Description

Clothes treating apparatus Technical Field The present invention relates to a laundry treatment apparatus, and more particularly, to a laundry treatment apparatus including a door for opening and closing an opening into which laundry is put. Background The laundry treatment apparatus is an apparatus capable of performing various treatment processes for treating laundry, for example, a washing process for removing contaminants on laundry by putting clothes, bedding, etc. (hereinafter, referred to as laundry) into a drum, a drying process for removing moisture existing on laundry, etc. The laundry treating apparatus may include a cabinet forming an external appearance, and may include a receiving part provided inside the cabinet to receive laundry. In addition, in case of using water in a process of treating laundry, an outer tub may be provided inside the cabinet, and the receiving part may be provided inside the outer tub. On the other hand, an opening may be formed in the case, and the opening may communicate with the inside of the receiving portion. The user may insert laundry into the receiving part through the opening. The laundry treating apparatus may include a door for opening and closing the opening. The door may be provided to the case body and may be in an open state of opening or a closed state of closing the opening. The door may be coupled to the case by a hinge portion. The door may be rotated about the hinge portion so as to be rotatable to correspond to the open state or the closed state. A laundry treatment apparatus provided with a door at the front surface of a cabinet is disclosed in the related document KR 10-2015-0053145 A1. In the laundry treatment apparatus of the related document, the door is rotated to be closely attached to the cabinet to close the opening, and rotated to be away from the cabinet to open the opening. In addition, in the laundry treatment apparatus of the related document, a door seating part may be provided at the cabinet to be able to seat a door in a state of closing the opening, and the door may be seated at the door seating part so that the door may be sealed. However, the door of the related document has a larger area than the door seating portion, and covers the door seating portion from the front. In this case, the amount of projection of the door from the front surface provided with the door seating portion increases to occupy the space in front of the case. As the door protrudes toward the front of the cabinet, the user needs to use the laundry treating apparatus in a state of being spaced apart from the cabinet toward the front, and thus there is a possibility that inconvenience is increased and other articles are prevented from being disposed in front of the laundry treating apparatus. Therefore, reducing the amount of front projection of the door becomes an important issue in terms of convenience of use and space utilization of the laundry treating apparatus, and further, improving the visual integrity of the front surface of the cabinet facing the user and including the door, to the user becomes an important issue. On the other hand, for smooth rotation of the door, a gap, which is a separation distance, may be formed between the edge of the door seating part and the edge of the door, and as the service time of the door increases, sinking of the door due to the self weight of the door may occur, whereby the lower end of the door may come into contact with the door seating part to hinder the rotation of the door. The gap is generally uniform in width over the entire periphery of the door, and the gap on the side of the door that is coupled to the hinge portion needs to have a width that ensures a rotation range around the hinge portion. However, if the width of the gap is increased in consideration of the hinge portion at the one side of the door and the width of the entire door periphery is further increased uniformly, the product integrity of the external appearance of the laundry treating apparatus may be lowered due to the increase of the area of the unnecessary door mounting portion. Accordingly, it is an important subject in the art to develop a laundry treating apparatus that effectively designs a gap formed at a periphery of a door and includes a door mounting portion capable of effectively accommodating the door. Disclosure of Invention Problems to be solved by the invention An object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a laundry treating apparatus having a door seating part accommodating at least a portion of a door. Further, an object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a laundry treating apparatus capable of effectively forming a gap between a door seating part and a door in consideration of usability of the door. Further, an object of an embodiment of the present invention is to provide a laundry treatment apparatus capable of effectively maintaining usability of a door even in a case where the door
