Description

Washing machine

Technical field

The present invention relates to have the washing machine of parts of electric such as water-supply valve and pulsating pump and water filling parts.

Background technology

At present, this washing machine has Fig. 7 and structure shown in Figure 8 usually.Below this structure is described.

As shown in Figures 7 and 8, have the top of the housing 2 of Wash tub 1 that upper body 3 is housed at interior support, the substantial middle of upper body 3 forms clothes inlet 4, covers with covering 5.Water-supply valve 6, pulsating pump 7 and water filling parts 8 are directly installed on the rear portion of upper body 3 respectively by screw 9 or chimeric pawl etc., cover with back side panel 10.

The front portion of upper body 3 forms printed circuit board (PCB) incorporating section 11, covers this printed circuit board (PCB) incorporating section 11 from the top, is provided with the front side plate 13 with button 12, operation with switch etc. is installed with printed circuit board (PCB) 14 at the back side of this front side plate 13.

In this existing washing machine, parts of electric such as water-supply valve 6, pulsating pump 7 and water filling parts 8 etc. are directly installed on the rear portion of upper body 3 respectively by screw 9 or chimeric pawl etc., but the clothes inlet 4 that is formed at upper body 3 is outward appearance portions, especially for a long time at installing component, necessary careful attention during assembling is in order to avoid produce scuffing etc.

Owing to must be formed for installing respectively the shape of parts of electric such as water-supply valve 6, pulsating pump 7 and water filling parts 8 etc. on the upper body 3, so the unusual complexity of upper body 3 shapes.

Also need not develop multiple width and the different washing machine of degree of depth equidimension on an equal basis according to user's requirement or washing capacity.In this case, even parts of electric such as the water-supply valve of interior dress 6 and pulsating pump 7 or water filling parts 8 are identical,, can not fully realize the rationalization of assembling for each parts being directly installed on upper body 3.

And,,, must change inside components even the washing machine of same size also will be for example changes the kind etc. of pulsating pump 7 by having or not of frequency conversion function etc. recently along with the diversified progress of washing machine.In this case, must redesign upper body 3 according to this machine.

Summary of the invention

The present invention researches and develops for solving above-mentioned problem, its objective is that reduction directly is installed on the number of spare parts on the upper body, and the probability of damage with the shape summary of above-mentioned housing, reduces cost simultaneously when reducing to install.

For achieving the above object, first aspect present invention provides a kind of washing machine, and it comprises: housing, and it is at the interior support Wash tub; Upper body, it is installed in the top of described housing and has clothes inlet in substantial middle; Support unit, the rear portion that it is equipped with pulsating pump and water-supply valve and is installed on described upper body from the below, described pulsating pump is provided with the first feedwater portion that is used for to the inside feedwater on top, described water-supply valve is provided with the second feedwater portion that is used for to the inside feedwater on top, described upper body has the opening that is used to install installing component, described installing component be installed on described support unit on the corresponding position of described first feedwater portion and the described second feedwater portion on have peristome respectively.

Thus, because the installing component that has with the shape corresponding shape of support unit can be installed on upper body, even it is different with shape to establish the size of part in for example pulsating pump etc., under the different situation such as the position of the feedwater position of water-supply valve and the feedwater portion of pulsating pump, also can constitute by same upper body.

Second aspect present invention, in the invention of above-mentioned first aspect, described support unit has two kinds at least, and these at least two kinds of support units are according to its kind, the position difference of described first feedwater portion and the described second feedwater portion, described upper body can be installed described at least two kinds of support units.

Thus, even it is different with shape to establish the size of part in for example pulsating pump etc., under the different situation such as the position of the feedwater position of water-supply valve and the feedwater portion of pulsating pump, also can constitute by same upper body.

Third aspect present invention provides a kind of washing machine, and it comprises: housing, and it is at the interior support Wash tub; Upper body, it is installed in the top of described housing and has clothes inlet in substantial middle; Support unit, the rear portion that it is equipped with pulsating pump and water-supply valve and is installed on described upper body from the below, described pulsating pump is provided with the first feedwater portion that is used for to the inside feedwater on top, described water-supply valve is provided with the second feedwater portion that is used for to the inside feedwater on top, described support unit has two kinds at least, these at least two kinds of support units are according to its kind, the position difference of described first feedwater portion and the described second feedwater portion, described upper body can be installed described at least two kinds of support units, and with at least two kinds of support units on corresponding each position in the position of the described first feedwater portion and the position of the described second feedwater portion on have a plurality of peristomes, from the top of described a plurality of peristomes installing component is installed, its be installed on described upper body on the corresponding position of the described first feedwater portion equipped of support unit and the described second feedwater portion on have peristome respectively.

Fourth aspect present invention in the invention of the above-mentioned third aspect, is formed with groove around described a plurality of peristomes of described upper body, be provided with the rib chimeric with described groove below described installing component.Thus, can prevent that rainwater etc. from invading from the peristome of installing component and upper body.

Fifth aspect present invention, in the invention of above-mentioned fourth aspect, setting is from the outstanding downwards on every side below rib of the described peristome of described installing component, the rain that horizontal direction is set below the described second feedwater portion is taken, cost the configuration seal at described rain, by described support unit is installed on described upper body, described below rib is pressed into described seal.Thus, can prevent that rainwater etc. from invading from the peristome of installing component and upper body.
