  • the protruding rib and the groove that are matched with each other in the length direction are formed on a flange of the binding end of the front plate of the washing machine tub and the tub body so as to reinforce the rigidity in a vertical direction and achieve a limit in a horizontal direction after the tub is combined and assembled, which solves a problem of left and right misalignment and swing caused after a large-sized tub is produced and assembled with a thin plate, increases the overall strength of the tub to avoid the vibration and the noise caused by the deformation of the tub after it is assembled, and meets the requirements for the production, the transportation and the use of a large-sized washing machine without increasing the thickness of the used material.
  • the protruding strut and the hanging hole are provided on the flange to form a locking structure, and the screw and the screw hole are cooperated to perform a fastening, which replaces the conventional manner of fastening with the screw and the screw hole.
  • the front plate can be easily mounted firstly and locked on the protruding strut to form a combination of the tub body and the front plate, and afterwards, it is fastened.
  • the assembling is simple and easily performed, and there is no requirement for assisting other measures to make the two together. As a result, time and efforts are saved, and the assembly efficiency is improved.
  • the tub includes a front plate 3 and a tub body having a U-shaped cross section and formed by two side plates 1 and a rear plate 2.
  • the tub body is formed by integrally pressing a piece of steel with a thickness range of 0.6 mm to 1.2 mm.
  • convex blocks 12 can be pressed on the side plate 1 and the rear plate 2 at the same time, concave blocks also can be pressed, or both the convex blocks and the concave blocks are pressed, all of which can serve to reinforce the box.
  • the front plate 3 can be separately formed by pressing an entire plate.
  • the tub body and the front plate 3 are manufactured with a main body flange 4 and a front plate flange 5 respectively on the binding ends.
  • the main body flange 4 and the front plate flange 5 are respectively provided with protruding ribs and grooves along the length direction, and the protruding rid can fall into the grooves to form a matching.
  • a groove 8 is pressed on the main body flange 4, and the shape of the cross section of the groove 8 is an arc shape as shown in FIG. 5 .
