    摘要: Provided are an operating assembly and a household appliance. The operating assembly includes a first operating portion and a second operating portion. The first operating portion is at least partially disposed in the second operating portion. The second operating portion can be located at and move back and forth between a first position and a second position of the first operating portion. When the second operating portion is located at the first position, the second operating portion can rotate relative to the first operating portion to generate a first electric signal; when the second operating portion is located at the second position, the second operating portion can drive the first operating portion to rotate to generate a second electrical signal during the rotation of the first operating portion; and the first operating portion can be pressed to generate a third electric signal.

    摘要: A knob device includes a lower cover assembly, an upper cover assembly, a limiting member and an annular member. The lower cover assembly includes a first stopping portion. The upper cover assembly is rotatably stacked on the lower cover assembly along an axis. The upper cover assembly has multiple fixing holes. The limiting member is located between the upper cover assembly and the lower cover assembly and fixed to the lower cover assembly. The limiting member includes a body and a second stopping portion extending from the body. The second stopping portion and first stopping portion are arranged up and down along the axis. The annular member is arranged around the body, and the annular member is rotatably arranged between the first stopping portion of the lower cover assembly and the second stopping portion. The first stopping portion and the second stopping portion limit the annular member on the axis. The annular member includes multiple pogo pins retractably protruding from an outer surface. The pogo pins extend into the fixing holes of the upper cover assembly to fix the annular member to the upper cover assembly.
