Laundry treating apparatus

Abstract

A laundry treating apparatus may include a main body having a laundry inlet port on the front panel; a laundry accommodating part which is arranged in the main body and is used for accommodating laundry; and a door rotatably provided on the front surface of the main body so as to open and close the laundry inlet port. The door may include an outer frame provided with an opening and facing an outside of the main body; front glass coupled to a front surface of the outer frame to cover the opening; an inner frame coupled to a rear surface of the outer frame and facing an inside of the main body;and a plurality of hooks used for fastening the outer frame and the inner frame, whereby an increase in fastening force between the outer frame and the inner frame can be expected.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a laundry treating device having a hook fastening structure between an outer frame and an inner frame of a door. Background technique [0002] Generally, laundry treating devices include devices having a function of washing or drying laundry. In addition, the laundry processing apparatus may be configured to have both a laundry washing function and a drying function. [0003] The clothes processing device includes a main body provided with a clothes inlet, a door configured to open and close the clothes inlet, and a clothes storage unit provided inside the main body. [0004] The door may include a door frame, a front glass attached to a front surface of the door frame, and a door window installed to the door frame and protruding through the laundry input port. [0005] The door frame may be composed of an outer frame and an inner frame, the outer frame is arranged to face the outside of the main body and the inner fr...

Problems solved by technology

[0015] However, in the case of screwing between the outer frame and the inner frame, in order to increase the fastening force between the outer frame and the inner frame, it is necessary to increase the number of fastening holes and bolts, so there is a problem depending on the number of work processes and the work time. The problem of rising costs due to the increase

[0016] In addition, when the fastening holes between the outer frame and the inner frame do not coincide with each other, fastening cannot be performed, so there is a need for rework due to the generation of defective parts, or waste of materials due to the discarding of defective parts. cost problem

[0017] On the other hand, in the case where the outer frame and the inner frame are combined with a hook structure, it is possible to eliminate the problems caused by the threaded combination, but the simple hook combination between the outer frame and the inner frame is not improved for support. The fastening force is limited by the weight of the glass

[0018] For example, since the hook joint between the outer frame and the inner frame cannot bear the weight of the front glass, the hook joint of the outer frame or the hook of the inner frame is deformed in the direction of gravity, so that the hook joint may be released

[0019] Therefore, the outer frame and the inner frame are separated from each other, thereby causing damage to the door, and a front glass breakage phenomenon may occur in the case where the front glass is detached from the door frame

[0020] In addition, when the outer frame and the inner frame are bonded by adhesive or the like, there is a problem that the assembly between the outer frame and the inner frame and the application of the adhesive become difficult.

[0021] For example, in order to apply an adhesive, it is necessary to carry out the application work in a state where the outer frame and the inner frame are temporarily assembled to each other, and therefore, there is a need to first perform hook bonding or bolt bonding for the temporary assembly, and when the adhesive is applied Difficulty in applying adhesive evenly between outer frame and inner frame when compounding

[0022] In addition, after the adhesive is applied, there may also be a problem that the adhesive flows downward from between the outer frame and the inner frame due to gravity

[0023] Also, after the adhesive is applied, time for drying the adhesive is required, so there is a problem that the manufacturing time is prolonged
