Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.

1 is a block diagram of a temporary example according to the present invention. First, an embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1.

The composite garment treatment system 100 according to the present invention may include a steam generator 10 and a plurality of garment treatment apparatuses 20, 30, and 40. Here, the clothes handling apparatus may be clothes handling apparatuses having the same clothes handling module, and each clothes handling module may be different clothes handling apparatuses.

In addition, the steam generator 10 is preferably provided in a specific clothes processing apparatus. 1 shows that the steam generator 10 is provided in the washing machine 20.

Washing machines equipped with such a steam generator are now widely used, and the washing efficiency is very high, so that the market continues to obtain a good response.

1, a washing machine 20, a dryer 30, and a refresher 40 are shown as clothes processing apparatuses. Of course, these clothes handling apparatuses may be other types of clothes handling apparatuses as described above, and may include more clothes handling apparatuses.

On the other hand, in the present specification, the function or structure of individual clothes processing apparatuses such as a washing machine, a dryer, a refresher, etc. will not be described in detail. Such functions and structures are obvious to those skilled in the art, and the present invention is not limited to these specific functions and structures. Therefore, even if any type of clothes treatment apparatus is applied will fall within the scope of the present invention as long as it includes the technical spirit of the present invention.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, a complex garment treatment system including a washing machine 20, a dryer 30, and a refresher 40 as a plurality of garment treatment apparatuses will be described as illustrated in FIG. 1.

The washing machine 20, the dryer 30, and the refresher 40 may be provided with steam to enhance the washing effect, to remove wrinkles, to prevent static electricity, to disinfect, or to remove smell of clothes.

Here, the steam supplied to the washing machine 20, the dryer 30, the refresher 40, etc. is supplied through a steam generator provided in any one clothing processing apparatus.

1 illustrates a form in which the washing machine 20 includes a controller 21 and a steam generator 10.

According to FIG. 1, the control unit 21 provided in the washing machine 20 controls the operations of the dryer 30 and the refresher 40 as well as the washing machine 20. That is, the dryer 30 and the refresher may include only a driving part driven under the control of the controller 21. Therefore, in this case, only the control line 50 through which the control signal can be transmitted is connected between the control unit 21, the dryer, and the refresher.

In addition, the controller 21 may drive the steam generator 10 as needed to provide the washing machine 20, the dryer 30, and the refresher 40.

Here, in general, when a washing machine having a steam generator is applied to the composite garment treatment system, a steam supply line 60 to be supplied to steam from the steam generator to the outside should be separately formed.

And, if the control unit 21 performs all the control of the complex garment treatment system it will not be necessary to provide a separate control unit in the dryer or refresher. Therefore, the user may use the composite clothes processing system in one stop through the control unit 21 provided in the washing machine 20.

Hereinafter, a second embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

The embodiment shown in FIG. 2 has the same configuration as the above-described embodiment, except that each of the clothes treating apparatuses without the steam generator 10 includes a separate controller. That is, when the steam generator 10 is provided in the washing machine 10, the dryer 30 is provided with the control unit 31 of the dryer, and the refresher 40 is provided with the control unit 41 of the refresher.

Here, each of the control units 21, 31, 41 controls the driving of each garment processing apparatus.

That is, the washing machine 20 has a separate control unit 21, the dryer 30 has a separate control unit 31, and the refresher also has a separate control unit 41. Therefore, the clothes processing apparatuses perform each clothes processing module through the individual controllers 21, 31, and 41.

For example, when steam is required in the dryer 30, the controller 31 of the dryer requests the controller 21 of the washing machine 20 to supply steam through the data transmission / reception means 50. In response to this request, the control unit 21 of the washing machine 20 controls the operation of the steam generator 10 to provide the necessary steam to the dryer. Of course, this steam is provided through the steam supply line (60).

Therefore, in the present embodiment, steam is supplied to each of the clothes treating apparatuses through the steam generator 10 provided in the specific clothes treating apparatus, for example, the washing machine 20.

Such control logic may be similarly applied to the case where the steam generator 10 is provided in the dryer 30, the refresher 40, or the like.

On the other hand, the data transmitting and receiving means 50 may be provided by a wired cable. The data transmitting and receiving means may include a wireless communication device (not shown) provided in the control unit 21 of the washing machine and a wireless communication device (not shown) provided in the control units 31 and 41 provided in the clothes processing device. In this case, transmission and reception of data may be performed wirelessly.

The matters related to wired / wireless transmission and reception of data are obvious to those skilled in the art, and thus, detailed descriptions are omitted herein.

The invention also comprises a steam supply line 60 for providing the steam generated in the steam generator to the garment treatment apparatus. The steam supply line may be formed between the steam generator 10 and the clothes treating apparatus, respectively.

In addition, the steam supply line is connected to the discharge port (not shown) of the steam generator 20, as shown in Figure 2, the branch for the steam basin 61 and the header 61 is branched to the clothes processing apparatus, respectively It may be made to include the steam branch pipes (62, 63). Here, the steam branch pipe is connected to the inlet (not shown) of each of the clothes processing apparatus so that steam is introduced into the clothes processing apparatus.

On the other hand, although not shown in Figure 2, the header 61, the steam branch pipes (62, 63), the discharge of the steam generator or the inlet of the clothes processing apparatus may be provided with a valve that can be selectively opened and closed. Thus, by controlling the opening and closing of these valves, it will be possible to provide steam only to the required clothes handling apparatus.

Next, a third embodiment according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3. 3 is a block diagram of a third embodiment according to the present invention.

Another embodiment according to the invention is characterized in that it further comprises a hot air generator 80 in the composite garment processing system in the embodiment according to the present invention described above. In other words, in the above-described embodiment, the steam generator 10 provided in the specific clothes processing apparatus is shared by each other clothes processing apparatuses, whereas the steam generator 10 is shared not only by the steam generator but also by the hot air generator.

In general, a dryer or washing and drying machine is provided with means for forcibly providing air for drying laundry. In this specific example, it is common to include a hot air generator.

The hot air generator 80 generally includes a fan (not shown) forcibly circulating air, a heater (not shown) for heating the air, and the like to dry the laundry by supplying hot air into the dryer. Here, the air discharged from the dryer, including water, may be immediately discharged to the outside, and may be circulated again after water is removed from the air through the condenser. The former is called exhaust and the latter is called condensation.

The heat source of the heater may be a gas burner or an electric heater. However, it is not limited thereto.

In this specification, details of such a specific dryer are not regarded as technical ideas, and thus detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted.

Meanwhile, as shown in FIG. 3, the present embodiment has the same configuration as the embodiment shown in FIG. 2. However, the present embodiment is different from that the hot air generator 80 is provided in a specific clothes processing apparatus of each clothes processing apparatus.

In FIG. 3, the hot air generator 80 is provided in the dryer 30, but the dryer may be a washing and drying machine capable of performing a laundry function in combination. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the steam generator 10 is not only shared by the plurality of clothes processing apparatuses but also the hot air generator 80 is also shared by the plurality of clothes processing apparatuses.

Here, as described above, the dryer 30 generally includes the hot air generator 80, and thus, it is possible to easily implement the complex garment treatment system according to the present embodiment without separately forming the hot air generator 80.

In addition, since the control logic in the present embodiment can be applied in the same manner as the above-described embodiment, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Here, the hot air does not necessarily mean hot air. In other words, it will be possible to supply air at room temperature.

The forced supply of such room temperature air or high temperature air may be used for drying or refreshing clothes.

Of course, in this case, it is preferable that a hot air supply line 70 is provided to supply hot air from the hot air generator 80 to each of the clothes treating apparatuses 20 and 40. That is, the hot air supply line 70 is preferably formed separately from the steam supply line 60 described above.

Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 4.

As shown in FIG. 4, the present embodiment has the same configuration as the embodiment shown in FIG. 3. However, the steam generator 10 and the hot air generator 80 are provided in a specific clothes treating apparatus, and they are shared with other clothes treating apparatuses.

That is, the steam generator 10 and the hot air generator 80 may be provided in the dryer 30 or the washing machine 20. For example, in the case where the washing machine 20 is provided, the washing machine 20 may be a washing and drying machine having both a steam washing function and a drying function.

Each clothing processing apparatus 20, 30, 40 performs its own clothing processing module through each of the control units 21, 31, and 41, and when the hot air or steam is required, the controller 21 controls the steam generator 10. And the operation of the hot air generator (80). And it supplies steam or hot air to the required clothing processing device.

Piping or control logic for such a supply is the same as described above, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

According to the present exemplary embodiment, the composite laundry treatment system may be easily implemented through a general washing and drying machine having a steam generator 10 and a hot air generator 80.

In addition, since the steam generator 10 and the hot air generator 180 are controlled through one control unit 21, it will be easy to prepare a control program.

On the other hand, since the details of the steam supply line 60 has been described in the above-described embodiment, the redundant description is omitted, and the description of the hot air supply line 70 is also the same, and thus the description thereof is omitted. Of course, the control method for opening and closing these lines 60 and 70 is also the same as described above, and will not be described.

In the above-described embodiments of the present invention, the circulation of the hot air through the hot air generator provided in the specific clothes treating apparatus may be an exhaust type or a condensation type.

That is, in the case of the exhaust type, the air supplied to each of the clothes treating apparatuses through the hot air supply line 70 is exhausted without being circulated to the hot air generator. In other words, the clothes are discharged to the outside or the outside through the discharge port of each clothing treatment apparatus. This is the same as the air flow path of the exhaust dryer.

In addition, in the case of the condensation type, the air supplied to each of the clothes treating apparatuses through the hot air supply line 70 is circulated back to the hot air generator. To this end, it is preferable that a separate hot air recovery line (not shown) is provided.

That is, when air is supplied to each of the clothes treating apparatuses through the hot air supply line 70, the air contains moisture in the clothes treating apparatus. The air containing the moisture is recovered through the hot air recovery line. It is necessary to remove the moisture in the air before supplying the recovered air again.

Therefore, in the case of a condensation type, it is preferable that a condenser (not shown) is further included. Water is condensed through the condenser, and the air from which the water has been removed is supplied to each of the clothes treating apparatuses through the hot air supply line 70.

Such a condensation type structure may be a preferable structure when it is difficult to form a discharge port through which air is discharged from the home or a laundry. That is, it is easy to install the exhaust structure in the room close to the outer wall of the building, but in the room near the center of the building it is preferable to install the discharge pipe of the air complex condensation method would be preferable.

Hereinafter, a steam generator that can be applied to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 5. 5 is a configuration diagram schematically illustrating the steam generator.

The composite garment treatment system according to the present invention preferably includes one steam generator 500. In addition, the steam generator 500 is preferably provided in a specific clothes processing apparatus of a plurality of clothes processing apparatus.

However, the amount of steam supplied from the steam generator is preferably variable. This is because steam may be simultaneously required in each of the clothes treating apparatuses connected to the steam generator, and only one clothes treating apparatus may need steam.

Therefore, it is desirable to be able to vary the amount of steam generated or the amount of steam supplied in response to the demand of the steam. This is also desirable in order to save energy and shorten the supply time of steam.

5 shows one embodiment of such a variable displacement steam generator.

As illustrated in FIG. 5, the steam generator 500 may include a plurality of chambers 520, 521, and 522. The volumes of the chambers may be different. In addition, heaters 530, 531, and 532 are built in the chamber, respectively. Of course, the capacity of the heaters may also be different.

In FIG. 5, a bulky chamber 520 and a large volume heater 530 are illustrated, and a small volume chamber 521 and 522 and a small volume heater 531 and 532 are illustrated.

For example, when the required amount of steam is the maximum, all the heaters are operated to generate steam. In the minimum, only one heater having a small capacity can be operated to generate steam. Therefore, the steam generation and supply amount can be varied according to the required steam amount.

Of course, the operation of these heaters is controlled by a control unit of the clothes processing apparatus equipped with the steam generator 500, and the control unit will receive data on the steam demand through the control units of the respective clothes processing apparatuses.

Meanwhile, steam outlets (not shown) may be formed in each of the chambers 530, 531, and 532, and steam discharged through the steam outlets may be provided to the respective clothes treating apparatuses through the steam supply line 560. .

Such a method of varying the steam capacity may be implemented in other forms. For example, the controller controls the amount of water supplied into the steam generator according to the steam demand, and accordingly, the heating value of one heater may be controlled or the number of heaters operated among the plurality of heaters may be controlled.

For example, in a steam generator provided with one chamber and a plurality of heaters, the maximum amount of water may be supplied and all the heaters may be operated when the steam capacity is maximum. Conversely, if the steam capacity is minimal, the minimum amount of water will be supplied and only a specific heater may be running.

On the other hand, in the case where only one heater is provided, the amount of heat generated by the heater may be controlled according to the steam demand, thereby changing the steam capacity.

In the present invention, the steam generator should be supplied with water for steam generation. Such a water source may be a general water pipe, and it may be possible for a user to directly supply water to the steam generator.

As such a water source, water pipes are not provided everywhere in the home. For example, it is usually only provided in a kitchen or bathroom. On the other hand, in such a place, the water tap of the said water pipe is limited, and the washing machine and water tap which use a lot of water are connected.

Therefore, in the present invention, since only one steam generator can be used, the shortage of such a water supply can be minimized.

On the other hand, even when there is no such water supply source, the user may directly supply water to the steam generator through a bucket. In this case, even when only one steam generator is supplied with water, steam can be supplied to other clothes processing devices, thereby minimizing user fatigue.

In addition, when the steam generator is provided in the washing machine, it is possible to use a faucet for supplying water to the washing machine, so it will not be necessary to secure a separate water supply source.

Hereinafter, the operation of the complex garment treatment system according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

Firstly, each of the garment processing apparatuses can be operated individually. That is, the washing machine may perform washing, the dryer may perform drying, and the refresher may perform refreshing. When steam is required during each operation, each controller requests supply of steam to a controller of a specific clothes processing apparatus equipped with a steam generator.

In response to the request, the control unit of the specific clothes treating apparatus generates steam by operating a heater of the steam generator. At this time, the control unit may control the amount of water for steam generation or control the capacity of the heater or the number of heaters operated. In other words, the steam generation and provisioning capacity may be varied according to the required steam amount.

And, the generated steam will be supplied to each of the clothes handling apparatus.

Therefore, according to the present invention, each garment treatment apparatus does not need to have a steam generator individually, which is effective in terms of cost. In addition, the incorporation of an efficient steam generator into each garment treatment device is limited in terms of product design. Therefore, this problem may be solved by placing a steam generator shared by each of the clothes treating apparatuses in a specific clothes treating apparatus.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide one complex garment treatment system in which each garment treatment apparatus is associated with each other and is easy to use. In other words, it is convenient to use in terms of space or clothing processing time.

In addition, according to the present invention is to provide a complex garment processing system including each of the clothes processing apparatus using steam and a steam generator for supplying steam to these clothes processing apparatus to facilitate a series of processing associated with the clothes There is.

In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a more effective steam and to save energy by providing a complex garment processing system including a steam generator capable of adjusting the steam supply capacity.

Meanwhile, according to the present invention, steam can be supplied to a plurality of clothes treating apparatuses through one steam generator, so that a user can minimize inconvenience caused by securing a water supply source for steam generation.

According to the present invention, a steam generator and a hot air generator for providing air, in particular hot air, to each of the clothes treating apparatuses are advantageous in that a series of treatments related to clothes can be conveniently performed.

Finally, there is an effect that can easily implement a complex garment treatment system using a conventional washing machine or dryer, such as a washing machine equipped with a steam generator or a dryer equipped with a hot air supply.
