         6 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 5 , wherein a height from a lower surface of a “T” shape of the protruding strut to an upper surface of the main body flange is slightly larger than a thickness of the plate at the opening of the hanging hole. 
     
     
         7 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 5 , wherein the opening is a combination of an upper rectangular hole and a lower oblong hole. 
     
     
         8 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 1 , wherein cross sections of the protruding rib and the groove are in an arc shape. 
     
     
         9 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 1 , wherein convex blocks and concave blocks are pressed on the two side plates and the rear plate to reinforce the tub body. 
     
     
         10 . A washing machine, comprising a washing machine tub, wherein the washing machine tub comprises a front plate and a tub body formed by two side plates and a rear plate, wherein the tub body is integrally formed, a main body flange and a front plate flange are respectively provide at binding ends of the tub body and the front plate, and a protruding rib and a groove are cooperatively provided at the main body flange and the front plate flange respectively, along a length direction thereof to prevent deformation of a tub. 
     
     
         11 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 2 , wherein cross sections of the protruding rib and the groove are in an arc shape. 
     
     
         12 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 3 , wherein cross sections of the protruding rib and the groove are in an arc shape. 
     
     
         13 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 2 , wherein convex and concave blocks are pressed on the two side plates and the rear plate to reinforce the tub body. 
     
     
         14 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 3 , wherein convex and concave blocks are pressed on the two side plates and the rear plate to reinforce the tub body. 
     
     
         15 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 1 , wherein convex blocks are pressed on the two side plates and the rear plate to reinforce the tub body. 
     
     
         16 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 2 , wherein convex blocks are pressed on the two side plates and the rear plate to reinforce the tub body. 
     
     
         17 . The washing machine tub according to  claim 3 , wherein convex blocks are pressed on the two side plates and the rear plate to reinforce the tub body.
