Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a washing machine with a dryer.In order to place the dryer above the washing machine, a reinforcing metal fitting is provided between the washing machine and the dryer. The purpose is to cover the dryer with a cover, securely fix the dryer body, and stably hold the entire load of the dryer with the reinforcing metal fittings.

Examples of the present invention will be described below.

In the figure, 1 is a washing machine for washing, and 2 is a clothes dryer installed above the washing machine, and the clothes washed in the washing machine 1 are dried in this dryer 2.

Reference numeral 3 denotes an operation panel on which switches and the like for actually operating the washing machine 1 and the dryer 2 are arranged, and a washing timer 4 and a drying timer 5 are attached thereto.

6 is an opening/closing lid provided above the washing machine.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a main body cover that covers the upper opening of the washing machine, and a main body upper cover 8 is provided above the main body cover.

A pair of reinforcing fittings 9 are vertically attached to the upper ends of both sides of the washing machine 1 by fixing the lower ends of the reinforcing fittings 9 with screws or the like.

Further, the pair of reinforcing metal fittings 9 are covered from above and the reinforcing metal fittings 9 are
There is provided a substantially rectangular reinforcing plate 10 whose upper end side is attached and fixed to both left and right end portions.

A main body cover 7 is arranged on the upper surface of the washing machine 1 so as to cover the upper opening thereof.

This main body cover 7 has rising portions formed on both rear sides thereof.

Further, the rising portions are connected to each other at the back wall portion.

The lower end sides of legs provided on both sides of the main body upper cover 8 having the operation panel 3 mounted on the front surface are attached and fixed to the upper end side of the rising part of the main body cover 7.

The rising portion and the leg portion cover the pair of reinforcing metal fittings 9.

Side sashes 11.12 are attached to both ends of the reinforcing plate 10, and the lower ends of the side sashes 11.12 and the upper end of the main body upper cover 8 face each other with a slight gap.

This side sash 11.12 is used to hide the joint between the reinforcing metal fittings 9 and the reinforcing plate 10, and the dryer 2 is mounted on the top, but the load of the dryer 2 is It is added to the reinforcing plate 10, the reinforcing metal fittings 9, and the washing machine main body 1 through the reinforcing plate 10.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a back plate, which is attached to the rear surface of the reinforcing metal fitting 9, covers the entire back surface, serves as a rear boundary, and supports the reinforcing metal fitting 9 so that it does not fall sideways.

FIG. 3 shows a cross section from the side. Reinforcing metal fittings 9 are fixed to the upper surfaces of both sides of the washing machine 1, and reinforcing plates 1 are attached to the upper surface of the reinforcing metal fittings 9.
0 is placed, a side sash 12 is further attached, and a dryer 2 is placed on the top.

The main body cover 7 is fitted with a main body upper cover 8, and is attached and fixed to the washing machine and reinforcing metal fittings 9.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the main parts seen from the front, and the reinforcing metal fittings 9 attached to the upper part of both sides of the washing machine 1 have a reinforcing plate 10 and a side sash 11 attached to the upper part, and the dryer 2 is mounted on the reinforcing metal fittings 9.

The main body cover 7 and the main body upper cover 8 are fitted and cover the reinforcing metal fittings 9.

Further, as shown in FIG. 3, an operation panel 3 equipped with operation switches is attached to the front surface of the upper cover 8 of the main body.

In the above configuration, since the reinforcing metal fittings 9 that directly receive the load of the dryer 2 are directly fixed to the upper ends of both sides of the washing machine 1, the weight of the dryer 2 can be reliably received.
The main body cover 7 and the main body upper cover 8 that cover the upper opening of the washing machine 1 can be formed using a resin material or the like, which is a material that does not require relatively high strength.

This is because the entire weight of the dryer 2 is received by the reinforcing metal fittings 9, so no load is applied to the main body cover 7 or the main body upper cover 8.

Furthermore, even if the product ignites due to some kind of trouble, since the reinforcing metal fittings 9 are made of metal, there will be no effect of the ignition.
The dryer can be held securely and safely.

In addition, since the load of the dryer 2 is not applied to the main body cover 7 or the main body top cover 8, installation is only a simple matter of providing a simple fitting part, positioning it, and simply attaching it with machine screws, etc. It becomes a structure.

As is clear from the above embodiment, the present invention fixes the lower end sides of a pair of reinforcing metal fittings to the upper ends of both sides of the washing machine, and the upper end sides of the pair of reinforcing metal fittings are provided with both ends of substantially rectangular reinforcing plates. of,
In addition to covering and fixing the reinforcing metal fittings, side sashes are fixed to both ends of the reinforcing plate, and a back plate is fixed to the rear surface of the supplementary reinforcing metal fittings, and the upper opening of the washing machine is covered and the side sashes are fixed to both ends of the reinforcing plate. A main body cover having a rising part that covers the reinforcing metal fitting is provided, a lower end side is fitted and fixed to the upper end side of the rising part, and a main body upper cover has a leg part that covers the reinforcing metal fitting, and the reinforcing metal fitting Both ends of the bottom of the dryer are supported on the upper end side via the side sash and reinforcing plate, and the load of the dryer can be reliably received by the reinforcing metal fittings, and the main body cover and main body top cover are not very strong. It can be formed from materials that do not require
Even if a fire ignites on the dryer side due to some kind of trouble, the spread of the fire can be reliably prevented, making it highly safe.
