Description

Door combination structure of drum washing machine

The present invention relates to a drum washing machine, and more particularly, to a door coupling structure of a drum washing machine to facilitate assembly of the drum washing machine door.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a door of a conventional drum washing machine includes an outer rib 1, a high ribs 4 formed with an outer rib 2, an inner rib 3, and a screw hole, and the inner rib. The support protrusion 6 was constructed so that the periphery of the front cover 5 and the door glass 5 'placed on the tip of (3) could not touch and move.

In order to fix the front cover 5 and the door glass 5 'on the inner rib 3, the outer end is mounted on the outer rib 2 and the inner end is attached to the door glass 5'. An inner flame 7 formed to be mounted thereon and an insertion hole 9 into which a fixing screw 8 is inserted to fix the inner flame 7 to the outer flame 1 are provided.

When assembling the door of the drum washing machine configured as described above, the front cover 5 and the door glass 5 'are placed on the inner rib 3 of the outer flame 1, and then the outer side of the inner flame 7 It is placed on the outer ribs 2 of the flame 1.

Then, the inner side of the inner flame 7 is placed on the door glass 5 ', and then a fixing screw 8 is inserted into the insertion hole 9 formed in the inner flame 7 to the outer flame 1. Assembling of the door is terminated by engaging the screw hole of the formed high-profile 4.

However, in the process of assembling the door, a support protrusion 6 is formed in which the periphery of the front cover 5 or the door glass 5 'is supported by the outer flame 1, and the inner flame is formed on the outer flame 1. In order to engage (7), the construction was complicated because the high information 4 having a screw hole was to be formed.

In addition, the inner flame 7 has a complexity of constituting the insertion hole 9 into which the fixing screw 8 is inserted, and since the fixing screw 8 is required for fixing, there are many parts, so productivity is increased. This lowered the cost and raised the cost.

In view of this, the present invention forms a support protrusion on the outer frame to support the front cover and the periphery of the door glass on the inner rib of the outer frame, and the front cover and the door glass on the inner rib of the outer frame. When the lower portion of the inner flame is inserted into the outer flame in the state is provided with a coupling means to be coupled by the elastic force of the support protrusion to facilitate the engagement of the door.

The door coupling structure and operation of the drum washing machine of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the drawings shown in FIGS. 4 to 6.

An outer rib 102 and an inner rib 103 are formed on the outer flame 101, and the front cover 104 and the door glass 105 are placed on the inner rib 103 on the outer flame 101. In joining the inner flame 106,

A support protrusion 107 formed on the outer frame 101 to support the periphery of the front cover 104 and the door glass 105 mounted on the inner rib 103 of the outer frame 101, and the outer frame 101. When the lower portion of the inner flame 106 is inserted into the outer flame 101 in the state where the front cover 104 and the door glass 105 are placed on the inner rib 103 of the support rib 107, the elastic force of the support protrusion 107 is combined. It was provided with a coupling means.

In addition, the coupling means includes a locking protrusion 108 formed on the outer rib 102 and the support protrusion 107 of the outer flame 101, and the locking protrusion when the inner flame 106 is coupled to the outer flame 101. The hook 109 is provided on the inner flame 106 so that the inner flame 106 is not caught in the portion 108 and is not separated within the outer flame 101.

The front side of the cover 104 or the door is coupled to the positioning rib 112 formed on the inner side rib 103 and the positioning rib 112 so as to determine a position on the periphery of the door glass 105. Positioning grooves 113 are provided in the front cover 104 or the door glass 105 to determine the position of the glass 105.

In the figure, reference numeral 110 denotes a gasket, and 111 denotes a drum.

When the door of the drum washing machine configured as described above is combined, the front cover 104 and the door glass 105 are placed on the inner rib 103 formed on the outer flame 101, wherein the front cover 104 or the door glass 105 The positioning groove 113 formed in the upper side of the door glass 105 is coupled to the positioning rib 112 formed on the inner rib 103, and the periphery of the door glass 105 is supported by the supporting protrusion 107 formed on the outer flame 101. Place it in place.

In this way, the hook 109 formed on the inner flame 106 is inserted into the outer flame 101 in a state where the front cover 104 and the door glass 105 are raised to the outer position of the outer flame 101.

Therefore, the hook 109 formed on the inner flame 106 is inserted into the outer flame 101 and the hook 109 is formed on the outer rib 102 and the support protrusion 107 of the outer flame 101. It is inserted into and caught in 108.

In this way, since the hook 109 formed on the inner flame 106 is caught by the engaging portion 108, the inner flame 106 is fixed to the outer flame 101.

The present invention, which is constructed as described above, can be combined with a simple operation when the doors are combined, thereby reducing the number of assembly work and also eliminating the conventional fixing screw, thereby reducing the number of parts, thereby reducing the production cost. It is devised.
