CLOTHING TREATMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17912785 titled 'CLOTHING TREATMENT APPARATUS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a clothing treatment apparatus that includes a cabinet with an inlet, a door to open and close the inlet, and a drum inside the cabinet that can rotate.

  • The drum has an elongated cylindrical shape and is heated by an induction heater located inside a first duct outside the drum.
  • A first fan supplies outside air to the first duct.
  • A second duct is connected to the first duct and extends from it towards the drum in a radially inward direction.
  • The outlet of the second duct is connected to the outer circumferential surface of a tubular extension part that extends from the inlet of the cabinet towards the drum.
  • The outlet of the second duct has a smaller area than the inlet.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Home laundry machines
  • Commercial laundry services
  • Dry cleaning services

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Efficient heating of the drum for effective clothing treatment
  • Improved airflow and circulation within the apparatus

Benefits of this technology:

  • Faster and more efficient clothing treatment
  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Improved cleaning and drying performance
