Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a garment processing device. More specifically, this disclosure relates to a garment processing device that can remove foreign objects such as dust by applying physical force to hanging garments. Background Technology

[0002] Clothing processing equipment refers to devices developed for washing and drying clothes and removing wrinkles from clothes at home and in laundromats. Concepts categorized as clothing processing equipment include washing machines for washing clothes, dryers for drying clothes, washer-dryers that combine washing and drying functions, garment managers that refresh clothes, and steamers for removing wrinkles from clothes, etc.

[0003] Recently, clothing handling devices corresponding to clothing managers have emerged, which allow clothes to remain comfortable and clean without having to soak them in water and wash them with detergent.

[0004] A garment processing device has emerged that performs a renewal cycle by supplying high-temperature air or steam to the garments to deodorize, dry, and remove wrinkles.

[0005] A garment processing device capable of performing a renewal cycle can agitate garments while supplying them with hot air or steam to remove fine dust or foreign matter adhering to them. See Korean Patent No. 10-1285890.

[0006] Figure 1 The structure for making clothes swing in an existing garment handling device is shown.

[0007] The mobile garment hanger of the existing garment handling equipment includes: a support rod 2, which is disposed in a receiving space for hanging clothes; a hanging part 3, which extends downward from the support rod 2 so that clothes can be hung; and a drive 5, which can swing the support rod 2.

[0008] The driver 5 may include a motor 51 fixed to the support rod 2 to rotate the rotating shaft 53, and the driver 5 may include an eccentric shaft 55 connected to the rotating shaft 53 to rotate along a trajectory larger than the rotation diameter of the rotating shaft 53.

[0009] The support rod 2 may have a reciprocating motion inducer 4, which is mounted at the center to house an eccentric shaft and receive power. The eccentric shaft 55 may move with the rotation of the rotating shaft 53 while being coupled to the reciprocating motion inducer 4, so that the reciprocating motion inducer 4 reciprocates in the left-right direction.

[0010] The eccentric shaft 55 can be rotated by being connected to the far end of the connecting shaft 52, which is connected to the far end of the rotating shaft 53.

[0011] Figure 2 The structure shows the support rod moving in the left-right direction.

[0012] The reciprocating motion inducer 4 may include a slit 41 defined in the thickness direction of the support rod 2 to accommodate an eccentric shaft 55 therein.

[0013] Reference Figure 2 In (a), the eccentric shaft 55 can be inserted into the slit 41 and rotate along an arc trajectory with a radius of R from the rotation axis 53.

[0014] The support rod 2 can be fixed in the garment processing equipment so that it can only move in the left and right directions, but not forward or backward.

[0015] Reference Figure 2 In (b), when the eccentric shaft 55 rotates 90 degrees to the right, the slit 41 can move to the right along with the eccentric shaft 55 by R because the eccentric shaft 55 moves to the right. As a result, the support rod 2 moves to the right.

[0016] In this way, when the eccentric shaft 55 rotates 180 degrees to the left, the slit 41 will move to the left, and the support rod 2 will also move to the left.

[0017] When the rotating shaft 53 rotates once, the support rod 2 can reciprocate once in the left-right direction. In addition, when the rotating shaft 53 rotates continuously, the support rod 2 reciprocates multiple times in the left-right direction.

[0018] As a result, the clothes hanging on the suspension part 3 extending from the support rod 2 swing in the left and right directions, thereby removing foreign objects or dust.

[0019] However, because the support rod 2 reciprocates in the left-right direction in this existing garment processing equipment, the entire garment processing equipment vibrates strongly due to the rapid application of inertial force whenever the support rod 2 changes its direction of movement.

[0020] In particular, as the number or weight of garments suspended on the suspension section 3 increases, the amount of vibration increases, which in turn makes it impossible to guarantee the stability of the garment handling equipment.

[0021] In addition, in existing garment processing equipment, the greater the vibration, the greater the noise generated, causing the garment processing equipment to make noise every time it is operated, and the use of garment processing equipment is limited at night and other times.

[0022] Figure 3 The status of the driver output loss in the existing garment processing equipment is shown.

[0023] Furthermore, even when the drive 5 is able to provide sufficient output, existing garment handling equipment cannot utilize the maximum output of the drive 5 because the vibration generated by the reciprocating motion of the support rod 2 exceeds the reference value.

[0024] In addition, the mobile garment hanger in the reciprocating motion scheme of existing garment handling equipment cannot fully receive the rotational force of the driving force of the driver 5.

[0025] Specifically, the slit 41 of the support rod 2 of the movable clothes hanger can transmit the force of the eccentric shaft 55 rotating to the left or right to the clothes, but it cannot transmit the force of the eccentric shaft 55 rotating backward or forward to the clothes and dissipate the force.

[0026] Specifically, when the eccentric shaft 55 is positioned at positions I and III, the slit 41 can receive the forces moving to the left and right without changing its position.

[0027] However, when moving from position I to position II and from position III to position IV, the force transmitted by the eccentric shaft 55 that causes the slit 41 to move left and right decreases sharply.

[0028] This is because the force that moves the slit 41 by the eccentric shaft 55 corresponds only to the cosine of the rotation direction of the eccentric shaft 55. Therefore, when the eccentric shaft 55 is at a position of 90 degrees and 270 degrees relative to the rotation center, the force transmitted from the eccentric shaft 55 to the slit 41 corresponds to 0.

[0029] That is, the driver 5 continuously transmits power to the eccentric shaft 55, but the eccentric shaft 55 can only transmit a portion of the power to the slit 41, and at certain points it cannot transmit power at all.

[0030] As a result, in existing garment handling equipment, most of the power of the drive 5 is lost and not transmitted to the garments. Therefore, existing garment handling equipment has the following problems: even if the drive 5 has sufficient output to make the garments swing, it will not transmit enough swinging force to the garments, or the drive 5 must operate with excessive output to transmit enough swinging force to the garments.

[0031] Therefore, the fundamental problem with existing garment handling equipment is that it does not transmit sufficient oscillation force from the drive 5 to the garment, resulting in poor performance in removing foreign objects or dust attached to the garment.

[0032] In addition, since the support rod 2 is arranged in the width direction and the suspension part 3 is also fixed to the support rod 2, the existing garment processing equipment cannot directly transmit the rotational force generated by the driver 5 to the support rod 2. Utility Model Content

[0092] In the following, embodiments disclosed herein will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Throughout this document, even in different embodiments, the same or similar components are assigned the same or similar reference numerals, and the description of the same or similar components is replaced by the first description. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, singular expressions used herein include plural expressions. Furthermore, in describing embodiments disclosed herein, detailed descriptions of related known techniques will be omitted where it is determined that such detailed descriptions might obscure the gist of the disclosed embodiments. Additionally, it should be noted that the accompanying drawings are intended only to facilitate an easy understanding of the disclosed embodiments, and the technical concepts disclosed herein should not be construed as being limited by the drawings.

[0093] Figure 4 The appearance of the garment processing apparatus disclosed herein is shown.

[0094] Reference Figure 4 The garment handling apparatus disclosed herein may include a housing forming its exterior and a door pivotally connected to the housing.

[0095] refer to Figure 4 An inner shell (which has a receiving space for holding clothing therein) may be disposed inside the housing. The inner shell may include an opening defined in its front surface through which clothing enters and exits, and the opening may be concealed by a door.

[0096] The inner shell can be made of a plastic resin-based material, and can also be made of a reinforced plastic resin-based material that will not deform even when exposed to air at temperatures above room temperature or heated air (hereinafter, hot air), steam or moisture.

[0097] The inner shell can have a height greater than its width. Therefore, clothing can be stored in the storage space without being folded or wrinkled.

[0098] The clothing handling device disclosed herein may include a hanger 900, which can hang clothing in the receiving space of the inner shell.

[0099] The hanger 900 can be mounted on the top surface of the inner shell and can be placed on the hanging part 700 for hanging clothes. The hanger 900 can be detachably mounted on the hanging part 700.

[0100] When the garment is hung on the hanging part 700, the garment can be set up in a state where it is suspended in the air within the containing space.

[0101] The garment handling apparatus disclosed herein may also include a pressure unit that can be coupled to the inner surface of a door to secure the garment.

[0102] The pressure device may include: a pressure surface disposed on the inner surface of a door; and a pressure panel that may be pivotally connected to the pressure surface and can apply pressure to clothing disposed on the pressure surface. The pressure device may primarily apply pressure to long garments (such as bottoms) to remove wrinkles and may also create desired creases.

[0103] The garment processing equipment disclosed herein may have a machine room in which various devices are installed that can supply at least one of hot air and steam to the housing space or purify or dehumidify the air outside the housing.

[0104] The machine room can be set up separately from or separated from the inner shell, but it can be connected to the inner shell.

[0105] The machine compartment can be located below the inner shell. Therefore, when hot air and steam with a low specific gravity are supplied to the inner shell, the hot air and steam can be naturally supplied to the clothing.

[0106] The machine room may include: a circulation duct that circulates air within the inner shell; and multiple heat exchangers disposed on the circulation duct to cool and condense the air and heat the air.

[0107] The machine room may be equipped with a heat pump system, which includes a compressor that can be connected to multiple heat exchangers and can compress refrigerant to cool or heat air.

[0108] In one example, the machine room may also be equipped with a steam supply that can supply steam to the inner shell.

[0109] The steam supply heats water to generate steam. As a result, clothing housed inside the inner shell is exposed to hot air and steam, thus enabling deodorization, sterilization, and wrinkle reduction.

[0110] A water tank (which supplies water to generate steam) and a drain tank (which collects condensate from the circulating pipes) can be included in the front of the machine room.

[0111] The water tank and drain tank can be detachably installed in the front of the machine room. Therefore, even when the garment handling equipment of this disclosure is not located near a water source or drain, the user can disassemble and move the water tank and drain tank when necessary.

[0112] Water tanks and drain tanks can be arranged in parallel along the width of the machine room.

[0113] Additionally, the machine room may include drawers in which items needed for managing clothing are stored. The drawers may be configured to extend from the machine room, and the interior of the drawers may define space for storing items such as irons.

[0114] A mounting base can be provided inside the inner shell, and a separate shelf can be placed on the mounting base. The mounting base can protrude from the two side surfaces of the inner shell at the same vertical height.

[0115] The mounting base may include a light emitter that illuminates light into the inner shell, and the light emitter may illuminate the inner surface of the inner shell to prevent glare.

[0116] In one example, the clothing handling apparatus of this disclosure may also include a movable clothes hanger 100 that shakes a clothes hanger 900 to remove foreign objects and dust from clothing hanging on the clothes hanger 900.

[0117] The mobile clothes hanger 100 can be configured to operate when at least one of hot air and steam is supplied to the clothes, thereby inducing the removal of foreign matter attached to the clothes by the hot air or steam.

[0118] The movable clothes hanger 100 can be configured to reciprocate the clothes hanger 900 and remove dust from the clothes.

[0119] Figure 5 An embodiment of the mobile garment hanger 100 of the garment handling apparatus of this disclosure is shown.

[0120] The mobile clothes hanger 100 may include: a clothes hanger 900 on which clothes are hung; a hanging part 700 which mounts the clothes hanger 900 inside the inner shell; and a power transmitter 400 which supports the hanging part 700 inside the inner shell and actuates the hanging part 700.

[0121] The power transmitter 400 may include a plurality of power transmitters arranged spaced apart from each other along the width of the inner housing, and each suspension portion 700 may be coupled to and secured to the lower part of each power transmitter 400.

[0122] The movable clothes hanger 100 may include a displacement generator 300, which connects to a drive 200 of a power transmitter 400 to transmit power generated from the drive 200 to the power transmitter 400.

[0123] Specifically, the driver 200 may include a motor 210 that generates power and a rotating shaft 240 that rotates through the motor 210.

[0124] The rotating shaft 240 can be arranged along the width direction of the inner shell, and one end of it can be rotated by the motor 210, while the other end of it can be connected to a support base that is rotatably supported.

[0125] The power transmitter 400 can be positioned along the length of the rotating shaft 240 and can easily receive power from the rotating shaft 240.

[0126] The displacement generator 300 can be connected to the rotating shaft 240, and can receive power from the rotating shaft 240 and transmit the power to the power transmitter 400.

[0127] The displacement generator 300 can rotate together with the rotating shaft 240 and may include a number of displacement generators corresponding to the number of power transmitters 400, each of which is connected to the power transmitter 400.

[0128] In one example, when the rotating shaft 240 is exposed inside the inner shell, clothing may come into contact with the rotating shaft 240 and the clothing may be damaged, and when a user grasps the rotating shaft 240, there may be risks such as user injury or electric shock.

[0129] Therefore, preferably, the entire rotating shaft 240 is prevented from being exposed inside the inner shell, or at least the lower end of the rotating shaft 240 is prevented from being exposed inside the inner shell.

[0130] Therefore, the movable clothes hanger 100 may also include a support member 800 disposed at the lower end of the rotation shaft 240.

[0131] The support member 800 can be formed as a metal plate disposed in the length direction of the rotation axis 240 or the width direction of the inner shell, and can be fixed to and supported by a frame disposed outside the inner shell and inside the housing.

[0132] The rotating shaft 240 can rotate above the support 800, and the hanging part 700 and the hanger 900 can be arranged below the support 800.

[0133] As a result, accidents such as clothing getting tangled in the rotating shaft 240 can be prevented, and users located below the support 800 can be prevented from gripping the rotating shaft 240.

[0134] In one example, the power transmitter 400 may be configured to extend through the support 800 and may be positioned in the height direction of the inner shell.

[0135] The power transmitter 400 may have: an upper part disposed above the support 800 and adjacent to the rotating shaft 240 or the displacement generator 300; and a lower part disposed below the support 800 and exposed to the receiving space of the inner shell.

[0136] The support 800 can be located above the top surface of the inner shell and can support the rotating shaft 240 outside the inner shell.

[0137] The driver 200 may allow the motor 210 to directly rotate the rotating shaft 240. However, in order to prevent damage to clothing by reducing the RPM of the rotating shaft 240 while utilizing the maximum output of the motor 210, the driver 200 may include a transmitter 230 that connects the motor 210 to the rotating shaft 240.

[0138] For example, motor 210 can rotate drive shaft 220, drive shaft 220 can rotate parallel to rotation shaft 240, and transmitter 230 may include: belt 233 connected to drive shaft 220; and drive pulley 232 spaced apart from drive shaft 220, having a diameter larger than the diameter of drive shaft 220 and connected to belt 233.

[0139] Transmitter 230 may also include a drive pulley 231 connected to the outer peripheral surface of drive shaft 220 to rotate belt 233, thereby strengthening the connection between belt 233 and drive shaft 220.

[0140] The rotating shaft 240 can be connected to the rotation center of the drive pulley 232 and rotate together with the drive pulley 232.

[0141] The motor 210 and the transmitter 230 can also be fixed to and supported by the support member 800. The support member 800 can support the load of the entire mobile clothes hanger 100.

[0142] The displacement generator 300 can receive power from the rotating shaft 240 while being coupled to and rotating together with the rotating shaft 240. The displacement generator 300 can generate a change in position (displacement) that can move the power transmitter 400 from the rotational motion of the rotating shaft 240, which is simply rotating in a fixed position.

[0143] For example, the displacement generator 300 may be formed as a disk shape that is connected to and rotates on the rotating shaft 240, but it may also rotate while being connected at an angle to the diameter direction of the rotating shaft 240, or it may have an outer peripheral surface that is set at an angle to the diameter direction of the rotating shaft 240.

[0144] Therefore, when the displacement generator 300 rotates in the first direction, the outer peripheral surface of the displacement generator 300 can rotate about an imaginary axis that is inclined relative to the rotation axis 240.

[0145] The power transmitter 400 can contact the outer peripheral surface of the displacement generator 300, such that the mounting tilt of the power transmitter 400 can change whenever the tilt of the outer peripheral surface of the displacement generator 300 changes based on the rotation axis 240.

[0146] For example, the power transmitter 400 can rotatably support the two side surfaces of the displacement generator 300, but has a fixed vertical mounting height. Therefore, when the displacement generator 300 rotates in the first direction, the power transmitter 400 can reciprocate in the left-right direction based on the rotation axis 240. Consequently, the hanging part 700 and the clothes hanger 900 connected to the power transmitter 400 can also reciprocate in the left-right direction based on the power transmitter 400. Therefore, clothes hanging on the clothes hanger 900 can reciprocate in the left-right direction to shake off dust.

[0147] Figure 6 An embodiment of the power transmitter and displacement generator is shown.

[0148] The power transmitter 400 may include a connector 440 that extends through the support 800 and is coupled to two side surfaces of the displacement generator 300.

[0149] The connector 440 can be positioned vertically and supported by the support member 800.

[0150] The suspension part 700 can be connected and fixed to the lower part of the connector 440.

[0151] The power transmitter 400 may also include an auxiliary support 420 disposed below the connector 440 and having a cross-sectional area or width larger than that of the connector 440.

[0152] The auxiliary support 420 can be attached to the lower part of the connector 440 and can extend further downward to ensure the area available for the suspension 700 to be attached.

[0153] The suspension 700 may include: a connecting body 710, which is connected to one surface of the auxiliary support 420; and a bolt fixing member 720, which is connected to the other surface of the auxiliary support 420.

[0154] The support member 800 may include a support plate 810, through which a connector 440 extends.

[0155] The connector 440 can be mounted on the support plate 810 via the support bearing 460 described below and is rotatably supported on the support plate 810.

[0156] The support plate 810 may include a support hole 820, through which a connector 440 extends, and on which a support bearing 460 may be mounted and supported.

[0157] The connector 440 can be supported by the support bearing 460 so that it can rotate in the left and right direction, but prevents the connector 440 from changing its position or tilt in the up and down direction, front and back direction, etc.

[0158] The displacement generator 300 may include a rotating body 350 connected to the rotating shaft 240 and a contact portion 360 disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350 and in contact with the connector 440.

[0159] The rotating body 350 may be formed in the shape of a cylinder or a disk and may include a shaft connection portion 351 configured such that the rotating shaft 240 extends through its inner side.

[0160] The diameter of the rotating body 350 can be larger than the diameter of the rotating shaft 240.

[0161] Whenever the tilt of the contact portion 360 changes, the connector 440 can rotate in the left and right directions while maintaining its vertical height, because the two upper ends of the connector 440 are in contact with the contact portion 360.

[0162] Figure 7 The detailed structure of the power transmitter and displacement generator is shown.

[0163] The rotating shaft 240 may include: a shaft body 241, which rotates via a transmitter 230; and a shaft groove 242 in which a clamp 370 is disposed, the clamp 370 being disposed on the shaft body 241 and fixing the rotating body 350.

[0164] The gap between the shaft grooves 242 can correspond to the thickness of the rotating body 350.

[0165] The rotating body 350 may include a shaft connection portion 351 through which the rotating shaft 240 extends, and the shaft connection portion 351 may include a reinforcing step 3511 having a circular inner circumferential surface but protruding or recessing inward to enhance the connection force with the rotating shaft 240.

[0166] The rotating shaft 240 may include a connecting step 243 at a position between the shaft grooves 242, which can be connected to the reinforcing step 3511.

[0167] The contact portion 360 may include a receiving groove 361 that is recessed around the circumference of the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350.

[0168] The receiving groove 361 can form a closed curve along the circumference of the rotating body 350.

[0169] The connector 440 may include a penetrating body 441 that penetrates the support 800 and a clamping portion 442 that extends from the upper part of the penetrating body 441 to two side surfaces of the rotating body 350.

[0170] The penetrating body 441 can be formed in a cylindrical or tubular shape, allowing the connector 440 to rotate easily in the left-right direction.

[0171] The clamping portion 442 may include: a first clamping portion 4421 extending from the upper part of the penetrating body 441 toward one side surface of the rotating body 350; and a second clamping portion 4422 extending from the upper part of the penetrating body 441 toward the other side surface of the rotating body 350.

[0172] The first clamping portion 4421 and the second clamping portion 4422 can be configured to extend from the penetrating body 441 to have the same height, and the rotating shaft 240 and the rotating body 350 can be disposed between them.

[0173] The first clamping portion 4421 and the second clamping portion 4422 can extend from the penetrating body 441 to a vertical height corresponding to or higher than the vertical height of the rotation axis 240.

[0174] In one example, when the first clamping portion 4421 and the second clamping portion 4422 are able to contact the two surfaces of the contact portion 360, they can extend to a vertical height lower than the vertical height of the rotation axis 240.

[0175] The clamping portion 442 may include an insertion protrusion 443 that can be inserted into and contact the receiving groove 361.

[0176] The insertion protrusion 443 may have a width corresponding to the width of the receiving groove 361, and may have any thickness, as long as it can contact the two surfaces of the receiving groove 361 when the rotating body 350 rotates.

[0177] When the rotating body 350 rotates, the insertion protrusion 443 can slide in the receiving groove 361.

[0178] The insertion protrusion 443 can cause the clamping portion 442 to rotate around the support 800 based on the inclination of the receiving groove 361.

[0179] The insertion protrusion 443 may protrude into the interior of the clamping portion 442 or toward the rotating body 350, may be integrally formed with the clamping portion 442, and may be fixed by being connected to the clamping portion 442.

[0180] The insertion protrusions 443 can protrude from the inner surfaces of the first clamping portion 4421 and the second clamping portion 4422 respectively, and multiple insertion protrusions 443 can be set at corresponding vertical heights.

[0181] The auxiliary support 420 can be connected to the lower part of the penetrating body 441.

[0182] A thread 4411 may be provided at the lower part of the penetrating body 441. The thread 4411 is connected to the support member 424. The support member 424 can be fastened to the auxiliary support member 420 and can support the auxiliary support member 420.

[0183] The penetrating body 441 can be rotatably supported by a support bearing 460 mounted on a support member 800.

[0184] The auxiliary support 420 can be located below the support bearing 460.

[0185] The auxiliary support 420 may include: a first auxiliary body 4211, which is arranged parallel to the support 800 and can extend through the penetrating body 441; and a second auxiliary body 4212, which extends downward from the first auxiliary body 4211 and can be connected to the suspension part 700.

[0186] The suspension part 700 may include a connecting body 710 connected to one surface of the second auxiliary body 4212 and a bolt fastener 720 connected to the other surface of the second auxiliary body 4212.

[0187] The second auxiliary body 4212 may include a placement body 423, a connecting body 710 and a bolt fixing member 720, which are placed on at least one of the surfaces of the placement body 423.

[0188] When the fastening member passes through the connecting body 710, the bolt fixing member 720, and the second auxiliary body 4212, the connecting body 710 and the bolt fixing member 720 can be firmly connected to the second auxiliary body 4212.

[0189] The connecting body 710 may include, on its upper part: a ring mounting body 712 in which the ring of the hanger 900 is mounted; and a first protruding rib 711 and a second protruding rib 714 protruding from the upper part of the connecting body 710 to prevent the ring mounting body 712 from deviating.

[0190] The connecting body 710 may include a fastening portion 713, which allows a fastening member to extend through and be disposed within the fastening portion 713.

[0191] Figure 8 The position of the receiving groove changes as the rotating body rotates.

[0192] The receiving groove 361 may be inclinedly defined in the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350 and may be defined along the circumference of the rotating body 350.

[0193] Therefore, the rotation center of the receiving groove 361 can be defined as not aligned with the rotation axis 240.

[0194] As a result, the position of the receiving groove 361 can change when the rotating body 350 rotates. Specifically, the positions of the two ends of the protruding ring 362 can change from a predetermined position when the rotating body 350 rotates.

[0195] refer to Figure 8 In (a) of the top view of the rotating body 350, when the rotating body 350 rotates, firstly, the left side of the receiving groove 361 can be set on the front side, and its right side can be set on the rear side.

[0196] refer to Figure 8 In (b), when the rotating body 350 rotates 180 degrees, the left side of the receiving groove 361 can be set on the rear side, and its right side can be set on the front side.

[0197] refer to Figure 8 In (c), when the rotating body 350 rotates 360 degrees, the receiving groove 361 can return to its original position.

[0198] When this process is repeated, the two ends of the receiving groove 361 can rotate in the left and right directions based on the rotating body 350.

[0199] Figure 9 The top view of the mobile clothes hanger shows the operating status of the power transmitter and displacement generator.

[0200] Figure 9 (a) shows the arrangement of the power transmitter 400 and the receiving tank 361 based on the rotating body.

[0201] Although the receiving groove 361 is defined obliquely along the circumference based on the rotating body 350, there is a point where the rotation diameter of the rotating body 350 and the rotation diameter of the receiving groove 361 meet each other.

[0202] Therefore, when the receiving groove 361 is located at the point where its rotation diameter meets the rotation diameter of the rotating body 350, the receiving groove 361 can be defined as a diametrical direction parallel to the rotation axis, as shown in the first figure.

[0203] Therefore, the insertion protrusion 443 inserted into the receiving groove 361 can also be arranged parallel to the diameter direction of the rotating shaft 240, and the connector 440 can be arranged at a position corresponding to the diameter direction of the rotating shaft.

[0204] When the rotating body 350 rotates 90 degrees, the receiving groove 361 also rotates, and the receiving groove 361 is defined to be inclined relative to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350. For example, as shown, the front side of the receiving groove 361 moves to the right side, and its rear side moves to the left side.

[0205] As a result, the insertion protrusion 443 inserted into the receiving groove 361 also rotates accordingly, allowing the connector 440 to rotate counterclockwise.

[0206] When the rotating body 350 rotates 180 degrees, the receiving groove 361 rotates further, so that the two side surfaces of the receiving groove 361 are set parallel to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350. As a result, the insertion protrusion 443 inserted into the receiving groove 361 also rotates accordingly, so that even if it is rotated slightly clockwise, the connector 440 can be set parallel to the diameter direction of the rotating shaft 240.

[0207] When the rotating body 350 rotates 270 degrees, the receiving groove 361 rotates further, such that the receiving groove 361 is defined as inclined relative to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350. For example, as shown, the front side of the receiving groove 361 moves to the left and the rear side moves to the right.

[0208] As a result, the insertion protrusion 443 inserted into the receiving groove 361 also rotates accordingly, causing the connector 440 to rotate clockwise.

[0209] Figure 9 (b) shows the state of the hanger 900 based on the change in the tilt of the receiving slot 361.

[0210] When the extension directions on both sides of the receiving groove 361 are defined as parallel to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240, the insertion protrusion 443 is also set parallel to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240.

[0211] Therefore, connector 440 is also arranged parallel to the diameter direction of rotating body 350 or rotating shaft 240, and hanger 900 is also arranged parallel to the diameter direction of rotating body 350 or rotating shaft 240.

[0212] However, when the receiving groove 361 rotates and the extension directions on both sides are defined as inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240, the insertion protrusion 443 is also inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240.

[0213] As a result, the connector 440 is also inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240, and the hanger 900 is also inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240.

[0214] In this regard, such as Figure 9 As shown in (a), the extension directions on both sides of the receiving groove 361 change in a counterclockwise and clockwise reciprocating manner based on the rotation of the rotating body 350, so that the power transmitter 400, the suspension part 700 and the clothes hanger 900 can also rotate counterclockwise and clockwise.

[0215] Figure 10 The rotational state of the power transmitter 400 is shown.

[0216] The power transmitter 400 rotates clockwise and counterclockwise via the receiving groove 361 and the insertion protrusion 443 provided on the clamping portion 442 without changing its position around the penetrating body 441.

[0217] Therefore, the hanging part 700 and the clothes hanger 900 only rotate back and forth in the left and right directions without changing their position around the penetrating body 441. Thus, vibration can be minimized when the movable clothes hanger 100 is in operation. Furthermore, even when the rpm of the drive 200 is further increased, the vibration and noise generated by the movable clothes hanger 100 do not increase significantly.

[0218] Figure 11 Another embodiment of the mobile clothes hanger 100 is shown.

[0219] Apart from connector 440 and displacement generator 300, the movable clothes hanger 100 may have the same structure as the embodiments described above.

[0220] The displacement generator 300 may include a rotating body 350 connected to the rotating shaft 240, and may include a contact portion 360 disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350 and capable of contacting the connector 440.

[0221] The contact portion 360 can protrude outward from the rotating body 350, and the clamping portion 442 of the connector 440 can accommodate at least a portion of the contact portion 360 therein and rotatably support at least a portion of the contact portion 360.

[0222] The contact portion 360 may protrude along the circumference of the rotating body 350 and may be inclined relative to the diametrical direction of the rotating body 350 or the diametrical direction of the rotating shaft 240.

[0223] Figure 12 It shows Figure 11 Detailed structure of the mobile clothes hanger 100.

[0224] The rotating body 350 may be formed in the shape of a cylinder or disk that is connected to and rotates on the rotating shaft 240. The contact portion 360 may include a protruding ring 362, which is formed as an annulus that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350.

[0225] The protruding ring 362 can be formed as the width of the rotating body 350 decreases as the rotating body 350 extends from the shaft connection portion 351 toward the outer peripheral surface.

[0226] In addition, the protruding ring 362 can be formed to protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350.

[0227] In any case, the protruding ring 362 may have a smaller width or width at the rotating body 350 than at the shaft connection portion 351.

[0228] In one example, the protruding ring 362 may be formed with a uniform width along the circumference of the rotating body 350.

[0229] The connector 440 can be rotatably supported on the support bearing 460 through the support hole 820 of the support member 800. The connector 440 can be configured to contact both sides of the protruding ring 362 and can rotatably support both sides of the protruding ring 362.

[0230] The connector 440 can support the protruding ring 362 to slide, and can rotate in the left and right directions depending on the position of the protruding ring 362.

[0231] The connector 440 can rotate the auxiliary support 420, the suspension part 700 and the hanger 900 as a whole while supporting the auxiliary support 420, the suspension part 700 and the hanger 900.

[0232] Figure 13 The detailed structure of the movable clothes hanger is shown.

[0233] To avoid redundant descriptions, the description will focus on parts that are different from those in the above embodiments.

[0234] The contact portion 360 includes a protruding ring 362 that protrudes obliquely relative to the axis of rotation along the circumference of the rotating body 350.

[0235] The rotating body 350 can have a diameter much larger than its thickness.

[0236] The thickness of the shaft connection portion 351 of the rotating body 350 can be much greater than the thickness of the protruding ring 362.

[0237] The protruding ring 362 may have a constant thickness along the outer circumferential surface of the rotating body 350 and may be arranged at an angle relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350.

[0238] Connector 440 may include a housing body 445 that houses at least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of protruding ring 362.

[0239] The mounting body 445 can accommodate the entire surface of the protruding ring 362 so that the connector 440 can rotate along the change in the inclination of the protruding ring 362.

[0240] That is, the mounting body 445 can clamp both surfaces of the protruding ring 362 based on the length direction of the rotation axis 240.

[0241] The mounting body 445 can be formed at the free end of the clamping portion 442.

[0242] The main body 445 can also be integrated with the clamping part 442.

[0243] However, in order to enhance the formability of the mounting body 445, the mounting body 445 can be fixed by connecting it to one end of the clamping portion 442.

[0244] The clamping portion 442 may include a first clamping portion 4421 extending from one side of the penetrating body 441 to the protruding ring 362 and a second clamping portion 4422 extending from the penetrating body 441 to the other side of the protruding ring 362.

[0245] The mounting body 445 can be formed as multiple parts to be connected to the first clamping portion 4421 to accommodate the protruding ring and to the second clamping portion 4422 to accommodate the protruding ring.

[0246] The free ends of the first clamping portion 4421 and the second clamping portion 4422 can be positioned at the same vertical height.

[0247] The connector 440 may also include a support groove 444 defined at the distal or free end of the clamping portion 442, and the mounting body 445 may be secured to the support groove 444.

[0248] The support groove 444 can be defined by the distal recess of the clamping portion 442, so that a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the placement body 445 can be inserted and placed.

[0249] The mounting body 445 can protrude from the support groove 444 into the inside of the clamping portion 442, so that one surface of the mounting body 445 contacts the protruding ring 362.

[0250] Therefore, the support groove 444 can be defined such that the surface facing the inside of the clamping portion 442 is open.

[0251] The first clamping portion may include a first support groove 4441 at the distal end of the first clamping portion, and the placement body is placed in the first support groove 4441. The second clamping portion may include a second support groove 4442 at the distal end of the second clamping portion, and the placement body is placed in the second support groove 4442.

[0252] Figure 14 The detailed structure of the protruding ring and the mounting body is shown.

[0253] Figure 14 Image (a) shows the structure of the protruding ring. Figure 14 (b) shows the structure of the placement body.

[0254] The protruding ring 362 can be formed as the thickness of the rotating body 350 decreases as the rotating body 350 approaches the outer peripheral surface.

[0255] The rotating body 350 may include: a shaft connection portion 351 that is connected to and supports the rotating shaft 240; a first inclined surface 352 that extends from one surface of the shaft connection portion 351 to a protruding ring 362; and a second inclined surface 353 that extends from another surface of the shaft connection portion to the protruding ring.

[0256] Since the protruding ring 362 is inclined relative to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350 or the diameter direction of the rotating shaft 240, the width of the first inclined surface 352 and the second inclined surface 353 from the shaft connection portion 351 to the protruding ring 362 can vary along the circumference of the rotating body 350.

[0257] In other words, the width of the first inclined surface 352 and the width of the second inclined surface 353 vary along the circumference of the rotating body 350.

[0258] Furthermore, the width of a portion of the first inclined surface 352 on one side of the shaft connection portion 351 in the rotating body 350 is different from the width of a portion of the first inclined surface 352 on the other side, and the width of a portion of the second inclined surface 353 on one side is different from the width of a portion of the second inclined surface 353 on the other side.

[0259] The first inclined surface 352 and the second inclined surface 353 can be point-symmetric to each other with respect to the center of the shaft connection portion 351.

[0260] The placement body 445 may include: a fixing body 4451, which is placed in and fixed to the clamping portion; and a placement support 4452, which protrudes from the fixing body 4451 to contact the outer peripheral surface of the protruding ring 362.

[0261] The support portion 4452 can be formed as a bend, such that its exposed surface supports each of the two sides of the outer peripheral surface of the protruding ring 362.

[0262] The thickness of the support part 4452 can be greater than the thickness of the fixed body 4451.

[0263] The mounting body 445 may include a mounting hole 4453 extending through the mounting body 4451. The mounting hole 4453 may be configured such that a fastening member extending through and connected to the support groove 444 passes through the mounting hole 4453.

[0264] Figure 15 The top view of the mobile clothes hanger shows the operating status of the power transmitter and displacement generator.

[0265] Figure 15 (a) shows the arrangement of the power transmitter 400 and the protruding ring 362 based on the rotating body.

[0266] The protruding ring 362 can be obliquely disposed on the outer circumferential surface of the rotating body 350, and can be disposed along the circumference of the rotating body 350. Therefore, the rotation center of the protruding ring 362 can be disposed off from the rotation axis 240.

[0267] As a result, the position of the protruding ring 362 can change when the rotating body 350 rotates.

[0268] Specifically, when the rotating body 350 rotates, the positions of the two ends of the protruding ring 362 can change from a predetermined position.

[0269] The protruding ring 362 is formed obliquely along the circumference relative to the rotating body 350, but there is a point where the rotation diameter of the rotating body 350 and the rotation diameter of the protruding ring 362 meet each other.

[0270] Therefore, when the protruding ring 362 is located at the point where its rotation diameter meets the rotation diameter of the rotating body 350, the receiving groove 361 can be defined in a diametrical direction parallel to the rotation axis, as shown in the first figure.

[0271] Therefore, the mounting body 445 that accommodates and supports at least a portion of the protruding ring 362 can also be arranged parallel to the diameter direction of the rotation shaft 240, and the connector 440 can be arranged at a position corresponding to the diameter direction of the rotation shaft.

[0272] When the rotating body 350 rotates 90 degrees, the protruding ring 362 also rotates, and the protruding ring 362 is inclined relative to the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body 350. For example, as shown in the figure, the front side of the protruding ring 362 moves to the right side, and its rear side moves to the left side.

[0273] As a result, the mounting body 445 of the supporting protruding ring 362 also rotates accordingly, allowing the connector 440 to rotate counterclockwise.

[0274] When the rotating body 350 rotates 180 degrees, the protruding ring 362 rotates further, so that the two side surfaces of the protruding ring 362 are arranged parallel to the outer circumferential surface of the rotating body 350. As a result, the mounting body 445 supporting the protruding ring 362 also rotates accordingly, so that the connector 440 can rotate slightly clockwise and be arranged parallel to the diameter direction of the rotation axis 240.

[0275] When the rotating body 350 rotates 270 degrees, the protruding ring 362 rotates further, causing the protruding ring 362 to be inclined relative to the outer circumferential surface of the rotating body 350. For example, as shown in the figure, the front side of the protruding ring 362 moves to the left and its rear side moves to the right.

[0276] As a result, the mounting body 445 of the supporting protruding ring 362 also rotates accordingly, causing the connector 440 to rotate clockwise.

[0277] Figure 15 (b) shows the state of the hanger 900 based on the change in the inclination of the receiving slot 361.

[0278] When the extension directions of both sides of the protruding ring 362 are defined as parallel to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240, the mounting body 445 is also set parallel to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240.

[0279] Therefore, connector 440 is also arranged parallel to the diameter direction of rotating body 350 or rotating shaft 240, and hanger 900 is also arranged parallel to the diameter direction of rotating body 350 or rotating shaft 240.

[0280] However, when the protruding ring 362 rotates and the extension directions on both sides are defined as inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240, the mounting body 445 is also inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240.

[0281] Therefore, the connector 440 is also inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240, and the hanger 900 is also inclined relative to the diameter direction of the rotating body 350 or the rotating shaft 240.

[0282] In this regard, such as Figure 15 As shown in (a), the extension directions of the two sides of the protruding ring 362 change in a counterclockwise and clockwise reciprocating manner based on the rotation of the rotating body 350, so that the power transmitter 400, the suspension part 700 and the hanger 900 can also reciprocate in a counterclockwise and clockwise manner.

[0283] Figure 16 The rotational state of the power transmitter 400 is shown.

[0284] The power transmitter 400 does not change its position centered on the penetrating body 441, and rotates clockwise and counterclockwise via the protruding ring 362 and the mounting body 445 disposed on the clamping portion 442.

[0285] Therefore, the hanging part 700 and the clothes hanger 900 only rotate back and forth in the left and right directions without changing their position around the penetrating body 441. Thus, vibration can be minimized when the movable clothes hanger 100 is in operation. Furthermore, even when the rpm of the drive 200 is further increased, the vibration and noise generated by the movable clothes hanger 100 do not increase significantly.
