Abstract

(57) [Abstract] [Purpose] It is an object of the present invention to provide an operation panel for preventing a side surface of the operation panel from rising in a two-tub type washing machine including an operation panel and a panel base fitted and attached thereto. . [Structure] An operation panel 8 provided above the washing tank 2 and a panel base 9 that is fitted and attached to the operation panel 8, and both side surfaces of the operation panel 8 cover both side surfaces of the panel base 9 and are attached. In the two-tub washing machine, a rib 11 is provided which is in contact with the inner side surface of the operation panel 8 and has a hooking recess 10 provided below.
On the other hand, when the operation panel 8 is fitted to the panel base 9, the hooking recess 10 and the protruding rib 12 are formed on the panel base 9 or the washing tank 2 which engages with each other.
And are engaged with each other to prevent the side surface of the operation panel 8 from floating outside the main body.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a panel device of a two-tub type washing machine for washing clothes to be washed.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 Conventionally, a two-tub washing machine has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, the operation panel 8 and the panel base 9 fitted to the operation panel 8 are provided above the washing tank 2.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the case of such a structure, the end of the side surface 8'of the operation panel 8 floats outward, and it protrudes from the side surface of the main body 1 or the washing tub 2 and looks bad in appearance, and is touched by the hand. It is also very dangerous. In the past, in order to prevent this, the screw 13 was used for fixing, but the screw head protruded and the appearance was not good. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to prevent lifting of the end surface of the side surface 8'of the operation panel 8.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention forms a rib having a hooking recess on the inside of a side surface of an operation panel, and a protruding rib corresponding to the rib is provided on a panel base or a washing tank. The protrusion ribs are engaged with each other to prevent the side surface of the operation panel from floating.

[0005]

[Action]

 Since the panel device of the present invention has the above-described configuration, the side end portion of the operation panel does not float up and pop out of the main body without using screws or the like. There is no fear of hanging.

[0006]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIGS. 1 and 2, reference numeral 1 is a main body of a washing machine. Inside the main body 1, a washing tub 2 in which a washing tub 3 and a dehydration tub 4 are integrally formed is provided, and 5 is a bottom portion for supporting the main body 1. The base 6 includes a washing side lid, 7 a dehydration side lid, and 8 an operation panel having a time switch attached thereto and a panel base 9 fitted to the operation panel. Both side surfaces of the operation panel 8 are provided so as to cover both side surfaces of the panel base 9, and the operation panel 8 and the panel base 9 are fixed by tapping screws 14.

Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a rib 11 having a hooking recess 10 at the lower side is formed in contact with the inside of the side surface 8 ′ of the operation panel 8, while the end of the washing tank 2 corresponding thereto is formed. A protruding rib 12 is provided above, and when the operation panel 8 and the panel base 9 are fitted, the hooking recess 10 and the protruding rib 12 are engaged with each other.

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, a protruding rib 12 ′ is provided above the end of the panel base 9 and is engaged with the hooking recess 10 formed inside the side surface 8 ′ of the operation panel 8. Of.

[0009]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, according to the present invention, the rib having the hooking concave portion is formed in contact with the inside of the side surface of the operation panel, and the protruding rib corresponding to the rib is provided on the panel base or the washing tank. The end does not float up, and it does not protrude from the body or the side of the washing tank. It has a good appearance and it is not dangerous to touch it with your hands. Further, there are various effects such as the need for fixing with screws or the like.
