This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically providing a housing and a household appliance, aiming to solve the problems of decreased touch sensitivity of touch buttons due to environmental interference and mechanical jamming of mechanical buttons in existing household appliances. To this end, the housing of this application includes: a base body with a mounting cavity; a switch
assembly disposed within the mounting cavity, the switch
assembly including a circuit board and a trigger part connected to the circuit board; and a protective sleeve having a connecting end and a pressing end opposite to the connecting end, the connecting end being located within the mounting cavity and connected to the trigger part, and the pressing end being at least partially exposed outside the mounting cavity. In this application, the housing isolates dust, liquids, and other contaminants through the
physical barrier of the pressing end of the protective sleeve, preventing trigger
signal interference and short circuits, improving touch reliability, and enhancing user experience. Simultaneously, the connecting end of the protective sleeve directly engages or snaps with the trigger rod, simplifying the mechanical structure and helping to eliminate the risks of
mechanical wear and
foreign object jamming.
