Description

technical field [0001] The present invention mainly relates to a washing machine suitable for domestic use. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, a vertical washing machine has a configuration in which a cylindrical outer tub and an inner tub are disposed inside a rectangular cabinet in plan view. The casing is provided with a fixed cover as an upper surface plate fixed to the upper surface of the casing, and a movable cover as an upper cover movably provided with respect to the fixed cover. The movable lid opens and closes to open the opening of the inner tub. [0003] In this way, when the cabinet has a rectangular shape in plan view with respect to the outer tub, in order to arrange it close to the wall surface of the residence where the cabinet is placed, the upper surface of the fixed cover as the upper surface plate of the cabinet is Water supply department must be installed. Therefore, since the portion treated as the upper surface plate increases, even if ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, since the portion treated as the upper surface plate increases, even if the movable cover as the upper cover is opened, the opening of the circular inner tub cannot be opened as a whole with respect to the rectangular opening, so the route of putting in and taking out the laundry The part will be narrowed, it is inconvenient to put in and take out

Moreover, when the washing machine is peeped from above, the entire interior of the cylindrical inner tub cannot be seen, and there is a blind spot where the washing condition cannot be seen.
