[0020] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of a self-illuminating decorative component. Detailed Implementation

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] This utility model relates to a self-operated decorative component with lighting function, which is installed on a drum washing machine. The drum washing machine includes a washing machine body 1, and the self-operated decorative component 2 is installed at the front center position of the washing machine body 1. The self-operated decorative component 2 includes a self-operated decorative base 20, a self-operated decorative flip cover 21 pivotally mounted to the bottom of the self-operated decorative base 20, and a decorative small cover 22 installed on the self-operated decorative base 20.

[0023] A groove 200 is formed on the self-sinking decorative base 20, and a magnetic switch 3 is installed in the groove 200. A magnetic element 211 is installed on the self-sinking decorative flip cover 21 opposite to the magnetic switch 3. The magnetic switch 3 contains a magnetic element that can sense changes in magnetic field strength.

[0024] The decorative cover 22 has a protruding latching part (not shown) on its surface facing the self-regulating decorative base 20. A slot (not shown) is formed on the self-regulating decorative base 20 opposite to the latching part. The decorative cover 22 is installed onto the self-regulating decorative base 20 by inserting the latching part into the slot. When the decorative cover 22 is installed onto the self-regulating decorative base 20, the magnetic switch 3 is conveniently hidden behind the decorative cover 22.

[0025] The top of the self-sinking decorative base 20 is connected to the self-sinking decorative flip cover 21 by an elephant trunk lock 5.

[0026] The self-propelled decorative base 20 has hook portions 202 at both ends along its length, and a protrusion 210 is formed on the self-propelled decorative flip cover 21 opposite to the hook portions 202. The self-propelled decorative base 20 and the self-propelled decorative flip cover 21 are engaged together by the cooperation of the hook portions 202 and the protrusion 210.

[0027] A light strip 6 is installed on the self-adjusting decorative base 20 behind the groove 200. The light strip 6 is composed of several small LED lights.
