Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a clothing processing device, and more particularly, to a clothing processing device having a filter core for filtering out foreign matter in the air. Background Art

[0002] Generally, a clothes dryer is a device that puts the washed and dehydrated laundry into a drum (or outer tub) of the dryer, and dries the laundry by supplying hot air into the drum to evaporate the moisture in the laundry.

[0003] The air released from the laundry in the drum of a clothes dryer contains moisture from the laundry, resulting in hot, humid air. Dryers can be categorized based on how they handle this hot, humid air. Specifically, they can be divided into condensation-type dryers, in which the hot, humid air is not exhausted outside the dryer but circulates through a heat exchange device, undergoing heat exchange and condensing the moisture contained in the hot, humid air, and exhaust-type dryers, in which the hot, humid air exhausted from the drum is directly discharged to the outside.

[0004] On the other hand, after drying the clothes, the air exhausted from the drum may contain foreign matter, such as lint, released from the clothes. Such foreign matter can cause malfunctions while passing through the mechanical components of the clothes dryer, and contaminate the outside air when exhausted. Therefore, the air passing through the drum needs to pass through a filter to remove foreign matter.

[0005] Typically, a filter is provided in front of the drum and filters foreign matter contained in the air passing through the drum. Here, when the dryer is continuously used, foreign matter such as lint may accumulate in the filter.

[0006] If such foreign matter accumulates above a certain level, it will obstruct the flow of air, so it needs to be cleaned regularly. After the drying cycle is completed, the user removes the filter from the clothes dryer, removes the foreign matter, and then reinstalls the filter in the clothes dryer.

[0007] However, the cleaning as described above needs to be performed manually by the user, which is not only troublesome, but also cannot be performed every time drying is performed. Therefore, the flow of air is gradually hindered before cleaning is performed, and there may be a problem of not being able to ensure sufficient air volume required for drying.

[0008] As a means to solve this problem, in addition to periodic filter cleaning, filter devices that automatically clean the filter continuously have been developed. Meanwhile, Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0123346 (published on November 15, 2011, titled "Dryer" and hereinafter referred to as "the prior art") discloses a filter assembly including a filter cleaning unit for automatically cleaning the filter.

[0009] Such a filter cleaning unit comprises a brush that cleans lint by contacting the filter and a drive motor for driving the brush. The brush rotates by the rotational force of the drive motor and removes foreign matter on the filter surface by sweeping it.

[0010] However, in the prior art, the filter cleaning unit is installed in the symmetrical filter. Thus, the filter cleaning unit rotates along a circular trajectory or is driven along a symmetrical reciprocating rotation trajectory.

[0011] However, generally, a drum is provided at the center of the main body of the dryer, and a blower fan for causing air flow in the drum is installed on the side of the drum in the main body. This is to minimize the volume of the dryer and efficiently arrange internal components.

[0012] The filter is installed between the drum and the air supply fan on the flow path. Therefore, the air containing foreign matter discharged from the drum and passing through the filter is affected by the air supply fan. As mentioned above, for space efficiency in the dryer, the air supply fan is located on the side of the drum. This also affects the air passing through the filter, causing it to flow to one side.

[0013] Therefore, in conventional symmetrical filters, the area where foreign matter such as lint accumulates is distributed from the center of the filter toward the air supply fan. In particular, in automatic filters, foreign matter that is removed from the filter surface with a brush and accumulated on the bottom surface also tends to be biased to one side, leaving more free space on the other side.

[0014] That is, in the case of conventional symmetrical filters or automatic filters, since the position of the air supply fan is not taken into consideration, the filter cannot be used efficiently, and there is a problem that cleaning is required early or the air volume is reduced early.

Furthermore, the filter unit 700, described below, may be inserted into the mounting portion 138.

[0066] Here, the mounting portion 138 may be provided to connect the inlet 133 and the circulation duct 300. The mounting portion 138 may be provided in a duct shape, with one end thereof being provided in a shape recessed from the inlet 133. Furthermore, the mounting portion 138 may be provided to allow air discharged from the drum 200 to flow in, and the inflowing air may flow into the circulation duct 300 through the mounting portion 138.

[0067] Second support portion 140 may include a second fixing body 141 fixed to the interior of housing 100 and a second supporting body 145 disposed on second fixing body 141 and inserted into the rear surface of drum body 210. Second support portion 140 may include an air inlet 148 extending through second fixing body 141 and connecting the interior of drum body 210 with the interior of housing 100. In this case, circulation duct 300 may be provided to connect mounting portion 138 and air inlet 148.

[0068] In addition, the first support portion 130 may be provided with a first roller 139 that rotatably supports the circumferential surface of the drum body 210 , and the second support portion 140 may be provided with a second roller 149 that rotatably supports the circumferential surface of the drum body.

[0069] On the other hand, the drum body 210 can rotate under the action of the rotational force transmitted from the driving unit 280. The driving unit 280 may include: a motor 230 fixed inside the housing 100; a pulley 250 rotated by the motor; and a belt 270 connecting the circumferential surface of the pulley 250 and the circumferential surface of the drum body 210.

[0070] The circulation duct 300 may include an exhaust duct 310 connected to the mounting portion 138 , a supply duct 330 connected to the air inlet 148 , and a connecting duct 350 connecting the exhaust duct and the supply duct.

[0071] The heat exchange unit 400 may be configured as various devices capable of sequentially dehumidifying and heating the air flowing into the circulation duct 300. For example, the heat exchange unit 400 may be configured as a heat pump system.

[0072] On the other hand, the heat exchange unit 400 may include: a fan 490, which moves air along the circulation duct 300; a first heat exchanger (evaporator) 410, which removes moisture from the air flowing into the circulation duct 300; and a second heat exchanger (condenser) 430, which is arranged inside the circulation duct 300 and heats the air passing through the first heat exchanger 410.

[0073] Here, the fan 490 may include an impeller 491 disposed inside the circulation duct 300 and an impeller motor 493 for rotating the impeller 491. The impeller 491 may be disposed at any of the exhaust duct 310, the connecting duct 350, and the supply duct 330. In the present invention, the case where the impeller 491 is disposed at the supply duct 330 is used as an example for description.

[0074] On the other hand, the first heat exchanger 410 can be configured as a plurality of metal plates arranged along the width direction or the height direction of the connecting pipe 350, and the second heat exchanger 430 can be configured as a plurality of metal plates arranged along the width direction or the height direction of the connecting pipe. The first heat exchanger 410 and the second heat exchanger 430 can be arranged sequentially within the connecting pipe 350 in the direction from the exhaust pipe 310 to the supply pipe 330, and can be connected to each other via a refrigerant pipe 480 that forms a refrigerant circulation path.

[0075] Here, the refrigerant may be moved along the refrigerant pipe 480 by the compressor 450 located outside the circulation pipe 300 , and the refrigerant pipe 480 is provided with a pressure regulator 470 for regulating the pressure of the refrigerant passing through the second heat exchanger 430 .

[0076] On the other hand, the first heat exchanger 410 transfers heat from the air flowing into the exhaust duct 310 to the refrigerant, cooling the air and evaporating the refrigerant. The second heat exchanger 430 utilizes the heat transferred to the air by the refrigerant from the compressor 450 to heat the air and condense the refrigerant. In this case, moisture contained in the air, as it passes through the first heat exchanger 410, is collected along the surface of the first heat exchanger 410 and on the bottom surface of the connecting duct 350. Here, a water collection portion 360 is provided at the lower portion of the circulation duct 300 to collect the water removed from the air passing through the first heat exchanger 410.

[0077] On the other hand, the water collected in the water collecting portion 360 can be collected in the water storage portion 600 so that it can be discharged all at once. The water storage portion 600 can include a storage body 620 that is detachably mounted on the housing 100 and provides a space for storing water; and an inlet 622 that extends through the storage body 620 and allows water discharged from the water storage portion supply pipe 510 to flow into the storage body 620.

[0078] Alternatively, the storage body 620 may be configured as a drawer-shaped box drawn from the housing 100. In this case, a water storage portion mounting hole for inserting the storage body 620 needs to be provided on the front panel 110 of the housing. A panel 610 is fixed to the front of the storage body 620. The panel 610 may be configured to be detachably coupled to the water storage portion mounting hole 138a and to form a portion of the front panel 110.

[0079] On the other hand, a slot 611 for inserting a user's hand may be further provided on the panel 610. In this case, the panel 610 also functions as a handle for leading the storage body 620 out of the box body 100 or inserting it into the box body 100.

[0080] The inlet 622 may be configured to receive water discharged from a nozzle 623 fixed to the housing 100. The nozzle 623 may be fixed to the upper panel 125 of the housing so that the nozzle 623 is located above the inlet 622 when the storage body 620 is inserted into the housing 100.

[0081] On the other hand, in order to minimize the accumulation of foreign matter (hereinafter referred to as "lint") discharged from the drum body 210 in the first heat exchanger 410 and the second heat exchanger 430, the laundry processing apparatus 1 may further be provided with a filter unit 700 for filtering lint in the air.

[0082] The filter unit 700 is a component for filtering air flowing from the drum body 210 into the exhaust duct 310 , and may be detachably inserted into the exhaust duct 310 via the mounting portion 138 .

[0083] Below, refer to Figures 3 and 4 , explain in detail the installation status of the filter unit.

[0084] Figure 3 This is a perspective view showing the installation state of the filter unit of the present invention. Figure 4 This is a perspective view showing the filter portion of the present invention. Figure 5 This is an exploded perspective view showing a filter portion according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0085] like Figure 3 The filter unit 700 is configured to be inserted into the mounting portion 138 formed at the lower portion of the connection body 137 of the first support portion 130. Here, the mounting portion 138 may be configured to penetrate the connection body 137 and communicate with the circulation pipe 300.

[0086] On the other hand, the mounting portion 138 can be provided to connect the inlet 133 and the circulation duct 300 and provide a flow path for the air exhausted from the drum 200 to pass through first. The mounting portion 138 can be provided in a duct shape on the first support portion 130 and can provide a space for accommodating and installing the filter unit 700.

[0087] On the other hand, the filter unit 700 can be mounted on the mounting portion 138 and air can pass therethrough, and can be configured to filter lint and foreign matter contained in the air. Here, the filter unit 700 can include an internal filter 800 that is mounted on the mounting portion 138 and filters foreign matter in the air expelled from the drum 200.

[0088] Here, the internal filter 800 can be mounted on the mounting portion 138 and formed on the inner circumference of the inlet 133. The internal filter 800 is formed so as not to protrude from the inner circumference of the inlet 133 toward the interior of the inlet 133. Furthermore, the internal filter 800 can be configured to have an area or shape corresponding to the inlet shape of the mounting portion 138. This minimizes the gap between the internal filter 800 and the mounting portion 138, preventing foreign matter or parts of clothing from being introduced between the internal filter 800 and the mounting portion 138.

[0089] On the other hand, the filter unit 700 may further include an external filter 900 that is mounted on the mounting portion 138 below the internal filter 800 and filters foreign matter. The external filter 900 may be disposed downstream of the internal filter 800 in the flow path and is configured to additionally filter lint and foreign matter that the internal filter 800 fails to filter out.

[0090] Therefore, the filter unit 700 can more reliably remove foreign matter such as lint in the air discharged from the drum 200. When the external filter 900 is attached to the attachment portion 138, it is not necessary to expose it to the inlet 133.

[0091] On the other hand, the filter unit 700 is supported by the mounting portion 138 , thereby preventing the filter unit 700 from being separated from the circulation duct 300 . Here, at least a portion of the internal filter 800 may be accommodated in the external filter 900 .

[0092] Therefore, the space occupied by the internal filter 800 and the external filter 900 can be minimized, thereby minimizing the volume of the filter unit 700. In addition, the user can be guided to integrally lead out the internal filter 800 and the external filter 900 or simultaneously install them in the installation portion 138.

[0093] On the other hand, the external filter 900 may include: a placement body 910, which is installed on the installation portion 138; and an insertion body 920, which extends downward from the placement body 910, inserts at least a portion of the insertion body 920 into the installation portion 138, and accommodates the accommodating body 820 of the internal filter 800.

[0094] Here, the placement body 910 may include an open surface that allows air and foreign matter to flow in from the top, and the placement body 910 may include a placement base 911 that is placed on and supported by the upper portion of the mounting portion 138. Furthermore, the insertion body 920 may be provided so as to extend downward from the inner circumference of the placement base 911 and be inserted into the mounting portion 138.

[0095] On the other hand, the insert body 920 can be configured in a box shape, providing a space inside to store foreign matter.

[0105] The receiving body 820 may be configured in a box shape having an inner space, extending from the lower portion of the supporting body 810 and providing a space for accumulating foreign matter therein.

[0106] On the other hand, the accommodating body 820 may include: a first accommodating body 821, which extends from the lower part of the supporting body 810 and filters foreign matter; and a second accommodating body 823, which is rotatably or detachably arranged at the lower part of the first accommodating body 821 and forms a space for accumulating foreign matter together with the first accommodating body 821.

[0107] Here, the first container body 821 and the second container body 823 are rotatable or detachable to each other, thereby opening the interior of the container body 820. Therefore, the user can remove foreign matter filtered by the first container body 821 and the second container body 823 and accumulated in the container body 820.

[0108] The first container body 821 is provided with a first outer frame 8210 extending from the lower portion of the support body 810 and forming a grid. A plurality of first curved ribs 8212 are formed inside the first outer frame 8210, extending parallel to the radius of rotation of the compression portion 860 (described later). Furthermore, first radial ribs 8211 are formed inside the first outer frame 8210, intersecting the first curved ribs 8212 and extending parallel to the extension direction of the compression portion 860.

[0109] Here, a plurality of spaces are formed using the first arcuate ribs 8212 and the first radial ribs 8211 formed on the inner side of the first outer frame 8210 , and a first mesh portion 8215 for filtering lint contained in the air flowing in through the support body 810 may be provided in each space.

When the auxiliary filter 850 is disposed between the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823, the first auxiliary filter ribs 8213 may be in contact with one side surface of the auxiliary filter 850 and closely adhere to the auxiliary filter 850.

[0111] Among them, the first auxiliary filter rib 8213 and the second auxiliary filter rib 8233 are connected to the two side surfaces of the auxiliary filter 850 in the longitudinal direction, so that the auxiliary filter 850 is tightly attached between the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823, thereby preventing the air flowing into the internal filter 800 and the lint contained in the air from flowing out from between the auxiliary filter 850 and the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823.

[0112] Furthermore, a first auxiliary filter support portion 8210a for fixing the auxiliary filter 850 may be formed on the inner side of the first outer frame 8210 connected to the first auxiliary filter rib 8213. The first auxiliary filter support portion 8210a may protrude inward from the first outer frame 8210 and be inserted into a fastening groove 855 formed in the auxiliary filter 850.

[0113] The second housing body 823 is provided with a second outer frame 8230 extending from the lower portion of the support body 810 and forming a grid. A plurality of second curved ribs 8232 are formed inside the second outer frame 8230, extending parallel to the radius of rotation of the compression portion 860 (described later). Furthermore, second radial ribs 8231 are formed inside the second outer frame 8230, intersecting the second curved ribs 8232 and extending parallel to the direction in which the compression portion 860 extends.

[0114] Here, a plurality of spaces are formed by the second arc ribs 8232 and the second radial ribs 8231 formed on the inner side of the second outer frame 8230 , and a second mesh portion 8235 for filtering lint contained in the air flowing in through the support body 810 may be provided in each space.

[0115] On the other hand, a plurality of second curved ribs 8232 may be formed parallel to the rotation radius of the compression portion 860, and the outermost ribs of the plurality of second curved ribs 8232 may be configured as second auxiliary filter ribs 8233 for supporting the auxiliary filter 850. When the auxiliary filter 850 is disposed between the second accommodating body 823 and the second accommodating body 823, the second auxiliary filter ribs 8233 may be in contact with the other side surface of the auxiliary filter 850 and closely adhere to the auxiliary filter 850.

[0116] In addition, a second auxiliary filter support portion 8230a for fixing the auxiliary filter 850 may be formed inside the second outer frame 8230 connected to the second auxiliary filter rib 8233. The second auxiliary filter support portion 8230a may protrude inward from the second outer frame 8230 and be inserted into the fastening groove 855 formed in the auxiliary filter 850.

[0117] On the other hand, hinge ribs 824 may be provided at the lower portion of the first container body 821 and the lower portion of the second container body 823 to connect the first container body 821 and the second container body 823. Thus, the first container body 821 and the second container body 823 can be rotatably coupled together with the hinge ribs 824 serving as an axis. A plurality of such hinge ribs 824 may be provided to connect the lower portion of the first outer frame 8210 of the first container body 821 and the lower portion of the second outer frame 8230 of the second container body 823.

[0118] Furthermore, the hinge rib 824 can be configured to house and support the support rib 853 of the auxiliary filter 850. Specifically, when the first container body 821 and the second container body 823 are coupled together, the hinge rib 824 can be formed to connect the first container body 821 and the second container body 823 in a curved shape, and the support rib 853 of the auxiliary filter 850 can be positioned inside the curved surface of the hinge rib 824 and fixed between the first container body 821 and the second container body 823.

[0119] On the other hand, not only the receiving body 820 but also the supporting body 810 may be configured to be separable. The portion of the supporting body 810 coupled to the first receiving body 821 and the portion coupled to the second receiving body 823 may be configured to be detachable from each other.

[0120] The auxiliary filter 850 is secured to the lower inner portions of the first and second accommodating bodies 821 and 823 and is used to filter lint contained in the air flowing from the support body 810 into the accommodating body 820 and moving toward the lower inner portion of the accommodating body 820. Auxiliary filter 850 will be described in detail later, after the compression unit is described, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0121] The compression unit 860 can rotate and move in the filtering space formed by the first and second accommodating bodies 821 and 823 and compress the lint filtered by the first grid portion 8215 of the first and second grid portions 8235 of the second accommodating bodies 821 and 823 to both sides of the filtering space and move and collect the lint.

[0122] On the other hand, a moving groove 814 for moving the compression part 860 along the length direction of the support body 810 may be formed on one side of the support body 810 , and the compression part 860 may move along the moving groove 814 and be configured to be rotatable along the length direction of the filtration space.

[0123] Here, the moving groove 814 may extend along the length direction of the support body 810 along the open surface 812 of the inner filter 800 and be formed in an arc shape corresponding to the shape of the open surface 812 .

[0124] On the other hand, the compression portion 860 includes: a rotating portion 862, which is fastened to be able to slide along the shape of the movable groove 814 and is partially exposed to the outside of the movable groove 814 formed on the supporting body 810, and a brush portion 871 is fastened to the lower part of the rotating portion 862; and a brush portion 871, which is detachably fastened to the rotating portion 862, extends downward toward the inside of the filter space and captures the lint filtered by the mesh portion of the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823.

[0125] Here, the rotating portion 862 is configured to reciprocate in a fan-shaped manner inside the accommodating body 820 along the movable groove 814 of the support body 810. Such a rotating portion 862 is formed with a rotating handle 864, a guide groove (not shown), and a brush fastening portion 867. The upper portion of the rotating handle 864 passes through the movable groove 814 of the support body 810 and extends toward the upper portion of the open surface 812. The guide groove is movably fastened to the movable groove 814 formed in the support body 810 and guides the rotating portion 862 to rotate in an arc shape. The brush fastening portion 867 is located inside the accommodating body 820 and is fastened to the brush portion 871.

[0126] As the user grasps the rotating handle 864 and moves it, such a rotating portion 862 can rotate in an arc shape along the formation direction of the moving groove 814, and the brush portion 871 fastened to the brush fastening portion 867 can rotate in a fan shape and move the lint captured by the first grid portion 8215 of the first accommodating body 821 and the second grid portion 8235 of the second accommodating body 823 to both sides of the accommodating space.

[0127] On the other hand, the brush portion 871 can be fastened to the brush fastening portion 867 to be coupled and move in conjunction with the rotation of the rotating portion. Furthermore, the brush portion 871 can include an insertion portion 872 fastened to the brush fastening portion 867, a brush body 874 extending from the lower portion of the insertion portion 872 toward the filtration space of the internal filter 800, and a plurality of brushes disposed on the brush body 874.

[0128] Here, the inserting portion 872 of the brush portion 871 can be detachably fastened to the brush fastening portion inside the internal filter, and after the compression portion 860 is used for a long time, the aged or damaged brush portion 871 can be replaced.

[0129] Here, the insertion portion 872 is formed in a shape corresponding to the insertion space of the brush fastening portion 867 , and a brush body 874 is extended at the lower portion to extend toward the filtering space formed by the first and second accommodating bodies 821 and 823 of the inner filter 800 .

[0130] On the other hand, the brush body 874 is formed to have: one side facing the first grid portion 8215 of the first accommodating body 821; the other side facing the second grid portion 8235 of the second accommodating body 823; and a bottom surface facing the auxiliary filter grid portion 856 of the auxiliary filter 850.

[0131] A first brush 875 connected to the first grid portion 8215 of the first accommodating body 821 may be provided on one side of such a brush body 874, a second brush 876 connected to the second grid portion 8235 of the second accommodating body 823 may be provided on the other side, and a third brush 877 connected to the auxiliary filter grid portion 856 of the auxiliary filter 850 may be provided on the bottom side.

[0132] On the other hand, the first brush 875, the second brush 876 and the third brush 877 of the above-mentioned brush body 874 can be formed as a whole by insert injection molding when manufacturing the brush body 874. Different from this, each of the first brush 875, the second brush 876 and the third brush 877 can also be individually and detachably attached to the brush body 874.

[0133] On the other hand, the first brush 875 and the second brush 876 can be as follows Figure 11 As shown, the brush body 874 is formed to extend toward the inner side surfaces of the first and second accommodating bodies 821 and 823. As the compression unit 860 rotates, the first and second brushes 875 and 876 can move the filtered lint on the surfaces of the first mesh portion 8215 of the first accommodating body 821 and the second mesh portion 830 of the second accommodating body 823 to both sides of the internal filter 800.

[0134] In addition, the third brush 877 of the brush body 874 may move the filtered lint on the surface of the auxiliary filter mesh portion 856 of the auxiliary filter 850 to both sides of the inner filter 800 as the compression portion 860 rotates.

[0135] On the other hand, the brush portion 871 can elastically support the rotating portion 862 toward the auxiliary filter 850. That is, although not shown, the brush fastening portion 867 of the rotating portion 862 can be further provided with an additional tension spring (not shown) that elastically supports the insertion portion 872 of the brush portion 871 toward the auxiliary filter 850.

[0136] That is, the insertion portion 872 of the brush portion 871 can be fastened to the brush fastening portion 867 of the rotating portion 862 in a manner that allows it to move radially along the rotating portion 862, and a tension spring can be provided between the brush fastening portion 867 and the insertion portion 872 to elastically support the insertion portion 872 in a direction separated from the brush fastening portion 867.

[0137] Therefore, as the rotating part 862 of the compression part 860 rotates, the brush body 874 of the brush part 871 rotating together with the rotating part 862 can pressurize the auxiliary filter mesh part 856 of the auxiliary filter 850 and capture the filtered lint of the auxiliary filter 850 on both sides of the rotational movement direction of the compression part 860.

[0138] Hereinafter, the auxiliary filter 850 inserted and fixed between the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823 of the inner filter as described above will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0139] Figure 8 This is a perspective view showing an auxiliary filter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 This is a front view showing an auxiliary filter according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 10 1 is a top view of an auxiliary filter according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0140] like Figure 8 As shown, the auxiliary filter 850 may include an auxiliary filter frame 852 , which corresponds to the shape of the inner side surfaces of the first and second accommodating bodies 821 and 823 and has an auxiliary filter mesh portion 856 disposed therein.

[0141] Here, the auxiliary filter mesh portion 856 provided to the auxiliary filter 850 may be provided with a grid having meshes of a different size from the mesh portions formed in the first and second accommodating bodies 821 and 823 .

[0142] On the other hand, the auxiliary filter 850 also has an auxiliary filter frame 852 and an auxiliary filter grid portion 856. The auxiliary filter frame 852 is located in the lower space formed by the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823 when the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823 are fastened, and the auxiliary filter grid portion 856 is arranged in the lower open space of the auxiliary filter frame 852.

[0143] Here, the auxiliary filter frame 852 is formed in a rectangular shape with upper and lower portions opened. The auxiliary filter frame 852 is formed to be able to be placed between lower portions of the first and second receiving bodies 821 and 823 .

[0144] Furthermore, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 852a are formed inside the auxiliary filter frame 852 to maintain its shape. A plurality of support ribs 853 may be formed at the bottom of the auxiliary filter frame 852. These support ribs 853 support the auxiliary filter 850 via the hinge rib 824 connecting the first container body 821 and the second container body 823. The support ribs 853 may extend from the bottom of the reinforcing rib 852a toward the hinge rib 824. Therefore, the reinforcing ribs 852a, support ribs 853, and hinge ribs 824 may be formed in equal numbers.

[0145] On the other hand, the auxiliary filter 850 and the auxiliary filter mesh portion 856 can be formed into a curved surface having a predetermined curvature to correspond to the rotation radius of the brush portion 871 described later. In other words, the movable groove 814 to which the brush portion 871 is movably coupled can be formed into an arc shape centered on the inlet 133.

[0146] Therefore, the brush portion 871 movably fastened to the moving groove 814 can rotate along the curvature of the moving groove 814. That is, the brush portion 871 rotating along the moving groove 814 can rotate to have a fan-shaped rotation area inside the accommodating body 820.

[0147] On the other hand, when the auxiliary filter mesh portion 856 is formed in a straight line, the brush portion 871 having a fan-shaped rotation area cannot remove lint by the brush portion 871 outside the rotation radius. Figure 9 As shown, the auxiliary filter mesh portion 856 is preferably formed to have a predetermined curvature R1 corresponding to the rotation radius of the brush portion 871 .

[0148] Therefore, when the brush portion 871 of the compression portion 860 rotates with the movement of the rotating portion 862, the third brush 877 located at the lower portion of the brush portion 871 moves along the curvature R1 of the auxiliary filter mesh portion and moves and collects the lint filtered by the auxiliary filter mesh portion 856 to both sides of the auxiliary filter 850.

[0149] On the other hand, the auxiliary filter frame 852 can be fixed between the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823. To this end, a first auxiliary filter support portion 8210a for the auxiliary filter frame 852 to rest on can be formed inside the first outer frame 8210 of the first accommodating body 821, and a second auxiliary filter support portion 8230a for the auxiliary filter frame 852 to rest on can be formed inside the second outer frame 8230 of the second accommodating body 823.

[0150] Furthermore, fastening portions 854 for receiving the first auxiliary filter support portion 8210a and the second auxiliary filter support portion 8230a, respectively, are formed at both ends of the auxiliary filter frame 852 in the longitudinal direction. Here, the first auxiliary filter support portion 8210a, the second auxiliary filter support portion 8230a, and the fastening portions 854 may be formed in a structure fastened to each other. When the first auxiliary filter support portion 8210a and the second auxiliary filter support portion 8230a are formed in a protruding shape, the fastening portions 854 may be formed with fastening grooves 855 for receiving the first auxiliary filter support portion 8210a and the second auxiliary filter support portion 8230a, respectively.

[0151] On the other hand, when the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823 are fastened together, the auxiliary filter 850 is fastened so as to be disposed between the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823. At this time, if a gap is generated between the auxiliary filter 850 and the first accommodating body 821 or the auxiliary filter 850 and the second accommodating body 823, air flowing into the internal filter and lint contained in the air may flow through the gap between the auxiliary filter 850 and the first accommodating body 821 or the auxiliary filter 850 and the second accommodating body 823.

[0152] Therefore, it is necessary to prevent a gap from being formed between the auxiliary filter 850 and the first container body 821 or between the auxiliary filter 850 and the second container body 823. The longitudinal side surfaces of the auxiliary filter frame 852 may be formed to bulge toward the first container body 821 and the second container body 823 with a predetermined curvature.

[0153] That is, Figure 10 As shown, the two side surfaces in the length direction of the auxiliary filter frame 852 can be formed to protrude toward the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823 with a specified curvature R2, respectively, and the center side of the auxiliary filter 850 can be formed to be wider than the interval between the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823 on which the auxiliary filter 850 is provided.

[0154] Therefore, the auxiliary filter 850 arranged between the first accommodating body 821 and the second accommodating body 823 is arranged between the first auxiliary filter rib 8213 of the first accommodating body 821 and the second auxiliary filter rib 8233 of the second accommodating body 823, and the convex shape formed with a prescribed curvature on both sides of the length direction of the auxiliary filter 850 is tightly attached to the first auxiliary filter rib 8213 and the second auxiliary filter rib 8233, thereby preventing the air flowing into the internal filter and the lint contained in the air from flowing out.

[0155] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, those skilled in the art may implement the present invention through various modifications or by combining the various components of the various embodiments included in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined in the claims. Therefore, changes to the embodiments of the present invention will not deviate from the technology of the present invention.
