Description

Laundry Treatment Apparatus}

This application relates to a laundry treatment device.

A clothes handling device refers to a device developed to wash and dry clothes at home or at a laundromat and remove wrinkles from clothes. Laundry handling devices are classified as washing machines that wash clothes, dryers that dry clothes, washer/dryers that have both washing and drying functions, clothes care devices that refresh clothes, and wrinkle removal devices that remove wrinkles from clothes. It is a concept including a steamer and the like.

Particularly, the clothes management device is a device for keeping clothes clean. The clothes care machine can shake off fine dust attached to clothes, deodorize clothes, dry clothes, and add fragrance to clothes. In addition, generation of static electricity can be prevented and wrinkles generated in clothes can be removed using dehumidified air or steam, and clothes can be sterilized and disinfected.

Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 10-2014-0108454 discloses a conventional laundry treatment device. That is, in the case of a typical laundry treatment apparatus, a treatment chamber for accommodating clothes and managing them using steam and hot air is formed inside a cabinet, and hanger bars for holding clothes are disposed on the left and right sides of the treatment chamber. A machine room including mechanical devices necessary for managing clothes is located at the lower part of the processing room, and hot air and steam may be supplied to the processing room. Also, when clothes are hung on the hanger bar using hangers, the clothes may be arranged in the front and rear directions of the cabinet.

However, the clothes handling apparatus having the above structure is a device focused on simply managing clothes. Therefore, there is no separate space for displaying or storing clothes inside. If the front surface of the door is made of a transparent material so that the user can check the clothes placed inside, the insulation performance through the front surface of the door is poor, making it difficult to achieve the purpose of managing clothes.

In addition, since the hanger bar only moves left and right from a fixed position, it may be inconvenient for the user to have to stretch out his/her arm to the inside of the treatment room to hold the clothes when placing the clothes.

In addition, as clothing and accessories of various materials are developed, a space for separately storing and displaying clothes that require delicate management, such as leather products or silk products, or normal temperature and humidity to store and display accessories such as bags and hats You may need a separate space that can be adjusted.

Korean Patent Laid-open Publication No. 10-2019-0141286 discloses a laundry treatment apparatus including a treatment room for accommodating and managing clothes and a separate storage room for storing managed clothes and controlling temperature. However, there is a problem in that the processing room and the storage room are disposed left and right, so that the laundry treatment device occupies a large volume in the room. In addition, since the air conditioner for the storage room is not provided separately, but is used in connection with the air conditioner for the processing room, there is a problem in that independent temperature and humidity control for only clothes stored in the storage room is not performed while the processing room is in use.

On the other hand, considering the use environment in which the laundry treatment apparatus is used, the size of the laundry treatment apparatus has no choice but to consider the standard size of furniture such as a general closet. This is because, in the case of the clothes handling apparatus, it is disposed adjacent to the closet like a closet, rather than being disposed separately from the closet indoors. Therefore, in the case where the display space or exhibition space is simply combined with the front of the laundry treatment apparatus, the front surface of the laundry treatment apparatus protrudes forward as much as the display space, compared to other adjacent pieces of furniture, thereby damaging a sense of unity.

On the other hand, if a portion of the processing room is allocated in the processing room accommodating clothes for the display space, the space of the processing room becomes smaller, and thus the internal structure, such as the arrangement direction of the hanger bar and the air circulation direction, may need to be changed.
