Disclosed herein is a method of controlling a laundry treating apparatus, if a user selects a uniform course, including performing a preheating operation of a heater to generate steam, performing a first cooling operation to operate a blower unit and a moving hanger after the preheating operation has been terminated, performing a steam operation to operate the blower unit and a steam unit and to circulate steam to a treating chamber after the first cooling operation has been terminated, performing a standby operation to operate the blower unit after the steam operation has been terminated, performing a second cooling operation to operate the blower unit after the standby operation has been terminated, and performing a drying operation to operate the blower unit and a heat pump unit and to provide heat to the treating chamber to dry the treating chamber after the second cooling operation has been terminated.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet with an insertion opening defined in a front face, a laundry receiving space in the cabinet, a support assembly in the laundry receiving space for supporting laundry, and a first chamber including an air supply part for supplying dehumidified and heated air into the laundry receiving space. A communication opening in the front face of the cabinet opens to the first chamber. A chamber door is configured to open and close the communication opening. A water discharge tank is detachably connected to the chamber door and stores condensate water discharged from the air supply part. A chamber door conveying part reciprocates the chamber door, and moves the support assembly toward the insertion opening when the door opens the insertion opening.

Methods and apparatuses that provide for laundry to be washed and rinsed in a washing device in a state in which it lies spread out on an upper strand of a belt conveyor and, directly thereafter, to be dried in a likewise spread-out state on an upper strand of a belt conveyor. During the washing, rinsing and also the drying operations, the laundry rests on the belt conveyors, which also transport the laundry through the washing device and the dryer. The items of laundry here are washed, and also rinsed, by being sprayed with jets of liquid. The procedure described provides for a compact washing and drying system and is gentler on the items of laundry.

A clothing treatment apparatus includes a frame, a hanger body movable relative to the frame, a vibrating body including a predetermined central axis, a first eccentric portion supported by the vibrating body and capable of rotating about a first rotation axis spaced apart from the central axis, a second eccentric portion supported by the vibrating body and rotatable about a second rotation axis spaced apart from the central axis, and a hanger driving unit disposed in the vibrating body and connected to the hanger body at a position spaced apart from the central axis. Centrifugal forces of the first and second eccentric portions with respect to the first and second rotation axes, respectively, reinforce each other when the vibrating body generates a rotational force about the central axis, and oppose each other when the vibrating body does not generate the rotational force.

A laundry treating apparatus includes a cabinet; a laundry receiving space defined in the cabinet and configured for receiving laundry therein; an insertion opening defined in a front face of the cabinet and in fluid communication with the laundry receiving space; a door rotatably fixed to the cabinet to open and close the insertion opening; a supply unit configured to supply at least one of air or water vapor to the laundry receiving space; a support assembly provided in the laundry receiving space and configured to support the laundry; and a conveying part configured to move the support assembly toward the insertion opening when the door opens the insertion opening.

A method and device of controlling a moving hanger based on a movement of clothing are disclosed. A method of controlling a clothing styler includes determining a second moving pattern based on a dust amount in a processing chamber and movement information of clothes collected while a moving hanger operates in a first moving pattern, and controlling the moving hanger based on the determined second moving pattern. The controlling method can be associated with an artificial intelligence module, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a robot, an augmented reality (AR) device, a virtual reality (VR) device, devices related to 5G services, and the like.
