Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a clothes treating device, and more particularly to a clothes treating device including an upper first treating device and a lower second treating device. [Background technology]

[0002] A clothes treating device is a device in which laundry such as clothes and bedding is placed in a drum and subjected to necessary treatment for the laundry, such as removing dirt from the laundry or drying it.

[0003] When a laundry treatment device is installed to remove dirt from laundry, the laundry treatment device performs processes such as washing, rinsing, spin-drying, and drying, and laundry treatment devices are classified into top-loading and front-loading types depending on the way laundry is loaded into the drum.

[0004] The laundry treatment device includes a cabinet that forms the exterior, a tub housed in the cabinet, a drum rotatably mounted in the tub and into which laundry is placed, and a detergent supply device that supplies detergent into the drum.

[0005] When washing water is supplied to the laundry contained in the drum and the drum is rotated by a motor, dirt on the laundry is removed by friction between the drum and the washing water.

[0006] The detergent supplying device has a detergent supplying function to improve the washing effect. Here, the detergent refers to a substance for improving the washing effect, such as a fabric detergent, fabric softener, or fabric bleach. The detergent may be in powder form or liquid form.

[0007] On the other hand, when the clothes treating device is provided for drying laundry, the clothes treating device provides dry air to the laundry to remove moisture from the laundry.

[0008] The laundry treatment device comprises a cabinet, a drum rotatably provided within the cabinet, and heating means for heating or drying air supplied to the laundry.

[0009] Dry air is supplied to the laundry contained in the drum, and the moisture present in the laundry is evaporated and removed by the dry air, thereby removing moisture from the laundry.

[0010] Korean Laid-Open Publication No. KR10-2018-0021921 A1 discloses a clothing processing device equipped with multiple processing devices. In this clothing processing device, a first processing device is provided on the upper side and a second processing device is provided on the lower side. The first processing device and the second processing device each have an operation unit and a display unit.

[0011] However, the clothing processing device disclosed in the above-mentioned published document has a structure in which multiple processing devices that are distinct from each other have their own operation unit and display unit, and in this case, the user needs to check the status of each of the multiple processing devices and operate each of the multiple processing devices, which is disadvantageous in operating multiple processing devices in conjunction with each other.

[0012] Furthermore, the processing equipment includes different electrical consumption devices, and leakage may occur from the electrical consumption devices or electrical wires due to water, moisture, refrigerant, or other substances in the processing equipment.

[0013] When a leak occurs in a situation where multiple processing devices are installed, it can affect not only the processing device itself but also other electrical consuming devices within the processing devices.

[0014] Therefore, in a clothing processing device equipped with multiple processing devices, it is an important issue to improve the user's convenience in checking or operating the operating status of the multiple processing devices and to prevent the multiple processing devices from being unintentionally electrically connected to each other, causing malfunction or damage.

[0105] In one embodiment of the present invention, both the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 are provided to enable the user to perform an efficient clothing processing process, and a single control panel 200 for efficient operation of the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 is disposed between the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122 to improve convenience of use.

[0106] In addition, in order to stably fix and use the control panel 200 provided between the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122, a lower frame 300 is provided at the bottom of the first processing device 10 behind the control panel 200, and by combining the lower frame 300 and the control panel 200, the control panel 200 can be effectively and stably combined and fixed.

[0107] Referring to FIG. 3, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 is coupled to the first side panels 115 on both sides in the lateral direction (Y) facing each other.

[0108] In the present invention, the front-rear direction (X), the side direction (Y), and the up-down direction (Z) of each component are all defined in parallel. For example, the front-rear direction (X) of the first processing device 10 is defined to be the same as the front-rear direction (X) of the second processing device 20, the control panel 200, the lower frame 300, etc., and the side direction (Y) and the up-down direction (Z) are also defined to be the same.

[0109] Both sides of the lower frame 300 in the side direction (Y) are connected to the first side panel 115. The lower frame 300 is provided at the lower part of the front side of the first processing device 10, and both sides in the side direction (Y) face the first side panel 115 at the rear.

[0110] As will be described later, the first side panel 115 includes a front end bent portion 116 extending from its front end, and the lower frame 300 is connected to the front end bent portion 116 of the first side panel 115. Various connection methods may be used, such as screw connection, rivet connection, or fitting connection.

[0111] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 is connected to the first side panel 115 on both sides in the lateral direction (Y), and the control panel 200 arranged at the front is connected to the lower frame 300, so that the control panel 200 connected together with the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 between the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122 can have a stable fixed structure.

[0112] 4, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 includes a main frame surface 310. The main frame surface 310 extends along the lateral direction (Y) of the first processing device 10 and separates the interior of the first processing device 10 from the control panel 200.

[0113] Specifically, the main frame surface 310 of the lower frame 300 is disposed next to the front surface 210 of the control panel 200. The main frame surface 310 extends in the lateral direction (Y) and is coupled to the first side panel 115 at both ends.

[0114] The main frame surface 310 is disposed between the interior of the first processing device 10 and the interior of the control panel 200 to separate them. Various interior components are installed inside the first processing device 10, and a large amount of water or high-temperature airflow may be present as needed. During use of the first processing device 10, unintended water leakage may occur or the device may be affected by the airflow.

[0115] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 has a main frame surface 310 that separates the control panel 200 from the inside of the first processing device 10, thereby minimizing the effect of water and temperature changes present inside the first processing device 10 on the control panel 200.

[0116] The main frame surface 310 can have various shapes as needed, and as will be described later, can secure space for arranging the interior components of the first processing device 10, including the protrusion 316, and can effectively separate the control panel 200 from the interior of the first processing device 10.

[0117] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the main frame surface 310 is provided with a connection hole 312 through which a signal connection line 314 for connecting the first processing device 10 and the control panel 200 via signals passes.

[0118] The control panel 200 is provided with the above-mentioned electrical component 224, which is connected to sensors, motors, or the control unit of the first processing device 10 provided in the first processing device 10.

[0119] For this purpose, a signal connection line 314 extends from inside the first processing device 10 to the electrical component section 224 of the control panel 200, and the signal connection line 314 connects the components of the first processing device 10 and the control panel 200 via signals.

[0120] Meanwhile, the control panel 200 is fixed by a lower frame 300, and the lower frame 300 includes a main frame surface 310 that separates the control panel 200 from the interior of the first processing device 10, and the main frame surface 310 is provided with a connection hole 312 through which a signal connection line 314 passes.

[0121] The signal connecting wire 314 can have various forms, for example, a connecting jack or a connecting pot, which passes through the connecting hole 312 and is connected to the electrical component 224 .

[0122] The position and shape of the connection hole 312 may also vary. Fig. 5 shows a front view of the lower frame 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Fig. 5, the connection hole 312 is provided on one side of the main frame surface 310 in the lateral direction (Y), and is provided on the lower side of that side, so that the signal connection line 314 can be effectively connected to the electrical component part 224.

[0123] 6 is a side view of a lower frame 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 4 to 6, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 further includes an upper end extension 320 and an upper coupling portion 350.

[0124] The upper extension 320 extends forward from the upper side of the main frame surface 310 , and the upper coupling portion 350 protrudes upward from the upper extension 320 and is coupled to the lower portion of the first front panel 112 .

[0125] The upper end extension 320 extends forward from the upper side of the main frame surface 310 and is located below the first front panel 112. The upper end extension 320 extends in the lateral direction (Y) like the main frame surface 310 and extends forward from the main frame surface 310.

[0126] The upper coupling part 350 is provided on the upper end extension part 320. The upper coupling part 350 protrudes upward from the upper end extension part 320 located below the first front panel 112 and is coupled to the lower part of the first front panel 112.

[0127] The number, position, and shape of the upper connecting portion 350 and the connecting method with the first front panel 112 may vary depending on the needs. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first front panel 112 includes a lower end bending portion 113, and the upper connecting portion 350 includes a panel inserting portion 353 that is inserted into the lower end bending portion 113.

[0128] Specifically, the first front panel 112 includes a lower bent portion 113 extending rearward from its lower end. The lower bent portion 113 is bent at the lower end of the front surface of the first front panel 112.

[0129] The lower bent portion 113 is provided next to the upper extension portion 320 , and the upper joining portion 350 includes a panel insertion portion 353 that protrudes toward the lower bent portion 113 and passes through the lower bent portion 113 .

[0130] The panel insertion portion 353 passes through the lower bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112 and is inserted into the lower portion of the first front panel 112. The upper coupling portion 350 is coupled to the first front panel 112 as the panel insertion portion 353 passes through the lower bent portion 113.

[0131] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 is connected to and fixed with the first side panel 115, connected to the front control panel 200 to fix the control panel 200, and connected to the first front panel 112 via the upper end extension 320 to support the first front panel 112, thereby effectively improving the structural stability of the clothing treatment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0132] FIG. 7 shows the state in which the panel insertion portion 353 is inserted into the lower end bending portion 113 of the first front panel 112 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 8 shows a cross-sectional view of the state in which the lower frame 300, the control panel 200, and the first front panel 112 are fastened together.

[0133] 6 to 8, in one embodiment of the present invention, the panel inserting portion 353 extends at least partially inclined so that the upper end is positioned forward of the lower end.

[0134] That is, the panel insertion portion 353 is inclined forward as it approaches the upper portion. The inclined portion of the panel insertion portion 353 may be formed over the entire panel insertion portion 353 or only over a portion thereof.

[0135] The panel insertion portion 353 extends at an angle, so that its upper end is positioned closer to the front side, which causes the lower end bending portion 113 of the first front panel 112 to move from the front to the rear, making it easier to insert the panel insertion portion 353 and strengthening the fixing force of the first front panel 112 with the panel insertion portion 353 inserted.

[0136] 6 and 8, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper extension 320 is spaced downward from the first front panel 112, and the upper coupling portion 350 further includes an upward extension 354. The upward extension 354 extends from the upper extension 320 toward the lower bending portion 113. In addition, the panel insertion portion 353 is provided at the upper end of the upward extension 354 and passes through the lower bending portion 113.

[0137] The first front panel 112, for example, the lower bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112 and the upper extension portion 320 are spaced apart from each other. The upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 is inserted between the upper extension portion 320 and the first front panel 112.

[0138] The upper joint portion 350 includes a rising extension portion 354 extending upward from the upper end extension portion 320 , and a panel insert portion 353 extending from the rising extension portion 354 is inserted into the first front panel 112 .

[0139] The upper fastening portion includes a first upper fastening portion and a second upper fastening portion. The first upper fastening portion includes the rising extension portion 354. That is, the first upper fastening portion includes the rising extension portion 354 extending from the upper end extension portion 320 to the lower end bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112, and the panel insertion portion 353 is provided at the upper end of the rising extension portion 354 and is inserted into the first front panel 112 through the lower end bent portion 113.

[0140] The shape and extension direction of the rising extension portion 354 may vary, and FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention in which a plate-shaped panel insertion portion 353 extending inclined forward is provided at the upper end of the plate-shaped rising extension portion 354.

[0141] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper connecting portion 350 may include an upper support portion 356, and the panel insert portion 353 may be provided in the upper support portion 356. For example, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper connecting portion 350 may include a second upper connecting portion 352, and the second upper connecting portion 352 may include an upper support portion 356, and the panel insert portion 353 may be provided in the upper support portion 356.

[0142] Specifically, the upper support portion 356 is provided on the upper end extension portion 320 and supports the lower end bent portion 113. That is, the upper end of the upper support portion 356 contacts the lower end bent portion 113 and supports the lower end bent portion 113 upward.

[0143] The upper support portion 356 has a surface for supporting the lower bent portion 113 or is provided in a protruding shape to contact the lower bent portion 113 .

[0144] When the upper joint portion 350 is provided with the upper support portion 356 , for example, in the case of the second upper joint portion 352 including the upper support portion 356 , the panel insertion portion 353 is provided on the upper support portion 356 and passes through the lower end bent portion 113 .

[0145] That is, the second upper joining portion 352 is provided so that the upper support portion 356 contacts the lower end bending portion 113 at the upper end extension portion 320, and the panel insertion portion 353 is provided so as to protrude upward from the upper support portion 356 contacting the lower end bending portion 113 and penetrates the lower end bending portion 113.

[0146] As described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper connecting portion 350 is configured to include the upper support portion 356 that supports the lower end bending portion 113, and the lower portion of the first front panel 112 is supported upward by the lower frame 300, thereby providing structural stability.

[0147] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the upper support portion 356 is spaced upward from the upper end extension portion 320 and includes an upper support surface 357 that is arranged alongside the lower end bending portion 113 and supports the lower end bending portion 113, and the panel insertion portion 353 extends from the upper support surface 357.

[0148] The upper support surface 357 is provided adjacent to the lower end bent portion 113 and also adjacent to the upper end extension portion 320. That is, the upper support surface 357 is provided in a form offset upward from the upper end extension portion 320.

[0149] The upper support surface 357 preferably comes into surface contact with the lower surface of the lower end bent portion 113 to support the first front panel 112 .

[0150] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper support portion 356 further includes an upper connecting portion 358 that connects the upper support surface 357 and the upper end extension portion 320, and the panel insertion portion 353 is provided at the front end of the upper support surface 357 and extends at least partially inclined so that the upper end is located further forward than the lower end.

[0151] The upper support surface 357 is formed in a plate shape and is arranged next to the lower bent portion 113, and is connected to the upper extension portion 320 by an upper connecting portion 358. That is, the upper support surface 357 of the upper support portion 356 is connected to the upper extension portion 320 by the upper connecting portion 358.

[0152] The upper connecting portion 358 may be provided in various shapes, and Figures 5 and 6 show an embodiment of the present invention in which the upper connecting portion 358 is provided in an approximately plate-like shape and extends from one side of the upper support surface 357 toward the upper end extension portion 320.

[0153] Meanwhile, in the case of the second upper coupling part 352 having the upper support part 356, the panel insertion part 353 extends upward from the front end, i.e., the front edge, of the upper support surface 357. As a result, the first front panel 112 is supported on the upper support surface 357 while moving rearward above the lower frame 300, and the panel insertion part 353 penetrates the lower end bent part 113 to be coupled.

[0154] In addition, the upper connecting portions 358 are provided on both sides and the rear end side of the upper support surface 357 to stably fix the upper support surface 357 to the upper end extension portion 320 .

[0155] In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper connecting portion 350 includes a first upper connecting portion 351 having an upward extension portion 354 and connecting to the first front panel 112, and a second upper connecting portion 352 including an upper support portion 356 and supporting and fixing the first front panel 112, thereby efficiently determining the connecting strength and supporting strength between the first front panel 112 and the lower frame 300. The number and positions of the first upper connecting portions 351 and the second upper connecting portions 352 may vary as required.

[0156] FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the present invention in which a first upper connecting portion 351 is provided on both sides of the upper end extension portion 320 in the lateral direction (Y), and a second upper connecting portion 352 is provided on the center side of the upper end extension portion 320.

[0157] Meanwhile, FIG. 9 shows the control panel 200 separated forward from the lower frame 300, and FIG. 10 shows the lower frame 300 and the control panel 200 of FIG. 9 joined together.

[0158] 9 and 10, in a clothing treatment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 includes side end extensions 330, which extend forward on both sides of the lower frame 300 and are connected to the control panel 200.

[0159] As described above, the lower frame 300 has a main frame surface 310 that separates the control panel 200 from the inside of the first processing device 10, and is provided with an upper end extension 320 for supporting and fixing the lower part of the first front panel 112.

[0160] Furthermore, in one embodiment of the present invention, side end extensions 330 are provided extending forward from both sides of the lateral direction (Y) of the main frame surface 310, so that the lower frame 300 is connected to the first front panel 112 on the upper side and also connected to the front control panel 200 via the side end extensions 330, thereby realizing efficient space utilization and connection structure.

[0161] The side extensions 330 include a first side extension 332 provided on one side of the lower frame 300 in the lateral direction (Y) and a second side extension 334 provided on the other side of the lower frame 300 in the lateral direction (Y).

[0162] In addition, the first side end extension portion 332 includes a hook insertion portion 336 into which a side hook 246 provided on the control panel 200 is inserted, and the second side end extension portion 334 includes a through-coupling portion 338 that is coupled to a through-coupling member 248 that penetrates the control panel 200.

[0163] Figure 9 shows the second side end extension 334, which includes a through-connecting portion 338 to which the through-hole member 248 is connected, and Figure 11 shows the first side end extension 332, which is provided with a hook insertion portion 336, as viewed from the rear.

[0164] The first side end extension 332 includes a hook insertion portion 336 into which a side hook 246 provided on the control panel 200 is inserted. The control panel 200 includes a first side portion 242 on one side in the lateral direction (Y), and the side hook 246 is provided on the inside of the first side portion 242.

[0165] Specifically, the first side end extension portion 332 is provided on one side of the main frame surface 310 in the lateral direction (Y) and is provided to face the inner surface of the first side surface portion 242, and the side hook 246 is provided between the first side surface portion 242 and the first side end extension portion 332.

[0166] The side hooks 246 protrude toward the first side end extension 332 and are inserted into the hook insertion portions 336 of the first side end extension 332 to secure the control panel 200 to the lower frame 300 .

[0167] The side hooks 246 protrude from one side to the other in the lateral direction (Y) of the control panel 200 and are inserted into the first side end extensions 332 of the lower frame 300 .

[0168] However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the control panel 200 further includes a hook extension 247. Figure 13 shows the hook extension 247 and the side hook 246 provided in the first side portion 242 of the control panel 200.

[0169] The hook extension portion 247 extends rearward from the front portion 210, is located between the first side portion 242 and the first side end extension portion 332, is spaced apart from the first side portion 242, and has a side hook 246 provided at its extended end.

[0170] The hook extension portion 247 extends rearward from the rear surface of the front portion 210 of the control panel 200 and is spaced apart from the inner surface of the first side portion 242, i.e., the surface of the first side portion 242 facing the other side of the control panel 200 in the lateral direction (Y).

[0171] The side hook 246 and the hook extension 247 are provided between the first side portion 242 of the control panel 200 and the first side end extension 332 of the lower frame 300, and the side hook 246 is provided at the end of the hook extension 247 spaced apart from the first side portion 242, so that the hook extension 247 is bent and deformed so that the side hook 246 can be inserted into the hook insertion portion 336 during the process of inserting the control panel 200.

[0172] For example, if the hook extension portion 247 is in close contact with the first side portion 242 or the side hook 246 is provided on the inner surface of the first side portion 242, deformation of the first side portion 242 of the control panel 200 itself may occur when the side hook 246 reaches the hook insertion portion 336 of the first side end extension portion 332 during the insertion process of the control panel 200, resulting in inconvenience or damage to the connection.

[0173] However, in one embodiment of the present invention, the side hook 246 is provided on the hook extension portion 247 spaced apart from the first side portion 242, so that during the process of connecting the control panel 200 and the lower frame 300, the hook extension portion 247 is partially bent and the side hook 246 moves toward the hook insertion portion 336, thereby enabling effective connection.

[0174] Meanwhile, the control panel 200 has a second side surface 244 on the other side in the lateral direction (Y), and the side edge extension 330 further includes a second side edge extension 334. The second side edge extension 334 is provided on the other side in the lateral direction (Y) of the main frame surface 310 and faces the inner surface of the second side surface 244.

[0175] The second side portion 244 of the control panel 200 is penetrated by the penetrating member 248, and the second side end extension portion 334 of the lower frame 300 located on the inner side of the second side portion 244 includes a penetrating connection portion 338 to which the penetrating member 248 is connected.

[0176] The through-coupling portion 338 is penetrated by the penetrating member 248 like the second side portion 244, or is coupled by inserting the penetrating member 248 that penetrates the second side portion 244. The penetrating member 248 may have various shapes such as a screw shape or a rivet shape.

[0177] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first side end extension 332 of the lower frame 300 is connected to the first side portion 242 of the control panel 200 via the hook insertion portion 336, and the second side end extension 334 of the lower frame 300 is connected to the second side portion 244 of the control panel 200 via the through-connection portion 338, thereby improving assembly efficiency and realizing a structure with excellent connection stability.

[0178] For example, if the first side end extension 332 and the second side end extension 334 of the lower frame 300 are both hook-connected to the control panel 200 via the hook insertion portion 336, the connection stability is lower than when a connection is made using the penetrating member 248, and it is disadvantageous to separate the control panel 200 when necessary.

[0179] Furthermore, if both the first side end extension 332 and the second side end extension 334 of the lower frame 300 are connected to the control panel 200 using the penetrating member 248, there is no means for fixing the control panel 200 in the appropriate connection position with the lower frame 300, and additional steps and configurations are required in the assembly process, which is disadvantageous.

[0180] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first side portion 242 of the control panel 200 and the first side end extension portion 332 of the lower frame 300 are connected to each other via the side hook 246 and the hook insertion portion 336, thereby effectively fixing the position of the control panel 200 at the initial stage of connection of the control panel 200.

[0181] In addition, the second side portion 244 of the control panel 200 and the second side end extension portion 334 of the lower frame 300 are connected to each other via the through-hole member 248 and the through-hole connecting portion 338, making it easy to connect and disconnect them and maintaining a stable connection structure.

[0182] Referring again to Figures 4 to 8, in one embodiment of the present invention, the main frame surface 310 of the lower frame 300 is curved so that the front surface is convex and the rear surface is concave, and a protrusion 316 is provided at the rear to form a space.

[0183] The protrusion 316 is aligned in the longitudinal direction of the main frame surface 310 and extends along the lateral direction (Y) of the lower frame 300. In addition, the front surface of the protrusion 316 is convex and the rear surface is concave, ensuring space at the rear and preventing interference with components inside the first processing device 10.

[0184] FIG. 8 shows that the base cabinet 15 of the first processing device 10 is provided behind the main frame surface 310 of the lower frame 300 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0185] In Figure 8, the convex portion 316 of the main frame surface 310 is bent to correspond to the base cabinet 15, and space is secured in which the base cabinet 15 can be installed without interference between the base cabinet 15 located at the rear and the lower frame 300.

[0186] The base cabinet 15 is provided on top of the first lower panel 119 of the first processing apparatus 10. The base cabinet 15 may be provided integrally with the first lower panel 119, or may be provided separately from the first lower panel 119 and disposed above the first lower panel 119.

[0187] The protrusion 316 is formed to include the upper side of the main frame surface 310, and an upper end extension 320 extends from the protrusion 316. That is, the protrusion 316 has a shape in which the space on the rear side is open upward.

[0188] The protrusion 316 extends downward from the upper end of the main frame surface 310 along the lateral direction (Y). The connecting hole 312 is provided on the protrusion 316 or is positioned to avoid the protrusion 316.

[0189] The lower frame 300 has a protrusion 316 formed to include the upper end of the main frame surface 310, and the rear space is open upward, so that the arrangement space for the base cabinet 15 and the like located behind the lower frame 300 can be effectively secured, and the support strength of the first front panel 112 supported by the upper end extension 320 can be effectively improved.

[0190] Meanwhile, Figure 12 shows the control panel 200 as viewed from above, Figure 13 shows the underside 230 of the control panel 200 as viewed from the rear, and Figure 14 shows a cross section of the control panel 200 coupled to the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122.

[0191] 12 to 14, in a clothing treatment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the control panel 200 is fixed by connecting its upper portion to the lower portion of the first front panel 112 and its lower portion to the upper portion of the second front panel 122.

[0192] For example, the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 is coupled to the lower part of the first front panel 112, and the lower surface portion 230 of the control panel 200 is coupled to the upper part of the second front panel 122. As described above, the side surface portion 240 of the control panel 200 is coupled to the lower frame 300, and at the same time, the upper surface portion 220 and the lower surface portion 230 are coupled to the first front panel 112 or the second front panel 122, respectively, thereby forming a stable coupled structure.

[0193] There are various ways in which the control panel 200 may be coupled to the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122. For example, the control panel 200 moves from the front to the rear of the lower frame 300 and is inserted between the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122. During the process of inserting the control panel 200, the panel fastening portions 260 provided on the upper surface portion 220 and the lower surface portion 230 are coupled to the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122, as will be described later.

[0194] 14, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second front panel 122 includes an upper bent portion 123 extending rearward from the upper end of the front surface. The upper bent portion 123 is formed by bending the front surface of the second front panel 122.

[0195] The upper part of the control panel 200 is coupled to the lower bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112, and the lower part is coupled to the upper bent portion 123 of the second front panel 122. Specifically, the control panel 200 inserted between the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122 is disposed so that its upper part, i.e., its upper surface portion 220, faces the lower bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112, and its lower part, i.e., its lower surface portion 230, faces the upper bent portion 123 of the second front panel 122.

[0196] The upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 is arranged next to the lower bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112, and the lower surface portion 230 of the control panel 200 is arranged next to the upper bent portion 123 of the second front panel 122. Furthermore, the lower bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112 and the upper bent portion 123 of the second front panel 122 are also arranged next to each other.

[0197] During the process of inserting the control panel 200, the upper surface portion 220 provided on the upper side of the control panel 200 is coupled to the lower end bending portion 113 of the first front panel 112, and the lower surface portion 230 provided on the lower side of the control panel 200 is coupled to the upper end bending portion 123 of the second front panel 122.

[0198] Meanwhile, Fig. 12 shows a panel fastening portion 260 provided on the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200, and Fig. 13 shows a panel fastening portion 260 provided on the lower surface portion 230 of the control panel 200. Referring to Figs. 12 and 13, the upper surface portion 220 and the lower surface portion 230 each include a panel fastening portion 260 that is inserted into and coupled to the opposing lower end bent portion 113 or upper end bent portion 123.

[0199] The panel fastening portion 260 may be provided in a hook type and connected to the lower end bending portion 113 or the upper end bending portion 123, or may be provided in a protrusion type and inserted into the lower end bending portion 113 or the upper end bending portion 123 to be connected.

[0200] 12 and 13 show a panel fastening portion 260 that is inserted into and coupled to the lower bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112 and the upper bent portion 123 of the second front panel 122, as shown in Fig. 14. The number, position, and shape of the panel fastening portion 260 may vary as required.

[0201] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface part 220 and the lower surface part 230 each include an opening 262 that opens in the vertical direction (Z), and a fastening elastic part 265 that extends from the inner surface of the opening 262 and crosses the opening 262. Each panel fastening part 260 of the upper surface part 220 and the lower surface part 230 is provided on the fastening elastic part 265.

[0202] Specifically, an upper surface opening 263 is provided in the upper surface portion 220, and a lower surface opening 264 is provided in the lower surface portion 230. The upper surface opening 263 and the lower surface opening 264 each have a shape that is open in the vertical direction (Z), and are provided so as to penetrate the upper surface portion 220 or the lower surface portion 230.

[0203] The fastening elastic portion 265 includes an upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 provided on the upper surface portion 220 and a lower surface fastening elastic portion 267 provided on the lower surface portion 230. The upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 is provided so as to cross the upper surface opening 263 of the upper surface portion 220, and the lower surface fastening elastic portion 267 is provided so as to cross the lower surface opening 264 of the lower surface portion 230.

[0204] The fastening elastic portion 265 may extend from the inner surface of each opening 262 alongside the upper surface portion 220 or the lower surface portion 230. For example, the fastening elastic portion 265 may extend from one side of the inner surface of the opening 262 and be connected to the other side of the inner surface of the opening 262.

[0205] That is, the fastening elastic portion 265 is provided on the opening 262, and both ends are connected to the upper surface portion 220 or the lower surface portion 230 of the control panel 200 in the longitudinal direction, and the remaining portion is separated from the upper surface portion 220 or the lower surface portion 230.

[0206] The openings 262 extend in the longitudinal direction of the fastening elastic portion 265, and are at least partially shielded in the up-down direction (Z) by the fastening elastic portion 265.

[0207] For example, the fastening elastic part 265 may be formed by cutting both sides of the upper surface part 220 or the lower surface part 230 along the longitudinal direction of the fastening elastic part 265. As a result, the fastening elastic part 265 is fixed at both ends connected to the inner surfaces of the opening 262, and the center side is separated from the upper surface part 220 or the lower surface part 230 and elastically deformed.

[0208] In one embodiment of the present invention, the panel fastening portion 260 is provided on the fastening elastic portion 265, and as each panel fastening portion 260 moves toward the lower end bending portion 113 of the first front panel 112 or the upper end bending portion 123 of the second front panel 122 during the insertion process of the control panel 200, the fastening elastic portion 265 is deformed, and as the panel fastening portion 260 reaches each connection point, the fastening elastic portion 265 is restored to its original state, thereby forming a connection structure.

[0209] Figure 12 shows an upper opening 263 and an upper fastening elastic portion 266 provided on the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200, and Figure 13 shows a lower opening 264 and a lower fastening elastic portion 267 provided on the lower surface portion 230 of the control panel 200.

[0210] FIG. 12 shows a panel support portion 268 provided on the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 shows how the panel support portion 268 supports the lower end bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112 from below.

[0211] Specifically, the panel support portions 268 are distinguished from the panel fastening portions 260, and their upper ends support the lower end bent portions 113 of the first front panel 112 from below upward. The number and shape of the panel support portions 268 vary, and they have upper surfaces that are aligned with the lower end bent portions 113.

[0212] The panel support portion 268 protrudes upward from the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200, like the panel fastening portion 260, but unlike the panel fastening portion 260 which is inserted into the lower end bending portion 113, the panel support portion 268 contacts the underside of the lower end bending portion 113 and supports the lower end bending portion 113. The panel support portion 268 has a protruding shape like the panel fastening portion 260.

[0213] In one embodiment of the present invention, a panel support portion 268 that supports the lower part of the first front panel 112 is provided on the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200, thereby stably supporting the first front panel 112. Furthermore, the panel support portion 268 of the control panel 200 supports the first front panel 112 together with the upper support portion 356 of the lower frame 300, thereby improving structural stability.

[0214] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the panel fastening portion 260 is provided with a protruding height greater than the protruding height of the panel support portion 268. As a result, the lower end bending portion 113 has an overall flat surface, the panel fastening portion 260 is inserted into the lower end bending portion 113 of the first front panel 112, and the panel support portion 268 supports the lower end bending portion 113.

[0215] 9 and 10, in one embodiment of the present invention, the top surface 220 of the control panel 200 has a coupling receiving hole 269 into which the upper coupling 350 of the lower frame 300 is inserted and received.

[0216] Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 is inserted between the lower end bend portion 113 and the upper end extension portion 320, and as described above, the upper end extension portion 320 includes an upper coupling portion 350 that protrudes upward and is inserted into the lower end bend portion 113.

[0217] The upper surface part 220 is opened rearward and includes a coupling part receiving hole 269 into which the upper coupling part 350 is inserted from the rear.

[0218] The connection portion accommodating hole 269 has a shape that extends in the front-to-rear direction (X) taking into account the insertion direction of the control panel 200, and is wider than the upper connection portion 350.The rear end portion is positioned opposite the upper connection portion 350, and the upper connection portion 350 is inserted inside through the rear end that is open to the rear.

[0219] That is, as the control panel 200 moves from the front to the rear of the lower frame 300 and is inserted, the upper coupling portion 350 of the lower frame 300 moves from the rear to the front of the coupling portion accommodating hole 269 and is inserted into the coupling portion accommodating hole 269.

[0220] As a result, even in a structure in which the lower frame 300 is provided with an upper end extension 320 having an upper connecting portion 350 that connects to the first front panel 112 and supports the first front panel 112, and the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 is inserted between the upper end extension 320 and the lower end bending portion 113 of the first front panel 112, the connecting portion accommodating hole 269 allows the upper connecting portion 350, which protrudes from the upper end extension 320 of the lower frame 300 toward the lower end bending portion 113, to be positioned without structural interference, and the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 can also be inserted between the first front panel 112 and the upper end extension 320 of the lower frame 300 without interference from the upper connecting portion 350.

[0221] 13 shows an electrical connection portion 228 protruding downward from the inner surface of the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200, and FIG. 14 shows the electrical connection portion 224 and the electrical connection portion 228 in a simplified manner.

[0222] 13 and 14, in one embodiment of the present invention, the control panel 200 further includes an electrical component part 224 and an electrical component connection part 228, and the upper extension part 320 of the lower frame 300 includes a front receiving groove 324 into which the electrical component connection part 228 is inserted and received.

[0223] The electrical component coupling parts 228 protrude downward from the inner surface of the upper surface part 220 and are coupled to the electrical component part 224 in the control panel 200. A plurality of electrical component coupling parts 228 are provided, and as shown in Fig. 13, they have a protruding shape and are inserted into grooves formed in the electrical component part 224, or as shown in Fig. 14, they are provided to support the rear surface of the electrical component part 224 from behind.

[0224] Meanwhile, the upper extension 320 of the lower frame 300 is located below the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200, so that the electrical connection part 228 can interfere with the movement of the control panel 200, which is in contact with the front end of the upper extension 320, during the insertion process of the control panel 200.

[0225] Accordingly, in one embodiment of the present invention, a front receiving groove 324 is formed at the front end of the upper extension portion 320, into which the electrical coupling portion 228 is inserted and received.

[0226] The front receiving groove 324 is provided to face the electrical component coupling portion 228. That is, the front receiving groove 324 is located behind the electrical component coupling portion 228. The front receiving groove 324 extends in the front-rear direction (X) in consideration of the coupling direction of the control panel 200, and its front end is open to the front.

[0227] When the control panel 200 is inserted between the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122, the electrical coupling portion 228 is inserted into the front receiving groove 324 through the open front end of the front receiving groove 324. Figure 9 shows the front receiving groove 324 provided in the upper extension 320 of the lower frame 300.

[0228] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 14, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200 is configured so that the length extending rearward from the front surface 210 is shorter than that of the lower surface 230, thereby preventing interference with the upper end extension 320 of the lower frame 300.

[0229] As described above, the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 is disposed adjacent to the upper end extension portion 320 of the lower frame 300 in the vertical direction (Z), the upper end extension portion 320 of the lower frame 300 has an upper connection portion 350 that is connected to the first front panel 112, and the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 has an electrical connection portion 228.

[0230] Thus, the upper end extension 320 of the lower frame 300 and the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200 include structures for connection and support relative to each other or relative to the first front panel 112, which may result in structural interference between them.

[0231] Taking the above structural features into consideration, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200 is formed shorter than the lower surface 230, thereby preventing structural interference between the upper end extensions 320 of the lower frame 300 and effectively improving the structural flexibility between them.

[0232] Meanwhile, as described above, the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 is provided with the upper surface opening 263 and the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 , and the lower surface portion 230 of the control panel 200 is provided with the lower surface opening 264 and the lower surface fastening elastic portion 267 .

[0233] Also, referring to Figures 12 and 13, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper fastening elastic portion 266 is arranged to cross the upper opening 263 along the lateral direction (Y) of the control panel 200, and the lower fastening elastic portion 267 is arranged to cross the lower opening 264 along the front-to-back direction (X) of the control panel 200.

[0234] That is, the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 extends along the side direction (Y) of the control panel 200, and the lower surface fastening elastic portion 267 extends along the front-to-rear direction (X) of the control panel 200. The upper surface opening 263 also extends in the side direction (Y) like the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266, and the lower surface opening 264 extends in the front-to-rear direction (X) like the lower surface fastening elastic portion 267.

[0235] As described above, the upper end extension 320 of the lower frame 300 overlaps at least a portion of the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200 and has a coupling relationship with the first front panel 112, etc., so that the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200 is configured to extend a shorter length from the front surface 210 than the lower surface 230 in order to minimize structural interference with the upper end extension 320.

[0236] As a result, the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 provided on the upper surface portion 220 is unable to extend in the front-to-rear direction (X) due to the short length of the upper surface portion 220, and therefore the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 extends in the side direction (Y) of the control panel 200. The upper surface opening 263 also extends in the side direction (Y) like the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266.

[0237] Furthermore, due to the characteristics of the lower surface portion 230 having a longer extension length relative to the upper surface portion 220, the lower surface fastening elastic portion 267 provided on the lower surface portion 230 extends in the front-to-rear direction (X) unlike the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266, and the lower surface opening 264 also extends in the front-to-rear direction (X) like the lower surface fastening elastic portion 267. The panel fastening portion 260 protrudes upward from the upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 and protrudes downward from the lower surface fastening elastic portion.

[0238] Meanwhile, referring again to FIG. 12, the clothing treatment device 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is provided with a drainage channel 270 extending in the lateral direction (Y) on the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200.

[0239] The drainage channels 270 extend in the lateral direction (Y) on the upper surface portion 220, and water that falls on the upper surface portion 220 flows in the lateral direction (Y) along the drainage channels 270 and is drained.

[0240] Specifically, as described above, the first treatment device 10 and the second treatment device 20 may have water inside, such as a washing machine or a condenser dryer, and water may leak during other operating conditions of the first treatment device 10.

[0241] Water falls along the first treatment device 10 or is provided on the control panel 200 in other ways. As described above, the control panel 200 has a display unit and an operation unit on the front, and an electrical unit 224 inside. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent water present on the control panel 200 from flowing into the control panel 200 or flowing along the front surface 210.

[0242] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a drainage channel 270 is formed on the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200, thereby minimizing water provided to the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200 through the drainage channel 270 from flowing into the front surface 210 or inside of the control panel 200.

[0243] In addition, since the control panel 200 is located below the first front panel 112, in consideration of the situation where water flowing downward along the first front panel 112 falls onto the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200, in one embodiment of the present invention, a drainage channel 270 is formed on the upper surface 220 of the control panel 200.

[0244] The drainage channels 270 may be formed in various shapes and in various ways as required. Figure 12 shows a state in which the drainage channels 270 that are open upward are formed in the upper surface 220 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0245] The drainage channel 270 extends along the side direction (Y) of the control panel 200. This allows water that falls onto the upper surface portion 220 to flow in the side direction (Y) on the upper surface portion 220, preventing the water from flowing beyond the rear end of the upper surface portion 220 into the control panel 200 or flowing along the front surface 210 of the control panel 200.

[0246] Meanwhile, referring to Figure 12 together with Figure 9, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper end 211 of the front portion 210 is located higher than the upper surface portion 220, and the upper surface portion 220 has a flow path rib 272 at its rear end that protrudes upward and extends in the lateral direction (Y), and the drainage flow path 270 is formed by the upper end 211 of the front portion 210 and the flow path rib 272.

[0247] Specifically, the top surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 extends rearward from the upper end of the front surface portion 210, and the top end 211 of the front surface portion 210 is located higher than the top surface portion 220. That is, the top surface portion 220 extends rearward from the front surface portion 210 at a position lower than the top end 211 of the front surface portion 210. In other words, the front surface portion 210 can extend upward such that the top end 211 is located higher than the top surface portion 220.

[0248] Additionally, a flow path rib 272 that protrudes upward and extends along the side direction (Y) is provided at the rear end of the upper surface portion 220. The upper surface portion 220 extends in the side direction (Y) of the control panel 200 like the front surface portion 210, and the flow path rib 272 also extends in the side direction (Y) along the upper surface portion 220.

[0249] As described above, the upper surface portion 220 is provided with the coupling portion accommodating hole 269, which is open rearward, at its rear end, and the specific extension shape of the flow path rib 272 corresponds to the shape of the rear end of the upper surface portion 220. That is, the flow path rib 272 extends along the rear end of the upper surface portion 220.

[0250] The upper end 211 of the front surface portion 210 and the channel rib 272 form a drainage channel 270 on the upper surface portion 220 .

[0251] That is, the upper end of the front surface portion 210 becomes one side wall of the drainage flow path 270, the flow path rib 272 becomes the other side wall of the drainage flow path 270, and the upper surface of the upper surface portion 220 becomes the bottom surface of the drainage flow path 270, thereby forming the drainage flow path 270.

[0252] In one embodiment of the present invention, a drainage channel 270 is formed across the entire upper surface of the upper surface portion 220, so that water falling or flowing onto the upper surface portion 220 is generally located within the drainage channel 270 and flows in the lateral direction (Y) along the drainage channel 270 to be drained.

[0253] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper end 241 of the side portion 240 of the control panel 200 is located higher than the upper surface portion 220, and the flow path rib 272 has both ends in the lateral direction (Y) spaced apart from the opposing side portion 240, thereby forming a drainage portion 276 between the upper end 241 of the side portion 240 and the flow path rib 272.

[0254] Specifically, like the front surface portion 210, the side surface portions 240 extending rearward on both sides in the lateral direction (Y) of the front surface portion 210 have upper ends 241 positioned higher than the top surface portion 220. The top end 211 of the front surface portion 210 and the top end 241 of the side surface portions 240 extend integrally, and therefore the front side and both sides of the top surface portion 220 are surrounded by the top end 211 of the front surface portion 210 and the top end 241 of the side surface portions 240.

[0255] Both sides of the flow path rib 272 in the lateral direction (Y) are spaced apart from the upper end of the opposing side portion 240. That is, the drainage flow path 270 is opened between both ends of the flow path rib 272 and the upper end of the side portion 240 to form drainage portions 276, and water present in the upper portion 220 is discharged from the upper portion 220 through the drainage portions 276.

[0256] Meanwhile, the electrical component 224 installed in the control panel 200 is spaced a certain distance from the inner surface of the side surface 240 on both sides in the lateral direction (Y) to prevent contact with water discharged through the drainage part 276.

[0257] In this way, the drainage flow path 270 defined by the upper end of the front portion 210 and the upper end of the side portion 240 prevents water falling on the upper portion 220 from leaking out along the front portion 210 or the side portion 240, and is discharged from both sides of the side direction (Y) of the control panel 200 to the rear side through the drainage portion 276 formed between the flow path rib 272 and the side portion 240.

[0258] 12, the panel support portion 268 and the panel fastening portion 260 provided on the upper surface portion 220 of the control panel 200 are located within the drainage channel 270. As described above, the panel support portion 268 is provided on the drainage channel 270 to support the lower end bent portion 113 of the first front panel 112, and the panel fastening portion 260 passes through the lower end bent portion 113 above the drainage channel 270.

[0259] A plurality of panel support parts 268 and a plurality of panel fastening parts 260 are provided, and are aligned and alternately arranged in the lateral direction (Y) along the drainage channel 270. As a result, the supporting force of the first front panel 112 by the panel support parts 268 and the fixing force of the first front panel 112 by the panel fastening parts 260 are appropriately mixed and distributed.

[0260] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface portion 220 further includes an inflow prevention rib 274. The inflow prevention rib 274 extends to surround the opening 262 formed in the upper surface portion 220 and protrudes upward to prevent water from entering the opening 262. The opening 262 is an upper surface opening 263 in which an upper surface fastening elastic portion 266 is provided.

[0261] The panel fastening portion 260 is provided in the drainage channel 270 and is provided on the fastening elastic portion 265 provided together with the opening 262. That is, the opening 262 in which the fastening elastic portion 265 is formed is provided in the drainage channel 270, and water from the upper surface portion 220 falls into the control panel 200 through the opening 262.

[0262] Thus, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface portion 220 is formed with an inflow prevention rib 274 surrounding the opening 262, thereby preventing water leakage through the opening 262.

[0263] The inflow prevention rib 274 extends in a ring-like shape so as to surround the periphery of the opening 262. The ring shape varies depending on the shape of the opening 262, and may have, for example, a polygonal or circular cross section.

[0264] As a result, water in the drainage channel 270 defined by the upper end of the front portion 210 and the channel rib 272 is prevented from flowing into the opening 262 by the inflow prevention rib 274, and flows sideways (Y) along the drainage channel 270 to be drained.

[0265] Meanwhile, as described above, in one embodiment of the present invention, a coupling portion accommodating hole 269 is formed in the upper surface portion 220, and the flow path rib 272 extending along the rear end of the upper surface portion 220 extends in correspondence with the coupling portion accommodating hole 269, thereby preventing water leakage into the coupling portion accommodating hole 269.

[0266] The portion of the flow path rib 272 that extends along the coupling portion accommodating hole 269 extends to correspond to the shape of the coupling portion accommodating hole 269, and Figure 12 shows a flow path rib 272 that is bent or folded to extend to correspond to the coupling portion accommodating hole 269 having an approximately rectangular cross section in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0267] 16 shows the garment processing device 1 without the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122, and shows the lower frame 300 of the first processing device 10 and the upper frame 400 of the second processing device 20. FIG. 17 shows an exploded perspective view of the lower frame 300 and the upper frame 400.

[0268] 16 and 17, a clothing treatment device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper frame 400. The upper frame 400 is disposed on the rear side of the second front panel 122 and is coupled to the first side panel 115 via a front insulating member 450 made of an insulating material, thereby being insulated from the first side panel 115.

[0269] Hereinafter, the insulating part that electrically insulates and connects the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 in the clothing processing device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0270] As described above, one embodiment of the present invention includes a first processing device 10 and a second processing device 20. The first processing device 10 includes a first cabinet 110 that forms the exterior and a first drum 12 that is provided within the first cabinet 110 and that contains garments.

[0271] The second processing device 20 includes a second cabinet 120 that forms the exterior and a second drum 22 that is provided within the second cabinet 120 and stores the clothes, and is positioned below the first processing device 10 to support the first processing device 10.

[0272] The first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 are connected to each other while being electrically insulated via an insulating part containing an insulating material. For example, the insulating part connects the first front panel 112, the first side panel 115, and the first rear panel 118 of the first cabinet 110 to the second front panel 122, the second side panel 125, and the second rear panel 128 of the second cabinet 120, respectively, while being electrically insulated from each other.

[0273] The insulating portion contains an insulating material and is an insulator against the outside. The insulating portion may be formed entirely of an insulating material, or the outer surface may be coated with or contain an insulating material.

[0274] The insulating part connects the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 so that the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 are electrically insulated from each other.

[0275] The insulating section includes multiple components. For example, the insulating section includes the control panel 200 described above, as well as the front insulating member 450, rear insulating member 480, and lower insulating member described below. The lower insulating member includes a first lower insulating member 510 and a second lower insulating member 530.

[0276] The first processing device 10 is provided with an insulating section at a portion that contacts or is coupled to the second processing device 20, so that the first processing device 10 is electrically insulated from the second processing device 20. For example, the control panel 200 is provided between a first front panel 112 provided on the front side of the first cabinet 110 and a second front panel 122 provided on the front side of the second cabinet 120, and connects the first front panel 112 to the second front panel 122 in an electrically insulated manner.

[0277] The front insulating member 450 is coupled to the upper frame 400 protruding upward from the rear side of the second front panel 122, and connects the upper frame 400 to the first cabinet 110 in an electrically insulated manner.

[0278] The rear insulating member 480 is coupled to both the first rear panel 118 provided on the rear side of the first cabinet 110 and the second rear panel 128 provided on the rear side of the second cabinet 120, and electrically insulates and connects the first rear panel 118 to the second rear panel 128.

[0279] The lower insulating member is provided between the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 120 and supports the lower surface of the first cabinet 110 while electrically insulating it from the upper surface of the second cabinet 120 .

[0280] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 each include an electrically driven component such as a driving unit, and these components are operated by electric / electronic signals.

[0281] Therefore, if a leak occurs between the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20, it will be detrimental to the operation of each of the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20. Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 are electrically isolated from each other through an insulating part, and a stable connection between them is realized.

[0282] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the upper frame 400 is disposed behind the second front panel 122 and protrudes upward from the second front panel 122 to be coupled to the first processing device 10 .

[0283] The insulating section includes a front insulating member 450, which is coupled to the upper frame 400 to electrically insulate and connect the upper frame 400 to the first processing device 10.

[0284] Specifically, the upper frame 400 is located above the front surface of the second processing device 20 and is coupled to the first processing device 10 to fasten the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 together.

[0285] The upper frame 400 is disposed on the rear side of the second front panel 122, and is disposed in front of the second top panel 129 and second side panel 125 of the second processing device 20, as shown in Figure 17. In other words, the upper frame 400 is disposed between the second front panel 122 and the second side panel 125.

[0286] 16 shows that a detergent opening is provided through which a detergent storage unit for supplying detergent is inserted into the second treatment device 20. That is, in FIG. 16, the second treatment device 20 corresponds to a washing machine that treats clothes using detergent, and the upper frame 400 is formed with a detergent opening through which the detergent opening is inserted.

[0287] The upper frame 400 is connected to the second side panel 125 on both sides in the lateral direction (Y) and can also be connected to the second front panel 122 at the front. The upper frame 400 improves the structural stability and strength of the upper side of the second processing device 20.

[0288] The upper frame 400 is fixed to the second processing device 20, and its upper portion extending upward is connected to the underside of the first processing device 10. The upper frame 400 has a surface aligned with the second front panel 122 and is disposed on the front side of the second processing device 20.

[0289] Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 are independent devices, and each device is provided with an electrical component, such as a motor or a control unit, therein.

[0290] If a situation occurs in which electricity leaks from either the first processing device 10 or the second processing device 20, it is necessary to prevent the leaked electricity from affecting the other device.

[0291] That is, the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 must be electrically insulated from each other to prevent electrical leakage between them.

[0292] Therefore, in one embodiment of the present invention, a front insulating member 450 is used in the fastening between the upper frame 400 of the second processing device 20 and the first processing device 10, and the upper frame 400 is connected to the first processing device 10 via the front insulating member 450.

[0293] The front insulating member 450 is made of an insulating material, which may be made of various materials such as plastic, rubber, or a mixture of plastic and rubber, depending on the need.

[0294] The upper frame 400 is connected to the first front panel 112 or the first side panel 115 of the first processing device 10 or other components of the first processing device 10, and is fastened to the first processing device 10 via a front insulating member 450. The lower end of the upper frame 400 is connected to the second side panel 125, and the upper end is connected to the first side panel 115 via the front insulating member 450.

[0295] That is, the front insulating member 450 fastens the components of the upper frame 400 and the first processing apparatus 10 together, while insulating the upper frame 400 from the first processing apparatus 10. Figures 16 and 17 show a structure in which the upper frame 400 is coupled to the first side panel 115 of the first processing apparatus 10 via the front insulating member 450 and is insulated from the first side panel 115 according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0296] The front insulating member 450 may be formed in various shapes and may be fastened to the first processing device 10 and the upper frame 400 in various fastening manners. For example, the front insulating member 450 may be provided in the form of a hook, a connecting member may be inserted, or the front insulating member 450 may be in contact with one surface of the upper frame 400, and various fastening methods may be used.

[0297] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 17, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lower portions of the upper frame 400 on both sides in the lateral direction (Y) are connected to the second side panel 125, and the upper portions of both sides are connected to the first side panel 115 via the front insulating member 450.

[0298] The upper frame 400 is formed with a surface aligned with the front surface of the second front panel 122, extends in the lateral direction (Y), and at least a portion of both sides in the lateral direction (Y) is positioned in front of the second side panel 125.

[0299] The lower portions of both sides of the upper frame 400 are connected to the second side panel 125 and the upper portions are connected to the first side panel 115. That is, the upper frame 400 is connected to both the first front panel 112 of the first processing device 10 and the second front panel 122 of the second processing device 20 on both sides in the lateral direction (Y).

[0300] There are various ways to connect the upper frame 400. For example, the upper frame 400 may be formed with hooks to connect to the first front panel 112 and / or the second front panel 122, or may be connected with connecting members such as screws, as shown in FIG.

[0301] Meanwhile, Fig. 17 shows a front insulating member 450 that connects the upper frame 400 and the first side panel 115, and Fig. 18 shows a perspective view of the front insulating member 450. Fig. 19 shows a cross-sectional view illustrating the connection structure of the first side panel 115, the front insulating member 450, and the upper frame 400.

[0302] 17 to 19, in one embodiment of the present invention, the front insulation member 450 includes a first fastening portion 460 and a second fastening portion 470. The first fastening portion 460 is connected to the first side panel 115, and the second fastening portion 470 is connected to the upper frame 400, and the second fastening portion 470 can insulate between the upper frame 400 and the first side panel 115.

[0303] Specifically, the front insulating member 450 has a first fastening portion 460 and a second fastening portion 470 connected to each other, and the front insulating member 450 is fixed to the first side panel 115 by the first fastening portion 460 being coupled to the first side panel 115.

[0304] In addition, the upper frame 400 is coupled to the second fastening portions 470 at the upper portions on both sides, thereby fixing the upper frame 400 to the front insulating member 450. That is, the upper frame 400 is fixed to the front insulating member 450, and the front insulating member 450 is fixed to the first side panel 115, thereby forming a fixing structure or a connecting structure between the upper frame 400 and the first side panel 115.

[0305] The coupling method between the first fastening portion 460 and the first side panel 115 and the coupling method between the second fastening portion 470 and the upper frame 400 may vary as needed. For example, a fitting or hook-type coupling may be used, and as shown in Figures 18 and 19, the mutual coupling relationship may be formed by a fastening member passing through the front insulating member 450.

[0306] The upper frame 400 is connected to the first side panel 115 via a front insulating member 450 made of an insulating material, and the front insulating member 450 insulates the upper frame 400 from the first side panel 115 .

[0307] For example, as shown in FIG. 19, the second fastening portion 470 of the upper frame 400 is located between the upper frame 400 and the first side panel 115 to prevent the two from coming into direct contact with each other and to insulate the two from each other.

[0308] Meanwhile, the first fastening portion 460 extends upward from the second fastening portion 470 connected to the upper frame 400, and the upper frame 400 connected to the second fastening portion 470 is fastened to the first side panel 115 via the first fastening portion 460.

[0309] The upper frame 400 has its side portion extending upward in the second processing device 20 connected to the second fastening portion 470, and the first fastening portion 460 is connected to the first side panel 115 while connected to the second fastening portion 470, so that the first fastening portion 460 is located above the second fastening portion 470.

[0310] That is, the first fastening portion 460 located at the top of the front insulating member 450 is connected to the first side panel 115, and the second fastening portion 470 located at the bottom of the front insulating member 450 faces the side of the upper frame 400 and is connected to the upper frame 400.

[0311] In other words, the first fastening portion 460 extends upward from the second fastening portion 470, and the second fastening portion 470 extends downward from the first fastening portion 460.

[0312] Meanwhile, the clothing treatment device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention further includes a first fastening member 462 and a second fastening member 472. The first fastening member 462 penetrates both the first fastening portion 460 and the first side panel 115 to fasten the first fastening portion 460 to the first side panel 115, and the second fastening member 472 penetrates the upper frame 400 and is inserted into the second fastening portion 470 to fasten the upper frame 400 to the second fastening portion 470. The second fastening portion 470 provides insulation between the second fastening member 472 and the first side panel 115.

[0313] Specifically, the front insulating member 450 is connected to the first side panel 115 and the upper frame 400 via a first fastening member 462 and a second fastening member 472. The first fastening member 462 is provided in the form of a screw or a rivet, and penetrates both the first fastening portion 460 and the first side panel 115.

[0314] Since the first fastening member 462 does not directly contact the upper frame 400 , the first fastening portion 460 does not need to provide insulation between the first fastening member 462 and the first side panel 115 .

[0315] Meanwhile, the upper frame 400 is penetrated by the second fastening members 472, and the second fastening members 472 penetrating the upper frame 400 are coupled to the second fastening portions 470 of the front insulating member 450. At this time, the second fastening portions 470 are provided to insulate the second fastening members 472 from the first side panel 115.

[0316] The second fastening member 472, which penetrates the upper frame 400 and contacts and is electrically connected to the upper frame 400, needs to be electrically insulated from the first side panel 115. Therefore, the front insulating member 450 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured such that the second fastening portion 470 insulates between the second fastening member 472 and the first side panel 115.

[0317] There are various ways in which the second fastening portion 470 insulates the second fastening member 472 from the first side panel 115. For example, the second fastening portion 470 is disposed on the front side of the first side panel 115, and the second fastening member 472 penetrates the upper frame 400 and is inserted and coupled only to the second fastening portion 470, excluding the first side panel 115, thereby being insulated from the first side panel 115.

[0318] Alternatively, as shown in FIGS. 18 and 19, a second fastening portion 470 may be provided to surround the second fastening member 472 to insulate the first side panel 115 from the second fastening member 472 .

[0319] 17 to 19, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second fastening portion 470 includes a fastening insulator 474. The fastening insulator 474 extends through the first side panel 115, and at least a portion of the second fastening member 472 is inserted into the fastening insulator 474 to provide insulation between the second fastening member 472 and the first side panel 115.

[0320] The fastening insulator 474 is hollow and extends in the insertion direction of the second fastening member 472 to penetrate the first side panel 115. That is, the second fastening member 472 penetrates both the upper frame 400 and the first side panel 115, and the portion of the second fastening member 472 that penetrates the first side panel 115 may be surrounded by the fastening insulator 474.

[0321] The second fastening member 472 penetrates the upper frame 400, penetrates the second fastening portion 470, and is inserted into and coupled with the fastening insulator 474. The second fastening member 472 penetrates the upper frame 400 or the first side panel 115 in the longitudinal direction, like a screw or rivet.

[0322] The second fastening member 472 is connected to the second fastening part 470 through the fastening insulator 474, having a length that penetrates the first side panel 115 together with the upper frame 400, thereby improving the connection strength. As a result, the second fastening member 472 is inserted into and connected to the inside of the fastening insulator 474 of the second fastening part 470, thereby providing insulation between the first side panel 115 and the second fastening member 472. As a result, the upper frame 400, which is electrically connected to the second fastening member 472, is insulated from the first side panel 115.

[0323] The fastening insulator 474 may be configured such that its extended end is sealed and the second fastening member 472 is housed inside, or such that its extended end is open and the end of the second fastening member 472 is exposed to the outside of the fastening insulator 474.

[0324] The fastening insulator 474 is provided to surround at least a portion of the second fastening member 472 that is adjacent to the first side panel 115, and accommodates at least a portion of the second fastening member 472, thereby providing insulation between the first side panel 115 and the second fastening member 472. The first fastening member 462 and the second fastening member 472 are spaced apart from each other so as to be electrically isolated from each other.

[0325] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first side panel 115 includes a front bend 116 at its front end, and the fastening insulator 474 passes through the front bend 116 .

[0326] Specifically, the front end of the first side panel 115 is positioned adjacent to the first front panel 112, and the front end bent portion 116 of the first side panel 115 extends from the front end of the first side panel 115 in the lateral direction (Y).

[0327] That is, the front end bend 116 of the first side panel 115 is arranged next to the front of the first front panel 112. The first side panel 115 arranged on one side in the side direction (Y) of the first processing device 10 includes a front end bend 116 extending toward the other side in the side direction (Y), and the first side panel 115 arranged on the other side in the side direction (Y) of the first processing device 10 includes a front end bend 116 extending toward one side in the side direction (Y).

[0328] That is, the front bent portion 116 of the first side panel 115 extends from the front end of the side of the first side panel 115 that forms the side of the first processing device 10 toward the inside of the first processing device 10. The front bent portion 116 is formed by being bent or curved at the side of the first side panel 115.

[0329] The front end bending portion 116 has a surface aligned with the first front panel 112, and the first fastening member 462 and the second fastening portion 470 have a length extending in the front-to-rear direction (X) and penetrate the front end bending portion 116 along the front-to-rear direction (X).

[0330] The front insulating member 450 and the upper frame 400 are located in front of the front bent portion 116 of the first side panel 115 , and the fastening insulating portion 474 extends rearward from the second fastening portion 470 and passes through the front bent portion 116 .

[0331] That is, as shown in FIG. 19, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second fastening member 472 passes through the upper frame 400, the second fastening portion 470, and the front end bending portion 116 of the second side panel 125 in that order, and is at least partially inserted into the fastening insulation portion 474 of the second fastening portion 470, and is connected to the second fastening portion 470.

[0332] The second fastening portion 470 has a fastening insulating portion 474 that penetrates the second side panel 125, thereby strengthening the bonding force between the front insulating member 450 and the first side panel 115 and also strengthening the bonding force between the second fastening member 472 and the second fastening portion 470, thereby improving structural stability.

[0333] 17, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second front panel 122 further includes an upper fastening portion 124. The upper fastening portion 124 is penetrated by a second fastening member 472 together with the upper frame 400 and fastened to the second fastening portion 470.

[0334] That is, the upper fastening portion 124 is located in front of the upper frame 400 and is fastened to the first side panel 115 together with the upper frame 400 via the front insulating member 450. Figure 19 shows a combined structure in which the upper fastening portion 124 is omitted.

[0335] 17, the second front panel 122 has an upper fastening portion 124 on its upper side, and the upper fastening portion 124 is provided on the upper bent portion 123 of the second front panel 122. That is, the upper fastening portion 124 extends upward from the rear end of the upper bent portion 123, which extends rearward from the upper end of the second front panel 122.

[0336] The upper fastening portion 124 overlaps the upper frame 400 and the front insulating member 450 in the front-rear direction (X), and the second fastening member 472 passes through the upper fastening portion 124 of the second front panel 122, the upper frame 400, the front insulating member 450, and the first side panel 115 in that order, and is coupled to the second fastening portion 470 of the front insulating member 450. The upper fastening portion 124 may be electrically connected to the second fastening member 472 and the upper frame 400.

[0337] Since the second front panel 122 is connected to the first side panel 115 by the upper end fastening portion 124, the fixing strength of the second front panel 122 is improved and the fastening structure between the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 is also reinforced, which is advantageous.

[0338] Meanwhile, in the clothing treatment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the control panel 200 is included in the insulating unit. That is, the control panel 200 corresponds to one component of the insulating unit. The control panel 200 is inserted between the first front panel 112 and the second front panel 122 to electrically insulate and connect the first front panel 112 to the second front panel 122.

[0339] Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 17, in one embodiment of the present invention, the lower frame 300 of the first processing device 10 is coupled to the first side panel 115 together with the upper frame 400, but the lower frame 300 and the upper frame 400 are electrically isolated from each other by separating their respective coupling portions so that they do not come into contact with each other.

[0340] For example, the connection portion between the upper frame 400 and the first side panel 115, i.e., the position of the front insulating member 450, is located lower than the connection portion between the lower frame 300 and the first side panel 115 and is spaced apart from the lower frame 300.

[0341] Therefore, the lower frame 300 and the first side panel 115 are joined together, and at the same time, the upper frame 400 and the first side panel 115 are joined together. The upper frame 400 is joined to the first side panel 115 via the front insulating member 450, but is separated from the lower frame 300 and electrically isolated from each other. This effectively improves the structural stability of the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20, as well as the fastening force between them, and also effectively achieves electrical insulation between them.

[0342] Meanwhile, Figure 20 shows a rear view of a clothing treatment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 21 shows a rear insulating member 480 connecting the first treatment device 10 and the second treatment device 20 from the rear.

[0343] 20 and 21, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first processing device 10 has a first rear panel 118 on its rear side, and the second processing device 20 has a second rear panel 128 on its rear side. They also include a rear insulating member 480 made of an insulating material that fastens the first rear panel 118 and the second rear panel 128 together.

[0344] In one embodiment of the present invention, the insulating portion includes a rear insulating member 480. The rear insulating member 480 is coupled to the first rear panel 118 and the second rear panel 128 to electrically insulate and connect the first rear panel 118 to the second rear panel 128.

[0345] As described above, the first processing apparatus 10 and the second processing apparatus 20 are coupled to each other at the front side while being electrically insulated from each other by the front insulating member 450 and the upper frame 400. Furthermore, the first processing apparatus 10 and the second processing apparatus 20 are coupled to each other at the rear side while being electrically insulated from each other via the rear insulating member 480.

[0346] The first and second processing devices 10 and 20 are manufactured separately and then stacked together for use. Therefore, in order to ensure the structural stability of the garment processing device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, a structural fastening is required between the stacked first and second processing devices 10 and 20.

[0347] As described above, since each of the power supply units includes an independent electrical consumer, such as a motor or a control unit, it is advantageous that the power supply units are electrically insulated from each other.

[0348] As a result, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 can be fastened at the front side of the stacked first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 via the upper frame 400 and the front insulating member 450, and the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 can be fastened at the rear side via the rear insulating member 480.

[0349] The rear insulating member 480 is made of an insulating material, such as a plastic material, a rubber material, or a composite material of plastic and rubber, which has electrical insulating properties.

[0350] The rear insulating member 480 has a length aligned in the lateral direction (Y) and may have a length corresponding to the width of the first processing device 10 or the second processing device in the lateral direction (Y). The rear insulating member 480 is coupled together with the first rear panel 118 of the first processing device 10 and the second rear panel 128 of the second processing device 20 to fasten them together.

[0351] There are various connection methods between the rear insulating member 480 and the first and second rear panels 118, 128. For example, the rear insulating member 480 may be connected to the first and second rear panels 118, 128 by screws or rivets, or a hook-type connection or a fitting-type connection may be used.

[0352] Meanwhile, FIG. 22 shows a cross section of a rear insulating member 480 coupled to the first rear panel 118 and the second rear panel 128 as viewed from the side.

[0353] Referring to FIG. 22, the rear insulating member 480 is connected at its upper portion to the first rear panel 118 and at its lower portion to the second rear panel 128, thereby fastening the first rear panel 118 and the second rear panel 128 together.

[0354] At this time, an upper end 482 of a front surface 481 of the rear insulating member 480 facing forward contacts the first rear panel 118, and a lower end 483 of the front surface 481 contacts the second rear panel 128. That is, the upper end 482 of the front surface 481 of the rear insulating member 480 supports the first rear panel 118 at the rear, and the lower end 483 of the front surface 481 supports the second rear panel 128 at the rear.

[0355] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 22, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first rear panel 118 is positioned forward of the second rear panel 128, and the front surface 481 of the rear insulating member 480 is provided with a step so that the upper end 482 supporting the first rear panel 118 is positioned forward of the lower end 483 supporting the second rear panel 128.

[0356] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first rear panel 118 and the second rear panel 128 are spaced apart from each other along the front-to-rear direction (X). For example, the first rear panel 118 is located forward or rearward of the second rear panel 128. The positional relationship of the first rear panel 118 with respect to the second rear panel 128 is determined by design differences between the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20.

[0357] For example, if the length of the first processing device 10 in the front-to-back direction (X) is longer than the length of the second processing device 20, the first rear panel 118 is located rearward of the second rear panel 128, and if the length of the first processing device 10 in the front-to-back direction (X) is shorter than the length of the second processing device 20, the first rear panel 118 is located forward of the second rear panel 128.

[0358] Alternatively, for assembly advantages in stacking the first processing device 10 on the second processing device 20, the first rear panel 118 can be positioned forward of the second rear panel 128. For example, in the process of assembling the garment processing device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention, after the second processing device 20 is placed in the installation area, when the first processing device 10 is lifted above the second processing device 20, the first processing device 10 slides from the front to the rear of the second processing device 20 and is positioned above the second processing device 20.

[0359] During this process, the rear insulating member 480 can be pre-installed on the second rear panel 128 of the second processing device 20, and the first processing device 10 is placed in the appropriate assembly position with its rearward sliding distance limited by the rear insulating member 480.

[0360] In order for the rear insulating member 480 to function as a stopper, in one embodiment of the present invention, the length of the first processing device 10 in the front-to-rear direction (X) is made shorter than that of the second processing device 20, or at least the lower part of the first rear panel 118 is positioned forward of the second rear panel 128.

[0361] As shown in FIG. 22, the front surface 481 of the rear insulating member 480 has a step so that the upper end 482 of the front surface 481, which supports the lower part of the first rear panel 118 forward, is positioned further forward than the lower end 483, which supports the upper part of the second rear panel 128 forward.

[0362] When the lower portion of the first rear panel 118 is located further rearward than the second rear panel 128, the front surface 481 of the rear insulating member 480 can have a step so that the upper end 482 is located further rearward than the lower end 483.

[0363] As such, since the front surface 481 of the rear insulating member 480 has a step, the rear insulating member 480 can be coupled to and fastened to the first rear panel 118 and the second rear panel 128 while allowing for positional differences between the first rear panel 118 and the second rear panel 128, thereby stably realizing a support structure that supports the first rear panel 118 of the first processing device 10 located above the second processing device 20 from the rear.

[0364] 21 and 22, the clothing treatment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention has a handle 485 on the rear insulating member 480. Specifically, the handle 485 is provided at the bottom of the rear insulating member 480 and is open downward.

[0365] The handle 485 has a groove that is open downward and recessed upward, allowing the user to insert their fingers into the groove to easily grip the handle 485.

[0366] The position and shape of the handle portion 485 may vary, and Figures 21 and 22 show a handle portion 485 that forms part of the lower part of the rear insulating member 480, opens downward, and is gripped by the user in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.

[0367] 23 shows a lower insulating member according to an embodiment of the present invention. The lower insulating member is one configuration of an insulating unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. That is, in this embodiment of the present invention, the insulating unit includes a lower insulating member provided below the first cabinet 110 and supported upward by the second cabinet 120, and the second cabinet 120 supports the first cabinet 110 via the lower insulating member.

[0368] The lower insulating member is provided under the first cabinet 110. The lower insulating member forms the bottom surface of the first cabinet 110 or is coupled to the bottom surface. The lower insulating member is located between the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 120 in the vertical direction (Z). The second cabinet 120 supports the first cabinet 110 via the lower insulating member.

[0369] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lower insulating member includes a first lower insulating member 510 and a second lower insulating member 530. Figure 23 shows the first lower insulating member 510 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 28 shows the second lower insulating member 530.

[0370] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125 are spaced apart and insulated from each other by a lower insulating member. That is, the lower insulating member is positioned between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125 to electrically insulate the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125.

[0371] Meanwhile, Figure 23 shows the first lower insulating member 510 among the lower insulating members, Figure 24 shows the second upper panel 129 in contact with the first lower insulating member 510, and Figure 27 shows a cross section of the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125, which are electrically insulated from each other by the first lower insulating member 510.

[0372] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first cabinet 110 has an open bottom, and the first lower insulating member 510 is coupled to the first cabinet 110 to shield the open bottom of the first cabinet 110 .

[0373] That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first lower insulating member 510 corresponds to the first lower panel of the first cabinet 110. In FIG. 23, the first lower panel of the first cabinet 110 is shown as the first lower insulating member 510.

[0374] 23, a base cabinet 15 is included in the first cabinet 110. The base cabinet 15 is located above a first lower insulating member 510, which corresponds to a first bottom panel of the first cabinet 110. The base cabinet 15 may be molded integrally with the first lower insulating member 510, or may be manufactured separately and located above the first lower insulating member 510.

[0375] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first processing device 10 corresponds to a dryer for drying clothes, and the second processing device 20 corresponds to a washing machine for washing clothes.

[0376] When the first processing device 10 has a function of drying clothes like a dryer, the first processing device 10 is provided with an air conditioning system or a heating device to provide hot air for drying the clothes.

[0377] When the first processing device 10 includes an air conditioning system including a compressor, etc., the base cabinet 15 is provided with a compressor mounting portion where the compressor of the heat exchanger is mounted, a fan mounting portion where the fan of the heat exchanger is mounted, a supply duct connection portion to which the supply duct is connected, an intake duct connection portion to which the intake duct is connected, a water collection portion to which the connecting duct is connected and where the heat absorption portion and heat generation portion of the heat exchanger are located and where condensed water generated in the heat absorption portion is temporarily stored, and a drainage pump mounting portion where a drainage pump is mounted to drain the water collected in the water collection portion.

[0378] The compressor mounting portion, motor mounting portion, fan mounting portion, water collecting portion, drainage pump mounting portion, etc. formed on the base cabinet may be arranged in various ways depending on the connection of each component and the configuration of the flow path.

[0379] Meanwhile, although not shown, the water collection part is formed in a box shape with open front and rear ends so that it can be connected to the connecting duct to form a flow path, and the heat absorption part and heat generation part are located inside where the water collection part and the connecting duct are connected.

[0380] The water collecting part has an intake duct connector at its front end, a supply duct connector at its rear end, and a diversion flow path between the water collecting part and the supply duct that diverts the direction of air that has passed through the heat absorbing and heating parts of the water collecting part toward the supply duct.

[0381] Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 23, the first lower insulating member 510 includes an insulating panel 512 provided to cover the lower surface of the first cabinet 110 and insulating legs 515 protruding downward from the insulating panel 512.

[0382] 24 shows the second upper panel 129 of the second cabinet 120 connected to the first lower insulating member 510. The second upper panel 129 supports the first lower insulating member 510 upward and is connected to the second upper panel 129.

[0383] The insulating legs 515 protrude toward the second upper panel 129 and are supported by the second upper panel 129. That is, the first lower insulating member 510 is in contact with and supported by the second upper panel 129 through the insulating legs 515.

[0384] A plurality of insulating legs 515 are provided, and they have various cross-sectional shapes, protruding lengths, etc. Meanwhile, in one embodiment of the present invention, leg placement grooves 524 are formed in the second upper panel 129, in which the insulating legs 515 are placed.

[0385] 24 shows second upper panel 129, in which leg placement grooves 524 are formed, as viewed from above. Leg placement grooves 524 are recessed downward in second upper panel 129. The number and cross-sectional shape of leg placement grooves 524 are formed to correspond to insulating leg portions 515.

[0386] Figure 25 shows a cross section of the foot placement groove 524 in the second top panel 129 as viewed from the side (Y). The second top panel 129 includes a plurality of foot placement grooves 524. At least two or more foot placement grooves 524 are positioned side by side in the vertical direction (Z) as shown in Figure 25.

[0387] The insulating legs 515 and leg support grooves 524 electrically insulate the first processing device 10, contact and support it on the second upper panel 129 of the second processing device 20, and also have the effect of guiding or fixing the position of the first processing device 10 on the second processing device 20.

[0388] Figure 26 shows a state in which insulating legs 515 are placed in each leg placement groove 524 shown in Figure 25. With reference to Figures 25 and 26, at least one pair of insulating legs 515 are arranged side by side in the vertical direction (Z). The leg placement grooves 524 in which the pair of insulating legs 515 are placed are arranged side by side in the vertical direction (Z).

[0389] Of the pair of insulating legs 515, at least the rear end of the front insulating leg 515 is in close contact with or adjacent to the leg placement groove 524, and at least the front end of the rear insulating leg 515 is in close contact with or adjacent to the leg placement groove 524.

[0390] That is, the rearward movement of the front insulating leg 515 is restricted by the inner surface on the rear side of the leg mounting groove 524, and the forward movement of the rear insulating leg 515 is restricted by the inner surface on the front side of the leg mounting groove 524. As a result, the position of the first processing device 10 in the front-to-rear direction (X) is guided or fixed in relation to the insulating leg 515 and the leg mounting groove 524.

[0391] Referring to Figures 24 to 26, the second upper panel 129 of the second processing device 20 has leg mounting grooves 524 formed on both sides in the front lateral direction (Y) and leg mounting grooves 524 formed on both sides in the rear lateral direction (Y).

[0392] The leg support groove 524 located on the front side of the second upper panel 129 has a recessed first guide surface, i.e., a bottom surface, into which the insulating leg portion 515 of the first lower insulating member 510 is inserted and supported, and a first forward inclined surface that slopes downward toward the first guide surface is formed in front of the first guide surface, and a first rear inclined surface that slopes downward toward the first guide surface is formed behind the first guide surface.

[0393] The first front inclined surface and the first rear inclined surface guide the insulating leg portion 515 so that the insulating leg portion 515 slides and is positioned on the first guide surface of the leg placement groove 524 .

[0394] The leg placement groove 524 located on the rear side of the second upper panel 129 is formed with a recessed second guide surface into which the insulating leg portion 515 of the first lower insulating member 510 is inserted and placed. The second guide surface corresponds to the bottom surface of the leg placement groove 524 on the rear side.

[0395] A second forward inclined surface inclined downward is formed in front of the second guide surface, and a second rearward inclined surface inclined downward is formed behind the second guide surface.

[0396] Meanwhile, FIG. 27 shows a cross section of the first lower insulating member 510 supported on the second upper panel 129 of the second cabinet 120.

[0397] 27, the first side panel 115 of the first cabinet 110 further includes a lower surface coupling portion 522. A first lower insulating member 510 is coupled to the lower surface coupling portion 522. When the first lower panel of the first cabinet 110 is formed of the first lower insulating member 510, the first lower insulating member 510 is coupled to the lower surface coupling portion 522 of the first side panel 115.

[0398] However, the first lower panel 119 of the first cabinet 110 does not necessarily belong to the insulating part. For example, if the first lower panel 119 is formed in the shape of a metal plate, the first lower panel 119 is coupled to the lower coupling part 522. That is, the first lower panel 119 including a metal material or the first lower insulating member 510 including an insulating material is coupled to the lower coupling part 522.

[0399] The lower surface coupling portion 522 extends in the front-rear direction (X) or a plurality of lower surface coupling portions 522 are provided and spaced apart in the front-rear direction (X), and at least a portion of both ends of the first lower insulating member 510 is coupled to the lower surface coupling portion 522.

[0400] There are various methods for connecting the lower surface connecting portion 522 and the first lower insulating member 510. The first lower insulating member 510 may have a contact and support relationship with the lower surface connecting portion 522, may be connected by adhesive, or may be connected using a separate member such as a screw.

[0401] 27, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first side panel 115 further includes a lower extension 550. The lower extension 550 is located below the lower surface connecting portion 522 and shields the lower surface connecting portion 522 and at least a portion of the first lower insulating member 510 in the lateral direction (Y).

[0402] The lower extension 550 forms the lower edge of the first side panel 115 and forms part of the side of the first cabinet 110 .

[0403] At least a portion of the lower extension 550 is located below the lower coupling portion 522. The lower coupling portion 522 is located above the lower end of the lower extension 550. The lower coupling portion 522 is located within the first side panel 115 and faces the first lower insulating member 510, and the outer surface of the lower extension 550 is exposed to the outside.

[0404] The lower end of the lower extension 550 is located below the lower surface coupling portion 522, so that the lower surface coupling portion 522 and at least a part of the second lower insulating member 530 are hidden when viewed from the side (Y) direction.

[0405] That is, the lower extension 550 is provided to shield the lower joining portion 522 and the first lower insulating member 510 in the lateral direction (Y). The lower extension 550 can hide at least a portion of the lower joining portion 522 and the first lower insulating member 510 from the outside, thereby improving the user's satisfaction with the design of the garment treatment device 1 and improving the sense of unity between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125.

[0406] Meanwhile, the lower extension 550 is spaced upward from the second side panel 125 and is electrically isolated from the second side panel 125. Figure 27 shows the state in which the lower end of the lower extension 550 is spaced apart from the second side panel 125.

[0407] In one embodiment of the present invention, insulation between the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20 is achieved by a first lower insulating member 510 forming the underside of the first cabinet 110, and a lower extension 550 extending from the first side panel 115 to hide the first lower insulating member 510 shields the first lower insulating member 510, etc., thereby improving design satisfaction, and further, the lower extension 550 is spaced apart from the second side panel 125, thereby providing electrical insulation between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125.

[0408] 28 shows a second lower insulating member 530 provided between the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 120 in a clothing treatment device 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The lower insulating member includes a second lower insulating member 530, which is provided together with the first lower insulating member 510 or is provided selectively.

[0409] For example, the first cabinet 110 is provided with a first lower insulating member 510 as a first lower panel, and a second lower insulating member 530 is coupled to the first lower insulating member 510. Alternatively, instead of the first lower insulating member 510, a first lower panel 119 made of a metal material may be provided on the lower surface of the first cabinet 110, and the second lower insulating member 530 may be provided on the first lower panel 119.

[0410] For ease of explanation, the following description will be based on the situation in which a first lower panel 119 is provided on the underside of the first cabinet 110 and a second lower insulating member 530 is provided on the first lower panel 119, as shown in FIG. 28.

[0411] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first cabinet 110 has a first lower panel 119 on its underside, and the second lower insulating member 530 is coupled to the first lower panel 119 and supported by the second cabinet 120, thereby electrically insulating the first lower panel 119 from the second cabinet 120.

[0412] The second lower insulating member 530 is coupled to the first lower panel 119 and protrudes downward from the first lower panel 119. The second lower insulating member 530 separates the first lower panel 119 and the second cabinet 120 from each other.

[0413] 28, a plurality of second lower insulating members 530 are provided and coupled to the first lower panel 119 of the first cabinet 110. The second lower insulating members 530 are provided integrally with the first lower panel 119.

[0414] The second cabinet 120 has an open top. The second cabinet 120 supports the first cabinet 110 upward via a second side panel 125. The second side panel 125 supports the first side panel 115 via a second lower insulating member 530.

[0415] At least a portion of the second lower insulating member 530 is located above the second side panel 125 of the second cabinet 120. At least a portion of the second lower insulating member 530 is inserted into the open top surface of the second cabinet 120.

[0416] At least a portion of the second lower insulating member 530 supports the second side panel 125 of the second cabinet 120 in the lateral direction (Y). That is, at least a portion of the second lower insulating member 530 is provided in contact with the inner surface of the second side panel 125.

[0417] A reinforcing joint 526 is provided at the upper end of the second side panel 125. The reinforcing joint 526 extends in the front-rear direction (X) and covers the upper end of the second side panel 125. A second lower insulating member 530 is located above the reinforcing joint 526.

[0418] The reinforcing joint 526 is provided to ensure the strength of the second side panel 125 that supports the first cabinet 110, or to guide the placement of the second lower insulating member 530. The reinforcing joint 526 can also guide the position of the first cabinet 110 on the second cabinet 120.

[0419] 29 shows a state in which the second lower insulating member 530 according to an embodiment of the present invention is separated from the first lower panel 119. The second lower insulating member 530 includes an insulating support portion 532, an insulating protrusion portion 534, and an insulating connecting portion 536.

[0420] At least a portion of the insulating support portion 532 is located between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125. The insulating support portion 532 separates the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125 from each other, electrically insulating them.

[0421] The insulating protrusion 534 has a shape that protrudes downward from the insulating support part 532. The insulating protrusion 534 is located on the open top surface of the second cabinet 120. The insulating protrusion 534 is provided so as to be inserted into the open top surface of the second cabinet 120.

[0422] The insulating protrusions 534 contact the second side panel 125 in the lateral direction (Y). The insulating protrusions 534 support the second side panel 125 in the lateral direction (Y). The insulating protrusions 534 are provided on both sides of the first lower panel 119 in the lateral direction (Y), and each insulating protrusion 534 contacts the inner surface of the opposing second side panel 125.

[0423] The insulating protrusions 534 fix the position of the first cabinet 110 on the second cabinet 120 in the lateral direction (Y). For example, the insulating protrusions 534 are provided on both sides of the first bottom panel 119 in the lateral direction (Y) and contact the inner surface of the opposing first side panel 115, thereby preventing the first cabinet 110 from moving in the lateral direction (Y) on the second cabinet 120.

[0424] At least a portion of the insulating coupling part 536 is inserted into and coupled to the first lower panel 119. An opening for inserting the insulating coupling part 536 is formed in the first lower panel 119, and the insulating coupling part 536 is inserted into and coupled to the first lower panel 119 through this opening.

[0425] 30 shows that, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of second lower insulating members 530 are integrally formed via insulating connecting portions 538. That is, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second lower insulating member 530 includes a plurality of insulating protrusions 534 and insulating support portions 532 connected via insulating connecting portions 538.

[0426] As described above, in order to provide a stable support structure for the first cabinet 110, a plurality of second lower insulating members 530 are provided, and when the second lower insulating members 530 are connected to the insulating connection portion 538 as shown in FIG. 30, the plurality of second lower insulating members 530 are recognized as a single structure, which is advantageous in terms of manufacturing and handling.

[0427] The insulating connection part 538 is a part of the second lower insulating member 530 and is provided to include an insulating material. For example, the second lower insulating member 530 is made of an insulating material or is coated with an insulating material.

[0428] FIG. 30 shows a state in which a plurality of second lower insulating members 530 connected to insulating connectors 538 are coupled to one end of the first lower panel 119 in the lateral direction (Y) according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0429] 31 shows a coupling method between the second lower insulating member 530 and the first lower panel 119 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 31(a) shows a process in which the insulating coupling portion 536 of the second lower insulating member 530 is inserted into the opening of the first lower panel 119.

[0430] The insulating coupling portion 536 protrudes upward from the insulating support portion 532 of the second lower insulating member 530, and the insulating coupling portion 536 is inserted into the opening of the first lower panel 119 along the protruding direction.

[0431] 31(b) shows the process of sliding the second lower insulating member 530 inserted into the first lower panel 119. The second lower insulating member 530 has a groove formed between the insulating coupling part 536 and the insulating support part 532, which extends in the sliding direction.

[0432] The groove is open to the opposite side of the first side panel 115 and extends toward the first side panel 115. That is, the second lower insulating member 530 slides in the first lower panel 119 in a direction away from the first side panel 115 and is coupled to the first lower panel 119.

[0433] As a result, even if pressure is generated by the first side panel 115 while the insulating protrusion 534 is in contact with the inner surface of the first side panel 115, the second lower insulating member 530 will not separate from the first lower panel 119, taking into account the sliding direction for connection, and a stable connection structure can be maintained.

[0434] Figure 31(c) shows the second lower insulating member 530 after completion of coupling with the first lower panel 119. As shown in Figure 31(b), the coupling between the second lower insulating member 530 and the first lower panel 119 is completed when the second lower insulating member 530 slides in a direction away from the first side panel 115.

[0435] The second lower insulating member 530 is provided with a hook or the like for fixing to the first lower panel 119 at the end position of the slide.

[0436] Meanwhile, FIG. 32 shows a cross section of a second lower insulating member 530, at least a portion of which is located between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125, as viewed from the front, according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0437] Referring to Figure 32, in one embodiment of the present invention, the second lower insulating member 530 includes the above-mentioned insulating support portion 532, which is located between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125 to insulate the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125 from each other, and the second side panel 125 supports the first side panel 115 via the insulating support portion 532.

[0438] The insulating support portion 532 has a lower surface that contacts the upper end of the second side panel 125 and an upper surface that contacts the upper end of the first side panel 115. The insulating support portion 532 contacts the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125 directly or indirectly.

[0439] For example, the insulating support part 532 may be in direct contact with the second side panel 125, and when the above-described reinforcing joint part 526 is provided at the upper end of the second side panel 125, the lower surface of the insulating support part 532 indirectly contacts the second side panel 125 via the reinforcing joint part 526. The insulating support part 532 is supported by the second side panel 125 via the reinforcing joint part 526.

[0440] In one embodiment of the present invention, even if the first lower panel of the first cabinet 110 is not entirely formed of a first lower insulating member 510 made of an insulating material, an electrically insulated support relationship between the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 120 is realized through a second lower insulating member 530 that is coupled to the first lower panel and includes an insulating support portion 532.

[0441] Meanwhile, the second lower insulating member 530 can be advantageously used in a situation where it is difficult to form the first lower panel of the first cabinet 110 with the first lower insulating member 510 made of an insulating material.

[0442] For example, as described above, if the first processing device 10 is a dryer including a heating device that consumes electrical energy, or if the first processing device 10 includes a heating device that generates high heat, particularly if the heating device is installed in the base cabinet 15 above the first lower panel 119, if the first lower panel 119 is formed of the first lower insulating member 510 including an insulating material, the first lower insulating member 510 may be thermally damaged by the heat of the heating device.

[0443] In this case, the first cabinet 110 may have a first lower panel 119 made of a metallic material, different from the first lower insulating member 510, to enhance heat resistance, or a second lower insulating member 530 may be attached to the first lower panel 119, thereby realizing a stable support structure while providing electrical insulation between the first processing device 10 and the second processing device 20.

[0444] On the other hand, in one embodiment of the present invention, as described above, the first side panel 115 includes a lower extension portion 550, which extends downwardly beyond the first bottom panel 119 to shield at least a portion of the insulating support portion 532 in the lateral direction (Y).

[0445] As a result, even when the second lower insulating member 530 is provided, the distance between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125 can be minimized, and the second lower insulating member 530 and other components can be shielded from the outside, thereby improving user satisfaction with the design and creating a sense of unity between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125, thereby improving the completeness of the design.

[0446] On the other hand, referring to FIG. 32, when the second lower insulating member 530 is provided, as described above, the lower extension portion 550 is spaced apart from the second side panel 125, thereby achieving electrical isolation between the first side panel 115 and the second side panel 125.

[0447] Meanwhile, as described above, the second cabinet 120 has an open top, and the second lower insulating member 530 further includes an insulating protrusion 534. The insulating protrusion 534 protrudes from the first lower panel 119 and supports the second side panel 125 in the lateral direction (Y) via the open top of the second cabinet 120.
