Therefore, the water or the washing powder which is infiltrated from the small opening portion 9 formed in the front side (10) can be reliably prevented by the protective plate 39, and the cross section is roughly The inside of the box having the l-shape can completely prevent the intrusion of water or washing powder. As a result, the speaker 25 does not apply a waterproof structure. Also, since the protective plate 39 does not block the passage of air. A special thin plate that blocks the liquid, so that the sound pressure is not reduced, and the sound notification can be completed by the application of 12 1362440. The lower part is also formed into a cylinder (10) portion 2a which is formed inside the small opening portion 9 of the front panel 2, and The outer peripheral portion of the cover 8 provided with the slit M8a is inserted into the cylindrical cylindrical rib 2a. Therefore, the "structure which can maintain the airtightness of the front panel 2" can be realized, and the box (4) having a substantially L-shaped cross section can be realized. The internal sound is not leaked on the way. Moreover, since the sound can be reported from the small opening portion 9 of the front panel 2, the small sounder can also perform a sufficient function.
如上，本發明之洗衣機的聲音報知構成，為能接近使 用者而將揚聲器配置於前方，讓使用者能更易於辨認聲 音。而且’來自洗衣機外部的水或異物等不會達到揚聲器， 並且即使將揚聲器小型化也可確保充分的報知聲壓。 【主要元件符號說明】As described above, the sound notification structure of the washing machine of the present invention is such that the speaker can be placed in front of the user so that the user can recognize the sound more easily. Further, water or foreign matter from the outside of the washing machine does not reach the speaker, and even if the speaker is miniaturized, sufficient sound pressure can be ensured.
