An auxiliary heater (not shown) may be installed at one side of 21 to spray water stored in the water storage tank 21 after a predetermined temperature is heated.

또한, 상기 물저장탱크(21)와 펌핑유니트(23) 및 분사노즐(22)은 본체(1)의 전방 상단부에 설치된 것으로 설명하였으나, 이들 구성요소들의 설치위치에 특별한 제한은 없다.In addition, the water storage tank 21, the pumping unit 23 and the injection nozzle 22 has been described as being installed in the front upper end of the body 1, there is no particular limitation on the installation position of these components.

그리고, 내부공기를 순환시키면서 습기를 제거하고 제거된 습기를 물방울 상태로 응축시키면서 건조행정을 수행하는 응축식 의류건조기에 상기와 같은 분사장치를 적용할 경우에는, 응축시 생성된 물을 저장하여 스팀분사에 이용할 수 있을 것이다.In addition, in the case of applying the above-mentioned injector to a condensation type clothes dryer that performs drying operation while removing moisture while condensing moisture in the air and condensing the removed moisture into a droplet state, water generated during condensation is stored and steamed. Will be available for injection.

이상에서와 같인 본 발명에 따르면, 건조가 완료되는 시점에 건조드럼 내부로 스팀이 분사되어 건조드럼 내부의 의류의 구김이 펴지면서 다림질 효과를 얻을 수 있게 되므로, 사용자는 건조과정 후 별도의 다림직 작업을 하지 않아도 되는 등 편의성이 향상되는 효과를 얻을 수 있다. According to the present invention as described above, the steam is injected into the drying drum at the time when drying is completed, so that the ironing effect can be obtained while the wrinkles of the clothing inside the drying drum is unfolded, the user has a separate iron weaving after the drying process It is possible to obtain an effect of improving convenience, such as not having to work.
