Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that both the foregoing description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the scope of the invention, .

1 is an exploded perspective view of a cabinet 10 constituting an appearance of the household electric appliance of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows that the cabinet 10 forms the appearance of the clothes processing apparatus. However, this is for the purpose of illustration only, and any cabinet 10 can be used as long as the appearance of a household appliance can be attained.

The cabinet 10 includes a first panel 11a having a panel coupling portion 11a on one side thereof, a panel frame 20 provided on the first side of the first panel, A second panel 12 to which both ends of the panel frame and the first panel are coupled, and a plurality of coupling members 60 coupling at least one of the panel frame and the first panel to the second panel.

That is, the first panel 11 and the panel frame 20 may form a front surface of the cabinet 10.

Meanwhile, the panel frame 20 is coupled to the second panel 12 to fix the interval of the second panel 12 and to maintain the circular shape of the second panel 12 .

In addition, a power source and a control unit of the household appliances may be provided in front of the panel frame 20, or a control panel 13 may be coupled to the power source and the control unit to connect electric wires.

The panel frame 20 includes a first engaging portion 21 through which at least one of the fastening members 60 is coupled to the panel frame 20 and the second panel 12, And a second engaging portion 22 through which the other one of the engaging members 60 is coupled to couple the frame 20 and the panel engaging portion 11a to the second panel 12 at the same time have.

The panel frame 20 may be fixed to a part of the second panel 12 through a first engaging part 21 and a fastening member 60. The panel engaging portion 11a provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first panel 11 is disposed at a corresponding position of the second engaging portion 22 of the panel frame 20, The panel coupling portion 11a and the remaining portion of the panel frame 20 may be coupled to the second panel 12. [

This not only saves the fastening member 60 when the panel frame 20 and the first panel 11 are coupled to the second panel 12 but also the number of times the fastening member 60 is engaged And part of the process can be omitted.

Further, when the panel frame 20 and the first panel 11 are separated from each other in the cabinet 10 for repair and maintenance, a relatively smaller number of fastening members 60 can be separated, Can be increased.

 When the operator joins the panel frame 20 and the first panel 11 to the second panel 12, the first engaging portion 21 of the panel frame 20 is engaged with the engaging member 60, the second engaging portion 22 should not engage with the engaging member 60.

That is, when the first engaging portion 21 is engaged with the engaging member 60, when the second engaging portion 22 is engaged with the engaging member 60, The space that can be coupled to the two panels 12 disappears.

Therefore, when the panel coupling portion 11a is coupled to the second panel 12, the operator disconnects the coupling member 60 coupled to the second coupling portion 22, 11a and the second engaging portion 22 are aligned with each other and are coupled to the second panel 12 with the fastening member 60 again.

As a result, the operator is required to further perform an unnecessary process, and the assembly time is delayed.

In the case where there is an assembling machine device for recognizing the shapes of the first engaging part 21 and the second engaging part 22 and assembling them with the fastening member 60, when the operator assembles the cabinet 10 And the like.

Therefore, when the coupling member 60 is coupled to the first coupling unit 21, the cabinet 10 is required to prevent or prevent coupling to the second coupling unit 22 .

To this end, the cabinet 10 may be provided to prevent the coupling member from engaging the second engagement portion 22 when the coupling member 60 engages the first coupling portion 21 .

FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of preventing or preventing engagement with the second engaging portion 22 when the engaging member 60 is engaged with the first engaging portion 21. As shown in FIG.
