The present invention relates to a top plate assembly structure of a drum washing machine, and more particularly, to a T-shaped frame that is combined with a cabinet in a conventional manner of inserting the top plate with a screw and an injection molding on left and right sides when fixing the drum top plate. The present invention relates to a top plate assembly structure of a drum washing machine, in which a protrusion is added and inserted into the top plate.

According to the structure of a conventional drum washing machine (Korean Patent Application No. 2032, 1992), a drum pulley and a motor fixed to a drum in a tub (TUB) are connected to a belt, and the tub is supported by a damper. It is hung on the outer case by a spring, and the detergent case is fixed to the outer case and is connected by a water hose and a rubber hose connected to the cold and hot water inlets.

1 is a perspective view showing the state of the screw and the injection molding of the cabinet top of the drum washing machine according to the prior art.

Referring to FIG. 1, the tee-shaped frame is choked on the top of the cabinet of the drum washing machine 10, and then the injection molding 12 and the screw are simultaneously fixed to the left and right sides to combine the upper plate and the cabinet. Then, after molding along the guide of the top plate (not shown), the top plate is fixed with a screw.

Therefore, according to Figure 1, in order to assemble the top plate and the injection molding 12 and the screw, there is a problem that the cost increases and the assembly labor is increased.

The present invention has been proposed to improve the problems in the prior art as described above, the object of the present invention is to provide a top plate assembly structure of the drum washing machine to reduce the cost and the assembly labor by eliminating unnecessary injection and screw. .

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention for achieving the above object, at least one of the front body is installed on the top of the cabinet and protrudes upwards corresponding to each other on the upper surface of the tee-shaped frame and the end is bent toward the outside A tee frame formed with bent portions; The upper part of the drum washing machine that covers the upper surface of the cabinet from the upper surface of the tee-shaped frame and the upper end of the drum washing machine comprising an upper end having a bent part assembled while being joined to the bent portion of the tee-shaped frame A plate assembly structure is provided.

Preferably, in the assembling process, an end portion of the bent portion of the tee-shaped frame is in contact with the inside of the bent portion of the upper frame.

Hereinafter, a top plate assembly structure of a drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In this process, the thickness of the lines or the size of the components shown in the drawings may be exaggerated for clarity and convenience of description. In addition, terms to be described below are terms defined in consideration of functions in the present invention, which may vary according to the intention or convention of a user or an operator. Therefore, definitions of these terms should be made based on the contents throughout the specification.

Figure 2 is a perspective view showing a cabinet and a frame structure of a drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of Figure 2, Figure 4 is a top plate of the drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the structure, Figure 5 is a perspective view showing the top plate and frame assembly state of the drum washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

2 to 5, the drum washing machine according to the present invention is provided with a tee-shaped frame 20 installed on the top of the cabinet 24, the front body, and is coupled to the top plate 30 via the tee-shaped frame Has

In addition, the upper surface of the tee-shaped frame 20 is formed so as to protrude upwards corresponding to each other one or more bent portions 22 are bent toward the outside. The number of the bent portions 22 can be set to an appropriate number. In addition, the upper plate 30 is bent downward to form the bent portion 32 of the opposite end surface thereof, through which the end 22a of the bent portions 22 of the tee-shaped frame 20 and the upper plate ( The ends of the bent portions 32 of 30 are assembled to meet each other.

In the assembling process, the end portion 22a of the bent portion 24 of the tee-shaped frame 20 may contact the inner side 32a of the bent portion 32 of the upper frame 30.

The operation of the top plate assembly structure of the drum washing machine according to the present invention configured as described above will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

At the time of assembly, as shown in FIG. 5, the ends of the plurality of bent portions 22 of the frame 20 coupled to the inner surface of the bent portion 32 of the upper plate 30 to the upper surface of the cabinet 24. (22a) Assemble while pushing in the direction of insertion. Since the bent portion 32 of the upper plate 30 is assembled while being guided by the bent portion 22, the assembling is easily performed.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings, this is merely exemplary, and those skilled in the art to which the art belongs can make various modifications and other equivalent embodiments therefrom. Will understand. Therefore, the true technical protection scope of the present invention will be defined by the claims below.

As described above, according to the top plate assembly structure of the drum washing machine according to the present invention, by forming a plurality of bent portion on the frame is assembled while guiding the bent portion of the top plate through the top plate and the cabinet easier than in the past There is an effect that the assembly is made.
