Description

Multifunctional storage system comprising air discharge part for clothes dusting

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a multifunctional storage system including a side air discharge portion for dusting clothes, and more particularly, to a multifunctional storage system including an air discharge portion on an inner surface of a storage chamber to discharge air toward clothes hung on a hanger and remove fine dust and foreign substances stuck to the clothes.

Background

In the atmosphere of the outdoor space, many dusts such as motes, ultra motes, yellow sand, pollen, automobile exhaust gas, and dust, which are difficult to be seen by human eyes, float. As a result, fine dust and the like present in the atmosphere adhere to clothes, shoes, or body parts such as hair during outdoor activities or movement in outdoor spaces.

While the dust particles and the like adhering to the body part can be removed by showering or the like, if the dust particles and the like adhering to clothes and the like are not removed, the dust particles may flow into the indoor space and flow into the body through the respiratory organs of the human living indoors.

The entry of the fine dust into the lungs via the respiratory organs while the human breathes reduces the lung function and also reduces the immune function. This can be fatal to children or elderly people with weak immunity.

Therefore, in order to remove dust and the like attached to clothes and the like, there is a shortage in only indirectly purifying air like an air cleaner, and a device for directly removing the dust and the like from the clothes is required.

As the prior art, Korean authorized utility model No. 20-0479972 is disclosed. In the above prior art, a device for dusting clothes dust by moving a hanger bar left and right inside a wardrobe is disclosed. However, such a movement of the hanger bar in the left-right direction cannot be expected to effectively dust.

As still another prior art, Korean laid-open patent No. 10-2018-0024348 is disclosed. As the clothes refreshing apparatus in the above prior art, the following structure is disclosed: an air outlet is formed at the lower part of the clothes hanger, and the air generated by the air supply fan is supplied to the clothes hung on the clothes hanger.

However, this prior art structure has the following problems: even if air is blown toward the clothes from the inside of the clothes surrounding the hanger in a state where the clothes are hung, it is difficult to expect an effect of removing dust attached to the outside of the clothes.

In recent years, as the dust becomes a focus of greater social debate, the technical demand for being able to remove dust adhering to clothes is also very high.

Detailed Description

Hereinafter, a multifunctional storage system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For the purpose of explanation, terms such as front (X axis), back (-X axis), right side (Y axis), left side (-Y axis), and down (-Z axis) are used, and although a coordinate system is shown in the drawings, this is for explanation only, and the present invention is not limited to this direction.

Structural description of multifunctional storage system

A multifunctional storage system according to the present invention is explained with reference to fig. 1 to 4.

The multifunctional receiving system according to the present invention includes a receiving chamber 100, a machine room 200, an air supply module 300, a case 500, and a door 600.

The storage chamber 100 is a space for storing laundry and the like and removing contaminants, malodorous substances, and the like. For this reason, the natural humidified air can be flowed and circulated as the circulating air after the interior of the housing chamber 100 is raised to a high temperature. The details will be described later in association with the operation mode.

When the housing chamber 100 is viewed from the inside, the circulation filter attachment/detachment portion 129, the circulation air inflow port 141, the circulation air outflow port 142, and the functional material housing portion 147 are provided on the lower surface.

The circulation filter attachment/detachment portion 129 is an opening through which the circulation filter unit 229 located in the machine room 200 can be easily attached/detached for maintenance, replacement, or the like of the circulation filter unit 229. The circulation air inlet 141 and the circulation air outlet 142 are openings for allowing circulation air inside the housing chamber 100 to flow in and out of the machine chamber 200, respectively. The functional material storage portion 147 is a space for storing a substance for adding a function other than removing a contaminant and a malodor substance from an article such as clothes stored in the storage chamber 100, for example, a fragrant substance, and is capable of being discharged to the storage chamber 100.

Referring to fig. 5, an air blowing module mounting portion 130 to which an air blowing module 300 is mounted is provided at an inner upper portion of the receiving chamber 100, and an air blowing hanger (not shown) having an air blowing function may be further provided at a lower portion of the air blowing module 300, which will be described later.

A clothes hanger 310 may be provided at the center of the inner upper portion of the storage chamber 100, and a trousers hanger (not shown) may be further provided on the left and right inner side walls of the storage chamber 100.

The machine room 200 is a space for performing an air cleaning mode, and also a space for performing the following functions: the air is circulated by flowing in the air from the receiving chamber 100 and filtering the air in the laundry management mode and then flowing out the natural humidified air as the circulating air.

The machine room 200 may be located in any direction with respect to the storage room 100, but is preferably located at a lower portion of the storage room 100. This is because the condensed water or the saturated humid air condensed in the storage chamber 100 can flow into the machine chamber 200 by its own weight and be discharged to the outside through the condensed water tank 280.

The machine room 200 includes an air inlet 210, a first flow passage 220, a fan unit 230, a second flow passage 240, an air outlet 250, a heating part 260, a supply water tank 270, and a condensate water tank 280.

The inlet port 210 is a portion for sucking external air into the machine room 200. Can be opened or closed according to selection. For example, the suction port 210 may be opened in the air cleaning mode, and the suction port 210 may be closed in the laundry management mode. The position of the air inlet 210 is preferably below an air outlet 250 described later, and more preferably at the lowermost end of the machine room 200. This is because it is preferable that the suction opening 210 is closed in the laundry management mode so that the circulation flow path of the circulation air can be more concise and the door 600 does not reach the suction opening 210.

A cleaning filter unit mounting portion 218 is provided in the suction port 210, so that a cleaning filter unit 219 can be provided. The cleaning filter unit 219 functions to filter the external air sucked in the air cleaning mode, and may include a pre-filter, a high efficiency air filter, and the like, but is not limited thereto.

The first flow passage 220 communicates with the suction port 210, the second flow passage 240, and the fan unit 230. The external air sucked and filtered by the suction port 210 in the air cleaning mode and the circulation air sucked through the second flow passage 240 in the laundry management mode are flowed into the first flow passage 220.

A circulation filter unit 229 is provided inside the first flow passage 220. The circulation filter unit 229 can perform a function of filtering the circulation air. Since the circulation filter unit 229 may include a humidification filter, if water stagnant in the supply water tank 270 is supplied to the humidification filter, natural humidified air is formed due to the supply of moisture during the circulation air passes through the humidification filter. The user can remove or install the circulation filter unit 229 by opening the door 600 and approaching the circulation filter attachment/detachment portion 129.

The inflow side of the fan unit 230 communicates with the first flow passage 220, and provides power for sucking air into the first flow passage 220. By the operation of the fan unit 230, external air is drawn into the first flow passage 220 in the air cleaning mode, and air inside the receiving chamber 100 is drawn into the first flow passage 220 as circulating air in the laundry management mode. The discharge side of the fan unit 230 communicates with the second flow passage 240.

The second flow passage 240 receives filtered outside air or circulated air from the fan unit 230. The second flow path 240 selectively communicates with either the storage chamber 100 or the exhaust port 250, and includes a first flow path switching member 241 and a second flow path switching member 242 for this control. The first flow channel switching member 241 and the second flow channel switching member 242 change the flow channel by the pairing operation. In one embodiment, the first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 may be members that rotate around an axis, or may be any mechanism that selectively changes the flow path.

The first and second flow path switching members 241 and 242 block the second flow path 240 from the storage chamber 100 and communicate with the exhaust port 250 in the air cleaning mode (see fig. 5 and 7), and block the second flow path 240 from the storage chamber 100 and communicate with the exhaust port 250 in the laundry management mode (see fig. 6). That is, in the laundry management mode, the circulation air in the second flow path 240 flows into the inside of the storage chamber 100 through the circulation air inlet 141 provided on the upper side of the first flow path switching member 241, and the circulation air in the inside of the storage chamber 100 flows out to the second flow path 240 again through the circulation air outlet 142 provided on the upper side of the second flow path switching member 242, thereby being circulated. The details will be described in detail in the following operation modes.

The air outlet 250 receives the filtered external air from the second flow passage 240 and discharges the filtered external air to the outside. An exhaust valve 650 is provided outside the door 600 corresponding to the exhaust port 250 so as to be able to open and close the exhaust port 250. For example, the exhaust valve 650 may be opened and filtered outside air may be discharged from the exhaust port 250 in the air cleaning mode, and the exhaust valve 650 may be closed in the laundry management mode.

The heating part 260 performs a function for heating the receiving chamber 100. For example, the heating part 260 may be a heat pump, but is not limited thereto. In the air cleaning mode, the receiving chamber 100 is heated to about 50 to 70 degrees celsius by the heating part 260, and then receives the circulating air from the second flow path 240 through the circulating air inlet 141, thereby performing a function of removing contaminants and malodor substances of laundry and the like. The foregoing temperatures are examples, and are not limited thereto, and various changes may of course be made.

The water supply tank 270 retains water to be supplied to the humidification filter provided in the circulation filter unit 229. For this purpose, the feed water tank 270 is connected to the circulation filter unit 229 by a pipe. The condensed water tank 280 collects and accumulates condensed water generated from the receiving chamber 100, or collects and accumulates condensed water generated in a process in which saturated humid air generated from the receiving chamber 100 flows into the first flow passage 220, the second flow passage 240, or the like of the machine room 200 and is condensed. For this, the receiving chamber 100 and/or the first flow passage 220 and/or the second flow passage 220 are connected by a pipe.

In order to fill water or remove the filled condensed water, it is preferable that both the supply water tank 270 and the condensed water tank 280 are easily accessible to the user. For this reason, the supply water tank 270 and the condensate water tank 280 are preferably located on the front surface of the machine room 200, and a user can open the door 600 and easily remove the tanks by using handles provided on the tanks located below the exhaust port 250.

The case 500 forms the external appearance of the multifunctional receiving system.

The door 600 forms a front surface of the multifunctional receiving system, and a user can approach the inside of the receiving chamber 100 by opening the door 600. When the user opens the door 600, the inside of the storage chamber 100 is partially exposed in the storage chamber 100, and the exhaust port 250, the supply water tank 270, and the condensate water tank 280 are partially exposed in the machine room 200. However, the door 600 does not cover the suction port 210. The lowermost end of the door 600 is positioned more upward than the suction port 210. This is to enable air cleaning without opening the door 600 in the air cleaning mode.

A control portion 610 and an exhaust valve 650 are provided on an outer surface of the door 600. The control section 610 includes an input section where the user can select an operation mode and an output section where the current operation state can be output. The exhaust valve 650 communicates with the exhaust port 250 of the machine chamber 200, and opens only the exhaust valve 650 to discharge filtered outside air even if the door 600 is not opened in the air cleaning mode.

The door 600 is preferably formed of a semi-transparent mirror (half-mirror). This is to allow the user to be directly exposed to the laundry or the like located inside the storage chamber 100 as needed, and to perform a mirror function according to circumstances, thereby providing convenience to the user who takes out the laundry or the like from the storage chamber 100.

Description of operating modes for a multifunctional storage System

The operation mode of the multifunctional storing system according to the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 6 and 7.

First, the "laundry management mode" will be described with reference to fig. 6.

The laundry management mode is a mode for removing contaminants or malodor substances from laundry or the like located inside the receiving chamber 100. After the temperature of the storage chamber 100 is raised by the heating part 260, natural humid air is circulated as circulating air to make the interior of the storage chamber 100 a humid high-temperature environment, so that contaminants such as laundry and malodorous substances are removed together with the high-temperature humid air, and they flow into the machine chamber 200 and are discharged as condensed water.

In case that the user selects the laundry management mode, the exhaust valve 650 of the door 600 is closed and also the suction port 210 is closed. That is, in the laundry management mode, air in the storage chamber 100 is not actually discharged to the outside.

The heating unit 260 heats the storage chamber 100. The temperature of the receiving chamber 100 may be 50 to 70 degrees celsius, but is not limited thereto. The second flow path 240 communicates with the housing chamber 240 and the first flow path 220 and is blocked from the exhaust port 250 by the operation of the first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 of the machine chamber 200. The water in the water supply tank 270 is supplied to the humidification filter so that the humidification filter provided in the circulation filter unit 229 can contain moisture.

The fan unit 230 is operated while heating, or after heating to some extent. By the operation of the fan unit 230, the air inside the receiving chamber 100 flows into the second flow passage 240 through the circulating air outflow port 142, flows into the first flow passage 220 again, and then flows toward the fan unit 230. In this process, the air passes through the humidifying filter of the circulation filter unit 229 to become natural humidified air. The natural humidified air passes through the second flow passage 240 again and is supplied to the receiving chamber 100 via the circulating air inflow port 141.

This process is repeated while circulating air between the receiving chamber 100 and the machine chamber 200 continuously. The circulating air contains the pollutants or the malodor substances in the receiving chamber 100, and provides a comfortable environment to the user since they are not discharged to the outside. Meanwhile, if the circulation air containing the pollutants or the malodor substances once flows into the machine room 200, it is preferably filtered and condensed into condensed water in the circulation filter unit 229 and then collected in the condensed water tank 280, so that a re-contamination phenomenon in which the pollutants or the malodor substances are supplied to the storage room 100 again does not occur.

Next, the "air cleaning mode" will be described with reference to fig. 7.

The air cleaning mode is a mode in which the external air cleaning function is performed by operating only the machine room 200 independently of the receiving room 100. That is, the air cleaning mode is an operation mode as follows: since there is a possibility that clean clothes or the like may be present inside the storage chamber 100 in a state where the outside air is contaminated, the outside air does not flow into the storage chamber 100.

If the user selects the air cleaning mode, the exhaust valve 650 of the door 600 is opened and the suction port 210 is also opened.

The second flow path 240 communicates with the exhaust port 250 and is blocked from the housing chamber 100 and the first flow path 220 by the operation of the first flow path switching member 241 and the second flow path switching member 242 of the machine chamber 200. In this process, the housing chamber 100 becomes a space independent from the machine chamber 200.

The fan unit 230 is operated. By the operation of the fan unit 230, the external air flows into the first flow passage 220 via the suction port 210 and toward the fan unit 230. In the process of passing through the suction port 210, the external air is filtered by the cleaning filter unit 219 provided at the suction port 210. In the process of passing through the first flow passage 220, the external air can be further filtered by the circulation filter unit 229 provided at the first flow passage 220. At this time, the humidification filter provided to the circulation filter unit 229 can perform or not perform the humidification function according to the user selection. In the case of humidifying the external air, the supply water tank 270 supplies water to the humidification filters, similar to the laundry management mode. The filtered outside air passing through the fan unit 230 passes through the second flow passage 240 and is discharged to the outside through the exhaust port 250.

While repeating this process, the multifunctional storing system according to the present invention performs a function of an air cleaner. The external air continuously flows into the machine room 200 and is filtered, and the filtered air is continuously discharged.

It is preferable because the air cleaning mode can be performed regardless of whether the user opens the door 600. During the air cleaning mode operation, the user can locate laundry or the like inside the receiving chamber 100 or take out the laundry or the like by freely opening the door 600. The supply water tank 279 can be filled with water at any time and the water in the condensate water tank 280 can be discharged. Since the door 600 does not cover the suction port 210 and the exhaust port 250 is in an open state inside the door 600, the opening of the door 600 does not affect the air cleaning mode operation.

The user can confirm whether the air cleaning mode or the laundry management mode is currently operated by confirming only whether the exhaust valve 650 is opened, even in a position away from the multi-function system, i.e., a position where the control portion 610 is not clearly seen.

Even in the case where the filter is contaminated due to the continuous operation of the air cleaning mode and the laundry management mode, etc., the user can easily replace the filter. In case of cleaning the filter unit 219, the cleaning filter unit 219 is replaced by inserting a hand into the suction port 210 of the lower side of the door 600. In the case of the circulation filter unit 229, the circulation filter unit 229 is replaced with the circulation filter attachment/detachment unit 129 by opening the door 600.

Air spitting structure of multifunctional storage system for dusting clothes

An air discharge structure toward the inside of the storage chamber of the multi-functional storage system according to the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 8 to 12. For reference, it is explicitly noted that the air discharge port 330 is a structure generally called a first air discharge port 332 and a second air discharge port 334 formed in a pair, respectively.

The first and second air discharge ports 332 and 334 are provided in the first and second side surfaces 102 and 104 of the two side surfaces of the door 600 facing each other with one surface of the storage chamber 100 as a reference.

Specifically, a pair of first air discharge ports 332 are provided, and one first air discharge port 332 is provided in each of the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 104. In this way, since the first air ejection ports 332 are located in the directions facing each other, the air can be ejected in the directions facing each other. In this case, the pair of first air discharge ports 332 may be disposed at different heights from each other with respect to the bottom surface of the storage chamber 100, and the pair of first air discharge ports 332 may be alternately disposed with respect to each other with respect to the plane.

In this way, while the first air outlet 332 disposed on the first side surface 102 pushes the clothes hung on the hanger 310 in the direction of the second side surface 104, the first air outlet 332 disposed on the second side surface 104 pushes the clothes hung on the hanger 310 in the direction of the first side surface 102, and the clothes can be shaken in the directions of the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 104. Since the laundry hung on the hanger part 320 vibrates in the direction of the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 104, the effect of removing dust attached to the laundry is exerted.

The second air discharge port 334 also vibrates the laundry by the air discharged by the same principle as that of the first air discharge port 332 described above. In order to maximize the vibration applied to the laundry, the second air discharge opening 334 is arranged on the first side 102 in the diagonal direction of the first air discharge opening 332, and so on.

In fig. 8 to 12, for convenience of explanation, only a pair of the first air ejection port 332 and the second air ejection port 334 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and it is explicitly pointed out that more air ejection ports may be provided at positions staggered from each other on different heights and planes.

The multifunctional receiving system according to the present invention includes an air blowing module 300 located at an upper end portion of the receiving chamber 100, and the air blowing module 300 includes a supply flow path 340, a first discharge flow path 342, a second discharge flow path 344, and a flow path switching member 346.

The supply path 340 is communicated with the blowing fan 320 and the air supplied by the blowing fan 320 reaches first, and both the first discharge path 342 and the second discharge path 344 are communicated with the supply path 340.

The first discharge passage 342 communicates with the supply passage 340 and the first air discharge port 332, respectively, and the second discharge passage 344 communicates with the supply passage 340 and the second air discharge port 334, respectively. That is, the air discharged from the first air discharge port 332 flows through the blower fan 320, the supply flow path 340, and the first discharge flow path 342 in this order, and the principle of the second air discharge port 334 is the same, and therefore, the description thereof is omitted.

When the air is discharged from the first air discharge port 332 and the second air discharge port 334 at the same time, the vibration applied to the laundry via the discharged air may be attenuated, and therefore the first air discharge port 332 and the second air discharge port 334 are formed to alternately discharge the air.

Therefore, the flow path switching member 346 provided in the blower module 300 selectively communicates the air supplied to the supply flow path 340 to the first discharge flow path 342 or the second discharge flow path 344.

Referring to fig. 9, the flow path switching member 346 provided on the left side with respect to the plane is moved forward, thereby blocking the air from flowing to the first discharge flow path 342 and allowing the air to flow only to the second discharge flow path 344. On the other hand, the flow path switching member 346 provided on the right side is moved to the rear side, thereby blocking the flow of air to the first discharge flow path 342 and allowing the flow of air to the second discharge flow path 344.

Referring to fig. 10, a pair of first discharge channels 342 are formed and arranged to be embedded in the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 104, respectively, and a pair of second discharge channels 344 is formed similarly.

Referring to fig. 11, the first air discharge port 332 and the second air discharge port 334 are formed to discharge air so as to have a predetermined angle with respect to a plane. This is because, in order to apply stronger vibration to the laundry hung on the laundry rack portion 310, it is preferable that the extensions of the directions of the air discharged from the first air discharge openings 332 be parallel to each other, and the principle of the second air discharge openings 334 is also the same.

The hanger 310 includes a support frame 312 and a hanger frame 314, and the support frame 312 preferably extends in a direction connecting the first side surface 102 and the second side surface 104 in consideration of the opening/closing direction of the door 600. Further, since the hanger frame 314 is formed in a direction in which the front of the laundry is opposite to the first side 102 or the second side 104, it is possible to maximize the vibration and twist applied to the laundry due to the air discharged from the first and second air discharge openings 332 and 334.

The hanger frame 314 in fig. 8 only shows an inverted Y shape for a jacket hanger of clothing, but may be any shape if it is a shape for a trouser hanger or a shape fixed for brushing bedding other than clothing.

Operation of air discharge ports

The "clothes dusting mode" other than the above-described modes will be described. This mode is a mode for easily removing fine dust or foreign matter attached to clothes worn by a user when the user goes out. The mode refers to the following mode: in a closed indoor space, when a user freely performs clothes dusting on clothes stained with dust or foreign matters, the dust or foreign matters may float in the indoor space, and thus the clothes dusting is performed in a multifunctional system.

Since the humidifying or dehumidifying of the receiving chamber 100 is not performed in the clothes dusting mode, the machine chamber 200 is not operated in the clothes dusting mode and only the air blowing module 300 disposed at the upper end of the receiving chamber 100 is operated.

The case where the air blowing module 300 and the air outlets 332 and 334 are operated in the "clothes management mode" will be described. In the laundry management mode, the humidification and dehumidification of the receiving chamber 100 are repeatedly performed using the dehumidification part 260 and the circulation filter unit 229, and in this process, the operation of the blower module 300 is performed independently of the operation of the machine chamber 200 in order to enhance the humidification efficiency and the dehumidification efficiency.

That is, the humidification or dehumidification of the storage chamber 100 is performed, and the air blowing fan 320 of the air blowing module 300 is operated to alternately discharge air to the first air discharge port 332 and the second air discharge port 334, so that the clothes hung on the clothes rack 310 are vibrated in the left-right direction by the discharged air.

When humidification is performed by the circulation filter unit 229 in the laundry management mode, since the state of the laundry is not a fixed state but continuously shaken in the left and right directions, it is possible to increase the contact area of the natural humidified air with the laundry. In addition, in the case where dehumidification is performed by the dehumidification portion 260 in the laundry management mode, the contact area between the dry air and the laundry can be increased similarly.

Therefore, the humidifying and dehumidifying time of the clothes can be shortened, and the humidifying and dehumidifying effect can be enhanced.

In addition, when the user executes the laundry management mode start command, the laundry is first grayed by operating the blower fan 320 for a predetermined time, and when the predetermined time elapses, the dehumidifying part 260 and the circulation filter unit 299 can be selectively operated from this time to perform dehumidification and humidification.

While the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, which are intended to enable those skilled in the art to easily understand and reproduce the present invention, the present invention is merely exemplary, and it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications may be made to the embodiments of the present invention and other equivalent embodiments may be implemented. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined from the following claims.
