The moving unit for a hanger of the present invention includes a guide rail 10 installed on a mounting panel 5 located above the hanger 100 , and a sliding guide rail 10 slidably installed on the guide rail 10 and connected to the hanger 100 . A module 20, a first moving means for moving the sliding module 20 in one direction, and a second moving means for moving the sliding module 20 moved by the first moving means in the other direction is provided. .

The guide rail 10 is installed on the mounting cover 7. The guide rail 10 is formed to be long left and right. In the illustrated example, the guide rails 10 are provided in a pair and are spaced apart from each other and installed side by side.

One side of the guide rail 10 is coupled to the fixing housing 9 installed on the top of the mounting cover 7, and the other side of the guide rail 10 is coupled to the fixing bracket 11 installed on the mounting cover 7.

The sliding module 20 is slidably installed on the guide rail 10.

The sliding module 20 includes a moving block 21 coupled to the guide rail 10, a connecting rod 23 connecting the moving block 21 and the hanger 100 through the base plate 6, and a moving block. It is provided with a rotary roller 25 installed to be rotatable in (21).

The moving block 21 is coupled to the guide rail 10 and positioned above the mounting cover 7. The moving block 21 is spaced apart from the mounting cover 7. Two insertion holes into which the guide rails 10 are inserted are formed in the moving block 21. The insertion hole is formed by penetrating the movable block 21 in the left-right direction.

The connecting rod 23 is coupled to the lower portion of the moving block 21. A square through hole 8a is formed in the base plate 6 so that the connecting rod 23 can penetrate the base plate 6. The left and right widths of the through holes 8a are formed larger than the left and right movement distances of the moving block 21. The lower portion of the connecting rod 23 coupled to the moving block 21 is connected to the hanger 100. Therefore, when the moving block 21 moves left and right, the hanger 100 also moves left and right. The hanger of the connecting rod

In order to stably support the movement of the hanger 100 when the hanger 100 moves from side to side, auxiliary connecting rods 29 are installed on each of the left and right sides of the hanger. A square auxiliary through-hole 8b is formed in the base plate 6 so that the auxiliary connecting rod 29 can pass through the base plate 6. The left and right widths of the auxiliary through holes 8b are formed larger than the left and right moving distances of the moving blocks.

A locking panel 28 is installed on the upper part of the auxiliary connecting rod 29. The front and rear lengths of the locking panel 28 are larger than the front and rear lengths of the auxiliary through-holes 8b. Therefore, the locking panel 28 is mounted on the base plate 6. When the sliding module 20 moves left and right, the locking panel 28 moves left and right together. A rolling roller in contact with the base plate 6 may be installed on the bottom of the locking panel 28.

The rotary roller 25 is installed to be rotatable on the moving block 21. A fixed shaft is installed on one side of the moving block 21, and a rotary roller 25 is rotatably installed on the fixed shaft.

The first moving means serves to move the sliding module 20 in one direction.

The first moving means transmits the rotational force of the motor 31 installed on the mounting cover 7, the rotation shaft 33 installed to be rotatable on the base plate 6, and the rotational force of the motor 31 to the rotation shaft 33. It is provided with a power transmission unit for, and an eccentric cam 35 for pushing the sliding module 20 in a direction away from the rotation shaft 33 is coupled eccentrically to the rotation shaft (33).

The motor 31 is installed on the top of the mounting cover 7. The motor 7 serves to transmit power to the rotating shaft 33 by a power transmission unit.

The rotation shaft 33 is installed on the base plate 6 and penetrates the fixed housing 9 to be exposed upward of the fixed housing 9.

The power transmission unit may transmit the rotational force of the motor 31 to the rotation shaft 33 in various ways.

As an example, the power transmission unit connects the drive pulley 41 coupled to the drive shaft of the motor 31, the driven pulley 43 coupled to the rotation shaft 33, and the drive pulley 41 and the driven pulley 43 And a tensioner 47 that adjusts the tension of the belt 45 by contacting the belt 45 and the belt 45.

The driving pulley 41 has a plurality of teeth formed on its outer circumferential surface. The driving pulley 41 has a smaller diameter than the driven pulley 43. The drive pulley 41 is coupled to an upper portion of the drive shaft of the motor 31.

The driven pulley 43 has a plurality of teeth formed on the outer circumferential surface. The driven pulley 43 has a larger diameter than the driving pulley 41. The driven pulley 43 is coupled to the upper portion of the rotation shaft 33.

On the other hand, it goes without saying that the power transmission unit can be implemented by a method of connecting a gear and a gear, a method of using a sprocket and a chain, etc.

The eccentric cam 35 is coupled to the rotation shaft 33. The eccentric cam 35 is located below the driven pulley 43. The eccentric cam 35 is eccentrically coupled to the rotation shaft 33. That is, the rotation shaft 33 is not located at the center of the eccentric cam 35, but is located off the center of the eccentric cam 35.

The eccentric cam 35 is in contact with the rotating roller 25. Therefore, when the eccentric cam 35 rotates, the rotary roller 25 moves in one direction while rotating. Here, one direction means a direction away from the rotation shaft 33.

As shown in FIG. 7 , when the eccentric cam 35 rotates counterclockwise in the state (a), the rotation radius of the eccentric cam 35 gradually increases and the rotation roller 25 is pushed away from the rotation shaft 33 pay Accordingly, the rotary roller 25 moves the maximum by the distance 'L' as shown in (b).

The second moving means moves the sliding module 20 moved by the first moving means in the other direction.

The second moving means includes an elastic member 50 having one side coupled to the sliding module 20 and the other side coupled to the mounting cover 7 to pull the sliding module 20 in a direction closer to the rotation shaft 33. .

While the eccentric cam 35 rotates 180° in the state of FIG. 7 (a), the eccentric cam 35 pushes the rotating roller 25 as the rotating radius increases, so that the sliding module moves away from the rotating shaft 33 Move. However, while the eccentric cam 35 rotates 180° in the state (b), the rotation radius decreases and the eccentric cam 35 is separated from the rotating roller. In this case, the elastic member moves the rotating roller to the original position by pulling the rotating roller in the direction of the rotating shaft.

A tension spring may be used as the elastic member 50. One side of the elastic member 50 is coupled to the first protrusion 51 formed on the moving block 21. And the other side of the elastic member 50 is coupled to the second protrusion 53 formed in the fixed housing (9). Due to the elastic force of the elastic member 50 generated when the moving block 21 moves away from the rotation shaft 33 by the eccentric cam 35, the moving block 21 moves in a direction closer to the rotation shaft 33 Return to the position. As this process is repeated, the moving block 21 reciprocates in the left and right direction.

In this way, when the movable block 21 reciprocates and the hanger 100 shakes the clothing from side to side, the effect of deodorizing, drying and removing wrinkles of the clothing is enhanced.

In the above-described embodiment, although the moving unit has been described as reciprocating the hanger left and right, it goes without saying that otherwise, the moving unit may reciprocate back and forth.

In the above, the present invention has been described with reference to an embodiment shown in the drawings, but this is only illustrative, and those of ordinary skill in the art will understand that various modifications and other equivalent embodiments are possible therefrom. will be. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the technical spirit of the appended claims.
