The present invention relates to a washing machine including a lid device having a folded lid structure on the upper surface of a washing machine body.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a lid device for a washing machine has been proposed in which a bearing portion and a fitting portion are formed on a front lid and a rear lid having a transparent portion, and an opaque member is attached from the back surface (see, for example, Patent Document 1). ). Thereby, the lid | cover apparatus of the washing machine which can be folded is implement | achieved.

Hereinafter, the conventional washing machine described in Patent Document 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 8 is an external perspective view of a conventional washing machine. FIG. 9 is an external perspective view of the lid of the washing machine. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view of the lid of the washing machine.

8 to 10, the conventional washing machine includes a washing machine main body 31, an upper surface cover 32, a lid 33, and the like. The washing machine body 31 is provided with an upper surface cover 32 at the top. The upper cover 32 is provided with a lid 33 that can be opened and closed at a substantially central portion. The lid body 33 includes a front lid body 34 and a rear lid body 35. The front lid body 34 and the rear lid body 35 are configured to be foldable at a substantially central portion of the lid body 33. At this time, the central portion of the front lid body 34 and the central portion of the rear lid body 35 have a transparent structure. Thereby, the inside of the washing machine main body 31 is made visible.

The front lid body 34 includes a front lid 40 having a handle portion 37 and a front lid pad 41. The front lid 40 is made of a transparent material and has a substantially semicircular shape. The front lid abutting plate 41 is formed of an opaque member in a substantially horseshoe shape and is attached to the back surface of the front lid 40. The rear lid body 35 includes a rear lid 42 and a rear lid pad 44. The rear lid 42 is made of a transparent material and has a substantially trapezoidal shape. The rear lid abutting plate 44 has an opening 43 at the center, is formed in a shape that approximates the rear lid 42, and is mounted from the back surface of the rear lid 42.

In the front lid 40, a plurality of bearing ribs 47 each including a bearing portion 46 having a through hole are integrally formed behind the rear wall 50.

The rear lid 42 is mounted from the lower back side at a position where the rear lid abutting plate 44 corresponds to the bearing portion 46 of the front lid 40. A support shaft rib 49 having a support shaft 45 is integrally formed on the rear lid abutting plate 44.

Then, by attaching the support shaft 45 of the rear lid 42 to the bearing portion 46 of the front lid 40, the front lid 40 and the rear lid 42 are rotatable. Thus, the shaft support structure 53 is configured by the front lid 40 and the rear lid 42.

At this time, the bearing portion 46 and the bearing rib 47 of the front lid 40 are provided at positions protruding rearward of the rear wall 50 of the front lid 40. As a result, the support shaft 45 and the support shaft rib 49 of the rear lid abutting plate 44 are disposed substantially below the shielding rib 52 extending toward the opening 43 side.

With the above configuration, even when the user looks into the washing tub through the front lid 40 made of a transparent material from the upper front side with the lid 33 closed, the bearing 46, the support shaft 45, the support shaft rib 49, etc. It becomes difficult to see. As a result, the design is improved with the lid 33 closed.

Furthermore, the washing machine having the above-described configuration has the stepped portion 40a on the surface of the front lid 40 of the transparent material of the front lid body 34. Thereby, the fitting part of the front cover pad 41 of the opaque member mounted on the back side of the front cover 40 is hidden.

Similarly, a stepped portion 42a is formed on the surface of the rear lid 42 of the transparent material of the rear lid body 35 so as to hide the fitting portion of the rear lid backing plate 44 mounted on the back side. Thereby, the fitting part of the back lid plate 44 attached to the back side of the back lid 42 is hidden.

However, since the washing machine has the

stepped portions

40a and 42a, the design with a flat feeling is impaired. Furthermore, water, detergent, etc. permeate from the gaps between the fitting parts, and the appearance quality and careability of the lid 33 are impaired.

Further, the front lid 40 and the rear lid 42 are generally formed of injection molded parts. For this reason, in order to improve the appearance quality, there is a case where a garnish is given. However, the decoration is performed by masking painting or insert molding of a printed film. Therefore, the lid 33 is expensive. Further, in the case of printing, since the printing range is limited, design restrictions and design with a sense of depth are limited.

Further, since the front lid 40 is formed of a transparent material and priority is given to transparency, the shaft support structure 53 is visually recognized through the front lid 40. Therefore, the appearance quality and design of the lid 33 are impaired.

The lid 3 includes support portions 13ab that are pivotally supported by the upper surface cover 2 on the left and right sides of the rear portion of the rear lid 5. The support portion 13ab is covered with a cover 15 disposed on the upper surface side in a state where the lid 3 is closed. Further, the lid body 3 has a first concave portion 11 a that constitutes a handle portion 7 that is disposed in a substantially rear central portion (including the rear central portion) of the front lid body 4. Then, when the user puts his hand into the first concave portion 11a and pushes the handle portion 7 upward while pushing it upward, the lid 3 is opened as shown in FIG.

Further, the surface portion 10b of the front side top surface member 10 and the surface portion 12b of the rear side top surface member 12 are formed in a flat shape without unevenness. That is, it is formed in a shape having no portion protruding from the surface portion 10b and the surface portion 12b. The detailed configuration of the lid 3 will be described in detail later.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the lid 3 of the washing machine will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 7B.

FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the lid 3 of the washing machine. FIG. 4 is a plan view of the front back member 11 of the lid 3 of the washing machine. FIG. 5 is a plan view of the rear back member 13 of the lid 3 of the washing machine. FIG. 6 is a longitudinal sectional view (front-rear direction) of the center of the lid 3 of the washing machine. FIG. 7A is an enlarged cross-sectional view of part a in FIG. 6 of the washing machine. FIG. 7B is an enlarged cross-sectional view of part b of FIG. 6 of the washing machine.

As shown in FIG. 3, the front lid 4 includes a front top member 10, a front back member 11, a handle cover 14, and the like. The front top surface member 10 is a transparent member such as an acrylic resin, for example, and has an outer shape of a substantially horseshoe shape (including a horseshoe shape). The outer shape of the front top member 10 is formed by notching the insertion port portion of the handle portion 7 disposed on the front back member 11. The front back member 11 is formed of an opaque member such as polypropylene resin, and is attached to the front top member 10 from the back. The front-side back member 11 has a substantially rectangular (including rectangular) first recess 11 a that forms the handle portion 7. The handle cover 14 is fixed to the front back member 11 with a plurality of claw-shaped portions 14 a and constitutes the lower portion of the handle portion 7.

The rear lid body 5 includes a rear top surface member 12, a rear back surface member 13, a cover 15, and the like. The rear side top surface member 12 is a transparent member such as an acrylic resin, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape (including a rectangular shape). The rear back member 13 is mounted from the rear surface of the rear top member 12 and has an opening 13a at a position facing the transparent central portion 12a of the rear top member 12. The outer shape of the rear back member 13 excluding the cover 15 is formed in a shape approximate to the rear top member 12. The cover 15 is disposed so as to cover the support portion 13ab formed on the rear side back surface member 13.

The front top surface member 10 and the front back member 11 are bonded and fixed only by the first fixing member 16 made of, for example, a double-sided tape. Similarly, the rear top surface member 12 and the rear back member 13 are bonded and fixed only by the second fixing member 17 made of, for example, a double-sided tape. Specifically, the first fixing member 16 and the second fixing member 17 are formed by adhering the double-sided tape to a base material made of an elastic member such as polypropylene resin. Therefore, the first fixing member 16 and the second fixing member 17 are formed thick. As a result, the fixing member having the above configuration is deformed following thermal expansion and contraction due to a change in the ambient temperature, and can absorb strain and the like due to a difference in thermal expansion coefficient. As a result, the front lid 40 and the front lid abutting plate 41, and the rear lid 42 and the rear lid abutting plate 44 can be made of different different materials such as a resin material and a metal material.

Further, the front side top surface member 10 and the rear side top surface member 12 are constituted by, for example, an extrusion-molded product of a detergent-resistant acrylic resin. Furthermore, the outer shape of the front side top surface member 10 and the rear side top surface member 12 is processed by, for example, NC (Numerical Control) processing.

The

decoration parts

10c and 12c are given to the back surface of the front side top member 10 and the back side top member 12 over the end of each member. The garnished

portions

10c and 12c are formed, for example, by silk printing with ink having excellent detergent resistance.

Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 to 7B, the front back member 11 and the rear back member 13 have a rib 11c and a rib 13c forming a groove 11b and a groove 13b in the vicinity of the outer periphery. The

ribs

11 c and 13 c are disposed in proximity to the corresponding front top member 10 and rear top member 12.

The front-side back member 11 has a second recess 11e between the groove 11b and the pasting surface 11d. An adhesive surface 11d for fixing the first fixing member 16 is formed in the second recess 11e.

Also, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 11f are disposed in the second recess 11e. Thereby, it partitions with the 1st reinforcement rib 11f which opposes, and the 1st space 11g is formed. Furthermore, one or more first drain holes 11h are disposed in each first space 11g.

On the other hand, the back side back member 13 is comprised by the two-layer structure of the sticking surface 13d and the back surface part 13e. Thereby, the mechanical strength of the back cover 5 is ensured. Similarly to the front-side back surface member 11, a plurality of second reinforcing ribs 13f are disposed between the pasting surface 13d and the back surface portion 13e. Thereby, it partitions with the 2nd reinforcement rib 13f which opposes, and the 2nd space 13g is formed. Furthermore, one or more second drain holes 13h are disposed in each second space 13g.

In addition, the front side back member 11, the back side back member 13, the handle cover 14, and the cover 15 mentioned above are manufactured by plastic injection molding processed goods, such as a product made from a polypropylene resin, for example. Thereby, even if each component is complicated, it becomes possible to cope. As a result, it is possible to adapt to various designs while improving productivity.

Further, the thickness t1 of the front top member 10 of the front lid 4 shown in FIG. 7A and the thickness t2 of the rear top member 12 of the rear lid 5 shown in FIG. 7B are in a thickness relationship of t1 <t2. It is set to become. Thereby, the load concerning the handle part 7 of the front lid 4 during the opening / closing operation of the lid 3 is suppressed. As a result, operability for the user is improved.

As described above, the washing machine of the present embodiment is configured.

Hereinafter, the operation and action of the washing machine configured as described above will be described.

First, the user pushes backward while lifting the handle 7 of the lid 3. By this operation, the lid 3 moves rearward while being bent with the shaft support 6 as a fulcrum. Then, the front lid body 34 and the rear lid body 35 are in the folded lid state shown in FIG. 2, and the lid body 3 is opened. Then, the clothes slot 20 of the washing tub 9 is opened. Thereby, it becomes possible to put laundry such as clothes or detergent through the clothes insertion port 20 into the washing tub 9 inside the washing machine body 1.

On the other hand, in a state where the lid 3 is closed, that is, in a state where the front lid 4 and the rear lid 5 form one surface (flat surface), the rear lid 5 has a transparent structure. The state inside the washing tub 9 can be easily confirmed through the transparent central portion 12a. Specifically, for example, movement of clothes can be visually recognized during washing.

Here, the reason why the lid 3 is configured to be foldable by the shaft support 6 will be described below.

Generally, the lid 3 is provided so as to be freely opened and closed in order to facilitate the input and extraction of clothes. At this time, if the lid 3 is formed in a single-sheet structure that cannot be folded, when the washing machine is enlarged, the height of the lid 3 when the lid 3 is opened becomes too high, and operability is increased. Decreases. Therefore, normally, the lid 33 is configured to be foldable to suppress the height when the lid 33 is opened. Thereby, in the installation place of a washing machine, the increase in the upper space required for opening the cover body 3 is suppressed. Furthermore, the opportunity to interfere with other members due to the opening and closing of the lid 3 is reduced by suppressing the space.

Further, the front side top surface member 10 and the front side back surface member 11 made of a transparent material of the lid 3 are bonded and fixed only by the first fixing member 16 made of, for example, a double-sided tape. Similarly, the rear top surface member 12 and the rear back member 13 are also bonded and fixed only by the second fixing member 17 made of, for example, a double-sided tape. Thereby, the front side top surface member 10 and the back side top surface member 12 will be in the state without the member which protrudes from each

surface part

10b, 12b. Therefore, the cover 3 can be configured to have a flat feeling and improved design.

Further, the front lid body 4 includes a front top member 10 made of a transparent material and a front back member 11 which is an opaque member attached to the back side of the front top member 10. And between the front top | upper surface member 10 and the front side back surface member 11, the groove part 11b, the 2nd recessed part 11e, the 1st drain hole 11h, etc. are formed. Further, a gap 11 j is formed between the outer periphery of the front top member 10 and the front back member 11.

At this time, when water, detergent, or the like is spilled on the surface of the front lid body 4, water, detergent, etc. enter the groove 11b, the second recess 11e, and the first drain hole 11h from the gap 11j shown in FIG. 7A. To do. Thereby, there is a possibility that the trace of the foreign matter that has entered may remain on the front lid body 4.

However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the ornamental portion 10c is applied to the end of the front side top surface member 10. The garnish portion 10c prevents the user from visually recognizing the remaining foreign object intrusion trace. Thereby, the appearance quality of the lid 3 can be improved. Furthermore, the care of the lid 3 and the like can be improved. That is, since the front side top surface member 10 covers the upper surface of the front lid body 4 except for the handle portion 7, there is no level difference as in the conventional configuration. As a result, the ease of cleaning is improved, such as quick wiping.

Further, the rear lid body 5 is composed of a transparent top rear member 12 and a rear rear member 13 attached to the rear side of the rear top member 12. A groove 13b, a second space 13g, a second drain hole 13h, and the like are formed between the rear top surface member 12 and the rear back surface member 13. Further, a gap 13 j is formed between the outer periphery of the rear side top surface member 12 and the rear side rear surface member 13.

At this time, as in the case of the front lid 4, when water, detergent, or the like is spilled on the surface of the rear lid 5, the groove 13 b, the second space 13 g, and the second water drain hole shown in FIG. Water, detergent, etc. enter 13h. Thereby, there is a possibility that the trace of the foreign matter that has entered may remain in the rear lid body 5. Further, water or detergent at the time of washing, water or detergent at the time of washing jumps, steam in washing using hot water, etc., from the gap of the opening 13a on the back surface, the groove 13b, the second space 13g, the second drain hole 13h, etc. There is a risk of intrusion.

However, in the present embodiment, as described above, the ornamental portion 12c is applied to the end of the rear side top surface member 12. The ornamental part 12c prevents the user from visually recognizing the remaining foreign substance intrusion trace. Thereby, the appearance quality of the lid 3 can be improved. In addition, care for the lid 3 and the like can be improved.

In addition, on the back surfaces of the front top surface member 10 and the rear top surface member 12 constituting the lid 3, decorated

portions

10 c and 12 c are silk-printed with ink having excellent detergent resistance up to the end of each member. Has been given. Thereby, the appearance quality of the lid 3 is improved. At this time, it is not necessary to apply the

decorative portions

10c and 12c by expensive masking painting or insert molding of a printed film. Furthermore, it is possible to design without limiting the printing range of the

festoons

10c and 12c. Thereby, the lid 3 having a sense of depth and high design can be configured.

Moreover, the front side top surface member 10 and the rear side top surface member 12 of the lid 3 are formed with substantially the same area (including the same area) as the front side back surface member 11 and the rear side back surface member 13. The front top member 10 and the rear top member 12 constitute substantially the entire surface (including the entire surface) of the lid 3. Therefore, it is possible to improve the flatness of the lid 3 and the design properties of the

decorative portions

10c and 12c.

Further, the front back member 11 has a single layer structure without an opening, and the rear back member 13 has a two layer structure. Then, an opening 13 a is provided in the rear side rear surface member 13. Furthermore, the front back member 11 and the rear back member 13 are formed of the same material with the same volume. Thereby, the weights of the front-side back member 11 and the back-side back member 13 are configured to be substantially equal (including equivalent).

Furthermore, the thickness t1 of the front side top surface member 10 and the thickness t2 of the rear side top surface member 12 are set so as to satisfy a thickness relationship of t1 <t2. Therefore, the weight of the front lid 4 is lighter than that of the rear lid 5. Thereby, the weight concerning the handle part 7 at the time of the opening / closing operation | movement of the cover body 3 becomes small. As a result, the operability of the lid 3 is improved for the user.

That is, in the washing machine of the present embodiment, the front side top surface member 10 and the rear side top surface member 12 constituting the top surface portion of the lid 3 are formed of a plate-like transparent resin material. In addition, on the back surfaces of the front side top surface member 10 and the rear side top surface member 12,

gorgeous portions

10c and 12c by silk printing or the like are provided to the end portions. Further, a transparent center where the inside of the washing tub 9 in the washing machine body 1 is visible at a position corresponding to the opening 13a of the rear back member 13 at a substantially central portion (including the central portion) of the rear top surface member 12. The portion 12a is formed. Thereby, in the state which closed the cover body 3, the design with the feeling of depth of a surface, a transparent feeling, and a flat feeling are realizable. Furthermore, the appearance quality of the lid 3 can be enhanced with an inexpensive configuration, and the care for the user can be improved.

In the washing machine of the present embodiment, the thickness t1 of the front top member 10 is smaller than the thickness t2 of the rear top member 12. Thereby, the weight concerning the handle part 7 at the time of opening / closing operation | movement of the cover body 3 can be made small. As a result, user operability is improved.

As described above, the washing machine of the present invention includes the top cover disposed in the upper part of the washing machine body, the clothing input port formed in the top cover, and the two foldable sheets disposed in the clothing input port. A lid having a folded lid structure is provided. The lid includes a front lid having a handle provided at the front and a rear lid provided at the rear of the front lid. The front lid body has a front top surface member having a shape with no irregularities on the surface forming the top surface and a front back surface member forming the back surface, and the rear lid body has no irregularities on the surface forming the top surface. It has a rear back surface member having a shape and a rear back surface member having an opening for forming the back surface. And a front side top surface member and a back side top surface member are comprised by the transparent member which has a garnishing part in a back surface.

According to this configuration, it is possible to realize a design with a sense of depth on the surface and a lid with a sense of transparency and flatness when the lid is closed. As a result, the appearance quality of the lid can be increased at a low cost, and the care can be further improved.

Further, in the washing machine of the present invention, the thickness t1 of the front side top surface member may be smaller than the thickness t2 of the rear side top surface member. Thereby, the weight concerning a handle part becomes small at the time of opening / closing operation | movement of a cover body. As a result, the operability of the lid is improved for the user.

The present invention can be applied to a washing machine having a lid that requires high appearance quality and design, and other household appliances.
