Clothing treatment system

Abstract

This clothing treatment system comprises a first clothing treatment apparatus and a second clothing treatment apparatus provided on the first clothing treatment apparatus. The second clothing treatment system comprises: a housing; a drum to be provided in the housing to be rotatable; a heat exchanger to be provided in the housing; a first opening to be provided in the front surface of the housing to be connected to the drum; a second opening to be provided in the front surface of the housing so as to access the heat exchanger; and a cover door which includes a rotating shaft extending along the vertical direction of the clothing treatment system. The cover door opens/closes the second opening that is provided on the front surface of the housing by rotating about the rotating shaft.

1 . A clothing treatment system comprising
 a first clothing treatment apparatus; and   a second clothing treatment apparatus to be provided on an upper side of the first clothing treatment apparatus,   wherein the second clothing treatment apparatus includes:
 a housing, 
 a drum rotatable while inside the housing, 
 a heat exchanger to be provided inside the housing, 
 a first opening to be provided on a front surface of the housing to be connected to the drum, 
 a second opening to be provided on the front surface of the housing to allow access to the heat exchanger, and 
 a cover door, including a rotating shaft extending along a vertical direction of the clothing treatment system, configured to open and close the second opening that is provided on the front surface of the housing by rotating around the rotating shaft. 
   
     
     
         2 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein a rotation angle of the cover door is greater than or equal to 180 degrees such that, based on the second opening being open, the cover door is positioned on a side of the second opening. 
     
     
         3 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover door is provided to be spaced a predetermined distance forward from the second opening based on the second opening being open. 
     
     
         4 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover door is configured to open the second opening by being moved forward of the second opening and subsequently being rotated around the rotating shaft. 
     
     
         5 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 4 , wherein based on the cover door being moved forward of the second opening, the rotating shaft is secured in position, which allows the cover door to rotate around the rotating shaft. 
     
     
         6 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the cover door further includes a hinge link to connect the rotating shaft to a point outside the cover door. 
     
     
         7 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 6 , wherein the cover door further includes a link stopper to be provided at one end of the hinge link, and
 while the link stopper is provided at the one end of the hinge link, the link stopper is configured to limit a forward movement range of the cover door.   
     
     
         8 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 7 , wherein the second clothing treatment apparatus further includes a device accommodating part including a link hole, into which the hinge link is insertable, and provided at an inner side of the second opening. 
     
     
         9 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 8 , wherein the link stopper is configured to be caught on the link hole, and
 the forward movement range of the cover door is restricted by the link stopper being caught on the link hole.   
     
     
         10 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 8 , wherein a width of the link hole along an upper to lower direction is d1, a width of the hinge link along the upper to lower direction is d2, and a width of the link stopper along the upper to lower direction is d3, and
 d2, d1, and d3 satisfy d2<d1<d3.   
     
     
         11 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 1 , wherein the rotating shaft of the cover door includes a rotating part configured to rotate relative to the cover door and a support part, which is rotatable, and configured to support the rotating part. 
     
     
         12 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 6 , wherein the hinge link is in an oval shape and extends from the rotating shaft to the point outside the cover door. 
     
     
         13 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 8 , wherein the cover door further includes a coupling protrusion, and
 the device accommodating part further includes a coupling protrusion holder configured to fix or release the coupling protrusion.   
     
     
         14 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 8 , wherein the second clothing treatment apparatus further includes:
 a filter device configured to filter out foreign substances from air moving from the drum to the heat exchanger, the filter device being coupleable to and decoupleable from the device accommodating part, and   a dehumidifying device configured to guide air discharged from the drum to an outside of the housing and guide air from the outside of the housing to the heat exchanger, and the dehumidifying device being coupleable to and decoupleable from the device accommodating part.   
     
     
         15 . The clothing treatment system of  claim 14 , wherein one of the filter device and the dehumidifying device is accommodated in the device accommodating part.
