特開２０１４−１８６１１号公報JP 2014-18611 A

前記特許文献１には、２つ折りで開く洗濯槽の開閉蓋が記載されており、この開閉蓋の後部開閉蓋と前部開閉蓋とは、閉じた状態で洗濯機前側からみた場合、後部開閉蓋の長さ長くなっている。特許文献１の技術では、特に後部開閉蓋の長さを長くした場合の問題点や、開閉蓋にガラス等の重量物の材質を採用した際の問題については考慮されていない。   Patent Document 1 describes a lid for opening and closing a washing tub that is folded in half, and the rear opening / closing lid and the front opening / closing lid of the opening / closing lid are closed when viewed from the front side of the washing machine in a closed state. The length of the lid is longer. The technique of Patent Document 1 does not take into consideration problems particularly when the length of the rear opening / closing lid is increased and problems when a heavy material such as glass is used for the opening / closing lid.

そこで、本発明は、洗濯機前側からみた洗濯槽の開閉蓋の後部開閉蓋の長さを長くし、且つ、ガラス等の重量の重い材質を開閉蓋に採用した場合の不具合を解消した洗濯機の開閉蓋および洗濯機を提供することを課題とする。具体的には、ふたが重くなるため、ふた開状態において、ふたが不安定となり、顧客取扱い時に洗濯機前側方向に倒れてくる虞がある。   Accordingly, the present invention provides a washing machine that eliminates the disadvantages of increasing the length of the rear opening / closing lid of the opening / closing lid of the washing tub as viewed from the front side of the washing machine and employing a heavy material such as glass for the opening / closing lid. It is an object to provide an opening / closing lid and a washing machine. Specifically, since the lid becomes heavy, the lid becomes unstable when the lid is opened, and there is a possibility that the lid may fall down in the front direction of the washing machine when handled by a customer.

上記課題を解決するため、本発明の一形態は、開閉蓋と上部トップカバーに係合形状を設け、ふたが洗濯機前面方向に倒れてきた際に、係合部がストッパーとなり固定される構造としている。   In order to solve the above-described problems, an embodiment of the present invention is a structure in which an engagement shape is provided in the opening / closing lid and the upper top cover, and the engagement portion is fixed as a stopper when the lid falls in the front direction of the washing machine. It is said.

以下、本発明の実施例について図面を用いて説明する。以下の図面には洗濯機の上下左右前後方向を適宜矢印で示している。   Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In the following drawings, the vertical and horizontal directions of the washing machine are indicated by arrows as appropriate.

図１、図２は、本実施例の洗濯機の斜視図である。洗濯機２の上部には洗濯槽３の上を覆うトップカバー４および開閉蓋１が設けられている。すなわち、図１に示すように、洗濯機２の上部の最後部にはリアパネル１１が設けられ、洗濯機２の上部の最前部には操作パネル１２が設けられている。開閉蓋１は、このリアパネル１１と操作パネル１２との間に設けられている。開閉蓋１は、図２に示すように二つ折りに開くことができ、開くことで洗濯槽３の上部が露出する。開閉蓋１は、当該開閉蓋１の洗濯機後方側を構成している後部開閉蓋３１と、開閉蓋１の洗濯機前方側を構成する前部開閉蓋４１とを備えている。後部開閉蓋３１の上面には、ガラス板３４が設けられている。
開閉蓋１の後方側の基端部２１には一対のヒンジ部（第１ヒンジ部）２２が設けられ、開閉蓋１は、ヒンジ部２２により開閉自在に洗濯機２の上部後方側に支持されている。 1 and 2 are perspective views of the washing machine of this embodiment. A top cover 4 and an opening / closing lid 1 are provided on the upper portion of the washing machine 2 to cover the washing tub 3. That is, as shown in FIG. 1, a rear panel 11 is provided at the rearmost part of the upper part of the washing machine 2, and an operation panel 12 is provided at the foremost part of the upper part of the washing machine 2. The opening / closing lid 1 is provided between the rear panel 11 and the operation panel 12. The opening / closing lid 1 can be folded in half as shown in FIG. 2, and the upper part of the washing tub 3 is exposed by opening. The opening / closing lid 1 includes a rear opening / closing lid 31 constituting the washing machine rear side of the opening / closing lid 1 and a front opening / closing lid 41 constituting the washing machine front side of the opening / closing lid 1. A glass plate 34 is provided on the upper surface of the rear opening / closing lid 31.
A pair of hinge portions (first hinge portions) 22 are provided at the base end portion 21 on the rear side of the opening / closing lid 1, and the opening / closing lid 1 is supported by the hinge portion 22 on the upper rear side of the washing machine 2. ing.

図３は、本実施例の洗濯機の上面図、図４は、図３のＡ−Ａ縦断面図であり、（ａ）は全体図、（ｂ）は同（ａ）のＢ部分の拡大図、（ｃ）はＣ部分の拡大図である。後部開閉蓋３１と前部開閉蓋４１とは、後述のヒンジ機構により連結され、後部開閉蓋３１が上側に持ち上がり、前部開閉蓋４１が前方下方に折れ曲がることにより、図２に示すように２つ折り開きができる。   3 is a top view of the washing machine of the present embodiment, FIG. 4 is an AA longitudinal sectional view of FIG. 3, (a) is an overall view, and (b) is an enlarged view of a portion B of (a). FIG. 4C is an enlarged view of a C portion. As shown in FIG. 2, the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the front opening / closing lid 41 are connected by a hinge mechanism, which will be described later, and the rear opening / closing lid 31 is lifted upward and the front opening / closing lid 41 is bent forward and downward. Can be folded.

ところで、このような２つ折り開きできる開閉蓋１において、意匠性を高めるために、表面にガラス板を形成することが考えられる。そして、意匠性を考えれば、ガラス板はなるべく大きく見せたい。そこで、後部開閉蓋３１と前部開閉蓋４１のそれぞれにガラス板を形成してガラス板全体を大きく見せることも考えられる。
しかし、ガラス板を形成してガラス板全体を大きくした際、洗濯機２の上部に乾燥機１０２（図６参照）を設置した場合、開閉蓋１が乾燥機１０２にぶつかる不具合を生じる。
そこで、かかる課題、その他の課題を解決する本実施例の技術内容について以下に説明する。 By the way, in such an openable lid 1 that can be folded in two, it is conceivable to form a glass plate on the surface in order to enhance the design. And considering the design, I want to make the glass plate look as big as possible. Therefore, it is conceivable to form a glass plate on each of the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the front opening / closing lid 41 to make the entire glass plate look larger.
However, when the glass plate is formed and the entire glass plate is enlarged, when the dryer 102 (see FIG. 6) is installed on the upper part of the washing machine 2, there is a problem that the opening / closing lid 1 hits the dryer 102.
Therefore, the technical contents of the present embodiment for solving such problems and other problems will be described below.

図３、図４に示すように、後部開閉蓋３１は、例えば樹脂製の本体パネル３２を備えている。本体パネル３２の上面にはガラス支持部３３が形成されている。すなわち、本体パネル３２上面には一枚板のガラス板３４が設けられ、このガラス板３４はガラス支持部３３上に支持されている。後部開閉蓋３１の前側の縁部分全体には鉤型の係止部３５が設けられ、係止部３５の先端部は後側を向いている。同様に、後部開閉蓋３１の後側の縁部分全体には鉤型の係止部３６が設けられ、係止部３６の先端部は前側を向いている。すなわち、係止部３５はガラス板３４の前側の縁部分３４ａを係り止めし、係止部３６はガラス板３４の後側の縁部分３４ｂを係り止めして、もってガラス板３４を本体パネル３２に固定している。
前部開閉蓋４１の左右方向中央部で、後部開閉蓋３１に近い位置には、開閉蓋１を開閉するための取っ手４２が設けられている。 As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the rear opening / closing lid 31 includes a main body panel 32 made of, for example, resin. A glass support portion 33 is formed on the upper surface of the main body panel 32. That is, a single glass plate 34 is provided on the upper surface of the main body panel 32, and the glass plate 34 is supported on the glass support portion 33. A hook-shaped locking portion 35 is provided on the entire front edge portion of the rear opening / closing lid 31, and the distal end portion of the locking portion 35 faces the rear side. Similarly, a hook-shaped locking portion 36 is provided on the entire rear edge portion of the rear opening / closing lid 31, and the leading end of the locking portion 36 faces the front side. That is, the latching portion 35 latches the front edge portion 34a of the glass plate 34, and the latching portion 36 latches the rear edge portion 34b of the glass plate 34, thereby fixing the glass plate 34 to the main body panel 32. It is fixed to.
A handle 42 for opening and closing the opening / closing lid 1 is provided at a position near the rear opening / closing lid 31 at the center in the left-right direction of the front opening / closing lid 41.

意匠性を高めるために、後部開閉蓋３１と前部開閉蓋４１との境界部４３は、左右方向中央部が前側に膨らむようななだらかな円弧形状をなしている。すなわち、後部開閉蓋３１の前側の縁部分は左右方向中央部が前側に膨らむようななだらかな円弧形状である。また、前部開閉蓋４１の後ろ側の縁部分は左右方向中央部が前側に凹むようななだらかな円弧形状である。そして、後部開閉蓋３１の前側の縁部分の形状と前部開閉蓋４１の後ろ側の縁部分の形状とは、開閉蓋１を閉じた状態で図３に示すように合っている。   In order to enhance the design, the boundary 43 between the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the front opening / closing lid 41 has a gentle arc shape in which the central portion in the left-right direction swells forward. That is, the front edge portion of the rear opening / closing lid 31 has a gentle arc shape such that the central portion in the left-right direction swells forward. Moreover, the edge part of the rear side of the front opening / closing lid 41 has a gentle arc shape in which the central part in the left-right direction is recessed forward. Then, the shape of the front edge portion of the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the shape of the edge portion of the rear side of the front opening / closing lid 41 are matched as shown in FIG. 3 with the opening / closing lid 1 closed.

図３に示すように、前方から見た開閉蓋１の長さＬのうち、後部開閉蓋３１の長さＬ１がその２分の１を超え、より望ましくは３分の１を超え、その分、前部開閉蓋４１の長さＬ２は短くなっている。なお、図３の例においては、長さＬ１が長さＬの４分の３程度になっているが、これは一例に過ぎない。
なお、図４において説明していない符号については後記する。 As shown in FIG. 3, the length L1 of the rear opening / closing lid 31 out of the length L of the opening / closing lid 1 as viewed from the front exceeds half, more desirably more than one third. The length L2 of the front opening / closing lid 41 is shortened. In the example of FIG. 3, the length L1 is about three quarters of the length L, but this is only an example.
In addition, the code | symbol which is not demonstrated in FIG. 4 is mentioned later.

図５は、開閉蓋１の分解斜視図である。後部開閉蓋３１の前側の端縁５１における左右方向両端部には、それぞれ張出部５２、５３が前側に張り出している。張出部５２、５３には、それぞれ円筒状の支持軸５２ａ、５３ａが軸方向を左右方向とし、その先端部を支持軸５２ａは右側、支持軸５３ａは左側に向けて設けられている。   FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the opening / closing lid 1. Overhanging portions 52 and 53 project to the front side at both ends in the left-right direction of the front edge 51 of the rear opening / closing lid 31, respectively. Cylindrical support shafts 52a and 53a are provided on the overhang portions 52 and 53, respectively, with the axial direction being the left-right direction, the tip portions thereof being provided with the support shaft 52a on the right side and the support shaft 53a on the left side.

後部開閉蓋３１の前側の端縁５１における左右方向中央部には、端縁５１から前側（前部開閉蓋４１側）に向かって阻止部材５４が張り出している。この阻止部材５４は、端縁５１から張り出している部分が左右方向を長手方向とする円筒形状をなしており（図４（ｂ））、円筒形状とすることにより、ユーザが取っ手４２に手を掛けて開閉蓋１を閉じようとするときに、指が差し込まれてしまうのを防止している。阻止部材５４の左右方向両端部には、それぞれ支持軸５４ａ、５４ｂが軸方向を左右方向として設けられている。なお、阻止部材５４は、円筒形状だけでなく、ユーザの指が差し込まれてしまうのは防止するための形状であれば八角形筒等の多角形筒の形状であってもよい。   A blocking member 54 projects from the end edge 51 toward the front side (front opening / closing lid 41 side) at the center in the left-right direction at the front edge 51 of the rear opening / closing lid 31. The blocking member 54 has a cylindrical shape in which the portion protruding from the edge 51 has a longitudinal direction in the left-right direction (FIG. 4B), and the user holds the hand on the handle 42 by forming the cylindrical shape. It is prevented that a finger is inserted when trying to close the opening / closing lid 1 by hanging. Support shafts 54a and 54b are provided at both ends in the left-right direction of the blocking member 54, with the axial direction being the left-right direction. The blocking member 54 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a polygonal cylinder shape such as an octagonal cylinder as long as it prevents the user's finger from being inserted.

前部開閉蓋４１は、上パネル６１と下パネル６２とにより構成されている。下パネル６２の後側の左右方向両端部には、それぞれ張出部５２、５３が差し込まれる切欠部６３、６４が設けられている。切欠部６３、６４内には、それぞれ支持軸５２ａ、５３ａを軸受する軸受部６３ａ、６４ａが設けられている。下パネル６２の後側の左右方向中央部には、阻止部材５４が差し込まれる切欠部６５が設けられている。切欠部６５の左右両端部には支持軸５４ａ、５４ｂをそれぞれ軸受する軸受部６５ａ、６５ｂが設けられている。   The front opening / closing lid 41 includes an upper panel 61 and a lower panel 62. Notch portions 63 and 64 into which the overhang portions 52 and 53 are respectively inserted are provided at both left and right end portions on the rear side of the lower panel 62. Bearing portions 63a and 64a for bearing the support shafts 52a and 53a are provided in the notches 63 and 64, respectively. A notch 65 into which the blocking member 54 is inserted is provided at the center in the left-right direction on the rear side of the lower panel 62. Bearing portions 65a and 65b for bearing the support shafts 54a and 54b are provided at the left and right ends of the notch 65, respectively.

図５において図示していないが、上パネル６１の下面には軸受部６３ａ、６４ａ、６５ａ、６５ｂとそれぞれ対応する位置に当該各軸受部と同様の軸受部が形成されている。そして、上パネル６１と下パネル６２とを螺子留め等により固定したときには、下パネル６２の各軸受部６３ａ、６４ａ、６５ａ、６５ｂと、これに対応する上パネル６１の各軸受部とで、支持軸５２ａ、５３ａ、５４ａ、５４ｂをそれぞれ軸受する。   Although not shown in FIG. 5, on the lower surface of the upper panel 61, bearing portions similar to the respective bearing portions are formed at positions corresponding to the bearing portions 63a, 64a, 65a, and 65b, respectively. When the upper panel 61 and the lower panel 62 are fixed by screwing or the like, they are supported by the bearing portions 63a, 64a, 65a, 65b of the lower panel 62 and the corresponding bearing portions of the upper panel 61. The shafts 52a, 53a, 54a, and 54b are respectively bearings.

本実施形態では、このような構成により、後部開閉蓋３１と前部開閉蓋４１とを連結し、後部開閉蓋３１と前部開閉蓋４１とで開閉蓋１の２つ折り開きを可能とするヒンジ構造（第２ヒンジ部）を実現している。
すなわち、このヒンジ構造によって後部開閉蓋３１に対して前部開閉蓋４１を下側に回転することができる。また、図４（ｂ）に示すように、上パネル６１の後側の端縁６６が後部開閉蓋３１の前側の端縁５１と当たった状態で接するため、後部開閉蓋３１に対して前部開閉蓋４１を一定以上の上側に回転することはできない。 In the present embodiment, with such a configuration, the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the front opening / closing lid 41 are connected, and the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the front opening / closing lid 41 allow the opening / closing lid 1 to be folded in two. The structure (second hinge part) is realized.
That is, the front opening / closing lid 41 can be rotated downward with respect to the rear opening / closing lid 31 by this hinge structure. Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the rear edge 66 of the upper panel 61 is in contact with the front edge 51 of the rear opening / closing lid 31. The opening / closing lid 41 cannot be rotated upward beyond a certain level.

また、図５に示すように、阻止部材５４が後部開閉蓋３１の前側の端縁５１の左右方向中央部に設けられている。そして、取っ手４２は前部開閉蓋４１の後側の左右方向中央部に設けられている。そのため、阻止部材５４は取っ手４２の近傍に位置している。
図６は、洗濯機２の側面図である。この洗濯機２に、スタンド１０１を取り付け、そのスタンド１０１の上に乾燥機１０２を取り付けている。図６においては、開閉蓋１を２つ折りにして開いた状態を示している。 Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the blocking member 54 is provided at the center in the left-right direction of the front edge 51 of the rear opening / closing lid 31. The handle 42 is provided at the center in the left-right direction on the rear side of the front opening / closing lid 41. Therefore, the blocking member 54 is located in the vicinity of the handle 42.
FIG. 6 is a side view of the washing machine 2. A stand 101 is attached to the washing machine 2, and a dryer 102 is attached on the stand 101. FIG. 6 shows a state in which the opening / closing lid 1 is folded in half and opened.

図３に示すとおり、前方から見た開閉蓋１の長さＬのうち、後部開閉蓋３１の長さＬ１がその２分の１を超え、その分、前部開閉蓋４１の長さＬ２は短くなっている。このように後部開閉蓋３１の長さＬ１を長くしているが、図６に示すように、開閉蓋１を２つ折り開きにしたときに後部開閉蓋３１の先端は洗濯機２の上部に設けられた乾燥機１０２又は当該乾燥機１０２を支持しているスタンド１０１に達しない長さとしている（後部開閉蓋３１の先端が最も高い位置になったとき）。すなわち、後部開閉蓋３１が乾燥機１０２やスタンド１０１に当たらない限度で後部開閉蓋３１の長さＬ１を極力長くなるようにしている。   As shown in FIG. 3, the length L1 of the rear opening / closing lid 31 out of the length L of the opening / closing lid 1 viewed from the front exceeds half of that, and the length L2 of the front opening / closing lid 41 is accordingly It is getting shorter. In this way, the length L1 of the rear opening / closing lid 31 is increased. However, as shown in FIG. 6, when the opening / closing lid 1 is folded in two, the tip of the rear opening / closing lid 31 is provided at the top of the washing machine 2. The length of the dryer 102 or the stand 101 supporting the dryer 102 is not reached (when the tip of the rear opening / closing lid 31 is at the highest position). That is, the length L1 of the rear opening / closing lid 31 is made as long as possible as long as the rear opening / closing lid 31 does not hit the dryer 102 or the stand 101.

これにより、後部開閉蓋３１の表面を最大限広くすることができる。そのため、後部開閉蓋３１の表面に設けた一枚板のガラス板３４を最大限広くすることが可能となり、意匠性を向上させることができる。また、スタンド１０１は、複数段階（例えば、３段階）に高さ調節可能とする構成も可能である。この場合、スタンド１０１を設置可能な最上段の高さで取り付けたときに、後部開閉蓋３１が乾燥機１０２やスタンド１０１に当たらない限度で後部開閉蓋３１の長さＬ１を極力長くなるようすることで、後部開閉蓋３１の表面に設けた一枚板のガラス板３４を最大限広くすることが可能となり、意匠性を向上させることができる。   Thereby, the surface of the rear opening / closing lid 31 can be made as wide as possible. Therefore, it becomes possible to make the single glass plate 34 provided on the surface of the rear opening / closing lid 31 as wide as possible and to improve the design. Further, the stand 101 can be configured to be height adjustable in a plurality of stages (for example, three stages). In this case, the length L1 of the rear opening / closing lid 31 is made as long as possible so that the rear opening / closing lid 31 does not come into contact with the dryer 102 or the stand 101 when the stand 101 is installed at the highest height where it can be installed. Thus, the single glass plate 34 provided on the surface of the rear opening / closing lid 31 can be widened as much as possible, and the design can be improved.

図７は、開閉蓋１を２つ折りにした状態の後部開閉蓋３１であり、（ａ）は平面図、（ｂ）は前部開閉蓋４１の正面図である。図８は、図７（ａ）のＤ−Ｄ切断縦断面図であり、（ａ）は全体図、（ｂ）は（ａ）のＥ部分の拡大図である。
図７、図８に示すように、開閉蓋１を２つ折りにした状態では、取っ手４２の近傍に前部開閉蓋４１と後部開閉蓋３１との間の空隙７１が生じる。そして、ユーザが取っ手４２に手を掛けて開閉蓋１を閉じようとすると、空隙７１に指が差し込まれてしまう恐れがある。 FIG. 7 shows the rear opening / closing lid 31 in a state where the opening / closing lid 1 is folded in half. FIG. 7A is a plan view, and FIG. 7B is a front view of the front opening / closing lid 41. 8 is a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. 7A, FIG. 8A is an overall view, and FIG. 8B is an enlarged view of a portion E in FIG.
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, when the opening / closing lid 1 is folded in half, a gap 71 between the front opening / closing lid 41 and the rear opening / closing lid 31 is formed in the vicinity of the handle 42. When the user puts his hand on the handle 42 and tries to close the open / close lid 1, his / her finger may be inserted into the gap 71.

これに対して、阻止部材５４は後部開閉蓋３１の前側の端縁５１から前側に延び出していて、図８（ｂ）に示すように空隙７１を塞ぐ。そのため、阻止部材５４は、後部開閉蓋３１と前部開閉蓋４１との間で取っ手４２の近傍において指の差し込みを阻止することができる。
また、阻止部材５４が空隙７１を塞ぎ、阻止部材５４は容易に拭き取り掃除等ができるので、開閉蓋１の清掃性を向上させることができる。 On the other hand, the blocking member 54 extends forward from the front edge 51 of the rear opening / closing lid 31, and closes the gap 71 as shown in FIG. Therefore, the blocking member 54 can block the insertion of a finger in the vicinity of the handle 42 between the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the front opening / closing lid 41.
Further, since the blocking member 54 closes the gap 71 and the blocking member 54 can be easily wiped and cleaned, the cleanability of the open / close lid 1 can be improved.

さらに、図４（ｂ）（ｃ）に示す係止部３５，３６は、鉤型をしていて、本体パネル３２に一体になっているため、一般的な金型を使って本体パネル３２を成形することは、係止部３５，３６部分の型抜きが困難となる。
そこで、本体パネル３２を金型で成形するためには、係止部３５，３６の鉤型部分の内部を成形する金型部分を他の部分を成形する金型と別体として、前者を後者からスライド移動して型抜きできるようにしたスライド金型構造を採用するようにすれば、係止部３５，３６部分の型抜きも容易となる。 Furthermore, since the locking portions 35 and 36 shown in FIGS. 4B and 4C are bowl-shaped and integrated with the main body panel 32, the main body panel 32 is attached using a general mold. Molding makes it difficult to remove the locking portions 35 and 36.
Therefore, in order to mold the main body panel 32 with a mold, the mold part for molding the inside of the hook part of the locking portions 35 and 36 is separated from the mold for molding the other part, and the former is the latter. By adopting a slide mold structure that can be slid and removed from the mold, it is easy to mold the locking portions 35 and 36.

また、阻止部材５４は、係止部３５の全周に沿って設けられているわけではなく、係止部３５の中心部分を含む一部の周に沿ってのみ設けられている。これは、係止部３５が、直線的形状ではなく、意匠性を確保するために、略円弧形状である一方、コスト等の観点から阻止部材５４は直線的形状としているためである。これにより、意匠性を向上させるとともに、使用者の指の差し込みを阻止することができる。   Further, the blocking member 54 is not provided along the entire circumference of the locking portion 35, but is provided only along a part of the circumference including the central portion of the locking portion 35. This is because the locking portion 35 is not a linear shape, but has a substantially arc shape in order to ensure designability, while the blocking member 54 has a linear shape from the viewpoint of cost and the like. Thereby, while improving designability, insertion of a user's finger | toe can be blocked | prevented.

次に、本実施例においては前述の通り意匠性を高めるために、開閉蓋１にガラス板３４が形成されているため、従来の開閉蓋と比較し重量が重くなっている。そのため、顧客使用時のふたの倒れ防止のために、開閉蓋１とトップカバー４との間に係合形状を設け、ふた倒れ時に係合部にてストッパーとなり固定される構造としている。   Next, in the present embodiment, as described above, the glass plate 34 is formed on the opening / closing lid 1 in order to improve the design, so that the weight is heavier than the conventional opening / closing lid. Therefore, in order to prevent the lid from collapsing when used by a customer, an engagement shape is provided between the opening / closing lid 1 and the top cover 4, and the lid is fixed as a stopper at the engagement portion when the lid is collapsed.

図９に開閉蓋の概略図を示す。（ａ）はＧ部分の拡大図であり、（ｂ）はＦ−Ｆ切断縦断面図を示す。後部開閉蓋３１と係止部３６に挟み込まれて係合部材３２が取り付けられている。Ｐ方向から外力が加えられると、係合部材３２と後部開閉蓋３１の間に挟まれている弾性体３３が伸縮することにより、係合部材３２がＨ方向に伸縮する構造となっている。   FIG. 9 shows a schematic view of the opening / closing lid. (A) is an enlarged view of G part, (b) shows a FF cut longitudinal cross-sectional view. An engaging member 32 is attached between the rear opening / closing lid 31 and the locking portion 36. When an external force is applied from the P direction, the elastic member 33 sandwiched between the engaging member 32 and the rear opening / closing lid 31 expands and contracts, so that the engaging member 32 expands and contracts in the H direction.

図２は当該蓋１が本体に取りついた状態、かつ、開閉蓋１が開いた状態となっており、図２のＪ部の拡大図について図１０に図示する。トップカバー４に開閉蓋１と係合する係合部４ａを設けており、この係合部４ａと開閉蓋の係合部材３２が係合することにより、ふたがストッパーになり固定される構造となっている。なお、開閉蓋１がストッパーにて固定されている状態を図１１に示す。   FIG. 2 shows a state in which the lid 1 is attached to the main body and the state in which the opening / closing lid 1 is opened. FIG. 10 shows an enlarged view of a portion J in FIG. The top cover 4 is provided with an engagement portion 4a that engages with the opening / closing lid 1, and the engagement portion 4a engages with the engagement member 32 of the opening / closing lid so that the lid becomes a stopper and is fixed. It has become. FIG. 11 shows a state in which the opening / closing lid 1 is fixed by a stopper.

係合構造について図１２に示す。図１２（ａ）は図１０のＫ−Ｋ切断縦断面図を示す。図１２（ｂ）は係合時の当該形状部を示す。開閉蓋を全開状態にすると、開閉蓋に設けている係合部材３２が弾性体３３によりＨ方向に押される。ここで、係合部材３２は第１の略凸形状を有し、トップカバー係合部４ａは第２の略凸形状を有する。弾性体３３により係合部材３２の第１の略凸形状もＨ方向に押される(図１２（ａ）)。この状態から開閉蓋が閉状態に向かうと、係合部材３２は第１の略凸形状がトップカバー係合部４ａの第２の略凸形状に当接し、このとき、Ｈ方向とは反対方向に係合部材３２の第１の略凸形状は押される（図１２（ｂ））。このように、係合部材３２は第１の略凸形状がトップカバー係合部４ａの第２の略凸形状に当接し、弾性体３３の反発力により、係合部材３２がトップカバー係合部４ａと係合し、開閉蓋１が固定される。   The engagement structure is shown in FIG. FIG. 12A shows a longitudinal sectional view taken along the line KK of FIG. FIG.12 (b) shows the said shape part at the time of engagement. When the opening / closing lid is fully opened, the engaging member 32 provided on the opening / closing lid is pushed in the H direction by the elastic body 33. Here, the engaging member 32 has a first substantially convex shape, and the top cover engaging portion 4a has a second substantially convex shape. The first substantially convex shape of the engaging member 32 is also pushed in the H direction by the elastic body 33 (FIG. 12A). When the opening / closing lid is closed from this state, the first substantially convex shape of the engaging member 32 comes into contact with the second substantially convex shape of the top cover engaging portion 4a. At this time, the direction opposite to the H direction Thus, the first substantially convex shape of the engaging member 32 is pushed (FIG. 12B). Thus, the engaging member 32 has the first substantially convex shape abuts on the second substantially convex shape of the top cover engaging portion 4a, and the repulsive force of the elastic body 33 causes the engaging member 32 to engage with the top cover. The opening / closing lid 1 is fixed by engaging with the portion 4a.
