[0009] Hereinafter, one embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. A washing machine 10 as a clothes processing device shown in Figs. 1 to 3 includes a main body 20, a water tub 11, a spin tub 12, a motor 13, a drain valve 14, a water supply valve 15, a water supply path 16, and a display device 17. The left front side of Fig. 1 is the front side of the washing machine 10, and the right rear side of Fig. 1 is the rear side of the washing machine 10. When using the washing machine 10, a user is positioned at the front side of the washing machine 10. The side of the installation surface of the washing machine 10, that is, the vertically lower side, is the lower side of the washing machine 10, and the opposite side of the installation surface, that is, the vertically upper side, is the upper side of the washing machine 10. The direction perpendicular to the front-rear and up-down directions of the washing machine 10 is the width direction, that is, the left-right direction, of the washing machine 10.

[0010] The washing machine 10 of this embodiment is a so-called vertical axis type washing machine in which the rotation axis of the rotating tub 12 is oriented vertically. Note that the washing machine 10 is not limited to the vertical axis type, and may be, for example, a so-called drum type washing machine in which the rotation axis of the rotating tub 12 is horizontal or inclined with respect to the ground. In addition, the washing machine 10 may or may not have a drying function.

[0011] As shown in FIG. 1, the main body 20 has a box body 21, a top cover 22, a back cover 23, and a lid member 30. The box body 21 constitutes the outer shell of the washing machine 10. The box body 21 is formed into a substantially rectangular box shape, for example, from a steel plate or the like, and is open at the top. The water tub 11 is accommodated inside the main body 20, i.e., inside the box body 21. The spin tub 12 is accommodated inside the water tub 11. The water tub 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom that is open at the top. Similarly, the spin tub 12 is also formed in a cylindrical shape with a bottom that is open at the top. The water tub 11 and the spin tub 12 constitute a washing tub that accommodates clothes inside when the washing machine 10 is operating.

[0012] The top cover 22 is provided on the upper part of the box body 21. The outer shape of the top cover 22 is formed in a shape that follows the outer shape of the box body 21, and has a main body opening 221 that penetrates in the vertical direction on the inside as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The main body opening 221 has a shape like a roughly semicircle with an arc in front. The upper part of the top cover 22 is inclined so as to descend toward the front. The back cover 23 is provided behind the top cover 22 as shown in Figs. 1 to 4. The back cover 23 is configured as a rectangular box that is long in the left-right direction of the washing machine 10 as a whole. For example, the water supply valve 15 and a part of the water supply path 16 are accommodated inside the back cover 23. In addition, when the washing machine 10 has a drying function, a drying unit that is composed of, for example, a heater or the like and generates dry air can also be accommodated inside the back cover 23.

[0013] As shown in Fig. 3, the top cover 22 has left and right side wall portions 222 that protrude upward from the center in the left-right direction. In other words, the upper portion of the top cover 22 is set so that the height positions of the left and right side wall portions 222 from the floor surface are higher than the height positions from the floor surface around the main body opening 221. In this specification, the center in the left-right direction is not limited to the center in the left-right direction, but refers to at least a portion other than the edges in the left-right direction. A hinge receiving portion 223 extending in the left-right direction is provided in the upper portion near the rear of the top cover 22.

[0014] The lid member 30 is provided above the top cover 22 and in front of the back cover 23, and opens and closes the main body opening 221 of the top cover 22. The lid member 30 is rotatably supported by a hinge receiver 223 provided at the upper rear of the top cover 22. Note that in this embodiment, the lid member 30 is formed in a single plate shape and is configured to be unfoldable, but it may also be configured to be foldable in two at the center in the front-rear direction.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2 and other figures, the cover member 30 has a first surface 301, a second surface 302, and a hinge portion 303. The first surface 301 is a surface facing the outside of the washing machine 10 in a closed state in which the main body opening 221 is closed by the cover member 30. The second surface 302 is a surface facing the first surface 301, and faces the water tub 11 and the spin tub 12 through the top cover 22 and the main body opening 221 in a closed state. The first surface 301 of the cover member 30 is configured flat and forms the upper surface of the washing machine 10. The hinge portion 303 is a portion of the cover member 30 that is rotatably supported by the hinge receiving portion 223. The hinge portion 303 extends in the left-right direction in a plan view to form the rear side of the cover member 30, and bulges toward the second surface 302 in a side view.

[0016] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, in the closed state where the lid member 30 is closed, the lid member 30 is arranged in a posture inclined downward from the rear to the front, that is, in a posture in which the front is lowered. In other words, when the lid member 30 is closed, the top surface of the washing machine 10 is inclined downward from the rear to the front. In addition, in the closed state, the second surface 302 of the lid member 30 contacts the left and right side wall portions 222 of the top cover 22. As a result, the lid member 30 is supported from below by the left and right side wall portions 222 of the top cover 22.

[0017] 2, motor 13 is provided on the outside of the bottom of water tub 11 and is connected to rotating tub 12 through water tub 11. Motor 13 can be configured, for example, as an outer rotor type DC brushless motor. Motor 13 is driven under the control of a control device (not shown) to rotate rotating tub 12.

[0018] Drain valve 14 is an electromagnetically actuable on-off valve for liquid, and is controlled by a control device (not shown). The input side of drain valve 14 is connected to drain port 111 provided at the bottom end of water tub 11, and the output side of drain valve 14 is connected to the outside of washing machine 10. Drain valve 14 opens and closes a drain path for draining water stored in water tub 11 to the outside of the machine. When drain valve 14 is closed, water tub 11 is capable of storing water. When drain valve 14 is opened, water stored in water tub 11 can be drained to the outside of the machine.

[0019] The water supply valve 15 is provided inside the back cover 23. The water supply valve 15 is an electromagnetically drivable on-off valve for liquid, and opens and closes the water supply path 16. The water supply path 16 is a path that connects a connection port that is connected to an external water supply source and the water tub 11. A part of the water supply path 16 passes through the inside of the back cover 23, and a part of it extends to the water tub 11 through the inside of the top cover 22. A water injection case is provided midway along the water supply path 16. The water injection case is provided with a treatment agent case that can accommodate laundry treatment agents such as detergent and fabric softener.

[0020] 1, the display device 17 is provided so as to be visible and operable from the first surface 301 side of the cover member 30. The display device 17 is configured to include a display unit 171 that displays and accepts user operations, and a substrate 172 that controls the operation of the display unit 171. The display unit 171 is, for example, a capacitive touch panel, and although not shown in detail, is provided with a start key, a pause key, and various operation keys for the user to set the contents of the washing operation, etc.

[0021] Motor 13, drain valve 14, water supply valve 15, display device 17, etc. are driven and controlled by a control device (not shown). The control device executes a washing operation of washing machine 10, including at least one of a washing process, a rinsing process, a spin-drying process, and a drying process.

[0022] The configuration of the lid member 30 will be described in detail with reference to Figures 4 to 16. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, the up-down direction refers to the position of the lid member 30 in the closed state. That is, the first surface 301 side is the upper side, and the second surface 302 side is the lower side. Also, the free end side of the lid member 30, i.e., the side facing the front end of the top cover 22 in the closed state, is the front side, and the fixed end side supported by the hinge receiving portion 223 is the rear side.

[0023] As shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the cover member 30 includes a plate member 31, a support member 32, a holding member 33, a main cover 34, and a hinge cover 35. The plate member 31 is disposed on the upper surface side of the support member 32, and forms a first surface 301 of the cover member 30. In other words, the plate member 31 is a portion that is exposed to the outside and visible to the user when the cover member 30 is in a closed state. The plate member 31 is made of a transparent or semi-transparent member, and is formed into a generally rectangular plate shape. In this embodiment, the plate member 31 is made of reinforced glass. In other embodiments, the plate member 31 may be formed of a synthetic resin such as an acrylic resin.

[0024] The support member 32 is formed in a generally rectangular plate shape and supports the plate member 31 from the second surface 302 side, i.e., from below. Between the support member 32 and the plate member 31, an attachment member such as an adhesive or an adhesive tape (not shown) is provided.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 7, the support member 32 has a display device housing section 321, a connector housing section 322, and a guide groove 323. The display device housing section 321 is provided in the center of the support member 32 and is a roughly rectangular opening penetrating the support member 32 in the thickness direction. The display device housing section 321 houses therein a display unit 171 and a board 172 that controls the operation of the display unit 171. The display unit 171 is installed so as to be visible from the first surface 301 side, and the board 172 is provided near the second surface 302 of the display unit 171, that is, below the second surface 302. The display unit 171 and the board 172 may be configured integrally or separately.

[0026] The connector accommodating section 322 is provided behind the display device accommodating section 321, that is, closer to the hinge section 303. The connector accommodating section 322 is formed in a container shape in which the support member 32 is recessed from the second surface 302 side toward the first surface 301 side. In this embodiment, the connector accommodating section 322 is formed in a rectangular shape that is long in the left-right direction. The connector accommodating section 322 accommodates therein a connector 53 that connects the lead wire 50 extending from the main body 20 and the lead wire 51 extending from the substrate 172. The connector accommodating section 322 and the hinge section 303 are not in contact with each other, and are separated from each other in the front-rear direction. In other words, a space having a predetermined distance in the front-rear direction is provided between the connector accommodating section 322 and the hinge section 303.

[0027] The guide groove 323 is provided on the surface of the support member 32 close to the second surface 302, i.e., the lower surface, and has a function of guiding the lead wire 51 from the connector housing portion 322 to the display device housing portion 321 while housing the lead wire 51 therein. The guide groove 323 is formed integrally with the support member 32. In this embodiment, the guide groove 323 is formed by recessing the surface of the support member 32 close to the second surface 302 toward the first surface 301. Note that the guide groove 323 recessed toward the first surface 301 includes not only forming a groove shape whose bottom is located closer to the first surface 301 than most of the surface of the support member 32 close to the second surface 302, but also forming a groove shape by being surrounded by a wall portion formed by protruding from the surface of the support member 32 close to the second surface 302 toward the second surface 302.

[0028] The holding member 33 is formed in a generally rectangular plate shape, and covers the opening of the display device accommodating section 321 from the second surface 302 side to open and close the opening of the display device accommodating section 321. The holding member 33 prevents the display device 17 accommodated in the display device accommodating section 321 from falling off the support member 32. In this embodiment, the display device 17 is attached to the holding member 33 in advance, and is attached to the cover member 30 by attaching the holding member 33 to the display device accommodating section 321.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 6, FIG. 11, etc., the main cover 34 is disposed on the second surface 302 side, i.e., downward, of the support member 32, and forms the second surface 302 of the cover member 30. As shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 9, etc., the main cover 34 is formed in a rectangular shape as a whole and in a shallow container shape that opens toward the first surface 301 side, i.e., upward. When the main cover 34 is assembled to the support member 32, at least the display device accommodating portion 321 is covered and hidden. In this embodiment, the main cover 34 does not cover the connector accommodating portion 322. In this case, the main cover 34 has a notch portion 341. The notch portion 341 is formed by cutting out a part of the rear portion of the main cover 34 so as to recess it toward the front. The notch portion 341 is provided in the center of the rear portion of the main cover 34 in the left-right direction, and is provided at a position that generally corresponds to the outer periphery of the connector accommodating portion 322 when the main cover 34 is assembled to the support member 32. In other embodiments, the main cover 34 may be configured to cover the connector accommodating portion 322 .

[0030] 10, the hinge part cover 35 is formed in a rectangular plate shape that is long in the left-right direction, and forms at least the surface on the second surface 302 side of the hinge part 303. In other words, the hinge part cover 35 covers the hinge part 303 from the second surface 302 side. In this embodiment, the hinge part cover 35 opens and closes the opening of the connector accommodating part 322. The main cover 34 and the hinge part cover 35 together constitute cover members that form the second surface 302 of the lid member 30.

[0031] 11 and 12, guide groove 323 is covered from the second surface 302 side by a cover member, specifically main cover 34. In other words, the opening of guide groove 323 close to the second surface is covered by main cover 34. This makes it difficult for liquid or water vapor to enter inside guide groove 323. Therefore, it is possible to prevent liquid from reaching board 172 or connector 53 via lead wire 51.

[0032] In this embodiment, the hinge cover 35 and the main cover 34 overlap in the vertical direction to the first surface 301 at the front of the hinge cover 35 and the rear of the main cover 34, in this case around the connector accommodating portion 322. The main cover 34 has a step on the second surface 302 side at the rear where it overlaps with the hinge cover 35. That is, the main cover 34 is recessed toward the first surface 301 at the portion where it overlaps with the hinge cover 35 so as to receive the hinge cover 35. In this embodiment, the main cover 34 is recessed at the rear by the thickness of the hinge cover 35, and when the main cover 34 and the hinge cover 35 are attached to the support member 32, the surfaces of both the main cover 34 and the hinge cover 35 on the second surface 302 side are arranged in a so-called flush state, that is, on the same plane. This allows the same thickness to be maintained over almost the entire cover member. Therefore, even if the cutout portion 341 is formed, the strength of the cover member as a whole remains roughly constant.

[0033] An opening 351 is formed in the left-right center of the hinge part cover 35. The opening 351 is formed by cutting out the rear part of the hinge part cover 35, and when the hinge part cover 35 and the main cover 34 are attached to the support member 32, the opening 351 allows communication between the inside and outside of the lid member 30.

[0034] In a state where the connector accommodating portion 322 is covered by the hinge cover 35, that is, in a state where the hinge cover 35 is attached to the support member 32 and the main cover 34, a gap is provided between the hinge cover 35 and the opening of the connector accommodating portion 322. This gap becomes a space where the lead wires 50, 51 are drawn into or drawn out from the inside of the connector accommodating portion 322. In other words, the inner surface of the hinge cover 35, that is, the surface on the first surface 301 side, and the opening of the connector accommodating portion 322 are separated by a predetermined distance in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 301. This predetermined distance should be sufficient to allow the lead wires 50, 51 to pass through, and can be set within a range of, for example, 1 mm to 5 mm.

[0035] The lid member 30 further has a connecting member 36. The connecting member 36 is positioned in the hinge portion 303 so as to fit into the opening of the hinge portion cover 35. The connecting member 36 is supported non-rotatably in the center of the hinge receiving portion 223 of the top cover 22, and is provided rotatably relative to the support member 32, the main cover 34, and the hinge portion cover 35. The connecting member 36 has a function of connecting the top cover 22 and the lid member 30. Although not shown in detail, the connecting member 36 has communicating lower openings at the rear and right side surface to allow the lead wires 50 to pass therethrough.

[0036] Lead wires 50, 51 electrically connect the control device provided inside main body 20 to display device 17, more specifically, substrate 172. A method for arranging lead wires 50, 51 extending from main body 20 to substrate 172 will be described with reference to Fig. 12. Lead wire 50 is led from main body 20 through hinge portion 303 to cover member 30. In this case, lead wire 50 passes through connecting member 36 and opening 351 of hinge portion cover 35 and is drawn into the inside of the cover member.

[0037] The lead wire 50 does not extend directly toward the connector housing portion 322 provided in front of the hinge cover 35, that is, toward the first surface 301. That is, the lead wire 50 is first routed in the left-right direction, in this case, toward the right, and then directed forward by a guide portion 342 provided at the rear of the main cover 34. The guide portion 342 has a function of bending the lead wire 50 by changing the direction of the lead wire 50. In this embodiment, the guide portion 342 is provided in an area where the notch portion 341 is extended rearward in the hinge portion 303, in this case, an area where the right end portion of the notch portion 341 is extended rearward. The guide portion 342 has a shaft portion that protrudes from the main cover 34 toward the second surface 302 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the first surface 301, and a claw portion that extends in a direction horizontal to the first surface 301 from the tip of the shaft portion on the second surface 302 side. The claw portion has a function of preventing the lead wire 50 routed around the shaft portion from falling off the guide portion 342.

[0038] Lead wire 50 goes around guide portion 342, turns approximately 270° in this case, and advances toward connector housing portion 322 in the front. Having reached connector housing portion 322, lead wire 50 turns left and right, in this case to the left, advances inside connector housing portion 322 which is long in the left and right direction, and is connected to connector 53. For example, the tip of lead wire 50 connected to connector 53 is a male connector 501, and connector 53 is a female connector. Lead wire 51 extends from the side of connector 53 opposite to the side connected to lead wire 50.

[0039] The lead wire 51 extends from the connector 53 in the left-right direction, in this case, toward the left, and exits the connector accommodating portion 322. The lead wire 51 that exits the connector accommodating portion 322 extends further toward the left inside the main cover 34, i.e., toward the first surface 301. The lead wire 51 is guided to the board 172 by a guide groove 323 provided on the surface of the support member 32 near the second surface 302, i.e., the lower surface. The guide groove 323 extends further toward the left from the left of the connector accommodating portion 322, changes direction to the right of the region where the left side of the board 172 is extended rearward, and extends forward. That is, the lead wire 51 extends leftward from the connector accommodating portion 322, changes direction, extends forward, and is connected to a portion of the board 172 near the rear left side.

[0040] Lid member 30 further has a waterproof structure as shown in Figs. 13 to 16. The waterproof structure has a function of reducing the intrusion of liquid or water vapor into at least connector 53 and the periphery of connector 53. For example, the waterproof structure can be realized by covering connector 53 and the configuration around connector 53 with a waterproof member having waterproof performance. Note that the waterproof structure is omitted from illustration in figures other than Figs. 13 to 16.

[0041] In one embodiment, the cover member 30 has a waterproof member 60, as shown by hatching in FIG. 13. The waterproof member 60 seals the opening of the connector accommodating portion 322. For example, the waterproof member 60 is disposed between the opening of the connector accommodating portion 322 and the hinge cover 35 to seal the inside of the connector accommodating portion 322. This prevents liquid or water vapor from entering the inside of the connector accommodating portion 322 and prevents liquid or water vapor from reaching the inside of the connector 53. The waterproof member 60 is a packing or cushioning material made of, for example, synthetic or natural rubber that has waterproofness, flexibility, and elasticity. In this case, the waterproof member 60 may be formed, for example, in the shape of a frame with an opening in the center, that is, the outer shape of the opening of the connector accommodating portion 322. In another embodiment, as shown by hatching in FIG. 14, the cover member 30 may have a waterproof member 70 formed in a shape, in this case, rectangular, that covers the entire connector accommodating portion 322.

[0042] In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the cover member 30 has a waterproof member 61. The waterproof member 61 directly or indirectly covers the surface of the connector 53. For example, the waterproof member 61 is wrapped around the connector 53 to seal it. In this way, by covering the connector 53, the intrusion of liquid or water vapor from the outside into the inside of the connector 53 is suppressed. The waterproof member 61 is a sheet-like or tape-like member that is waterproof, stretchable, and flexible, and is formed of, for example, a synthetic resin. In another embodiment, the waterproof member 61 is a bag-like member that is waterproof and flexible, and encloses the connector 53 inside.

[0043] In one embodiment, the cover member 30 has a waterproof member 62 as shown in FIG. 16. The waterproof member 62 directly or indirectly encases the lead wire 50 and / or the lead wire 51. This prevents liquid or water vapor from adhering to the lead wire 50 and / or the lead wire 51, and prevents liquid or water vapor from entering the inside of the connector 53 along the surface of the lead wire 50 and / or the lead wire 51. The waterproof member 62 is, for example, a waterproof adhesive or non-adhesive tape made of synthetic resin. The waterproof member 62 can be wrapped around the surface of the lead wires 50 and 51. In another embodiment, the waterproof member 62 is, for example, a tubular member having waterproofness and flexibility. The waterproof member 62 is, for example, a so-called insulating tube made of synthetic resin. Note that the waterproof member 62 may be formed by wrapping a waterproof tape around the surface of the lead wire 50 and / or the lead wire 51 after covering the surface of the lead wire 50 and / or the lead wire 51 with an insulating tube.

[0044] The waterproof members 60, 70, 61, and 62 may be used alone or in combination of two or more. In this embodiment, the cover member 30 is configured to include all of the waterproof members 60, 61, and 62.

[0045] Here, liquids such as water and laundry treatment agents are used to operate the washing machine 10. When using hot water or the drying function, water vapor is generated inside the main body 20. Meanwhile, in order for the lead wire 50 to be drawn from the main body 20 into the inside of the lid member 30, an opening through which the lead wire 50 passes is required in the lid member 30. In this case, even if the waterproofing inside the main body 20 is improved, if the waterproofing inside the lid member 30, particularly the lead wires 50, 51 and the connector 53 that are electrically connected, is low, there is a possibility of electric leakage due to liquid or water vapor entering from the opening.

[0046] According to the present embodiment described above, the washing machine 10 as a clothes processing device includes the main body 20, the cover member 30, the display device 17, and the connector 53. The main body 20 has a main body opening 221 that opens upward. The cover member 30 is rotatably supported on the upper part of the main body 20 to open and close the main body opening 221, and has a first surface 301 facing the outside of the main body 20, a second surface 302 facing the main body opening 221 side opposite to the first surface 301, and a hinge portion 303 on which the rotation axis Ax is located. The display device 17 is provided inside the cover member 30 and displays information visible from the first surface 301 side. The connector 53 connects the lead wire 51 connected to the display device 17 and the lead wire 50 extending from the main body 20. The cover member 30 has a connector housing portion 322, and a main cover 34 and a hinge portion cover 35 that constitute a cover member. The connector accommodating portion 322 accommodates the connector 53 therein. The main cover 34 and / or the hinge portion cover 35 cover the connector accommodating portion 322.

[0047] According to this, the connector 53, which is at risk of electric leakage when liquid or water vapor enters inside the lid member 30, is protected by the cover member. Therefore, it is possible to prevent liquid or water vapor from entering the connector 53. Therefore, a clothing processing device equipped with a lid having excellent waterproof properties is provided.

[0048] Furthermore, the lid member 30 is provided with waterproof members 60, 61, 62 as waterproof members. The waterproof structure prevents liquid or water vapor from entering at least one of the lead wires 50, 51 and the connector 53. As a result, the lead wires 50, 51 and / or the connector 53, which are at risk of electric leakage inside the lid member 30, are protected by the waterproof structure. Therefore, a clothing treatment device provided with a lid having excellent waterproof properties is provided.

[0049] The cover member 30 has a waterproof member 62 that encases at least the portion of the lead wire 50 from the portion connected to the connector 53 to the portion passing through the hinge portion 303 .

[0050] This makes it possible to prevent liquid or water vapor from entering the lead wire 50 itself, which may be exposed to the outside at the opening 351 of the hinge cover 35 and is likely to be exposed to liquid or water vapor. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent liquid or water vapor from reaching the connector 53 by running down the surface of the lead wire 50. Therefore, a clothing treatment device with improved waterproofing of the lid member 30 is provided.

[0051] The cover member 30 has a waterproof member 62 that covers the lead wires 51 that connect the display device 17 and the connector 53 .

[0052] This prevents liquid or water vapor from reaching the substrate 172 through the lead wires 51. Therefore, a clothing processing device with improved waterproofing of the lid member 30 is provided.

[0053] Connector accommodating portion 322 is recessed from second surface 302 side toward first surface 301 side of cover member 30, in this case support member 32. Cover member 30 has the waterproof member arranged so as to fill the gap between the opening of connector accommodating portion 322 and the cover member, in this case hinge portion cover 35, in a state in which connector accommodating portion 322 is covered by hinge portion cover 35.

[0054] This makes it possible to prevent liquid or water vapor from entering from the outside of the connector housing portion 322. Therefore, a clothing processing device with improved waterproofing of the cover member 30 is provided.

[0055] The cover member 30 has a waterproof member 61 that encases the connector 53. In this case, for example, the waterproof member 61 may be a waterproof sheet-like member that wraps the connector 53, or may be a waterproof bag-like member that encloses the connector 53.

[0056] With this, even if liquid or water vapor does infiltrate into the connector housing portion 322, it is possible to prevent the liquid or water vapor from infiltrating into the connector 53. Therefore, a clothing treatment device with improved waterproofing of the lid member 30 is provided.

[0057] A space is formed in the front-rear direction between connector accommodating portion 322 and hinge portion 303 when cover member 30 is in the closed state. That is, connector accommodating portion 322 and hinge portion 303 are spaced apart from each other in the direction perpendicular to first surface 301.

[0058] According to this, by disposing the connector housing 322 away from the hinge part 303 in which the opening 351 is provided, it is possible to prevent liquid or water vapor from entering the inside of the connector 53 through the opening 351. Therefore, a clothing treatment device with improved waterproofing of the lid member 30 is provided.

[0059] Lead wires 50, 51 are not in a straight line from the portion of lead wire 50 passing through hinge portion 303 to the portion of lead wire 51 connected to display device 17, in this case substrate 172. In other words, lead wires 50, 51 are bent at least once from opening 351 to the portion of lead wire 50 connected to substrate 172.

[0060] According to this, by making the lead wires 50, 51 bent, when the lid member 30 is in a closed state, even if liquid flows down the lead wires 50, 51, it accumulates at the bent part of the lead wires 50, 51, which is the lowest point, and is difficult to flow to the connection part with the board 172. Also, when the lid member 30 is in an open state, water vapor is difficult to rise linearly around the lead wires 50, 51 and reach the board 172. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the intrusion of liquid or water vapor into the connection part with the board 172 or into the board 172. Therefore, a clothing treatment device with improved waterproofing of the lid member 30 is provided.
