FIG. 2 illustrates a structure in which the cover 150 and the cabinet 100 are coupled.

The clothes processing apparatus of the present invention may include a coupling unit 200 coupling the cover 150 and the cabinet 100.

The cover 150 can be seated and coupled to the upper edge A of the cabinet 100 by the coupling portion 200. [

The coupling part 200 includes a reinforcing rib 210 extending from an edge A of the cabinet toward the garment accommodating part 30 and a protrusion 210 protruding from the cabinet 100, And a holder coupling portion 240 extending from a distal end or a lower surface of the cover 150 and coupled with the holder 220.

The seating rib 212 is inserted into the lower portion of the cover 150 and contacts the inside of the holder coupling portion 240 to guide the coupling position of the cover 150 or to support the cover 150.

The holder 220 and the reinforcing rib 210 may be coupled by a fastening member 230. That is, the fastening member 230 may be coupled to the holder 220 through a reinforcing hole 211 formed through the reinforcing rib 210.

The holder coupling holes 241 and 242 and the holder 220 may be coupled in a sliding manner.

The cover 150 and the cabinet 100 may be coupled to each other due to the coupling between the holder coupling holes 241 and 242 and the holder 220.

FIG. 3 shows a case where the vibration of the tub 31 is severe in the clothes processing apparatus 100 of the present invention.

The vibration of the tub 31 can be restored to its original position by the vibration of the support portion 70 even if vibration is generated.

However, when the clothes are eccentric to the drum 32, or when the number of revolutions of the drum 32 is a resonance frequency and resonance phenomenon occurs, the vibration amplitude and intensity of the drum 32 may become very large. The vibration of the drum 32 may be transmitted to the tub 31 and the vibration of the tub 31 may not be sufficiently attenuated by the support 70. [

Accordingly, the tub 31 may vibrate severely, and the tub 31 may collide with the cabinet 100 as the case may be.

When the tub 31 is collided with the cabinet 100, the cabinet 100 may be deformed such that the cabinet 100 may be distorted or bent.

Particularly, the portion where the tub 31 directly contacts the cabinet 100 may be most deformed, and deformation may occur up to the edge A according to the deformation.

The portion of the tub 31 directly contacting the cabinet 100 may be spaced apart from the edge A by L.

When the outer shape of the cabinet 100 is severely deformed, the edge A is bent and the position of the holder 220 is deformed so that the holder 220 can be detached from the holder coupling part 240 .

Therefore, the cover 150 can be detached or detached from the cabinet 100.

FIG. 4 illustrates that the apparatus for treating clothes of the present invention is provided with a deformation preventing part 300 for preventing the cabinet 100 from being deformed.

4 (a). The apparatus for treating clothes of the present invention may include a deformation preventing part 300 provided at an edge of at least one of the corners A of the cabinet to be coupled with the cover 150 to prevent deformation of the cabinet 100 have.

4 (b), the deformation preventing part 300 includes a contact rib 310 attached to one side of the cabinet along an edge A of the cabinet, An extension rib 320 extending toward the garment receiving portion 30 and a cushioning rib 330 extending from the extension rib 320 toward the interior of the cabinet 100.

The extension rib 320 and a portion of the buffer rib 330 may be received or supported by the receiving rib 213. The receiving rib 213 may receive the deformation preventing portion 300 therein.

Therefore, the contact force and the coupling force between the cabinet 100 and the deformation preventing portion 300 can be enhanced.

The contact rib 310 is provided to be in surface contact with the cabinet 100 and the extended rib 320 extends at a predetermined angle in the contact rib 310. The buffer rib 330 is extended And may extend from the rib 320 toward the lower portion of the cabinet. That is, the deformation preventing part 300 may have a C-shaped cross section.

The deformation preventing part 300 contacts the inner surface of the cabinet 100 to reinforce the rigidity of the cabinet 100. In addition, when external force acts on the cabinet 100, the deformation preventing part 300 can absorb a certain amount of the external force.

The cabinet 100 or the edge A may be deformed as long as both the buffer rib 330 and the contact rib 310 and the extending rib 320 are deformed. Therefore, the deformation preventing part 300 prevents the deformation preventing part 300 from moving to the cabinet 100 even when the cabinet 100 is deformed by the impact of the tub 31 against the cabinet 100. Therefore, And the deformation of the edge (A) can be minimized.

The deformation preventing portion 300 minimizes the degree of deformation of the cabinet 100 and the edge A so that the cabinet 100 and the edge A are permanently deformed . Accordingly, when the tub 31 hits the cabinet 100, one side of the cabinet 100 is fixed to the deformation preventing portion 300, so that the degree of deformation can be minimized.

In addition, even if the cabinet 100 is bent, the shape of the edge A where the deformation preventing part 300 is installed can be maintained. Therefore, even if one side of the cabinet 100 is bent, the cover 150 can be prevented from being separated from the cabinet 100.

Further, in the deformation preventing portion 300, the buffer rib 320 may extend to a position where the buffer rib 320 can contact the inlet of the tub 31. The deformation preventing portion 300 may be provided at a position where the garment receiving portion 30 can collide with the cabinet 100.

For example, the buffer rib 320 may extend beyond the length L of the extension rib 320.

Thus, the tub 31 collides with the cushioning rib 320, and the cushioning rib 320 is deformed to absorb a certain amount of impact, thereby preventing the cabinet 100 from being deformed.

In addition, the width of the contact rib 310 may be greater than L. The upper end of the contact rib 310 may be provided on the edge A and the lower end may be spaced apart from the edge A by L or more.

As a result, when the tub 31 hits the cabinet 100, the tub 31 contacts the contact rib 310 to minimize the deformation of the cabinet 100.

Meanwhile, the contact rib 310 may be provided to correspond to the length of the cabinet edge A '. This is because deformation of the cabinet edge A can be prevented as long as the length of the contact rib 310 is equal to or as close as possible to the length of the cabinet edge A.

Therefore, even if the contact rib 310 and the buffer rib 320 are not extended downward by a length L, the edge A is completely in contact with the edge A, And can be prevented from being separated.

Accordingly, even if the cabinet 100 is deformed, the shape of the edge A is maintained as it is, thereby preventing the cover 150 and the cabinet 100 from being separated from each other.

It is preferable that the deformation preventing part 300 is provided as close as possible to the coupling part 200.

Since the coupling part 200 is provided with the reinforcing rib 210 and the holder 220, the rigidity of the cabinet 100 can be further reinforced. In addition, the position of the holder 220 is not changed as much as possible to prevent the holder 220 from separating from the holder coupling part 240.

Therefore, the deformation preventing part 300 may be fixed to the cabinet 100 by being coupled to the coupling part 200.

Referring to FIG. 4C, the deformation preventing part 300 may be coupled to the coupling part 200 when the coupling member 230 couples the holder 220 to the reinforcing rib 210. have.

The coupling member 230 may be coupled to the holder 220 to couple the deformation preventing portion 300 and the reinforcing rib 210 together. That is, the fastening member 230 may be coupled with the holder 220 through the deformation preventing part 300 and the reinforcing rib 210.

Specifically, the reinforcing rib 210 includes a reinforcing hole 211 through which the fastening member 230 passes, and the deformation preventing portion 300 is provided at a position corresponding to the reinforcing hole, And a fastening hole 341 through which the member 230 passes.

Therefore, the coupling unit 200 and the deformation preventing unit 300 can be coupled with each other by using the coupling member 230, so that a configuration required for installing the deformation preventing unit 300 can be omitted.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the deformation preventing portion 300 that can be coupled to the coupling portion 200 will be described with reference to FIG.

The hook 220 has a predetermined thickness and is provided inside the cabinet 100 because the hook 220 is protruded from the side of the cabinet 100 or is exposed when exposed.

Therefore, the thickness of the reinforcing rib 210 provided with the hook 220 may be greater than the thickness of the reinforcing rib 210.

As the thickness of the reinforcing rib 210 becomes thicker, the overall weight of the deformation preventing part 300 may be increased if the thickness of the extending rib 320 is increased.

As the weight of the deformation preventing part 300 increases, the material ratio increases and it may be difficult to fix the deformation preventing part 300 to the coupling part 200, Can be deformed by the weight of the part (300).

The deformation preventing portion 300 may further include a fastening body 340 extending from the extension rib 320 and being cut away from the buffer rib 330. The fastening hole 341 may be formed in a shape And may be provided through the fastening body 340.

That is, the fastening body 340 can compensate for the thickening of the reinforcing ribs 210 and the separation of the reinforcing holes 211 toward the inside of the cabinet.

Therefore, even if the thickness of the holder 220 is increased, the coupling body 340 is provided to compensate the deformation preventing part 300 without extending the extension rib 320.

When a plurality of fastening bodies 340 are provided according to the number of the holders 220, a plurality of the buffer ribs 330 may be provided.

For example, when the holder 220 is provided as a first holder 221 and a second holder 222, the buffer ribs 330 may include first buffer ribs 331, A second buffering rib 332 and a third buffering rib 333.

The fastening body 340 may have a triangular shape to minimize its volume and weight.

The deformation preventing part 300 may be provided at every corner A of the cabinet and may be provided at a specific edge A.

However, if the deformation preventing part 300 is provided to prevent the cabinet 100 and the cover 150 from being separated from each other, the deformation preventing part 300 may be provided at one corner of the corner A of the cabinet And may be provided on the other edge facing the one corner, respectively.

Generally, the length of the side panel 120 is longer than the length of the front panel 110. This is because a structure of a display unit, an input unit, and the like are provided in front of the side panel 120 or a part of a water supply pipe and a drain pipe are provided at the rear.

Therefore, it is preferable that the deformation preventing portion 300 is provided at the edges A2 and A2 'of the side panel 120. [ Accordingly, the coupling portion 200 may be provided at the corners A2 and A2 'of the side panel 120 where the deformation preventing portion 300 is provided.

Of course, the deformation preventing part 300 may be provided at a position where the garment accommodating part 30 of the side panel 120 may collide with the side panel 120. [

In other words, the deformation preventing portion 300 may be provided at a position where the garment receiving portion 30 may collide with the cabinet 100, away from the corners A2 and A2 '.

6 shows another embodiment of the deformation preventing part 300. As shown in FIG.

6 (a), the deformation preventing part 300 may further include a buffer member 360 provided between the contact rib 310 and the buffer rib 330 to absorb an impact. Referring to FIG.

The cushioning member 360 may be made of a material such as styrofoam or a porous material to absorb shock.

Therefore, when an external force is applied to the deformation preventing portion 300, the buffer member 360 absorbs the external force, thereby preventing the deformation preventing portion 300 from being deformed. Thus, deformation of the cabinet 100 can be effectively prevented.

In addition, the buffer member 360 may be provided between the contact rib 310 and the buffer rib 330.

6 (b), the deformation preventing part 300 may include a gap maintaining rib (not shown) extending from the buffer rib 330 to maintain a gap between the buffer rib 330 and the contact rib 310 350).

The gap retaining rib 350 prevents the deformation of the deformation preventing portion 300 by preventing the buffer rib 330 and the contact rib 310 from approaching each other when an external force is applied to the buffer rib 330. [ And the like.

The gap maintaining rib 350 may include a first gap maintaining rib 351 extending from the buffer rib 330 toward the contact rib 310 and a second gap maintaining rib 352 extending from the first gap maintaining rib toward the extended rib And a second spacing rib 352 extending therefrom.

The first gap retaining rib 351 prevents the cushioning rib 330 and the contact rib 310 from coming closer to each other and the second gap retaining rib 352 has a contact area with the contact rib 310 So that the impact applied to the contact rib 310 can be mitigated.

As a result, the overall durability of the deformation preventing part 300 can be enhanced, and deformation of the cabinet 100 and the edge A can be prevented as much as possible.

As a result, separation of the cover 150 from the cabinet 100 can be prevented.

Although the clothes processing apparatus of the embodiment of the present invention described above has been described with reference to the top load type clothes processing apparatus, the same can also be applied to the front type clothes processing apparatus.

For example, the deformation preventing portion 300 may be provided at the front edge of the cabinet of the front type clothes processing apparatus.

Therefore, even when a cover having an opening in front of the cabinet is provided, the same effect can be obtained.

The present invention may be embodied in various forms without departing from the scope of the invention. Accordingly, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
