Description of the Invention: Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a drum type washing machine in which a clothes input port of a door switch is disposed in front of an outer casing of a washing machine. I: Prior art:! BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION It is known that such a drum type washing machine forms a clothes input port for taking out clothes into the inner drum in front of the outer box of the washing machine, and a flap opening door (door body) for putting the old clothes into the mouth switch in the outer box ). In the case of the drum type washing machine, the door is left-open type, and in the case of the general family, the user cannot be located on the opening side when the left-opening door is opened due to restrictions on the installation place. In this case, it is known that there is a drum type washing machine in which the door can be installed, either left or right, in the process. Fig. 5 is a perspective view showing the appearance of a conventional drum type washing machine described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei. No. Hei. In the front of the drum type washing machine, a slightly rounded garment is formed, and the clothes input port is opened by the hinge mechanism 60 in the lateral direction (door) 2, and is disposed on the right side of the door 2 The operation button 8 for opening the door of the state. Fig. 6 is a front perspective view showing the outer casing structure of a conventional drum type washing machine. The outer box m is symmetrical. The left side panel (8) and the right side panel 1〇2, the front frame reinforcing plate 1G3, the inserted side of the front edge (4) _ the front part of the reinforcing plate 1〇4, and the insertion of the front side of the upper edge It is composed of a front reinforcing plate 1〇5 and the like. Here, the 'front frame' 1G3' is fixed across the front edge of the left side panel of the left side panel ι〇ι, 1345012, and serves as the mounting frame for the door 2. The clothes input port lb is formed in the center of the front frame reinforcing plate 103. The door 2 is attached to the front frame reinforcing plate 103 which is made of a material having a high strength such as a steel plate. The installation state of the door 2 is a front view door in both the 5th and 6th views. The door 2 is a right open type that is opened from the right side. Here, the door 2 is a structure in which a right opening type and a left opening type are selected in the manufacturing process. Fig. 7 is a front view of a door of a conventional drum type washing machine, and Fig. 7 is a schematic top view showing a switch structure of a door (door) of a conventional drum type washing machine. As shown in Figure 7, the door 2 is viewed from the front and is rectangular. The door body 51 has a circular opening door frame 52 formed at the center of the center, and is attached to the opening of the door frame 52, and is formed in a see-through window 53 made of a transparent member such as heat-resistant glass, and covers the front surface of the see-through window 53 with a slightly rounded center. The semi-transparent, opaque synthetic resin door cover portion 54 is formed. Thereby, a see-through window is formed in the center of the door 2, and the inside of the washing machine can also be seen through the see-through window in a state where the door 2 is closed. 15 In the longitudinal straight portion of one of the door body 51 (on the left side of the right opening type), that is, the left side of the rectangle of the seventh drawing, an arc-shaped hinge for mounting the seventh drawing is provided at the upper and lower sides. A hinge arm mounting portion 63a at one end of the arm 63. The other end of the hinge arm 63 is fixed to the inside of the door frame 52 with a screw or the like. On the other hand, a hook-shaped hook 55 as a locking portion and an actuating body are formed on the longitudinal straight edge portion of the edge portion of the door main body 51 on the side opposite to the hinge arm attachment portion 63 & Receiving portion 56. Here, the fishing is applied in a state in which the horizontal center line G passing through the center point G of the circular opening of the door frame body 52 protrudes from the door frame body 52 to the rear. Further, the actuator receiving portion % is formed in a shape in which the six doors 2 which are substantially vertically symmetrical with respect to the hook 55 of the door flash mechanism 7 卡 engaged with the outer casing side are substantially vertically symmetrical with respect to the horizontal center line F. In other words, the positions of the two hinge arm attachment portions 63a and the two actuator receiving portions 56 are substantially equally spaced from the horizontal center line U in the vertical direction, and the fishing y is located on the horizontal center line ρ. Therefore, even if the state in which the door 2 is reversed up and down is approximately perpendicular to the center point G, it is rotated by 180 degrees (upside and down), and the appearance is the same as that of the door 2 being reversed with respect to the vertical line F'. Fig. 8 is a front view showing the construction of the frame reinforcing plate before the conventional drum type washing machine. The front frame reinforcing plate 103 is formed of a steel plate or the like, and has a circular opening 41 corresponding to the clothes insertion opening lb shown in Figs. 5 and 6 at the center thereof. A longitudinally elongated mounting portion 44 is formed at both end portions of the front frame reinforcing plate 103. The front frame reinforcing plate 103 is fixed to the mounting portion 44 by flanges formed on the left side panel 1 of the outer casing 1 and the front edge portion of the right side panel 102. In the right opening type of the door 2, a hinge mounting portion 42 for mounting the hinge mechanism 60 having the hinge arm 63 is provided between the mounting portion 44 on the left side and the opening 41. A latch mounting portion 43 for attaching the latch mechanism 70 provided to the hook 55 of the door 2 is provided between the mounting portion 44 on the right side and the opening 41. The outer shape of the front frame reinforcing plate 10 3 is substantially symmetrical with respect to the horizontal center line F. The positions of the hinge mounting portion 42 and the latch mounting portion 43 are also symmetrical with respect to the horizontal center line F. Therefore, even if the front frame reinforcing plate 103 is rotated by 180 degrees from the center point G in the same manner as the door 2, the front frame reinforcing plate 1〇3 is reversed from the vertical line F in appearance. As described above, the state in which the door 2 is attached to the front frame reinforcing plate 1〇3 is rotated by 180 degrees from the center point G, and 7 is changed from the right opening type to the left opening type. However, when the door 2 is rotated by 180 degrees, the positions of the screw holes of the front front reinforcing plate (9), the left side panel 101, and the right side plate 102 are deviated due to manufacturing variations or the like, which hinders assembly and the like.
因而，習知例不共用安裝孔，而是將安裝螺絲位置區 分為mu pm開式來製作n框補強板ι〇3在 m之右開式與左開式’使用不同之模具來製作。為可識別 右開式及左開式，而如第8圖所示，而於右開式用螺孔44R 及左開式用螺孔44L等賦與記號45。 然而，在此種習知之結構，門2之右開式與左開式，前 框補強板103與外箱1之一對左側面板ιοί及右侧面板1〇3之 固定位置不同。在一般之生產線，多為在同一位置線製造 門2之右開式及左開式，一旦安裝位置不同，作業處便不穩 定，開設螺孔等自動化之設定複雜，而使生產性降低。 15 又’進行前框補強板103、左側面板101及右側面板1〇2Therefore, the conventional example does not share the mounting hole, but divides the mounting screw position into a mu pm open type to make an n-frame reinforcing plate ι〇3 which is produced by using a different mold in the right open and left open styles of m. In order to recognize the right-open type and the left-open type, as shown in Fig. 8, the right-opening type screw hole 44R and the left-open type screw hole 44L are given the mark 45. However, in this conventional structure, the right-hand side and the left-open type of the door 2, the front frame reinforcing plate 103 and the outer case 1 have different fixed positions to the left side panel ιοί and the right side panel 1〇3. In the general production line, the right-opening and left-opening of the door 2 are mostly manufactured in the same position. Once the installation position is different, the working place is unstable, and the setting of the screw hole and the like is complicated, and the productivity is lowered. 15 and 'front frame reinforcement plate 103, left side panel 101 and right side panel 1〇2
之組裝之狀態構成滾筒式洗衣機之外箱1，要求強度及防振 構造。因此’在門2之左開式及右開式，外箱1之剛性不得 因門2之安裝位置而不同。因而，必須進行增加固緊之螺絲 數等之因應對策。 20 【發明内容】 發明概要 本發明之滾筒式洗衣機包含有收納且洗滌衣物之滾筒 式洗滌槽、在作為取出放入前述衣物之開口的投入口周圍 之前面面板、將前述滾筒式洗滌槽與前述前面面板一同包 8 1345012
