Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clothing treatment device, and more particularly to a clothing treatment device capable of treating small clothing items in a concentrated manner. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, a clothing treatment device is a concept that includes a washing machine that wets clothing with water to form a compress and then removes foreign matter through the chemical action of detergent and physical action such as drum rotation, and a dryer that dries the dampened clothing using hot air and steam.

[0003] However, in recent years, clothing care machines have emerged that keep dry clothes comfortable and clean without wetting them. These clothing care machines supply steam or hot air to the clothes while they are hung up, deodorizing the clothes and performing a refresh process that dries or sterilizes the clothes.

[0004] Such clothes care machines are also capable of selectively adding fragrance to clothes, and in recent years have become an important part of clothes treatment devices, along with washing machines and dryers.

[0005] According to Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2020-0057545, a conventional clothing processing device includes a cabinet that forms the exterior and an inner case that is provided inside the cabinet and in which clothing is hung.

[0006] The clothing treatment device may include a circulation duct at a lower part of the inner case for circulating air inside the inner case, a heat exchanger provided in the circulation duct for exchanging heat with the air, and a compressor for supplying high-temperature refrigerant to the heat exchanger. When the compressor is driven, hot air is supplied to the inner case, thereby raising the temperature inside the inner case and drying or sterilizing the clothes.

[0007] On the other hand, conventional clothing processing devices include a rack inside the inner case on which small clothing items such as dolls, hats, and shoes can be placed.

[0008] In order to process small clothes placed on the rack, hot air or steam is unnecessarily supplied to the upper space inside the inner case, resulting in a decrease in efficiency.

[0009] Therefore, there is a need for a clothing treatment device that can supply hot air or steam intensively only to the small clothing items.

[0010] Therefore, there is a need to provide a clothing treatment device that can separate the space in which the small clothing is placed. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0082] Inside the machine chamber 300, components may be arranged to supply hot air to the clothing treatment space, circulate air within the clothing treatment space, supply steam to the clothing treatment space, and purify the air outside the cabinet.

[0083] The machine room 300 may include a base 310 having a space for supporting or installing various devices. The base 310 may provide an area where various devices are installed.

[0084] The base part 310 may be provided with a circulation duct 320 through which air introduced from the outside of the inner case 200 or the cabinet 100 moves.

[0085] The circulation duct 320 may be provided in the form of a case with an open top, and some components of the heat supply unit 340 may be installed inside the circulation duct 320.

[0086] When the heat supply unit 340 is configured as a heat pump system, the circulation duct 320 may include heat exchangers 341 and 342, which will be described later, and a compressor 342 that supplies high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant to the heat exchangers.

[0087] The heat exchangers 341 and 342 are housed in the circulation duct 320 and may cool and dehumidify the air flowing through the circulation duct 320, or may heat the air to generate hot air.

[0088] When the circulation duct 320 is configured to draw air from the outside of the cabinet 100, an external air duct 370 for drawing external air may be installed in front of the circulation duct 320.

[0089] The circulation duct 320 is provided to communicate with the outside air duct 370 and can be provided to selectively draw in outside air.

[0090] The water supply tank and the drainage tank may be detachably coupled to the front surface of the circulation duct 320. The water supply tank 3 and the drainage tank 4 may be disposed on the upper part of the outside air duct 370.

[0091] The circulation duct 320 may be configured to be connected to the base part 310, or may be configured integrally with the base part 310. For example, the base part 310 and the circulation duct 320 are manufactured by injection molding.

[0092] The machine room 300 may include a base cover 360 configured to communicate the circulation duct 320 with the inlet hole 231 .

[0093] The base cover 360 may be coupled to an upper portion of the circulation duct 320 and configured to guide the air drawn in through the inlet 231 into the circulation duct 320 .

[0094] The base cover 360 may cover an upper surface of the circulation duct 320 to prevent the air inside the circulation duct 320 from being discharged to the outside. The lower part of the base cover 360 and the upper surface of the circulation duct 320 may form one surface of a flow path of the circulation duct 320.

[0095] The base cover 360 may include an inlet 362 connecting the inlet hole 231 and the circulation duct 320. The inlet 362 may be configured in a duct shape and may serve as an intake duct for sending air from inside the inner case 200 to the circulation duct 320.

[0096] The machine chamber 300 may include a steam supplier 800 connected to the water tank 3, which receives water, generates steam, and supplies the steam to the inner case 200. The steam supplier 800 may be disposed by being seated on the upper part of the base cover 360.

[0097] The steam supply unit 800 may be disposed behind the inlet unit 362 .

[0098] The machine room 300 may include a fan installation unit 350 configured to communicate between the circulation duct 320 and the inner case 200. The fan installation unit 350 may include a blower fan 353 that provides power for moving air in one direction inside the circulation duct 320, and a fan housing 351 that houses the blower fan 353 and is coupled to or extended from the circulation duct 320.

[0099] The fan installation unit 350 may include an exhaust duct 352 configured to communicate the circulation duct 320 with the exhaust hole 232 .

[0100] The exhaust duct 352 may be provided extending from the fan housing 351 toward the exhaust hole 232 with a cross section corresponding to the area of ​​the exhaust hole 232 .

[0101] As a result, the air inside the inner case 200 flows in through the base cover 360, passes through the circulation duct 320, and then passes through the fan installation part 350 and is supplied back into the inner case 200.

[0102] Meanwhile, the base part 310 may include a compressor installation part 313 in which the compressor 342 is installed to supply refrigerant to the heat exchangers 341 and 343. The compressor installation part 313 may be disposed outside the circulation duct 320.

[0104] The base part 310 may include a control part installation part 313 that forms a space in the lower part of the circulation duct 320 into which the control part C is inserted.

[0105] The control unit C may be configured to control all electronically controlled components such as the compressor 342, the steam supply unit 800, and the blower fan 353.

[0106] The control unit C is inserted into and supported by the base unit 310, thereby absorbing vibrations and shocks applied to the control unit C. In addition, the control unit C is disposed close to all electronic components, thereby minimizing the occurrence of control errors such as noise.

[0107] Furthermore, a steam supply unit is disposed at the upper part of the circulation duct 320, and a control unit C is disposed at the lower part of the circulation duct 320. Therefore, the circulation duct 320 may be configured as a straight duct between the steam supply unit 800 and the control unit C. This can minimize the flow resistance of air passing through the circulation duct 320.

[0108] The base part 310 may include the circulation duct 320, the outside air duct 370, the steam supply part 800, the control part C, and the heat supply part 340 in a modular form.

[0109] As a result, the base part 310 can be pulled out forward or backward from the machine room 300, facilitating installation and maintenance.

The control unit installation part 313 may be configured in the shape of a duct that is open at either the front or rear at the bottom of the circulation duct 320.

[0125] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the structure of the circulation duct of the clothing treatment device of the present invention.

[0126] The circulation duct 320 may extend upward from the bottom of the base to form a flow path for air to flow through. The circulation duct 320 may include a heat exchanger installation part 3212 that provides a space for installing an evaporator 341 and a condenser 343. The heat exchanger installation part 3212 may be provided inside the duct body 321.

[0127] The duct body 321 may have an open upper surface, and a condenser 343 and an evaporator 341 may be inserted and installed through the opening of the duct body 321.

[0128] The opening of the duct body 321 can be covered by the base cover 360 , and the base cover 360 and the duct body 321 can form a flow path of the circulation flow path 320 .

[0129] The front surface of the duct body 321 may be spaced rearward from the front end of the base bottom 311 .

[0130] As a result, the base bottom 311 can secure a support surface 3111 on which one or more of the water supply tank 3, the drainage tank 4, and the outside air duct 370 are installed and supported.

[0131] Meanwhile, the heat supply unit 340 may include an evaporator 341, which is a heat exchanger installed inside the circulation duct 320 and cools and dehumidifies the air flowing into the circulation duct 320, a condenser 343, which is a heat exchanger that heats the air that has passed through the evaporator 341 to form hot air, a compressor 342, which is installed outside the circulation duct 320 and supplies a refrigerant to the condenser 343 to exchange heat with the air, and an expansion valve 344, which expands and cools the refrigerant that has passed through the condenser 343.

[0132] Meanwhile, since the duct body 321 is integrally formed with the base part 310, the height of the heat exchanger installation part 3212 can be further ensured, and the heights of the condenser 343 and the evaporator 341 can also be increased.

[0133] As a result, the width of the condenser 343 and the evaporator 341 in the front-to-rear direction can be reduced, and the number of refrigerant pipes passing through the condenser and the evaporator can be reduced, which has the effect of reducing the flow loss of air passing through the condenser and the evaporator.

[0134] Meanwhile, the sum of the lengths of the evaporator 341 and the condenser 343 may be shorter than the length of the heat exchanger installation part 3212. Thus, the length of the heat exchanger installation part 3212 in the front-rear direction may be equal to or less than half the length of the duct body 321.

[0135] Therefore, since the heat exchanger installation part 3212 can be sufficiently spaced from the outside air intake part 322, a sufficient space can be secured for the outside air and the air inside the inner case 200 to flow into the circulation duct 320.

[0136] Meanwhile, the inside of the duct body 321 may include an installation partition 3211 that separates the heat exchanger installation part 3212 from the outside. The installation partition 3211 may be provided to protrude from a side surface of the duct body 321 to support the front of the evaporator 341.

[0137] In addition, the duct body 321 may be extended rearward by increasing its width based on the installation partition wall 3211 .

[0138] As a result, the width of the heat exchanger installation portion 3212 may be greater than half the width of the base portion 310. Also, the width of the circulation duct 320 may be greater than half the width of the base portion 310.

[0139] The width of the condenser 343 and the width of the evaporator 341 may also be greater than half the overall width of the base portion 310 .

[0140] As described above, by ensuring the widths of the condenser 343 and the evaporator 341, there is an effect that a sufficient heat exchange capacity can be ensured.

[0141] In addition, the fan housing 350 may be disposed to overlap the condenser 343 or the evaporator 341 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the air that has passed through the evaporator 341 and the condenser 343 can flow into the fan housing 350 without bending its flow path. That is, the air that has flowed into the circulation duct 320 does not bend its flow path while moving to the fan housing, which minimizes flow loss.

[0142] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating the shape of the circulation duct of the clothing treatment device of the present invention.

[0143] The base part 310 may be formed by integrally molding the base bottom part 311 and the circulation channel 320 through injection molding.

[0144] The mold for molding the inner surface of the duct body 321 can be removed by being pulled upward from inside the duct body 321. At this time, to facilitate the removal of the mold, the wall surface of the duct body 321 may be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to the mold removal direction.

[0145] The width of the lower surface 321a of the duct body 321 may be greater than the width of the upper surface 321b of the duct body 321.

[0146] Specifically, the distance between the opposing wall surfaces of the duct body 321 may be increased as it moves away from the base bottom 311. The distance between the left and right sides of the opposing circulation channels may be increased along the mold removal direction, which facilitates mold removal.

[0147] Meanwhile, the air discharge part 323 may include an air extension pipe 3231 extending from the rear of the duct body 321 with a decreasing diameter or width, and an air discharge pipe 3232 extending from the air extension pipe 3231 in the shape of a pipe with a uniform diameter and having a hollow 3233 therein. The air extension pipe 3231 functions as a nozzle and can increase the speed of the discharged air.

[0148] In addition, the mold for forming the air discharge part 323 can be removed as shown in the above drawing. It can be pulled forward from the inside of the air discharge part 323 toward the inside of the circulation channel 320 and then removed toward the upper open surface of the circulation channel 320. In this process, the mold can be formed with a structure that makes it easy to pull out.

[0149] FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view of the circulation duct.

[0150] The installation partition 3211 may be protruded inward from the inner wall of the duct body 321, or may be formed by recessing the outer wall of the circulation duct inward.

[0151] The heat exchanger installation part 3212 may be formed between the heat exchanger installation partition 3211 and the air discharge part 323 .

[0152] The mold for forming the air discharge part 323 can be removed by pulling it out to the front of the air discharge part 323 and then pulling it out upward. When the mold for forming the air discharge part 323 is pulled out to the front from inside the air discharge part 323, it is necessary to prevent it from interfering with the heat exchanger installation partition wall. To this end, the design dimensions of the air discharge part 323 can be adjusted.

[0153] Specifically, when molding the air exhaust portion 323, a mold for molding the front side and a mold for molding the rear side based on the parting line 3233 of the air exhaust portion 323 in the drawing may be provided separately. Accordingly, the molds may be removed in different directions. The mold for molding the portion located in front based on the parting line of the air exhaust portion 323 may be pulled forward, and the mold for molding the portion located in the rear based on the parting line of the air exhaust portion 323 may be pulled backward.

[0154] That is, in order to prevent the mold being pulled forward from interfering with the heat exchanger installation partition wall during the pulling process, distance 1 (323a) in the drawing may be smaller than distance 2 (321c). Distance 1 (323a) may refer to the distance between the parting line of air discharge part 323 and the front end of air discharge part 323. Distance 1 (323a) may also refer to the distance between the parting line of air discharge part 323 and the rear opening of the circulation duct. Distance 2 (321c) may refer to the distance between the front end of air discharge part 323 and the heat exchanger installation partition wall. Distance 2 (321c) may also refer to the distance between the rear opening of the circulation duct and heat exchanger installation partition wall 3211.

[0155] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing the structure of the air discharge section 323 of the clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0156] The base portion 310 may include an air outlet 323 that discharges treated air toward a fan housing.

[0157] The air discharge part 323 may be provided inside the circulation duct 320 or may communicate between the duct body 321 and the fan housing 350. The air discharge part 323 may have a bell mouth shape, which reduces air flow loss and improves air circulation efficiency.

[0158] The air exhaust pipe 3232 of the air exhaust part 323 is provided in a pipe shape, and in the mold removal process based on the parting line 3233, the mold disposed in front of the parting line 3233 can be pulled forward, and the mold disposed behind the parting line 3233 can be pulled backward.

[0159] The fan installation part 350 may be coupled to and supported by the air exhaust pipe 3232. The fan housing 351 may have a coupling hole coupled to an outer circumferential surface of the air exhaust pipe 3232, and the blower fan 353 may be disposed in the coupling hole.

[0160] The fan housing 351 may include an exhaust duct 352 extending from the outer circumferential surface or outside of the blower fan 353 to the exhaust hole 232 .

[0161] The fan housing 351 and the exhaust duct 352 accommodate the blower fan 353 therein and form a flow path through which air can move.

[0162] A motor for rotating the blower fan 353 may be coupled to and supported on the outside of the fan housing 351 .

[0163] 9 is a diagram showing the structure of the base cover of the clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0164] The base cover 360 may be coupled to an upper surface of the circulation duct 320 to prevent the inside of the circulation duct 320 from being exposed.

[0165] The base cover 360 is coupled to the upper surface of the circulation duct 320 and may include an inlet body 361 that connects the inner case 200 and the circulation duct 320, and a shielding body 363 that extends from the inlet body 361 and shields the circulation duct 320.

[0166] The inflow body 361 may be provided in a duct shape to communicate the inflow hole 231 of the inner case 200 with the inside of the circulation duct 320. The inflow body 361 may be provided to protrude further upward than the shielding body 363.

[0167] The inflow body 361 may be disposed forward of the evaporator 341 so as not to face the evaporator 341 and the condenser 343 , and may be disposed forward of the partition wall 3211 .

[0168] The inflow body 361 may serve as an inflow duct that transfers air from the inner case 200 to the circulation duct 320 .

[0169] An inlet 362 through which air in the inner case 200 can pass may be provided inside the inlet body 361 .

[0170] Specifically, the base cover 360 may include a first rib 362a extending along the width direction of the inlet body 361 and a second rib 362b spaced rearward from the first rib 362a and extending along the width direction of the inlet body 361.

[0171] The first rib 362a and the second rib 362b may be provided in parallel. The first rib 362a and the second rib 362b may be provided in the shape of a plate extending vertically, and the height thereof may correspond to the height of the inflow body 361.

[0172] The front end of the inlet body 361 and the first rib 362a may form a first inlet portion 3621, the first rib 362a and the second rib 362b may form a second inlet portion 3623, and the second rib 362b and the rear end of the inlet body 361 may form a third inlet portion 3622.

[0173] The first inlet portion 3621 and the third inlet portion 3622 may have the same area, and the second inlet portion 3623 may have an area smaller than that of the first inlet portion 3621 and the third inlet portion 3622.

[0174] The base cover 360 may include a damper part 364 provided to open and close the inlet 362, and a driver 365 coupled to the damper part 364 to control the opening and closing of the damper part 364.

[0175] The damper part 364 may include a first damper part 3641 provided to open and close the first inlet part 3621 , and a second damper part 3642 provided to open and close the third inlet part 3622 .

[0176] The first damper part 3641 is provided in a plate shape having an area corresponding to the first inlet part 3621 and may be rotatably coupled to both sides of the inlet body 361 inside the first inlet part 3621 .

[0177] The second damper part 3642 is provided in a plate shape having an area corresponding to the third inlet part 3622 and may be rotatably coupled to both sides of the inlet body 361 inside the third inlet part 3622 .

[0178] The second inlet 3623 may be provided with a blocking filter 366 that allows air to pass through but filters out foreign matter such as fine dust and lint.

[0179] The blocking filter 366 may be inserted into the second inlet 3623 to separate the first inlet 3621 and the third inlet 3622. The blocking filter 366 may be disposed to extend from the second inlet 3623 to contact the bottom surface of the circulation duct 320.

[0180] The blocking filter 366 may be a filter capable of filtering out even water, such as a HEPA filter.

[0181] Meanwhile, a shielding member for shielding the second inlet 3623 by inserting the blocking filter 366 may be further coupled to the second inlet 3623 .

[0182] The driving unit 365 may include a motor that supplies power to selectively rotate the first damper unit 364 and the second damper unit 365, and a plurality of gear members that rotate in mesh with the motor to selectively rotate the first damper unit 364 and the second damper unit 365.

[0183] The first inlet 3621 and the third inlet 3622 can be selectively opened by the driving part 365 .

[0184] The air accommodated inside the inner case 200 by the driving part 365 may flow into the inside of the circulation duct 320 along the first inlet part 3621, or may flow into the inside of the circulation duct 320 along the third inlet part 3622.

[0185] Of course, the driving unit 365 may control the first damper unit 3641 and the second damper unit 3642 to open both the first inlet unit 3621 and the third inlet unit 3622, or may control the first damper unit 3641 and the second damper unit 3642 to block both the first inlet unit 3621 and the third inlet unit 3622.

[0186] The driving unit 365 may have any structure as long as it can rotate the first damper unit 3641 and the second damper unit 3642. For example, it may be provided as a combination of a motor, a driving gear rotated by the motor, and a driven gear coupled to the first damper unit and the second damper unit and rotated by the rotation of the driving gear.

[0187] The base cover 360 may include a shielding body 363 extending from the inlet body 361 to shield the evaporator 341 and the condenser 343. The shielding body 363 may be provided in a plate shape.

[0188] The base cover 360 may be detachably coupled to the upper surface of the circulation duct 320 via an inlet hook 3612 extending from the lower surface of the inlet body 361 .

[0189] The circulation duct 320 may have a coupling portion that is detachably coupled to the inlet hook 3612 .

[0190] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the structure of an outside air duct.

[0191] Referring to FIG. 10( a ), the outside air duct 370 may be coupled to the base 310 .

[0192] The outside air duct 370 may be provided to communicate with the outside air intake portion 322 .

[0193] The fresh air duct 370 may include an fresh air damper 373 that opens and closes the fresh air intake portion 322, and an fresh air driver 374 that rotates the fresh air damper 373 and controls the fresh air intake portion 322 to selectively open.

[0194] The external air damper 373 may be provided in a plate shape capable of sealing the external air intake part 322 and may be rotatably coupled to both sides of the external air intake part 322 .

[0195] The outside air driving part 374 is coupled to the outside air duct 370 or the circulation duct 320 and may be provided as an actuator for rotating the outside air damper 373 .

[0196] The fresh air duct 370 may include an extension duct 372 extending forward from the fresh air intake portion 322 in front of the fresh air intake portion 322, and an intake duct 371 extending forward from the extension duct 372 to allow fresh air to flow in.

[0197] The air intake duct 371 may be installed by extending from the lower part of the extension duct 372, and a water supply tank 3 and a water drainage tank 4 may be disposed on the upper part. The water supply tank 3 and the water drainage tank 4 may be connected to or seated on the air intake duct 371.

[0198] The intake duct 371 may include an outside air port 3711 at one end or a free end through which outside air is taken in, and a partition rib 3712 provided to partition the outside air port 3711 .

[0199] The outside air vent 3711 may be disposed below the door 20 so as not to be blocked by the door 20 .

[0200] The partition rib 3712 may be provided to partition the inside of the air vent 3711 and to prevent foreign objects or the user's body from being introduced.

[0201] Referring to FIG. 10(b), when the outside air driving part 374 rotates the outside air damper 373 to open the outside air intake part 322, the intake duct 371 and the circulation duct 320 can communicate with each other.

[0202] At this time, when the blower fan 352 is driven, air outside the cabinet can be introduced into the circulation duct 320. When the compressor 342 is driven, the outside air is dehumidified while passing through the circulation duct 320 and is then supplied into the inner case 200.

[0203] The door 20 may further include an exhaust port for exhausting air from inside the inner case 200 to the outside and an exhaust damper for selectively opening and closing the exhaust port. The exhaust port may be provided to face the receiving space of the inner case 200.

[0204] This allows the dehumidified air to be discharged from the outlet.

[0205] In addition, the outside air can be filtered while passing through the blocking filter 366 and then discharged to the outside of the cabinet 100 again.

[0206] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing the flow of air flowing through the circulation duct.

[0207] Referring to FIG. 11(a), the outside air damper 373 is controlled to block the outside air intake portion 322, the first damper 3641 opens the first inlet portion 3621, and the second damper 3642 blocks the third inlet portion 3622.

[0208] When the blower fan 352 is driven, air inside the inner case 200 flows in through the first inlet 3621 and passes through the blocking filter 366 to be filtered.

[0209] When the compressor 342 is driven, the air that has passed through the blocking filter 366 can be dehumidified and heated while passing through the evaporator 341 and the condenser 343 .

[0210] The air that has passed through the heat exchanger passes through the fan installation part 350 and is supplied into the inner case 200 .

[0211] This state may be a state in which steam is not being supplied to the inner case 200. If steam is supplied to the inner case 200, the moisture will wet the blocking filter 366, and the performance of the blocking filter 366 cannot be guaranteed.

[0212] As a result, when the humidity decreases when steam is not supplied to the inner case 200, before steam is supplied inside the inner case 200, or even after steam is supplied inside the inner case 200, the air inside the inner case 200 passes through the first inlet 3641 and the blocking filter 366 to filter out lint and other foreign matter.

[0213] Referring to FIG. 11(b), the outside air damper 373 can be controlled to block the outside air intake portion 322, the first damper 3641 to block the first inlet portion 3621, and the second damper 3642 to open the third inlet portion 3622.

[0214] When the blower fan 352 is driven, air inside the inner case 200 can flow in through the third inlet 3622. Because the third inlet 3622 is provided downstream of the blocking filter 366, the air flowing in through the third inlet 3622 may not pass through the blocking filter 366.

[0215] When the compressor 342 is driven, the air that has passed through the blocking filter 366 can be dehumidified and heated while passing through the evaporator 341 and the condenser 343 .

[0216] The air that has passed through the heat exchanger passes through the fan installation part 350 and is supplied into the inner case 200 .

[0217] As a result, when steam is supplied to the inner case 200 or when the humidity inside the inner case 200 is very high, the air in the inner case 200 flows into the third inlet 3622 and is blocked from flowing into the first inlet 3621, thereby preventing the blocking filter 366 from being exposed to moisture.

[0218] Referring to FIG. 11(c), the outside air damper 373 can be controlled to open the outside air intake portion 322, the first damper 3641 to block the first inlet portion 3621, and the second damper 3642 to block the third inlet portion 3622.

[0219] When the blower fan 352 is driven, the air inside the inner case 200 is blocked from flowing into the inlet 362, and only the air outside the cabinet 100 flows into the circulation duct 320 and passes through the blocking filter 366. Thus, foreign matter such as fine dust contained in the outside air can be filtered by the blocking filter 366.

[0220] When the compressor 342 is driven, the air that has passed through the blocking filter 366 can be dehumidified while passing through the evaporator 341 and the condenser 343 .

[0221] The air that has passed through the heat exchanger passes through the fan installation part 350 and is supplied into the inner case 200, thereby supplying fresh hot air to the clothes.

[0222] In this case, if the door 20 is provided with a device for discharging the air inside the inner case 200 to the outside, the air outside the cabinet can pass through the blocking filter 366 and the heat supply unit 340 and be discharged in a purified and dehumidified state.

[0223] As a result, in the clothing treatment device of the present invention, the control unit C controls the outside air driving unit 374 and the inflow driving unit 365, and can determine the flow direction of the air inside the inner case 200 and the air outside the cabinet.

[0224] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an installation structure of the steam supply unit.

[0225] The steam supply unit 800 may be seated and supported on the base cover 360 .

[0226] The steam supply unit 800 is seated on the base cover 360 and may include a steam case 810 that stores water for generating the steam.

[0227] The steam supply unit 800 may further include an installation bracket 870 for fixing the steam case 810 to the base cover 360 .

[0228] The mounting bracket 870 is coupled to the base cover 360 to fix the steam case 810 thereto.

[0229] The installation bracket 870 may include a lower panel 871 that supports the lower surface of the steam case 810 , and side panels 872 that support both sides of the steam case 810 on the lower panel 871 .

[0230] The installation bracket 870 may further include one or more fixing clips 873 extending from the side panel 872 to prevent the steam case 810 from falling off.

[0231] The fixing clip 873 may be detachably provided on the top or side of the steam case 810 .

[0232] The compressor 342 may be disposed below the steam supply unit 800 .

[0233] The installation bracket 870 may be provided to block heat generated from the compressor 342 or heat generated from the refrigerant compressed in the compressor 342 from being transferred to the steam supplier 800.

[0234] The installation bracket 870 can also prevent the fire from spreading to the steam supply unit 800 if a fire occurs in the compressor 342 .

[0235] Meanwhile, the base cover 360 may include a fastening portion 3631 provided on the shielding body 363 and detachably coupled to the steam supplying portion 800. The fastening portion 3631 may be provided as a structure to be detachably coupled to a protrusion protruding from the lower portion of the steam case 810.

[0236] Therefore, even if a large amount of water is stored inside the steam case 810, the steam case 810 can be stably seated on the base cover 360.

[0237] In addition, since the steam case 810 is disposed above the circulation duct 320 and the distance to the inner case 200 is shorter, condensation of the steam generated in the steam case 810 before it reaches the inner case 200 can be minimized.

[0238] FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the detailed structure of the steam supply unit.

[0239] Referring to FIG. 13(a), the steam supply unit 800 may include a steam case 810 capable of receiving and storing water for generating steam, and a heater unit 840 housed in the steam case 810 and heating the water to generate steam.

[0240] The steam case 810 may be provided in the form of a case with an open top, and may be provided to accommodate the heater unit 840 therein.

[0241] The steam supply unit 800 may further include a case cover 820 coupled to the steam case 810 to prevent the heater unit 840 from being exposed to the outside and to prevent the water from leaking out.

[0242] The case cover 820 may be provided with a water level sensor 850 for detecting the water level in the steam case 810 and a steam sensor 860 for detecting the temperature inside the steam case 810 or detecting whether steam is generated inside the steam case 810.

[0243] Referring to FIG. 13( b ), the steam case 810 may include a case body 811 that stores water and provides a space for accommodating a heater unit 840 .

[0244] The case body 811 has an open top, so that various components can be easily installed inside the case body 811 .

[0245] The case body 811 has one side penetrating and includes a heater insertion hole 8111 through which the heater 840 can be inserted or removed.

[0246] The case body 811 may include a recovery pipe 814 capable of discharging water contained therein to the outside.

[0247] The recovery pipe 814 is maintained in a closed state by a shielding plug 8141 so that it is opened only when residual water inside the steam case 810 is to be removed, and may include a shielding clip 8142 that keeps the shielding plug 8141 connected to the recovery pipe 814 to prevent the shielding plug 8141 from accidentally falling off.

[0248] Therefore, water inside the steam case 800 can be discharged through the recovery pipe 814 when performing maintenance or preventing freezing of the steam case 800.

[0249] Meanwhile, a heater fixing part 830 capable of supporting or fixing the heater part 840 may be provided inside the case body 811. The heater fixing part 830 may include a fixing clip 831 for fixing the heater part 840, and a clip fastening member 833 for fixing the fixing clip 831 to the case body 811.

[0250] The fixing clip 831 may be provided to accommodate or cover at least a portion of the heater part 840 .

[0251] Meanwhile, the steam supply unit 800 may be provided with a water supply pipe 815 through which water is supplied. The water supply pipe 815 is connected to the water supply tank 30 to receive the water supply.

[0252] The water supply pipe 815 may be provided in the case cover 820 or may be disposed on the upper part of the steam case 810. This prevents water from flowing back through the water supply pipe 815.

[0253] The steam supply unit 800 may include a steam pipe 813 that discharges steam generated by driving the heater unit 840 to the outside. The steam pipe 813 is also provided on the upper part of the case cover 820 and can prevent water from being discharged from the steam pipe 813. The steam pipe 813 may be connected to the steam hole 233 of the inner case 200.

[0254] The case cover 820 may have a water level sensor hole 854 in which the water level sensor 850 is installed.

[0255] The water level sensor 850 may include one or more contact protrusions 852 that are inserted into the water level sensor hole 854 and immersed in water to detect the water level, and a sensor body 851 that is coupled to the water level sensor hole 854 or supported by the case cover 820 to keep the contact protrusions 852 floating within the steam case 810.

[0256] The sensor body 851 may be coupled to the case cover 820 via a sensor fastening member 853 .

[0257] In addition, the case cover 820 may be provided with an insertion hole 864 in which the steam sensor 860 is installed. The steam sensor 860 may include a detection device 861 that is inserted into the insertion hole 864 and detects whether steam is generated inside the steam case 810, a support 863 that fixes the detection device 861 to the case cover 820, and a connecting member 862 that connects the support 863 to the case cover 820.

[0258] The detection device 861 is provided as a humidity sensor or a temperature sensor, and detects whether steam is generated inside the steam case 810.

[0259] Meanwhile, the case cover 820 may be provided with a cover hook 821 that extends forward and is coupled to the base cover 860 .

[0260] In addition, a fixing protrusion 822 for fixing the lower part of the inner case 200 or a separate steam discharge part 900 may be provided at the rear of the case cover 820.

[0261] The heater part 840 may be inserted into the heater insertion hole 8111, accommodated in the steam case 810, and supplied with power to heat water.

[0262] The heater unit 840 may be provided as a sheath heater, and may be controlled by a control unit C to be repeatedly turned on and off.

[0263] The heater unit 840 may include a first heater 841 that receives a first power to heat water, and a second heater 842 that receives a power larger than the first power to heat water.

[0264] As a result, the second heater 842 can be configured to heat more water and generate more steam than the first heater 841.

[0265] The first heater 841 and the second heater 842 may be configured to consume a portion of the maximum heater power allowed in the heater unit 840 in the clothing treatment device. That is, when the first heater 841 is configured to consume a portion of the maximum heater power, the second heater 842 is configured to consume the remainder of the maximum heater power.

[0266] For example, if the maximum heater power allowed for the heater unit 840 is 1500W, the first heater 841 consumes 600W and the second heater 842 consumes 880W. The 202W can be allocated less in consideration of errors.

[0267] Of course, the heater unit 840 may include three or more heaters, for example, the first heater 841, the second heater 842, and the third heater 843, which are configured to share and consume the maximum heater power.

[0268] Hereinafter, the heater unit 840 will be described as being provided as the first heater 841 and the second heater 842.

[0269] The first heater 841 and the second heater 842 may be formed as U-shaped metal tubes.

[0270] The heater unit 840 may include a heater sealer 843 that fixes the first heater 841 and the second heater 842 and seals the heater through-hole 8111, and a terminal unit 844 that supplies current to the first heater 841 and the second heater 842.

[0271] The terminal unit 844 may include a first terminal 844 a for supplying current to the first heater 841 and a second terminal 844 b for supplying current to the second heater 842 .

[0272] The first heater 841 and the second heater 842 may be disposed at the same height, and therefore, the first heater 841 and the second heater 842 are configured to heat water at the same water level to generate steam.

[0273] Thus, the control unit C can adjust the amount of steam generated and the amount of power consumption by using both the first heater 841 and the second heater 842 or selectively using either one of them.

[0274] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a space partition section of a clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0275] The clothing processing device 1 may include a loading rack 600 inside the inner case 200 on which small clothing items such as dolls, hats, shoes, etc. are placed.

[0276] In order to process small clothes placed on the loading rack 600, hot air or steam is unnecessarily supplied to the upper space inside the inner case 200, resulting in a problem of reduced efficiency.

[0277] Therefore, there is a need for a clothing treatment device that can separate the space where the small clothes are placed so that hot air or steam can be supplied intensively only to the small clothes.

[0278] Referring to Figure 14, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a clothing processing device comprising: a cabinet 100; an inner case 200 provided inside the cabinet 100 and providing a storage space 220 for storing clothing; and a space partition 400 provided inside the inner case 200 and movable in a direction parallel to the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200, for selectively separating or connecting the storage space 220.

[0279] In addition, the present invention may further include a machine chamber 300 that is provided in communication with the inner case 200 and includes a heater unit 840 that generates steam to be supplied to the inner case 200 and a compressor 342 that generates hot air to be supplied to the inner case 200, and a through hole 230 that is provided through the inner case 200 to communicate with the machine chamber 300 and allows the hot air and steam generated in the machine chamber 300 to flow into the inside of the inner case 200.

[0280] The space partition 400 is provided to be drawn out in a direction parallel to the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200 and may include a film 410 that blocks the flow of the hot air or steam discharged from the through-holes 230.

[0281] The film membrane 410 is provided between the first space S1 in which the through hole 230 is provided and the second space S2 which is the remaining part of the storage space 220 excluding the first space S1, and can block or guide the hot air or steam flowing into the inside of the inner case 200 from the through hole 230 from flowing into the second space S2.

[0282] This forms a vertical partition within the inner case 200 via the space partition 400, allowing small clothing items such as shoes and hats placed in a portion of the space within the inner case 200 to be processed in a concentrated manner, and the volume of the space to which the hot air or steam is supplied can be reduced, so that the steam or hot air is supplied only to a portion of the space within the inner case 200, i.e., the first space S1, thereby improving energy efficiency.

[0283] This allows the user to selectively form a partition in the height direction of the inner case 200, and selectively change the volume of the space inside the inner case 200 to which the hot air or steam is supplied, i.e., the volume of the first space S1.

[0284] Meanwhile, the control unit C can simultaneously blow cool air so that the steam generated in the machine chamber 300 and flowing into the inner case 200 through the steam holes 233 can be uniformly diffused inside the inner case 200.

[0285] At this time, the steam may escape due to the cold air, which may prevent the steam from being properly sprayed onto the clothes, and the temperature of the steam may decrease due to the cold air, which may reduce the sterilization effect.

[0286] Therefore, when the first space S1 and the second space S2 are separated by the space partition unit 400, the control unit C can execute an intensive care mode in which the rpm of the blower fan 353 is set lower than that during the normal steaming process. This allows the steam to be sprayed intensively onto small clothes or accessories placed on the storage rack 600, thereby enabling efficient use of energy.

[0287] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing the structure of a support rack provided with space partitions.

[0288] Referring to Figure 15, one embodiment of the present invention further includes a support rack 700 arranged inside the inner case 200 above the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200, and the space partition portion 400 may be configured to be extended from the support rack 700 in a direction parallel to the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200.

[0289] The support rack 700 includes both side surfaces and one and the other surfaces that are provided to connect both ends of the both side surfaces to each other, and may include a support body 710 on which an article is seated, a ventilation hole 713 that is provided to penetrate at least a portion of the support body 710 and through which a fluid passes, and a space partition portion 400 that is provided to be retractable from either one of the both side surfaces, the one surface, or the other surface and that selectively blocks the ventilation hole 713.

[0290] The support rack 700 may be used independently outside the inner case 200 or may be supported inside the inner case 200 when used.

[0291] The support body 710 may include a first frame 7101 forming both sides of the support body 710, and a second frame 7102 forming the one and other sides of the support body 710 and connecting both ends of the first frame 7101. The first frame 7101 may be installed parallel to both sides of the inner case 200, and the second frame 7102 may be installed parallel to the rear surface of the inner case 200 and the door 20.

[0292] At this time, the first frame 7101 and the second frame 7102 may have any shape, but may be formed to form a rectangle that is the same shape as the cross section in the height direction of the inner case 200. Also, the support body 710 may be formed to have the same cross section area as the inner case 200.

[0293] The second frame 7102 may be longer than the first frame 7101. Thus, the support body 710 may be longer in the width direction than in the front-rear direction.

[0294] The ventilation holes 713 may be provided in plurality and spaced apart from each other inside the first frame 7101 and the second frame 7102 .

[0295] The support rack 700 may further include a support base 712 that is provided to connect the first frame 7101 or the second frame 7102 and forms the ventilation holes 713. A plurality of support bases 712 may be provided spaced apart from each other inside the first frame 7101 and the second frame 7102.

[0296] The support 712 may be provided in a rod shape having the same length as the first frame 7101 or the second frame 7102. Alternatively, the support 712 may be provided in a plate shape, and the ventilation hole 713 may be formed by partially passing through the support 712.

[0297] The support body 710 may further include a support handle 711 that protrudes from at least one of the first frame 7101 and the second frame 7102 toward the support base 712 and is seated inside the inner case 200. Thus, the support rack 700 can be supported inside the inner case 200 while being spaced apart from the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200.

[0298] The space partition 400 may be provided on one side of the support rack 700. That is, the space partition 400 may be drawn out from one side of the support body 710. The one side of the support body 710 may be one facing either one of the side or rear of the inner case 200 and the door 20. That is, the space partition 400 may be drawn out from either side of the support body 710.

[0299] The space partition 400 may include a film 410 that is pulled out from either one of the two side surfaces, the one surface, or the other surface, and fixed to the other of the two side surfaces, the one surface, or the other surface, and that covers the ventilation hole 713.

[0300] The film 410 can be pulled out from one of the two sides and fixed to the other of the two sides.

[0301] Alternatively, the film 410 may be provided so as to be retractable from either one of the one surface or the other surface, and may be fixed to the other of the one surface or the other surface.

[0302] The support handles 711 are provided on the first frame 7101 and can be seated on both sides of the inner case 200. In this case, it is preferable that the film membrane 410 is provided on the second frame 7102. This is because, when a user opens the door 20 and stands in front of the inner case 200, it is possible to grip the film membrane 410 and pull it out toward the user with less force.

[0303] The space partition 400 may include a film 410 accommodated in one side of the support body 710 and provided so as to be retractable, and a protruding fixing part 420 coupled to the film 410 so as to protrude and fixed to the other side of the support body 710. The other side of the support body 710 is preferably defined as the side opposite to the one side of the support body 710, but may also be defined as a part different from the one side of the support body 710.

[0304] Meanwhile, the support rack 700 may further include a compartment drawer 740 provided on one side of the support body 710 and accommodating the space compartment 400 therein.

[0305] When the film membrane 410 is not pulled out from the support body 710, the film membrane 410 is accommodated in a compartment pull-out portion 740 provided on one side of the support body 710, and the protruding fixing portion 420 may be provided to protrude outside the compartment pull-out portion 740. Thus, when a user pulls out the film membrane 410 from the compartment pull-out portion 740, the user can easily pull out the film membrane 410 by holding the protruding fixing portion 420.

[0306] The partition drawer 740 may be cylindrical and configured to accommodate the space partition 400. The partition drawer 740 may be provided on the first frame 7101 or the second frame 7102.

[0307] The film 410 may be provided in a cylindrical shape or wound around the outside of a center portion (not shown) inside the compartment pull-out portion 740. Thus, when a user grips the protruding fixing portion 420 and applies an external force to the outside of the support body 710, the entire film 410 can be pulled out to the outside of the compartment pull-out portion 740. The protruding fixing portion 420 is coupled to the outside of the film 410 and may be provided in a cylindrical shape or may be shorter than the length of the film 410 in the width direction.

[0308] The central portion (not shown) is provided with an elastic body, which guides the drawn film 410 so that it is wound around the central portion (not shown) again when the external force is removed.

[0309] The partition extension 740 may have the same length as the width of the support body 710. That is, the partition extension 740 may be provided on the second frame 7102 and may have the same length as the second frame 7102.

[0310] The film 410 may be made of a material that blocks the steam or hot air when pulled out from the partition pull-out part 740. Also, any material may be used as long as it can be wrapped around the center part (not shown).

[0311] The partition outlet 740 may include the partition outlet 741 through which the film 410 can be pulled out. The film 410 can be pulled out to the outside of the support body 710 through the partition outlet 741. It is preferable that the size of the partition outlet 741 is smaller than the diameter of the protruding fixing part 420.

[0312] The support rack 700 may include an extension 720 that is configured to be pulled out from the support body 710 in a direction parallel to the bottom surface of the inner case 200 .

[0313] The film 410 may be drawn out from one side of the support body 710, and the extension 720 may be drawn out from the other side of the support body 710. The one side of the support body 710 may be toward either one of the side or rear of the inner case 200 and the door 20. That is, the film 410 may be drawn out from either side of the support body 710.

[0314] The support body 710 may be spaced apart from the inner surface of the inner case 200, and the extension part 720 may be pulled out from the support body 710 and contact the inner surface of the inner case 200. That is, the cross-sectional area of ​​the support rack 700 in the width direction when the extension part 720 is pulled out may be the same as the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner case 200. As a result, when the extension part 720 is pulled out from the support body 710, the receiving space 220 is separated into the first space S1 and the second space S2, and the steam or hot air can be prevented from entering the second space S2.

[0315] When the film membrane 410 is pulled out from one side of the support body 710, the protruding fixing part 420 may be configured to be fixed to the pulled-out extension part 720. That is, the extension part 720 may be configured to be pulled out from either one of both sides, one side, or the other side of the support body 710, and the pulled-out film membrane 410 may be configured to be fixed to the pulled-out extension part 720. It is preferable that the extension part 720 is provided on the side opposite to the one side of the support body 710 from which the film membrane 410 is pulled out. Thus, the pulled-out film membrane 410 may be fixed to the extension part 720 to cover the ventilation holes 713.

[0316] To this end, the extension part 720 may further include an extension body 722 drawn out from the support body 710, and a partition fixing part 721 provided on the extension body 722 and fixing the protruding fixing part 420 thereto.

[0317] The partition fixing part 721 may be provided to protrude from one side of the extension body 722, so that a user can easily pull out the extension part 720 by gripping the partition fixing part 721. Furthermore, although the partition fixing part 721 is preferably provided so that the protruding fixing part 420 can be inserted therein, it may have any shape as long as it has a structure that allows the protruding fixing part 420 to be fixed.

[0318] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the support rack installed on the mounting rack, and FIG. 17 is a diagram showing the installation structure of the support rack.

[0319] The present invention may further include a loading rack 600 provided inside the inner case 200 parallel to the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200, on which articles are placed.

[0320] The loading rack 600 is disposed inside the inner case 200 and includes a loading body 610 having a rectangular ring shape, loading handles 611 protruding from one or both sides of the loading body 610 toward the inside of the loading body 610, and a loading platform 612 that connects parts of the loading body 610 and on which items are placed. A plurality of loading platforms 612 may be provided and may be spaced apart from each other. The loading body 610 may have the same area as the cross-sectional area of ​​the inner case 200 in the height direction. This allows a user to place small items of clothing such as hats, shoes, dolls, etc. on the loading rack 600.

[0321] According to an embodiment, the support rack 700 may be installed above and spaced apart from the loading rack 600. In this case, it is preferable that the through-holes 233 are located below the loading rack 600.

[0322] The support rack 700 may further include support legs 730 that are configured to be drawn out from the support body 710 and connect the support rack 700 to the loading rack 600 .

[0323] The support leg 730 may include a leg body 731 connected to the support body 710 and configured to be seated on the mounting rack 600. In this case, the extended leg body 731 may be coupled to the mounting body 610.

[0324] In other words, the leg body 731 is rotatably mounted on the first frame 7101 and can be accommodated in the second frame 7102. This allows a user to connect the support rack 700 to the loading rack 600 and not expose the support leg 730 to the outside of the support rack 700 when not in use.

[0325] The support leg 730 may include a leg hinge 733 rotatably provided on one side of the leg body 731 and allowing the support leg 730 to be pulled downward from the support body 710. That is, the leg hinge 733 may be provided inside the first frame 7101. In this case, the one side of the leg body 731 may refer to a portion closer to the top of the inner case 200.

[0326] The support leg 730 may include a leg hook 732 provided in a circular shape on the other side of the leg body 731 and coupled to the mounting rack 600. In this case, the other side of the leg body 731 may refer to a portion closer to the bottom of the inner case 200. The leg hook 732 may be coupled to the mounting body 610.

[0327] Therefore, the user can pull out the support legs 730 from the support body 710 and connect them to the loading rack 600 only when using the space partition 400 provided in the support rack 700 .

[0328] In addition, the space partition 400 provided on the support rack 700 prevents the steam or hot air from flowing out to the upper part of the support rack 700, so the small clothes placed on the loading rack 600 can be processed in a concentrated manner.

[0329] Furthermore, there is an effect that the user can selectively change the volume of the space in the inner case 200 to which the hot air or steam is supplied, that is, the volume of the first space S1.

[0330] In addition, since the volume of the first space S1 is changed depending on the length of the support leg 730 or the height at which the loading rack 600 is installed, the user can selectively change the volume of the space to which the steam or hot air is supplied.

[0331] FIG. 18 is a view showing the inside of the inner case of the clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0332] Meanwhile, a user can selectively use the space partition 400 by combining it with or separating it from the inner case 200 .

[0333] Therefore, when the space partition 400 is not in use, the user can store the space partition 400 separately from the inner case 200 .

[0334] For this purpose, the inner case 200 may further include a storage hanger 240 that protrudes from the inner surface thereof and on which the support rack 700 having the space partition 400 is seated.

[0335] Therefore, the user does not need to store the space partition 400 separately, but can store it inside the inner case 200, thereby improving convenience.

[0336] The storage hangers 240 are provided in plurality, so that the support rack 700 can be more stably seated.

[0337] According to one embodiment, the platform 612 can be seated on the storage rack 240 .

[0338] FIG. 19 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the space partition section of the clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0339] According to an embodiment, the space partition 400 may be provided to be drawn out from one surface of the inner case 200 in a direction parallel to the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200 .

[0340] This allows the user to pull out the space partition 400 from one side of the inner case 200 as needed without having to connect or disconnect the space partition 400 to the inner case 200, thereby improving convenience.

[0341] The one side of the inner case 200 may be either one of the two side surfaces or the rear surface of the inner case 200. That is, the space partition 400 may be pulled out from either side of the inner case 200. However, it is most preferable that the space partition 400 be provided on the rear surface of the inner case 200 so that it can be easily pulled out by a user.

[0342] To this end, the clothing disposal device of the present invention may further include a first holder 252 provided on one side of the inner case 200 to fix the space partition 400 to the one side of the inner case 200. That is, the space partition 400 can be selectively pulled out from the first holder 252 provided on one side of the inner case 200.

[0343] The first holders 252 are provided in pairs and can fix the space partitioning unit 400 from both sides. The first holders 252 are provided in a hook shape and can stably fix the space partitioning unit 400, which is provided in a rod shape, from both sides.

[0344] The pair of first holders 252 may be provided in plural and may be spaced apart from each other in the height direction of the inner case 200. This allows the height of the space partition 400 to be changed and fixed to the first holder 252.

[0345] The laundry treatment device of the present invention may further include a storage holder 250 that is hung on the storage hanger 240 and includes the first holder 252. The detailed structure of the storage holder 250 will be described later.

[0346] The inner case 200 may further include an additional rack 270 fixed to the first holder 252 and configured to be pulled out in a direction parallel to the bottom surface 201 of the inner case 200. The additional rack 270 may be cylindrical and have the same structure as the space partition 400. A plurality of the additional racks 270 may be provided and fixed to the first holder 252. Thus, a user can selectively pull out the additional rack 270 in addition to the loading rack 600 to place the small garments thereon.

[0347] The inner case 200 may further include a second holder 260 that faces the first holder 252 and that fixes the space partition 400 or the additional rack 270 extended from one side of the inner case 200.

[0348] The second holders 260 are provided in a pair on the inner case 200 and can fix the space partition 400 or the additional rack 270 from both sides of the inner case 200. The second holders 260 can be provided on both sides of the inner case 200. As a result, the space partition 400 or the additional rack 270 can be stably fixed from both sides.

[0349] The pair of second holders 260 may be provided in plurality and spaced apart from each other in the height direction of the inner case 200. This allows the height of the space partition 400 or the additional rack 270 to be changed and fixed to the second holder 260. The detailed structure of the second holder 260 will be described later.

[0350] When the space partitioning part 400 is pulled out from one side of the inner case 200, the film 410 can separate the first space S1 and the second space S2.

[0351] As a result, a vertical partition of the inner case 200 is formed through the space partition portion 400 within the inner case 200, allowing small clothing items such as shoes and hats placed in a portion of the space within the inner case 200 to be treated in a concentrated manner, and by reducing the volume of the space to which the hot air or steam is supplied, the steam or hot air is supplied only to a portion of the space within the inner case 200, i.e., the first space S1, thereby improving energy efficiency.

[0352] FIG. 20 is a diagram showing the structure of the storage holder of the clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0353] The storage holder 250 may include a storage body (not shown) installed inside the inner case 200, a hanging hook 251 recessed into a portion of the storage body and seated on the storage hanger 240, and a first holder 252 protruding from the storage body 250 in the shape of a hook and fixing the space partition 400 or the additional rack 270.

[0354] A plurality of first holders 252 are provided and spaced apart from each other in the height direction of the inner case 200, so that the space partitioning unit 400 or the additional rack 270 can be fixed at different heights. Thus, a user can adjust the height of the space partitioning unit 400 as desired to adjust the volume of the space into which the steam or hot air flows.

[0355] This allows the user to selectively form a partition in the height direction of the inner case 200, and selectively change the volume of the space inside the inner case 200 to which the hot air or steam is supplied, that is, the first space S1.

[0356] FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view of the space partition and the additional rack installed inside the inner case.

[0357] The storage holder 250 may be provided to be seated on the storage hanger 240. That is, the storage hook 251 may be seated on the storage hanger 240 to fix the storage holder 250.
