Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] (Findings etc. on which the present disclosure is based) When the inventors arrived at the present disclosure, the washing machine was being packed and shipped, transported, etc. Here, generally, it is desirable that the object to be packed, the package, maintains its state at the time of packing, and it is desired that its posture at the time of packing is maintained. In particular, in the case of equipment such as a washing machine, it may be stacked and stored due to storage space considerations, and the need to maintain its posture is great. However, conventionally, the inventors have found that insufficient consideration has been given to the inclination of the posture due to the uneven load distribution of the washing machine, and the posture of the packed washing machine is likely to tilt. In order to solve this problem, the inventors have arrived at the subject matter of the present disclosure. Therefore, the present disclosure provides a package including a washing machine packed in a state where it is easily maintained in a predetermined posture, and a packing device capable of packing the washing machine in a state where it is easily maintained in a predetermined posture.

[0034] [1 - 1 - 5. Configuration of the First Support Member] FIG. 8 is a developed view of the first support member 80 in Embodiment 1. The first support member 80 is composed of a single piece of cardboard. This single piece of cardboard has a line-symmetric shape with respect to the symmetry line L1. In the description of FIG. 8, the direction in which the symmetry line L1 extends is described as the vertical direction. Also, the direction orthogonal to the symmetry line L1 is described as the horizontal direction.

[0035] The first support member 80 has a rectangular bottom surface portion 81. On one side in the vertical direction of the bottom surface portion 81, a substantially rectangular outer peripheral outer surface portion 82a is formed. On one side in the vertical direction of the outer peripheral outer surface portion 82a, a rectangular outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b is formed. Similarly, on one side in the vertical direction of the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b, an outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c, an inner peripheral bottom surface portion 82d, an inner peripheral outer surface portion 82e, an inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f, and an inner peripheral inner surface portion 82g are formed in this order.

[0036] The outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c, the inner peripheral bottom surface portion 82d, the inner peripheral outer surface portion 82e, the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f, and the inner peripheral inner surface portion 82g are each formed in a rectangular shape.

[0037] On the other side in the vertical direction of the bottom surface portion 81, a substantially rectangular standing wall surface portion 83 is formed. On the other side in the vertical direction of the standing wall surface portion 83, an opposing surface portion 84 is formed. The respective boundary portions of the bottom surface portion 81, the standing wall surface portion 83, and the opposing surface portion 84 constitute folding lines.

[0038] Here, on the bottom surface portion 81, a substantially L-shaped raised piece portion 85 is formed. A pair of the raised piece portions 85 are formed in the horizontal direction. The raised piece portion 85 is formed by a folded portion 85a formed on the outer side in the horizontal direction (the side separated from the symmetry line L1) and punching portions 85b extending from both ends of the folded portion 85a. The raised piece portion 85 has an upright portion 85c that stands up with the folded portion 85a as a base end, and a claw portion 85d formed at the tip of the upright portion 85c and protruding from the upright portion 85c to one side in the vertical direction.

[0039] On the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b, an opening-shaped engagement hole 82b1 is formed. A pair of engagement holes 82b1 are formed in the lateral direction of the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b. The engagement holes 82b1 are formed throughout the longitudinal direction of the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b. On the outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c, an opening-shaped partial engagement hole (first engagement hole) 82c1 is formed. A pair of partial engagement holes 82c1 are formed in the lateral direction of the outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c. The partial engagement holes 82c1 are formed corresponding to the lateral position of the raised piece portion 85. The partial engagement holes 82c1 are formed biased toward the fold on the side of the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b.

[0040] On the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f, an opening-shaped engagement hole 82f1 is formed. A pair of engagement holes 82f1 are formed in the lateral direction of the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f. The engagement holes 82f1 are formed throughout the longitudinal direction of the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f. The engagement holes 82f1 are formed corresponding to the position of the engagement holes 82b1 on the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b. On the inner peripheral inner surface portion 82g, an opening-shaped partial engagement hole (first engagement hole) 82g1 is formed. A pair of partial engagement holes 82g1 are formed in the lateral direction. The partial engagement holes 82g1 are formed corresponding to the position of the partial engagement holes 82c1 on the outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c. The partial engagement holes 82g1 are formed biased toward the fold on the side of the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f.

[0041] On the opposing surface portion 84, a raised pushing-in portion 84a is formed. The pushing-in portion 84a is rectangular. A pair of partial engagement holes 82g1 are formed in the lateral direction. The pushing-in portion 84a has a folded portion on the outer side in the lateral direction. The pushing-in portion 84a is formed corresponding to the positions of the engagement holes 82b1, 82f1.

[0042] Also, at both lateral ends of the bottom surface portion 81, extension portions 86a are formed as portions that are longer than each of the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b, the outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c, the inner peripheral bottom surface portion 82d, the inner peripheral outer surface portion 82e, the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f, and the inner peripheral inner surface portion 82g. Also, at both lateral ends of the outer peripheral outer surface portion 82a, protruding portions 86b that protrude outward in the lateral direction according to the extension amount of the extension portions 86a are formed. The protruding portions 86b are formed continuously in the longitudinal direction of the extension portions 86a. Furthermore, at both lateral ends of the vertical wall surface portion 83, protruding portions 86c that protrude laterally outward according to the amount of extension of the extension portion 86a are formed. The protruding portions 86c are formed continuously in the vertical direction of the extension portion 86a. Also, at both lateral ends of the opposing surface portion 84, upper protruding portions 87 that protrude laterally outward according to the amount of extension of the extension portion 86a are formed. The upper protruding portions 87 are formed at the other vertical end of the opposing surface portion 84.

[0043] [1-1-6. Configuration Regarding Assembly of the First Support Member] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a method for assembling the first support member 80 in Embodiment 1. The first support member 80 is wound from the unfolded state toward the bottom surface portion 81 side in order from the inner peripheral inner surface portion 82g by folding it by 90 degrees at each fold line portion. Thereby, the double-layered multiple winding portion 82 is formed. That is, in the multiple winding portion 82, the outer peripheral outer surface portion 82a and the inner peripheral outer surface portion 82e overlap (see FIG. 13). Also, the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b and the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f overlap (see FIG. 13), the outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c and the inner peripheral inner surface portion 82g overlap (see FIG. 13), and it is wound so that the bottom surface portion 81 and the inner peripheral bottom surface portion 82d overlap (see FIG. 13).

[0044] At this time, the position of the partial engagement hole 82c1 of the outer peripheral inner surface portion 82c and the position of the partial engagement hole 82g1 of the inner peripheral inner surface portion 82g substantially coincide. In this state, when the raised piece portion 85 is raised, the claw portion 85d of the raised piece portion 85 enters the partial engagement holes 82c1 and 82g1. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the multiple winding portion 82 to be restored to the unfolded state due to the stiffness of the cardboard. Also, the multiple winding portion 82 can be reinforced by the raised piece portion 85.

[0045] Here, since the raised piece portion 85 is formed such that the folded portion 85a is raised outward, for example, by hooking hands on both longitudinal ends of the bottom surface portion 81 and pushing the raised piece portion 85 with the thumb, the raised piece portion 85 can be easily raised and engaged with the partial engagement holes 82c1 and 82g1.

[0046] Next, the vertical wall surface portion 83 is folded at the fold portion by 90 degrees. At this time, on the bottom surface portion 81 side, the protruding portion 86b and the protruding portion 86c face each other, and the bottom side positioning portion 86 is formed.

[0047] Next, the opposing surface portion 84 is folded at the fold portion by 90 degrees. At this time, the position of the pushing portion 84a substantially coincides with the position of the engaging hole 82b1 of the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b and the position of the engaging hole 82f1 of the inner peripheral upper surface portion 82f. In this state, when the pushing portion 84a is pushed in, the pushing portion 84a enters the engaging holes 82b1 and 82f1 and engages with the multi-wound portion 82. Therefore, it becomes difficult for the outer peripheral upper surface portion 82b to be restored to the unfolded state due to the stiffness of the cardboard. Also, the multi-wound portion 82 can be reinforced by the pushing portion 84a.

[0048] As a result, since the opposing surface portion 84 is supported by the bottom surface portion 81 via the multi-wound portion 82, the distance between the opposing surface portion 84 and the bottom surface portion 81 is easily maintained at a predetermined distance. In this way, the first support member 80 can be assembled.

[0049] [1-1-7. Configuration of the Second Support Member] FIG. 10 is a development view of the second support member 90 in Embodiment 1. The second support member 90 is composed of a single piece of cardboard. This single piece of cardboard has a line-symmetric shape with respect to the symmetry line L2. In the description of FIG. 10, the direction in which the symmetry line L2 extends is described as the vertical direction. Also, the direction orthogonal to the symmetry line L2 is described as the horizontal direction.

[0050] The second support member 90 has a substantially rectangular bottom surface portion 91. The bottom surface portion 91 faces the bottom surface portion 61 of the bottom body 60 in a state where the second support member 90 is attached to the bottom body 60. On one side in the vertical direction of the bottom surface portion 91, a substantially rectangular vertical wall surface portion 92 is formed. A fold is formed by the boundary portion between the bottom surface portion 91 and the vertical wall surface portion 92.

[0051] On one side, on the other longitudinal side of the bottom surface portion 91, a substantially rectangular vertical wall surface portion 93 is formed. On the other longitudinal side of the vertical wall surface portion 93, an opposing surface portion 94 is formed. Each boundary portion between the bottom surface portion 91, the vertical wall surface portion 93, and the opposing surface portion 94 constitutes a fold.

[0052] On both lateral sides of the opposing surface portion 94, substantially rectangular outer surface portions 95a are formed. On the outer lateral side of the outer surface portion 95a, a substantially rectangular lower surface portion 95b is formed. On the outer lateral side of the lower surface portion 95b, a substantially rectangular inner surface portion 95c is formed. Folds are constituted by each boundary portion between the opposing surface portion 94, the outer surface portion 95a, the lower surface portion 95b, and the inner surface portion 95c.

[0053] Here, on the bottom surface portion 91, a raised portion 96 is formed. A pair of raised portions 96 are formed in the lateral direction. The raised portion 96 has a pair of raised surfaces 96a that are raised vertically and face each other. The raised surfaces 96a are of the same rectangular shape. The raised surfaces 96a of the present embodiment are longer in the vertical direction than the longitudinal lengths of the vertical wall surface portions 92 and 93. On both lateral sides of the raised surfaces 96a in the lateral direction, slit holes 96c extending in the vertical direction are formed. The slit holes 96c facilitate raising the raised surfaces 96a.

[0054] At both lateral ends of the bottom surface portion 91, bottom box claw portions 91a are formed. The bottom box claw portions 91a are formed corresponding to the positions of the slit holes 63b (see FIGS. 5 and 6) of the bottom body 60. Inside the lateral side of the bottom box claw portion 91a, a pushed-in portion 91b formed in a raised shape is formed. On the side of the vertical wall surface portion 93, a bottom box connection hole 91c is formed between the raised portion 96 and the pushed-in portion 91b. The bottom box connection hole 91c is formed corresponding to the position of the connection piece 61a (see FIG. 5) of the bottom body 60.

[0055] At the lateral center of the vertical wall surface portion 92, a claw portion 92a protruding to one longitudinal side is formed. On the opposing surface portion 94, an opening-shaped mounting hole 94a is formed. The mounting hole 94a is formed corresponding to the formation position of the raised portion 96 of the bottom surface portion 91. In the present embodiment, a pair of mounting holes 94a are formed on the left and right according to the number of raised portions 96. The mounting hole 94a is a rectangular opening. The mounting hole 94a is formed to correspond to or be slightly larger than the size of the raised surface 96a of the raised portion 96. Specifically, the mounting hole 94a is formed to have a size such that when the opposing surface portion 94 faces the bottom surface portion 91 and the raised surface 96a of the raised portion 96 is raised at a right angle to the bottom surface portion 91, the raised surface 96a abuts against the inner peripheral edge of the mounting hole 94a.

[0056] On the other side in the vertical direction of the opposing surface portion 94 and at the center in the horizontal direction of the opposing surface portion 94, a claw hole 94b is formed. The claw portion 92a of the standing wall surface portion 92 engages with the claw hole 94b. A pair of vertical claw holes 94c are formed at both outer ends in the horizontal direction of the opposing surface portion 94. Between the pair of vertical claw holes 94c in the vertical direction, a pair of vertically formed pushing portions 94d are formed in a raised manner. It is desirable that the horizontal length of the pushing portion 94d is formed to be slightly larger than the horizontal length of the lower surface portion 95b, for example.

[0057] At the center in the vertical direction of the lower surface portion 95b, an engagement hole 95b1 is formed. The pushing portion 91b of the bottom surface portion 91 engages with the engagement hole 95b1. On the inner surface portion 95c, claw portions 95c1 protruding in the horizontal direction are formed. A pair of claw portions 95c1 are formed in the vertical direction. The claw portions 95c1 engage with the claw holes 94c of the opposing surface portion 94.

[0058] [1-1-8. Configuration Regarding Assembly of the Second Support Member] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of an assembly method of the second support member 90 in Embodiment 1. Since the second support member 90 has a line-symmetric shape with respect to the symmetry line L2, only one side of the symmetry line L2 is shown in FIG. 11. In the deployed state, the second support member 90 is folded 90 degrees at each fold line portion in the order of the inner surface portion 95c, the lower surface portion 95b, and the outer surface portion 95a, and is folded toward the opposing surface portion 94 side. Then, when the claw portion 95c1 of the inner surface portion 95c is inserted into the claw hole 94c of the opposing surface portion 94, a single-layered winding portion 95 is formed.

[0059] Next, the standing wall surface portions 92 and 93 are folded 90 degrees at each fold line portion, and the opposing surface portion 94 is folded so as to face the bottom surface portion 91. Then, when the claw portion 92a of the standing wall surface portion 92 is inserted into the claw hole 94b, the opposing surface portion 94 is held in a state of facing the bottom surface portion 91. At this time, the bottom surface portion 91 and the opposing surface portion 94 are held at a predetermined interval by the standing wall surface portions 92 and 93. In particular, in the present embodiment, the outer surface of the lower surface portion 95b of the winding portion 95 abuts against the inner surface of the bottom surface portion 91. Therefore, the winding portion 95 makes it easier to hold the bottom surface portion 91 and the opposing surface portion 94 at a further predetermined interval.

[0060] Also, at this time, the position of the pushing-in portion 91b of the bottom surface portion 91 coincides with the position of the engaging hole 95b1 of the winding portion 95. Therefore, when the pushing-in portion 91b of the bottom surface portion 91 is pushed into the engaging hole 95b1, the bottom surface portion 91 and the winding portion 95 are engaged. Also, at this time, when the pushing-in portion 94d of the opposing surface portion 94 is pushed in, the pushing-in portion 94d is pushed into the winding portion 95. Therefore, it is difficult for the winding portion 95 to be restored to the deployed state due to the stiffness of the cardboard. Also, the winding portion 95 is reinforced by the pushing-in portions 91b and 94d.

[0061] And in the bottom surface portion 91, the raised surface 96a of the raised portion 96 is pushed toward the mounting hole 94a of the opposing surface portion 94, so that the raised surface 96a penetrates the mounting hole 94a and protrudes upward. In this way, the second support member 90 can be assembled.

[0062] [1-1-9. Configuration related to the assembly of the packaging bottom body] An example of a method for assembling the packaging bottom body 51 will be described using the first support member 80 and the second support member 90. In FIG. 5, for example, the bottom body 60 of the packaging bottom body 51 is disposed on the floor surface. A pair of water tank support members 73 are disposed at a predetermined position on the bottom surface portion 61 of the bottom body 60 in a predetermined state. Then, the second support member 90 is disposed toward the bottom body 60 from above the pair of water tank support members 73. At this time, since the raised portion 96 of the second support member 90 is pushed from below by the water tank support member 73, the water tank support member 73 is attached to the attachment hole 94a while the raised surface 96a is opened upward.

[0063] Then, the bottom box claw portion 91a of the second support member 90 is inserted into the slit hole 63b. Also, the connection piece 61a is connected to the bottom box connection hole 91c of the bottom surface portion 91. Thereby, the second support member 90 is disposed on the bottom body 60 of the packaging bottom body 51.

[0064] At this time, the water tank support member 73 is positioned on the second support member 90 in a state of being in contact with the inner peripheral edge of the attachment hole 94a. In the present embodiment, the water tank support member 73 is directly in contact with the left and right inner peripheral edges of the attachment hole 94a. Also, the water tank support member 73 is in contact with the front and rear inner peripheral edges of the attachment hole 94a via the raised surface 96a. Here, since the water tank support member 73 is held in a state of surface contact with the raised surface 96a, the water tank support member 73 is supported by the raised surface 96a from the bottom surface portion 91 to above the opposing surface portion 94 of the second support member 90.

[0065] Next, the front corner support portion 71 is disposed. The front corner support portion 71 is positioned at the corner formed by the front wall portion 62 and the left and right wall portions 63 by being inscribed in the front wall portion 62 and the left and right wall portions 63 of the bottom body 60. The opposing surface portion 94 of the second support member 90 enters the notch portion 71c of the front corner support portion 71 (see FIG. 7).

[0066] Next, the rear corner support portion 72 is arranged. At this time, it is desirable to arrange the first support member 80 as well. That is, the first support member 80 is arranged on the bottom body 60 in a state where the bottom positioning portion 86 enters and is positioned in the positioning recess 72d of the left and right corner support portions 72, and the upper protruding portion 87 enters the notch portion 72c of the corner support portion 72. Thereby, the corner support portion 72 is positioned at the corner formed by the rear wall portion 62 and the left and right wall portions 63 by being inscribed in the rear wall portion 62 and the left and right wall portions 63.

[0067] Thereby, the first support member 80 can be positioned at a predetermined position of the bottom body 60. Also, the first support member 80 can be arranged at a predetermined position of the bottom body 60 while preventing misassembly of the first support member 80. In the present embodiment, the multi-wound portion 82 is arranged so as to overlap on the vertical line L0 passing through the control board 42 (see FIGS. 3 and 13). When the rear corner support portion 72 is arranged, the second support member 90 abuts on the front surface (vertical surface) of the rear corner support portion 72 and is held by abutting on the rear surface (vertical surface) of the front corner support portion 72. That is, the second support member 90 has a rear surface (vertical surface) along the vertical direction formed by the rear end of the wound portion 95 abutting on the front surface (vertical surface) of the rear corner support portion 72. Also, the second support member 90 has a front surface (vertical surface) along the vertical direction formed by the front end of the wound portion 95 abutting on the rear surface (vertical surface) of the front corner support portion 71. In this way, the packing bottom body 51 can be assembled.

[0068] [1-2. Operation] Regarding the washing machine 10 of the packaging body 100 configured as described above, its operation will be described below.

[0069] In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the washing machine 10 is packaged by the packaging device 50 to form the packaging body 100. The packaging body 100 is, for example, stacked and stored.

[0070] FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the positional relationship between the packaging bottom body 51 of the package 100 and the base frame 12 of the washing machine 10 in Embodiment 1. FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XIII-XIII of FIG. 12. FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view taken along line XIV-XIV of FIG. 12. In the present embodiment, for the washing machine 10 of the package 100, the leg portions 13 at the four corners are supported by the leg accommodating portions 71a and 72a. Further, the base frame 12 is supported by the base frame support portions 71b and 72b of the corner support portions 71 and 72, the opposing surface portion 84 of the first support member 80, and the opposing surface portion 94 of the second support member 90. That is, the rear portion 12b of the base frame 12 abuts against the opposing surface portion 84 of the first support member 80 (see FIG. 13). Further, the left portion 12c and the right portion 12d of the base frame 12 abut against the opposing surface portion 94 of the second support member 90 (see FIG. 14). At this time, the corner support portions 71 and 72 are in a state of being pressed against the bottom body 60 by the load of the washing machine 10 by the leg portions 13. Therefore, the first support member 80 and the second support member 90 that abut against the corner support portions 71 and 72 are difficult to move in the horizontal direction.

[0071] Furthermore, for the washing machine 10, the outer tub 21 is supported by the water tank support member 73 via the packaging fitting 29 at the bottom. That is, as shown in FIG. 14, the extending portion 29b of the packaging fitting 29 is accommodated in the recess 73a of the left water tank support member 73. The extending portion 29c of the packaging fitting 29 is accommodated in the recess 73a of the right water tank support member 73. The left and right water tank support members 73 are in a state of being mounted in the mounting holes 94a. At this time, the water tank support member 73 is held in a state where at least one of the front portion and the rear portion is in surface contact with the raised surface 96a.

[0072] Generally, in a washing machine in which the outer tub 21 is suspended, that is, a so-called vertical washing machine 10, the outer tub 21 and the inner tub 23 are cylindrical, and it is easy to have a uniform load around the washing and dewatering shaft 27 during rotation. On the other hand, due to the weight of the control board 42, the drain duct, etc., a bias is likely to occur in the load distribution on the outer peripheral side of the outer tub 21 and the inner tub 23.

[0073] Since the rear side of the washing machine 10 of the present embodiment is heavier, in the base frame 12 of the washing machine 10, the rear part 12b is a location where the load distribution is large. That is, in the present embodiment, the load acting on the rear part 12b of the base frame 12 is likely to be larger than that acting on the front part 12a, the left part 12c, and the right part 12d. On the other hand, the loads acting on the front part 12a, the left part 12c, and the right part 12d are substantially uniform and smaller than that of the rear part 12b.

[0074] In contrast, in the present embodiment, the left part 12c and the right part 12d of the base frame 12 are supported by the second support member 90 having the winding part 95. The rear part 12b of the base frame 12 is supported by the first support member 80 having the multi-winding part 82. The multi-winding part 82 has a multi-layer structure, and the opposing surface part 84 is difficult to deform, making it easier to appropriately receive the load of the base frame 12. By supporting the rear part 12b, which is a location with a large load distribution, with the multi-winding part 82, the posture of the washing machine 10 supported by the packing bottom body 51 is less likely to tilt backward. Therefore, in the packing body 100, the washing machine 10 is packed in a state where it is easily maintained in a predetermined posture.

[0075] Also, in the packing body 100, the washing machine 10 is in a state where it is difficult to tilt, and the upper surface of the packing body 100 is also easily maintained in a horizontal state, making it easier to stack the packing bodies 100. The multi-winding part 82 also makes it easier to appropriately receive the load accumulated when the packing bodies 100 are stacked. Therefore, it is easier to secure the storage space for the packing body 100. Also, the workability during storage of the packing body 100 and the workability during transportation of the packing body 100 are likely to be improved.

[0076] Also, the package 100 is transported, for example, in an upright state. Therefore, during transportation, vibrations and the like act on the washing machine 10 of the package 100, and a force that attempts to move horizontally acts on the outer tub 21. In contrast, the washing machine 10 of the present embodiment is packaged by the packaging device 50, and the packaging fitting 29 is supported by the water tank support member 73. Therefore, the outer tub 21 is suppressed from swaying back and forth, left and right with respect to the housing 11. Further, since the packaging fitting 29 is supported by a pair of left and right water tank support members 73 separated in the left-right direction, and the water tank support member 73 further abuts against the lifting surfaces 96a provided in a pair on the left and right, the outer tub 21 and the packaging fitting 29 are also suppressed from rotating.

[0077] As described above, in the packaging bottom body 51 of the packaging device 50 of the present embodiment, the sizes of the corner support portions 71, 72 and the water tank support member 73 made of styrofoam can be easily minimized by the first support member 80 and the second support member 90 made of cardboard, and the amount of styrofoam used can be easily reduced.

[0078] [1-3. Effects, etc.] As described above, in the present embodiment, the package 100 includes the washing machine 10 including the housing 11, the outer tub 21 elastically supported by the housing 11, and the base frame 12 provided at the lower end of the housing 11, a first support member 80 having a multi-wound portion 82 formed by winding cardboard and supporting the base frame 12 by the multi-wound portion 82, and a second support member 90 separate from the first support member 80, the second support member 90 having a wound portion 95 formed by winding cardboard and supporting the base frame 12 by the wound portion 95. The number of windings of the multi-wound portion 82 is configured to be larger than the number of windings of the wound portion 95. The washing machine 10 is packaged in a state where portions with a small load distribution are supported by the second support member 90 and portions with a larger load distribution than the portions with a small load distribution are supported by the first support member 80. According to this configuration, since the strengths of the first support member 80 and the second support member 90 that support the base frame 12 can be locally changed according to the load distribution of the washing machine 10, the deformation amounts of the first support member 80 and the second support member 90 are in a substantially uniform state, and the washing machine 10 can be supported. For this reason, it is possible to provide a package 100 including the washing machine 10 that is easily maintained in a predetermined posture. Therefore, the inclination amount when the packages 100 of the washing machines 10 are stacked and stored can be controlled, and the safety and workability are improved.

[0079] As in the present embodiment, the first support member 80 has one-sided engagement holes 82c1 and 82g1 formed on the outer peripheral surface of the multi-wound portion 82, and a first engagement piece 85 that is substantially L-shaped when viewed in the winding axis direction of the multi-wound portion 82, and may be packaged in a state where the first engagement piece 85 is engaged with the one-sided engagement holes 82c1 and 82g1. According to this configuration, it is possible to easily regulate the unfolding in the winding direction of the multi-wound portion 82 and maintain the winding shape. In particular, at the time of assembly, by making the first engagement piece 85 L-shaped, it is possible to suppress it at a right angle to the movement of rotating and opening, and improve the holding force of the multi-wound portion 82.

[0080] As in the present embodiment, the first engagement piece 85 has a cut-up shape formed by a folded portion 85a and a punched portion 85b that connects both ends of the folded portion 85a, and the folded portion 85a may be formed closer to the outside of the first support member 80 than the punched portion 85b. According to this configuration, by providing the folded portion 85a of the first engagement piece 85 on the outside, the first engagement piece 85 can be easily configured by pushing the inner peripheral side of the punched portion 85b when gripping the outside of the first support member 80, and the assemblability of the first support member 80 is improved.

[0081] As in the present embodiment, the first support member 80 may be formed with a bottom-side positioning portion 86 that positions the multi-wound portion 82 so as to be disposed directly below the grounding surface of the base frame 12. According to this configuration, since the first support member 80 has a positioning shape, the positional relationship with respect to the load distribution of the washing machine 10 can be made as desired. Further, since the first support member 80 can have a separable structure, the size of the first support member 80 can be reduced.

[0082] As in the present embodiment, a rectangular bottom body 60 and corner support portions 71 and 72 that are respectively disposed at the four corners of the bottom body 60 and support the base frame 12 are provided. The first support member 80 is disposed between the two corner support portions 72, and positioning recesses 72d for positioning the bottom-side positioning portion 86 may be formed in the two corner support portions 72. According to this configuration, positioning recesses 72d are provided in the two corner support portions 72, and the first support member 80 can be easily positioned.

[0083] As in the present embodiment, a control board 42 supported by the housing 11 is provided, and the multi-wound portion 82 may intersect a vertical line L0 passing through the control board 42. According to this configuration, a portion where the load distribution is likely to be large can be appropriately supported by the first support member 80.

[0084] As described above, in the present embodiment, the packing device 50 is a packing device 50 that packs a washing machine 10 including a housing 11, an outer tub 21 elastically supported by the housing 11, and a base frame 12 provided at the lower end of the housing 11. The packing device 50 includes a first support member 80 having a multi-wound portion 82 formed by winding cardboard and supporting the base frame 12 by the multi-wound portion 82, and a second support member 90 separate from the first support member 80. The second support member 90 has a wound portion 95 formed by winding cardboard and supports the base frame 12 by the wound portion 95. The number of windings of the multi-wound portion 82 is configured to be larger than the number of windings of the wound portion 95. The second support member 90 supports a portion where the load distribution of the washing machine 10 is small, and the first support member 80 supports a portion where the load distribution of the washing machine 10 is larger than the portion where the load distribution is small. According to this configuration, since the strength of the first support member 80 and the second support member 90 that support the base frame 12 can be locally changed according to the load distribution of the washing machine 10, the deformation amounts of the first support member 80 and the second support member 90 are in a substantially uniform state, and the washing machine 10 can be supported. Therefore, it is possible to provide a packing device 50 that can pack the washing machine 10 in a state where it is easy to maintain the washing machine 10 in a predetermined posture. Thus, the inclination amount when the packed washing machines 10 are stacked and stored can be controlled, and safety and workability are improved.

[0085] (Other embodiments) As described above, as an example disclosed in the present application, the above-described Embodiment 1 has been described. However, the technology in the present disclosure is not limited to this, and can also be applied to embodiments in which changes, replacements, additions, omissions, etc. are made. Further, it is also possible to combine the respective components described in the above-described Embodiment 1 to form a new embodiment. Therefore, other embodiments will be exemplified below.

[0086] In Embodiment 1, a configuration in which the first support member 80 is disposed rearward has been described, but a configuration in which the first support member 80 is disposed forward may also be used. That is, for example, when the operation panel 41 and the control board 42 are disposed on the front side and a large load acts on the front side, a configuration in which the first support member 80 having the multi-wound portion 82 is disposed on the front side of the bottom surface portion 61 of the bottom body 60 may be used.

[0087] In Embodiment 1, the control board 42 has been exemplified as an example of an electrical component that is likely to have weight, and a configuration in which the multi-wound portion 82 is disposed on the vertical line L0 passing through the control board 42 has been described. However, the position where the multi-wound portion 82 is disposed is not limited to the position of the vertical line L0 passing through the control board 42. For example, when an electrical component heavier than the control board 42 is provided, the multi-wound portion 82 may be disposed on the vertical line passing through the electrical component. The electrical component is, for example, a liquid agent automatic injection device that automatically injects a liquid agent stored inside.

[0088] In Embodiment 1, it is desirable that the first support member 80 be composed of a single piece of cardboard in terms of the number of parts and in terms of ensuring the positional relationship among the bottom surface portion 81, the multi-wound portion 82, and the opposing surface portion 84. However, it may be composed of a plurality of pieces of cardboard. For example, the bottom surface portion 81, the multi-wound portion 82, and the opposing surface portion 84 may be composed of different pieces of cardboard respectively.

[0089] In Embodiment 1, it is desirable that the second support member 90 be composed of a single piece of cardboard in terms of the number of parts and in terms of ensuring the positional relationship among the bottom surface portion 91, the wound portion 95, and the opposing surface portion 94. However, it may be composed of a plurality of pieces of cardboard. For example, the bottom surface portion 91, the wound portion 95, and the opposing surface portion 94 may be composed of different pieces of cardboard respectively.

[0090] In Embodiment 1, it is desirable that a pair of raised portions 96 of the second support member 90 be provided on the left and right. However, there may be one raised portion 96. Also, three or more raised portions 96 may be provided in the left-right direction.

[0091] In Embodiment 1, it is desirable that the raised surface 96a of the raised portion 96 of the second support member 90 penetrate the mounting hole 94a upward and protrude above the opposing surface portion 94. However, it is not limited to this, and it may not protrude upward. That is, the tip of the raised surface 96a may be formed to abut against the inner peripheral edge of the mounting hole 94a.

[0092] Note that the above-described embodiments are for exemplifying the technology in the present disclosure. Therefore, various changes, replacements, additions, omissions, etc. can be made within the scope of the claims or the equivalent scope thereof.

[0093] (Supplementary Note) With the description of the above embodiments, the following technology is disclosed.

[0094] (Technology 1) A washing machine comprising a housing, a water tank elastically supported by the housing, and a base frame provided at the lower end of the housing, a first support member having a first wound portion formed by winding cardboard and supporting the base frame by the first wound portion, and a second support member separate from the first support member, the second support member having a second wound portion formed by winding cardboard and supporting the base frame by the second wound portion, wherein the number of windings of the first wound portion is configured to be larger than the number of windings of the second wound portion, and the washing machine is packed in a state where a location with a small load distribution is supported by the second support member and a location with a larger load distribution than the location with a small load distribution is supported by the first support member. According to this, since the strength of the first support member and the second support member that support the base frame can be locally changed according to the load distribution of the washing machine, the washing machine can be supported in a state where the deformation amounts of the first support member and the second support member are substantially uniform. Therefore, it is possible to provide a packaged body including a washing machine that is packed in a state where it is easily maintained in a predetermined posture.

[0097] (TECHNOLOGY 4) The packaging body according to any one of Technologies 1 to 3, wherein the first support member is formed with a positioning shape for positioning the first wound portion directly below the grounding surface of the base frame. According to this, since the first support member has the positioning shape, the positional relationship with respect to the load distribution of the washing machine can be made as intended. Further, since the first support member can be a separable structure, the size of the first support member can be reduced.

[0098] (TECHNOLOGY 5) The packaging body according to any one of Technologies 1 to 4, comprising a rectangular bottom body and resin supports respectively disposed at four corners of the bottom body for supporting the base frame, wherein the first support member is disposed between two of the resin supports, and the two resin supports are formed with positioning portions for positioning the positioning shape. According to this, since the two resin supports are provided with the positioning portions, the first support member can be easily positioned.

[0099] (TECHNOLOGY 6) The packaging body according to any one of Technologies 1 to 5, comprising electrical components supported by the housing, wherein the first wound portion intersects a vertical line passing through the electrical components. According to this, a portion where the load distribution tends to be large can be appropriately supported by the first support member.

[0100] (TECHNOLOGY 7) A packaging device for packaging a washing machine including a housing, a water tank elastically supported by the housing, and the housing, the packaging device comprising: a first support member having a first wound portion formed by winding cardboard and supporting the base frame by the first wound portion; and a second support member separate from the first support member, the second support member having a second wound portion formed by winding cardboard and supporting the base frame by the second wound portion, wherein the number of windings of the first wound portion is configured to be more than the number of windings of the second wound portion, the second support member supports a portion of the washing machine where the load distribution is small, and the first support member supports a portion of the washing machine where the load distribution is larger than the portion where the load distribution is small. According to this, since the strengths of the first support member and the second support member that support the base frame can be locally changed according to the load distribution of the washing machine, the washing machine can be supported in a state where the deformation amounts of the first support member and the second support member are substantially uniform. Therefore, it is possible to provide a packaging device that can package the washing machine in a state where it is easy to maintain the washing machine in a predetermined posture.
