Embodiment 1

[0031] Such as figure 1 , 2 As shown in , 3, the washing machine provided by Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes an operation display part 1 and a circuit board 2 , and the operation display part 1 is provided with knob buttons that can trigger components on the circuit board 2 . The knob button includes a knob assembly and a button assembly sleeved inside the knob assembly. The button assembly includes a button bracket 4 and a button 3 installed on the top of the button bracket 4. The side wall of the button bracket 4 is provided with a spring for resetting the button 3. structure, the button 3 is provided with a pushing part that cooperates with the elastic structure and a triggering part that triggers the components on the circuit board 2 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the knob assembly and the button assembly are arranged together, and the knob button has both the knob function and the button function, which can effectively reduce the number of control buttons ...

Embodiment 2

[0047] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the elastic structure is a spring sheathed on the outside of the button bracket 4 , the button bracket 4 is provided with a step that conflicts with the lower end of the spring, and the upper end of the spring conflicts with the button 3 . After the button 3 is pressed, the spring is compressed, and after the external force disappears, the spring drives the button 3 to reset. The elastic structure is simple in structure and good in use effect.

Embodiment 3

[0049] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the elastic structure is an elastic cantilever arranged on the inner wall of the button bracket 4, that is, the connecting portion on the elastic cantilever extends inward along the radial direction of the button bracket 4, and the elastic portion is arranged on the button The inside of the bracket 4 extends along the circumferential direction of the inner peripheral wall of the key bracket.
