Abstract: Introduction This paper investigates the structural optimization and performance enhancement of washing machines, focusing on the lightweight design of the outer drum flange structure and the rigidity enhancement of the box structure of the washing machine. The study adopted SolidWorks software for modeling and simulation analysis, and used finite element analysis to optimize the design of the outer drum flange structure and box structure of the washing machine. The performance of the different design alternatives was evaluated by simulating stress clouds, displacement clouds and fatigue analysis. It is shown that the optimized washing machine outer drum flange structure not only reduces the weight but also improves the structural strength, and the reliability of the design is verified by fatigue analysis. In addition, the optimization of the box structure improves the rigidity and overall performance. The study in this paper provides a valuable reference for the structural optimization of washing machines, and more efficient and environmentally friendly design solutions can be further explored in the future.
