The sheet metal support structure and the front door panel are fixedly installed together by self-tapping screws. One side wall of the sheet metal support structure is located between the decorative part and the upper bracket of the box body. The decorative part, the upper bracket of the box body, and the sheet metal support structure are fixedly installed together by self-tapping screws.

[0006] Further, the sheet metal support structure includes a main body part and folding parts formed by folding and extending from both side walls in the length direction of the main body part. Plate parts extend outward from both ends of the main body part where no folding parts are formed. A number of spaced-apart first screw holes are formed on the main body part. First through holes are formed at positions on the front door panel corresponding to the first screw holes. The self-tapping screws pass through the first through holes and are tightened into the first screw holes to fixedly install the front door panel and the sheet metal support structure together.

[0007] Further, a number of spaced-apart second through holes are formed on the plate part. The self-tapping screws pass through the second through holes and are tightened into riveting holes provided on the front door panel to fixedly install the sheet metal support structure and the front door panel together.

[0008] Further, a plurality of buckle portions are formed at intervals on the inner surface of the decorative member, and a plurality of card holes are formed at positions on the front door panel opposite to the buckle portions and are matched with the buckle portions.

[0009] Further, a plurality of spaced third through holes are formed on the folding portion of the sheet metal support structure that is mounted together with the upper bracket of the box body. Fourth through holes are formed at positions on the decorative member opposite to the third through holes, and second screw holes are formed at positions on the upper bracket of the box body opposite to the third through holes and the fourth through holes.

[0010] Further, the folding portion of the sheet metal support structure that is mounted together with the upper bracket of the box body is located between the decorative member and the upper bracket of the box body, and the self-tapping screw sequentially passes through the decorative member and the folding portion and then is tightened into the screw hole of the upper bracket of the box body.

[0011] The utility model has the following beneficial effects: The washing machine with the front door panel sheet metal support structure of the utility model enhances the strength of the front door panel and the cooperation stability between the front door panel and the box body by adding a sheet metal support structure at the flanging of the front door panel and then fixing the above structure on the upper bracket of the box body with self-tapping screws, thereby achieving the effects of reducing vibration and noise.

[0017] The following further describes the utility model with reference to the drawings.

[0018] A washing machine with a front door panel sheet metal support structure according to the present utility model includes a front door panel 1, a decorative member 2, an upper bracket 3 of the cabinet, and a sheet metal support structure 4. The sheet metal support structure 4 includes a main body portion 40 and folding portions 41 formed by folding and extending from both side walls in the length direction of the main body portion 40. Plate portions 42 are respectively formed by extending outward from both ends of the main body portion 40 where no folding portions 41 are formed. A plurality of spaced first screw holes 420 are formed on the main body portion 40. At positions on the front door panel 1 opposite to the first screw holes 420, first through holes (not shown) are formed. The upper surface of the sheet metal support structure 4 is closely attached to the inner surface of the front door panel 1. A self-tapping screw (not shown) passes through the first through hole and is then screwed into the first screw hole 420, thereby mounting and fixing the front door panel 1 and the sheet metal support structure 4 together. A plurality of spaced second through holes 421 are formed on the plate portions 42. A self-tapping screw (not shown) passes through the second through hole 421 and is then screwed into a riveting hole (not shown) provided on the front door panel 1, thereby mounting and fixing the sheet metal support structure 4 and the front door panel 1 together.
