[0091] A further solution is that the housing includes an upper housing 102 and a lower housing 103. A first through hole 105 is provided on the upper housing 102. The first display control module 3 is assembled in the first through hole 105. A mating sealing cover 106 is provided at the lower part of the first through hole 105 to form the receiving groove 104, which covers and seals the lower part of the first display control module 3.

[0092] In this solution, the upper housing 102 serves to support the cover plate 101 and the first display control module 3, and the lower housing 103 serves to close the bottom of the upper housing 102. The first through hole 105 provided on the upper housing 102 is the position for installing the first display control module 3. After the first display control module 3 is limited and fixed in the first through hole 105, the sealing cover 106 plugs the bottom of the first through hole 105 and is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the upper housing 102, thereby forming the receiving groove 104, which serves to seal the lower half of the first display control module 3, prevent washing water from entering the chamber containing the first display control module 3, and ensure its safe operation.

[0093] The outer peripheral edge of the sealing cover 106 is provided with a protruding portion, and fixing holes are provided on the protruding portion. A fixing member passes through the fixing holes to fixedly connect the sealing cover 106 to the lower surface of the upper housing 102.

[0094] Preferably, the sealing cover 106 includes a bottom plate and a side plate. The side plate surrounds the edge of the bottom plate, and the bottom plate and the side plate together form a concave cavity with an upper opening.

[0095] In a further solution, the first display control module 3 is assembled in the first through hole 105 through a limiting structure, which is convenient for installation and disassembly, and can also limit its position to prevent the first display control module 3 from changing its position, ensuring the control effect and display effect.

[0096] Preferably, the outer peripheral edge of the first display control module 3 is provided with a plug-in block 107 protruding outward, and a mating socket 108 is provided at the corresponding position on the edge of the first through hole 105;

[0097] The plug-in block 107 extends outward from the edge of the first display control module 3 and extends a certain distance in the horizontal direction. The socket 108 is a downwardly recessed notch provided on the inner peripheral edge of the first through hole 105; A plurality of the plug-in blocks 107 and sockets 108 are provided to further enhance the limiting and fixing effect.

[0098] When the first display control module 3 is assembled in the first through hole 105, the plug-in block 107 is inserted into the socket 108 from top to bottom, and the upper surface of the first display control module 3 is flush with the upper surface of the upper housing 102.

[0099] In a further solution, a mating positioning structure is also provided in the first display control module 3 and the first through hole 105;

[0100] Preferably, the outer peripheral edge of the first display control module 3 is provided with a positioning block 109 protruding outward, and a mating positioning hole 110 is provided at the corresponding position on the inner circumference of the first through hole 105;

[0101] The positioning block 109 extends a certain distance in the thickness direction of the first display control module 3. The positioning hole 110 is a hole penetrating up and down, or a notch with an open top and a blocked bottom.

[0102] In this solution, the cooperation of the plug-in block 107 and the socket 108, and the cooperation of the positioning block 109 and the positioning hole 110 can limit the movement of the first display control module 3 in all directions, ensuring the fixing effect of the first display control module 3, and thus ensuring the control effect and display effect.

[0103] Since the user is likely to leave washing water on the upper cover 1 during the process of picking up and putting down clothes, in order to avoid the influence of the washing water on the first display control module 3 on the upper cover 1, the receiving groove 104 is provided with a sealing structure to prevent the washing water from entering the first display control module 3.

[0104] Further, a first groove 111 is provided on the upper surface of the upper housing 102.
