The invention relates to a portable device (1100) comprising a bottom surface (BS) intended to be in contact with a textile (TXT). The portable device comprises an image sensor (5) for taking an image of a textile, and an illumination system (6) for illuminating a portion of the textile when said image is being taken. The portable device also comprises a control unit (8a) for executing an algorithm stored in the portable device, using the taken image as an input of said algorithm, to obtain a classification of the textile. The image sensor and the control unit are integrated within the portable device. The image sensor has an active surface sensitive to light, which is oriented compared to said bottom surface (BS), with an absolute value of the orientation angle being in the range 15-70 degrees; and/or the illumination system (6) has a light source oriented compared to the said bottom surface (BS), with an absolute value of the orientation angle being in the range 15-70 degrees.

The present disclosure relates to a clothing treating apparatus comprising: an outer case which includes a first opening formed at the front side thereof; an inner case which is provided inside the outer case and has a space formed therein to receive clothes; an inner case bottom surface which forms the bottom of the inner case; a first penetrating part which extends through the inner case bottom surface; and a first machinery room forming surface which forms a machinery room disposed under the inner case and separated from the inner case, and provides a holding surface that protrudes to enable a steam nozzle to be installed thereon.

A steam generator includes a pre-heat chamber configured to heat incoming water to a temperature less than the boiling point of water, where the pre-heat chamber is configured to heat the water such that if the water contains a calcium compound, the calcium compound is caused to take a particulate form. The steam generator also includes a filter assembly in fluid communication with the pre-heat chamber, the filter assembly including a removable particulate filter element, where the filter element is reusable and cleanable. The steam generator also includes a water pump in fluid communication with the filter assembly, and operative to cause water flow through the steam generator and a boiler in fluid communication with the water pump, where the water pump is configured to cause water to flow to the boiler, and where the boiler is configured to boil water such that steam is produced.

A clothing care machine and a method and system for controlling the same are provided. The clothing care machine is provided with a steam generator and a steam handle. The steam handle is provided with a human body sensing component. The method includes: controlling the human body sensing component to sense whether the steam handle is operated by a user; and controlling an operation state of the steam generator according to a touch signal sensed by the human body sensing component. The method may realize an intelligent control of the steam generator according to an operation condition of the user.

A clothes treatment apparatus includes a cabinet defining a treatment chamber configured to accommodate hanging clothes and a cycle chamber configured to house machinery, the cycle chamber being positioned vertically below the treatment chamber. The clothes treatment apparatus also includes a partition plate that partitions the treatment chamber from the cycle chamber, a door configured to open and close the cabinet, a door liner disposed at an inside of the door and configured to guide condensed water generated in the treatment chamber to an upper side of the partition plate, a condensed water guide member disposed at the partition plate and configured to guide the condensed water from the door liner into the treatment chamber.
