CN105088669 discloses the mounting of a control panel protection means which provides protection against dust, dirt and fire, and a washing machine which comprises said protection means. Japanese Patent Application No.JPH09206492A CN1465783A discloses a control panel assembly for a washing machine, wherein the control panel is mounted on the machine shell and equipped with electronic elements for operating the washing machine. European Patent Application No.EP3155160A1 discloses a household appliance comprising a front panel, a printed circuit board, and a board housing fixed to the front panel. Japanese Patent No.JP4087215B2 - The aim of the present invention is the realization of a washing machine comprising a cover which can be mounted to the top panel easily and which protects the control card group against factors such as fire, water and dust.
- The washing machine of the present invention comprises the protective cover having at least one claw and the top cover having at least one housing suitable for engaging with the claws. The protective cover is mounted to the top panel so as to cover the control card.
- The protective cover comprises at least one claw on one side thereof which can engage with the housings arranged an edge region of the top panel and which enable the protective cover and the top panel to be removed from each other.
- The protective cover further comprises a centering hole. The centering hole engages with a post on the top panel. By means of the centering hole and the post which engage with each other, the protective cover is directly aligned with the top panel in the mounting position so as to cover the control card.

In this embodiment, the protective cover comprises at least one channel which can be engaged with the rib. Thus, when the top panel and the protective cover are mounted, the protective cover is not affected by any vibration which may occur in the machine.
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the rib on the top panel has a recess. The protective cover comprises a first extension which is inserted into said recess. The first extension allows the protective cover to move on the top panel along the width of the recess in y-y' axis, and limits further movement. Thus, in case of a vibration or an external effect, the protective cover is prevented from displacing from the position wherein the protective cover covers and protects the control card.
- In another embodiment of the present invention, a barrier is provided on one edge of the top panel. The protective cover comprises a second extension provided in the region corresponding to said barrier. The barrier and the second extension are positioned relative to each other so as to prevent the movement of the protective cover on the top panel in the x-x' axis. Thus, in case of a vibration or an external effect, the protective cover is prevented from displacing from the position wherein the protective cover covers and protects the control card.
- By means of the present invention, a washing machine is realized, wherein the top panel and the protective cover are mounted in a shorter time without using screws.

- The washing machine (1) comprises a body (2); a top panel (4) which covers the body (2); a control card (3) which is positioned between the top panel (4) and the body (3) and which controls the washing programs; and a protective cover (5) which protects the control card (3) against external factors such as fire, water and dust.
- The washing machine (1) of the present invention comprises the protective cover (5) having at least one claw (9) for mounting directly to the top panel (4), and the top panel (4) having at least one housing (8) suitable for engaging with the claw (9).
- In the washing machine (1) of the present invention, the claw (9) provided on the protective cover (5) engages with the housing (8) which is arranged on the top panel (4) and which is suitable for inserting the claw (9). The protective cover (5) is produced from a fireproof material and protects the control card (3) against factors such as fire, dust and water. As the claw (9) is fitted into the housing (8), the protective cover (5) is directly grouped with the top panel (4) without being aligned in the region above the control card (3) and without being attached to the body (2) by means of fixing members such as screws, etc. The top panel (4) which is grouped with the protective cover (5) is mounted to the body (2). Thus, the protective cover (5) is mounted without the need for using an additional connection member or without placing the protective cover (5) above the control card (3) in the body (2).
- The washing machine (1) comprises the protective cover (5) having at least one centering hole (6) so as to enable the protective cover (5) to be aligned in a position on the top panel (4) in a manner to cover the control card (3), and the top panel (4) having a post (7) which is inserted into the centering hole (6). Thus, the operator can align the protective cover (5) quickly so as to cover the control card (3).
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the washing machine (1) comprises the top panel (4) having a rib (10) so as to prevent the protective cover (5) from being affected from vibrations and enable the same to be firmly placed onto the top panel (4), and the protective cover (5) having a channel (11) which is suitable for engaging with the rib (10).
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the washing machine (1) comprises the protective cover (5) having a first extension (13) which prevents the protective cover (5) from moving in the vertical axis (y-y') in the top panel (4), and the top panel (4) having a rib (10) which has a recess (12) limiting the movement of the first extension (13) in the vertical axis (y-y'). Thus, after being mounted in the top panel (4), the protective cover (5) is allowed to move in the y-y' plane only as much as the width of the recess (12).
- In an embodiment of the present invention, the washing machine (1) comprises the protective cover (5) having a second extension (14) which prevents the protective cover (5) from moving in the horizontal axis (x-x') in the top panel (4), and the top panel (4) having a barrier (15) which prevents the second extension (14) from moving. Thereby, after being mounted in the top panel (4), the protective cover (5) does not move in the x-x' horizontal plane and the protective cover (5) is enabled to be mounted securely.
- By means of the present invention, a washing machine (1) is realized, comprising a protective cover (5) which is mounted directly to the top panel (4) without using screws.
