[0010] According to the end cover provided by the utility model, the following additional technical features can also be provided:

[0011] In some embodiments, the limiting portion is arranged at one end of the mounting protrusion away from the end cover body and extends outward in the radial direction of the elastic ring.

[0012] In these embodiments, the limiting portion can be arranged at one end of the mounting protrusion away from the end cover body and extend outward in the radial direction of the elastic ring, that is, the limiting portion is arranged to protrude from the outer surface of the mounting protrusion, so that the elastic ring can be axially limited by the limiting portion.

[0013] In some embodiments, the mounting protrusion is hollow and tubular, one end of the mounting protrusion away from the end cover body is formed with an outwardly bent flange structure, and the flange structure is the limiting portion.

The multiple limiting parts can limit the elastic ring from multiple points to prevent it from shifting or twisting in the circumferential direction, ensuring the stability of the elastic ring in the circumferential direction, so as to better play its damping role, and also facilitate the accurate cooperation between the elastic ring and the mounting protrusion during installation, improving the assembly efficiency and quality.

[0023] In some embodiments, optionally, the end cover further comprises a guide surface arranged along the circumference of the mounting protrusion at the limiting part, for guiding the installation of the elastic ring.

[0024] In the embodiments, the guide surface of the limiting portion is arranged circumferentially along the mounting protrusion, which can guide the installation of the elastic ring. The elastic ring can be more smoothly fitted into the mounting protrusion and matched with the limiting portion, reducing the jamming and friction in the installation process, reducing the damage risk of the elastic ring and the mounting protrusion, and improving the assembly efficiency and quality.

[0045] In order to enable the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the present application to be more clearly understood, the present application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0046] In the following description, many specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present application, however, the present application can be practiced in other manners different from those described herein, therefore, the scope of protection of the present application is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0047] Reference will now be made to the following Figures 1 to 4 descriptions of end covers, motors and laundry treating apparatuses according to some embodiments of the present application.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first aspect of the present application proposes an end cover 1 comprising an end cover body 10 and an elastic ring 11. The end cover body 10 is provided with a mounting protrusion 102. The elastic ring 11 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting protrusion 102 and can rotate relative to the mounting protrusion 102. The mounting protrusion 102 is provided with a limiting portion 1022 for limiting the axial movement of the elastic ring 11. The inner periphery of the elastic ring 11 is provided with a mounting groove 112, which penetrates through both ends of the elastic ring 11. The elastic ring 11 is fitted on the outer periphery of the mounting protrusion 102 through the mounting groove 112.

[0049] The end cover 1 provided by the utility model, comprising an end cover body 10 and an elastic ring 11. The end cover body 10 is provided with a mounting protrusion 102, the elastic ring 11 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting protrusion 102, the mounting protrusion 102 is provided with a limiting portion 1022 for limiting the axial movement of the elastic ring 11, thereby preventing the elastic ring 11 from separating from the mounting protrusion 102 and ensuring the stability of the elastic ring 11. Meanwhile, the inner periphery of the elastic ring 11 is provided with a mounting groove 112, the mounting groove 112 penetrates through both ends of the elastic ring 11, so that the elastic ring 11 can be sleeved on the outer periphery of the mounting protrusion 102 through the cooperation of the mounting groove 112 and the limiting portion 1022, thereby limiting the elastic ring 11 by the limiting portion 1022. Specifically, when mounting the elastic ring 11, since the mounting groove 112 is provided through both ends of the elastic ring 11, the mounting groove 112 can be aligned with the limiting portion 1022 first, then the elastic ring 11 is pressed, so that the elastic ring 11 slides along the mounting protrusion 102 to the end cover body 10 under the cooperation of the limiting portion 1022 and the mounting groove 112, thereby making the elastic ring 11 finally sleeved on the mounting protrusion 102. After the elastic ring 11 is sleeved on the mounting protrusion 102 (as shown in Figure 2 , after the elastic ring 11 is sleeved on the mounting protrusion 102), the elastic ring 11 is rotated to make the mounting groove 112 dislocated with the limiting portion 1022 (as shown in Figure 3 , after the elastic ring 11 is rotated), thereby realizing the limiting of the elastic ring 11 by the limiting portion 1022. Compared with the related art, this kind of setting does not need to additionally set a limiting piece to limit the elastic ring 11, so that the use of parts can be saved, thereby reducing the cost.
