Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reinforce the fixation between the housing and the water tank of a washing machine during transport, and prevent the housing and the water storage tank from being damaged. SOLUTION: This packing base 1 is constituted of a base main body 2 on which the housing of a washing machine is loaded, and a grid-shaped supporting base 3 to support the lower end part of a water tank which is attached in the housing. The supporting base 3 is constituted of lateral and longitudinal grid forming members 16, 17 which respectively have a confronted pair of side walls 20, 21, and are combined on the top and the bottom so as to be orthogonal to each other, and the side walls 20, 21 of which form a grid-shape, and a receiving member 19 which is housed at the central part of the grid, and receives a fixing utensil 50 at the lower end part of the water tank. When the fixing utensil 50 is fitted in the central part of the grid, the four sides of the fixing utensil 50 are stably fixed by being surrounded by the side walls 20, 21.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pedestal on which a washing machine is mounted so as not to move in a packing storage box when the washing machine is packed.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a pedestal used for packing home electric appliances, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3000674.

This packing pedestal, as shown in FIG.
It is composed of a tray box-shaped pedestal body 59 on which home electric appliances are placed, and a support pedestal 60 fitted in the pedestal body 59.

This pedestal body 59 is composed of an outer wall and an inner wall whose both side walls are connected to each other through a top wall 61, and the top wall 61 is fitted with the legs of the lower surface of the home electric appliance. The accommodation hole 62 is formed so that the home electric appliance placed on the top wall 61 is fixed so as not to move in the accommodation box for packing. Further, the support base 60 has a housing hole 63 at the center thereof, into which the center lower end of the home electric appliance is fitted.
The lower end of the center of the home electric appliance is fitted in 3 to support the product.

[0005]

The washing machine,
A water tank and a relatively heavy motor for rotating the water tank are installed in a relatively lightweight housing. Considering the external force applied during transportation, the motor was installed more than the housing in the packed state. The aquarium part must be firmly fixed.

However, if the conventional packing pedestal 58 is used to pack the washing machine, it is not possible to fit the lower end of the water tank, which is integrated with the heavy motor, into the accommodation hole 63 of the support base 60 to support it. However, if a horizontal external force is applied during transportation, a large inertial force acts on the motor, which is a heavy object, and the peripheral edge of the accommodation hole 63 of the support base 60 is broken, and as a result, the housing and the aquarium are not fixed. There is a problem that it is destroyed or the surface of the housing is damaged and unevenness occurs.

Therefore, the present invention provides a pedestal for packing a washing machine, which can improve the fixing of the water tank integrated with the heavy motor and reduce the damage of the washing machine during transportation. It is an issue.

[0008]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a pedestal body on which a housing of a washing machine is placed, and a water tank fitted in the pedestal body and installed in the housing. The pedestal body is composed of a double-girder-shaped support base that supports the lower end portion, and the pedestal body is formed by a rectangular bottom wall, side walls standing upright at four peripheral edges of the bottom wall, and the bottom wall at a pair of upper edges facing each other. And a top wall in which both ends are provided with leg housing holes for fitting the legs of the lower surface of the housing, and an inner wall that is connected to the leading edge of the top wall and contacts the bottom wall. And the support base has a pair of side walls facing each other and is vertically combined so as to be orthogonal to each other to form a cross girder shape with these side walls, and is surrounded by side walls assembled to this cross girder. The lower part of the water tank in the housing is received in the center. And horizontal and vertical grid-forming members is housed in a central portion of the grid-forming member formed by the receiving member for receiving the water tank bottom portion, to constitute a packaging base of the washing machine.

Further, both side wall end portions of the double girder forming member which is parallel to the top wall of the pedestal body are formed lower than the central portion thereof,
A mounting wall for the housing, which is bent inward and has a height flush with the top wall, may be connected to the upper edges of both side walls formed to be low.

In the pedestal for packing the washing machine according to the present invention, the lower end portion of the water tank in the housing is fitted into the central portion surrounded by the side wall assembled to the double girder forming member of the support base to reduce the weight. Since the movement of the water tank to which a certain motor is attached is received by the four wall surfaces, stable fixation can be obtained against an external force in the horizontal direction.

Further, when a mounting wall having a level flush with the top wall is continuously provided at both end portions of the side wall of the double girder forming member parallel to the top wall of the pedestal body, the mounting wall is mounted on the top wall of the pedestal body. Since the lower surface of the side wall of the non-housing is received by the mounting wall at the central portion thereof, the housing of the washing machine can be mounted more stably.
