Abstract

A household appliance includes a storage space. A partition plate located in the storage space includes a first surface, a second surface, a first end, and a second end. A first connecting structure includes a first projecting portion and a first slot. The first slot includes a first slot section and a second slot section being in communication with the first slot section and extending in a front-back direction. The first slot section has an inlet opening to the first surface and/or the second surface. The first projecting portion is adapted to enter the first slot section through the inlet and then enter the second slot section. The household appliance is therefore easy to assemble.
