Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Field of Application The present invention relates to a washing machine equipped with a washing machine in which a washing machine having an input port at the top is built into one side of a top plate provided with a washing basin.

Structure of the conventional example and its problems As shown in FIG. 1, in the conventional electric washing machine, the operating body 1 for the power switch, the operating body 2 for the water level adjustment switch, etc. are mounted on a back guard part 4 erected at the rear of the main body 3. It is set in. By the way, when the washing machine is not in use, there are cases where the lid 6 of the washing tub 5 is closed and objects are placed on the lid 6. Do not damage the switch connected to the power switch, or place a wet cloth etc. on the power switch to allow water to enter the power switch, causing electrical leakage.
There is a disadvantage that accidents such as electric shock may occur. Moreover, there is a problem that children or the like may forcefully operate the operating bodies 1 and 2, shortening the life of the switch or the like. In addition, although the washing machine and the washstand were installed side by side as independent units, the washing machine and the washstand were at different top levels, making it a step further in terms of usability. Note that 7 in the figure is a washstand provided adjacent to the main body 3 of the washing machine.

Purpose of the invention The present invention takes into account the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and aims to provide a washbasin with a washing machine that can protect switches and the like and is also good in terms of performance and usability.

Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention arranges a washing tub with an input port on the top surface on one side of a top plate equipped with a washtub, and forms the periphery of the input opening of this washing tub one step lower. At the same time, an operating body such as a switch is provided on this stepped portion, the upper end of which is set lower than the top surface of the top plate, and the input port including the stepped portion and the operating body are opened and closed so that the top surface is flush with the surface of the top plate when closed. It is equipped with an opening/closing lid that can be opened and closed, so if you place something on top of the lid, it will not damage the power switch, etc., and there is no risk of accidents such as electrical leakage or electric shock due to placing wet cloth, etc. Furthermore, when the opening/closing lid is closed, the usability is greatly improved, such as being able to place items across the opening/closing lid and the top plate, and the design is also improved by making the top surface clear. It is something that you have.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in Figures 2 to 4.
This will be explained based on the diagram.

In the figure, reference numeral 8 denotes a washstand with a washbowl 9 on its top surface, and 10 a washing machine which has a common top plate 11 with the washstand 8 and is equipped with a washing tub/dehydration tub 12 inside. The washing machine 10 is provided with an input port 11a on the top plate 11 of the washing machine 10 located above the washing tub and dehydration tank 12, and the periphery of the input port 11a is formed one step lower, and this stepped portion 11b, set the upper end lower than the top surface of the top plate 11, and open/close the lid 13.
Operation bodies 14 and 15 such as a power switch and other water level adjustment switches are provided at positions covered by
5 and the step portion 11b are covered. The opening/closing lid 13 has a side plate 16 at its edge that is higher than the operating bodies 14 and 15,
That is, the inner side is formed in a concave shape, so that the operating bodies 14 and 15 are covered without coming into contact with the opening/closing lid 13. In addition, the portion of the top plate 11 that corresponds to the opening/closing lid 13 is lowered further, so that the opening/closing lid 1 when closed is lowered.
3 is substantially flush with the top plate 11.

According to the above structure, the washing machine cannot be used unless the opening/closing lid 13 is opened, which is useful in preventing children from playing pranks, and the opening/closing lid 13 is also useful.
Even if something is placed on top of the switch, the power switch etc. will not be damaged because it is covered by the opening/closing lid 13, and accidents such as electric shock and leakage caused by water entering the switch section can also be prevented. Furthermore, when the opening/closing lid 13 is closed, the upper surface of the opening/closing lid and the top plate surface are configured to be on the same surface, so that items can be placed across the top plate of the opening/closing lid, which improves usability and performance. It will be good.

Effects of the invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the present invention, by covering the operating elements such as the power switch and water level adjustment switch with an opening/closing lid, it is possible to prevent damage to the operating elements and improve safety. Furthermore, since the top surface of the opening/closing lid and the surface of the top plate are on the same level when the opening/closing lid is closed, it is easy to use, as items can be placed across the opening/closing lid and the top plate. It is what it is.
