In order to keep the wire 105 stable in the first cavity 109, a blocking piece 103-4 for blocking the wire 105 from falling off is further disposed at the first cavity 109. As shown in fig. 2, the blocking piece 103-4 is preferably designed to be L-shaped, two ends of the blocking piece 103-4 are respectively provided with a clamping portion 103-41, the clamping portion 103-41 is perpendicular to the blocking piece body, and extends into the first cavity 109 after being assembled to block the lead 105 from falling off from the first cavity 109.

A hinge reinforcing plate 106 is arranged on the inner side of the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101, namely, on the side far away from the door hinge assembly, a second through hole 106-1 is arranged at the position of the hinge reinforcing plate 106 corresponding to the first through hole 101-27, and the lead 105 is guided by the first through hole 101-27 and the second through hole 106-1 to penetrate through the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101 and then enter a second lead groove 107-1 formed on the lead plate 107 from bottom to top. The upper edge of the wire guide plate 107 is fixedly arranged on the front beam 108.

In this embodiment, the wire 105 for connecting the voice module 104 and the control module 110 needs to change the extending direction for many times, the bent portion is easily broken or broken, and the first cavity 109 and the blocking piece 103-4 play a certain protection role. Before entering the first cavity 109, the conducting wire 105 is bent from bottom to top, so that the conducting wire 105 can be better guided, the conducting wire 105 can be prevented from sliding, and meanwhile, the conducting wire 105 can be protected, a guide cavity 102-42 is formed on the hinge plate 102-4, and the guide cavity 102-42 is formed below the groove 102-41 of the hinge plate 102-4 corresponding to the matched door hinge assembly and is communicated with the groove 102-41. The guide cavities extend in a direction away from the second inner frame surfaces 102-32. After the installation is completed, the position of the guide cavity corresponds to the third wall section. When the direction of the conducting wire 105 is changed from bottom to top, the guide cavity can play a good role in guiding and protecting, and the connection stability between the voice module 104 and the control module 110 in the long-term use process is ensured.

In order to achieve the effect of compact and beautiful external design, in this embodiment, the front plate 101-2 of the box 101 is a sheet metal integrated front plate. The front plate 101-2 of the whole box body 101 is only embedded with a distributor handle 101-22, a display module 101-21, a key module 101-23 and a filter 101-24. Preferably, the control module 110 and the display module 101-21 are integrally designed, the display module 101-21 is on the front plate 101-2 of the case 101, and the control module 110 is inside. The display module may be an LCD display screen, LED display screen or other available display screen. For the convenience of assembly, the upper edge of the front plate 101-2 of the case 101 is provided with a flange 101-25 extending in the same direction as the front plate 101-2 of the case 101. In a non-assembly state, the flanging 101-25 forms a certain included angle with the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101. Preferably, the included angle is 5 degrees. The front beam 108 includes a beam body 108-1 and a connecting portion 108-2, the beam body 108-1 and the connecting portion 108-2 are perpendicular to each other, and the extending direction of the connecting portion 108-2 is opposite to the extending direction of the front plate 101-2 of the box 101. During assembly, the left end and the right end of the beam body 108-1 are fixedly connected with the box body 101-1 through bolts, and then the connecting part 108-2 extends into the area between the flanging 101-25 and the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101, namely the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101 is hung on the front beam 108 and is fixed through the bolts, and the assembly is completed. In this way, the sheet metal integrated front plate is suspended on the front cross member 108. After the suspension is finished, the flanging is basically parallel to the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101, so that the suspension effect is stable and reliable.

Because the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101 is designed in a metal plate integrated manner, sound pickup holes are protected at the same time in order to achieve a better sound pickup effect. In the present embodiment, the speaker and the microphone connected to the voice module 104 are both disposed in the support cavity 102-5; the speaker through hole 111-2 and the microphone sound pickup hole 111-1 are provided on the first inner frame surface 102-31. Preferably, a microphone array 111 is provided in the support cavity 105 to optimize the sound pickup effect of the speech module 104. The microphone array 111 may be a linear array that can resolve sound source information within 180 degrees or a circular array that can resolve sound source information within 360 degrees. For the drum washing machine, generally, the probability that the sound source information comes from below is small, and therefore, it is preferable to provide a linear array, and symmetrical microphone sound-collecting holes 111-1 corresponding to the linear array are provided on the first inner frame surface 102-31. The voice module 104 is preferably disposed at a position above a centerline of the door assembly 102 of the washing machine, and the display control module 110 is disposed in the cabinet 101 at a corresponding position. In this way, the inner frame and the front plate 101-2 of the box body 101 may form a sound-collecting cavity, and in order to ensure the sealing effect, a sealing strip is usually further disposed in the sound-collecting cavity in a matching manner. The sound inlet of the pickup cavity is formed at the gap between the door assembly 102 of the washing machine and the front plate 101-2 of the cabinet 101, and is highly ergonomic. In a more preferred form, a trim strip 110 is provided at the sound inlet, the trim strip having a guide hole therein, the guide hole being blind. The guide hole does not have the effect of really picking up sound, but guides the user to make a sound towards the area, and the using effect of the voice module 104 is guaranteed. And the function of beautifying the appearance is achieved.

The drum washing machine disclosed by the invention has the advantages that the appearance is simple, and meanwhile, the working stability of the voice module is improved through the specially designed connection mode of the voice module and the control module; after the connecting structure is added, the control module can be conveniently and mechanically and electrically connected with other functional parts in the box body, and the normal opening and closing of the door body cannot be influenced. The drum washing machine disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high working stability, good practicability and attractive appearance.
