Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of electrical appliances, and in particular to an integrated front plate and an electrical appliance. BACKGROUND

[0002] In related technologies, the front plate structure in the housing of an electrical appliance is assembled by a front plate, a cabinet door, and a decorative edge strip. However, during the assembly of the housing of the electrical appliance, the components may not match. For example, different models or batches of front plate assemblies have size deviations, which makes assembly difficult. If forced assembly is performed, the front plate may be deformed and not firmly installed, which affects the normal use and stability of the electrical appliance. Over-tightening of the screws may damage the front plate or the internal thread structure, causing the screws to slip, which affects the fastening of the front plate. If the screws are not tightened enough, the front plate connection will not be tight and may be loose, which may produce abnormal noise during use of the electrical appliance, and even cause the front plate to fall off. The assembly of the housing of the electrical appliance product usually has a specific order. If the installation order is incorrect, the subsequent assembly steps may not be able to proceed smoothly, which requires re-disassembly and adjustment, increases the assembly time and cost, and may damage the already installed components.
