Description

Description: TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an installation table for a washing machine.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 6, an installation base of this type of washing machine has an inverted-frustum-shaped base 1 arranged so as to be located at a substantially quadrangular corner, and is arranged diagonally. The bases 1 located are connected by connecting frames 2 and 3, and as shown in FIG. 7, the base 1 and the connecting frames 2 and 3 are fixed by screws 4 and butterfly nuts 5, Further, as shown in FIG. 6, four reinforcing covers 6 are fixed to the connection frame by screws and butterfly nuts 5. An installation table as shown in FIG. 3 is also conceivable. That is, the base 6 provided with the concave portion 7 on the upper surface is disposed so as to be located at a corner of a substantially square shape, and further, a connecting portion 8 for connecting a connecting frame to the side of the base 6 is provided. The part 8 is provided with a claw part 9. The bases 6 are connected by inserting the ends of the four connection frames 10, 11, 12, and 13 from the openings 8 a of the connection parts 8 and finally fixing the bases 6 with the claws 9. I do.

Further, one of the four connection frames, which is arranged in parallel,
A pair of connecting frames 11 and 13 have convex portions 11a and 13a according to the width of the washing machine.
4, when installed on the waterproof floor 14, as shown in FIG. 4, on the front and rear surfaces of the washing machine, the protrusions 14a at the ends of the waterproof floor cause the gap ml between the lower portion of the washing machine and the floor surface.
5a, the distance l1 between the lower portion of the washing machine and the floor surface becomes wider as shown in FIG. 5a, but the distance l2 is increased by the connecting frames 11 and 13, and furthermore, as shown in FIG.
As shown in the figure, the projections 11a and 13a can be set to l3 (l1>l2> l3), thereby preventing a user from putting his / her hands or feet into the washing machine from below the washing machine and improving safety. Has improved.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 7, the base 1 and the connection frames 2, 3 are fixed by the screws 4 and the butterfly nuts 5, so that the assemblability is poor and the material cost is low. There was a problem that the number increased.

When connecting the bases 6 by fixing the connection frames 10, 11, 12, and 13 to the claw portions 4 of the connection portion 8, the base frames 6 are easily fixed by only the claw portions 4 and easily come off. Frames 10, 11, 12, 1
3 upside down or connecting frames 11 and 13 with their
When a and 13a are mistakenly assembled so as to be inside the substantially square shape and installed on the waterproof floor, as shown in FIG. 5b, on the left and right sides of the washing machine, l3 can be set by the convex portions 11a and 13a. The resulting gap between the lower portion of the washing machine and the connection frames 11 and 13 is widened, so that a user can put his / her hands or feet inside the washing machine from the lower portion of the washing machine. Was.

The present invention solves such a problem, improves the assemblability of the base and the connecting frame, does not increase the material cost, and
The base and the connection frame do not come off, and the connection frame is not mistakenly assembled, the gap between the lower part of the washing machine and the connection frame is not widened, and hands and feet are prevented from entering the lower part of the washing machine to improve safety. It is intended to provide an installation table.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a base for mounting legs provided at four corners of a lower surface of a washing machine, and four bases for connecting the bases. A connection frame connected to an end of the connection frame provided on a side portion of the base; L-shaped grooves having different lengths are formed in each of the connection portions; Has a configuration in which L-shaped ribs having different lengths are formed at positions corresponding to the L-shaped grooves having different lengths of the connecting portion.

Operation According to the above configuration, since the fitting of the connecting portion and the connecting frame can be given directionality, the assemblability of the base and the connecting frame is improved, and the material cost is not increased. Without the connection frame coming out, and without mistake of the connection frame,
A gap between the lower portion of the washing machine and the connection frame is not widened, and an installation table that prevents hands and feet from entering the lower portion of the washing machine and improves safety can be provided.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG.

In the figure, a base 17 provided with a concave portion 16 on the upper surface is arranged so as to be located at a corner of a substantially quadrangular shape.
The spaces are connected by four connection frames 18, 19, 20, 21.

Then, connecting portions 18 are formed on both sides of the base 17,
The connection frames 19, 20, 21, 22 are detachable. Further, connecting portions 18 of the base 17 have L-shaped grooves 18 of different lengths.
a, 18b, and L-shaped ribs 23a having different lengths corresponding to L-shaped grooves 18a, 18b having different lengths of the connecting portion 18 at both ends of the connecting frames 19, 20, 21, 22. , 23b. In addition, 18c is a claw portion for fixing the connection frame.

In the installation table of the washing machine configured as described above,
As shown in FIG. 1, the connection frames 19, 20, 21, and 22 are detachable by the claw portions 18c formed at both ends of the base 17, so that the assemblability can be improved and the screw can be improved. Also, there is no need for a bow nut and no increase in material costs.

Further, connecting portions 18 on both sides of the base 17 have L-shaped grooves 18a and 18b (Pa> Pb: Pa and Pb are the respective L-shaped groove lengths) having different lengths, and the connecting frame 19, L-shaped ribs 23a and 23b (Na> Nb: Na and Nb are the respective L-shaped rib lengths) having different lengths at both ends of 20, 21, and 22 form connecting frames 19, 20, 21, and 22, respectively. Base 17
The connection frames 19, 20, 21 and 22 can be mistakenly assembled upside down, and the connection frames 19 and 21 can be mistakenly assembled so that the projections 19a and 21a are inside the substantially square shape. 5b, the gap between the lower portion of the washing machine and the connection frame on the left and right sides of the washing machine does not increase as shown in FIG.
It is possible to prevent a user from putting his / her hands or feet inside the washing machine from below the washing machine, thereby improving safety.

Here, Pa>Na>Pb> Nb, and the same applies to the other connection frames 6, 7, 8.

Effect of the Invention As described above, in the present invention, L-shaped grooves having different lengths are formed in the connecting portions for detachably engaging the connection frame at both ends of the base, and the both ends of the connection frame are provided with the L-shaped grooves. L of different length corresponding to the length of L-shaped groove with different length of connecting part
By forming the letter-shaped ribs, the assemblability of the base and the connecting frame is improved, the material cost does not increase, and the base and the connecting frame do not come off, and further, there is no mistake in assembling the connecting frame,
It is possible to provide an installation base that does not widen the gap between the lower part of the washing machine and the connection frame, prevents hands and feet from entering the lower part of the washing machine, and improves safety.
