Description

Clothes treating apparatus Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a laundry treatment apparatus including a drying device. Background The laundry treating apparatus is an apparatus for treating and/or caring for laundry. The laundry treating apparatus may include a washing machine and a dryer. The washing machine is an apparatus for performing washing by stirring laundry, water, and detergent put into a tub together by using a driving force of a driving motor to wash the laundry by rubbing against each other. Regardless of the type of the washing machine, the processes performed by the washing machine include a washing process for washing laundry placed in the tub by supplying detergent and water to the tub and rotating the drum, a rinsing process for rinsing laundry by supplying water to the tub and rotating the drum, and a spin-drying process for dehydrating the laundry by draining water from the tub and rotating the drum. The process performed by the washing machine may include a drying process in which heat generated by the drying device is blown into the receiving space containing the laundry to dry the laundry. The washing machine may include a drying device to perform a drying process. Disclosure of Invention Technical problem An aspect of the present disclosure provides a laundry treating apparatus capable of improving efficiency of an inner space. One aspect of the present disclosure provides a laundry treatment apparatus in which a tub back forms a part of a vent path. An aspect of the present disclosure provides a laundry treating apparatus capable of preventing a strength from being reduced due to an improved structure of a tub. An aspect of the present disclosure provides a laundry treating apparatus including a reinforcing bracket whose structure is modified to correspond to that of a tub back. Technical objects of the present invention are not limited to the above, and other objects not described above may become apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art based on the following description. Technical proposal The laundry treating apparatus according to an embodiment includes a tub including a tub back forming a tub rear side, the tub back having a first area including a plurality of reinforcing ribs, a second area including a tub air outlet and a recess portion forming an air discharge path along which air discharged through the tub air outlet may flow, a drum within the tub configured to accommodate laundry and rotatable, a rotatable shaft connected to the drum and configured to rotate the drum, a drying device located at an upper side of the tub and configured to remove moisture from air discharged from the tub along the air discharge path, heat the discharged air, and supply the heated air back to the tub through an air inlet, a bearing housing connected to the tub and configured to support the rotatable shaft, and a reinforcing bracket including a bracket air outlet corresponding to the tub air outlet, and a rigid reinforcing portion coupled to the recess portion to reinforce the strength of the recess portion.
