Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to a garment processing device. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment can refer to any device capable of processing clothing, including washing, drying, or conditioning clothing fibers. Within clothing processing equipment, a washing machine is a device that uses detergent and water to remove contaminants from clothes.

[0003] Washing machines can be categorized by their washing method into agitator washing machines, vortex washing machines, and front-loading washing machines. Agitator washing machines use a rotating impeller positioned vertically in the center of the tub to wash the clothes. Vortex washing machines utilize the friction between the water flow generated by a rotating, circular impeller at the bottom of the tub and the laundry. Front-loading washing machines wash the clothes by adding water, detergent, and laundry into a drum with multiple lifters protruding from its inner side, and then rotating the drum.

[0004] Existing garment handling devices include drum washing machines (Patent Publication 10-2005-0117737). This drum washing machine includes a casing forming the exterior and a front panel forming the front of the casing. Additionally, an operation panel with an operating section is provided above the front panel. The operation panel is manufactured separately from the front panel and attached to the top of the front panel. That is, the front panel and the operation panel can be manufactured as separate components, configured such that the operation panel is attached to the front panel after assembly, or the operation panel is attached to the casing where the front panel is assembled.

[0005] Furthermore, existing garment handling devices include an input / output device (interface) for users to input control commands to electronic devices (Publication No. 10-2014-0023986). In existing garment handling devices, the multiple interfaces are designed such that a display unit for showing user-selectable control commands, a retrieval unit for retrieving control commands displayed on the display unit, a selection unit for user-selectable control commands displayed on the display unit, and an input unit for requesting the execution of user-selected control commands are located in separate spaces.

[0070] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the garment handling apparatus will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0071] like Figure 1 As shown, the garment handling device 100 may include a housing 1 and an operation display unit 9 disposed on the housing 1. The operation display unit 9 described in this application may refer to a device or program capable of communication between a user and the garment handling device (including other electronic devices such as the garment handling device). Communication between the user and the garment handling device refers to the process by which the user inputs control commands to the garment handling device and the process by which the garment handling device transmits information to the user.

[0072] The user can input control commands to the garment handling device through the operation display unit 9. Additionally, the operation display unit 9 can output information about the garment handling device to the user. For example, in the case of a washing machine, the control command can specify a process selection or an option selection. Selectable processes include bedding, normal, standard, and quick processes. Selectable options include the amount of washing water, spin-drying time, and number of rinses.

[0073] Furthermore, as examples of information output by the operation display unit 9, it may include remaining time and the types of operation options. The above examples are merely simple examples; any configuration that allows user input and output can correspond to the operation display unit 9.

[0074] The operation display unit 9 can perform the functions of a main input / output unit in the clothing handling device 100, but it is not limited to this. It can also perform the functions of an auxiliary input / output unit that assists the functions of the interface P (described later). That is, basic process selection and information display are performed in the interface P, while the operation display unit 9 can select and display information about the options.

[0075] Additionally, the garment handling device 100 may include an interface P disposed on the housing 1. As described in this application, interface P refers to a device or program capable of communication between a user and the garment handling device (including other electronic devices such as the garment handling device). Communication between the user and the garment handling device refers to the process by which the user inputs control commands to the garment handling device and the process by which the garment handling device transmits information to the user.

[0076] The interface P can be configured to communicate with the operation display unit 9. The interface P can receive information input from the operation display unit 9 and control the garment handling device 100. Conversely, the operation display unit 9 can receive information input to the interface P and control the garment handling device 100.

[0077] The enclosure 1 may include: an enclosure body 11, one side of which is open; and a panel (mounting panel) 13, which is fixed to the open side of the enclosure body. Figure 1 An example is shown in which the mounting panel 13 is fixed to the front of the main body 11 of the housing in such a way that it forms the front of the garment handling device.

[0078] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting panel 13 is provided with a panel inlet 131 that connects the interior of the housing 1 to the exterior. The panel inlet 131 is closed by a door 132 that is rotatably fixed to the housing 1.

[0079] The interior of the housing 1 includes: an outer tub 2, which provides space for storing water; and a drum 3, which is rotatably disposed inside the outer tub, providing space for accommodating clothing (the general term for the objects to be washed).

[0080] The outer barrel 2 can be a hollow cylindrical body 21. The outer barrel body 21 can be fixed to the inside of the box 1 by the outer barrel support 22. Figure 2 An example is shown where the outer tub support 22 has a spring (connecting the upper space of the outer tub body to the box) and a damper (connecting the lower space of the outer tub body to the box).

[0081] An outer tub inlet 211 is provided in the space provided by the outer tub body 21, facing the panel inlet 131. The panel inlet 131 and the outer tub inlet 211 are connected by a sealing gasket 212. The sealing gasket 212 is made of an elastomer such as rubber and is a device that prevents water inside the outer tub body 21 from draining into the box body 1, thereby minimizing the transmission of vibrations from the outer tub body 21 to the box body 1.

[0082] The outer barrel body 21 can receive water through the water supply section 23, and the water stored in the outer barrel body 21 can be discharged to the outside of the box 1 through the drain section 25.

[0083] The drainage section 25 may include: a pump 252 located at a lower position than the outer tub body 21; a first drain pipe 251 connecting the outer tub body 21 and the pump 252; and a second drain pipe 253 guiding the water discharged from the pump 252 to the outside of the tank.

[0084] The water supply unit 23 may include: a water supply pipe 231, which connects a water source located outside the box and the outer barrel body 21; and a water supply valve 233, which controls the opening and closing of the water supply pipe 231.

[0085] As shown in the figure, the garment handling device 100 may also include a detergent supply unit 24.

[0086] like Figure 3 As shown, the detergent supply unit 24 may include: a drawer cover 241 disposed inside the housing 1; a connecting pipe 242 connecting the drawer cover to the outer tub body 21; and a drawer 243 that can be drawn out from the drawer cover 241 through a drawer inlet 133 disposed on the mounting panel 13.

[0087] The drawer 243 may include: a chamber 245 providing space for storing detergent; and a drain path 247 for draining the detergent from the chamber into the drawer cover 241. If the water level of the liquid stored in the chamber 245 exceeds a preset water level, the drain path 247 may be a watertrap (such as a siphon) that moves the liquid toward the drawer cover 241.

[0088] When the detergent supply unit 24 is provided in the laundry handling device 100, the water supply unit 23 may also have a nozzle 232 for supplying water to the chamber 245. The nozzle 232 may be fixed to the cabinet 1 in such a way that it forms the upper surface of the drawer cover 241, and the water supply pipe 231 may connect the nozzle 232 and the water supply source.

[0089] A drawer panel 248 may be provided on the front of the drawer 243. The drawer panel 248 may have a shape that closes the drawer opening 133, and a drawer handle may be provided on the drawer panel 248.

[0090] like Figure 2 As shown, the roller 3 may include: a roller body 31 located inside the outer barrel body 21 and having a cylindrical shape; and a drive unit 32 that rotatably fixes the roller body 21 to the outer barrel body 21.

[0091] A roller inlet 311 is provided in the space provided by the roller body 31 facing the outer tub inlet 211. Therefore, clothes can be put into the roller body 31 through the panel inlet 131, the outer tub inlet 211 and the roller inlet 311.

[0092] The drum body 31 is provided with a drum through hole 312 that connects the inside of the drum body to the outside. The drum through hole 312 can be respectively provided on the circumferential surface, the front surface (the surface covering the drum inlet) and the rear surface of the drum body 31. Therefore, water or detergent supplied to the inside of the outer drum body 21 can be supplied to the inside of the drum body 31 through the drum through hole 312.

[0093] The drive unit 32 may include: a stator 321, fixed to the rear of the outer drum body 21, forming a rotating magnetic field; a rotor 322, which is rotated 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.

[0094] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting panel 13 can be fixed to the housing body 11 via the panel support 12. That is, the panel support 12 can be fixed to the housing body 11, and the mounting panel 13 can be fixed to the panel support 12. In this case, as... Figure 4 As shown, the panel support portion 12 may be provided with a drawer through hole 121 through which the drawer 243 passes.

[0095] The interface P can also be fixed in the interface mounting slot provided in the panel support 12, and can be fixed to the mounting panel 13 in such a way as to be located in the interface mounting slot.

[0096] The tank 1 may have an outer tub 2 inside to provide space for storing water. Inside the outer tub, a roller 3 is provided, which is rotatably disposed inside the outer tub to provide space for accommodating clothes (the general term for the items to be washed).

[0097] like Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 may include a plurality of through holes passing through the mounting panel 13. The mounting panel 13 may include a mounting plate 138 forming the front side of the housing 1. Specifically, the plurality of through holes may pass through the mounting plate 138.

[0098] As described above, the housing 1 may include a panel access port 131 and a drawer access port 133. Additionally, the housing may include a first button mounting portion 136, a second button mounting portion 137, and a panel through hole 134 that pass through the mounting panel 13.

[0099] A first button 461 and a second button 471 are respectively mounted on the first button mounting portion 136 and the second button mounting portion 137, and are exposed to the user. Additionally, an interface P is mounted on the panel through hole 134. Details of the first button mounting portion 136, the second button mounting portion 137, and the panel through hole 134 will be described later.

[0100] The housing 1 may include a panel mounting hole 135, which passes through the mounting panel 13 separately from the aforementioned through holes (first button mounting part, second button mounting part, and panel through hole). The aforementioned operation display part 9 may be mounted in the panel mounting hole 135. Specifically, the operation display part 9 may be mounted in the panel mounting hole 135 with a portion exposed to the user. The specific structure of the operation display part 9 will be described later.

[0101] Additionally, a coating film can be fixed to the housing 1, and the coating film is fixed to the surface of the mounting panel 13 that is exposed to the outside of the housing 1. The "surface exposed to the outside of the housing" can refer to the surface that forms the outer surface of the housing 1 before it is assembled with the plurality of components including the panel inlet 131, drawer inlet 133, panel through hole 134, and panel mounting hole 135.

[0102] On the other hand, the mounting panel 13 can be manufactured by first coating the outer surface with a coating film F, and then punching the aforementioned through holes 131, 133, and 134 into the mounting panel 13. That is, the plurality of through holes 131, 133, and 134 of the mounting panel 13 can be formed by punching the mounting panel 13 with the coating film F attached inward.

[0103] During the process of forming the through holes 131, 133, and 134 on the mounting panel 13, a portion of the components of the mounting panel 13 may be rolled into the inside of the through holes 131, 133, and 134, and a coating film may be applied to the outer side of the components of the mounting panel 13 rolled into the inside.

[0104] The mounting panel 13 can be made of a metal material such as stainless steel. Compared to the case where it is made of synthetic resin, it is not easy to achieve color on the outer side when it is made of a metal material. Therefore, in order to achieve the color of the mounting panel 13, the coating film F can have a specific pattern or color. This can improve the overall aesthetics of the garment handling device 100.

[0105] In addition, the coating film F can protect the outer surface of the mounting panel 13. When the mounting panel 13 is made of metal, problems such as damage to the outer surface, corrosion of the mounting panel 13, or decreased aesthetics may occur. The coating film F can prevent damage to the mounting panel 13.

[0106] Figure 6 An exploded perspective view of the operation display unit 9 described above is shown.

[0107] The operation display unit 9 may include a window 91 connected to the panel mounting hole 135. The window 91 can close the panel mounting hole 135. The window 91 can prevent foreign objects from flowing into the interior of the housing 1 through the panel mounting hole 135.

[0108] Furthermore, the window 91 can be formed of a light-transmitting material, allowing light emanating from the interior of the housing 1 to reach the user. Additionally, the window 91 can be integrated with the panel mounting hole 135, exposing itself to the exterior of the housing 1. Therefore, the user can view the interior of the housing 1 through the window 91.

[0109] Furthermore, the window 91 can be located outside the housing 1, thus allowing it to be in contact with the user. The user can touch the window 91 using a part of their body, such as a finger, thereby inputting control commands.

[0110] That is, the window 91 can form part of the input section where the user can input control commands, and can form part of the output section where information output from the inside is transmitted to the user.

[0111] Additionally, the operation display unit 9 may include a control circuit board 95 located inside the housing 1. The control circuit board 95 can receive control signals input to the garment processing device 100 and control the operation of the garment processing device 100 based on the control signals.

[0112] On the other hand, the control circuit board 95 can transmit the input control signal to the interface P without directly controlling the operation of the garment handling device 100. As described above, when the control circuit board 95 only transmits the control signal to the interface P without directly controlling the operation of the garment handling device 100, the operation display unit 9 can perform the function of the auxiliary input unit.

[0113] Alternatively, the main control unit can be separately located inside the housing 1 from the control circuit board 95 and interface P, controlling the garment processing device 100. In this case, the control circuit board 95 and interface P can perform the function of transmitting information about option / process selection to the main control unit instead of directly controlling the garment processing device.

[0114] Additionally, the operation display unit 9 may include a touch film 93 fixed in the window facing the interior of the housing 1. The touch film 93 may be a sensor with a thin film shape.

[0115] The touch film 93 may include a film sensor 931, which is fixed in the window 91 on the side facing the inside of the housing 1 to sense whether the user's body is in contact with the window 91.

[0116] In addition, the touch film 93 may include a film wire 932, which connects the film sensor 931 and the control circuit board 95, and transmits the electrical signal input through the film sensor 931 to the control circuit board 95.

[0117] Both the membrane sensor 931 and the membrane wire 932 can have a thin film shape. Furthermore, the membrane sensor 931 and the membrane wire 932 can be formed of a flexible material. That is, the membrane sensor 931 and the membrane wire 932 can be formed of a flexible material that bends according to the condition.

[0118] That is, when the side of the window 91 that fixes the membrane sensor 931 is formed as a curved surface, the membrane sensor 931 is also bent in a manner with a specified curvature, so that it can be tightly combined with the window 91.

[0119] Alternatively, the membrane wire 932 may also be formed of a flexible material, which connects the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit board 95 through a structure located between the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit board 95.

[0120] Additionally, the operation display unit 9 may include a substrate support 94 that supports the control circuit substrate 95 so that the control circuit substrate 95 is located inside the housing 1. The substrate support 94 may be located between the panel mounting hole 135 and the control circuit substrate 95. That is, the substrate support 94 may be located closer to the window 91 than the control circuit substrate 95.

[0121] The substrate support 94 can be directly attached to the mounting panel 13 while the control circuit board 95 is mounted. Therefore, the additional configuration for mounting the input / output device, including the control circuit board 95, to the garment handling device can be omitted. That is, the substrate support 94 allows the control circuit board 95 to be located inside the housing 1, thereby improving the space efficiency inside the housing 1. The structure of the substrate support 94 attached to the mounting panel 13 will be described later.

[0122] The substrate support 94 may include a mounting body 941 that provides space for mounting the control circuit substrate 95. The mounting body 941 may form a receiving space on its surface facing the interior of the housing. The control circuit substrate 95 may be mounted in the receiving space.

[0123] The mounting body 941 can be configured to accommodate the control circuit board 95 in a direction away from the panel mounting hole 135. Therefore, the mounting body 941 can prevent the control circuit board 95 from being exposed to foreign matter flowing in from the outside of the housing 1.

[0124] Additionally, the operation display unit 9 may include an information output unit 92, which displays information controlled by the control circuit board 95. The information output unit 92 may be connected to the control circuit board 95. The information output unit 92 may be a display panel. When the information output unit 92 is a display panel, it is connected to the control circuit board 95 and can display information about the clothing processing device 100, such as its status or option selection, based on signals transmitted from the control circuit board 95.

[0125] Furthermore, the information output unit 92 may be opposite the window 91. Specifically, the information output unit 92 may be configured to be contactable with the window 91. The user can view the information displayed on the information output unit 92 through the window 91.

[0126] Additionally, the information output unit 92 can be coupled to and fixed to the substrate support unit 94. The substrate support unit 94 may include a display mounting slot 946 for mounting the information output unit 92. The display mounting slot 946 can be recessed into the mounting body 941 opposite to the window 91. A through portion penetrating the mounting body 941 may be provided on one side of the display mounting slot 946, allowing the connecting wires connecting the information output unit 92 and the control circuit board 95 to pass through.

[0127] That is, when the information output section 92 is a display panel, the information output section 92 can be located between the substrate support section 94 and the window 91.

[0128] On the other hand, the information output unit 92 may be a light-emitting component such as an LED (not shown). When the information output unit 92 is the light-emitting component (not shown), the light-emitting component is connected to the control circuit board 95, and information about the clothing handling device 100 can be displayed based on the signals transmitted from the control circuit board 95.

[0129] When the information output unit 92 is a light-emitting component (not shown), as an example of displaying information to the user, the information output unit 92 can be a plurality of light-emitting components, which can be arranged side by side along the height direction of the window 91. The user can confirm the currently selected option based on the number of light-emitting components that are lit.

[0130] As an example, when the four light-emitting components are arranged side by side along the height direction, if only one light-emitting component at the bottom is lit, the user can recognize that step 1 has been selected. Furthermore, if the two light-emitting components at the bottom are lit, the user can recognize that step 2 has been selected.

[0131] When the information output unit 92 is a light-emitting component (not shown), the information output unit 92 displays the signal transmitted from the control circuit board 95 in the manner described above and is identifiable by the user.

[0132] When the information output section 92 is a light-emitting component (not shown), it can also be supported on the substrate support section 94. The substrate support section 94 may include a light-emitting component insertion hole 947 that passes through the mounting body 941. The information output section 92 can be inserted into the light-emitting component insertion hole 947 and connected to the control circuit board 95.

[0133] When the information output unit 92 is a light-emitting component (not shown), one end of the information output unit 92 can be connected to the control circuit board 95, and the other end can be opposite to the window 91. A letter film (not shown) that can be recognized by the user when the light-emitting component (not shown) is lit can be attached to one side of the window 91, thereby displaying information to the user.

[0134] The operation display unit 9 may further include a communication module 97, which is capable of sending and receiving communication signals with other components or additional electronic devices of the garment handling device 100. The communication module 97 can also communicate with control devices such as the interface P.

[0135] The operation display unit 9 can send and receive signals with other control units provided in the clothing processing device 100 using the communication module 97. Of course, it can also control the operation of the clothing processing device 100 by sending and receiving signals with external devices (e.g., remote control devices).

[0136] The communication module 97 can be coupled to the substrate support portion 94. The substrate support portion 94 may include a communication module coupling portion 948. The communication module coupling portion 948 may be disposed on one side of the mounting body 941. The communication module coupling portion 948 may be formed in the shape of a hook protruding from the outer side of the mounting body 941. The communication module 97 can be coupled to one side of the mounting body 941 by the hook.

[0137] The operation display unit 9 may include a substrate cover 96, which is coupled to the substrate support 94 to prevent foreign matter from flowing into the control circuit board 95. The substrate cover 96 may be coupled to the mounting body 941. For mounting the control circuit board 95, the side of the mounting body 941 located away from the window 91 may be open. The substrate cover 96 may cover the open side of the mounting body 941.

[0138] The substrate cover 96 may include: a substrate cover shielding body 961, which is parallel to the control circuit substrate 95; and a substrate cover extension body 962, which extends from the periphery of the substrate cover shielding body 961 toward the substrate support portion 94.

[0139] The substrate cover shielding body 961 can prevent external foreign matter from entering the interior of the mounting body 941, and the substrate cover extension body 962 can connect the substrate cover shielding body 961 to the substrate support 94.

[0140] The substrate cover 96 may include a substrate cover through-hole 963 that penetrates the substrate cover shielding body 961. Power lines for supplying power to the control circuit board 95 can be connected to the control circuit board 95 through the substrate cover through-hole 963.

[0141] Additionally, the substrate cover 96 may include a substrate cover fastening hole 964 extending through the substrate cover extension body 962. The substrate cover 96 can be attached to the substrate support portion 94 through the substrate cover fastening hole 964.

[0142] The substrate support portion 94 may include a cover locking body 9422 protruding from the outer side of the mounting body 941. The substrate cover fastening hole 964 can be supported by the cover locking body 9422. When the substrate cover 96 is engaged with the substrate support portion 94, the cover locking body 9422 can be located inside the substrate cover fastening hole 964. Using the structure described above, the substrate cover 96 can be engaged with the substrate support portion 94 without additional fastening components.

[0143] It can prevent foreign objects from flowing into the control circuit board 95 through the substrate cover 96, and the substrate cover 96 can be combined without additional fastening components, thus improving assemblability.

[0144] Figure 7 A cross-section showing the state of the operation display unit 9 is presented.

[0145] Reference Figure 7 It can be confirmed that the panel mounting hole 135 is connected to the window 91, and from the window 91 toward the inside of the housing 1, the substrate support 94, the control circuit substrate 95, and the substrate cover 96 are connected in sequence.

[0146] However, it is not limited to this. It can be configured such that the control circuit board 95 is mounted on the board cover 96, and the board support 94 supports the board cover 96 on which the control circuit board 95 is mounted.

[0147] The mounting body 941 can accommodate the control circuit board 95 in a direction away from the window 91. The control circuit board 95 can be mounted such that its side facing the window 91 is supported on the mounting body 941.

[0148] Additionally, the substrate support 94 may include a substrate fixing body 942 extending from the mounting body 941. The substrate fixing body 942 may include an elastic protrusion 9421 that supports the surface of the control circuit substrate 95 facing the roller 3. A plurality of elastic protrusions 9421 may be provided around the periphery of the mounting body 941. The elastic protrusions 9421 may extend in a hook shape.

[0149] Specifically, the elastic protrusion 9421 may be in the shape of extending from the mounting body 941 away from the window 91 and then bending towards the window 91. That is, a portion of the elastic protrusion 9421 may be located outside the mounting body 941, and the free end of the elastic protrusion 9421 may be located inside the mounting body 941.

[0150] The free end of the elastic protrusion 9421 can be supported on the control circuit board 95. The elastic protrusion 9421 can be disposed on the upper and lower sides of the mounting body 941. In addition, the position of the elastic protrusion 9421 is not limited to the example described above. It can be disposed in various positions as long as the elastic protrusion 9421 can be supported on the control circuit board 95.

[0151] To illustrate an example of the assembly process of combining the control circuit board 95 with the mounting body 941, the user can insert the control circuit board 95 between the opposing elastic protrusions 9421. During insertion of the control circuit board 95, the elastic protrusions 9421 deform within a predetermined range and then return to their original shape.

[0152] Specifically, during the insertion of the control circuit board 95, the elastic protrusion 9421 can open outward from the mounting body 941. That is, the elastic protrusion 9421 can move a predetermined distance away from the control circuit board 95. In other words, the elastic protrusion 9421 can rotate a predetermined angle with respect to the portion in contact with the mounting body 941.

[0153] The control circuit board 95 can move to the inside of the mounting body 941 through the space opened outward by the elastic protrusion 9421. Furthermore, when the control circuit board 95 moves a predetermined distance inward into the mounting body 941, the control circuit board 95 can be closer to the window than the free end of the elastic protrusion 9421. At this time, the elastic protrusion 9421, which has opened outward from the mounting body 941, can be reset to its initial position by a restoring force. If the position of the elastic protrusion 9421 is restored, the side of the control circuit board 95 facing the roller 3 can be supported by the elastic protrusion 9421, and the other side of the control circuit board 95 facing the window 91 can be supported by the mounting body 941. Additionally, the periphery of the control circuit board 95 can be supported by the mounting body 941.

[0154] On the other hand, the substrate support portion 94 may further include a cover locking body 9422 that engages with the substrate cover 96. The substrate fixing body 942 may further include a cover locking body 9422 for engaging with the aforementioned substrate cover 96. The cover locking body 9422 may protrude from the periphery of the mounting body 941 in a direction away from the control circuit substrate 95. Moreover, the cover locking body 9422 may protrude from the elastic protrusion 9421 in a direction away from the control circuit substrate 95.

[0155] The substrate cover 96 may be configured to surround the periphery of the mounting body 941. The substrate cover 96 may be coupled to the cover locking body 9422. As described above, the substrate cover 96 may include a substrate cover fastening hole 964 penetrating the substrate cover extension body 962, and the cover locking body 9422 may be coupled to the substrate cover fastening hole 964.

[0156] Specifically, a portion of the cover locking body 9422 may be located inside the substrate cover fastening hole 964. Thus, the substrate cover 96 can be coupled to the substrate support 94 without additional coupling components.

[0157] The substrate support 94 may include a light-emitting component insertion hole 947 that passes through the mounting body 941 on the side opposite to the window 91. The light-emitting component insertion hole 947 passes through the mounting body 941 and can extend toward the control circuit substrate 95.

[0158] One end of the light-emitting component insertion hole 947 can be configured to contact the control circuit board 95. As described above, the information output unit 92 may include a light-emitting component (not shown). The light-emitting component (not shown) may include at least one LED. The light-emitting component (not shown) can be connected to the control circuit board 95 and can be accommodated in the light-emitting component insertion hole 947. That is, one end of the light-emitting component (not shown) of the information output unit 92 can be connected to the control circuit board 95, and the other end can be close to the window 91. The control circuit board 95 can transmit a signal to the light-emitting component (not shown) and illuminate the light-emitting component (not shown). If the light-emitting component (not shown) is illuminated, the user can recognize that the light-emitting component (not shown) has been illuminated through the window 91.

[0159] The light-emitting component insertion hole 947 can prevent the light-emitting component (not shown) from being damaged by external impacts or vibrations.

[0160] Figure 8 A window and its cross-section according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown. Figure 9 The diagram illustrates the form and cross-section of a window mounted on a mounting panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0161] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 The window 91 may include a window body 911 located in the panel mounting hole 135. The window body 911 may have a shape corresponding to the panel mounting hole 135. Specifically, when the panel mounting hole 135 passes through the mounting panel 13 in a rectangular shape, the window body 911 may also be made in a rectangular shape.

[0162] The window body 911 can be made of a light-transmitting material. Therefore, the user can recognize the information displayed on the information output section 92 located behind the window body 911. Alternatively, a letter film can be coated onto the window body 911. This letter film can block light transmission through a portion of the window body 911.

[0163] As an example of installing the letter film, the letter film allows light to pass through the window body 911 positioned corresponding to the information output section 92. Additionally, the letter film can block light transmission through the window body 911 positioned in a location not corresponding to the information output section 92.

[0164] Therefore, the letter film prevents unnecessary parts of the interior of the housing 1 from being visually exposed to the user through the window body 911. The parts of the interior of the housing 1 that need to be exposed to the user can refer to the parts located at the position corresponding to the information output section 92. In this manner, the letter film prevents a decrease in aesthetics due to unnecessary exposure of the internal components of the clothing handling device.

[0165] Additionally, the window 91 may also include an outer extension 912 and an inner extension 913 disposed at the edge of the window body 911 to close the panel mounting hole 135.

[0166] The outer extension 912 can extend from the edge of the window body 911 and be located outside the housing 1. On the other hand, the inner extension 913 can extend from the edge of the window body 911 and be located inside the housing 1. That is, the outer extension 912 can be exposed to the user, while the inner extension 913 can be concealed from the user after being combined with the window 91.

[0167] The outer extension 912 and the inner extension 913 prevent foreign matter from entering the gap between the window body 911 and the mounting panel 13. If foreign matter flows in through the panel mounting hole 135, electronic components such as the control circuit board 95 located inside the housing 1 may malfunction. Therefore, the outer extension 912 and the inner extension 913 prevent foreign matter from entering the interior, thereby improving the stability of the garment handling device.

[0168] On the other hand, the inner extension 913 may be closer to the roller 3 than the outer extension 912. That is, both the inner extension 913 and the outer extension 912 may extend from the edge of the window body 911, the inner extension 913 may extend from the portion of the edge of the window body 911 closer to the roller 3, and the outer extension 912 may extend from the portion of the edge of the window body 911 away from the roller 3.

[0169] The outer extension 912 can first cover the space between the window body 911 and the panel mounting hole 135, and the inner extension 913 can then block the space between the window body 911 and the panel mounting hole 135. That is, due to the outer extension 912 and the inner extension 913, the space between the window body 911 and the panel mounting hole 135 can be doubly blocked.

[0170] Furthermore, the outer extension 912 can be provided along the edge of the window body 911. That is, the outer extension 912 can be provided along the entire periphery of the window body 911. Specifically, the outer extension 912 can increase the area of ​​the window body 911 exposed to the outside of the housing 1.

[0171] On the other hand, the inner extension 913 may be provided on at least a portion of the edge of the window body 911. That is, when the window body 911 has a rectangular shape, the inner extension 913 may be provided on only one of the four sides of the window body 911. In particular, the inner extension 913 may extend upward from the upper side of the window body 911.

[0172] Specifically, foreign objects flowing in from the upper side of the window body 911 are highly likely to easily flow into the control circuit board 95 by gravity. Therefore, the inner extension 913 can be provided only on the upper side of the window body 911.

[0173] Furthermore, the window 91 can be joined from the outside of the mounting panel 13 toward the inside of the housing 1. Therefore, if the inner extension 913 is provided along the entire edge of the window body 911, it may be difficult to install the window 91. Therefore, the inner extension 913 is provided in a portion of the edge of the window body 911, thereby improving the assemblability of the window 91.

[0174] Furthermore, the length of the outer extension 912 extending from the window body 911 can be less than the length of the inner extension 913 extending from the window body 911. Since the outer extension 912 protrudes to the outside of the housing 1, if the extension length of the outer extension 912 excessively exceeds the area of ​​the panel mounting hole 135, the overall aesthetics and sense of unity of the clothing handling device are reduced.

[0175] On the other hand, the inner extension 913 is located inside the housing 1, and therefore can extend regardless of the area of ​​the panel mounting hole 135. That is, the inner extension 913 can extend longer than the outer extension 912, thereby further improving the effect of preventing foreign matter penetration.

[0176] Furthermore, as an example of mounting the window 91 to the mounting panel 13, the inner extension 913 can be first inserted into the interior of the housing through the panel mounting hole 135, and the window body 911 can rotate around the inner extension 913 to be positioned in the panel mounting hole 135. When the inner extension 913 is formed to be longer than the outer extension 912, the inner extension 913 can more stably support the window body 911 during the installation of the window 91. Therefore, the assemblability of the window 91 can be improved.

[0177] Furthermore, the inner extension 913 may extend longer than the distance between the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 and the window body 911. That is, the length of the inner extension 913 extending from the edge of the window body 911 is longer than the length between the window body 911 and the panel mounting hole 135, thereby preventing foreign matter from entering into the gap formed at the edge of the window body 911.

[0178] On the other hand, the mounting panel 13 may also include a flange 1351 located at the edge of the panel mounting hole 135. The flange 1351 may extend from the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 toward the direction of the roller.

[0179] The flange 1351 can be formed during the process of penetrating the mounting panel 13 to form the panel mounting hole 135. As described above, the flange 1351 can be formed by bending a portion of the mounting panel 13 inward during the process of penetrating the mounting panel 13 in the direction of inward movement towards the interior of the housing 1 to create the panel mounting hole 135. That is, the flange 1351 can form a portion of the mounting panel 13.

[0180] The outer extension 912 can extend longer than the distance between the window body 911 and the flange 1351. That is, the outer extension 912 can prevent the space between the window body 911 and the flange 1351 from being exposed to the outside. Therefore, the outer extension 912 has the effect of preventing foreign objects from penetrating between the window body 911 and the flange 1351.

[0181] The flange 1351 may be located between the outer extension 912 and the inner extension 913. That is, the outer extension 912 may be located further away from the roller 3 than the flange 1351. In addition, the inner extension 913 may be closer to the roller 3 than the flange 1351.

[0182] The outer extension 912 can extend from the edge of the window body 911 toward the flange 1351. The outer extension 912 contacts the flange 1351, thereby shielding the panel mounting hole 135.

[0183] On the other hand, the inner extension 913 can be configured to contact the free end of the flange 1351. In other words, the inner extension 913 can be configured to contact one end of the flange 1351 near the roller 3. The contact between the inner extension 913 and the flange 1351 can prevent foreign matter from flowing into the space between the flange 1351 and the window body 911.

[0184] Furthermore, observing one example of the process by which the window 91 is attached to the mounting panel 13, the inner extension 913 can be inserted into the interior of the housing 1 through the panel mounting hole 135, and can contact one end of the flange 1351. Moreover, the window 91 rotates around the contact point between the flange 1351 and the inner extension 913, so that the window body 911 can be located in the panel mounting hole 135.

[0185] As described above, when the flange 1351 and the inner extension 913 are in contact, the inner extension 913 can further effectively prevent foreign matter from entering and has the effect of improving the assemblability of the window 91.

[0186] On the other hand, the flange 1351 can be connected to the side of the mounting panel 13 with the panel mounting hole 135 having a predetermined curvature. The side 138 of the mounting panel with the panel mounting hole 135 can be defined as the mounting plate 138. The mounting plate 138 can form the front surface of the housing 1. Hereinafter, for ease of explanation, the side of the mounting panel 13 with the panel mounting hole 135 will be referred to as the mounting plate 138.

[0187] In other words, the flange 1351 may have a preset curvature with the mounting plate 138, and the side of the outer extension 912 opposite to the flange may have a curvature corresponding to the curvature of the flange 1351.

[0188] Referring to the accompanying drawings, the portion of the flange 1351 located at the upper part of the window body 911 can extend with a predetermined curvature c3 relative to the mounting plate 138. In this case, the outer extension 912 opposite to the flange 1351 can have a corresponding curvature c4.

[0189] Furthermore, the portion of the flange 1351 located at the lower part of the window body 911 can extend with a predetermined curvature c5 to the mounting plate 138. In this case, the outer extension 912 opposite to the flange 1351 can have a corresponding curvature c6.

[0190] At this time, the curvature of the flange 1351 can be defined as a first curvature c3, c5, and the curvature of the outer extension 912 can be defined as a second curvature c4, c6. The first curvature c3, c5 and the second curvature c4, c6 can correspond to each other.

[0191] As described above, when the flange 1351 and the outer extension 912 have corresponding curvatures, the outer extension 912 can more effectively close the panel mounting hole 135. Therefore, it has a more effective effect in preventing foreign matter from entering. Furthermore, since the contact portion between the flange 1351 and the outer extension 912 can be curved, damage to the flange 1351 or the window 91 can be prevented during assembly.

[0192] On the other hand, the outer extension 912 and the inner extension 913 can be integrally formed with the window body 911. That is, the outer extension 912 and the inner extension 913 can be integrally formed during the molding of the window 91, rather than being manufactured and joined separately from the window body 911. Therefore, gaps can be prevented from forming between the window body 911 and the outer extension 912, and between the window body 911 and the inner extension 913. Thus, the effect of preventing foreign matter penetration is improved.

[0193] Additionally, the window 91 may also include a window flow path 914 disposed between the inner extension 913 and the outer extension 912. The window flow path 914 can prevent foreign objects flowing into the panel mounting hole 135 from moving toward the control circuit board 95.

[0194] Specifically, the window flow path 914 can be formed by the inner extension 913, the outer extension 912, and the window body 911. The inner extension 913 and the outer extension 912 extend from the edge of the window body 911, thus forming a channel for fluid flow between the inner extension 913 and the outer extension 912.

[0195] In particular, when the inner extension 913 is located on the upper side of the window body 911, the window flow path 914 can also be formed on the upper part of the window body 911. The outer extension 912 can initially block the inflow of foreign matter, but various foreign objects, including water, can flow into the gap between the outer extension 912 and the mounting panel 13. If foreign objects remain on the upper side of the window body 911 via the outer extension 912, problems such as odor due to decay may occur. Therefore, the window flow path 914 can guide foreign objects in the lateral direction of the window body 911.

[0196] With the window flow path 914 located above the window body 911, incoming foreign objects can be moved downwards by gravity. The window flow path 914 restricts the path of foreign object movement, thereby preventing foreign objects from flowing into the control circuit board 95. Therefore, the garment handling device can be prevented from malfunctioning or err due to foreign objects.

[0197] The top surface of the window body 911 can be formed to slope downwards in the width direction of the window body 911. That is, the window flow path 914 can be formed to slope downwards in the width direction of the window body 911. In addition, the top surface of the window body 911 can be formed to slope downwards on both sides based on a certain part.

[0198] On the other hand, as described above, the window body 911 can have a rectangular shape. Specifically, it can be made of a thin plastic component with a rectangular shape. Furthermore, the outer extension 912 can be provided along the entire edge of the window body 911. Conversely, the inner extension 913 can be provided on one side of the edge of the window body 911.

[0199] In particular, the inner extension 913 may be disposed on the top surface of the edge of the window body 911. The inner extension 913 may extend upward from the top surface of the edge of the window body 911.

[0200] That is, the outer extension 912 can extend from the four sides of the rectangular window body 911. On the other hand, the inner extension 913 can extend from the top surface located on the upper side of the four sides of the window body 911.

[0201] The window 91 can be attached to the mounting panel 13 from the outside of the housing 1 through the panel mounting hole 135. That is, it can be formed by an external attachment structure. Therefore, when the inner extension 913 is only provided on one side, it is easy to provide the inner extension 913 into the interior of the housing 1. Therefore, it has the effect of improving the assemblability of attaching the window 91 to the mounting panel 13.

[0202] Furthermore, there is a high probability that foreign objects flowing into the upper side of the window body 911 will flow into the control circuit board 95 by gravity. Therefore, compared to the case where the extension 913 is provided on the top surface of the window body 911, the effect of preventing foreign objects from flowing in can be further improved when the extension 913 is provided on the top surface of the window body 911.

[0203] On the other hand, in order to fit into the panel mounting hole 135, the window body 911 may have a smaller area than the area of ​​the panel mounting hole 135. Therefore, a gap may be formed between the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 and the window body 911. Consequently, the extension length of the outer extension 912 may be greater than the distance between the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 and the window body 911.

[0204] As described above, when the extension length of the outer extension 912 is longer than the distance between the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 and the window body 911, the outer extension 912 can prevent foreign objects from penetrating into the gap between the window body 911 and the edge of the panel mounting hole 135. Furthermore, when configured as described above, the outer extension 912 can further effectively seal the panel mounting hole 135.

[0205] Furthermore, during the installation of the window 91 onto the mounting panel 13, it can be installed from the outside of the housing 1 towards the inside. In this case, the outer extension 912 can determine the position of the window body 911 to prevent the window 91 from falling into the interior of the housing 1.

[0206] When the extension length of the outer extension 912 is greater than the distance between the edges of the window body 911 and the panel mounting hole 135, the outer extension 912 can contact the mounting panel 13 during the installation of the window 91. If the outer extension 912 contacts the mounting panel 13, it can be identified that the window body 911 is aligned to the correct position. Furthermore, since the outer extension 912 restricts the movement of the window body 911 towards the inside of the housing 1, it prevents the window 91 from falling into the housing 1 through the panel mounting hole 135. Therefore, it improves the assemblability of the window 91.

[0207] On the other hand, the window 91 may also include a window coupling portion 915 that engages the window body 911 with the mounting panel 13. The window coupling portion 915 extends from the window body 911 toward the roller 3. Specifically, the window coupling portion 915 may be located in the window body 911 in a direction away from the inner extension portion 913.

[0208] In particular, when the inner extension 913 is located on the top surface of the window body 911, the window connecting portion 915 can be located near the lower side of the window body 911. As described above, during the process of connecting the window 91 to the mounting panel 13, the inner extension 913 is first inserted into the panel mounting hole 135, and the window body 911 can be rotated with reference to the contact point between the inner extension 913 and the flange 1351. If the window body 911 is located in the panel mounting hole 135, the window connecting portion 915 can also be connected to the mounting panel 13, thereby supporting the window body 911.

[0209] That is, when the inner extension 913 and the window joint 915 are arranged opposite to each other on the window body, the window body 911 can be supported in multiple directions, thus having the effect of fixing the window 91 more firmly to the mounting panel 13.

[0210] As described above, the mounting panel 13 may include a flange 1351. Additionally, the flange 1351 may also include a connecting rib 1354 supporting the window body. The connecting rib 1354 may refer to the portion of the flange 1351 near the panel opening 131. In particular, the connecting rib 1354 may support the lower side of the window body 911.

[0211] As described above, when the panel mounting hole 135 has a quadrilateral shape, the portion extending from the periphery of the panel mounting hole 135 toward the interior of the housing 1 can be referred to as flange 1351. Furthermore, the flange 1351 located on the two side sides and the lower side of the four sides forming the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 can be named support rib 1353. Additionally, the support rib 1353 located on the lower side can be named connecting rib 1354.

[0212] That is, the part of the flange 1351 closest to the panel inlet 131 can be referred to as the connecting rib 1354.

[0213] However, not limited to the above, the portion of the flange 1351 that connects to the window joint 915 can be defined as the connecting rib 1354.

[0214] The connecting rib 1354 can support the lower side of the window body 911. In addition, the window joint 915 can be connected to and supported by the connecting rib 1354.

[0215] Specifically, the window joint 915 may include: a window support body 9151 extending from the side of the window body 911 toward the interior of the housing 1; and a window fixing body 9152 protruding from the window support body 9151 and joined to the connecting rib 1354.

[0216] The window support body 9151 can extend parallel to the connecting rib 1354. Furthermore, the window support body 9151 can contact the connecting rib 1354 and support the window body 911. Additionally, the window fixing body 9152 can have a hook shape to engage with the connecting rib 1354. That is, the window support body 9151 and the window fixing body 9152 have an integral hook shape, allowing them to engage and support the connecting rib 1354.

[0217] Furthermore, there may be a plurality of window joints 915, which may be configured to be spaced apart from each other on one side of the window body 911. Additionally, the plurality of window joints 915 can connect the window body 911 to the mounting panel 13 at various locations. Therefore, the window body 911 can be more securely supported on the mounting panel 13.

[0218] Figure 10 A panel mounting hole 135 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Additionally, Figure 11 A panel mounting hole 135 and a drawer inlet 133 formed on a mounting panel 13 according to an embodiment of the present invention are shown.

[0219] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 11 A garment handling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a flange 1351 extending from the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 toward the roller 3. As described above, the flange 1351 may be naturally formed during the process of forming the panel mounting hole 135 through one side of the mounting panel 13. The side of the mounting panel 13 that forms the panel mounting hole 135 and the panel inlet 131 may be named the mounting plate 138. That is, the mounting plate 138 may form the front side of the housing 1.

[0220] For ease of explanation, the side of the mounting panel 13 that forms the panel inlet 131 and the panel mounting hole 135 will be named mounting plate 138 and described below.

[0221] On the other hand, the garment handling device may also include a coating film, which is fixed to the surface of the mounting panel 13 that protrudes to the outside of the housing 1. The coating film may be fixed to the outer side of the mounting plate 138. Additionally, the coating film F may be fixed to the surface of the flange 1351 facing the panel mounting hole 135.

[0222] Specifically, the panel mounting hole 135 can be formed through the mounting panel 13 on which the coating film F is fixed. Therefore, a portion of the mounting panel 13 can be rolled inward to form the flange 1351. At this time, the coating film F can also be rolled inward together with the flange 1351.

[0223] However, the coating film F is initially fixed to the planar mounting panel 13, and then fixed to the flange 1351 as the panel mounting hole 135 is formed. However, the flange 1351 is bent in the mounting plate 138. Therefore, as the shape of the fixing surface to which the coating film F is fixed changes, the coating film F may be peeled off. That is, during the formation of the panel mounting hole 135, the coating film F may peel off from the flange 1351.

[0224] Therefore, a garment processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a peel prevention part 1355 to prevent the coating film F from peeling off from the flange 1351.

[0225] Specifically, the flange 1351 may include a peel prevention portion 1355, which prevents the coating film F from peeling off from the flange 1351 during the formation of the panel mounting hole 135.

[0226] In particular, the panel mounting hole 135 may have a polygonal shape with arc-shaped corners. In this case, the panel mounting hole 135 may include straight sections m on each side. In addition, the panel mounting hole 135 may include chamfered sections n that arc-shapedly connect adjacent straight sections m.

[0227] For example, if the panel mounting hole 135 has a rectangular shape with rounded corners, the panel mounting hole 135 may include four straight portions m and four chamfered portions n.

[0228] The peel prevention portion 1355 may be provided on the flange 1351 located in the chamfered portion n. During the formation of the panel mounting hole 135, the density of the coating film F in the flange 1351 located in the chamfered portion n may become higher, thereby increasing the likelihood of peeling of the coating film F. Therefore, the peel prevention portion 1355 is provided in the chamfered portion n to prevent the coating film F from peeling off from the flange 1351.

[0229] As described above, the panel mounting hole 135 can be rectangular. When the panel mounting hole 135 is rectangular, the flange 1351 extending from the edge of the panel mounting hole 135 can also be rectangular. Furthermore, the coating film F fixed to the flange 1351 can also be arranged along the shape of the flange 1351. In this case, the density of the coating film F located at the corners of the rectangular flange 1351 increases sharply, thereby increasing the likelihood of peeling. A curved portion is formed at the corner of the flange 1351, allowing the coating film F to be peeled off.

[0230] Therefore, when the panel mounting hole 135 is formed in a rectangular shape, the peel prevention portion 1355 can be located at the corner portion of the rectangular panel mounting hole 135. In other words, the peel prevention portion 1355 can be located at the corner portion of the panel mounting hole 135 in the flange 1351.

[0231] As described above, since the coating film F is most likely to peel off at the corner of the panel mounting hole 135, the peel prevention part 1355 is provided at this part to prevent the coating film F from peeling off from the flange 1351.

[0232] The flange 1351 may include a support rib 1353, which is disposed on at least one side of the panel mounting hole 135 to support the window 91. The support rib 1353 can refer to the portion of the flange 1351 extending from the straight portion m. Specifically, the support rib 1353 can refer to the portions of the flange 1351 located on the lower and two sides of the panel mounting hole 135. That is, the flange 1351 located on three sides of a rectangular panel mounting hole 135, excluding the upper side, can be defined as a support rib 1353.

[0233] Additionally, the peel prevention portion 1355 may include a preventive rib 1356, which extends from the corner of the panel mounting hole 135 toward the roller 3. That is, the preventive rib 1356 may form part of the flange 1351. Specifically, the preventive rib 1356 may be configured to connect the support ribs 1353 located on each side of the rectangular panel mounting hole 135 to each other. In other words, support ribs 1353 may be provided on the rectangular sides of the rectangular flange 1351, and preventive ribs 1356 may be provided at the corners of the rectangle.

[0234] In other words, the support rib 1353 can be provided in the straight section m, and the anti-corrosion rib 1356 can be provided in the chamfered section n. The anti-corrosion rib 1356 can connect adjacent support ribs 1353.

[0235] On the other hand, typically, if the mounting panel 13 is penetrated to form the panel mounting hole 135, the surface through which the panel mounting hole 135 is penetrated, namely the mounting plate 138 and the flange 1351, forms an angle of about 90 degrees.

[0236] As the degree of bending of the corner portion of the flange 1351 at the mounting panel 13 increases, the density of the coating film F may increase. Consequently, the likelihood of the coating film F being peeled off may increase. Therefore, peeling of the coating film F can be prevented by adjusting the degree of bending of the anti-bending rib 1356 located at the corner of the flange 1351. That is, peeling of the coating film F can be prevented by adjusting the angle formed by the anti-bending rib 1356 and the mounting panel 13.

[0237] The anti-slip rib 1356 can be configured to be inclined to the side of the mounting panel 13 that forms the panel mounting hole 135. That is, the anti-slip rib 1356 can be configured to be inclined to the mounting plate 138. In other words, the anti-slip rib 1356 can be inclined to the mounting plate 138 rather than orthogonal to it.

[0238] The anti-reverse rib 1356 can be configured to form a first angle s1 with the side of the mounting panel 13 that forms the panel mounting hole 135. Additionally, the support rib 1353 can be configured to form a second angle s2 with the side of the mounting panel 13 that forms the panel mounting hole 135. The first angle s1 can be greater than the second angle s2.

[0239] In other words, as described above, the anti-reverse rib 1356 can form a first angle s1 with the mounting plate 138, and the support rib 1353 can form a second angle with the mounting plate 138.

[0240] The first angle s1 and the second angle s2 can refer to the angles formed between the surface of the mounting plate 138 facing the roller 3 and the anti-reinforcement rib 1356 or the support rib 1353. That is, the first angle s1 and the second angle s2 can refer to the angles towards the interior of the housing.

[0241] The second angle s2 generally refers to an angle of about 90 degrees, and the first angle s1 can be greater than the second angle s2, so it can refer to an obtuse angle greater than 90 degrees. Preferably, the first angle s1 can be greater than or equal to 100 degrees and less than or equal to 120 degrees.

[0242] When manufactured as described above, the window 91 can be fully assembled into the panel mounting hole 135 and can prevent the coating film F from peeling off from the flange 1351.

[0243] On the other hand, the peel prevention part 1355 can prevent the coating film F from being peeled off by adjusting the length of the anti-peel rib 1356. In particular, as the length of the flange 1351 located at the corner portion of the panel mounting hole 135 increases, the density of the coating film F located at the corresponding portion increases, thereby increasing the likelihood that the coating film F may peel off from the flange 1351.

[0244] Therefore, the extension length a1 of the anti-restriction rib 1356 can be less than or equal to the extension length a2 of the support rib 1353. That is, both the anti-restriction rib 1356 and the support rib 1353 constitute part of the flange 1351 extending from the edge of the panel mounting hole 135. The extension length of the anti-restriction rib 1356 located at the corner of the rectangular panel mounting hole 135 is less than the extension length of the support rib 1353 located at the edge of the panel mounting hole 135, thereby preventing the coating film F from being peeled off near the corner.

[0245] In other words, the coating film F is also fixed to the anti-reinforcing rib 1356, and the coating film F can be prevented from being peeled off by shortening the length of the anti-reinforcing rib 1356.

[0246] Additionally, the portion of the support rib 1353 that supports the lower side of the window near the panel inlet 131 can be defined as a connecting rib 1354. Furthermore, the support rib 1353 located at the straight portion m near the panel inlet 131 can be defined as a connecting rib 1354. The connecting rib 1354 can form a part of the support rib 1353, and the extension length a1 of the anti-reverse rib 1356 can be less than the extension length a2 of the connecting rib 1354.

[0247] Similarly, the anti-reverse ribs 1356 located at the corners of the rectangle are shorter than the connecting ribs 1354 located on the sides, thereby more effectively preventing the coating film F from being peeled off.

[0248] On the other hand, the peel prevention portion 1355 may include a cut portion 1357 that shortens the length of the flange 1351. In particular, the cut portion 1357 may be provided in the flange 1351 at the corner of the panel mounting hole 135. That is, the cut portion 1357 may be provided in the flange 1351 located at the chamfered portion n.

[0249] In other words, the cut-out portion 1357 can shorten the length of the flange 1351 located at the corner of the flange 1351 extending along the edge of the rectangular panel mounting hole 135.

[0250] As described above, since the coating film F is at a high risk of being peeled off at the corner of the flange 1351, the cut portion 1357 can shorten the length of the flange 1351 at the corner, thereby preventing the coating film F from being peeled off.

[0251] Specifically, the cut portion 1357 can be bent away from the substrate support portion 94 at one end of the flange 1351 opposite to the substrate support portion 94. That is, the cut portion 1357 can refer to the bent portion at one end of the flange 1351.

[0252] The cut portion 1357 can bend a portion of the flange 1351, thereby shortening the extension length of the flange 1351. That is, the cut portion 1357 can shorten the extension length of the portion of the flange 1351 located at the corner of the panel mounting hole 135.

[0253] Considering all the above, the peel prevention portion 1355 can be one of the anti-peeling rib 1356 and the cutting portion 1357. The anti-peeling rib 1356 can shorten the length of the flange 1351 located at the corner of the panel mounting hole 135 by adjusting the length of the anti-peeling rib 1356 itself. On the other hand, the cutting portion 1357 removes a portion of the flange 1351, thereby shortening the length of the flange 1351 located at the corner of the panel mounting hole 135.

[0254] That is, even if the anti-peeling rib 1356 and the cutting portion 1357 are provided independently, the result can be the same effect of shortening the length of the flange 1351. In other words, the peeling prevention portion 1355 can be one of the anti-peeling rib 1356 and the cutting portion 1357.

[0255] On the other hand, refer to Figure 11 The reason for forming the peel prevention part 1355 in the panel mounting hole 135 can be deduced from the relationship between the other through holes 133 formed in the housing 1.

[0256] As described above, the housing 1 may include a drawer opening 133 extending through the mounting panel 13. (See reference...) Figure 11 The drawer opening 133 may be spaced apart from the panel mounting hole 135. The drawer opening 133 may have a larger area than the panel mounting hole 135.

[0257] Both the drawer inlet 133 and the panel mounting hole 135 can be rectangular in shape. When forming a rectangular through-hole, the corners can be rounded. As the radius of the corners decreases, the rectangular shape becomes more pronounced. This improves the aesthetics of the garment handling device. In other words, from an aesthetic perspective, reducing the radius of the corners is preferable when forming a rectangular through-hole.

[0258] However, the panel mounting hole 135 can have a smaller area than the drawer opening 133. In other words, the height h1 of the panel mounting hole can be smaller than the height h2 of the drawer opening. Therefore, in order to present the rectangular shape of the panel mounting hole 135, the corner radius c1 of the panel mounting hole 135 is preferably smaller than the corner radius c2 of the drawer opening.

[0259] The density of the coating film F increases as the radius of the corner decreases, so the coating film F may be more easily peeled off from the corner of the panel mounting hole 135. Therefore, a peel prevention part 1355 is provided in the panel mounting hole 135 to prevent the coating film F from being peeled off.

[0260] Furthermore, the radius of the corner portion of the through hole can be determined by dividing the width of the through hole by its height. That is, the radius of the corners used to form the rectangular shape of the through hole can be determined based on its aspect ratio.

[0261] The value w1 / h1, which is the width w1 divided by the height h1 of the panel mounting hole 135, can be greater than or equal to the value w2 / h2, which is the width w2 divided by the height h2 of the drawer opening 133.

[0262] As the value w / h (width divided by height) increases, the radius of the corners used to form the rectangular shape can be reduced. Therefore, as the value w / h decreases, the corner radius decreases, and the likelihood of the coating film F peeling off from the corner portions increases.

[0263] Therefore, the necessity to prevent the coating film F from being peeled off increases by providing a peel prevention portion 1355 at the corner portion of the panel mounting hole 135. Thus, a peel prevention portion 1355 can be provided in the panel mounting hole 135.

[0264] This specification shows an example of the peel prevention part 1355 being provided in the panel mounting hole 135, but it is not limited thereto. As needed, peel prevention parts may also be provided in other through holes formed in the mounting panel 13.

[0265] Figure 12 The state in which the substrate support is attached to the mounting panel 13 is shown. Figure 13An exploded perspective view of the mounting panel and the base plate support is shown.

[0266] Reference Figure 12 The substrate support 94 can be attached to the inner side of the mounting panel 13. When the window 91 is not installed, a portion of the substrate support 94 can be exposed through the panel mounting hole 135, while a portion can be covered by the mounting panel 13. The portion of the substrate support 94 covered by the mounting panel 13 is shown in dashed lines.

[0267] Reference Figure 12 and Figure 13 According to one embodiment of the present invention, the garment processing device 100 may include panel mounting portions 141 and 142, which are disposed on the mounting panel 13 and fixed with the substrate support portion 94. The panel mounting portions 141 and 142 can allow the substrate support portion 94 to be disposed inside the housing 1.

[0268] The panel mounting portions 141 and 142 can be integrally formed with the mounting panel 13. Furthermore, the substrate support portion 94 can be directly attached to the mounting panel 13 via the panel mounting portions 141 and 142. Therefore, the configuration of the operation display portion 9, such as the control circuit board 95 attached to the substrate support portion 94, can be integrated into the mounting panel 13 without the need for an additional cover. Thus, the internal space of the housing 1 can be utilized more effectively. Consequently, the capacity of the roller 3 can be further ensured within the same housing 1.

[0269] Specifically, the panel mounting portions 141 and 142 may include a first mounting portion 141 that fixes one side of the substrate support portion 94. Additionally, the substrate support portion 94 may include: a mounting body 941 that provides space for mounting the control circuit substrate 95; and a first connecting portion 943 that extends from one side of the mounting body 941 toward the first mounting portion 141 and connects to the first mounting portion 141.

[0270] That is, the first connecting portion 943 is connected to the first mounting portion 141, which allows the mounting body 941 to be disposed inside the housing 1. In addition, the first connecting portion 943 can also allow the control circuit board 95 mounted on the mounting body 941 to be disposed inside the housing 1.

[0271] More specifically, the first mounting portion 141 may include: an extension body 1411 extending from the top surface of the mounting panel 13 toward the mounting body 941; and an extension body through hole 1412 for the first connecting portion 943 to engage with. The extension body through hole 1412 is formed to pass through the extension body 1411, thereby forming a portion for the first connecting portion 943 to engage with.

[0272] The first mounting portion 141 can extend from the top surface of the mounting panel 13 and be integrally formed with the top surface of the mounting panel 13. That is, the first mounting portion 141 is integrally formed with the mounting panel 13, thereby improving the bonding force. In addition, the substrate support portion 94 can be supported more stably.

[0273] A portion of the top surface of the mounting panel 13 can be bent inward toward the interior of the housing 1 to form the first mounting portion 141. As described above, when the first mounting portion 141 is formed, a through hole can be formed on the top surface of the mounting panel 13 where the first mounting portion 141 is formed. However, the mounting panel 13 can form the appearance of the garment handling device 100, so the portion where the first mounting portion 141 is formed may be exposed to the outside.

[0274] With the space of the first mounting portion 141 exposed, there is a risk that foreign objects may flow into the interior of the housing 1 through the through hole. Additionally, aesthetics may be compromised. Therefore, a shielding portion 16 (see reference 141) can be incorporated into the upper part of the mounting panel 13. Figure 3 ).

[0275] The shielding portion 16 can be configured to cover the upper part of the mounting panel 13. The shielding portion 16 can prevent the first placement portion 141 from being exposed to the outside. Therefore, it is possible to prevent foreign objects from flowing in through the top surface of the mounting panel 13 where the first placement portion 141 is provided. In addition, by preventing various components from being exposed, the aesthetics can be improved.

[0276] Additionally, the first connecting portion 943 may include: a connecting body 9431 extending from the top surface of the mounting body 941 toward the top surface of the mounting panel 13; and a connecting body 9432 protruding from the connecting body 9431 toward the extending body 1411 and inserted into the through hole 1412 of the extending body.

[0277] The first connecting portion 943 includes the connecting body 9431 and the connecting body 9432, and can be connected to the first mounting portion 141. In particular, the connecting body 9431 and the connecting body 9432 are integrally disposed, so that the mounting body 941 can be supported on the first mounting portion 141.

[0278] Specifically, the through hole 1412 of the extension body may include: an insertion hole 1412a for insertion of the connecting body 9432; and a support hole 1412b, which communicates with the insertion hole 1412a and integrally forms a through hole with the insertion hole 1412a. That is, the support hole 1412b can be connected to the insertion hole 1412a.

[0279] That is, the through hole 1412 forming a through hole can be divided into the insertion hole 1412a and the support hole 1412b according to its position or function. In particular, the insertion hole 1412a can be formed to have an area for the connecting body 9432 to be inserted. In addition, the support hole 1412b can have an area smaller than that of the insertion hole 1412a.

[0280] Specifically, the insertion hole 1412a functions as a channel for inserting the connecting body 9432 when the first placement part 141 and the connecting body 9432 are separated. On the other hand, the support hole 1412b functions as a channel for moving the connecting body 9432 that has been inserted into the insertion hole 1412a.

[0281] On the other hand, the connecting body 9432 may include: a first body 9432a, which is spaced apart from the connecting body 9431 and opposite to the through hole 1412 of the extension body; a second body 9432b, which connects the first body 9432a and the connecting body 9431; and a third body 9432c, which connects the first body 9432a, the second body 9432b and the connecting body 9431.

[0282] Specifically, the first body 9432a, the second body 9432b, and the third body 9432c can be connected orthogonally to each other. The first body 9432a, the second body 9432b, and the third body 9432c can be integrally formed. With the first connecting portion 943 engaged with the first placement portion 141, the second body 9432b can be located in the support hole 1412b, and the third body can be located in the insertion hole 1412a.

[0283] The first body 9432a can restrict the forward and backward movement of the connecting body 9432. The forward and backward direction can refer to the direction of penetration of the extension body through hole 1412. Additionally, the second body 9432b can restrict the vertical movement of the connecting body 9432. Furthermore, the third body 9432c can restrict the width movement of the connecting body 9432. The width direction can refer to the direction from the insertion hole 1412a towards the support hole 1412b.

[0284] The process of the connecting body 9432 engaging with the through hole 1412 of the extension body is explained as follows: First, the connecting body 9432 can be inserted into the insertion hole 1412a. At this time, the second body 9432b and the third body 9432c can be located in the insertion hole 1412a. After the connecting body 9432 is inserted into the insertion hole 1412a, the connecting body 9432 can slide towards the support hole 1412b. If the connecting body 9432 slides towards the support hole 1412b, then the second body 9432b can be located in the support hole 1412b, and the third body 9432c can be located at the boundary between the support hole 1412b and the insertion hole 1412a. The lower side of the second body 9432b can be supported on the periphery of the support hole 1412b, which can support the connecting body 9431 and the substrate support 94 so that they are located inside the housing 1 and prevent them from falling due to gravity.

[0285] As described above, by utilizing the structural shapes of the first mounting portion 141 and the first connecting portion 943, the substrate support portion 94 can be accurately positioned inside the housing 1. This improves assemblability and reduces assembly costs. Furthermore, since the first mounting portion 141 is integrally formed with the mounting panel 13, structural stability is also improved.

[0286] Additionally, the communication module 97 can be attached to the side of the substrate support 94. The communication module 97, attached to the substrate support 94, can be located inside the housing 1.

[0287] Figure 14 The first mounting portion and the first connecting portion of an embodiment of the present invention are shown in enlarged view. Figure 15 A magnified view shows the first mounting portion and the first connecting portion according to another embodiment of the present invention. Figure 14 and Figure 15 In the illustrated embodiment, when there are multiple first placement portions and multiple first joining portions, it can be implemented in a single garment processing device.

[0288] Reference Figure 14 The first connecting portion 943 may further include a locking body 9433, which is disposed on the connecting body 9431 and connects the connecting body 9431 to the extension body 1411. The locking body 9433 is formed of an elastic material and may have a hook shape that can be attached to and detached from the extension body 1411.

[0289] The locking body 9433 can be disposed opposite to the third body 9432c. The locking body 9433 can be spaced apart from the connecting body 9432, thereby restricting the movement of the substrate support portion 94. In particular, the locking body 9433 can restrict the movement of the connecting body 9432.

[0290] Specifically, the locking body 9433 can restrict the width-direction movement of the connecting body 9432. As described above, the third body 9432c can restrict the movement of the connecting body 9432. In particular, the third body 9432c can restrict movement from the insertion hole 1412a toward the support hole 1412b. On the other hand, the locking body 9433 can restrict movement in a direction opposite to the direction of movement restricted by the third body 9432c. That is, the locking body 9433 can restrict movement from the support hole 1412b toward the insertion hole 1412a.

[0291] Therefore, the locking body 9433 can prevent the already slidably engaged coupling body 9432 from sliding from the support hole 1412b toward the insertion hole 1412a, thus preventing the engagement from being released. The locking body 9433 can utilize a hook engagement to restrict the movement of the coupling body 9432, thereby more securely fixing the substrate support 94 without the need for additional coupling components. Therefore, it has the effect of improving the assemblability of the garment handling device and reducing assembly costs.

[0292] On the other hand, refer to Figure 15 The first mounting portion 141 may further include an extension body fastening hole 1413 that passes through the extension body 1411. Additionally, the first connecting portion 943 may include a connecting body fastening hole 9434 that passes through the connecting body 9431 and communicates with the extension body fastening hole 1413.

[0293] The extension body fastening hole 1413 can be spaced apart from the extension body through hole 1412. In particular, the extension body fastening hole 1413 can be spaced apart from the extension body through hole 1412 in the direction of sliding engagement with the connecting body 9432.

[0294] Furthermore, the connecting body fastening hole 9434 can be separated from the connecting body 9432. The extension body fastening hole 1413 and the connecting body fastening hole 9434 can be joined by fastening members (not shown) that simultaneously pass through both. The connecting member (not shown) can be formed by a nut and bolt combination. It is not limited to this; various joining methods can be used.

[0295] With the extension body fastening hole 1413 and the connecting body fastening hole 9434 securely fixed by the connecting member (not shown), the connecting body 9432 can be prevented from sliding again from the support hole 1412b toward the insertion hole 1412a. This allows for a more secure fixation of the first mounting portion 141 and the first connecting portion 943. Therefore, this improves the stability of the garment handling device 100.

[0296] On the other hand, the extension body 1411 can be formed by bending a portion of the top surface of the mounting panel 13 parallel to the mounting plate 138. That is, the first mounting portion 141 can be formed by bending a portion of the top surface of the mounting panel 13 inward toward the inside of the housing. When the first mounting portion 141 is formed as described above, the mounting panel 13 and the first mounting portion 141 are integrally formed, thus further improving the structural reliability of the first mounting portion 141.

[0297] Furthermore, there may be a plurality of first mounting portions 141. Specifically, the plurality of first mounting portions 141 may be arranged spaced apart from each other. Additionally, there may also be a plurality of first connecting portions 943. The number of first connecting portions 943 may correspond to the number of first mounting portions 141.

[0298] When there are multiple first coupling portions 943, one first coupling portion 943 may include the locking body 9433, and another first coupling portion 943 may include a connecting body fastening hole 9434. Correspondingly, the first placement portion 141 may have an extension body fastening hole 1413 corresponding to the number of connecting body fastening holes 9434.

[0299] The locking body 9433 improves assemblability, and the connecting body fastening hole 9434 improves structural stability. Therefore, by simultaneously providing the locking body 9433 and the connecting body fastening hole 9434, both assemblability and structural stability can be improved.

[0300] On the other hand, refer to again Figure 12 and Figure 13 The panel mounting portion 14 may include a first mounting portion 141 for engaging one side of the substrate support portion 94 and a second mounting portion 142 for engaging the other side of the substrate support portion 94. Additionally, the substrate support portion 94 may include a first engaging portion 943 disposed on one side of the mounting body 941 and a second engaging portion 944 disposed on the other side of the mounting body.

[0301] in addition, Figure 16A magnified view shows the state in which the second connecting portion is engaged with the second mounting portion. Please refer to the following description. Figure 12 , Figure 13 as well as Figure 16 .

[0302] The second connecting portion 944 is connected to the second mounting portion 142, allowing the mounting body 941 to be disposed inside the housing 1. In particular, the second connecting portion 944 can be located between the window 91 and the control circuit board 95.

[0303] The second mounting portion 142 can extend from the connecting rib 1354 supporting the lower surface of the window 91 toward the mounting body 941. In particular, the second mounting portion 142 can extend from the connecting rib 1354 toward the second mounting portion 944.

[0304] Specifically, the second mounting portion 142 may include: a first rib 1421, spaced apart from the connecting rib 1354; and a second rib 1422, connecting the connecting rib 1354 and the first rib 1421. The first rib 1421 and the second rib 1422 may be orthogonal to each other. Thus, a space for mounting the second mounting portion 944 can be formed between the connecting rib 1354, the first rib 1421, and the second rib 1422.

[0305] The second joint 944 may include: a locking rib 9441 disposed on the lower side of the mounting body 941, located between the first rib 1421 and the connecting rib 1354; and a locking protrusion 9442 protruding from the locking rib 9441 and contacting the first rib 1421. The locking rib 9441 may be located in the space formed between the connecting rib 1354, the first rib 1421, and the second rib 1422.

[0306] The locking rib 9441 can be slidably engaged with the second mounting portion 142. In particular, the locking rib 9441 can be slidably engaged with the second rib 1422 from the open portion of the hook shape formed by the connecting rib 1354, the first rib 1421, and the second rib 1422.

[0307] If the locking rib 9441 is slidably engaged with the second mounting portion 142, the engaging rib 1354 can restrict the locking rib 9441 from moving toward the window. Additionally, the first rib 1421 can restrict the locking rib 9441 from moving away from the window.

[0308] Furthermore, the second connecting portion 944 may include a locking protrusion 9442 protruding from the locking rib 9441. The locking protrusion 9442 can contact the first rib 1421 when the second connecting portion 944 is engaged with the second placement portion 142. In particular, the locking protrusion 9442 can be located on the upper part of the first rib 1421. The downward movement of the locking protrusion 9442 can be restricted by the first rib 1421. Therefore, the downward movement of the locking rib 9441 connected to the locking protrusion 9442 can also be restricted. That is, the locking protrusion 9442 contacts the first rib 1421, thereby restricting the base plate support portion 94 from moving downward due to gravity.

[0309] Due to the structure of the second mounting portion 142 and the second connecting portion 944 described above, the second connecting portion 944 can prevent the substrate support portion 94 from disengaging from its connecting position inside the housing 1 without the need for external connecting members. Therefore, it has the effect of improving the assemblability and structural stability of the garment handling device.

[0310] Additionally, the locking protrusion 9442 may also include a guide surface 9442a disposed on the side opposite to the first rib 1421. The guide surface 9442a may be inclined upward toward the second rib 1422. In the state before the second engaging portion 944 is slidably engaged with the second placement portion 142, the guide surface 9442a may guide the locking protrusion 9442 to be aligned to an accurate position.

[0311] Specifically, if the locking protrusion 9442 slides toward the engagement position while the guide surface 9442a is in contact with the free end of the first rib 1421, the locking protrusion 9442 naturally moves to the upper part of the first rib 1421 along the guide surface 9442a. Therefore, the assemblability of engaging the second engagement portion 944 with the second placement portion 142 is improved. That is, the guide surface 9442a has the effect of saving assembly costs by shortening the assembly time of the second engagement portion 944.

[0312] On the other hand, when the first connecting portion 943 is slidably connected to the first placement portion 141, the second connecting portion 944 can also be slidably connected to the second placement portion at the same time. The first connecting portion 943 and the second connecting portion 944 are arranged at positions corresponding to the first placement portion 141 and the second placement portion 142, respectively, thereby improving the assemblability of the substrate support portion 94.

[0313] The process of attaching the substrate support 94 to the panel mounting portion 14 is described below. First, the connecting body 9432 is inserted into the insertion hole 1412a. At this time, the locking rib 9441 is located at a position spaced apart from the second mounting portion 142. Then, if the connecting body 9432 is slid toward the support hole 1412b, the locking body 9433 is locked onto one side of the extension body 1411. Furthermore, the connecting body fastening hole 9434 is arranged to communicate with the extension body fastening hole 1413. In addition, if the connecting body 9432 is slid toward the support hole 1412b, the locking rib 9441 is also located between the connecting rib 1354 and the first rib 1421. Furthermore, the locking protrusion 9442 contacts the upper part of the first rib 1421. Through the above process, the substrate support 94 can be firmly fixed to the panel mounting portions 141 and 142. Therefore, the control circuit board 95 and the information output unit 92, which are supported by the substrate support 94, can be arranged in precise positions inside the housing 1. That is, the overall stability of the garment handling device can be ensured.

[0314] Figure 17 These are perspective and cross-sectional views showing the state of the touch film integrated with the window.

[0315] In one embodiment of the present invention, the clothing handling apparatus 100 can be configured such that a user inputs a control command by touching the window 91. In this case, a touch film 93 can be fixed to the window 91. Specifically, the touch film 93 can be fixed to the side opposite to the surface exposed to the outside of the housing 1. The touch film 93 can be connected to the control circuit board 95. If the user touches the window 91 exposed to the outside of the housing 1, an electrostatic signal is generated, and the touch film 93 can sense the electrostatic signal. The sensed electrostatic signal is transmitted to the control circuit board 95, which can sense the control input based on the position of the user's touch.

[0316] The window 91 is made of a non-conductive material, while the touch film 93 can be made of a conductive material. The window 91, which can be made of a non-conductive material, has a preset thickness. The preset thickness refers to the thickness at which a touch signal input on one side can be recognized by the touch film 93 fixed on the other side.

[0317] More specifically, the touch film 93 may include: a film sensor 931, fixed to the window body 911, for sensing whether the user's body is in contact with the window body 911; and a film wire 932, connecting the film sensor 931 and the control circuit board 95.

[0318] In particular, the membrane sensor 931 can be fixed in the window body 911 on the surface facing the control circuit board 95. As described above, the membrane sensor 931 can be made in the shape of a thin film. Furthermore, the membrane sensor 931 can be formed of a flexible material.

[0319] Additionally, the membrane wire 932 can extend from one side of the membrane sensor 931 and connect to the control circuit board 95. Similar to the membrane sensor 931, the membrane wire 932 can also be made of a flexible material. Therefore, the membrane wire 932 can be connected to the control circuit board 95 via or bypassing a structure located between the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit board 95.

[0320] On the other hand, the membrane sensor 931 and membrane wire 932, being made of conductive material, can transmit electrostatic signals generated by the user's body to the control circuit board 95. Therefore, when the membrane sensor 931 or membrane wire 932 comes into contact with the mounting panel 13, which is made of a metallic material, the electrical signal may be interfered with. That is, if the membrane wire 932 comes into contact with the mounting panel 13 along its path to the control circuit board 95, the control circuit board 95 may fail to accurately sense the user's touch input.

[0321] To address the problems described above, the window 91 may include a window guide 916 to prevent the membrane guide wire 932 from contacting the mounting panel 13.

[0322] The window guide 916 can protrude from the window body 911 toward the control circuit board 95. Specifically, the window guide 916 can be located between the membrane conductor 932 and the mounting panel 13. The membrane conductor 932 contacts the window guide 916, thereby extending in a direction away from the mounting panel 13.

[0323] The window guide 916 is preferably made of a non-conductive material to prevent the membrane conductor 932 from contacting a conductive material and interfering with the electrical signal. The accompanying drawings show the window guide 916 located on the lower side of the window body 911, with the membrane conductor 932 positioned on the upper surface of the window guide 916. However, this is not a limitation; the window guide 916 can be configured in various positions to prevent contact between the membrane conductor 932 and the mounting panel 13.

[0324] The connecting rib 1354 can support the window body 911. The connecting rib 1354 can form part of the mounting panel 13, therefore, electrical signals may be interfered with if the membrane conductor 932 comes into contact with the connecting rib 1354. Therefore, the window guide 916 overlaps with the connecting rib 1354 in the height direction, thereby preventing the membrane conductor 932 from contacting the connecting rib 1354. In particular, the window guide 916 is disposed between the membrane conductor 932 and the connecting rib 1354, thereby preventing the membrane conductor 932 from contacting the connecting rib 1354.

[0325] On the other hand, as described above, the window 91 may also include a window coupling portion 915 for fixing the window body 911. The window coupling portion 915 can fix the window body 911 so that the window body 911 is disposed in the panel mounting hole 135.

[0326] The window coupling portion 915 can extend from the window body 911 toward the control circuit board 95. The window coupling portion 915 can extend parallel to the window guide 916.

[0327] Figure 18 The process of attaching the window 91 to the mounting panel 13 is shown.

[0328] Reference Figure 17 and Figure 18 As described above, during the process of installing the window 91 onto the mounting panel 13, the upper side of the window 91 can be inserted into the mounting hole of the panel first, and the lower side of the window 91 can be rotated with the upper side of the window 91 as the rotation center.

[0329] Specifically, refer to Figure 9 In the window 91, the window body 911 may include an outer extension 912 and an inner extension 913. Furthermore, the inner extension 913 may extend upwards from the upper side of the window body 911. Additionally, the window guide 916 may be disposed on the lower side of the window body 911.

[0330] Furthermore, during the assembly of the window 91, the inner extension 913 can be positioned inside the housing 1, and the window body can be rotated around the inner extension 913 as a rotation center. When the window 91 is assembled as described above, it can be attached to the mounting panel 13 without additional fastening components. The position of the inner extension 913 can be used to align the assembly positions, thus improving assemblability and reducing assembly costs.

[0331] During the assembly of the window 91 as described above, the window guide 916 located on the lower side of the window body 911 interferes with the connecting rib 1354, thereby damaging the window guide 916 or causing cracks to appear in the connecting rib 1354.

[0332] To prevent the aforementioned problems, the extension length p2 of the window guide can be less than or equal to the extension length p1 of the window joint. When the window guide 916 is provided as described above, it has the effect of preventing damage to the window guide 916 or the connecting rib 1354.

[0333] Furthermore, the free end of the window guide 916 may be further away from the control circuit board 95 than the free end of the connecting rib 1354. If the window guide 916 is closer to the control circuit board 95 than the connecting rib 1354, the window guide 916 may be damaged during the assembly of the window 91. Therefore, as described above, this problem can be prevented by adjusting the extension length of the window guide 916.

[0334] However, not limited to the above examples, if there is no risk of damage to the window guide 916 during the assembly of the window 91, the free end of the window guide 916 may be closer to the control circuit board 95 than the free end of the connecting rib 1354.

[0335] The window guide 916 may have a thin plate shape. Therefore, when the window guide 916 is in contact with the connecting rib 1354, even if the membrane conductor 932 is separated from the connecting rib 1354, it may still be subject to current signal interference. To prevent the situation described above, the window guide 916 may be separated from the connecting rib 1354 by a predetermined distance.

[0336] When the window guide 916 is separated from the connecting rib 1354, during the process of installing the window 91 onto the mounting panel 13, it has the effect of further preventing damage to the window guide 916, improving the assemblability of the window 91, and preventing interference with the electrical signals transmitted to the membrane conductor 932.

[0337] Reference Figure 18 During the installation of the window 91, the free end of the window guide 916 approaches the connecting rib 1354, and then moves away from the connecting rib 1354 again after passing through a specific part.

[0338] To improve the assemblability of the window 91 and prevent damage to components, the window guide 916 preferably does not come into contact with the connecting rib 1354 during assembly.

[0339] Please refer to the following: Figure 17 and Figure 18 The side of the window guide 916 opposite to the connecting rib 1354 can extend upward from the window body 911 toward the control circuit board 95 at an angle.

[0340] The side of the window guide 916 opposite to the connecting rib 1354 can form a predetermined angle e1 with the connecting rib 1354. This side can be tilted upward from the window body 911 toward the control circuit board 95, thereby preventing the window guide 916 from contacting the connecting rib during the assembly of the window 91.

[0341] On the other hand, the spacing between the window guide 916 and the connecting rib 1354 can increase as it moves away from the window body 911. The spacing k1 between the window guide 916 and the connecting rib 1354 located closer to the window body 911 can be smaller than the spacing k2 between the window guide 916 and the connecting rib 1354 located farther from the window body 911. The increasing spacing k1 and k2 as it moves away from the window body prevents the window guide 916 from contacting the connecting rib 1354 during the installation of the window 91.

[0342] Figure 19 A substrate support portion according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. In particular, a wire passage portion provided in the substrate support portion is shown in detail.

[0343] Figure 20 A cross-section of a membrane conductor connected to a control circuit board via a conductor passage portion according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0344] Reference Figure 6 A substrate support portion 94 is disposed between the control circuit substrate 95 and the membrane sensor 931. Therefore, in order for the membrane wire 932 to connect the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit substrate 95, the membrane wire 932 needs to bypass or pass through the substrate support portion 94.

[0345] When the membrane conductor 932 bypasses the substrate support portion 94, the membrane conductor 932 may extend along the outer surface of the substrate support portion 94. This may increase the length of the membrane conductor 932, potentially causing it to contact the mounting panel 13. With the increased length of the membrane conductor 932 or its contact with the mounting panel 13, the reliability of the electrical signals transmitted through the membrane conductor 932 may decrease.

[0346] Furthermore, as the membrane conductor 932 passes around the substrate support 94, it may rub against or interfere with the joint between the substrate support 94 and the mounting panel 13. This poses a risk of the membrane conductor 932 cracking or being damaged.

[0347] Therefore, when the membrane wire 932 connects the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit substrate 95, if it bypasses the substrate support 94, the reliability and durability of the membrane wire 932 may be reduced.

[0348] That is, the membrane wire 932 is configured to connect the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit substrate 95 through the substrate support 94, which is preferred in terms of the reliability and durability of the membrane wire 932.

[0349] In accordance with the above requirements, the substrate support portion 94 of one embodiment of the present invention may further include a wire passage portion 945 through which the membrane wire 932 passes. The wire passage portion 945 may pass through the mounting body 941. The mounting body 941 may pass through the mounting body 941, and the membrane wire 932 may be connected to the control circuit substrate 95 through the wire passage portion 945.

[0350] With the wire passage portion 945 present, the membrane wire 932 can bypass the substrate support portion 94 in order to connect the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit board 95. Therefore, this improves the reliability and durability of the membrane wire 932.

[0351] Specifically, the wire passage portion 945 may include a wire through hole 9451 that passes through the mounting body 941.

[0352] Specifically, the wire via 9451 may pass through the mounting body 941 in a manner spaced apart from the light-emitting component insertion hole 947. Furthermore, the wire via 9451 may be closer to the membrane wire 932 than the light-emitting component insertion hole 947. Additionally, the wire via 9451 may be located below the light-emitting component insertion hole 947. The wire via 9451 may have a larger area than the light-emitting component insertion hole 947.

[0353] That is, the wire through-hole 9451 can pass through the mounting body 941 separately from the light-emitting component insertion hole 947. Furthermore, the wire through-hole 9451 is close to the membrane wire 932, thereby preventing unnecessary elongation of the membrane wire 932. Additionally, the wire through-hole 9451 has an area suitable for inserting the membrane wire 932.

[0354] Additionally, the wire passage portion 945 may include a wire protrusion 9452 located around the periphery of the wire through hole 9451, thereby defining the position of the membrane wire 932.

[0355] The membrane wire 932 can connect the membrane sensor 931 and the control circuit board 95 through the wire through hole 9451, without bypassing the mounting body 941 but passing through the mounting body 941.

[0356] The wire protrusion 9452 can protrude from the periphery of the wire through-hole 9451 toward the membrane wire 932. The membrane wire 932 contacts the wire protrusion 9452, thereby allowing its position to be determined.

[0357] The wire protrusion 9452 supports the membrane wire 932, ensuring that the membrane wire 932 is aligned in the correct position within the wire through-hole 9451 without movement. If the membrane wire 932 moves within the wire through-hole 9451, it may come into contact with other components, potentially reducing reliability and durability. By restricting the movement of the membrane wire 932 within the wire through-hole 9451, the wire protrusion 9452 improves the reliability and durability of the membrane wire 932.

[0358] Additionally, the wire protrusion 9452 may include: a distance maintaining protrusion 9453 for supporting the membrane wire 932; and a guiding protrusion 9454 for guiding the membrane wire 932 into the wire via 9451.

[0359] The distance-maintaining protrusion 9453 can protrude toward the membrane wire 932 from one side of the periphery of the wire through-hole 9451. Additionally, the guide protrusion 9454 can protrude toward the membrane wire 932 from the other side of the periphery of the wire through-hole 9451.

[0360] The guide protrusion 9454 and the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 can be positioned opposite each other. In particular, the membrane wire 932 is inserted through the wire through-hole 9451 and can be located between the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 and the guide protrusion.

[0361] That is, one side of the membrane conductor 932 can be supported by the distance maintaining protrusion 9453, and the other side can be supported by the guide protrusion 9454. In other words, the membrane conductor 932 is supported on both sides by the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 and the guide protrusion 9454, and the position of the membrane conductor 932 can be determined inside the conductor via 9451.

[0362] More specifically, the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 can protrude upward from the lower side of the periphery of the wire via 9451, and the guide protrusion 9454 can protrude downward from the upper side of the periphery of the wire via 9451.

[0363] That is, the distance-maintaining protrusion 9453 supports the lower side of the membrane guide 932, thereby restricting the downward movement of the membrane guide 932. On the other hand, the guide protrusion 9454 supports the upper side of the membrane guide 932, thereby restricting the upward movement of the membrane guide 932.

[0364] When the membrane conductor 932 is near the lower side of the periphery of the conductor through-hole 9451, the membrane conductor 932 comes into contact with the mounting panel 13, which may cause interference to the electrical signal. Therefore, the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 can keep the membrane conductor 932 at a predetermined distance from the lower side of the periphery of the conductor through-hole 9451. This improves the reliability of the membrane conductor 932.

[0365] Furthermore, if the membrane conductor 932 is located near the upper side of the periphery of the wire via 9451, the membrane conductor 932 may interfere with the control circuit board 95 and cannot pass smoothly through the wire via 9451. Therefore, the guide protrusion 9454 can separate the membrane conductor 932 from the upper side of the periphery of the wire via 9451 by a predetermined distance. This facilitates the passage of the membrane conductor 932 through the wire via 9451, improves assemblability, and reduces assembly costs.

[0366] On the other hand, there may be a plurality of the guide protrusion 9454 and the distance maintaining protrusion 9453. Furthermore, the plurality of guide protrusions 9454 may be arranged spaced apart from each other along the periphery of the wire via 9451. Similarly, the plurality of distance maintaining protrusions 9453 may also be arranged spaced apart from each other along the periphery of the wire via 9451.

[0367] Specifically, the plurality of the distance-maintaining protrusions 9453 may be arranged spaced apart from each other in a direction orthogonal to the direction in which the membrane guide wire 932 is inserted. The plurality of the guiding protrusions 9454 may also be arranged spaced apart from each other in the same manner as the distance-maintaining protrusions 9453.

[0368] The distance-maintaining protrusion 9453 and the guide protrusion 9454 are multiple, thereby enabling a more secure positioning of the membrane conductor 932. Therefore, the durability and reliability of the membrane conductor 932 can be further improved.

[0369] Furthermore, the guide protrusion 9454 and the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 may not overlap in a direction that separates the plurality of guide protrusions 9454 from each other. In other words, the guide protrusion 9454 and the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 may be configured not to overlap along the width direction of the wire via 9451. Specifically, the sum of the protrusion height of the guide protrusion 9454 and the protrusion height of the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 may be less than the height of the wire via 9451.

[0370] When the guide protrusion 9454 and the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 overlap along the width direction of the wire via 9451, the membrane wire 932 may wrinkle between the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 and the guide protrusion 9454. This may reduce the reliability and durability of the membrane wire 932.

[0371] Therefore, it is preferable to prevent overlap along the width direction of the wire via 9451 by adjusting the protrusion height of the protrusion 9453 and the distance between the guide protrusion 9454.

[0372] Additionally, the guide protrusion 9454 can be configured to not overlap with the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 in the height direction. In other words, the guide protrusion 9454 and the distance maintaining protrusion 9453 can be arranged to intersect each other along the width direction of the wire via 9451.

[0373] If the guide protrusion 9454 and the distance-maintaining protrusion 9453 are arranged to overlap in the height direction, the path through which the membrane conductor 932 can pass may become narrow. Consequently, the assemblability of attaching the membrane conductor 932 to the conductor passage portion 945 may be reduced.

[0374] Therefore, the guide protrusion 9454 is configured not to overlap with the distance-maintaining protrusion 9453 in the height direction, thereby having the effect of improving the assemblability of the membrane wire 932.

[0375] On the other hand, the side of the guide protrusion 9454 that is opposite to the membrane wire 932 can be inclined. More specifically, when the guide protrusion 9454 is located on the upper side of the wire through hole 9451, one side of the guide protrusion 9454 can be inclined downward toward the control circuit board 95.

[0376] In addition, the protrusion height g2 of the portion of the guide protrusion 9454 near the control circuit board 95 can be greater than the protrusion height g1 of the portion away from the control circuit board 95.

[0377] In other words, the guide protrusion 9454 can limit the range of movement of the membrane wire 932 within the wire via 9451. The range of movement of the membrane wire 932 can be limited to a lesser extent in the portion away from the control circuit substrate 95, and the range of movement of the membrane wire 932 can be further limited as it approaches the control circuit substrate 95.

[0378] That is, the guide protrusion 9454 enables the membrane wire 932 to move over a wide area when it is initially inserted into the wire via 9451, thereby improving assemblability. On the other hand, as the membrane wire 932 is inserted into the wire via 9451 and approaches the control circuit board 95, the movement area of ​​the membrane wire 932 can be further restricted, thereby improving the structural stability and reliability of the membrane wire 932.

[0379] The process by which the membrane wire 932 is connected to the control circuit board 95 via the wire passage 945 is explained as follows: First, the membrane wire 932 can be inserted into the wire through-hole 9451. Then, the membrane wire 932 can contact the inclined surface of the guide protrusion 9454. If the membrane wire 932 is further inserted while in contact with the guide protrusion 9454, the membrane wire 932 can move naturally towards the roller 3 along the inclined surface. Then, if the free end of the membrane wire 932 completely passes through the wire through-hole 9451, the free end can be connected to the control circuit board 95.

[0380] If the membrane conductor 932 is connected to the control circuit board 95, one side of the membrane conductor 932 can contact the distance-maintaining protrusion 9453, and the other side can contact the guide protrusion 9454. Through a series of processes, the position of the membrane conductor 932 can be determined inside the conductor via 9451.

[0381] As described above, the guide protrusion 9454 can guide the membrane wire 932 through the wire through-hole 9451 without being jammed or obstructed by internal components during the insertion of the membrane wire 932. Therefore, it has the effect of improving assemblability.

[0382] On the other hand, the wire passage portion 945 can be opposite to the window guide 916. Furthermore, the membrane wire 932 can be connected to the control circuit board via the window guide 916 and the wire passage portion 945.

[0383] In other words, the window guide 916 can protrude from the side of the window body 911 opposite to the wire passage portion 945 toward the wire passage portion 945.

[0384] Specifically, the membrane wire 932 can extend from the membrane sensor 931 and can be guided along the window guide 916 to the wire through-hole 9451. In particular, the membrane wire 932 can be inserted into the wire through-hole 9451 with its lower surface supported by the window guide 916. The lower surface of the membrane wire 932 located in the wire through-hole 9451 can be supported by the distance-maintaining protrusion 9453. Therefore, the membrane wire 932 can be connected to the control circuit board 95 without excessive folding or bending.

[0385] like Figure 21 As shown, the interface P may include: a circuit board (first circuit board) 4, located inside the housing 1; an encoder 5, fixed to the circuit board, located inside the housing 1; an actuator 7, passing through the mounting panel 13 and connected to the encoder 5; and a display 8, passing through the mounting panel 13 and fixed to the encoder 5 or the first circuit board 4.

[0386] The first circuit board 4 is a board having control circuits required for the control (electric control, operation control) of at least one of the drive unit 32, the water supply valve 233, and the pump 252, and can be fixed to the mounting panel 13 or the panel support unit 12 by the housing 41.

[0387] The housing 41 may have any shape capable of fixing the first circuit board 4 to the mounting panel 13 or the panel support portion 12. Figure 21 An example is shown where the housing 41 has a hexahedral shape with one side (facing the panel support) open.

[0388] The housing 41 may be provided with a boss that sets the position of the first circuit board 4. Figure 21 An example is shown where the boss includes a first boss 411 and a second boss 412. In this case, the first circuit board 4 may have a substrate through hole 42 through which the first boss 411 passes and a boss insertion hole 43 through which the second boss 412 passes. The second boss 412 may be located in the left and right spaces of the first boss 411, or it may be located in the upper and lower spaces of the first boss 411.

[0389] The display unit 8 is connected to a wire 822, which may be a power line supplying power to the display unit or a communication line enabling the display unit 8 to communicate with devices inside the housing, including the first circuit board 4.

[0390] A first boss through hole 413 may be provided on the first boss 411, and a wire through hole 123 may be provided on the panel support portion 12 (see reference). Figure 4 In this case, the wire 822 is inserted into the first boss through hole 413 and the wire through hole 123, thereby extending into the interior of the housing 1.

[0391] The first circuit board 4 may also be provided with a first input section 46 and a second input section 47. The first input section 46 may be a device for inputting a control command requesting power to the garment handling device 100, and the second input section 47 may be a device for inputting a command requesting the execution of the control command displayed on the display section 8 or a command requesting the temporary interruption of the control command being executed in the garment handling device 100.

[0392] The first input unit 46 and the second input unit 47 sense the static electricity of the user's body, thereby generating a control signal.

[0393] The first input unit 46 may include: a first button 461 exposed to the outside of the housing 1; a first sensing sensor 464 fixed to the first circuit board 4; and a conductor 463 (first button conductor) connecting the first button and the first sensing sensor. Similarly, the second input unit 47 may include: a second button 471 exposed to the outside of the housing 1; a second sensing sensor 474 fixed to the first circuit board 4; and a conductor (not shown, second touch spring) connecting the second button and the second sensing sensor.

[0394] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting panel 13 is provided with a first button mounting part 136 and a second button mounting part 137. The first button 461 can be exposed to the outside of the housing 1 through the first button mounting part 136, and the second button 471 can be exposed to the outside of the housing 1 through the second button mounting part 137.

[0395] The first input unit 46 and the second input unit 47 can be separately arranged in the left and right spaces of the display unit 8, or separately arranged in the upper and lower spaces of the display unit, or arranged vertically or horizontally in one of the spaces in the left or right space of the display unit.

[0396] like Figure 21As shown, the first button conductor 463 and the second button conductor can be formed in the form of coils to provide restoring force to the first button 461 and the second button 471. Furthermore, a first stop 462 limiting the range of motion of the first button can be provided in the first input portion 46, and a second stop (not shown) limiting the range of motion of the second button can be provided in the second input portion 47, to prevent the first button 461 and the second button 471 from detaching from the button mounting portions 136 and 137, respectively.

[0397] The encoder 5 is a device that rotatably fixes the actuator 7 to the first circuit board 4, and is a device that generates an electrical signal when the actuator 7 rotates (or generates different set electrical signals according to the rotation angle of the actuator).

[0398] like Figure 22 As shown, the encoder 5 may include: a fixing part 51, fixed to the first circuit board 4, on which the display part 8 is fixed; a rotating part 52, rotatably disposed on the fixing part 51, on which the actuator 7 is fixed; and a signal generating part 54, which generates an electrical signal when the rotating part 52 rotates.

[0399] 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, the rotating part 52 being rotatably fixed to the supporting body 511; and a body through hole 514, penetrating the fixing body and the supporting body, and connected to the substrate through hole 42 (connected to the first boss through hole).

[0400] The fixing body 512 may be cylindrical. A substrate fastening portion 513 may 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 (see reference 4) may be provided on the first circuit board 4 for inserting the substrate fastening portion 513. Figure 21 ).

[0401] like Figure 21 As shown, the substrate fastening part 513 and the encoder fixing hole 44 are multiple, and the multiple encoder fixing holes 44 can be configured to surround the substrate through hole 42.

[0402] like Figure 22 As shown, the main body through hole 514 may have: a main body fixing part 531 for fixing the display part 8 to the fixing part 51; and a position setting groove 532 for preventing the display part 8 from rotating when the display part 8 is inserted into the main body through hole 514 (fixing the position of the display part).

[0403] The fastening body fixing portion 531 may have a protrusion protruding from at least one of the support body 511 and the fixing body 512 toward the center of the body through hole 514. The accompanying drawings show an example of the fastening body fixing portion 531 being provided on the support body 511.

[0404] The position setting groove 532 may be a groove in which one side of the fixing part 51 forming the main body through hole 514 is bent inward. In this case, the position setting groove 532 may be provided along the length direction of the main body through hole 514.

[0405] The rotating part 52 may have a rotating body 521 rotatably connected to the support body 511. The rotating body 521 shall be provided with a rotating body through hole through which the support body 511 passes.

[0406] The rotating body 521 may be provided with a shaft fastening part 522 for fastening the actuator 7. The shaft fastening part 522 may be a fastening hole that passes through the circumferential surface of the rotating body 521, or it may be a fastening groove that is recessed and bent on the circumferential surface of the rotating body 521.

[0407] 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 to sense magnetic force; and a terminal connecting the sensor and the first circuit board 4. The magnet may be arranged in a state in which a plurality of permanent magnets are spaced apart along the circumferential surface of the rotating body 521.

[0408] like Figure 23 As shown, the first circuit board 4 on 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 causing a short circuit. When the insulating material is coated on one side of the first circuit board 4 (the side facing the mounting panel), an encoder cover 6 may also be included at the interface P to prevent the rotating body 521 from being fixed to the support body 511 due to the insulating material.

[0409] The encoder cover 6 is fixed to the first circuit board 4 and may have a tubular shape 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 and surrounding the fixing body 512; and a cover through hole 62, which passes through the fixing body cover 61 for the encoder 5 to be inserted.

[0410] The fixed main cover 61 may be provided with a substrate fastening part 611, and the first circuit board 4 may be provided with an encoder cover fixing hole 45 for fixing the substrate fastening part 611. There may be a plurality of substrate fastening parts 611 and encoder cover fixing holes 45, and the plurality of encoder cover fixing holes 45 may surround the substrate fastening part 513.

[0411] To drain water that flows into the interior of the fixed body cover 61, a cover outlet 612 may be provided on the circumferential surface of the fixed body cover 61. Preferably, the cover outlet 612 is located at the lowermost end of the circumferential surface of the fixed body cover 61.

[0412] On the other hand, after the encoder 5 and encoder cover 6 are both bonded to the first circuit board 4, the aforementioned insulating material is applied to the first circuit board 4. The insulating material sprayed onto a portion 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, the distance L1 from the first circuit board to the uppermost point of the fixed body 512 is preferably 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.

[0413] The encoder cover 6 may further include a support body cover 63, which extends from the fixed body cover 61 and surrounds the rotating body 521 (surrounding the support body). The support body cover 63 can restrict the movement of the actuator 7 along the diametrical direction of the cover through hole 62, thus preventing the actuator 7 from separating from the rotating body 521.

[0414] like Figure 24 As shown, the actuator 7 may include: a shaft 71, which passes through the mounting panel 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.

[0415] The housing 1 may be provided with a panel through hole 134 that passes through the mounting panel 13 (see reference). Figure 3 The shaft 71 can be inserted into the through hole 134 of the panel.

[0416] like Figure 25As shown, the shaft 71 can be a tube with a shaft through hole 711 inside. A rotating body 521 disposed on the encoder is inserted into the shaft through hole 711, and 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.

[0417] The handle 73 is fixed to the shaft 71 in a manner located outside the housing 1, and the user can supply the force required for the rotation of the rotating body 521 to the shaft 71 through the handle 73.

[0418] 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 penetrating one side of the handle 73, so that the receiving space 731 communicates with the outside.

[0419] When the diameter of the handle 73 is set to be longer than the diameter of the shaft 71, a base 713 for fixing the handle 73 may also be provided on the shaft 71. The base 713 may be a disk fixed to the circumferential surface of the shaft 71.

[0420] 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.

[0421] like Figure 26 As shown, the base fastening part 734 may be fixed to a plurality of protrusions of the handle in a manner located inside the receiving space 731, and the handle fastening part 714 may be a groove provided in the base 713 to receive the protrusions.

[0422] To facilitate the connection between the handle 73 and the base 713, the handle 73 may be provided with a fastening guide 735 located between one base fastening portion 734 and another base fastening portion 734, and the base 713 may be provided with a guide groove 715 for the fastening guide 735 to be inserted. The guide groove 715 may be a groove formed by bending the circumferential surface of the base 713 toward the shaft through hole 711.

[0423] One of the handle 73 and the base 713 may also be provided with a handle outlet 74 to discharge water or foreign objects flowing into the handle 73 to the outside of the handle 73. Figure 26As shown, the depth D1 of the guide groove 715 (the length from the edge of the base to the bottom of the guide groove) can be set to be longer than the height D2 of the fastening guide 735 (the length from the handle to the free end of the fastening guide). In this case, the handle outlet 74 can be configured to form a space between the guide groove 715 and the fastening guide 735.

[0424] Figure 27 An example of a display unit 8 is shown, which may include: a cover 81 fixed to the fixing body 512 of the encoder and located inside the receiving space 731 of the actuator; a display 84 fixed to the cover and displaying information (information about the control and operation of the garment handling device); and a circuit board 82 (second circuit board, display unit circuit board) disposed on the cover and provided with circuitry for controlling the display 84.

[0425] The cover 81 may include: a fastening body 81b, which is inserted through the shaft through hole 711 into the body through hole 514, thereby being fixed 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.

[0426] The receiving body 81a can have any shape that can be inserted into the receiving space 731. Figure 19 An example is shown where the receiving body 81a has a cylindrical shape.

[0427] 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 communicates with the handle through hole). That is, the receiving body through hole 812 is provided in the space provided by the receiving body 81a on the surface facing the direction of the handle through hole 732.

[0428] The fastening body 81b can also be of any shape that can be inserted into the shaft through hole 711 and the encoder body through hole 514. Figure 28 An example is shown where the fastening body 81b has a cylindrical shape. The fastening body 81b is provided with a fastening body through hole 815 that connects to the mounting space 811.

[0429] A fixing body fastening part 816 may be provided on the circumferential surface of the fastening body 81b. The fixing body fastening part 816 is a device for fixing the cover 81 to the fastening body fixing part 531 provided on the encoder.

[0430] In addition, a plurality of position setting protrusions 817 may be provided on the circumferential surface of the fastening body 81b.

[0431] 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 located 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 devices that minimize the risk that the fixing body fastening part 816 cannot engage with the fixing body fixing part 531 when the fastening body 81b is inserted into the body through hole 514 (devices that ensure the engagement of the fixing body fastening part and the fixing body fixing part).

[0432] like Figure 27 As shown, the second circuit board 82 is inserted into the mounting space 811, and the wires 822 connected to the second circuit board 82 can be led out to the outside of the cover 81 through the fastening body through hole 815. A plurality of lamps 821 can be provided on the second circuit board 82.

[0433] The second circuit board 82 can control the display 84 to display preset information based on the electrical signal generated by the signal generating unit 54 when the handle 73 is rotated.

[0434] In order to maintain the spacing between the second circuit board 82 and the display 84 and to prevent damage to the lamp 821, a mounting portion 83 located between the display 84 and the second circuit board 82 may be provided in the mounting space 811.

[0435] The mounting portion 83 can be a mounting body 831 fixed to the receiving body 81a and located inside the mounting space 811. The mounting body 831 can have any shape that allows it to be inserted into the mounting space 811. Figure 27 An example is shown where the mounting body 831 has a generally cylindrical shape.

[0436] A mounting groove 832 for fixing the display 84 is provided on one side of the mounting body 831. A connector through hole 836 may be provided in the mounting groove 832. A connector 841 (flexible PCB, etc.) provided on the display 84 is inserted into the connector through hole 836, thereby connecting to the second circuit board 82.

[0437] The mounting body 831 may be provided with lamp through holes 835 for inserting the lamp 821. 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 to be located 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 to allow light emitted from the lamp 821 to be transmitted to the outside of the cover 81 through the lamp through holes 835.

[0438] The mounting part 83 is fixed to the cover 81 by a mounting body fastening part 813 provided on the receiving body 81a and a receiving body fastening part 833 provided on the mounting body 831. The mounting body fastening part 813 may be a plurality of protrusions located inside the mounting space 811, and the receiving body fastening part 833 may be 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) for fixing the mounting body fastening part 813.

[0439] The number of mounting body fastening parts 813 and the receiving body fastening parts 833 should be 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.

[0440] To improve the fastening force of the mounting body 831, the receiving body fastening part 833 may have an upper fastening part located at a position higher than the mounting groove 832 and a lower fastening part located at a position lower than the mounting groove 832. Unlike the accompanying drawings, the receiving body fastening part 833 may also be respectively located on the left and right sides of the mounting groove.

[0441] The housing 81a may also be provided with a cover 85 to prevent water and foreign matter from flowing into the display 84 and the second circuit board 82.

[0442] The cover 85 is preferably fixed to at least one of the receiving body 81a and the mounting body 831, closing the through hole 812 of the receiving body. The cover 85 should be formed of a material with a degree of transparency that allows external confirmation of the information displayed on the display 84 and the light emitted from the lamp 821.

[0443] When the cover 85 is fixed to the mounting body 831, the cover 85 may be provided with a cover fixing protrusion 851 protruding toward the mounting body 831, and the mounting body 831 may be provided with a fixing protrusion fastening part 834 for engaging with the cover fixing protrusion 851.

[0444] like Figure 28As shown, the second circuit board 82 can also be fixed to the mounting body 831. That is, the mounting part 83 can have a protrusion 838 protruding from the mounting body 831 toward the second circuit board 82, and the second circuit board 82 can be provided with a through hole 823 for the protrusion 838 to be inserted.

[0445] Furthermore, a cover plate 853 may be provided on the cover 85 to reduce the transparency of the cover. The transparency of the cover plate is preferably 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 area in the cover plate in which the lamp through hole 835 is projected may have text or the symbol H.

[0446] like Figure 27 As shown, the interface P may also have a selection unit 86, which receives control commands to select control commands displayed on the display 84.

[0447] The selection unit 86 senses whether the user's body is in contact with the cover 85, thereby determining whether to select the control command displayed on the display 84.

[0448] That is, the selection unit 86 may include: a sensor 863, disposed on the second circuit board 82, for sensing static electricity from the user's body; and conductors 861 and 862, connecting the sensor 863 and the cover 85. The conductors 861 and 862 may include: a first conductor 861, fixed to the cover 85; and a second conductor 862, one end connected to the first conductor 861 and the other end connected to the sensor 863. In this case, the mounting body 831 should be provided with a conductor through-hole 837 for the insertion of the second conductor 862.

[0449] The first conductor 861 is a device that facilitates the input of control commands by expanding the area accessible to the user. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the interface P with the above structure forms a display area R1 in the upper space of the cover 85 and an input area R2 in the lower space of the cover 85. Therefore, if the area of ​​the first conductor 861 is set wider, the area of ​​the input area R2 is enlarged, thus making it easier for the user to input control commands. The area of ​​the first conductor 861 is preferably set to less than 1 / 4 to 1 / 2 of the area of ​​the cover 85.

[0450] The interface P with the above structure can display control commands, retrieve displayed control commands, and select displayed control commands, minimizing the space required for installation. However, the interface P with the above structure requires a device to prevent water or foreign matter from flowing into the display unit 8 and actuator 7, or to discharge the flowing water or foreign matter to the outside.

[0451] like Figure 29 As shown, the actuator 7 may be provided with a device to discharge water or foreign objects flowing into the handle through hole 732 to the outside of the receiving space 731, and the display part 8 may be provided with a device to prevent water or foreign objects from flowing into the cover 81.

[0452] As previously described, the actuator 7 is capable of discharging water or foreign matter that has flowed into the receiving space 731 to the outside of the receiving space through the handle outlet 74 provided on the handle.

[0453] On the other hand, the display unit 8 may also include: a sealing part 75 (fastening body sealing part) to prevent foreign matter from flowing into the fastening body through hole 815; and a cover sealing part 852 to block the space between the cover 85 and the receiving body through hole 812.

[0454] The cover sealing portion 852 may have an adhesive substance that is sprayed along the edge of the cover 85 onto the receiving body 81a, filling the space between the cover 85 and the receiving body 81a, and fixing the cover 85 to the receiving body 81a.

[0455] The sealing part 75 can be configured to not only be inserted into the through hole 815 of the fastening body to fix the position of the wire 822, but also to prevent foreign substances such as water from flowing into the through hole 815 of the fastening body.

[0456] Figure 30 An example of the sealing part 75 is shown. Figure 30 The sealing part 75 may include: a sealing body 751, inserted into the fastening body through hole 815; a sealing body through hole 752, penetrating the sealing body 751 for the insertion of the wire 822; and cutting parts 753, 754, and 755, wherein the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 is cut open to connect the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 and the sealing body through hole 752.

[0457] The sealing body 751 can have any shape that allows it to be inserted into the through hole 815 of the fastening body. Figure 30 An example is shown where the sealing body 751 has a cylindrical shape.

[0458] The diameter of the sealing body 751 can be set to be longer than the diameter of the through hole 815 of the fastening body. In this case, the material of the sealing body 751 is preferably set to rubber or silicone with high elasticity, so that the through hole 815 of the fastening body can be sealed by interference fit.

[0459] The cut portion may include: a first cutting surface 753 extending from the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 toward the center of the through hole 752 of the sealing body; a second cutting surface 754 extending from the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 toward the center of the through hole 752 of the sealing body, 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 led out from the through hole 752 of the sealing body through the cutting groove 755.

[0460] The interval between the first cutting surface 753 and the second cutting surface 754 is preferably set to be the length of the cutting groove 755 when the sealing body 751 is inserted into the through hole 815 of the fastening body, and the two cutting surfaces 753 and 754 come into contact.

[0461] To further reliably prevent foreign matter from flowing into the space formed between the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 and the through hole 815 of the fastening body, a first contact protrusion 756 may also be provided on the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751.

[0462] The first contact protrusion 756 may be a strip-shaped protrusion extending along the circumferential surface of the sealing body 751 from the first cut surface 753 to the second cut surface 754. 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.

[0463] To prevent foreign matter from entering the cut groove 755, a second contact protrusion 757 may also be provided on the sealing body 751. The second contact protrusion 757 may protrude from at least one of the first cut surface 753 and the second cut surface 754 toward the other.

[0464] In addition, the second contact protrusion 757 can connect the first contact protrusion 756 and the sealing body through hole 752, or it can connect the portion 7561 located between the two first contact protrusions 756 and the sealing body through hole 752.

[0465] In addition, to prevent foreign matter from flowing into the space between the wire 822 and the through hole 752 of the sealing body, a third contact protrusion 758 may be provided in the through hole 752 of the sealing body. This is because even if the diameter of the through hole 752 of the sealing body (the diameter of the sealing body when inserted into the through hole of the fastening body) is set to be smaller than the diameter of the wire 822, the possibility of foreign matter flowing in through the through hole 752 of the sealing body cannot be ruled out.

[0466] The third contact protrusion 758 may have a band-shaped protrusion protruding from the surface of the sealing body 751 that forms the through hole 752 of the sealing body toward the center of the through hole 7552 of the sealing body. The third contact protrusion 758 may be configured to extend from the first cut surface 753 to the second cut surface 754 and connect to the second contact protrusion 757.

[0467] The following is for reference Figure 29 The assembly process of the interface P described above will be explained.

[0468] The first circuit board 4, with the encoder 5 and encoder cover 6 combined, is fixed to the housing 41. The surface of the first circuit board 4, fixed to the housing 41, is coated with an insulating material.

[0469] The housing 41 can also be fixed to the box 1 via the mounting panel 13, or via the panel support 12. When the housing 41 is fixed to the mounting panel 13, the housing 41 can be configured to be fixed to the mounting panel 13 via bolts that pass through the mounting panel 13 and are fixed to the second boss 412. The mounting panel 13 can be fixed to the panel support 12 via bolts or the like.

[0470] If, after the mounting panel 13 is fixed to the panel support 12, the shaft 71 of the actuator 7 is inserted into the panel through hole 134 provided on the mounting panel, then the shaft 71 is fixed to the rotating body 521 of the encoder, and the fastening body 81b of the display part is fixed to the support body 511 of the encoder.

[0471] That is, if the shaft 71 is inserted into the through hole 134 of the panel, the rotating body fastening part 712 provided on the shaft is 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 is 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 through the rotating body 521, and the display part 8 is fixed to the first circuit board 4 through the support body 511.

[0472] At this time, the wire 822, which is led out to the outside through the fastening body through hole 815, can be inserted into the interior of the housing 1 through the body through hole 514 of the encoder, the first boss through hole 413 of the housing, and the wire through hole 123 of the panel support.

[0473] The interface P with the above structure displays preset control commands on the display 84 whenever the user rotates the handle 73 (whenever the encoder generates an electrical signal) (control command retrieval and modification).

[0474] If the desired control command is displayed on the display 84, the user can select the displayed control command through the selection unit 86. The control command selected through the selection unit 86 can be activated when the user inputs an execution command through the second input unit 47.

[0475] On the other hand, since the handle 73 is rotatably attached to the first circuit board 4, and the display cover 81 is fixed to the first circuit board 4, it is necessary to maintain a constant gap between the handle 73 and the cover 81. This is because if the gap between the handle 73 and the cover 81 is not maintained, the rotation of the handle 73 may be restricted.

[0476] In order to maintain the gap between the handle 73 and the cover 81, a spacer may be provided on at least one of the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a and the receiving space 731 provided in the handle.

[0477] Figure 27 An example of the spacer is shown. Figure 27 The spacer 814 is characterized as a protrusion projecting from the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a toward the circumferential surface of the handle 73. The spacer 814 may be a plurality of protrusions equally spaced along the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a. Contrary to the accompanying drawings, the spacer may also be a protrusion projecting from the circumferential surface of the handle 73 toward the circumferential surface of the receiving body 81a.
