Hereinafter, the front-rear direction and the vertical direction are defined in the direction shown in FIG.

In FIG. 3, a water tank 2 is supported in a body 1 of the drum type washing machine so as to be swingable by a buffer means (not shown). A rotating drum 3 having a bottomed cylindrical shape is disposed in the water tank 2 so as to be rotatable with the axial direction inclined downward from the front side to the rear side. The water tank 2 is provided with a clothing doorway 4 leading to the opening end of the rotary drum 3 on the front side. The front frame 5 constitutes the front surface of the main body 1. The front frame 5 has an opening 6 in the front. By opening the lid 9, the laundry is put into and out of the rotary drum 3 through the clothing entrance 4 through the opening 6.

A large number of through holes 10 communicating with the water tank 2 are formed on the peripheral surface of the rotating drum 3. The rotating drum 3 is rotationally driven in the forward and reverse directions by the motor 11 attached to the back side of the water tank 2. A water injection pipe 12 and a drain pipe 13 are connected to the water tank 2 by piping. By controlling the water injection valve 14 and the drain valve 15, water injection and drainage into the water tank 2 are performed.

A detergent charging case 17 is disposed at the top of the main body 1. By disposing the detergent charging case 17 on the side surface side of the main body 1, the water tank 2 can be disposed upward. Prior to driving, the user opens the detergent charging case lid 18 disposed on the top surface of the main body 1. Then, the user inputs detergent or softening agent into the detergent charging case 17.

The front frame 5 of the main body 1 is formed in a vertical (including substantially vertical) plane. A lid 9 is rotatably supported on the front frame 5. The lid body 9 has a rectangular shape (including a substantially rectangular shape), and the lateral width dimension of the lid body 9 is the same (including substantially the same) as the lateral width dimension of the main body 1. In the lid body 9, with the lid body 9 closed, the upper surface of the lid body 9 is flush with the top surface of the main body 1 (including substantially the same surface), and both side surfaces of the lid body 9 are It is comprised so that it may become the same surface (a substantially identical surface is included).

A lower panel 40 is rotatably supported on the front frame 5 of the main body 1 at a position below the lid 9. The lower panel 40 covers a drainage filter 79 that filters the drainage from the water tank 2 (see FIG. 29). In a state where the lid body 9 and the lower panel 40 are closed, the front surface of the lid body 9 and the front surface of the lower panel 40 are configured to be the same surface (including substantially the same surface). Similarly to the lid body 9, the lower panel 40 has the same horizontal width dimension as that of the main body 1 (including substantially the same). Further, both side surfaces of the lower panel 40 are configured to be the same surface (including substantially the same surface) as the both side surfaces of the main body 1.

An operation display unit 16 is disposed on the top of the lid body 9. The operation display unit 16 includes an input unit and a display unit. The user can set desired operation details, start operation, and temporarily stop by operating the input unit of the operation display unit 16 as necessary. In addition, the user can check the driving setting state and the progressing state on the display unit of the operation display unit 16. By disposing the operation display unit 16 on the upper surface of the lid body 9, the operation display unit can be eliminated from the upper part of the main body 1.

Then, water is poured into the detergent charging case 17, and a predetermined amount of water is poured into the water tank 2 through the water injection conduit 12 while flowing the detergent that has been poured into the detergent charging case 17. Then, the rotary drum 3 is rotationally driven by the motor 11 and the washing process is started. The laundry in the washing process is washed by being repeatedly stirred and dropped in the rotational direction by the rotation of the rotating drum 3.

After the required washing time, the drain valve 15 is opened and the dirty washing liquid is discharged from the drain pipe 13. The washing liquid contained in the laundry is dehydrated by the dehydrating operation in which the rotating drum 3 is rotated at a high speed, and thereafter, water is poured into the water tank 2 from the water pouring line 12 and the rinsing process is performed. Also in this rinsing process, the laundry is repeatedly agitated by the rotation of the rotating drum 3 and rinsed.

(Description of connecting part)
The structure of the connecting portion that rotatably supports the lid 9 on the front frame 5 of the main body 1 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 4, an upper connecting member 21 is disposed on the upper left end of the front frame 5 of the main body 1. A lower connecting member 22 is disposed at the lower left end of the front frame 5. The upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22 are fixed to a frame structure (not shown) of the main body 1 and pass through the front frame 5 and protrude forward of the main body 1.

As shown in FIG. 5, the upper connecting member 21 includes an upper arm portion 23 extending forward of the main body 1. An upper support shaft portion 24 extending above the main body 1 is provided at the distal end (including the vicinity of the distal end) of the upper arm portion 23. As shown in FIG. 6, the lower connecting member 22 includes a lower arm portion 25 that extends to the front of the main body 1, similarly to the upper connecting member 21. A lower support shaft portion 26 extending above the main body 1 is provided at the distal end (including the vicinity of the distal end) of the lower arm portion 25.

As shown in FIG. 1, the lid body 9 has a quadrangular shape (including a substantially square shape), and the lateral width dimension W <b> 1 of the lid body 9 is equal to (including substantially equal to) the lateral width dimension W <b> 2 of the main body 1. . In the closed state of the lid body 9, both side surfaces of the lid body 9 are configured to be the same surface (including substantially the same surface) as the both side surfaces of the main body 1.

12, the upper support shaft portion 24 is inserted into the upper bearing member 27 fastened to the upper portion of the lid body 9. FIG. 12 shows only the upper bearing member 27, and shows the state where the lid body 9 is omitted.

As shown in FIG. 11, the lower support shaft portion 26 is inserted into the lower bearing member 28 fastened to the lower portion of the lid body 9. Thus, the two bearing members 27 and 28 provided on the upper part and the lower side of the lid body 9 are separated from each other by the two upper connecting members 21 and the lower connecting member 22 provided at positions separated from each other. Supported. And the cover body 9 covers the opening part 6 of the main body 1 so that rotation is possible.

FIG. 13 is a view showing a cross section of the peripheral structure of the upper connecting member 21 in a state where the lid body 9 is closed. FIG. 14 is a view showing a cross section of the peripheral structure of the upper connecting member 21 in a state where the lid body 9 is opened.

The upper arm portion 23 is formed in a curved shape so that the tip of the side wall 29 of the lid body 9 does not come into contact with the front frame body 5 in a state where the lid body 9 is opened. In addition, the front-rear direction interval a between the side wall 29 of the lid 9 and the front frame 5 when the lid 9 is closed (see FIG. 13), and the state where the lid 9 is closed from the opened state. The upper support shaft portion 24 is disposed inside the lid body 9 in order to keep the margin b (see FIG. 13) in the width direction from the side wall 29 of the front end portion 76 of the lid body 9 in the rotation trajectory to And disposed near the front surface 31 and the side wall 29. The front-rear direction interval a is an external clearance when the drum type washing machine is viewed obliquely. With the above configuration, the front-rear direction interval a can be reduced, and the design can be improved. Moreover, the allowance b of the width direction can be made small by the said structure, and it can install close to the wall of a house at the time of product installation. Thereby, it becomes possible to install in a narrow place.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6, the lower arm portion 25 of the lower connecting member 22 is configured not to be curved like the upper arm portion 23 but to extend in front of the main body 1. This is because, as shown in FIG. 9, the lower connecting member 22 supports the lower side 32 of the lid body 9 from below, so that it is not necessary to escape the rotation locus of the side wall 29 of the lid body.

As shown in FIG. 3, when the lid 9 is closed, the window glass 33 provided on the lid 9 comes into contact with the window packing 34 attached to the water tank 2 in a watertight manner. This prevents the washing liquid in the water tank 2 from leaking out of the machine. When the lid 9 is closed from the opened state, the latch 35 provided in the lid 9 is engaged with the lid lock hole 36 provided in the main body 1 as shown in FIG. The inside is electrically locked and the lid 9 is not opened.

As shown in FIG. 2, when an external force F <b> 1 is applied downward to the lid body 9 when the lid body 9 is open, the applied loads are the upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22. Supported by. Therefore, if the upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22 are not strong enough, the upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22 are deformed and the position of the lid 9 is shifted. Thereby, when the lid body 9 is closed, the water seal between the lid body 9 and the window packing 34 is broken. As a result, the washing liquid in the water tub 2 leaks out of the machine, or when the lid body 9 is closed, the position of the latch 35 may be shifted with respect to the lid lock hole 36 and the lid body 9 may be difficult to close.

For example, in the case of a lid having a circular shape as in the conventional example, even if the connecting members are separated from each other, the connecting members cannot be separated from the center line of the lid. Therefore, enormous costs are required to increase the strength of the connecting portion of the lid, such as increasing the thickness of the connecting member or providing a reinforcing material.

However, in the present embodiment, the two upper connecting members 21 and the lower connecting member 22 can be arranged to be charged and separated from each other by making the lid 9 into a quadrangular shape (including a substantially quadrangular shape). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 2, when an external force F <b> 1 is applied to the lid body 9, the force acting on the upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22 can be reduced.

Although the upper connecting member 21 has a curved shape and may be weak against the downward external force F1, the lower connecting member 22 has sufficient strength for the lid 9 with respect to the downward load. Can be supported. Therefore, deformation of the upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22 can be prevented without requiring a special reinforcing measure. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent adverse effects such as water leakage of the washing liquid that occurs due to the position of the lid 9 being displaced, or deterioration in operability during the closing operation of the lid 9.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, it is assumed that an external force F2 is applied in the follow-up direction that opens further to the lid body 9 with the lid body 9 opened. When the lid 9 is fully opened, the stopper piece 37 provided on the upper bearing member 27 abuts on the protrusion 38 provided on the upper connecting member 21 to form a stopper in the follow-up direction (see FIG. 14). Accordingly, when a load of F2 is applied to the lid 9 in the direction of opening, the direction of the force acting on the upper arm portion 23 is the left direction of the main body 1 in FIG. 14, that is, the upper bearing member 27. The direction is difficult to deform. Therefore, the lid 9 can be connected relatively easily and easily without increasing the cost by adopting a special configuration such as increasing the thickness of the upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22 or providing a reinforcing member. A structure is realized.

Although not shown in the drawing, a stopper in the follow-up direction may be provided in the lower connecting member 22 in the same manner as the upper connecting member 21. Thereby, the force which acts on the upper connection member 21 and the lower connection member 22 is divided into two, and the lower bearing member 28 becomes difficult to deform | transform.

(Description of front shape of drum type washing machine)
As shown in FIG. 1, the lid body 9 has a quadrangular shape (including a substantially quadrangular shape), and the lateral width dimension W <b> 1 is equal to (including substantially equal to) the lateral width dimension W <b> 2 of the main body 1. Further, the width dimension of the lower panel 40 covering the drainage filter 79 (see FIG. 29) housed in the lower portion of the main body 1 is equal to (including substantially equal to) the width dimension W2 of the main body 1. Thereby, the front surface of the drum-type washing machine when viewed from the front of the product has a flat shape. Moreover, although the division | segmentation clearance gap 41 of the cover body 9 and the lower panel 40 is visible from the drum type washing machine front, since the lid | cover body 9 only rotates in a horizontal direction, the division | segmentation clearance gap 41 can be suppressed within 5 mm. Inconspicuous. The lower panel 40 is configured so that the user's feet can be inserted below the lower panel 40 by disposing the components to the front frame 5 of the main body 1 and recessing toward the main body 1 without placing any parts. ing. Thus, the user can work while standing in a position closer to the main body 1 when putting in and out the laundry.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper surface of the main body 1 and the upper surface of the lid body 9 are configured to be the same surface (including substantially the same surface). Thereby, the upper surface of a product becomes a flat shape and design property can be improved.

For example, in the case of a lid having a circular shape as in the conventional example, in order to prevent interference between the lid and the main body when opening and closing the lid, the gap between the lid and the main body is widened to some extent, and the lid surface It is necessary to make the shape protruding from the main body. Interference between the lid and the main body is greatest at the intersection of the lid opening / closing fulcrum and the lid outer periphery. If it is going to avoid this interference, the clearance gap and level | step difference of a cover body and a main body will become large, and it will become difficult to comprise a cover body in the same form as a main body in design.

In the present embodiment, the front frame 5 of the main body 1 is covered with the lid 9 by making the horizontal width W1 of the lid 9 equal (including substantially equal to) the horizontal width W2 of the main body 1. Thereby, the division | segmentation with the cover 9 periphery and the main body 1 is lose | eliminated, the front surface of a product is flat, a division | segmentation clearance gap can be decreased, and design property can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, when the lid body 9 is opened, the upper connecting member 21 is exposed because it extends forward from the front frame body 5. On the other hand, the lower connecting member 22 is hidden by the lower side 32 of the lid 9 and hardly exposed (see FIG. 9). Therefore, even when the lid body 9 is opened, it has a clean appearance and can improve the design. When the laundry is taken in and out of the opening 6, it is assumed that the hanging portion of the laundry touches the vicinity of the lower connecting member 22. In the present embodiment, since the lower connecting member 22 is covered with the lid 9, the laundry is prevented from being caught by the lower connecting member 22. Further, it is possible to prevent the lower connecting member 22 from coming into contact with water dripping from the laundry, and it is possible to prevent the lower connecting member 22 from being corroded by getting wet with the washing liquid from the laundry.

(Description of assembly of the lid 9 to the main body 1)
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing the upper connecting member 21 with the lid 9 removed. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the lower connecting member 22 in a state where the lid body 9 is removed.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the upper connecting member 21 and the lower connecting member 22 extend forward from the front frame 5 in a state before the lid 9 is attached to the main body 1. Further, the upper support shaft portion 24 and the lower support shaft portion 26 extend about 10 mm upward. As shown in FIG. 7, the lid 9 is provided with an opening 42 at a position corresponding to the upper connecting member 21 on the back surface of the lid 9.

When the lid 9 is attached to the main body 1, the upper arm 23 of the upper connecting member 21 is inserted into the opening 42 of the lid 9, and then the lid 9 is lowered by its own weight when the force is removed. Thereby, the upper support shaft portion 24 is inserted into the upper bearing member 27. In this manner, the lid body 9 is rotatably attached to the main body 1 while being supported from below by the upper connecting member 21. In addition, since the lower connection member 22 supports the lower side 32 of the lid body 9 from below, it is not necessary to insert the lower connection member 22 into the opening. That is, the lower support shaft portion 26 is also inserted into the lower bearing member 28 in the process of inserting the upper arm portion 23 of the upper connection member 21 into the opening 42. In this way, the lid 9 is attached to the main body 1.

Since the upper support shaft portion 24 and the lower support shaft portion 26 only extend upward by about 10 mm, the distance that the lid body 9 moves downward by its own weight after the upper connecting member 21 is inserted into the opening 42 is also about 10 mm. Only. Accordingly, since the lid 9 can be attached to the main body 1 by one operation, the assemblability can be improved.

FIG. 10 is a perspective view showing the peripheral structure of the connecting portion with the cover 43 removed. FIG. 11 is a transparent perspective view of the main body and the lower part of the lid. A cover 43 covering the opening 42 is attached to the lid body 9 in a state where the upper support shaft portion 24 and the lower support shaft portion 26 are inserted into the upper bearing member 27 and the lower bearing member 28. The upper surface 44 of the cover 43 is located close to the lower surface 45 of the upper connecting member 21. With this configuration, the upward movement of the lid body 9 can be restricted, and even if the lid body 9 is lifted upward, the lid body 9 can be prevented from being detached from the upper coupling member 21 and the lower coupling member 22.

As shown in FIG. 1, an operation display unit 16 is provided on the upper surface of the lid body 9. The lead wire 46 from the main body 1 and the lead wire 47 from the operation display unit 16 are connected in the opening 42 by a connector 48 (see FIG. 10). Therefore, the cover 43 also has a function of protecting the lead wire 46 and the lead wire 47 in a waterproof manner. The lead wire 46 and the lead wire 47 are configured by bundling a plurality of lead wires.

The lead wire 46 from the main body 1 is accommodated in a lead wire cover 49 shown in FIG. A lead wire cover 49 is attached to the upper arm portion 23 of the upper connecting member 21 from below the upper connecting member 21 to protect the lead wire 46 in a waterproof manner.

7 and 8, the lead wire cover 49 has a matching surface 49a with the upper arm portion 23 in the same shape (including substantially the same shape) as the upper arm portion 23. The lead wire cover 49 includes a lead wire storage portion 49 b that stores the lead wire 46 from the main body 1 on the mating surface 49 a side with the upper arm portion 23. The lead wire storage portion 49b is provided with a pressing portion 77 for pressing the lead wire 46 stored in the lead wire storage portion 49b. The lead wire 46 is accommodated in the lead wire accommodating portion 49 b, and the lead wire 46 is pressed by the pressing portion 77, thereby preventing the lead wire 46 from moving. In this state, the lead wire cover 49 is locked to the lower surface of the upper arm portion 23.

In a state where the lead wire cover 49 is locked to the lower surface of the upper arm portion 23, there is a gap of about 2 mm between the lead wire 46 and the lower surface of the upper arm portion 23. The lead wire 46 drawn out from the lead wire storage portion 49b is routed in the vicinity of the central axis 24a of the upper support shaft portion 24 inside the opening portion 42 of the lid body 9 (see FIG. 7). The lead wire 46 wound in the opening 42 is locked in the opening 42 by a fixing pin 78 at an arbitrary position (for example, a position having a tip of 100 mm). The fixing pin 78 locks the lead wire 46 in the opening 42 at a position slightly away from the vicinity of the central axis 24 a of the upper support shaft 24. The leading end portion of the lead wire 46 fixed by the fixing pin 78 is connected in the opening 42 by the lead wire 47 from the operation display unit 16 and the connector 48. The opening 42 is closed by locking the cover 43 to the lid body 9.

The pressing portion 77 is configured such that the distance between the pressing portion 77 and the bottom surface of the lead wire storage portion 49b is the same dimension (including substantially the same dimension) as the radius of the lead wire 46. Further, the pressing portion 77 is disposed in the vicinity of the central shaft 24 a of the upper support shaft portion 24. The lead wire cover 49 includes a lead-out portion 99 that pulls out the lead wire 46 from the lead wire storage portion 49b in the vicinity of the pressing portion 77. The lead-out part 99 is located in the vicinity of the central axis 24a. As a result, the lead wire 46 drawn out from the lead wire storage portion 49b is within the range B (see FIG. 7) where the lead wire 46 is locked to the opening 42 by the fixing pin 78 from the bent portion. The central axis 24a of the portion 24 can be easily brought close to. The lead wire 46 has a right angle (including a substantially right angle) with respect to the central axis 24a of the upper support shaft portion 24 in a range B in which the lead wire 46 is locked in the opening 42 by the fixing pin 78 from the bent portion. There will be no routing part. Since the stress applied to the lead wire 46 by opening and closing the lid body 9 changes from concentrated stress in the bending direction, which has a great influence on the disconnection, to stress in the torsional direction, the fear of disconnection of the lead wire 46 can be reduced. .

The lead wire 46 in the section C (see FIG. 7) housed in the lead wire cover 49 and the section from the section C to the portion locked to the opening 42 by the fixing pin 78 opens and closes the lid body 9. No stress is applied and it does not move. Therefore, the fear of disconnection of the lead wire 46 due to the applied stress can be eliminated. Further, since it is concealed from the outside, it is possible to prevent corrosion and deterioration due to adhesion of dirt such as water and foreign matter entering from the outside.

The lead wire 46 and the lead wire 47 are configured by bundling a plurality of lead wires and winding them with tape. A plurality of lead wires 46 and lead wires 47 may be provided. Since the opening 42 through which the lead wire 46 is routed is provided in the upper side surface portion 65 where the window glass 33 does not exist, it is not necessary to make the window glass 33 small in order to route the lead wire 46. Since the window glass 33 is in water-sealing contact with the window packing 34 (see FIG. 3) attached to the water tank 2 so as to cover the opening 6, it is necessary to make the window packing 34 and the opening 6 small. Absent. Therefore, the ease of taking in and out the laundry is not impaired.

The upper surface 44 of the cover 43 is close to the lead wire cover 49 (see FIG. 10). In the present embodiment, since the cover 43 rotates together with the lid body 9, a gap of about 2 mm is provided so as not to rub against the lead wire cover 49 to which the cover 43 is fixed in the process of opening and closing the lid body 9. ing. With the above configuration, the upper support shaft portion 24 and the lower support shaft portion 26 have an engagement margin of about 10 mm, so that the cover body 9 is detached from the upper connection member 21 and the lower connection member 22 even when the cover body 9 is lifted upward. Can be prevented. In addition to this, it is possible to prevent the lead wire 46 and the lead wire 47 from corroding and deteriorating due to dirt such as detergent entering the lead wire 46 and the lead wire 47 from the outside.

(Description of the structure of the lid 9)
FIG. 20 is an exploded perspective view of the lid body 9. Based on FIG. 20, the structure of the cover body 9 is explained in full detail below.

The lid 50 has a quadrangular shape (including a substantially quadrangular shape), and has a circular hole in the center. On the back surface side of the lid 50, a lid back plate 51 having a quadrangular shape (including a substantially quadrangular shape) like the lid 50 and having a circular hole 52 at the center is fastened. The lid back plate 51 is a box-shaped frame component having both side walls and a lower wall. A transparent window glass 33 is sandwiched between the lid back plate 51 and the lid 50 so as to enter the circular hole 52 of the lid back plate 51. An upper bearing member 27 and a lower bearing member 28 are fastened to the upper left portion and the lower left portion of the lid back plate 51.

A ring-shaped decorative plate 58 is fitted in the hole on the surface side of the lid 50. A mortar-shaped slope 59 is formed on the surface side of the lid 50 by the decorative plate 58. A transparent window cover 60 having a quadrangular shape (including a substantially quadrangular shape) is provided on the surface side of the lid 50. The window cover 60 includes a plurality of engagement holes 60c on both side surfaces 60a (see FIG. 22). An engagement claw 51a formed on the side wall of the lid back plate 51 is engaged with the engagement hole 60c, and the window cover 60 is temporarily fixed.

Step portions 60b are disposed on both sides 60a of the window cover 60 on the front side (see FIG. 23). Sash members 73 and 76 are mounted on both side surfaces of the lid body 9 by sliding the sash members 73 and 76 downward from above so as to cover the lid back plate 51 and the side surface 60a of the window cover 60. The step portion 60 b of the window cover 60 is covered with sash members 73 and 76. Since the fixed portion of the window cover 60 is covered with the sash members 73 and 76, the window cover 60 has a shape constituting the entire front surface of the lid body 9. Thereby, the front surface of the lid 9 becomes a flat shape, and the design can be improved.

The front surface of the window cover 60 has a completely flat shape. As shown in FIG. 19B, the back surface of the window cover 60 is in contact with the outer edge 61 of the decorative panel 58 in the front-rear direction. An inner edge 62 of the decorative plate 58 covers the vicinity of the sandwiching portion 63 of the transparent window glass 33. The outer edge 61 and the inner edge 62 of the decorative plate 58 are continuous by a mortar-shaped slope 59.

A substantially annular decorative plate 58 is provided between the back surface of the window cover 60 and the window glass 33. On the back surface of the window cover 60, a ridge 88 having a cylindrical shape (including a substantially cylindrical shape) is provided so as to be close to the outer edge 61 of the decorative plate 58 (see FIG. 19B). The range larger in diameter than the protrusion 88 on the back surface of the window cover 60 constitutes an opaquely painted area 64, and the portion surrounded by the protrusion 88 is a highly transparent area 82 (see FIGS. 19A and 19B). ). The decorative plate 58 is painted or plated in a color different from the painting range 64 of the window cover 60, and has an appearance color that can be seen through the transparent window cover 60.

In the present embodiment, the main body 1 is white, the paint color of the painting range 64 on the back surface of the window cover 60 is the same white as the main body 1, and the decorative plate 58 is plated. Thereby, it seems that the ring-shaped plated decorative board 58 surrounds the periphery of the transparent window glass 33, and an external appearance having a design impact can be configured. Furthermore, if the decorative board 58 is made of a different paint color, the model can be easily developed.

Also, since the lid 50 is a part that is invisible from the outside and does not require painting, the lid 50 can be formed of a resin that is inexpensive and does not need to be affected by liquid detergent. In addition, when painting, in order to ensure the adhesiveness of coating, it is necessary to use expensive ABS resin etc. as a material. When an ABS resin is used, it is necessary to add a chemical-resistant specification so that it does not deteriorate even if a chemical such as a liquid detergent adheres, and it becomes more expensive.

For example, when tap water or detergent is applied to the lid body 9, there is a possibility that water may enter the lid body 9 from the fitting gap with the operation display unit 16 fitted on the upper portion of the lid body 9. In the present embodiment, since the protrusions 88 are arranged close to the outer edge 61 of the decorative plate 58, even if the water travels along the outer periphery of the protrusions 88, the water enters the region 82 with high transparency surrounded by the protrusions 88. Ingress of water is prevented. And it is prevented that water is transmitted to the front side of the mortar-shaped slope 59. If water or the like enters the region 82 with high transparency, the quality is deteriorated as appearance dirt, so that the design can be strong against appearance dirt.

Also, the protrusion 88 on the back surface of the window cover 60 has an effect of facilitating masking work when painting. In general, if there is an area that should not be painted, it is necessary to mask the surrounding area to prevent the invasion of the paint, but in this case, the masking operation is difficult and the yield is deteriorated. Therefore, by bringing a masking jig (not shown) into contact with the protrusion 88, the masking can be reliably performed in a small area, so that the workability of painting can be improved.

(Explanation of handle)
FIG. 24 is a plan view for explaining the handle, the connecting rod, and the latch, and shows a state in which the handle 55, the connecting rod 57, and the latch 35 are incorporated in the lid back plate 51. The lid 50 is not displayed. The latch 35 is provided in the vicinity of the center line of the hole 52 in order to ensure water sealing. The handle 55 is disposed at the upper right end of the lid body 9. Thus, by raising the position of the handle 55, the user does not have to bend when the lid 9 is opened. Therefore, the operability for opening and closing the lid 9 is improved.

Since the handle 55 is disposed on the upper portion of the lid body 9, the handle 55 and the latch 35 are separated from each other. Therefore, the connecting rod 57 is interposed between the handle 55 and the latch 35. The handle 55 rotates toward the front side of the lid body 9, and the rotation of the handle 55 is transmitted to the latch 35 by the connecting rod 57. Then, the latch 35 rotates toward the inner side in the width direction of the lid body 9. The latch 35 and the main body 1 are disengaged by the rotation of the latch 35, and the lid body 9 can be rotated. The connecting rod 57 is composed of a high-rigidity high steel wire rod, and is rotatably held by bearing portions 80 and 81 formed on the lid back plate 51. Further, a stepped portion 97 provided at one end of the connecting rod 57 contacts the handle 55, and a stepped portion 98 provided at the other end of the connecting rod 57 contacts the latch 35.

FIG. 25 is a perspective view of the main part of the lid, showing a state in which the handle 55 and the connecting rod 57 are attached. FIG. 26 is a perspective view of the main part of the lid, and shows a state where the latch 35 is attached.

Near the center line on the right side of the hole 52 of the lid back plate 51, a latch 35 is rotatably attached via a latch shaft 53a (see FIG. 7). A latch spring 54 that biases the latch 35 is provided. The latch 35 is urged by the latch spring 54 so that the engaging claw of the latch 35 rotates toward the outside in the width direction of the lid body 9.

Further, a handle 55 is rotatably attached to the back side of the upper right side of the lid back plate 51. The handle 55 is pushed downward by a weak biasing force by the handle spring 56 (see FIG. 20). The connecting rod 57 is rotatably attached to the lid back plate 51. One end of the connecting rod 57 provided with the bent portion is in contact with the latch 35 and the other end is in contact with the handle 55, and the connecting rod 57 has a function of transmitting the rotation of the handle 55 to the latch 35. That is, when the user opens the lid body 9 when the lid body 9 is closed, when the handle 55 is pulled toward the lid body 9 side, it engages with the lid lock hole 36 provided on the main body 1 side. The engaging claw of the latch 35 that has been turned rotates inward in the width direction of the lid body 9 and is released from the engaged state. Thereby, it will be in the state where lid 9 can be opened. Note that the latch 35 and the handle 55 are also illustrated in FIG. 2 as viewed from the lid back plate 51 side which is the back surface of the lid 9.

When the user pulls the handle 55 toward the front side of the lid 9 in order to open the lid 9, the handle 55 rotates about the shaft portion 84 toward the front of the lid 9, The step 97 which is the contact portion is pressed. As a result, the connecting rod 57 rotates around the bearing portions 80 and 81 and presses the latch 35 at the stepped portion 98. As shown in FIG. 26, the latch 35 rotates the engaging claw of the latch 35 toward the main body 1 of the lid body 9 against the urging force of the latch spring 54 around the shaft portion 85, Is disengaged. Thereby, it will be in the state where lid 9 can be opened.

In order to make the lid 9 easy to open, the rotation of the handle 55 needs to be transmitted to the latch 35 without loss. If the handle 55 and the latch 35 are arranged apart from each other, the connecting rod 57 that connects the handle 55 and the latch 35 becomes longer, so that the connecting rod 57 is likely to be deformed such as torsion, and the movement of the connecting rod 57 may be deteriorated. There is.

In the present embodiment, for example, a high steel wire used for a spring or the like is used for the connecting rod 57, so that sufficient torsional rigidity can be obtained even if the connecting rod 57 is configured to have a relatively small diameter (for example, 3.2 mm in diameter). Can do. Moreover, since the shape of the connecting rod 57 can be a simple shape in which the step portions 97 and 98 are provided at both ends, the processing is easy and can be manufactured at low cost.

In order to rotate the latch 35 until the lid 9 can be opened, the rotation angle θ of the connecting rod 57 needs to be about θ = 20 °, for example. When a torque T = 220 Nmm due to the urging force of the latch spring 54 is applied, the torsion angle φ of the connecting rod 57 is derived by the equation φ = T × L / (G × IP).

In the present embodiment, the length L of the rotating portion of the connecting rod 57 is L = 242 mm, and the lateral elastic modulus G of the high steel wire material that is the material of the connecting rod 57 is G = 78500 N / mm 2. The cross-sectional secondary pole moment IP is set to IP = 10.3 mm 4. In this case, from the above calculation formula, the twist angle φ of the connecting rod 57 falls within about φ = 3.7 °, and the rotation angle of the handle 55 may be set in consideration of this deformation.

Thus, if the torsion angle φ of the connecting rod 57 is within the range of about 20% of the normal rotation angle θ, the movement of the handle 55 can be reduced, so that the thickness of the lid 9 in the front-rear direction is reduced. be able to. The thickness obtained by thinning the lid 9 can be used as an effective space of the main body 1.

Further, since the lid back plate 51 is a resin molded product, warping due to molding occurs. However, the connecting rod 57 has an elongated shape, and even if a warp of about 2 mm occurs with respect to the height 240 mm of the lid back plate 51, the connecting rod 57 is easily bent in the longitudinal direction and is easily adapted. There is no problem in the turning operation of the rod 57.

(Description of the main body facing the handle 55)
FIG. 27 is a top perspective view of the main body and the lid, and shows the peripheral structure of the handle 55 in a state where the lid 9 is closed. FIG. 28 is a vertical cross-sectional view showing the peripheral structure of the handle, and shows the peripheral structure of the handle 55 with the lid 9 closed.

The handle 55 is provided on the back side of the upper part of the lid body 9. A concave portion 86 is provided at a position facing the handle 55 on the front upper surface of the main body 1.

The handle 55 is not visible from the front surface when the lid 9 is closed, and is slightly visible from above. Thereby, the presence of the handle 55 can be suppressed in appearance. When the user tries to put the hand on the handle 55 in order to open the lid body 9, a sufficient space for inserting the hand is secured by the recess 86 provided on the upper surface of the main body 1. For this reason, user convenience is not impaired. Similarly, the concave portion 86 is not visible from the front surface, and it is possible to design the entire surface with a flat feeling. Moreover, since the recessed part 86 can be visually recognized clearly when it sees from upper direction, when opening the cover body 9, a user can be made to recognize the position of the handle 55. FIG.

(Explanation of operation display unit configuration)
As shown in FIG. 16, a space surrounded by the lid 50 and the lid back plate 51 is formed on the upper surface 66 of the lid body 9. As shown in FIG. 17, the operation display unit 16 is fitted into the space from above the lid body 9. In the operation display unit 16, for example, the user inputs from the upper side a driving course such as “standard course” for performing from standard washing to rinsing and dehydration and “solid course” for washing stubborn dirt clothes from above. An operation unit, which is a means, and a display unit, which is a display means for indicating an operation state so that the LED (light emitting diode) or the like can be seen from above, are arranged.

As shown in FIG. 19B, an operation display board 67 on which operation units and display units are arranged and printed is disposed on the upper surface of the lid body 9. As shown in FIG. 19B, an operation display board 68 equipped with tact switches, LEDs, electronic circuits, and the like is fastened to the back side of the operation display board 67. Between the operation display board 67 and the operation display board 68, an intermediate member 69 that conveys the operation from the surface by the user to the tact switch or guides the light emission of the LED to the surface side is sandwiched. In this way, the operation display unit 16 as shown in FIG. 15 is configured.

For example, when the lid has a circular configuration as in the conventional example, as shown in FIG. 34, the operation display unit 500 is placed in front of the upper portion of the main body 100 in consideration of the operability and visibility of the user. It is common to arrange.

However, as in the present embodiment, when the lid 9 has a quadrangular shape (including a substantially quadrangular shape) and a lateral width dimension that is equal to (including substantially equal to) the lateral width dimension of the main body 1, the operation display unit 16. Can be disposed on any of the upper front surface of the lid body 9, the upper surface 66 of the lid body 9, and the front portion of the top surface of the main body 1.

For example, when the operation display unit 16 is arranged at the upper front portion of the lid 9, a plurality of displays related to operation and display appear on the front of the product. With this configuration, it is difficult to make the front surface of the lid 9 completely flat. In addition, it is difficult to reduce the number of fitting portions that can be seen from the front as much as possible to obtain a clean structure.

Further, if the operation display unit 16 is arranged in front of the top surface of the main body 1, the operation display unit 16 moves backward from the front surface of the product by the thickness of the lid body 9 and is operated by the user. And the convenience of viewing the display deteriorates. That is, the usability becomes worse.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the operation display unit 16 is disposed on the upper surface 66 of the lid body 9. With this configuration, the front surface of the lid body 9 has a completely flat shape, and the fitting portion that can be seen from the front surface can be only the division gap 41 between the lower panel 40 and a clean appearance can be realized. In recent years, drum-type washing machines have been placed side by side with a washstand, and there is a demand for a design that creates an installation space that harmonizes with other equipment even when not in use. In the present embodiment, it is possible to harmonize the installation space with the clean appearance of the above configuration. Further, when the user operates the operation display unit 16, the operation display unit 16 is close to the forefront and is visually recognized from above with a natural line of sight, and is disposed at a position where the operation can be performed. .

In addition, since the operation display unit 16 is arranged on the lid 9, the operation display unit can be eliminated from the main body 1, and the water tank 2 can be arranged upward by the height (dimension) of the operation display unit. It becomes. By arranging the water tank 2 at the upper side, the workability for putting the laundry into and out of the rotating drum 3 is improved.

In this configuration, it is necessary to connect the lid body 9 on which the operation display unit 16 is disposed and the main body 1 on which the electrical components such as the motor 11 are disposed with lead wires 46 and 47. In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 10, the lead wire 47 from the operation display unit 16 and the lead wire 46 from the main body 1 are connected by the connector 48 at the opening 42 on the back surface of the lid 9. ing. This structure improves assemblability. In addition, since the lead wires are covered with the cover 43 and the lead wire cover 49 in a waterproof manner, deterioration of the lead wires due to intrusion of a detergent solution or the like can be prevented.

As shown in FIG. 15, a plurality of locking portions 70 are provided at the lower portion of the operation display portion 16. Further, as shown in FIG. 16, a locking portion 71 is provided on the lid back plate 51 at a position corresponding to the locking portion 70. Further, as shown in FIG. 18, the lid 50 is provided with a locking portion 72. FIG. 18 is a perspective view of main parts with the window cover 60 removed. FIG. 17 is a perspective view of a main part in a state where the operation display unit 16 is inserted into the lid from above. In FIG. 17, the plurality of locking portions 70, 71, 72 are in positions where they are not locked with each other, and the operation display portion 16 is in a position where it does not move any further downward. When the operation display unit 16 is moved in the left direction (c direction) from this position, the locking unit 70 and the locking unit 71 and the locking unit 70 and the locking unit 72 are in the locked state. 16 fits in a predetermined position. Thereafter, the sash member 73 is inserted into the right side wall of the lid body 9 from above. The movement of the operation display unit 16 in the right direction is restricted by the sash member 73 to prevent the locking part 70, the locking part 71, and the locking part 72 from coming off.

FIG. 18 is a perspective view of a main part in a state where the locking part 70 and the locking part 72 are locked and the sash member 73 is set on the right side wall of the lid body 9. The leftward movement of the operation display unit 16 is restricted by the locking part 70, the locking part 71, and the locking part 72. The rightward movement of the operation display unit 16 is restricted by the sash member 73. Since the engagement allowance of the locking portions 70, 71, 72 is about 5 mm, the amount of movement in the left direction after the operation display portion 16 is inserted from above can be reduced to about 5 mm, and the lid 9 of the operation display portion 16 can be reduced. Assembling performance is improved.

Furthermore, by providing a plurality of the locking portions 70, 71, 72, the operation display portion 16 is firmly held at a predetermined position where it does not move further downward, and is prevented from floating upward. When the operation display unit 16 floats upward, the fitting gap 74 between the operation display unit 16 and the lid back plate 51 and the fitting gap 75 between the operation display unit 16 and the window cover 60 shown in FIG. 19B increase. If the fitting gaps 74 and 75 become large, not only the appearance quality is deteriorated, but also liquid detergent or dirt enters the inside of the lid body 9 from the fitting gaps 74 and 75, causing problems such as malfunction on the operation display board 68. There is a risk of it happening. Therefore, by providing the plurality of locking portions 70, 71, 72 at intervals that can sufficiently regulate the float over the entire width, for example, at intervals of about 100 mm, the fitting gaps 74, 75 can be kept small over the entire width. be able to. Thereby, the highly reliable operation display unit 16 that is excellent in design can be provided. In addition, it is good also as a structure which provided the sash member 73 also in the left side wall of the cover body 9, and changed the color of the main body 1 by the painting etc., and gave the design impact.

The horizontal width of the operation display unit 16 is the same (including substantially the same) as the horizontal width W1 of the lid 9, and a relatively wide space can be taken. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, the dimension of the vertical width W3 can be taken only by the thickness of the lid body 9. And the thickness of the lid 9 has a restriction that it is desired to keep it compact in order to secure the space on the main body 1 side. In addition, the operation display unit 16 needs to have a certain thickness in order to display a plurality of driving courses and displays such as washing times corresponding to the selection buttons in an easy-to-see manner. The plurality of locking portions 70, 71, 72 described above can hold the operation display unit 16 in a space-saving manner as compared with general screw fastening. Since the operation display portion 16 can be made larger by saving the space of the fastening member, it is possible to arrange it more easily. Further, since the operation display unit 16 can be prevented from being detached from the lid body 9 by the sash member 73 without screw fastening, the fitting gap with the lid body 9 can be kept small.

In addition, a regulation rib 94 is provided to project from the outer end surface of the left bearing portion 92.

As shown in FIG. 31, a columnar right shaft portion 95 that protrudes in the direction of the left shaft portion 89 is disposed at the lower right portion of the lower panel 40. The front frame 5 of the main body 1 is provided with a right bearing portion 96 into which the right shaft portion 95 is inserted.

The left shaft portion 89 and the right shaft portion 95 of the lower panel 40 are inserted into the left bearing portion 92 and the right bearing portion 96, respectively, and the lower panel 40 is slid leftward in FIGS. Along with the slide of the lower panel 40, the claw portion 90 disposed adjacent to the left shaft portion 89 moves along the side surface of the left bearing portion 92, gets over the inclined surface 93, and engages with the outer end surface of the left bearing portion 92. Stop. When the claw 90 is engaged with the outer end surface of the left bearing portion 92, it is possible to prevent the lower panel 40 from moving away.

The drainage filter 79 is exposed by rotating the lower panel 40. Then, by attaching / detaching the drainage filter 79, it is possible to remove lint and the like attached to the drainage filter 79.

The lower panel 40 has a damper device built in the left shaft portion 89. Thereby, when the lower panel 40 rotates, the damper device functions to add resistance to the rotation of the left shaft portion 89, and the opening / closing speed is attenuated. By lowering the opening / closing speed of the lower panel 40, the lower panel 40 is prevented from being damaged, and the lower panel 40 can be opened and closed safely.

The lower panel 40 is in an open state, the claw portion 90 abuts on the restriction rib 94, and the rotation of the lower panel 40 is restricted. In this state, the inclined rib 91 is in contact with the left bearing portion 92. In the state where the rotation of the lower panel 40 is restricted, when a force is further applied in the direction of rotating the lower panel 40, the inclined rib 91 is in contact with the left bearing portion 89, so The lower panel 40 moves to the right in FIG. Although the claw portion 90 is locked to the outer end surface of the left bearing portion 92, as shown in FIG. 33, the claw portion 90 bends so as to come off from the outer end surface of the left bearing portion 92 as the lower panel 40 moves.
