Fig. 2 is a view exemplarily showing a state of condensed water generated in a receiving space of a laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating a machine room of a laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, a clothes refreshing apparatus (refresher) that refreshes clothes and supplies hot air will be described as the clothes treating apparatus 1000 according to the embodiment of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and the idea of the present invention may be applied to other apparatuses that may be provided with a heat pump or the like.

Here, the refreshing may be a process of performing wrinkle removal (removal of wrinkles), odor removal (deodorization), sterilization (sterilization), static electricity removal (removal of static electricity), heating (warming), or the like of the laundry by supplying air (air), hot air (heated air), moisture (water), mist (mist), steam (steam), or the like to the laundry.

In addition, the clothes mentioned in the present embodiment include not only clothes (clothes), clothes (applets), but also objects worn by a person, such as shoes, socks, gloves, hats, neckerchields, etc., objects used by a person, such as dolls, towels, bedding, etc., and may include all objects that can be washed.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention may include: a case 10 formed in an outer shape; an accommodating space 11 formed at an inner side of the cabinet 10 and accommodating laundry; a hanger provided at an upper portion of an inner side of the cabinet 10, on which clothes are hung; an air supply device 20 dehumidifying and heating air to supply dry air and hot wind to the accommodating space 11; a moisture generating device 70 selectively supplying moisture and steam to the accommodating space 11; and a control unit connected to each of the components and controlling the operation of each of the components.

The cabinet 10 is provided with a door 13, and the door 13 is used for closing the accommodating space 11 formed inside the cabinet 10. A control panel for controlling the laundry treating apparatus 1000 is provided at an outer side of the door 13. A control unit connected to the control panel and controlling each constituent part of the laundry treating apparatus 1000 is provided in an inner space portion of the door 13. A hanger for hanging additional laundry may be provided at an inner side of the door 13.

The accommodating space 11 is provided with: an air supply part 30 for supplying air and hot wind supplied from the air supply device 20; and an air suction part 40 sucking the air and the hot wind supplied from the air supply part 30 and treating the laundry to circulate them. The air supply unit 30 and the air intake unit 40 are connected to an air supply device 20 of a machine room 60, which will be described later.

On the other hand, a machine chamber 60 may be formed at a lower portion of the accommodating space 11 of the case 10, and the air supply device 20 and the moisture generation device 70 may be provided in the machine chamber 60. In this case, a machinery chamber door independent of the door 13 may also be provided to close the machinery chamber 60.

The reason why the machine chamber 60 is located at the lower portion of the accommodating space 11 is that the machine chamber 60 is located at the lower portion to facilitate the supply of the hot wind and the steam to the upper portion because the hot wind and the steam, etc. supplied to the accommodating space 11 have a rising property.

The air supply device 20 is located inside the machine room 60, heats and dehumidifies air, and supplies hot air to the accommodating space 11. A moisture generating device 70 for supplying moisture is located at one side of such an air supplying device 20. The air supply device 20 is constituted by a heat pump using an evaporator, a compressor 21, a condenser, and an expansion valve for circulating a refrigerant. This dehumidifies and heats the air.

That is, the refrigerant absorbs latent heat of ambient air when it evaporates in the evaporator, thereby dehumidifying by cooling the air and condensing moisture in the air. In this regard, a moisture generating device 70 and a condensed water drain device 80 are provided at one side of the air supply device 20, and the condensed water drain device 80 collects the condensed water condensed at the air supply device 20 and drains or supplies water again to the moisture generating device 70.

To explain the air supply device 20 in detail, the air supply device 20 is provided with: a compressor 21 for compressing a refrigerant; a heat exchanger 23 for exchanging heat between the refrigerant condensed by the compressor 21 and air; a blowing duct 31 for supplying air (or hot air) having passed through the heat exchanger 23 to the accommodating space 11; a suction duct 41 for sucking air of the accommodating space 11. Here, the air supply duct 31 and the air suction duct 41 are connected to the air supply unit 30 and the air suction unit 40 of the storage space 11, respectively.

With this air supply device 20, the air of the accommodating space 11 flows into the heat exchanger 23 via the air intake portion 40 and the intake duct 41, and the air flowing into the heat exchanger 23 is dehumidified and heated by the evaporator and the condenser of the heat exchanger 23. The heated air is supplied to the accommodating space 11 through the air supply part 30 by the air supply duct 31.

The moisture generating device 70 may remove wrinkles and the like that may occur in the laundry and the like by supplying steam to the accommodating space 11 accommodating the laundry, and not only obtain an effect of sterilization but also an effect of refreshing by swelling the laundry cloth and the like by the steam of a high temperature.

The water generator 70 is provided with a heater for heating water, so that steam is generated by heating the water and supplied to the accommodating space 11. As a water supply source for supplying water to the water content generator 70, an external water tap or the like or a tank (container) type water supply tank provided on one side of the machine chamber 60 may be used.

On the other hand, as shown in fig. 2, condensed water may be generated due to a temperature difference during the laundry treatment through the above-described processes, and particularly, in the case of using steam, a large amount of condensed water may be generated in the accommodating space 11.

By discharging such condensed water through the through-hole 43 of the air intake portion 40, the inside of the accommodating space 11 can be maintained in a state suitable for treating the laundry.

However, if the condensed water generated in each part of the accommodating space 11 is not smoothly discharged from the through-hole 43 of the air suction unit 40 and flows into the gap between the cabinet 10 and the door 13, the sealing member may be damaged, and water may leak to the outside of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000.

Therefore, the air intake unit assembly 50 and the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 including the same according to the embodiment of the present invention are configured to smoothly discharge the condensed water generated in the accommodating space 11 through the through-hole 43 of the air intake unit 40.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating an air intake assembly of a laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an air intake assembly of a laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 4 and 5, in the laundry treating apparatus 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the air intake part assembly 50 includes the cover part 100, and may further include the duct fastening part 200, the filter part 300, and the grill part 400.

The air intake unit assembly 50 includes a cover 100, the cover 100 is provided on the air intake unit 40, and a through-hole 43 is formed in a part of the air intake unit 40. In addition, the air intake part assembly 50 may include: a duct fastening part 200 coupled to the cap part 100 and fastening the suction duct 41 positioned at a lower portion of the cap part 100; a filter part 300 positioned on the air intake part 40 and installed at the cover part 100; and a grill part 400 coupled to the air suction part 40 to fix the filter part 300.

A portion of the cap part 100 corresponding to the through-hole 43 is opened to suck air and enable the duct fastening part 200 and the suction duct 41 to be fastened at upper and lower portions of the cap part 100. Such a cover 100 may be coupled and fixed to the inside of the case 10 by a coupling member such as a screw.

The duct fastening part 200 is a part penetrating the cover part 100 to be coupled to cover the through-hole 43, and may be formed in a rectangular tube shape formed with a hollow to be inserted into the through-hole 43. The duct fastening portion 200 may be fixed to the suction duct 41 by a coupling member such as a screw. A catching protrusion extending and bent downward for restricting the position of the suction duct 41 may be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the duct fastening part 200.

Accordingly, since the air intake unit assembly 50 and the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 including the same of the present embodiment covers the through-hole 43 by the duct fastening portion 200 coupled to the lid portion 100, coupling with the intake duct 41 can be stably formed, and air intake and condensed water discharge can be stably performed.

The filter part 300, which is a part that is seated on the cover part 100 and filters foreign substances flowing into the air intake part 40, is located at an upper portion of the duct fastening part 200, and may be seated on the cover part 100 on the air intake part 40. Such a filter part 300 may be formed of a main body part forming a rim and a mesh for filtering foreign materials.

The filter unit 300 has an outer peripheral surface corresponding to an inner peripheral surface of the air intake unit 40. A removal groove formed in a concave shape may be formed at a corner of one side of the body of the filter unit 300 to facilitate the removal of the filter unit 300.

Accordingly, the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same of the present embodiment can filter out foreign substances in the intake air or the discharged condensed water because the filter part 300 is disposed on the cover part 100.

The grill part 400 is a part covering the filter part 300 and coupled to the cover part 100, and may be provided to the air intake part 40 formed inside the case 10 and prevent the detachment of the filter part 300. Such a grill part 400 may be formed of a main body part forming an edge and a plurality of slits for passing air.

The grill portion 400 has an outer peripheral surface corresponding to the inner peripheral surface of the air intake portion 40. An elastic rib may be formed at one side of the grill part 400 in a protruding manner so that the grill part 400 is detachably placed on the inner circumferential surface of the air suction part 40.

Accordingly, in the air intake unit assembly 50 and the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 including the same according to the present embodiment, the grill 400 covering the filter unit 300 is coupled to the cover 100, so that the filter unit 300 can be prevented from being directly exposed to the outside, and the external appearance can be improved.

Fig. 6 is a plan view showing a cover portion of an air intake portion assembly of a clothes treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken along line a-a of fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a diagram exemplarily illustrating a path of condensed water moving at the cover part shown in fig. 6.

As shown in fig. 6 to 8, in the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to the embodiment of the present invention, the cover part 100 includes the base plate 110, the outer wall 120, and the ribs 130.

The substrate 110 is a portion formed in a plate shape whose portion corresponding to the through-hole 43 is open and which covers the air intake portion 40 on a plane, the substrate 110 forming the main appearance of the cover portion 100. In this case, in a state where the substrate 110 covers the air intake part 40, the open portion of the substrate 110 and the through-hole 43 communicate with each other, and the duct fastening part 200 may be coupled to such open portion.

The outer wall 120 is a portion continuously protruded along the circumference of the base plate 110, and the upper end of the outer wall 120 may correspond to the inner surface of the case 10 or be protruded to a prescribed degree higher than the inner surface of the case 10. Also, the grill part 400 may be seated on such an outer wall 120, while maintaining a state in which the inner surface of the case 10 and the grill part 400 are combined in the overall appearance.

On the other hand, the condensed water moving along the inner surface of the casing 10 may move toward the substrate 110 of the cover 100 to be discharged through the through-hole 43. In this case, the moved condensed water may be concentrated on the upper surface of the substrate 110 via the outer wall 120 of the cover part 100.

However, when the condensed water is dispersed over the entire upper surface of the substrate 110, a part of the condensed water may not be discharged from the through-hole 43 and may remain on the upper surface of the substrate 110. Therefore, the condensed water is not recommended to be dispersed over the entire upper surface of the substrate 110, and a discharge path of the condensed water flowing toward the through-hole 43 needs to be concentrated.

For this, the rib 130 protrudes at a portion spaced inward from the outer wall 120, whereby a drainage path 140 toward the through-port 43 is formed in a space between the rib 130 and the outer wall 120.

That is, the moved condensed water passes through the outer wall 120 of the cover 100 and is blocked by the rib 130, and thus cannot move further to the central portion of the base plate 110. As a result, the condensed water moves to the through-hole 43 along the drain passage 140 corresponding to the space between the outer wall 120 and the rib 130.

As described above, in the air intake unit assembly 50 and the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 including the same according to the present embodiment, the drain path 140 toward the through-hole 43 is formed in the space formed between the outer wall 120 of the cover 100 and the rib 130, so that the condensed water generated in the housing space 11 can be smoothly discharged without being scattered to an unintended portion.

In the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention, the water discharge passage 140 may be formed in an inclined shape to become lower as approaching the through-hole 43.

That is, with reference to fig. 7, the water discharge channel 140 may be formed to be inclined so that the left side is high and the right side is low, which is a portion corresponding to the portion where the through-hole 43 is formed.

Therefore, the condensed water flowing into the drain path 140 between the outer wall 120 and the rib 130 may move only from the left side to the right side with the gradient. As a result, the condensed water constantly moves without flowing backward along the drainage path 140.

As described above, in the air intake unit assembly 50 and the clothes treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to the present embodiment, since the drain path 140 formed in the lid portion 100 has a gradient that becomes lower as it approaches the through-hole 43, the condensed water can be smoothly discharged without flowing backward on the discharge path of the condensed water generated in the accommodating space 11.

In the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to the embodiment of the present invention, the cover part 100 may further include an inclined surface 150, and the inclined surface 150 may be formed in a shape that is inclined to be higher as being distant from a portion where the water discharge passage 140 and the through-hole 43 are connected.

That is, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the portion where drainage channel 140 and through-hole 43 are connected may have the lowest height, and drainage channel 140 having the above-described slope may be formed on the left side with this portion as the center.

Further, the inclined surface 150 is formed on the right side with the connecting portion having the lowest height as the center, thereby preventing the condensed water from excessively moving to the right side through the connecting portion.

In particular, in the case of condensed water, a part of the condensed water may adhere to the surface of the cover 100 due to surface tension or the like, and thus the condensed water may be discharged from the through-hole 43. However, as described above, when the inclined surface 150 is formed, the condensed water gradually collects at the connection portion, reaches a volume and a weight capable of canceling the surface tension, and is discharged from the through hole 43.

As described above, in the air intake part assembly 50 and the cover part 100 of the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 including the same according to the present embodiment, since the inclined surfaces 150 are formed in both lateral directions around the portion where the drainage channel 140 and the through-hole 43 are connected, the height of the portion is the lowest, and therefore, even when the drainage of the condensed water is affected by surface tension or the like, the condensed water having a high collection degree can be smoothly discharged.

In the air intake unit assembly 50 and the clothes treatment apparatus 1000 including the same according to the embodiment of the present invention, the substrate 110 may be formed in a rectangular shape in which the through-hole 43 is disposed on one end side, and the water drainage channel 140 may be formed to extend from the other end of the substrate 110 to the through-hole 43.

That is, as shown in fig. 7 and 8, the through-hole 43 may be offset to the right of the substrate 110, and the water discharge channel 140 may be formed to extend from the left end of the substrate 110 to the through-hole 43.

Therefore, the condensed water flowing into the cover 100 can be discharged through the through-hole 43 after always moving in the right-hand direction from the left side of the substrate 110.

As described above, in the air intake part assembly 50 and the clothes treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to the present embodiment, the through-hole 43 is formed at one end side of the cover part 100 having the rectangular plane, and the drain path 140 is formed from the other end of the cover part 100 to the through-hole 43, so that the drain path of the condensed water is simplified and integrated, thereby improving the drain efficiency.

In the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention, the protruding height of the rib 130 may be relatively lower than the protruding height of the outer wall 120.

As described above, the condensed water can be guided to the through-port 43 along the drain passage 140 between the outer wall 120 and the rib 130, but if the amount of the collected condensed water is excessive, the storage capacity of the drain passage 140 may be exceeded.

In this case, the condensed water may be scattered to other parts of the cover 100 over the drainage channel 140, and it may be undesirable to scatter the condensed water again to the storage space 11 of the cabinet 10 from the functional viewpoint of the laundry treatment apparatus 1000.

Therefore, even when condensed water separated from the drain path 140 is generated due to excessive condensed water, the height of the rib 130 may be preferably lower than the height of the outer wall 120 to be able to accommodate the condensed water separated from the drain path 140 in the cover portion 100.

As described above, in the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to the present embodiment, since the protruding height of the rib 130 is lower than the protruding height of the outer wall 120 with respect to the upper surface of the cover part 100, the condensed water moving along the drainage channel 140 can be prevented from being dispersed to the outside of the cover part 100.

In the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention, the duct fastening part 200 may include a drain groove 210, and the drain groove 210 is concavely formed at a portion where the duct fastening part 200 and the drain path 140 are connected.

That is, as shown in fig. 8, the duct fastening portion 200 may be coupled to the through hole 43. Further, a drain groove 210 may be formed on the upper surface of the pipe fastening portion 200, and the drain groove 210 may be connected to a portion where the through-hole 43 and the drain path 140 are coupled.

Therefore, the condensed water moved to the lowest height portion may naturally move along the drain groove 210 at the connection portion of the drain path 140 and the through-hole 43 and be discharged into the through-hole 43.

As described above, in the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same of the present embodiment, since the drain groove 210 is formed at the portion where the duct fastening part 200 is connected to the drain path 140, the condensed water concentrated along the drain path 140 can smoothly move to the through-port 43 where the duct fastening part 200 is provided.

Fig. 9 is a view showing the air intake unit assembly shown in fig. 4 cut away. Fig. 10 is a sectional view showing a coupling state of an air intake assembly of a laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 11 is a view exemplarily illustrating a path of inflow of condensed water into the air intake part assembly in the laundry treating apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention.

In the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention, the filter part 300 may include a support base 310 formed to extend along the drainage path 140 and to be supported by the cover part 100.

That is, as shown in fig. 10, a support stage 310 is formed at a lower portion of the filter part 300 so that the filter part 300 can be seated on the cover part 100 through the support stage 310. In this case, the support table 310 is formed to extend along the drainage path 140 formed at the cover 100 so that the support portion can be seated in the drainage path 140.

Accordingly, a portion of the condensed water flowing into the drain path 140 may move along the surface of the support platform 310, and the extending direction of the support platform 310 may guide the moving direction of the condensed water.

As described above, in the air intake unit assembly 50 and the laundry treatment apparatus 1000 including the same according to the present embodiment, since the support base 310 of the filter unit 300 is formed to extend along the drainage path 140, the support base 310 of the filter unit 300 can guide a moving path of the condensed water flowing into the drainage path 140.

In the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention, the grill part 400 may be disposed at an upper portion of the outer wall 120 to be supported by the cover part 100.

That is, as shown in fig. 11, it may be configured that the outline portion of the grill portion 400 is seated on the outer wall 120 of the cover portion 100. Thus, the condensed water moving along the inner surface of the case 10 may contact the gap between the grill part 400 and the outer wall 120 after moving to the cover part 100.

In this case, a relatively small gap exists between the grill part 400 and the outer wall 120, so that the condensed water contacting such a gap may flow into the gap due to a capillary phenomenon. Therefore, even if the outer wall 120 protrudes from the inner surface of the casing 10 by a predetermined dimension, the condensed water can smoothly flow into the drain path 140 due to the capillary phenomenon, as described above.

As described above, in the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same of the present embodiment, since the grill part 400 is combined with the cover part 100 to be supported at the outer wall 120, condensed water generated in the accommodating space 11 may flow into the gap between the grill part 400 and the outer wall 120 due to the capillary phenomenon.

In the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating apparatus 1000 including the same according to an embodiment of the present invention, the upper surface of the grill part 400 may be formed to be inclined in a shape that becomes lower as approaching the inside from the outer contour.

That is, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the outer contour portion of the grid portion 400 may be formed to be inclined inward. Therefore, when condensed water is present on the upper surface of the grill portion 400, the condensed water may also move toward the center of the grill portion 400 along the slope, and such condensed water may be discharged from the through-hole 43 via the slit of the grill portion 400.

As described above, in the air intake part assembly 50 and the laundry treating device 1000 including the same of the present embodiment, since the upper surface of the grill part 400 is shaped to be concave toward the inside, condensed water existing on the upper surface of the grill part 400 may be discharged after being concentrated to the center.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Therefore, such modifications and variations cannot be individually understood without departing from the technical idea or viewpoint of the present invention, and the modified embodiments should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
