Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a washing machine. The washing machine comprises a body with a washing tank, an outlet-inlet, a cover, an operation panel and a control circuit substrate. The outlet-inlet is arranged in the upper part of the body and washing objects are thrown and taken from the inlet-outlet relative to the washing tank. The pivot of the cover is supported by the body and covers the outlet-inlet in an openable and closable manner. The operation panel is arranged on the cover to form a touch sensor with an electrostatic capacitor. The control circuit substrate is arranged on the body side and used for carrying out signal processing of the operation panel.

Description
