Abstract

A hanger device according to the present disclosure may include a body having at least one opening to allow air to be pulled into the body and at least one discharge port to allow pulled air to be pushed out of the body. The body is configured to move away or toward a wall surface. A fan module is provided inside the body, and a filtering module disposed over the fan module. A hanging unit extends from a bottom surface of the body.

Claims (28)

1 . A hanger device comprising:

a body having at least one opening to allow air to be pulled into the body and at least one discharge port to allow pulled air to be pushed out of the body;

a support plate configured to be attached to a vertically extending wall surface; and

a moving unit configured to horizontally move the body from the wall, and including:

a pair of support rails horizontally extending from the support plate and penetrating the body;

a pair of guide rails fixed to the inside of the body and through which each of the pair of support rails passes; and

at least one motor configured to move the pair of guide rails relative to the pair of support rails;

a fan module provided inside the body;

a filtering module disposed over the fan module; and

a hanging unit extending from a bottom surface of the body.

2 . The hanger device of claim 1 , wherein the at least one motor comprises a pair of motors coupled to the pair of support rails to move the body, the moving unit further comprises:

a pinion coupled to a rotation shaft of each motor; and

a gear rack is formed on a bottom surface of each support rail.

3 . The hanger device of claim 1 , wherein the pair of support rails extends from the front left edge and the front right edge of the support plate, respectively, and the pair of support rails is inserted into the pair of guide rails provided inside the body.

4 . The hanger device of claim 1 , further comprising a sensor provided on a front surface of the support plate for detecting clothes hung on the hanging unit.

5 . The hanger device of claim 4 , wherein the sensor is an infrared sensor, the infrared sensor having an emitter mounted on one side of the front surface of the support plate, and a receiver mounted on the other side of the front surface of the support plate to receive the light emitted from the emitter.

6 . The hanger device of claim 1 , wherein the hanging unit comprises:

a pair of supports extending downward from the bottom surface of the body; and

a hanging bar connecting the pair of supports and located below the discharge port.

7 . The hanger device of claim 1 , wherein the moving unit comprises at least one of a motorized lead screw, a linear motor or an electric cylinder actuator configured for multi-stage withdrawal.

8 . The hanger device of claim 1 , wherein the filtering module includes at least one of a pre-filter or a HEPA filter.

9 . The hanger device of claim 1 , wherein the filtering module further includes at least one of:

a dehumidifying filter for absorbing moisture contained in the air being drawn, or

a deodorizing filter for removing order in the air being drawn in.

10 . The hanger device of claim 8 , further comprises at least one heater for heating the air being drawn in by the fan module.

11 . The hanger device of claim 1 , further comprising a steam supply device for supplying steam to the discharge port provided in the body.

12 . The hanger device of claim 8 further comprising a filter cleaner for removing foreign substances accumulated on the pre-filter.

13 . The hanger device of claim 6 , wherein each of the supports is configured to extend in length in a vertical direction.
