The accommodation space 420 may be formed such that a portion of the base portion 400 is sunken away from the top panel 300.

[0128] On the other hand, a portion of the base portion 400 may form a protruding surface 430 protruding toward the top panel 300. The base portion 400 may accommodate various structures on the protruding surface 430. That is, the base portion 400 may form a protruding surface 430 protruding downward to ensure space for accommodating various structures disposed inside the second box body 210.

[0129] For example, the second treatment device 200 may be configured to dry clothes, may be provided with an air circulation part 440 for supplying air to the inside of the second drum 220 to dry clothes, and may be provided with a fluid circulation part 450 for heating the air existing in the air circulation part 440.

[0130] In this case, at least a part of the air circulation part 440 and the fluid circulation part 450 may be arranged on the base part 400 inside the second housing 210, and at least a part of the air circulation part 440 and the fluid circulation part 450 may be arranged on the protruding surface 430. That is, the protruding surface 430 may protrude downward to form a space for arranging at least a part of the air circulation part 440 and the fluid circulation part 450 on the base part 400 inside the second housing 210.

[0131] on the other hand, Figure 8 FIG. 3 shows a top view of a top panel 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 8 The top panel 300 may include the guide surface 322 , the control surface 332 , the raised surface 342 , and the recessed surface 352 described above, and may include a leg seating portion 310 for seating the leg portion 410 of the base portion 400 .

[0132] The leg placement portion 310 can be arranged at each vertex area of ​​the top panel 300 to improve the effectiveness of load distribution. A guide surface 322 where the first guide rib 370 is located can be defined in a portion of the top panel 300, and a control surface 332 can be arranged in front of the guide surface 322, and the control surface 332 is located at a position that is more protruding than the guide surface 322.

[0133] The guide surface 322 may be located obliquely on one side, and the other side may be provided with the raised surface 342 of the raised portion 340. The raised portion 340 or the raised surface 342 may be provided in a form extending substantially in the front-rear direction.

[0134] A recessed surface 352 may be disposed behind the guide surface 322. In the recessed surface 352, a second recessed surface 354 may be disposed within the first recessed surface 353. A raised surface 342 extending in the front-rear direction may be disposed on one lateral side of the top panel 300, and the guide surface 322 and the recessed surface 352 may be located on the other lateral side.

[0135] on the other hand, Fig. 9 A bottom view of the base portion 400 is shown according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 In FIG. 1 , the positions corresponding to the guide surface 322 , the control surface 332 , the raised surface 342 , and the recessed surface 352 of the top panel 300 are indicated by dotted lines.

[0136] A second guide rib 470 may be disposed at a position in the base portion 400 corresponding to the guide surface 322 of the top panel 300. A space for accommodating the control surface 332 of the top panel 300 may be formed concavely in front of the second guide rib 470, and an accommodating space 420 for accommodating the ridge surface 342 may be formed concavely in an area corresponding to the ridge surface 342.

[0137] A convex surface 430 may be disposed behind the guide surface 322. The convex surface 430 may include a first convex surface 431 located in the first concave surface 353 of the top panel 300 and a second convex surface 432 located in the second concave surface 354 of the top panel 300.

[0138] However, the positions of the regions in the top panel 300 may be changed in various ways as needed. For example, the control surface 332 may be located behind the guide surface 322 or the recessed surface 352 may be located in front of the guide surface 322. The base portion 400 may be designed to correspond to the structure of the top panel 300.

[0139] on the other hand, Fig.10 4 shows a leg portion 410 disposed on the second box body 210 in one embodiment of the present invention. Fig.11 Shown for placement Fig.10 The leg placement portion 310 of the top panel 300 of the leg portion 410 is provided.

[0140] The top panel 300 may include a leg seating portion 310 that is sunken away from the second box body 210 and seats and supports the leg 410. The leg seating portion 310 may be formed such that a portion of the top panel 300 is sunken into the inside of the first box body 110. The leg seating portion 310 may have a groove shape sunken downward.

[0141] The leg seating portion 310 may have a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the leg portion 410. The cross-sectional area of ​​the leg seating portion 310 may be greater than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the leg portion 410. The leg portion 410 of the second housing 210 may be at least partially inserted into the leg seating portion 310 to be supported.

[0142] The second box 210 may be seated on the first box 110 , and the legs 410 may be received and supported in the leg seating portions 310 . That is, the second box 210 may be supported on the first box 110 by the legs 410 received in the leg seating portions 310 .

[0143] The shape of the leg portion 410 may be various shapes. Fig.10 The leg portion 410 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown to have a circular cross-section, but is not necessarily limited thereto, and the length of the leg portion 410 can be various lengths as required.

[0144] The leg portion 410 may extend downward from the second housing 210 . The leg portion 410 may be provided on at least one of the front panel 112 , the rear panel 119 , the side panel 115 , and the base portion 400 . Fig.10 The leg portion 410 is shown to be protruding downward from the base portion 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0145] A space open to the leg seating portion 310 may be formed inside the leg 410. That is, the leg 410 may be provided in a tubular or cylindrical shape to form a space inside. The space formed in the leg 410 may be open to the top panel 300. That is, the leg 410 may include a space open downward.

[0146] By including a space open downward in the leg 410, the molding process of the leg 410 can be improved, and the product performance of the leg 410 formed through the slimming effect can be improved. In addition, as described later, an additional leg 412 can be provided as needed, thereby realizing various uses of the leg 410.

[0147] On the other hand, as described above, the second housing 210 includes the base portion 400 defining the bottom surface of the second processing device 200 , and the leg portion 410 may extend downward from the base portion 400 .

[0148] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the legs 410 are provided on the base 400, and the second box 210 can be supported by the top panel 300 through the legs 410 provided on the base 400. The legs 410 can be integrally formed with the base 400, or can be manufactured separately and combined with the base 400.

[0149] The leg 410 may be provided in a hollow column shape, that is, the leg 410 may be provided in a tube shape or a cylindrical or polygonal column shape.

[0150] on the other hand, Fig.10 Additional leg 412 is conceptually shown in conjunction with leg 410. Fig.10 In one embodiment of the present invention, the leg portion 410 may be configured to be combined with an additional leg portion 412 that can be inserted into the space inside the leg portion 410 .

[0151] The additional leg 412 may be inserted into a space formed in the leg 410 and combined with the leg 410. The additional leg 412 may be further extended from the leg 410 and may have a shape that is conducive to being supported by the ground or the like.

[0152] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second processing device 200 can be placed above the first processing device 100 as a whole, but depending on the situation, the second processing device 200 can also be used independently. In this case, the second box 210 can be supported by the ground, etc. instead of the top panel 300 of the first box 110.

[0153] In one embodiment of the present invention, the leg 410 can be extended in length or have enhanced rigidity by combining with an additional leg 412, and can further increase the contact area with the ground so as to be easily supported by the ground.

[0154] In addition, considering the use alone, the second processing device 200 can be manufactured in a state where the additional leg 412 is combined with the leg 410. When used together with the first processing device 100, the stacking structure of the first processing device 100 and the second processing device 200 can be simply achieved by removing the additional leg 412.

[0155] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the leg 410 is configured to be hollow and is configured to be combined with the additional leg 412, so that it is easy to use the second processing device 200 alone as needed or to realize a stacked structure with the first processing device 100, thereby simplifying the manufacturing process to facilitate both single use and stacked use, which is advantageous.

[0156] On the other hand, the base portion 400 may include a leg reinforcement rib 414 extending away from the leg 410 along the radial direction of the leg 410. The leg reinforcement rib 414 may extend along the length direction of the leg 410 and may extend away from the leg 410.

[0157] When a space is formed inside the leg 410 in order to improve usability such as by combining an additional leg 412, the rigidity of the leg 410 may be reduced. An embodiment of the present invention can ensure that the leg 410 has sufficient rigidity to support the second box 210 by extending a leg reinforcement rib 414 from the leg 410.

[0158] The leg reinforcement ribs 414 may be provided in plural. For example, a plurality of leg reinforcement ribs 414 may be provided in any leg 410. The leg reinforcement ribs 414 may extend in the radial direction of the leg 410. The leg reinforcement ribs 414 may effectively improve the strength of the leg 410 by connecting the leg 410 with other parts at the base 400.

[0159] On the other hand, the top panel 300 may include a plurality of surfaces that are parallel to the ground but have different heights. Figure 5 An embodiment of the present invention may include a plurality of surfaces such as a guide surface 322 and a raised surface 342 that have different heights relative to the ground.

[0160] Various internal structures disposed inside the first box body 110 may be provided below the top panel 300, and the base portion 400 may be disposed above the top panel 300. That is, the top panel 300 may be designed to ensure a space for disposing various internal structures inside the first box body 110, and further consider the bottom surface shape of the base portion 400 so that the base portion 400 can be stably disposed.

[0161] For example, in the top panel 300 , the portion below which the internal structure of the first box body 110 is disposed may bulge upward to ensure the configuration space of the internal structure, and the portion for accommodating the downwardly protruding portion of the base portion 400 may be recessed downward to facilitate accommodating the base portion 400 .

[0162] In an embodiment of the present invention, the plurality of surfaces defined on the top panel 300 may be defined by height differences, etc. That is, when adjacent surfaces have different heights, the adjacent surfaces may be defined as different surfaces.

[0163] The surface of the top panel 300 can be formed to be substantially parallel to the ground, but can also be set to an inclined state as needed. In addition, the number and shape of the surfaces of the top panel 300 can be determined in various ways as needed.

[0164] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of surfaces having different heights from one another are formed on the top panel 300, thereby effectively ensuring a space for configuring the internal structure of the first box body 110 and effectively placing the base portion 400, which is advantageous in terms of space utilization and reducing the overall height of the clothing processing device 1.

[0165] On the other hand, Fig.11 As shown, the top panel 300 includes a first surface and a second surface having a height different from that of the first surface, and the leg placement portions 310 are provided in plural numbers, at least one of which can be formed on the boundary between the first surface and the second surface.

[0166] As described above, the top panel 300 may include various surfaces such as the guide surface 322 , the control surface 332 , the raised surface 342 , the recessed surface 352 , etc. The first surface and the second surface may be any one of various surfaces formed on the top panel 300 .

[0167] The first surface and the second surface may be adjacent surfaces to each other. That is, a boundary between the first surface and the second surface may be formed between the first surface and the second surface. That is, the boundary between the first surface and the second surface having different heights may correspond to a stepped portion having a height variation.

[0168] On the other hand, as described above, the heights of the first and second surfaces may be determined in consideration of the shape of the base 400 or the internal structure of the first housing 110. For example, the second surface may have a height higher than the first surface so that the internal structure of the first housing 110 may be disposed therebelow.

[0169] However, in addition to determining the height of the first surface and the second surface, the formation of the leg placement portion 310 for stably supporting the second box body 210 is also important. Therefore, even if the first surface and the second surface are formed with different heights from each other, the leg placement portion 310 can be formed across the boundary between the first surface and the second surface as needed.

[0170] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the first surface and the second surface are formed to effectively configure the internal structure or stably place the base portion 400, the change in the positions of the first surface and the second surface can be minimized, and the leg placement portion 310 is formed at a position corresponding to the leg 410 of the base portion 400.

[0171] In other words, in one embodiment of the present invention, the leg seating portion 310 is disposed at a position corresponding to the leg portion 410 of the base portion 400 , and even if the leg seating portion 310 is not necessarily avoided, the first surface and the second surface can be effectively disposed as needed.

[0172] Figure 5 and Fig.11 In the figure, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of leg portions 410 are formed on the top panel 300, and a first leg portion 410a formed at a boundary between a first surface and a second surface having different heights from each other is shown.

[0173] on the other hand, Fig.12 The cross section of the base portion 400 mounted on the top panel 300 in one embodiment of the present invention is shown when viewed from the side.

[0174] Reference Fig.11 and Fig.12 In one embodiment of the present invention, the leg placement portion 310 may include a leg placement surface 312, which supports the lower end of the leg portion 410 and has a height lower than that of the first surface and the second surface.

[0175] That is, the plurality of leg placement parts 310 disposed on the top panel 300 may have different recessed depths due to their positional differences, but the heights of the leg placement surfaces 312 supporting the leg parts 410 relative to the ground may all be the same.

[0176] Therefore, the first leg portion 410a and the second leg portion 410b formed at the boundary between the first surface and the second surface may have the same height as the leg placement surface 312, and the leg placement surface 312 may be located at a position lower than the first surface and the second surface. In other words, the leg portion 410 formed at the boundary between the first surface and the second surface may have a shape that is recessed to a depth lower than the first surface and the second surface.

[0177] Fig.11 It shows a state in which, as an embodiment of the present invention, the first surface is defined at the edge of the top panel 300, the second surface is defined as the above-mentioned control surface 332, and the first leg placement portion 310a in the leg placement portion 310 is formed on the boundary between the first surface and the second surface.

[0178] The second surface having a height higher than the first surface may have a shape in which a portion thereof is invaded by the leg seating portion 310. The second surface may have a boundary with the leg seating portion 310, and the leg seating portion 310 may have a position invading the inside of the second surface.

[0179] but, Fig.11 In the embodiment, the leg placement surface 312 of the first leg placement portion 310a has a lower height than the first surface, so the first surface may also have a boundary with the first leg placement portion 310a. The boundary between the first surface and the leg placement portion 310 and the boundary between the second surface and the leg placement portion 310 may together form the periphery of the leg placement portion 310.

[0180] On the second surface, the periphery of the leg seating portion 310 may form a boundary at the edge of the second surface in the form of a curve or a curved straight line. Fig.11 Although the boundary for the leg seating portion 310 is formed in the form of a part of a circumference on the second surface, the shape of the boundary is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0181] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, the height of the second surface is higher than that of the first surface, and the first processing device 100 may include an internal structure disposed inside the first box body 110 and at least a portion of which is located below the second surface.

[0182] In an embodiment of the present invention, the top panel 300 may include surfaces of various heights. As described above, a portion of the plurality of surfaces may have an increased height to ensure a configuration space for an internal structure disposed inside the first housing 110 .

[0183] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second surface is higher than the first surface, and any internal structure disposed inside the first box body 110 may be disposed below the second surface. At least a portion of the internal structure may be disposed in the space generated by the rise of the second surface.

[0184] For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first processing device 100 includes a driving part 130 for rotating the first drum 120, and the internal structure may correspond to at least a part of a first control part 140 that controls the driving part 130 and executes a laundry processing process.

[0185] In this case, the second surface may correspond to the above-mentioned control surface 332. That is, the first processing device 100 may include a first control unit 140, which is disposed inside the first housing 110 and controls the driving unit 130 for rotating the first drum 120 to perform the laundry processing process, and the top panel 300 may include a control surface 332, which is located at a higher position than the guide surface 322, and at least a part of the first control unit 140 is disposed below.

[0186] The control surface 332 may be located above the first control unit 140, which is used to receive a command signal from the control panel from the first housing 110 and control the driving unit 130. That is, the area defined as the control surface 332 in the top panel 300 is raised compared to its surrounding area, so that Figure 6 As shown, a space is formed below the control surface 332. When viewed from the inside of the first housing 110, the control surface 332 is formed to be raised, so that an additional space can be secured in the space of the first housing 110.

[0187] Figure 4 The first control unit 140 is conceptually shown as being disposed below the control surface 332. The first control unit 140 is located below the control surface 332, and at least a portion of the first control unit 140 may be disposed in a space formed by the height increase of the control surface 332.

[0188] The shape of the control surface 332 may be various shapes. The control surface 332 has a cross-sectional shape corresponding to the first control portion 140, and may have a higher height in relation to its periphery (eg, the first surface, etc.).

[0189] Figure 4 The control surface 332 has a shape extending along the lateral direction of the first box body 110. The control surface 332 may be located adjacent to the guide surface 322 and / or the raised surface 342 to form a boundary with the guide surface 322 and / or the raised surface 342.

[0190] Figure 4 , etc. show a state in which the control surface 332 is located behind the front panel 112 which is the front of the top panel 300 , and the first control unit 140 is located below the control surface 332 .

[0191] The control surface 332 may be located at one side obliquely with respect to the lateral direction of the top panel 300. For example, the side panel 115 of the first box body 110 may include a first side panel 116 located at one side and a second side panel 117 located at the other side, and the control surface 332 may be located at a position closer to the second side panel 117 than the first side panel 116.

[0192] In the top panel 300 , any one of the plurality of leg placement portions 310 may be disposed between the control surface 332 and the first side panel 116 . Figure 4 FIG. 10A and FIG. 10B show a state in which the fourth leg placement portion 310 d is arranged between the control surface 332 and the second side panel 117 .

[0193] In the case where the second surface corresponds to the control surface 332, a portion of the control surface 332 may be recessed by the leg seating portion 310. That is, the periphery of the control surface 332 may be defined as including a portion of the periphery of the leg seating portion 310.

[0194] Figure 4 , etc. show a state where a portion of the periphery of the first leg seating portion 310a corresponds to a portion of the periphery of the control surface 332 to form a boundary therebetween. In this case, the first control portion 140 may be located at a position that does not interfere with the leg seating portion 310.

[0195] For example, in the first control unit 140, a portion located below the control surface 332 but not below the first leg rest portion 310a or below the first leg rest portion 310a may be located below the leg rest surface 312 of the first leg rest portion 310a.

[0196] However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the above-mentioned first surface and second surface are not necessarily limited to corresponding to the control surface 332 and a surface around it. According to the configuration relationship between the various surfaces of the leg resting portion 310 and the top panel 300, the first surface and the second surface may correspond to surfaces different from the control surface 332 and the like.

[0197] on the other hand, Figure 4 etc. show the raised portion 340 of the top panel 300. As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, the legs 410 of the second processing device 200 may protrude toward the top panel 300 and be supported by the top panel 300, and the top panel 300 may include a leg seating portion 310 for seating the legs 410.

[0198] In addition, the first housing 110 includes a front panel 112 defining the front of the first processing device 100 , the raised portion 340 is spaced rearward from the front panel 112 , and the leg placement portion 310 may be located between the raised portion 340 and the front panel 112 .

[0199] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the top panel 300 may form a raised portion 340 raised upward from its periphery, and the raised portion 340 may provide an area spaced rearward from the front panel 112 to enable configuration of at least one of the plurality of leg seating portions 310 .

[0200] In an embodiment of the present invention, the raised portion 340 may correspond to the control surface 332, or may be a surface different from the control surface 332. For example, the raised portion 340 may include a raised surface 342 having a height different from that of the control surface 332.

[0201] The raised portion 340 may also have the effect of expanding the internal space of the first housing 110. Therefore, at least one of various internal structures of the first housing 110 may be disposed inside the raised portion 340 (ie, below the raised surface 342).

[0202] In one embodiment of the present invention, the top panel 300 may be formed to contain a metal material such as iron, aluminum, stainless steel, etc. Therefore, the top panel 300 may be advantageously formed to include surfaces of different heights from each other through a drawing process, a stamping process, etc. On the other hand, the top panel 300 formed and molded of the above-mentioned metal material may include a grounding portion 360 for removing residual current, etc.

[0203] On the other hand, in an embodiment of the present invention, the base portion 400 may be formed to include a polymer material having excellent moldability such as plastic, etc. Therefore, it may be advantageously molded into a relatively detailed and specific shape through ordinary injection molding, insert injection molding, etc.

[0204] For example, the base portion 400 has a shape corresponding to the structures of the fluid circulation portion 450 and the air circulation portion 440, which may be conducive to forming a space for configuring the structures, and may be conducive to the legs 410, whose internal space is open downward, being integrally formed with the base portion 400.

[0205] On the other hand, as described above, a portion of the second surface having a higher height in relationship to the first surface, etc. may be recessed to form a leg resting portion 310, but in this case, the interference relationship with the internal structure arranged below the second surface must be considered. In order to avoid such limitation, the raised portion 340 can be spaced rearward from the front panel 112 to form a configuration area for the leg resting portion 310.

[0206] Figure 4 etc. show a raised portion 340 that is obliquely located on the other side of the top panel 300, and show that the raised portion 340 is configured to be spaced rearward from the front end of the top panel 300, and a fourth leg placement portion 310d is formed between the raised portion 340 and the front end of the top panel 300 (i.e., the front panel 112).

[0207] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, the detergent supply part 150 in the internal structure of the first housing 110 may be located below the raised part 340. In this case, the raised surface 342 of the raised part 340 may also be defined as a detergent supply surface.

[0208] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the detergent supply surface is spaced apart from the front panel 112 toward the rear, and a plurality of leg placement portions 310 are provided, at least one of which may be located between the detergent supply surface and the front panel 112 .

[0209] Here, the distance between the detergent supply surface and the front panel 112 is described based on the front-rear direction of the first housing 110, and does not necessarily correspond to the position of the leg resting portion 310 facing the front panel 112 forward or the position facing the detergent supply surface backward.

[0210] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first leg placement portion 310a and the fourth leg placement portion 310d of the plurality of leg placement portions 310 may be located in front of the top panel 300, and the second leg placement portion 310b and the third leg placement portion 310c may be located behind the top panel 300, respectively.

[0211] Here, the front and rear of the top panel 300 can be defined differently according to different situations, but can basically be distinguished based on the center of the top panel 300, or can be distinguished based on the raised portion 340 or the guide surface 322 as needed.

[0212] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first box body 110 includes a rear panel 119 defining the back side of the first processing device 100 and a first side panel 116 defining the first side, the rear panel 119 can be located behind the leg placement portion 310, the first side panel 116 can be located on the first side, and the raised portion 340 can be located in the front and the second side.

[0213] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, any one of the plurality of leg placement portions 310 may be surrounded by the rear panel 119 , the first side panel 116 , and the raised portion 340 based on the front, rear, left, and right directions.

[0214] Reference Figure 8The third leg placement portion 310 c is described in detail as follows: First, in one embodiment of the present invention, the raised portion 340 may be in a form extending in the front-to-back direction and may be located in front of the rear panel 119 .

[0215] On the other hand, as described above, the plurality of leg seating portions 310 may be respectively located at the vertex regions of the top panel 300 to stably support the second box body 210 and effectively distribute the load.

[0216] For example, the third leg placement portion 310c may be located at a vertex region formed by the first side panel 116 and the rear panel 119. Therefore, the rear panel 119 may be located behind the third leg placement portion 310c, and the first side panel 116 may be located at the first side.

[0217] On the other hand, at least a portion of the raised portion 340 may be located around the third leg placement portion 310c. Therefore, the raised portion 340 may be located in front of and on the second side of the third leg placement portion 310c. Considering the configuration position of the third leg placement portion 310c, the raised portion 340 may be configured to have a partially recessed corner.

[0218] That is, a portion of the raised portion 340 corresponding to the vertex region defined by the rear panel 119 and the first side panel 116 may not be raised. That is, a region of the raised portion 340 other than the vertex region may be raised.

[0219] Figure 8 The third leg seating portion 310c is shown to have a curved peripheral shape around the third leg seating portion 310c to configure the raised portion 340. Specifically, the raised portion 340 may include a raised side surface extending upward from the top panel 300 and a raised surface 342 connected to the raised side surface, and a portion of the raised side surface may be located at a position facing the third leg seating portion 310c.

[0220] For example, the raised side surface may include a first raised side surface 346 located in front of the third leg seating portion 310c and a second raised side surface 347 located at a second side of the third leg seating portion 310c. The first raised side surface 346 and the second raised side surface 347 may be connected to each other and define a partial periphery of the raised portion 340.

[0221] Therefore, the raised portion 340 may have a shape in which a portion of the corners is recessed inward due to the first raised side surface 346 and the second raised side surface 347. That is, the raised surface 342 of the raised portion 340 may have a peripheral shape in which a portion facing the third leg seating portion 310c is recessed away from the third leg seating portion 310c.

[0222] On the other hand, as described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, when the detergent supply portion 150 is located below the raised portion 340 , the raised surface 342 of the raised portion 340 may also be defined as the detergent supply surface.

[0223] In this case, in one embodiment of the present invention, the leg placement portions 310 are provided in plurality, the rear panel 119 can be located behind any one of the leg placement portions 310, the first side panel 116 can be located on the first side, and the detergent supply surface can be located on the front and the second side.

[0224] In this case, the detergent supply portion 150 may also be configured or shaped to avoid structural interference with the third leg seating portion 310c.

[0225] In one embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the raised portion 340 has a peripheral shape that is sunken away from the vertex area defined by the rear panel 119 and the first side panel 116, thereby maximizing the area of ​​the raised portion 340 and effectively forming the leg placement portion 310 in the vertex area.

[0226] In addition, the raised surface 342 may be located at a higher position relative to the guide surface 322, and the control surface 332 may also be located at a higher position than the guide surface 322. The height relationship between the raised surface 342 and the control surface 332 may be varied. Figure 5 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 14 , the raised surface 342 may be located at a higher position than the control surface 332 .

[0227] The raised surface 342 may be located at a higher position than the upper end of the side panel 115 of the first box 110, and may be located at a lower position than the upper end of the front panel 112 of the first box 110. For example, the upper end of the front panel 112 of the first box 110 may be located at the highest position in the first processing device 100.

[0228] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, as described above, it includes a recessed surface 352 located at a lower position than the guide surface 322, and the second box body 210 includes a base portion 400 that defines the bottom surface of the second processing device 200, and the base portion 400 may include a protruding surface 430 that is opposite to the recessed surface 352 and protrudes toward the recessed surface 352.

[0229] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The concave surface 352 and the convex surface 430 are described as follows. In one embodiment of the present invention, the top panel 300 may include a concave surface 352 , and the concave surface 352 may have a lower height than the guide surface 322 .

[0230] The protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400 may be located above the recessed surface 352. The protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400 may be a surface protruding from the base portion 400 toward the top panel 300, and a portion of the fluid circulation portion 450 and the like may be located on the protruding surface 430 inside the second housing 210.

[0231] The recessed surface 352 of the top panel 300 may form a space for accommodating the protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400 . That is, at least a portion of the protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400 may be disposed in a space formed on the first housing 110 due to the recessed surface 352 .

[0232] In one embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the top panel 300 is recessed to form the recessed surface 352 , so that even if the protruding surface 430 protruding from the base portion 400 is generated, the base portion 400 can be stably supported on the top panel 300 .

[0233] The concave surface 352 and the convex surface 430 may have peripheral shapes corresponding to each other. Alternatively, the concave surface 352 may be formed to have an area at least larger than that of the convex surface 430 to form a space for accommodating the convex surface 430. Fig. 9 In FIG. 1 , a region corresponding to the recessed surface 352 of the top panel 300 is indicated by a dotted line.

[0234] On the other hand, the recessed surface 352 may include a first recessed surface 353 located lower than the guide surface 322 and a second recessed surface 354 located lower than the first recessed surface 353. That is, the top panel 300 may include a plurality of surfaces whose heights decrease in multiple stages.

[0235] The first recessed surface 353 may be configured to surround at least a portion of a periphery of the second recessed surface 354 . Figure 8 The second recessed surface 354 faces the rear panel 119 in the rear direction, and the periphery except the rear direction is surrounded by the first recessed surface 353 .

[0236] On the other hand, the first recessed surface 353 may be formed to include any one of a plurality of vertex regions formed in the top panel 300 , and at least one of the plurality of leg seating portions 310 may be located at the first recessed surface 353 .

[0237] For example, the first recessed surface 353 may be formed to include a vertex region defined by the rear panel 119 and the second side panel 117, and the second leg seating portion 310b disposed at the vertex region may be located on the first recessed surface 353. The second leg seating portion 310b may be located at a position spaced apart from the second recessed surface 354. That is, the second recessed surface 354 may be formed to be spaced apart from the second leg seating portion 310b.

[0238] On the other hand, the convex surface 430 may include a first convex surface 431 located on the first concave surface 353 and a second convex surface 432 located on the second concave surface 354 and more convex than the first concave surface 353 .

[0239] That is, the convex surface 430 formed on the base portion 400 may include a first convex surface 431 and a second convex surface 432 , and accordingly, the concave surface 352 of the top panel 300 may also include a first concave surface 353 and a second concave surface 354 .

[0240] The protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400 protrudes toward the top panel 300 , thereby expanding the space inside the second housing 210 , thereby ensuring space for arranging the internal structures of the second housing 210 .

[0241] In addition, when multiple structures are arranged on the protruding surface 430, additional space can be ensured according to different requirements of each structure. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400 can be formed by multiple surfaces having different protrusion amounts.

[0242] That is, the protruding surface 430 may be configured to include a first protruding surface 431 and a second protruding surface 432 that is more protruding than the first protruding surface 431 , and the height of the structure inside the second box body 210 arranged on the second protruding surface 432 is higher than the height of the structure located on the first protruding surface 431 .

[0243] On the other hand, the recessed surface 352 may also include a first recessed surface 353 for allowing the protrusion amount of the first protruding surface 431 , and may include a second recessed surface 354 for allowing the protrusion amount of the second protruding surface 432 .

[0244] The depression depth of the first depression surface 353 may correspond to the protrusion amount of the first protruding surface 431, and the depression depth of the second depression surface 354 may correspond to the protrusion amount of the second protruding surface 432. For example, the depression depth of the first depression surface 353 may be greater than or equal to the protrusion amount of the first protruding surface 431, and the depression depth of the second depression surface 354 may be greater than or equal to the protrusion amount of the second protruding surface 432.

[0245] In addition, the concave surface 352 may have an area greater than or equal to the convex surface 430. That is, the concave surface 352 may be provided in a shape corresponding to the convex surface 430, or may have a periphery at least enlarged than that of the convex surface 430.

[0246] Likewise, the first recessed surface 353 may have an area greater than or equal to the first protruding surface 431 , may be configured to have a shape corresponding to the first protruding surface 431 , or may have a periphery at least larger than that of the first protruding surface 431 .

[0247] The second recessed surface 354 may have an area greater than or equal to the second protruding surface 432 , may be configured to have a shape corresponding to the second protruding surface 432 , or may have a periphery at least larger than that of the first protruding surface 431 .

[0248] on the other hand, Figure 4 etc. show a grounding portion 360 provided on the top panel 300, Fig.13 FIG. 2 shows a state where the grounding portion 360 is viewed from above. Fig.13 In one embodiment of the present invention, the top panel 300 may include a grounding portion 360 that is sunken downward and connected to a grounding wire 362 .

[0249] Specifically, the first housing 110 may have various internal structures, and a portion of the internal structures may consume power. That is, the first processing device 100 may consume power for operation, and a grounding portion 360 may be provided to eliminate residual current.

[0250] The grounding portion 360 may be disposed on the first housing 110. The grounding portion 360 may be disposed on the top panel 300 of the first housing 110. A grounding wire 362 may be connected to the grounding portion 360. One end of the grounding wire 362 may be located on the grounding portion 360 of the top panel 300 and combined in a contacting manner with the grounding portion 360.

[0251] On the other hand, the grounding portion 360 may extend along the edge of the top panel 300. That is, the grounding portion 360 may be formed at least in a portion of the edge of the top panel 300. In addition, the grounding portion 360 may be open to the outside of the top panel 300 in a direction parallel to the ground.

[0252] For example, the grounding portion 360 may be formed in a recessed shape on the edge of the top panel 300 and open in a direction away from the top panel 300. Since the grounding portion 360 is set in an open shape as described above, the grounding wire 362 connected to the grounding portion 360 may extend to the outside of the grounding portion 360.

[0253] The grounding portion 360 may include a grounding surface connected to the grounding line 362 and a grounding side surface 365 extending along the edge of the grounding surface. For example, the grounding portion 360 may define a bottom surface recessed from the top panel 300 as a grounding surface, and may include a grounding side surface 365 located at the periphery of the grounding surface.

[0254] At least a portion of the grounding side surface 365 may extend obliquely relative to the extending direction of the grounding portion 360. That is, at least a portion of the grounding side surface 365 may extend obliquely relative to the extending direction of the edge of the top panel 300. That is, at least a portion of the grounding side surface 365 may extend obliquely relative to the front-rear direction or the lateral direction of the top panel 300.

[0255] For example, the grounding side surface 365 may include an inclined surface extending obliquely, and one end of the inclined surface may be located at the outermost periphery of the top panel 300 . Figure 5 It is shown that the grounding portion 360 is provided at a portion of the edge of the top panel 300 facing the second side panel 117 , and the grounding portion 360 is open to the second side and has an inclined surface extending obliquely to the second side.

[0256] The grounding wire 362 connected to the grounding portion 360 may be coupled to the grounding surface at a position adjacent to the inclined surface. The grounding wire 362 may be rotated together with a bolt or the like and coupled to the grounding portion 360 via a through member that passes through the grounding wire 362 and the grounding surface.

[0257] The inclined surface extending obliquely in the ground side surface 365 may extend obliquely away from the ground wire 362. Therefore, the ground wire 362 rotated by the rotation of the through member may be connected with the inclined surface to be restricted from rotating.

[0258] In this case, the extending direction of the grounding line 362 may be configured to be substantially parallel to the extending direction of the inclined surface, so that the grounding line 362 can be combined with the grounding portion 360 while minimizing the bending of the grounding line 362 .

[0259] on the other hand, Fig.14 FIG. 3 shows a first guide rib 370 located on the top panel 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.14 In one embodiment of the present invention, the top panel 300 may include a first guide rib 370 for guiding the position of the base portion 400 .

[0260] Specifically, the first guide rib 370 protrudes from the top panel 300 toward the second box body 210 and may extend along the first direction D1 to inhibit movement of the second box body 210. The first guide rib 370 may be located on the guide surface 322 of the top panel 300, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0261] In other words, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first guide rib 370 is disposed on either the top surface of the first box body 110 or the bottom surface of the second box body 210, and protrudes toward the other of the top surface of the first box body 110 and the bottom surface of the second box body 210, and the first guide rib 370 can extend along the first direction D1 to limit the movement of the other side along the second direction D2 transverse to the first direction D1.

[0262] Specifically, the first guide rib 370 may protrude from the top panel 300 toward the base portion 400, and thus may contact the base portion 400. That is, the base portion 400 may guide the coupling process or guide to the coupling position on the top panel 300 through the contact relationship with the first guide rib 370, and the movement away from the coupling position is restricted.

[0263] As described above, in the clothing processing device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the second processing device 200 can be placed on the first processing device 100, and the second processing device 200 can be moved downward from the top of the first processing device 100 to be placed, or it can also include a sliding process after placement to achieve mutual combination.

[0264] In addition, the second treating device 200 placed on the first treating device 100 may be affected by vibration or external force generated during the laundry treatment process, in which case the second treating device 200 may be accidentally moved on the first treating device 100 .

[0265] That is, if the second processing device 200 deviates from the accurate bonding position during placement on the first processing device 100, or if the second processing device 200 moves unexpectedly even if it is located at the accurate bonding position, the second processing device 200 may not be fully supported by the first processing device 100 or may cause unspecified damage.

[0266] To prevent this, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first guide rib 370 is protrudingly disposed on the top panel 300, and the base portion 400 can guide the combined position or restrict accidental movement through a structural interference relationship with the first guide rib 370. The first guide rib 370 can also be disposed from the base portion 400 to the top panel 300 according to the situation.

[0267] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, the top panel 300 may include a guide surface 322, which faces the second box body 210 and is provided with the first guide rib 370. The guide surface 322 provides an area where the first guide rib 370 can be provided, and may correspond to a surface parallel to the ground. The first guide rib 370 may be provided to be protruding from the guide surface 322.

[0268] The guide surface 322 may be distinguished from the control surface 332, the raised surface 342, and the recessed surface 352 described above. For example, the guide surface 322 may have a different height than the control surface 332, etc. Fig.14 As shown, the control surface 332 may be located in front of the guide surface 322, the raised surface 342 may be located laterally, and the recessed surface 352 may be located rearward. The guide surface 322, the control surface 332, the raised surface 342, and the recessed surface 352 may have different heights from each other.

[0269] On the other hand, the first guide rib 370 protrudes toward the second housing 210 and extends in the first direction D1, thereby suppressing movement of the second housing 210. That is, the first guide rib 370 may have a rib shape protruding from the guide surface 322 and extending in the first direction D1.

[0270] The first direction D1 may be determined in various ways. Fig.14 The first guide rib 370 is shown to be determined in such a manner that the first direction D1 is substantially parallel to the front-rear direction of the first housing 110 , but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0271] The first guide rib 370 may be provided to prevent the second box 210 from moving in a direction transverse to the first direction D1. That is, the first guide rib 370 extends along the first direction D1 and prevents the base 400 from moving in a second direction D2 transverse to the first direction D1 over the first guide rib 370.

[0272] In the case where the first guide rib 370 extends in the front-rear direction, the base portion 400 may be restricted from moving in the lateral direction by a structural interference relationship (ie, contact with the first guide rib 370 ).

[0273] For example, if the second processing device 200 is combined through a sliding process in a state where it is placed on the first processing device 100 , the first direction D1 corresponding to the extending direction of the first guide rib 370 may be parallel to the sliding direction of the second processing device 200 .

[0274] Therefore, even if the first guide rib 370 is formed on the top panel 300, the base portion 400 of the second processing device 200 can slide along the first direction D1 on the top panel 300. Even if the second processing device 200 is combined with the first processing device 100 without a sliding process, the first guide rib 370 can guide the combined position of the second processing device 200 based on the lateral direction.

[0275] On the other hand, the first guide rib 370 may be located at a position spaced apart from the edge of the top panel 300. If the second processing device 200 is coupled to the first processing device 100, the first guide rib 370 may be accommodated in the base portion 400 and may be covered by the second case 210 from the outside.

[0276] on the other hand, Fig.15 FIG. 4 shows a second guide rib 470 disposed on the base portion 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.15 The second box body 210 includes a second guide rib 470 protruding toward the top panel 300 and extending along the first direction D1, and the first guide rib 370 is located adjacent to the second guide rib 470, so that the movement of the second box body 210 can be suppressed.

[0277] Specifically, the second guide rib 470 may protrude downward from the base portion 400. For example, the second guide rib 470 may protrude from the base portion 400 to the guide surface 322 of the top panel 300. The second guide rib 470 may be located adjacent to the first guide rib 370 along the second direction D2.

[0278] The second guide rib 470 may extend in parallel with the first guide rib 370. That is, the second guide rib 470 may have a rib shape extending in the first direction D1, like the first guide rib 370.

[0279] Since the second guide rib 470 is located adjacent to the first guide rib 370, the second guide rib 470 can be restricted from moving in the second direction D2 by contacting the first guide rib 370. That is, the second guide rib 470 is restricted from moving in the second direction D2 by the first guide rib 370, thereby restricting the movement of the base 400 and the second box 210 in the second direction D2.

[0280] On the other hand, the first guide ribs 370 are provided in a plurality and arranged in a direction transverse to the first direction D1, the second guide ribs 470 are provided in a plurality and arranged in a direction transverse to the first direction D1, and the second guide ribs 470 can be located between the plurality of first guide ribs 370.

[0281] Fig.16 The base portion 400 is placed on the top panel 300 , and the first guide rib 370 and the second guide rib 470 are located adjacent to each other.

[0282] Reference Fig.16 The first guide rib 370 may be disposed on the guide surface 322, and the second guide rib 470 may also be located above the guide surface 322 in the base portion 400. At least two first guide ribs 370 may be provided, and may be arranged along the second direction D2.

[0283] Fig.16 The first guide ribs 370 are shown as a pair, extending in the first direction D1 and arranged at intervals in the second direction D2. However, the number or arrangement of the first guide ribs 370 may be varied as needed.

[0284] On the other hand, the second guide rib 470 may be located between a plurality of first guide ribs 370. Fig.16 As shown, the second guide rib 470 may be located between a pair of first guide ribs 370 .

[0285] Therefore, the movement of the second guide rib 470 to both sides along the second direction D2 can be restricted. That is, the second guide rib 470 can restrict the separation between the pair of first guide ribs 370 along the second direction D2 through structural interference.

[0286] The second guide ribs 470 may be provided in a number corresponding to the number of the first guide ribs 370. For example, a pair of second guide ribs 470 may be provided between a pair of first guide ribs 370.

[0287] The plurality of second guide ribs 470 may be respectively located adjacent to any one of the first guide ribs 370. That is, a pair of second guide ribs 470 may be located between the pair of first guide ribs 370, facing and adjacent to different first guide ribs 370.

[0288] For example, when viewed with the center that can be defined between the pair of second guide ribs 470 as a reference, each of the pair of second guide ribs 470 can be located at a position facing and adjacent to the first guide rib 370 in the outer side.

[0289] Therefore, when the base portion 400 intends to move to one side based on the second direction D2, any one of the pair of second guide ribs 470 contacts the first guide rib 370 on the outside so that the movement is restricted. When the base portion 400 intends to move to the other side, the other second guide rib 470 contacts the first guide rib 370 located on the outside so that the movement is restricted.

[0290] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first guide rib 370 and the second guide rib 470 are each provided as a pair, and the pair of second guide ribs 470 are located between the pair of first guide ribs 370, so as to suppress movement in a direction transverse to the first direction D1.

[0291] On the other hand, the plurality of first guide ribs 370 may be arranged along a second direction D2 that crosses the first direction D1 , and a center formed by the plurality of first guide ribs 370 based on the second direction D2 may be located at a position oblique to the first side panel 116 or the second side panel 117 .

[0292] For example, the plurality of first guide ribs 370 may be arranged such that the centers of a pair of first guide ribs 370 located at the outermost periphery based on the second direction D2 are closer to the second side panel 117 than the first side panel 116. This may also be applied to the second guide ribs 470 in the same manner.

[0293] On the other hand, in an embodiment of the present invention, the length L1 of the first guide rib 370 extending along the first direction D1 may be shorter than the length LA of the top panel 300 in the first direction D1. As described above, the first guide rib 370 may be disposed on the guide surface 322 of the top panel 300.

[0294] A surface with a different height, such as a control surface 332 or a recessed surface 352 , may be provided in front of or behind the guide surface 322 . Therefore, the first guide rib 370 may have an extension length L1 shorter than the length LA of the top panel 300 to form a surface with a different height from the guide surface 322 .

[0295] In addition, the first guide rib 370 may be located at a position spaced apart from the leg seating portion 310. Therefore, the first guide rib 370 does not prevent the leg 410 from being seated on the leg seating portion 310, and movement of the base portion may be suppressed.

[0296] on the other hand, Fig.17 FIG. 1 shows the upper end of the front panel 112 and the rear bracket 190 located in front of the second box 210 in the laundry treatment device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.17 The front panel 112 protrudes upwards than the front end of the top panel 300, thereby limiting the forward movement of the second box body 210.

[0297] Specifically, in an embodiment of the present invention, the first guide rib 370 and the second guide rib 470 may extend along a first direction D1 , and the first direction D1 may be parallel to the front-rear direction of the first box body 110 .

[0298] In addition, the first guide rib 370 and the second guide rib 470 are provided in plural numbers so as to be adjacently arranged along a second direction D2 crossing the first direction D1 . The second direction D2 may be parallel to the lateral direction of the first housing 110 .

[0299] That is, the first guide rib 370 and / or the second guide rib 470 extend in the front-rear direction, so that the lateral movement of the base portion 400 can be suppressed.

[0300] On the other hand, the front panel 112 of the first housing 110 may protrude upward from the first housing 110. That is, the upper end of the front panel 112 may be located higher than the upper end of the top panel 300 or the side panel 115.

[0301] Therefore, the upper end of the front panel 112 may be located in front of the base portion 400 , and the base portion 400 may be restricted from moving forward from the completely coupled position.

[0302] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first guide rib 370 and / or the second guide rib 470 are used to limit the lateral movement of the second box body 210, i.e., the base portion 400, and the front panel 112 is used to limit the forward movement of the base portion 400, thereby maintaining a stable coupling structure.

[0303] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, a rear bracket 190 coupled to the second box 210 may be further included at the rear of the first box 110. The rear bracket 190 protrudes upward from the rear end of the top panel 300, thereby limiting the movement of the second box 210 to the rear.

[0304] The rear bracket 190 may be combined with the rear panel 119 of the first box 110 and the second box 210. That is, at least a portion of the rear bracket 190 may be located behind the base portion 400. The rear bracket 190 may limit the rearward movement of the second box 210 through structural interference.

[0305] The lower portion of the rear bracket 190 may be coupled to the first box 110 at the rear of the first box 110, and the upper portion may be coupled to the second box 210 at the rear of the second box 210. The rear bracket 190 may extend in a lateral direction of the first box 110.

[0306] In one embodiment of the present invention, the forward and backward movement of the second box body 210 can be limited by the first guide rib 370 and / or the second guide rib 470 extending along the front and rear directions of the first box body 110, the forward movement can be limited by the front panel 112, and the backward movement can be limited by the rear bracket 190.

[0307] Therefore, it is possible to effectively restrict the second housing 210 including the base portion 400 from unexpectedly moving in the front, rear, left, and right directions, and also to effectively guide the coupling position.

[0308] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the remaining portion of the top panel 300 except the raised portion 340 may be provided with a guide surface 322 having a height lower than that of the raised surface 342 of the raised portion 340. The guide surface 322 may be provided with a first guide rib 370 that protrudes toward the second box body 210 and extends in the first direction D1, thereby suppressing the movement of the second box body 210.

[0309] In addition, at least a portion of the raised surface 342 is located at a lateral direction of the guide surface 322 , and the first guide rib 370 may extend on the guide surface 322 to cross the lateral direction.

[0310] on the other hand, Fig.18 FIG. 3 shows a raised portion 340 provided on the top panel 300 in one embodiment of the present invention. Fig.18 The top panel 300 may include a raised portion 340 that is raised toward the second box body 210 to form a raised space that communicates with the interior of the first box body 110 .

[0311] In addition, the first processing device 100 may include an internal structure disposed inside the first housing 110 and at least a portion of which is located in the raised space. For example, at least a portion of the internal structure of the first processing device 100 may be located in the space formed by the raised portion 340 .

[0312] That is, a portion of the top surface of the first box body 110 bulges upwards than the rest so that the internal structure of the first processing device 100 is located inside it, and a portion of the bottom surface of the second box body 210 can form a space to accommodate the bulged portion of the top surface of the first box body 110.

[0313] As described above, the raised portion 340 includes the raised surface 342 located on the raised space, and the remaining portion of the top panel 300 except the raised surface 342 may be located at a position lower than the raised surface 342 .

[0314] In an embodiment of the present invention, the internal structure below the raised surface 342 may correspond to the detergent supply unit 150. That is, the first treatment device 100 may further include an outer tub 125 disposed inside the first housing 110 and containing water, and the first drum 120 is disposed inside the outer tub 125.

[0315] The internal structure may correspond to a detergent supply unit 150 storing detergent to supply detergent to the outer tub 125. The detergent supply unit 150 is disposed inside the first housing 110 and may store detergent to supply detergent to the outer tub 125. At least a portion of the detergent supply unit 150 may be located below the raised surface 342.

[0316] In addition, as described above, when at least a portion of the detergent supply unit 150 is located below the raised surface 342, the raised surface 342 may also be defined as the detergent supply surface. That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, a detergent supply surface may be included that is located at a higher position than the guide surface 322 and at least a portion of the detergent supply unit 150 is disposed below.

[0317] on the other hand, Fig.19 The receiving space 420 formed in the base portion 400 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0318] The accommodation space 420 may be formed to be recessed upward in a portion of the base portion 400 facing the raised surface 342 , and may accommodate the raised surface 342 . Fig.19 In FIG. 3 , the shape of the raised surface 342 is indicated by a dotted line.

[0319] The accommodation space 420 may be provided in a shape corresponding to the raised surface 342 or may have an area larger than the raised surface 342. In one embodiment of the present invention, by forming the raised portion 340 on the top panel 300, a space for disposing the internal structure of the first treatment device such as the detergent supply unit 150 may be effectively ensured, and further, by forming the accommodation space 420 on the base portion 400, the base portion 400 may be stably placed on the top panel 300 on which the raised portion 340 is formed.

[0320] on the other hand, Fig. 20 The detergent supply unit 150 provided inside the first housing 110 according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Fig. 20 In FIG. 3 , the shape of the raised surface 342 is indicated by a dotted line.

[0321] Reference Fig. 20 The first housing 110 includes a first side panel 116 defining a first side of the first treatment device 100 and a second side panel 117 defining a second side, and the raised portion 340 and the detergent supply portion 150 may be located closer to the first side panel 116 than the second side panel 117 .

[0322] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the detergent supply unit 150 can be located at the upper portion of the first housing 110 so that the user can use it conveniently. In addition, in order to avoid structural interference with the cylindrical outer barrel 125 whose central axis is generally facing forward, the detergent supply unit 150 can be located at a position deviated to one side.

[0323] For example, the detergent supply unit 150 may be located at an upper portion of the first housing 110 adjacent to the first side panel 116. The detergent supply unit 150 may also be in contact with the first side panel 116. Depending on the location of the detergent supply unit 150, the raised portion 340 may also be formed in the top panel 300 adjacent to the first side panel 116.

[0324] On the other hand, in an embodiment of the present invention, the detergent supply part 150 may include a protruding part 151, which protrudes toward the raised part 340 and is located in the raised space. In addition, the detergent supply part 150 may further include a non-protruding part 152 located outside the raised space.

[0325] Specifically, detergent supply unit 150 may include a space for storing detergent, and may include a flow path for water mixed with detergent and supplied to outer tub 125. That is, it is important for detergent supply unit 150 to ensure a storage space for detergent.

[0326] To this end, in an embodiment of the present invention, the detergent supply portion 150 may include a protrusion 151 protruding toward the ridge 340. The protrusion 151 may correspond to a water flow path or a detergent storage space.

[0327] However, the detergent supply part 150 may also include a non-protruding part 152, which is different from the protruding part 151 and is located outside the raised space. In this case, the protruding part 151 of the detergent supply part 150 may be inserted into the raised space of the raised part 340, and the non-protruding part 152 may be located outside the raised space.

[0328] Here, the raised space, as a space formed by the raised portion 340 , may refer to a space located below the raised surface 342 , surrounded by the raised side surfaces, and open to the inside of the first housing 110 .

[0329] Therefore, only a portion of the detergent supply portion 150 protrudes and expands to use the raised space of the raised portion 340, so that it can be used as a storage space for detergent, etc., and other portions will not protrude and expand, thereby avoiding the increase of unnecessary raised surfaces 342, etc.

[0330] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, the raised portion 340 is spaced rearward from the front panel 112 , and at least a portion of the non-protruding portion 152 can be configured to be located in front of the protruding portion 151 and correspond to between the front panel 112 and the raised portion 340 .

[0331] The protrusion 151 is a region that protrudes upward from the detergent supply portion 150 and increases in volume, and may be located in the protrusion space of the protrusion 340. On the other hand, unlike the protrusion 151, the non-protrusion 152 does not protrude upward and may be located between the front panel 112 and the protrusion 151.

[0332] The leg placement portion 310 may be located above the non-protruding portion 152. That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, only a specific portion of the detergent supply portion 150 is protruded and accommodated in the raised space, and the remaining portion is not protruded to form various areas of the top panel 300, thereby improving space utilization.

[0333] on the other hand, Fig.21 FIG. 2 shows a state where the detergent supply unit 150 is decomposed according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.21 , the detergent supply part 150 may include a water supply unit 157 , a detergent storage part 155 , and a detergent case 156 .

[0334] The water supply unit 157 is located on the detergent case 156 and can supply water to the inside of the detergent case 156. When the first treatment device 100 is configured to wash clothes, the first treatment device 100 may be connected to an external water supply source that supplies water from the outside of the first housing 110.

[0335] The water supply valve 161 may be provided to be connected to an external water supply source to control the flow of water. The water supply unit 157 may be connected to the water supply valve 161 via a water supply hose 162 to receive water supply. The water supply unit 157 may supply water to the inside of the detergent case 156 or the detergent storage portion 155 located therebelow.

[0336] The detergent case 156 may be located below the water supply unit 157 , and the detergent storage portion 155 may be accommodated inside the detergent case 156 . That is, the detergent case 156 may form a space for accommodating the detergent storage portion 155 .

[0337] The detergent storage part 155 may store detergent. The detergent storage part 155 may include a space for storing detergent, and may be provided so that at least a portion thereof can be withdrawn from the inside of the detergent case 156 to the outside of the first housing 110 .

[0338] The user can draw out the detergent storage portion 155 to the outside of the first housing 110 , store detergent therein, and then push it into the first housing 110 (also the interior of the detergent case 156 ).

[0339] If the process of washing clothes is performed, the water supply valve 161 is opened, water is supplied to the water supply unit 157, and the water supply unit 157 discharges water to the interior of the detergent storage section 155 and / or the detergent shell 156, and the detergent stored in the detergent storage section 155 can be mixed with the water discharged from the water supply unit 157 and transferred from the interior of the detergent shell 156 to the outer barrel 125.

[0340] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least a portion of the water supply unit 157 may be located in the raised space of the raised portion 340. That is, the detergent supply portion 150 may include a protrusion 151 that protrudes upward from the water supply unit 157 and is located inside the raised space, and a water flow path is formed inside the protrusion 151.

[0341] That is, the protrusion 151 may correspond to at least a portion of the water supply unit 157. The water supply unit 157 may include a flow path of water for flowing water supplied through the water supply hose 162, and a space for forming the flow path needs to be ensured.

[0342] In addition, in order to increase the storage amount of detergent, it is ultimately necessary to increase the size of the detergent storage section 155, and the increase in the volume of the detergent storage section 155 or the formation of the flow path of the water supply unit 157 may ultimately require an increase in the height of the upper end of the water supply unit 157 located above the detergent supply section 150.

[0343] That is, in detergent supply part 150 , at least a portion of water supply unit 157 may protrude upward to form protrusion 151 , and protrusion 151 may be accommodated in the raised space. Protrusion 151 may correspond to a portion forming a flow path of water supply unit 157 .

[0344] Fig. 22 Shown is a cutaway Fig.18 The cross section of line AA. Fig. 22 The protrusion 151 of the water supply unit 157 accommodated in the raised space is shown. In this way, at least a portion of the water supply unit 157 protrudes upward and is accommodated in the raised space, so that the separation distance between the detergent supply part 150 and the outer tub 125 can be effectively ensured.

[0345] On the other hand, the raised portion 340 is spaced apart from the front panel 112 toward the rear, and the water supply unit 157 may include a non-raised portion 152 located in front of the raised portion 151 and disposed outside the raised space.

[0346] For example, the front end of the water supply unit 157 may be defined as a non-protruding portion 152, and a portion forming a water flow path behind the non-protruding portion 152 may be defined as a protruding portion 151. The detergent supply unit 150 may be connected to the front panel 112 and extend toward the rear.

[0347] In an embodiment of the present invention, the portion of the water supply unit 157 that does not need to be enlarged maintains a non-protruding state, so the formation area of ​​the protrusion 340 is reduced, thereby minimizing unnecessary space consumption.

[0348] On the other hand, the detergent supply portion 150 also includes a detergent hose 159, which is connected to the water supply unit 157 and transfers the detergent in the detergent storage portion 155 to the protrusion 151; a hose insertion groove 153 can be recessedly formed on the top surface of the protrusion 151, and the detergent hose 159 is inserted into the hose insertion groove 153 and extends.

[0349] Specifically, refer again to Fig. 20 In one embodiment of the present invention, the detergent stored in the detergent storage portion 155 may be supplied to the interior of the detergent housing 156 through the detergent hose 159 and the water supply unit 157 .

[0350] To this end, the detergent supply part 150 may include a detergent pump 158 connected to the detergent storage part 155 and pumping detergent, and the detergent pump 158 may be connected to a detergent hose 159 to transfer the detergent to the water supply unit 157 through the detergent hose 159 .

[0351] As described above, the water supply unit 157 may form a flow path for water to flow in the protrusion 151 , and the detergent hose 159 is connected to the protrusion 151 so that the detergent may be supplied to the inside of the protrusion 151 .

[0352] Therefore, in the water supply unit 157 , water and detergent may flow inside the protrusion 151 , and the water and detergent may be discharged together into the detergent case 156 and transferred to the outer tub 125 .

[0353] On the other hand, as described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, in order to maximize the space utilization inside the first housing 110, the protrusion 340 may be formed on the top panel 300. However, if the detergent hose 159 for supplying detergent to the protrusion 151 of the water supply unit 157 protrudes upward from the protrusion 151, the height of the detergent supply unit 150 as a whole may be increased unnecessarily, which may be disadvantageous.

[0354] Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, the water supply unit 157 may form a hose insertion groove 153 on the protrusion 151, and at least a portion of the detergent hose 159 may be inserted into the hose insertion groove 153 and extend.

[0355] Therefore, the protrusion of the detergent hose 159 extending from the water supply unit 157 is minimized, so that the raised space can be effectively used. The hose connection part 154 connected to the detergent hose 159 at the protrusion 151 also extends in a direction parallel to the detergent hose 159 and is located at a position sunken downward from the protrusion 151, so that the protrusion caused by the detergent hose 159 can be minimized.

[0356] That is, the protrusion 151 also includes a hose connecting portion 154 connected to the detergent hose 159 , and the hose connecting portion 154 extends inside the hose insertion groove 153 in a direction parallel to the raised surface 342 of the raised portion 340 , so that it can be connected to the detergent hose 159 .

[0357] On the other hand, Fig. 22 As shown, the detergent supply unit 150 may further include a detergent pump 158 that is coupled to the detergent case 156 from the outside of the detergent case 156 to pump the detergent in the detergent storage unit 155 .

[0358] The detergent pump 158 may be connected to the detergent storage part 155 to pump the detergent stored in the detergent storage part 155. The detergent storage part 155 is accommodated inside the detergent case 156, and the detergent pump 158 may be located outside the detergent case 156 to expand the storage capacity of the detergent storage part 155.

[0359] The detergent pump 158 may be combined with the detergent case 156 at the rear of the detergent case 156 to be connected to the detergent storage portion 155. The detergent pump 158 may be located below the raised surface 342 of the raised portion 340. Therefore, the raised surface 342 may have a shape extending longer than the water supply unit 157, and a space for the detergent pump 158 may be effectively ensured inside the first housing 110.

[0360] on the other hand, Fig.23 Shown is a cutaway Fig.18 The state of the cross section of the BB line. Fig.23 The first treatment device 100 may further include: a water supply hose 162 for transferring water supplied from an external water supply source to the detergent supply part 150, and a water supply valve 161 connected to the water supply hose 162 to control the flow of water.

[0361] The water supply valve 161 may be located below the raised surface 342 of the raised portion 340. That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the raised portion 340 may be provided to ensure not only a space for the detergent supply portion 150 but also a space for the water supply valve 161 and the like.

[0362] The water supply valve 161 may be located at the rear of the interior of the first housing 110. The water supply valve 161 may be connected and fixed to the rear panel 119. The water supply valve 161 may be located at a position further back than the detergent supply portion 150. In addition, the water supply valve 161 may be located at a position further laterally spaced apart from the detergent pump 158 to minimize interference with the detergent pump 158 and the detergent hose 159.

[0363] Therefore, the protrusion 340 may have a shape in which a rear portion is laterally enlarged than the rest of the portion, so that at least a portion of the water supply valve 161 may be located in the protrusion space. For example, the protrusion 340 may include: a first portion having a first width based on the lateral direction of the first housing 110 and a second portion having a second width wider than the first portion.

[0364] The second part may be connected to the first part at a position further back than the first part. The first raised side surface 346 and the second raised side surface 347 of the raised portion 340 may correspond to a portion of the periphery of the second part. In addition, the water supply valve 161 may be located below a portion of the second part whose width is larger than that of the first part.

[0365] In one embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the top panel 300 is raised in a manner having a higher height to form a raised portion 340. Through the raised space of the raised portion 340, not only the space for configuring the detergent supply portion 150 is ensured, but also the space for configuring internal structures such as the detergent pump 158 and the water supply valve 161 related to the detergent supply portion 150 can be effectively ensured.

[0366] on the other hand, Fig.24 FIG. 3 shows a concave surface 352 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.24 In one embodiment of the present invention, the top panel 300 further includes a recessed surface 352 located at a lower position than the guide surface 322 , and the first guide rib 370 may be disposed on the guide surface 322 except for the recessed surface 352 .

[0367] That is, the top panel 300 may include a recessed surface 352 located at a lower position than the guide surface 322 relative to the ground, the second box body 210 may include a base portion 400 defining the bottom surface of the second processing device 200, and the base portion 400 may include a protruding surface 430 facing the recessed surface 352 and protruding toward the recessed surface 352.

[0368] The concave surface 352 may be formed such that a portion of the top panel 300 is concave downward. For example, the concave surface 352 may have a lower height than the guide surface 322. The depth of the concave surface 352 may correspond to the protrusion amount of the protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400.

[0369] Reference Fig.24 At least a portion of the recessed surface 352 may be configured to be adjacent to the guide surface 322 along the front-rear direction. That is, in relation to the guide surface 322, the recessed surface 352 may correspond to a stepped surface.

[0370] The raised surface 342 may be located laterally of the recessed surface 352. That is, as described above, the raised surface 342 may include a first portion having a first width and a second portion having a second width. The raised surface 342 may be located adjacent to the first side panel 116, the guide surface 322 may be located between the first portion of the raised surface 342 and the second side panel 117, and the recessed surface 352 may be located between the second portion of the raised surface 342 and the second side panel 117. The raised surface 342, the guide surface 322, and the recessed surface 352 may be formed in a stepped shape relative to each other.

[0371] On the other hand, as described above, the recessed surface 352 may include a first recessed surface 353 located lower than the guide surface 322 and a second recessed surface 354 located lower than the first recessed surface 353. The formation of the first recessed surface 353 and the second recessed surface 354 may be determined in relation to the convex surface 430 of the base portion 400.

[0372] Fig.25 The convex surface 430 of the base portion 400 is shown according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.25 In FIG. 1 , a region corresponding to the recessed surface 352 of the top panel 300 is indicated by a dotted line.

[0373] Reference Fig.25 As described above, the convex surface 430 of the base portion 400 may include a first convex surface 431 located on the first concave surface 353 and a second convex surface 432 located on the second concave surface 354 and more convex than the first concave surface 353 .

[0374] The bottom surface of the base portion 400 may include not only a surface parallel to the ground, but also various protruding structures such as ribs. The protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400 may be formed as a surface substantially parallel to the ground.

[0375] Fig.26 FIG. 4 shows a state where the base portion 400 is viewed from the inside of the second box body 210 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig.26The second processing device 200 may include a fluid circulation part 450, which is arranged on the protruding surface 430 inside the second box body 210, and the fluid circulates in the fluid circulation part 450 and supplies heat to the air or receives heat from the air.

[0376] That is, the second treating device 200 may be configured to be able to dry clothes, and thus may include a fluid circulation part 450 as a means for heating air to provide high-temperature dry air to the inside of the second drum 220 .

[0377] The fluid circulation unit 450 may correspond to a heat pump system, that is, the fluid circulation unit 450 is equivalent to a device in which the fluid circulates in the condenser, the compressor 452, the expansion valve, and the evaporator, and exchanges heat with the outside (ie, air).

[0378] The second processing device 200 may include an air circulation part 440 that is dehumidified and heated by the fluid circulation part 450. A portion of the fluid circulation part 450 is exposed to an air flow path formed in the air circulation part 440, so that heat exchange can be achieved between air and fluid.

[0379] In an embodiment of the present invention, the air circulation part 440 may be located above the raised part 340, and at least a portion of the fluid circulation part 450 may be located on the recessed surface 352. However, this is only an example, and various configurations may be considered.

[0380] In one embodiment of the present invention, a fluid circulation portion 450 may be disposed on the base portion 400 , and a fluid may circulate in the fluid circulation portion 450 to supply heat to or receive heat from the air. At least a portion of the fluid circulation portion 450 may be located on the recessed surface 352 .

[0381] That is, at least a portion of the base portion 400 may protrude downward to form a protruding surface 430 of the base portion 400, so as to ensure a space for arranging at least a portion of the fluid circulation portion 450. In addition, the top panel 300 may form a recessed surface 352 to accommodate the protruding surface 430 so that the base portion 400 can be completely placed.

[0382] The fluid circulation unit 450 may include a compressor 452 for compressing the fluid and a cooling fan 454 for cooling the compressor 452 . The compressor 452 may be located on the first protruding surface 431 , and the cooling fan 454 may be located on the second protruding surface 432 .

[0383] For the sake of operating efficiency, the compressor 452 may have a relatively high height, so a relatively high space margin needs to be ensured for the installation space of the compressor 452. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a protruding surface 430 may be formed on the base portion 400, and the compressor 452 may be disposed on the protruding surface 430.

[0384] In addition, the fluid circulation part 450 may include a cooling fan 454 for reducing heat generated during operation of the compressor 452. The cooling fan 454 may also need to be located adjacent to the compressor 452 and have a higher height installation space corresponding to the compressor 452.

[0385] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the bottom of the area in the base 400 for arranging the compressor 452 and the cooling fan 454 is protruded downward, so that the installation space for the compressor 452 and the cooling fan 454 can be effectively ensured.

[0386] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, the compressor 452 may be located on the first protruding surface 431, and the cooling fan 454 may be located on the second protruding surface 432. The protrusion amounts of the first protruding surface 431 and the second protruding surface 432 may be the same as each other, or the protrusion amount of the second protruding surface 432 may be greater than the protrusion amount of the first protruding surface 431.

[0387] However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the structure disposed on the protruding surface 430 is not necessarily limited to the compressor 452 or the cooling fan 454. For example, a part of the air circulation unit 440 may be disposed above the protruding surface 430, or the rest of the fluid circulation unit 450 except for the compressor 452 may be disposed.

[0388] In an embodiment of the present invention, surfaces of various heights may be formed on the top panel 300 to effectively ensure the internal space of the first box body 110 or to effectively accommodate the protruding portion of the base portion 400 .
