Abstract: Improvement in heat exchange efficiency can be promoted, a heat exchange can be efficiently performed, a space can be saved, and drying time can be shortened. A washing and drying machine includes a drum configured to accommodate clothes, a motor configured to drive the drum, a tub configured to accommodate the drum and store washing water, and a circulation flow path configured to circulate drying air into and out of the drum. A circulation duct constituting a part of the circulation flow path is connected to a converging portion configured to converge drying air. A dehumidifier is installed in one or more duct systems of the circulation duct. The washing and drying machine further includes a controller configured to control the dehumidifier and two duct cleaning pipes installed in branch ducts and configured to supply water to the dehumidifier.

Abstract: A clothes treating apparatus is provided. The apparatus includes a hanger on which clothes are hung and a blower unit having an air vent for blowing wind toward the clothes hung on the hanger. The hanger includes a supporter connected to the air vent of the blower unit, wherein a wind receiving space is formed inside the supporter, and a shoulder supporter extending from the supporter and forming a wind discharging space connected to the wind receiving space, wherein shoulder portions of the clothes are hung on the shoulder supporter. The wind discharging space includes a body wind path formed to blow wind toward a body portion of the clothes, and sleeve wind paths formed to blow wind toward sleeves of the clothes and diverging at an entrance of the body wind path. The body wind path includes an enlarged wind path portion which is formed at an exit of the body wind path and of which a wind path is enlarged downstream.

Abstract: The clothes dryer of the present disclosure includes a circulation air flow path communicating with the drum, a condensed water storage chamber communicating with the circulation air flow path and a pump chamber communicating with the condensed water storage chamber. The communication path introduces air into at least one of the first circulation air flow path and the pump chamber to reduce the pressure of the pump chamber by introducing air into the pump chamber or to introduce air into the condensed water storage chamber through the first circulation air flow path. Accordingly, there is an effect of increasing the air volume of the fan device while preventing backflow and scattering of the condensed water caused by dehumidification in the clothes dryer.
