Abstract

Disclosed is disclosure clothing treatment device capable of effectively preventing odour from reabsorbing to clothing. A clothing deodorizing device includes: a bag body for accommodating clothing; an ozone supply apparatus including an ozone generator and a blowing fan wherein the air supply fan operates to deliver the ozone generated by the ozone generator into the bag body by virtue of the flow of the air; and a control part for controlling operation of the ozone generator and the blowing fan. After performing deodorization operation that enables the ozone generator and the blowing fan to operate, the control part performs reabsorption preventing operation that enables the blowing fan to operate intermittently.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A clothing treatment device, comprising:
a bag body configured to accommodate clothing;
an ozone supply part comprising an ozone generator and a blowing fan, wherein the ozone generator is configured to generate ozone, and the blowing fan is configured to deliver the ozone generated by the ozone generator into the bag body by airflow; and
a control part configured to perform a second operation which enables the blowing fan to operate intermittently after performing a first operation which enables the ozone generator and the blowing fan to operate.

2. The clothing treatment device according to claim 1 , further comprising a detection part configured to detect whether a clothing throwing inlet disposed at the bag body is opened;
wherein the control part is further configured to end the second operation in response to determining that the second operation is performed for a specified time and the detection part detects that the throwing inlet is opened before the specified time expires.

3. The clothing treatment device according to claim 1 , further comprising an operation part configured to select operation time of the first operation from a first time and a second time longer than the first time;
wherein the control part is further configured to perform the second operation after the first operation is performed for the first time, and not to perform the second operation after the first operation is performed for the second time.

4. The clothing treatment device according to claim 1 , wherein the control part is further configured to start the second operation after a specified waiting time from an end of the first operation.

5. The clothing treatment device according to claim 2 , further comprising an operation part configured to select operation time of the first operation from a first time and a second time longer than the first time;
wherein the control part is further configured to perform the second operation after the first operation is performed for the first time, and not to perform the second operation after the first operation is performed for the second time.

6. The clothing treatment device according to claim 2 , wherein the control part is further configured to start the second operation after a specified waiting time from an end of the first operation.

7. The clothing treatment device according to claim 3 , wherein the control part is further configured to start the second operation after a specified waiting time from an end of the first operation.
