[0019] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a household appliance with a protective structure is provided, including a base 2 and a protective plate 3 for covering the opening position of the base 2, a positioning structure 4 and a snap structure 5 are provided between the protective plate 3 and the base 2, the protective plate 3 is guided and positioned on the base 2 by the positioning structure 4, and the protective plate 3 is fixedly mounted on the base 2 by the snap structure 5.

[0021] Specifically, the protective plate 3 can be guided by the positioning structure 4 to accurately align with the position of the opening of the base 2, and the protective plate 3 is firmly connected to the base 2 by the snap-fit ​​structure 5, so that the protective plate 3 can be quickly and firmly fixed on the base 2 during installation; during installation, the protective plate 3 is first guided to the opening of the base 2 by the positioning structure 4, and the positioning structure 4 ensures that the protective plate 3 is accurately in place, and then the snap-fit ​​structure 5 is used to fix the protective plate 3 on the base 2, so that no tools are required during installation, and it is simple, convenient and easy to operate, and has a simple structure, reliable performance and strong practicality.

[0022] Further, if Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the positioning structure 4 includes a latch 401 provided on the protective plate 3 and a latch hole 402 provided on the base 2 , and the latch 401 cooperates with the latch hole 402 to realize positioning of the protective plate 3 on the base 2 .

[0023] Specifically, through the cooperation of the latch 401 and the latch hole 402, the protective plate 3 can be accurately positioned at the opening of the base 2, ensuring a tight connection between the protective plate and the base, making the installation process of the protective plate 3 more intuitive and simple, and preventing displacement during the installation process.

[0024] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the latch 401 is located on one or more sides of the protective plate 3 , and the latch hole 402 is located on one or more sides of the base 2 .

[0025] Specifically, the latch 401 on the protective plate 3 is located on one side, and the corresponding base 2 is provided with a latch hole 402. It is suitable for a base 2 with a relatively simple structure, which is convenient for single-side insertion and fixation; or, the latch 401 on the protective plate 3 can be set on multiple sides, and the corresponding base 2 is provided with multiple latch holes 402, which is suitable for occasions that require more stable and balanced fixation and provide multi-point support.

[0026] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the snap structure 5 includes a snap member 501 disposed on the protective plate 3 and a snap hole 502 disposed on the base 2 , and the snap member 501 cooperates with the snap hole 502 to enable the protective plate 3 to cover the opening of the base 2 .

[0027] Specifically, the snap structure 5 provides a strong fixation, ensuring that the protective plate 3 will not loosen after installation, thereby improving the protective effect and the safety of the washing machine. Through the cooperation of the snap member 501 and the snap hole 502, the protective plate 3 can be quickly fixed on the base 2, and the installation process is more efficient.

[0028] Further, if Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are multiple snap fasteners 501 , which are evenly spaced apart on the outer edge of the protective plate 3 ; there are multiple snap fastener holes 502 , which are evenly spaced apart on the opening edge of the base 2 .

[0029] Specifically, by evenly spacing multiple snap members 501 at the outer edge of the protective plate 3 and evenly spacing multiple snap holes 502 at the opening edge of the base 2, it can be ensured that the protective plate 3 is evenly stressed when fixed, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0030] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, the protective plate 3, the latch 401 and the latch 501 are an integrally formed structure.

[0031] Specifically, the integrally formed structure of the protective plate 3, the latch 401 and the latch 501 can reduce production steps and assembly time, lower manufacturing costs, and make the overall structure more robust.

[0032] To be more specific, the installation process of the entire protective plate 3 is as follows: first, the protective plate 3 is preliminarily positioned through the latch 401 and the latch hole 402 to ensure that the protective plate 3 is aligned with the base 2; then, the buckle 501 on the protective plate 3 is aligned with the buckle hole 502 on the base 2, and the protective plate is pressed so that the buckle 501 is inserted into the buckle hole 502 and snaps into it. A click sound indicates that it is fixed in place. Through the dual structure of the latch 401 and the buckle 501, the protective plate 3 can be quickly and accurately positioned and fixed on the base 2, greatly improving the installation efficiency. The entire installation process does not require any tools, and users can easily complete installation and removal, improving the convenience of the product and user experience.

[0033] The household appliance further comprises a body 1 , and a base 2 is located at the bottom of the body 1 .

[0034] Specifically, household appliances include but are not limited to washing machines. Household appliances with a protective structure at the bottom of the body 1 can effectively prevent mice, insects, etc. from entering the interior of the body 1, thereby protecting the internal lines and pipes, avoiding malfunctions caused by gnawing, and ensuring the normal operation of the appliance.
