    [0050] Support panel 117 may define a surface extending parallel with a surface defined by side panel 116 and may be coupled to both side surfaces of front panel 112. Alternatively, support panel 117 and front panel 112 can be integrated with each other. In this case, the front panel 112 and the support panel 117 can be simultaneously coupled to the frame 111 by a reinforcing member 114, thereby simplifying an assembly process. Strengthening member 114 may be provided on or both of the side surfaces of front panel 112 to maintain the tilt angle of front panel 112 and strengthen the connection of front panel 112. In this case, backing panel 117 may be secured to the reinforcement member 114.
    [0051] As shown in FIGURE 4, the basket 130 may be provided with a basket inserting port 132 corresponding to the inserting port 113 and the drum 140 may be provided with a drum inserting port 142 corresponding to the inserting port 113 and basket inserting access 132. Therefore, the user can open inserting access 113 by opening door 120 and then inserting garments in or removing them from drum 140 via basket inserting access 132 and the access. of drum introduction 142.
    [0052] A gasket 150 may be provided between the insert port 113 and the basket insert port 132. The gasket 150 may not only prevent transfer of vibration from the basket 130 to the cabinet 110, but also prevent wash water from leaking out. of the basket 130.
    [0053] To facilitate the introduction and removal of the garment, the basket 130 and the drum 140 can be arranged to be tilted at a predetermined angle in the cabinet 110. In this case, the basket inserting access 132, the drum inserting access 142 and insert port 113 can be arranged to extend parallel with the sloping surface of the front panel 112. In the case where the sloping surface of the front panel is perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the drum, the angle of inclination of the basket 130 and the drum 140 with respect to the ground (or a horizontal line) may be equal to the angle of inclination of the front panel 112 with respect to a line perpendicular to the ground.
    [0054] Door 120 may be pivotally provided to, on or on front panel 112 to open and close insert port 113, basket insert port 132 and drum insert port 142.
    [0055] The unit 170 for rotating the drum 140 can be placed at the rear of the basket 130. The unit 170 may be provided with a stator fixed to a rear surface of the basket 130, a rotor arranged to surround the stator and a shaft of rotation arranged to penetrate the rear of the basket 130 to connect the drum 140 with the rotor.
    [0056] A detergent storage module 190 for storing the detergent and supplying the stored detergent to the basket 130 when the water supply device 160 supplies washing water can additionally be provided in the cabinet 110. The storage module for detergent 190 may be provided with a storage body 194 arranged in an upper portion of the introduce port 132 for storing the detergent and a basket supply duct 196 which allows the storage body 194 to communicate with the basket 130 therethrough. . In this case, the water supply device 160 may be provided with a water supply channel 162 for connecting a water supply source located outside the garment treatment apparatus 100 with the storage body 194 and a supply valve. water 164 to open and close the water supply channel 162.
    [0057] The detergent storage module 190 can be formed in the form of a drawer that allows the storage body 194 to be removed from the cabinet. In this case, the basket supply duct 196 may need to be formed of a structure or material that allows a length of the basket supply duct 196 to be varied.
    [0058] In the case where the storage body 194 is fixed to an interior of the cabinet 110 and thus is not removed from the cabinet, the top panel 119 may be provided with a door 192 (see FIGURE 3) to open and close the storage body 194.
    [0059] The detergent storage module 190 can be distinguished from the detergent supply module 200 with respect to installation position and manner of supplying the detergent. That is, the detergent storage module 190 can be positioned in the upper portion of the introduce port 113, while the detergent supply module 200 can be positioned in a lower portion of the introduce port 113. In addition, the storage module of detergent 190 can supply the detergent stored in the basket 130 through the water supply device 160, while the detergent supply module 200 can supply the detergent stored in the basket 130 through the detergent pumps 211 and 213. Therefore, detergent can remain in detergent storage module 190 for a very short time, while detergent supply module 200 may be able to store detergent for a long time. In addition, detergent storage module 190 may allow both liquid detergent and powder detergent to be stored therein, while detergent supply module 200 may allow only liquid detergent to be stored therein, unless a dissolving device. separate detergent is provided.
    [0060] The drainage device 180 can serve to discharge the washing water contained in the basket 130 from the cabinet 110. The drainage device 180 can be provided with a first drainage channel 181 for connecting the basket 130 with a pump for drain 185 and a second drain channel 183 for guiding the wash water discharged from the drain pump 185 out of the cabinet 110. The first drain channel 181 may be provided with a filter 189 to filter the wash water flowing into the drain pump 185. To allow the user to easily remove impurities remaining in the filter 189, the filter 189 can be detachably provided in the first drain channel 181. In addition, to allow the user to easily replace the filter 189, the filter 189 may be positioned over or in the opening 115 where the detergent delivery module 200 is positioned, a detailed description of which will be provided below.
    [0061] As shown in FIGURES 5A and 5B, the detergent supply module 200 can be arranged over or in the opening 115 to store detergent therein and to supply the stored detergent to the basket 130 through the detergent storage module 190. Alternatively, the detergent supply module 200 can be arranged to directly supply detergent to the basket 130.
    [0062] The opening 115 can be defined as the space formed by the support panel 117 provided on or on both side surfaces of the front panel 112 and a lower surface of the front panel 112. In this case, a front surface of the first treatment apparatus 100a can be formed by front panel 112 and detergent delivery module 200. In the case where the front surface of cabinet 110 is formed only by front panel 112, opening 115 can be defined as a hole (provided separately from the access. insert 113) formed in the lower portion of insert port 113 to penetrate front panel 112, as opposed to the view in FIGURE 5. That is, front panel 112 may be provided with a first region having insert port 113 and a second region positioned in a lower portion of the first region and provided with the opening 115. In this case, the door 120 for opening and closing the introduction port 113 can be swivelly provided. operating in the first region and the detergent supply module 200 can be provided in the second region.
    [0063] In any of the above cases, the detergent supply module 200 can be arranged in the lower portion of the insert port 113 to open and close the opening 115. Additionally, the detergent supply module 200 can be provided with a module panel 210 coupled to lower installation surface 111b of frame 111, a module port 220 swivelably provided to, on or on module panel 210, and a container 230 provided on, on or on module port 220 for provide a space in which the detergent can be stored. As the detergent supply module 200 is attached to the first treatment apparatus 100a by coupling the module panel 210 to the frame 111, assembly of the detergent supply module 200 can be simplified.
    [0064] The module door 220, which may serve to open and close the opening 115, may include an accommodation frame 221 coupled to a hinge 227 of the module panel 210 and adapted to accommodate the container 230. The hinge 227 may be provided to couple a lower surface of the module door 220 to the module panel 210, and the module door 220 is detachable from the cabinet 110 through a first fastening portion 223. The first fastening portion 223 may include a latch 223a provided. a or in one of module door 220 or cabinet 110 and a lock slot 223b provided to or in the other of module door 220 or cabinet 110 to accommodate lock 223a. Latch 223a and latch groove 223b may be in the form of a button.
    [0065] Latch 223a and latch slot 223b can be arranged in any position on module port 220 as long as the above functions are possible. In FIGURE 5, latch 223a and latch groove 223b are arranged in an upper portion of module port 220 as an example.
    [0066] The module port 220 may additionally include a second clamping portion 225 for adjusting a rotation angle of the module port 220. The second clamping portion 225 may also be arranged in any position on the module port 220 provided that the above function is possible. In FIGURE 5, second securing portion 225 is arranged on both side surfaces of module door 220, as an example.
    [0067] The second attachment portion 225 can be provided with an extension bar 225a (see FIGURE 6) that extends from a side surface of the module door 220 towards the opening 115, a protrusion 225b protruding the from extension bar 225a and a cover 225c provided to, on or over cabinet 110 which allows protrusion 225b to be detachably coupled therein.
    [0068] The cover 225c can be formed to protrude from an inner circumferential surface of the support panel 117, and the extension bar 225a and the protrusion 225b can be integrated with each other. At least one of extension bar 225a, protrusion 225b or cap 225c may be formed of an elastically deformable material. Extension bar 225a may be formed of an elastically deformable material. When the user presses the module door 220 towards the opening 115 such that the module door 220 closes the opening 115 (for example, with the latch 223a coupled to the latch groove 223b), coupling between the latch 223a and the locking slot 223b can be released and module door 220 can pivot away from cabinet 110. When module door 220 pivots away from cabinet 110, extension bar 225a and protrusion 225b of second clamping portion may also become move away from cabinet 110. Once protrusion 225b is coupled to cover 225c, rotation of module door 220 can be stopped, and thus module door 220 can maintain a first angle of rotation (a first operation of the module port). The first angle can be set to an angle where an upper surface of container 230 provided at, on or in module door 220 can remain exposed outside opening 115 (see FIGURE 5A). When the user pulls module door 220 away from cabinet 110 with module door 220's first operation completed, module door 220 can perform a second operation (see FIGURE 5B). When the module door 220 is pulled by the user, the extension bar 225a can be elastically deformed and, thereby, coupling between the protrusion 225b and the cover 225c can be released. Once the coupling between the protrusion 225b and the cover 225c is released, the module port 220 can be rotated by or to a second angle. The second angle can be adjusted to an angle at which filter 189 detachably provided to or on module panel 210 is exposed. In this case, the first treatment apparatus 100a can additionally be provided with a second cover (not shown) for supporting the module door 220, such that the module door 220 can be held at the second angle. The second cover may be provided on or on hinge 227 that couples module port 220 with module panel 210, or may be provided on or on a plate to support module port 220 on a lower surface of cabinet 110. FIGURE 5B exemplarily shows the second angle set at an angle where the module door 220 extends substantially parallel to the ground.
    [0069] However, to prevent the module door 220 from turning abruptly during the first operation and the second operation, the first treatment apparatus 100a can additionally be provided with a damper (not shown). The damper can be a cylinder or an elastic member. In the case where detergent is contained in the container 230, the module door 220 may be turned abruptly due to a weight of the detergent and the container 230. In this case, there may be a risk that the container 230 is separated from the module door 220 .The damper serves to address this risk.
    [0070] When the module door 220 is rotated to the first angle (by the first operation), the container 230 can be exposed to the outside of the first treatment apparatus 100a and therefore the user can check an amount of the stored detergent in container 230 a need to clean the container. If necessary, the container 230 can be separated from the first treatment apparatus 100a. If the module door 220 is rotated to the second angle (by the second operation), the filter 189 can be exposed to the outside of the first treatment apparatus 100a and, therefore, the user can replace or rinse the filter 189.
    [0071] The container 230 provided to, on or in the module port 220 can be adapted to contain only one type of detergent. Alternatively, container 230 can be adapted to hold two or more types of detergents. That is, as shown in FIGURE 6, container 230 may be provided with a first container 231 for storing a first detergent and a second container 233 for storing a second detergent, which may be a detergent of a different type than the first. detergent or can be provided with three or more containers. In this case, the accommodation frame 221 may be provided with a first accommodation portion 221a to accommodate the first container 231 and a second accommodation portion 221b to accommodate the second container 233. The first accommodation portion 221a and the second accommodation portion 221b can be separated from each other by a partition wall that divides an internal space provided by the accommodation frame 221.
    [0072] The first container 231 and the second container 233 may be detachably provided for the respective accommodation portions 221a and 221b. In this case, each of the containers 231 and 233 may be provided with a detergent discharge duct 235 to discharge the detergent stored in the container 231 and 233 to the housing portion 221a and 221b.
    [0073] That is, a bottom surface 236 of the first container 231 may be provided with a first detergent discharge duct 235a to discharge the detergent stored in the first container 231 to the first accommodation portion 221a and a bottom surface of the second container 233 may be provided with a second detergent discharge duct 235b for discharging the detergent stored in the second container 233 to the second housing portion 221b. The first detergent discharge duct 235a and the second detergent discharge duct 235b may be provided with a structure for discharging the detergent stored in the container 231 and 233 to each of the accommodation portions 221a and 221b when the containers 231 and 233 are respectively inserted in the accommodation portions 221a and 221b.
    [0074] An upper surface 232 of the first container 231 may be provided with a first detergent introducing port 232a for supplying the first detergent and a lid 232b for opening and closing the first detergent introducing port 232a. The upper surface 234 of the second container 233 may be provided with a second detergent introducing port 234a for dispensing the second detergent and a lid 234b for opening and closing the second detergent introducing port 234a.
    [0075] At least one of the top surface 232 and 234 and the lid 232b and 234b of each container may be formed of a transparent material. In the case where the top surface 232 and 234 of each container is formed of a transparent material, an entire top surface need not be formed of the transparent material. That is, at least an area of the upper surface 232 and 234 can be formed from the transparent material.
    [0076] Additionally, the upper portion of each container 231 and 233 may have a larger cross-sectional area than a lower portion of each container 231 and 233. In addition, each container may be formed such that a cross-sectional area transverse of these decreases from the top surface 232 and 234 to the bottom surface 236.
    [0077] Therefore, the user can check an amount of detergent stored in each container 231 and 233 and a degree of contamination of an interior of each container through the transparent top surface 232 and 234 or lid 232b and 234b. Furthermore, as the top portion of each container has a larger cross-sectional area than the bottom portion thereof, the user can check an entire interior of each container 231 and 233 at a glance through the transparent top surface 232 and 234 or cap 232b and 234b and thus invisible zones in the interior space of the container can be eliminated. Additionally, the top surface 232 and 234 of each container may be detachably provided for each container. This allows rinsing the interior of each container 231 and 233 without separating each accommodation portion 221a and 221b from the corresponding container.
    [0078] In the case where a liquid detergent (the first detergent) to remove contaminants from clothing is stored in the first container 231 and a fabric softener (the second detergent) is stored in the second container 233, a volume of the second container 233 may be less than a volume of the first container 231.
    [0079] As the consumption of the second detergent can generally be less than the consumption of the first detergent, a volume of the detergent supply module 200 can be minimized where the filter 189 is coupled to the module panel 210, such that it is positioned in the lower portion of the second container 233.
    [0080] Detergent pumps 211 and 213 for supplying the detergents stored in container 230 to detergent storage module 190 can be attached to module panel 210, to which module port 220 can be pivotally coupled. Additionally, module panel 210 may be provided with a filter connecting hole 219 in which filter 189 may be detachably accommodated.
    [0081] The module panel 210 may have any shape that allows the module panel 210 to be attached to the lower installation surface 111b. As the filter connection hole 219 supports the filter 189 by penetrating the module panel 210, the user can detach the filter 189 or attach it to the drain device 180 through the filter connection hole 219.
    [0082] Detergents stored in the respective containers 231 and 233 can be introduced into the detergent pumps 211 and 213 through pump connection ducts 215 and 217. Detergents discharged from the detergent pumps are guided to the detergent storage module detergent 190 through detergent supply ducts 212 and 214. In the case where the container includes the first container 231 and the second container 233, the detergent pumps may include the first detergent pump 211, which can communicate with the first container 231, and second detergent pump 213, which can communicate with second container 233.
    [0083] The first detergent pump 211 can be connected to the first accommodation portion 221a through the first pump connection channel 215 and the second detergent pump 213 can be connected to the second accommodation portion 221b through the second connection duct pump 217. As the containers 231 and 233 are respectively provided with detergent discharge ducts 235a and 235b for discharging the detergents to the accommodation portions 221a and 221b, the detergents discharged from the containers to the accommodation portions 221a and 221b can be respectively supplied to the detergent pumps 211 and 213 through the pump connection ducts 215 and 217.
    [0084] Detergent discharge ducts 235a and 235b can be arranged to directly discharge the detergents to the pump connection ducts 215 and 217. In this case, the detergent discharge ducts 235a and 235b can discharge the detergents to the ducts of pump connection 215 and 217 when containers 231 and 233 are respectively inserted into housing portions 221a and 221b.
    [0085] Detergent introduced to the first detergent pump 211 can be supplied to the detergent storage module 190 through the first detergent supply duct 212, while the detergent introduced to the second detergent pump 213 can be supplied to the detergent module detergent storage 190 through the second detergent supply duct 214. Unlike the configuration described above, the first detergent supply duct 212 can connect the first detergent pump 211 to the basket 130 and the second detergent supply duct 214 can connect the second detergent pump 213 to basket 130.
    [0086] The module panel 210 can be provided with a connecting duct hole 218 which the pump connecting ducts 215 and 217 can penetrate. Connecting duct hole 218 can be formed in a lower end of module panel 210.
    [0087] Detergent pumps 211 and 213 can be fixed to, on or on a rear surface of module panel 210 and container 230 can be positioned on, on or on a front surface of module panel 210 (in the space between module panel 210 and module port 220). Therefore, the connecting duct hole 218 can serve to prevent the pump connecting ducts 215 and 217 from being separated from the detergent pumps 211 and 213 when the module port 220 rotates.
    [0088] Furthermore, the pump connection ducts 215 and 217 can be formed of a flexible material. Pump connecting ducts 215 and 217 can be long enough to connect detergent pumps 211 and 213, respectively, to housing portions 221a and 221b even when module door 220 is rotated to the second angle.
    [0089] The connecting duct hole 218 can additionally be provided with a cable (not shown) to secure the pump connecting ducts 215 and 217 to the module panel 210. This can serve to maintain the lengths of portions of the pump connection ducts 215 and 217 positioned between connection duct hole 218 and constant detergent pumps 211 and 213 to prevent entanglement of pump connection ducts 215 and 217 during rotation of module port 220.
    [0090] FIGURE 7 is a schematic view of a detergent delivery module according to another embodiment. In the first treatment apparatus 100a provided with the detergent supply module 200, the filter 189 can be separated from the drain device 180 only when the module door 220 is opened. FIGURE 7 illustrates a case where filter 189 is detachable from drain device 180 without opening module door 220.
    [0091] The detergent supply module 200 of FIGURE 7 may additionally include a communication port 228 formed to penetrate the module port 220 and arranged in a position corresponding to that of the filter 189 and a communication port cover 229 for opening and closing the communication port 228. To minimize a volume of the detergent delivery module 200, the filter 189 can be positioned in the lower portion of the second container 233. The communication port 228 can be arranged to penetrate the module port 220 positioned in the lower portion of the second container 233.
    [0092] In this mode, the filter 189 can be exposed through the communication hole 228 when the communication hole cover 229 is separated from the module port 220. Therefore, the user can separate the filter 189 from the drain device 180 without open the 220 module door.
    [0093] While container 230 is illustrated as being detachably provided to, on or in module port 220, container 230 may be detachably provided to, on or in module panel 210 or cabinet 110. wherein the container 230 is detachably provided to, on or on the module panel 210, the accommodating frame 221 may be provided on, on or on the module panel 210. However, in the case where the container 230 is provided with a detachably from, on, or in cabinet 110, lower installation surface 111b of cabinet 110 may perform the function of module panel 210, and module panel 210 may be omitted. That is, the housing frame 221 and the detergent pumps 211 and 213 may be provided to, on or on the lower installation surface 111b (or the cabinet 110) and the filter 189 may be detachably attached to the lower installation surface. 111b.
    [0094] Additionally, the container 230 can be attached to one of the module port 220, the module panel 210 or the cabinet 110. In the case where the container 230 is attached to either the module port 220 or the module panel 210, the accommodation frame 221 can be omitted and the detergent pumps 211 and 213 can be respectively attached to the containers 231 and 233. On the other hand, in the case where the container 230 is attached to the cabinet 110, the module panel 210 can be omitted and the container 230 can be attached to the lower installation surface 111b of the cabinet 110. In this case, the accommodation frame 221 can be omitted and the detergent pumps 211 and 213 can be respectively attached to the containers 231 and 233.
    [0095] The detergent pumps 211 and 213 provided to or by the detergent supply module 200 may have any shape that allows the detergent pumps 211 and 213 to supply the detergent stored in the container 230 to the basket 130 or the storage module of detergent 190. That is, the detergent pumps 211 and 213 can move a fluid by rotating a rotor or move the fluid by inducing a change in cross-sectional area of the detergent supply channel (as in a peristaltic pump) . Alternatively, the detergent pump can move the fluid through two rotating gears by being secured together.
    [0096] Furthermore, while the first detergent and the second detergent are illustrated as being supplied to the basket 130 through the first detergent supply duct 212 and the second detergent supply duct 214, the first detergent supply duct and the second detergent supply duct can be formed as a supply duct. In this case, the supply duct connected to the basket 130 or the detergent storage module 190 can be branched to be connected to the first detergent pump and the second detergent pump and a valve can be provided at the branch point of the supply duct .
    [0097] Subsequently, a process of assembling the first treatment apparatus 100a will be described with reference to FIGURES 3 and 8. FIGURE 8 is a flowchart of a process of assembling a detergent delivery module and cabinet according to an embodiment . In the process of assembling the first treatment apparatus 100a, first, the basket 130, the drum 140, a controller (not shown) and the drive device 170 can be installed on the frame 111 at step S110. Thereafter, side panel 116 can be installed on or both of the side surfaces of frame 111 at step S120 and module panel 210 can be attached to lower installation surface 111b at step S130. Fixing the module panel 210 to the lower installation surface 111b can be performed with the detergent pumps 211 and 213, the drain pump 185 and the drain filter 189 preconnected to the module panel 210 through a separate assembly process .
    [0098] After assembly of module panel 210 is completed, front panel 112 can be attached to upper installation surface 111a at step S140. In this case, the upper surface of the front panel 112 can be coupled to the upper mounting surface 111a and the lower surface of the front panel 112 can be attached to the upper portion of the module panel 210 by a separate fastener or fastener (not shown).
    [0099] The bracing member 114 provided on both side surfaces of the front panel 112 can be fixed to the frame 111. In this case, the front panel 112 can be firmly fixed to the frame 111 by the bracing member 114 and the tilt angle of the 112 front panel can be sustainable.
    [00100] After the installation of the front panel 112 is completed, the support panel 117 can be installed in step S150. Support panel 117 may be secured to gusset member 114 or frame 111. Support panel 117 may close the space defined between front panel 112 and side panel 116.
    [00101] After installation of support panel 117, top panel 119 can be installed on frame 111 at step S160. Installation of basket 130, drum 140, unit 170, water supply device 160, drain device 180 and detergent storage module 190 on frame 111 can be completed before installation of top panel 119. , installation of detergent supply ducts 212 and 214 provided between detergent pumps 211 and 213 and detergent storage module 190 can also be completed prior to installation of top panel 119.
    [00102] Coupling the 220 module port to the 210 module panel in step S170 may precede the installation of the top panel 119. Installation of the 220 module port in step S170 can be performed by coupling the 210 module panel to the module port 220 through hinge 227. Thereafter, door 120 can be installed on front panel 112 at step S180 and assembly of the first treatment apparatus can be completed.
    [00103] Thereafter, a process of delivering a detergent by the detergent delivery module 200 will be described with reference to FIGURE 9. FIGURE 9 is a schematic view of a flow channel through which detergent is stored in a detergent delivery module. detergent can be supplied to a basket.
    [00104] When detergent pumps 211 and 213 operate, detergents stored in containers 231 and 233 can be supplied to detergent pumps 211 and 213 through pump connection ducts 215 and 217 and detergents supplied to detergent pumps detergent 211 and 213 can be moved to storage body 194 provided to, on or in detergent storage module 190 through detergent supply ducts 212 and 214. As storage body 194 communicates with basket 130 through the basket supply duct 196, detergents moved from detergent supply module 200 to storage body 194 can be supplied to basket 130.
    [00105] In the above case, detergents cannot be stored in detergent storage module 190. User can supply a separate detergent to storage body 194 if necessary. In this case, the detergent in the storage body 194 can be supplied to the basket 130 by washing water supplied through the water supply device 160. The detergent supplied to the storage body 194 through the detergent supply module 200 can be supplied regardless of when wash water is supplied. Detergent can be supplied to the storage body 194 before the wash water is supplied or at the same time as when the wash water is supplied.
    [00106] In the case of the first treatment apparatus 100a configured as shown in FIGURE 9, the detergent supply ducts 212 and 214 may become clogged by detergents. In the structures shown in FIGURE 10, plugging of detergent supply ducts 212 and 214 can be treated.
