Cabinet cover mounting structure of the washing machine according to the present invention for solving the above problems is the base, the cabinet disposed on the upper side of the base, the upper reinforcement frame installed on the front upper portion of the cabinet, and disposed in the front lower portion of the cabinet In the washing machine comprising a lower reinforcement frame and a cabinet cover covering the front of the cabinet, a hanger protrusion protruding from the lower reinforcement frame so that the hook hole formed in the lower end of the cabinet cover can be engaged, and the hanger protrusion is supported. It characterized in that it comprises a support protrusion protruding from the base to the lower side of the hook projection.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a washing machine according to the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal configuration of one embodiment of the washing machine according to the present invention.

2 and 3, the washing machine according to the present embodiment is located in a base 52, a cabinet 54 disposed above the base 52, and an inner space of the cabinet 54. A tub 56 supported by a damper 53a or a spring 53b, a drum 58 rotatably disposed inside the tub 56 and having a hand 57 formed on a circumferential surface thereof, and the tub 56 Drive motor 59 mounted on the back of the), an upper reinforcement frame 60 disposed above the front of the cabinet 54, and a lower reinforcement frame 66 disposed below the front of the cabinet 54; Is disposed on the front of the cabinet 54 to cover the front of the cabinet 54 and the laundry access hole (70a) is formed in the center to allow the laundry to enter and exit the inside of the drum 58, laundry access hole 70a And a cabinet cover 70 in which the door 70b is mounted to be opened and closed, and disposed above the cabinet 54 to form an upper surface of the washing machine. The top plate 79 equipped with a control panel 79a for operating and operating a washing machine, a water supply valve 80 and a water supply hose 82 for supplying water, and water supplied through the water supply hose 82 A detergent container 84 for mixing water with a detergent, a water supply bellows 86 for guiding water and detergent mixed in the detergent container 84 into the tub 56, and water in the tub 56 Drainage device 88 for draining to the outside of the cabinet 54, and the water in the tub 56 or the laundry in the drum 58 is disposed in front of the tub 56, the tub 56 and the cabinet cover 70 It includes a gasket 90 so as not to flow out of the.

The cabinet cover 70 has a lower end 70b raised to the lower reinforcement frame 66 side and an upper end 70c fitted to the upper reinforcement frame 60 side, so that the front side of the cabinet 54 is closed. Is mounted on.

Figure 4 is an exploded perspective view of the cabinet cover of an embodiment of the washing machine according to the present invention is separated, Figure 5 is a perspective view showing a state in which the cabinet cover of an embodiment of the washing machine according to the invention hanged on the lower reinforcement frame.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the cabinet cover 70 includes a left hook hole 71 and a right hook hole 72 so that the cabinet cover 70 can be caught by the lower reinforcement frame 66 at the bottom left, right, and center thereof. The center hook hole 73 is formed, and the left fitting hole 74 and the right fitting hole 75 are formed on the upper left and right sides so as to be fitted to the lower reinforcement frame 66.

The lower hook frame 66 has a left hook protrusion 67 at the bottom left, right, and center so that the bottom left, right, and center hook holes 71, 72, and 73 of the cabinet cover 70 may be caught. And a right hook protrusion 68 and a center hook protrusion 69 are formed in the upper reinforcement frame 60 in the upper left fitting hole 74 and the right fitting hole 75 of the cabinet cover 70. The left insertion protrusion 61 and the right insertion protrusion 62 are formed at the upper left and right sides so as to be inserted.

Here, the left hook protrusion 67, the right hook protrusion 68, and the center hook protrusion 69 are cut out of the lower reinforcement frame 66 and bent in a 'b' shape toward the front.

In addition, the base hook 52 includes the left hook protrusion 67, the right hook protrusion 68, and the center hook protrusion 69 whose lower ends of the cabinet cover 70 are raised by the cabinet cover 70. Since it may be sagging or deformed, the left hook protrusion 67, the right hook protrusion 68, the left support protrusion 91 which supports each of the center hook protrusion 69, the right support protrusion 92, The central support projection 93 protrudes horizontally integrally from its tip.

Looking at the mounting operation of the cabinet cover according to the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, as shown in FIG. 4, the lower left hook hole 71, the right hook hole 72, and the center hook hole 73 of the cabinet cover 70 have left hook protrusions 67 and right hook protrusions. 68, the lower end of the cabinet cover 70 is raised on the left hook protrusion 67, the right hook protrusion 68, and the center hook protrusion 69 while hanging on the center hook protrusion 69. .

Then, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper end of the cabinet cover 70 is pushed toward the upper reinforcing frame 60 so that each of the left insertion protrusion 61 and the right insertion protrusion 62 is the cabinet cover 70. The upper left fitting hole 74 and the right fitting hole 75 to be inserted.

At this time, the left support protrusion 91, the right support protrusion 92, and the central support protrusion 93 firmly hold the left hook protrusion 67, the right hook protrusion 68, and the center hook protrusion 69. When the cabinet cover 70 is mounted or when the washing machine vibrates, the left hook protrusion 67, the right hook protrusion 68, and the center hook protrusion 69 are prevented from sagging or being deformed.

Cabinet cover mounting structure of the washing machine according to the present invention configured as described above has the advantage that the assembly of the cabinet cover can be made easily and quickly because the lower end of the cabinet cover is raised to the hook projection formed on the lower reinforcement frame.

In addition, since the support protrusion protruding from the base firmly supports the hook protrusion of the lower reinforcement frame, an advantage of preventing the hook protrusion or the lower reinforcement frame from sagging or deformation when the cabinet cover is mounted or when the washing machine vibrates. There is this.
