도2는 본 발명에 따른 컨트롤러 어셈블리의 구조를 나타낸 단면도이다.2 is a cross-sectional view showing the structure of a controller assembly according to the present invention.
컨틀롤러 어셈블리는 컨트롤러 조작부(20) 및 구동 회로부(30)으로 부터 사용자를 보호하기 위한 전면판넬(10)으로 구성되어 있다.The controller assembly is composed of a front panel 10 to protect the user from the controller operation unit 20 and the drive circuit unit 30.
컨트롤러 조작부(20)는 조작부케이스(21)내에 PCB(26)과 상기 PCB상에 체결되는 조작스위치(24)와 디스플레이부(22),LCD(22a)가 위치하고, 상기 컨트롤러 조작부 하단에는 콘덴서, 저항, 방열판등의 소자를 포함하는 구동회로부(30)이 위치한다.The controller operation unit 20 includes a PCB 26, an operation switch 24 fastened on the PCB, a display unit 22, and an LCD 22a in an operation unit case 21, and a capacitor and a resistor under the controller operation unit. The driving circuit unit 30 including elements such as heat sinks is positioned.
도3은 본 발명의 외부연결포트의 조립도를 나타낸 사시도이다.Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the assembly of the external connection port of the present invention.
외부연결 포트(40)는 그 외각을 지지하는 상부하우징(41)과 하부하우징(42), 외부장치와 컨트롤러와의 전기적 신호를 교환하기 위한 핀(45), 외부장치를 연결하기 위한 외부연결포트 체결홀(49)이 형성되고, 상기 핀(45)가 체결되는 핀고정용 사출물(44)가 형성되어 있다. 또한 상기 핀(45)는 핀고정수단(46)을 통하여 상기 핀고정용사출물(44)에 고정된다.The external connection port 40 has an upper housing 41 and a lower housing 42 supporting the outer shell, a pin 45 for exchanging electrical signals between the external device and the controller, and an external connection port for connecting the external device. The fastening hole 49 is formed, and the pin fixing injection molding 44 to which the pin 45 is fastened is formed. In addition, the pin 45 is fixed to the pin fixing insert 44 through the pin fixing means 46.
이때, 외부연결포트와 PCB의 연결은 상기 외부연결포트(40)를 조작부 케이스(21)상의 PCB에 형성된 PCB홀(27)에 상기 핀(45)이 삽입하여 체결한 후, 조작부케이스(21)에 우레탄등의 코팅액을 주입 할 경우, 핀고정용 사출물과 하부하우징의 틈새(43),핀고정수단(46)과 핀(45)의 틈새(47)를 통하여 코팅액이 스며들어 외부연결포트체결홀(49)를 막게 되므로, 코팅액 차단가이드(50)을 외부연결 포트 (40)과 PCB(26)사이에 위치시킨다. 코팅액 차단가이드(50)은 외부연결포트(40)이 삽입 될 수 있도록 공간부(51)을 마련하고, 상기 코팅액 차단가이드(50)의 바닥면(52)에는 스티커와 같은 접착물질이 도포되어 있다.At this time, the connection between the external connection port and the PCB, the pin 45 is inserted into the PCB hole 27 formed in the PCB on the operation unit case 21, and then fastened to the operation unit case 21 When injecting a coating solution, such as urethane, the coating liquid penetrates through the gap 43 between the pin fixing injection molding and the lower housing, the gap 47 between the pin fixing means 46 and the pin 45, and connects the external connection port. Since the 49 is blocked, the coating solution blocking guide 50 is located between the external connection port 40 and the PCB (26). The coating solution blocking guide 50 is provided with a space 51 so that the external connection port 40 can be inserted, and an adhesive material such as a sticker is coated on the bottom surface 52 of the coating solution blocking guide 50. .
조립 과정은 PCB(26)위에 상기 코팅액 차단가이드(50)의 바닥면(52)에 도포된 접착물질을 이용하여 장착시키고, 상기 공간부(51)에 외부연결포트(40)을 삽입함과 동시에 핀(45)를 PCB홀(27)에 결합하고, 코팅액을 주입한다.The assembly process is mounted on the PCB 26 by using the adhesive material applied to the bottom surface 52 of the coating solution blocking guide 50, and at the same time inserting the external connection port 40 into the space 51 The pin 45 is coupled to the PCB hole 27, and the coating liquid is injected.
이때, 코팅액 차단가이드(50)은 스폰지를 사용하는데, 왜냐하면 외부연결포트(40)의 진동이 PCB에 전달되지 않도록 완충작용을 하기 위함이다. 또한 상기 스폰지 외부연결포트가 압력을 외부로 부터 전달 받을때 완충작용을 하며, PCB에 접착하기 위한 접착물질을 도포하기도 용이하기 때문이다. 그러나 고무 또는 기타의 재질을 사용하여도 우수한 차단성능을 발휘할수 있다.At this time, the coating liquid blocking guide 50 uses a sponge, because it is to buffer the vibration so that the vibration of the external connection port 40 is not transmitted to the PCB. In addition, since the sponge external connection port receives a pressure from the outside to the buffering effect, it is easy to apply the adhesive material for bonding to the PCB. However, rubber or other materials can be used to provide excellent barrier performance.
상기와 같이 이루어진 본 발명은 다음과 역할을 수행한다.The present invention made as described above performs the following role.
본 발명은 상기 컨트롤러 상에 장착된 외부연결포트(40)를 통해 외부의 무한한 데이터(data)를 다운로드(down-load)할 수 있거나 세탁기에서 점검된 체크리스트(check list)를 외부로 업로드(up-load)할 수 있도록 세탁기와 컴퓨터가 상호 연결되는 커넥팅 구조(connecting structure)가 세탁기에 장착되도록 한 것이다.The present invention can download (down-load) external infinite data through the external connection port 40 mounted on the controller or upload the check list checked in the washing machine to the outside (up). The connecting structure is connected to the washing machine and the computer so that the washing machine and the computer can be loaded on the washing machine.
즉, 세탁기 사용 정보인 세탁량, 세탁물의 종류 등을 파악하여 외부로 전송할 수 있는 구조인 커넥팅 구조가 성립됨과 더불어 외부에서도 세탁기에 필요한 프로그램을 전송시켜 줄 수 있는 기술의 개발이 진전되고 있음에 따라, 필요한 세탁기능을 소비자가 선택할 수 있도록 가변적 세탁기능을 제공하는 가변형 세탁기 및 소비자에게 꼭 알맞는 세탁기능을 제공하는 맞춤형 세탁기의 개발을 한층 더 발전시킬 수 있도록 한 것이다.In other words, as the connection structure, which is a structure that can identify washing machine usage information, type of laundry, and type of laundry, can be transmitted to the outside, the development of a technology capable of transmitting a program required for the washing machine from the outside is being advanced. It will further develop the development of a variable washing machine that provides a variable washing function so that consumers can select the required washing function and a customized washing machine that provides a washing function that is just right for the consumer.
이상에서와 같이, 본 발명은 상기 컨트롤러 상에 장착된 외부연결포트를 통해 외부의 무한한 데이터를 다운로드할 수 있거나 세탁기에서 점검된 체크리스트를 외부로 업로드할 수 있도록 세탁기와 컴퓨터가 상호 연결되는 커넥팅 구조가 세탁기에 장착되도록 함과 동시에 외부연결포터의 막힘없이 외부장치와 정보교환을 할 수 있게된다.As described above, the present invention is a connecting structure in which a washing machine and a computer are connected to each other so that the external infinite data can be downloaded through the external connection port mounted on the controller or the checklist checked by the washing machine can be uploaded to the outside. Is installed in the washing machine and at the same time it is possible to exchange information with the external device without clogging the external connection porter.
