DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Reference will be made in detail to preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Where possible, the same reference numerals will be used in the drawings to refer to the same or similar elements.

Below, the present invention will be described using a laundry treating apparatus including both a first treating apparatus T and a second treating apparatus L.

The first processing device T in accordance with the present invention may include a casing 1 forming an appearance, a tub (not shown) located in the casing 1 for containing washing water, a drum (not shown) rotatably mounted in the tub , for containing laundry, a water supplying unit (not shown) for supplying washing water to the tank and a drainage unit (not shown) for draining the washing water contained in the tank to the outside of the casing 1.

The casing 1 of the first processing device includes a loading hole (not shown) through which laundry is loaded into the casing 1 or unloaded from the casing 1. The loading opening of the first processing device is opened and closed by the door 11 of the first processing device, hinged to the casing 1 first processing device.

The tank of the first processing device includes a loading hole in communication with the loading opening of the first processing device, and thus, the user can load laundry into the drum of the first processing device after opening the door 11 of the first processing device.

When the first processing device T is also intended to carry out the function of drying the laundry, the casing 1 of the first processing device must comprise a hot air supply device (not shown) for supplying hot air to the tank of the first processing device.

A device for supplying hot air (not shown) may include a circulation channel for circulating air in the tank of the first processing device and a heat exchange device located on the circulation channel for removing moisture and heating the air leaving the tank of the first processing device.

Alternatively, a device for supplying hot air (not shown) may also include an exhaust channel for discharging air from the tank of the first processing device to the outside of the casing 1 of the first processing device, a supply channel for supplying air from the outside of the casing 1 of the first devices for processing into the tank of the first processing device and a heat exchange device located on the feed channel.

In contrast to the aforementioned structure, if the first processing device T is intended to perform a laundry drying function, a tank may not be required for the first processing device. In this case, the hot air supply device must supply hot air to the drum of the first processing device located in the casing 1 of the first processing device.

The second processing device L included in the laundry treatment device in accordance with the present invention includes a casing 2 arranged to detach on the casing 1 of the first processing device, a drawer 3 located in the casing 2, which can be pulled out of it and a receiving unit 4-5 located in the drawer 3 and serving as a laundry processing compartment.

The casing 2, which forms the appearance of the second processing device L, may support the casing 1 of the first processing device. Unlike the casing shown in FIG. 1, a casing 2 located on the second processing device may be detachably disposed on an upper surface or side surface of the casing 1 of the first processing device.

However, since the height of the door 11 of the first processing device is increased when the second processing device L is located under the first processing device T, it is convenient for the user to load laundry into the processing device or to unload the laundry from the processing device.

The casing 2 includes an open surface 21, so that the drawer 3 extends from the casing 2 or slides into the casing 2 through the open surface 21. When the second processing device L is located on the lower surface of the first processing device T, the open surface 21 is preferably located on the side (front side of the first processing device T) on which the door 11 of the first processing device is located.

As shown in FIG. 2, the box 3 includes a cabinet 31 having an open upper surface and a lid 35 located on an open upper surface of the cabinet 31.

The box body 31 may be made in a hexagonal shape having a cavity formed therein. The box cover 35 is fixed to the box body 31 to form an upper surface of the box body 31.

The box body 31 comprises a panel 33 on its front surface. The box panel 33 may include a handle (not shown). In this case, the user can slide the cabinet body 31 located in the housing 2 from the housing 2 using the handle.

The drawer panel 33 may include a control panel 331 for controlling the operation of the second processing device L. The control panel 331 is used to provide input of user control commands for controlling units for supplying washing water to a receiving unit 4-5 and draining water for washing from a receiving unit 4-5, a unit for rotating laundry, units for supplying steam or hot air to the laundry and the like.

The control panel 331 may also serve to provide the user with verification of control commands entered by the user, and displaying the execution status of control commands entered by the user.

The lid 35 of the drawer may include a loading hole 353 formed in the lid 35 of the drawer for communicating the inside of the casing 31 of the drawer with the outside of the casing 31 of the drawer, and an opening 355 for supplying water formed in the lid 35 of the drawer to direct washing water to the receiving unit 4-5.

The receiving unit 4-5 located in the drawer 3 may include a tub 4 located in the housing 31 of the drawer to provide a compartment for holding laundry, and a drum 5 rotatably mounted in the tub 4 for holding laundry.

The tank 4 may include a tank body 41 having a washing water storage compartment and having an open upper surface, and a lid 43 fixed to the upper surface of the tank body 41. The drum 5 may be made in cylindrical form having an open upper surface.

As shown in FIG. 3, the drum 5 can rotate in the tank body 41 with a drive unit located on the outside of the tank body 41. The drive unit may include a stator M1 mounted on the tank body 41 to generate a rotating magnetic field, a rotor M2 that rotates under the action of a rotating magnetic field, and a drive shaft M3 passing through the tank body 41 and connecting the drum 5 to the rotor M2.

The drum 5 includes through holes 51 formed on its outer peripheral surface for communicating the inside of the drum 5 with the inside of the tank body 41.

The housing 41 of the tank is fixed in the housing 31 of the box using the supports D of the tank.

Each of the tank supports D may include a connecting section D1 of the box, a connecting section D3 of the tank and a rod D5 connecting the connecting section D3 of the tank to the connecting section D1 of the box.

Here, the box body 31 may include a first bracket 311 for supporting the box connecting portion D1, and the tank body 41 may comprise on its outer peripheral surface a second bracket 411 supported by the tank connecting portion D3.

The first bracket 311 may be located on the box body 31, and the second bracket 411 may protrude to the inner surface of the box body 31 from the outer peripheral surface of the tank body 41.

The lid 43 of the tank includes a housing 431 of the lid forming the upper surface of the housing 41 of the tank, and a loading hole 435 of the tank formed in the housing 431 of the lid, for communication of the loading hole 353 with the drum 5.

The tank feed opening 435 includes a door 49 pivotally connected to the lid body 431.

The door 49 is connected to the housing 431 of the cover using a hinge (not shown). The feed opening 353 is located above the tank feed opening 435. The door 49 or the tank inlet 435 is smaller than the size of the inlet 353. Accordingly, even if the tank inlet 435 is located under the box cover 35, the tank inlet 435 can open and close with the door 49.

In particular, the outer peripheral surface of the door is preferably located at predetermined distances X1 and X2 from the inner peripheral surface of the loading hole 353 in order to avoid the problem that the door 49 cannot open due to interference between the door 49 and the loading hole 353 caused by the geometric tolerance shape or positional tolerance.

The door 49 may include a handle 493 that locks the door 49 detachably with a box lid 35 or a lid body 431.

The door 49 may include a sealing assembly 495 to prevent leakage of washing water through the tank inlet 435.

The sealing assembly 495 may include a sealing element 496 mounted on the bottom surface of the door 49, which is inserted into the tank loading opening 435 after closing the tank loading opening 435, and first and second protrusions 497 and 498 protruding from the sealing element 496.

The first protrusion 497 protrudes to the inner peripheral surface of the tank inlet 435 from the outer peripheral surface of the sealing element 496. The first protrusion 497 preferably has a length sufficient to contact the inner peripheral surface of the tank inlet 435 when the door 49 closes the tank inlet 435.

The first protrusion 497 may include two or more protrusions located on the sealing element 496. Two or more first protrusions 497 may be located at a predetermined distance from each other.

The second protrusion 498 may protrude from the outer peripheral surface of the sealing member 496 to close the tank inlet 435 when closing the tank inlet 435 with the door 49. In other words, the second protrusion 498 must be long enough to contact the top surface of the lid body 431 when closing the inlet 435 tank door 49.

Although the sealing assembly 495 can be made of any materials, provided that it can seal the tank filling opening 435 by closing the tank filling opening 435 with the door 49, as an example, the sealing assembly 495 may be made of an elastic material such as rubber.

As shown in FIG. 4, the lid body 431, which forms the upper surface of the tank body 41, includes a mounting rib 439 mounted on the inner peripheral surface of the tank body 41. The installation rib 439 may include an inclined portion 4391 for directing washing water from the tank body 31 to the drum 5.

The drum 5, located in the housing 41 of the tank, is made in a cylindrical shape having an open upper surface. The drum 5 includes through holes 51, which are formed on its outer peripheral surface, for communicating the inside of the drum 5 with the inside of the tank body 41.

In this embodiment, when the drum 5 rotates, the washing water contained in the tank body 41 can rise toward the tank cover 43 from the bottom surface of the tank body 41 when rotated along the inner peripheral surface of the tank body 41. In this case, the inclined section 4391 serves to direct washing water moving to the tank cover 43 from the lower surface of the tank body 41 to the upper surface of the drum 5.

When re-supplying the washing water to the drum 5 through the upper surface of the drum 5, the washing water may hit the laundry contained in the drum 5. Therefore, the present invention can improve the washing efficiency due to the inclined portion 4391.

The lid body 431 includes a through hole 438, which is located under the water supply hole 355 formed on the drawer 3, for guiding the washing water supplied to the water supply hole 355 to the drum 5.

Since the tank 4 is fixedly located in the box 3, the position of the through hole 438 is theoretically considered to be stationary under the water supply hole 355 (it is believed that relative movement between the through hole and the water supply hole does not occur). Accordingly, it is also possible to supply washing water, which is supplied to the water supply opening 355 through a pipe connected between the through-hole 438 and the water supply opening 355, to the tank 4. The pipe which is connected between the through-hole 438 and the water supply opening 355 may have a flexible hose or bellows hose or may be made of an elastic material.

In this case, the water supply pipe 77 preferably has an elastic or flexible structure in at least one portion thereof. A portion of the water supply pipe 77, which has a flexible or elastic construction, can be located between the through hole 438 and the lid 35 of the box (the upper surface of the box).

However, the pipe connected between the through hole 438 and the water supply hole 355 may vibrate when the vibration generated during rotation of the drum 5 is transmitted to the tank body 41. In this case, it is necessary to consider the problems associated with the fact that the service life of the pipe is reduced, or it is necessary to choose a design to reduce vibration of the pipe. Accordingly, it will be more preferable that the washing water is supplied to the tub 4 by positioning the through hole 438 below the water supply hole 355 without using an intermediate member connected between the through hole 438 and the water supply hole 355.

Moreover, provided that there is no pipe connected between the through hole 438 and the water supply hole 355 when supplying hot water to the tank body 41 or supplying steam to the tank body 41 from a steam generation device (not shown), there is a problem that moisture (water, steam, fog, etc.) from the tank 41 passes into the casing 2 through the through hole 438.

Specifically, when moisture or heat from the tank 41 passes into the casing 2 through the through hole 438, the washing efficiency may deteriorate, and devices (electronic devices) located in the casing 2 may fail or rust. Accordingly, the laundry treating device according to the present invention may further include a discharge unit to minimize moisture that exits the tub 41 to the casing 2 through the through hole 438.

As shown in FIG. 5, the outlet unit 45 included in the laundry treating device according to the present invention may include a first outlet portion 451 located on the drawer cover 35 and in contact with moisture coming out of the through hole 438, and a second outlet portion 453 for directing moisture supplied from the first outlet portion 451 to the through hole 438.

The second outlet portion 453 may include a outlet element 454 protruding to the first outlet portion 451 from the upper surface of the tank cap 43, a through hole 456 formed in the outlet element 454 and in communication with the through hole 438.

The first outlet portion 451 may be in any form, provided that it can direct moisture exiting from the through hole 438 to the second outlet portion 453.

Specifically, the first outlet portion 451 in accordance with the present invention may be in the form of a flat or curved plate protruding to the second outlet portion 453 from the box lid 35, and may also be in the form of a hollow rod having an open surface facing the second outlet parts 453.

When the first outlet portion 451 is in the form of a hollow rod, the hollow rod can be made in various ways. In FIG. 5 shows an embodiment in which the hollow rod is cylindrical.

When the first outlet portion 451 is in the form of a flat plate, the first outlet portion 451 is preferably located in the through hole 456 of the outlet element.

In other words, when the first outlet portion 451 includes a plurality of plates, the plurality of plates should be located in a region that is formed by a protrusion of the through hole 456 to the lid 35 of the drawer (an area of the protrusion of the through hole) to supply moisture (water or condensate) that passes a second outlet portion 453 from the plurality of plates into the through hole 438 through the through hole 456 of the element.

Moreover, when the first outlet portion 451 includes a plurality of hollow rods, the hollow rods should be located in the protrusion region of the through hole.

Specifically, when a plurality of hollow rods are made with the same center, the hollow rod having the largest surface area should be located in the protrusion region of the through hole. However, when the plurality of hollow rods is not made with the same center, the region formed by the plurality of hollow rods should be located in the protrusion region of the through hole.

The first outlet portion 451 preferably does not interfere with the water supply opening 355, regardless of the shape of the first outlet portion 451. Furthermore, the free ends of the first outlet portion 451 preferably do not interfere with the free end of the outlet element 454.

This prevents the problem that the first exhaust portion 451 collides with the exhaust element 454 due to vibration transmitted to the tank body 41 during the rotation of the drum 5, and thus the first exhaust portion 451 or the second exhaust portion 453 is damaged.

The first outlet portion 451 may be made of any material, provided that the first outlet portion 451 is formed by means for preventing the passage of water leaving the tank 4 into the box 3 (for directing the water leaving the tank 4 to the second outlet portion 453).

When the first outlet portion 451 is formed by means for condensing moisture leaving the tank (heat exchange with moisture leaving the tank 4) and directing condensate to the second outlet portion 453, the first outlet portion 451 is preferably made of a metal material. In this case, the second outlet portion 453 may be made of an elastic material.

The outlet unit 45 in accordance with the present invention may further include the following elements to increase the allocated amount and the condensed amount of moisture.

Specifically, the tank cap 43 may further include a receiving recess 437 formed on the cap body 431, which is concave, and on which the through hole 438 is located. The second outlet portion 453 may further include a discharge element flange 455 protruding from the outer surface a discharge element 454 and located above the receiving recess 437, and a through hole 457 of the flange formed in the flange 455 of the discharge element.

Here, the first outlet portion 451 may be located in a region that is formed by the protrusion of the outlet flange 455 to the lid 35 of the box (region of the protrusion of the flange).

In other words, when the first outlet portion 451 is formed by the plate, the first outlet portion 451 may protrude to the outlet element 454 from the lid 45 of the box, so that the first outlet portion 451 is located in the region of the protrusion of the flange.

Moreover, when the first outlet portion 451 is formed by a plurality of hollow rods, the plurality of hollow rods should be located in the region of the protrusion of the flange.

If a plurality of hollow rods are made without the same center, it is not a problem that the row formed by connecting the hollow rods located at the periphery is located in the region of the protrusion of the flange.

However, when the plurality of hollow rods are formed by cylinders with the same center, the hollow rod having the largest diameter may be located in a protrusion region of the flange located on the outside of the protrusion region of the through hole, and the hollow rod having the smallest diameter may be located in the area of the protrusion of the through hole.

If the plurality of hollow rods has the same center but does not have a cylindrical shape, the hollow rod having the largest surface area should be located in the region of the protrusion of the flange, and the hollow rod having the smallest surface area should be located in the region of the protrusion of the through hole .

When the first outlet portion 451 is formed by a plurality of hollow rods having the same center, the centers of the respective hollow rods may be located on the water supply opening 355. In this case, the distances between the respective hollow rods may be constant or variable.

Since the first outlet portion 451 is supported by the box cover 35, and the box cover 35 can continuously exchange heat with the outside air, the surface temperature of the first outlet portion 451 can be kept below the temperature of the air leaving the through hole 438.

In addition, when the first exhaust portion 451 is located adjacent to the water supply opening 355, the first exhaust part 451 can further reduce the surface temperature by direct heat exchange with cold water supplied through the water supply opening 355, or by external air passing through an area around the opening 355 for supplying water, thereby increasing the cooling efficiency of the first outlet portion 451.

The discharge unit 45 should further include a discharge hole 47 for directing moisture that has passed to the receiving recess 437 through the through hole 457 of the flange into the through hole 438.

When the receiving recess 437 includes a support pipe 4381 that protrudes to the first outlet portion 451 to support the bottom surface of the discharge element 454, the discharge hole 47 may be formed in the support pipe 4381. However, when the discharge element 454 is directly attached to the peripheral surface of the through hole 438 , a discharge opening 47 should be formed in the discharge element 454.

In any case, the inner surface of the receiving recess 437 is preferably inclined, so that condensate from the receiving recess 437 passes into the discharge opening 47.

Although the present invention has been described with respect to an embodiment in which the outlet assembly 45 includes both a first outlet portion 451 and a second outlet portion 453, the outlet assembly 45 may include only a first outlet portion 451 located above the through hole 438 .

The reason is that the steam leaving the through hole 438 will condense on the surface of the first exhaust portion 451 and then pass into the through hole 438 by gravity, and the water leaving the through hole 438 will come into contact with the surface of the first exhaust portion 451 and then fed into the through hole 438 by gravity.

To connect the tank lid 43 to the tank body 41, the tank lid 43 may further include a first installation groove 432 having a larger diameter than the diameter of the installation rib 439, and a second installation groove 433 located between the first installation groove 432 and the installation rib 439.

In this case, the upper end of the tank body 41 can be inserted into the second installation groove 433, and the installation element 413-415 located on the outer peripheral surface of the tank body 41 can be inserted into the first installation groove 432.

The installation element may include a first installation element 413 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the tank body 41 to the outside, and a second installation element 415 protruding to the tank cover 43 from the first element 413 and inserted into the second installation groove 433.

In addition, the tank lid 43 may further include a groove baffle 434 for separating the first installation groove 432 from the second installation groove 433. The groove baffle 434 is inserted into a groove formed between the second mounting element 415 and the outer peripheral surface of the tank body 41.

Due to the aforementioned connecting structure between the tank body 41 and the tank cap 43, the present invention can minimize leakage of washing or steam water outward between the tank body 41 and the tank cap 43 from the tank body 41.

In contrast to the aforementioned design, the mounting member 414-415 in accordance with the present invention may be located in the tank body 41. In other words, the second mounting element 415 may have a smaller diameter than the diameter of the tank body 41.

In this case, the second mounting member 415 may be inserted into the second mounting groove 433, and the upper end of the tank body 41 may be inserted into the first mounting groove 432.

A laundry treating device in accordance with the present invention, which is constructed as described above, supplies washing water to the tub body 41 through a water supply channel and drains washing water from the tub body 41 to the outside of the housing 2 through a spillway.

As shown in FIG. 6, the overflow channel must be configured to connect a drainage assembly F fixed on the box 3 to the rear panel 23, and the water supply channel must be configured to connect the water supply hole 355 formed on the box 3 to a water supply source located on the outside of the casing 2, through the supply node S.

Accordingly, if the water supply channel and the spillway channel are formed only by the water supply pipe 77 (fixed to the water supply hole 355 with a latch 771) connecting the supply unit V to the water supply hole 355, and the spillway 87 connecting the spill unit F to the rear panel 23, respectively, and the means for guiding the movement of the supply pipe 77 and the drain pipe 87 are not provided in the casing 2, there is a risk that the supply pipe 77 or the drain pipe 87 will become tangled or damaged when extended and box 3 from the casing 2 or its placement in the casing 2.

In order to avoid such a risk, the laundry treating apparatus 100 in accordance with the present invention further includes a guide device located in the casing 2 for guiding the movement of the water supply channel.

A drainage assembly F may be formed by a pump fixed to the box body 31. The pump may include a casing F1, mounted on the casing 31 of the box, for containing water for washing and an electric motor F2 for rotating the impeller located in the casing F1.

The casing F1 is connected to the tank body through the boot portion F3 of the casing and connected to the spillway 87 through the first spillway part F4 of the casing. Accordingly, when the impeller is rotated by the electric motor F2, the washing water contained in the tub body 41 is supplied to the casing F1 through the boot portion F3 of the casing and then supplied to the spillway 87 through the first drain portion F4.

The supply unit V may include a valve connected to a water supply source. However, if there are first and second water supply sources located on the outside of the casing 2 for supplying washing water at different temperatures, the supply unit V in accordance with the present invention will include first and second valves connected to respective water supply sources .

The guiding device 7, which is an integral part of the laundry treating device, in accordance with the present invention may include an element 74 rotatably disposed in the housing for supporting the water supply pipe 77, and an element guiding device 76 fixed in the housing 2 for guiding move element 74.

Element 74 may be configured to be directly mounted on the inner surface of casing 2, and may also be configured to be rotatably supported by a support 72 mounted on casing 2, as shown in FIG. 6.

Although the support 72 can be fixed in any position on the inner surface of the casing 2, the support 72 must be made so as not to interfere with the drawer 3 when the drawer 3 is in the casing 2.

Element 74 may include a rod-shaped base 741, a rotatable base shaft 743 for rotatably connecting the base 741 to the support 72, and a receiving compartment 745 formed in the base 741 for receiving the water supply pipe 77.

The receiving compartment 745 is formed by a first flange 747 and a second flange 748, which are formed in the longitudinal direction on both sides of the base 741 and protrude from it to face each other.

A water supply pipe 77 located in the receiving compartment 745 cannot be separated from the receiving compartment 745 by a cap 749. In FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the cover 749 is configured to connect the free end of the first flange 747 to the free end of the second flange 748.

The element guiding device 76 can be made in any form, provided that it can support the base 741 while the element 74 rotates around the rotating shaft 743 of the base. However, when the base 741 is in the form of a rod, the free end of the base 741 moves along an arcuate path, and thus, the element guide device 76 can also be made in an arcuate shape.

The element guide device 76 may be located below the element 74 to support the base 741 and may also be located above the element 74, or at the same level as the element 74.

If the guide device 76 is positioned to support the bottom surface of the base 741, then the locking device assembly 781-783 is not required. Moreover, if the element guiding device 76 is located above the element 74 or at the same level as the element 74, the guiding device 7 preferably comprises a locking unit 781-783 of the guiding device.

When the element guide device 76 is configured to support the bottom surface of the base 741, the element guide device 76 should not interfere with the drawer 3 when the drawer 3 is placed in the casing 2. For this purpose, the element guide device 76 can be adapted to extend to the lower surface of the base 741 from the support 72 and have an arcuate shape.

When the element guide device is located above the element 74 or at the same level as the element 74, the element guide device 76 can be fixed in any position on the inner surface of the casing 2, provided that it does not interfere with the movement of the box 3.

In FIG. 6 shows an embodiment in which the element guide device 76 is fixed to the top panel 25 of the housing 2. In this case, the element guide device 76 may further comprise a mounting flange 761, which is fixed to the top panel 25 by fastening elements (such as screws) for fixing guiding device 6 of the element on the top panel 25.

The guiding device retainer assembly that rotates the member 74 by guiding the guiding device 76 may include a first guiding device retainer 781 located on the member 74 and a second guiding device retainer 783 located on the member guiding device 76 in the longitudinal direction, and with which the first latch 781 of the guide device is movably connected.

When the element guiding device 76 is configured to maintain the free end of the element 74, the first locking device 781 of the guiding device can be made in the form of a hook protruding from the cover 749.

In this case, the second locking device 783 of the guide device can be made using the protruding guide, which is formed on the element guide device 76 in the longitudinal direction and can also be made using the groove, which is formed on the element guide device 76 in the longitudinal direction by folding the guide device 76 item.

The element guide device 76 may be configured to support a portion other than the free end of the element 74. In this case, the first guide device latch 781 may be located on at least one of the first flange 747 and the second flange 748, and the second latch 783 a guiding device may be formed in the longitudinal direction along the guiding device 76 of the element located above the element 74 to support the first retainer 781 of the guiding device.

Since the element 74, which is part of the guide device 7, is rotatably rotated over the box lid 35, and the element guide device 76 is located above the element 74 or at the same level as the element 74, the box 3 does not interfere with the guide device 7 when the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2 or fit into the casing 2. As a result, the present invention prevents entanglement of the water supply pipe 77 with the drawer 3 or damage to the drawer 3 when the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2 or fits into the casing 2.

A spillway 87 included in the laundry treating apparatus according to the present invention is supported by a spillway guide device 8.

As shown in FIG. 7, the spillway guide device 8 may include a first frame 82 rotatably mounted on the drawer 3 to support the spillway 87, a second frame 84 rotatably mounted on the casing 2 to support the spillway 87, and a rotating shaft 86 of the frames, which rotates the first frame 82 with the second frame 84.

The first frame 82 is rotatably connected to the box 3 by means of a first shaft 821 connected to a support 823 of the first frame fixed to the rear surface of the box body 31, and the second frame 84 is rotatably connected to the box 2 by a second shaft 841 connected to the support 843 of the second frame, mounted on the rear panel 23 of the casing 2.

The free end of the first frame 82 and the free end of the second frame 84 are connected to each other through a rotating shaft 86 of the frames.

The support 843 of the second frame includes a drain pipe 845 extending through the rear panel 23. The drain pipe 845 may be connected to the drain outlet through a drain pipe F7. In this case, the drain pipe 87 is designed to connect the first spillway portion F4 of the casing with the drain pipe 845 and is supported by the first frame 82 and the second frame 84.

As shown in FIG. 8, the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2, the second frame 84 is rotated clockwise around the second shaft 841, and the first frame 82 is rotated counterclockwise around the first shaft 821 while holding the connection position with the second frame 84 through the rotating shaft 86 of the frames. As a result, the laundry treating apparatus according to the present invention can prevent tangling of the spillway with the drawer 3 or the water supply pipe 77 when the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2 or placed in the casing 2.

In a laundry treating apparatus having only the aforementioned structure, washing water from the tub body 41 can be drained due to a siphon effect after driving the electric motor F2.

If a siphon effect occurs, it may be advantageous if the washing water does not remain in the tank body 41 or the drain pipe 87. However, putrefactive odors exiting the sewer outlet can pass into the tank body 41 through the drain pipe F7. In addition, when washing water is supplied to the tub body 41 before the washing water is drained, there is a risk that even the washing water supplied to the tub body 41 will drain.

Accordingly, the present invention may further include a connecting pipe 79 to prevent the siphon effect caused by the drain pipe 87. The connecting pipe 79 is preferably configured to connect the water supply pipe 77 to the water supply pipe 87.

To ensure that the washing water supplied to the tank body 41 does not drain to the outside of the tank body 41 through the drain pipe 87, even if the electric motor F2 located on the drain device F does not work, the drain pipe 845 should be located at more higher than the maximum level of water for washing contained in the housing 41 of the tank.

Here, the drain pipe 87 extends to the drain pipe 845 from the pump housing F1 located below the drain pipe 845. When the impeller is stopped by turning off the electric motor F2, air from the drawer 3 is supplied to the drain pipe 87 through the connecting pipe 79, thereby blocking siphon effect. Therefore, the washing water will remain in the spillway 87.

When washing water remains in the spillway 87, putrefactive odor from the sewer outlet to the tank body 41 can be prevented from passing through the spillway 87, but there is a risk of rupture of the spillway 87 during freezing in winter. Accordingly, it is necessary to drain the washing water even from the spillway 87. For this purpose, the present invention may include a residual water draining unit 9, if desired.

The residual water draining unit 9 in accordance with the present invention may include a residual water draining pipe 91 that communicates with the casing F1 of the draining unit F and is open to the outside of the casing 2 when the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2.

The fixed end of the pipe 91 for draining the residual water can communicate with the casing F through the second drain part F5, and the free end of the pipe 91 for draining the residual water can be detachably fixed on the case 31 of the box. The free end of the pipe 91 for draining the residual water comprises a device 911 for opening and closing the spillway pipe for opening and closing the pipe 91 for draining the residual water.

To fix the free end of the pipe 91 for draining the residual water on the casing 31 of the box, the node 9 draining the residual water may further include means 93 for fastening the spillway located on the casing 31 of the box.

The drain pipe attachment means 93 is located on the box body 31 so that it is located at the rear of the drawer panel 33 (near the open surface 21).

Specifically, the spillway attachment means 93 may include a fixed element 931 fixed to the drawer body 31 for positioning between a rear surface of the drawer panel 33 and a loading hole 353, a through hole 933 of the fixed element formed in the fixed element 931, and an input 935, formed in the fixed element 931, so that the through hole 933 of the fixed element communicates with the outer side of the fixed element 931.

The through hole 933 of the fixed element has a diameter equal to or greater than the diameter of the pipe 91 for draining the residual water, and the inlet 935 has a width smaller than the diameter of the pipe 91 for draining the residual water.

As a result, the user can insert the pipe 91 for draining the residual water into the through hole 933 of the fixed element through the inlet 935 or can remove the pipe 91 for draining the residual water from the stationary element 931.

To prevent tangling of the pipe 91 for draining residual water in the casing or interfering with the elements located in the casing 2 when the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2, the box body 31 may further include a spillway support 313 to prevent contact of the pipe 91 for draining the residual water with the inner surface of the casing 2. In FIG. 8 shows an embodiment in which a spillway support 313 is located in a lower position of the drawer body 31.

Although not shown in the drawings, the laundry treating apparatus according to the present invention may further include a hot air supply (not shown) for supplying hot air to the tub 4 for drying the laundry contained in the drum 5. The hot air supply may be located in any of the first processing device T and the second processing device L.

Below, operation of the laundry treating apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 8.

To load laundry into the receiving unit 4-5 located in the drawer 3, the user must slide the drawer body 31 out of the housing 2 using the drawer panel 33.

When the casing 31 of the drawer is pulled out of the casing 2, the element 74 is supported by the element guide device 76 and rotates in the direction of extension of the casing 31 of the box around the base shaft 743. Accordingly, the present invention can prevent damage to the water supply pipe 77 when pulling the drawer 3 from the casing 2.

When the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2, the second frame 84 rotates clockwise around the second shaft 841, and the first frame 82 rotates counterclockwise around the first shaft 821 while holding the connection position with the second frame 84 through the rotating shaft 86 of the frames. As a result, the present invention can also prevent leakage of the spillway 87 when the drawer 3 is pulled out of the casing 2.

When pulling the drawer 3 from the casing 2, the loading hole 353 formed in the lid 35 of the drawer is open to the outside. As a result, the user can load laundry into the drum 5 located under the tank inlet 435 by turning the door 49 located on the inlet 353 to open the tank inlet 435.

When loading laundry into the drum 5, the user closes the loading opening 435 of the tank using the door 49 and holds the box 3 in the casing. In this case, the guiding device 7 and the guiding device 8 of the spillway prevent interference of the spillway 77 and the spillway for elements located in the casing 2, box 3 and the like.

When the user enters a control command for washing through the control panel 331 in the position in which the drawer 3 is located in the casing 2, the valve located on the feed unit V opens the water supply pipe 77.

When supplying washing water supplied from the water supply source to the water supply pipe 77, the washing water is supplied to the drum 5 through the water supply hole 355 formed in the lid 35 of the box and the through hole 438 formed in the tank lid 43.

After completion of the supply of washing water, the drive unit rotates the drum 5. When the drum 5 rotates, the washing water in the tank body 41 can rotate in the tank body 41 together with the drum.

When the washing water is rotated in the tank body 41 by the drum 5, the washing water from the tank body 41 can pass to the tank cover 43 from the bottom surface of the tank body 41. However, since the tank cap 43 comprises an inclined portion 4391, the present invention can again supply washing water to the drum 5 through the open upper surface of the drum 5.

After the washing is completed, the control unit drains the washing water contained in the tank body 41.

More specifically, the control unit supplies power to an electric motor F2 located on the drainage unit F for transferring washing water from the tank body 41 to the spillway 87. The washing water supplied to the spillway 87 passes into the sewer outlet through the drain pipe 845 and drain pipe F7.

Since the overflow pipe 87 is connected to the supply pipe 77 through the connection pipe 79, and the supply pipe 77 communicates with the drawer body 31 through the water supply opening 355, when the control unit stops supplying the electric motor F2, air is supplied to the overflow pipe 87, thus eliminating the siphon effect.

In addition, since the spillway 67 in accordance with the present invention is inclined to allow the residual water to move from the spillway 87 to the casing F1, almost all of the residual water in the spillway will be contained in the casing F1 of the drainage assembly F.

If washing water is contained in the casing F1, it is possible to prevent the passage of putrid odors exiting the sewer outlet from passing into the tank body 41 through the spillway and to prevent damage to the first spillway 83 if the outside temperature of the laundry treating device decreases.

In addition, in accordance with the present invention, since the pipe 91 for draining the residual water is connected to the casing F1, even the residual water from the casing F1 can be drained if desired. However, to drain the residual water from the casing F1, the user must slide the drawer 3 out of the casing 2.

In addition, when the washing water supplied for washing the laundry is hot water, or the steam is supplied to the laundry after washing the laundry, moisture (water vapor or steam) supplied to the tub body 41 can pass through the through through to the outside of the tub body 41 hole 438.

Moisture that has passed to the outside of the tank body 41 through the through hole 438 condenses on the surface of the first outlet portion 451 located above the through hole 438 and then passes into the second outlet portion 453. Therefore, the present invention can minimize moisture leakage from the tank body 41. in box 3 or casing 2.

In FIG. 9 shows another embodiment of a guiding device 7 in accordance with the present invention. The guiding device 7 according to this embodiment is different from the guiding device 7 shown in FIG. 8, in that the water supply channel and the spillway channel are supported by one guide device 7.

The guide device 7 in accordance with this embodiment also includes an element 74, which is also rotatably supported by the support 72, and an element guide device 76 for guiding the movement of the element 74.

Element 74 may include a base rotatably connected to a support 72 by means of a rotating shaft 743 of the base, a partition 742 dividing the inner compartment of the base 741 into the first channel 71 and the second channel 81, and a cover 749 connected to the base 741 for closing the first and second channels 71 and 81.

The element 74 is supported by the element guide device 76 due to the latches 781 and 783 of the guide device. Since the relative position between the element 74 and the element guide device 76 and the position and design of the guides 781 and 783 of the guide device are the same as described above, their detailed description is omitted.

In this embodiment, the water supply channel, which is an integral part of the laundry treating device, in accordance with the present invention may include a first channel 71 located in the element 74, a connection pipe 73 connected between the first channel 71 and the delivery unit V, and the water supply pipe 77 connected between the first channel and the water supply hole 355 formed in the box. The water supply pipe 77 may be secured to the water supply hole 355 using a latch 771 secured to the box 3.

The spillway in accordance with this embodiment may include a second spillway 81 located in the element 74, a first spillway 83 connected between the second channel 81 and the casing F1 of the drainage unit, and a second drainage pipe 85 connected between the second channel 81 and the drainage pipe F7.

The second spillway pipe 85 may be connected to the casing F1 through the first drainage unit F4 located on the casing F1. The first spillway 83 and the second spillway 85 may be made of an elastic material (such as rubber) or may be in the form of bellows expanding and contracting in the longitudinal direction.

Element 74 in accordance with an embodiment may be formed with a cross-sectional shape, as shown in FIG. 10. In FIG. 10 shows an embodiment in which the element 74, located on the upper portion of the rear surface of the box 3, has a cross-sectional shape accommodating the upper edge of the rear surface of the box 3. Thanks to this configuration, the present invention can minimize the volume of the box 3 while minimizing the volume of the casing 2.

Specifically, the first channel 71 may be located on the upper portion of the box 3, parallel to the upper surface of the box 3 (lid 35 of the box), and the second channel 81 may be located on the rear portion of the box 3, parallel to the rear surface of the box 3.

When the first element 63 bends under the influence of gravity or external force (vibration of the box), since the portion of the first element 63 on which the first channel 71 is located can be supported by the top surface 35 of the box, the cross-sectional shape of the first element 63 performs the function of preventing deformation or damage to the guide devices 6.

When the box 3 is inserted into the casing 2, the portion of the first element 63 on which the second channel 81 is located performs the function of preventing the first element 63 from turning to the box 3. Accordingly, the above cross-sectional shape of the first element 63 performs the function of preventing the first element 63 from moving out of the set position beyond account of the application of external force (vibration of the box).

As described above, the present invention can provide a laundry treating apparatus that is detachably coupled to another laundry treating apparatus for performing both laundry drying drying functions.

In addition, the present invention can provide a laundry treating device that is configured to provide easy supply of washing water to a receiving unit or draining washing water from a receiving unit mounted to extend in a casing to receive laundry.

In addition, the present invention can provide a laundry treating device that condenses moisture exiting the receiving unit and returns condensate to the receiving unit.

In addition, the present invention can provide a device for processing laundry, preventing the presence of washing water in the drain unit, which serves to drain the wash water contained in the receiving unit.

Specialists in the art should understand that various modifications and changes are possible in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention include modifications and variations of this invention provided that they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
