Specifically, one end of the fixing plate 11 is fixed to the inner wall of the front barrel opening 1a, and the other end of the fixing plate 11 extends in a direction close to the central axis of the front barrel opening 1 a. A positioning rib 111 is provided on a surface of the fixing plate 11 on a side close to the front baffle 2, and the positioning hole 31 of the stopper 3 is engaged with the positioning rib 111, so that the stopper 3 can be positioned on the outer cylinder 1 through the fixing plate 11. Optionally, the positioning hole 31 is in interference fit with the positioning rib 111, so that the fit structure between the stopper 3 and the fixing plate 11 is firmer, and the pre-positioning effect can be improved.
As shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments of the present invention, the positioning rib 111 includes two sub-positioning ribs 111a, and the two sub-positioning ribs 111a are connected in a crossing manner. As shown in fig. 6, the positioning hole 31 also includes two sub-positioning holes 31, and the two sub-positioning holes 31 are also arranged to intersect. When the positioning rib 111 and the positioning hole 31 are assembled, the two sub-positioning ribs 111a can extend into the corresponding sub-positioning holes 31, so that relative rotation between the stop block 3 and the fixing plate 11 can be prevented, the matching structure of the stop block 3 and the fixing plate 11 is firmer, and the positioning effect is better. It should be noted that the structural design of the positioning rib 111 is not limited to this. For example, the positioning rib 111 may be formed in a triangular prism shape, and the positioning rib 111 may be formed in a polyhedral shape (for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape).
Alternatively, a plurality of positioning ribs 111 are provided on the fixing plate 11, and the plurality of positioning ribs 111 are provided at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the fixing plate 11. The stopper 3 is provided with positioning holes 31 corresponding to the plurality of positioning ribs 111 one by one, and each positioning rib 111 can extend into the corresponding positioning hole 31. Therefore, multipoint connection can be achieved between the stop block 3 and the fixing plate 11, and the positioning effect between the stop block 3 and the fixing plate 11 can be improved.
As shown in fig. 3 to 4, according to some embodiments of the present invention, the front baffle 2 and the tub 1 are hermetically connected by the first sealing ring 9, so that the fitting structure between the front baffle 2 and the tub 1 can be more compact, and the sealing effect of the laundry treating apparatus 100 can be improved.

Alternatively, the compression of the first sealing ring 9 is ≧ 20%. It will be appreciated that the first sealing ring 9 may be an elastomeric or flexible material piece. When the annular rib 23 stops against the first sealing ring 9, the first sealing ring 9 is deformed by force, and the compression amount of the first sealing ring 9 is the deformation amount generated by the overall force of the first sealing ring 9. When the compression amount of the first seal ring 9 is too small, the force of the annular bead 23 acting on the first seal ring 9 is too small, thereby affecting the fitting tightness between the front bezel 2 and the outer cylinder 1. The compression amount of the first sealing ring 9 is controlled to be more than or equal to 20%, the compressed part of the first sealing ring 9 can be firmly abutted to the annular convex rib 23 under the action of elastic force, so that the annular bulge and the first sealing ring 9 can be matched more tightly, and the sealing effect between the front baffle 2 and the outer barrel 1 can be ensured. Further, the compression amount of the first seal ring 9 may be 25%.

In further embodiments, the first plate body 21 extends in a ring shape in the circumferential direction of the front barrel mouth 1 a. The rear end of the second plate body 22 is connected to the radially inner end of the first plate body 21, and the front end of the second plate body 22 extends forward. Further, the first plate 21 is formed in a circular ring shape. The first plate 21 is screwed to the outer cylinder 1. The second plate body 22 is formed in a cylindrical shape. When the door assembly 4 is in the closed state, the door assembly 4 is in sealing engagement with the front end surface of the second plate body 22. From this, through the aforesaid setting, can make the structural design of preceding baffle 2 simpler, can satisfy the assembly simultaneously and with door plant spare 4 seal fit's demand.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the peripheral wall of the second plate 22 may extend obliquely toward a direction close to the central axis thereof in a rear-to-front direction, so that the peripheral wall of the second plate 22 may form an oblique slope, which may facilitate the opening of the front bezel 2 and improve the production efficiency of the front bezel 2.
Alternatively, the included angle between the peripheral wall of the second plate body 22 and the central axis of the second plate body 22 may be α, and α may satisfy: alpha is more than or equal to 2 degrees. Furthermore, the front baffle 2 can be processed by adopting a punch forming mode, and when the angle alpha is more than or equal to 2 degrees, the front baffle 2 can be conveniently demoulded. For example, α may be 2.5 °.
Further, α may further satisfy: alpha is more than or equal to 3 degrees, and therefore an inclined plane with enough inclination can be formed on the peripheral wall of the second plate body 22, accumulated water on the front baffle 2 can drip along the inclined plane, so that the problem of accumulated water on the front baffle 2 can be solved, dirt can be prevented from being adsorbed on the front baffle 2, and bacteria can be prevented from breeding on the surface of the front baffle 2. For example, α may be 5 °.
Optionally, the front baffle 2 is a stainless steel front baffle. It can be understood that the mechanical property of stainless steel material is better, can be satisfying the baffle 2 before the structural fastness can the prerequisite of baffle 2 under do thinner, not only can make things convenient for the baffle 2 to install and fix, can also save assembly space, make clothes treatment facility 100's overall structure compacter, the structural strength of baffle 2 is higher simultaneously, still is favorable to guaranteeing the effect that compresses tightly to foretell dog 3. It will of course be appreciated that the front baffle 2 may also be a rigid plastic piece.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the air duct opening 2a is formed in the second plate body 22. It can be understood that, because the first plate body 21 is connected with the outer cylinder 1, the second plate body 22 can extend forward relative to the outer cylinder 1, and the air duct opening 2a is arranged on the second plate body 22, so that the processing difficulty of the air duct opening 2a can be reduced, and the air duct opening 2a and the drying tunnel component 6 can be conveniently assembled.
