The flow of wind in the apparatus main body 2 is indicated by arrows in FIG. By the operation of the fan 210, external air is introduced into the intake duct 511 through the first intake port 104 and the second intake port 106. The introduced air flows upward in the first air passage 514, passes through the air suction filter 520 in a folded manner, flows downward in the second air passage 515, and is sucked into the fan casing 211 of the fan 210.

Since the blower 210 is of a large air volume type, a large amount of air is sucked into the blower casing 211 from the suction port 212, and a large amount of air flows in the intake duct 511. Therefore, it is easy to generate a large inhalation sound in the intake duct 511.

Inner surface. The pleats on the front side of the garment are stretched by the hot air that is ejected. At this time, since the amount of wind blown by the hot air is large, the hot air stagnates inside the laundry to bulge the laundry. The wrinkles of the clothes are also stretched by being stretched when bulging. The cuffs and hem of the clothes are sealed by the clip K, whereby the clothes are more likely to bulge and the wrinkles are more easily stretched. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the first exhaust port 712 and the second exhaust port 722 are inclined outward with respect to the front direction, so that hot air sprayed on the inner surface of the laundry easily flows to the sleeve side of the laundry, and the hot air is easy. Enter the sleeve from the cornice. Thereby, the wrinkles of the sleeve are also easily stretched.

When the pleats on the front side of the laundry are stretched, the wrinkle stretching operation is temporarily stopped to change the orientation of the laundry. That is, the hanger H is placed in the nozzle unit 3 such that the rear side of the laundry faces the front surface of the nozzle unit 3. Thereafter, the pleat stretching operation starts again, and the pleats on the back side of the laundry are stretched. Thus, when the wrinkles of the entire garment are stretched, the wrinkle stretch operation ends.

The clothes are sprayed with water using a sprayer or the like in advance. When the wrinkle stretching operation of the laundry by the laundry treating apparatus 1B is started, the hot air generated in the apparatus main body 4 is introduced into the first nozzle 810 and the second nozzle 820. As shown by the arrow in FIG. 10(b), the hot air introduced into the first nozzle 810 and the second nozzle 820 is strongly blown from the first exhaust port 812 and the second exhaust port 822, and from the front side of the laundry and The back side is strongly blown toward the outer surface of the garment. Thereby, the wrinkles of the laundry part by the hot air are stretched. At this time, the first exhaust port 812 and the second exhaust port 822 are slightly inclined downward with respect to the horizontal direction. It is inclined, and therefore, a gravity component is applied to the blown hot air, and the wind of the hot wind is enhanced. Therefore, hot air can be ejected more strongly to the clothes, and the wrinkle stretching effect can be expected to be improved.

As shown in Fig. 10 (a), during the wrinkle stretching operation, the laundry moves in the up and down direction, whereby the wrinkles of the entire laundry are stretched. Thus, when the wrinkles of the entire garment are stretched, the wrinkle stretch operation ends.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, the laundry treating apparatus 1B is configured to blow hot air from the first nozzle 810 and the second nozzle 820 to the laundry passing between the first nozzle 810 and the second nozzle 820 and to blow the outer surface of the laundry. Moreover, the box for accommodating the laundry and the storage compartment are not provided, and therefore, the arrangement of the laundry treating apparatus 1B does not require a large space. Therefore, the user can easily set the laundry treating apparatus 1B in the home to stretch the wrinkles of the laundry.

For example, the first exhaust port 712 may be formed in two places in the circumferential direction of the first nozzle 710, and the second exhaust port 722 may be formed in two places in the circumferential direction of the second nozzle 720. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 12(a), one first exhaust port 712 may be formed to face the front direction of the first nozzle 710, and the other first exhaust port 712 is formed to face the first direction. The left direction of the nozzle 710 is oblique. Further, a second exhaust port 722 may be formed to face the front direction of the second nozzle 720, and the other second exhaust port 722 may be formed to face the right oblique direction of the second nozzle 720. Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 12(b), one first exhaust port 712 may be formed to be slightly inclined to the left from the front direction of the first nozzle 710, and the other first exhaust port 712 is formed to be oriented. A direction slightly inclined to the left from the back surface direction of the first nozzle 710. Further, it may be that one second exhaust port 722 is formed in a direction slightly inclined to the right from the front direction of the second nozzle 720, and the other second exhaust port 722 is formed to be slightly toward the rear side from the second nozzle 720. The direction to the right.

Further, for example, the first exhaust port 712 may be formed in four places in the circumferential direction of the first nozzle 710, and the second exhaust port 722 may be formed in four places in the circumferential direction of the second nozzle 720. In this case, for example, as shown in FIG. 12(c), two first exhaust ports 712 may be provided at the same position of the first nozzle 710 as in FIG. 12(a), and The exhaust port 712 is provided with two remaining first exhaust ports 712 at positions symmetrical in the front-rear direction. Further, two second exhaust ports 722 may be provided at the same position as the second nozzle 720 as shown in FIG. 12(a), and left at positions symmetrical with respect to the second exhaust ports 722 in the front-rear direction. The next two second exhaust ports 722.

In the configuration of Fig. 12 (a), on the front side or the rear side of the laundry, hot air can be blown to a wide range of the inner surface of the laundry. In the configuration of Fig. 12 (b), hot air can be blown toward the front side and the rear side inner surface of the laundry. In the configuration of Fig. 12(c), hot air can be blown to a wide range of the inner surface of the garment on the front side and the rear side inner surface of the laundry. However, in order to maintain the wind force of the hot air, in the configuration of Figs. 12(a) and (b), it is necessary to send a wind having a larger air volume than the first embodiment from the wind turbine 210, and in the configuration of Fig. 12(c), Winds having a larger air volume than those of Figs. 12(a) and (b) are sent from the fan 210.

Further, the first exhaust port 712 and the second exhaust port 722 may not be linearly arranged in the axial direction of the first nozzle 710 and the second nozzle 720, but may be arranged in a zigzag manner.

Further, in the second embodiment described above, the arrangement of the first exhaust port 812 and the second exhaust port 822 is also similar to that of the first embodiment described above, and can be appropriately changed. For example, it can be: at the first spray The nozzle 810 and the second nozzle 820 are provided with two or more first exhaust ports 812 and second exhaust ports 822 in the circumferential direction. Further, the first exhaust port 812 and the second exhaust port 822 may not be linearly arranged in the axial direction of the first nozzle 810 and the second nozzle 820, but may be arranged in a zigzag manner.

Further, in the apparatus main body 2 of the first embodiment described above and/or the apparatus main body 4 of the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 13, the mist generated by the wind sent from the blower 210 may be provided with mist. 1000. For example, in the modification of FIG. 13, the mist generators 1000 are disposed in the first heater chamber 315 and the second heater chamber 316, respectively. It should be noted that the mist generator 1000 corresponds to the moisture supply unit of the present invention.

Water is supplied to each mist generator 1000 from a water supply tank (not shown) disposed in the casing 100 by the water supply hose 1010. The mist generator 1000 has a known configuration and uses the supplied water to generate mist.

In the laundry treating apparatus 1A (1B), the fan 210 and the two mist generators 1000 are operated in a state where the first heater 320 and the second heater 330 are stopped before the wrinkle stretching operation is started. The mist generated from the mist generator 1000 is mixed into the wind passing through the first heater chamber 315 and the second heater chamber 316. Thus, the moisture-containing wind is sent to the first nozzle 710 (810) and the second nozzle 720 (820), and is blown toward the laundry from the first exhaust port 712 (812) and the second exhaust port 722 (822). Thereby, the laundry is given moisture, and the laundry becomes wet. Therefore, the user can perform the work of spraying the clothes with a sprayer or the like without performing the work in advance.

Further, in the first embodiment described above, the nozzle unit 3 is constituted by two nozzles of the first nozzle 710 and the second nozzle 720. However, the nozzle unit 3 may be constituted by one nozzle or three or more nozzles. Further, in the second embodiment, the nozzle unit 5 may be constituted by three or more nozzles.
