washing machine

Abstract

The washing machine of the present invention has a main body of the washing machine, an inner tank, and an upper outer profile (3), and is equipped with: an operation panel (8), which is arranged on the upper outer profile (3); an operating substrate (9); a protective shell (13), which The protection operation board (9); the accommodation part (5), which houses the protective case (13), has a bottom (5a); and the waterproof part, which is used for waterproofing the operation board (9). And, waterproof part has following structure, promptly, has the drain hole (18) that has stopper part (17a) and the bottom (5a) that is arranged on accommodating part (5), and the opening area of ​​drain hole (18) is larger than that formed in stopper part ( 17a) Area of ​​the gap. Accordingly, it is possible to realize a highly reliable washing machine that prevents erroneous display and erroneous operation by waterproofing the operation board (9).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a washing machine having an operation unit such as an operation panel as part of the outer casing. Background technique [0002] In the past, a washing machine generally has: a washing and dehydrating tank (hereinafter referred to as "inner tank") for washing and dehydrating inside the body; On the outer shell of the body near the inlet for taking out (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, the washing machine having the above-mentioned structure is sometimes installed outdoors due to the limitation of the living environment. [0003] Below, use Figure 9 to Figure 12 The configuration of the conventional washing machine described in Patent Document 1 will be described. [0004] Figure 9 It is a side sectional view of a conventional washing machine. Figure 10 It is an exploded explanatory drawing of a conventional washing machine. Figure 11 It is a sectional view of main parts around the operatin...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0019] However, in the structure of the conventional washing machine, when the gap between the operation panel 109 and the abutting portion 117 of the accommodating portion 106 becomes large due to processing deviations of components, etc., the amount of water flowing into the accommodating portion 106 increases, making it difficult to reliably Waterproofing of the operating substrate 105

[0020] In addition, if the opening area of ​​the drain hole 118 is set too large in consideration of the amount of water flowing into the housing portion 106 due to component deviation, foreign matter such as insects will easily invade the housing portion 106 area.

As a result, there is a problem that the circuit of the operation board 105 is short-circuited due to intruded foreign matter, etc., causing wrong display and wrong operation.
