Clothes care apparatus

Abstract

This clothes care apparatus comprises: a main body having a care room; a blower configured to guide an airflow while provided in the main body; an inner door coupleable to the main body; and an outer door coupleable to the inner door, which forms, together with an inner door, accommodating space to accommodate clothes. The outer door including a clothes support member arranged to support clothes in the accommodating space, wherein the outer door is arranged to be rotatable with respect to the inner door so as to open and close the accommodating space. The inner door comprises a partition to separate the care room and the accommodating space and having an outlet hole to allow the airflow guided by the blower to be discharged toward clothes that are supported by the clothes support member.

         2 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the clothes support member is mounted on a rear surface of the outer door facing the inner door. 
     
     
         3 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the main body includes a communication hole at a rear of the outlet hole, and
 the airflow guided by the blower is discharged to the outlet hole through the communication hole.   
     
     
         4 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the inner door includes an inner door frame protruding from the partition toward the outer door and configured to form an edge of the inner door, and an discharge guider provided at a front of the outlet hole to guide airflow discharged through the outlet hole toward the clothes. 
     
     
         5 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the inner door includes a pressing plate configured to press the clothes supported by the clothes support member and a plate groove into which a part of the pressing plate is inserted. 
     
     
         6 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the pressing plate is configured to be movable from the plate groove toward the outer door. 
     
     
         7 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the inner door includes a pusher configured to push the pressing plate toward the outer door.  8  The clothes care apparatus of claim  7 , wherein the pusher includes a pusher base disposed at a rear of the pressing plate and configured to be moved in a forward and backward direction, and a connecting protrusion configured to connect the pressing plate and the pusher base to move the pressing plate in response to a movement of the pusher base, and
 the partition includes a pusher accommodating groove configured to accommodate the pusher base and formed by a portion of the partition while being spaced apart from the plate groove, and a guide hole configured to guide a movement of the connecting protrusion in the forward and backward direction. 
 
     
     
         9 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the inner door further includes an elastic member provided between the pressing plate and the partition to elastically bias the pressing plate from the partition to the outer door. 
     
     
         10 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the inner door includes a rail provided on side inner surfaces facing each other while forming the plate groove of the partition, and
 the pressing plate is configured to move toward the outer door along the rail.   
     
     
         11 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the inner door is connectable to a heating wire such that the partition transfers heat to the pressing plate to increase a temperature of the pressing plate. 
     
     
         12 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the main body further includes a water supply container configured to supply water to generate steam, and a drain container configured to collect water, and
 the inner door includes a withdrawal hole provided in a lower portion of the partition such that the water supply container and the drain container are withdrawn through the inner door while the inner door is closed.   
     
     
         13 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 6 , further comprising a controller configured to drive the pressing plate as the outer door closes the care room together with the inner door. 
     
     
         14 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a controller configured to control the clothes care apparatus,
 wherein the controller is configured to drive the blower as the inner door closes the care room.   
     
     
         15 . The clothes care apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the blower is a first blower, further comprising a second blower provided in the main body and controlled separately from the first blower to generate an airflow flowing into the accommodating space, and
 the controller is configured to drive the second blower as the outer door closes the care room together with the inner door.
