Abstract
A present invention relates to a fabric treating apparatus including an inside cabinet which forms a treating chamber in which the fabrics treated, and a heating unit for supplying any one between hot wind and steam to the treating chamber, and a driving unit for generating driving power, and a driving unit frame is disposed the upper side of the inside cabinet for fixing the driving unit, and a sealing unit is pressed by the driving unit frame and penetrates the driving unit frame and the inside cabinet.
Claims18
A fabric treating apparatus, comprising:
- an inside cabinet defining at least a portion of a treating chamber within which the fabrics are treated;
- a heating unit configured to supply heated air, or steam, or heated air and steam to the treating chamber;
- a driving unit, disposed outside the treating chamber, configured to generate a driving power;
- a power transmission unit, coupled to the driving unit, configured to transmit the driving power of the driving unit to an assembly within the treating chamber through an opening in a wall of the inside cabinet, wherein the power transmission unit comprises:
- a rotary shaft which penetrates the inside cabinet through the opening;
- a sealing unit configured to seal a gap in the opening between the power transmission unit and the inside cabinet, wherein the sealing unit comprises:
- a bearing assembly configured to support the rotary shaft;
- and
- a sealing tube having a first end and a second end spaced apart from the first end, the first end coupled to the bearing assembly and the second end coupled to the inside cabinet;
- a connecting rod coupled to the rotary shaft;
- and
- a hanger unit coupled to the connecting rod, wherein the hangar unit travels in a reciprocating direction when driven by the rotary shaft.
