Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to an electrical component mounting device for a two-tub type washing machine used in general households.

Conventional configuration and problems thereof Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 1, in this type of electrical component mounting device, a panel stand 2 is placed on top of a washing tub and dehydration tub 1, and a display board 3 has a After fixing various electrical components with screws etc., the display board 3 is attached to the panel stand 2.
The electrical components are generally housed in a closed space 4 having a substantially triangular cross section and constituted by the panel stand 2 and the display board 3. However, in this configuration, in order to secure the closed space 4 with a substantially triangular cross section necessary for storing the electrical components, the panel stand 2 and the display board 3 must necessarily be large parts. In practice, it is impossible to save space, and as a result, there are drawbacks such as restrictions on installation locations, increased packaging time, and increased transportation costs. Therefore, some products have lowered the height of the product by configuring the panel section to have a trapezoidal cross section, but in this case, it is important to provide a boss section for mounting electrical components on the sloped section of the roughly trapezoidal cross section. Due to this problem, there were disadvantages such as being limited in the height direction and making it difficult to secure enough storage space to store electrical components. Also,
The electrical components are directly attached to the display board 3 in the former example, and to the boss portion 5 provided on the panel stand in the latter example with screws, etc., and are held within the closed space 4, making it easy to transport the product. There was also a drawback that the base of the boss portion 5 would turn white or break due to the impact of time and the like.

Purpose of the invention The present invention eliminates the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks.
The present invention provides a device for mounting electrical components such as washing machines, etc., which has a simple configuration, improves mounting strength, and saves space.

Structure of the Invention The electrical component mounting device of the present invention is for mounting electrical components on an inclined portion inside a panel stand having a substantially trapezoidal cross section via a mounting bracket. That is, the panel stand has a plurality of boss portions vertically provided near the connecting portion between the upper surface portion and the inclined portion, each having a substantially trapezoidal cross section, and a rib provided at a position slightly away from the boss portions. On the other hand, the mounting bracket is provided with a plurality of ears bent into an L-shape from the main body, each having a mounting hole for attaching to the boss part with a screw, etc., near the center of the mounting bracket main body. A penetration hole for inserting an electrical component and a mounting hole for attaching an electrical component are provided, and the lower part is bent into an L shape toward the side wall of the panel stand. Due to the structure of this panel stand and mounting bracket, the upper end of the mounting bracket comes into contact with the rib provided on the panel stand, and the lower part is curved to the extent that it comes into contact with the side wall of the panel stand, so that it can be mounted on the panel stand. After the metal fittings are attached, the structure with the panel stand forms a kind of box shape, which provides strong strength.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In Figures 3 to 5, 1 is a washing tub and dehydration tank, and 2 is a panel stand formed on the top of the washing tub and dehydration tub 1.The shape of the panel is fixed due to the practical operability of electrical components. It has a box shape with a substantially trapezoidal cross section and a sloped portion 7 at one end. The electrical component main body is housed in a closed space 4 constructed within the box-shaped panel stand 2 and above the washing tub/dehydration tub 1. This panel stand 2 is provided with a plurality of boss parts 9 hanging down inside the closed space part 4 near the connecting part between the inclined part 7 and the upper surface part 8,
A rib 10 is provided at a position slightly apart from the boss portion 9 and at a position where the upper end portion of a mounting bracket 11 (to be described later) comes into contact. 11 is a mounting bracket, and the boss part 9
A plurality of ears 13 having mounting holes 12 that are fixed with screws or the like are provided in an L-shape extending from the main body 16 of the mounting bracket 11. penetration hole 14 and mounting hole 15
A lower part 22 of the main body 16 is bent in an L-shape toward the side wall of the panel stand 2. 17 is an electrical component, and 18 is a knob for turning on and off the electrical component.

Panel stand 2 and mounting bracket 1 configured as above
1 to attach and assemble the electrical component 17, first insert the knob 18 of the electrical component 17 into the insertion hole 14 of the mounting bracket 11, insert the screw 20 into the mounting hole 15, and then attach the electrical component 17. It is attached to the mounting bracket 11. Next, the upper end 21 of the mounting bracket 11 to which the electrical component 17 is attached is brought into contact with the vicinity of the base of the rib 10 provided on the panel stand 2, and the knob 18 is inserted into the through hole provided on the inclined part 7 of the panel stand 2. Insert into hole 19.

According to the above, even if the upper surface part 8 of the panel stand 2 is pushed strongly, the upper end 21 of the mounting bracket 11 attached to the boss part 9 of the panel stand 2 is attached to the base of the rib 10, so that the panel stand 2 is Elongation can be prevented, and furthermore, even if the inclined part 7 of the panel stand 2 is pushed, the rib 10 provided on the upper part of the panel stand 2 and the upper end 21 of the mounting bracket 11 come into contact with each other, so that deformation can be prevented. Conversely, even if the knob 18 of the electrical component 17 is pulled, the L-shaped extended end of the lower part 22 of the mounting bracket 11 comes into contact with the side wall of the panel stand 2, thereby preventing deformation. Furthermore, since the boss portion 9 of the panel stand 2 is provided at the connecting portion between the inclined portion 7 and the upper surface portion 8, sink marks and the like during molding are not noticeable, resulting in an excellent appearance.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the invention, the mounting bracket can be
Its ends are in contact with the side wall of the panel stand and the ribs on the top of the panel stand, and the mounting bracket and the panel stand form a box shape, increasing the strength of the panel stand itself. Moreover, since the panel stand has a substantially trapezoidal cross section, there is no need for large parts like in the past, which saves space, reduces packaging time, and is advantageous in terms of cost. It can be made into something.
