The decorative plate 69 is engaged with the detergent charging portion 64 by the claw portions 70 and 71, and the box 68 is engaged with the engagement hole 82 formed on the back surface of the decorative plate 69 and at the same time. A fastening part 72 is integrally formed on the decorative plate 69, and the fastening part 72 is sandwiched between a vertical boss part 73 and a detergent charging part 64 provided integrally with a lower part of the box 68, and a small screw is provided from below. Fastened with (screw) 80.

以上のように構成されたドラム式洗濯機において、以下その動作、作用を説明する。   The operation and action of the drum type washing machine configured as described above will be described below.

まず使用者が洗剤を入れるために洗剤投入ケース５３を引き出す時、洗剤投入ケース５３が洗濯機本体５０の前面上部に位置する為に、高さ関係からして手のひらを下に向けて手を伸ばすのが自然な動作であり、その動作の延長線上になだらかな傾斜状に形成した傾斜部６７が形成され、さらに上方に開口した箱体６８に自然に手が掛かり、結果として自然な動作で洗剤投入ケース５３を引き出すことができる。   First, when the user pulls out the detergent charging case 53 to put the detergent, the detergent charging case 53 is located at the upper front of the washing machine body 50. This is a natural motion, and an inclined portion 67 formed in a gentle slope is formed on the extended line of the motion, and the box 68 opened upward is naturally caught by hands, resulting in a natural motion and detergent. The charging case 53 can be pulled out.

さらに例えば、使用者が洗剤投入ケース５３を収納部６５に中途半端に収納し、前部枠体５１から洗剤投入ケース５３から突出した状態で運転開始した場合は、給水弁６３による注水中に洗剤投入ケース５３から洗濯機本体５０外に水漏れしたり、回転ドラム５７の高速回転中に異音が生じたりする危険性が高まるが、本実施の形態によれば洗剤投入ケース５３の前面は、収納状態で前部枠体５１の前面と面一を成すように構成しているので、洗剤投入ケース５３の前面がずれていると視覚的に容易に認知でき、正しく挿入し直しが可能となり洗剤投入ケース５３の収納不完全による水漏れ、異音発生を未然に防ぐ事ができる。   Further, for example, when the user stores the detergent charging case 53 halfway in the storage portion 65 and starts operation with the detergent protruding case 53 protruding from the front frame 51, the detergent is poured into the water supply valve 63. Although there is an increased risk of water leaking out of the washing machine main body 50 from the charging case 53 and abnormal noise occurring during the high speed rotation of the rotary drum 57, according to the present embodiment, the front surface of the detergent charging case 53 is Since it is configured so as to be flush with the front surface of the front frame 51 in the stored state, it can be easily recognized visually if the front surface of the detergent charging case 53 is displaced, and can be reinserted correctly. Water leakage and abnormal noise due to incomplete storage of the charging case 53 can be prevented in advance.

また洗剤投入ケース５３を配置した前面は、上向き傾斜面に設けられた開口部５８を開閉する扉５９等と共に、上方に後退する傾斜面となっている。   The front surface on which the detergent charging case 53 is arranged is an inclined surface that recedes upward together with a door 59 that opens and closes an opening 58 provided on the upward inclined surface.

そして指が掛けられる傾斜部６７を洗濯機本体５０の前面上部の天面を成す領域に配置し、洗濯機本体５０の前面からは目立たない位置にしている。よって洗剤投入ケース５３を引き出す為の手掛けを本体前面部に設ける必要が無いので、本体前面の分割ラインも減らすことができ、デザイン性の向上が図れる。   The inclined portion 67 on which the finger is hung is disposed in a region that forms the top surface of the front upper portion of the washing machine main body 50, and is not conspicuous from the front surface of the washing machine main body 50. Therefore, there is no need to provide a handle for pulling out the detergent charging case 53 on the front surface of the main body, so that the dividing lines on the front surface of the main body can be reduced, and the design can be improved.

ここで、傾斜部６７が、洗濯機本体５０の前面からは目立たない位置にあると言うことは、例えば目線が低くなる車椅子の使用者や、暗い場所で使用する使用者にとっては、傾斜部６７が直接見えない位置になる。 しかし、傾斜部６７に対応した位置に上方に開口した箱体６８を設けたことにより、使用者が手を掛けるべき範囲を手探りで、認識でき使
い易いものとなる。 Here, the fact that the inclined portion 67 is in an inconspicuous position from the front surface of the washing machine main body 50 means that the inclined portion 67 is used for a wheelchair user whose line of sight is low or a user who is used in a dark place. Will be directly invisible. However, by providing the box body 68 that opens upward at a position corresponding to the inclined portion 67, the user should be able to recognize and easily use the range to be handled.

また、洗剤投入ケース５３は主に、洗濯機本体５０の前面側の一部を傾斜面状に形成する化粧板６９と、洗剤投入部６４および使用者の指を係着させる箱体６８との３部材で構成され、いずれの部材もプラスチック樹脂成形品で別部材として製作することにより、各部材を簡略化して加工することができる。   The detergent charging case 53 is mainly composed of a decorative plate 69 that forms a part of the front side of the washing machine body 50 in an inclined surface, and a box 68 for engaging the detergent charging portion 64 and the user's finger. Each member is made of a plastic resin molded product, and each member can be processed in a simplified manner.

洗剤投入ケース５３は、毎回必ず使用者が操作し負荷が加わるので、化粧版６９と洗剤投入部６４および箱体６８の結合は、ツメ部７０、７１などで結合されるが、ツメ勘合だけでは使用している内にガタが生じるといった強度的な課題があるが、化粧版６９の締結部７２が、洗剤投入部６４および箱体６８の両者で挟まれて小ネジ８０で共締めされる構成をとることにより、繰り返し使用に耐えられる強固な結合を得ることができる。   Since the detergent input case 53 is always operated by the user and a load is applied, the decorative plate 69, the detergent input part 64, and the box 68 are connected by the claw parts 70, 71, etc. Although there is a strong problem that looseness occurs during use, the fastening portion 72 of the decorative plate 69 is sandwiched between both the detergent charging portion 64 and the box body 68 and is fastened together with the small screw 80. By taking this, a strong bond that can withstand repeated use can be obtained.

ここで、箱体６８にボス部７３を形成すると、箱体６８は洗濯機本体５０の前面とは分離され大きさも小さくて済むので、真下方向にボス部７３をスライド抜きで容易に構成できる。また化粧版６９の締結部７２もスライド抜き範囲が小さく済み容易に構成できる。   Here, if the boss 73 is formed on the box 68, the box 68 is separated from the front surface of the washing machine main body 50, and the size of the box 68 is small, so that the boss 73 can be easily configured by sliding it downward. Further, the fastening portion 72 of the decorative plate 69 can be easily configured with a small slide removal range.

すなわち、洗剤ケース５３を、化粧板６９と、洗剤投入部６４および箱体６８の３つの部材に分けて構成し、比較的小型部材である箱体６８に大きい構成の金型スライドによるボス部７３を形成し、やや形状の大きい部材である化粧板６９には樹脂成形の金型上アンダーカットとなる締結部７２を形成したのでスライド範囲が少なくてすみ、部材加工上非常に簡単なものとなる。   That is, the detergent case 53 is divided into three members, a decorative plate 69, a detergent charging part 64, and a box 68, and a boss 73 formed by a mold slide having a large structure on the box 68 which is a relatively small member. The decorative plate 69, which is a member having a slightly larger shape, is formed with a fastening portion 72 that is an undercut on the resin-molded mold, so that the sliding range is small and the processing of the member is very simple. .

また、洗剤投入ケース５３を収納する際には、指が掛かる隙間を確保した傾斜部６７の範囲外に指を掛けて収納しようとすれば、当然、収納部６５との間で指を挟むことになる。しかし、箱体６８の後壁７４及び側壁７５によって使用者が手を掛けるべき範囲が限定され、手探り状態で箱体６８の中に手を伸ばしても、収納部６５との間で指を挟むと言った不慮の事態を未然に防止できるという効果も得られる。   Further, when the detergent charging case 53 is stored, if a finger is placed outside the range of the inclined portion 67 that secures a clearance for the finger, the finger is naturally sandwiched between the storage portion 65. become. However, the range in which the user should reach his / her hand is limited by the rear wall 74 and the side wall 75 of the box body 68, and even if the hand is reached into the box body 68 in a groping state, a finger is sandwiched between the storage unit 65. It is also possible to prevent the unexpected situation.

即ち、洗剤投入ケース５３を収納した状態で、化粧版６９の裏面側に傾斜部６７に対応した上方に開口した箱体６８を設けたことで、洗剤投入ケース５３を収納時に収納部６５との間で指を挟むといった不慮の事態を防ぐ事ができる。   That is, in the state in which the detergent charging case 53 is stored, a box 68 opened upward corresponding to the inclined portion 67 is provided on the back surface side of the decorative plate 69, so that the detergent charging case 53 can be connected to the storage unit 65 when stored. It is possible to prevent unforeseen situations such as pinching your fingers between them.

また、洗剤投入ケース５３の収納状態では、化粧版６９が前部枠体５１と面一となり易いように、箱体６８と傾斜部６７との間には隙間を設けなければならないが、箱体の後壁７４の上端面８３が傾斜部６７表面より突出していると、後壁上端面に使用者の爪が当るだけでなく、使用者の爪がこの隙間に入り込んでしまい痛い思いをする恐れもある。しかしながら、指が挿入される箱体６８の後壁７４の上端面８３は、天板部５４の傾斜部６７に連なるように、かつ傾斜部６７より上方に飛び出さないように傾斜部６７によって覆われる構成としているので、使用者は指を傾斜部６７に沿って箱体６８に挿入した場合でも、爪が後壁７４の上端面８３に引っ掛かかることなく後壁７４内方へ指を滑らせていくことができ、箱体６８の前壁８４に掛けて違和感無く洗剤投入ケースを引き出すことができる。   Further, in the storage state of the detergent charging case 53, a gap must be provided between the box body 68 and the inclined portion 67 so that the decorative plate 69 is easily flush with the front frame body 51. If the upper end surface 83 of the rear wall 74 protrudes from the surface of the inclined portion 67, the user's nails may not only hit the upper end surface of the rear wall, but the user's nails may enter this gap and feel painful. There is also. However, the upper end surface 83 of the rear wall 74 of the box body 68 into which the finger is inserted is covered by the inclined portion 67 so as to be continuous with the inclined portion 67 of the top plate portion 54 and not to protrude above the inclined portion 67. Therefore, even when the user inserts his / her finger into the box body 68 along the inclined portion 67, the finger slides inward of the rear wall 74 without being caught by the upper end surface 83 of the rear wall 74. The detergent charging case can be pulled out without a sense of incongruity by hanging on the front wall 84 of the box 68.

以上のように、本発明にかかるドラム式洗濯機は、洗剤投入ケースは収納状態において前記洗剤投入ケースの前方上部に指を入れる開口部を略上方に向けて開口させた事により、洗剤投入ケースを引き出す時、上方に開口した箱体に自然に手が掛かり自然な動作で洗剤投入ケースが引き出せ、また分割ラインも減らせるのでデザイン性の向上が図れ、さらに手を掛けるべき範囲が手探りでも認識できるので使い勝手が向上する上に、洗剤投入ケ
ースを収納する際に収納部との間で指を挟むといった不慮の事態を未然に防止できるので洗濯機分野で有用である。 As described above, the drum-type washing machine according to the present invention, by detergent case that toward the substantially upward to open the opening to put a finger on the upper front portion of the detergent input case in the accommodated state, detergent case When pulling out the product, the box that opens upwards can be handled naturally, and the detergent case can be pulled out with natural movement, and the number of dividing lines can be reduced, improving the design and recognizing the range to be handled by groping Therefore, it is useful in the field of washing machines because it improves usability and prevents an unexpected situation such as a finger being caught between the storage case when storing the detergent case.
