technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine (for example, a washing machine, a laundry dryer, a drying and washing machine, etc.), and more particularly, to a cover forming an appearance of the washing machine. Background technique

[0002] Typically, the cover forming the exterior of the washing machine is formed of steel. And, the cover undergoes a stretching process to form a proper shape, and then undergoes a coating process for preventing corrosion.

[0003] Recently, there is a demand for washing machines to have a metallic appearance. However, when a cover formed of steel is directly used without performing a coating process, the cover may be easily corroded. Thus, it is necessary to use a cover formed of another material instead of steel.

Embodiment Construction

[0027] Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Hereinafter, a washing machine according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. figure 1 is a schematic diagram showing a washing machine according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] refer to figure 1 , the washing machine according to the present invention comprises a cover 20, 30, 61, 70 forming an appearance and a burr guard 81, 82, 83, 84, 85 (see figure 2 and Figure 6).

[0030] Each cover 20, 30, 61, 70 is formed of stainless steel, thereby having an excellent appearance and not being corroded despite frequent contact with water.

[0031] Meanwhile, due to the work-hardening characteristics of stainless steel (in particular, when the cover is formed in a complicated shape or when the front surface of the washing machine is integrated with its side, the cov...
