The control system sets the movement of the hangers on the horizontal slide rail and controls the operation of the inflatable inner liner for drying, ironing, sterilization and aromatherapy programs. Washing: The clothes are lowered into the washing area along the vertical slide rail. The clothes are washed statically. The washing process uses the principle of ultrasonic vibration and water electrolysis to remove dirt. High-pressure flushing tubes on both sides of the clothes move up and down to complete the washing. The ultrasonic vibration washing is combined with targeted special laundry detergent. Spin-dry: After washing, the clothes descend along the vertical slide rail to the spin-drying area, where the spin-drying disc presses the clothes to secure them and spins them dry. Sterilization, drying, ironing, or aromatherapy: The garment rises along the vertical slide rail to the hanging area, where it is treated with at least one of the following: ultraviolet sterilization, drying, or aromatherapy. The garment is then centered using the horizontal slide rail, and the motor controls the opening of the air-filled inner liner of the individual hanger, activating the steam iron to complete the ironing process.
