The roller through-hole 312 can be provided on the circumferential surface of the roller body 31, respectively on the front side (the side surrounding the roller inlet) and the rear side. Therefore, water or detergent supplied to the inside of the outer tub body 21 can be supplied to the inside of the roller body 31 through the roller through-hole 312.

[0066] The drive unit 32 may include: a stator 321, fixed to the rear of the outer drum body 21 and forming a rotating magnetic field; a rotor 322, which rotates by the rotating magnetic field; and a rotating shaft 323, which passes through the rear of the outer drum body 21 and connects the drum body 31 and the rotor 322.

[0067] like Figure 3As shown, the front panel 13 can be fixed to the main body 11 of the housing via the panel support 12. That is, the panel support 12 can be fixed to the main body 11 of the housing, and the front panel 13 is configured to be fixed to the panel support 12. In this case, as... Figure 4 As shown, a drawer through hole 121 through which the drawer 243 passes can be provided in the panel support 12.

[0072] A boss can be provided on the housing 41 to set the position of the first circuit board 4. Figure 5 This diagram illustrates an example of a case where the protrusions are formed by a first protrusion 411 and a second protrusion 412. In this case, a substrate through-hole 42 through which the first protrusion 411 penetrates and a protrusion insertion hole 43 through which the second protrusion 412 penetrates can be provided on the first circuit board 4. When the first circuit board 4 is formed by a first substrate circuit board and a first circuit, the substrate through-hole 42 and the protrusion insertion hole 43 can be configured to penetrate the first substrate circuit board.

Figure 4 In this case, the wire 822 can be inserted into the first protruding through hole 413 and the wire through hole 123, thereby extending into the interior of the housing 1.

[0075] A first input section 46 and a second input section 47 may also be provided on the first circuit board 4. The first input section 46 may be configured to input a control command for requesting power to the garment handling device 100, and the second input section 47 may be configured to input a command for requesting execution of the control command displayed on the display section 8, or a command for requesting temporary interruption of the control command being executed by the garment handling device 100.

[0076] The first input unit 46 and the second input unit 47 can be configured to generate control signals by detecting static electricity on the user's body.

[0077] The first input unit 46 may include: a first button 461 exposed outside the housing 1; a first sensor 464 fixed to the first circuit board 4; and a conductor 463 (a first touch spring) connecting the first button and the first sensor.

[0081] The encoder 5 is a component that rotatably fixes the actuator 7 to the first circuit board 4, and is a component that generates an electrical signal when the actuator 7 rotates (or generates different set electrical signals according to the rotation angle of the actuator).

[0082] like Figure 6 As shown, the encoder 5 may be configured to include: a fixing part 51, fixed to the first circuit board 4 and fixing the display part 8; a rotating part 52, rotatably disposed on the fixing part 51 and fixing the actuator 7; and a signal generating part 54, which generates an electrical signal when the rotating part 52 rotates. The fixing part 51 may be fixed to the first substrate circuit board, and the signal generating part 54 is fixed to the first fixing part 51 in a manner connected to the first circuit.

[0083] The fixing part 51 may include: a fixing body 512, fixed to the first circuit board 4; a supporting body 511, extending from the fixing body 512 and fixing the rotating part 52 rotatably; and a body through hole 514, passing through the fixing body and the supporting body to connect with the substrate through hole 42 (connected with the first protruding through hole).

[0084] The fixing body 512 can be cylindrical. The substrate fastening part 513 can be provided on the circumferential surface of the fixing body 512 or on one side of the fixing body (the side facing the first circuit board). In this case, an encoder fixing hole 44 for inserting the substrate fastening part 513 can be provided on the first circuit board 4 (see reference). Figure 5 ).

[0085] like Figure 5 As shown, the substrate fastening part 513 and the encoder fixing hole 44 can be provided in multiples, and the encoder fixing hole 44 is configured to surround the substrate through hole 42.

[0087] The fastening body fixing portion 531 may be formed by a protrusion protruding toward the center of the body through hole 514 from at least one of the support body 511 and the fixing body 512. The accompanying drawings show an example of the fastening body fixing portion 531 being provided on the support body 511.

[0088] The position setting groove 532 can be formed by a groove that is recessed and bent on one side of the fixing part 51 that forms the main body through hole 514. In this case, the position setting groove 532 can be provided along the length direction of the main body through hole 514.

[0089] The rotating part 52 may be formed by a rotating body 521 rotatably coupled to the support body 511. A rotating body through hole through which the support body 511 passes should be provided in the rotating body 521.

[0090] A shaft fastening part 522 for fastening the actuator 7 can be provided in the rotating body 521. The shaft fastening part 522 can be formed by a fastening hole penetrating the circumferential surface of the rotating body 521, or it can be formed by a fastening groove that is recessed and bent on the circumferential surface of the rotating body 521.

[0091] The signal generating unit 54 may include: a magnet fixed to the rotating body 521; a sensor disposed on the fixed body 512 or the supporting body 511 and detecting magnetic force; and a terminal connecting a first circuit disposed on the first circuit board 4 and the sensor. The magnet may be configured as a plurality of permanent magnets arranged spaced apart along the circumferential surface of the rotating body 521.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, the first circuit board 4, upon which the encoder 5 is assembled, can be coated with an insulating material. This is to minimize the possibility of water supply to the first circuit board 4 and causing a short circuit. When the insulating material is coated on one side of the first circuit board 4 (the side facing the front panel), an encoder cover 6 can also be provided at the interface P to prevent the rotating body 521 from being fixed to the support body 511 due to the insulating material.

[0093] The encoder cover 6 can be fixed to the first circuit board 4 and configured as a tube surrounding the encoder 5. That is, as shown in the figure, the encoder cover 6 may include: a fixing body cover 61, fixed to the first circuit board 4 (fixed to the first substrate circuit board) and surrounding the fixing body 512; and a cover through hole 62, configured to pass through the fixing body cover 61 and insert the encoder 5.

[0094] A substrate fastening part 611 can be provided on the fixed main body cover 61, and an encoder cover fixing hole 45 for fixing the substrate fastening part 611 can be provided on the first circuit board 4 (the encoder cover fixing hole is provided on the first substrate circuit board). The substrate fastening part 611 and the encoder cover fixing hole 45 can be provided in multiples, and the encoder cover fixing hole 45 is configured to surround the substrate fastening part 513.

[0095] To drain water that flows into the fixed body cover 61, a cover outlet 612 can be provided on the circumferential surface of the fixed body cover 61. Preferably, the cover outlet 612 is located at the lowest point on the circumferential surface of the fixed body cover 61.

[0096] On the other hand, after the encoder 5 and encoder cover 6 are both attached to the first circuit board 4, the aforementioned insulating material is applied to the first circuit board 4. The insulating material sprayed in a local area of ​​the first circuit board 4 (the external space of the encoder cover) flows into the interior of the encoder cover 6 through the cover outlet 612. In the process described above, preferably, the distance L1 from the first circuit board to the uppermost point of the fixed body 512 is set to be greater than or equal to the distance L2 from the first circuit board to the uppermost point of the cover outlet 612, so as to block the supply of the insulating material to the rotating body 521.

[0097] The encoder cover 6 may be configured to also include a support body cover 63 extending from the fixed body cover 61 and surrounding the rotating body 521 (surrounding the support body). Since the support body cover 63 can restrict the radial movement of the actuator 7 along the cover through-hole 62, the support body cover 63 can prevent the actuator 7 from separating from the rotating body 521.

[0098] like Figure 8 As shown, the actuator 7 may include: a shaft 71, which passes through the front plate 13 and is fixed to the rotating body 521; and a handle 73, which is fixed to the shaft 71 and located outside the housing 1.

[0099] A panel through-hole 134 (see reference) can be provided in the housing 1 to penetrate the front panel 13. Figure 3 The shaft 71 is configured to be inserted into the through hole 134 of the panel.

[0100] like Figure 9 As shown, the shaft 71 can be formed from a tube with an internal shaft through-hole 711. A rotating body 521, disposed on the encoder, is inserted into the shaft through-hole 711. A rotating body fastening part 712, disposed on the circumferential surface of the shaft 71 and located inside the shaft through-hole 711, is coupled to a shaft fastening part 522 disposed on the rotating body. Therefore, the shaft 71 is fixed to the rotating body 521 by the rotating body fastening part 712 and the shaft fastening part 522.

[0101] The handle 73 is fixed to the shaft 71 in a manner located outside the housing 1, and the user supplies the force required to rotate the rotating body 521 to the shaft 71 through the handle 73.

[0102] The handle 73 may include: a receiving space 731 formed inside the handle in a manner communicating with the shaft through hole 711; and a handle through hole 732 that penetrates one side of the handle 73 and communicates the receiving space 731 with the outside.

[0103] When the diameter of the handle 73 is set to be larger than the diameter of the shaft 71, a base 713 for fixing the handle 73 can also be provided on the shaft 71. The base 713 can be formed by a disk fixed to the circumferential surface of the shaft 71.

[0104] The handle 73 and the base 713 can be joined together by a base fastening part 734 provided on the handle 73 and a handle fastening part 714 provided on the base 713.

[0105] like Figure 10 As shown, the base fastening part 734 may be formed by a plurality of protrusions fixed to the handle and located inside the receiving space 731, and the handle fastening part 714 may be formed by a groove provided on the base 713 and receiving the protrusions.

[0106] To facilitate the connection between the handle 73 and the base 713, a fastening guide 735 can be provided on the handle 73 between one base fastening part 734 and another base fastening part 734, and a guide groove 715 for inserting the fastening guide 735 can be provided on the base 713. The guide groove 715 can be formed by a groove formed by bending the circumferential surface of the base 713 toward the shaft through hole 711.

[0107] To drain water or foreign objects flowing into the handle 73 to the outside of the handle 73, a handle outlet 74 can be provided on either the handle 73 or the base 713. For example... Figure 10As shown, the depth D1 (length from the edge of the base to the bottom of the guide groove) of the guide groove 715 can be set to be greater than the height D2 (length from the handle to the free end of the fastening guide) of the fastening guide 735. In this case, the handle outlet 74 can be set to be formed in the space between the guide groove 715 and the fastening guide 735.

[0108] Figure 11 This is a diagram showing an example of a display unit 8, which may include: an outer cover 81, fixed to the fixing body 512 of the encoder and located inside the actuator housing space 731; a display 84, fixed to the outer cover and displaying information (related information such as control and operation of the garment handling device); and a circuit board 82 (second circuit board: display unit circuit board), disposed on the outer cover and provided with circuitry for controlling the display 84.

[0109] The outer cover 81 may include: a fastening body 81b, which passes through the shaft through hole 711 and is inserted into the body through hole 514, thereby fixing it to the fixing body 512; and a receiving body 81a, which is fixed to the fastening body 81b and located inside the receiving space 731.

[0110] The receiving body 81a can be formed into any shape as long as it can be inserted into the receiving space 731. Figure 11 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the housing 81a being configured in a cylindrical shape.

[0111] An installation space 811 is formed inside the receiving body 81a. The installation space 811 communicates with the receiving space 731 provided on the handle through a receiving body through hole 812 (the receiving body through hole is configured to communicate with the handle through hole). That is, the receiving body through hole 812 is provided on the surface of the space provided by the receiving body 81a facing the direction of the handle through hole 732.

[0112] The fastening body 81b can be configured in any shape as long as it can be inserted into the shaft through hole 711 and the encoder body through hole 514. Figure 12 This is a diagram illustrating an example where the fastening body 81b is configured in a cylindrical shape. A fastening body through-hole 815 is provided in the fastening body 81b to connect with the mounting space 811.

[0113] A fixing body fastening part 816 can be provided on the circumferential surface of the fastening body 81b. The fixing body fastening part 816 is a component that fixes the outer cover 81 to the fastening body fixing part 531 provided on the encoder.

[0114] Furthermore, a plurality of protrusions 817 can be provided at various positions on the circumferential surface of the fastening body 81b.

[0115] The position setting protrusion 817 is shaped to be inserted into the position setting slot 532 provided in the encoder, and the position of the position setting protrusion 817 is set at a position corresponding to the position of the position setting slot 532. The position setting protrusion 817 and the position setting slot 532 are components that minimize the risk that the fixing body fastening part 816 cannot be engaged with the fixing body fixing part 531 when the fastening body 81b is inserted into the body through hole 514 (components that ensure the engagement of the fixing body fastening part and the fixing body fixing part).

[0116] like Figure 11 As shown, the second circuit board 82 is inserted into the mounting space 811, and the wire 822 connected to the second circuit board 82 can be pulled out to the outside of the outer cover 81 through the fastening body through hole 815. The second circuit board 82 may be formed by a second substrate circuit board and a second circuit fixed to the second substrate circuit board.

[0117] like Figure 12 As shown, the receiving body 81a can be formed by a disc-shaped receiving body base 818 extending radially along the fastening body through hole 815 on the circumferential surface of the fastening body 81b, and a receiving body circumferential surface 819 extending from the edge of the receiving body base along the length direction of the fastening body 81b. In this case, the mounting space 811 can be formed by the receiving body base 818 and the receiving body circumferential surface 819. If the second circuit board 82 is disposed in the mounting space 811 as described above, the risk of the second circuit board 82 being damaged by external forces is minimized.

[0118] like Figure 11 As shown, a plurality of lamps 821 can be provided on the second circuit board 82. That is, a plurality of lamps 821 are provided on the display section and fixed to the second substrate circuit board in a manner connected to the second circuit.

[0119] The second circuit board 82 can control the display 84 to display preset information based on the rotation of the handle 73 (based on the electrical signal provided from the signal generation unit).

[0120] In order to maintain the spacing between the second circuit board 82 and the display 84, and to prevent damage to the lamp 821, and to guide the light emitted from the lamp 821 to the outside of the mounting space 811, a mounting portion 83 located between the display 84 and the second circuit board 82 can be provided in the mounting space 811.

[0121] The mounting portion 83 can be formed by a mounting body 831 fixed to the receiving body 81a and located inside the mounting space 811. The mounting body 831 can be of any shape as long as it can be inserted into the mounting space 811. Figure 11 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the mounting body 831 being configured in a generally cylindrical shape.

[0122] A mounting groove 832 for fixing the display 84 is provided on one side of the mounting body 831. A connector through hole 836 can be provided in the mounting groove 832, and a connector 841 (flexible PCB, etc.) provided on the display 84 is inserted into the connector through hole 836 to connect with the second circuit board 82.

[0123] A lamp through-hole 835 for inserting the lamp 821 can be provided in the mounting body 831. Preferably, the number of lamp through-holes 835 is the same as the number of lamps 821, and the position of the lamp through-holes 835 should be set in the space of the mounting body above the mounting groove 832, or in the space of the mounting body below the mounting groove 832. This is so that the light emitted from the lamp 821 can be transmitted to the outside of the outer cover 81 through the lamp through-holes 835.

[0124] The mounting portion 83 is fixed to the outer cover 81 by a mounting body fastening portion 813 provided on the receiving body 81a and a receiving body fastening portion 833 provided on the mounting body 831. The mounting body fastening portion 813 may be formed by a plurality of protrusions located inside the mounting space 811, and the receiving body fastening portion 833 may be formed by a groove or the like provided on the circumferential surface of the mounting body 831 (the side of the mounting body that contacts the receiving body) and used to fix the mounting body fastening portion 813.

[0125] The number of mounting body fastening parts 813 and the receiving body fastening parts 833 are set to be the same, and the positions of the mounting body fastening parts 813 and the receiving body fastening parts 833 should be set to correspond to each other.

[0126] To improve the fastening force of the mounting body 831, the receiving body fastening part 833 can be formed by an upper fastening part located above the mounting surface 832 and a lower fastening part located below the mounting surface 832. Unlike the figures shown, the receiving body fastening part 833 can also be configured to be respectively located on the left and right sides of the mounting surface.

[0127] To prevent water and foreign matter from entering the display 84 and the second circuit board 82, a cover 85 can also be provided on the housing body 81a.

[0128] Preferably, the cover 85 is fixed to at least one of the receiving body 81a and the mounting body 831 and is configured to cover the through hole 812 of the receiving body. The cover 85 should be formed of a material with transparency that allows external confirmation of the information displayed on the display 84 and the degree of light emitted from the lamp 821.

[0129] When the cover 85 is fixed to the mounting body 831, a cover fixing protrusion 851 protruding toward the mounting body 831 can be provided on the cover 85, and a fixing protrusion fastening part 834 that engages with the cover fixing protrusion 851 can be provided on the mounting body 831.

[0130] like Figure 12 As shown, the second circuit board 82 can also be fixed to the mounting body 831. That is, the mounting part 83 can be provided on the protrusion 838 protruding from the mounting body 831 toward the second circuit board 82, and the second circuit board 82 is provided with a protrusion through hole 823 for inserting the protrusion 838.

[0131] Furthermore, a cover plate 853 can be provided on the cover 85 to reduce the transparency of the cover. Preferably, the transparency of the cover plate is set to a level that makes it difficult to confirm the interior of the mounting space 811 from the outside (the transparency of the cover plate is set to be lower than the transparency of the cover). The cover plate 853 can be fixed to the surface of the cover 85, and the text or symbol H can be provided in the area of ​​the lamp through hole 835 projected in the cover plate.

[0132] like Figure 11 As shown, a selection unit 9 can also be set on the interface P to receive the control commands selected from the control commands displayed on the display 84.

[0133] The selection unit 9 can be configured to determine whether to select the control command displayed on the display 84 by detecting whether the user's body is in contact with the cover 85.

[0134] That is, the selection unit 9 may include: a sensor 93 disposed on the second circuit board 82 (fixed to the second substrate circuit board in a manner connected to the second circuit) and detecting static electricity on the user's body; and conductors 91 and 92 for connecting the sensor 93 and the cover 85. The conductor 91 may be formed by a first conductor 91 fixed to the cover 85 and a second conductor 92 with one end connected to the first conductor 91 and the other end connected to the sensor 93. In this case, a conductive through hole 837 for inserting the second conductor 92 should be provided in the mounting body 831.

[0135] The first conductor 91 is a component that facilitates the input of control commands by expanding the area accessible to the user. In an interface P having the above structure, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a display area R1 is formed in the upper space of the cover 85, and an input area R2 is formed in the lower space of the cover 85. Therefore, if the area of ​​the first conductor 91 is set wider, the area of ​​the input area R2 is enlarged, thus allowing the user to input control commands more easily. Preferably, the area of ​​the first conductor 91 is set to less than 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the area of ​​the cover 85.

[0136] like Figure 8 As shown, the interface P of the above structure is characterized in that the diameter of the base 713 is set to be larger than the diameter of the shaft through hole 711. This has the effect of enabling more devices to be installed inside the receiving space 731 by maximizing the volume of the receiving space 731.

[0137] Furthermore, since the volume of the mounting space 811 located in the accommodating space can be increased as the volume of the accommodating space 731 increases, the result is that the size of the display 84 can be increased.

[0138] Although the accompanying drawings show the base 713 as a disc shape and the shaft 71 as a cylinder shape, the shapes of the base 713 and the shaft 71 can be configured in various ways. In this case, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving space 731 should be set to be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the shaft 71 (the cross-sectional area of ​​the base should be set to be larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the shaft through hole).

[0139] The interface P with the above structure can display control commands, retrieve the displayed control commands, and select the displayed control commands, while minimizing the space required for installation. However, the interface P with the above structure needs to prevent water or foreign matter from flowing into the components of the display unit 8 and the actuator 7, or needs to have components to discharge the inflowing water or foreign matter to the outside.

[0140] like Figure 13 As shown, a component can be provided in the actuator 7 to discharge water or foreign objects flowing into the handle through hole 732 to the outside of the receiving space 731, and a component can be provided in the display part 8 to block foreign objects (external gas, liquid, dust, etc.) from flowing into the outer cover 81.

[0141] As described above, the actuator 7 can discharge water or foreign matter flowing into the receiving space 731 to the outside of the receiving space through the handle outlet 74 provided on the handle.

[0142] On the other hand, sealing portions 75 and 76 can be provided on the display section 8 to prevent foreign matter from flowing into the fastening body through hole 815. That is, fastening body sealing portion 75 to prevent foreign matter from flowing in through the fastening body through hole 815 and cover sealing portion 76 to prevent foreign matter from flowing in through the receiving body through hole 812 can be provided on the interface P.

[0143] Although the accompanying drawings show the fastening body sealing portion 75 and the cover sealing portion 76, the sealing portion may also be configured to include only either the fastening body sealing portion 75 or the cover sealing portion 76.

[0144] The cover sealing portion 76 can be formed by a fixing adhesive that blocks the space between the cover 85 and the receiving body 81a by spraying along the edge of the cover 85 onto the receiving body 81a and fixes the cover 85 to the receiving body 81a.

[0145] The fastening body sealing part 75 can not only be inserted into the fastening body through hole 815 and fix the position of the wire 822, but can also be configured to block foreign flow into the fastening body through hole 815.

[0146] Figure 14 This is a diagram showing an example of the fastening body sealing portion 75. Figure 14 The fastening body sealing part 75 may include: a sealing body 751, inserted into the fastening body through hole 815; a sealing body through hole 752, configured to pass through the sealing body 751 and insert the wire 822; and cutting parts 753, 754, and 755, wherein the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 is cut and the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 and the sealing body through hole 752 are connected.

[0147] The sealing body 751 can be configured in any shape as long as it can be inserted into the through hole 815 of the fastening body. Figure 14 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the sealing body 751 being configured in a cylindrical shape.

[0148] The diameter of the sealing body 751 can be set to be larger than the diameter of the fastening body through hole 815. In this case, preferably, the material of the sealing body 751 is set to a rubber or silicone with high elasticity, so that it can cover the fastening body through hole 815 through an interference fit.

[0149] The cutting portion may include: a first cutting surface 753 extending from the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 toward the center of the sealing body through hole 752; a second cutting surface 754 extending from the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 toward the center of the sealing body through hole 752 and spaced apart from the first cutting surface 753; and a cutting groove 755 formed between the first cutting surface 753 and the second cutting surface 754. The wire 822 can be inserted into or extracted from the sealing body through hole 752 through the cutting groove 755.

[0150] When the sealing body 751 is inserted into the fastening body through hole 815, preferably, the interval between the first cutting surface 753 and the second cutting surface 754 is set such that the length of the cutting groove 755 can be covered by the two cutting surfaces 753 and 754 contacting each other.

[0151] To further reliably prevent foreign matter from flowing into the space between the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 and the through hole 815 of the fastening body, a first contact protrusion 756 may be provided on the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751.

[0152] The first contact protrusion 756 may be formed by a strip-shaped protrusion extending from the first cut surface 753 to the second cut surface 754 along the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751. The first contact protrusion 756 may be configured as a plurality of strip-shaped protrusions spaced apart along the height direction of the sealing body 751.

[0153] To prevent foreign matter from entering the cutting groove 755, a second contact protrusion 757 can also be provided on the sealing body 751. The second contact protrusion 757 can be configured to protrude from at least one of the first cutting surface 753 and the second cutting surface 754 toward the other.

[0154] Furthermore, the second contact protrusion 757 can be configured to connect the first contact protrusion 756 and the sealing body through hole 752, or it can be configured to connect the position 7561 between the two first contact protrusions 756 and the sealing body through hole 752.

[0155] In addition, to prevent foreign matter from flowing into the space between the wire 822 and the sealing body through hole 752, a third contact protrusion 758 can be provided in the sealing body through hole 752. This is because even if the diameter of the sealing body through hole 752 (the diameter of the sealing body when inserted into the fastening body through hole) is set to be smaller than the diameter of the wire 822, the possibility of foreign matter flowing in through the sealing body through hole 752 cannot be ruled out.

[0156] The third contact protrusion 758 may be formed by a band-shaped protrusion protruding from the face of the sealing body 751 that forms the sealing body through hole 752 toward the center of the sealing body through hole 752. The third contact protrusion 758 may extend from the first cut surface 753 to the second cut surface 754 and is configured to connect with the second contact protrusion 757.

[0157] The following is for reference Figure 13 The assembly process of the interface P described above was observed.

[0158] The first circuit board 4, with the encoder 5 and encoder cover 6 in the combined state, is fixed to the housing 41. The insulating material is coated on the surface of the first circuit board 4 fixed to the housing 41.

[0159] The housing 41 can be fixed to the box 1 via the front panel 13 or via the panel support 12. When the housing 41 is fixed to the front panel 13, the housing 41 can be configured to penetrate the front panel 13 and be fixed to the front panel 13 via bolts fixed to the second protrusion 412. The front panel 13 is configured to be fixed to the panel support 12 via bolts or the like.

[0160] If the actuator 7 shaft 71 is inserted into the panel through hole 134 provided on the front plate after the front plate 13 is fixed to the panel support 12, the shaft 71 will be fixed to the encoder rotating body 521, and the fastening body 81b of the display part will be fixed to the encoder support body 511.

[0161] That is, when the shaft 71 is inserted into the panel through hole 134, the rotating body fastening part 712 provided on the shaft will be fixed to the shaft fastening part 522 provided on the rotating body, and the fixing body fastening part 816 provided on the fastening body 81b will be fixed to the fastening body fixing part 531 provided on the body through hole 514. Therefore, the actuator 7 is rotatably fixed to the first circuit board 4 by the rotating body 521, and the display part 8 is fixed to the first circuit board 4 by the support body 511.

[0162] At this time, the wire 822, which is pulled out to the outside through the fastening body through hole 815, can be inserted into the housing 1 through the body through hole 514 of the encoder, the first protruding through hole 413 of the housing, and the wire through hole 123 of the panel support.

[0163] Whenever the user turns the handle 73 (whenever the encoder generates an electrical signal), the interface P with the above structure will display the preset control commands on the display 84 (retrieval and modification of control commands).

[0164] When the desired control command is displayed on the display 84, the user can select the displayed control command through the selection unit 9, and the control command selected through the selection unit 9 will start when the user inputs the execution command through the second input unit 47.

[0165] On the other hand, the handle 73 is coupled to the first circuit board 4 in a rotatable manner, and the outer cover 81 of the display unit is fixed to the first circuit board 4. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the gap between the handle 73 and the outer cover 81 constant. This is because if the gap between the handle 73 and the outer cover 81 is not maintained, the rotation of the handle 73 may be restricted.

[0166] To maintain the gap between the handle 73 and the outer cover 81, a spacer (protrusion) may be provided on at least one of the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a or the receiving space 731 of the handle.

[0167] Figure 11 This is a diagram illustrating an example of the isolation element. Figure 11 The isolating member 814 is characterized by being formed by a protrusion projecting from the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a toward the circumferential surface of the handle 73. The free end of the isolating member 814 may be configured to contact the circumferential surface of the handle 73 or may not be configured to contact the circumferential surface of the handle. The isolating member 814 may be formed by a plurality of protrusions equally spaced along the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a.

[0168] Unlike the figures shown, the spacer may also be formed by a protrusion protruding from the circumferential surface of the handle 73 toward the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a. In this case, the free end of the spacer may be configured to contact the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a, or it may be configured not to contact the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a.

[0169] Although the above-described garment handling device is based on a washing machine for washing clothes, the interface can also be applied to a dryer for drying clothes. In this case, the garment handling device needs to omit the outer tub 2 and add a drying section that supplies air to the drum 3.

[0170] The drying unit may include: a supply path for supplying air to the drum; an exhaust path for discharging air from inside the drum to the outside of the housing; a heater disposed in the supply path and heating the air; and a fan disposed in the exhaust path. Alternatively, the drying unit may consist of a circulation path that resupplyes air discharged from the drum to the drum, a heat exchange unit (heat pump, etc.) disposed within the circulation path and sequentially dehumidifying and heating the air, and a fan disposed within the circulation path.
