CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240263383 titled 'CLOTHES TREATMENT APPARATUS

The patent application describes a clothes treatment apparatus that includes various components such as chambers, a blowing fan, a heat pump, a steamer, and a hanger bar to treat clothes effectively.

  • The apparatus has a first chamber for accommodating clothes and a second chamber under it.
  • A blowing fan is used to suction air from the first chamber.
  • A heat pump compresses a refrigerant for heat exchange with the air suctioned by the blowing fan and discharges the heat-exchanged air back into the first chamber.
  • A steamer generates and supplies steam to treat the clothes.
  • Water supply and drain tanks are included for water management.
  • A hanger bar holds the clothes in the first chamber.
  • A motor, vibrating body, and motion converter work together to allow the hanger bar to reciprocate.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in commercial laundry facilities to efficiently treat a large volume of clothes. - It can also be utilized in household appliances for convenient clothes treatment at home.

Problems Solved: - The apparatus addresses the need for a comprehensive clothes treatment solution that combines air suction, heat exchange, steam generation, and water management in a single device.

Benefits: - Saves time and energy by providing a complete clothes treatment solution in one apparatus. - Ensures effective treatment of clothes through a combination of air suction, heat exchange, steam generation, and water management.

Commercial Applications: "Revolutionizing Clothes Treatment: Innovative Apparatus for Efficient Laundry Solutions"

Frequently Updated Research: Ongoing research on optimizing the heat pump efficiency and improving the overall performance of the clothes treatment apparatus.

Questions about Clothes Treatment Apparatus: 1. How does the hanger bar reciprocate in the apparatus?

  - The hanger bar reciprocates through the motion converter that converts the vibration of the vibrating body.

2. What is the capacity of the water supply and drain tanks in the apparatus?

  - The water supply and drain tanks have sufficient capacity to manage the water required for steam generation and condensation storage.


Original Abstract Submitted

a clothes treatment apparatus includes a first chamber for accommodating clothes, a second chamber under the first chamber, a blowing fan for suctioning air from the first chamber, a heat pump for compressing a refrigerant for heat exchange with the air suctioned by the blowing fan and discharging the heat-exchanged air to the first chamber, a steamer for generating and supplying steam, a water supply tank for supplying water to the steamer, a water drain tank for storing condensed water generated in the first chamber and the heat pump, a hanger bar positioned in the first chamber and configured to hold the clothes in the first chamber. the apparatus further includes a motor, a vibrating body for vibrating alternately in opposite rotation directions, and a motion converter for rotating together with the vibrating body and converting the vibration of the vibrating body to allow the hanger bar to reciprocate.
