A louver 20 having a hole for exhaust is provided at the front of the exhaust duct 19. Reference numeral 21 denotes a front rail that constitutes the front portion of the top plate 18 and is a component separate from the top panel 18, and this front rail 21 has a function of maintaining the rigidity of the entire cabinet 3 and is used for fixing the louver 20. Is also using. Mounting claws 22 are provided on the upper rear surface of the front rail 21, and installation portions 23 are provided at both left and right ends. Reference numeral 24 is a mounting hole provided in the top plate 18 corresponding to the mounting claw 22 of the front rail 21, and a rail fixing portion 25 made of a nut is provided in the front upper portion of the side plate 7, and 26 is the front rail 21. It is a front rail fastening part for fixing to the installation portion 23 of the.

As shown in FIG. 5, the side plate 7 of the cabinet 3 has an outlet for inserting the plug of the fan 17, an outlet for the dryer 2, and a switch 27 interlocking with these outlets. The power supply unit 28 is provided.

The dryer 2 has studs 29 provided on the bottom surface.
Is fixed by. The studs 29 are provided at two front positions on the bottom surface of the dryer 2, and the shape thereof is a cylindrical portion having a spherical tip. Reference numeral 30 denotes an opening hole provided on the upper surface of the shelf 4 corresponding to the stud 29.

Further, as shown in FIG. 1, an adjuster 31 having a vertical adjusting function is provided below the top plate 18 above the dryer 2.

A method of installing the system laundry device configured as described above will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. First, the fixed shaft 8 is fixed to the shaft mounting portion 6 of the side plate 7. Here, the fixed position of the shelf 4 is set to the lowest position, and when the dryer 2 is installed on the shelf 4, the washing machine 1 is pulled out, the lid 33 is opened, and the front door 34 of the dryer 2 is opened.
In the case of a model in which the positional relationship is such that when the door is opened, the fixed position of the fixed shaft 8 is moved upward and the front door 34 of the dryer 2 is
It is set at a position where the lid 33 of the washing machine 1 does not interfere. next,
The shaft mounting part 6 used earlier so that the shelf 4 becomes horizontal
The slit 14 of the shelf 4 is aligned with the fixing hole 13 corresponding to the upper end portion 11 of the metal fitting 10 and the fixing hole 12 and the fixing hole 12.
, And the rack 4 is temporarily fixed, and then the metal fitting 10 is fastened to the fastener 1.
It is fixed to the side plate 7 at 5. Then, the dryer 2 is placed on the shelf 4 from the front of the cabinet 3, and the dryer fixing studs 29 provided on the bottom surface of the dryer 2 are fitted into the opening holes 30 provided on the upper surface of the shelf 4. The dryer 2 is set, and after the dryer 2 is installed, the adjuster 31 is lowered to fix the dryer 2.

Thus, the shaft mounting portion 6 and the metal fitting 1
By changing the installation position of 0 and changing the fixed position of the shelf 4, the dryer 2 is moved upward, so that the lid 33 of the washing machine 1 can be moved.
And the front door 34 of the dryer 2 can be prevented from interfering with each other, and it is possible to support various types of washing machines / dryers having different shapes of the lid 33 of the washing machine 1 or the front door 34 of the dryer 2. . Moreover, if there is a margin of interference between the lid 33 of the washing machine 1 and the front door 34 of the dryer 2, the washing machine with a high overall height can be stored regardless of the height dimension when the lid 33 of the washing machine 1 is opened. It is possible to handle a large washing machine.

The fixed position of the dryer 2 is the stud 2
9 and the opening hole 31 are surely determined, and the dryer 2 is pressed from above by the adjuster 31, so that the dryer 2 can be easily moved even when a force is applied to the dryer 2 when putting in or taking out laundry. It doesn't move. Therefore, it is possible to secure a sufficient space for intake and exhaust when the dryer 2 is operated, and it is possible to prevent a situation in which the drying time becomes very long or the dryer 2 breaks down. It can be done. Furthermore, with this configuration, all the work of installing or removing the dryer 2 can be performed from above the shelf 4, and there is no problem even if the washing machine 1 is installed. That is, the configuration of the present embodiment makes it possible to install and fix the dryer 2 very easily, and to improve workability and serviceability. Further, the adjuster 31 can adjust the fixed height according to the size of the dryer 2 and can be applied to various kinds of dryers having different heights.

Next, when the dryer 2 is installed from the front of the cabinet 3, the top of the dryer 2 is the top plate 18 because the shelf 4 is installed at the upper position or the total height of the dryer 2 is high. In the case of hitting the front rail 21, the front rail 21 can be fixed after the dryer 2 is installed.
The fixing method at that time will be described with reference to FIGS. First, after fixing the shelf 4 at a predetermined position, the dryer 2 is fixed to the shelf 4
Set on the upper surface of. Then, the mounting claw 2 of the front rail 21
2 is inserted into the mounting hole 24 of the top plate 18 from below, and the installation portion 23 of the front rail 21 is fixed to the rail fixing portion 25 of the side plate 7 by the front rail fastening component 26.

In this way, when the dryer 2 is in a positional relationship where it hits the front bar 21 of the top plate 18 of the cabinet 3, the front bar 21 of the top plate 18 can be removed, and the front bar 21 can be removed after the dryer 2 is installed. By fixing to the cabinet 3, shelves 4
The dimension from the upper surface to the lower surface of the top plate 18 of the cabinet 3 can be effectively used, and a large dryer having a high overall height can be accommodated. Then, the front rail 21 can be securely fixed to the cabinet 3 with a simple work and a small number of parts.
