Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a laundry treatment device. [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, when long clothes such as long down coats or dresses are hung on the hangers installed inside the inner case of the clothing processing device, the bottom end of the clothes comes into contact with the bottom of the inner case, causing dust and other particles to adhere to the clothes.

[0008] Furthermore, if the lower end of the clothing comes into contact with the bottom surface, the flow path of the steam or hot air supply section located at the bottom of the cabinet will be blocked, which could result in a decrease in performance and a risk of heat generation, as well as the problem that the clothing may come into direct contact with the steam or hot air and be damaged.

[0009] Therefore, there is a need to provide a clothing disposal device that can accommodate long clothing so that the clothing does not come into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0114] For this purpose, the inner case 200 may have a plurality of through holes 230 penetrating one surface thereof and communicating with the machine chamber 300 .

[0115] Through the through-holes 230, air in the accommodating space 220 can be supplied to the machine room 300, and at least one of hot air and steam generated in the machine room 300 can be supplied to the accommodating space 200.

[0116] The through-holes 230 may include an inlet hole 231 that penetrates the lower surface of the inner case 200 and through which air inside the inner case 200 is discharged or sucked into the machine chamber 300, and an outlet hole 232 that penetrates the lower surface of the inner case 200 and through which hot air generated in the machine chamber 300 is discharged.

[0117] The discharge hole 232 may be disposed biased toward the rear surface of the lower surface of the inner case 200. For example, the discharge hole 232 may be disposed obliquely to the ground between the lower surface or the rear surface of the inner case 200 and directed toward the hanger part 410.

[0118] In addition, the inlet hole 231 may be disposed biased toward the front of the lower surface of the inner case 200. Thus, the inlet hole 231 may be disposed away from the outlet hole 232.

[0119] The through-hole 230 may include a steam hole 233 to which steam generated in the steam supply unit (not shown) is supplied. The steam hole 233 may be disposed on one side of the discharge hole 232.

[0120] Meanwhile, a water supply tank 30 for supplying water to the steam supply unit (not shown) and a drainage tank 40 for collecting condensed water condensed in the heat supply unit 340 may be provided in front of the machine room 300.

[0121] The water supply tank 30 and the drainage tank 40 can be detachably provided in front of the machine chamber 300. This allows the clothing treatment device 1 of the present invention to be freely installed without being restricted by a water supply source or a drainage source.

[0122] Meanwhile, a drawer 50 that can be pulled out forward and has a separate storage space may be further provided in the front of the machine chamber 300. The drawer 50 may store a steam generator or an iron.

[0123] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the upper structure of the inner case of the clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0124] The hanger unit 410 of the clothing treatment device of the present invention is disposed on the upper part of the inner case 200 and may include a power transmission unit 440 for swinging the hanger 420 .

[0125] A hanging portion 430 on which the hanger 420 is placed or hung may be provided at a lower portion of the power transmission portion 440 .

[0126] Therefore, when the power transmission part 440 moves, the hanging part 430 moves, and the hanger 420 hung on the hanging part 430 swings, thereby achieving the effect of shaking off the clothes.

[0127] A plurality of power transmission units 440 may be provided, and a plurality of hanging units 430 connected to the power transmission units 440 may also be provided. Thus, a number of clothes corresponding to the number of power transmission units 440 can be hung in the inner case 200 and refreshed.

[0128] FIG. 2 shows the hanger part 410 and the power transmission part 440 arranged along the width direction of the inner case 200 as a reference.

[0129] However, the hanger unit 410 and the power transmission unit 440 may be arranged along the direction in which the clothes are arranged in the storage space. For example, if clothes are arranged along the front-rear direction in the inner case 200, the hanger unit 410 and the power transmission unit 440 may be arranged along the front-rear direction of the inner case 200.

[0130] In the following description, the hanger unit 410, the power transmission units 440, and the hanging units 430 are arranged along the width direction of the inner case 200, but this is only one embodiment, and the hanger unit 410, the power transmission units 440, and the hanging units 430 may be arranged along a direction designed to hang or place multiple garments in the storage space.

[0131] The hanger part 410 may further include a driving part 450 for supplying power to move the power transmission part 440 .

[0132] The driving unit 450 may be exposed to the inside of the inner case 200 as long as it can transmit power to the power transmission unit 440. However, since the driving unit 450 is operated by the supply of electrical energy, it is preferable that it is shielded from exposure to steam or hot air.

[0133] Therefore, the driving unit 450 may be disposed between the upper surface of the inner case 200 and the cabinet 10 and may be prevented from being exposed to the receiving space 210 .

[0134] The power transmission unit 440 may penetrate the upper part of the inner case 200 to transmit power from the driving unit 450. The power transmission unit 440 may penetrate the upper part of the inner case 200 and extend downward, and a lower end thereof may be exposed to the receiving space 210.

[0135] The power transmission part 440 may be provided in the shape of a rod, a tube, or a plate, the length of which is longer than the thickness.

[0136] Meanwhile, the hanger 420 is hung on the hanging portion 430 to hang clothes, and a plurality of hangers may be provided.

[0137] The hanger 420 may include a ring-shaped hook portion 600 that is hooked onto the hanging portion 430, and a frame 500 that is connected to a lower portion of the hook portion 600 and on which the garment is placed.

[0138] The hook portion 600 may include a hook ring 610 hooked onto the hanging portion 430 and a hook extension portion 620 connected to the frame 500 from the bottom of the hook ring 610 .

[0139] When long clothes such as a long down coat or a dress are hung on the hanger 420 installed inside the inner case 200 of the clothing processing device, the bottom of the clothes comes into contact with the bottom of the inner case 200, causing dust and other particles to adhere to the clothes.

[0140] If the lower end of the clothing or fallen clothing comes into contact with the bottom of the inner case 200, the flow path of the steam or hot air supply section located at the bottom of the cabinet is blocked, resulting in a decrease in performance and a risk of heat generation, and the clothing may come into direct contact with the steam or hot air and be damaged.

[0141] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a hanger and a connecting portion of the clothing treatment device of the present invention.

[0142] 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 space for storing clothing; a hanger unit (410) provided on the upper part of the inner case (200) and supporting the weight of the clothing; and a hanger (420) detachably provided on the hanger unit (410) and on which clothing is hung, the hanger (420) comprising a hook unit (600) hooked onto the hanger unit (410), a frame (500) connected to the lower part of the hook unit (600) and on which clothing is hung, and a connecting unit (900) provided to connect the hook unit (600) to the frame (500), the connecting unit (900) being provided to change the height of the hook unit (600) exposed at the upper end of the frame (500).

[0144] The hook portion 600 can be moved or rotated via the connecting portions 700 and 800 to change the distance between the frame 500 and the hanger portion 410 or the hook portion 430. The specific structure and change process for each embodiment will be described later.

[0145] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a case where the connecting parts 700 and 800 are provided as the moving part 700. As shown in FIG.

[0146] As shown in FIG. 3(a), when the hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500 and is hung on the hanging portion 430, if an article of clothing that is longer than the distance between the frame 500 and the bottom surface of the inner case 200 is hung on the frame 500, the lower end of the article of clothing may come into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0147] 3(b), when the hook portion 600 moves via the connecting portions 700 and 800 and is not exposed at the top end of the frame 500, the gap between the frame 500 and the hanging portion 430 is reduced. Therefore, the clothing is raised from the bottom surface of the inner case 200 by the gap, and even if long clothing is hung on the frame 500, the bottom end of the clothing can be prevented from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0148] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the movement process of the connecting portion.

[0149] According to one embodiment, the connecting portions 700 and 800 may be provided to guide the movement of the hook portion 600 in the height direction of the frame 500. That is, in one embodiment, the connecting portions 700 and 800 may be provided as the moving portion 700.

[0150] According to an embodiment, the moving part 700 may include a guide rail 710 connected to the frame 500 to guide the hook part 600 to slide and move in a height direction.

[0151] The frame 500 includes a main body 510 to which the hook 600 is connected, and support wings 520 extending from both sides of the main body and on which clothes can be hung. The support wings 520 may be provided as a pair and extending from both sides of the main body 510.

[0152] The guide rail 710 may be connected downward from the main body 510 and provided between the support wings 520 .

[0153] The connecting parts 700 and 800 are provided on the guide rail 710 and may include a hook fixing part 720 for preventing the hook part 600 from moving.

[0154] 4 shows two hook fixing portions 720 provided on the guide rail 710, a plurality of hook fixing portions 720 may be provided and recessed on one side of the guide rail 710 and spaced apart in the height direction, so that the hook portion 600 can move along the guide rail 710 and be fixed at multiple heights.

[0155] Meanwhile, the hook part 600 may include a hook ring 610 that is hung on the hanger part 410 and a hook extension part 620 that is connected to a lower part of the hook ring 610 .

[0156] The hook portion 600 may include a hook moving portion 630 coupled to the hook extension portion 620 to move the hook extension portion 620 along the guide rail 710. A detailed structure of the hook moving portion 630 will be described later.

[0157] The hook part 600 may further include a fixing bolt 640 that is inserted into at least one of the plurality of hook fixing parts 720 and fixes the hook moving part 630 .

[0158] Referring to FIG. 4( a ), when the hook portion 600 is fixed to the hook fixing portion 720 located on the upper portion of the guide rail 710 , the hook portion 600 may be exposed to the frame 500 .

[0159] 4(b), when the hook portion 600 is fixed to the hook fixing portion 720 located at the lower part of the guide rail 710, the hook portion 600 may not be exposed at the upper end of the frame 500. In this case, when the hook portion 600 is hung on the hanging portion, the height of the frame 500 is relatively higher than when the hook portion 600 is fixed to the hook fixing portion 720 located at the upper part of the guide rail 710, so that longer clothing can be hung on it.

[0160] Therefore, the user can easily selectively move the hook portion 600 to prevent long clothing from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200, thereby improving user convenience.

[0161] FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view of the hanger and the connecting portion.

[0162] FIG. 5 shows a cross section of the hanger 420 and the moving part 700 cut in the height direction.

[0163] The hook moving part 630 is connected to the end of the hook extension part 620 and is configured to be inserted into the guide rail 710 and move, and as the hook moving part 630 moves along the guide rail 710, the hook extension part 620 and the hook ring 610 can move in the height direction.

[0164] The hook fixing portions 720 may be provided in plurality, recessed on one surface of the guide rail 710, and spaced apart in the height direction. According to an embodiment, the hook fixing portions 720 may be spaced apart in the height direction on both ends of the guide rail 710.

[0165] The hook moving part 630 may be configured to be penetrated by the fixing bolt 640. When the hook moving part 630 is configured to overlap the hook fixing part 720, the fixing bolt 640 may be inserted into the hook fixing part 720 by penetrating the hook moving part 630. Thus, the hook moving part 630 is fixed by the fixing bolt 640, and the hook part 600 can be prevented from separating from the hook fixing part 720 and moving along the guide rail 710.

[0166] The frame 500 may include a body 510 to which the hook 600 is connected, and a hook receiving portion 512 in which at least a portion of the body 510 is recessed to receive at least a portion of the hook 600.

[0167] When the hook part 600 is fixed to the hook fixing part 720 located on the upper part of the guide rail 710 , the hook moving part 630 and the fixing bolt 640 may be received in the hook receiving part 512 .

[0168] When the hook portion 600 is fixed to the hook fixing portion 720 located at the lower portion of the guide rail 710, the upper end of the hook ring 610 is hooked onto the hook receiving portion 512. At this time, the hook ring 610 is spaced apart from the hook receiving portion 512 by the thickness of the hooking portion 430, thereby providing a space for the hook portion 600 to be hooked onto the hooking portion 430. As a result, the hook portion 600 can be hooked onto the hooking portion 430 even if it is not exposed at the upper end of the frame 500.

[0169] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the hanger and the connecting part of the clothing treating device of the present invention.

[0171] According to an embodiment, the moving part 700 may be provided to guide the hook part 600 to move in the height direction of the frame 500. A specific structure of the moving part 700 will be described later.

[0172] 6(a), when the hook portion 600 is moved in the height direction via the moving portion 700 and is not exposed at the top end of the frame 500, the distance between the frame 500 and the hanging portion 430 can be reduced. Therefore, even if the clothing is raised from the bottom surface of the inner case 200 by the distance, and long clothing is hung on the frame 500, the bottom end of the clothing can be prevented from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0173] 6(b), when the hook portion 600 is exposed from the upper end of the frame 500 and hung on the hanging portion 430, the distance between the frame 500 and the hanging portion 430 can be relatively increased. Therefore, when a garment having the same length as that shown in FIG. 6(a) is hung on the frame 500, the lower end of the garment may come into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0174] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the movement process of the connecting portion.

[0175] FIG. 7( a ) shows a case where the hook portion 600 is not exposed at the top end of the frame 500 .

[0176] The moving part 700 may include a guide rail 710 connected to the frame 500 to guide the hook part 600 to slide and move in a height direction.

[0177] The hook portion 600 may include a hook moving portion 630 coupled to the hook extension portion 620 to move the hook extension portion 620 along the guide rail 710 .

[0178] The frame 500 includes a main body 510 to which the hook 600 is connected, and support wings 520 on which clothes can be hung, extending from both sides of the main body 510. The support wings 520 may be provided as a pair, extending from both sides of the main body 510.

[0181] The frame 500 may further include a pair of protruding support parts 511 that protrude upward from both sides of the hook receiving part 512 and support the garment. As a result, the garment is supported by the protruding support parts 511, thereby minimizing hanger marks.

[0182] According to an embodiment, the hook fixing portion 720 may be provided to protrude from the guide rail 710 and fix the hook ring 610. The hook fixing portion 720 may be provided in pair, and the hook ring 610 may be inserted between the pair of hook fixing portions 720.

[0183] Therefore, even if the hook ring 610 is hung on the hanging portion 430 , the hook portion 600 can be prevented from moving upward along the guide rail 710 .

[0184] When the hook ring 610 is fixed to the hook fixing part 720 , the upper end of the hook ring 610 is hooked onto the hook receiving part 512 .

[0185] 7(b), the hook portion 600 may be rotated outward from the guide rail 710 to separate the hook ring 610 from the hook fixing portion 720 of the guide rail 710. A detailed description of the rotation structure of the hook portion 600 will be given later.

[0186] In this case, when the hook ring 610 is separated from the hook fixing portion 720 of the guide rail 710 as shown in FIG. 7(c), the hook portion 600 can move along the guide rail 710 to the lower side of the main body portion 510 or the hook accommodating portion 512.

[0187] Specifically, the hook moving part 630 is inserted into the guide rail 710 and can move.

[0188] Referring to FIG. 7(d), the hook portion 600, which has moved along the guide rail 710 to the lower side of the main body portion 510 or the hook receiving portion 512, can be rotated toward the main body portion 510, and the hook portion 600 can be exposed at the upper end of the frame 500.

[0189] At this time, at least a portion of the hook extension portion 620 may be placed and fixed in the hook receiving portion 512. Although not shown in Fig. 7, the frame 500 may further include a frame fixing portion 530 to which the hook extension portion 620 is fixed. The hook portion 600 is fixed to the frame fixing portion 530, and is prevented from moving downward along the guide rail 710. That is, the hook moving portion 630 is prevented from moving along the guide rail 710.

[0190] Therefore, the user can easily rotate and move the hook portion 600 to relatively adjust the height of the upper end of the garment hung on the frame 500 .

[0191] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the connecting portion and the hook portion according to the embodiment.

[0192] FIG. 8 shows a cross section of the guide rail 710 and the hook portion 600 when the hook portion 600 is provided as shown in FIG. 7(a).

[0193] According to one embodiment, the hook moving part 630 may be coupled to the hook extension part 620, inserted into the guide rail 710, and movable in the height direction along the guide rail 710. That is, the hook moving part 630 may be provided between the end of the hook extension part 620 and the guide rail 710.

[0194] According to an embodiment, the hook portion 600 may further include a rotation hinge 631 provided on the hook moving portion 630 to rotate the hook extension portion 620 in a height direction.

[0195] When the rotation hinge 631 is rotated so that the hook part 600 rotates perpendicular to the guide rail 710 , the hook moving part 630 can move along the guide rail 710 .

[0196] Conversely, when the rotating hinge 631 is rotated so that the hook portion 600 rotates parallel to the guide rail 710, the hook ring 610 is fixed to the hook fixing portion 720 as shown in FIG. 7(a), or the hook extension portion 620 is fixed to the frame fixing portion 530 as shown in FIG. 7(d).

[0197] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the hanger and the connecting part of the clothing treating device of the present invention.

[0198] FIG. 9 shows a case where the connecting parts 700 and 800 are provided as the moving part 700. In FIG.

[0199] The moving part 700 may be provided to guide the hook part 600 to move in the height direction of the frame 500 .

[0200] According to one embodiment, the frame 500 further includes a wing connecting part 540 connecting the pair of support wings 520 to each other, and the moving part 700 is provided as an elastic body and may include a guide spring 730 having one end connected to the wing connecting part 540 and the other end connected to the hook part 600. The moving and fixing structure of the guide spring 730 will be described later.

[0201] 9(a), when the hook portion 600 is not exposed at the top end of the frame 500, the distance between the frame 500 and the hanging portion 430 can be reduced. Therefore, the garment rises from the bottom surface of the inner case 200 by the distance corresponding to the distance, and even if a long garment is hung on the frame 500, the bottom end of the garment can be prevented from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0202] Although not shown, when the hook portion 600 is not exposed at the upper end of the frame 500, the upper end of the hook ring 610 can be hung on the hook receiving portion 512. At this time, the hook ring 610 is spaced apart from the hook receiving portion 512 by the thickness of the hanging portion 430, thereby providing a space for the hook portion 600 to be hung on the hanging portion 430. Therefore, even when the hook portion 600 is not exposed at the upper end of the frame 500, the hook portion 600 can be hung on the hanging portion 430.

[0203] 9(b), as the guide spring 730 connected to the hook portion 600 is pulled, the hook portion 600 moves in the height direction, and when the hook portion 600 is exposed from the upper end of the frame 500 and hung on the hanging portion 430, the distance between the frame 500 and the hanging portion 430 may be relatively widened. Therefore, when a garment having the length shown in FIG. 9(a) is hung on the frame 500, the lower end of the garment may come into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0204] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the detailed structure of the hanger and the connecting portion.

[0207] The frame 500 may further include a fixing post 541 that protrudes upward from the wing connecting portion 540 and receives the guide spring 730, and a fixing groove 543 that is recessed into the inner peripheral surface of the fixing post 541. In this case, a guide hole 542 is formed inside the fixing post 541, and the fixing body 650 is inserted into the fixing groove 543 to fix the guide spring 730 to the guide hole 542.

[0208] FIG. 10( b ) shows a state in which the guide spring 730 is tensioned to fix the hook portion 600 to the body portion 510 .

[0209] The user can separate the fixed body 650 from the fixed groove 543 to extend the guide spring 730 .

[0210] The hanger 420 may further include a frame fixing portion 530 that is a recessed portion of the frame 500 and fixes the hook portion 600. Specifically, when the guide spring 730 is tensioned and the hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500, the fixing body 650 is placed on the frame 500 having the frame fixing portion 530, and the connecting body 660 may be inserted into the frame fixing portion 530. Thus, the hook portion 600 can be exposed and fixed at the upper end of the frame 500 while the guide spring 730 is tensioned.

[0211] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the hanger and the connecting portion of the clothing treating device of the present invention.

[0212] According to one embodiment, the connecting portions 700 and 800 may be provided so that the hook portion 600 can rotate in the height direction of the frame 500. Thus, the hook portion 600 can be rotated through the connecting portions 700 and 800 to change the distance between the frame 500 and the hanger portion 410 or the hook portion 430.

[0213] When the hook portion 600 rotates, the hook portion 600 and the frame 500 may be provided to overlap in the front-rear direction or the width direction.

[0214] The connecting parts 700 and 800 may include a rotating part 800 connected to the hook part 600 and having at least a portion inserted into the frame 500 to rotate. The rotating part 800 may be inserted into the protruding support part 511.

[0216] 11(b), the hook part 600 can rotate toward the frame 500 through the rotating part 800. At this time, at least a portion of the hook part 600 overlaps the frame 500 in the front-rear direction and is not exposed at the top end of the frame 500, thereby reducing the distance between the frame 500 and the hanging part 430. As a result, the garment rises from the bottom surface of the inner case 200 by the distance corresponding to the distance, and even when long garments are hung on the frame 500, the bottom end of the garment can be prevented from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0217] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the rotation process of the connecting portion.

[0218] 12(a) shows a case where the hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500. The hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500 and can be hung on the hanging portion 430.

[0219] FIG. 12(b) shows a case where the hook portion 600 is rotated in the width direction of the frame 500 while being exposed at the upper end of the frame 500.

[0220] The hook portion 600 may include a hook ring 610 that is hooked on the hanging portion 430, and a hook extension portion 620 that is connected to the hook ring 610 and is rotatable in the width direction of the frame along the hook ring 610. Thus, the hook ring 610 is provided to be hooked on the hanging portion 430.

[0221] It is preferable that the hook ring 610 is rotated to an angle such that the hook ring 610 can be hooked on the hook portion 430 even when the hook ring 610 is rotated toward the body portion 510 .

[0222] Even if the hook ring 610 rotates toward the body part 510, the hook ring 610 does not fall off the hook part 430 and can be stably hung.

[0223] FIG. 12( c ) shows a case where the hook portion 600 rotates toward the frame 500 and at least a part of the hook portion 600 overlaps with the frame 500 .

[0224] The frame 500 may include a body 510 to which the hook 600 is connected, and a hook receiving portion 512 in which at least a portion of the body 510 is recessed to receive at least a portion of the hook 600.

[0225] Although not shown, when the hook portion 600 rotates toward the frame 500 and at least a portion of the hook portion 600 overlaps the frame 500, the upper end of the hook ring 610 can be hung on the hook receiving portion 512. At this time, the hook ring 610 is spaced apart from the hook receiving portion 512 by the thickness of the hanging portion 430, thereby providing a space for the hook portion 600 to be hung on the hanging portion 430. Therefore, the hook portion 600 can be hung on the hanging portion 430 even if it is not exposed at the upper end of the frame 500.

[0226] FIG. 13 shows a detailed structure of the hook portion according to the embodiment.

[0227] 13(a) and (b), the hook portion 600 may include a guide hole 611 provided on the hook ring 610 to guide the hook extension portion 620 to rotate in the width direction of the frame 500, and fixing holes 612 provided on both sides of the guide hole 611 to receive and fix the hook extension portion 620.

[0228] That is, the hook extension 620 can move in the width direction of the hook ring 610 along the guide hole 611. As a result, the hook ring 610 can rotate in the width direction of the frame 500.

[0229] The hook extension 620 can move along the guide hole 611 and be inserted into the fixing hole 612 to be fixed. This prevents the hook ring 610 from rotating beyond a certain angle. It is preferable that the hook ring 610 can be rotated to an angle that allows it to be hooked on the hook 430 even when rotated toward the main body 510.

[0230] 13(c), when the hook extension 620 moves along the guide hole 611, the hook ring 610 rotates clockwise and is fixed to the fixing hole 612. In one embodiment, two fixing holes 612 are provided at positions spaced apart by a certain angle from the position where the hook ring 610 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500.

[0231] FIG. 14 is a diagram showing a detailed structure of the connecting portion according to the embodiment.

[0232] The rotating part 800 may further include a guide rib 810 that protrudes from an end of the rotating part 800 and guides the angle at which the rotating part 800 rotates.

[0233] The guide ribs 810 may be spaced apart at an angle that fixes the rotating part 800. In Fig. 14, the guide ribs 810 are shown spaced apart at 180 degrees.

[0234] The frame 500 may further include a rotation unit fixing portion 532 formed by recessing the inner side of the protruding support portion 511 and into which the guide rib 810 is inserted.

[0235] As the rotating part 800 rotates, the guide rib 810 is inserted into the rotating part fixing part 532, thereby preventing the rotating part 800 from rotating.

[0236] An extension receiving portion 531 may be provided at an upper portion of the frame 500, into which the hook extension 620 is received when the hook portion 600 is received in the hook receiving portion 512 as the rotating portion 800 rotates. The extension fixing portion 531 may be recessed at an upper portion of the frame 500 by an amount corresponding to the thickness of the hook extension 620. Thus, when the hook portion 600 is rotated to overlap with the frame 500 in the front-rear direction, the hook extension 620 is inserted into the extension fixing portion 531, and the hook portion 600 can be completely hooked onto the hook receiving portion 512.

[0237] FIG. 15 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the hanger and the connecting part of the clothing treating device of the present invention.

[0238] According to one embodiment, the connecting parts 700 and 800 may be provided so that the hook part 600 can rotate in the height direction of the frame 500. Thus, the hook part 600 can rotate via the connecting parts 700 and 800 to change the distance between the frame 500 and the hanger part 410 or the hook part 430.

[0239] When the hook portion 600 is rotated, the hook portion 600 and the frame 500 may be provided to overlap in the front-rear direction or the width direction.

[0240] The connecting parts 700 and 800 may include a rotating part 800 connected to the hook part 600 and having at least a portion inserted into the frame 500 to rotate. The rotating part 800 may be inserted into the protruding support part 511.

[0241] The frame 500 may include a body 510 to which the hook 600 is connected, and a hook receiving portion 512 in which at least a portion of the body 510 is recessed to receive at least a portion of the hook 600.

[0242] According to one embodiment, the hook receiving portion 512 may be provided so that the hook portion 600 can rotate while completely passing through the body portion 510. In other words, the frame 500 can be rotated toward the hook portion 600 to completely receive the hook portion 600.

[0243] The frame 500 may be provided symmetrically in the width direction around the body 510. Thus, even if the frame 500 rotates and the hook 600 is received in the hook receiving portion 512, the rotated frame 500 can support the hung garment.

[0244] 15(a), the hook portion 600 can rotate toward the frame 500 via the rotating portion 800. In this case, it can also be considered that the frame 500 rotates based on the hook portion 600. At least a portion of the hook portion 600 overlaps the frame 500 in the front-rear direction and is not exposed at the top end of the frame 500. As a result, the gap between the frame 500 and the hanging portion 430 is reduced, and the clothing is raised from the bottom surface of the inner case 200 by that amount. Therefore, even when long clothing is hung on the frame 500, the bottom end of the clothing can be prevented from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0245] As shown in Figure 15(b), when the hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500 and is hung on the hanging portion 430, if clothing that is longer than the distance between the frame 500 and the bottom surface of the inner case 200 is hung on the frame 500, the lower end of the clothing may come into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0246] FIG. 16 is a diagram showing the rotation process of the connecting portion.

[0247] 16(a), (b), and (c) show states in which the hook portion 600 is rotated 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees relative to the frame 500, respectively. These states can also be considered as states in which the hook portion 600 is fixed and the frame 500 is rotated 0 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees.

[0248] 16(a) shows the case where the hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500. The hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500 and can be hung on the hanging portion 430.

[0249] According to one embodiment, the hook receiving portion 512 may include a hook receiving hole 5121 through which the body portion 510 passes and which completely receives the hook portion 600. The frame 500 may include a central frame 513 that forms the appearance of the hook receiving hole 5121.

[0250] The support wings 520 extend widthwise from both sides of the central frame 513 and further include first wings 521 and second wings 522 on which clothes can be hung, and the first wings 521 and second wings 522 may be spaced apart from each other to allow the clothes to pass through.

[0251] The first wing 521 may be provided to approach the central frame 513 to which the hook portion 600 is connected, and the second wing 522 may be provided to approach the central frame 513 to which the hook portion 600 is not connected.

[0252] The first wing 521 may be provided to be inclined toward the bottom surface of the inner case 200, and the second wing 522 may be provided parallel to the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0253] When the hook portion 600 is exposed at the upper end of the frame 500 , the clothes can be hung on the first wing 521 .

[0254] FIG. 16(b) shows a case where the hook portion 600 is rotated to be perpendicular to the frame 500 and exposed at the upper end of the frame 500.

[0255] The support wing 520 may further include a support hole 523 formed between the first wing 521 and the second wing 522, so that clothing such as a scarf can pass through the support hole 523 and be hung on at least one of the central frame 513, the first wing 521, and the second wing 522 and supported.

[0256] At this time, the structure by which the hook portion 600 is fixed without further rotation will be described later.

[0257] 16(c) shows a case where the hook portion 600 is rotated toward the frame 500, and the entire hook portion 600 overlaps the frame 500 in the width direction. That is, the hook portion 600 can overlap the central frame 513 in the width direction.

[0258] With the hook portion 600 hung on the hanging portion 430, the user rotates the frame 500 toward the hook portion 600 so that the side of the frame 500 to which the hook portion 600 is not connected is hung on the hanging portion 430. In this way, by hanging the clothing on the second wing 522, the user can prevent the lower end of the clothing from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200, even if the clothing is relatively long.

[0259] In addition, since the second wing 522 is provided parallel to the bottom surface of the inner case 200, it is less susceptible to the influence of gravity compared to when the clothes are hung on the first wing 521, and the clothes can be prevented from falling off the hanger 420.

[0260] The frame 500 may further include a frame fixing part 530 formed by recessing a portion of the central frame 513 and fixing the hook part 600. Specifically, when the hook part 600 is rotated toward the frame 500 and the entire hook part 600 overlaps the frame 500 in the width direction, the hook extension part 620 is supported by the frame fixing part 530 and may be prevented from rotating.

[0261] According to an embodiment, the rotating part 800 may further include a guide rib 810 that protrudes from the rotating part 800 and guides the angle at which the rotating part 800 is rotated.

[0262] The central frame 513 may further include a rotation unit fixing part 532 configured to accommodate the rotation unit 800. The rotation unit fixing part 532 may further include a groove into which the guide rib 810 is inserted.

[0263] Thus, the hook portion 600 can guide the rotatable angle relative to the frame 500 and prevent rotation.

[0264] FIG. 17 is a diagram showing an embodiment of the hanger and cover of the clothing treatment device of the present invention.

[0265] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a clothing treatment device comprising: a cabinet 100; an inner case 200 provided inside the cabinet 100 and providing a space for storing clothing; a hanger unit 410 provided on the upper part of the inner case 200 and supporting the weight of the clothing; a hanger 420 hung on the hanger unit 410 to hang the clothing; and a cover unit 700 detachably provided on the hanger 420 and supporting the clothing above the hanger 420.

[0266] The cover part 700 may include a connecting part 800 connected to the hanger 420 and a garment support part 900 extending from the connecting part 800 and spaced apart above the hanger 420 .

[0267] As a result, when the clothing is hung on the cover part 700, the position of the lower end of the clothing is higher than when it is hung on the hanger 420, so that relatively long clothing can be hung and the lower end of the clothing will not come into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0268] The coupling portion 800 may support a portion of the hanger 420 from the outside of the hanger 420 .

[0269] A part of the hanger 420, i.e., the hook portion 600, passes through the connecting portion 800 and is hooked onto the hanger portion 410, and the cover portion 700 may be provided below the hanger portion 410. This allows the cover portion 700 to support the garment without being obstructed by the end of the hanger portion 410.

[0270] The hanger 420 includes a ring-shaped hook portion 600 that is hooked onto the hanger portion 410, and a frame 500 that is connected to the bottom of the hook portion 600 and is located below the garment support portion 900 so that the garment can be placed on it. The connecting portion 800 can be connected to the frame 500.

[0271] FIG. 18 is a diagram showing the process of attaching and detaching the hanger 420 and the cover part 700. As shown in FIG.

[0272] 18(a) shows a state in which the hanger 420 and the cover part 700 are separated, and FIG. 18(b) shows a state in which the hanger 420 and the cover part 700 are combined.

[0273] The cover part 700 may be detachably provided on the hanger 420 in the height direction of the inner case 200 .

[0274] As a result, the user can connect the cover part 700 to the hanger 420 only when hanging long clothes, and when not using the cover part 700, selectively separate it from the hanger 420 and hang short clothes on the hanger 420.

[0275] Therefore, the user can selectively attach or detach the cover part 700 to or from the hanger 420 according to the length of the clothes, thereby increasing convenience.

[0276] Meanwhile, the hanger 420 is provided in a ring shape and includes a hook portion 600 that is hung on the hanger portion, a main body portion 510 that is connected to the hook portion 600 so that a part of the hook portion 600 is accommodated therein, and a pair of support wings 520 that extend from both sides of the main body portion 510 and on which clothes can be hung, and the clothes support portion 900 can be provided above the support wings 520.

[0277] As a result, when the clothing is hung on the cover part 700, the position of the lower end of the clothing is higher than when it is hung on the hanger 420, so that relatively long clothing can be hung and the lower end of the clothing will not come into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0278] Meanwhile, there is a problem that the clothes may fall off the hanger 420 due to vibration or movement of the hanger 420 or wind supplied to the inside of the inner case 200 during the clothes processing process.

[0279] Furthermore, in the case of clothing with an open front, the relative center of gravity is at the rear, and the center of the neck portion of the clothing is away from the center of the hanger 430, causing the center of gravity of the clothing to move away from the hanger 430. As a result, the repeated movement of the hanger part 410 and the steam and wind flowing into the inner case 200 weaken the fixation of the clothing, causing the clothing to fall off.

[0280] In particular, when light clothing or clothing with a hood is hung, the risk of the clothing falling off increases.

[0281] Therefore, the clothing treatment device of the present invention aims to provide a clothing treatment device having a hanger that minimizes the rearward movement of the center of gravity of the clothing, thereby preventing the clothing from falling.

[0282] For this purpose, the garment support part 900 may be provided parallel to the bottom surface of the inner case 200. This minimizes the rearward shift of the center of gravity of the garment, thereby preventing the garment from falling off the hanger due to gravity.

[0283] The front-to-rear thickness of the garment support part 900 may be thinner than that of the support wings 520. That is, by minimizing the front-to-rear thickness of the cover part 700 on which the garment is hung, it is possible to minimize the rearward shift of the center of gravity of the garment.

[0284] The cover part 700 further includes a pair of protruding support parts 711 that protrude upward from the upper part of the coupling part 800 to support the garment, and the hook part 600 may be provided between the protruding support parts 711.

[0285] At this time, there is a problem that hanger marks may be formed on the neck and shoulders of the garment due to the thin front-to-back thickness of the cover part 700. To address this, the cover part 700 may further include a pair of protruding support parts 711 that protrude upward from the upper part of the connecting part 800 and support the garment. The garment is supported by the protruding support parts 711, thereby minimizing hanger marks.

[0286] The connecting part 800 includes a cover body 710 that accommodates the main body part 510 and is connected to the main body part 510, and the garment support part 900 includes a pair of cover wings 720 that extend from both sides of the cover body 710 in the width direction of the cover body 710 and on which garments can be hung.

[0287] The pair of cover wings 720 may be provided parallel to the bottom surface of the inner case 200 and may be thinner than the support wings 520 .

[0288] The cover part 700 may further include cover end parts 721 that are curved downward from the ends of the pair of cover wings 720 and support shoulder parts of the garment.

[0289] The cover body 710 may further include a receiving hole 712 provided between the cover bodies 710 and through which the hanger 420 passes.

[0290] As a result, when the cover part 700 is coupled to the hanger 420, the hook part 600 may be exposed between the protruding support parts 711. Therefore, even when the cover part 700 is coupled to the hanger 420, the hook part 600 can be hung on the hanging part 430.

[0291] The receiving holes 712 may be provided between the protruding support portions 711 .

[0292] FIG. 19 is a cross-sectional view of the hanger and cover portion.

[0293] FIG. 19 shows a cross section of the hanger 420 and the cover part 700 when they are joined together.

[0294] The present invention provides a clothing disposal device that allows the user to easily attach and detach the cover part 700 to the hanger 420, thereby improving user convenience.

[0295] Specifically, the hanger 420 further includes a lower coupling portion 530 that is coupled to the main body portion 510 to form the lower surface of the main body portion 510, and the lower coupling portion 530 may be provided to protrude downward from the main body portion 510.

[0296] The cover part 700 may include a protruding coupling part 730 that is provided to protrude from the lower part of the cover body 710 toward the lower coupling part 530 and prevents the cover part 700 from being separated from the main body part 510.

[0297] The protruding coupling portion 730 may include an inclined surface 731 provided inside the protruding coupling portion 730 so as to be inclined downward toward the lower coupling portion 530, and which guides the cover portion 700 to be slidably separated from the main body portion 510.

[0298] When a user inserts the hanger 420 into the receiving hole 710 to couple the cover body 710 and the main body part 510, the protruding coupling part 730 supports the lower coupling part 530, and the cover body 710 supports the main body part 510 from the outside, thereby preventing the cover part 700 from coming off the hanger 420.

[0299] On the other hand, when separating, the user can easily separate the cover part 700 from the hanger 420 by sliding the protruding coupling part 730 upward from the lower coupling part 530 along the inclined surface 731.

[0300] Fig. 20 is a view showing another embodiment of the hanger and cover of the clothing treating device of the present invention, and Fig. 21 is a view showing the process of attaching and detaching the hanger and cover.

[0301] 21(a) shows a state in which the hanger 420 and the cover part 700 are separated, and FIG. 21(b) shows a state in which the hanger 420 and the cover part 700 are combined.

[0302] According to one embodiment, the hanger 420 includes a ring-shaped hook portion 600 that is hung on the hanger portion 410, a main body portion 510 that is connected to the hook portion 600 so that a portion of the hook portion 600 is received therein, and a pair of support wings 520 that extend from both sides of the main body portion 510 and on which garments can be hung, and the garment support portion 900 may be located above the support wings 520.

[0303] During the process of processing clothes, there is a problem that clothes fall off from the hanger 420 due to vibration or movement of the hanger 420 or wind supplied to the inside of the inner case 200.

[0304] Furthermore, in the case of clothing with an open front, the relative center of gravity is located at the rear, and the center of the neck of the clothing is away from the center of the hanger 430, causing the center of gravity of the clothing to move away from the hanger 430. As a result, the repeated movement of the hanger part 410 and the steam and wind flowing into the inner case 200 weaken the fixation of the clothing, causing the clothing to fall off.

[0305] In particular, concerns about clothes falling off increased when light clothing or hooded clothing was hung.

[0306] Therefore, the clothing treatment device of the present invention aims to provide a clothing treatment device having a hanger that minimizes the rearward movement of the center of gravity of the clothing, thereby preventing the clothing from falling.

[0307] For this purpose, the garment support part 900 or the pair of cover wings 720 may be provided parallel to the bottom surface of the inner case 200. This minimizes the rearward movement of the center of gravity of the garment, and prevents the garment from falling off the hanger due to gravity.

[0308] The front-to-rear thickness of the garment support part 900 or the pair of cover wings 720 may be thinner than that of the support wings 520. That is, by minimizing the front-to-rear thickness of the cover part 700 on which the garment is hung, it is possible to minimize the rearward shift of the center of gravity of the garment.

[0309] Fig. 22 is a diagram showing another embodiment of the hanger and cover of the clothing treatment device of the present invention, and Fig. 23 is a diagram showing the process of attaching and detaching the hanger and cover.

[0310] 23(a) shows a state in which the hanger 420 and the cover part 700 are separated, and FIG. 23(b) shows a state in which the hanger 420 and the cover part 700 are combined.

[0311] The connecting part 800 includes a cover body 710 that accommodates the main body part 510 and is connected to the main body part 510, and the garment support part 900 includes a pair of cover wings 720 that extend from both sides of the cover body 710 in the width direction of the cover body 710 and on which garments can be hung.

[0312] When long clothes such as a long down coat or a dress are hung on the hanger 420 installed inside the inner case 200 of the clothing processing device, the bottom of the clothes comes into contact with the bottom of the inner case 200, causing dust and other particles to adhere to the clothes.

[0313] If the lower end of the clothing or fallen clothing comes into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200, the flow path of the steam or hot air supply section located at the bottom of the cabinet will be blocked, resulting in a decrease in performance and a risk of heat generation, and the clothing may come into direct contact with the steam or hot air and be damaged.

[0314] Therefore, the clothing disposal device of the present invention aims to provide a clothing disposal device having a hanger that prevents the lower end of the clothing from contacting the bottom surface of the inner case 200 even when long clothing is hung on the hanger.

[0315] For this purpose, the garment support part 900 or the pair of cover wings 720 may be provided to be inclined toward the bottom surface of the inner case 200 .

[0316] In this case, the support wings 520 may also be inclined toward the bottom surface of the inner case 200, and the clothing support part 900 or the pair of cover wings 720 may be inclined at the same angle as the support wings 520.

[0317] As a result, when the clothing is hung on the cover part 700, the position of the lower end of the clothing is higher than when it is hung on the hanger 420, allowing relatively long clothing to be hung and preventing the lower end of the clothing from coming into contact with the bottom surface of the inner case 200.

[0318] FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a hanger with adjustable wings of the clothing treating device of the present invention.

[0319] The hanger 420 may include a hook portion 600 that is hung on the moving hanger 400. The hook portion is hung on the moving hanger and can support the weight of the hanger and the clothes.

[0320] The hanger may include a frame 500 connected to a lower end of the hook and having a receiving space therein. The frame may have a hollow portion therein to form the receiving space.

[0321] The hanger may have one end rotatably connected to both sides of the frame and the other end extending outward from the frame, and may include a hanging portion 520 on which the garment is hung. That is, the hanger may be configured as a hanging portion connected to one side of the receiving space of the frame and extending outward from the frame, and a hanging portion connected to the other side and extending outward from the frame.

[0322] The frame may also include a limiting portion 550 that is received in the receiving space of the frame and connected to one end of the hanging portion to prevent the other end of the hanging portion from rotating downward. The limiting portion may move in the thickness direction of the frame to be connected to the hanging portion, and may be configured such that, when connected, the hanging portion can rotate upward but cannot rotate downward. The structure of the limiting portion will be described later.

[0323] In addition, the other end of the hook 520 may be rotatable downward when separated from the limiting portion 550. The limiting portion may be movable in the thickness direction of the frame to be separated from the hook.

[0324] The frame may further include a button 560 coupled to the limiting portion and separating the hook portion from the limiting portion when an external force is applied. The button may be protruded and exposed to the outside through a button through-hole formed in the frame.

[0325] On the other hand, FIG. 25 is an exploded perspective view of a hanger of the clothing processing device of the present invention.

[0326] The frame 500 may include a rear base 510a that forms a rear surface and to which the limiting portion is movably coupled in a thickness direction of the frame, and a front base 510b that forms a front surface, is coupled to the rear base, and has a through-hole for a button portion. The rear base may be provided with a hook or a groove, and the front base may be provided with a groove or a hook, and the rear base and the front base may be coupled to each other. The receiving space of the frame may refer to the space between the rear base and the front base.

[0327] In addition, the hanger of the present invention may include an elastic member 570 that is provided to press the limiting part 550 into the receiving space of the frame and that provides a restoring force to connect the hanging part 520 and the limiting part when an external force is removed. The elastic member has one end connected to the rear base 510a and the other end connected to the limiting part, and provides a restoring force to move the limiting part to its original position when the external force applied to the limiting part is removed.

[0328] That is, when an external force is applied to the button portion 560, the limiting portion 550 moves toward the rear base 510a, the connection with the hanging portion 520 is released, and the hanging portion can rotate downward; when the external force is removed, the elastic member 570 presses the limiting portion, moving it toward the front base 510b and connecting it with the hanging portion, thereby restricting the downward rotation of the hanging portion.

[0329] Meanwhile, the hanging portion 520 may include a first wing 531 having one end coupled to one side of the frame and extending outward, and a second wing 532 having one end coupled to the other side of the frame and extending outward.

[0330] The first wing may include a first adjustment part 5211 provided at one end of the first wing, at least a portion of which is accommodated in the frame, and which engages with the limiting part 550 to limit rotation, and a first hanging part 5212 extending outward from the first adjustment part to hang clothes.

[0331] The second wing may also include a second adjustment part 5321 provided at one end of the second wing, at least a portion of which is accommodated in the frame, and engages with the limiting part 550 to limit rotation, and a second hanging part 5222 extending outward from the second adjustment part to hang clothes.

[0332] Meanwhile, the limiting part 550 may include a first limiting part 551 that limits the rotation of the first wing 531, a second limiting part 552 that limits the rotation of the second wing 532, and a limiting part connecting part 553 that connects the first limiting part and the second limiting part. Also, the limiting part connecting part may be provided with the button part 560.

[0333] Therefore, when an external force is applied to the button portion 560, the first limiting portion 551 and the second limiting portion 552 are integrally formed by the limiting portion connecting portion, and therefore the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion can move as a unit.

[0334] In addition, the elastic member may include a first elastic member 571 that provides a restoring force to the first limiting portion 551 and a second elastic member 572 that provides a restoring force to the second limiting portion 552, and the first limiting portion and the second limiting portion may be separated from the first adjusting portion and the second adjusting portion when an external force is applied, and may be connected to the first adjusting portion and the second adjusting portion when the external force is removed.

[0335] FIG. 25 shows a configuration in which the elastic member includes the first elastic member and the second elastic member, but three or more elastic members may be provided as long as they are provided on the rear base 510a and configured to pressurize the limiting portion.

[0336] 26 and 27 are diagrams showing the downward movement of the hook portion.

[0337] Referring to FIG. 26, when an external force is applied to the button part 560, the hook part can move upward.

[0338] FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the positional relationship between the adjustment portion and the restriction portion when an external force is applied to the button portion 560. As shown in FIG.

[0339] 27 is shown based on the first wing 531 and the first limiting portion 551, the same applies to the second wing 532 and the second limiting portion 552. The following description will be given based on the first wing and the first limiting portion.

[0340] When an external force is applied to the button part 560, the first limiting part 551 may move toward the rear base 510a. When the first limiting part moves, the connection between the first adjusting part 5211 and the first limiting part is released, and the first wing may rotate downward due to gravity applied to the first hanging part 5212.

[0341] When the angle of the first wing returns to its original state and the external force is removed, the first elastic member 571 returns the first limiting portion 551 to its original position, and when the first limiting portion returns to its original position, the first locking portion 5512 engages with the first protrusion 5211a, restricting the downward rotation of the first wing.

[0342] The same applies to the second wing and the second limiting portion.

[0343] Therefore, an external force applied to the button part 560 can simultaneously restore the first wing and the second wing to their original states.

[0344] 28 and 29 are diagrams showing the case where the hook portion 520 rotates upward.

[0345] Referring to FIG. 28, when an external force is applied upward to the hook 520, the hook can move upward.

[0346] FIG. 29 is a diagram showing the positional relationship between the adjustment portion and the restriction portion when the hook portion 520 moves upward.

[0347] The first limiting portion 551 includes a first circular plate 5511 having one surface pressed by the first elastic member 571 and a plurality of first locking portions 5512 protruding from the other surface of the first circular plate and provided along the periphery of the first circular plate, and the first adjusting portion 5211 may include a plurality of first protrusions 5211a provided to engage with the plurality of first locking portions.

[0348] In addition, the second limiting portion 552 includes a second circular plate 5521 having one surface pressed by the second elastic member 572 and a plurality of second locking portions 5522 protruding from the other surface of the second circular plate and provided along the periphery of the second circular plate, and the second adjusting portion 5321 may include a plurality of second protrusions 5422a provided to engage with the plurality of second locking portions.

[0349] The plurality of first locking portions 5512 and the plurality of second locking portions 5522 may be inclined to become higher in a direction in which the first wing 531 and the second wing 532 rotate upward.

[0350] 29 is illustrated based on the first wing 531 and the first limiting portion 551, the same applies to the second wing 532 and the second limiting portion 552. The following description will be given based on the first wing and the first limiting portion.

[0351] When an external force is applied upward to the other end of the first wing 531, the first adjustment part 5211 can rotate clockwise. Therefore, the first locking parts 5512 may have an inclined surface that inclines so that the height increases clockwise, and a stepped surface that forms a step through the inclined surface.

[0352] Therefore, the first protrusion 5211a may have an inclined surface that is inclined so that the height increases counterclockwise, and a stepped surface that forms a step through the inclined surface.

[0353] As a result, when the first wing 531 moves upward, the first protrusion 5211a rotates clockwise and moves along the inclined surface of the first locking portion 5512, and the limiting portion 550 can be moved toward the rear base 510a until the highest point of the first protrusion passes the highest point of the first locking portion.

[0354] When the highest point of the first protrusion 5211a passes through the highest point of the first locking portion 5512 and reaches the stepped surface, the restricting portion 550 is returned to its original position by the elastic member 570, and the first locking portion and the stepped surface of the first protrusion may engage with each other. After that, when the step surface is engaged and the force is applied upward, the downward movement of the first wing 531 may be restricted.

[0355] Therefore, the angle of the first wing can be adjusted by simply applying an upward external force to the first wing without performing any special operation. Furthermore, the higher the density of the first locking portions and the first protrusions, the more precisely the angle of the first wing can be adjusted.

[0356] The second blade and the second limiting portion are similar to the first blade and the first limiting portion, except that the rotation direction is opposite.

[0357] FIG. 30 is a diagram showing a state in which the hook portion is fixed to the frame.

[0358] The hook portion 600 may include a hook ring 610 that is hung on the moving hanger 400, a hook extension portion 620 that extends from the hook ring and is received in the receiving space of the frame 500, and a hook fixing portion 630 that is provided to fix the hook extension portion to the frame.

[0359] The hook fixing part 630 can fix the hook extension part so that the hook part and the hanging part are arranged on the same plane and cannot rotate, thereby reducing the external force caused by twisting of the hung clothes and preventing the hung clothes from falling off.

[0360] FIG. 31 is a view showing a link portion 580 provided to connect the first wing and the second wing.

[0361] The link part 580 may be provided to connect the first wing and the second wing and rotate them at the same angle.

[0362] The link part 580 may include a first connecting rod 581 having one end connected to the first wing 531 and the other end having a through hole, a second connecting rod 582 having one end connected to the second wing 532 and the other end having a through hole, and a through pin 583 connected to the rear base so as to be vertically movable and passing through the through hole of the first connecting rod and the through hole of the second connecting rod at the same time.

[0363] The through pin 583 passes through the through hole of the first connecting rod and the through hole of the second connecting rod simultaneously, so that the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod can be configured to move simultaneously.

[0364] That is, when an upward external force acts on the first wing 531, the first connecting rod 581 moves downward, and the through pin 583, which is connected to the first connecting rod, moves downward together, and the through pin is connected to the second connecting rod 582, so the second connecting rod also moves downward, causing the second wing 532 to rotate upward. The reverse is also true.

[0365] Furthermore, the rear base may include a guide groove 5101 to which the through pin is coupled so as to be movable up and down, and which guides the through pin's movement up and down, thereby allowing the through pin to move uniformly.

[0366] The link part 580 adjusts the angles of the first and second wings to be the same, so that the clothes hung on the hanger can be balanced and the clothes can be prevented from falling off.

[0367] The present invention can be embodied in various forms, and the scope of the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Therefore, if a modified embodiment includes elements recited in the claims of the present invention, it should be considered to fall within the scope of the invention.
