in the first direction and extends longer along the third direction to stably guide the moving body part 526 to reciprocate along the third direction; and a moving guide member 5292, which is combined with the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and inserted into at least one of the moving guide holes 5292 to support the moving body part 526 and guide the reciprocating motion of the moving body part.

[0600] Figure 27 (a) shows an example in which the motion guide 5292 includes a first motion guide 5291 and a second motion guide 5291 .

[0601] Figure 27 (b) shows the movement drive unit 530 for moving the plurality of cutouts 1121 and the partition 119. As previously described, the movement motor support unit 533 is inserted into the interference prevention groove 629 provided on one side of the hanger support platform 620 and engages with the upper surface of the first chamber. Therefore, the position of the movement motor 531 can be fixed even when the hanger support frame 630 moves or the hanger support platform 620 reciprocates.

[0602] The mobile driving part 530 may include: a mobile motor 531, located between the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and the upper panel 132, generating a rotational force and rotating the mobile motor rotating shaft 5311; a mobile gear part 536, connected to the mobile motor rotating shaft 5311 and transmitting the rotational force of the mobile motor 531; and a mobile guide part 532, converting the rotation of the mobile gear part 536 into movement in the third direction.

[0603] Taking into account the relatively fast rotation speed of general motors, the mobile drive unit 530 may further include a speed reducer (not shown) or a planetary gear unit (not shown) for reducing the rotation speed of each of the at least one mobile motors. The speed reducer or planetary gear unit may also be located inside the at least one mobile motor. Alternatively, the mobile drive unit 530 may utilize a belt and pulley to connect the mobile motor rotation shaft provided in each of the at least one power motors to the mobile guide unit 532 driven by the at least one power motor so as to have different rotation ratios.

[0604] The laundry treating apparatus 1000 may further include a first support frame 1381 and a second support frame 1382 located between the upper panel 132 and the first chamber upper surface 112 , extending longer along the third direction and combined with the first side panel 134 and the second side panel 135 .

[0605] The first support frame 1381 may be located closer to the input port 139 than the second support frame 1382 .

[0606] The movable guide portion 532 may include: a first movable guide 5321 and a second movable guide 5322, which are respectively supported by the first supporting frame 1381 and the second supporting frame 1382, so that the movable member 535 moves; a first transmission guide 5331, which is connected to the movable gear portion 536 and the first movable guide 5321 to transmit the rotational force of the movable motor 531; and a second transmission guide 5332, which is connected to the movable gear portion 536 and the second movable guide 5322 to transmit the rotational force of the movable motor 531.

[0607] Reference Figure 29 The moving guide portion 532 may further include: a moving member 535, which is combined with the partition portion 119 to enable the partition portion 119 to move along the third direction.

[0608] In addition, the first movable guide 5321, the second movable guide 5322, the first transfer guide 5331 and the second transfer guide 5332 can be configured in the form of screws, the first transfer guide 5331 and the first movable guide 5321 can be respectively arranged along the second direction and the third direction and cross each other, and the second transfer guide 5332 and the second movable guide 5322 can also be respectively arranged along the second direction and the third direction and cross each other.

[0609] In addition, the mobile driving part 530 may also include: a first connecting gear 5366, which is arranged between the first transfer guide 5331 and the first moving guide 5321, and transmits the rotational force of the first transfer guide 5331 to the first moving guide 5321; and a second connecting gear 5367, which is arranged between the second transfer guide 5332 and the second moving guide 5322, and transmits the rotational force of the second transfer guide to the second moving guide 5322.

[0610] Therefore, the rotational force of the moving motor 531 can be transmitted to the moving gear unit 536. The moving gear unit 536 may include: a main gear 5361 coupled to the moving motor rotation shaft 5311; a first auxiliary gear 5362 and a second auxiliary gear 5363, each meshing with and rotating with the main gear 5361; a first moving gear 5364 connected to the rotation shaft of the first auxiliary gear 5362 and rotating together with the first auxiliary gear 5362; and a second moving gear 5365 connected to the rotation shaft of the second auxiliary gear 5363 and rotating together with the second auxiliary gear 5363.

[0611] The first transfer guide 5331 and the second transfer guide 5332 may have different lengths.

[0612] The reason for using two transfer guides to move the partition portion is to transfer the force of movement to the front and rear sides of the partition wall 1191 respectively so that the partition wall 1191 moves without bending.

[0613] The movable member 535 includes: a movable nut portion 5353, which is combined with the first movable guide 5321 and the second movable guide 5322; and a movable body 5352, which connects the movable nut portion 5353 with the partition portion 119. When the first movable guide 5321 and the second movable guide 5322 rotate, the movable nut portion 5353 will move along the third direction.

[0614] The movable nut portion 5353 may include a first movable nut 5353a coupled to the first movable guide 5321 and movable in response to the rotation of the first movable guide 5321; and a second movable nut 5353b coupled to the second movable guide 5322 and movable in response to the rotation of the second movable guide 5322. This is similar to the relationship between a screw and a nut, where the nut moves when the screw rotates.

[0615] Therefore, the movable body 5352 connected to the movable nut portion 5353 transmits force to the partition portion 119, thereby enabling the partition portion 119 to move along the third direction.

[0616] That is, when the movable nut portion 5353 moves, the partition portion 119 may move along with the movement of the movable body 5352 .

[0617] The movable body 5352 may include: a first fastening body 5352a, connected to the first movable nut 5353a and extending toward the bottom surface 111 of the first chamber; a second fastening body 5352b, connected to the second movable nut 5353b and extending toward the bottom surface 111 of the first chamber; and a fastening connection body 5357, connecting the first fastening body 5352a with the second fastening body 5352b.

[0618] The movable body 5352 may be made of a metal material, which can prevent the movable body 5352 from being bent due to the reaction force when the partition 119 moves.

[0619] In addition, the moving member 535 may further include a plate-shaped hanger cover 5351 for covering a portion of any one of the plurality of cutout holes 1121 to which the partition 119 is to be moved.

[0620] The moving member 535 may further include a cover connecting body 5355 connecting the moving body 5352 and the hanger cover 5351 .

[0621] Therefore, when the movement drive unit 530 is used to move, the hanger cover 5351 and the moving member 535 will move together. Figure 29 The hanger cover 5351 may be located between the upper surface of the first chamber and the hanger support platform 620 .

[0622] In particular, the hanger cover 5351 can cover the hanger hole portion 11211 in the cut hole.

[0623] The hanger cover 5351 may shield the hanger hole portion 11211 where the partition portion should be located.

[0624] This is to prevent the complex structure of the driving part located above the partition 119 from being seen by the user, and to prevent steam or hot air from penetrating through the open hanger hole 11211 into the space between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 and damaging the driving part.

[0625] Since hangers are inserted into the other hanger hole portions 11211 without the partition portion, they can be sealed to a certain extent by the hangers even without being covered by the hanger cover 5351.

[0626] Since steam and hot air can also penetrate between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 through the linear hole portion 11212 of each of the plurality of cutout holes, a hanger pad 1123 may be included to prevent this (see FIG. Figure 16 ).

[0627] Reference Figure 29 、 Figure 31 (c) and Figure 31 (d) The hanger pad 1123 may extend longer on both sides of the linear hole 11212 than the length of the linear hole 11212 in the second direction, and may extend toward the center of the linear hole 11212. Therefore, the hanger pad 1123 may have a shape that is cut in the direction from the hanger hole 11211 to the linear hole 11212.

[0628] The hanger gasket 1123 may be made of a polymer material such as rubber. Thus, when each of the plurality of hangers 610 moves along the second direction through the linear hole 11212, the hanger gasket 1123 may bend toward both sides with the cut portion as the center, thereby sealing the linear hole 11212.

[0629] Different from the hanger cover 5351 , the plurality of cutout holes 1121 may be provided with the hanger pads 1123 . The hanger cover 5351 and the hanger pads 1123 may prevent steam and hot air from penetrating between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 .

[0630] In addition, the driving part provided between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 can be prevented from being exposed to the user.

[0631] Figure 30 (a) to Figure 30 (b) shows the situation where the hanger cover 5351 and the partition 119 move. It can be seen that when the partition 119 moves from any one cut hole to another cut hole, the hanger cover 5351 also moves together. Figure 30 (c) shows that the partition part blocks any one of the cutout holes 1121 within the moving range during the movement toward one side of the first chamber.

[0632] As an example described above, Figure 30An example of a clothes processing device having five cutouts 11211a, 11211b, 11211c, 11211d, and 11211e and provided with five hangers is shown. When the partition 119 moves from the second hanger position to the third hanger position, the hanger cover 5351 also moves from the second hanger position to the third hanger position.

[0633] When the partition 119 moves from the position of the third hanger to a side surface of the first chamber connected to the first surface 1111, it will pass through the positions of the fourth hanger and the fifth hanger in sequence. Therefore, the hanger cover 5351 will also pass through the positions of the fourth hanger and the fifth hanger in the same way.

[0634] When the partition 119 moves along the third direction inside the first chamber 110 , the hanger cover 5351 moves in the same direction outside the first chamber.

[0635] That is, when the partition 119 moves below the first chamber upper surface 112 , the hanger cover 5351 may move above the first chamber upper surface 112 .

[0636] Similar to the function of the hanger cover 5351 and the hanger pad 1123 in preventing steam and hot air from penetrating between the upper surface 112 of the first chamber and the upper panel 132, when the partition 119 separates the space of the first chamber 110, it may be necessary to equip structural elements for sealing the various storage spaces so as to use the separated storage spaces V1 and V2 differently.

[0637] That is, while cotton school uniforms are being processed in the first storage space V1 using a first steam volume and a first drying time, silk dresses can be processed in the second storage space V2 using a second steam volume and a second drying time. To this end, a sealing member is required to prevent steam and hot air from leaking between the storage spaces.

[0638] Reference Figure 31 (b), the partition 119 may include a front gasket 1192a disposed on the front side of the partition wall 1191 and in contact with the inner surface 201 of the main door when the main door 200 is closed. The front gasket 1192a may be combined with the front side of the partition wall 1191 to form a hollow space, and may be made of a soft material, such as a polymer such as rubber.

[0639] This is to make the front pad 1192a easy to deform, and since the main door inner surface 201 has a door lining portion 230 or a door inclined portion 240 and other structures, this is to prevent the front pad 1192a and the main door inner surface 201 from being separated by such a structure.

[0640] If there is no partition 119, then Figure 41 As shown, a plurality of hanger clips 226 for placing clothes can be provided on the inner surface 201 of the main door.

[0641] Figure 31 (b) shows that the movable member 535 is located inside the partition wall 1191. In addition, it is shown that the partition wall gasket 1192 is arranged along the periphery of the partition wall 1191. The aforementioned front gasket 1192a can be provided on the front side of the partition wall 1191. An upper gasket 1192b, a rear gasket 1192c and a lower gasket 1192d can be provided on the upper surface, back surface and lower surface of the partition wall 1191, respectively. Unlike the front gasket 1192a, the upper gasket 1192b, the rear gasket 1192c and the lower gasket 1192d can be formed by gaskets of a thinner material. This is because, unlike the front gasket 1192a, the first chamber upper surface 112, the first chamber back surface 113 and the bottom cover 180 have a smooth shape, so the necessity for gasket deformation is low. Therefore, the upper pad 1192b, the rear pad 1192c, and the lower pad 1192d may be made of graphite.

[0642] Figure 31 In (b), the upper pad 1192b and the rear pad 1192c are shown in bold. The lower pad 1192d is also provided in the same manner.

[0643] Figure 31 (a) is a diagram of the laundry processing apparatus cut in a direction perpendicular to the first direction and viewed from above, which shows that a rear gasket 1192 c is provided between the partition 119 and the back surface of the first chamber 110 .

[0644] Figure 32 An example of the transport drive unit 540 is shown. Figure 32 (a) shows the hanger support frame 630 is located at the position S1 of the hanger hole portion 11211. Figure 32 (b) shows a state where the transport drive unit 540 moves the hanger support frame 630 toward the input port 139 and is located at position S2 when the main door 200 is opened.

[0645] Only when the hanger supporting frame 630 is located in the hanger hole 11211 , the hanger portion 600 can reciprocate along the third direction via the reciprocating portion 520 .

[0646] like Figure 32 As shown, when the hanger support frame 630 moves, the hanger arrangement portion 510 can move together, and the transport drive portion 540 can be located in a fixed position. The reciprocating portion and the movement drive portion 530 can also be located in a fixed position.

[0647] In addition, the hanger support 620 may also move only in the third direction without moving in the second direction because only the force capable of moving in the third direction is transmitted through the moving body 526 .

[0648] The transport drive unit 540 and the hanger support frame 630 are similarly coupled to the hanger support platform 620. Therefore, when the hanger unit 600 reciprocates, the transport drive unit 540 and the hanger support frame 630 can reciprocate together with the hanger unit 600. Therefore, during the reciprocating motion, the transport drive unit 540 and the hanger support frame 630 can be prevented from being separated and misaligned.

[0649] The moving drive unit 530 is coupled to the first chamber upper surface 112 and can therefore operate independently of the reciprocating unit 520. However, a clothes hanger detection sensor 359, fragrance setting sensors 7518 and 7528, and bottom sensors 1111a, 1111b, 1111c, and 1111d may be provided within the range of movement of the partition 119 to prevent damage to the partition 119 during movement due to a clothes hanger being placed on the hanger or the fragrance unit 750 and bottom cover 180 being incorrectly installed.

[0650] If abnormality is detected by the clothes hanger detection sensor 359, the fragrance setting sensors 7518, 7528, and the bottom sensors 1111a, 1111b, 1111c, 1111d, the control portion 900 may interrupt the movement of the partition 119 and provide a reminder to the user through a display or a speaker.

[0651] Figure 33 (a) shows a situation where the plurality of hangers 610 are located at positions S1 of the hanger holes 11211 when the main door 200 is closed. The hanger holes 11211 may be located at the center of the first chamber upper surface 112 along the second direction.

[0652] Figure 33(b) shows that when the main door 200 is opened, the plurality of hangers 610 are moved to a position S2 close to the input port 139 along the linear hole 11212 by the conveying driving unit 540. This is for the convenience of the user.

[0653] Reference Figure 33 (c) In order to confirm whether the main door 200 is open or closed, the door hinge unit 225 may include a door opening and closing inspection unit 2255. The door opening and closing inspection unit 2255 may be located at the first door hinge 2251 or the second door hinge 2252, or at a joint (not shown) required for fixing the main door 200 to the input port. Figure 33 (c) shows as an example a switch sensor located at the second door hinge 2252 and capable of confirming whether the main door 200 is opened.

[0654] The control unit 900 can detect whether the main door 200 is opened or closed through the control signal of the door opening and closing detection unit 2255.

[0655] Figure 34 The figure shows an example in which the partition 119 is located in any one of the plurality of cutouts 1121. As mentioned above, the hanger hole portion in any one of the cutouts 1121 may be provided with a hanger cover 5351 that moves together with the movable body 5352.

[0656] like Figure 34 As shown, it can be seen that most of the hanger hole portions of the other cutout holes located at a position separated from the partition 119 will be blocked by the hanger and the hanger support portion 605. Specifically, they may be blocked by the hanger support frame 630.

[0657] Differently, the hanger support portion 605 may include a frame bushing 6311 located between the hanger support frame 630 and the hanger support platform 620 to support the hanger support frame 630 and thus be shielded by the frame bushing 6311. In particular, the frame bushing 6311 may be combined with the movable support frame 631 to support the movable support frame 631.

[0658] Figure 35 (a) to Figure 35 (c) shows an example of the length-adjusting shelf 310 whose length is adjusted according to the movement of the partition 119 .

[0659] In the case of conventional laundry processing apparatuses, the width of the first chamber is fixed, and therefore the length of the shelf is also fixed. However, in the case of the laundry processing apparatus 1000 described in the present invention, the size of the storage space of the first chamber can be changed by the partition 119. Therefore, when the partition 119 moves along the third direction, the length of the shelf also needs to be changed.

[0660] Figure 35 (a) shows an example of a length adjustment shelf 310 disposed in the second storage space V2. The length adjustment shelf 310 can be located on one of the two side surfaces of the first chamber 110 and can be supported by a side shelf placement portion 1145 extending along the second direction and a partition wall shelf placement portion 1195 provided on one of the two side surfaces of the partition wall 1191 facing the one side surface and extending along the second direction.

[0661] The first storage space V1 may also be provided with a length-adjusting shelf 310. However, the partition 119 may contact a side surface of the first chamber 110 connected to the first surface 1111. Therefore, if a placement portion for placing a length-adjusting shelf is present in the first storage space V1, the partition 119 may not contact a side surface of the first chamber 110. Therefore, the side shelf placement portion 1145 and the partition wall shelf placement portion 1195 are preferably located in the second storage space V2.

[0662] As the partition 119 moves, the length of the length-adjusting shelf also needs to be adjusted along the third direction. Since the sizes of the side shelf placement portion 1145 and the partition wall shelf placement portion 1195 are fixed, the length of the length-adjusting shelf 310 in the second direction will also be fixed.

[0663] Therefore, refer to Figure 36 The length adjustment shelf 310 may include: a first fixing rod 311, combined with the side shelf placement portion 1145; a second fixing rod 312, combined with the partition wall shelf placement portion 1195; and a plurality of length adjustment rods 313, connected between the first fixing rod 311 and the second fixing rod 312, configured in a telescopic or bellows form, and capable of adjusting the length according to the distance between the first fixing rod 311 and the second fixing rod 312.

[0664] An elastic member such as a spring may be provided inside the length adjustment rod 313 so that the length can be automatically increased when the partition moves. Alternatively, the user can adjust the length of the plurality of length adjustment rods 313 by directly pulling or pushing the first fixed rod 311 or the second fixed rod 312.

[0665] The reason why the length-adjustable shelf is formed of a plurality of rods rather than a single surface is to facilitate the transfer of hot air, steam, and aroma from the lower portion to the upper portion of the length-adjustable shelf. This is because the steam supply unit 160, air supply unit 150, and aroma unit 750 are all located on the first surface 1111, the extended surface 1114, or the second surface 1112.

[0666] Figure 35 (b) and Figure 35 (c) shows a case where the length of the length adjustment shelf changes as the partition 119 moves. If a doll or a hat is waiting to be dried, if the doll is large, the partition 119 can be moved to accommodate the doll to ensure a storage space and then placed on the length adjustment shelf.

[0667] Reference Figure 36 The first fixing rod 311 and the second fixing rod 312 may include magnets 316 and 317 on the surfaces respectively coupled to the side shelf seating portion 1145 and the partition wall shelf seating portion 1195. If the side shelf seating portion 1145 and the partition wall shelf seating portion 1195 are made of a metal material such as iron to which magnets can be attached, the user only needs to bring the length adjustment shelf 310 near the side shelf seating portion 1145 and the partition wall shelf seating portion 1195, and the first fixing rod 311 and the second fixing rod 312 will naturally couple to the side shelf seating portion 1145 and the partition wall shelf seating portion 1195 through magnetic force.

[0668] In addition, when the partition 119 is moved, under the magnetic effect of the magnet parts 316 and 317, the magnet parts are respectively combined with the side shelf placement part 1145 and the partition wall shelf placement part 1195, so that the multiple length adjustment rods 313 can be automatically extended.

[0669] Therefore, the user may place the length-adjusting shelf 310 on one of the two side surfaces of the partition wall 1191 and the first chamber 110 facing the partition wall 1191 for easy support.

[0670] In addition to the length-adjustable shelf 310 , the laundry processing apparatus 1000 described in the present invention may also utilize other shelves to support the laundry to be dried.

[0671] Figure 37 (a) and Figure 37 (b) shows an example of a shelf placement portion 320 that can be attached and detached from one side of the first chamber 110. The shelf placement portion 320 is used to allow a user to easily attach and detach shelves within the first chamber 110 and can be used in various layouts.

[0672] In the case of the existing clothes treating apparatus, not only the length of the shelf is fixed but also the position where the shelf is placed is fixed.

[0673] When using a hanger to place knitted or other clothing on the hanger portion 600, there is a risk of stretching the shoulders and damaging the clothing. In such cases, the clothing needs to be placed on a shelf for care rather than hanging it on a hanger. However, in existing clothing handling devices, the length and position of the shelf are fixed, so there is a problem that the clothing cannot be placed on the hanger rod when using the shelf, and the shelf cannot be used when using the hanger rod.

[0674] In order to solve this problem, the clothes treating apparatus 1000 described in the present invention may include: a shelf portion 320 is provided, and only one side of the shelf needs to be fixed to fully support the clothes to be dried and serve as a shelf.

[0675] The placement shelf 320 can be used regardless of the presence of the divider 119. Preferably, the placement shelf 320 can be configured to be supported on the back surface 113 of the first chamber and parallel to the upper surface of the first chamber, facing the inlet 139. In this case, the divider 119 may interfere with the placement shelf 320, so the divider 119 may not be provided.

[0676] Reference Figure 37 (a) In general, the shelf portion 320 can be hung by a plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 located on one side 114, 115 of the first chamber. Alternatively, it can be separated from the outside. The user can rotate the shelf portion 320 and fix it to the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 to use the shelf portion 320. Figure 37 (b) The placement shelf portion 320 is parallel to the first chamber upper surface 112 , so the objects to be dried can be placed above the placement shelf portion 320 .

[0677] To this end, the clothing processing device 1000 may include: a plurality of shelf fixing clips 327, which are arranged on one side of the inner side of the first chamber 110; and at least one shelf placement portion 320, which is fixed to at least one shelf fixing clip 327 among the plurality of shelf fixing clips to support the clothes to be dried.

[0678] Reference Figure 37 (a), a plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 are arranged at predetermined fixed positions on the back side 113 of the first chamber. The shelf fixing clips 327 have a structure that only needs to fix one end of the shelf portion 320 to support the shelf portion 320.

[0679] Figure 37(a) shows an example of a configuration with nine shelf fixing clips. Thus, the shelf portion 320 can be fixed to six placement areas J1 to J6. The number of shelf fixing clips and the number of placement areas vary according to the design, so Figure 37 (a) is just an example and is not limited to Figure 37 (a) shows the number of shelf fixing clips and the number of placement areas.

[0680] In addition, the shelf portion 320 may be positioned by two adjacent shelf fixing clips 327 located at the same height among the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 .

[0681] Reference Figure 37 (a), six placement shelf portions can be placed in six placement areas. Figure 37 In (a), the three placement shelves 321 , 323 , and 324 are currently placed parallel to the first chamber back surface 113 . Figure 37 (b) is a case where the user places a placement shelf 322 in a placement area J4 in a manner perpendicular to the first chamber back surface 113 or parallel to the first chamber upper surface 112. Thus, the objects to be dried can be placed above the placement shelf 322.

[0682] The user can also move a portion of the currently placed shelf parts 321 , 322 , 323 , and 324 to a desired location by loading and unloading, so as to place them in other placement areas J5 and J6 for use.

[0683] Reference Figure 38 (a), each of at least one of the shelf portions 320 may include: a plurality of support rods 3215, arranged at predetermined intervals; and a first combining rod 3211 and a second combining rod 3212, which are vertically combined with the plurality of support rods 3215 and combined at a position closer to one end than the other end of the support rod 3215, and the first combining rod 3211 may be combined at a position closer to one end of the support rod 3215 than the second combining rod 3212.

[0684] If at least one of the placement shelves 320 is placed parallel to the first chamber upper surface 112 via the shelf fixing clip 327 for use, the first combining rod 3211 will be located closer to the first chamber back surface 113 than the second combining rod 3212 .

[0685] like Figure 38As shown in (a), when the placement shelf portion 320 is placed parallel to the first chamber upper surface 112 via the shelf fixing clamp 327, the first coupling rod 3211 and the second coupling rod 3212 are inserted into the interior of the shelf fixing clamp 327 and fixed by the shelf fixing clamp 327. As described above, when only one end of the placement shelf portion 320 is fixed, a moment will be generated due to the weight of the placement shelf portion 320 and the objects to be dried to be placed above the placement shelf portion 320, thereby causing the placement shelf portion 320 to rotate around the shelf fixing clamp 327.

[0686] Figure 38 (a) and Figure 38 (b), the first and second coupling rods 3211, 3212 can be simultaneously inserted into the shelf fixing clamp 327 through the clamp opening 3272 of the shelf fixing clamp 327. Therefore, when rotating, the first coupling rod 3211 can be supported by the upper support body 3271a of the clamp body 3271, and the second coupling rod 3212 can be supported by the lower support body 3271b of the clamp body 3271. Thus, the first and second coupling rods 3211, 3212 are prevented from rotating, and the placement shelf portion 320 can be arranged perpendicular to the back surface of the first chamber.

[0687] Reference Figure 38 (b), each of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 may include: a clip body 3271 forming an outer shape;

[0688] A clamp through hole 3273 is formed through the clamp body 3271 in a direction parallel to the upper surface 112 of the first chamber; a clamp opening portion 3272 is formed in which a portion of the outer surface of the clamp body 3271 facing the upper surface 112 of the first chamber is opened and connected to the clamp through hole 3273; and a central partition portion 3274 protrudes from the inner circumferential surface of the clamp through hole 3273 and extends to the inner side of the inner circumferential surface of the clamp through hole 3273.

[0689] The plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 utilize both ends of the first combining rod 3211 and the second combining rod 3212 , so that one shelf placement portion 320 requires at least two shelf fixing clips 327 .

[0690] For this reason, if each shelf portion is placed and all uses two shelf fixing clamps, then will not be able to effectively utilize space. In addition, if each shelf portion is placed and all uses two shelf fixing clamps, then can't prevent the shaking on the direction parallel to the first combining bar 3211 or the second combining bar 3212.

[0691] To solve this problem, each of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 may include a central partition 3274 protruding from the inner circumference of the clip through hole 3273 and extending to the inner side of the inner circumference of the clip through hole 3273 .

[0692] That is, the central partition portion 3274 may divide the inner circumference of the clip through hole 3273 into a first mounting portion 3274 a and a second mounting portion 3274 b , each of which is provided with at least one of the other shelf portions 320 .

[0693] Therefore, due to the first mounting portion 3274a and the second mounting portion 3274b separated by the central partition 3274, the three shelf fixing clamps can support the two placement shelf portions, and the central partition 3274 can prevent the placement shelf portion 320 from shaking in a direction parallel to the first combining rod 3211 and the second combining rod 3212.

[0694] Therefore, the number of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 in the laundry treating apparatus may be greater than the number of at least one placement shelf portion 320 placed on the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 .

[0695] In addition, at least two of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 of at least one shelf placement portion 320 may be located at the same height on a side surface of the first chamber 110 .

[0696] Therefore, when any one of the at least one shelf placement portion 320 is arranged in a direction parallel to the upper surface 112 of the first chamber to support the items to be dried, one end of each of the first combining rod 3211 and the second combining rod 3212 will be located at the first mounting portion of any one of the plurality of shelf fixing clamps 327, and the other end of each of the first combining rod 3211 and the second combining rod 3212 will be located at the second mounting portion of another shelf fixing clamp among the plurality of shelf fixing clamps 327 that is located at the same height as any one of the shelf fixing clamps.

[0697] Alternatively, one end of the first combining rod 3211 and the second combining rod 3212 will be located at the second mounting portion of any one of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327, and the other end of the first combining rod 3211 and the second combining rod 3212 will each be located at the first mounting portion of another shelf fixing clip among the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 that is located at the same height as any one of the shelf fixing clips.

[0698] On the other hand, when at least one shelf placement portion 320 is placed parallel to the first direction on the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327, the first combining rod 3211 may be located inside the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327, and the second combining rod 3212 may be located outside the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327. Therefore, only the first combining rod 3211 may be located inside the shelf fixing clips 327.

[0699] That is, the first combining rod 3211 can be located inside any one of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 and another shelf fixing clip located at the same height as any one of the shelf fixing clips, and the second combining rod 3212 can be located outside any one of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 and another shelf fixing clip.

[0700] In this case, the central partition 3274 can also prevent the placement shelf portion 320 from shaking in a direction parallel to the first combining rod 3211 .

[0701] Figure 39 (a) to Figure 39 (d) shows various embodiments of placing the shelf portion 320.

[0702] Figure 39 (a) shows a situation where every two of the four shelf portions 321 , 322 , 323 , and 324 are located at the same height and are placed on a plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 configured on the back surface 113 of the first chamber.

[0703] The plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 may be located at three different heights C1 , C2 , and C3 on the back of the first chamber, and the four shelf placement parts 321 , 322 , 323 , and 324 may be arranged in the largest four areas of the six different areas.

[0704] Figure 39 (b) shows a case where the two shelf portions 325 and 326 are arranged in different areas. The widths of the two shelf portions 325 and 326 are greater than Figure 39 The width of the shelf portion shown in (a) is increased, so two shelf fixing clips are configured at each height instead of three.

[0705] Figure 39 (c) shows a case where one shelf portion 3251 is installed. The shelf fixing clips are arranged at two different heights C4 and C5, so that one shelf portion 3251 can be arranged in one of two different areas.

[0706] Figure 39 (d) shows a case where two shelf portions 328 and 329 are provided at the same height. The two shelf portions 328 and 329 can be fixed in the width direction of the box body 130 by three shelf fixing clips without shaking.

[0707] Such various arrangements of the shelf portions 320 can be variously changed according to the lengths of the first and second coupling bars 3211 and 3212 , the number and arrangement of the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327 , and the number of the shelf portions 320 .

[0708] Figure 40 (a) to Figure 40 (e) shows a step of setting or partitioning for use of the placement shelf portion 320.

[0709] Figure 40 (a) shows an example in which the user does not usually use the placement shelf 320 and stores it inside the first chamber 110. That is, the placement shelf 320 is placed parallel to one side surface or the second direction of the first chamber.

[0710] The first coupling rod 3211 may be located inside at least two adjacent shelf fixing clips 327 at the same height among the plurality of shelf fixing clips 327, and the second coupling rod 3212 may be located outside. In this case, the placement shelf portion 320 will rotate around the at least two placed shelf fixing clips 327, so that the placement shelf portion 320 will naturally hang in the direction of gravity.

[0711] Figure 40 (b) to Figure 40 (d) shows, in different steps, a situation in which a user rotates the shelf portion 320 around the first coupling rod 3211 in order to use the shelf portion 320 . Figure 40 (d) shows the second coupling rod 3212 being rotated upward in a direction parallel to the first chamber upper surface 112 and lifted, so that the second coupling rod 3212 can be inserted into the shelf fixing clips 327 through the clip openings 3272. Then, when the user inserts the second coupling rod 3212 into the two shelf fixing clips 327, the shelf placement portion 320 is arranged in a direction parallel to the first chamber upper surface 112 via the shelf fixing clips 327, thereby being able to support the items to be dried.

[0712] The laundry items to be dried include clothing and are items that cannot be placed on the hanger or would be damaged if placed on the hanger. Examples include hats, scarves, and dolls. The laundry processing device 1000 can be used by the user by configuring the shelf 320 in various ways depending on the size of the laundry items to be dried.

[0713] Furthermore, in the shelf placement portion 320, the first coupling rod 3211 and the second coupling rod 3212 are both located in the direction of the shelf fixing clamp 327 to be coupled. Therefore, one end of the plurality of support rods 3215 is blocked by the first coupling rod 3211 and the second coupling rod 3212, which are coupled perpendicularly to the plurality of support rods, but the other ends of the plurality of support rods 3215 are open. Therefore, hats and the like can be hung on the plurality of support rods 3215.

[0714] To this end, the length of the plurality of support rods 3215 in the second direction may be smaller than the depth of the first chamber in the second direction.

[0715] The method of separating the shelf portion 320 can be performed in the reverse order. Figure 40 (a) to Figure 40 (e).

[0716] When the laundry processing apparatus 1000 includes the partition 119, there is a problem that a member having a complex structure cannot be provided on the inner surface 201 of the main door. This is because, although the partition 119 includes the front gasket 1192a, if a member having a complex structure is provided on the inner surface 201 of the main door, the space between the storage spaces cannot be sealed.

[0717] Therefore, the existing clothes treating apparatus 1 cannot dispose a component such as a presser (or pants presser) on the inner surface 201 of the main door for removing wrinkles of the pants and making the intended creases of the pants clearer and more prominent.

[0718] To solve this problem, the laundry treating apparatus 1000 of the present invention may accommodate the pressurizer 400 inside the main door 200 .

[0719] Figure 41 (a) to Figure 41 (c) shows an example in which the pressurizer 400 for removing wrinkles from clothes is accommodated inside the main door 200 .

[0720] Reference Figure 41 (a) and Figure 41 (b), the main door 200 may include: a door body 215, including a door input port 217 on one side thereof; and an auxiliary door 210, which together with the door body 215 forms the door internal space to open and close at least a portion of the door body 215 including the door input port 217.

[0721] Figure 41(b) shows an example of the entire front of the auxiliary door 210 opening and closing the door body 215, but there is no need to open and close the part where the water supply tank 810 and the drainage tank 820 are located. Figure 44 As shown, the auxiliary door 210 may only open and close a portion of the door body 215 .

[0722] The pressurizer 400 may include a base portion 420 disposed on the door body 215 and a pressing portion 410 disposed on the auxiliary door inner surface 211 extending from the auxiliary door 210 toward the door inlet 217. However, the pressing portion 410 may alternatively be located on the door body 215, and the base portion 420 may alternatively be located on the auxiliary door inner surface 211.

[0723] The pressing portion 410 may be hinged to a side surface of the base portion 420 and rotate.

[0724] The base portion 420 may include: a base plate 286 for supporting clothing; a plurality of base plate through holes 422 formed through the base plate 286; and a base plate recess 425 located between two side surfaces of the base plate 286 and recessed along the first direction.

[0725] In addition, the pressurizer 400 may further include a clothes placement clip 285 for placing and hanging clothes. The clothes placement clip 285 may be located at the base portion 420 or at the pressing portion 410.

[0726] When the clothing placement clip 285 is located on the upper portion of the base portion 420 , a pressing plate cutout portion 112 a may be provided on the upper portion of the pressing portion 410 to form a recessed portion by cutting the pressing plate 288 corresponding to the position of the clothing placement clip 285 .

[0727] Considering the size of the clothing placement clamp 285 , this is to prevent the clothing placement clamp 285 from being damaged when the auxiliary door 210 is closed.

[0728] The base plate 286 may not be flat, but may include a base plate recess 425 that is recessed in the first direction from the center of the base plate 286. Specifically, the base plate 286 may include wings on both sides centered on the base plate recess 425. This is to prevent interference with the seams of the trouser legs when placing clothing such as trousers on the clothing placement clips 285.

[0729] In addition, the base plate recessed portion 425 may include a plurality of base plate through-holes 422 for supplying hot air and steam. The door body 215 and the base portion 420 may be spaced apart from each other and not in close contact, so that hot air and steam can be supplied between the door body 215 and the base portion 420, thereby supplying hot air and / or steam to the clothes through the base plate through-holes 422.

[0730] The base plate recessed portion 425 prevents clothing from being in close contact with and blocking the plurality of base plate through holes 422 , thereby preventing hot air and / or steam from being supplied or damaging clothing.

[0731] Alternatively, hot air and / or steam may be supplied through an additional flow path at the bottom of the base portion 420 .

[0732] The auxiliary door 210 may include a pressing portion 410 disposed on the auxiliary door inner surface 211. Preferably, the auxiliary door inner surface 211 may include a recessed inner surface 213 formed by recessing a portion corresponding to the base portion 420, and the pressing portion 410 may be disposed on the recessed inner surface 213.

[0733] In addition, the pressing portion 410 may include: a pressing plate 288 in a plate form; and a pressing plate recess 413 formed by recessing a portion corresponding to the base plate recess 425 along a first direction to avoid sewing lines.

[0734] The auxiliary door 210 and the door body 215 can be hooked and coupled to each other. To this end, an auxiliary door hook 218 can be protruded from one side of the auxiliary door inner surface 211, and the door body 215 can include an auxiliary door coupling portion 219 at a position for coupling with the auxiliary door hook 218, and the auxiliary door hook 218 is inserted into and coupled to the auxiliary door coupling portion 219.

[0735] The length of the pressing plate 288 in the first direction can be less than the length of the base plate 286. This is because the pressed portion of the trousers is the trouser leg portion, and the body portion including the waist does not need to be ironed due to the pockets and various decorative parts, and may be damaged during pressing.

[0736] The hem portion of the pants will be secured by the garment placement clips 285 and hung upside down.

[0737] In addition, the base portion 420 may further include a clothing fixing clip 450 for preventing the waist of the pants from swinging left and right at the bottom of the base portion 420 .

[0738] Figure 41(c) shows an example of the main door 200 when the main door 200 is opened instead of the auxiliary door 210. In particular, Figure 41 (c) shows an example in which the height of the bottom surface of the first chamber is constant and there is no partition 119 .

[0739] Therefore, in the clothes treating apparatus 1000 , the shelf portion 320 may be located inside the first chamber 110 , and the main door inner surface 201 may include a hanger clip 226 on which clothes can be placed.

[0740] In order to supply hot air, aroma and / or steam to the pressurizer 400 located inside the main door 200, it may be necessary to provide a passage for allowing the air, aroma and / or steam supplied from the air supply section 150, the fragrance section 750 and the steam supply section 160 to flow into the interior of the main door 200.

[0741] Reference Figure 42 (a) The air supplied from the air supply unit 150 rises above the first chamber 110 . This is because the air at a high temperature has a relatively high density and can be forcibly circulated by the circulation fan 715 .

[0742] Air rising to the top of the first chamber changes direction through the upper surface of the first chamber and moves toward the main door 200. The main door 200 may include an upper door communication port 2401 located on a side or upper portion of the door inclined portion 240 and communicating with the interior of the main door 200. This allows air to enter the interior of the main door 200. Within the main door 200, the air moves downward. Furthermore, air flowing into the interior of the main door 200 is discharged into the first chamber 110 through a lower door communication port 2303 located on a side or lower portion of the main liner 2301 and communicating with the interior of the main door 200.

[0743] In particular, air can flow between the first chamber upper surface 112 and the upper panel 132 and then flow into the interior of the main door 200 through the door upper communication port 2401. To this end, a portion of the first chamber upper surface 112 can be configured as a louver.

[0744] This is just another embodiment for air circulation, and air can also be circulated through other movement paths.

[0745] Thus, air can be circulated not only in the first chamber 110 but also inside the main door 200. Aroma and / or steam can also be circulated similarly to air.

[0746] Reference Figure 42(b) In the laundry processing apparatus 1000, even when the main door 200 is closed, the air outside the laundry processing apparatus 1000 can be circulated to remove fine dust in the external air or to dehumidify the external air.

[0747] The laundry treating apparatus 1000 may be provided with an external communication hole 1367 located at the lower side of the main door 200 for drawing external air into the air supply unit 700. In addition, the air supply unit 700 may include an external communication flap 1367a capable of drawing the drawn external air into the circulation duct 710.

[0748] Thus, the laundry treating apparatus 1000 can draw external air into the circulation duct 710 , remove dust from the air through the filter unit 718 and the heat exchange unit 740 , perform dehumidification, and then discharge the air to the outside.

[0749] The filter portion 718 may be configured as a high efficiency filter (HEPA filter).

[0750] To this end, the laundry processing apparatus 1000 may further include: an external communication flap 250 located on the front of the main door 200 and communicating with the interior of the main door 200; and a lower communication flap 2305 blocking the lower door communication opening 2303. This is to discharge air passing through the interior of the main door 200 to the outside.

[0751] Figure 43 An example is shown in which the auxiliary door 210 for accessing the pressurizer 400 housed inside the main door 200 is located on the inner surface of the main door. Figure 44 A case where the auxiliary door 210 for accessing the pressurizer 400 housed inside the main door is a portion of the front surface of the main door 200 is shown.

[0752] That is, as long as the pressurizer 400 can be located inside the main door, the auxiliary door 210 can be located anywhere and can be opened in any direction. Furthermore, the pressurizer can be located on one of the two side surfaces 114 and 115 of the first chamber rather than inside the main door 200. Preferably, to avoid interference with the partition 119, the pressurizer can be located on a side of the first chamber 110 that is connected to the second, immovable surface 1112 of the partition 119.

[0753] Figure 45 (a) and Figure 45 (b) schematically shows a hanger rod 64 of a conventional clothes treating apparatus and a hanger portion of the clothes treating apparatus described in the present invention.

[0754] Reference Figure 45(a) In conventional clothing processing devices, the hanger rod 64 can only reciprocate in the third direction while in a fixed position. Furthermore, the hanger rod 64, which extends longer in the third direction, may be provided with hanger slots 65 for accommodating hangers. The spacing of the hanger slots 65 is also fixed, so the position for hanging hangers is fixed, and the spacing between clothes cannot be reduced below the spacing of the hanger slots 65. Furthermore, to increase the spacing between clothes, the hanger slots 65 must be skipped, resulting in an issue where the maximum amount of clothes cannot be hung.

[0755] exist Figure 45 In (b), as previously described, the laundry processing apparatus 1000 of the present invention includes a plurality of independent hangers 610, thereby avoiding interference with the partition. This is achieved by the hanger arrangement unit 510. Furthermore, the plurality of hangers 610 can reciprocate together via the reciprocating unit 520. When the main door 200 is opened, the plurality of hangers can move toward the inlet 139.

[0756] In addition, each of the plurality of hangers 610 may include: a hanger body portion 681 inserted into the interior of the first chamber 110 through a plurality of cutout holes 1121 and protruding; and a hanger hook portion 682 arranged on both sides of the hanger body portion 681 along the third direction.

[0757] The hanger hook portion 682 may be provided with two hanger hanging slots 683 for placing a hanger in the hanger hanging slots 683 .

[0758] Therefore, the number of hangers that can be accommodated is doubled when the hanger slots 65 are the same as those of the conventional clothes processing apparatus. The arrangement of the hanger hooks 682 on both sides of an independent hanger is called a dual hanger.

[0759] In addition, in order to place clothes on the hanger slot 65, the user must step over the hanger rod 64 that is formed to extend long in the third direction. This may cause great inconvenience to the user. In contrast, in the clothes processing device 1000 described in the present invention, the plurality of hangers 610 are independently provided, so that they can be accessed through the empty space on both sides of any hanger (see Figure 45 (b) arrow).

[0760] In addition, since the hanger hook parts 682 are arranged on both sides of the hanger, the user can use both hands. That is, no matter right-handed or left-handed, multiple hangers 610 can be used conveniently.

[0761] In addition, in the case of the double hangers, there is an advantage that the user can select the interval between the hangers on which the clothes are placed according to the thickness of the clothes.

[0762] When caring for relatively thin shirts or other clothing, the hanger hooks 682 provided on both sides of the independent hanger can be used. In addition, when caring for thicker jackets, the hanger hooks 682 provided on opposite sides of adjacent hangers can be used to adjust the spacing between the jacket and other clothing, instead of skipping the hanger slots 65 as in conventional clothing handling devices.

[0763] Reference Figure 46 (a), each of the plurality of hangers 610 may include: a hanger support body 6811, one end of which is inserted into one of the plurality of cut holes 1121 and is located between the upper panel 132 and the upper surface 112 of the first chamber, and the other end is located inside the first chamber 110; and a hanger hook portion 682, which is located near the other end of the hanger support body 6811 and is arranged on both sides of the hanger support body 6811 to be able to accommodate a hanger.

[0764] One end of the hanger support body 6811 can be inserted into the interior of the rotating support frame 632 and rotatably coupled to the rotating support frame 632. To this end, the hanger support body 6811 may include a hanger support body through hole 6812 formed through the hanger support body along a third direction at a position closer to the one end than the other end.

[0765] That is, each alignment motor rotating shaft 5111a, 5111b, 5111c included in at least one alignment motor 5111, 5112, 5113 can be coupled to a hanger that is inserted into the interior of the rotation support frame 632 through a side of the rotation support frame 632 in the second direction, thereby being connected to the hanger to be rotated by the hanger arranging unit 510. Therefore, each alignment motor rotating shaft 5111a, 5111b, 5111c can be coupled through the hanger support body through-hole 6812. Therefore, each alignment motor rotating shaft can rotate together with the hanger support body through-hole 6812.

[0766] The hanger support body 6811 may be formed such that its length in the first direction is greater than its length in the third direction or the second direction. In addition, the hanger support body 6811 may be formed such that its length in the second direction is greater than its length in the third direction.

[0767] The hanger hook portion 682 may include a first hanger hanging body 6821 and a second hanger hanging body 6825 respectively combined with both sides of the hanger support body 6811, and the first hanger hanging body 6821 and the second hanger hanging body 6825 may respectively include: a connecting hanger body 6822 combined with the hanger support body 6811; a fixed hanger body 6824, configured to face the connecting hanger body 6822; and a bent hanger body 6823, configured to connect the fixed hanger body 6824 and the connecting hanger body 6822, so that the first hanger hanging body 6821 opens toward the upper surface 112 of the first chamber.

[0768] exist Figure 46 (a) and Figure 46 In (b), the length of the hanger hook portion 682 in the first direction of the connecting hanger body 6822 may be greater than the length in the first direction of the fixed hanger body 6824. Therefore, the connecting hanger body 6822 may further include an inclined surface 6821a, which is located in the opposite direction of the surface connected to the hanger support body 6811 and is inclined downward toward the bent hanger body 6823.

[0769] To place clothing on any of the plurality of hangers 610, the user can approach between the hanger and an adjacent hanger. In this case, the user does not need to precisely approach the hanger hook 682 provided on the hanger. Instead, the user simply needs to approach the inclined surface 6821a, and the hanger will naturally be guided to the hanger hanging groove 683. In other words, the user does not need to pay much attention when placing the hanger.

[0770] Figure 47 Another embodiment of a plurality of hangers 610 is shown. Each of the plurality of hangers in this alternative embodiment can directly form a hanger hanging slot on a hanger support body 6843 by a bent hanger body 6842 and a fixed hanger body 6844, without providing a connecting hanger body. Therefore, the line connecting the hanger support body 6843 to the bent hanger body 6842 (see the thick line in the middle) can be bent almost vertically. Thus, due to the curved inner surface of the fixed hanger body 6844, the garment can be guided into the hanger hanging slot 683.

[0771] That is, the hanger hook portion may be configured in other shapes as long as a hanger length groove opening toward the upper surface of the first chamber is formed so as to accommodate a hanger.

[0772] Figure 48 (a) and Figure 48(b) shows a hanger unit 370 that can be mounted on the hanger hook portion 682. The clothes treating apparatus 1000 may further include at least one hanger unit 370 that can be attached to and detached from the plurality of hangers 610.

[0773] At least one of the hanger units 370 may include: a clothes hook 374, which is annular and has a portion open so that clothes can be placed on any one of the plurality of hangers; and a clothes hanger body 371, which is connected to one end of the clothes hook 374 and is used to place the clothes.

[0774] The hanger body 371 may be inclined downward from the clothes hook 374 toward both sides of the hanger body 371 to correspond to shoulders where clothes are placed.

[0775] The hanger unit 370 may further include a body cover 379 coupled to the lower portion of the hanger body 371. Similarly, the body cover 379 may be inclined downward toward the sides of the hanger body 371. Furthermore, the hanger unit 370 may further include a connecting rod 377 extending parallel to the lower portion of the hanger body 371 and connecting the lower portion of the hanger body 371 from one side to the other.

[0776] The connecting rod 377 may be connected to the connecting rod support parts 378 protruding from both sides of the body cover 379 .

[0777] At least one sliding clip 3771, 3772 that can slide along the connecting rod 377 can be provided in the connecting rod 377. This is for placing tops on the hanger body, or using the sliding clips 3771, 3772 to place bottoms.

[0778] A first belt groove 3711 and a second belt groove 3712 for accommodating two shoulder straps of a dress may be formed on the shoulder of the hanger body 371 .

[0779] In addition, refer to Figure 49 (a), the shoulders of the hanger body 371 may be provided with rubber pads 3713, 3714 made of a polymer material such as rubber to prevent the clothes from slipping.

[0780] Figure 49 (a) decomposes the hanger unit. At least one of the hanger units 370 may include: a clothes hook 374 in an annular shape with a portion open to allow clothes to be placed on any one of the plurality of hangers; and a hanger body 371 connected to one end of the clothes hook 374 for placing the clothes.

[0781] The hanger body 371 may include a hook rotation guide 373 coupled to the clothes hook 374 to move the clothes hook 374 and a guide connection portion 372 accommodating the hook rotation guide 373 therein to connect the clothes hook 374 and the hanger body 371 to each other.

[0782] The clothes hook 374 may include a hook opening portion 3741 formed by opening a portion of a ring. One end of the clothes hook 374 may be coupled to the hook rotation guide 373 .

[0783] Specifically, the clothes hook 374 can be connected to the hook rotation guide 373 by the clothes hook cap 375 through the hook combination opening hole 3729b formed through the guide connection part 372 along the first direction.

[0784] The hook rotation guide 373 may include a guide protrusion 3723 protruding in the radial direction of the hook coupling opening. The guide protrusion 3723 rotates and fixes the clothes hook 374.

[0785] In addition, the hook rotation guide 373 may be accommodated inside the guide connection portion 372 .

[0786] Reference Figure 49 (b), the guide connecting portion 372 may include: a hook combining opening hole 3729b, located on the surface facing the clothes hook 374; a guide accommodating opening portion 3729a, located on the surface facing the clothes hanger body 371; and a guide accommodating portion 3729, which accommodates the hook rotation guide 373 therein through the guide accommodating opening portion 3729a.

[0787] The guide member receiving portion 3729 may be formed by penetrating the guide member connecting portion 372 along the first direction through the hooking opening hole 3729 b and the guide member receiving opening portion 3729 a .

[0788] The guide member accommodating portion 3729 may include: a first inner side surface, which is located on the inner side surface of the guide member accommodating portion 3729 and is close to the guide member accommodating opening portion 3729a; a second inner side surface 3727b, which is formed on the inner side surface of the guide member accommodating portion 3729 to have a diameter smaller than the first inner side surface 3727a; and a step surface 3727c, which connects the first inner side surface 3727a and the second inner side surface 3727b.

[0789] The second inner side surface 3727 b may have at least two guide grooves into which the guide protrusion 3723 can be inserted. Figure 49(b) shows a case where three guide grooves are provided.

[0790] That is, the second inner side surface 3727 b may include a first guide groove 3726 a and a second guide groove 3726 b formed in a groove shape along a first direction of the second inner side surface so that the guide protrusion 3723 can be inserted. Figure 49 (b) also additionally shows a third guide groove 3726c.

[0791] The hook rotation guide 373, specifically, the guide protrusion 3723 can be located in the first guide groove 3726a and the second guide groove 3726b, and can be moved to the first guide groove 3726a or the second guide groove 3726b through the step surface located between the first guide groove 3726a and the second guide groove 3726b.

[0792] Therefore, when the hook rotation guide 373 moves through the step surface between the first guide groove 3726a and the second guide groove 3726b, the clothes hook 374 will rotate relative to the clothes hanger body.

[0793] In addition, if the hook rotation guide 373 is located in one of the first guide groove 3726a and the second guide groove 3726b, the clothes hook 374 will be prevented from rotating relative to the clothes hanger body 371 and will be fixed.

[0794] The guide connecting portion 372 may further include a guide protrusion 3723 protruding from the surface coupled to the hanger body 371 toward the hanger body 371. Furthermore, the hanger body 371 may include a body coupling groove 3719 formed by a recessed portion where the guide protrusion 3723 couples with the hanger body. When the guide connecting portion 372 is coupled to the hanger body, the guide protrusion 3723 is inserted into the body coupling groove 3719.

[0795] This is to prevent the guide connecting portion 372 from rotating together when the clothes hanger 374 is rotated, and to make the connection between the guide connecting portion 372 and the clothes hanger body 371 more firmly.

[0796] The hanger unit 370 may further include a hook elastic member 3721 located between the hook rotation guide 373 and the hanger body 371 to elastically support the hook rotation guide.

[0797] This is to provide elastic force for pushing the clothes hook 374 escaping from any one of the first guide groove 3726a and the second guide groove 3726b into the other guide groove after being rotated.

[0798] The hanger unit 370 may further include an elastic member support portion 3722 supporting the hook elastic member 3721. The elastic member support portion 3722 may include a hook coupling groove 634 with an open surface thereof, and the hook elastic member 3721 may be inserted into the hook coupling groove 634.

[0799] The hanger body 371 may further include a body opening portion 371 a communicating with the guide member accommodating opening portion 3729 a , and the elastic member supporting portion 3722 is inserted into the body opening portion 371 a .

[0800] The elastic member support portion 3722 may be configured to have a partially protruding shape on its outer side to prevent the elastic member support portion 3722 from rotating when the clothes hook 374 rotates, and the main body opening portion 371a may also be configured to have a corresponding shape.

[0801] Figure 50 (a) to Figure 50 (c) shows an example of use of the clothes hanger unit 370. Figure 50 Similar to (a), the hanger unit 370 can be placed on any hanger in the direction AR1 parallel to the second direction.

[0802] If the shoulder width of the garment is greater than the depth of the first chamber 110, then Figure 50 As shown in (a), it cannot accommodate clothes. In this case, Figure 50 As shown in (b), the clothes can be accommodated in the first chamber after the clothes hook 374 of the clothes hanger unit 370 is rotated in the direction AR2 inclined to the second direction.

[0803] In addition, other clothes are also similar, in order to keep the distance between clothes, such as Figure 50 (c) The clothes can be placed on the hanger portion 600 after the clothes hook 374 is rotated in a direction inclined to the second direction.

[0804] If a general hanger is rotated and placed as described above, when the hanger portion 600 reciprocates, the hook portion is vibrated by the hanger portion 600 and is not fixed, so the rotation angle between the clothes hook 374 and the clothes hanger body 371 cannot be maintained and they move separately.

[0805] To prevent this, the clothes hanger unit 370 may include a first guide groove 3726 a and a second guide groove 3726 b into which the guide protrusion 3723 of the hook rotation guide 373 is inserted.

[0806] Figure 51 (a) to Figure 51 (c) shows an example of a method of rotating and fixing the clothes hook 374 in different steps. It is shown that the guide member receiving portion 3729 includes a first guide groove 3726a, a second guide groove 3726b and a third guide groove 3726c into which the guide member protrusion 3723 can be inserted.

[0807] Reference Figure 51 (a) shows a situation where the guide protrusion 3723 escapes from the second guide groove 3726b. If the user pushes the clothes hook 374, the hook rotation guide 373 will escape from the second guide groove 3726b.

[0808] The force pushing the clothes hook 374 will need to be greater than the elastic force of the hook elastic member 3721 .

[0809] Reference Figure 51 (b), after escaping the first guide groove 3726a, the user can rotate the clothes hook 374 in either a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction. At this time, the guide protrusion 3723 will move along the step surface 3727c.

[0810] In addition, as the guide protrusion 3723 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, it will meet the first guide groove 3726a or the third guide groove 3726c.

[0811] The hook elastic member 3721 provides elastic force to the hook rotation guide 373 , so that the guide protrusion 3723 can be inserted into any one of the first guide groove 3726 a and the third guide groove 3726 c .

[0812] Figure 51 (c) shows the guide protrusion 3723 inserted into the first guide groove 3726 a through the hook elastic member 3721 .

[0813] When the clothes hook 374 is located in a direction parallel to the clothes hanger body, the guide protrusion 3723 can be located in the second guide groove 3726b. In addition, as the user rotates the clothes hook 374 clockwise or counterclockwise, the guide protrusion 3723 will be located in the first guide groove 3726a and the third guide groove 3726c.

[0814] When the guide protrusion 3723 is inserted into and disposed in the three guide grooves 3726a, 3726b, 2736c, further rotation thereof is prevented, thereby preventing the clothes hook 374 from rotating arbitrarily relative to the clothes hanger body 371 even if the hanger portion 600 reciprocates.

[0815] This is just one example, and more guide slots can be provided to allow the clothes hook 374 to rotate at various angles. However, at least two guide slots are required to enable the clothes hook 374 to rotate at angles different from those when the clothes hook 374 is parallel to the clothes hanger body 371.

[0816] Figure 52 The figure shows an example of the guide protrusion 3723 being inserted into the first guide groove 3726a. When clothing is placed on the hanger unit 370, the hanger body 371 is subjected to a downward force due to the weight of the clothing. Meanwhile, the hook rotation guide 373 is inserted into the guide grooves 3726a, 3726b, and 2736c. As the guide connection portion 372 in the hanger body 371 is subjected to a downward force, the hook rotation guide 373 is inserted into the guide grooves 3726a, 3726b, and 2736c and is subjected to an upward force, thereby more stably securing the clothes hook 374.

[0817] Figure 53 (a) shows an example of an opening on a hook of a clothes hanger included in a conventional clothing handling device. In conventional clothes hangers, the opening size N1 is convex relative to the hanger body SA1, which has the hook and corresponds to the neck of the clothing. In this case, the opening size N1 is limited, and the hanger may become stuck to the hanger rod when the user places it on the hanger rod.

[0818] Figure 53 (b) shows an example of a hook opening 3741 of the hanger unit 370 described in the present invention in order to solve such a problem.

[0819] That is, the hanger unit 370 can maximize the size N2 of the hook opening 3741 by lowering the height of the two ends SA2 of the guide connection part 372, so that the user can more conveniently place the hanger unit 370 on the hanger part 600 or remove it from the hanger part 600.

[0820] The present invention can be implemented in various forms and variations, and its scope of rights is not limited by the above-mentioned embodiments. Therefore, if the variations of the embodiments include structural elements within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they should be considered to fall within the scope of the rights of the present invention.
