Abstract (en)

A drum washing machine comprises a machine body (1), a container chamber (2) being formed in the machine body (1); a door body (3) being movably arranged on the machine body (1) for allowing the container chamber (2) to be opened and close; and a glass window (4) being arranged on the door body (3) for observing an inner drum (5) of the drum washing machine; a concave space (6) being formed by the glass window (4) being recessed towards the container chamber (2), and being provided with an opening outward; an additive chamber (7) is arranged in the concave space (6) of the glass window (4) for feeding additives into the additive chamber (7) from the opening outward, and the additive chamber (7) is a sealed chamber structure. The drum washing machine makes full use of a vacant structural space of a sealed glass door and window of an existing washing machine by providing a detergent feeding box, a softener feeding box and the like, so that a detergent box at an upper part of the drum washing machine is canceled and the integration of an operation panel is realized; and the appearance of the drum washing machine is improved, detergent replacement can be achieved conveniently and quickly, and customer experience is greatly improved.
