Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a garment handling apparatus. More specifically, it relates to a clothes hanger rod for holding garments. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing handling devices are devices developed for washing, drying, and removing wrinkles from clothes in homes and laundromats. The concept of clothing handling devices encompasses washing machines for washing clothes, dryers for drying clothes, washer / dryer machines that combine washing and drying functions, garment care machines for refreshing clothes, and steamers for removing wrinkles from clothes.

[0003] A steam iron is a device that supplies steam to clothing to remove wrinkles. Unlike a regular iron, a steam iron uses convection to heat clothing and remove wrinkles, rather than heating the clothing directly (e.g., by bringing the clothing into contact with a hard object).

[0004] In contrast, a clothes care apparatus is a device that keeps clothes comfortable and fresh. It can remove dust, eliminate odors, dry clothes, and add fragrance. Additionally, it can prevent static electricity, use dehumidified air or steam to remove wrinkles, and sterilize clothes.

[0005] In particular, garment care machines may include a so-called moving hanger, a hanger rod capable of shaking the garments after they are placed on it, to further improve dust removal performance, wrinkle removal performance, and garment drying performance. That is, it can be configured to allow the hanger rod on which the garments are placed to reciprocate in a predetermined direction.

[0006] Korean Patent Publication No. 10-1285890 discloses a hanger portion or hanger rod in the form of a rod capable of reciprocating left and right using the rotational force of a drive unit. The hanger portion is shaped like a long bar in the left-right direction with slots for hanging clothes. In this case, there is a problem that in order to hang the clothes in the slots of the hanger rod, the user needs to extend the clothes over the hanger portion. Therefore, the user's view is temporarily obstructed by the hanger rod, making it difficult to accurately hang the annular central portion of the clothes.

[0007] In addition, regarding the clothes hanger rod, there is a problem that, although the space for accommodating clothes, especially the height of the space, is limited, it is impossible to fully utilize the space between the clothes hanger rod and the drive unit, that is, the space between the upper surface and the clothes hanger rod.

[0008] Furthermore, since it is necessary to separate the clothes for drying and steaming, the grooves on the clothes hanger rod cannot be increased further, thus creating a problem that it cannot be used simply for the purpose of accommodating clothes. Summary of the Invention

[0009] The problem to be solved

[0010] First, the purpose of this invention is to improve the utilization rate of the space between the clothes hanger rod and the drive unit.

[0011] Secondly, the purpose of this invention is also to improve user convenience when hanging clothes on a clothes rack rod.

[0012] Third, the purpose of this invention is also to provide more slots for hanging clothes, thereby allowing the spacing of clothes to be placed to be changed according to the user's choice.

[0013] Fourth, the purpose of this invention is also to enable convenient hanging of clothing regardless of whether the user is left-handed or right-handed.

[0014] Technical solutions to the problem

[0015] To address the aforementioned problems, the present invention provides a garment handling apparatus that includes a hanger portion that allows for easier placement of garments by changing its shape and can hold more garments. Specifically, unlike existing garment handling apparatuses that consist of a hanger portion that is simply in a straight line and a support portion that supports the hanger portion by connecting to both ends, this invention, while having the same connection point with the support portion, does not provide a slot for placing garments on the hanger portion. Instead, it provides a slotting portion that extends downwards from the hanger portion and places the garments.

[0020] With the bottom surface of the first chamber as a reference, the first locking part and the third locking part can be located at the same height.

[0021] The maximum height from the bottom surface of the first chamber to the top surface of the first positioning body can be less than the height from the bottom surface of the first chamber to the position where the central body intersects with the first extension body. The maximum height from the bottom surface of the first chamber to the top surface of one of the plurality of second positioning bodies can be less than the height from the bottom surface of the first chamber to the position where the first body or the second body intersects with a second extension body. The second positioning body is combined with the second extension body and corresponds to it.

[0027] The first support portion can be combined with the lower side of the first connecting body on the lower side of the first support portion, and the second support portion can be combined with the lower side of the second connecting body on the lower side of the second support portion.

[0028] The drive unit may include a power conversion unit that reciprocates the hanger unit by converting the rotational force of the drive unit. The hanger unit may also include a groove located inside the central body and formed along the depth direction of the first chamber. The power conversion unit may include: a rotating protrusion that rotates by the rotational force of the drive unit; a connecting rod that extends from the rotating protrusion in a vertical direction; and a connecting protrusion that protrudes from one end of the connecting rod and inserts into the groove to reciprocate the hanger rod.

[0029] On the other hand, the central body is hemispherical in shape.

[0030] The top surfaces of the first, second, and third card slots can be curved surfaces.

[0031] Additionally, the garment placement section may further include a plurality of fourth locking sections, each of which engages with the other side of the left and right sides of the plurality of second extension bodies and forms a notch along the depth direction of the first chamber to accommodate garments. Each of the plurality of fourth locking sections may include: a fourth locking body, which engages with the other side of the left and right sides of the free end of the plurality of second extension bodies; a top surface of the fourth locking body, the surface of one side of the fourth locking body facing the upper surface of the first chamber; and a fourth locking groove, which penetrates the fourth locking body along the depth direction of the first chamber to form a partial opening on the top surface of the fourth locking body.

[0046] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The configuration of the apparatus or control methods described below are only for illustrating embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals denote the same constituent elements.

[0047] The specific terms used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only and do not limit the embodiments shown.

[0048] For example, expressions such as "same" not only indicate a state of strict sameness, but also a state diagram of differences in the degree to which tolerances or the same function are achieved.

[0049] For example, expressions such as "to any direction", "along any direction", "parallel", "vertical", "towards the center", "concentric", or "coaxial" indicate relative or absolute configurations. They not only indicate strictly corresponding configuration states, but also indicate relative displacements by angles or distances that have tolerances or can achieve the same function.

[0050] To illustrate the present invention, the following explanation will be based on a spatial orthogonal coordinate system of mutually orthogonal X, Y, and Z axes. Each axis (X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis) represents the two directions extending from each axis. A "+" sign preceding each axis (+X-axis, +Y-axis, +Z-axis) indicates a positive direction, which is one of the two directions extending from each axis. A "-" sign preceding each axis (-X-axis, -Y-axis, -Z-axis) indicates a negative direction, which is the remaining two directions extending from each axis.

[0051] The following descriptions of directions, such as "front (+X), back (-X), left (+Y), right (-Y), up (+Z), down (-Z)," are defined based on the XYZ coordinate axes. However, this is only used to clearly illustrate the present invention and to make the present invention clearly understood. Of course, the various directions can be defined differently depending on the selection of the reference.

[0052] The terms "first," "second," "third," etc., used before the constituent elements mentioned below are merely to avoid confusion and are unrelated to the order, importance, or hierarchical relationship between the constituent elements. For example, it is also possible to implement an invention that does not have a first constituent element but only includes a second constituent element.

[0053] Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is a diagram showing an example of a garment handling device 1000. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2The clothing handling device 1000 of the present invention includes: a housing 10, with an inlet 11 provided on one side of the housing; a door 400 rotatably connected to the housing 10 to open and close the inlet 11; a first chamber 100 located inside the housing, wherein clothing inserted through the inlet 11 is accommodated in the first chamber 100; a first water tank 310 located at the lower part of the first chamber 100; a second water tank 330 located at the lower part of the first chamber 100 on one side of the first water tank 310, for storing condensate generated in the first chamber 100; and a clothes hanger 700 located inside the first chamber 100 for holding clothing.

[0054] Furthermore, the hanger portion 700 may include: a hanger main body portion 710, which is disposed along the width direction of the housing 10; an extension main body portion 730, which extends towards the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber between the two ends of the hanger main body portion 710; and a clothing placement portion 750, which is located on one side of the extension main body portion 730 and is used to place the clothing.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 The housing 10, together with the door 400, forms the appearance of the garment handling device 1000. The housing 10 may include an upper panel 12 forming the upper part of the housing 10 and side panels 13 forming the side parts of the housing 10, and may have an inlet 11 on the front of the housing 10. Garments can be contained or withdrawn from a first chamber 100 located inside the housing 10 through the inlet 11.

[0056] A second chamber (not shown) may be located below the first chamber 100. The second chamber may accommodate... Figure 3 The various mechanical devices and control units required for garment care are shown. Since the second chamber is located below the first chamber 100 and behind the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 (described later), it is not visible when the door 400 is open.

[0057] The first chamber 100 may be located inside the housing 10, and is formed by an upper surface 101 of the first chamber forming the top surface of the first chamber 100, a bottom surface 102 of the first chamber forming the bottom surface of the first chamber 100, a back surface 107 of the first chamber forming the back surface of the first chamber, and a left side surface 1091 and a right side surface 1092 of the first chamber forming the side between the upper surface 101 and the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber. The front surface of the first chamber 100 may communicate with the inlet 11. The bottom surface 102 and the back surface 107 of the first chamber may be connected at an angle.

[0058] A sterilization and deodorization unit 1073 capable of sterilizing and deodorizing the air inside the first chamber can be provided on the back side 107 of the first chamber. The sterilization and deodorization unit 1073 may include an ultraviolet lamp. That is, ultraviolet light can be used to sterilize the air or deodorizing agents or ultraviolet light can be used to decompose odor particles. The sterilization and deodorization unit 1073 can irradiate ultraviolet light onto air drawn in due to convection. Additionally, the sterilization and deodorization unit 1073 may also include a filter (not shown) for filtering fine dust.

[0059] A back shelf 1071 for use with the first chamber 100 can be provided on the back side 107 of the first chamber, on which a shelf (not shown) can be hung. The back shelf 1071 can be located at a predetermined distance from the lower part of the sterilization and deodorization section 1073.

[0060] First shelf hangs 1091a, second shelf hangs 1092a (refer to) Figure 2 The first shelf hanger 1091a and the second shelf hanger 1092a can be located on both sides 1091 and 1092 of the first chamber, respectively, and are configured to support the shelf (not shown). The first shelf hanger 1091a and the second shelf hanger 1092a can be in the form of strips formed along the depth direction (X direction) of the first chamber. Alternatively, any structure capable of supporting the shelf can be used.

[0061] Behind the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber, specifically, at the inclined portion where the bottom surface 102 and the back surface 107 of the first chamber connect, a first port 111, a third port 112, and a second port 115 may be provided. The first port 111 and the third port 112 are used to supply steam generated by the steam unit 250 and air dehumidified and heated by the heat pump unit 230 from inside the second chamber to the first chamber 100. The second port 115 is used to draw air from the first chamber 100 again using the air supply unit 220. Additionally, an aroma supply unit 117 may be provided, which may contain an aromatherapy agent or aromatherapy tablet that adds fragrance when air is discharged from the first port 111. (See reference...) Figure 1 Although the fragrance supply unit 117 can be located above the first port 111, it can also be set in any position, as long as it can provide fragrance to the air supplied to the first chamber 100.

[0062] The second port 115 can also be used to discharge condensate formed by the condensation of steam from the first chamber 100. That is, the condensate formed on the inner circumferential surface of the first chamber 100 will flow or fall towards the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber due to its own weight. Since the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber forms an inclined surface towards the second port 115, the condensate can naturally move towards the second port 115. The condensate discharged from the second port 115 eventually flows along the gas supply pipe 221 (see reference). Figure 3 The gas flows down and is temporarily stored in a water collector (not shown) located at the lower inner side of the gas supply pipe.

[0063] Similarly, condensate generated on the inner surface 401 of the door (described later) falls along the door liner 420 disposed on the inner surface of the door to the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber, and is discharged to the water collector (not shown) through the second port 115. This condensate collected in the water collector can be drained by the drain pump 339 (see reference 1). Figure 3 The wastewater is discharged and concentrated in the second water tank 330.

[0064] The second port 115 can be located in the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber near the inlet 11. Therefore, the air inside the first chamber 100 can form a circulation structure where it is discharged through the first port 111 and drawn in through the second port 115. As for steam, it is discharged through the third port 112, and then, if condensed into condensate, is drawn in through the second port 115, and subsequently collected in a condensate collector (not shown).

[0065] The bottom surface 102 of the first chamber can be inclined downward from the back of the first chamber 100 toward the second port 115, so as to supply the condensed water inside the first chamber 100 to the second chamber more smoothly through the second port 115.

[0066] The door 400, rotatably coupled to the housing 10 and used to open and close the intake 11, may include a clothing hook 405 located on the inner surface 401 of the door facing the intake and used to hold clothing. Furthermore, the clothing hook 405 may be in the form of a ring or hook capable of hanging clothes or trousers. (See reference...) Figure 1 The clothing hook 405 may include a plurality of hooks for use with the pressure unit described later, so that the hooks can be hung in different positions according to the size of the trousers. The plurality of hooks may be arranged at predetermined intervals along the height of the door.

[0067] Door 400 may include an inner surface 401, which, when closed, is located on the back of door 400 or on the side of door 400 facing the first chamber 100. Door 400 may be rotatably connected to housing 10 via a hinged connection to open and close access port 11. For this purpose, door 400 may include hinges 411, 412 for rotatable engagement.

[0068] Additionally, the housing may be provided with door hinge joints 411a, 411b, 412a, and 412b, which can be engaged with the left or right side of the door. Therefore, by simply changing the position of the door hinges 411 and 412, the opening direction of the door can be changed according to whether the user is left-handed or right-handed. Figure 1 The diagram illustrates a configuration where the door opens counter-clockwise when viewed from above, assuming the user is right-handed. However, to open clockwise in a different manner, the door hinges 411 and 412 can be engaged only on opposite sides of the door 400, and then the door hinges 411 and 412 can be engaged with door hinge engagement portions 411b and 412b located on the left side of the front of the housing. This type of door is called a reversible door.

[0069] Door 400 may also include: a sealing part 430 for preventing steam from entering through steam unit 250 (see reference). Figure 3 Steam leakage supplied to the first chamber 100; and a door liner 420, disposed on the inner surface 401 of the door, guiding condensate generated on the inner surface 401 of the door to be discharged through the second port 115.

[0070] Normally, water boils at 100°C under atmospheric pressure, and the resulting water vapor is called steam. In contrast, moisture refers to water in the air at room temperature as droplets smaller than 1mm, similar to fog. Generally, the temperature of steam produced by boiling water is higher than that of water vapor, resulting in superior sterilization capabilities. Furthermore, due to the more active movement of water molecules at higher temperatures, steam has excellent penetration into clothing, making it more suitable than water for garment care.

[0071] The sealing part 430 can seal the space between the door 400 and the housing 10 when the door 400 is closed, thereby preventing steam or condensate from leaking to the outside. The sealing part 430 can be configured to surround the edge of the inner surface 401 of the door. The sealing part 430 can also function to cushion the impact between the housing 10 and the door 400 when the door is closed.

[0072] The sealing portion 430 may include: a first sealing gasket 431, sized to correspond to the front of the first chamber 100 in a portion of the inner surface 401 of the door; and a second sealing gasket 432, sized to correspond to the front of the lower part of the first chamber 100, i.e., the space where the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 are located.

[0073] The first sealing gasket 431 can prevent condensate generated in the first chamber 100 and the inner surface 401 of the door from flowing toward the first water tank 310 or the second water tank 330 by sealing the first chamber.

[0074] The lower gasket 431a of the first sealing gasket 431, which is disposed along the width direction of the door 400 and seals the lower part of the first chamber 100, and the upper gasket 432b of the second sealing gasket 432, which is disposed along the width direction of the door and seals the upper part of the water tank space 351, can contact the front contact portion 17 located between the first chamber 100 and the water tank space 351 and facing the inner surface 401 of the door.

[0075] The door liner 420 can be integrated with the inner door surface 401 to guide condensate generated on the inner door surface 401 towards the second port 115. Specifically, the door liner 420 can be formed into a convex shape that gradually slopes towards the lower part of the inner door surface 401. The lower end of the door liner 420 can protrude from the inner door surface 401 such that the lower end of the door liner 420 is located above the second port 115. Therefore, condensate flowing downwards along the door liner 420 can fall from the lower end of the door liner 420 and be discharged directly from the second port 115.

[0076] In contrast, condensate falling from the door liner 420 to the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber can be guided by an additional guide member provided on the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber and exit from the second port 115.

[0077] Reference Figure 2 An illumination unit 1015 for illuminating the first chamber may be provided on the upper surface 101 of the first chamber. Although Figure 2 The illustration shows a case where the lighting unit 1015 includes a plurality of lighting lamps, but it can also be a single lighting lamp.

[0078] Additionally, the garment handling device 1000 may include a hanger portion 700, which is disposed inside the first chamber 100 and is used to hold garments.

[0079] Reference Figure 2An enlarged view of the hanger portion 700, which may include: a hanger body portion 710, disposed along the width direction of the housing 10; an extension body portion 730, extending towards the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber between the two ends of the hanger body portion 710; and a clothing placement portion 750, located on one side of the extension body portion 730, for placing the clothing.

[0080] If the garment hook 405 is used to place garments placed on the inner surface 401 of the door for removing wrinkles and creating predetermined wrinkles, then the hanger 700 can be used to remove wrinkles and refresh garments by utilizing the reciprocating motion of the hanger 700.

[0081] It may include: a drive unit 600 that transmits power to enable the hanger unit 700 to reciprocate along a predetermined direction of motion; and a support frame 613 that supports the drive unit 600. (Ref) Figure 4 and Figure 5 )

[0082] The length of the main body 710 of the hanger along the width direction of the first chamber can be less than the width of the first chamber 100. This is to prevent the hanger 700 from colliding with the two sides 1091 and 1002 of the first chamber when it reciprocates along the width direction of the first chamber.

[0083] Reference Figure 2 The inner surface 401 of the door or the interior of the first chamber 100 may be provided with: a clothing hook 405 for attaching the trousers (or pants P) to the trouser hanger PH2; and a pressure unit 500 for applying pressure to the trousers P fixed by the clothing hook 405. Alternatively, the hanger 700 can be used to hold clothing on the clothing hanger PH1.

[0084] The reason for inverting the pants P, i.e. hanging the bottom hem above, is that the weight of the waist of the pants P, i.e. the upper part of the pants P, is greater than the weight of the lower part of the pants P, i.e. the pant leg part. Thus, the weight of the pants P itself causes the pants P to unfold to a certain extent.

[0085] The pressurizing unit 500 may include: a base plate (not shown) that supports the garment by engaging with the inner surface 401 of the door; and a pressurizing plate 510 that applies pressure to the trousers P by rotating toward the base plate (not shown). If the pressurizing plate 510 rotates toward the base plate 520, pressure can be applied to the trousers P.

[0086] Therefore, for the rotation of the pressure plate 510, the pressure part 500 may further include: a pressure part hinge (not shown) for hinge engagement between the pressure plate 510 and the base plate; and a pressure plate fixing part (not shown) for engaging and fixing the pressure plate 510 and the base plate.

[0087] If, after placing the trousers P between the pressure plate 510 and the base plate, the door 400 is closed, thereby exposing the trousers P to steam and hot air, the wrinkles of the trousers P can be removed, and sharp creases, so-called trouser lines, can be formed in the trouser leg section.

[0088] Therefore, it is necessary to allow steam to easily penetrate into the trousers P, and thus a steam penetration hole 515 can be included through the pressure plate 510. In addition, in order to prevent the seam PL formed along the length of the trouser leg from being pressed, a first recess (not shown) and a second recess (not shown) can be respectively provided on the surface of the pressure plate 510 that contacts the trousers P, above and below the steam penetration hole 515.

[0089] On the other hand, although the base plate (not shown) is made of an elastic material to support the pressurized clothing, it may also include an elastic member that elastically supports the base plate in the door.

[0090] like Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, in the garment handling apparatus 1000, a first water tank 310 for supplying water to the steam unit 250 and a second water tank 330 for storing condensate discharged from the first chamber 100 can be provided at the lower part of the first chamber 100 and the front part of the second chamber (not shown); Additionally, a water tank module frame (not shown) can be provided to form a water tank mounting space 351 for mounting the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330, the water tank module frame being able to separate the water tank mounting space 351 and the second chamber. That is, the water tank mounting space 351 and the second chamber (not shown) can be provided at the lower part of the first chamber 100, and the water tank mounting space 351 can be located closer to the door 400 than the second chamber. Therefore, the second chamber can be located behind the water tank mounting space 351.

[0091] Additionally, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2This illustrates a case where a storage section 320 is provided between the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330. That is, the second water tank 330 may be located at a position at least a predetermined distance D1 away from one side of the first water tank 310. However, it is also possible to configure it differently, with one side of the first water tank 310 facing one side of the second water tank 330, without any other constituent elements.

[0092] The storage compartment 320 can store consumables such as cleaning tools or air freshener tablets. The storage compartment 320 can be configured to open when the user presses the front of the storage compartment 320 and close when the user presses it again.

[0093] The first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 can be configured to be separately mounted and detached from the water tank module frame (not shown). Alternatively, the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 can be combined into one unit and mounted and detached simultaneously.

[0094] When the user closes the door 400, the front of the first water tank 310 and the front of the second water tank 330 can face the inner surface 401 of the door. When the user opens the door 400, the front of the first water tank 310 and the front of the second water tank 330 can be exposed to the outside.

[0095] The front surfaces of the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 can each be made of a transparent or semi-transparent light-transmitting material, allowing the water levels in both tanks to be directly observed when the door 400 is opened. Alternatively, a first water tank window (not shown) and a second water tank window (not shown) can be provided on a portion of the front surface of each of the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330, allowing the water levels stored inside the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 to be confirmed.

[0096] The front of the first water tank 310 and the front of the second water tank 330 may respectively include a first water tank handle 315 and a second water tank handle 335. When the user pulls the first water tank handle 315 and the second water tank handle 335 respectively, the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 can rotate around the front end of the first water tank and the front end of the second water tank respectively, thereby separating them from the water tank module frame (not shown). Alternatively, when installing the first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330 onto the water tank module frame (not shown), they can also be positioned onto the water tank module frame (not shown) by rotation.

[0097] The garment handling apparatus 1000 of the present invention may include: a hanger section 700, located inside the first chamber 100, for holding garments; and a drive section 600 (see reference 1). Figure 4 and Figure 5 To generate rotational force, the hanger portion 700 reciprocates along the width direction of the housing 10. That is, the hanger portion 700 can vibrate along the width direction of the housing 10 to shake the clothes placed on it. This allows for the removal of dust or micro-dust adhering to the clothes, the sterilization and deodorization of the clothes using steam, and the removal of wrinkles using steam and the reciprocating motion of the hanger portion. These processes can be referred to as garment care, and the hanger portion 700 that reciprocates along the width direction of the housing 10 can be called a moving hanger.

[0098] In this instruction manual, wrinkles refer to fine lines that form unintentionally after clothing has been worn or after washing or drying. That is, it refers to the form of wrinkles that appear on clothing unintentionally due to use, washing, or drying, rather than wrinkles (pleat or crease) that are intended for aesthetics or function from the design stage.

[0099] Reference Figure 5 The drive unit 600 can be located between the upper panel 12 and the upper surface 101 of the first chamber. This is to prevent the drive unit 600 from being exposed to the user for the sake of the aesthetics of the first chamber 100. The drive unit 600 may include a first support portion 671 and a second support portion 672 connected to both ends of the hanger portion 700. The hanger portion 700 can be supported by the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672. In addition, it can be configured that when the hanger portion 700 reciprocates along the width direction of the housing 10, the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 can also rotate with the direction of movement of the hanger portion 700.

[0100] The first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 can be connected to the drive portion 600 and the hanger portion 700 through the first upper connecting hole 1011 and the second upper connecting hole 1012 that pass through the upper surface 101 of the first chamber.

[0101] On the other hand, the housing 10 can be made of metal, but it can also be made of plastic if rigidity can be maintained. Additionally, the first chamber 100 can be formed by plastic injection molding. Although the first chamber 100 can be attached to the housing 10 by a frame (not shown), it is also possible to use foamed plastic, such as polyurethane, to fill the space between the housing 10 and the first chamber 100, or between the housing 10 and the second chamber 200.

[0102] Figure 3 Various mechanical devices housed within the second chamber 200 are shown. As previously described, the second chamber 200 is located below the first chamber 100 and behind the water tank space 351. The mechanical devices may include means enabling the clothing treatment device 1000 to function as a clothing care device. This is for the purpose of removing wrinkles, deodorizing, and sterilizing clothing.

[0103] Reference Figure 3 (a) Inside the second chamber 200, the following components may be provided: an air supply unit 220 for drawing in air from the first chamber 100; a steam unit 250 for receiving water from the first water tank 310 and generating steam, then supplying steam to the first chamber 100; and a heat pump unit 230 for dehumidifying and heating the air drawn in by the air supply unit 220, then discharging it into the first chamber 100. The steam unit 250, the air supply unit 220, and the heat pump unit 230 are disposed on the base 210.

[0104] The base 210 may be equipped with a support portion 280 for supporting the steam unit 250 and the heat pump unit 230. The support portion 280 may include a first support 281 that is closer to the air supply unit 220 and a second support 282 that is farther from the air supply unit 220.

[0105] A heat pump unit 230 may be provided on the upper part of the support portion 280, and a steam unit 250 may be provided on the inner side of the support portion 280, that is, in a receiving area S formed between the support portion 280 and the base 210. In addition, a control unit 270 for controlling the air supply unit 220, the steam unit 250 and the heat pump unit 230 may be provided in the receiving area S.

[0106] However, this is only one example; the control unit 270 may be located behind the second chamber 200. When located behind the second chamber 200, the control unit 270 can communicate with the second chamber 200 and be installed or removed via a rear panel (not shown) located on the back of the housing.

[0107] In addition, the control unit 270 can also control the pressurization unit 500, which will be described later. Furthermore, it can also control the drive unit 600 (see reference 600). Figure 3 The reciprocating motion of .

[0108] The steam unit 250 is provided to sterilize, deodorize and remove wrinkles from clothing placed in the first chamber 100. The air supply unit 220 and the heat pump unit 230 are provided to circulate the air in the first chamber 100 and dehumidify it through heat exchange.

[0109] Reference Figure 3 (b) The air supply unit 220 may include an air supply fan 226 and an air supply duct 221. Referring to the direction of the inlet 11 as the front and the direction of the back of the first chamber as the rear, the air supply duct 221 may be located in front of the air supply fan 226, and a water tank module frame may be located in front of the air supply duct 221. Therefore, the water tank module frame can form a water tank mounting space 351, and separate the water tank mounting space 351 from the second chamber 200.

[0110] The first water tank 310 and the second water tank 330, which are mounted on the water tank module frame, can be located near one of the two sides of the tank body 10. For example, the first water tank 310 can be located in the water tank mounting space 351 closer to the right side of the tank body 10 than the left side, and conversely, the second water tank 330 can be located closer to the left side of the tank body 10 than the right side.

[0111] Similar to the location of the first water tank 310, the steam unit 250 can also be located inside the second chamber 200, closer to the right side of the tank body 10 than to the left side. This is to simplify the flow path of water supply from the first water tank 310 to the steam unit 250 by arranging the steam unit 250 behind the first water tank 310.

[0112] The steam unit 250 may include: a storage section 251 for storing water; and a heater 2501 located inside the storage section 251 for heating the water. Additionally, it may include a steam temperature sensor 9131 for measuring the temperature of the water stored in the storage section 251.

[0113] The water located in the storage section 251 can be heated by the heater 2501. The steam generated by heating can be supplied to the first chamber 100 along a steam flow path (not shown) and via a third port 112 provided on the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber.

[0114] The water used in the steam unit 250 can be received by the first water tank 310. If the first water tank 310 is placed in the water tank installation space 351, the water supply check valve (not shown) provided on the bottom surface of the first water tank 310 is opened, thereby supplying water to the storage unit 251 through the water supply flow path connected to the water supply check valve.

[0115] If the first water tank 310 is located closer to the left side of the tank 10 than the right side, then the corresponding steam unit 250 can also be located closer to the left side of the tank 10 than the right side. This is to reduce the length of the water supply path (not shown) connecting the first water tank 310 and the steam unit 250 and to simplify it as much as possible.

[0116] To circulate air in the first chamber 100, the air supply unit 220 draws in air through the second port 115 located on the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber and the air supply pipe 221. The air supply pipe 221 may include: an air supply pipe inlet 2213, configured in a shape corresponding to the second port 115; an air supply pipe body 2211, which moves the drawn-in air toward the air supply fan 226; and an air supply pipe outlet 2215, connected to the inlet of the air supply fan 226.

[0117] The blower fan 226 is a type of centrifugal blower that uses centrifugal force to expel the intake air. The blower fan 226 can be connected to the heat pump unit 230 through the blower shroud 224. Therefore, the air intake by the blower fan 226 is connected to the air inlet 2311 of the duct shroud 231, which is connected to the air outlet 2242 of the blower shroud 224.

[0118] The heat pump unit 230 may include: a duct cover 231, which is a passage for air movement; an air inlet 2311, located at one end of the duct cover 231, for drawing in air from the fan 226; and an air outlet 2312, located at the other end of the duct cover 231, for discharging air into the first chamber 100.

[0119] The heat pump unit 230 may further include a first heat exchanger (not shown) and a second heat exchanger (not shown), which are located inside the duct housing 231 and exchange heat with the intake air. Additionally, the heat pump unit 230 may also include a compressor 234 located outside the duct housing 231, which compresses and circulates refrigerant before supplying it to the first and second heat exchangers.

[0120] The compressor 234 can be located on the side of the support portion 280. Since the first water tank 310 is located near one side of the housing 10, and the steam unit 250 and the support portion 280 are also located inside the second chamber 200 near one side of the housing 10, the compressor 234 can be located closer to one side of the housing 10 than the other side of the housing 10. For example, refer to… Figure 3 (b) The compressor 234 is located on the right side (i.e., closer to the right side than the left side of the housing), and the support part 280 and the steam unit 250 are located on the left side (closer to the left side than the right side of the housing).

[0121] Additionally, the air supply pipe 221 may include an air supply pipe inlet 2213, which draws in air from the first chamber 100 by communicating with the second port 115 located on the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber. Furthermore, the air supply pipe inlet 2213 may form an inclined flow path. This is to facilitate the movement of condensate generated in the first chamber 100 and the door 400 via the air supply pipe inlet 2213 communicating with the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber and along the inclined flow path towards a water collector (not shown) located at the lower inner part of the air supply pipe 221.

[0122] An air supply duct 221 is provided in front of the blower fan 226, and a steam unit 250 and a heat pump unit 230 can be arranged behind the blower fan 226. Furthermore, the heat pump unit 230 can be supported by a support member 280. The support member 280 can be combined with a base 210 forming the bottom of the second chamber 200. Therefore, the support member 280 can create a predetermined distance between the base 210 and the heat pump unit 230, and can also create a predetermined receiving area S between the support member 280 and the base 210.

[0123] A steam unit 250 may be provided in the receiving area S, and the steam unit 250 may be combined with the support portion 280 in the receiving area S. Alternatively, the steam unit 250 may be combined with the support portion 280 while being spaced apart from the base 210.

[0124] and Figure 3 Unlike shown in (b), in order to circulate air in the first chamber 100, the air supply unit 220 may also be disposed inside the duct cover 231. Alternatively, it may be disposed between the air outlet 2312 and the second heat exchanger (or condenser). Air discharged through the air outlet 2312 may flow into the interior of the first chamber 100 through the first port 111 communicating with the air outlet 2312.

[0125] Condensate may be generated in the pipe enclosure 231 due to heat exchange between the first heat exchanger (or evaporator) and the drawn-in air. The condensate generated in the heat pump unit 230 can move through the bottom of the pipe enclosure 231 toward a water collector (not shown) and be discharged toward the second water tank 330.

[0126] Air and / or steam supplied by the heat pump unit 230 and the steam unit 250 are applied to clothing contained within the first chamber 100, thereby affecting the physical or chemical properties of the clothing. For example, the fabric structure of the clothing is relaxed by the hot air or steam, thereby removing wrinkles; odor molecules attached to the clothing react with the steam, thereby removing odors. Furthermore, the hot air and / or steam supplied by the heat pump unit 230 and the steam unit 250 can kill microorganisms such as bacteria, mold, and viruses residing on the clothing.

[0127] Figure 4 The drive unit 600 and the hanger unit 700 of the garment handling apparatus 1000 of the present invention are shown. The garment handling apparatus 1000 may include the drive unit 600 to cause the garments placed on the hanger unit 700 to sway and to cause the hanger unit 700 to reciprocate along the width direction of the housing 10. Figure 5 As shown, the drive unit 600 can be located in the space M between the upper panel 12 and the upper surface 101 of the first chamber. This is not only for aesthetic reasons to prevent the drive unit 600 from being exposed to the user, but also to prevent the drive unit 600 from being exposed to moisture and high temperature inside the first chamber 100.

[0128] The drive unit 600 may include: a motor 620 for generating rotational force; and a power conversion unit 680 for converting the rotational force of the motor 620 to reciprocate the hanger portion. Additionally, the drive unit 600 may include a first support portion 671 and a second support portion 672 supporting the hanger portion. The first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 may be positioned opposite each other across the motor 620. The first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 are connected to both ends of the hanger body portion 710 to support the hanger body portion 710, and are capable of moving in the same direction when the hanger body portion 710 moves.

[0129] The drive unit 600 may further include a support frame 613, which supports the first support unit 671 and the second support unit 672, and also supports the motor 620.

[0130] The drive unit 600 can be configured in the space between the first chamber 100 and the housing 10, located on the upper side of the first chamber 100. The drive unit 600 may include a motor 620 that generates rotational force. The drive unit 600 may be mounted on a support frame 613 fixed between the first chamber 100 and the housing 10. The support frame 613 can buffer vibrations generated when the drive unit 600 is in operation.

[0131] By positioning the drive unit 600 on the upper side of the first chamber 100, sufficient internal space within the first chamber 100 can be ensured, thereby enabling the processing of large volumes of clothing. Furthermore, while a side-mounted drive unit 600 would increase the width of the entire clothing processing apparatus 1000, the clothing processing apparatus 1000 of the present invention, with the drive unit 600 positioned on the upper side of the first chamber 100, has the advantage of achieving an overall slim profile. Because the clothing processing apparatus 1000 can be implemented with a relatively thin profile, it is easy to install in confined spaces such as indoor spaces. Additionally, by utilizing the external upper space of the first chamber 100 to house the drive unit 600, the internal space of the first chamber 100 can be maximized, thereby increasing the amount of clothing that can be processed. Moreover, components susceptible to moisture, such as the motor 620, can be prevented from being exposed to the steam-sprayed first chamber 100.

[0132] The drive unit 600 may include a power transmission unit 640 that transmits the rotational force of the motor 620 to the power conversion unit 680. The power transmission unit 640 is used to transmit the rotational motion of the motor to the rotational motion of the power conversion unit 680, and can be implemented in various forms by those skilled in the art.

[0133] Reference Figure 4The power transmission unit 640 may include: a drive pulley 641, which is rotated by a motor 620; a driven pulley 642, which is connected to the drive pulley 641 and rotates together with it via a transmission belt 643; and a rotating shaft 644, which rotates by fastening to the driven pulley 642.

[0134] The diameter of the driven pulley 642 is larger than the diameter of the driving pulley 641. Since the driving pulley 641 receives rotational force directly from the motor 620, it rotates at a higher speed. If the hanger section 700 reciprocates with the same cycle as the rotational motion generated by the motor, excessive vibration and noise are generated, and an excessive load is applied to the motor 620, ultimately reducing the efficiency of handling the clothes placed in the hanger section 700. Therefore, the reciprocating cycle of the hanger section 700 can be appropriately adjusted by making the diameter of the driven pulley 642 larger than the diameter of the driving pulley 641. Preferably, the diameter ratio of the driving pulley 641 to the driven pulley 642 is 1:5 to 1:15.

[0135] On the other hand, the power transmission unit 640 can be implemented in various ways to replace the aforementioned driving pulley 641, driven pulley 642 and transmission belt 643, for example, it can be composed of driving gear, driven gear and chain.

[0136] Additionally, the garment handling device 1000 may also include a bearing portion 650 that covers the rotating shaft 644. The bearing portion 650 may include a bearing housing 651 forming the external appearance, and a first bearing (not shown) disposed between the rotating shaft 644 and the inner surface of the bearing housing 651. The bearing portion 650 is fixed to the support frame 613 and supports the rotating shaft 644, thereby ensuring smooth rotation of the rotating shaft 644. Preferably, the first bearing may be an oilless bearing to prevent contamination of garments housed inside the first chamber 100.

[0137] The power conversion unit 680 can receive rotational motion from the power transmission unit 640, causing the hanger portion 700 to reciprocate along the width direction of the first chamber 100. The power conversion unit 680 may include: a rotating protrusion 681 connected to the rotation shaft 644 of the power transmission unit 640; a connecting rod 682 extending from the rotating protrusion 681; and a connecting protrusion 683 protruding from one end of the connecting rod 682, rotating about the rotation shaft 644, and inserted into the slot 7132 provided in the hanger portion 700.

[0138] The rotating protrusion 681 is formed at one end of the power conversion section 680 and includes an insertion hole (not shown) for the insertion of the rotating shaft 644. Preferably, the connecting rod 682 extends from the rotating protrusion 681 in a direction substantially perpendicular to the rotating shaft 644. The connecting protrusion 683 may extend downward from one end of the connecting rod 682.

[0139] As the rotation axis 644 rotates, the connecting protrusion 683 rotates with a predetermined radius starting from the rotation axis 644. If the connecting rod 682 is formed in a direction orthogonal to the rotation axis 644, the predetermined radius may be the length of the connecting rod 682.

[0140] Finally, the connecting protrusion 683 rotates when the connecting rod 682 rotates. The connecting protrusion 683 can be inserted into the groove 7132. Specifically, the groove 7132 may also include a groove rib 7132a forming an internal space 7133, and the connecting protrusion 683 is located in the internal space 7133.

[0141] Preferably, the groove 7132 is formed elongated in a direction orthogonal to the direction of movement of the hanger portion 700. That is, when the hanger portion 700 reciprocates along the width direction (Y / -Y direction) of the first chamber 100, the groove 7132 is formed along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber 100.

[0142] If the hanger portion 700 and the drive portion 600 are viewed from above, the force transmitted to the hanger portion 700 through the connecting protrusion 683 when the connecting protrusion 683 rotates can always be decomposed in the width direction (Y / -Y direction) and the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber 100. If the length of the groove 7132 in the depth direction is greater than the rotation diameter of the connecting rod 682 when it rotates, the force is transmitted to the hanger portion 700 through the groove 7132 along the width direction (Y / -Y direction) of the first chamber 100, but not along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber 100. Even if the length of the groove 7132 in the depth direction is less than the rotation diameter of the connecting rod 682 when it rotates, most of the force will not be transmitted along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber 100 when the power conversion portion 680 rotates.

[0143] Therefore, the hanger portion 700 can reciprocate along the width direction (Y / -Y direction) of the first chamber 100 through the shape of the groove 7132.

[0144] On the other hand, in the central body 713 (refer to) Figure 6Inside the central body 713, water may accumulate due to the condensation of moisture contained in the humid air within the first chamber 100. Therefore, the central body 713 may include a drain hole (not shown) to drain the accumulated water to the outside of the central body 713.

[0145] The first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672, supported by the support frame 613 and connected to the hanger portion 700, and supporting the hanger portion 700 inside the first chamber 100, may include elastic members to allow the hanger portion 700 to reciprocate smoothly. Preferably, the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 are plate-shaped and elongated in the front-rear direction, with one end connected to the support frame 613 or the housing 10 and the other end connected to one side of the hanger portion 700, to restrict the reciprocating movement of the hanger portion 700 along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber. That is, the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 may be connected to both ends of the hanger portion 700, specifically, both ends of the hanger body portion 710.

[0146] Figure 4 The drive unit 600 shown in (a) is only one example. Alternatively, the hanger unit 700 can be reciprocated by using an eccentric mass through simple harmonic motion, which is different from this.

[0147] Reference Figure 4 (a) The drive unit 600 may further include a sensing unit 660 for controlling the position of the hanger unit 700. The sensing unit 660 may include: a magnet 661 disposed on the driven pulley 642; and a magnetic force sensor 665 disposed on the bearing housing 651 supporting the rotating shaft, and connected to the control unit 270 (see reference). Figure 3 )connect.

[0148] This is to ensure that the hanger portion 700 returns to its initial position, i.e., the position in the middle of the first chamber 100, when the operation of the clothing handling device 1000 ends. This is because if the hanger portion 700 is held to one side of the first chamber 100, an unnecessary load is applied to the first and second support portions 672 supporting the hanger portion 700, which may reduce the aesthetic appeal for the user opening the door 400. Therefore, the drive unit 600 may also include a sensing unit 660 for determining the position of the hanger portion 700.

[0149] In the above embodiment, the case where the magnet 661 is disposed on the driven pulley 642 and the magnetic force sensing sensor 665 is disposed on the bearing cover is described. However, the positions can be changed in various forms, as long as the magnetic force sensing sensor 665 can sense the magnetic force of the magnet 661.

[0150] The support frame 613 may include a first support through hole 6131 and a second support through hole 6132, which are formed by passing through the support frame 613 in a manner corresponding to the length of the hanger body 710. A first support portion 671 and a second support portion 672 can be inserted into and joined to the support frame 613 through the first support through hole 6131 and the second support through hole 6132. Furthermore, a conversion through hole 6133 may be provided in the center of the support frame 613 to insert a power conversion portion 680 and connect it to the slot 7132.

[0151] Figure 4 (a) shows an example of the hanger portion 700, which is a feature of the present invention. Figure 4 (b) shows an example of an existing hanger section 800. (See reference...) Figure 4 (b) The existing hanger portion 800 may include a hanger body 851 in the shape of a straight strip. Furthermore, it may include a connecting body 854 formed by bending from both ends of the hanger body 851 toward the upper surface 101 of the first chamber. Fastening portions 7161 and 7171, which are coupled to the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672, are provided at both ends of the hanger body 851, i.e., at the points where the connecting body 854 and the hanger body 851 meet.

[0152] Furthermore, the hanger body 851 may be provided with a slot 852 formed in a way that allows for hanging clothes. The outer surface of the slot 852 may be made of an elastic material similar to rubber, so the user needs to apply a specified force to hang the clothes in or detach the clothes from the slot 852.

[0153] The mechanism of the drive unit 600 of the existing hanger section 800 can be the same as that of the present invention. That is, the power conversion unit 680 is inserted into the slot 856 to cause the hanger body 851 to reciprocate left and right.

[0154] However, in order to hang the garment hanger on the hanger body 851, the user needs to extend the hook portion of the hanger over the top of the hanger body 851 and suspend it in the slot 852. Considering the position of the hanger body 851, typically, the user reaches upwards to extend the hook over the top of the hanger body 851, and then suspends the hook portion after determining the position of the slot 852. Therefore, the user's view is obstructed by the hanger body 851, making it difficult to determine whether the portion of the hook portion that should be suspended in the slot is accurately positioned in the slot 852. This inconvenience arises because the hook portion needs to extend over the top of the hanger body 851.

[0155] Furthermore, the existing hanger body 851, first support portion 671, and second support portion 672 can be connected by fastening portions 8541 located at both ends of the hanger body 851. This means that the height of the hanger body 851 from the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber depends on the lengths of the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672. Therefore, there is a problem that the space from the height where the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 intersect with the hanger body 851 to the upper surface 101 of the first chamber cannot be reduced in order to accommodate clothing.

[0156] Furthermore, there is a problem that the number of multiple slots 852 configured on the hanger body 851 cannot be increased. This is because if the size of the first chamber 100 is determined, the length of the hanger body 851 is also determined, and it is necessary to ensure that the clothing spacing is above a specified interval in order to allow for steam penetration and hot air supply.

[0157] This invention is intended to solve various problems existing in the existing hanger section 800. Figure 4 (a) shows an example of the hanger portion 700 of the present invention. Unlike the conventional hanger portion 800, the hanger portion 700 may include: a hanger body portion 710 disposed along the width direction of the housing 10; an extension body portion 730 extending toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber between the two ends of the hanger body portion 710; and a clothing placement portion 750 located on one side of the extension body portion 730 for placing the clothing.

[0158] Additionally, the hanger portion 700 may further include a first connecting body 716 and a second connecting body 717, which extend from both ends of the hanger body portion 710 toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber. The first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 may be combined with the first connecting body 716 and the second connecting body 717 to support the hanger portion 700.

[0159] Figure 5 The image shows the garment handling device 1000 viewed from the front with the door open. As mentioned earlier, the drive unit 600 can be located in the space M between the upper panel 12 and the upper surface 101 of the first chamber. This is not only for aesthetic reasons, but also to prevent the drive unit 600 from being exposed to the first chamber 100, which is supplied with steam and hot air for garment care, thus preventing corrosion and malfunction.

[0160] The drive unit 600 may include a first support 671 and a second support 672. One end of the first support 671 and the second support 672 is connected to the support frame 613, while the other end passes through the upper surface of the first chamber and connects to both ends of the hanger unit 700. To connect the drive unit 600 with the first support 671 and the second support 672 using the first support 671 and the second support 672, the upper surface 101 of the first chamber may include a first upper connecting hole 1011 and a second upper connecting hole 1012 formed through the upper surface 101 of the first chamber. Additionally, to insert the power conversion unit 680 into the slot, the upper surface 101 of the first chamber may also include a power conversion unit connecting hole (not shown) formed through the upper surface 101 of the first chamber. The power conversion unit connecting hole 1013 may be positioned corresponding to the position of the central body described later, particularly positioning the upper surface 101 of the first chamber so as to connect with the slot 7132.

[0161] Therefore, the power conversion section connecting hole 1013 can be located between the first upper connecting hole 1011 and the second upper connecting hole 1012.

[0162] Reference Figure 5 Although the power conversion unit 680 is inserted into the slot 7132 located inside the central body 713 (described later), it is mostly obscured by the central body 713 when viewed from the front of the garment handling device.

[0163] The dashed lines H1 and H2, marked along the width direction of the hanger section, indicate the positions of the existing hanger section 800. That is, if the same drive section 600 is provided with... Figure 4 As shown in (b), in the existing hanger section 800, the hanger body is located between H1 and H2. Therefore, in the hanger section 700, except for the first locking groove 7513 located in the central body, the positions of the plurality of second locking grooves 7523 located in the first body 711 and the second body 712 can be higher than the position of the locking groove 852 of the existing hanger section 800 with reference to the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber.

[0164] This is because, in the case of the existing hanger part 800, there are connecting bodies 854 at both ends of the hanger body 851 that are connected to the first support part 671 and the second support part 672. Therefore, the hanger body 851 is ultimately located at a position that is a distance from the upper surface 101 of the first chamber that is equivalent to the length of the first support part 671 and the second support part 672.

[0165] Conversely, in the case of the hanger portion 700 of the present invention, the position of the hanger body portion 710 is relatively higher than the position of the hanger body 851 of the conventional hanger portion 800. The first support portion 671 and the first connecting body 716 are joined with the second support portion 672 and the second connecting body 717 at the free ends of the first connecting body 716 and the second connecting body 717, which are bent toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber. Therefore, even though the lengths of the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 are the same as those in the prior art, since the hanger body portion 710 is located at a relatively higher position, even though the second locking portion 752 for placing clothing descends from the hanger body portion 710 toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber by a second length, the position of the locking groove for placing clothing can actually be higher than the position of the locking groove in the conventional hanger portion.

[0166] This means that longer garments can be accommodated in the first chamber 100 of the same size than when using the existing hanger section 800. Furthermore, it means that the space between the hanger section 700 and the upper surface 101 of the first chamber can be used more efficiently in terms of garment capacity.

[0167] Furthermore, the slot 852 of the existing hanger body 851 is simply a notch cut into the hanger body 851. Therefore, when placing clothing in the slot 852, the hook portion of the clothing hanger must extend beyond the upper part of the hanger body 851. Conversely, even though the hanger body 710 of the hanger portion 800 of the present invention is located at a position relatively higher than that of the existing hanger body 851, the first slot 751 and the second slot 752 for placing clothing can be located below the hanger body 710 due to the extension body 730. In addition, since clothing can be hung on the clothing placement portion 750 between the first extension body 731 and the plurality of second extension bodies 732 included in the extension body 730, the inconvenience of having the clothing hanger extend beyond the upper part of the hanger body 710 can be avoided.

[0168] Reference Figure 6 The hanger portion 700 may include: a hanger main body portion 710, which is disposed along the width direction of the housing 10; an extension main body portion 730, which extends towards the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber between the two ends of the hanger main body portion 710; and a clothing placement portion 750, which is located on one side of the extension main body portion 730 and is used to place the clothing.

[0169] More specifically, the hanger main body 710 may include: a central body 713 having an opening 7131 opening toward one side of the upper surface 101 of the first chamber; and a first body 711 and a second body 712 extending from the central body 713 toward the width direction of the first chamber 100, respectively; the extended body 730 may include: a first extended body 731 extending from the central body 713 toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber by a predetermined first length; and a plurality of second extended bodies 732 extending from the first body 711 and the second body 712 toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber by a predetermined second length.

[0170] In addition, for the purpose of storing clothing, the clothing storage part 750 may include: a first locking part 751, which is engaged with one of the left and right sides of the first extension body 731 and is notch-shaped along the depth direction of the first chamber 100; and a plurality of second locking parts 752, which are engaged with one of the left and right sides of each of the plurality of second extension bodies 732 and are notch-shaped along the depth direction of the first chamber 100.

[0171] That is, the existing hanger body 851 has a slotted shape in the form of a strip, while the hanger body 710 of the present invention may include a central body 713, a first body 711 and a second body. The first body 711 and the second body are located on both sides of the central body 713, closer to the opening 7131 than the lower part of the central body 713 and extend to the left and right.

[0172] The central body 713 has an opening on its upper surface 101 facing the first chamber, and a groove 7132 may be present inside the central body 713. The central body 713 may be a hollow hemispherical shape. This is because the groove 7132 is formed inside, and a connecting protrusion 683, which is part of the power conversion unit 680, may be inserted into the space 7133 inside the groove. Since the groove 7132 is provided inside the central body 713, most of the power conversion unit 680 is shielded by the central body 713, thus also serving to protect the power conversion unit 680.

[0173] The central body 713 is hemispherical in shape to ensure rotational space corresponding to the rotational diameter of the connecting rod 682 of the power conversion unit 680. Therefore, the radius of the opening 7131 can be greater than the length of the connecting rod 682.

[0174] The extended main body 730 may include: a first extended main body 731, formed by extending a predetermined first length from the central main body 713 toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber; and a plurality of second extended main bodies 732, formed by extending a predetermined second length from the first main body 711 and the second main bodies 712 toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber.

[0175] The first length and the second length may be the same or different. In addition, the second length of each of the plurality of second extension bodies 732 may be different.

[0176] Reference Figure 6 A plurality of second extension bodies 732 disposed on the first body 711 and the second body 712 can be arranged symmetrically spaced from each other with the central body 713 as the center. This is to prevent the weight of the hanger portion 700 from being biased to one side. Therefore, Figure 6 The illustration shows a scenario with a total of five extension bodies, including the first extension body 731, but this is only one embodiment.

[0177] The hanger portion 700 may include a first connecting body 716 and a second connecting body 717 formed by bending the first body 711 and the second body 712 toward the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber, respectively. Furthermore, since stress may concentrate at the locations where the first body 711 and the second body 712 meet the first connecting body 716 and the second connecting body 717 in the hanger portion 700, a first reinforcing rib 7162 and a second reinforcing rib 7172 may be provided to enhance rigidity.

[0178] Furthermore, the hanger portion 700 may include a first fastening portion 7161 and a second fastening portion 7171 for engaging with the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 respectively on the lower sides of the first connecting body 716 and the second connecting body 717. The engagement of the first fastening portion 7161 and the second fastening portion 7171 with the first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 may be a hook engagement or a threaded engagement. The first support portion 671 and the second support portion 672 may have engagement grooves at corresponding positions when engaged with the first fastening portion 7161 and the second fastening portion 7171.

[0179] This is similar to the existing hanger section 800, in order to ensure the distance that the hanger section 700 can move when reciprocating along the width direction of the first chamber.

[0180] Reference Figure 7(a) The first locking part 751 may include: a first locking body 7511, which is coupled to one of the left and right sides of the free end of the first extension body 731; a top surface 7512 of the first locking body, which is the surface of one side of the first locking body 7511 facing the upper surface 101 of the first chamber; and a first locking groove 7513, which is formed by penetrating the first locking body 7511, including a part of the top surface 7512 of the first locking body, along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber.

[0181] Furthermore, each of the plurality of second locking portions 752 may include: a second locking body 7521, which is attached to one of the left or right sides of the free end of the second extension body 732 corresponding to the plurality of second locking portions 752; a top surface 7522 of the second locking body, which is the surface of one side of the second locking body facing the upper surface 101 of the first chamber; and a second locking groove 7523, which is formed by penetrating the second locking body 7521, including a portion of the top surface 7522 of the second locking body, along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber.

[0182] That is, the locking parts 751 and 752 can form locking grooves with notches, which are formed along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber 100. This is to allow clothing contained in the space of the first chamber 100 to be placed along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber 100, thereby making efficient use of space.

[0183] The locking portions 751 and 752 are for hanging the upper or lower garment hooks. The locking portions 751 and 752 can be configured along the width direction (Y / -Y direction) of the first chamber 100 such that locking grooves are visible in the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber. To allow steam and hot air to pass between garments and penetrate evenly to each garment, the first extension body 731 and the plurality of second extension bodies 732 are preferably arranged at a predetermined distance. This is because if the space between the first extension body 731 and the second extension body 732, or between the plurality of second extension bodies 732, is too narrow, steam and hot air will have difficulty penetrating, potentially reducing the sterilization, wrinkle removal, and drying functions.

[0184] The clothing placement part may further include a third locking part, which is connected to the other side of the left and right sides of the first extension body 731 and has a notch shape along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber 100 to place clothing.

[0185] The third locking part 753 may include: a third locking body 7531, which is connected to the other side of the left and right sides of the free end of the first extension body 731; a top surface 7532 of the third locking body, which is the side of the third locking body 7531 facing the upper surface 101 of the first chamber; and a third locking groove 7533, which penetrates the third locking body 7531 along the depth direction of the first chamber and forms a part of the opening of the top surface 7532 of the third locking body.

[0186] This is because, even with thinner clothing such as shirts, steam and hot air can be supplied adequately even if the distance between the garments is small.

[0187] On the other hand, at least one side forming each of the slots 7513, 7523, and 7533 can be an inclined surface that is tilted inside each of the slot bodies 7511, 7521, and 7531. That is, the slot is formed in a notch shape (e.g., a V-shaped notch) in each slot body, and at least one side of the notch can be an inclined surface. Therefore, when a user hangs the hook portion of the garment in the first slot 7513, the second slot 7523, and the third slot 7533, it can be naturally placed in each slot 7513, 7523, and 7533 along the inclined surface of each slot.

[0188] Therefore, the slots 7513, 7523, and 7533 can have a wider entrance, and the width of the interior of the slots 7513, 7523, and 7533 is smaller than the entrance. For this reason, when the slot is a notch, at least one surface forming the slot can be inclined.

[0189] In contrast, the length of the side of the first card slot body 7511 that intersects with the first extension body 731 can be greater than the length of the other side of the first card slot body located in the opposite direction to the first card slot body. Therefore, the top surface 7512 of the first card slot body can tilt from one side of the first card slot body towards the other side. Alternatively, with the first card slot groove 7513 as the center, a portion of the top surface 7512 of the first card slot body located at the intersection of the top surface 7512 and the first extension body 731 can tilt towards the first card slot groove 7513. This is to naturally guide the user towards the first card slot groove 7513 when hanging a clothes hanger via the tilted top surface (see reference). Figure 8 ).

[0190] The top surface of the inclined card slot body can also be applied to other clothing storage parts, namely the second card slot body 7512, the third card slot body 7513 and the fourth card slot body (not shown).

[0191] Figure 7 This example shows a first locking portion 751 and a third locking portion 753 respectively provided on the left and right sides of the first extension body 731. Similarly, locking portions may also be provided on the left and right sides of a plurality of second extension bodies 732 (see reference). Figure 8 ).

[0192] That is, the hanger portion 700 may include a plurality of fourth locking portions (not shown), which are coupled to the other side of the left and right sides of the free ends of the second extension body 732 corresponding to the plurality of second locking portions 752. Each of the plurality of fourth locking portions may include: a fourth locking body (not shown); a top surface of the fourth locking body (not shown), which is the surface of one side of the fourth locking body facing the upper surface 101 of the first chamber; and a second locking groove (not shown), formed by penetrating the fourth locking body (not shown) along the depth direction (X / -X direction) of the first chamber, including a portion of the top surface of the fourth locking body (not shown).

[0193] This is because, not only can more clothes be accommodated when the first chamber 100 is simply used as a space to hold clothes, but also, in the case of thinner clothes such as shirts, even if the clothes are spaced close together, the penetration and drying of steam and hot air is easy.

[0194] Furthermore, when slots are provided on both sides of each extension body, it can be used regardless of whether the user is left-handed or right-handed. Additionally, the spacing between garments can be freely adjusted according to their thickness.

[0195] For example, Figure 7 (a) shows an example where the first extension body has two slots, allowing it to hold a total of six garments. This is to accommodate thinner garments in the first slot 751 and the third slot 753, thus enabling the handling of more garments. Similarly, since all extension bodies can include two slots, i.e., a plurality of second slots and a plurality of fourth slots, slots can also be provided on the left and right sides of the second extension body to hold 10 garments. Of course, if the number of extension bodies increases, more garments can be accommodated accordingly. This is referred to as a dual hanger.

[0196] On the other hand, the first locking portion 751 and the third locking portion 753 can be located at the same height with reference to the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber. This is for aesthetic symmetry. Furthermore, the distance between the first locking portion 751 and the third locking portion 753 can be less than the distance from the first locking portion 751 to the closest second locking portion 752 among the plurality of second locking portions 752, or the distance between adjacent second locking portions 752 among the plurality of second locking portions 752.

[0197] Furthermore, the maximum height from the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber to the top surface 7512 of the first locking body is less than the height from the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber to the intersection of the central body 713 and the first extension body 731. (Refer to...) Figure 7 (a) This means that the height from the bottom of the box to L1 is less than the height from the bottom of the box to L2. Therefore, unlike the existing hanger section 800, when the user places clothes, there is no need to laboriously cross the central body 713 to place them. The clothes can be easily placed in the first slot 7513 by the side of the downward-extending extension body.

[0198] That is, while in the prior art the hanger rod and the slot are formed as one piece, the hanger part 700 of the present invention can utilize an extended main body part 730 extending from the hanger main body part 710 corresponding to the existing hanger rod towards the bottom surface of the first chamber, so that the slotting parts 751, 752, 753 corresponding to the existing slot are configured to be separated from the hanger main body part 710. That is, the hanger main body part 710 and the clothing placement part 750 can be formed independently.

[0199] Therefore, after hanging the clothes between the various extension bodies, the user can approach the locking parts 751, 752, and 753 through the side of the extension body, thus preventing interference with the main body 710 of the clothes hanger.

[0200] Here, it is referred to as the maximum height to the top surface 7512 of the first card slot body because the top surface 7512 of the first card slot body can be as follows: Figure 6 The surface shape shown.

[0201] This means that clothing can be easily placed into the first card slot 7513 from the side of the first card slot 751 without any obstruction to the view. This is for the convenience of the user.

[0202] Similarly, the maximum height from the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber to the top surface 7522 of one of the plurality of second locking bodies 7521 can be less than the height from the bottom surface 102 of the first chamber to the position where it intersects with a corresponding second extension body 732 due to the combination of the first body 711 or the second body 712 with the one second locking body 7521. This means that when a user places clothing, each of the plurality of second locking slots 7523 can be accessed through the various sides of the plurality of second extension bodies.

[0203] Here, it is referred to as the maximum height to the top surface 7522 of the second card slot body because the top surface 7522 of the second card slot body can be as follows: Figure 6 The surface shape shown.

[0204] The reason why the top surface 7512 of the first card slot body and the top surface 7522 of the second card slot body are formed as curved surfaces is that the hook of the clothing hanger is curved. Therefore, when hanging the clothing hanger in the card slot grooves 7513, 7523, and 7533, it is easier to hang it than a top surface with sharp edges.

[0205] This also applies to the third card slot 753.

[0206] Reference Figure 7 In (a), the first length EL1 and the second length EL2 or EL3 can be different. In addition, the lengths EL2 and EL3 of the plurality of second extension bodies can also be different from each other.

[0207] Figure 7 (b) shows the hanger section 700 viewed from above. A groove 7132 can be formed inside the central body 713. The power conversion unit 680 is inserted into the groove 7132 and converts the rotational motion of the motor into a reciprocating motion along the width direction of the first chamber 100. This reciprocating motion along the width direction of the first chamber 100 can be a linear motion along the width direction of the first chamber 100, but it can also be an elliptical motion with a large eccentricity along the width direction of the first chamber 100. This can vary depending on the length of the groove and the length of the connecting rod. If half the length S1 of the groove 7132 is greater than the length of the connecting rod 682, the hanger section 700 can move linearly along the width direction of the first chamber. Conversely, if half the length S1 of the groove 7132 is shorter than the length of the connecting rod 682, the hanger section 700 can move elliptically about the width direction of the first chamber as its major axis.

[0208] Regardless of the situation, when viewed from the front of the garment handling device, the hanger section 700 can reciprocate with the width direction of the first chamber as the main direction.

[0209] Figure 7(c) shows the state of the hanger portion 700 as viewed from the left side 1091 of the first chamber. The distance from the upper surface 101 of the first chamber to the lower end of the first connecting body 716 may be less than the distance from the upper surface 101 of the first chamber to the lower end of the first extension body 731.

[0210] This is because the central body 713 accommodating the power conversion unit 680 needs to be larger than the first body 711 and the second body 712, and in order to easily place clothing through one side of the first extension body, the height from the bottom surface of the box to L1 needs to be less than the height from the bottom surface of the box to L2. Therefore, the distance from the upper surface 101 of the first chamber to the lower end of the first connecting body 716 can be less than the distance from the upper surface 101 of the first chamber to the lower end of the first extension body 731.

[0211] Figure 8 An example of a dual hanger with clothing storage sections 750 provided on both sides of the extension body 730 is shown. When hanging the clothing hanger PH1 in the clothing storage section 750, the user can approach the clothing storage section 750 from the side of the extension body 730, as indicated by arrow A1. Then, the user places the clothing hanger PH1 into the slot, or locking slot, inside the clothing storage section 750, as indicated by arrow A2. A portion of the clothing storage section 750 that connects to one side of the extension body can be tilted. Therefore, when the user moves the clothing hanger downwards, it naturally hangs in the slot inside the clothing storage section 750.

[0212] This invention can be modified in various forms, and therefore the scope of protection of this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Therefore, if a modified embodiment includes the constituent elements described in the claims of this invention, it should be considered to fall under the scope of this invention.
