Description

Garment processing equipment

[0001] This application relates to a clothing treatment device.

[0002]

[0003] A clothing treatment device is a general term for a device capable of washing a treatment object (a laundry object such as clothing) and a device capable of drying a treatment object (a drying object such as clothing).

[0004] A conventional clothing treatment device capable of drying a subject to be treated had a structure including a drum that provides a space for accommodating the subject to be treated, a circulation path that guides air discharged from the drum to the drum, a fan that moves the air along the circulation path, and a heat exchanger that sequentially performs dehumidification and heating of air introduced into the circulation path.

[0005] The heat exchanger is provided to include a first heat exchanger for cooling the air inside the circulation path, and a second heat exchanger for heating the air passing through the first heat exchanger. Since the air discharged from the drum is condensed while passing through the first heat exchanger, a collection chamber for storing condensate is provided inside the circulation path. The condensate stored in the collection chamber is discharged to the outside of the garment treatment device through a pump or stored in a drain tank provided inside the garment treatment device.

[0006] Additionally, the drain tank housing includes a water supply pipe that guides condensate that has moved from the collection chamber to the diversion section to the drain tank housing, and a return pipe that guides condensate that has overflowed from the drain tank to the drain space from the drain tank housing.

[0007] The above water supply pipe and the above recovery pipe are installed inside the cabinet and may cause friction with the internal components of the garment treatment device, thereby generating noise. Therefore, a bracket is installed on the fixed panel to secure the water supply pipe and the above recovery pipe, thereby preventing noise generation.

[0008] In addition, the drum shaft is coupled to the center of rotation of the drum to rotatably support the drum, and the shaft support includes a shaft through hole into which the drum shaft is inserted and a holder for rotatably fixing the drum shaft.

[0009] The conventional clothing treatment device had a problem in that the bracket was directly fixed to the fixed panel, taking up a lot of mounting space inside the cabinet, thus increasing the size of the clothing treatment device.

[0010] To solve this problem, the bracket receiving portion was provided in a bent shape on the fixed panel to receive the bracket, thereby reducing the mounting space inside the cabinet.

[0011] However, the conventional clothing treatment device had a problem in that the corners of the bracket were formed in a orthogonal shape, causing interference with the bracket receiving portion.

[0012] In addition, the conventional clothing treatment device was equipped with a holder for rotatably fixing the drum shaft and reinforcing the strength of the rear panel. The holder included a horizontal holder through hole to accommodate a protrusion bent from the fixing panel toward the outside of the cabinet.

[0013] However, the holder was provided with only a horizontal holder penetration hole, which caused the rear panel to break and warp due to continuous operation of the drum.

[0014]

[0015] The present invention aims to solve the problem of preventing noise generation by fixing the water supply pipe and the return pipe by providing the bracket to the fixed panel.

[0016] The present invention aims to solve the problem of reducing the mounting space inside the cabinet by forming the bracket receiving portion into a shape bent in the fixed panel to receive the bracket, thereby improving the usability of the internal space.

[0017] The present invention aims to solve the problem of preventing interference from occurring when the bracket is provided in a shape with rounded corners and is provided inside the bracket receiving portion.

[0018] The present invention aims to solve the problem of improving the strength of the rear panel by providing a plurality of protrusions protruding from the fixed panel toward the outside of the cabinet and providing a plurality of holder penetration holes to accommodate the protrusions.

[0019] The present invention aims to solve the problem of preventing interference between the holder and the protrusion by additionally providing the holder through hole in the holder.

[0064] As shown in Fig. 3, the front panel (11) may be provided with a cabinet inlet (111) communicating with the drum (2), an outlet (115) for withdrawing the drain tank (7) to be described later, and an outlet (117) communicating with the base (15).

[0065] As illustrated in Fig. 2, the cabinet inlet (111) may be opened and closed by a door (112), the outlet (115) may be connected to a drain tank housing (116) fixed inside the cabinet (1), and the discharge outlet (117) may be provided to be opened and closed by a discharge outlet cover (118). The door (112) and the discharge outlet cover (118) may be rotatably fixed to the front panel (11).

[0066] The above front panel (11) may be equipped with an interface, and FIG. 2 illustrates an example in which the interface is equipped with an input unit (113) and a display unit (114).

[0067] The above input unit (113) is a means for receiving a control command from a user, and the display unit (114) may be provided as a means for displaying a control command that can be selected by the user and a control command selected through the input unit.

[0068] As illustrated in Fig. 3, the first support member (12) may be provided to include a support panel (121) positioned on the rear surface of the front panel (11). The support panel (121) may be fixed to at least one of the front panel (11) and the base (15).

[0069] The above support panel (121) is provided with an inlet (122, panel inlet) that is connected to the drum (2), and the inlet (122) may be provided to be connected to the cabinet inlet (111) through a connecting body (123). The connecting body (123) may be provided in the shape of a pipe that extends from the edge of the inlet (122) toward the cabinet inlet (111).

[0070] The above connecting body (123) may be provided with an exhaust port (125) that guides air inside the drum (2) to the outside of the drum (2). The exhaust port (125) may be provided with a filter (127) that filters air discharged from the drum.

[0071] The above second support member (13, rear panel) may be provided to include a fixed panel (131) that is fixed to the base (15) and rotatably supports the rear surface of the drum (2).

[0072] Figure 4 illustrates an example in which the lower end of the fixed panel (131) is fixed to a panel mounting portion (152) provided on the upper surface of the base (15). In this case, the rear surface of the garment treatment device (100) will be formed by combining the rear surface of the base (15) and the fixed panel (131).

[0073] The above drum (2) may be provided to include a cylindrical drum body (21) having an empty interior, a drum front surface (22, front cover) forming the front surface of the drum body (21), and a drum rear surface (23, rear cover) forming the rear surface of the drum body (21).

[0074] A lifter (24) may be provided inside the drum body (21). When the drum (2) rotates, the processing object inside the drum body (21) will roll or fall inside the drum body (21) by the lifter (24).

[0075] The front surface (22) of the drum may be provided with a mounting hole (221) that communicates with the inlet (122) of the support panel, and the rear surface (23) of the drum may be provided with a drum shaft (25) that forms the center of rotation of the drum (2) and a plurality of drum supply holes (231) arranged to surround the drum shaft.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 5, the mounting hole (221) can be rotatably connected to the support panel (121), and the drum shaft (25) can be rotatably connected to the fixed panel (131).

[0077] The support panel (121) is provided with a ring-shaped mounting rib that surrounds the inlet (122), and the mounting hole (221) can be inserted into the mounting rib and connected to the support panel (121). Therefore, the processing target fed into the cabinet inlet (111) can be moved to the drum body (21) through the inlet (122). The mounting hole (221) not only serves as a means for connecting the drum body (21) to the support panel (121), but also functions as a drum inlet that introduces the processing target into the interior of the drum body (21).

[0078] As illustrated in Fig. 4, the fixed panel (131) may be provided with a shaft support portion that supports the drum shaft (25). The shaft support portion may be provided to include a shaft through-hole (133) that penetrates the fixed panel (131) and into which the drum shaft (25) is inserted, and a holder (135) that prevents the drum shaft (25) from being pulled out of the shaft through-hole (133).

[0079] The holder (135) is detachably fixed to the fixed panel (131), and one end of the drum shaft (25) exposed to the outside of the cabinet (1) through the shaft through hole (133) can be rotatably fixed to the holder (135).

[0080] The above fixed panel (131) may be provided with an air supply hole (136) for supplying air into the interior of the cabinet (1). The air supply hole (136) may be provided with a plurality of through holes arranged to surround the shaft through hole (133). The drum air supply holes (231) provided on the rear surface of the drum may be provided with a plurality of through holes located within a space formed when the air supply holes (136) of the fixed panel are projected onto the rear surface (23) of the drum.

[0081] The above base (15) may be provided to include a base body (15a) forming the bottom surface of the garment treatment device, and a base cover (15b) coupled to the base body (15a) to form the upper surface of the base.

[0082] Inside the above base (15), a flow path (3) that provides a path for air movement and a heat exchanger (4) that exchanges heat with the air moving along the flow path are provided.

[0083] The above-mentioned duct part (3) is connected to an exhaust port (117) provided on the front panel of the cabinet through an exhaust port communication hole (151), and at least one of the heat exchangers constituting the heat exchange part (4) can be exposed to the outside of the cabinet (1) through the exhaust port communication hole (151) and the exhaust port (117). Therefore, when the exhaust port cover (118) is removed and the exhaust port (117) is opened, the user will be able to remove foreign substances remaining in the heat exchange part (4) to the outside of the cabinet (1) through the exhaust port (117) and the exhaust port communication hole (151).

[0084] As shown in Fig. 5, the flow path (3) may be provided to include a heat exchange path (32) provided inside the base (15) to provide a space in which the heat exchange part (4) is mounted, an exhaust path (31) connecting the exhaust port (125) of the support panel and the heat exchange path (32), and a supply path (35) that guides air passing through the heat exchange path (32) to the supply port (136) of the fixed panel.

[0085] The heat exchange path (32) may be provided along the longitudinal direction of the base (15) (Z-axis direction, longitudinal direction of the drum), and the exhaust path (31) may be provided to penetrate the upper surface (base cover) of the base and be connected to the heat exchange path (32). In this case, the exhaust path (31) may be provided along the height direction of the base (Y-axis direction, height direction of the drum).

[0086] The above supply path (35) may be provided to include an air supply duct (351) that guides air discharged from the heat exchange path (32) to the air supply hole (136) of the fixed panel, and a sealing portion (352) that guides air passing through the air supply hole (136) to the drum air supply hole (231).

[0087] As shown in Fig. 4, the sealing portion (352) may be provided in a pipe shape, with one end (the fixed end of the sealing portion) being fixed to the fixed panel (131), and the other end (the free end of the sealing portion) being provided to contact the rear surface (23) of the drum.

[0088] Accordingly, the air discharged from the heat exchange path (32) moves to the air supply port (136) through the air supply duct (351), and the air passing through the air supply port (136) can move into the drum body (21) through the sealing portion (352) and the drum air supply port (231).

[0089] As illustrated in Fig. 6, the base (15) may be provided with a partition wall (321). The partition wall (321) is a means for dividing the heat exchange path (32) into a mounting space (32a) where the heat exchange unit (4) is mounted, and a drainage space (32b) for discharging condensate generated during the drying process from the mounting space.

[0090] The above-mentioned partition wall (321) may be provided as a support plate (support body) that divides the heat exchange path (32) so that the installation space (32a) is located above the drainage space (32b). In order for the condensate inside the installation space (32a) to move to the drainage space (32b), the partition wall (321) may be provided with a plurality of drainage holes (326, condensate drainage holes).

[0091] The above heat exchanger (4) may be provided to include a first heat exchanger (41) provided in the installation space (32a) to remove (dehumidify) water vapor contained in the air, a second heat exchanger (43) provided in the installation space to heat air that has passed through the first heat exchanger, a refrigerant pipe (48) that forms a circulation path of refrigerant passing through the heat exchangers, a compressor (45) that moves refrigerant along the refrigerant pipe, and a pressure regulator (47) that controls the pressure of the refrigerant moving along the refrigerant pipe.

[0092] As shown in Fig. 7, the first heat exchanger (41, heat absorber) and the second heat exchanger (43, heat generator) may be positioned inside the base (15), and the compressor (45) and the pressure regulator (47) may be positioned outside the base (15).

[0093] In order to prevent air inside the heat exchange channel (32) from leaking to the outside, the base cover (15b) and the base body (15a) may be connected through a base fastening portion having a protruding structure. The base fastening portion may be provided to include a base fastening protrusion (156a) provided along the edge of the heat exchange channel (32) among the base body (15a), and a base fastening groove (156b) provided in the base cover (15b) into which the base fastening protrusion is inserted.

[0094] The above base (15) may be provided with a compressor mounting portion (158) for fixing the compressor (45). The compressor mounting portion (158) may be provided in a space located outside the heat exchange path (32) among the spaces provided by the base body (15a).

[0095] The above clothing treatment device (100) may be equipped with a driving unit (5) that rotates the drum (2), and the base (15) may be equipped with a driving unit mounting unit (157) to which the driving unit (5) is fixed.

[0096] As shown in Fig. 8, the driving unit (5) may be provided to include a motor (51) fixed to the driving unit mounting unit (157), and a power transmission unit connecting the rotational shaft (52, motor shaft) of the motor and the circumference of the drum body (21).

[0097] As shown in Fig. 4, the power transmission unit may be provided to include a pulley (53) that rotates by the motor shaft (52), and a belt (54) that connects the pulley (53) and the circumference of the drum body (21).

[0098] In order to move air along the above-mentioned euro section (3) (to resupply air drawn from the drum to the drum), the heat exchange section (4) may be equipped with a fan (49).

[0099] The fan (49) may be provided with an impeller that rotates by the motor shaft (52). In this case, a fan mounting portion (353) that provides a space for accommodating the impeller may be provided on the rear surface of the base (15), and a flow path communication hole (354) that penetrates the rear surface of the base (15) and connects the mounting space (32a) and the fan mounting portion (353). The motor shaft (52) may be connected to the impeller by penetrating the flow path communication hole (354).

[0100] In this case, the air supply duct (351) of the supply path may be provided to connect the fan mounting portion (353) and the air supply port (136) of the fixed panel. That is, a portion of the air supply duct (351) may be fixed to the rear surface of the base (15) and communicate with the fan mounting portion (353), and the remaining portion of the air supply duct (351) may be fixed to the fixed panel (131) and communicate with the air supply port (136).

[0101] As described above, the clothing treatment device (100) has the fixed panel (131) fixed to the upper surface of the base (15), and if the air supply duct (351) is provided to connect the fixed panel (131) and the rear surface of the base (15), there is a beneficial effect in increasing the strength of the rear surface of the clothing treatment device (100).

[0102] In addition, when the fixed panel (131) is fixed to the upper surface of the base (15) (when the rear surface of the garment treatment device is formed by the fixed panel and the rear surface of the base), the volume of the garment treatment device (100) can be reduced while the volume of the drum can be maintained the same, compared to when the fixed panel is fixed to the rear surface of the base (when the fixed panel forms the rear surface of the garment treatment device).

[0103] Since the air flowing into the above-mentioned flow path (3) moves through an area with low flow resistance, the path of movement of the air passing through the above-mentioned flow path (3) is affected by the flow resistance caused by the shape of the above-mentioned flow path (3) or a device located inside the above-mentioned flow path (3).

[0104] Experiments have shown that the degree to which the air movement path is sensitive to flow resistance is less when the fan (49) is located downstream of the flow path than when the fan (49) is located upstream of the flow path. That is, when the fan (49) is located downstream of the flow path, the phenomenon in which air passes through only a portion of the front surface of the first heat exchanger (41) or only a portion of the front surface of the second heat exchanger (43) can be reduced.

[0105] Accordingly, if the fan (49) is not installed upstream of the flow path (3) (front area of ​​the flow path, space where the exhaust flow path is located) but is installed downstream of the flow path (3) (rear area of ​​the flow path), the heat exchange efficiency between the air and the heat exchangers (41, 43) can be increased.

[0106] As illustrated in Fig. 8, in the garment treatment device (100) having the above-described structure, when the fan (49) rotates, air inside the drum (2) is introduced into the mounting space (32a) through the exhaust passage (31). The air introduced into the mounting space (32a) moves to the fan mounting portion (353) through the first heat exchanger (41) and the second heat exchanger (43), and the air inside the fan mounting portion (353) will be resupplied to the drum (2) through the supply passage (35).

[0107] The air passing through the first heat exchanger (41) is cooled by releasing heat to the refrigerant, so the water vapor contained in the air is condensed while passing through the first heat exchanger (41), and the condensate moves from the installation space (32a) to the drain space (32b) through the drain hole (326, condensate discharge hole, located in the area of ​​the partition wall where the first heat exchanger is supported or around it) provided in the partition wall. The condensate inside the drain space (32b) moves to the water collecting unit (6), and the condensate stored in the water collecting unit (6) is discharged to the outside through the pump (8).

[0108] The above clothing treatment device (100) is characterized in that the direction of movement of the condensate toward the water collection unit (6) is set to be the same as the direction of movement (A) of the air passing through the heat exchange path (32).

[0109] The water collection part of a conventional clothing treatment device was generally located on the side of the above-mentioned flow path part (3). The space where the inlet of the above-mentioned flow path part (3) is located had to be provided so as to be in communication with the above-mentioned drum (2), and the space where the outlet of the above-mentioned flow path part (3) is located had to be provided so as to supply air with a fan.

[0110] In addition, since the flow path section can minimize flow resistance when the inlet and outlet are arranged in the same straight line, in the conventional clothing treatment device, the rotation center of the fan is located at the center of the width direction of the flow path section. Therefore, in the conventional clothing treatment device, the location of the water collection section had to be set to either the left or right side of the flow path section. This means that in the conventional clothing treatment device, a water collection passage that moves condensate along a direction orthogonal to the direction of movement (A) of air passing through the flow path section is required.

[0111] If the above-mentioned collection channel is provided as a channel orthogonal to the direction of movement of air passing through the above-mentioned flow path, the speed of the condensate moving to the collection chamber decreases near the collection channel, and therefore, foreign substances (such as lint) remaining in the condensate are more likely to remain near the collection channel.

[0112] However, as shown in Fig. 8, if the position of the water collecting unit (6) is set so that the movement path of the condensate is the same as the movement direction (A) of the air passing through the heat exchange path (32), the possibility of the condensate and foreign substances contained in the condensate remaining in the drainage space (32b) can be reduced.

[0113] As shown in Fig. 9, the water collecting unit (6) may be provided to include a water collecting chamber (61) that provides a space for storing condensate discharged from air passing through the first heat exchanger (41), and a water collecting passage (62) that guides the condensate to the water collecting chamber (61).

[0114] The above water collection chamber (61) may be provided to include a chamber body (611) that is fixed to the rear surface of the base (15) and positioned outside the heat exchange path (32), and a chamber cover (612) that is fixed to the chamber body (611) and forms the upper surface of the water collection chamber.

[0115] The above water collection channel (62) is located inside the heat exchange channel (32), and may be provided as a channel that penetrates the rear surface of the base and connects the chamber body (611) and the drainage space (32b).

[0116] The above-mentioned water collection channel (62) may be provided to provide a path for condensate to move in the same direction as the direction of movement (A) of air passing through the heat exchange channel. FIG. 9 (a) illustrates an example in which the water collection channel (62) is provided along the longitudinal direction (-Z-axis direction, direction from the first heat exchanger to the second heat exchanger) of the drainage space (32b).

[0117] From another perspective, the direction of movement (A) of air passing through the heat exchange channel (32) and the direction of movement of condensate passing through the water collection channel (62) may be set in a direction parallel to a straight line passing through the center of rotation of the drum (2). In addition, the direction of movement (A) of air passing through the heat exchange channel (32) and the direction of movement of condensate passing through the water collection channel may be set in the longitudinal direction of the drum (2) (from the front surface of the drum toward the rear surface of the drum).

[0118] When the direction of movement (A) of air passing through the heat exchange path (32) and the direction of movement of condensate passing through the water collection path are set to be the same, the condensate can easily move to the water collection unit (6), so that not only can the condensate be easily discharged from the drainage space (32b), but also the possibility of foreign substances contained in the condensate remaining in the drainage space (32b) can be reduced.

[0119] In order to facilitate the discharge of condensate from the above drainage space (32b), the bottom surface of the water collection channel (62) may be set lower than the bottom surface of the drainage space (32b). Fig. 6 illustrates an example in which the water collection channel (62) is provided as a groove in which the bottom surface of the drainage space (32b) is concavely bent.

[0120] Furthermore, at least a portion of the bottom surface of the water collection channel (62) may be provided to slope downward from the drainage space (32b) toward the water collection chamber (61).

[0121] In addition, the bottom surface of the drainage space (32b) may be provided to include a downwardly inclined surface toward the water collection channel (62). FIG. 9 (a) illustrates an example in which the bottom surface of the drainage space (32b) is provided with a first inclined surface (322), a second inclined surface (323) located on one side of the first inclined surface and connected to the first inclined surface, and a third inclined surface (324) located on the other side of the first inclined surface and connected to the first inclined surface.

[0122] The first inclined surface (322) may be a surface that slopes downward toward the water collection channel (62), the second inclined surface (323) may be a surface that slopes downward toward the left edge of the first inclined surface and is located on the left side of the first inclined surface, and the third inclined surface (324) may be a surface that slopes downward toward the right edge of the first inclined surface and is located on the right side of the first inclined surface. Unlike what is shown in the drawing, the garment treatment device may be provided to include at least one of the inclined surfaces.

[0123] When the water collecting unit (6) is provided in the location described above, it is difficult for the fan (49) to be located at the rear of the heat exchange path (32) due to the location of the water collecting unit (6) or the pump (8).

[0124] Accordingly, since the fan (49) must be positioned at a point spaced apart from the water collecting unit (6), it is preferable that the fan mounting unit (353) be positioned at a point spaced apart from the water collecting unit (6) along the width direction of the base (X-axis direction, width direction of the drum).

[0125] The rotation center (B, motor shaft) of the fan (49) may be provided parallel to the direction of movement (A) of the condensate passing through the collection channel (62), but may be provided to be located at a point spaced apart from the collection channel (62). Fig. 9 (b) illustrates an example in which the rotation center (B) of the fan (49) is located at a point outside the edges on both sides of the heat exchange channel (32) based on the width direction of the base (X-axis direction, width direction of the drum).

[0126] In this case, the flow path (3) may be further provided to include a connecting flow path (34) connecting the mounting space (32a) and the fan mounting portion (353). As described above, the fan mounting portion (353) may be connected to the heat exchange flow path (32) through the flow path communication hole (345). Therefore, the connecting flow path (34) may be provided as a flow path that guides air discharged from the mounting space (32a) to the flow path communication hole (354). In this case, the connecting flow path (34) may be located at a higher point than the drainage space (32b).

[0127] When the direction of movement of air passing through the above-mentioned mounting space (32a) is defined as the first direction, the direction of movement of air passing through the above-mentioned connecting passage (34) may be set to a second direction different from the first direction. The first direction may be set to the longitudinal direction (Z-axis direction) of the drum (2), and the second direction may be set to the width direction of the drum (X-axis direction, width direction of the base).

[0128] Fig. 9 (b) illustrates an example in which the angle formed by the direction of movement of air passing through the mounting space (32a) and the direction of movement of air passing through the connecting passage (34) is set to an angle of 90 degrees or more and less than 120 degrees (an angle capable of reducing resistance to the passage due to the connecting passage).

[0129] The condensate stored in the above collection chamber (61) can be discharged to the outside of the collection chamber through the pump (8).

[0130] As shown in Fig. 10, the pump (8) can be fixed to the chamber cover (612).

[0131] The chamber cover (612) may be provided with a cover penetration hole (613) that is provided to penetrate the chamber cover, and a discharge pipe (614) that is provided to penetrate the chamber cover but is located at a point spaced apart from the cover penetration hole.

[0132] In this case, the pump (8) may be provided to include an impeller housing (81) that is fixed to the lower surface of the chamber cover (612) and surrounds the cover penetration hole (613) and the discharge pipe (614), a pump impeller (83) that is inserted into the cover penetration hole (613) and is positioned inside the impeller housing (81), and a drain motor (84) that is fixed to the chamber cover (612) and rotates the pump impeller (83).

[0133] The above cover penetration hole (613) is closed by the housing of the drain motor (84), and the impeller housing (81) is provided to communicate with the chamber body (611) through the housing inlet (82).

[0134] Accordingly, when the pump impeller (83) rotates, the condensate inside the chamber body (611) flows into the impeller housing (81) through the housing inlet (82), and the condensate flowing into the impeller housing (81) will be discharged to the outside of the collection chamber (61) through the discharge pipe (614).

[0135] The condensate discharged from the water collection chamber (61) through the pump (8) may be supplied to the drain tank (7) or may be supplied to the washing unit (155) that sprays water to the first heat exchanger (41). That is, as shown in Fig. 6, the clothing treatment device (100) may be equipped with a flow conversion unit (9) that controls the direction of movement of the condensate discharged from the water collection chamber (61) through the pump (8).

[0136] The above-described euro switching unit (9) may be provided to include a euro body (91), a valve supply pipe (91) connecting the discharge pipe (614) to the euro body (91), a washing unit supply pipe (93) guiding condensate inside the euro body (91) to the washing unit (155), a drain tank supply pipe (94) guiding condensate inside the euro body (91) to the drain tank housing (116), and a switching valve (95) controlling the opening and closing of the two supply pipes (93, 94).

[0137] The above washing unit (155) may be provided to include a washing passage (155a) formed on the upper surface of the base (15), a passage cover (155b) fixed to the base (15) to form the upper surface of the washing passage (155a), and a spray port (155c) provided to penetrate the upper surface of the base (15) and discharge condensate inside the washing passage to the first heat exchanger (41). The spray port (155c) may be provided as a slit-shaped through hole whose length in the width direction (X-axis direction) of the base is longer than its length in the length direction (Z-axis direction) of the base.

[0138] When the pump (8) operates while the switching valve (95) opens the washing unit supply pipe (93), the condensate inside the water collection chamber (61) will be discharged to the front surface of the first heat exchanger (41) through the washing passage (155a). Accordingly, foreign substances remaining on the front surface of the first heat exchanger (41) will be separated from the first heat exchanger (41) by the condensate discharged from the injection port (155c), and the condensate containing the foreign substances will move to the drain space (32b) through the drain port (326) of the bulkhead.

[0139] As shown in Fig. 3, a tank water supply port (71) is provided on the upper surface of the drain tank (7), and a water supply pipe (116a) connected to the drain tank supply pipe (94) of the flow conversion unit is provided in the drain tank housing (116).

[0140] When the above drain tank (7) is inserted into the drain tank housing (116), the tank water supply port (71) is located below the outlet of the water supply pipe (116a). Therefore, when the pump (8) operates while the switching valve (95) opens the drain tank supply pipe (94), the condensate inside the water collection chamber (61) will move to the drain tank (7).

[0141] Meanwhile, if an amount of condensate greater than the amount that the drain tank (7) can store is supplied to the drain tank (7), the condensate will move to the drain tank housing (116) in which the drain tank (7) is accommodated.

[0142] In order to prevent condensate inside the drain tank housing (116) from falling to the drum (2) or the base (15), the clothing treatment device (100) may be provided with a recovery pipe (116b) connecting the drain tank housing (116) and the drain space (32b).

[0143] One end of the above recovery pipe (116b) may be fixed to the bottom surface of the drain tank housing (116), and the other end of the above recovery pipe (116b) may be provided to pass through the base cover (15b) and be connected to the drainage space (32b).

[0144] As shown in Fig. 10, a water level sensor (63) may be further provided in the water collection unit (6) to determine the amount of condensate inside the water collection chamber (61).

[0145] The water level sensor (63) may be provided to include two electrodes (631, 632) that extend from the upper surface of the water collection chamber (61) toward the bottom surface of the water collection chamber (61) but are spaced apart from each other.

[0146] That is, the water level sensor (63) may be provided to include a first electrode (631) having one end fixed to the chamber cover (612) and the other end (free end) positioned inside the chamber body (611), and a second electrode (632) having one end fixed to the chamber cover (612) and the other end (free end) positioned inside the chamber body (611).

[0147] Meanwhile, in the garment treatment device (100) having the above-described structure, the pressure in the drainage space (32b) may fluctuate when the fan (49) operates. This is because the drainage space (32a) is connected to the installation space (32a) through the drainage port (326) provided in the bulkhead.

[0148] Since the above water collection chamber (61) is connected to the drainage space (32b) through the water collection path (62), a change in the pressure of the drainage space (32b) causes a change in the pressure of the water collection chamber (61), which means that the water level inside the water collection chamber (61) may decrease when the fan (49) is in operation, and the water level measured by the water level sensor (63) may not be accurate.

[0149] In order to increase the accuracy of the value measured by the water level sensor (63), as shown in Fig. 11, it is preferable that the free ends of the electrodes (631, 632) be positioned at a point (H) lower than the inlet (621) of the water collection channel.

[0150] FIG. 11 illustrates an example in which the inlet (621) of the water collection channel is provided parallel to the bottom surface of the drainage space (32b), but the inlet (621) of the water collection channel may also be provided to be inclined from the bottom surface of the drainage space (32b) toward the bottom surface of the water collection channel (62). In the latter case, the free ends of the electrodes (631, 632) should be provided to be positioned lower than the lowest end of the inlet (621).

[0151] The drum (2), the exhaust path (31), the mounting space (32a), the connection path (34), and the supply path (35) form an air circulation path, and the drainage space (32b) and the water collecting unit (6) form a drainage path that discharges condensate generated during the drying process to the outside of the circulation path.

[0152] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the water supply pipe (116a) guides the condensate inside the water collection chamber (61) to the drain tank (7), and the recovery pipe (116b) guides the condensate exceeding the storage capacity of the drain tank (7) to the water collection chamber (61). That is, the water supply pipe (116a) and the recovery pipe (116b) are not fixed inside the cabinet (1) and occupy some space. Therefore, the water supply pipe (116a) and the recovery pipe (116b) may generate noise, such as by hitting the drum (2) or the like, due to vibrations generated when the clothing treatment device (100) operates.

[0153] To prevent this, a bracket (14) may be provided to fix at least one of the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b) to the fixed panel (131). However, it is preferable that the bracket (14) be provided so as to fix both the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b) to the fixed panel (131).

[0154] The above water supply pipe (116a) and the above recovery pipe (116b) are mostly provided between the drain tank housing (116) and the water collection chamber (61). That is, the above water supply pipe (116a) and the above recovery pipe (116b) are provided in the direction in which the drain tank housing (116) and the water collection chamber (61) are provided based on the center of the drum (2). Therefore, it is also preferable that the above bracket (14) is provided in the direction in which the drain tank housing (116) and the water collection chamber (61) are provided based on the center of the drum (2).

[0155] Assuming that the bracket (14) is provided to be able to fix both the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b), the bracket (14) may be provided with a certain space to accommodate the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b) and fix them to the fixing panel (131). At this time, it is preferable that the space be provided to be at least larger than the sum of the diameters of the water supply pipe (116a) and the diameters of the return pipe (116b).

[0156] In order for the bracket (14) to have the space, the bracket (14) may include a first bent portion (141) that provides a space for fixing at least one of the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b), a second bent portion (142) that is provided in a bent form with one end connected to the first bent portion, and a bracket fixing portion (143) that is inserted into a bracket receiving portion (137) to be described later to fix the bracket (14) to the fixing panel (131). However, the bracket (14) does not necessarily have to be provided in the form described above, and may be in any form as long as it can fix the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b) to the fixing panel (131).

[0157] As illustrated in Fig. 14, the second bend portion (142) may be provided with at least one corner having a rounded shape so that it can be accommodated within the bracket receiving portion (137). It is not necessary for all four corners of the second bend portion (142) to be provided with a rounded shape, and only some corners may be provided with a rounded shape so that the second bend portion (142) and the bracket receiving portion (137) do not interfere with each other.

[0158] The trimmed shape may include a shape with chamfered corners at a certain angle or a shape with rounded corners. That is, the corners may be provided in any shape as long as the second bending portion (142) does not interfere with the bracket receiving portion (137).

[0159] As shown in Fig. 13, the bracket fixing part (143) can be inserted into a bracket receiving groove (140) to be described later to fix the bracket (14) to the fixing panel (131).

[0160] The bracket fixing portion (143) is provided to protrude from the second bending portion (142) so that it can be inserted into the bracket receiving groove (140). In addition, the bracket fixing portion (143) and the bracket receiving groove (140) may be provided at the same position, and both configurations may be provided in multiples. In this case, it is preferable that the bracket fixing portion (143) and the bracket receiving groove (140) are arranged at equal intervals on both sides based on the center of the bracket (14). However, it is not necessary to provide in multiples, and it is also possible to provide in singles as long as the bracket (14) can be fixed to the fixing panel (131).

[0161] In order for the bracket fixing portion (143) to be inserted into the bracket receiving groove (140) so that the bracket (14) can be fixed to the fixing panel (131), the bracket fixing portion (143) may have a certain elasticity. Here, elasticity refers to a property of returning to its original state when the force is removed after being deformed by an external force. In addition, one end of the bracket fixing portion (143) may be connected to the second bending portion (142), and the other end may be provided in a shape that is trimmed at a certain angle.

[0162] That is, when the bracket fixing portion (143) is inserted into the bracket receiving groove (140), the bracket receiving groove (140) comes into contact with the trimmed shape portion of the bracket fixing portion (143), and as the bracket fixing portion (143) expands to both sides by elasticity, the bracket receiving groove (140) is seated in the groove between the second bending portion (142) and the bracket fixing portion (143). Accordingly, the bracket (14) is fixed to the fixing panel (131).

[0163] However, the bracket fixing part (143) may be provided in any shape as long as it can be inserted into the bracket receiving groove (140) and fixed to the fixing panel (131).

[0164] As illustrated in Fig. 12, the bracket receiving portion (137) may be provided on the fixed panel (131) in a bent form toward the outside of the cabinet (1). At this time, the bracket (14) may be fixed inside the bracket receiving portion (137).

[0165] Since the above bracket (14) is provided inside the bent portion of the above bracket receiving portion (137), the space that the bracket (14) occupies inside the above cabinet (1) can be minimized.

[0166] However, if the degree of bending becomes excessively large, the size of the rear panel (13) increases and the purpose of the bracket (14) may become diminished, so it is preferable that the bracket receiving portion (137) be bent to a size that can accommodate a portion of the bracket (14).

[0167] The bracket receiving portion (137) may be provided in various shapes, such as circular or rectangular, as long as it can accommodate the bracket (14). However, the bracket receiving portion (137) may be provided in various shapes as long as it does not interfere with the rear surface (23) of the drum. That is, the size of the bracket receiving portion (137) is provided to be larger than the bracket (14), but is limited to a size that does not interfere with the rear surface (23) of the drum.

[0168] The above bracket receiving groove (140) is provided inside the bracket receiving portion (137) and may be provided to fix the bracket (14) to the fixing panel (131).

[0169] The horizontal and vertical sizes of the bracket receiving groove (140) may be equal to or larger than the horizontal and vertical sizes of the bracket fixing portion (143). In addition, the bracket receiving groove (140) may be provided at the same position as the bracket fixing portion (143), and the number of the bracket receiving grooves (140) may be equal to the number of the bracket fixing portions (143).

[0170] As shown in Fig. 15, the brackets (14) may be provided in multiple pieces on the fixed panel (131).

[0171] The above bracket (14) is for fixing the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b) to the fixed panel (131), and may be provided in multiple numbers vertically based on the center of the drum (2). That is, if the bracket (14) is located only at either the upper or lower portion based on the center of the drum (2), the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b) are fixed only at either the upper or lower portion, and thus the effect of the bracket (14) to prevent noise generation cannot be exerted.

[0172] In addition, the bracket (14) may be provided on the same straight line on the fixed panel (131). The upper bracket (14) and the lower bracket (14) may be positioned on the same y-axis line based on the center of the drum (2). If they are not positioned on the same straight line, the water supply pipe (116a) and the return pipe (116b) may be fixed in a bent state on the fixed panel (131), which may hinder the movement of condensate.

[0173] As illustrated in Fig. 4, the drum shaft (25) can be coupled to the center of rotation of the drum (2) to rotatably support the drum (2). In addition, the shaft support member (132) can include a shaft through hole (133) into which the drum shaft (25) is inserted and a holder (135) that rotatably fixes the drum shaft (25).

[0174] At this time, the shaft support member (132) may be provided in a form that is bent toward the outside of the cabinet. This can increase the strength of the rear panel (13) when the garment treatment device (100) is in operation, thereby reducing the risk of the rear panel (13) being bent or broken.

[0175] The above-mentioned air supply hole (231) may be arranged to surround the shaft penetration hole (133), and may be provided with a plurality of penetration holes arranged at equal intervals. At this time, it is preferable that the plurality of air supply holes (231) be provided with the same shape to guide the air discharged from the heat exchange path (32) to the drum (2).

[0176] The protrusion (138) may be provided between the air inlets (231) and may be provided to protrude outward from the cabinet (1). The protrusion (138) may be provided in a protruding shape to increase the strength of the rear panel (13) when the garment treatment device (1) is in operation.

[0177] As the above protrusion (138) is provided with a plurality of the above-mentioned air supply holes (231), the above-mentioned protrusion (138) may also be provided with a plurality of the above-mentioned protrusions (138) and their shapes may also vary. However, when a plurality of the above-mentioned air supply holes (231) are provided with the same shape, the shapes of the above-mentioned protrusions (138) may also be provided with the same shape.

[0178] The shape of the above protrusion (138) is generally such that one of the horizontal or vertical directions is longer than the other direction. In addition, the above protrusion (138) may be provided so as to have a protruding shape that extends to the shaft support (132).

[0179] This is to further improve the strength of the rear panel (13) by providing a holder penetration hole (139) to accommodate the protrusion (138) described later.

[0180] As shown in Fig. 16, the holder (135) may have a holder through hole (139) to accommodate a protrusion (138) extending to the shaft support (132).

[0181] When the above-mentioned air inlets (231) are provided in multiple numbers, the above-mentioned protrusions (138) may also be provided in multiple numbers. In this case, the holder penetration holes (139) may also be provided in multiple numbers to accommodate the above-mentioned protrusions (138).

[0182] When the holder penetration hole (139) is provided in multiple numbers, it is possible to accommodate multiple protrusions (138), thereby increasing the strength of the rear panel (13) and enhancing durability compared to when the holder penetration hole (139) is provided in single numbers.

[0183] In the conventional clothing treatment device, the protrusion (138) is provided only in one of the horizontal or vertical directions with respect to the drum axis (25), and the holder penetration hole (139) can also be provided only in one of the horizontal or vertical directions.

[0184] However, the present invention may be provided with a plurality of protrusions (138) and may also be provided with a plurality of holder penetration holes (139). Accordingly, by additionally providing the holder penetration hole (139) to the holder (135), interference between the holder (135) and the protrusion (138) can be prevented.

[0185] At this time, it is preferable that the holder penetration holes (139) are provided in both horizontal and vertical directions. That is, it is preferable that the holder penetration holes (139) are provided in a cross shape that is a shape that crosses orthogonally.

[0186] The present invention may be implemented in various modified forms, and the scope of the invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments. Therefore, if a modified embodiment includes elements of the claims of the present invention, it should be considered to fall within the scope of the present invention.
