Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to a lid mounting structure for a detergent dispenser or the like.

Fully automatic washing machines are equipped with a detergent container to store detergent in advance, but since there is a possibility of water leaking, a structure is used in which a hole is drilled in this container and the lid pivot is inserted. cannot be adopted.

This design allows the pivot of the lid to be attached without drilling a hole in the container.Explaining it based on the diagram below, 1 is the machine frame of a commercial fully automatic washing machine, and the clothes slot can be opened and closed on the front of the machine frame. It is equipped with a door 2 and an operation switch 3, and a detergent inlet 4 is provided on the top surface.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a detergent container that is placed against the rim of the detergent inlet from below, and a water supply hose 6 is connected to the side and a drainage hose 7 is connected to the bottom, and the detergent in the container 5 is drained with water supplied from the water supply hose 6. After being melted, it can be supplied to the washing tub through a drain hose 7.

A mounting piece 8 is provided between the inner layers of the detergent container 5.
are welded to extend toward the center of the container 5, and the tips 8' of each mounting piece 8 are bent upward.

A screw hole 9 is cut in the horizontal part of each mounting piece 8, and a through hole 10 is formed around the detergent inlet 4.
By threading and tightening the screws 11 inserted through the respective screw holes 9, the detergent container 5 can be attached in advance to the opening edge of the detergent container 5. This detergent container 5 is attached to the machine frame 1 through a certain seal backing 12.
It is fixed on the back of the .

Reference numeral 13 denotes a lid that covers the detergent inlet 4 so as to be openable and closable, and a pivot fitting 14 is welded to one side of the back surface of the lid.

To attach this lid 13, before fixing the detergent container 5 to the machine frame 1, first attach both ends 14' of the pivot fitting 14.

14' are placed on the mounting pieces 8, 8 of the container, respectively, and then the detergent container is fixed to the back surface of the machine frame 1 with the screws 11 as described above.

By doing this, both ends 14 of the pivot fitting
', 14' are rotatably held between the mounting piece 8 and the machine frame 1, and the lid 13 is attached thereto.

In FIG. 4, the end 14' of the pivot fitting is held between the horizontal part of the mounting piece 8, the screw 11, the machine frame 1, and the inner peripheral surface of the container 5. However, it only looks like this in the drawing; in reality, the screw 11 is on the front side and the end 14' of the pivot fitting is on the rear side, so they do not come into contact.

Preventing the two from coming into contact in this way helps prevent the end 14' of the pivot fitting from coming into contact with the screw 11 and crushing the screw when the lid 13 is opened and closed. It is not necessarily necessary to take that much consideration.

The upward bending of the tip 8' of the mounting piece 8 serves to prevent the end 14' of the pivot fitting from coming off the mounting piece 8, and also to prevent the screw 11 from being tightened too tightly. This serves to prevent the mouth edge of the detergent inlet 4 from curving downward when the detergent inlet 4 is opened.

As described above, the present invention uses the mounting piece 8 necessary for fixing the container 5 to the back surface of the machine frame 1 to rotatably hold the pivot bracket 14 of the lid 13. This container 5 was used as a washing machine detergent container because there was no need to use threaded screws or the like to attach it, and there was no need to make a hole in the side wall of the container 5 to pass the lid pivot through. In this case, water does not leak from the hole through the pivot, which has a great practical effect.
