Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of washing equipment, and in particular relates to a washing machine. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, the disc base of the pulsator washing machine is completely located on the casing and is fastened by screws. The process of installing the screws is complicated, consumes manpower and time, is troublesome to install and disassemble, and increases parts. The assembly position affects the appearance and also greatly increases the overall height of the washing machine, occupying the placement space of the washing machine. This has a particularly significant impact on the overall height of a small washing machine.

[0003] A Chinese patent application numbered CN201210421049.5 discloses a control panel seat for a washing machine and a washing machine equipped with the control panel seat. The control panel seat for the washing machine comprises a control panel seat body (1) and a decorative plate (16) arranged on the upper surface of the control panel seat body. A circle of decorative strips (3) are arranged on the outer periphery of the control panel seat body. The decorative strips (3) extend downward along the outer periphery to form a rim (4). The rim (4) wraps the upper edge (5) of the washing machine body within the rim (4). Although the control panel seat for the washing machine is placed inside the washing machine body, the control panel seat is connected to the decorative strip by buckling at the upper end, and is not connected to the decorative strip at the lower end. There is some looseness between the control panel seat and the decorative strip.
