 Hereinafter, a multifunctional storage system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

 Terms such as front (X axis), rear (-X axis), right (Y axis), left (-Y axis), upward (Z axis), and downward (-Z axis) It will be appreciated that this is for illustrative purposes only and that the invention is not limited in that respect.

 Explanation of the structure of the multifunctional storage system

 The multifunctional housing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 5. Fig.

 The multifunctional housing system according to the present invention includes a housing chamber 100, a machine room 200, a recirculation module 300, a casing 500, and a door 600.

 The storage chamber 100 is a space in which clothes and the like are stored to remove contaminants and odorous substances. To this end, the inside of the compartment 100 may be heated to a high temperature, and then a natural humidifier may be circulated as circulating air. The details will be described later with respect to the operation mode.

 The circulating filter inlet / outlet 141, the circulating air outlet 142, and the functional material receiving portion 147 are located on the lower surface of the housing chamber 100.

 The cyclic filter detachable portion 129 is an opening provided to easily detach the cyclic filter unit 229 located in the machine room 200 for repair or replacement. The circulating air inlet 141 and the circulating air outlet 142 are openings in which the circulating air inside the compartment 100 flows in and out of the machine room 200, respectively.

The circulating air inlet 141 communicates with the fan unit 230 to discharge air from the machine room 200 toward the housing chamber 100. The circulating air outlet 142 communicates with the machine room 200).

The portion communicated with the circulating air inlet 141 in the housing chamber 100 is formed so as to be inclined upward so that air introduced from the circulating air inlet 141 flows upward from the bottom surface inside the housing chamber 100 And is discharged into the housing chamber 100 at a predetermined angle. Accordingly, the cleaning efficiency can be increased by contacting the circulating air discharged from the circulating air inlet 141 with the clothes or the like stored in the storage chamber 100 in a larger area than when the circulating air is discharged in the vertical direction.

 The functional material storage portion 147 is a space in which materials for adding functions such as clothing and the like contained in the storage room 100 are stored, for example, fragrance materials and the like And can be discharged to the storage chamber 100. Further, the functional material can be formed so as to be periodically fillable by the user.

 A recirculation module mounting portion 130 on which the recirculation module 300 is mounted is positioned inside the storage chamber 100. The recirculation module 300 may be provided with an air shot hanger (not shown) having an air shot function.

 Optionally, a hanger (not shown) may be located in the upper center of the inside of the compartment 100, and a pants hanger (not shown) may be further located on the left and right inner wall surfaces.

 The machine room 200 is a space for performing the air cleaning mode. In the garment management mode, the machine room 200 functions to circulate air by introducing air from the storage room 100, filtering the water, and then discharging the natural wet-

 The machine room 200 may be positioned in any direction with respect to the storage room 100, but is preferably located below the storage room 100. This is because the condensed water or the saturated moisture vaporizer condensed in the compartment 100 can be introduced into the machine room 200 by its own weight and discharged to the outside through the condensed water tank 280.

 The machine room 200 includes an intake port 210, a first flow path 220, a fan unit 230, a second flow path 240, an exhaust port 250, a dehumidifying portion 260, a supply water tank 270, 280).

 The intake port 210 is a portion for sucking the outside air into the machine room 200. It can be opened or closed depending on the choice. For example, it may be opened in the air clean mode and closed in the garment management mode. The position of the intake port 210 is preferably below the exhaust port 250 described later, and more preferably located at the lowermost end of the machine room 200. This is because it is preferable that the circulation flow path of the circulating air can be made more concise and the door 600 does not reach the intake port 210 because the intake port 210 is closed in the garment management mode.

 The clean filter unit 219 is located in the intake port 210, and the clean filter unit 219 can be located there. The clean filter unit 219 functions to filter the outside air sucked in the air cleaning mode, and may include, but is not limited to, a prefilter, a hepafilter, or the like.

 The first flow path 220 communicates with the intake port 210, the second flow path 230, and the fan unit 230. In the air clean mode, the outdoor air sucked and filtered by the intake port 210 and the circulating air sucked through the second flow path 230 in the garment management mode are introduced into the first flow path 220.

 A circulation filter unit 229 is located inside the first flow path 220. The circulation filter unit 229 can function to filter circulated air. The circulation filter unit 229 may include a humidifying filter. When the water stored in the supply water tank 270 is supplied to the humidifying filter, water is supplied during the circulating air passes through the humidifying filter, thereby forming a natural humidifier. The user can open the door 600 and access the circulation filter detachable portion 129 to remove or mount the circulation filter unit 229. [

 In another embodiment of the present invention, the tubing connecting the humidifying filter or the supply water tank 270 provided in the circulation filter unit 229 and the humidifying filter is heated, so that the temperature of the natural humidifier rises to a certain level, (Not shown). A separate heating member (not shown) may be used to apply heat, and heat generated during dehumidification by the dehumidifying unit 260 described later may be used.

 The inlet side of the fan unit 230 communicates with the first flow path 220 and provides power to draw air into the first flow path 220. The outside air is drawn into the first flow path 220 in the air cleaning mode by the operation of the fan unit 230 and the air inside the compartment 100 is sucked into the first flow path 220 as circulated air in the clothes management mode. The discharge side of the fan unit 230 communicates with the second flow path 240. The exhaust port 250 is positioned above the intake port 210 and the second chamber 240 is communicated with the exhaust port 250 and the storage chamber 100 as the storage chamber 100 is positioned above the machine room 200. [ (240) may be positioned above the fan unit (230) and the first flow path (220).

 The second flow path 240 is supplied with outdoor air or circulated air filtered from the fan unit 230. The second flow path 240 selectively communicates with any one of the compartment 100 and the exhaust port 250 and includes a first flow path switching member 241 and a second flow path switching member 242 for controlling the same . The first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 are paired and operated to change the flow path. In one embodiment, the first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 may be members that pivot about the axis, but any mechanism for selectively changing the flow path may be employed.

 The first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 are configured such that the second flow path 240 is shut off from the housing chamber 100 and communicated with the exhaust port 250 in the air cleaning mode 7). In the garment management mode, the second flow path 240 communicates with the storage chamber 100 and is blocked from the exhaust port 250 (see FIG. 6). That is, in the garment management mode, the circulating air of the second flow path 240 flows into the storage room 100 through the circulation air inlet 141 located above the first flow path switching member 241, Circulates through the circulating air outlet 142 located on the upper side of the second flow path switching member 242 to the second flow path 240 again. Details will be described later in the operation mode.

 The air outlet 250 receives the outside air filtered from the second flow path 240 and discharges the air outside. An exhaust door 650 is located outside the door 600 corresponding to the exhaust port 250 so that the exhaust port 250 can be opened and closed. For example, in the air cleaning mode, the exhaust door 650 is opened, the outside air filtered from the exhaust port 250 is discharged, and the exhaust door 650 can be closed in the clothes management mode.

 The dehumidifier 260 functions to dehumidify the circulating air flowing through the compartment 100. The dehumidification must be carried out to keep the inside of the compartment 100 and the circulating air comfortably and to prevent re-contamination. It is possible to dehumidify the circulating air in the compartment 100 or to dehumidify the circulating air that has flowed from the compartment 100 to the machine room 200. The dehumidifying portion 260 may be, for example, a heat pump, but is not limited thereto. Heat may be generated in the process of dehumidifying by the dehumidifying unit 260. Such heat can be used in the clothes management mode without being discarded (indicated by the dashed line in FIGS. 5 to 7). For example, after the storage chamber 100 is heated to about 50 to 70 degrees Celsius by using the heat generated in the process of dehumidifying the dehumidifier 260, the circulation air is introduced from the second flow path 240 through the circulation air inlet 141 The circulating air at room temperature can be introduced to remove contaminants or odorous substances such as clothes. For example, as described above, the heat generated in the process of dehumidifying the dehumidifying part 260 may be supplied to the humidifying filter of the circulating filter unit 229, or may be supplied to the tubing connecting the supply water tank 270 and the humidifying filter And may also heat the natural wetting device functioning as a circulating air. The above-mentioned temperature is an example, and it goes without saying that the temperature can be variously changed. Also, the dehumidifying portion 260 and the circulating filter unit 229 (i.e., the humidifying filter) may be selectively operated so that they are not interfered with each other.

 In another embodiment of the present invention, heat generated in the dehumidifying process of the fan unit 230 and the dehumidifying unit 260 is used in the clothes management mode, or hot air is generated by a separate heating member (not shown) And may be formed to be discharged to the storage chamber 100. The circulating air is supplied with moisture by the circulation filter unit 229 to be described later, and becomes a natural humidifier, which can remove deodorization and contamination of clothes stored in the housing by being combined with the hot air supplied by the fan unit 230. To this end, the dehumidifying portion 260 or a separate heating element (not shown) may be positioned adjacent to the circulating air inlet 141. In addition, the amount of the natural wet seasoner and the amount of the hot wind can be controlled by the user, and the optimized control method can be provided in a separate mode according to the type and material of the clothes to be housed.

 In another embodiment of the present invention, a total circulation mode in which the machine room 200 communicates with both the outside air and the storage room 100 and a total shutoff mode in which the machine room 200 is blocked from both the outside air and the storage room 100 Which will be described later.

 The supply water tank 270 stores water to be supplied to the humidifying filter provided in the circulation filter unit 229. To this end, a tubing is connected to the circulation filter unit 229. The condensate reservoir 280 collects condensed water generated in the compartment 100 and stores the condensed water or the saturated humidifier generated in the compartment 100 communicates with the first flow path 220 or the second flow path 240 of the machine room 200, And collects and stores the condensed water generated during the condensation process. To this end, tubular connection is made to the compartment 100 and / or the first flow path 220 and / or the second flow path 220.

 In order to fill the water or abandon the filled condensate, it is desirable that both the user's supply water tank 270 and the condensate water tank 280 are easily accessible. It is preferable that the supply water tank 270 and the condensed water tank 280 are located at the front of the machine room 200. The user opens the door 600 and uses the handles located in the respective water tanks below the exhaust port 250 So that they can be easily removed.

 The recirculation module 300 serves to recirculate the circulating air in the compartment 100 in the air cleaning mode, while also functioning to help direct drying of clothing and the like. In addition, since the machine room 200 operates independently of whether the machine room 200 is operated, the clothes or the like stored in the storage room 100 may first be operated for hairiness.

 The casing 500 forms the appearance of the multifunctional housing system.

 The door 600 forms a front surface of the multifunctional storage system, and the user can open the door 600 to approach the inside of the storage chamber 100. When the user opens the door 600, the inside of the storage chamber 100 is exposed in the storage chamber 100 and the exhaust port 250, the supply water tank 270, and the condensed water tank 280 in the machine room 200, Is revealed. However, the door 600 does not cover the air inlet 210. And the lowermost end of the door 600 is located above the intake port 210. [ The air cleaning is performed even if the door 600 is not opened in the air cleaning mode.

 A control unit 610 and an exhaust door 650 are disposed on an outer surface of the door 600. The control unit 610 includes an input unit through which a user can select an operation mode and an output unit capable of outputting a current operation state. The exhaust door 650 is communicated with the exhaust port 250 of the machine room 200 so that the exhaust door 650 is opened only in the air clean mode without opening the door 600 to discharge the filtered outdoor air.

 The door 600 is preferably made of a half-mirror. It is possible to show the clothes or the like located inside the storage room 100 as it is to the user when necessary and also to provide convenience to the user who took the clothes and the like out of the storage room 100 by performing the mirror function in some cases.

 Description of the operating mode of the multifunctional storage system

 The operation modes of the multifunctional housing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 7. Fig.

 First, the 'garment management mode' will be explained. Please refer to Fig.

 The garment management mode is a mode for removing contaminants or odor substances from the clothes or the like located inside the compartment 100. [ By circulating the natural wetting agent in the circulating air, the inside of the housing chamber 100 is brought into a humid environment, and contaminants or odorous substances such as clothing are removed together with the humidifier, and they are introduced into the machine room 200 and discharged as condensed water. In this process, the dehumidifier 260 performs dehumidification of the circulating air flowing through the compartment 100. Alternatively, the interior of the compartment 100 may be heated using heat generated in the dehumidifier 260.

 When the user selects the clothes management mode, the exhaust door 650 of the door 600 is closed and the intake port 210 is also closed. That is, in the garment management mode, air in the storage room 100 is not substantially discharged to the outside.

 The dehumidifier 260 dehumidifies the circulating air flowing through the compartment 100. Alternatively, the heat generated in this process may heat the interior of the compartment 100, and the temperature may be 50 to 70 degrees Celsius, but is not limited thereto. The first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 of the machine room 200 are operated to communicate the second flow path 240 with the housing chamber 100 and the first flow path 220, . The water in the supply water tank 270 is supplied to the humidifying filter provided in the circulation filter unit 229 so that moisture can be absorbed. In this process, water supplied to the humidifying filter or the humidifying filter may be heated by heat generated in the dehumidifying unit 260 or a separate heating member (not shown).

 At the same time as dehumidification or after dehumidification, the fan unit 230 operates. The air in the storage chamber 100 flows into the second flow path 240 through the circulation air outlet 142 and then flows into the first flow path 220 to flow into the fan unit 230 ). In this process, the air passes through the humidifying filter of the circulating filter unit 229 and becomes a natural wetting agent. Which is again supplied to the storage chamber 100 through the circulation air inlet 141 through the second flow path 240.

 As the process is repeated, the circulating air circulates continuously between the housing chamber 100 and the machine room 200. The circulating air includes contaminants or odor substances in the compartment 100, which are not discharged to the outside, thus providing a comfortable environment for the user. At the same time, once the circulating air including pollutants or odor substances flows into the machine room 200, the air is filtered in the circulating filter unit 229, condensed by the condensed water, and separately collected in the condensed water tank 280, It is preferable that the material is not re-contaminated with the malodorous material.

 On the other hand, in the garment management mode, hot air can be generated by the fan unit 230 and the dehumidifying unit 260 or another heating member (not shown) and can be discharged to the compartment 100, 100), and the hot air is discharged to the storage room 100 after the discharge of the natural wetness machine is stopped.

 The recirculation module 300 helps circulation of the circulating air. The recirculation module 300 recirculates the circulating air on the upper side of the accommodating chamber 100, so that the convection phenomenon can be smoothly performed throughout the accommodating chamber 100.

 In another embodiment of the present invention, only the functions of the dust hairs such as clothes placed in the compartment 100 may be realized, since the mechanisms inside the machine room 200 do not operate and only the recirculation module 300 operates.

 Next, the 'air cleaning mode' will be described. See FIG.

 The air cleaning mode is a mode for performing a function of operating only the machine room 200 independently of the storage room 100 to clean the outside air. In other words, clean clothes or the like may be placed inside the storage room 100 in a state where the outside air is contaminated, so that no outside air is introduced into the storage room 100.

 When the user selects the air cleaning mode, the exhaust door 650 of the door 600 is opened and the intake port 210 is also opened.

 The first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 of the machine room 200 operate so that the second flow path 240 is communicated with the exhaust port 250 and the storage chamber 100 and the first flow path 220 . In this process, the storage chamber 100 becomes an independent space with the machine room 200.

 The fan unit 230 operates. By the operation of the fan unit 230, the outside air flows into the first flow path 220 through the intake port 210 and is directed to the fan unit 230. In the process of passing through the intake port 210, the outside air is filtered by the clean filter unit 219 located at the intake port 210. It can be further filtered by the circulation filter unit 229 located in the first flow path 220 in the process of passing through the first flow path 220. At this time, the humidifying filter located in the circulation filter unit 229 may or may not perform the humidification function depending on the user's selection. If the outside air is humidified, the supply water tank 270 supplies water to the humidifying filter similarly to the clothes management mode. The filtered outside air having passed through the fan unit 230 passes through the second flow path 240 and is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust port 250.

 As this process is repeated, the multifunctional storage system according to the present invention performs a function of an air purifier. The outside air continuously flows into the machine room 200 and is filtered, and the filtered air is continuously exhausted.

 It is preferable that the air cleaning mode can be performed irrespective of whether the user opens the door 600 or not. Even during the air cleaning mode operation, the user can freely open the door 600 to position the clothes or the like inside the compartment 100, or take out the clothes and the like. The supply water tank 270 can be filled with water at any time and the water in the condensate water tank 280 can be discharged. The opening of the door 600 does not affect the operation of the air purifying mode because the door 600 does not cover the air inlet 210 and the air outlet 250 is opened inside the door 600.

 The user can check whether the exhaust door 650 is opened even in a position far from the multifunctional housing system, that is, at a position where the control unit 610 is not easily visible, and if the user is operating in the air cleaning mode or in the garment management mode Can be confirmed.

 Even if the filter is contaminated by continuous operation of the air cleaning mode or the garment management mode, the user can easily replace the filter. In the case of the clean filter unit 219, it can be replaced by reaching the air inlet 210 below the door 600. In the case of the recirculating filter unit 229, the door 600 can be opened and replaced using the recirculating filter detachable part 129.

 In another embodiment of the multifunctional storage system according to the present invention, in addition to the clothes management mode and the air cleaning mode described above, the multifunctional storage system further includes a total circulation mode and a total cutoff mode.

 First, the total circulation mode is a mode in which the clean filter unit 219 provided in the machine room 200 communicates with the outside air of the multifunction storage system as well as the storage chamber 100. Air inside the compartment 100 is filtered and filtered by the clean filter unit 219 as well as outside air of the multifunctional storage system. This circulation mode is advantageous when the indoor air (i.e., outside air) and the indoor air quality in the compartment 100 are not too bad, and the air is circulated and cleaned quickly.

 The total cutoff mode is a mode in which the machine room 200 is not in communication with the outside room of the multifunctional housing system as well as the compartment 100 as opposed to the entire circulation mode. For example, when the performance of the clean filter unit 219 deteriorates and replacement is required, or when the inside of the compartment chamber 100 and the filtration of the room air are not particularly required, or when only preheating of the machine room 200 is required, Do.

While the present invention has been described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims.
