Problems solved by technology

However, there arises a problem that since the weight of the operation panel is applied to the front cover, the weight of the front cover becomes large, and the operation force required for opening the washing cover also increases.
In addition, when closing the washing cover, the washing cover closes heavily due to its own weight, resulting in a greater impact.

Abstract

The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems that dead weight is large since an operation panel is provided on the upper surface door of a washing machine, door opening force is heavy and the door is suddenly closed at the time of closing it. A torsion spring 47 is provided on the intermediate fulcrum 4 of front and back doors 2 and 3, the spring force is energized in the direction of opening the door and the dead weight is supported. Further, an elastic support means 22 for energizing the end of a door in an opening direction and a load resistance addition means at the intermediate fulcrum for lowering a speed at the time of closing the door and achieving soft closing are included.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a switch door of a washing machine. Background technique [0002] There is known a washing machine having an outer case (side frame) with a washing tank inside, and a top cover (upper cover) placed and fixed on the top (for example, refer to Japanese Patent Laying-Open Publication No. 5-168794 (No. 2 page, Fig. 1)). In this washing machine, a laundry inlet and outlet (washing inlet) communicating with the laundry tub is provided on the top cover, and a recess connected to the laundry inlet and outlet is formed on the front part. In addition, it has a washing cover that is supported on the top cover and covers the laundry inlet and outlet and the recess freely, and an operation panel is provided in front of the washing cover. The washing cover is composed of two parts, the front cover and the rear cover, and the two parts are connected to each other freely at the middle fulcrum. By bending the middle fulcrum into a mountain-sh...
