って、操作パネルを本体の上面部に設けることにより、
該上面部をフラット化できる。(Prior Art) In a conventional washing machine, an operation box is provided at the upper rear part of the main body to project upward, and an operation panel is provided at the front part of the operation box. However, in recent years, in order to improve the appearance of washing machines, there has been a demand for flattening of the top surface of the main body. In this case, in a washing machine using a microcomputer, only so-called touch switches are provided on the operation panel, so the operation panel is flat. Therefore, by providing the operation panel on the top of the main body,
The upper surface portion can be made flat.

た後の構成が大形化するという問題点があった。(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) On the other hand, for example, in a washing machine using a mechanical timer, the operation knob of the timer is provided protruding from the operation panel. There was a drawback that the upper surface of the main body could not be flattened because the knob protruded upward. Also, when packing a washing machine, the operation knob protrudes, so the thickness of the cushioning material must be increased accordingly to protect the protruding part, which increases costs and reduces packing costs. There was a problem that the later configuration became larger.
そこで、本発明の目的は、本体上面部をフラット化する
ことができると共に、梱包する場合のコストを安くでき
、また、梱包後の構成を小形化できる洗濯機を提供する
にある。SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a washing machine in which the upper surface of the main body can be flattened, packaging costs can be reduced, and the structure after packaging can be made smaller.
［発明の構成］
（課題を解決するための手段）
本発明の洗濯機は、本体の上面部に操作パネルを設けた
ものにおいて、前記操作パネルに操作摘みを突出状態と
非突出状態との間で出入れ可能に設けたところに特徴を
有する。[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) A washing machine of the present invention is provided with an operation panel on the upper surface of the main body, and the operation knob is arranged on the operation panel between a protruding state and a non-protruding state. It is unique in that it can be accessed and removed.
（作用）
上記手段によれば、本体の上面部に設けられた操作パネ
ルに対して、操作摘みを非突出状態にすることが可能と
なる。これにより、本体の上面部をフラット化できる。(Function) According to the above means, it is possible to make the operation knob non-protruding with respect to the operation panel provided on the upper surface of the main body. This allows the top surface of the main body to be flattened.
また、このようにフラット化した状態で洗濯機を梱包す
れば、突出部分がないから緩衝材の厚み寸法を大きくす

梱包後の構成が小形化する。一方、操作摘みを操作する
場合には、操作パネルに対して操作摘みを突出状態にす
る。これにより、突出した操作摘みを適宜操作すること
ができる。In addition, if the washing machine is packed in a flat state like this, there is no need to increase the thickness of the cushioning material because there are no protruding parts, and the cost is reduced accordingly.
The configuration after packaging becomes smaller. On the other hand, when operating the operating knob, the operating knob is brought into a protruding state with respect to the operating panel. Thereby, the protruding operation knob can be operated as appropriate.

As shown in the figure, when the movable member 16 is in the upper position, the tip 20a of the lock bin 20 is located at the upper end of the groove 22, and this state is maintained. Then, when the knob 18a is pressed downward and the movable body 16 moves downward against the spring force of the compression coil spring 17,
Correspondingly, the tip 20g moves within the groove 22 along the arrow A and is positioned within the recess 21a at the bottom of the heart-shaped cam 21, as shown in FIG. As a result, the movable member 16
is in the lower position, and this state is maintained. In this state, when the knob 18a is pressed again and the movable body 16 moves slightly downward against the spring force of the compression coil spring 17, the tip 20a moves from the recess 21a into the groove 22 as indicated by arrow B. Move slightly diagonally downward along the . After that, when the pressure on the knob 18a is stopped, the movable body 16 moves upward due to the spring force of the compression coil spring 17, and the tip 20a moves upwardly into the groove 20a.

゜１２を適宜回動操作することができる。In this case, since the upper surface of the main body 4 is made flat, the main body 4
It becomes easier to place things on top of it, and it also becomes easier to perform cleaning such as wiping. Additionally, if the washing machine is packaged with the top surface flattened in this way, unlike conventional packaging, there is no need to increase the thickness of the cushioning material because there is no protruding part, which can reduce costs and reduce packaging costs. The subsequent configuration can be made smaller. On the other hand, when operating the operating knobs 9, 10.12 in the non-protruding state,
When the operation knobs 9, 10, 12 are slightly depressed, the compression coil spring 17, lock pin 20, heart-shaped cam 21, etc. cause the operation knobs 9, 10, 12 to protrude from the operation panel 5 (see FIG. 2). As a result, the protruding operation knobs 9, 10
12 can be rotated as appropriate.

Since the structure is such that water, etc. can be wrapped around the operation panel 5,
Even if water enters through the gap between the through hole 5a and the cover member 18, it is possible to reliably prevent water from splashing onto the shaft 14 of the washing timer 8, thereby improving waterproof performance. Further, in the above embodiment, since the flange portion 18c is formed at the lower end of the peripheral wall portion 18b, when the infiltrated water or the like is transmitted to the cover member 18 and flows, the water or the like is shaken off by the flange portion 18c. This will further improve waterproof performance.
