Abstract
A clothes treatment apparatus includes a frame; a hanger body configured to move with respect to the frame and provided to hang clothes or clothes hangers; a vibration module that generates vibrations by comprising at least one eccentric portion that rotates around at least one predetermined rotational axis in such a way that the weight is off-center, and that is connected to the hanger body to transmit the vibrations; and at least one elastic member that exerts an elastic force on the vibration module when the vibration module vibrates. The angular speed of the eccentric portion is changeable.
Claims15
A clothes treatment apparatus comprising:
- a cabinet;
- a treatment space located in the cabinet;
- a hanger body located in an upper portion of the treatment space and configured to hang the clothes and move along a predetermined vibration direction of the cabinet
- a vibration module that generates the vibrations and is connected to the hanger body to transmit vibrations, wherein the vibration module includes:
- at least one eccentric portion that rotates around each predetermined rotational axis of the at least one eccentric portion in such a way that each weight of the at least one eccentric portion is off-center;
- a vibrating body accommodating the at least one eccentric portion
- a motor that rotates the at least one eccentric portion;
- and
- a hanger driving unit connected to the vibrating body to transmit the vibrations to the hanger body, and
- a hanger driven unit connected to the hanger driving unit and configured to convert the vibrations into the reciprocating motion of the hanger body along the vibration direction.
