Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a structure for hanging the operation panel of a washing machine when the operation panel is separated from the outer case.

The operating panel of the washing machine is wired and piped to the main body of the washing machine, and after other assembly work is performed in this state, it is fixed with screws to a receiving plate fixed to the upper end of the outer box.
During disassembly, even when the operation panel is separated from the outer box, the wiring and piping between it and the washing machine body are often left intact for repair work. During such assembly and repair work, it is not easy to leave the operation panel stationary without damaging the wiring and piping, and special measures are required.

In addition, the power cord and ground wire did not hold well when packaged for shipping, so it was necessary to wrap them up and then tape them to the side wall of the washing machine.

The purpose of this invention is to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages, and to provide a washing machine operation panel hanging structure that allows the operation panel to be easily placed in the outer box during assembly and repair work, and that allows the power cord and ground wire to be easily wrapped around it. It is about providing.

However, according to the present invention, in a washing machine having an operation panel, the purpose of the lever is to attach a latching portion having a vertical through hole and a winding overhang extending from the side of the through hole to the winding overhang. At least two receiving plates are arranged on the wall surface of the operation panel so that they face each other outward, and a receiving plate having an upright part that can be fitted into the through hole is fixed at a position corresponding to each of the above-mentioned latching parts at the upper end of the outer box. This is achieved by inserting the upright portion into a through-hole in the operation panel separated from the outer box and hooking the operation panel.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a washing machine showing an embodiment of the present invention, in which horizontal portions 3a of a receiving plate 3 are fixedly arranged at the four corners of the upper end of an outer box 1 of the washing machine.
Attach a screw 4 to one side of the upright portion 3b rising at right angles from the
to secure the operation panel 2. On the back side of the operation panel 2, there is a hanging part 5 having a vertical through hole 5a and a wrapping part 5b which extends to the side of the washing machine.
are arranged horizontally and symmetrically at two locations.

Next, the effect will be explained.

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the operating panel 2 of the washing machine shown in FIG. 1 in a disassembled and latched state, and details of the latched state are shown in the partially enlarged perspective view of FIG. 3. Operation panel 2
The upright portion 3b of the receiving plate 3 is inserted into the through hole 5a, and the operation panel 2 is hooked thereon. The operation panel 2 has an internal timer and other control devices connected to a washing machine main body 6 in which a washing/dehydration tank 9 and a water tank 10 are built in an outer box 1, through air pipes 7 and electric wires 8.

When the operation panel 2 is disassembled from the outer case 1 before assembly or during repair, the operation panel 2 can be hung on the receiving plate 3 of the outer case 1 as described above to proceed with the assembly or repair work. .

In addition, during shipping and storage after the operation panel 2 is attached to the outer box 1, the power cord 11 and the ground 12 are
can be wrapped around these using the wrapping projections 5b of the two hooking parts 5.

In the above embodiment, the hook 5 is arranged on the back surface of the operation panel 2, but it can also be arranged on the side surface of the operation panel 2.

As described above, the operating panel hanging structure of the washing machine of the present invention is assembled by disposing a hanging part having a through hole in the wall surface of the operation panel and a receiving plate having an upright part at the upper end of the outer box. This allows the operation panel to be hung on the outer box during repair or repair, and improves work efficiency without adversely affecting wiring and piping.

In addition, due to the wrapping overhang provided on the hook,
This allows you to easily store the power cord and ground wire together.

[Brief explanation of drawings]
