Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide an outer case of washing machine easy to deassemble after the end of use and valuable in reuse by forming a corner plate and an outer frame and a foot part base out of stainless steel plate, and fitting and fixing the bases of front and rear foot parts to the lower part of the outer frame in the horizontal direction. CONSTITUTION:All of an outer frame 1, front foot base 2, rear foot base 3, control foot 4b, lock nut 5 and corner plate 7 are made of stainless steel plate. The front and rear foot bases 2, 3 are fixed slidably from the front and rear. With such arrangement, fore and aft adjustment can be made possible as well as up and down adjustment at the time of installing a washing machine, thereby improving installation characteristics. In disposing such a washing machine, it is effective on environment portection because it is composed of stainless material valuable in reuse and easy to disassemble.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a structure of an outer box of a washing machine, and more particularly to an outer box of a washing machine suitable for treating industrial waste, which has been a hot topic recently.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art The conventional outer casing structure of a washing machine is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
As described in Japanese Patent No. 61791, a triangular steel plate is welded and fixed to the upper and lower parts of the outer frame and then painted, or a synthetic resin base is fixed to the lower part of the outer frame with screws as shown in FIG. Was there.

[0003]

In the structure of the outer box,
The upper and lower steel plates and the outer frame, or the lower synthetic resin base are different materials, so when disposing as industrial waste, it is not only a hassle to dispose of it, but also the collection fee is low and it can be reused. Was not suitable.

The object of the present invention is not only to satisfy the customer who uses the washing machine, but also to disassemble the outer casing of the washing machine which is easy to disassemble as a treatment after using the washing machine and has a high reusability. To provide.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The above-mentioned object is to stop the coating by making all parts constituting the outer box of the washing machine into stainless steel plates, and to consider the labor when disassembling, to fix the screws when fixing large parts. It is abolished and it is achieved by slidingly fixing the base of the leg to the outer frame.

[0006]

[Function] Since all the parts constituting the outer box of the washing machine are made of stainless steel plate, the corrosion resistance is excellent, so that no painting is required. In addition, the lower leg mounting base is a sliding type that fits into the lower part of the outer frame, so when the bank of the waterproof pan is in the way during installation, it can be moved inward and fixed. Also, when the washing machine is thrown away for the reason of life etc., if the material is stainless steel, the reuse value is high and it is useful for environmental protection. Moreover, the leg base is a slide-in type, so disassembly is easy.

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

FIG. 1 is a schematic view for explaining the structure of the outer box of the washing machine of the present invention. 1 is an outer frame, 2 is a front leg base, 3 is a rear leg base, 4 is an adjusting leg, 5 is a lock nut, 6 is a fixed leg, and 7 is a corner plate for suspending and supporting internal parts such as a water receiving tank. Here, 4a and 6 are made of an elastic resin such as rubber so as to absorb vibrations during dehydration, but other parts, 1, 2, 3, 4b, 5 and 7 are all made of stainless steel. .

On the other hand, FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 show the structure of an outer box of a conventional washing machine. In FIG. 2, a steel plate corner plate 12 and a corner base are provided at upper and lower four corners of a steel plate outer frame 8. 9 is welded and fixed and painted, and then the adjusting leg 10 and the fixing leg 11 are fixed by screwing two screws back and forth. 3 and 4, the outer frame 17 made of steel plate is used.
A base 13 made of synthetic resin is screwed to the lower part of the base by screws 14 and an adjusting leg 15 and a fixed leg 16 are attached.

In the conventional outer case shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4, the height of the legs can be adjusted vertically, but not the front and back. Therefore, it cannot be entered by hitting a high bank like a waterproof pan. Is currently laying concrete blocks and boards under the washing machine. However, in this case, since the total height of the washing machine is high, even if the washing machine is designed to be low, the height must be increased depending on the conditions of the user's installation place, which is inconvenient for a short user. In addition, even when the washing machine is disposed of, there are many parts made of different materials and it is made of a material with little utility value, and since it is difficult to disassemble, there is a possibility that the possibility of reuse is reduced. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, if all parts other than those requiring vibration damping performance are made of stainless steel, the structure is highly valuable for reuse and has the best environmental protection. On the other hand, since the front leg base 2 and the rear leg base 3 are fixed by a slide method from the front and rear, it is possible to adjust and install them while avoiding the bank of the waterproof pan at the time of installation, and moreover, as shown in FIG. If the center of both sides is made convex and stoppers are provided, it is safe to prevent the legs from moving too close to the center and destroy the balance of the body.

[0011]

According to the present invention, when the washing machine is installed, not only the up and down but also the front and back can be adjusted, and the installability is improved. Further, when the washing machine is disposed of, it is made of stainless steel material having high reusability and is easily disassembled, which is also useful for environmental protection.
