  • the conventional clothing treatment apparatus is equipped with an automatic detergent supply device including a detergent box in which the detergent supply unit stores detergent, and a valve that automatically supplies the detergent contained in the detergent box to the tub.
  • This type of clothing treatment device has the advantage that the control unit can calculate the optimal amount of detergent according to the amount of laundry, water supply, etc., so that only an appropriate amount of detergent can be supplied to the tub even if a large amount of detergent is stored in the detergent box.
  • the laundry treatment device had a limitation in that the detergent box was integrated into the cabinet and the like and could not be separated. As a result, when foreign substances are introduced into the detergent box or are contaminated, the clothes treatment device cannot be washed separately, so there is a possibility that the automatic detergent supply device may be damaged or the clothes may be contaminated by the detergent stored in the detergent box.
  • the clothes treatment device had a fundamental limitation in that it was difficult to maintain and repair because there was no way to easily remove the wrong detergent or foreign matter if the user put the wrong detergent or foreign matter in the detergent box.
  • the laundry treatment device is equipped so that the detergent box can be separated from the flow path that supplies detergent and completely pulled out to the outside. Accordingly, there was an advantage that the detergent box could be easily cleaned if it was contaminated or foreign substances were added, and if other detergents or foreign substances other than a suitable detergent were added to the detergent box, it could be easily removed.
