Abstract

Disclosed is laundry device having a steam generator (200), which prevents water from being excessively supplied to a case and steam generated from the case from adversely flowing toward a water supply valve (104), and removes overpressure due to steam generated in the case. A water oversupply prevention unit (220) for preventing the water from being excessively supplied to the case is a hollow floater, which moves vertically according to the amount of the water supplied to the case to open and close a water supply hole (211a). A backflow prevention unit (230) for preventing steam generated from the case from adversely flowing toward the water supply hole (211a) is a check valve, which allows the water to be supplied only to the inside of the case, prevents the steam generated from the case from flowing toward the water supply valve (104), and in installed between a water supply hole (211a) and the water supply valve (104). An air exhauster (400) for removing overpressure due to steam generated in the case is a relief valve (420), which is opened to remove overpressure due to steam generated in the case and is installed in a sub-pipe (410) branched from a steam supply pipe (106). Thereby, the steam generator is effectively operated, thus lengthening the lifespan of the laundry device and improving the reliability of
