The door 12 may include a door frame 13 , a door window 23 , a windshield 20 , a hinge unit 24 , and a locking unit 30 .

The door frame 13 may be formed in a ring shape.

The door frame 13 may include an outer frame 14 and an inner frame 19 . The outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 may be formed of a synthetic resin material (eg, ABS material, PC material, etc.).

When each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 is made of a synthetic resin material, it may be manufactured by injection molding.

Each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 is formed in a ring shape, and may be overlapped and fastened to each other in the front and rear directions. A fastening structure between the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 will be described in detail later.

When explaining the reason for naming the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19, the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 are the body 10 based on the state in which the door 12 is closed. It faces the outside of, and the inner frame 19 is named as being disposed toward the inside of the main body 10 . The outer frame 14 may be referred to as a first frame, and the inner frame 19 may be referred to as a second frame.

Circular openings 18 are formed inside each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 to correspond to each other.

The opening 18 may be located eccentrically from the center of each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 . For example, the center of the opening 18 may be located above the center of each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 .

According to this configuration, each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 may have a different width along the circumferential direction. That is, the distance (width) between the outer diameter and inner diameter (diameter of the opening 18) of each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 may be configured to increase (widen) from the uppermost end to the lowermost end.

The center of the drum may be disposed higher than the center (1/2) of the height of the body 10 .

The drum is fixed in the height direction of the main body 10 aside from minute vibration caused by rotation.

Consumers tend to prefer a larger door 12 compared to the same capacity and size of the washing machine when the main body 10 is viewed from the front.

In addition, consumers can see the inside of the drum through the door 12, and if possible, prefer to secure a wide view of the inner space of the drum.

In order to increase the size of the door 12 while the position of the drum is fixed in order to satisfy the above-mentioned needs of consumers, the door 12 should be enlarged in the downward direction.

The center of the door frame 13 should be moved lower than the center of the clothes inlet 102 or the opening 18 . Similarly, the door frame 13 may be centrally moved downward with respect to the door window 23 positioned to correspond to the opening 18 .

In addition, in order to increase the size of the door 12 , it is preferable that a part of the door 12 protrude outward from the recess 103 . Preferably, the door 12 has a larger diameter than the recess 103 .

The windshield 20 is formed in a circle having a predetermined radius. The windshield 20 is formed of a glass material.

The front glass 20 has a flat front and a rear surface.

The windshield 20 is formed in the form of a disk having a constant thickness, and is formed without bending when viewed from anywhere up, down, left, and right.

As such, the glass windshield 20 is formed in a circular shape with flat front and back surfaces, so that the luxury of the door 12 is improved compared to the conventional door cover made of synthetic resin, which has a convex front in an incomplete circular shape. is improved

A transmissive alignment mark 221 is formed in the non-transmissive area 22 . The alignment mark 221 is a configuration for guiding the attachment position of the windshield 20 to the outer frame 14 . In this figure, a circular alignment mark 221 is formed on the lower side (6 o'clock) of the windshield 20 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto. The alignment mark 221 may be formed in a polygonal shape or may be formed in a line shape. Of course, the position of the alignment mark 221 may be changed.

The windshield 20 may implement the transmissive area 21 , the non-transmissive area 22 , and the alignment mark 221 through the following layer structure.

For example, the windshield 20 may include a glass body formed of a light-transmitting glass material, and a shielding layer disposed to cover a rear surface of the glass body to form a non-transmissive region 22 . In this case, the portion where the shielding layer is not disposed forms the light-transmitting area 21 and the alignment mark 221 . The shielding layer may be formed by vitreous printing on the back surface of the glass body.

As another example, the windshield 20 may include a glass body formed of a light-transmitting glass material, and a film disposed to cover the rear surface of the glass body. The film has a light-transmitting portion formed to correspond to the light-transmitting area 21 to have light-transmitting properties, a non-transmissive portion formed to be opaque to correspond to the non-transmissive area 22 , and to have light-transmitting properties to correspond to the alignment mark 221 . It may include an alignment part to be formed.

As another example, the windshield 20 may include a glass body formed of a light-transmitting glass material, and a film disposed to cover the rear surface of the glass body. Here, the difference from the above example is that the film has a first hole formed to correspond to the transmissive area 21 , a non-transmissive portion formed to have opacity corresponding to the non-transmissive area 22 , and an alignment mark ( 221) in that it includes a second hole formed to correspond to it. That is, there is a difference in whether portions of the film corresponding to the light-transmitting area 21 and the alignment mark 221 are formed to have light-transmitting properties or have a perforated shape.

The windshield 20 may be disposed to cover the opening 18 of the door frame 13 . The windshield 20 may be attached to the front surface of the outer frame 14 by a sealant or an adhesive.

Since it is easy to break when a fastening hole is drilled in the windshield 20 due to the nature of the glass material, the windshield 20 is attached to the outer frame 14 using an adhesive or the like to prevent the glass from breaking.

Meanwhile, the windshield 20 is made of glass and occupies a relatively large load compared to the total load of the door 12 . In order to support the load of the windshield 20 , a mounting guide 34 for mounting the windshield 20 is provided on the front surface of the outer frame 14 .

In particular, the windshield 20 may be made of tempered glass. Due to the nature of the tempered glass, the front and rear surfaces of the windshield 20 have strong strength, but the circular outer peripheral surface of the windshield 20 has a weak strength.

To compensate for this, the mounting guide 34 is formed to protrude forward from the front outer peripheral end of the outer frame 14 so as to surround the outer peripheral surface of the windshield 20, and not only support the load of the windshield 20, The side surface of the windshield 20 may be protected from external impact.

The protruding length of the mounting guide 34 may be formed to cover at least 2/3 of the thickness of the windshield 20 .

This is because, when the protrusion length of the mounting guide 34 is too short, an external impact may be applied to the outer circumferential surface of the windshield 20 and the load of the windshield 20 cannot be sufficiently supported.

For example, a straight part 202 and a plurality of curved parts 201 and 203 may be formed on the outer peripheral surface of the windshield 20 (refer to FIG. 7 ). The plurality of curved portions 201 and 203 may include a first curved portion 201 connected to the front surface of the windshield 20 and a second curved portion 203 connected to the rear surface of the windshield 20 . have. Each of the plurality of curved portions 201 and 203 has a constant curvature and is formed in a curved shape.

The straight line portion 202 is disposed between the first and second curved portions 201 and 203 and is respectively connected to the plurality of curved portions 201 and 203 . Each of the first curved portion 201 , the straight portion 202 , and the second curved portion 203 may be 1/3 of the thickness of the windshield 20 .

The mounting guide 34 may be configured to cover the second curved portion 203 and the straight portion 202 of the windshield 20 .

The mounting guide 34 may protrude from the front edge of the outer frame 14 . The mounting guide 34 extends in a ring shape to form a space in which the windshield 20 is accommodated.

The mounting guide 34 has a predetermined inner diameter and forms a circle. The inner diameter of the mounting guide 34 corresponds to the outer diameter of the windshield 20 , so that the mounting guide 34 surrounds the outer circumferential surface of the windshield 20 .

The mounting guide 34 may be formed to protrude to a predetermined thickness to form the same plane as the front surface of the windshield 20 . According to this configuration, a simpler appearance can be realized by eliminating the step difference between the mounting guide 34 and the windshield 20 .

A transmissive area 21 and a non-transmissive area 22 may be respectively formed inside and outside the windshield 20 .

The light-transmitting area 21 is configured to transmit at least a portion of light so that the opposite side or the inside can be seen. Accordingly, the transmissive area 21 is a concept including the semi-transmissive area 21 .

The light transmitting area 21 may be disposed to correspond to the opening 18 of the outer frame 14 , the opening 18 of the inner frame 19 , and the door window 23 . Accordingly, in a state in which the door 12 is closed, the user can look into the clothing receiving unit through the light transmitting area 21 .

The center of the light transmitting area 21 is located at a position corresponding to the center of the opening 18 of each of the outer frame 14 and the inner frame 19 . Here, the corresponding position includes not only the perfect coincidence of the center, but also the same eccentricity of the center. In other words, the center of the light transmitting area 21 and the center of the opening 18 may coincide with each other, and the eccentric direction of the light transmitting area 21 may be the same as the eccentric direction of the opening 18 .

In this embodiment, the center of the opening 18 is eccentrically located upward (12 o'clock) from the center of the door frame 13 , and correspondingly, the center of the light transmitting area 21 is also from the center of the windshield 20 . It shows that it is located eccentrically upward (12 o'clock). In this case, the center of the light transmitting area 21 and the center of the opening 18 may coincide.

The non-transmissive region 22 is formed to surround the transmissive region 21 , and the non-transmissive region 22 does not transmit light and the glass itself may appear black.

The non-transmissive area 22 may be disposed to cover and cover portions other than the opening 18 of the door frame 13 and a portion of the door frame 13 .

A boundary line between the transmissive area 21 and the non-transmissive area 22 surrounding the transmissive area 21 may be clearly divided by the non-transmissive area 22 .

Alternatively, by blurring the boundary between the light-transmitting area 21 and the non-transmissive area 22 through a halftone technique, the movement from the light-transmitting area 21 to the opaque area 22 can be visually passed. . To this end, the non-transmissive area 22 may include a plurality of shielding dots formed around the light-transmitting area 21 , and the plurality of shielding dots may be formed to have a lower density toward the light-transmitting area 21 .

The outer frame 14 may include a flat portion 15 and a curved portion 16 .

The flat portion 15 may be in contact with the rear surface of the windshield 20 , and a portion of the flat portion 15 may be disposed to overlap the non-transmissive region 22 . An adhesive is applied to the flat portion 15 , so that the windshield 20 may be adhered to the flat portion 15 .
