Description

Fixing device for washing machine front panel

This paper relates to a washing machine. In particular, the front panel coupled to the top cover of the washing machine is combined to form the left and right symmetry with respect to the top cover of the washing machine to achieve uniformity of the product and to minimize assembly defects. It relates to a fixing device of the front panel for a washing machine.

Means for assembling the front panel to the top cover of the conventional washing machine is shown in Figures 1 to 4.

The assembly of the front panel is a plurality of insertion holes (2) formed in the top cover (1), which is coupled to the upper side of the washing machine (3) to incorporate various lead wires, and formed in the top cover (1) It is composed of a plurality of hooks 12 formed in the front panel 11 for fixing the front panel 11 is coupled to a plurality of insertion holes (2).

Referring to the operation and effect according to the conventional configuration as described above are as follows.

First, the hooks 12 of the front panel 11 are coupled to the insertion hole 2 of the top cover 1 as shown in FIG. 2, and then the front panel 11 is pushed to one side so that the hook 12 is sawed. The hook 12 is fixed as shown in FIG. 3 while being in close contact with the insertion hole 2 of the cover 1, and the front panel 11 is fixed.

However, such a conventional configuration has some problems.

That is, the hooks 12 formed on the front panel 11 are pushed slightly by the restoring force of the hook 12 even after being inserted into the N-shaped insertion hole 2 of the top cover 1 and the front panel as shown in FIG. 4. Both sides of the top cover 1 to which the 11 is coupled are not symmetrical to form different intervals L1 and L2.

Therefore, the uniformity of the same product is difficult due to the above-mentioned assembling failure, and has a problem that is also aesthetically unfavorable.

In addition, when the left and right sides of the front panel 11 are coupled while having different intervals L1 and L2, the operator pushes the front panel 11 to one side again to maintain the same interval. Make an effort.

Therefore, not only the work efficiency is deteriorated by the double work as described above, but also has a problem of wasting a lot of work time.

Particularly, even when the front panel 11 is assembled and supplied to the consumer, the front panel 11 can not be held in place due to the restoring force of the hook 12, so that the front panel 11 can be removed. There was also a problem such as a separate maintenance work according to the phenomenon.

In order to solve and solve these conventional problems,

If the front panel coupled to the top cover of the washing machine is pushed and combined in one operation, it can be combined to the correct position so that the left and right side gaps of the top cover can be kept symmetrically, the beautiful appearance can be obtained, and the assembly failure can be minimized to the minimum. In addition, it provides the purpose of achieving improved work efficiency.

The configuration of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5.

Top cover 101 in order to ensure that the front panel 111 coupling the hook 112 to the insertion hole 102 of the washing machine top cover 101 at the correct position and at the same time to prevent the coupling position from being randomly changed. A plurality of protrusions 103 formed on the upper surface of the),

It is provided with a plurality of evacuation groove 113 formed in the bottom of the front panel 111 in order to maintain the position in front of the front panel 111 in a state in which no flow occurs in combination with the plurality of protrusions (103). One configuration.

The operation of this paper is as follows.

First, the front panel 111 is coupled to the top cover 101, and the hooks 112 formed on the front panel 111 are coupled to the N-shaped insertion hole 102 of the top cover 101, and then FIG. When pushed to one side as shown in 6, the hooks 112 are inserted into the insertion hole 102 and assembled.

At this time, the plurality of evacuation grooves 113 formed in the front panel 111 is also moved along the upper surface of the top cover 101 and coupled to the plurality of protrusions 103 protruding from the top cover 101. Becomes

When the evacuation groove 113 of the front panel 111 is formed on the protrusion 103 of the top cover 101, the front panel 111 cannot be moved at all in the front, rear, left and right directions.

Therefore, when the front panel 111 is coupled, the left and right intervals of the top cover 101 can be equally matched.

Therefore, it is possible to perform a reliable assembly work and to complete the assembly in one process, thereby improving work efficiency.

In addition, when the front panel 111 is removed and the lead wire inside the top cover 101 is checked, the front panel 111 coupled to the top cover 101 is pushed with strong force in the opposite direction to the assembly. Since the evacuation groove 113 of the panel 111 is separated from the protrusion 103 of the top cover 101, the repair can be facilitated.

Since the evacuation groove 113 and the projection 103 are made of synthetic resin, there is no fear of damage during separation.

Therefore, there is no problem when the front panel 111 is separated and then recombined.

In this way, the front panel can always maintain the correct position by means of combining the plurality of evacuation grooves formed in the front panel to the projection of the top cover when the front panel is combined, thereby obtaining a uniform product.

In addition, it is possible to prevent deterioration of work efficiency due to poor assembly and to obtain a reliable assembly state and at the same time have a beautiful appearance.
