However, when the installation space is limited, the washing machine and drying machine are installed individually in separate spaces, and the clothes that have been washed in the washing machine are moved/input into the drying machine to dry the clothes.

Meanwhile, recently, a washing machine has been commercially available that has an installation surface or installation parts for installing a drying device on the upper surface so that a drying device can be stacked on top of the washing machine.

However, as described above, in the case of a washing or drying device that can be stacked according to the prior art, if an installation surface for seating the drying device is formed on the upper surface of the washing device, it is very difficult to fix the drying device in the correct position. If there is no separate fixing device, there is a problem that the drying device may deviate from the correct installation position depending on the operation.

In addition, when a separate installation part is provided for stacking the washing machine and the drying machine, the separate installation part is fixed to the existing washing machine, and after the drying device is installed in the washing machine, the washing machine and the drying machine are installed through the installation part. There is an inconvenient problem of having to fix the device.

Therefore, there is a need for improvements in clothing processing devices that improve the stacked structure of the washing device and drying device to enable more convenient mounting and fixation of the washing device and drying device when using the drying device by mounting it on top of the washing machine. .
