The hanger memory 83 can store control information of the motor 51.

Referring to FIG. 19, the laundry treatment device 9 can be operated with the clothes hanging on the hanger H unfolded.

The door sensor 929 can detect whether the door 92 is open or closed. When the door is opened (S11), the control unit 99 can turn on the power of the hanger (H) (S12).

The weight sensors 79 and 119 can detect the weight of clothing hanging on a hanger. The control units 99 and 80 may determine whether clothes are hanging on the hanger based on the detection values of the weight sensors 79 and 119 (S13).

For example, if the weight detection value is greater than a preset value, it may be determined that clothes are stuck. For example, the preset value may be 0 or a value greater than 0.

When clothes are hung on a hanger and the door is closed (S14), the control unit (99, 80) detects the weight of the clothes through the weight sensors (79, 119) and stores the detected value (w1) in memory (83, 993). ) can be saved (S15).

The control units 99 and 80 may operate the motor 51 to move the clamp assembly 40 downward (S16).

The weight sensors 79 and 119 can detect the weight (w2) of clothing while operating the motor 51 (S17). Memories 83 and 993 can store w2.

The control units 80 and 99 may stop driving the motor based on w2 and w1. For example, if the w2 value is greater than w1, the motor can stop running. For example, if the w2 value is greater than w1 by a preset value, the motor can be stopped. The preset value may be stored in memory (83, 993).

Through this, the clothes processing device 9 can be operated with the clothes hanging on the hanger H unfolded.

Referring to FIG. 20, the operation of the clothing processing device 9 can be set and performed depending on whether the clothes hanging on the hangers H and H' are tops or bottoms.

A command to automatically set the administration may be input through the input unit 921. For example, when a standard course is input, the control unit can set and perform an operation of the clothing processing device 9 depending on whether the clothes hanging on the hangers H and H' are tops or bottoms.

The control units 80 and 99 can detect whether a top is hanging on the hangers H and H'. For example, the controllers 80 and 99 may determine whether clothing is hanging on the shoulder portion 10 based on the detection value of the first weight sensor 119. Through this, the control units 80 and 99 can determine whether a top is hanging on a hanger.

The control units 80 and 99 can detect whether bottoms are hung on the hangers H and H'. For example, the control units 80 and 99 may determine whether clothing is hanging on the trouser hanger 70 based on the detection value of the second weight sensor 79. Through this, the control units 80 and 99 can determine whether the bottoms are hanging on the hanger.

The control units 80 and 99 can determine whether the top is hanging (S21) and determine whether the bottoms are hanging (S22 and S24). However, this may be done at the same time, or first determine whether the bottoms are hung, and then determine whether the tops are hung.

If the control unit 80 determines that both the top and bottom are hung, it can set the corresponding complex stroke mode (S221).

If the control unit 80 determines that the top is hung and the bottom is not hung, it can set the coat administration mode (S231).

If the control unit 80 determines that the top is not hung and the bottoms are hung, it can set the pants administration mode (S241).

For example, in the pants stroke mode, the stroke time for the moving hanger to move may be short. For example, the trouser stroke mode may have a large amount of steam supplied. For example, in trouser stroke mode, the temperature of the supplied air may be high. For example, pants stroke mode may have a short drying time.

For example, the coat administration mode may be relatively opposite to the pants administration mode.

For example, the complex administrative mode may fall between the pants administrative mode and the coat administrative mode.

The control unit 80 may determine the number of hangers on which tops or bottoms are hanging (S222, S232, S242).

The control unit 80 may re-set the administrative mode by reflecting the quantity of clothing determined in the set administrative modes (S221, S231, and S241) (S25).

For example, as the quantity of clothing increases, the moving hanger movement time, amount of steam supplied, and drying time can be increased and the temperature of supplied air can be set higher in the previously set administrative mode (S221, S231, S241).

The control unit 80 may perform the set administrative mode (S26).

When the process is completed (S27), the door can be unlocked (S28) and the standard course can be ended.

Multiple hangers may be hung on the hanger 93.

A course can be input from the user through the input unit 921 (S30).

The weight sensor (79, 119) can detect the weight of clothing hanging on a hanger (S31).

The control unit 99 can calculate the number of hangers on which clothes are hung based on the detection value of the weight sensor (S32).

For example, the hanger communication unit 85 may transmit a signal related to the detection values of the weight sensors 79 and 119 to the main communication unit 995. The control unit 99 can calculate the number of hangers on which clothes are hung based on the signal received through the main communication unit 995.

The control unit 99 can set the steps included in the course (S331, S333, S335, S341, S343, S345, S351, S353) based on the input course and the number of hangers on which clothing is hung (S33, S34, S35). , S355).

For example, the greater the number of hangers on which clothes are hung, the faster the moving hanger can reciprocate, and the amount of steam and drying time generated by the steam generator 945 can be increased.

The control unit 80 may perform the set administrative mode (S36).

When the process is completed (S37), the door can be unlocked (S38) and the course can be ended.

Referring to FIG. 22, the stroke of the styler can be set and performed based on the average weight of clothes hanging on hangers provided in the processing chamber 91 of the clothing processing device 9.

Multiple hangers may be hung on the hanger 93.

A course can be input from the user through the input unit 921 (S40).

The weight sensor (79, 119) can detect the weight of clothing hanging on a hanger (S41).

The control unit 99 can calculate the number of hangers on which clothing is hung based on the detection value of the weight sensor (S42).

For example, the hanger communication unit 85 may transmit a signal related to the detected values of the weight sensors 79 and 119 to the main communication unit 995. The control unit 99 can calculate the average weight of clothes hanging on hangers based on the signal received through the main communication unit 995.

The control unit 99 can set the strokes included in the course (S431, S433, S435, S441, S443, S445, S451, S453, S455) based on the average weight of the input course and clothing (S43, S44).

For example, the heavier the average weight of the clothing, the faster the moving hanger can reciprocate, and the amount of steam generated from the steam generator 945 and the drying time can be increased.

The control unit 80 may perform the set administrative mode (S46).

When the process is completed (S47), the door can be unlocked (S48) and the course can be ended.

Referring to FIG. 23, the control units 80 and 99 can set and perform control of the clamp assembly according to the performed stroke.

Administration and/or courses can be input from the user through the input unit 921 (S50).

Information on a plurality of strokes and a plurality of courses may be stored in the memory 993, and information on whether the plurality of courses include a vertical moving mode may be stored.

When the vertical moving mode is input or the input course includes the vertical moving mode (S51), the control unit 80 controls the motor 51 to perform a vertical moving stroke to reciprocate the clamp assembly 50 up and down (S51). S533).

When the hanger moving mode is input or the input course includes the hanger moving mode (S52, S54), the control unit 80 may perform a hanger moving stroke to reciprocate the moving hanger 93 (S531, S55).

After performing the hanger moving administration and the up and down moving administration, the steam administration (S535, S56) can be performed.

In the steam process (S535, S56), the control unit 80 can supply steam to the processing chamber through the steam generator.

In the steam stroke (S535, S56), the control unit 80 can supply steam to the treatment chamber while providing tension to the clothing by moving the clamp assembly 40 downward.

For example, the control units 99 and 80 may detect the weight of clothing through the weight sensors 79 and 119 and store the detected value (w1) in the memories 83 and 993. The control units 99 and 80 may operate the motor 51 to move the clamp assembly 40 downward. The weight sensors 79 and 119 can detect the weight (w2) of clothing while operating the motor 51. Memories 83 and 993 can store w2. The control units 80 and 99 may stop driving the motor based on w2 and w1. For example, if the w2 value is greater than w1, the motor can stop running. For example, if the w2 value is greater than w1 by a preset value, the motor can be stopped. The preset value may be stored in the memory (83, 993).

Through this, steam administration can be performed with the clothes hanging on the hanger (H) unfolded.

After the steam cycle is completed, the dry cycle (S537, S57) can be performed.

The control units 80 and 99 may supply high-temperature air to the processing chamber through the heat pump 941 and the blowing fan 943 during the drying process.

In the drying process, the control unit 80 may supply high-temperature air to the processing chamber while providing tension to the clothing by moving the clamp assembly 40 downward. For example, the control for providing tension to clothes may be the same as the description of the steam stroke (S535, S56).

Alternatively, during the drying cycle, the control unit 80 may reciprocate the clamp assembly 40 up and down and supply high-temperature air to the processing chamber. For example, the clamp assembly 40 can be reciprocated up and down by rotating the motor in both directions.

When the drying cycle is completed, the door can be unlocked (S58) and the course can be ended.
