DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS One embodiment of the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a residential laundry cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a front view of the same, FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the same, and FIG. is there.

The residential laundry cabinet according to the present embodiment comprises a cabinet body (1) and an installation table (3) housed in the cabinet body (1) and on which a drum type washing machine (2) is installed. Have.

The cabinet body (1) includes a pair of left and right cabinet side plates (5) and (5), and the cabinet side plates (5).
(5) The shelves (6), (6), etc. of a plurality of stages inserted between them become the cabinet body by these shelves (6, 6).
In (1), a plurality of storage chambers (7), (7),. An opening / closing door (8) is provided between the upper portions of the cabinet side plates (5) and (5) to open and close the upper two storage rooms (7) and (7) by sliding vertically. Also, cabinet side plate
At (5), a towel hanger (9) or the like is attached.

Then, each of the shelves (6) (6)... And the opening and closing door (8)
Can be appropriately cut to adjust its width. Each of the shelves (6) (6)... Can be arbitrarily set in its height position so as to be fastened to the cabinet side plates (5) and (5) through the shelf dowels (10) (10). It has become. For this reason, the size of each storage room (7) (7) ... can be set arbitrarily, and it can respond to a plurality of types of drum type washing machines (2) having different heights and widths.

The cabinet body (1) is fixed to the cabinet side plates (5) and (5) with respect to a plurality of dowel fittings (11) (11) fixed to the inner wall material (12) of the lavatory. Engaging member (1
6) (16) are directly fixed to the inner wall member (12) by engaging them by operation from the outer surface side of the cabinet side plates (5) (5). In addition, on the surface of the inner wall material (12) to which the cabinet body (1) is fixed, wall covering materials (15) (15) having excellent waterproof properties such as Asveil (registered trademark) are stuck. The back part of the main body (1) has a good water finish. Although the present embodiment shows an example of installing a laundry cabinet for a newly built house, for an existing house, an inner wall material (1
The dowel fittings (11) (11) are fixed to 2) via a curl plug.

The cabinet body (1) attached in this manner is arranged from the floor (13) of the washroom to the ceiling (14). Therefore, it is possible to eliminate the danger that the cabinet body (1) will fall over due to vibration such as an earthquake.

The mounting table (3) includes a pair of left and right side plates (20) (20).
And the top plate (21) inserted between the upper ends of the side plates (20) and (20)
And a bottom plate (22) extending between the lower ends of the side plates (20) and (20). The bottom plate (22) has a high rigidity that can withstand a load of 100 kg or more. In the bottom of the storage room (7). And
The upper surface of the top plate (21) is arranged at a height of 30 to 40 cm from the floor surface (13) and serves as an installation surface (24) of the drum type washing machine (2). The internal space of the mounting base (3) below the mounting surface (24) is a storage space (25). The top plate (21) and the bottom plate (22) of the mounting table (3) are cut as appropriate in the same manner as the shelves (6), (6)... And the opening and closing door (8) of the cabinet body (1). Can be adjusted.

The top plate (21) is provided at its rear end with a notch (31) through which a drain hose (30) of the drum type washing machine (2) is passed, and penetrated the notch (31). The drain hose (30)
It is designed to be connected to the drain port on the floor (13) that has been waterproofed.

The bottom plate (22) has a depth of the top plate (21).
Of the floor (13) so as not to interfere with the drain. If the rigidity of the mounting base (3) can be maintained by the side plates (20) and (20) and the top plate (21), the bottom plate (22)
May be abolished. As for the water supply hose,
When the hydrant is on the floor (13), it may be connected to the hydrant by penetrating the notch (31) in the same way as the drainage hose (30), and when the hydrant is on the inner wall surface, Cabinet side plate
What is necessary is just to penetrate the notch formed in (5) and to connect to a water tap.

In the storage space (25) of the mounting table (3), a storage tray with a drawer-type door (33) for storing small items such as rags, buckets, clothespins, or finishing agents and softeners. (34) is installed. This storage tray (34)
It is waterproofed and has a depth of only about half the depth of the top plate (21), similar to the bottom plate (22), so that it does not interfere with the drain hose (30) or the drain port. Then, if the storage tray (34) is removed from the storage space (25), the storage space (2
5) is opened so that the drainage hose (30) can be easily attached and inspection for water leakage can be easily performed.

The drum type washing machine (2) is installed on the installation surface (24) of the installation base (3) and is housed in the lowermost storage room (7). The shelf plate (6) and the left and right cabinet side plates (5) and (5) are arranged with a gap therebetween. In each of the gaps around the drum-type washing machine (2), gap packings (35) (35) for vibration isolation are interposed. In addition, the drum-type washing machine (2) is installed on the installation surface (24) via a vibration-proof material (36) such as a vibration-proof rubber, so that the vibration from the drum-type washing machine (2) can be improved. Is easy to absorb.

The laundry cabinet of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example,
As shown in FIG. 5, the storage tray (34) with the opening / closing door (8) and the door (33) is eliminated, and each storage room of the cabinet body (1) is removed.
(7) (7) ... and the storage space (25) of the installation stand (3) may be opened. In the case of this structure, a significant cost reduction can be achieved by reducing the number of parts.

As shown in FIG. 6, on the front side of the cabinet body (1), almost the same height as the cabinet side plates (5) (5), that is, the height from the floor surface (13) to the ceiling surface (14). The doors (41) and (41) of the double door type having the opening may be attached to open and close all of the storage rooms (7) (7) and the storage space (25). In this case, the drum washing machine (2) can also be covered and the appearance can be improved.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, another side plate (42) is provided outside the cabinet body (1), and between the side plate (42) and the side plate (5) opposed thereto. Multiple shelves (4
3) By passing (43), several storage rooms (4
5) (45) ... may be provided. In this embodiment, the storage chambers (7), (7),... Above the lowermost storage chamber (7) in which the drum-type washing machine (2) is stored are opened and closed doors (46) ( 46), and the uppermost storage room (45) of the new storage rooms (45) (45)... Is opened and closed by the small door (47). In this case, the storage amount can be greatly increased.

[0021]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the laundry cabinet of the present invention, the drum type washing machine is raised from the floor by a predetermined height, specifically, by a height of 30 to 40 cm. Because it can be installed, you can work in a comfortable posture with less burden on the waist and knees without being forced to work bent down like the conventional,
The usability of the drum type washing machine can be remarkably improved. Moreover, since the space below the installation surface of the drum type washing machine is effectively used as a storage space for small items, it is possible to provide a laundry cabinet having excellent storage properties.

Further, since a notch for inserting a hose is formed in the top plate of the installation table, when the drum type washing machine is installed on the installation table, the hoses are connected to a water tap or a drain port on the floor surface. Can be easily connected to. Further, by mounting a drawer-type tray in the storage space, it is possible to easily store and take out small items, and it is also possible to eliminate a problem that the floor surface and the like are soiled by the small items.
