Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to an improvement in a washing machine pan.

Conventionally, this type of washing machine pan has been constructed by fitting and fixing a reinforcing material into the bottom opening between the lower end of the apron part, which hangs downward from the upright wall via the upper rim, and the upright wall. When a washing machine is installed, the expansion structure due to the heavy pressure prevents damage caused by bending of the user's feet due to collisions when using the washing machine.

However, the current reinforcement method is to form a thin notch on the back surface of the lower end of the apron to form a step at the upper end of the thin wall, and then to connect the step to the bottom and an upright wall facing the step. The reinforcing material is fitted and fixed across the curved part, but since the lower end of the apron is thin, it does not bend or deform more than the step part, and furthermore, it can be fixed smoothly to the other curved part. However, it has various drawbacks, such as having to use a large amount of adhesive or the like to fix it, or having to mold a reinforcing material part that comes into contact with the part to match the shape of the part.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a washing machine pan that can eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks. A rib having a horizontal surface is provided on the upper edge of the rib, and a reinforcing material is fixed across the horizontal surfaces of both ribs to close the bottom opening facing the upper edge rib.

Hereinafter, an example of implementation of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is the main body of the washing machine pan, which is molded from ABS resin or the like, and the apron part 2 is inserted from the standing wall 3 on the circumference through the upper edge rim 7.
is installed vertically.

A triangular receiver having a horizontal surface 4 on the lower surface at an appropriate interval has ribs 5 protruding from the rear surface 9 of the apron portion 2 and the standing wall 3 facing the rear surface 9.

As shown in FIG. 2, the rib 5 of this receiver includes the back surface 9 of the apron portion 2 excluding corner portions 10 of the bottom opening 8 on the four sides facing the upper edge rib 7, and the upright wall 3 facing the back surface 9. The reinforcing member 6 is fitted and fixed to the both supports across the rib 5.

The reinforcing member 6 is made of ABS resin or the like and is molded to have an n-shaped cross section, and the horizontal piece 11 on the upper surface is brought into contact with both supports across the horizontal surface 4 of the rib 5, and is fixed with an adhesive.

Reference numeral 12 represents a reinforcing rib that protrudes from the back surface of the bottom 13 of the washing machine pan main body 1 over almost the entire surface thereof, and has a lattice shape, and 14 represents an outlet for draining water.

Although the rib 5 of the receiver has a triangular shape from the front, it goes without saying that any shape may be used as long as the lower surface has a horizontal surface 4. It is optional to form the washing machine pan body 1 integrally by protruding from the wall 3 or by fixing it after the washing machine pan body 1 is shaped.

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, as in the conventional case, a thin notch is formed on the back surface of the lower end of the apron to form a step at the upper end of the thin wall, and a joint between the bottom and the upright wall facing the step is formed. Completely eliminates conventional drawbacks such as the thinner part of the reinforcing material fitting and fixing across the curved part bends and deforms than the stepped part, and does not adhere well to the curved part. It is possible and has great practical effects.

Furthermore, in the past, the stepped part on the back surface of the lower end of the apron was realized with a line pattern from the outside, but with the present invention, there is no need to form a thin part, so the stepped part has a → line pattern. It won't spoil your sense of beauty.

[Brief explanation of drawings]

FIG. 1 is a bottom perspective view of the washing machine pan of the present invention, showing the state in which the reinforcing member is attached. FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the main part. In the figure, 1 is the washing machine pan body, 3 is an upright wall, 4 is a horizontal surface, 5 is a rib, 7 is an upper edge rib, 8 is an opening, 6 is a reinforcing material, and 2 is an apron part.

Claims (1)
