[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a washing machine which can be installed on a washing machine mounting pan across a bank on the outer periphery thereof.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a washing machine has been used by placing it on a washing machine mounting pan. This is to protect the floor of the house from water droplets falling due to water splashing inside the washing machine or dew condensation on the outer surface of the washing tub.However, washing machine mounting pans have various sizes, and Since washing machines have various sizes, especially recent washing machines tend to be large, the size of the washing machine and the size of the washing machine mounting pan do not match. The outer size of the washing machine was sometimes larger than the inner size (inner size) of the outer peripheral bank of the placing pan. In such a case, the washing machine is installed on the washing machine mounting pan across the bank of the outer peripheral portion of the washing machine mounting pan.

[0003]

However, in the case where the washing machine is installed straddling the bank on the outer peripheral portion of the washing machine mounting pan as described above, water drops falling inside the washing machine cause the washing machine mounting pan. It had a problem that it fell on the floor of the house outside and wet it.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and the object thereof is therefore to provide a washing machine mounting pan outside the washing machine mounting pan, which is installed across the outer peripheral bank of the washing machine mounting pan. resulting prevented from dropping to the floor) of a house, together, placed like
To provide a washing machine that can be obtained high supporting strength in state.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems To achieve the above object, in the washing machine of the present invention , legs are provided at the lower part of the outer box.
The base plate is connected to the base plate, and
The height of the surface is the height of the upper surface of the bank on the outer periphery of the washing machine mounting pan.
By providing a recess for higher positions Ri, in the ones that are configured to be placed across the washer placed the bank portion on a pan, the washing machine placed pan of 該台plate Is characterized in that a water receiving portion is formed in a portion located on the bank portion of the, and a drain hole is formed in a portion of the water receiving portion located on the washing machine mounting pan.

[0006]

According to the above-mentioned means, even if water drops fall inside the washing machine in a state where the washing machine is installed straddling the bank on the outer peripheral portion of the washing machine mounting pan, the water receiving section receives it. Drop from the drain hole onto the washing machine mounting pan. In this case, the washing machine is
On a base plate with legs connected to the bottom of the box,
The height of the inner upper surface is higher than the upper surface height of the bank of the washing machine mounting pan
Is provided, the washing is performed by the base plate.
It straddles the embankment of the machine mounting pan and has legs on this base plate.
By doing so, the length of the legs can be shortened by the length of the base plate.
As a result, a high strength for supporting the washing machine can be obtained.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

First, FIG. 2 shows an outer shell component 1 of the entire washing machine.
It comprises an outer box 2, a plastic base plate 3 connected under the outer box 2, and a lid 4 connected on the outer box 2. Among them, the outer box 2 internally includes a tank 5, a drive mechanism 7 mainly including a motor 6, a drain valve 8, a drain hose 9, and the like. Further, a control device 10 for controlling the operation is provided in the lid portion 4.

[0009] Then, on the base plate 3, which is the bottom,
The leg 11 whose length can be adjusted by a well-known screw or the like,
Legs 12 are provided at the rear, respectively, and further, a thin portion 14 capable of forming a downward recess 13 shown in FIG. 3 is formed on the rear side of the leg 11 at the front. In the state where the washing machine is placed on the washing machine placing pan 15 placed on the floor of the house, the outer peripheral portion of the recess 13, In this case, the size is set so that the front bank 16 can be accommodated. That is, the recess 13
Is the height of the inner top surface when the washing machine is installed.
15 higher than the top surface of the bank 16
-ing

In addition, the washing machine mounting pan 15 of the base plate 3
As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 1, a flat water receiving portion 17 is formed in a front portion which is a portion located on the bank portion 16 of the washing machine. A plurality of (in this case, two) water drain holes 18 are formed on the top 15, particularly in this case, on a portion located on the rounded upper rear edge of the bank portion 16.

In the case of the above construction, the outer dimension of the washing machine (the dimension between the front and rear outer surfaces of the legs 11, 12) is X, and the inner dimension of the washing machine mounting pan 15 (between the front and rear base inner faces of the bank 16). ) Is Y, X> Y, that is, the outer dimension X of the washing machine
Exceeds the inner dimension Y of the washing machine mounting pan 15, and in such a case, in order to install the washing machine on the washing machine mounting pan 15, first, a portion surrounded by the thin portion 14 of the base plate 3 Is cut out from the thin portion 14 to form a recess 13, and then the recess 16 wraps around the bank 16 in front of the washing machine mounting pan 15, and the washing machine is placed on the washing machine mounting pan 15. Put. Thus, the washing machine is installed on the washing machine mounting pan 15 across the bank 16 at the front thereof.

In the installed state, even if water drops fall due to water splashing inside the washing machine or dew condensation on the outer surface of the washing tub, the water drops are received by the water receiving portion 17, and the washing machine is loaded through the drain hole 18. It is dropped on the pan 15. Therefore, it is possible to avoid that the water drops fall on the floor of the house outside the washing machine mounting pan 15 and wet the house.

In the above structure, the water receiving portion 1
7, the area of the opening at the bottom of the washing machine can be reduced, so that the sound leaking through the opening can be reduced, and the noise heard by the user can be reduced. In addition, the above configuration
In the case of a washing machine, the leg 1 connected to the lower part of the outer box 2
The height of the inner upper surface in the installed state is washed
It is located higher than the upper surface height of the bank 16 of the machine mounting pan 15
