Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the invention patent application with application number 201910468881.2, entitled "Clothing Processing Equipment", and filed on May 31, 2019. Technical Field

[0002] Embodiments of this disclosure relate to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0003] Generally, garment processing equipment is a household appliance configured to perform various processing procedures related to clothing (e.g., washing, drying, deodorizing, wrinkle removal, etc.). The concept of garment processing equipment includes washing machines for washing clothes, dryers for drying wet clothes, and air fresheners for removing unpleasant odors or wrinkles from clothing.

[0004] Conventional garment processing equipment cannot deodorize or remove wrinkles when using rollers designed to hold clothes and drive mechanisms to rotate them. In other words, deodorization or wrinkle removal in conventional garment processing equipment is usually performed while the rollers are rotating. Because the clothes in the rollers are wrinkled and not being ironed directly, deodorization or wrinkle removal is limited.

[0005] Furthermore, these conventional garment processing devices lack a mechanism for creating creases or wrinkles on clothing (pre-set wrinkles). Therefore, in order to create such creases on clothing, users are disadvantageously required to use a crease-creating device such as an iron after washing or drying. Summary of the Invention

[0051] The exemplary embodiments disclosed herein will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. For the sake of brevity, the same reference numerals may be used for the same or equivalent parts, and their descriptions will not be repeated. Singular designations may include plural designations unless they indicate a meaning distinct from the context. The drawings are provided to aid in the easy understanding of various technical features, and it should be understood that the embodiments presented herein are not limited to the drawings. Therefore, this disclosure should be construed as extending to any changes, equivalents, and substitutions, except for those specifically set forth in the drawings.

[0052] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the garment processing apparatus 100 according to this disclosure may include: a housing 1 defining the external design of the garment processing apparatus 100; an inner shell (2, receiving space) disposed within the housing and defining a predetermined space for holding garments; and supply units (31, 34, see below). Figure 2 The inner shell 2 is configured to supply at least one of air or moisture to the inner shell 2; and the presser P is disposed in the inner shell 2 and configured to reinforce folds or creases included in the design of the garment while pressing wrinkles not included in the design.

[0053] Supply units 31 and 34 may be located in machine room 3, and machine room 3 may have a predetermined space separated from inner shell 2. Figure 2 As an example, machine room 3 is separated by partition wall 17 to position machine room 3 below the inner shell.

[0054] like Figure 1 As shown, door 13 is rotatably connected to housing 1 in a direction away from and towards the front surface 11 relative to an axis provided along the height direction (Z-axis direction) of housing 1. The receiving space communicates with the outside via an opening 111 provided in the front surface 11, and the machine room 3 communicates with the outside via a communicating opening 112 provided in the front surface 11.

[0055] The opening 112 can be opened and closed via a machine room door 35 that is detachably connected to the housing 1. When the door 13 is rotated away from the front surface 11, both the opening 111 and the machine room door 35 can be exposed to the outside.

[0056] A clothes hanger or a first clothing support unit 15 for supporting clothing may be disposed in the door 13, and a clothes hanger or a second clothing support unit may be disposed in the inner shell 2.

[0057] Figure 1 An embodiment is illustrated in which the first garment support unit 15 is configured as a protrusion formed in a surface (e.g., the inner surface) of the door (forming the inner shell 2). In this case, the first garment support unit 15 can serve as a means for supporting the hanger H1.

[0058] The second garment support unit may include: a support rod 27, which is arranged along the width direction (Y-axis direction) or the depth direction (X-axis direction) of the inner shell 2; and a support rod fixing part 29, which is configured to fix both ends of the support rod to the upper surface of the inner shell 2. The support rod 27 can be used as a device to support the hooks of the hangers H2. Garments suspended on hangers H1 and H2 can be held in a state where they are unfolded by the first garment support unit 15 and the second garment support unit.

[0059] The supply unit may be configured as: an air supply unit 31, which is configured to supply heated air or unheated air to the inner shell 2; or a moisture supply unit 34, which is configured to supply heated steam or unheated mist to the inner shell 2.

[0060] The containment space air supply unit 31 may include: a duct configured to discharge air from the inner shell 2 to the outside and then guide air back into the inner shell; and a heat exchange unit configured to exchange heat with the air flowing along the duct.

[0061] The inner shell 2 and the machine room 3 can communicate with each other via an outlet port 21 and an inlet port 23 passing through the partition wall 17. One end of the pipe 311 can be connected to the outlet port 21, and the other end can be connected to the inlet port 23. In this case, the pipe 311 can be located in the machine room 3.

[0062] The heat exchange unit may include: a fan 318 that can rotate in the duct 311; and a heat pump configured to dehydrate and heat the air drawn into the duct 311.

[0063] The heat exchange unit configured as a heat pump may include: a refrigerant pipe 317 for providing a circulation path for the refrigerant; a first heat exchanger (312, evaporator) disposed between an outlet port 21 and a fan 318; a second heat exchanger (313, condenser) fixed to the refrigerant pipe 317 between the first heat exchanger 312 and the fan 318; a compressor 315 configured to circulate the refrigerant along the refrigerant pipe 317; and an expander 316 configured to reduce the pressure of the refrigerant that has passed through the second heat exchanger 313.

[0064] The first heat exchanger 312 and the second heat exchanger 313 may be disposed within the conduit 311. The compressor 315 and the expander 316 may be disposed outside the conduit 311. In this case, the compressor 315 and the expander may be disposed in the open area exposed when the machine room door 35 opens the communication opening 112.

[0065] The first heat exchanger 312 can be used as a device to absorb heat from pipe 311 and transfer the absorbed heat to the refrigerant passing through refrigerant pipe 317. The refrigerant may be evaporated when passing through the second heat exchanger 313 and condensed (or dehydrated) when passing through the first heat exchanger 312.

[0066] The second heat exchanger 313 can be used as a device that allows refrigerant discharged from the compressor 315 to transfer air that has passed through the first heat exchanger 312 to air. The refrigerant condenses as it passes through the second heat exchanger 313, and the air is heated as it passes through the second heat exchanger 313.

[0067] The figure illustrates an embodiment in which a humidification supply unit 34, located in the machine room 3, supplies steam to the inner shell 2. In this case, the humidification supply unit 34 may include: a storage tank 341 located in the machine room 3; a tank heater 343 located in the storage tank 341; and a supply pipe 345 configured to connect the storage tank 341 to the inner shell 2.

[0068] The storage tank 341 can be a device for storing water, and the tank heater 343 can be a device for converting water stored in the storage tank 341 into steam by heating the water. The supply pipe 345 can be a device for guiding steam from the storage tank 341 into the inner shell 2. One end of the supply pipe 345 can be fixed to the storage tank 341, while the other end can be connected to a moisture supply port (25, see...) Figure 1 )connect.

[0069] The storage tank 341 can be supplied with water from the supply tank 351, which is fixed to the machine room door 35. The supply tank 351 can be connected to the storage tank 341 via a connecting pipe 353, and the connecting pipe 353 can be opened and closed by a valve 355.

[0070] When the valve is open even without a pump, the supply tank 351 can be positioned higher than the storage tank 341 to allow water stored in the supply tank 351 to flow to the storage tank 341.

[0071] Unlike the aforementioned, the containment space moisture supply unit 34 may be configured to supply unheated steam. In this case, the containment space moisture supply unit 34 may include: a storage tank for storing water; an oscillator configured to generate moisture by agitating the water stored in the storage tank; and a supply pipe configured to guide the steam stored in the moisture supply unit.

[0072] The control panel 131 is located in door 13. The control panel 131 can display inputs and is configured to input control commands required to operate the containment space air supply unit 31 and containment space humidity supply unit 34, etc.

[0073] The garment processing apparatus 100 with the above-described structure can keep the garments spread out in the inner shell 2 while supplying moisture and heated air (hot air) to the inner shell 2 via the accommodating space moisture supply unit 34 and the accommodating space air supply unit 31. Therefore, the garment processing apparatus according to this disclosure can keep the garments in a flat, spread-out state in the inner shell 2 while supplying moisture or hot air, and unlike conventional garment processing apparatuses, it can prevent wrinkles in the garments by supplying hot air or steam to the rotating drum to perform deodorization and wrinkle removal.

[0074] Meanwhile, the presser P can be located in any area of ​​the inner shell 2. In other words, the presser P can be located on one of the multiple surfaces defining the inner shell 2. Figure 2 As an example, the presser P is disposed in the inner surface of door 13 (one surface of the inner shell), as one embodiment. Although Figure 2 An example is provided with one presser P, but two or more pressers may be provided in the garment handling device 100 according to this disclosure.

[0075] like Figure 1As shown, the presser P includes: a support unit 4 disposed in one of a plurality of surfaces defining the inner shell 2 and configured to provide a predetermined space for supporting clothing; and a compression unit 6 configured to press the clothing supported by the support unit.

[0076] The support unit 4 may be configured as one of the plurality of surfaces defining the inner shell 2 or as a support fixed to one of the plurality of surfaces. In this case, the compression unit 6 may be rotatably coupled to the support or to the surface to which the support is fixed. Figure 1 As an example, the support unit 4 is configured as a support body 41 fixed to the inner surface of the door 13. The compression unit 6 may be rotatably connected to the support body 41 or the inner surface of the door 13.

[0077] The support 41 may be formed of a rectangular plate whose width (or Y-axis direction) is less than its height (Z-axis direction). The support 41 may include: a fixing unit 411, which is fixed to the door 13; and a first support surface 412 and a second support surface 413, which extend from the right and left sides of the fixing unit 411, respectively.

[0078] Unlike the fixed unit 411, the free ends of the first support surface 412 and the second support surface 413 can be configured to maintain a preset distance from the inner surface of the door 13. When the free ends of the first support surface 412 and the second support surface 413 are spaced apart from the inner surface of the door 13 by a preset distance, the clothing can be compressed more effectively. Each of the support surfaces 412 and 413 can be used as a leaf spring (for pressing the clothing toward the support unit).

[0079] The support recess 42 may be further disposed in the support 41 and configured to provide a predetermined space for accommodating seams formed in the garment. The support recess 42 may be recessed from one surface of the fixing unit 411. The distance from the inner surface of the door 13 to the support surfaces 412 and 413 may be set to be greater than the distance from the surface of the fixing unit 411, such that the recess may be configured as a space formed between the two support surfaces 412 and 413.

[0080] The compression unit 6 may include a compression body 61, which can be rotatably connected to the support body 41 or to the inner surface of the door by means of connecting units 71, 73 and 75. Figure 1 As an example, the compression body 61 is attached to the inner surface of the door 13 as one embodiment.

[0081] The connecting unit may include a hinge 71, which is configured to connect the compression body 61 to the inner peripheral surface of the door 13. The hinge 71 can serve as a means of providing a rotation axis parallel to the height direction (the height direction of the inner shell or the Z-axis direction). Therefore, the compression body 61 can be rotated in the direction of the support 41 and in the direction away from the support 41 by using the hinge 71.

[0082] The connecting unit further includes: a connecting protrusion 73 disposed in the compression body 61; and a connecting groove 75 that detachably receives the connecting protrusion 73.

[0083] A moisture chamber 63 may be disposed in a surface of the compressor 61 facing the support 41. The moisture chamber 63 is a space for storing moisture supplied from the moisture supply unit 8. The moisture chamber 63 may be configured as a recessed groove extending from a surface of the compressor 61 facing the support in a direction away from the support.

[0084] To maximize the amount of moisture supplied to the clothing located between the support 41 and the compression body 61, it is preferable that the moisture chamber 63 is arranged along the height direction of the compression body 61 (the height direction of the inner shell or the Z-axis direction).

[0085] The moisture chamber 63 can be positioned corresponding to the support groove 42. This means that when the compression body 61 rotates toward the support 41, the moisture chamber 63 is positioned on the upper surface forming the support groove 42. When the moisture chamber 63 is positioned corresponding to the support groove 42, the moisture chamber 63 can also be used as a space to accommodate the seams formed in the garment.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, the compression body 61 is divided into a first body 612 and a second body 613 located on both sides of the moisture chamber 63. The first body 612 is the area that presses the first support surface 412 of the support body, and the second body 613 is the area that presses the second support surface 413 of the support body.

[0087] The moisture supply unit 8 may be disposed in the compressor 61 or the support 41 and serve as a device for supplying heated steam (or steam) or unheated steam (or mist) to the moisture chamber 63. Figure 3 An example is shown where the moisture supply unit 8 is detachably mounted in the compressor body 61.

[0088] In this case, the compressor 61 includes: a mounting portion 65 disposed between the first body 612 and the second body 613 and configured to detachably accommodate the moisture supply unit 8; and a power supply unit 651 disposed in the mounting portion 65 and connected to a power source.

[0089] The moisture supply unit 8 may include: a storage body 81 detachably connected to the mounting portion 65 and configured to define a predetermined space for storing water; a heater 83 disposed in the storage body and configured to heat water; a connection terminal 831 configured to connect the heater 83 to a power supply unit 651 when the storage body 81 is inserted into the mounting portion 65; and a discharge unit 851 configured to discharge steam from the storage body 81 to the moisture chamber 63. The connection terminal 831 may be exposed to the outside of the storage body 81 to serve as a means of electrically connecting the heater 83 and the power supply unit 651 to each other.

[0090] The storage body 81 may be configured with a hexagonal shape having an open top side and including a storage body through-hole 811 formed in a surface for inserting a heater 83 therein. The open side of the storage body 81 is closed by a cover 85, which may be detachably disposed within the storage body 81. This facilitates the supply of water to the storage body 81 or the washing of the storage body 81.

[0091] The discharge unit 851 may be configured as multiple discharge pipes passing through the cover 85. When the storage body 81 and the cover 85 are installed into the mounting part 65, each discharge pipe 851 must be located in the moisture chamber 63.

[0092] When the moisture supply unit 8 supplies mist to the moisture chamber 63, the moisture supply unit 8 includes: a storage body detachably disposed in the mounting portion 65 to store water; an oscillator configured to generate moisture by vibrating the water stored in the storage body; a connection terminal configured to connect the oscillator to a power supply unit when the storage body is inserted into the mounting portion 65; and a discharge unit configured to discharge steam from the storage body to the moisture chamber 63.

[0093] The operation of the garment processing equipment 100 with the above structure will be described below.

[0094] like Figure 1 As shown, when the user rotates the compression body 61 in a direction away from the support body 41 and places the clothes hanger H1 on it onto the first clothing support unit 15, the clothes will be located on the surface of the support body 41.

[0095] Therefore, the user rotates the compressor 61 to the position of the support 41 until the connecting protrusion 73 engages with the connecting groove 75, allowing the compressor 61 to be secured to the inner circumferential surface of the door 13. Once the compressor 61 is secured to the inner circumferential surface of the door 13, clothing can be pressed between the compressor and the support 41.

[0096] The user must position the seams of the garment within the support groove 42 to prevent the seams from causing wrinkles in the garment. Additionally, the user needs to adjust the position of the garment to avoid disrupting its designed wrinkles.

[0097] When the control unit (not shown) is implemented to actuate the moisture supply unit 8 in this state, steam or mist can be supplied to the moisture chamber 63 and most of the steam or moisture can be supplied to the clothing.

[0098] Subsequently, the control unit can actuate the accommodating space air supply unit 31. The accommodating space air supply unit 31 can supply low-humidity and high-temperature air to the inner shell 2. Therefore, the supply of moisture to the clothing C can be initiated simultaneously with the actuation of the accommodating space air supply unit 31. During this process, unpleasant odors can evaporate from the clothing along with the moisture, and wrinkles can be easily removed from the clothing. Wrinkles can be enhanced during this process.

[0099] The embodiment in which the moisture chamber 63 is disposed in the compression body 61 will be described in detail. As another embodiment, the moisture chamber may be disposed in the support body 41.

[0100] like Figure 4 As shown, the first heating unit 9 can be further disposed in the presser P to more effectively remove wrinkles generated in the garment C and enhance folds included in the garment design.

[0101] like Figure 5 As shown, the first heating unit 9 may include: a hot plate 91 fixed to a surface of the compression body 61 facing the support body 41; and a heat source 95 disposed between the hot plate 91 and the compression body 61 and configured to supply heat to the hot plate 91. The hot plate 91 may be made of a conductive material such as metal and occupies more than 80% of the entire area of ​​the compression body 61.

[0102] In this case, the moisture chamber 63 may include: a chamber receiving portion 631 disposed in the compression body 61; and a chamber forming portion 633 disposed in the hot plate 91 to be inserted into the chamber receiving portion 631.

[0103] The heat source 95 can be configured as a wire that generates heat when an electric current is supplied. In this case, the hot plate wire groove 913 can be configured to receive the wire, and the main body wire groove 615 can be provided in the compression body 61 to receive the wire.

[0104] Figure 6 Another embodiment of the first heating unit 9 is illustrated. According to this embodiment, the first heating unit 9 may include: a first hot plate 93 (e.g., a conductive material) fixed to a first body 612 of a compression body 61; a second hot plate 94 (e.g., a conductive material fixed to a second body 613); a first heat source 961 disposed between the first hot plate 93 and the first body 612 and configured to supply heat to the first hot plate 93; and a second heat source 963, the supply pipe of which is configured to guide steam stored in a moisture supply unit.

[0105] The first heat source 961 and the second heat source 963 can be configured as wires that generate heat when an electric current is supplied. In this case, the first wire groove 931 can be provided in the first hot plate 93 to accommodate the wire, and the second wire groove 941 can be provided in the second hot plate 94 to accommodate the wire.

[0106] In addition, the first main body wire groove 615a and the second main body wire groove 615b can be disposed in the first main body 612 and the second main body 613 to respectively accommodate the first heat source 961 and the second heat source 963.

[0107] Figure 7 Another embodiment of the first heating unit 9 is illustrated. According to this embodiment, the first heating unit 9 may include a support 41 and a heat source 95 configured to heat the support 41.

[0108] The support 41 has at least a predetermined area formed of a conductive material. Figure 7 As an example, the entire area of ​​the support 41 is formed of a conductive material in one embodiment. The heat source 95 may be configured as a wire that generates heat when an electric current is supplied and is fixed to the rear surface of the support 41.

[0109] The presser P, including the first heating unit 9, can heat the clothing by using the first heating unit 9 when or after the moisture supply unit 8 supplies moisture to the clothing. Therefore, wrinkle removal, crease enhancement, deodorization, and drying can be promoted more effectively.

[0110] Figures 8 to 11 An embodiment of a presser including only the first heating unit 9 is illustrated.

[0111] Figure 8 The presser P shown may include: a support unit 4 disposed in one of a plurality of surfaces defining the inner shell 2 and configured to provide space for supporting clothing; a compression unit 6 configured to press the clothing supported by the support unit toward the support unit; and a first heating unit 9 disposed in at least one of the support unit and the compression unit and configured to supply heat to the clothing.

[0112] The support unit 4 may include a support body 41 fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the door 13, and the compression unit 6 may include a compression body 61 rotatably connected to the support body or the inner peripheral surface of the door 13. In this case, the first heating unit 9 may be disposed in at least one of the support body 41 and the compression body 61.

[0113] The detailed structure of the support 41 is equivalent to that of the support described above and is therefore omitted. A main body through hole 67 may be provided in the compression body 61, and the main body through hole 67 may be formed as a channel to guide the air and moisture supplied to the inner shell 2 through the housing space air supply unit 31 and the housing space moisture supply unit 34.

[0114] The first heating unit 9 may include: a hot plate 91 disposed in a surface of the compression body 61 facing the support body 41 as a conductive material; a through hole 917 configured to pass through the hot plate 91 to communicate with a body through hole 67; and a heat source 95 configured to supply heat to the hot plate 91.

[0115] like Figure 9 As shown, the compression body 61 may include a compression body groove 611 disposed along the height direction of the compression body. A first body 612 and a second body 613 may be formed on both sides of the compression body groove 611 along the height direction of the compression body 61.

[0116] The heating plate 91 may include a heating plate recess 915 disposed in the compression body recess 611. The heating plate recess 915 may accommodate the seams of the garment. When the compression body 61 contacts the support body 41, the heating plate recess 915 may form the upper surface of the support body recess 42.

[0117] When the moisture supply unit 34 of the storage space is activated, the garment processing device 100, including the aforementioned presser P, can supply moisture to the garments via the main body through-hole 67 and the heating plate through-hole 917. When the control unit subsequently supplies power to the heat source 95, the heating plate 91 can be heated, and the heat from the heating plate 91 can be transferred to the garments. When pressure is applied to the garments on which moisture is supplied by the compressor 61, heat is supplied to the heating plate 91, which can then promote deodorization and wrinkle removal.

[0118] Figure 10 The first heating unit 9 shown may include: a first hot plate 93 (e.g., a conductive material) fixed to a first body 612; a second hot plate 94 fixed to a second body; a first heat source 961 disposed between the first hot plate 93 and the first body 612 and configured to supply heat to the first hot plate; and a second heat source 963 disposed between the second hot plate 94 and the second body 613 and configured to supply heat to the second hot plate.

[0119] Heat sources 961 and 963 may be configured as wires that generate heat when an electric current is supplied. Grooves 931, 941, 615a and 615b may be provided in each of the heating plates 93 and 94 and in each of the bodies 612 and 613.

[0120] Figure 11The first heating unit 9 shown may have at least a predetermined area formed by a conductive material heated by a heat source 95. The heat source 95 may be configured as a wire that generates heat when an electric current is supplied and is fixed to the rear surface of the support 41.

[0121] Figure 12 An example of clothing processing equipment is shown.

[0122] Reference Figure 12 (a) The garment handling apparatus may include: a housing 1 having an opening formed at the front; a door 13 rotatably coupled to the housing 1 and configured to open and close the opening; an inner housing 2 disposed within the housing and configured to define a receiving space 22 for receiving garment C; a machine chamber 3 communicating with the inner housing 2 and configured to supply at least one of air or moisture to the receiving space 22; and a presser disposed in at least one of the inner housing 2 or the door 13 and configured to press the garment.

[0123] The housing 1 defines the external design of the garment handling equipment, and its height can be greater than its width. Therefore, even long garments C, such as trousers, can be placed in the receiving space 22 without being folded, thus preventing wrinkles.

[0124] The housing 1 can be formed of metal, or, while maintaining strength, of resin such as reinforced plastic.

[0125] The inner shell 2 may further include a machine chamber 3 disposed within the housing 1 and configured to define a receiving space 22. The machine chamber 3 may be formed of a preset material capable of maintaining strength without deformation or chemical activation due to foreign matter emitted from the garment C or hot air or moisture supplied from the control unit. As an example, the preset metal may be polystyrene (e.g., ABS and ASC).

[0126] The inner shell 2 may communicate with the machine room 3 via a surface in the lower region to supply or discharge hot air or moisture into the machine room 3.

[0127] The machine room 3 can be installed in the housing 1 in a state separate from the housing space 22. The machine room 3 can be located in the lower region of the housing space 22 to supply heated air or steam with a relatively lower density than air.

[0128] Specifically, the air supplied to the containment space 22 by the electronic control unit can be heated air. The moisture supplied to the containment space 22 by the machine room 3 is steam, which is located below the containment space 22, and the heated air or steam can be evenly supplied to the containment space 22 without auxiliary ventilation.

[0129] Simultaneously, door 13 may be rotatably connected to housing 1 to open and close the opening. Door 13 can close not only machine room 3, but also the front area of ​​machine room 3. Therefore, heated air or moisture supplied to housing space 22 can be prevented from escaping to the outside, and heat generated in machine room 3 can be prevented from being transferred to the outside.

[0130] Door 13 can be configured to open and close the front area of ​​machine room 3, such that the inner surface of machine room 3 and the inner surface of door 13 can form the outer surface of receiving space 22.

[0131] Presser P can press the garment C from both surfaces to remove wrinkles or create desired creases.

[0132] In other words, the presser P can act as an iron, so that the user does not have to perform additional ironing after the clothes C are dried and deodorized.

[0133] The garments C, including the top and bottom sections that need ironing, can be pressed in the presser C.

[0134] Specifically, the presser P may include: a support unit 4 disposed in one of a plurality of surfaces defining the inner shell 2 and configured to provide a predetermined space for supporting clothing; and a compression unit 6 configured to press the clothing supported by the support unit toward the support unit.

[0135] Figure 12 As an example, the support unit is disposed in the surface of the door 13. Even if it is only one surface supporting the clothing, the support unit may be disposed in the inner surface of the machine compartment 3.

[0136] The support unit 4 may include a support body 41, which is formed into a plate shape that does not deform the shape of the garment when one surface of the garment is pressed. Specifically, the support body 41 may include: a first support surface 412 configured to contact the surface of the garment; and a fixing unit 411 recessed from the first support surface 412 in the longitudinal direction to concentrate the force applied to both sides of the garment C.

[0137] Therefore, when the compression unit 6 presses against the support body 41, the pressure can be concentrated on the first support surface 412, and wrinkles can be effectively removed from the garment C, with creases clearly formed at each end of the garment. Additionally, unwanted wrinkles can be prevented from forming on the garment C due to the seams.

[0138] The compression unit 6 may be rotatably coupled to the inner surface of the support 41 or the machine chamber 3, which accommodates the inner surface of the support 41 or the accommodating door 13. In other words, the compression unit 6 can be located in any area, as long as it can rotate away from or near the support 41.

[0139] The compression unit 6 may include a compression body 61 that is rotatably connected to the support 41 or the door 13.

[0140] The compressor 61 can be rotatably connected via a connecting hinge 7 provided in at least one of the machine room 3, door 13 or support 41.

[0141] The connecting hinge 7 can be located in the support 41 or machine room, having the inner surface of the support 41 or door 13.

[0142] The connecting hinge 7 may include: a first connecting hinge for rotatably connecting the compression body 61; and a second connecting hinge 72 disposed below the first connecting hinge for rotatably connecting the compression body.

[0143] The compression body 61 may further include: a first body 612 rotatably disposed toward the support body 41; and a compression body groove 611 recessed along the longitudinal direction of the first body 612 to avoid seams of the garment or to concentrate the pressing pressure on both sides of the garment C.

[0144] Therefore, the compression body 61 can rotate toward the support body 41 and press one surface of the garment C. The support body 41 can use action and reaction to press the other surface of the garment C.

[0145] Meanwhile, the presser P may further include a dividing unit 66, which is rotatably disposed between the support 41 and the compression unit 6, facing the support and the compression body.

[0146] Specifically, the dividing unit 66 may include a dividing body 661, which is rotatably disposed between the support 41 and the compression unit 6. The dividing body 661 may have a region corresponding to the region of the compression unit 6 and the support 41. Therefore, clothing arranged in at least one of the compression unit 6, the dividing body 661, and the support 41 can be pressed.

[0147] The separating body 661 may also be rotatably connected to the first connecting hinge 71 and the second connecting hinge 72 so that it can rotate independently of the compression body 61 and rotate integrally with the compression body 61.

[0148] The separator 661 can rotate independently toward the support 41, and is pressed toward the support 41 as the compression body 61 rotates toward the support 41.

[0149] Figure 13 An example is shown of an implementation where a presser P presses the clothing C.

[0150] Reference Figure 13When clothing C is pants and is divided into a first part C1 that can be worn on the user's left leg and a second part C2 that can be worn on the user's right leg, the first part or the second part can be pressed by the compression body 61 and the dividing body 661, while the other part can be pressed by the dividing unit 66 and the support body 41.

[0151] As an example, the first part C1 and the second part C2 of the garment C can be arranged in the upper or lower end of the separating body 661. Specifically, the first part C1 is supported by one surface of the separating body 661 facing the compression body 61, while the second part C2 can be supported by another surface facing the support body 41.

[0152] At this point, the first part C1 and the second part C2 can be folded again and secured to the upper or lower area of ​​the separating body 661. Therefore, the first part C1 and the second part C2 of the garment unfold due to their weight without overlapping. Additionally, the first part C1 and the second part C2 can be pressed precisely enough to remove wrinkles from the garment or create creases on both sides of the garment.

[0153] Meanwhile, the retainer clip 662 can be further disposed on one or both surfaces of the separating body 661.

[0154] The clip 662 prevents the support 41 and the compression body 61 from coming into too close contact with each other, and also prevents the position of the garment C from changing when it is pressed by the compression body 61 or the divider unit 66.

[0155] Therefore, the retaining clip 662 can be formed of a material with higher friction than the separating body 661 or with cushioning force.

[0156] A divider unit 66 of predetermined thickness and clothing are arranged between the support body 41 and the compression body 61. Therefore, even when the compression body 61 is pressed, the compression body 61 may rotate in the opposite direction to the support body 41.

[0157] Therefore, to prevent this, the garment handling device 100 may further include: a connecting hook 414 disposed in the support 41 and configured to secure the compression body; and a hook connecting portion 613 disposed in the compression body and secured to the connecting hook.

[0158] As an example, the hook connection 613 may include a hook protrusion 613 projecting from the circumference of the compression body 61. The connecting hook 414 may be formed in a hook shape to engage with the hook protrusion 613.

[0159] Unlike what is shown in the figure, they can be formed into any shape only when the connecting hook 414 is inserted into the hook connecting part 613 and the support 41 is connected to the compression unit 6 to keep the compression unit 6 pressing the partition unit 66 and the support 41.

[0160] Figure 13 For example, the garment consists of only one pair of trousers, and this is one implementation method. Multiple garments can be installed in the presser P. In other words, when there are multiple garments, one can be arranged between the partition unit 66 and the compression unit 6, while another can be arranged between the partition unit 66 and the support 41.

[0161] Therefore, when the compression unit 6 rotates toward the support body 41, the compression unit 6 can use the separator body 661 to press one piece of clothing, and the separator body 661 can use the support body 41 to press another piece.

[0162] Therefore, wrinkles can be removed, or a single presser P can be used to create creases when pressing multiple garments.

[0163] Furthermore, when the garment is on top, one of the tops is inserted into the outer surface of the divider body 661 and secured to accommodate the divider body 661, so that one surface of the garment and the other surface can be pressed by the compression unit 6 and the support body 41.

[0164] Meanwhile, when the separator 66 is positioned between the support 41 and the compressor 61, it may be difficult to supply the garment C with the moisture or heated air supplied from the machine chamber 3. Therefore, the presser C may be provided with an additional structure configured to supply heat or steam to the garment C.

[0165] Meanwhile, the support 41 may include a connecting portion 311 for detachably connecting the partition body 661. The support connecting portion 415 may be configured as a hook type that partially receives the outer surface of the partition body 661, and may also connect to the connecting portion provided in the compression body 61.

[0166] Figure 14 An example is shown of a configuration that additionally supplies heat or steam to the presser P.

[0167] Reference Figure 14 The partition unit 66 may include a second heating unit 64, which is disposed on at least one of the two surfaces of the partition body 661 and configured to supply heat to the clothing C.

[0168] The second heating unit 64 can supply heat to the clothing pressed between the support body 41 and the compression body 61 to effectively remove wrinkles or creases.

[0169] The second heating unit 64 may include: a heating body 640 disposed in at least one of its two surfaces and configured to be exposed to the outside; and a heating wire 6620 disposed in the heating body 640 and configured to heat the heating body 640.

[0170] The heating element 640 may be formed of conductive or metallic material. The heating wire 6620 may be heated by electrical energy to transfer heat to the heating element 640.

[0171] The heating element 640 may be detachably attached to both surfaces of the partition element 661 to form an exposed surface of the partition element 661.

[0172] Of course, when the heating body and the partition body are formed of the same material, the heating body 640 can be integrally formed with the partition body 661.

[0173] The heating wire 6620 may be attached to the rear surface of the heating body 640, but it is more advantageous to provide the heating wire in the partition body 661. In other words, the heating wire 6620 may be disposed in the partition body 661 at a predetermined distance from the heating body 640 to indirectly heat the heating body 640.

[0174] The heating wire 6620 can be powered from the housing 1 or the machine compartment 3 and connected to the outside of the presser P via the first connecting hinge 71 or the second connecting hinge 72. The heating wire 6620 can be evenly installed in both surfaces of the partition body 661 and reciprocate along both the height and width directions.

[0175] Meanwhile, the second heating unit 64 may include: a supply path 6610 disposed in the partition body 661 or the heating body 640 to supply steam; and a plurality of discharge holes 643 formed to pass through the heating body 640 to discharge steam to clothing.

[0176] The supply path 6610 can be configured to supply water, and the water is heated by the heating line 6620 and turned into steam so that the steam can be discharged through the discharge port 643. It can be configured to supply steam or mist directly.

[0177] Multiple supply paths 6610 may be arranged along the height or width direction of the partition body 661, spaced apart from each other. A discharge port extends in the direction of the supply paths 6610. Therefore, steam can be supplied to the garment C via the discharge port.

[0178] The second heating unit 64 may include only one of the supply path 6610 and the heating line 6620, or both.

[0179] Meanwhile, when the second heating unit 64 includes both a supply path 6610 and a heating wire 6620, the heating wire 6620 can be disposed in an undisturbed external area of ​​the supply path 6610. Additionally, the heating wire 6620 can be disposed along the outer periphery of the supply path 6610.

[0180] Meanwhile, the partition unit 66 may be rotatably disposed in the machine room 3 or the door 13. This restricts the formation of a path for supplying steam to the supply path 6610.

[0181] The supply path 6610 may include: a main path 6612, which is embedded in or formed in a surface of the partition body 661; a plurality of branch paths 6613, which branch from the main path 6612 in the height or width direction of the partition body 661 and are configured to supply steam; and an injection path 6614, which extends from each branch path 6613 in the same direction to supply steam.

[0182] At this time, the density of the steam is relatively low, which allows the injection paths 6614 to be set in the height direction and spaced apart from each other by a preset distance in the width direction to inject the steam into a larger area.

[0183] Therefore, steam, moisture, or water supplied only via the main path 6612 can be distributed along the injection path and uniformly injected from the partition body 661.

[0184] The supply path 6610 may further include a connecting path 6611, which is configured to communicate with a moisture supply source 80 disposed on the outside of the partition body 661 to deliver water or steam to the main path 6612.

[0185] The heating wire 6620 can be connected to either the first connecting hinge 71 or the second connecting hinge 72, and the main path 6612 can be connected to the other of the two hinges without overlapping.

[0186] For this purpose, the path unit can be set in the first connecting hinge 71 and the second connecting hinge so that the heating wire or the main path 6612 passes through or allows them to communicate with each other.

[0187] Figure 15 An example is shown of a structure equipped with a moisture supply source 80 to supply steam.

[0188] The moisture supply source 80 can be placed in a suitable area so that the user can easily access the housing, electrical control unit, door and pressure unit.

[0189] The moisture supply source 80 may be located in at least one of the housing, the electrical control unit, the door, and the pressure unit. When the garment handling equipment is not connected to an external water supply, the moisture supply source 80 may be detachably located in at least one of the housing, the electrical control unit, the door, and the pressure unit.

[0190] Furthermore, the moisture supply source 80 is advantageously installed in the area closest to the supply path 6610, making it preferably located in the partition unit 66. The compression unit 6 is the first area exposed to the user, making it possible to locate it within the compression unit 6.

[0191] When the moisture supply source 80 is detachably installed in the compression unit 6, the compression unit 6 may further include a connection path 6121, which is configured to allow the moisture supply source 80 to communicate with the connection hinge 7.

[0192] The connection path 6121 can be configured as a plate to discharge moisture or steam supplied from the moisture supply source 80 and be inserted into the compression unit 6.

[0193] Therefore, the connecting path 6121 and the connecting path 6611 can be connected to each other to completely discharge the moisture or vapor generated in the moisture supply source 80 to the discharge port 643.

[0194] Meanwhile, the supply path 6610 can be embedded in the partition body 661, and the partition body 661 can include a plurality of through holes configured to communicate with the discharge hole 643 of the second heating unit 64.

[0195] Therefore, the supply unit 631 can be disposed in the partition body 661, rather than in each of the two surfaces of the partition body 661, solely for reducing the thickness of the partition body 661. Additionally, steam can advantageously be supplied to both surfaces of the partition body 661 via a supply path 6610.

[0196] Figure 16 An embodiment of the moisture supply source 80 is illustrated.

[0197] As described above, the moisture supply source 80 may be detachably disposed in the compression unit 6.

[0198] The moisture supply source may include: a water tank detachably disposed in at least one pressure unit and configured to store water; a heater 83 configured to generate steam by heating the water stored in the water tank; and a vent 812 configured to discharge steam while in communication with the water tank and the supply unit.

[0199] The water tank 810 can be configured as a shell shape with a preset volume and can have an open upper surface for easy washing and a structure for closing the open surface.

[0200] The water tank 810 may include a heater insertion hole 811 into which a heater 83 is fixedly inserted, and the heater 83 may be fixed to the heater insertion hole 811 and configured to generate steam by heating water stored in the water tank 810.

[0201] The discharge port 812 may be located in a predetermined upper region of the water tank 810 (in communication with the connection path 6121) to completely discharge steam with a relatively low density.

[0202] The compression unit 6 may include a receiving portion 63 configured to accommodate a water tank 810. When the water tank 810 is installed in the receiving portion 63, the exposed surface of the water tank 810 may be configured to be parallel to a surface of the compression unit 6.

[0203] Therefore, when water is supplied to the water tank, steam can be supplied to the clothing C via the second heating unit 64.

[0204] Unlike the figure shown, the second heating unit 64 can be directly supplied with heated air or moisture by communicating with the machine room 3 or the water tank 810, so as to discharge heated air or moisture toward the support 41.

[0205] In other words, the second heating unit 64 may be configured as an exhaust port 643 integrally formed with the partition body 661 and configured to discharge heated air or moisture.

[0206] The first connecting hinge 71 and the second connecting hinge 72 may include a path communicating with the machine compartment 3. The partition body 661 may include a supply path configured to supply heated air or moisture to the second heating unit 64 through communication with the path.

[0207] When the second heating unit 64 is connected to the machine room 3, heated air or moisture supplied from the machine room 3 to the housing space 22 can be supplied to the second heating unit 64.

[0208] Figure 17 An example is shown of a clip configured to secure clothing to a presser P.

[0209] Figure 17 Example (a) illustrates the separation of clothing from the presser P. Figure 17 Example (b) shows clothing hanging on the presser P.

[0210] The garment handling device may further include a clip 62 disposed in at least one of the upper or lower regions of the presser P and configured to allow garments to be clipped or hung thereon.

[0211] The clip 62 may include: clip bodies 6211 and 6221 disposed in at least one of the upper or lower regions of the pressure unit; and fixed bodies 6212 and 6222 connected to the clip bodies to secure clothing to the clip bodies.

[0212] The clip bodies 6211 and 6221 can secure clothing in a taut state. When the clothing is pressed by the compression unit 6, it can prevent the clothing from wrinkling or shifting.

[0213] If the clip 62 is fastened while the divider unit 66 is rotating, the clothing may be damaged. Therefore, the clip bodies 6211 and 6221 are rotatable (corresponding to the divider unit 66).

[0214] The fixed bodies 6212 and 6222 may be rotatably connected to the clip bodies 6211 and 6221, so that clothing can be fitted between the fixed bodies 6212 and 6222 and the clip bodies 6211 and 6221.

[0215] The clip bodies 6211 and 6221 can be hooked to the fixed bodies 6212 and 6222 to prevent the clothing C from falling or moving freely. For example, a hook connecting part 6211b can be provided in the clip bodies 6211 and 6221, and the fixed bodies 6212 and 6222 can include a hook connecting part 6212b with a connecting hook connected thereto.

[0216] Meanwhile, the clip 62 can be installed only in the upper area of ​​the presser P and fasten the garment C, so that the garment can be tensioned by its own weight.

[0217] However, when the presser P applies a relatively large load to the garment or points from one surface of the garment to another, the garment may shift or wrinkle.

[0218] Therefore, clip 62 can be positioned in the upper and lower regions of the presser P and provide sufficient tension to the garment C to prevent wrinkles or changes in position of the garment C.

[0219] Reference Figure 17 The clip 62 may include: a first clip portion 621 disposed in the upper region of the presser P; and a second clip portion 622 disposed in the lower region of the presser P.

[0220] The first clip portion 621 and the second clip portion 622 can rotate together with the separating unit 66.

[0221] The first clip portion 621 may include: a first clip body 6211, which is rotatably connected to the upper region of the divider unit 66; and a first fastening body 6212, which is rotatably connected to the upper region of the divider unit 66 and configured to fasten clothing.

[0222] The first clamp body 6211 may be configured as a plate shape with a length greater than its width, and the first fastening body 6212 may be rotatably connected to the first clamp body 6211, wherein the free end is detachably connected to the first clamp body 6211.

[0223] The first clip body 6211 may include a receiving groove 6211a, which is gently curved from one surface to receive clothing. Therefore, it prevents clothing from being excessively pressed.

[0224] In some embodiments, the second clip portion 622 may include: a second clip body 6221 rotatably connected to the lower region of the divider unit 66; and a second fastening body 6222 rotatably connected to the second clip body to fasten clothing.

[0225] The second clip body 6221 may include: a first through groove 6221d, through which a first part C1 of the garment is inserted; and a second through groove 6222c, through which a second part C2 is inserted.

[0226] Therefore, the first part C1 and the second part C2 of the garment C are inserted into the first through slot and the second through slot to divide the entire area into two sides of the dividing unit 66.

[0227] Reference Figure 17 (b) The first part C1 of the garment C is inserted into the second through slot 6222c and guided between one surface of the separator unit 66 and the compression unit 6. The second part C2 is inserted into the first through slot 6221d and guided between the other surface of the separator unit 66 and the support 41.

[0228] In addition, the first part C1 and the second part C2 overlap each other in the upper region of the presser P to be inserted into the first clip body 6211 and the first fastening body 6212.

[0229] At this time, the first part C1 and the second part C2 can be fixedly inserted into the first clamp body 6211 and the first fastening body 6212 in a tensioned state.

[0230] Unlike what is shown in the figure, the first clip portion 621 can be configured as a through groove, and a receiving groove can be formed in the second clip portion 622. Therefore, the user can adjust the clip direction of the garment C when necessary.

[0231] Figure 18 The process of clips on clothing in a garment handling device is illustrated.

[0232] Reference Figure 18 In (a), the first fastening body 6212 and the first clamp body 6211 can be separated from each other. Even the second fastening body 6222 and the second clamp body 6221 can be separated from each other. Furthermore, the compression unit 6, the support body 41, and the separating unit 66 can also be separated from each other.

[0233] Reference Figure 18(b) The first part C1 and the second part C2 of the garment can be inserted into the through slots provided in the second clip body 6221 and the second fastening body 6222 to position the first part C1 between the separating unit 66 and the compression unit 6 and to position the second part C2 between the separating unit 66 and the support body 41.

[0234] Then, the free ends of the first part C1 and the second part C2 overlap and are stretched. Thus, the garment can be fastened to the first clip body 6211 and the second fastening body 6222 in a taut state.

[0235] Reference Figure 18 (c) The first clip 621, the second clip 622, and the partition plate 63 can rotate toward the support 41. At this time, the support 41 and the partition plate 63 are connected to each other rather than separated from each other.

[0236] Reference Figure 18 (d) The compression unit 6 rotates toward the support 41 to press the partition plate 63. Afterwards, the compression unit 6 and the support 41 are connected to each other to prevent them from separating freely.

[0237] Therefore, both the first part C1 and the second part C2 of the garment can be pressed.

[0238] At this time, when heat and steam are supplied from the second heating unit 64, wrinkles can be removed from the first part C1 and the second part C2, and creases can be placed therein.

[0239] Since the features of the invention can be implemented in various forms without departing from its features, it should also be understood that, unless otherwise stated, the above embodiments are not limited to any details of the foregoing description, but should be considered broadly within the scope defined in the appended claims. Therefore, all variations and modifications or equivalents of such scope and limit falling within the scope and limit of the claims should be included in the appended claims.
