[0025] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 11 The control panel assembly includes a main body 1, a display control panel 2 and a control panel shell 3. A buckle 5 is provided on the control panel shell 3, and a clamping hole 6 is provided on the display control panel 2. The buckle 5 and the clamping hole 6 are mutually clamped to fix the display control panel 2 on the control panel shell 3, and the display control panel 2 and the control panel shell 3 form an integral component. A mounting cavity 4 is provided on the front side of the main body 1. The integral component formed by the control panel 2 and the control panel shell 3 is mounted on the mounting cavity 4 of the main body 1. The control panel shell 3 covers the front opening of the mounting cavity 4, and the control panel shell 3 is located on the front side of the display control panel 2. This structure is fixed by buckles without the need for screws. The installation is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the production efficiency.

[0027] A first slotted hole 7 is disposed at the bottom of the installation cavity 4 , and a latch 8 is disposed at the bottom of the control board housing 3 . The latch 8 is inserted into the first slotted hole 7 .

[0028] A second slot hole 9 is disposed on the top of the installation cavity 4 , and an elastic buckle 10 is disposed on the top of the control board housing 3 . The elastic buckle 10 and the second slot hole 9 are buckled with each other.

[0029] When installing the control board shell 3, first insert the pin 8 into the first slot 7, then rotate the control board shell 3 so that the elastic buckle 10 is inserted into the second slot 9, and the installation is completed; before installing the control board shell 3, first fix the display control board 2 on the control board shell 3.

[0030] A limiting rib 11 is provided on the mounting cavity 4, and a limiting portion 12 is provided on the control board shell 3 and / or the display control board 2. The limiting portion 12 of the control board shell 3 and / or the display control board 2 abuts against the limiting rib 11, thereby preventing the integral component formed by the control board 2 and the control board shell 3 from shifting backwards; the limiting portion 12 of this embodiment is provided on the control board shell 3.

[0031] The display control board 2 is provided with a touch spring 14 , the control board shell 3 is provided with a third limiting rib 15 with a through hole 21 , and the touch spring 14 is sleeved on the outside of the third limiting rib 15 , that is, the touch spring 14 is sleeved on the outside of the through hole 21 .

[0032] The end face 16 of the touch spring 14 abuts against the inner wall 17 of the control board shell 3; the conventional structure touch spring 14 is generally sleeved on the inner side of the through hole 21 of the third limiting rib 15. After installation, the touch spring 14 will exceed the control board shell 3. In the process of being transferred to the next process, since the touch spring 14 is exposed outside the control board shell 3, it is easy to scratch the touch spring 14 during circulation, causing the touch spring 14 to deform, thereby affecting the touch sensitivity or even failure; the present design cleverly sleeves the touch spring 14 outside the through hole 21 of the third limiting rib 15, and the end face 16 of the touch spring 14 abuts against the inner wall 17 of the control board shell 3, so that the touch spring 14 will not leak out of the control board shell 3, thereby effectively avoiding the above problem.

[0033] It also includes a panel 18 . A receiving groove 19 is provided on the front surface of the main body 1 . The panel 18 is installed on the receiving groove 19 . The panel 18 covers the front side of the control board shell 3 and the installation cavity 4 .

[0034] A handle 20 is provided at the bottom of the main body 1, and the handle 20 facilitates the removal of the control panel assembly b from the door assembly a.

[0035] The dishwasher comprises a door body component a and a control panel component b. The control panel component b is arranged on the top of the door body component a.
