Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a washing machine for washing clothes, towels, etc.

Structure of conventional example and its problems In a conventional washing machine, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, for example, a washing tub 1 and a dehydrating tub 2 are arranged side by side in the main body, and its inspection parts, that is, a drain valve. 3. Most of the inspection parts such as the drain pipe connection part 4 are arranged on the rear side of the dehydration tank 2, and the rear plate 5 of the main body facing this can be opened and closed with screws 6, so that maintenance is taken into consideration. It's summery.

However, these washing machines are generally installed with the rear plate 5 in contact with a wall surface, so during maintenance, the washing machine must be moved to move the rear plate 5 to the front side. This work was extremely tedious.

Purpose of the invention The present invention is intended to eliminate the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, and particularly aims to facilitate maintenance of functional parts.

Structure of the invention In order to achieve the above object, the washing machine of the invention has the following features:
The main body has a washing tub, and most of the inspection parts such as the drain valve and drain pipe connection part of the washing tub are arranged on the front side of the main body, and the front part of the main body opposite to these inspection parts is It has a structure that can be opened and closed freely, which has the effect of making maintenance easier since there is no need to move the washing machine.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on the drawings.

In FIGS. 3 to 5, 7 is a washing machine main body, which is equipped with a washing tub 8 and a dehydration tank 9 inside, and a drain valve 10 and a drain pipe connection part 11 on the front side of the main body 7.
Most of the inspection parts 13 such as the starting capacitor 12 are arranged. Reference numeral 14 denotes a front plate of the main body 7, which can be freely opened and closed by engaging a locking hole 16 in the front plate 14 with a plate spring-shaped locking fitting 15 attached to the main body 7. Reference numeral 17 denotes a motor, and reference numeral 18 denotes an operation unit equipped with a timer, a water flow switching knob, etc., which are provided on the front side of the dehydration tank 9. 19 is a wiring cord, and 20 and 21 are lids.

In the above configuration, when performing maintenance on the inspection parts 13, it is possible to remove the front plate 14 by pulling the front plate 14 toward you while leaving the main body 7 of the washing machine as it is, and this work is extremely easy. , It is possible to fix the washing machine.

In the above embodiment, the operating section 18 is provided on the front side of the dehydration tank 9, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect of the present invention can also be achieved even if the operating section 18 is provided on the rear part of the washing machine main body 7. However, the position of the operating section 18 is not limited.

Further, in the above embodiment, the front plate 14 is
5 and the locking hole 16, however, the present invention is not limited to this, and the effect of the present invention can also be achieved by fastening the front plate 14 with screws or the like. It is possible.

Effects of the invention As described above, according to the present invention, most of the inspection parts are placed on the front side of the main body, and the front part of the main body facing the inspection parts can be opened and closed. This allows maintenance to be performed by opening the front part of the main body without having to move the main body, resulting in extremely easy maintenance.
