Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, more detailed explanation than necessary may be omitted.

It should be noted that the accompanying drawings and the following description are provided for those skilled in the art to fully understand the present disclosure, and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

(Embodiment 1)
Hereinafter, the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

The housing 1 constitutes the exterior of the washing machine, and the water tank 3 is elastically supported inside by the suspension mechanism 2. The upper part of the water tank 3 is closed by the inner lid 7 so as to be openable and closable. The protective tool 4 is fixed so as to cover the lower part of the drive mechanism.

On the upper surface of the housing 1, a loading port 8 for loading laundry into the water tank 3 is provided, and the loading port 8 is rotatably covered by a lid rotatably supported by the housing 1.

The upper portion of the housing 1 is formed so as to gradually increase toward the rear, and a liquid agent tank 10 of an automatic liquid agent charging device for automatically charging the liquid agent is arranged at a position behind the charging port 8. The front surface of the liquid agent tank 10 faces the inlet 8 and is arranged so that it can be pulled out toward the inlet 8 side, and the liquid detergent and the softener in the liquid agent tank 10 are supplied into the water tank 3 at an appropriate timing.

The washing machine configured as described above is prevented from being damaged during transportation by the packing device during transportation.

The washing machine is placed on the bottom buffer 15, and the protective equipment 4 is supported by the lower foam member 5 of the bottom buffer 15. The housing 1 is covered with a box body 14 made of corrugated cardboard or the like, and an upper cushioning body (not shown) is provided on the upper part of the box body 14 to support the upper part of the housing 1. The box body 14 covers the bottom cushioning body 15 and is bound together with the bottom cushioning body 15 by a band or the like.

Since the water tank 3 is elastically supported by the suspension mechanism 2, when the washing machine is transported, not only the slight vibration generated by the transportation by a truck or the like but also the irregular product drop and the side surface when handling the load. It swings inside the housing 1 due to the impact.

The packing parts for suppressing the swing of the water tank 3 will be described below.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the packed state of the upper part of the washing machine, FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the state of receiving impact energy during transportation in the packed state of the upper part of the washing machine, and FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a cushioning member of a washing machine.

As shown in FIG. 6, the cushioning member 20 is formed in a substantially T-shape, and is mounted so that the end portion abuts on the peripheral edge of the insertion port 8 in a state where the rising piece 21 formed on one end side is raised. To. An opening 22 is formed in the central portion, and the opening 22 is fitted to the handle portion of the inner lid 7. A cut-up piece 23 is formed on the buffer member 20, and the cut-up piece 23 is located in front of the liquid agent tank 10. As a result, the cushioning member 20 regulates the swing of the water tank 3.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, a styrofoam member 30 made of styrofoam is attached from above the cushioning member 20. A part of the foam member 30 is inserted into the locking hole 24 formed in the rising piece 21, and the cushioning member 20 is fitted into a recess (not shown) in which the outer shape of the cushioning member 20 is close to the outer shape. It is mounted so as to be close to the periphery of the insertion port 8. As a result, when a large impact such as a product drop that occurs when handling a load is applied and the swing of the water tank 3 becomes so large that the shock absorber 20 cannot regulate the swing, the outer shape of the foam member 30 is inserted. It contacts the peripheral edge of the mouth 8 and regulates the swing of the water tank 3.

Further, in the foam member 30, the foam member 30 is located in front of the cut-up piece 23 with the foam member 30 attached to prevent the cut-up piece 23 from falling, and the cut-up piece 23 is the foam member 30. It is located between the liquid agent tank 10 and the liquid agent tank 10.

When the water tank 3 moves to the rear side of the housing 1 due to the impact during transportation, the impact is large, the water tank 3 moves greatly, and the water tank 3 swings due to the strength of the combination of the cushioning member 20 and the foaming member 30. It is assumed that it cannot be regulated.

When the water tank 3 moves significantly due to the impact during transportation, the foaming member 30 moves to the liquid agent tank 10, but the cut-up piece 23 is located between the foaming member 30 and the liquid agent tank 10, and the foaming member 30 is raised. The piece 23 prevents the foaming member 30 from coming into contact with the front surface of the liquid agent tank 10. As a result, it is possible to prevent the foaming member 30 from damaging the front surface of the liquid agent tank 10.

In the present embodiment, the liquid agent tank 10 of the automatic liquid agent charging device is arranged on the peripheral edge of the charging port 8, but a detergent case for manual detergent charging may be arranged, and other constituent requirements. It can also be used for arranging. Further, it can be adopted in a configuration in which a design such as a pattern is applied to the peripheral portion of the input port 8.

The packing device of the washing machine in the present disclosure has a simple structure even when the water tank moves due to a strong impact during transportation or the like, and prevents the foaming member from coming into contact with the inner surface of the inlet, resulting in damage to the inner surface of the inlet. It can also be applied to washing machines that do not have an inner lid because it can suppress such things.
