　以下、本発明の一実施の形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。なお、この実施の形態によって本発明が限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments.
　図１は本発明の一実施の形態における洗濯機の縦断面図、図２は本発明の一実施の形態における洗濯機の全体斜視図を示すものである。 FIG. 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an overall perspective view of the washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.
　図に示すように、洗濯機の本体１２内には、水槽１３が宙吊り状態に配設され、水槽１３内には有底円筒形の回転ドラム１４が、その軸心方向を正面側から背面側に向けて下向きに傾斜させて、かつ回転自在に配設されている。 As shown in the figure, a water tub 13 is suspended in the body 12 of the washing machine, and a bottomed cylindrical rotary drum 14 is disposed in the water tub 13 so that its axial direction changes from the front side to the back side. It is inclined downward and is disposed so as to be rotatable.
　水槽１３の正面側には回転ドラム１４の開口端に通じる衣類出入口１５が形成されている。また、本体１２の前面を構成する前部枠体１６の前部に形成された上向き傾斜面に設けられた投入開口部１７には、開閉自在に扉１８が設けられている。そして、扉１８を開くことにより、衣類出入口１５を通じて回転ドラム１４内の洗濯物を出し入れすることができる。 A clothing doorway 15 leading to the opening end of the rotating drum 14 is formed on the front side of the water tank 13. In addition, a door 18 is provided at the closing opening 17 provided on the upward inclined surface formed at the front portion of the front frame 16 constituting the front surface of the main body 12 so as to be freely opened and closed. Then, by opening the door 18, the laundry in the rotary drum 14 can be taken in and out through the clothing entrance 15.
　扉１８が上向き傾斜面に設けられているため、洗濯物を出し入れする作業が腰を屈めずに実施でき、水平横向きに設けた開口部から洗濯物を出し入れするドラム式洗濯機に比べて、作業性が良くなっている。 Since the door 18 is provided on the upward inclined surface, the work for putting in and out the laundry can be carried out without bending the waist, and compared with the drum type washing machine for taking in and out the laundry from the opening provided horizontally horizontally. Sex is getting better.
　回転ドラム１４の周面には水槽１３内に通じる多数の透孔１９が形成されている。また、回転ドラム１４は水槽１３の背面側に取り付けられたモータ２０によって正転及び逆転方向に回転駆動される。水槽１３には、注水管路２１及び排水管路２２が配管接続され、注水弁２３および排水弁２４の制御によって水槽１３内への注水及び水槽１３からの排水がなされる。 A large number of through holes 19 communicating with the water tank 13 are formed on the peripheral surface of the rotating drum 14. The rotating drum 14 is driven to rotate in the forward and reverse directions by a motor 20 attached to the back side of the water tank 13. A water injection pipe 21 and a drain pipe 22 are connected to the water tank 13, and water is injected into the water tank 13 and drained from the water tank 13 by controlling the water injection valve 23 and the drain valve 24.
　前部枠体１６の上部には操作表示装置２５が配置され、その下部には洗剤投入ケース２６が前方に引き出し可能となるように前部枠体１６に配置されている。使用者は運転に先立ち洗剤を洗剤投入ケース２６に入れ、必要に応じて操作表示装置２５を操作することにより、希望する運転内容を設定したり、運転スタート、一時停止を行ったり、運転の進行状態を認識したりすることができる。 The operation display device 25 is arranged at the upper part of the front frame body 16, and the detergent charging case 26 is arranged at the lower part of the front frame body 16 so that it can be pulled out forward. Prior to driving, the user puts the detergent in the detergent charging case 26 and operates the operation display device 25 as necessary to set the desired driving content, start driving, pause, or drive progress. Status can be recognized.
　扉１８を開いて回転ドラム１４内に洗濯物を投入して運転を開始すると、注水弁２３が開き、洗剤投入ケース２６内に水が注水され、その中に投入されていた洗剤を水で流しながら、注水管路２１を介して水槽１３内に所定量の注水がなされる。 When the door 18 is opened and the laundry is put into the rotating drum 14 and the operation is started, the water injection valve 23 is opened, water is poured into the detergent charging case 26, and the detergent that has been poured therein is poured with water. However, a predetermined amount of water is injected into the water tank 13 through the water injection pipe 21.
　所定水位に到達すると、モータ２０により回転ドラム１４が回転駆動されて洗い行程が開始される。洗い行程の洗濯物は、回転ドラム１４の回転により回転方向に持ち上げられ落下する撹拌動作が繰り返され洗濯がなされる。 When the predetermined water level is reached, the rotary drum 14 is driven to rotate by the motor 20 and the washing process is started. The laundry in the washing process is washed by repeating the stirring operation of being lifted and dropped in the rotational direction by the rotation of the rotating drum 14.
　所要の洗濯時間の後、排水弁２４が開き、汚れた洗濯液は排水管路２２から排出され、回転ドラム１４を高速回転させる脱水動作により、洗濯物に含まれた洗濯液を脱水する。 After the required washing time, the drain valve 24 opens, the dirty washing liquid is discharged from the drain pipe 22, and the washing liquid contained in the laundry is dehydrated by a dehydrating operation that rotates the rotating drum 14 at a high speed.
　その後、排水弁２４が閉じられ、水槽１３内に注水管路２１から注水を行い、すすぎ行程が実施される。このすすぎ行程においても、洗濯物には回転ドラム１４の回転により撹拌動作が繰り返されてすすぎ洗いが実施される。 Thereafter, the drain valve 24 is closed, and water is injected into the water tank 13 from the water injection pipe 21 to carry out a rinsing process. Also in the rinsing process, the laundry is rinsed by repeating the stirring operation by the rotation of the rotating drum 14.
　図３は本発明の実施の形態における洗濯機の操作表示装置の平面図であり、図４Ａは図３における４Ａ－４Ａ断面図、図４Ｂは図３における４Ｂ－４Ｂ断面図、図５は図３における５－５断面図、図６は図３における６－６断面図示す。 3 is a plan view of the operation display device of the washing machine according to the embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4A is a sectional view taken along the line 4A-4A in FIG. 3, FIG. 4B is a sectional view taken along the line 4B-4B in FIG. 5 is a sectional view taken along line 5-5, and FIG. 6 is a sectional view taken along line 6-6 in FIG.
　図３、図４Ａ、図４Ｂ、図５、図６において、操作表示装置２５は、前部枠体１６の上方と天板２７との間に配置されている。透明樹脂部２８の表面は、透明樹脂部２８にインサート成形されたＰＥＴフィルムからなるパネルシート２９で覆われている。パネルシート２９は、着色、印刷が施された化粧面を成し、透明樹脂部２８およびパネルシート２９には、その中央に略矩形形状を成す開口部３０が設けられている。 3, FIG. 4A, FIG. 4B, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6, the operation display device 25 is disposed between the upper part of the front frame 16 and the top plate 27. The surface of the transparent resin portion 28 is covered with a panel sheet 29 made of a PET film insert-molded in the transparent resin portion 28. The panel sheet 29 has a decorative surface that has been colored and printed, and the transparent resin portion 28 and the panel sheet 29 are provided with an opening 30 having a substantially rectangular shape at the center thereof.
　この開口部３０は透明樹脂部２８もパネルシート２９も無い領域であり、その裏面には透明ガラスからなる透明板３１が弾性体３２を介して操作表示装置２５に取付けられている。弾性体３２は透明板３１の外周部を挟持し、透明樹脂部２８における開口部３０の周囲と透明板３１との間で、弾性体３２を押圧しながら固定している。 The opening 30 is an area where neither the transparent resin portion 28 nor the panel sheet 29 is present, and a transparent plate 31 made of transparent glass is attached to the operation display device 25 via an elastic body 32 on the back surface thereof. The elastic body 32 sandwiches the outer peripheral portion of the transparent plate 31 and fixes the elastic body 32 while pressing between the periphery of the opening 30 in the transparent resin portion 28 and the transparent plate 31.
　この透明板３１の裏面には、透明電極３３をＯＣＡテープ（Ｏｐｔｉｃａｌ　Ｃｌｅａｒ　Ａｄｈｅｓｉｖｅ　Ｔａｐｅ）と呼ばれる透明両面テープ３７で接着することで、タッチパネル３８を形成する。従って、タッチパネル３８は透明で透光性を有する。 The touch panel 38 is formed on the back surface of the transparent plate 31 by bonding the transparent electrode 33 with a transparent double-sided tape 37 called an OCA tape (Optical Clear Adhesive Tape). Therefore, the touch panel 38 is transparent and translucent.
　また、タッチパネル３８の裏面下側には、液晶パネル３４が液晶パネル取付台３５に取付けられている。さらに、この液晶パネル取付台３５の液晶パネル３４取付面と反対側には、透明電極３３や液晶パネル３４を制御するメイン制御基板３６が取付けられる。 Further, a liquid crystal panel 34 is attached to a liquid crystal panel mounting base 35 below the back surface of the touch panel 38. Further, a main control board 36 for controlling the transparent electrode 33 and the liquid crystal panel 34 is mounted on the opposite side of the liquid crystal panel mounting base 35 from the liquid crystal panel 34 mounting surface.
　このように、透明板３１、透明両面テープ３７、透明電極３３、液晶パネル３４、メイン制御基板３６の順で積み重ねられている。そして、操作表示装置２５の表側からは、タッチパネル３８を形成する透明板３１、透明両面テープ３７、透明電極３３を介して、液晶パネル３４に表示される絵柄や文字を視認することができる。なお、液晶パネル３４の裏面側すなわちタッチパネル３８と反対側に、面状に構成された照明装置（図示せず）を配置し、液晶パネル３４に照射することで、液晶パネル３４に表示される絵柄や文字の視認性を一層高めることもできる。 Thus, the transparent plate 31, the transparent double-sided tape 37, the transparent electrode 33, the liquid crystal panel 34, and the main control board 36 are stacked in this order. Then, from the front side of the operation display device 25, it is possible to visually recognize pictures and characters displayed on the liquid crystal panel 34 through the transparent plate 31, the transparent double-sided tape 37, and the transparent electrode 33 that form the touch panel 38. Note that an illumination device (not shown) having a planar shape is arranged on the back side of the liquid crystal panel 34, that is, on the side opposite to the touch panel 38, and the pattern displayed on the liquid crystal panel 34 by irradiating the liquid crystal panel 34. And the visibility of characters can be further enhanced.
　メイン制御基板３６には、タッチパネル３８へ信号を入出力することで人がタッチ操作したかどうかを判定し、マイクロコンピュータ３９に判定信号を伝達させるタッチパネル専用ＩＣ４０を実装している。 The main control board 36 is equipped with a touch panel dedicated IC 40 that determines whether or not a person has performed a touch operation by inputting / outputting a signal to / from the touch panel 38 and transmits a determination signal to the microcomputer 39.
　透明板３１の裏側には、液晶パネル３４やメイン制御基板３６などの電装部品があり防水が必要となる。そこで略矩形形状の透明板３１の外周部を枠形状の弾性体３２で覆い、この弾性体３２を介して略矩形形状の開口部３０の裏面に取り付けている。 On the back side of the transparent plate 31, there are electrical components such as a liquid crystal panel 34 and a main control board 36, which require waterproofing. Therefore, the outer periphery of the substantially rectangular transparent plate 31 is covered with a frame-shaped elastic body 32, and attached to the back surface of the substantially rectangular opening 30 via the elastic body 32.
　開口部３０の上辺４１および下辺４２の周囲において、透明板３１の表面側、裏面側、端面側の３方向を弾性体３２で挟持している。そして、この透明板３１を挟持した弾性体３２を、操作表示装置２５と液晶パネル取付台３５との間に圧接することで、防水性を確保する。 In the periphery of the upper side 41 and the lower side 42 of the opening 30, the elastic body 32 holds the three directions of the front surface side, the back surface side, and the end surface side of the transparent plate 31. The elastic body 32 sandwiching the transparent plate 31 is pressed between the operation display device 25 and the liquid crystal panel mounting base 35 to ensure waterproofness.
　また、開口部３０の左辺４３および右辺４４の周囲において、透明板３１の裏面側、端面側の２方向を弾性体３２に当接させている。そして、この弾性体３２と透明板３１とを、操作表示装置２５と液晶パネル取付台３５との間に圧接することで、防水性を確保する。 Further, around the left side 43 and the right side 44 of the opening 30, the back surface side and the end surface side of the transparent plate 31 are brought into contact with the elastic body 32. The elastic body 32 and the transparent plate 31 are pressed against each other between the operation display device 25 and the liquid crystal panel mounting base 35 to ensure waterproofness.
　なお、ここでは、開口部３０の左辺４３および右辺４４の周囲における防水構造と、開口部３０の上辺４１および下辺４２の周囲における防水構造とは異なる構成を例示した。しかし、開口部３０の左辺４３および右辺４４の周囲における防水構造を、開口部３０の上辺４１および下辺４２の周囲における防水構造と同様の構成にしても良好な効果が得られる。 In addition, here, a structure different from the waterproof structure around the left side 43 and the right side 44 of the opening 30 and the waterproof structure around the upper side 41 and the lower side 42 of the opening 30 is illustrated. However, even if the waterproof structure around the left side 43 and the right side 44 of the opening 30 is the same as the waterproof structure around the upper side 41 and the lower side 42 of the opening 30, a good effect can be obtained.
　操作表示装置２５の裏面において、開口部３０の４隅にはボス４５を設け、液晶パネル取付台３５、および裏面カバー４６がネジ４７で締結される。裏面カバー４６は、メイン制御基板３６を裏面から覆う樹脂部材から成っているものである。 Bosses 45 are provided at the four corners of the opening 30 on the back surface of the operation display device 25, and the liquid crystal panel mounting base 35 and the back cover 46 are fastened with screws 47. The back cover 46 is made of a resin member that covers the main control board 36 from the back.
　ネジ４７の締結状態では、弾性体３２が液晶パネル取付台３５に押圧され、弾性体３２が透明板３１および操作表示装置２５と密着するので、開口部３０周囲の防水性が確保される。よって使用者が誤って開口部３０に水や液体洗剤をこぼしたりしても、内部にある液晶パネル３４やメイン制御基板３６といった電装部品に水が付着することが無く、部品の信頼性が確保され、故障や誤動作を防止する。 When the screw 47 is fastened, the elastic body 32 is pressed against the liquid crystal panel mounting base 35 and the elastic body 32 is in close contact with the transparent plate 31 and the operation display device 25, so that the waterproof property around the opening 30 is ensured. Therefore, even if the user accidentally spills water or liquid detergent into the opening 30, water does not adhere to the electrical components such as the liquid crystal panel 34 and the main control board 36 inside, and the reliability of the components is ensured. And prevent malfunctions and malfunctions.
　また、透明板３１は、弾性体３２を介して開口部３０の裏面に取り付けられるので、外部から加わる衝撃を緩和し、衝撃によってガラスが破損することを防止できる。例えば使用者が何かを透明板３１に落とした時や、製品が包装状態で使用者宅に届けられる物流の途中で、積荷状態から落下したり転倒したりされた時に透明板３１には衝撃力が加わる。その際、透明板３１の外周に弾性体３２を配置させることで衝撃を緩和する構造となり、外部から衝撃が加わっても破損を防止することができる。 Further, since the transparent plate 31 is attached to the back surface of the opening 30 via the elastic body 32, the impact applied from the outside can be reduced and the glass can be prevented from being damaged by the impact. For example, when the user drops something on the transparent plate 31, or when the product is dropped or falls from the loaded state in the middle of the distribution of the product delivered to the user's home in a packaged state, the transparent plate 31 is shocked. Power is added. At that time, the elastic body 32 is arranged on the outer periphery of the transparent plate 31 to reduce the impact, and damage can be prevented even if an impact is applied from the outside.
　操作表示装置２５には、タッチパネル３８から、分離、独立させたスタートボタン５４、電源入りボタン５２、電源切りボタン５３、戻るボタン５５を設けている。 The operation display device 25 is provided with a start button 54, a power-on button 52, a power-off button 53, and a return button 55 that are separated and independent from the touch panel 38.
　スタートボタン５４は、洗濯機の運転コース等の各種設定を終えた後、使用者が洗濯機の動作の開始を指示するボタンである。電源入りボタン５２および電源切りボタン５３は、使用者が洗濯機の電源を入り切りするボタンである。戻るボタン５５は、使用者がタッチパネル３８にて操作する際に、ひとつ手前の表示画面に戻す指示をするためのボタンである。 The start button 54 is a button for instructing the user to start the operation of the washing machine after completing various settings such as the washing machine operation course. The power-on button 52 and the power-off button 53 are buttons for the user to turn on and off the washing machine. The return button 55 is a button for instructing to return to the previous display screen when the user operates the touch panel 38.
　スタートボタン５４、電源入りボタン５２、電源切りボタン５３、戻るボタン５５は、それぞれタッチパネル３８から分離、独立し、操作表示装置２５内に設けられている。 The start button 54, the power-on button 52, the power-off button 53, and the return button 55 are separated and independent from the touch panel 38 and are provided in the operation display device 25.
　スタートボタン５４、電源入りボタン５２、電源切りボタン５３、戻るボタン５５といった押圧操作ボタン部は、それぞれ同様に構成されている。まず、スイッチ４９を積載したサブ制御基板５０が裏面カバー４６に固定されることにより操作表示装置２５の内部に設けられる。また、スイッチ４９を押圧操作する操作部材５１が、操作表示装置２５外部から押圧できるように操作表示装置２５にはボタン開口部８０が設けられている。なお、ボタン開口部８０は、操作表示装置２５の表面に一体形成したパネルシート２９により塞がれていて、これにより、ボタン開口部８０から水が内部に侵入するのを防止する。 The pressing operation button portions such as the start button 54, the power-on button 52, the power-off button 53, and the return button 55 are similarly configured. First, the sub-control board 50 on which the switch 49 is loaded is fixed to the back cover 46 and provided inside the operation display device 25. The operation display device 25 is provided with a button opening 80 so that the operation member 51 for pressing the switch 49 can be pressed from the outside of the operation display device 25. The button opening 80 is closed by a panel sheet 29 integrally formed on the surface of the operation display device 25, thereby preventing water from entering the inside from the button opening 80.
　このように、操作部材５１は操作表示装置２５と裏面カバー４６の間に保持されるように設けられている。スタートボタン５４、電源入りボタン５２、電源切りボタン５３、戻るボタン５５を含む押圧操作ボタン部４８には透明樹脂部２８が無く、パネルシート２９のみが存在する。使用者はパネルシート２９を押圧することでパネルシート２９を変形させ、操作部材５１を介してスイッチ４９を押圧する。 Thus, the operation member 51 is provided so as to be held between the operation display device 25 and the back cover 46. The pressing operation button portion 48 including the start button 54, the power-on button 52, the power-off button 53, and the return button 55 does not have the transparent resin portion 28 and only the panel sheet 29 exists. The user presses the panel sheet 29 to deform the panel sheet 29 and presses the switch 49 via the operation member 51.
　これにより、使用者は、軽い操作力でスイッチ４９を操作でき、押圧操作するとスイッチ４９の入力信号がサブ制御基板５０からメイン制御基板３６のマイクロコンピュータ３９へ伝達される。 Thus, the user can operate the switch 49 with a light operating force.
