[0045] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the clothing manager (1) may include a main body (10) forming an exterior and a door (20) rotatably coupled to the main body (10).

[0046] The main body (10) may be provided in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped with an open front. The door (20) may be rotatably coupled to the main body (10) to open and close the open front of the main body (10).

[0047] The main body (10) may include a management room (30) provided inside the main body (10) and configured to accommodate and manage clothing. The door (20) can open and close the management room (30) by opening and closing the open front of the main body (10).

[0048] Referring to FIG. 3, the main body (10) may include a machine room (40) that is partitioned from the management room (30) and located below the management room (30).

[0049] For example, a garment manager (1) may include a steam generator (50) that generates steam. The steam generator (50) may be placed inside the machine room (40).

[0050] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a machine room duct (60) arranged to blow air into a management room (30) and placed inside a machine room (40).

[0051] For example, the clothing manager (1) may include a machine room fan (61) connected to a machine room duct (60) and arranged to blow air into the management room (30) through the machine room duct (60).

[0052] For example, the management office (30) may include a machine room inlet (31) and a machine room outlet (32) connected to a machine room duct (60).

[0053] For example, the management office (30) may include a steam inlet (33) connected to a steam generator (50).

[0054] For example, air inside the management room (30) can flow into the machine room duct (60) through the machine room inlet (31) and then flow back into the management room (30) through the machine room outlet (32).

[0055] For example, a compressor or condenser may be placed inside the machine room duct (60) to dehumidify or heat the air flowing into the management room (30).

[0056] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a drain tank (11) and a water tank (12) that are provided to be detachable from the main body (10).

[0057] For example, the drain tank (11) and the water supply tank (12) may be placed at the bottom of the main body (10). For example, the drain tank (11) and the water supply tank (12) may be placed in the machine room.

[0058] For example, a drain (11) can be provided to facilitate the treatment of condensate generated during the operation of the clothing management machine (1).

[0059] For example, the water tank (12) can store water required to generate steam in the steam generator (50).

[0060] Water in the water tank (12) can be supplied to the steam generator (60) and used to form steam. The water tank (12) can be installed so as to be detachable from the main body (10) to facilitate water replenishment.

[0061] For example, a drainage tank (11) and a water supply tank (12) may be provided in front of the machine room (40). The machine room (40) may be provided on the lower side of the main body (10). The machine room (40) may be provided on the lower side of the management room (30).

[0062] For example, a steam generator (60) that receives water from a water tank (12) and forms steam can be placed in the machine room (40).

[0063] The steam generator (60) is connected to a water tank (12) and can receive water to generate steam.

[0064] Steam generated in the steam generator (60) can be moved to the steam inlet (33) and sprayed into the management room (30).

[0065] For example, the steam inlet (33) can be placed on the lower surface (30a) of the management room (30) and the rear surface (30b) of the management room (30) adjacent to it.

[0066] For example, the steam inlet (33) can be placed on the lower surface (30a) of the management room (30).

[0067] For example, the steam inlet (33) can be placed on the side of the management room (30) adjacent to the lower surface (30a) of the management room (30).

[0068] For example, a nozzle may be formed in the steam inlet (33) to smoothly spray steam into the internal space of the management room (30).

[0069] The clothing manager (1) may include a clothing support member (80) provided inside the management room (30) to support clothing.

[0070] The clothing support member (80) can be installed on the upper surface (30c) of the management room (30). The clothing support member (80) can be detachably installed in the management room (30).

[0071] For example, at least one clothing support member (80) may be provided. The clothing support member (80) may be formed in the shape of a clothes hanger so that clothing can be hung on it.

[0072] The clothing support member (80) may be designed to allow air to flow into its interior. Dust or foreign substances on the clothing may be removed by the air supplied into the interior of the clothing support member (80).

[0073] An air hole (81) may be formed in the clothing support member (80) to allow air to flow into the interior of the clothing support member (80). The air hole (81) may be formed at the top of the clothing support member (80), and air may be supplied to the clothing through the air hole (81).

[0074] For example, the clothing manager (1) may include a blower (90) for circulating air inside the management room (30). According to one embodiment, the blower (90) may be placed at the top of the management room (30).

[0075] For example, the blower (90) may be arranged to suck in air inside the management room (30) and supply air to the clothing support member (80) through the air hole (81).

[0076] The clothing manager (1) may include a heating device (100) that transfers heat to clothing supported on a clothing support member (80).

[0077] For example, the heating device (100) can be installed on the upper surface (30c) of the management room (30).

[0078] For example, the heating device (100) can be arranged parallel to the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) of the main body (10).

[0079] For example, when a plurality of clothing support members (80) are provided, a number of heating devices (100) may be provided corresponding to the number of clothing support members (80). For example, a plurality of heating devices (100) may be arranged corresponding to each clothing support member (80) in the left and right direction (Y) with respect to a plurality of clothing support members (80).

[0080] The heating device (100) may be configured so that heat generated from the heating device (100) is radiated and transferred to clothing, or so that heat is conducted to clothing in contact with the heating device (100) and transferred to the clothing.

[0081] Below, the heating device (100) is described in detail.

[0082] FIG. 4 is a drawing showing a case where the surface heating element of FIG. 3 is unfolded, FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a side view of a clothing support member and a heating device of a clothing manager according to one embodiment, FIG. 6 is a drawing showing a case where the surface heating element of FIG. 5 is unfolded, and FIG. 7 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of a surface heating element of a clothing manager according to one embodiment.

[0083] As illustrated in FIGS. 4 to 6, the heating device (100) may include a surface heating element (110) that is configured to generate heat. The surface heating element (110) may be configured to transfer heat to clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30) by generating heat.

[0084] The heating device (100) may be electrically connected to the power supply of the clothing manager (1) and may be configured to generate heat according to the flow of current.

[0085] For example, the heating device (100) may be made of a flexible material and may be designed to be rolled or curved by an external force.

[0086] For example, the heating device (100) may include a drum (120) that is connected to the first stage (111) of the planar heating element (110) and rotates so that the planar heating element (110) rolls.

[0087] For example, the heating device (100) may include a drive motor (130) that transmits rotational force to the drum (120).

[0088] The surface heating element (110) may be arranged to be rolled around the drum (120) by one-way rotation of the drum (120) and to be released from the drum (120) by the opposite rotation of the drum (120).

[0089] For example, when the drum (120) rotates in the opposite direction, the surface heating element (110) may be arranged to be released from the rolled state from the drum (120) and spread out toward the lower surface (30a) of the management room (30).

[0090] For example, the heating device (100) may include a housing (140) to which a drum (120) is rotatably coupled and a drive motor (130) is supported.

[0091] For example, the heating device (100) may be installed on the upper surface (30c) of the management room (30). For example, when the surface heating element (110) is released by the rotation of the drum (120), the surface heating element (110) may be arranged to spread out from the upper surface (30c) of the management room (30) toward the lower surface (30a) of the management room (30).

[0092] When the second stage (112) provided at an opposite position to the first stage (111) of the surface heating element (110) is assumed to be in a storage state (110i) when the surface heating element (110) is wound around a drum (120) and positioned inside a housing (140), and the second stage (112) is assumed to be in a withdrawal state (110o) when the surface heating element (110) is withdrawn outside the housing (140), the surface heating element (110) can be rolled in one direction from the storage state (110i) to the withdrawal state (110o), and can be rolled in the opposite direction from the withdrawal state (110o) to the storage state (110i).

[0093] The storage state (110i) here is assumed to be a state in which the surface heating element (110) is completely wrapped around the drum (120) by the rotation of the drum (120), and the withdrawal state is assumed to be a state in which the surface heating element (110) is completely released from the drum (120) by the rotation of the drum (120) in the opposite direction.

[0094] When the surface heating element (110) is in the withdrawal state (110o), the surface heating element (110) can be positioned so as to face the clothing (C) located inside the management room (30).

[0095] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the clothing manager (1) to apply voltage to the surface heating element (110) when the surface heating element (110) is in the withdrawal state (110o) so that the surface heating element (110) generates heat.

[0096] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the clothing manager (1) so as not to apply voltage to the surface heating element (110) when the surface heating element (110) is in a storage state (110i).

[0097] For example, the clothing support member (80) may be arranged to extend in the front-back direction (X). For example, the clothing support member (80) may support the clothing (C) so that the shoulder line of the clothing (C) is positioned in the front-back direction (X).

[0098] For example, the drum (120) may include a rotation axis (121) extending in the forward-backward direction (X) corresponding to the extension direction of the clothing support member (80). For example, the drum (120) may be provided in a cylindrical shape extending in the forward-backward direction (X).

[0099] For example, the heating device (100) can be arranged in parallel with the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) perpendicular to the extension direction of the clothing support member (80).

[0100] When the surface heating element (110) is in the withdrawal state (110o), the surface heating element (110) may be arranged to face the clothing support member (80). Accordingly, when the surface heating element (110) is heated, heat can be transferred to the clothing (C) supported by the clothing support member (80).

[0101] The surface heating element (110) includes a heating surface (113) that transfers heat to clothing (C), and when the surface heating element (110) is in a withdrawn state (110o), the heating surface (113) may be arranged to face the clothing support member (80). The heating surface (113) may be arranged to face the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) when the surface heating element (110) is in a withdrawn state (110o).

[0102] For example, when a plurality of clothing support members (80) are provided, a plurality of heating devices (100) can be arranged in parallel with each clothing support member (80) in the left and right directions (Y).

[0103] For example, assuming that the clothing support member (80) is composed of three parts, the clothing support member (80) may include a first support member (80a), a second support member (80b), and a third support member (80c) in the left-right direction (Y). At this time, the heating device (100) may include a first heating device (100a), a second heating device (100b), and a third heating device (100c).

[0104] For example, the first heating device (100a) may be arranged to correspond to the first support member (80a) in the left-right direction (Y). For example, the second heating device (100b) may be arranged to correspond to the second support member (80b) in the left-right direction (Y). For example, the third heating device (100c) may be arranged to correspond to the third support member (80c) in the left-right direction (Y).

[0105] For example, when clothing (C) is supported only on the first support member (80a) and the second support member (80b) inside the management room (30) and the clothing (C) is not supported on the third support member (80c), the sensor unit of the clothing manager (1) can sense that the clothing (C) is supported only on the first and second support members (80a, 80b) and transmit the sensing value to the control unit of the clothing manager (1). Based on the sensing value, the control unit can control the first heating device (100a) and the second heating device (100b) so that the surface heating elements (110) of the first heating device (100a) and the second heating device (100b) are changed from the storage state (110A) to the withdrawal state (120B), respectively. Thereafter, the control unit can control the first heating device (100a) and the second heating device (100b) so that the surface heating elements (110) of the first heating device (100a) and the second heating device (100b) generate heat. At this time, the control unit can control the third heating device (100c) so that the third heating device (100c) is not driven.

[0106] In the past, a compressor, heat exchanger, etc. were required to heat the air to dry the clothes, and the volume of the machine room increased due to the configuration to heat the air, which increased the volume of the clothes manager.

[0107] In addition, as high-temperature air is supplied into the management room from the high-temperature air supply unit located on one side of the management room, the heating efficiency of clothing separated from the supply unit may decrease, and thus the heating efficiency of clothing stored in the management room may decrease.

[0108] However, the clothing manager (1) can drive the heating device (100) to dry the clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30). The heating device (100) is placed adjacent to the clothing (C), and the heat generated from the surface heating element (110) of the heating device (100) is directly transferred to the clothing (C), thereby increasing the heating efficiency of the clothing (C). In addition, since the heating device (100) is installed inside the management room (30), the volume of the machine room (40) can be minimized, thereby minimizing the volume of the entire clothing manager (1) or maximizing the volume of the management room (30).

[0109] For example, the distance (d1) between the rotation axis of the drum (120) in the left-right direction (Y) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) can be set to a distance at which heat generated from the surface heating element (110) can be efficiently transferred to the clothing (C) supported on the clothing support member (80). For example, the distance (d1) between the rotation axis of the drum (120) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) can be determined in consideration of the maximum temperature that can be generated from the surface heating element (110), the radiant heat that can be transferred to the clothing (C) supported on the support member (80), the humidity inside the management room (30), etc.

[0110] For example, a clothing manager (1) may be arranged so that steam generated from a steam generator (50) is sprayed into the management room (30) to perform refreshing functions such as wrinkle removal, deodorization, and static electricity removal of clothing (C) placed inside the management room (30).

[0111] Conventional garment managers are designed to spray steam into the room, then supply hot air to dry the moisture on the garments, removing wrinkles. However, this hot air drying method was not effective in removing wrinkles. Furthermore, generating excessive steam to remove wrinkles increased the steam generation time, and the power supplied to the garment manager to generate this excess steam also increased.

[0112] However, the heating device (100) of the clothing manager (1) is placed adjacent to the clothing (C), and the heat generated from the surface heating element (110) of the heating device (100) is directly transferred to the clothing (C), thereby increasing the heating efficiency of the clothing (C), and since the heating device (100) is installed inside the management room (30), the volume of the machine room (40) can be minimized, thereby minimizing the volume of the entire clothing manager (1) or maximizing the volume of the management room (30).

[0113] In addition, since the heating device (100) directly transfers the heat generated from the heating device (100) to the clothing (C), the refreshing function of the clothing manager (1) can be performed using a smaller amount of steam than before.

[0114] As illustrated in FIG. 7, the surface heating element (110) may include a first layer (114) forming a heating surface (113).

[0115] The first layer (114) can be provided as the layer closest to the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y).

[0116] The heating surface (113) is a surface exposed to the outside in the first layer (114) and can be provided to release heat generated from the surface heating element (110) to the outside.

[0117] The heating surface (113) can be provided so that heat generated from the heating layer (115) to be described later is transferred and the heat generated thereby is radiated to the clothing (C) supported by the clothing support member (80).

[0118] For example, the first layer (114) can be made of a transparent material.

[0119] For example, the first layer (114) can be made of a flexible material.

[0120] For example, the first layer (114) may be made of a polyimide film material.

[0121] For example, the first layer (114) can be made of UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) material.

[0122] The surface heating element (110) can be made of a material having a predetermined transparency so that the user can check the condition of the clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30) even in the withdrawal state (100o).

[0123] Accordingly, not only the first layer (114), but also the heating layer (115), electrode (116), cover layer (117), and second layer (118) described later can be made of a material having a predetermined transparency.

[0124] For example, the first layer (114) may be formed in a square shape.

[0125] The surface heating element (110) is placed at the rear of the first layer (114) with respect to the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) and may include a heating layer (115) that is provided to generate heat.

[0126] For example, the heating layer (115) can be made of a flexible material.

[0127] For example, the heating layer (115) may be formed of a graphene material. For example, the heating layer (115) may be formed of a graphene thin film layer.

[0128] The heating layer (115) may be connected to a power source located outside the heating layer (115) through an electrode (116) to be described later, and may be arranged to generate heat by current when power is applied.

[0129] For example, the heating layer (115) can be formed of a transparent graphene material.

[0130] For example, the heating layer (115) may be provided in a square shape. For example, the heating layer (115) may be provided in a square shape with a smaller area than the first layer (114).

[0131] For example, the heating layer (115) may be formed of a plurality of graphene thin film layers. For example, the plurality of graphene thin film layers may be arranged to overlap each other in the left-right direction (Y) when the planar heating element (110) is in a drawn-out state (110o).

[0132] The surface resistance value of the entire heating layer (115) can be set by the number of multiple graphene thin film layers, and accordingly, the temperature level of heat transferred to the clothing (C) supported by the clothing support member (80) can be set.

[0133] For example, a plurality of graphene thin film layers may be arranged so that two or three layers are stacked in the left-right direction (Y). For example, a plurality of graphene thin film layers may be arranged so that ten or fewer layers are stacked in the left-right direction (Y).

[0134] For example, a surface heating element (110) may include an electrode (116) electrically connected to a heating layer (115).

[0135] For example, electrodes (116) may be provided on each of a pair of edges of a heating layer (115) formed in a square shape.

[0136] For example, the electrode (116) may be arranged to extend along the long side (110L) of the heating layer (115) corresponding to the long side (110L) of the surface heating element (110).

[0137] This is to form a short distance between a pair of electrodes (116). When a pair of electrodes (116) extends along a short side of a heating layer (115) corresponding to a short side (120b) of a surface-shaped heating element (110), the distance between the pair of electrodes (116) is greater than when extending along a long side of the heating layer (115), so the heating performance may be reduced.

[0138] For example, the electrode (116) may be formed through patterning. For example, the electrode (116) may be provided to be patterned on the edge of the heating layer (115). For example, the electrode (116) may be provided by forming a pattern structure on the edge of the heating layer (115) and transferring the electrode (116) to this pattern structure.

[0139] For example, the electrode (116) may include a transparent material to have a predetermined transparency. For example, the electrode (116) may include a metal material such as silver (Ag) or copper (Cu) for conductivity and a material having a transparent material.

[0140] For example, the electrode (116) may be provided in a pattern of microscopic size so as not to be visible to the user.

[0141] The surface heating element (110) may include a cover layer (117) that covers the heating layer (115) from the rear in the left-right direction (Y) when the surface heating element (110) is in the withdrawal state (110o).

[0142] For example, the cover layer (117) may be made of a flexible material.

[0143] For example, the cover layer (117) may be made of a transparent material.

[0144] The cover layer (117) can prevent the heating layer (115) from being exposed to the outside, thereby preventing the heating layer (115) from being oxidized by contact with external air.

[0145] The front side of the heating layer (115) in the left-right direction (Z) may be covered by the first layer (114), and the back side of the heating layer (115) may be covered by the cover layer (117) so as not to be exposed to the outside.

[0146] The front side of the heating layer (115) in the left-right direction (Z) can be attached to the upper surface of the first layer (114), and the back side of the heating layer (115) can be bonded to the cover layer (117).

[0147] For example, the cover layer (117) can be made of a material with high heat resistance.

[0148] For example, the cover layer (117) can be formed of a polymer material with high confidentiality.

[0149] For example, the cover layer (117) may include a silicone material. For example, the cover layer (117) may include an EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) material.

[0150] The planar heating element (110) may include a second layer (119) formed at the rear end of the planar heating element (110) in the left-right direction (Y) when the planar heating element (110) is in the withdrawal state (110o).

[0151] The second layer (119) can be placed behind the cover layer (117) in the left-right direction (Y).

[0152] For example, the second layer (119) can be made of a transparent material.

[0153] For example, the second layer (119) may be made of a flexible material. For example, the second layer (119) may be made of a polyimide film material.

[0154] For example, the second layer (119) can be made of UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) material.

[0155] For example, the second layer (119) may be formed in a square shape. For example, the second layer (119) may be formed with an area approximately corresponding to that of the first layer (114). For example, the second layer (119) and the first layer (114) may be arranged to overlap each other in a corresponding vertical direction (Z).

[0156] The surface heating element (110) may be disposed between the first layer (114) and the second layer (118) in the left-right direction (Y) in the withdrawal state (110o) and may include a sealing member (119) that seals the heating layer (115) and the cover layer (117).

[0157] The sealing member (119) can prevent external air from flowing into the inside of the planar heating element (110) in the forward / backward direction (X) or the up / down direction (Z).

[0158] The sealing member (119) may be provided to seal the edge of the surface heating element (110). For example, the sealing member (119) may be provided to seal between the first layer (114) and the second layer (118) in the vertical direction (Z) and the front-back direction (X).

[0159] For example, the sealing member (119) can be formed of a high-confidence polymer material.

[0160] For example, the sealing member (19) may include an acrylic material or a silicone material.

[0161] For example, the surface heating element (110) may be provided with a thickness less than a predetermined thickness so that the surface heating element (110) is maintained in a state of being wound around the drum (120) by the rotation of the drum (120). For example, the surface heating element (110) may be provided with a thickness of less than 1 mm.

[0162] FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating aspects of a garment support member and a heating device of a garment manager according to one embodiment.

[0163] In the past, as excessive steam was generated to remove wrinkles, the time for generating steam increased, and the power supplied to the garment manager increased to generate excessive steam.

[0164] For example, the heating device (100) of the clothing manager (1) may be set so that the surface heating element (110) is heated in a state where the clothing (C) supported on the clothing support member (80) is in direct contact with the clothing (C) so that wrinkles in the clothing (C) are removed, and the distance (d2) between the rotation axis of the drum (120) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) can be set.

[0165] As the heated surface heating element (110) comes into direct contact with the clothing (C), wrinkles can be efficiently removed by the surface heating element (110).

[0166] The distance (d2) between the rotation axis of the drum (120) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) can be set so that the distance between the clothing (C) supported by the clothing support member (80) and the surface heating element (110) in the left-right direction (Y) is very close when the surface heating element (110) is in the withdrawn state (110o).

[0167] For example, a surface heating element (110) adjacent to clothing (C) may be arranged to come into contact with clothing (C) by moisture remaining on the clothing (C) due to steam.

[0168] For example, the distance (d2) between the rotation axis of the drum (120) in the left-right direction (Y) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) can be set to a distance at which the surface heating element (110) can come into contact with the clothing (C) by the moisture remaining on the clothing (C) due to the steam.

[0169] For example, the heating device (100) may be arranged to move in the left and right direction (Y) depending on the type of operation of the clothing manager (1).

[0170] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the heating device (100) so that the position of the heating device (100) moves in the left and right direction (Y) based on the type of motion input by the user.

[0171] For example, the heating device (100) can be moved left and right (Y) so that the distance between the rotational axis of the drum (120) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) changes in the left and right direction (Y).

[0172] For example, when clothing that does not require wrinkle removal is supported on the clothing support member (80), the user can input a clothing management operation that does not include wrinkle removal into the clothing manager (1), and the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the position of the heating device (100) so that the distance between the rotation axis of the drum (120) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) is d1 based on the information input by the user.

[0173] For example, when clothing requiring wrinkle removal is supported on a clothing support member (80), a user can input a clothing management operation including wrinkle removal to the clothing manager (1), and the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the heating device (100) to move the position of the heating device (100) so that the distance between the rotational axis of the drum (120) and the center (m) of the clothing support member (80) in the left-right direction (Y) becomes from d1 to d2 based on the information input by the user.

[0174] For example, when a user inputs an operation that requires wrinkle removal for the first support member (80a) and does not require wrinkle removal for the second support member (80b), the control unit may control the position of the first heating device (100a) so that the distance between the rotational axis (121) of the drum (120) of the first heating device (100a) and the center (m) of the first support member (80a) in the left-right direction (Y) becomes d2, and may control the position of the second heating device (100b) so that the distance between the rotational axis (121) of the drum (120) of the second heating device (100b) and the center (m) of the second support member (80b) in the left-right direction (Y) becomes d1.

[0175] FIG. 9 is a schematic cross-sectional side view of a surface heating element of a garment manager according to one embodiment.

[0176] For example, the second layer (118) may include a low-emissivity surface (118a) positioned toward the heating layer (115) to reflect heat toward the heating layer (115).

[0177] For example, a low-radiation surface (118a) can be formed on the front surface of the second layer (118) in the left-right direction (Y) when the surface heating element (110) is in the withdrawal state (110o).

[0178] For example, the low-emissivity surface (118a) may be provided with a low-emissivity coating having an emissivity of approximately 0.01 to 0.5.

[0179] For example, a low-emission surface (118a) coated with a low-emission material may be arranged on the front side of the second layer (118) in the left-right direction (Y).

[0180] The heat transferred from the heating layer (115) to the second layer (118) through the low-emission surface (118a) is reflected back to the heating layer (118) and the heating surface (113), so that a greater amount of heat can be transferred to the clothing (C) supported by the clothing support member (80) on the heating surface (113).

[0181] For example, the low-radiation surface (118a) can increase the heat generation efficiency of the surface heating element (110) by reflecting the heat generated in the heating layer (114) in the left-right direction (Y) in the withdrawal state (110o) of the surface heating element (110) in the direction opposite to the direction in which the clothing support member (80) is arranged, toward the direction in which the clothing support member (80) is arranged.

[0182] FIG. 10 is a drawing showing a door opened in a garment manager according to one embodiment, and FIG. 11 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of a garment manager according to one embodiment.

[0183] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a compressor (62) and a heat exchanger (63, 64) that are provided to provide heated air inside a management room (30) or to dehumidify air inside the management room (30).

[0184] For example, the compressor (62) and heat exchanger (63, 64) can be placed inside the machine room (40).

[0185] For example, a heat exchanger (63, 64) may be placed inside a machine room duct (60) and may exchange heat with air flowing inside the machine room duct (60). Air that has exchanged heat with the heat exchanger (63, 64) may be introduced into a management room (30) through the machine room duct (60).

[0186] For example, the heat exchanger (63, 64) may include an evaporator (63) and a condenser (64).

[0187] For example, air flowing into the machine room duct (60) absorbs latent heat of the surrounding air as the refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator (63), thereby condensing and removing moisture in the air. The air from which moisture has been removed is then introduced back into the management room (30) through the machine room duct (60), so that the air inside the management room (30) can be dehumidified.

[0188] For example, when the refrigerant is condensed in the condenser (64) through the compressor (62), the air inside the machine room duct (60) can be heated by releasing latent heat toward the surrounding air.

[0189] For example, the evaporator (63) and the condenser (64) perform a heat exchange function, so that the air introduced into the machine room (40) by the machine room fan (61) can be dehumidified and heated sequentially through the evaporator (63) and the condenser (64).

[0190] For example, the machine room duct (60) can be connected to the machine room inlet (31) and the machine room outlet (32) of the management office (30). One end of the machine room duct (60) can be connected to the machine room inlet (31) and the other end can be connected to the machine room outlet (32).

[0191] The air in the management room (30) can be discharged into the machine room duct (60) through the machine room exhaust port (32), and the discharged air can be dehumidified and then introduced back into the management room (30) through the machine room inlet port (31).

[0192] For example, condensate condensed by the evaporator (51) can be collected in a drain (11) and discharged outside the clothing manager (1).

[0193] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a condenser (64) and a heating device (100) configured to heat the inside of a management room (30).

[0194] In the past, in order to heat the inside of the clothing management machine, heat-exchanged air was introduced into the management room through a condenser, but in order to provide high-temperature heat to the inside of the management room, the capacity of the compressor and condenser was increased, and accordingly, the volume inside the machine room increased, and as high-temperature air is supplied into the management room from the high-temperature air supply unit located on one side of the management room, the heating efficiency of clothing separated from the supply unit is reduced, and thus the heating efficiency of clothing stored in the management room may be reduced.

[0195] However, since the clothing manager (1) includes not only a condenser (64) that heats the air inside the management room (30) but also a heating device (100) that directly supplies heat to clothing stored inside the management room (30), the capacity of the compressor (62) and the condenser (64) can be reduced compared to the capacity of existing compressors and condensers, thereby reducing the volume of the machine room (40) and increasing the heating efficiency of clothing stored in the management room (30).

[0196] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the clothing manager (1) to operate by selecting one of the following modes: an operation mode for supplying high-temperature air into the management room (30) through a condenser (64) based on the user's operation mode input information of the clothing manager (1), or a mode for directly transferring heat to clothing accommodated in the management room (30) through a heating device (100).

[0197] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the clothing manager (1) to supply high-temperature air into the management room (30) through the condenser (64) based on the user's input information on the operation mode of the clothing manager (1) while simultaneously transferring heat directly to the clothing accommodated inside the management room (30) through the heating device (100).

[0198] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the clothing manager (1) so that when the condenser (64) and the heating device (100) are operated simultaneously, the amount of heat transferred to the clothing accommodated inside the management room (30) through the condenser (64) is greater than the amount transferred from the heating device (100).

[0199] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the clothing manager (1) so that when the condenser (64) and the heating device (100) are operated simultaneously, the amount of heat transferred to the clothing accommodated inside the management room (30) through the condenser (64) is less than the amount transferred from the heating device (100).

[0200] FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating a side view of a clothing support member and a heating device of a clothing manager according to one embodiment, FIG. 13 is a view illustrating a state in which the heating device in FIG. 12 is moved, and FIG. 14 is a view illustrating a state in which a surface heating element in FIG. 12 is spread out.

[0201] As illustrated in FIGS. 12 to 14, for example, a clothing manager (1) may include a compressor and a heat exchanger that are provided to provide heated air inside a management room (30) or to dehumidify air inside the management room (30), and a heating device (200) that directly transfers heat to clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30).

[0202] For example, clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30) of the clothing manager (1) can be heated by high-temperature air from the heat exchanger. For example, the heating device (200) can additionally provide heat to clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30). For example, when additional heating is required for clothing (C) supported on one of the support members (80a) among the plurality of clothing support members (80), the surface heating element (210) of the heating device (200) can be brought into a withdrawal state (210o) toward the clothing (C) supported on one of the support members (80a) and generate heat.

[0203] For example, when clothing (C) supported on one of the plurality of clothing support members (80) requires an additional wrinkle removal process, the heating device (200) may be configured to have a planar heating element (210) of the heating device (200) be brought into a withdrawal state (210o) toward the clothing (C) supported on one of the support members (80a) and generate heat. The planar heating element (210) may be arranged to come into contact with the clothing (C) supported on one of the support members (80a) in the withdrawal state (210o), and may be arranged to generate heat while the clothing (C) is in contact so that wrinkles on the clothing (C) are removed.

[0204] For example, the clothing manager (1) can drive the heating device (200) so that the surface heating element (210) is in a withdrawal state (210o) while the heat exchanger and compressor are being driven, thereby transferring heat to the clothing (C).

[0205] For example, the clothing manager (1) can drive the heating device (200) so that the surface heating element (210) is in a withdrawal state (210o) after the heat exchanger and compressor are driven, thereby transferring heat to the clothing (C).

[0206] For example, the clothing manager (1) can drive the heating device (200) so that the surface heating element (210) is in a withdrawal state (210o) before the heat exchanger and compressor are driven, thereby transferring heat to the clothing (C).

[0207] For example, a clothing manager (1) can provide heat to clothing (C) accommodated inside a management room (30) through a heating device (200) when the compressor and heat exchanger are not operating. For example, the heating device (200) can be arranged to transfer heat only to clothing (C) supported by one of a plurality of clothing support members (80a).

[0208] For example, the heating device (200) may be arranged to be movable in the left-right direction (Y). For example, the heating device (200) may include a moving device (290), and the housing (240) of the heating device (200) may be arranged to be connected to the moving device (290) and move in the left-right direction (Y).

[0209] For example, the moving device (290) includes a rail extending in the left-right direction (Y) and a driving motor, etc., and is combined with the housing (240) to move the housing (240).

[0210] For example, the rail of the moving device (290) may be arranged to extend in the forward / backward direction (X) and / or the up / down direction (Z), so that the housing (240) may be arranged to move in the forward / backward direction (X) and / or the up / down direction (Z).

[0211] For example, when the housing (240) is moved by the moving device (290), the surface heating element (210) can be moved together with the housing (240) to a storage state (210i) placed inside the housing (240).

[0212] For example, the moving device (290) may be placed on the upper surface (30c) of the management office (30) and located outside the management office (30).

[0213] For example, the moving device (290) may be installed on the upper surface (30c) of the management office (30) and positioned inside the management office (30).

[0214] For example, the sensor unit of the clothing manager (1) can sense that the clothing (C) is supported only on the first support member (80a) and transmit the sensing value to the control unit of the clothing manager (1). Based on the sensing value, the control unit can control the heating device (200) so that the moving device (290) moves the housing (240) in the left-right direction (Y) to a position adjacent to the first support member (80a). The control unit can control the heating device (200) so that after the housing (240) is moved in the left-right direction (Y) to a position adjacent to the first support member (80a), the surface heating element (210) is brought into a withdrawal state (210o) through the rotation of the drum (220).

[0215] For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) can control the heating device (200) to be moved to a certain position of the housing (240) by the moving device (290) based on the user's input information. For example, when additional wrinkle removal is required for the clothing (C) supported on the first support member (80a), the user can input corresponding information to the clothing manager (1), and the control unit can control the heating device (200) to be moved to a position adjacent to the first support member (80a) by the moving device (290) based on the user's input information, and to be brought into a withdrawal state (210o) by the rotation of the drum (220) by the surface heating element (210).

[0216] FIG. 15 is a drawing showing a door opened in a garment manager according to one embodiment, and FIG. 16 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of a garment manager according to one embodiment.

[0217] As shown in FIGS. 15 and 16, for example, the clothing manager (1) can transfer heat to the inside of the management room (30) only through the heating device (100).

[0218] For example, a clothing manager (1) can circulate air inside a management room (30) through a blower (90).

[0219] For example, since a compressor, heat exchanger, and machine room duct for supplying high-temperature air to the inside of the management room (30) in the clothing management machine (1) are unnecessary, the volume of the management room (30) can be maximized, thereby increasing the volume of clothing that can be accommodated inside the management room (30).

[0220] For example, as the volume of the management room (30) of the clothing management machine (1) increases, an additional management module capable of managing clothing and miscellaneous goods may be installed on one side of the management room (30). For example, a management module capable of managing shoes, etc. may be installed on the lower part of the management room (30).

[0221] FIG. 17 is a drawing showing a door opened in a garment manager according to one embodiment, FIG. 18 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of a garment manager according to one embodiment, and FIG. 19 is a drawing showing a case where a surface heating element in FIG. 18 is spread out.

[0222] As shown in FIGS. 17 to 19, for example, a heating device (300) may be placed at the bottom of a clothing support member (80).

[0223] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a compressor and a heat exchanger that are provided to provide heated air inside a management room (30) or to dehumidify the air inside the management room (30), and a heating device (300) that directly transfers heat to clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30).

[0224] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a heating device (300) to heat the inside of a management room (30).

[0225] For example, the housing (340) can be connected to the clothing support member (80) at the lower side of the clothing support member (80).

[0226] For example, the housing (340) can be placed on the inside of the clothing (C) when the clothing (C) is supported by the clothing support member (80).

[0227] For example, the heating device (300) can be operated while clothing (C) is supported on the clothing support member (80). For example, when the surface heating element (310) is withdrawn from the housing (340) in a withdrawal state (310o), the surface heating element (310) can be placed inside the clothing (C).

[0228] For example, when the surface heating element (310) generates heat, heat is transferred to the clothing (C) from the inside of the clothing (C), so that the heating efficiency toward the clothing (C) can be increased.

[0229] For example, when the surface heating element (310) is in the withdrawal state (310o), at least a portion of the clothing (C) may be arranged to come into contact with the surface heating element (310) as it is placed on the inside of the clothing (C). For example, when the surface heating element (310) is heated, wrinkles on at least a portion of the clothing (C) that comes into contact with the surface heating element (310) can be easily removed by the surface heating element (310).

[0230] For example, the drive motor (330) can rotate the drum (320) so that the surface heating element (310) rolls.

[0231] For example, the drive motor (330) may be configured to vibrate by generating rotational force. For example, the control unit of the clothing manager (1) may control the drive motor (330) so that the drive motor (330) vibrates.

[0232] For example, the vibration of the driving motor (330) is transmitted to the clothing support member (80), and accordingly, the vibration is transmitted to the clothing (C) supported by the clothing support member (80), so that foreign substances remaining on the clothing (C) can be removed from the clothing (C).

[0233] For example, the heating device (300) may be arranged so that vibration is generated in the drum (320) as the driving motor (330) periodically rotates the drum (320).

[0234] For example, the vibration of the drum (320) is transmitted to the clothing support member (80), and accordingly, the vibration is transmitted to the clothing (C) supported by the clothing support member (80), so that foreign substances remaining on the clothing (C) can be removed from the clothing (C).

[0235] FIG. 20 is a drawing showing a door opened in a garment manager according to one embodiment, and FIG. 21 is a schematic side cross-sectional view of a garment manager according to one embodiment.

[0236] As shown in FIG. 20 and FIG. 21, for example, a surface heating element (410) can be placed on the lower surface (30a) of the management room (30).

[0237] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a compressor and a heat exchanger that are provided to provide heated air inside a management room (30) or to dehumidify the air inside the management room (30), and a surface heating element (410) that directly transfers heat to clothing (C) accommodated inside the management room (30).

[0238] For example, a clothing manager (1) may include a surface heating element (410) to heat the inside of a management room (30).

[0239] For example, heat generated from a surface heating element (410) can be transferred into the management room (30) and directly transferred to clothing accommodated inside the management room (30).

[0240] For example, the surface heating element (410) can be placed on the rear side (30b) of the management room (30).

[0241] For example, a surface heating element (410) can be placed on the upper surface (30c) of the management room (30).

[0242] For example, a clothing manager includes a management room for accommodating clothing, and a surface heating element for transmitting heat to clothing accommodated in the management room, wherein the surface heating element includes a first layer facing the clothing accommodated in the management room, a heating layer provided to be in contact with the first layer and capable of generating heat, a cover layer covering the heating layer, and a second layer in contact with the cover layer.

[0243] For example, the present invention further includes a drum connected to one end of the surface heating element and rotating to roll the surface heating element, and a driving motor that transmits rotational force to the drum.

[0244] For example, the surface heating element is arranged to be wound around the drum by rotation of the drum in one direction and to be released from the drum by rotation of the drum in the opposite direction, and when the drum is rotated in the opposite direction, the surface heating element is arranged to be spread out from the drum toward the bottom of the management room.

[0245] For example, the drum is rotatably coupled and further includes a housing in which the driving motor is supported, and when the drum is rotated in one direction, the surface heating element is wound around the drum so that the entire surface heating element is positioned inside the housing.

[0246] For example, when the drum is rotated in the opposite direction, the surface heating element is arranged to be released from the drum and spread outwardly of the housing.

[0247] For example, the above-described management room further includes a clothing support member that is coupled to the upper surface of the management room and supports clothing accommodated in the management room, and the first layer is arranged to face the clothing support member when the surface heating element is spread out by rotation of the drum.

[0248] For example, the clothing support member is provided to extend in one direction, and the drum includes a rotation axis extending in a direction corresponding to the extension direction of the clothing support member, and is arranged parallel to the clothing support member in a direction orthogonal to the extension direction of the clothing support member.

[0249] For example, the apparatus further includes a clothing support member that is coupled to the upper surface of the management room and supports clothing accommodated in the management room, and the drum is coupled to the clothing support member so as to be rotatable at the lower side of the clothing support member.

[0250] For example, the surface heating element is placed on the lower surface of the management room, and the first layer is placed facing the upper surface of the management room.

[0251] For example, the surface heating element further includes electrodes electrically connected to the heating layer, and the electrodes are formed on both ends of the heating layer along the direction in which the surface heating element is released by the drum.

[0252] For example, the surface heating element further includes a sealing member disposed between the first layer and the second layer and sealing the heating layer and the cover layer.

[0253] For example, the heating layer is made of graphene.

[0254] For example, the cover layer includes a silicone material.

[0255] For example, the first layer and the second layer are each made of a polyimide film material.

[0256] For example, the second layer includes a low-emissivity surface positioned toward the heat-generating layer to reflect heat toward the heat-generating layer.

[0257] For example, a clothing manager includes a management room for accommodating clothing, and a heating device for transmitting heat to clothing accommodated in the management room, wherein the heating device includes a surface heating element that is arranged to generate heat, a drum that is connected to one end of the surface heating element and rotates to roll the surface heating element, and a drive motor that transmits rotational force to the drum, and wherein the surface heating element is arranged to face clothing accommodated in the management room when the surface heating element is spread out by rotation of the drum.

[0258] For example, the surface heating element includes a first layer facing the clothing accommodated in the management room, a heating layer that is provided to be in contact with the first layer and capable of generating heat, a cover layer that covers the heating layer, and a second layer that is in contact with the cover layer.

[0259] For example, the surface heating element is arranged to be wound around the drum by rotation of the drum in one direction and to be released from the drum by rotation of the drum in the opposite direction, and when the drum is rotated in the opposite direction, the surface heating element is arranged to be spread out from the drum toward the bottom of the management room.

[0260] For example, the drum is rotatably coupled and further includes a housing in which the driving motor is supported, and when the drum is rotated in one direction, the surface heating element is wound around the drum so that the entire surface heating element is positioned inside the housing.

[0261] For example, when the drum is rotated in the opposite direction, the surface heating element is arranged to be released from the drum and spread outwardly of the housing.

[0262] The above illustrates and describes specific embodiments. However, the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that various modifications and implementations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the claims below.
