Description

Clothes treating apparatus Technical Field The present disclosure relates to a laundry treating apparatus including a drying apparatus. Background The laundry treating apparatus is an apparatus for treating and/or managing laundry. The laundry treating apparatus may include a washing machine and a dryer. A washing machine is a device for washing laundry by friction between laundry, water, and detergent put into a tub by stirring the laundry, water, and detergent together with the driving force of a driving motor. The stroke performed by the washing machine may include a washing stroke to supply detergent and water to a tub containing laundry and rotate a drum while washing the laundry, a rinsing stroke to supply water to the tub and rotate the drum to rinse the laundry, and a dehydrating stroke to drain water from the tub and rotate the drum to remove the water of the laundry, regardless of the type of the washing machine. The stroke performed by the washing machine may include a drying stroke of blowing hot air generated in the drying device into the receiving space receiving the laundry to dry the laundry. In order to perform the drying stroke, the washing machine may include a drying device.
