This utility model relates to the field of
home appliance technology, and discloses a housing
assembly and a
home appliance. The housing
assembly includes a first housing, a second housing, and a
retaining ring. The second housing is connected to the first housing. The
retaining ring is disposed at the connection between the first housing and the second housing, with one end of the
retaining ring being engaged with the first housing and the other end being engaged with the second housing. It is used to provide a tension force at the connection between the first housing and the second housing. This utility model continuously applies a tension force that brings the first housing and the second housing closer to each other, effectively eliminating the gap that may be caused by manufacturing tolerances or
assembly loosening of the first housing and the second housing, making the first housing and the second housing more tightly joined at the connection, improving stability and aesthetics.
